Chen Lin braved the cold and rushed to Quanzhou day and night.

The sudden change in Yuan Shao's attitude made the eldest princess and the ministers of the court and the central government feel incredible. Could it be that the contradiction between Yuan Shao and Han Fu has intensified, and it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible? As soon as the crisis of imperial control passed, Yuan Shao and Liu Dai and other state and county officials targeted Jizhou Mu Hanfu. Could it be that there is some greater trick behind this?

The ministers were silent, and the proposal to move south was immediately abandoned. Ma Riyan and Yuan Peng and other ministers did not dare to say anything about moving south to Jizhou. The affairs in Jizhou are becoming more and more complicated, which makes people's hearts beat. In this case, if the imperial court is moved to Jizhou, there is a good chance that it will once again fall into a greater whirlpool of power struggle. The weak imperial court is in danger of ruin at any time.

Yuan Shao swore an oath in the recital, and said a lot of words loyal to the eldest princess and the court. But the facts of the past year have clearly told the ministers that Yuan Shao's words are not credible. Yuan Shao's purpose was very simple, he wanted to overthrow Han Fu and monopolize the military and political power in Jizhou. Then take Jizhou to threaten the imperial court and northern Xinjiang. Now it seems that the re-establishment of the imperial system was only the beginning of Yuan Shao's seizure of military and political power in Jizhou, and the imperial court, Liu Yu and Han Fu all became victims, all of whom were used by Yuan Shao.

The battle for imperial dominance seems to be a struggle for power between the imperial court and Jizhou. But in fact, behind it is the competition between Yuan Shao and Han Fu for Jizhou. Yuan Shao obviously felt the threat to his power and survival from the imperial court and Han Fu, so he pushed Han Fu to the opposite side of the eldest princess and the imperial court in the name of rebuilding the imperial system, and then suddenly turned against him to help the eldest princess and the imperial court deal with Han Fu, so as to seize the military and political power of Jizhou.

Zhang Wen shook his head and said regretfully: "If the imperial court moves to Jizhou, it will soon replace the Dong Alliance and become Yuan Shao's tool to control the world." I don't understand, since Yuan Shao keeps saying that he wants to please Dong and revitalize the society, why does he still do this? Isn't this the opposite, making the world more and more chaotic? Could it be that Yuan Shao can revitalize the community today? If he uses this talent to save the community, why won't Dong Zhuo die? Why is the society not happy? What the hell is this guy going to do? ”

The reason why Yuan Shao did this was that he did not believe in the general's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and second, he was worried that the Son of Heaven would be held accountable after King Qin's success. So he always wanted to monopolize power and insisted on rebuilding the imperial system. Lu Zhi sighed, "Today's disaster actually comes from the mistake of Taifu Yuan Kui at the beginning. ”

"When Taifu Yuan Kui planned to discuss Dong, we all participated, and everyone should remember that Yuan Kui did not mention King Hongnong at that time, did not mention the edict of the undertaking system, and did not mention the rebuilding of the imperial system. Although it was a bit reluctant to raise troops to fight Dong with that copy of the Three Princes' documents, we thought that with the edict of the eldest princess and the first emperor, the hussar general should not hesitate to go south to King Qin. However, things changed dramatically later, first there was an edict of inheritance, and then King Hongnong was almost killed, these things were not in our original planning, obviously, Yuan Kui changed his strategy to discuss Dong. ”

"We don't know why he changed his policy to deal with Dong, but the appearance of this edict and the almost death of King Hongnong directly led to the battle for the imperial throne. Is it to support the current son or to rebuild the imperial system? For Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance, only by rebuilding the imperial system, otherwise, they will slap themselves in the mouth, not only laughing at the world, but also being killed cleanly in the future. It was precisely because of the dispute over the imperial throne that the hussar general took the lead at both ends of the action to win against Dong, but only took 6,000 men and horses to go through the motions, and did not really contribute at all, and the plan to win against Dong immediately failed completely. ”

"If Yuan Kui hadn't changed the established strategy of courting Dong, Yuan Shao hadn't gotten the edict of the undertaker, and the Han Dynasty hadn't had a dispute over the imperial system, Dong Zhuo might have been defeated and returned to Western Xinjiang long ago. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even now, if there is no battle for the emperor, Yuan Shao and some state and county officials will not insist on and respect the court of today's son, everyone can give each other a step and rejuvenate the country. ”

"Who would have thought that Taifu Yuan Kui's small mistake would bury the disaster of overthrowing the Han Dynasty." Lu Zhi held up Yuan Shao's recital and said bitterly, "Yuan Shao's recital tells us a cruel truth, as long as the son is alive today, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and some state and county officials are our enemies, the war will not stop, and Sheji will be devastated." We must abandon those unrealistic illusions some time ago, thinking that Han Fu, Yuan Shao and some state and county officials will give up the battle for imperial control and respect the son of today. ”

"No, they're not going to give up, we were wrong." Lu Zhi was extremely sad in his heart, and tears suddenly soaked his eyes, "We were wrong, we just need to kill them all and kill them all, otherwise, King Qin will not succeed, and it will be impossible for Sheji to revitalize." We were really wrong. ”

The eldest princess's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Zhi blankly, very frightened.

Zhang Wen and other ministers couldn't accept such a fact for a while, and they all looked stunned and dumbfounded.

"Kill them all? Zigan, when is this going to be killed? We want to fight King Dong Qin, put down the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, and kill the rebellion of the state and county, when will this be fought? If this continues, Sheji will be in ruins. Cai Yong lamented weakly, "Zigan, did you miscalculate?" ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Do you remember the conspiracy and rebellion of Wang Fen of Jizhou Assassin Shi Yingli King of Hefei?" A few years ago, some people wanted to rebel and want to usurp the Han dynasty and stand on their own, not to mention the current troubled times. As long as they are strong and have enough strength to resist the imperial court, they can rebuild the imperial system and do whatever they want under the banner of saving Sheji. ”

"Today they can support Liu Yu, they can kill the ministers, it can be said that the Son of Heaven is not from the first emperor, it can be said that Dong Zhuo is a rebel and a traitor, tomorrow they can support the vassal king, they can slaughter hundreds of officials, it can be said that the eldest princess is not from the first emperor, it can be said that we are rebellious and traitors to the troubled Han. Don't fantasize anymore, take advantage of their lack of strength, kill them immediately, and leave no one behind. ”

There was a dead silence in the big tent, and Lu Zhi's words shocked them too much.

Yuan Shao's killing of the four ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee was already a heinous crime, but today Lu Zhi said that he would kill Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials who were fighting against the Dong Alliance, which made them unacceptable no matter what. This is not the revitalization of the community, this is the destruction of the community.

"Zigan, is there no other way? For example, kill the first evil ......," Cai Yong asked in a low voice.

"No, the situation is here. Except for Northern Xinjiang and Qingzhou, we have no ministers and troops that we can trust. But the current situation of Northern Xinjiang and Qingzhou is also here, although we have loyal ministers and brave soldiers, but we are so poor that we can't even afford to fight. Lu Zhi sighed, "At present, it seems that it will take a long time for both King Qin and the revitalization of Sheji. ”

"With the strength of northern Xinjiang, if you go west to seek Dong, you need money and food support, and you are seriously constrained by Jizhou and other prefectures and counties in the east. If you crusade to the east to defeat the rebellion, you will not only be constrained by money and food, but also seriously threatened by the millions of Yellow Turban Army and Dong Zhuo behind you. If we simply abandon northern Xinjiang and go south with all our might, and we are again opposed by the people from top to bottom in northern Xinjiang, if it is unfavorable to go south in the future, the rear will collapse again, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"In this case, the only way to do this is to strengthen the northern frontier first. When Northern Xinjiang is strong, it can sweep Liuhe and unify the country. If Northern Xinjiang wants to be strong, it must find a foundation rich in money and food. The east of northern Xinjiang is Jizhou, the front is Gyeonggi, and the west is Guanzhong. ”

"But now Guanzhong is occupied by Dong Zhuo, although the hussar general has hit the Xiliang army heavily last year, but Dong Zhuo still has nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, and the danger of occupying the pass is not able to be defeated in the short term. Even if it is defeated, it will still suffer from the rebellion in the western Xinjiang in the future, so Guanzhong will give up. The land of Jizhou in Hebei Province is the foundation of the Guangwu Emperor Zhongxing Han, and the money and grain are very rich, but it is now controlled by Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and there are the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro in the north, and many princes in the south, and there will be wars in the next few years. If northern Xinjiang is forcibly captured, hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops will be fighting in the land of Hebei, and Sheji may be completely finished. We can't take this risk, so Jizhou gave up. ”

"In the end, only Gyeonggi remained. The hussar general has already conquered Luoyang, and if we go further and completely occupy the two counties of Hongnong and Yin in Henan, we can unite northern Xinjiang with Jing and Henan. As long as we have the money and grain in these two places, especially the money and grain in the two counties of Namyang and Yeongcheon, which are close to Gyeonggi, we can grow rapidly. A year or two later, we will go east, and we can unite with Liu Yu of Qingzhou to attack Han Fu and Yuan Shao; To the west, you can attack Guanzhong, and King Qin asks for Dong; To the south, you can attack Yuan Shu and Kong Ling. After a few years of such conquest, the community will surely be able to revitalize. ”

Lu Zhi's words were refuted by Ma Riyan, Yuan Peng, and Chen Ji.

Yuan Peng said: "No, if you continue to fight like this according to what Zigan said, the society will be finished long ago." ”

Ma Riyan also said: "If Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others can truly respect today's son, why can't the Son of Heaven pardon them?" ”

Chen Ji also echoed: "As Gongxi and Uncle Weng said, after all, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other ministers are also here to please Dong and the Han Society." ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "What do you mean by saying this now? Northern Xinjiang is not strong, the imperial court is not strong, it is useless to say anything. If the northern frontier falls, and Yuan Shao dominates the world, he wants to depose the son of today and rebuild the imperial system, what should you do? Did you commit suicide in front of the mausoleum of the first emperor to apologize? ”

Looking at the speechless Yuan and the three, Lu Zhi said: "Only when the northern Xinjiang is strong, the imperial court is powerful in the world, and the Son of Heaven has returned to Beijing to govern, what you say will have an effect." The Son of Heaven said that if they don't kill, they won't die, what use do we say? You said to Yuan Shao that the Son of Heaven would not kill you, did he believe it? (To be continued.) )
