Yuan Shu sneered and said to Kuai Yue, who came to deliver the letter: "Liu Jingsheng is threatening me. If I don't agree, won't he give me food? ”
Kuai Yue said: "After General Yuan, the post of general will also lead Nanyang Taishou, who is this holy decree?" Could it be that General Yuan honored Dong Zhuo and the Chang'an court? Dong Zhuo is ****, and he has a blood feud with General Yuan, and the Chang'an court is Dong Zhuo's court, and General Yuan also obeys such a holy decree? Since General Yuan regards Dong Zhuo as a ****, this holy decree of the Chang'an Imperial Court has no effect, that is to say, General Yuan is still a rear general, not Nanyang Taishou. ”
Yuan Shu was speechless.
Kuai Yue also said: "Jingzhou is in turmoil, how can my father-in-law ensure the continuous supply of food? If General Yuan wants to successfully capture Chang'an, my lord must first stabilize the counties of Jingzhou. ”
………………
The first month of the second year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (191 AD).
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Son of Heaven granted amnesty to the world.
………………
At the beginning of the first month, Nanyang, Wancheng.
The eldest princess set up a court in Quanzhou, and told the world that King Qin asked for Dong's edict and sent it to Nanyang.
The letters of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, and Dongjun Wang Qiu were also sent to Yuan Shu at the same time. In Liu Dai's letter, there is also a handwritten letter from Yuan Shao.
The content of the four letters is the same, all of which persuade Yuan Shu to join them in supporting Liu Yu as emperor and reviving the Han Dynasty.
Li Ye, Yang Hong, Xun Zheng, and Yan Xiang were very shocked.
Li Yechang sighed: "The great opportunity to revitalize the community was buried like this. ”
"Who would have thought. Quanzhou Chaoyan became an ornament in a blink of an eye. Xun Zheng also smiled bitterly, "After Dong Zhuo knows, he can live in Guanzhong from now on and sit back and relax." ”
Yuan Shu laughed and said: "Yuan Benchu and Han Wenjie deceived people too much, and they brought about their own death. Can you control Northern Xinjiang with Jizhou? What a joke. However, this way. Here's our chance. ”
"The lord is determined to come together with the Northern Frontier?" Yan Xiang asked worriedly, "...... in the future?"
"We'll talk about the future later." Yuan Shu said with a smile, "As long as I have Jingzhou, I will have peace of mind." ”
"So what do we do now? Or do you advocate a temporary fight against the military customs? Yang Hong asked. Yuan Shao's move may anger Liu Yu and Li Yi, and if Northern Xinjiang and Jizhou fight hard, the Battle of Luoyang will not be fought. ”
"It is difficult for us to accurately predict how the Quanzhou Imperial Court and Northern Xinjiang will react to this dispute, so we can only take one step at a time." Yuan Shu said, "As long as Jingzhou and Yuzhou are firmly grasped. We can be invincible if we advance or retreat. With money, food, and an army, no matter what happens, we can calmly deal with it. ”
Yuan Shu said in his letter to Yuan Shao: "Today's son is wise and wise, with outstanding qualifications, and is a peerless genius. The thief Dong Zhuo took advantage of the national crisis to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and control the imperial court. It's just the bad luck of my big man and a little one. You said that the Son of Heaven was not born by the first emperor and has no royal blood. This is pure slander, and it is a great rebellion that should be punished with capital punishment. You say that my whole family has been killed and I can no longer be a vassal to such an emperor, this is even more nonsense. Who killed our kin? It's Dong Zhuo. It's not the Son of Heaven who is a year of calamity. Are you blind? I Yuan Shu is loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty, I respect the Son of Today, I am full of sincerity, I only know now that I want to be diligent to the king and Dong, and to revitalize the community. I don't know anything else. If you want to rebuild the imperial system, you should do it alone, don't affect our Yuan family, ruin the reputation of our Yuan family, and insult the ancestors and ancestors of our Yuan family. ”
………………
In the middle of the first month, Quanzhou.
Zhang Qi, Minister of State of Anping, Shi Liu Gong, Governor of Jizhou, Xu Yu and Feng Ji of Bohai County, and officials from other prefectures and counties, a total of 17 people, braved the wind and snow to rush to Quanzhou. On behalf of the officials of various states and counties, they jointly submitted a petition to demand the deposition of the current son, the re-establishment of the imperial system, and the formal establishment of the dynasty.
When the eldest princess heard the news, she was shocked, and immediately sent a copy of the edict to Hedong with an 800-mile fast horse, and urged Li Yi, the hussar general who was exterminating the white wave thieves in Hedong, to return to the court quickly. Chen Ji of the Eldest Princess's Mansion quickly commanded the Tiger Ben Guards to surround the Taifu Mansion.
Taifu Liu Yu said angrily: "If today's son is in trouble, the traitor is in trouble for the country, and the society is in danger, you and other state and county officials do not want to serve the country, but instead plan this kind of counterplot to tarnish my reputation, what is the reason?" ”
Zhang Wen and other court officials beat their chests and paused, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The defeat of Sheji is imminent, and it is beyond human power to recover." ”
The old ministers never expected that the Quanzhou Imperial Court would collapse more than a month after its establishment, but what they didn't expect was that the culprit was none other than the scholars themselves.
The hussar general's mansion Kou Zhun urgently reported to Li Yi that the Quanzhou court had suffered a sudden change, and implored the lord to immediately order the recovery of all military and political power in northern Xinjiang to minimize the losses in northern Xinjiang.
The three governments discussed collegially, and Kou Zhun suggested that the Quanzhou Imperial Court make every effort to solve the crisis of imperial unity, and the Taifu Mansion would no longer deal with state affairs for the time being, and all government affairs of the Taifu Mansion would be temporarily handed over to the Hussar General's Mansion for the time being.
Kou Zhun asked the eldest princess to immediately rush to Jinyang with an 800-mile fast horse, and ordered Xu Da, the general of Fenwei, to immediately lead an army of 8,000 to the south, Chen Binghuguan, to guard against changes in Jizhou. Then he issued an order to Sun Zhan, the rebellious general and the prime minister of Hejian State, ordering him to immediately lead 20,000 cavalry and prepare to attack the three counties of Julu, Anping and Bohai in the south.
Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan and other old ministers resolutely opposed the use of large armies to threaten Jizhou.
Kou Zhun roared: "How can you not kill such a traitor who is a traitor to the country? ”
The eldest princess was in a dilemma and at a loss.
Lu Zhi faced the excited Kou Zhun and tried his best to dissuade him. The purpose of establishing the Quanzhou Imperial Court was to restrain the power of all parties, prevent the prefectures and counties from supporting their own troops, and integrate the forces of the prefectures and counties to the greatest extent, so as to Qin Wang, fight Dong, quell the rebellion, and save the society. Therefore, no matter what major events happen, we must start from this purpose and do everything possible to resolve the crisis and maintain the supreme authority of the eldest princess and the imperial court.
This time, the states and counties supported Liu Yu as the emperor, causing a crisis of imperial unity, and it seems that the situation of the Han Dynasty is very grim, and the imperial court is on the verge of collapse, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not a big deal.
The reason why Han Fu and Yuan Shao and other state and county officials did this was nothing more than that they were unwilling to be suppressed and wanted to get more power from the Quanzhou court. Their original intention was to save the society, to make the court more stable and authoritative, not to destroy the court. If the community is gone, what do they get? They don't understand such a simple truth?
Therefore, the solution to this crisis of imperial control is not to use force to forcibly subdue the prefectures and counties, but to redistribute power. As long as the power of all parties in the court is balanced, and all parties can get the maximum benefit from the revitalization of the society, the crisis will naturally subside. The threat of force will not solve the crisis, but will only force the prefectures and counties to support themselves and turn against the imperial court, triggering confrontation between the two sides and provoking war, which not only accelerates the outbreak of the crisis, but also has the hidden worry of destroying the imperial court and the society.
Kou Zhun sneered and unceremoniously refuted Lu Zhi.
Kou Zhun said: "The Quanzhou Imperial Court was established because my lord and Northern Xinjiang made huge concessions. You are all old ministers in the court, and you should know that the balance of power in the court has reached the extreme, and there is no possibility of adjusting it again. At the beginning, the old ministers brought from Chang'an to build the dynasty strategy, which was planned by many ministers together, and many of the key issues have been carefully scrutinized by them, and they are the result of their careful consideration, which is almost impeccable. With the prestige of Taifu Liu Yu and the force of my lord as the main structure of the imperial court, this main structure is very strong and strong because of the relationship between Liu Yu and my lord. And it is precisely because of this strong main structure and the possibility of rapid revitalization of Duji that all states and counties will respond positively and gather one after another. ”
"The failure of the Dong Alliance is because there is no strong main structure, and Yuan Shao's own strength is insufficient. Although he used Yuan's intertwined relationship to win over a number of prefectures and counties, and he also had the edict in his hand, he didn't really have much power. This is also the reason why you old ministers despise Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance, and do not consider them as a force in the distribution of power. The power of the state and county is a plate of loose sand, which can only be attached to the main framework, and gradually condenses to form a joint force under the control of the main structure. ”
"Now the prefectures and counties are dissatisfied with their power being deprived by the imperial court, so in the name of rebuilding the imperial system, they threaten the imperial court to redistribute power, in a vain attempt to use the power of the prefectures and counties as the main structure of the imperial court."
"Liu Yu is innocent, he is just a victim, a victim of the power struggle of the imperial court. Rationally and legally, he was no longer qualified to hold authority. If the eldest princess sympathized with his plight and forgave him for his crimes, Liu Yu would be very lucky. After Liu Yu leaves the imperial court, who should fill the power of the prime minister? According to Mr. Zigan, if you want to redistribute power, it will naturally be Han Fu. Han Fu acted as the prime minister, and Yuan Shao could become one of the three princes and be in charge of the Imperial History Mansion. In this way, the main structure of the imperial court became the power of the prefectures and counties, in other words, the control of the imperial court by Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance.
Yuan Shao easily controlled the Quanzhou court, and although the old ministers in the court were unwilling, they were barely acceptable. The purpose of the old ministers Lu Zhi has already made it very clear, as long as he can save Sheji, any sacrifice is okay, and it is okay to sacrifice Liu Yu.
Kou Zhun waved his hands and shouted angrily: "You ran to the north of Xinjiang empty-handed, you are setting up a dynasty and taking power, you have taken everything you should take, of course you don't care about any sacrifices, of course you can bear it." But we can't bear it, we can't bear it in northern Xinjiang, and my lord can't bear it. Today you can sacrifice Taifu and the interests of Qingzhou, tomorrow you can sacrifice the hussar generals, sacrifice the interests of Northern Xinjiang, and in the future you can sacrifice the Son of Heaven and the interests of the Han Sheji. In the long run, what else can you not sacrifice? (To be continued.) )
