Two hundred and two storms sweeping the world
Knowing that Yuan Wei planned to do such a thing, Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji disagreed at the beginning.
Yuan Ji was worried that if things happened, it would make Yuan Wei’s situation very dangerous.
Yuan Wei waved his hand and didn't think so.
"I am the leader of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo dare not kill me no matter what. This is the biggest truth in the world. Dong Zhuo has read books and dare not disobey it. If he wants to disobey it, he must also see if there will be disasters behind him. He dare not."
The hidden rules of politics at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the obligations of officials to the leader were clearly understood. Yuan Wei believed that Dong Zhuo would not dare to kill him no matter what, otherwise he would have been exterminated from the world.
With Dong Zhuo's level, he would not make such a mistake, otherwise his entire family would be in danger.
Just as Dong Zhuo seized power without hurting Yuan's family, if Yuan Wei took back the power, at most, Dong Zhuo would be abolished and the entire family would not be destroyed.
Yuan Wei's words made Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu very much agree with them. He suddenly felt that this move was very meaningful, so he immediately arranged according to Yuan Wei's idea.
Yuan Wei arranged for Yuan Shu to leave Luoyang, hoping that Yuan Shu would lead the princes from all over the country to march into the capital as the initiator of the attack on Dong.
The reason why I didn't choose Yuan Ji was because Yuan Ji was the eldest son, so I must stabilize Dong Zhuo with me. It would be fine if I escaped from Yuan Shu. If I escaped from Yuan Ji, Dong Zhuo would immediately be alert.
We must buy time and give everyone time to rise up.
Later, in a very strange atmosphere, Yuan began to secretly contact scholars and explore their words.
This test actually received a lot of responses.
These people expressed regret to Yuan Wei, saying that they were confused by Dong Zhuo, and did not see through his true face, etc.
Yuan Wei wanted to get angry very much, but now he needed to win everyone's cooperation, so he just looked as if he had not blamed him and fought for their secret cooperation.
And in this way, Yuan Wei saw Dong Zhuo's weakness under his might and his lameness in politics. Once his nature was revealed, he would be immediately abandoned by those ambitious people.
Yuan Wei felt that his plan would definitely be able to overturn Dong Zhuo successfully and regain the glory and power that should have belonged to the Yuan family.
This plan was quietly spread among scholars and soon spread to the ears of the Xun scholars. The Xun clan member Sikong Xunshuang and Huangmen Minister Xun You both knew about this.
Xun Shuang was a little hesitant, while Xun You firmly opposed it.
"Uncle, isn't this kind of thing absurd?"
"How do you say this?"
Xun Shuang looked at Xun You, who had always been known for his intelligence and wisdom.
Xun You said slowly: "Dong Zhuo is in trouble with Luoyang. If you want to get rid of Dong Zhuo, shouldn't he be eliminated in Luoyang? I don't agree with the general recruiting foreign troops to deal with eunuchs. This is a move to disrupt the world. Now it's hard to stabilize the world, and the Grand Tutor wants to do the same thing as the General!"
Xun Shuang thought about it and felt that what Xun You said made sense.
“Continue.”
"Recruiting foreign troops into the capital is a risky move. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of recruiting foreign troops to attack the capital in order to conquer the chaos and granting military power to the governors of other places. This is to separate the country, giving it easy, but it is difficult to recover it. The soldiers have been obtained, who is willing to hand over it?
In the past, in order to regain power and kill Liang Ji, Xiaohuan relied on just a group of eunuchs. The Liang clan was a relative of the foreigners, with an empress dowager and an old official, and his power was much greater than that of Dong Zhuo. Xiaohuan only used eunuchs to assassinate Liang Ji, and everything was pacified.
Now only one assassin needs to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and the big thing can be decided, but the Taifu wants to recruit foreign troops to jointly attack Luoyang. This is to use his ministers to attack the king, and to disrupt the superiors and inferiors of the king and his ministers. This is the real disaster to the world!"
Xun You said it very seriously. Although Xun Shuang thought it made sense, she was very worried about Xun You's plan and did not agree with it very much.
"Xiao Huan killed Liang Ji because he had a great reputation, and the right time, place, people and possession. The assassination was a huge coincidence. If it failed and was pursued by Dong Zhuo, he would not know how many people would die. This would be too risky."
Xun You hurriedly said: "No matter how risky Dong Zhuo is, no matter how angry he is, he will only disrupt the capital and Luoyang, and will not disrupt the world. If the Taifu wants the world to raise an army, the world will be bustling with all the wars. It is easy to rise and it is difficult to eliminate it. I am afraid that the world will be in chaos from now on and there will be no stability!"
Xun Shuang thought about it again and again, but still shook her head.
"Since the Taifu has such an idea, he must have the means to cure the aftermath, and he can rule over Dong Zhuo's troops and prevent the army from causing chaos."
"Will there be no second, third or even fourth Dong Zhuo again?"
Xun You asked back, and Xun Shuang was speechless.
But Xun Shuang did not adopt Xun You's suggestion in the end, but instead agreed with Yuan Wei's suggestion.
Xun You sighed and stopped talking.
Xun You's clan uncle Xun Yu was also working in the court at this time and agreed with Xun You's opinion quite well, but Xun Shuang had already decided, and Xun Yu had no choice but to do anything about it.
Thinking about General He Jin recruited foreign troops into the capital, which made the capital city chaotic. Now he finally stabilized the capital, but Yuan Wei was going to cause trouble again.
Xun Yu had a premonition that a big disaster was coming, so he felt aspiring to leave, and just wanted to leave Luoyang as soon as possible and take refuge in a safe place.
Yuan Wei's plan was thus recognized by most people.
So from one day onwards, close scholars kept suggesting Dong Zhuo in his ears, saying that Dong Zhuo had just ascended to the position of prime minister and should show his wisdom to the whole world so that the world could obey.
Dong Zhuo was worried about this matter, so he asked them what to do.
These ulterior motives suggested to Dong Zhuo that famous celebrities from the court would be enfeoffed to serve as officials in various places.
Because many eunuch group officials fled in various places before, many vacancies of official positions appeared, and it would be impossible to manage the place without officials.
Therefore, at this time, famous scholars should be arranged to be the chief officials in places without chief officials, so that the world can be stabilized and the prestige of the Prime Minister Dong is spread to the ends of the world.
Dong Zhuo was so dizzy that he was bombarded by the successive bombings. He felt that this was right, so he acted like a virtuous attitude with a full sense of superiority and enfeoffed a large number of famous scholars to serve as official positions.
For example, he was granted Han Fu as the governor of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Qiong as the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Zi as the prefect of Nanyang, Kong Rong as the prefect of Runan, Ying Shao as the prefect of Taishan, Zhang Miao as the prefect of Chenliu, and Xun Yu as the magistrate of Kangfu County.
At the same time, with the repeated suggestions of the closest four confidants, He Yong, Zheng Tai, Zhou Wei and Wu Qiong, Dong Zhuo, as the highest ruling, must demonstrate his demeanor and style as the ruling person, so that the world can be returned to the hearts of the world.
So Dong Zhuo forgave Yuan Shao's escape with a good sense of self-satisfaction, and when he learned that he was in Jizhou, he appointed him as the prefect of Bohai to reconcile.
He also appointed Bao Xin, the former general's subordinate, as prime minister of Jibei, and Wang Kuang as prefect of Hanoi to show his reconciliation with them.
Another time, the governor of Qingzhou, Guo Peng, reported that he had defeated 30,000 Yellow Turban Army and asked for rewards for his subordinates. Dong Zhuo made the decision and changed the left general of Qingzhou, Guo Peng, to the governor of Qingzhou, to strengthen Guo Peng's power, and at the same time showed the intention of winning over.
All of these appointments were written as officials who were remarked by Dong Zhuo, and they were written clearly.
Dong Zhuo felt that this would be enough to demonstrate his magnanimity, so these people would definitely regard themselves as their kindness, be grateful to themselves, and sincerely agree with their rule.
Then Dong Zhuo began to enjoy his honor as the world's number one minister, entering and leaving the palace at will, appointing and removing officials at will, promoting what he likes, not derogating what he likes, and not criticizing what he likes.
He thought the situation had stabilized, but he never thought that a strong political and military storm was brewing.
