Chapter 188 Chaos, Chaos, Chaos
In Wancheng, Zhang Yu was warmly welcomed by the prefect Yang Xu.
In the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Yu led private troops to Nanyang to deal with Zhao Zi's rebels and established noble prestige in Nanyang. Yang Xu was obedient to Zhang Yu at that time.
Zhang Yu came to Wancheng as the governor of Jingzhou, and Yang Xu became Zhang Yu's subordinate, so he naturally became more respectful to Zhang Yu.
Yang Xu is a historically level honest official.
Zhang Yu also respects Yang Xu very much. This time he came here mainly to meet him, so that Yang Xu could understand that Jingzhou had changed his master, and everything would have to be listened to Zhang Yu in the future.
Yang Xu reported in detail about his work since he came to Nanyang. Zhang Yu was very satisfied after hearing this. He fully affirmed Yang Xu's work and encouraged him to continue working hard and further build Nanyang.
Accompanied by Yang Xu, Zhang Yu inspected Wancheng and found that Nanyang had recovered its vitality after several years of construction, and Wancheng's commerce and trade were prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He was very happy.
Zhang Yu did not tell Yang Xu that Luoyang was about to change and that the Han Dynasty was about to fall into war and separatist rule by the princes.
This time, the meeting with Yang Xu was mainly about pursuing things, so that Yang Xu could accept Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu thought that he could consider the rest after returning from Luoyang.
Zhang Yu stayed in Wancheng all night, and early the next morning, he set out on the road alone and ran to Luoyang at a speed of 200 yards.
At this time, Emperor Ling of Han was dying and lay on the bed and could not move.
The forces led by Empress He and the forces led by Empress Dowager Dong changed from secret confrontation to open conflict.
Empress He naturally gained the upper hand by relying on the support of two brothers leading the army, and she was determined to make her son Liu Bian the emperor. Empress Dowager Dong was unwilling to fail, so she used her nephew Dong Chong and the military captain Qian Shuo to take charge of the army, trying every means to make the prince Liu Xie the emperor.
Outside the palace, the undercurrent became a clear stream. In the general's mansion, Yuan Shao and others thought that the time to kill the eunuch was ripe, so they surrounded He Jin all day long and persuaded He Jin to find an opportunity to kill the eunuch.
Who is Yuan Shao? He is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. If the world is not chaotic, he will never have the chance to rise. Only when the world is in chaos can he take the sir into the fire.
Although Yuan Shao was born into the Yuan family of four generations, he was born in a illegitimate family and his progress in the officialdom was always behind his half-brother Yuan Shu. He knew that he would not compare his fate with his eldest brother Yuan Ji, but he would compare with his younger brother Yuan Shu!
Since his debut, Yuan Shu has always held the Hu Ben and held real power. Once promoted in the future, he will definitely be a senior official at the level of the Nine Ministers. But what about Yuan Shao? No matter how hard he tries, he is still just a lieutenant. I don’t know that he can only become an official at the Nine Ministers in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month!
Yuan Shao often lamented the injustice of fate to him.
As a general, He Jin admired Yuan Shao's background because of his low background. Since Yuan Shao came to work at the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao took the initiative to approach him and talked about the principle of killing eunuchs in his ears every day. General He Jin regarded Yuan Shao as his biggest confidant.
He Jin just wants to maintain the status quo, and it is not important to him who is the emperor.
But He Jin's ears were too soft. After hearing too much from Yuan Shao, he also had the idea of killing eunuchs.
The eunuchs are not fools either. They have seen the problem long ago and they live a worried life all day long.
The eunuchs thought they were the emperor's greatest loyal ministers and tried their best to do things for the emperor. They couldn't understand why He Jin and others wanted to kill them.
The eunuchs thought that without them, there would be no brothers He Jin, and they complained a lot about brothers He Jin. They wanted to eliminate brothers He Jin, but they couldn't think of a solution. Because brothers He Jin controlled the soldiers in the world and had too great power.
Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, General Dong Chong, and General Qianshuo, formed an alliance with the military commander Qianshuo. The two of them wanted to help Emperor Ling of Han to the throne. By supporting Liu Xie to the throne, he took control of the military power and defeated the He Jin brothers.
Dong Chong and Qian Shuo were always thinking about ways to defeat He Jin brothers.
Don’t think that Emperor Ling of Han is useless. As long as this historically tyrant monarch is not dead, to be honest, no one dares to act rashly, no matter in the palace or outside the palace.
As long as Emperor Ling of Han lives one more day, the Han Dynasty will be able to have one more day of peace.
As Zhang Yu, his heart was also dark. Although he became the son-in-law of Emperor Ling of Han, he still hoped that the Han Dynasty would fall into war and separatist rule by the princes, because only in this way could he realize his dream of fighting for hegemony with the princes and become his local emperor in Jingzhou. Of course, Zhang Yu thought more about his own ideas and could put them into practice, allowing the Han Dynasty to enter the era of science and democracy. If Zhang Yu could become an emperor, the ancient Eastern Kingdom would probably have entered the industrial era 1,700 or 800 years ago.
The cultivation of the spirit of learning will never be like that of later generations. If the Han Dynasty made a point of fingers and points out the contributions of the Han Dynasty to modern world civilization, it would be able to clearly define it with one hand. No matter who is the supreme leader of the Han Dynasty, he would rule with the concept of family and world. This is the most tragic thing about the Han Dynasty. What does the world have to do with him like a rotten meat? As long as the rule can be stable, it is not only Emperor Ling of Han implemented the Party and Prison policy, but Emperor Ling of Han’s Party and Prison policy is just a slight witch in the face of the ban policy of later generations.
Zhang Yu thought that the civilization of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years was only a long time and had made very little contribution to human history.
Zhang Yu really wanted to use his own strength to rewrite history and let the Han Dynasty enter the Avenue of Light.
But how easy is to do this? The corrupt and degenerate Han Dynasty will never be able to move towards the bright road of scientific civilization without being destroyed and rebuilt.
At this time, Zhang Yu was increasingly understanding the reasons why the system did not allow Zhang Yu to change history. If it was not destroyed or established, the Han Dynasty could only have great chaos and hope to rebuild. Without reconstruction, the spirit of Mr. De and Mr. Sai would not be implemented.
Logically, Zhang Yu should not return to Luoyang, but should allow the situation to evolve into real history. However, the system requires Zhang Yu to protect key celebrities. If Zhang Yu wants Zhang Yu to come to Luoyang, Zhang Yu has to come.
In the system's opinion, Zhang Yu is the most capable of training at this time, everything is as chaotic as a mahjong. If Zhang Yu can handle various relationships well in such chaotic times, kill what should be killed and protect what should be protected, and may not all be able to solve the problem easily when encountering complex situations in the future?
Only this stage is the most chaotic. Even if it is in chaos in the future, it is absolutely impossible to be in chaos now.
Luoyang is in chaos, and there are also chaos outside Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo, a figure who destroyed the Han Dynasty's order, was leading heavy troops to station in Hedong.
Huangfu Song impeached Dong Zhuo. Emperor Ling of Han appointed Dong Zhuo as the governor of Bingzhou and ordered him to hand over the team to Huangfu Song. Dong Zhuo actually replied to Emperor Ling of Han: "Soldiers and soldiers have been in love with each other for a long time, and they are fond of their kindness for their livestock. They are eager to be the emperor of the north and serve the Bian Chui." Dong Zhuo refused to hand over the military power, and then led his troops to Hedong to observe the changes in the times.
Since Dong Zhuo led his troops to fight against the Qiang and Hu and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, he was highly valued by the court many times and was promoted. Especially after defeating Han Sui and others, his power grew stronger and formed a mixed army with Liangzhou people as the main body, mixed with Hu people and Han people. Although the court suppressed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, who was becoming increasingly full of wings, became more and more ambitious and arrogant. After stationing troops in Hedong, the entire Longxi became Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence. He not only mastered powerful armed forces, but also a local warlord and powerful official, but also a court official and a border official. With his strong strength and extremely inflated ambition, Dong Zhuo began to design specific steps to win the central government.
If Emperor Ling of Han could give Huangfu Song an edict to order him to restrain Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would definitely not dare to enter the dictatorship of Luoyang. At this time, Dong Zhuo was only afraid that Huangfu Song would be the only one, because Huangfu Song's prestige was too high and he controlled another heavy army. Moreover, in terms of fighting skills, Dong Zhuo knew that he was not Huangfu Song's opponent.
The court implemented a policy of appeasement against Dong Zhuo, and He Jin wanted to use Dong Zhuo. He Jin believed that he had the ability to control Dong Zhuo, so he could not suggest that the court order Huangfu Song to deal with Dong Zhuo. On the contrary, he wanted to use Dong Zhuo as an important force to deter eunuchs, which laid the root of disaster.
In addition to using Dong Zhuo, He Jin also wanted to use another important military force to deter eunuchs. This military force is the Bingzhou Group, and the leader is Ding Yuan, who is currently stationed in Hanoi. He Jin's wishful thinking is like this. Dong Zhuo is not arrogant and unruly, and an elephant-headed beast. Once he can't control it, he will be backfired! OK! I asked Ding Yuan to monitor him. Once Dong Zhuo makes bad moves, I asked Ding Yuan to clean up.
However, in real history, Dong Zhuo used only a small plan to alienate Ding Yuan's chief clerk Lu Bu, who killed Ding Yuan and merged Ding Yuan's army without any effort.
Dong Zhuo became a wild horse, and no one could control it anymore.
Although Zhang Yu had only one person, he represented a kind of force and belonged to the royalist faction. Because Zhang Yu was closest to Emperor Ling of Han and had just married Emperor Ling of Han, everyone thought that Zhang Yu was the most loyal to Emperor Ling of Han. Moreover, Emperor Ling of Han reiterated Zhang Yu's status and privileges. Anyone who had evil deeds could be killed without asking for instructions. Zhang Yu's act of slashing Bao Hong with a knife seemed cold-blooded, but in fact it promoted Zhang Yu's prestige. No one dared to underestimate Zhang Yu, because Zhang Yu's personal ability and prestige were too high, and the privileges in his hands were too great. All sects secretly wanted to pull Zhang Yu to their own camp, and no one wanted to be an enemy of Zhang Yu.
He Jin knew that he could not control Zhang Yu, and the two could only have an ally. He Jin could win over Zhang Yu, but could not control Zhang Yu. He Jin was very afraid of Zhang Yu and was worried that his actions against the eunuchs would arouse Zhang Yu's opposition. When Emperor Ling of Han was about to die, Zhang Yu married Princess Wannian and took office in Jingzhou. He Jin was very happy. Luoyang without Zhang Yu was his Luoyang in He Jin's view.
Zhang Yu married Princess Wannian and went home to Jingzhou. There were many things to do and the journey was very long. Everyone thought that Zhang Yu would stay in Jingzhou for a long time and could not come back when Emperor Ling of Han passed away.
Therefore, when various factions competed secretly and openly, they did not take Zhang Yu's factor into consideration.
What various forces never dreamed of was that Zhang Yu suddenly returned to Luoyang and came directly to the bedside of Emperor Ling of Han.
