After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, Emperor Han Ling accepted the suggestion in order to strengthen the local control and strengthen the suppression force. He successively changed the state secretariat in some important areas into state pastors, and selected prestigious bureaucrats to hold posts, so that the state governor only had the executive power and had the right to lead troops and govern the people instead. This gives some generals and local officials the power to expand their military strength, resulting in the situation that counties are good at guarding military strategists and accelerating the development of local separatist forces.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the power of protecting the capital, Emperor Ling set up eight governors in the capital Xiyuan and expanded the eight guards. Seven people, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, were appointed as commanders and unified soldiers. Taking eunuch Jian Shuo as a captain and marshal, commanding the other seven captains, even general He Jin should be under his control, and the contradiction between eunuchs and consorts, bureaucrats and literati became sharp. In April of the 6th year of Zhong Ping (189), Emperor Ling died. Determined to kill blades, he made Liu Xie, the son of Wang Guiren, emperor and monopolized the power. Why did you notice that you were rushing back to the camp, but the robust plan failed? So Liu Bian, the son of Queen He, succeeded to the throne. It's for young emperors, He Taihou facing the DPRK, and blades recording history for generals. Blades knew that eunuchs were autocratic and disorderly, and everyone hated them, so he discussed with Yuan Shao, a representative of a big family, to eradicate eunuchs. Jian Shuo, suspicious of his insecurity, wrote a book and said to China's servants: "The generals' brothers are loyal to the country and North Korea, and now they are plotting with all party member in the world to punish the former emperor (referring to eunuchs) and destroy Cao. However, as important as Shuo Dian, it is also Shen Yin. It's time to close your castration and arrest it. " Blades often wait on Guo to kiss his fellow villagers. After consulting with Zhong Zhao, he told blades to blades. He Jin pre-emptively, ordered Huangmenling to arrest Jian Shuo and put him to death, and took over the imperial army led by Jian Shuo, becoming a real power figure in charge of military power.
After blades monopolized the power, Yuan Shao advised Dou Wu to seize the opportunity to destroy eunuchs: "Today, the general is as heavy as Yuan Jiu, and the brothers lead the troops. Most generals and officials are handsome, famous and willing to do their best. Things are under control, and this day is also a time for praise. The general should save the world from worry and be famous for future generations. " And warned him not to enter the palace easily. Blades and Yuan Shao decided to get rid of all eunuchs and report to the Queen Mother. He Taihou ascended the queen's throne by virtue of eunuch power, and was inextricably linked with eunuchs, so he disagreed with blades' suggestion. He said that eunuchs were in charge of court affairs, which has been the case since the establishment of the Han Dynasty. How can it be abolished? He Jin can't change the prejudice of the queen mother. Lombardi reminded him that "China officials are close to the supreme, with orderly access. They don't know how to waste today, and they will be in trouble later. " Blades hesitated.
So Yuan Shao suggested that blades recruit more heroes from all over the world and lead troops into Beijing to intimidate the Queen Mother. Blades agreed. Chen Lin, the main book, thinks that "it's not a success to give people a handle for holding weapons, but only for chaos". Senior Minister Lu Zhi also said that it was inappropriate to call Zhuo Ren back to Beijing. Blades didn't listen, so he called former general Dong Zhuo, Dong Jun prefect Qiao Huan and Wumeng captain Ding Yuan to Luoyang and suggested to the court to eliminate eunuchs. The Queen Mother still refused to follow, and Blades' younger brother He Miao also advised him to ponder, but Blades became more suspicious. Yuan Shao was worried that He Jin would change his plan, but threatened: "Since the war has been fought and the situation has been revealed, why didn't the general decide earlier?" Things should change with the constant, and then the machine will be in trouble. "
He Jin then took Yuan Shao as the commander-in-chief and Wang Yun as Henan Yin to control the military and political power of the capital Luoyang and Henan. After Yuan Shao accepted the appointment, he put Luoyang in charge of eunuchs and urged Dong Zhuo and others to hurry on their way. Until now, He Taihou felt unlucky and was forced to recall Zhang Rang and other eunuchs to power. All the constant attendants and Xiao Huangmen apologized when they saw the blade and waited for disposal. Yuan Shao suggested that blades take the opportunity to arrest a group of people, but blades were not allowed. Blade suggested that they return to their own country to enjoy their retirement, but the eunuchs refused to step down automatically and secretly planned a counterattack.
Dong Zhuo was born in Lintao, Longxi (now Min County, Gansu Province). During the Western Han Dynasty, Lintao was an important frontier town of Qiang people, and its geographical situation was very dangerous. The local people are good at riding and shooting, and their habits are brave. Dong Zhuo grew up in a military attache family. He is generally strong, rough and resourceful. Historically speaking, he was "strong, wearing two shoes and shooting from left to right, which was what Hu Qiang feared". When I was young, I tried to travel among the Qiang people, and I got to know Hao Qiang. I am proficient in Hu Qiang affairs, and I am famous as a knight-errant. In the last years of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was a good family in six counties, and together with Zhang Huan, a corps commander, he attacked Hanyang and rebelled against Qiang, and repeatedly made meritorious military service, even rising to the rank of official, until the secretariat of Bing and the prefect of Hedong. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, Dong Zhuo worshipped Dong Zhuo as the commander in chief, replacing Lu Zhi's direct department to attack Xiaquyang, and the army was defeated to make amends. Soon, he was appointed as a corps commander and a general to break Lu, and accompanied Zhang Wen, a general riding a chariot, to attack Jincheng rebels and Han Sui. In the fourth year of Zhong Ping (187), Han Sui and Marten jointly attacked Sanfu. Dong Zhuo was appointed as a former general by the imperial court and defeated Han Sui and Marten together with the left general Huang Fusong. Because Dong Zhuo strengthened the power of Liangzhou soldiers in the battle with Xiqiang, Han Sui and Marten, his political ambition also expanded, so that he refused to be recruited by the court twice: once, in the sixth year of Zhong Ping (189), the Eastern Han government recruited him as a junior official (one of the nine ministers) in the court, and Dong Zhuo refused to take office in Luoyang on the pretext that his Hu Qiangbing did not obey orders; First, when Emperor Ling was dying, he worshipped him as a state shepherd and ordered him to hand over military power to Huang Fusong. Once again, he disobeyed orders and left his troops in Hedong to sit tight. This time, he was summoned by the blade and thought it was a good opportunity to usurp power. He immediately led his troops to Luoyang, and wrote to demand that the eunuchs Zhang Rang and others be severely punished to "clean up the rape". Before Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, the eunuchs Zhang Rang and Duan Si, etc. Fake spread the queen mother's will, summoned blades into the palace to discuss, and made dozens of confidants ambush outside the official door in advance. When he entered and left the official gate, they launched a surprise attack and killed the blade. Zhang Rang, Duan Wa, etc. Make a letter, make it a captain, and make it Yuzhou Yin. Shangshu got the letter to the board of directors, but he was suspicious and refused to believe it. Japan said, "Please consult the general." On the first day when he threw his head on the ground, Zhonghuangmen said, "The Hejin rebellion was suppressed." Blades and Yuan Shu heard blades were killed, led the troops to burn the palace gate, and Duan Si genial smile that, hurriedly hijacked Shao Dihe, Liu Xie and dozens of palace officials to escape. When they fled to Xiaopingjin (an important ferry of the Yellow River, located in the northeast of Jin Meng, Henan Province), Zhang Rang was desperate and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. At the same time, Yuan Shao and others led the troops to close the North Palace Gate and led troops to search for eunuchs. All beheaded, regardless of age, * * * killed more than two thousand people. Some people without beards were also killed as eunuchs.
When Luoyang killed the eunuch, Dong Zhuo had led the troops to approach the capital, and he was far-sighted and fired. He knew that North Korea had changed, but he still led the troops forward quickly. Before dawn, he arrived in the west of the city, heard that Shaodi was in Beimang, and went to meet him. When Shaodi saw Dong Zhuo coming with the ranks, he sobbed in horror. When ministers saw this, they said to Dong Zhuo, "There are letters, but there are soldiers." Dong Zhuo has been unfaithful for a long time and refused to listen. Instead, he said to the ministers, "You are ministers of the country, and you cannot rectify the royal family. You let the country go wild, how can there be soldiers? " So he returned to Luoyang with Shao Di and Chen Liuwang.
Appreciation of Ancient Feng Shui Paintings Dong Zhuo led an army into Luoyang, and it happened that Bao Xin, the commander in chief, came from Taishan to recruit soldiers. He suggested Yuan Shao: "If Dong Zhuo controls Qiang Bing, he will have different ambitions. If he doesn't make plans early today, he will be arrested. " But Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo and didn't dare to attack. Soon, some works of He Jin and his younger brother He Miao were returned to Dong Zhuo, who bought off Ding Yuan's subordinate Lu Bu, killed Wu Jindingyuan and merged his troops. Coupled with the 3,000 troops he brought from Liangzhou, the military strength has been greatly enhanced, and Dong Zhuo's ambition is also expanding. He calls himself Sikong, Qiu and Guo Xiang. In order to weaken the power of Ho's consorts group, he is going to abolish the young emperor Liu Bian and make Liu Xie emperor. He consulted with Yuan Shao, who disagreed. Dong Zhuo raised his sword and thundered, "How dare you stand upright! Isn't me important in this world? I want to do it, who dares not to do it! " Yuan Shao flew into a rage and said, "Dong Gong is the only healthy person in the world!" " With these words, he bowed with his sword and left. When he sat in his seat, he was stunned by this scene. Dong Zhuo first came to Luoyang, and because Yuan Shao was a family, he dared not harm him. Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo's revenge and ran to Jizhou that night. Dong Zhuo took the advice of Zhouyi and Wu Qiong and made Yuan Shao the prefect of Bohai Sea. Yuan Shao's younger brothers, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, were unwilling to give in to Dong Zhuo, and they also fled Luoyang for development.
After Dong Zhuo came to power, in order to maintain his ruling position, he deceives the world and steals the reputation, hypocritically goes easy on him, uses party celebrities as court officials, releases ministers as shepherds and governors, and vindicates the unjust imprisonment of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and other party member. He used Zhou Lu, Wu Qiong, Zheng Tai and Gou Shuang. , and hold important positions; His followers, such as Chen Ji and Han Rong, were all appointed as Lieqing. Cai Yong, a well-known scholar, fled under the attack of eunuchs before, and Dong Zhuo called him to Beijing, where he was promoted three times in three days and took the position of a servant. Dong Zhuo also tried to win over other influential figures, such as Han Fu as Jizhou Pastoral, Liu Dai as Yanzhou Secretariat, Kong Xian as Yuzhou Secretariat, and Zhang Miao as Liu Chen Prefect. On the surface, he has a close relationship with the famous Zhu Bangfu, but inside he is afraid. Dong Zhuo regarded himself as Qiu and his deputy, but this did not make him really master the military power.
Dong Zhuo abolished Shaodi as the king of Hongnong and made Liu Xie the emperor, thinking that the world was stable and he could do whatever he wanted, plundering and killing blindly. Dong Zhuo was cruel by nature, and often connived at soldiers robbing property and women, which plunged Luoyang area into terror. In February of the first year of Chuping (190), Dong Zhuo sent troops to Yangcheng (now southeast of Dengfeng, Henan). At that time, Dong Zhuo's soldiers killed all the men, robbed women and property, tied their heads to the shaft, lied that "the thief won a great victory" and shouted "Long live". Back in Luoyang, men's heads were burned and women were given to soldiers as maids and concubines. Dong Zhuo's atrocities aroused people's strong dissatisfaction. Armed county governors in kanto region also took the opportunity to crusade against Dong Zhuo to expand their power.
In the first year of Chuping (190), Yuan Shao, later generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Muhanfu, Yuzhou secretariat Kong Xian, Yanzhou secretariat Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Guangling satrap Juck Zhang, Hanoi satrap Wang Kuang, satrap, Dong Jun satrap Qiao Huan, Jibei Xiangbaoxin and Cao, etc. At that time, Guo Tai, the figurehead of the Yellow Scarf, led more than 10 people, once again revolted in the white trough of Xihe River, moved to Taiyuan, Hedong and other places, and attacked Luoyang with the Kwantung Army. Dong Zhuo was afraid, but he killed Hongnong Wang, prepared to move the capital to Chang 'an, and called a meeting of his ministers. Qiu Huang Wan and Stuart Yang Biao did not agree to move the capital to Chang 'an, and the court debate was inconclusive. Wu Qiong and Zhou Lu had to protest. Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered Wu and Tuesday to be beheaded. Huang Wan and Yang Biao were demoted as doctors of Guanglu, and they decided to kidnap Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to the west. Before he left, Dong Zhuo ordered the Luoyang Palace Que and the government to be set on fire, and all the houses within 200 miles of Fiona Fang were looted. He forced millions of people near Luoyang to move westward. Along the way, people were trampled and plundered by the army, killing and injuring countless people. Many people died of hunger because of lack of food. Dong Zhuo also ordered people to dig the tombs of emperors and ministers and steal treasures. Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior not only seriously damaged Luoyang's economy, but also caused unprecedented looting of cultural heritage, and a large number of books and cultural relics were destroyed.
After moving the capital to Chang 'an, Dong Zhuo instructed the emperor to worship him as his surname, ranking above the princes. He collected a lot of gold and silver treasures and grain from Luoyang and other places and hid them in the dock. The wall is seven feet high and seven feet thick, and the date is "Long live the pier". Dong Zhuo said to himself: "When things are done, the world will win; If you don't keep this, you will die. " At the same time, Dong Zhuo wantonly killed dissidents, saying that "the law is cruel, he loves and hates lewd punishment, and what's more, he falsely accused and wronged thousands of dead people", which made "the people feel deeply sad and the road is based on their eyes". On one occasion, Dong Zhuo made a tour of Nanwu and ordered officials to hold a banquet outside the West Gate of Chang 'an. Dong Zhuo killed hundreds of people while sitting. The murdered man first cut off his tongue, cut off his hands and feet, then gouged out his eyes, and finally put them in a boiling pot and boiled them alive. Some ministers attending the meeting were so scared that they lost their knives and chopsticks that Dong Zhuo ate as cool as a cucumber. It's so barbaric that this! Everyone hates Dong Zhuo and his Liangzhou soldiers, which is enough to destroy them.
In the third year of Chuping (192), Stuart plotted against Dong Zhuo with Huang Wan, a captain, Fu She and Lu Bu, a corps commander. After killing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu became Dong Zhuo's trusted attendant, and the two became sworn fathers and sons. Later, due to trivial matters, Lu Bu was almost stabbed to death by Dong Zhuo with a halberd. Therefore, Lyu3 bu4 resented Dong Zhuo and made him feel uneasy by having an affair with the palace maid concubines, so he participated in Wang Yun's plot and promised to be an insider. In April, Xian Di recovered, and his ministers were in Weiyang Hall. Yun3 and others took the opportunity to send cronies to ride a surname and Su Li, and took more than a dozen soldiers disguised as bodyguards to guard the palace gate, waiting for Dong Zhuo's arrival. After Dong Zhuo was introduced, Su Li stabbed him with a halberd. Dong Zhuo hurt his arm and fell out of the car. He shouted, "Where is Lu Bu?" Lu Bu immediately shouted: "There is a thief's letter!" Stabbed Dong Zhuo with a spear, and then killed several of Dong Zhuo's cronies. Lu Bu took out the imperial edict in his arms and announced loudly to the officials: "I don't ask much about the imperial edict." The officials stood still, "Long live the name"! When Chang 'an people heard the news of Dong Zhuo's murder, they sang and danced in the streets. Many ladies and gentlemen sold Zhu Yu's clothes and bought wine and meat to celebrate.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun recorded history, and Lu Bu was appointed as a general, and * * * was in charge of state affairs. Wang Yun is willful and does not talk about strategy. Many ministers who were attached to Dong Zhuo were executed. Cai Yong, a famous scholar, was shocked by the news of Dong Zhuo's murder and died in prison. Dong Zhuo's men were afraid, and Wang Yun failed to properly handle it, which led to an alliance between Dong Zhuo and Cui Li (Yin Jue) and Guo Si, and gathered more than 100,000 soldiers to attack Chang 'an, defeat Lu Bu and kill Wang Yun. Soon, Dong Zhuo's ministries fought for the highest power for more than two years, making Chang 'an and its nearby Guanzhong area a battleground. Residents fled one after another, and their trips were cut off, resulting in the tragic scene described by the poet as "going out without seeing, bones covering the plain". Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty existed in name only, and the Eastern Han Dynasty actually existed in name only, which was followed by a greater scuffle among the Kanto warlords and gradually formed a long-term division.
