Chapter 414 The Emperor's Two Choices
There must be a legitimate reason for rebellion, for the sake of the Han Dynasty? In order not to retain the nobles, the Han Dynasty, which raised countless famous families?
Stop talking nonsense!
...
If the Han Dynasty was not in chaos, Dong Hu would not disturb the world. If the empire came to an end, he would never continue to move forward along the footsteps of the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties. For him, the division of feudal families and prominent families would be no different from creating some "oligarchs" forces and cultivating a group of princes who turmoil the world.
The world is not a world of one person, but only virtue occupies it. Virtue follows people's straightness, and those who follow the righteousness of the people in the world are called virtue. The excuse for rebellion can only be the four words "people in the world"!
Set an example and set an example for everyone. Only when a group of Liangzhou bastards are told what "virtue" is, will they convey positive virtues to the soldiers below, from top to bottom, from one to the crowd, and gradually change the temperament of Liangzhou people. When the temperament of Liangbing border people becomes "the people in the world are the most important", Liangbing people will not become another Qianghu who slaughtered the world, and will become a group of people guarding the border in the world.
Cai Yong's feeling was right. If the court was not in chaos, Dong Hu would not intervene too much and would let the court run. As for whether the court regarded him as a small rebel, he would not care about these things. At this time, the Han Dynasty did not have the ability to attack him.
Neither Empress Dowager He nor the eunuchs expected that Dong Zhuo would suddenly withdraw his troops at this time, and his original worries were relieved, but how many days have passed?
General He Jin, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, Situ Ding Gong, Siyuan Cao Song, Shangshu Ling Lu Zhi, Taizhong Doctor Yang Biao... Almost everyone impeached eunuchs with corruption and illegality, flattered and harmed the country, and all acted as if they were killing all eunuchs immediately. The entire palace was instantly in panic...
The status and status are different. Shanziying, and Beidiying always lie on the edge of Luoyang City and stare at her, which made Empress Dowager He, who had just left the curtain, extremely worried. But before he was happy for a few days, his elder brother was about to kill all the eunuchs in one fell swoop and cut off her wings with his own hands. How could she not be angry?
Most emperors of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at a young age and needed the empress dowager to keep the world behind the scenes. However, the empress dowager was a woman in the palace and had to assist and pass on messages to govern the world. The eunuch of the Zhongchangshi was such a person. The empress dowager issued an order, and the eunuch of the Zhongchangshi sent the imperial eunuch to the Shangshutai, and then passed the eunuch of the Shangshutai to the outside world... Therefore, the eunuch of the Zhongchangshi was extremely important.
There are all women in the palace. Without the eunuchs conveying the Queen Mother’s will, we can only use some men. Will there be rumors about "Yu Chaos the Harem"? Killing all eunuchs in the inner court is actually to make the queen mother or the emperor completely become clay sculptures. Even though He Jin is Queen He’s biological brother, that’s absolutely not possible!
After He Jin learned that Hu San had indeed left Henan County with 10,000 or 20,000 people, he changed his previous strategy. The ministers no longer paid attention to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, but instead focused all their firepower on Jian Shuo and killed the eunuchs who "threatened the throne of Liu Bian". However, the matter was very strange, but Empress Dowager He did not arrest Jian Shuo in court and punished him.
After seeing that the ministers stopped exercising themselves, their hearts became slightly more stable, but they knew that the only ones who could save their lives were the Empress Dowager He and the Emperor Liu Bian. Their original revolved towards Empress Dowager Dong and the others, and they also followed He with their bodies bent down...
After arguing for another half a day, a group of people followed He into the inner palace. Before she could sit down with Liu Bian, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others lay down and knelt on the ground.
"Hello, Queen Mother..."
"Okay!"
Before Zhang Rang could cry and beg, He waved his hand impatiently to stop him.
"As long as you serve me and Your Majesty well in the future, how could the General kill you?"
Perhaps because no one in the court today violently impeached Zhang Rang and others for his crimes, the eunuchs felt a little relieved.
"We are the Empress, Your Majesty's slave, and you will never dare to be disrespectful, let alone offend the General..."
When he heard Zhang Rang's words "Don't dare to offend the general", He frowned. Just as he was about to speak, a small eunuch hurried in.
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, General Cheqi and Cavalry to ask for your visit."
The little eunuch said to He Miao as he asked for a meeting, and He nodded silently.
"allow."
After saying that, he looked at a group of eunuchs lying on the ground.
"Your Majesty has just ascended to the great treasure. You should be careful and don't do anything in the past. If there is anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, please inform us immediately!"
Before Zhang Rang could speak, Duan Gui hurriedly walked forward.
"Don't worry, if the Empress Dowager has any trouble, the slaves will never dare to hide it. I hope the Empress Dowager will be merciful and save the slaves..."
A group of eunuchs begged again. After a few words of comfort, He drove everyone out as He Miao walked in.
"well……"
Without outsiders, He then showed some fatigue and sighed while helping Liu Bian remove the crown.
"Your Majesty, there are only my little sister and Bian'er orphan and widowed mothers left in the huge palace. Second brother, are you willing to be a loyal minister, or do you want to be a powerful minister like Huo Guang, Dou Xian, and Liang Ji? Want to let all the young and old of the He family die?"
He Miao was shocked and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground. Liu Bian, who was on the 14th Five-Year Plan, was also surprised to look at his somewhat tired mother.
"Why did the Empress Dowager say this? I..."
"The second brother doesn't have to do this. There are no outsiders here. If my younger sister doesn't treat her as a relative, she would never say such words in person."
After He said such words, He Miao's heart beat wildly.
"Over these days, Mr. Cai has told Bian'er about the history books of our court, and my younger sister has listened to it..."
"The emperors of our dynasty are as young as Bian'er. The emperor is unable to manage political affairs at such a young age. The empress dowager is behind the curtain and the Qi tribe is also good to assist the country. General Dou Xian, General Deng Qi, General Yan Xian, General Liang Ji, and Dou Wu... They are all extremely valuable for a while, but when the power is over the court and the country is also when the family is destroyed."
He Miao was frightened. After He tidied up his clothes for his son, he got up and came to He Miao's side, pulled him up...
"Dr. Cai said that being powerful in the court and the country is not the key to their death, and being arbitrarily fiddling with the emperor is the root cause of their death!"
"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo and others should be killed, but have the second brother thought about it? What if they all died, what will happen to your younger sister and Your Majesty after they are dead? What about Dou Xian, Deng Zhi, Yan Xian, Liang Ji, Dou Wu? Or is it the Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty?"
He Miao was so scared that his face was pale, and his body was about to fall to the ground when it became soft. He reached out to pull him, and his face was filled with emotion.
"Who else can my younger sister rely on except for the eldest and second brothers? But there are some things that my younger sister is not willing to see."
Cai Yong is a simple person, but such a person can feel something that others cannot feel. He can feel that Dong Buyi, from a group of generals, is more willing to fight for dominance in the world, and he can also feel that Dong Hu is different from others. He realizes that Dong Hu's attitude is actually related to the future of the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty turns to enlightenment and then revival, then the boy will only honestly lead a group of bastards to guard the border, but if the world is really in chaos...
Perhaps Old Man Cai did not want to see the Han Dynasty become history, nor did he want to see Dong Hu become a rebel. Since he ran back to Luoyang, he came to the palace if he had anything to do and explained to the young emperor Liu Bian his historical book "The Legend of the Han Dynasty" he compiled. Empress He was very willing to have such a highly respected old minister to teach his son, and often listened to the old man explaining the story of "Those things in the Han Dynasty".
The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Shangshu Ling Lu Zhi were not as diligent as Cai Yong's diligent in the palace. This old man was not afraid of others saying anything. He almost entered the palace one day. He did not talk about lyrics, music, calligraphy, etc., and just explained the story of the Han Dynasty to Liu Bian. The central idea was to treat the heroes well, as if he was worried that the little emperor would kill Dong Hu and force him to rebel.
Liu Bian was only 14th and 5th, but he was the eldest son of Emperor Liu Hong and grew up in the fierce political struggle between life and death. Logically speaking, he should be extremely precocious, but the fact is contrary to this. His younger brother Liu Xie is much more mature than him. The reason why it became like this was because of the environment. Liu Xie followed Empress Dowager Dong since childhood, while Liu Bian was a Taoist boy of the immortal Shi Zigui since childhood.
Liu Bian was raised by Shi Zi since childhood, and he had no playmates around him. He was exposed to the Taoist concept of "inaction", which directly led to his innocence and timidity. When he first met Dong Hu, the doll who fed the chicken almost cried.
Liu Bian was a little more timid, but Dong Hu was very satisfied. In his opinion, if the world is in chaos, a powerful minister will inevitably lead to a powerful minister. Although no one knows whether this powerful minister will replace him in the end, the emperor will face two choices. One is to try his best to get along with the powerful ministers, and the other is to let the powerful ministers display their talents to the fullest, and then pacify the world.
If you are chasing a leg with the powerful minister, either the powerful minister will die or the powerful minister will slash the emperor with one knife. However, no matter which result, the empire will no longer have the chance to revive, and the national destiny will be destined to end. The world is in chaos and people are in chaos. Once the powerful minister who is very capable, there will definitely be no other capable powerful minister who will be loyal to the empire, and changing dynasties is inevitable.
Give full trust to capable powerful ministers and unreserved support to powerful ministers. Although there is a half... or even higher probability to be replaced, there is also a certain probability that others will be moved by this complete trust, and then loyal to the emperor. Even if they are replaced in the end and eventually lost their heads, the historical books will record a deeper note of this merits and demerits of the "monarch and ministers".
The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important.
The world is in chaos and the people are displaced. The big reason is that the cause and effect caused by certain policies of the empire. It can give up power for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in the world, and let the world return to peace and peace. Even if it dies, even if the powerful ministers who were helped up are usurping the throne, it will be considered a perfect end to the bastards done by emperors of all dynasties, and there should be nothing to regret.
If the world is in chaos, it will not only cause the world to suffer a longer war, but will also be changed by others, and there will be no chance of revival. However, if you can fully trust a powerful minister and give unreserved support with heart and heart, even if the dynasty changes in the end, you will be destined to be a wise king in history, and you will invisibly save many displaced people.
The two choices may have no difference in the final results, but there is a huge difference in meaning.
