Rebirth Wei Yan

Chapter 299 Chaos in Chang'an

Although the war-torn second year of Chuping (191) has passed, in this war-torn era, princes are fighting for hegemony and local separatism is happening every moment. Just when the heroes of Guandong are watching with eager eyes, the imperial court in Chang'an City

There are also dark clouds and undercurrents!

After Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, his power became even greater. He stole the emperor's carriages and uniforms, and ordered all the officials below the minister to report to the prime minister's house if they had sons. He also made his younger brother Dong Wen the general of the left, his son Dong Huang the minister, and the middle minister.

Military academy captains were all trained in military affairs. Their clans were granted great titles. All the infants of the Dong family were granted the title. All men were granted the title of marquis, and women were made kings of the towns. A shed was built in Chang'an (today's northeast of Mei County, Shaanxi Province). It was seven feet tall and seven feet thick.

, of which the accumulated grain can be used for thirty years. Dong Zhuo was also cruel and easy to kill. If the generals made a slight mistake in their words, they would be executed immediately. He also massacred the old tribes in Guanzhong in the name of rebellion. His rebellious behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

The struggle to conquer Dong Zhuo did not stop because of the retreat of the Kwantung Allied Forces with Yuan Shao as the general leader. Even when the Kwantung princes were fighting in the Central Plains, there were endless assassinations of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an City.

Among them, Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, hated Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior and vowed to kill Dong Zhuo himself. One day, Wu Fu came to see Dong Zhuo while hiding a sword. After the conversation, Wu Fu said goodbye and left. Dong Zhuo got up and went out to meet Dong Zhuo.

He sent him off, patting Wu Fu's back gently with his hand, showing an extremely friendly look. Wu Fu saw the opportunity, whipped out his saber and stabbed Dong Zhuo. Due to his eagerness to kill, he used too much force and missed the critical point of Dong Zhuo.

Frightened, he hurriedly fought back and called the guards to rescue him, and then he was out of danger. During the struggle with the guards, Wu Fu was outnumbered and stabbed to death by random swords. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo scolded Wu Fu for harboring evil intentions and not being benevolent and righteous.

.

In April of the third year of Chuping (192), Situ Wang Yun, Shangshu Pushe Shi Sun Rui and Dong Zhuo's close confidant Lu Bu jointly conspired to kill Dong Zhuo. Before that, Wang Yun successively conspired with Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye, Zhi Jinwu

Scholar Sun Rui and others discussed the matter of killing Dong Zhuo many times.

Wang Yun, Shisun Rui and Yang Zan once again secretly discussed the matter of deposing Dong Zhuo in the name of worshiping gods on stage. Shisun Rui said: "Since the end of last year, the sun has not shined and the rain has continued for more than sixty days. We have

This period that is detrimental to the country and the people should end as soon as possible. Now, the time is great, we can take advantage of the world to boil and take proactive measures to eliminate the culprits!"

Shisun Rui wanted to remind Wang Yun that he could take advantage of the right time, place and people to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun agreed with Shisun Rui's opinion, but considering that Dong Zhuo was usually heavily guarded and he was very powerful, if careful measures were not taken, it might not be easy.

Succeeded. So, Wang Yun found Dong Zhuo's close confidant Lu Bu as an insider.

Lü Bu was young and brave, with outstanding military strength. At first, Dong Zhuo loved and trusted him deeply, adopted him as his adopted son, and promoted him to the position of Cavalry Captain. Later, Dong Zhuo moved Lü Bu to the position of Zhonglang General and named him Dutinghou.

Dong Zhuo regarded Lv Bu as his personal bodyguard. No matter where Dong Zhuo went, Lv Bu was always with him and was responsible for protecting Dong Zhuo's life and safety.

Once, Lu Bu accidentally offended Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he took out his sword and halberd and threw it at Lu Bu. Fortunately, Lu Bu survived. At that time, Lu Bu did not directly contradict Dong Zhuo, but immediately apologized to him, and Dong Zhuo stopped talking.

After investigating, I never took this matter to heart in the future.[

However, Lu Bu harbored a personal grudge from then on. Although Diao Chan had already married Wei Yan, the romantic Lu Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's maid, which made him very uneasy. Wang Yun told Lu Bu the plan to kill Dong Zhuo and asked him to act as an internal agent.

At first, Lu Bu disagreed. He said: "But (him and I) are like father and son!" Wang Yun enlightened and said: "Your surname is Lu and his surname is Dong. They are not related by flesh and blood. Besides, Dong Zhuo is now available to everyone and killed."

Do you still recognize him as your father? When he throws knives and halberds at you, do you treat you as your son?" However, this Lu Bu is also a cold-blooded person, and he even killed his adopted father before.

Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang had a criminal record. Under Wang Yun's urging, Lu Bu finally agreed.

When everything was ready, just as the emperor was recovering from a serious illness, all the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China gathered in Weiyang Hall to congratulate the emperor on his recovery. Lu Bu took this opportunity to arrange in advance for Li Su, the captain of the cavalry in the same county, and others to lead more than ten relatives.

The soldiers put on the uniforms of guards and hid on both sides of the side door of the palace. As soon as Dong Zhuo arrived at the side door, he was attacked by Li Su and others. Dong Zhuo was horrified and hurriedly called for help from Lu Bu. Lu Bu sat upright and shouted: "We are filing an imperial edict to challenge

Kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, and you will deserve to die!" Although Dong Zhuo resisted in despair, it was in vain and he was killed on the spot, and the three clans were also executed.

When Dong Zhuo was killed, the whole court rejoiced. Dong Zhuo's actions that harmed the country and the people aroused extreme hatred from people all over the world. Eradicating Dong Zhuo not only conformed to the trend of the times, but also conformed to the people of the world. Its significance was not just to murder Dong Zhuo, a traitor to the country.

, and also profoundly affected the historical process of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Wang Yun, Situ, won the victory in the struggle to eradicate Dong Zhuo and was praised by the world with his sincerity and integrity to the court. After Dong Zhuo was killed, Wang Yun "recorded the affairs of the minister and general

In charge of government affairs, he sent envoy Zhang Zhong to appease Shandong."

As the chief contributor to the killing of national traitors, Wang Yun was naturally indispensable for the imperial court's praise and the praise of the people. Then, Wang Yun's attitude began to change, and he seemed to be a little happy: "Even an arrogant traitor like Dong Zhuo died because of me.

"My subordinates, what else do I have to fear?" He treated everyone and everything without caring, and even took credit for himself. "Whenever he met, he lacked warmth, kept his staff upright, and did not follow expediency.

Therefore, the subordinates are not very attached to it." Whenever the ministers gathered together, Wang Yun rarely discussed expedient solutions with everyone as he did before. Instead, he sat upright with a cheerful look on his face. Slowly, the ministers

I no longer admire and support him as before.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun was very careless in how to arrange and deal with his old subordinates. This was the most important and direct reason for Wang Yun's final demise.

He first wanted to pardon all Dong Zhuo's men, but then he explained to the officials: "Originally, they were not guilty, but they could not help themselves and followed Dong Zhuo, so they had no choice but to follow Dong Zhuo's orders and made a mistake. Now if they suddenly

Adding the charge of evil and rebelliousness and specifically pardoning them may only make them suspicious and fearful, and make them psychologically unbearable. Therefore, pardoning their sins is not the best way to make them feel at ease. It is better to let them suffer punishment."

However, the Liangzhou soldiers were Dong Zhuo's direct troops, with strong combat effectiveness and the most loyal to Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, how to deal with the Liangzhou soldiers was a major matter related to Wang Yun himself and the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wang Yun attempted to deprive the Liangzhou soldiers of their military power.

Banned all the Liangzhou soldiers and planned to use the Kwantung soldiers to control them. But later someone said to Wang Yun: "The Liangzhou soldiers have always been afraid of Yuan Shao and the Kwantung soldiers. Now, if the Kwantung soldiers are sent to disband them, everyone in the Liangzhou soldiers will fear for their lives."

Otherwise, it will easily lead to mutiny and chaos. It is better to appoint Huangfu Song (characterized by Yizhen) as a general to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou soldiers, and let him stay there for a long time to appease the morale of the army." Wang Yun firmly objected: "

This is absolutely not possible. The Kwantung soldiers are volunteers who oppose Dong Zhuo and are on the same route as us. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, if they continue to be stationed in a dangerous place, although the Liangzhou soldiers will be appeased, the Kwantung soldiers will be suspicious of us.

Pay attention to them."

After the people of Liangzhou heard the news that Wang Yun wanted to disband the Liangzhou soldiers, they spread rumors everywhere that Wang Yun wanted to kill all the people in Liangzhou. For a while, the people in Liangzhou were panicked and panicked. The generals of the Liangzhou soldiers had already become

The frightened birds were deeply worried about their future. When they learned that Wang Yun was going to deprive them of their military power and disband the Liangzhou soldiers, they were even more panicked.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was killed and Niu Fu also died. Wang Yun liquidated Dong Zhuo's remaining party. At that time, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were uneasy and planned to flee separately. Jia Xu stepped forward to stop them and said: "I heard that there is a discussion going on in Chang'an City.

We plan to kill all the people in Liangzhou, but if you abandon your subordinates and go alone, a pavilion chief can catch you. Why not lead the troops to the west, gather soldiers along the way, and then attack Chang'an to avenge Dong Gong. If you are lucky,

If the land succeeds, obey the country's (order) and conquer the world. If you fail to succeed, it will not be too late to escape." This plan was adopted by everyone. The desperate Liangzhou soldiers thought: It is better to die happily anyway. So they quickly gathered the army

, be prepared to take action when the opportunity arises.

Then Li Jue, Guo Si and others gathered all the Liangzhou soldiers and marched to the capital Chang'an. So Li Jue and others spread rumors that "Wang Yun wants to cleanse the people here" and said everywhere: "If the court does not pardon us, we should

Fight to the death. If you capture Chang'an, you can gain the world; if you cannot capture it, then you can rob the women and property of the third assistant and return to your hometown in the west, and you can still save your life." His subordinates responded one after another, so they formed an alliance with Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others, and led several armies.

Thousands of people marched day and night to attack Chang'an. By the time they reached Chang'an City, more than 100,000 people had gathered.

After Wang Yun heard about it, he sent Dong Zhuo's old generals Hu Zhen and Xu Rong to attack Li Jue and Guo Si in Xinfeng. As a result, Xu Rong died in the battle and Hu Zhen led his troops to surrender. Li Jue, Fan Chou, Li Meng and others besieged Chang'an City because the city defense was strong.

The attack failed. Later, the rebel soldiers in the city led the Liangzhou army into the city and started a street fight with the defender Lu Bu. Lu Bu was defeated and fled with only a hundred cavalry. Li Jue and others led their troops to plunder, leaving more than 10,000 dead among the officials and civilians, and the corpses were piled up

Man Dao. Taichang Zhongfo, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen Colonel Cui Lie, Yueqi Colonel Wang Qi and others were killed.

When Lü Bu hurriedly led his troops to flee, he stopped at Qingsuo Gate and asked Wang Yun to escape with him. Wang Yun flatly refused and said to Lü Bu: "If the emperor's ancestors have spirits in heaven and can bless the country and protect our country's peace,

I am satisfied. If this wish cannot be realized, I am willing to sacrifice my life and die to serve the court. The emperor is young and has many things to do, so he can only rely on us to assist him. The country has suffered such a disaster. If we abandon the emperor,

I really can't bear to just run for my own life. Besides, as the prime minister, not only can I not make the country safe, but I can also lead to the rebellion of the traitors. I have a heavy responsibility! Please encourage the heroes of Guandong after you leave the city, and always read

To the Emperor!" After saying this, he supported Emperor Xian and fled to the Xuanping Tower.

Li Jue and Guo Bin chased him to Xuanping's door and kowtowed. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took courage and asked, "What are you planning to do by following the king's law and causing chaos in the capital?" Li Jue replied, "Master Dong is loyal to your majesty.

But we were killed for this reason. We just want to seek justice for the Grand Master and do not dare to rebel. Once the murderer is caught and executed, we are willing to accept the trial." Without saying a word, Wang Yun paid the final courtesy to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and then left.

The soldiers walked down the tower, and Li Jue and Guo Si ordered their men to execute Wang Yun on the spot.

Later, Li Jue and others marched to Yemen of Nangong to intimidate Emperor Xian. They named Li Jue General Yangwu, Guo Si General Yanglie, and Fan Chou General Zhonglang. Li Jue also killed Huang Wan, the captain of Si Di, and Fengyi Zuo.

Song Yi, You Fufeng, Wang Hong and others. For a time, there was bloodshed in the capital and chaos between the government and the public.

In September of the third year of Chuping (192), Li Jue was granted the title of general of chariots and cavalry, opened the mansion, and was appointed as the commander of Sili Xiaowei. He was appointed Marquis of Chiyang and Guo Si as the rear general, Marquis of Meiyang and Fan Chou.

General on the right, Marquis of Wannian. Zhang Ji was named General of Zhendong, Marquis of Pingyang, and stationed in Hongnong. Jia Xu was named Zuo Fengyi. Since then, Chang'an and the government have been in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si!
