Han Fu pointed at Lu Zhi and said, "If you don't believe it, ask Mr. Zigan, when Taifu was appointed as a Beijing official, Mr. Zigan was clear. ”

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could Yuan Kui and himself have predicted that the great cause of Dong would evolve into today's act of bringing disaster to the country and the people?

Lu Zhi said: "Wei Kao, Yuan Fang, Gongxi, when you were buying grain in various parts of Jizhou, didn't you hear rumors about this? ”

Yuan Peng arched his hand apologetically at him and said, "I heard it, who knew it would be so serious?" Anyway, you are the pastor of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao is the Taishou of Bohai County, and what you say should always have a little weight. ”

Han Fu couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Everyone, don't forget, Yuan Shao held the 'Edict of Undertaking Preparation', and used the general of the chariot to lead state affairs and command the world. From the aspect of the Dong Alliance, he is my superior, and I have to listen to his command. When I went to Quanzhou this time, I first consulted Yuan Shao's intentions. If Yuan Shao doesn't agree, I really don't know what to do. I'm caught between the imperial court and the Dong Alliance, who do you want me to listen to? ”

The ministers were speechless.

Yuan Shao has Yuan Kui's letter in his hand, and the matter of discussing Dong is also planned by Yuan Kui, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Yuan Peng and many other ministers.

"If you don't force me today, I won't say that I can't afford to lose this person." Han Fu was so ashamed that he shook his hand again and again, "There are many county officials in Jizhou who say that I am not good, that I am mean, and I like to scold people. Think about it, I am faced with a smiling face with false affection, and I am faced with a threatening **** sentence. How can I not be mean? How can I not be angry? ”

"I have repeatedly told Uncle Weng that if this imperial court is to be built, it will be built in Jizhou, and the imperial court and the Dong Alliance will be combined into one. I am not for myself, nor for the military and political power of Jizhou, but for the great cause of saving the community. Everyone, please think about it carefully, the Quanzhou Imperial Court is now deliberately avoiding Yuan Shao. Avoid the Dong Alliance, so what will happen in the future? If the Quanzhou Imperial Court does not sit down with Yuan Shao and have a good talk, and does not resolve all the differences between the imperial court and the Dong Alliance, how can it integrate the power of the prefecture and county? ”

"For example, me, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Ding Yuan, Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang, Tao Qian, Kong Ling, who do you want us to listen to? If you listen to both, you can't do anything. If we listen to one and don't listen to the other, we offend people. The Quanzhou Imperial Court is asking for Dong, and the Dong Alliance is also asking for Dong, what should we do? ”

Liu Yu thought for a long time. Then he looked at several ministers and said, "Wenjie said well, we must consider this matter immediately and solve it as soon as possible." Now it seems that it is not Li Yi or Yuan Shao who hinders the great cause of revitalizing the society, but ourselves. We have not done a good job in the matter of courting Dong, and if we do the matter of the establishment of the dynasty in Quanzhou again, we will be the culprit of the defeat of the Han Dynasty. ”

Although Han Fu complained with affection. But Zhang Wen and Yuan Peng and others did not let him go and continued to pursue taxes. Jizhou has not paid taxes for two years. As one of the three princes of the Quanzhou court, you must always come up with something that can be seen and touched, otherwise who in the world can be convinced?

Three days later, the deliberations between the imperial court and Jizhou were settled in a heated debate between the two sides, and Jizhou was still in a state of self-isolation.

When Taifu Liu Yu and Zhang Wen saw the hussar general Li Yi, their faces were a little hot. At the beginning of the establishment of the Quanzhou Imperial Court. Li Yi can say what he wants, if it weren't for the war that needed him, I'm afraid he would have even handed over the military power. But what about the imperial court? I still haven't gotten a single money from Jizhou, I'm really sorry to think about it, I'm ashamed.

Mid-December. Changan.

The edict of the eldest princess spread all over the world. Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy when he saw this edict, and immediately summoned the generals in Beijing to celebrate with wine.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were very puzzled after hearing the news, and asked: "The lord, Liu Yu, Li Yi, Han Fu and others set up another court in Quanzhou, announcing that they would crusade against the lord and attack King Qin of Chang'an, which is not a good thing." After Li Yi gets the support of Jizhou's money and food, he will definitely be like a tiger with wings and strength, and there will be a fierce battle in Gyeonggi soon. ”

Dong Zhuo was calm, talking and laughing, and said indifferently: "Don't panic, in a few months, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other stubborn children will definitely flee from the wind, but the tiger in the north is a little troublesome, haha......"

Everyone looked at Dong Zhuo in horror and anxiety, and did not dare to speak out and persuade again.

………………

In December, Jizhou, Yecheng.

After Han Fu returned to Jizhou, he immediately received a letter from Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao said in his letter: "When today's son was not from the first emperor, the imperial system was usurped, the first emperor was humiliated, and the court was held hostage by the traitor Dong Zhuo, which was useless. Although the eldest princess built another court in Quanzhou, the country could not be without a monarch for a day. In order to eradicate the traitors as soon as possible, quell the rebellion, and revitalize the community, I and Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi and more than a dozen other state and county officials are ready to support Liu Yu, the Qingzhou pastor, as the emperor and rebuild the imperial court. I implore Brother Wenjie to take the Han Dynasty as the priority, make up his mind as soon as possible, and participate in the big move together. ”

Han Fu was shocked, uneasy in his heart, and undecided.

As early as the beginning of the year, Yuan Shao and he discussed together that if the court against Dong was successful, the imperial throne should be inherited by the vassal king. However, due to the reluctance of the hussar general Li Yi to send troops to fight Dong, the matter was immediately shelved. Now that Li Yi has sent troops to fight against Dong, and the eldest princess has also established a dynasty in Quanzhou, everything seems to be starting to get on the right track, but at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly came out, and united with other state and county officials to demand the deposition of today's son and the rebuilding of the imperial system.

Yuan Shao once again reiterated the reason why he wanted to depose the emperor and rebuild the imperial system. These reasons seem to be high-sounding on the surface, but in the final analysis, they are afraid that they will deliberately retaliate in the future and kill the entire Yuan clan and the ministers who did the incident in the first place.

Yuan Shao also listed in detail the benefits of Liu Yu's succession to the imperial throne and his ascension to the throne, but under this series of flowery words, Han Fu saw not the revitalization of the society, but the chaos and blood.

Han Fu was timid, he thought about it again and again, and couldn't make up his mind.

Several cronies and subordinates in the government also have different opinions on this matter.

Liu Gong said: "Liu Yu and the lord have been friends for many years, who he is, the lord should know very well. Liu Yu is only a clan, not a vassal king, he is not qualified to inherit the imperial lineage at all, and it is impossible for him to agree to be the emperor. Yuan Shao's move obviously had ulterior motives. ”

Han Fu asked, "What does Yuan Shao want to do?" ”

"He wants to control the eldest princess and the Quanzhou court." "Now no matter whether the lord agrees to this matter or not, Yuan Shao and the officials of Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu and other prefectures and counties will send envoys to Quanzhou to demand that Liu Yu be supported as emperor." My lord, think about it, after this incident, can Liu Yu still stay in charge of the DPRK? He will definitely leave Quanzhou. ”

"After Liu Yu left Quanzhou, the successor to Liu Yu must be you, the lord. In other words, everyone will think that all this is manipulated by the lord behind his back, and the lord wants to monopolize the power of the Quanzhou court. After this rumor spreads, can the lord still go to Quanzhou to govern? In order to show his innocence, the lord had to give up. And then what? Then the prefectures and counties would recommend Yuan Shao to the Quanzhou court to govern. ”

"That's where the problem comes in. The hussar general needs food and salary to fight Dong Zhuo, and he will definitely be able to accept the lord to take charge of Quanzhou, but Yuan Shao can't. What qualifications does Yuan Shao have to govern in Quanzhou? He's just a Taishou of Bohai County. As a result, the Quanzhou court became a hussar general. If the hussar general is in charge, no one in the state and county of the world will be willing to obey, including you, the lord. In this way, good things become bad things, and the social system is even more chaotic. Is the lord willing to watch the society overthrow? ”

Therefore, the lord did not need to hesitate, and directly made his attitude clear to the Quanzhou court. The rise and fall of Jizhou Relations Society, of course, the authority of the state should be in the hands of the lord. ”

Han Fu's heart fluttered. If he can control the Northern Frontier Imperial Court, doesn't that mean that he has a chance to take down the powerful army in Northern Frontier?

………………

In December, Nanyang.

After the snow, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen led the army to slowly retreat. Sun Jian took the opportunity to leave Luyang and chased him all the way to Liangcheng in Yin, Henan, where he confronted Xu Rongjun on both sides of the Rushui River.

At this time, the scout came to report, and Dong Zhuo led the army out of the customs to help. Seeing the big fluttering on the other side of the river, Sun Jian was worried about the plan, and hurriedly led the army to retreat to Luyang.

After arriving in Luyang, Sun Jian received an urgent letter from Kong Ling, saying that Dong Zhuo personally led the army to support Hu Zhen, and tens of thousands of troops stormed Yangzhai City, but he could not hold it, and had retreated to Yingyin City.

Yang Zhai City was lost, Sun Jian's right flank was immediately unprotected, and the army was attacked on both sides, and the situation was critical. Just when he was considering whether to support Kong Ling or withdraw to Wancheng to join Yuan Shu, Kong Ling was in a hurry again. Zhang Fei, the general of Pingyu, suddenly appeared under Yingyin City, and the Northern Frontier Army inflicted heavy losses on Hu Zhen and killed Li Meng. Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Yangzhai City.

Sun Jian was overjoyed and immediately wrote to Yuan Shu, asking him to quickly lead the army north to join and attack Luoyang. Yuan Shu's army is now partly in Wancheng, and part of it is led by Ji Ling and Qiao Rui to chase Dong Yue and Li Su, and there are no troops to adjust, so he immediately sent a letter to Xiangyang Liu Biao and asked him to send troops north to attack Luoyang.

Yuan Shu never forgot Jingzhou, and anyone could see this bit of his thoughts.

Liu Biao replied: "The Beiyu Rebellion in Nanjun has not yet been pacified, Su Dai and Cao Yin in Changsha and Wuling counties are still fighting, and the Jingzhou army is temporarily unable to go north to attack Luoyang. I think that Jingzhou's immediate priority at the moment is to quickly quell the rebellion, stabilize the county, and then do everything in its power to provide food and wages to the army of the highway brothers and the kings of the various roads. ”

Liu Biao said at the back of the letter: "After Brother Highway led the army of Dong to capture Luoyang, he made outstanding achievements and will be able to enter the court as a public." This Nanyang Taishou will naturally not serve as a concurrently anymore, so should Nanyang return it to Jingzhou as soon as possible? (To be continued.) )
