Mu Guiying said at the end of the letter: "The eldest princess supervises the military administration of the two protectorates of the seven prefectures, and the two protectorates of the seven prefectures include northern Xinjiang, that is to say, the eldest princess actually controls part of the military decision-making power and administrative power of the northern Xinjiang army. Although there is still a part of the military decision-making power and administrative power in the hands of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, because the Son of Heaven is now in trouble, the imperial court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, and in fact, this part of the power has also been attributed to the eldest princess. ”

"At present, the war in the Kwantung region is tense, Dong Zhuo has no time to take care of it, it is impossible for him to think of asking the Son of Heaven to add another holy decree to the eldest princess. And Zhang Wen and the others, considering the current situation and the current situation in northern Xinjiang, are definitely unwilling to break with their husbands, so it is impossible for him to implore the eldest princess to play the Son of Heaven. But in order to prevent accidents, I still asked my husband to strengthen his vigilance and strictly prevent the eldest princess from sending people west to Chang'an. With and without this holy decree, for Northern Xinjiang, it is a matter of life and death, please do not neglect it. ”

"Before, I repeatedly asked my husband to refuse the imperial envoys to enter Jin, but my husband insisted on not listening. The husband said that the trend of checks and balances has just been formed, and it needs the understanding and support of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and it cannot openly resist the decree. But now that the situation has changed abruptly, Dong Zhuo and us have completely broken up, the trend of checks and balances has been completely destroyed, and we are subject to the eldest princess, how to deal with it? Please return to Quanzhou as soon as possible. ”

Li Yi didn't expect such a thing to happen. Before I left Quanzhou, didn't many things have been decided? Although Dong Zhuo made peace with us for the time being, the crisis in northern Xinjiang has not eased, and of course the strategy of attacking Luoyang cannot be changed. Why is it suddenly involved in the distribution of power? Why is the crisis in northern Xinjiang getting bigger and bigger?

After reading Mu Guiying's letters, the generals and strategists in the tent were also speechless. After the eldest princess arrived in northern Xinjiang, the threat to northern Xinjiang finally began to appear.

"It's all my fault and Gongda." Xun Yu said very apologetically, "The lord has worked hard for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the Northern Xinjiang. I tried my best to find all the ways to do it. But because of the incompetence of those who stayed behind to guard the house, the lord was dragged to a desperate situation step by step. ”

Li Yi looked at Xun Yu, reached out and patted his back very movingly, and said, "Brother Wen Ruo, don't say that." We've all done our best, not to mention that we're not at the end of our rope yet, and we still have a way. ”

"My lord, the generals, as well as Brother Mao, Brother Berwin, and Fengxiao, for several years, you have been fighting in all directions, and you have never been in contact with the government. You can't think of today, understandably. But Gongda and I should have thought of it a long time ago. Xun Yu sighed, "It's a pity that Gongda and I are too young, except for talking about Taixue, we are just small officials for a while, and we don't have any experience in dealing with state affairs." I also don't know much about political affairs, especially about the power struggle in the court, so I don't know anything about it. I'm really ashamed of my ignorance. ”

"Looking back now, it started from the time of the first emperor. The imperial court was already trying to weaken and restrain the power of the lord, and due to various coincidences, they finally succeeded. ”

"Before returning to heaven, the first emperor did two most important things, one was to give two edicts to the lord, and the other was to send the eldest princess to the country of Hejian. Although the purpose of the first emperor seems to be for the emperor. But in fact, the ultimate goal of the first emperor was to weaken and restrain the lord. ”

"One of the two edicts to the lord was immediately sent to northern Xinjiang, and the other was handed over to Yuan Kui. Yuan Kui understood the intentions of the first emperor very well, even if the matter of the emperor had been resolved, but the matter of the lord had not been resolved, especially when Dong Zhuo appeared later. So Yuan Kui had a plan to kill two birds with one stone. The stone is the Dong Alliance, and the two birds are the lord and Dong Zhuo. ”

"One stone kills two birds, and it requires all kinds of conditions, and you can't just smash it if you want to. The best way to crush two birds is to tie them around their necks with a rope and then crush them to death. The rope that binds Dong Zhuo is the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo holds the Son of Heaven hostage, and the Son of Heaven is in trouble, so he will fight if he doesn't fight. The rope that binds the lord is the eldest princess, and the eldest princess wants to work hard to eliminate the adulterer, and if you don't fight, you will be beaten. Now both birds are tied up and waiting for the stone to come and smash it. ”

"If the eldest princess didn't have the edict of the first emperor, at most she would have an extremely respected status, but with the edict of the first emperor, it would be completely different. When we read the edict, we should not only look at the content, but also deeply understand the theme of the edict and the mind of the Son of Heaven. What is the thrust of the edict of the first emperor? It is a stable society. Everyone in the world knows that the ultimate purpose of the first emperor to solve the imperial system is to stabilize the society, but now the ultimate goal of the first emperor has not been achieved, which means that the effect of the first emperor's edict still exists. ”

"What is the other edict that the first emperor gave to the lord? Han, a big Chinese character, what is its main purpose, it is self-evident, is loyalty, loyalty to the great Han Sheji, to the first emperor, to the edict of the Son of Heaven. ”

"In the face of an eldest princess and two edicts, what choice should the lord make? Is this rope willing to be put around his neck? Obviously, the lord is willing. The lord would rather resist the decree than suppress the implementation of checks and balances on all sides. So, the Son of Heaven revised the law, publicly authorized the eldest princess to supervise the military administration of the two capitals of the seven states, and sent seven old ministers in the court to assist the eldest princess. ”

"Why were we negligent? Because we have always admitted that when today's prince and the court controlled by Dong Zhuo, we have not used real actions to fight against Dong, and we have been trying to get rid of the crisis facing the northern Xinjiang with our heads down. We are still fantasizing that in time we can use the powerful power of Northern Xinjiang to force Dong Zhuo to return to power to the Son of Heaven, so we have all neglected the eldest princess and the eldest princess's potentially huge power. ”

At this time, the lord has already turned his face with Dong Zhuo, and the eldest princess has no scruples, so she can immediately follow the edict of the first emperor, announcing that the Son of Heaven and the court have been held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and the holy decree of the Son of Heaven is Dong Zhuo's edict, which has no effect, and the edict is told to the states and counties of the world to jointly seek King Dong Qin. And the eldest princess took control of the power to act on behalf of the state and gained more power than the lord. At this point, the power of the lord in northern Xinjiang began to be restricted by the eldest princess, and his strength would be weakened step by step by the eldest princess. ”

"We can imagine what the situation in the world will be after the eldest princess raises the banner of Dong Dada? Yuan Shao is humble and powerful, and he and his alliance will not hesitate to gather under the banner of the eldest princess. The edict in Yuan Shao's hand is not worth mentioning at all compared to the prominent status of the eldest princess. Not to mention Yuan Shu and Sun Jian and others. ”

"From the perspective of the eldest princess, she also needs the two forces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to restrain and balance the power of the lord. Therefore, she will be very careful to avoid the issue of imperial domination and pull Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu under the banner of Dong Da. What should I do? If the lord no longer asks for Dong, no longer works diligently, and no longer respects the order of the eldest princess to send troops to save the community, his prestige and prestige will be gone, and his fate can be known regardless of whether he asks. ”

"My lord, you must be soberly aware that Northern Xinjiang is not the fief of your hussar general, it is not a vassal state, it is only a part of the territory of the Han Dynasty. Most of the people in this land of northern Xinjiang, including the generals in the army and the officials of the northern provinces, are basically loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven. Everyone is loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, so they obey your military orders and obey your commands. ”

"If the lord openly broke with the eldest princess, why should the lord convince the people of the northern frontier of your loyalty? How can people believe that you can stabilize northern Xinjiang and save the community? Except for some of the Hu clan and cronies who are absolutely loyal to you, how many people in the north can you get the trust and support of the people of Northern Xinjiang? The people of Northern Xinjiang don't trust you and support you, how can Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu trust you? If everyone can't gather under the same banner and can't work together, how can they please Dong Qinwang? How to save the community and save the people of the world from fire and water? ”

"You may think that the eldest princess has no army and no strength, and the lord can completely control her firmly with the strength in his hands. So let me ask, where did the chaos of the Han Dynasty come about? Is it because Yuan Shao and various prefectures and counties oppose Dong Zhuo's rule? Why can Dong Zhuo be in charge? It is because he controls the Son of Heaven. ”

"You must know that even if Dong Zhuo didn't do anything treacherous, his control of the Son of Heaven itself is a treacherous and evil act, and everyone in the world can ask for it. If the lord relies on the army to control the eldest princess, I can safely say that the northern frontier will be chaotic. Why? Han Fu of Jizhou will cut off aid to Northern Xinjiang first, Liu Yu of Qingzhou will also fight back angrily, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others will even add fuel to the fire, they will never watch another traitor Dong Zhuo arise again when a traitor Dong Zhuo has not been eliminated. ”

"Everyone knows the current situation in northern Xinjiang, although we have launched a large-scale tuntian in the two prefectures and the two capitals of northern Xinjiang, but after all, the time is relatively short, and we cannot afford to lose the source of money and grain in the Central Plains in the short term. Especially this year, we have added millions of displaced people who have migrated from the four prefectures of Henan, Yanqing, and Xu to northern Xinjiang, and the total population of northern Xinjiang has exceeded 20 million, and if at this time, the source of money and food in the Central Plains region is lost, the people will riot because of hunger, and the army of more than 200,000 will collapse because there is no ration. In this case, is the lord still capable of turning the tide? Dong Zhuo is so concerned about the benefits of China, but what about us? We only have barren secluded states and desolate deserts. The main guild had a notorious reputation for rebellion and was defeated before Dong Zhuo. ”

"If the lord is willing to be a rebel against the Han Dynasty, willing to give up the northern Xinjiang expedition everywhere, willing to join Dong Zhuo, willing to destroy the lives of the world, and willing to let the Han society overthrow, the lord can do whatever he wants, do anything. But the lord will surely rebel and die quickly in the war. The lord can look at history, without any foundation, what will happen to the rebellion of a perverse conspiracy to usurp the country with the power of one person? It's just a stench of living beings for 10,000 years. (To be continued.) )
