Chapter 457 The Pride of the Emperor
Outside Yong'an Palace, when Cai Yong spoke out to leave, he felt a little disappointed, which meant... even the temperament of a good man was unwilling to coexist with their Liangzhou army.
When he said that the Dong family married his daughter as a queen, he was actually persuading Dong Zhuo to play this game according to the political rules of the Han Dynasty. Although he did not think that the wealthy families would really regard the Dong family in Lintao, or the Liangzhou group as their own, he knew that even if Dong Zhuo became a member of the deep sex, it would still be a usurpation from others. But this was an attempt after all, trying to integrate into the wealthy families and trying to play games in the rules of the Han Dynasty.
I knew that the wealthy families of aristocratic families would not accommodate the Dong family, but he still had fantasies and hoped that the wealthy families of aristocratic families could integrate with the Dong family for the sake of stability in the world. But when Cai Yong noticed his intentions, he actually spoke up and left...
He left, even if he was unwilling to be with the Dong family, it completely shattered his fantasy. Now, when he spoke to give Liu Bian a chance to be the emperor again, He family, Liu Yan, and Tang Ji all showed eagerness, desire, greed, desire... and also made him depressed, lost, and irritable...
"Bang!"
He raised his hand and fell heavily.
"As long as the internal and external courts fight together, you should know that no matter whether your uncle is in Henan County or not, there will be no difference in the result. If there must be a difference, it is that the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation of Duke replaced General He Jin and his uncle Dong Zhuo."
"Your mother protects the eunuch, and the eunuch killed He Jin, which caused this disaster..."
Dong Hu looked up at Liu Bian with his little head raised. For him, Liu Bian was too young. His big hands could almost completely cover his head. Looking at his begging, he longed...
"We haven't seen it with our own eyes, but we think that the outer court... or the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three dukes used thirty-six strategies, such as leaning against the general's house with a low posture and hiding a knife in the smile, secretly crossing Chencang, such as leveraging the general's prestige to grow and grow, such as catching fish in the muddy waters with the general's prestige, such as letting the general fight against the eunuchs, such as squeezing Ding Yuan when your mother was unwilling to kill the eunuchs, and privately mobilizing Ding Yuan, Qiao Mao threatened Luoyang to shock the snake, scaring your mother abandoned the eunuchs, and frightened the eunuchs to make murderous moves, such as eunuch Jian Shuo, Empress Dowager Dong, General He Jin, General He Jin, General Cavalry Dong Chong, General He Miao, and the ten regular attendants all died, only the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei's rebel... and so on."
"There are too many conspiracies and tricks inside, and they are intertwined and difficult to distinguish. If there were no accidents, the Yuan family, which had four generations and three dukes, would have controlled the Shangshutai and the military power controlled by the general, and the military and political power would definitely fall into the hands of the Yuan family. The only omission is the uncle."
Dong Hu said disdainfully: "No matter how deep the scheming is, it cannot stop the table lifting with a knife."
...
"Bang."
...
"The Yuan family won because your mother protected the eunuchs, and the Yuan family was the main force in killing the eunuchs, so they naturally wanted to kill your mother. Only in this way, the Yuan family is a legal loyal minister in history books, and it will completely put an end to this matter."
"At the same time, you are fourteen years old this year and are about to become an adult to govern the government. Your adulthood will hinder the direct control of the Yuan family... the same is true for the Dong family, so you will be deposed."
"As for why my uncle killed you..."
"That's because you who have been ruined has become an excuse for others to rebel."
"For the power of the Dong family, to eradicate the justice of the eunuch party, or to make the stability of the world, you will die no matter which reason."
...
"Bang."
...
"We say this just to tell you that whether your mother wins, General He Jin wins, or the military and political power falls into the hands of the Yuan family and the Dong family, the final result has not changed at all. The only difference... it is just who wins in the end!"
"But you have to know that no matter who wins, your situation will not be different from your mother. You will live in this house, and the final result will be a glass of poisonous wine."
...
"When we were in Ji County, when we received our uncle's letter, we knew that this would be the result, but we didn't want our uncle to depose you or kill your mother. The big reason is that once the emperor was abolished, he would give others the excuse of rebelling and self-reliance... Of course, even if you were not deposed, they would become kings. At the moment when Liu Yan proposed to the prefecture, it was inevitable that he would become kings. You just need to look at it and know that we were commanding 200,000 troops, but the court could not do anything. Why?"
"Because the court has no money and food!"
"Similarly, the governors of each state have their own troops and the court cannot do anything to them. It is a matter of time before the world is in chaos."
"In the eyes of politicians, there is no difference between good and bad, only the pros and cons! There are pros and cons of abolishing emperors. For uncle and Yuan Wei, there are many benefits. You are fourteen years old and don't understand some great principles, but you should also be able to see that from the 28th to the 30th, the decree was confirmed in just three days. On the first day of September, there were dozens of civil and military officials in the hall. However, only Lu Zhi strongly opposed it. You should know that deposing you is a good thing for everyone, otherwise... there would be no situation where everyone shut up."
"Destroying you will benefit everyone. This is just a pro and cons of power, but it is a fire that stimulates the world's immediate chaos. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others who escaped from Luoyang will all rebel on this matter..."
"Bang."
Guyuan
"Whether the princes in the world rebel or not, for us, these things are just a matter of time. However, the Dong family has no foundation in Luoyang, especially the army has no foundation. We are military generals, so we want to stabilize and postpone the war a little by one or two years later."
"Save you and your mother, there will definitely be countless officials in the court who object. As for why they object... we have explained enough, think about it yourself!"
"We are not afraid of others' opposition. It's amazing to cut them all to death. Another group of people in the court will be replaced. For us, fame, prestige, benevolence, loyalty and so on are bullshits. The only thing that can stabilize everything is the knife in our hands. If anyone refuses to accept it, cut off anyone's head. Kill everyone in the court to kill them. If a group of people is replaced, the Dong family, which has no foundation, will gain a foothold in the Sili School Commander's Department. As for whether other states rebelled... it's all."
"Want any rebellion, and they dare not rebel until they fight!"
Listening to his words, everyone was inexplicably frightened. After knowing that after he said such words, it means that the Han Dynasty will no longer be the Han Dynasty. Even if the throne of Liu Bian is retained, it will still be just a puppet. The purpose of his "not abolishing the emperor" is not loyalty, but for the foundation of the army, and for the army to gain a foothold in Luoyang.
No one spoke, Liu Yan was even a little afraid and was a little far away from him, as if he was just a piece of thousand-year-old ice...
"Bang."
"After saying so much, you should know that no matter who becomes a powerful minister, you will not have a second result. Your ability is not enough to bear the weight of the country. Liu Xie is still very young. Even if he is not young, we will never be loyal to him. Once he is loyal..."
"We will die!"
"Bang!"
"The Liu clan is strong and does not allow any powerful ministers to coexist with it. There are few generals who die in bed in old age. The reason why we are willing to tell you this is because you are different from Liu Xie. You grew up in the family of Shi Zi and Taoist Shi, and you are less involved in power and tricks. Although you are a little cowardly, you are still kind and able to tolerate others. You must say that the Han Dynasty can treat meritorious officials well, besides Emperor Guangwu, you are probably the only one."
"Cause and effect, good causes can only lead to good results. Your childhood growth environment is good, but the environment you are in is bad. If there are too many bad causes, you will fall to this point."
Dong Hu stretched out his big hand and rubbed his head.
"I just told you, your mother, your uncle, Yuan Wei...even uncle, you are the current person who is in power, but uncle is a little different from them. The Liangbian elite in our hands is 200,000. After my uncle took office, he had to consider our attitude. He would hesitate when dealing with you and your mother. But you should also know that my Liangzhou Yipin joined your mother's disciple ten years ago, or in your name... But you have not given the support of my Liangzhou generals. Not only did they not support me, but they often pulled their legs and suppressed them like others, so that the soldiers were extremely repulsive to you, and this was a bad fate."
"If you give Dong Buyi's support from the beginning and gain the favor of the soldiers in the army, your uncle will not be able to ignore the attitude of the 200,000 Liang and the soldiers. Your original destined result will change."
Looking at the young man with tears in his eyes, Dong Hu sighed in his heart...
"Ninety-eight out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, but they can talk to others. Sometimes, people have to learn to face cruel reality."
...
"The 'clean king' thing will happen again next year. The last time I was the clean king and the eunuchs, and the next year I would definitely kill my uncle, in your name, so... Once they rebel, we will take you with you. Whether those princes are willing to stop the war or not, we will give you a choice. You can choose to be a free and easy King Hongnong, or you can go overseas in the future and be a true king."
"Whether King Hongnong or the king of a country overseas, you can do whatever you want. As for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty... don't think about it. This is not a matter of whether anyone is willing or not, but that everyone does not want it. If you don't believe it, you will understand with us next year."
Looking at Liu Bian with tears in his eyes, Dong Hu rubbed his little head hard.
"If you should eat, drink, play with you... If you want to take your wife out to appreciate the snow, let Sizhong accompany you, but you have to make sure that no matter who you are in front of, it is King Hongnong, and you can no longer regard yourself as the emperor."
"The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important."
"As the emperor of the empire, all the people are like their own children. The ragged children save money to support their parents. As parents... they cannot let their children eat and wear a good meal, nor can they endure the suffering of war."
"The facts have been decided, you have abdicated. People with unpredictable minds will use you as an excuse to rebel and use your name to gain benefits. This will cause countless people to suffer from war, and countless people will be displaced, their wives and children..."
"War is inevitable, war will surely occur in the coming year, and it is inevitable that people will be displaced, but this cannot be because of you."
"As an emperor, even if he has only been an emperor for one day, he must take on the responsibility of an emperor. This is the pride that an emperor should have!"
"Remember?"
...
"Um."
