Emperor Liu Hong was too arrogant. Since the first year of Zhongping, it was extremely difficult to be able to successfully serve as the three dukes for one and a half years. But even so, Yuan Wei was extremely confident. He was confident that as long as the Yuan family could control everything, he would be able to suppress the sudden rise of Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu and his uncle and nephew.

The first generation of Yuan family members was Yuan An. After three generations of emperors, Emperor Ming, Emperor Zhang, and Emperor He, he served as Henan Yin, Taipu, Sikong and Situ. He was known for his uprightness and strictness. Emperor He Liu Zhao ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Dou ruled behind the curtain, and general Dou Xian wanted to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Situ Yuan An, Sikong Renwei, Taiwei Song You and the nine ministers in the court all opposed it. Yuan An took off his official hat and fought with the Empress Dowager more than ten times. Although he could not stop Dou Xian from attacking the Xiongnu in the end, Dou Xian attacked the Xiongnu four times, forcing the Northern Xiongnu to move west...

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, they fought with the Huns. After the Huns split into the northern and southern Huns, the Northern Huns still went south to invade the Han from time to time. Since the reign of Emperor Zhang of Han, there has been a court proposal for the Northern Huns to attack the Huns, and Yuan An was also a member of strong opposition. Logically speaking, the Huns always invaded the Han Dynasty, and only if one side fell completely, the war would stop. After ten years of rest and recuperation during Emperor Zhang of Han's reign, the Northern Huns were nothing, but there are three facts that cannot be ignored.

One is that after the Huns split into the North and South Huns, the Huns were already on the decline. Once the Northern Huns were killed, there would inevitably be another powerful grassland force in the grassland to replace it. Which side should be replaced? Southern Huns? Xianbei people? For the Han Dynasty, the Northern Huns, Southern Huns, and Xianbei people had the most favorable thing to fight and have equal strength. Just as Dong Hu led Dongbu Yicong, Meiji Shanyuting, and Danhanshan Xianbei fighting each other, and no one could defeat each other, it was the most favorable for the Han Dynasty. Which side was strong will suppress which side, and which side was weak will support which side. Only when each other's melee consumed strength was the most in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty. Just as Dou Xian attacked the Huns four times in the north, sterilizing the Northern Huns, forcing the Northern Huns to move westward, and also created another powerful Xianbei grassland overlord.

The second is the collapse of the Han Dynasty. It was only sixty years since Emperor Guangwu of Han Liu Xiu ascended the throne to Emperor Zhang of Han. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and the empire experienced a great chaos in the world. Although Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Zhang all wanted to restore the economy, the Han Dynasty at this time was not the Han Dynasty when it was established at the beginning. There were too many wealthy families. It was true that Liu Xiu was kind to treat meritorious generals well, but he did not regain the financial power from the wealthy families. On the contrary, because of the merger of Shaofu, Grand Secretary, and Shuiheng Duwei, all the wealth that belonged to the royal family was lost. Even if the three emperors rested for 60 years, the collapsed imperial finance did not relieve, recover, and grow too much.

The third one was a relative of the Dou family. Dou Xian's northern expedition to the Huns was not for the country and the people, but for controlling the army and taking control of the power of the world. Wang Mang used his relatives to usurp the Han Dynasty. In the past few decades, the major families were unwilling to use this to control the military power of the Han Dynasty.

In a word, Situ Yuan An dared to lead the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to fight against the Dou family, and the Yuan family successfully became the leader of the ministers in the world, and his prestige among the major families was unparalleled.

After Yuan An's death, Dou Xian, who became a general, was in power for a while and even wanted to abolish Emperor He of Han. Zheng Zhong, the Zhongchangshi, joined forces with Situ Ding Hong, and killed Dou Xian's subordinates in one fell swoop, forcing Dou Xian to hand over the power of troops. In the end, Dou Xian and his brothers all committed suicide by taking poison. Zheng Zhongchangshi became a great Changqiu for his merits, and the eunuchs appeared on the stage of history.

Emperor He of Han was the biological mother of Liang instead of Empress Dowager Dou. After Empress Dowager Dou died of illness, Emperor He of Han rehabilitated the Liang family and reused the Liang family, thus becoming the later relative of Liang family...

The Yuan family originated in Yuan'an. Because of the confrontation with the Dou family's relatives, he became the leader of the ministers. After his death, his son Yuan Chang inherited his ambition. Because his father confronted the Dou family, after Emperor He of Han eliminated the Dou family, Yuan Chang also had a prosperous official career and achieved the position of Situ. After Emperor He of Han's death, his empress Deng successfully became the queen mother. He deposed the eldest son and appointed the young emperor Liu Long, less than one year old, ascended the throne. Soon after, Liu Long died young and died of illness, and he also appointed Liu Hu, the son of Liu Qing, the king of Hexiao, Qing, as emperor, and Emperor An of Han.

Emperor An of Han was unable to govern the government at a young age. Empress Dowager Deng and his brother Deng Qi joined forces with Zheng Zhong, and the Secretary of Shang Ling Cai Lun ruled behind the curtain. As Emperor An of Han gradually grew older, he gradually became dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Deng Qi and the General Deng Qi. The Qingliu scholars and officials were not satisfied with the eunuchs and relatives in power. Yuan Chang and some people wanted to kill Deng Qi in one fell swoop. However, the situation was not secret. His son leaked the news while drinking with the Secretary of Shang Zhang Jun, and Yuan Chang was forced to commit suicide.

Yuan An's other son Yuan Jing became the prefect of Shu County and gave birth to a son Yuan Tang. Emperor An of Han killed his relative Deng family. After his death, the Empress Dowager Yan ruled the country behind the curtain and established Liu Yi, the son of Liu Shou, the son of Liu Shou, Jibei Huiwang, as the emperor. However, Liu Yi died of illness after he ascended the throne for more than half a year, and was the young emperor.

Liu Yi died of illness, the Empress Dowager Yan, the General of the Carriage and Cavalry, the General of the Central Constable Jiang Jing, and Fan Feng did not die in secret. The General of the Central Constable Sun Cheng, Zhang Xian, Meng Shu, and Ma Guo launched a palace coup to welcome Liu Bao, the son of Emperor An of Han, as the emperor, namely Emperor Shun of Han. After Emperor Shun of Han, his empress Liang Jing ruled behind the curtain, which opened the era of General Liang Ji. Emperor Chong of Han reigned for two years and died of illness for only three years. The eight-year-old Emperor Zhi of Han Liu Zhang was only one year old and was poisoned by General Liang Ji. Later, Emperor Huan of Han Liu Zhi ascended the throne...

Yuan An confronted the general Dou Xian, and his son Yuan Chang even participated in the coup to overthrow the general Deng Qi. Although the other son Yuan Jing was far away from Luoyang politics, Yuan Jing's son Yuan Tang (Yuan Feng, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Wei's father, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's grandfather) with the ascension of Emperor Shun Liu Bao, the Yuan family (Yuan An, Yuan Chang's father and son) who fought tenaciously with relatives of the foreign affairs were highly valued. Yuan Tang's career was also stable, and he served as Sikong, Situ, Taiwei, and the three dukes of the Han Dynasty let him take turns to do it. However, after Emperor Shun of Han Liu Bao passed away, the Han Dynasty welcomed another powerful foreign affairs of the Liang family.

What to do? Yuan Tang continued to fight with General Liang Ji, but he failed to fight against General Liang Ji, and was eventually removed from all official positions and died of illness several years later at home.

After Yuan Tang did not fight Liang Ji and was removed from all official positions, the powerful Liang Ji was killed by Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, the Central Changshi Shan Chao, Ju Yuan, Tang Heng, Zuo Wei, and Xu Huang several years later. Because Liu Zhi personally experienced the domineering of Liang Ji and because the Yuan family liked to fight with relatives of foreign affairs, after Liang Ji's death, Yuan Tang's son Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei also entered the court politics again, but at this time the politics was different from Yuan An, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, and Yuan Tang's grandparents and grandchildren. After Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi killed Liang Ji, this person personally experienced the twenty years when Liang Ji colluded with civil and military affairs of the foreign court. He hated the three words "general" and did not trust the civil and military affairs of the foreign court, and turned to trust the eunuchs in the inner court. From this time, the power of the eunuchs jumped beyond that of the powerful generals in the court, and also opened the party and foul era.

Yuan An, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, and Yuan Tang's grandparents and grandsons fought with relatives for decades. Among the Qingliu officials and literati, they also created the powerful Yuan family in Runan. However, after Emperor Huan of Han Liu Zhi killed Liang Ji, and after the emperor's confidant eunuchs and started the party and fining era, the political struggle in the Han Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, from the original battle between imperial power and general's relatives to fierce fighting between the internal and external courts, and it was also the battle between the internal court eunuchs and the civil and military officials of the outside court supported by the emperor.

Yuan An, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, Yuan Tang, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren fought with the generals of the foreign relatives and were fighting each other. No matter what the purpose was for, the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren were invisible on the side of the emperor and the imperial power. Because of this relationship, no matter how the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren failed in the end, once the emperor took over the imperial power, once the emperor fell down the imperial relatives and generals, the Yuan family could always rise again and gain reuse again. However, after Emperor Huan of Han Liu Zhi killed the general Liang Ji, the party and the foul changed all this. The emperor stood behind the eunuchs in the inner court, that is, the emperor and the eunuchs were tied together. Who else would the Yuan family fight with?

Fighting with eunuchs and fighting against each other? That means standing opposite to Emperor Liu Zhi, you will be killed by the party! At this time, the emergence of a central eunuch named "Yuan She" solved the difficulties of the three brothers Yuan Feng, Yuan Cheng and Yuan Wei. Since then, the Yuan family has transformed into a "wall" family between the inner palace and the outer court during the two generations of emperors, Liu Zhi, and Liu Hong of Han Ling.

During the three generations of Yuan'an, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, and Yuan Tang, the Yuan family was famous for their "righteousness" and was always the leader in the Qingliu. However, the Yuan family now protects themselves because of the "party corruption", and they are inevitably criticized among the Qingliu officials. Not only that, even some people within the Yuan family are extremely dissatisfied. For example, Yuan Wei's nephew Yuan Hong was extremely dissatisfied and would rather be a hermit than Yuan Wei recommend it.

Even during the "Sili School Wei Yangqiu Incident", Yuan Hong was also on the list of Qingliu Party arrested by the court. Of course, the Yuan family was similar to the Cao Cao family at that time. Even if Cao Cao killed the uncle of the Zhongchang Shi Jian Shuo, the eunuchs in the inner palace were mediated by Cao Teng, and Jian Shuo's uncle died. Similarly, under Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei's low attitude, the eunuchs in the inner court turned a blind eye to Yuan Hong, and the matter was left alone.

In order to protect themselves under the Party and corruption, the Yuan family chose the role of "fenceman". However, Yuan Wei was not willing to do so. Can Yuan Wei, who is as smart as a ghost, not know about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao privately made friends with Qingliu Party members to help Qingliu Party members avoid arrest? But he still turned a blind eye and even helped in private.

Yuan Wei wanted to restore the honor and prestige of the Yuan family in "Yuan An, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, Yuan Tang's grandparents and grandchildren". After the Yellow Turban Army rebelled in the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Liu Hong completely ended the party and shackles against the Qingliu Party members, and Yuan Wei quickly separated from the inner court. But after all, the Yuan family tarnished the reputation of the Yuan family in the role of "fenceman". How could it wash away the shame that they suffered over the years?

There is only one way to completely kill the entire eunuch in the inner court!

Only by becoming the vanguard of killing the eunuchs in the inner court can we restore the reputation of the Yuan family at that time of "Yuan An, Yuan Chang, Yuan Jing, Yuan Tang's grandparents and grandchildren" can we make the Yuan family a pure-flowing official, the leader among literati, and the leader among the officials in the world!

Yuan Wei was extremely confident. Since the Yuan An era, he has experienced the great generals Dou Xian, Deng Qi, Yan Xian, Liang Ji, and Dou Wu’s strong relatives. Which of these five generals is not as powerful as He Jin and Dong Zhuo? But what in the end? They are all dead and destroyed? So what if Yuan Wei agreed to Dong Zhuo’s position as “Sikong”?
