Seeing Xun Zhen, Cheng Jia learned more about "Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor".

Dong Zhuo had long wanted to abolish Liu Bian and establish Liu Xie as the emperor, but he had not been able to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang before, and was obstructed by powerful Luoyang factions such as Yuan Shao and famous officials in the court such as Lu Zhi, so it was too late. Failed to implement it. Now Yuan Shao has fled to Jizhou, and Lu Zhi has also been removed from office by him. He has also fled from Luoyang, and has retreated to Shanggu County. It was Taifu Yuan Wei, but Yuan Wei did not stop him, but he did not stop him, but he agreed to his plan to abolish the emperor. Because of this, Dong Zhuo was able to succeed the other day. Liu Bian was abolished and Liu Xie was established as the new emperor.

On the day when the emperor was abolished, it was Yuan Wei who came forward personally as his master and took off the seal worn by Liu Bian, the young emperor, and presented it to Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu. Later, Liu Xie became emperor and Liu Bian was abolished. King Hongnong, Yuan Wei helped Liu Bian down the hall, and made a minister to Liu Xienan, who had ascended the throne.

Liu Bian's biological mother, the Empress Dowager He, was present, choked with tears, and she wondered if she regretted not following He Jin's advice that day and failing to execute the eunuch, but instead caused He Jin and He Miao to die, and there was no more powerful force. The foreign aid from the DPRK and China made Dong Zhuo take advantage of it to enter the capital, and even with the appearance of this sad situation today, whether she regrets it or not, there is no regret medicine in this world, but it is useless.

According to the Han family code system, the Empress Dowager lived in Changqiu Palace or Changle Palace. When Emperor Ling, her mother lived in Jiade Palace, also known as Yongle Palace. On the spot, he ordered the empress dowager to move to Yong'an on the grounds that "the empress dowager He once forced her mother-in-law, the empress dowager Dong Tai, to make her worry and die, which violated the ritual system of daughter-in-law filial piety to her mother-in-law". Gong, that is to say, let her move out of her original residence, and the place for her to live is not the place where the queen mother should live, which is equivalent to abolishing her position as queen mother.

After the completion of this series of things, Dong Zhuo, in accordance with the custom of the new emperor ascending the throne, announced an amnesty for the world and changed the Yuan to Yonghan. This is the third time this year that the Yuan has been changed. The first time was the Young Emperor Liu Bendeng. At the time of the foundation, the sixth year of Zhongping was changed to the first year of Guangxi, and last month, that is, in August, it was changed to Zhaoning. Now that the new emperor has ascended the foundation, the era has been changed again.

"The name of the era has been changed four times a year. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a state of turmoil!"

In the hall, Yao Sheng sighed.

"From Situ Yuan An to the present, Taifu Yuan Hui IV, the third prince, who was rich in the favor of the Han family, but succumbed to Dong Zhuo, actually made the matter of abolition happen. It's really hateful! It's really shameful!"

The person who spoke was Yuan Sui, the county chief.

The so-called hateful is that Yuan Hui is submissive to Dong Zhuo; the so-called shameful, probably because he is ashamed to have the same surname as Yuan Hui.

"Fortunately, the Yuan family in Runan has the brothers Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong, who stand firm in their righteousness and fight against Dong Zhuo. They would rather flee to Ji and Jing, but refuse to follow. It can save some face for the Yuan family."

The person who answered the question was Qin Song, the county official.

Xi Zhicai sat by the side without speaking, and gestured to Xun Zhen with his eyes.

Xun Zhen knew what he meant, and listened to Yuan Sui and the others discussing a few more words, and said, "Dong Zhuo is disobedient, abolishing the emperor's affairs, right and wrong. In the county, inside and outside the barracks, the order was passed, and all the ministries were alerted. The ministers were the chief officials of the county. At this time, they should not be in the county palace, but should go out and go down to the counties to appease the officials and people of the counties, so as to avoid the local life. chaos."

When the new emperor and the old emperor take over, not only will there be chaos in the court, but there may also be chaos in the local counties. Confucian scholars and scholars are very likely to gather in the crowd to discuss. If someone who is upright and violent raises his arm, maybe there will be scholars and scholars gathered in the county temple, and even the county government, asking for their opinions. In short "Be careful not to make a big mistake", Yuan Sui, Qin Song and others, as the officials of the county, should not stay in the county at this time, but should go to each county to appease the officials and the people and avoid the appearance of This situation.

After receiving the order, Yuan Sui and others saluted each other, and then retreated from the lobby to go to the various counties.

Xi Zhicai, Yao Sheng and Cheng Jia, who had just returned, were left in the hall.

The rest of the people present are their own people, and they can speak freely.

Cheng Jia's excitement was well concealed, and he said, "Just now, the director of Yuan said that Taifu Yuan Hui was in a state of grace, but he actually submitted to Dong Zhuo, which is shameful and shameful. Qin Song also said that he was fortunate to have brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Sticking to righteousness and saving face for the Yuan family a few times." He sighed, "Neither Yuan nor Qin Erjun could see the suffering of Mrs. Yuan!"

Yao Sheng asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's right, it was because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers fled from Luoyang that Yuan Hui had to cooperate with Dong Zhuo."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were determined not to cooperate with Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang. Although their names were spread all over the world, they were supported by many scholars and county magistrates, but Yuan Hui was still in Luoyang, and he was one of the officials in the court. First of all, if he does not cooperate with Dong Zhuo, then it is obvious that Dong Zhuo will definitely think that he wants to echo with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, both inside and outside, to defeat Dong together. The Yuan Shao brothers, who are supported by many state and county officials, are an extremely powerful force, and even Dong Zhuo would be very afraid. In this way, one can imagine the fate of Yuan Hui, who is as light as Lu Zhi. He will be forced by Dong Zhuo by force and forced to resign from the post of Taifu. In the worst case, his life will not be saved, and even dozens of Yuan family relatives who are still in Luoyang will be killed.

Xi Zhicai said: "More than that, Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonggong attacked the North Palace before, so that the emperor was forced to flee under the hold of the eunuchs, so the general of the chariot and cavalry He Miao died because of this, let alone Yuan Benchu. The brothers have fled Luoyang now, even if they didn't flee, and even if Dong Zhuo didn't go to Beijing, I'm afraid Mrs. Yuan would have done the same thing sooner or later."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's remarks, Cheng Jia and Yao Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Zhicai said is very true."

What is the most taboo thing about being an emperor or a son of a bitch? It is the servant who committed the crime. Courtiers offend the dignity of the royal family and challenge the authority of the royal family. This is unacceptable to any emperor. After Yuan Shao was cornered by the eunuchs, in order to save his life, he had to lead troops to wash the North Palace with blood, which forced the emperor to flee. This is not only to offend the dignity of the royal family and challenge the authority of the royal family, it is already endangering the life of the emperor. For those who attacked Yuan Shao and the Yuan clan in Runan, there was only one way for Yuan Shao to save his wealth and his life, and that was to be a minister of power, find an opportunity to abolish the emperor, namely Liu Bian, and then Build a new emperor.

Therefore, whether it is said before or now, it seems that the Yuan Shao brothers were cornered, but in fact the entire Runan Yuan clan was also cornered by the Yuan Shao brothers. For the sake of the clan, Yuan Hui could only cooperate with Dong Zhuo.

There are also capable people around Dong Zhuo. For example, Jia Xu, his highly-used adviser and his native from the same state, is a first-class wise man. Jia Xu must have seen this. That's probably why Dong Zhuo handed over the plan of abolishing the emperor to Yuan Wei in a grand manner, and Yuan Wei, as expected by him, or Jia Xu and other advisers, tacitly agreed to this matter.

Xun Zhen asked, "Zhicai, you just signaled me to withdraw Yuan and Qin Zhujun, but do you have anything to say?"

"Duke Ming, the emperor is the eldest son of the first emperor, without any loss of virtue, but he was deposed by Dong Zhuo as the king of Hongnong. As soon as this happened, there would be an uproar in the sea. According to my expectation, Yuan Benchu ​​will raise troops to fight against Dong soon! At most Ten days later, he will definitely have a letter coming.... Duke Ming, everything in the county must be hurried!"

Yao Sheng, Cheng Jia and others agreed.

Xun Zhen pondered and said, "All the things that I have decided before are already being implemented, but these things, such as planting fields and smothering thieves, cannot be rushed. Even if I want to hurry, there is no way to catch them... "What do you mean, Zhicai?"

"Exactly, all matters such as fielding, suppressing thieves, diplomacy, and setting up the county must be done step by step, and cannot be achieved overnight. In the final analysis, the only two things that are most important for those who raise troops to conquer, one is food, and the other is soldiers. Come on now. Said, Yuan Benchu ​​was afraid that the army was about to start, so for Duke Ming, although the matters of gathering fields and suppressing thieves were not urgent, the two matters of food and soldiers should be urgent."

Xun Zhen nodded.

"Guangling is short of grain, and it is definitely not possible to rely on Guangling alone for the matter of 'grain'. Didn't Duke Ming intend to ask Yuzhou to borrow grain after he raised his army? In my humble opinion, this matter can be started earlier. "

"Okay, I will immediately send an order to Yulang, ordering him to rush back to Yingchuan with a light cavalry, contact the clan, meet Wen Qian, and secretly discuss the matter of borrowing food."

In the future, when the army is raised against Dong, the governor of Yuzhou will be Kong Yu, and he is also one of the princes in various ways. It was done by Huang Wan.

Although Huang Wan is also a famous person in the world, he was a member of the party and was imprisoned for more than 20 years, but Huang Wan still does not know about Yuan Shao's attack on the director, and Xun Zhen also knows that he will soon leave Yuzhou. Then there is no need to go to him about "asking about food in Yuzhou", so Xun Zhen did not say that Xin Ai should return to Yuzhou to meet Huang Wan.

Similarly, for the sake of confidentiality, Xun Zhen did not say to let Xin Ai go to Yingchuan to meet his old colleagues and acquaintances, but only said that Xin Ai should return to Yingchuan to contact the elders of the Xun clan and the Xin clan, and meet Lei. Enter.

With the influence of Xun and Xin in Yingchuan, and the influence of Lejin in the prefecture, as long as we can discuss these three aspects secretly, then add Xun Zhen himself in Yingchuan, Runan, etc. Due to the influence of the land, after his troops arrived in Yingchuan in the future, it would not be difficult to ask Yingchuan and Yuzhou to borrow grain.

"As for 'soldiers', the Duke of Ming's command now has only 4,000 cavalry cavalry. Although they are all brave, the thousands of them are far from enough to use Dong Zhi in the future. I heard that Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others are currently in Chenliu. , Taishan and other places are all large to receive disciples, organize troops to train soldiers, and receive baggage, and now that Yuan Benchu ​​will be suing Dong, in my humble opinion, it seems that Duke Ming no longer needs to cover up, and he can start recruiting troops in large numbers."

Zhang Miao has arrived at Chen Liu to take up the post, and Bao Xin is in his hometown of Mount Tai. He began to recruit Zhuang Yong, and now he has recruited more than 10,000 disciples.

When Xun Zhen first arrived in Guangling, he had a quarrel with Tao Qian~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then because Guangling was short of food, and then in order to have a stable rear when he was negotiating with Dong, he focused on controlling Guangling, but he never paid attention to it. Recruiting troops, now that Dong Zhuo has abolished the emperor, Yuan Shao may soon raise troops. At this time, even if the food is insufficient, and even if Guangling has not been completely controlled, he must start to recruit troops.

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Danyang will send elite troops. I have long wanted to send people to Danyang to call for troops, but it was limited to the situation and I have not been able to do it. As Zhicai said, at this time, it really cannot be delayed any longer. Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, has been on good terms with Meng De and Benchu, so I will send an envoy to Danyang to recruit troops!" After a pause, he thought about it, turned to Yao Sheng, and said, "Uncle Qian, go to Danyang. The appointment of Danyang to recruit troops is a must for you! ..., Qing has not been home for a long time, right? Take this opportunity, you can also go home and have a look."

Yao Sheng is from Wucheng County, Wu County. Wu County and Danyang County are both in Yangzhou, and the two counties are bordering, and they are both next to Guangling County. From Guangling County, go south and go straight for 30 to 40 miles to the county boundary of Wu County. Going diagonally down, it is also the county boundary of Danyang County if you travel thirty or forty miles. Yao Sheng's family is also a famous family in Wu County. The family is crowned with a clan, and they are the most important surnames in the county. Because the two counties are in the same state and adjacent to each other, their clan members have many contacts with Danyang scholars and heroes, or they simply have Due to the relationship of in-laws, if he was sent to Danyang to recruit troops this time, not only would he be familiar with people and places, and he would be able to successfully complete the task, but he might also be able to recruit a few more talents for Xunzhen from Danyang and Wujun.

Xunzhen restores and develops agriculture in Guangling, and Yao Sheng is now in charge.

Xun Zhen also said: "The task of recruiting troops is very important. When it comes to farming in Ruo County, after the minister leaves, Yuan Sui can temporarily take charge."

Yao Sheng reluctantly agreed.
