Chapter 109

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, how would he do the division of spoils and depose the emperor?

This problem is simple and difficult.

To put it simply, it is because even those who have only watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" three times will feel that they can answer it.

It was difficult. When Li Su personally experienced it and personally attended the celebration banquet for the celebratory ceremony of the Ten Generals in Wenmingyuan. After chatting with Dong Zhuo for a few words at the banquet, he found that there were too many mysteries that had been omitted by history.

Just say one thing: Dong Zhuo bribed Lu Bu and killed Ding Yuan. This is something that people on earth are so familiar with, right?

But have you ever thought about what the charge was when Ding Yuan was killed? No one could answer it, and history was not written.

Don't say that there is no charge. Dong Zhuo is not a beast that tramples on all the rules of the court as soon as he enters Beijing. He still wanted to cooperate with the old order at first.

After the successful deposed and established the emperor, in the first three months of Dong Zhuo's rule, in order to share the spoils and settle the interests of all parties, many provincial governors, governors, and prefects were granted? Later, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, Kong Yichang, and Zhang Miao, who later opposed Dong... were all promoted to the title during that period.

This is the manifestation of Dong Zhuo's attempt to cooperate with the current order. Then he will definitely have to cover up the crimes of killing Jinwu, even if he wants to be punished afterwards.

However, Dong Zhuo was nailed to the pillar of shame in history. He would not write those dirty and messy history books and omitted them. He could only let Li Su observe and discover them carefully again, avoid the thunder pit and escape carefully.

...

"It seems that Dong Zhuo was frightened by the changes in the situation. At this Wenmingyuan reception today, he did not dare to mention the decree and establishment. It is estimated that he would have to wait at least seven or eight days to ensure that all the subsequent troops arrived in Beijing before they dared to continue advancing.

However, when he was drinking just now, he spoke a little rudely, complaining that the emperor was weak and cowardly, and that he would not give up his determination to become abdicated."

As the banquet was about to end, Li Suru summarized his experiences and gains in his heart.

Without Ding Yuan Lu Bu's tenseness, nor Wang Yun's remarks. Not with Lu Zhi's blunt words and courage to advise, and with Cai Yong's efforts to protect Lu Zhi, everything was temporarily suppressed due to the comparison of strength and headed towards an unknown direction.

Of course, Lu Bu still came to the scene and stood at the door to escort the guards, not qualified to come in for a banquet. But Li Su was not afraid of him. After all, Lu Bu is still loyal to Ding Yuan now, and he said hello to him when he saw Li Su.

The most important thing is that Li Su also brought two people to the door of the banquet hall. Dian Wei had already brought more than 2,000 cavalry into Yique Pass this morning and stationed in the southern suburbs of the city. Dian Wei followed Zhao Yun to guard him, and Li Su was still afraid of yarn.

Today, everyone fought for a long time and saved the emperor and returned to the palace to settle down. They were tired and had nothing to say when the banquet dispersed.

The next day was August 26th, and it was the day of the court meeting. Li Su was a foreign minister and did not need to go to court. However, shortly after he got up, he heard a lot of noise outside and asked Zhao Yun to go out to check it out, saying that the Xiliang army entered the city again.

Li Su smiled slightly, knowing that Dong Zhuo had already started playing the bluff trick of leaving the city in the middle of the night and entering again at dawn.

Of course, Li Su himself would not be deceived, but it was not convenient for him to remind others. Moreover, he knew that this trick would not determine the success or failure of the deceased, but just to strengthen Dong Zhuo's authority a little.

Dong Zhuo's operation was clearly recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which is indeed true. However, it was grafted in "Romance of the Romance", which puts a causal relationship between it and "Dong Zhuo relied on this move to scare the Beijing army and successfully abolished the establishment."

But in history, Dong Zhuo took the destruction and establishment on the third day of his visit to Beijing, so how could he wait for such slow and meticulous work?

However, although Li Su ignored Dong Zhuo's deterrence, another message from the palace was surprised by Li Su when the meeting ended.

This news came to Li Su's mansion after Lu Zhi scattered the court and informed him: "Li Su, do you know that today, Ding Jianyang suggested that the rebellion of the Ten Generals had been quelled, and all the soldiers and horses in the outside town could be returned to their own town. However, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty have not yet made a conclusion lightly.

Ding Jianyang hopes that I will be angry with you. If you are willing to take the lead, I will return the command of Zilong's five hundred cavalry in the city to you today. You should bring your troops back to Hanzhong. After all, it is the latest for your troops to be summoned to Beijing by Xuan, and the procedures are not as complete as Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo, how do you wish?"

It must be said here that Li Su is indeed inferior to Dong Zhuo’s issue of “complete procedures” mentioned by Lu Zhi, because Dong Zhuo himself is a prince, his soldiers are his own, and He Jinzhao Dong Zhuo’s mission is also formal.

Li Su was in the capital only when the meeting happened. The ownership of his troops was Liu Bei, the general of the Western Expedition. He Jin could only urgently second it with power. The most important thing was that before Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he replied to the court, saying, "I asked the bell and drums to enter Luoyang to clear the rebellion." However, Li Su was not qualified to reply to the emperor's memorial.

These principles are correct in etiquette, but he still found it quite surprised: "Ding Yuan actually wants to transfer me out of the capital than Dong Zhuo? Is Ding Yuan looking for death? He isn't he afraid that Dong Zhuo will crush him even more after I leave?"

But then he thought about it, Li Su realized Ding Yuan's blind spot: Ding Yuan wanted to use the imperial court rules to be the main name. Because he arrived in Luoyang twenty days earlier than Dong Zhuo, He Jin's last bus during his lifetime was blocked by him as the Jinwu.

Therefore, although Dong Zhuo also entered Beijing, he did not get a formal official in Beijing. Ding Yuan had already changed from the governor of Bingzhou to the official in Beijing. He thought that Li Su could take the lead in setting an example and use "Not the officials in Beijing have to leave, but only the officials in Beijing can stay" to run Dong Zhuo!

As for Lu Bu's rebellion, this is only known from God's perspective. Ding Yuan could not imagine this, so he was very brave.

This is definitely the P club player playing style that "makes Li Su give up his claim, causing Dong Zhuo to lose his excuse for claiming"!

"This butterfly effect is getting worse and worse. Ding Yuan actually had the courage to think so, and he felt that everything could not be deduced. But well, I was going to get out and see how to leave more decent."

Thinking of this, Li Su finally spoke: "Since Mr. Lu advised me so, I have no objection to the general who only allowed me to have a half month holiday during his lifetime, and he stayed in the capital by accident. If I could let Dong Zhuo leave, why not? But, I wonder if the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty approved Ding Yuan's report?"

Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he saw Li Su thinking for so long, and thought Li Su had other thoughts. He quickly replied: "The report was not approved at today's court meeting. The Empress Dowager seemed to feel that the situation was not decided and dared not act rashly. Of course, you have to meet the Empress Dowager in person and take the initiative to ask for your willingness to leave Beijing, so that the Empress Dowager can go with the flow."

Li Su: "Isn't you afraid of causing trouble in this way? If the Empress Dowager was thinking about the rescue, she thought that I and Zilong were reliable, so she would keep our guards in the palace, what if she did?"

Lu Zhi: "You just say that these soldiers were originally recruited by generals in the Western Expedition. If they stayed in the capital for a long time, they would be contrary to the Ming Dynasty imperial edict in the first year of Zhongping, "ordering all directions to prepare for the imperial edict" that may cause the powerful people of the aristocratic who gathered private soldiers in the world to panic.

Now the late emperor has only been in the fourth month. The Master said, "I have not changed my father's way for three years, so I can be called filial piety." Our Han Dynasty governs the world with filial piety, so the young master will naturally not abolish the late emperor's method."

Li Su was stunned when he heard this. His ability to do things in the general principles is still very tender, and it is not worth mentioning in front of Lu Zhi.

After all, he was a minister for many years and was very experienced in how to curb the imperial power and disrupt his life. The sages said one by one in a few words and one by one. No wonder the empress dowager had so many decisions that would be retaliated against when he was in charge of the court.

The five sides had their own ulterior motives and tried to advance. In the afternoon of the same day, Li Su took the initiative to enter the palace to ask for a meeting. Of course, the reason was "I heard that someone suggested driving him away during the morning meeting, and he came to express his attitude of "willing to leave" to the Empress Dowager."

Because he saved the Empress Dowager the day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager of course readily agreed to Li Su's request for advice, and Li Su also took Zhao Yun and Dianwei with him. However, Dian Wei looked fierce and Li Su didn't want him to scare the Empress Dowager to destroy his mood, so he asked him to leave the palace gate outside in advance.

Queen Mother He really wanted to keep her. As Li Su expected, she wanted to keep them to protect the palace, and promised to be promoted to a higher position, saying that Wu Kuang, the general of the Central Army, could be added to the Central Army, and so on.

Li Su was startled and quickly said that he should not be promoted because of the lack of merit for the outside world, so as not to think that the empress dowager would be rewarded and punished. Then Li Su used the excuse of Lu Zhishuo to run.

When Empress Dowager He heard this, she sighed regretfully: "Li Qing, can you really let Dong Zhuo leave too? I heard that Dong Zhuo was extremely cruel. When she escorted His Majesty back to the palace yesterday, the chaos in the palace was not over. Later, she reported that some palace maids were taken away by the guards again... but it has not been found out yet."

Obviously, this was the case after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the lustful YU had already occurred. Although he did not dare to "stay in the dragon bed overnight, and the lustful princess/palace maids", he had already taken advantage of the chaos to kidnap some. And Empress Dowager He was already afraid of this.

Li Suyi gritted his teeth: "I try my best, but I am just a model, and I mainly look at the ministers and ministers in the court."

He said something to temporarily calm the empress dowager down, so as not to cheat him and Zhao Yun again, and finally settled the attitude of the inner palace.

Even so, Empress Dowager He finally stated that even if Zhao Yun cannot be granted the title of General of the Central Army, he would have to be given a military position and a false title.

Finally, the Empress Dowager summoned Wang Yun, who had just become the superior today, and Huang Wan, the Shaofu Mansion and his subordinate military minister, and agreed to add Zhao Yun the "Changshui Captain".

The Changshui Captain was the eight Northern Army's school during the Western Han Dynasty, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was one of the five Northern Army's school lieutenants. It was formed by the former Changshui Captain's school lieutenant absorbing the Hu Qi Captain.

Among the Northern Army's schools, the Tunqi and Yue cavalry were all southern cavalry, mainly melee combat. Hu cavalry and Changshui were mainly northern cavalry and archery cavalry. Empress Dowager He obviously learned about Zhao Yun's situation with great care and knew that he was under Liu Bei's command of 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry and cavalry cavalry for many years, so he gave him the Changshui Captain, which showed that Zhao Yun's ability to command archers and cavalry was recognized by the court.

In fact, because the Northern Army had been divided into command power by Jinwu and Zuo/Right/Hu Ben and other Central Army generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the command power was not divided directly by the military, so the Changshui Captain was only at the level of treatment and did not affect the real power of other generals. This is also one of the reasons why foreign ministers were willing to accept this additional title.

Li Su's official position was nothing to add. He was already a general of the Central Army and the prefect. Then he would be the general and the Jiuqing, so he was rewarded with gold worth ten million yuan. In addition, based on his position as a Marquis of Piting, he added three hundred fiefs (500 to eight hundred. If more than one thousand, he would usually have to be a Marquis of the Township).

After finishing the attitude of the empress dowager, Li Su's remaining job was to act twice with Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, get the benefits and get away with a flawless reputation.

Ding Yuan wants him to cooperate, he always has to pay a price, right?

Although Dong Zhuo will reduce the intensity of the claim excuse because of Li Su's withdrawal, in fact, Dong Zhuo must also hope that Li Su will leave, because Li Su knows that Dong Zhuo will play Lu Bu card to solve the Ding Yuan problem. At present, the more other armed forces go, the better.
