Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C379

The Zhang Banxian knew that Hua Xin was accusing him of not sending troops to attack Luoyang, so she explained to him seriously, “Without the Son of Heaven’s orders, how could the hussar general cross the Yellow River so easily? And why would they dare to attack Luoyang and startle the Son of Heaven? ”

“Isn’t it too shocking for the hussar general to request for the election of the Emperor in the report?” Hua Xin had been educated in Confucianism for many years, so he was still unable to accept the idea of electing an emperor. “The Son of Heaven is under the orders of the heavens, how can he be elected by a mortal?”

“Mr. Hua Xin, if the Son of Heaven has received orders from the heavens, why did the heavens choose to send some unconscious Monarchs? Could the heavens have fainted as well? ” The Zhang Banxian herself was a fortune-teller, so she naturally knew what was going on in the heavens. He looked at Hua Xin and coldly said: “Mr. Hua Xin, was the Emperor created by Dong Zhuo, or was it created by the heavens?”

Hua Xin was speechless, he himself also had the thought of crippling Hanling Emperor, but he did not participate because he felt that Wang Fen was someone who did great things. If he had established the Hefei Marquis, then he would have been in the sky? He thought for a moment that it might be better to elect an emperor than someone else. He nodded his head and said solemnly: “How about this, I will go to hussar general to take a look.”

Ever since the Luoyang had returned to the Eastern Region, Qiao Mao’s mood had always been extremely depressed. He was initially responding to the Grand General Ho Jin’s summons to lead his troops to the Luoyang to exterminate Gouzhi. However, he didn’t expect Dong Zhuo to take advantage of this opportunity and had instead retreated back dejectedly.

Following the continuous flow of news from the Luoyang, Qiao Mao gradually changed from depressed to angry. The Qiao family was also a Wealthy soldiers. Although they were not as big as the Yuan family, they were still a big family. Seeing Dong Zhuo rampaging through the imperial government, Qiao Mao was even more furious.

Just then, a guard suddenly came to report. He said that Master Tutor Yuan Mu’s disciple Shi Guotu had rushed over from Luoyang and had something to report to Lord Taishang. Qiao Mao immediately thought that there must be a problem with the Master Tutor and immediately ordered the guards to invite Guo Tu in.

Guo Tu and Qiao Mao conversed for a bit before introducing the current situation of the Luoyang to Qiao Mao. When it came to Dong Zhuo killing Minister of the Court, Guo Tu cried even more, causing Qiao Mao to look at Dong Zhuo with even more hatred. Then, Guo Tu took out Yuan Wu’s edict for Qiao Mao to copy out the various prefecture s.

Qiao Mao took the edict, and after looking at it carefully, he could not help but frown. Although he hated Dong Zhuo a lot, he was not stupid. If he was the first to go against Dong Zhuo, he would be roasted on fire. If he succeeded, then he would have done a great deed, but if he failed, then the Qiao Family would be annihilated.

“The Yuan clan is the current number one Scholars, the two young masters Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are today. Furthermore, they hold the posts of field officer and a general of Si Li, are in the court courtier, and have high reputations in the imperial court. If they were the ones who took the initiative, the whole world would respond, and things would come to an end. But I am only a small taiwai, I’m afraid that no one will respond to me … ”

In regards to Qiao Mao’s rejection, Guo Tu was not one bit surprised. After all, this was related to Qiao Mao’s personal political life, and even the entire family’s life. But Guo Tu also prepared an excuse, he would not let Qiao Mao easily decline.

“It is precisely because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are famous people and court courtier that if they were to take the initiative, it would be very easy for people in the world to mistake this as the Yuan clan competing for power and profits with Dong Zhuo, or as a personal grudge between them. And there is no entanglement between you and Dong Zhuo, there is only righteousness in this world. ”

“Why don’t you let the Hussar General Yang Lin initiate a righteous cause? He held a heavy soldier in his hands, and according to Hanoi, he had the intention to attack the Luoyang and chase Dong Zhuo away. Furthermore, he has already once sent a command to the Twilight Zone, so he wouldn’t mind giving Dong Zhuo an extra order to suppress him. ”

Qiao Mao immediately thought of Yang Lin. They had fought together against yellow scarves before, and could be considered to have had a comrade-in-arms relationship. Furthermore, Yang Lin’s troops were brave and he was not afraid of Dong Zhuo taking revenge. Especially with Yang Lin’s army attacking Dong Zhuo, their chances of winning should be even higher.

“Lord Taishang, what is our motive for going against Dong Zhuo? Wasn’t it to drive away these military men who only knew how to fight, who didn’t know how to govern, and establish a government run by scholars? If we let Yang Lin lead the people to suppress Dong Zhuo, wouldn’t that mean that we have brought a military man to welcome another? ”

Regardless of whether Yang Lin was cultured or not, in the eyes of the warriors, he was just a military man. Just like Huangfu Song, although he took out a large amount of time to study the Confucian classics, and even had very deep attainments, the Scholars still treated him like a martial artist.

For so many years, scholars had always been at a disadvantage in the power struggle between them and the eunuchs and the outsiders. The most fundamental reason was that there was no army in their hands, and the national army was only controlled by the soldiers. For their own benefit, the soldiers would either join the eunuchs or the outsiders.

During the chaos, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong allowed the various prefecture s to increase the number of soldiers. At the same time, he also allowed the rich and powerful families to form their own draft soldier, giving the warriors an opportunity to own an army. But this time, in order to suppress Dong Zhuo, no matter what, he had to let the scholars completely control the army.

“Lord Taishang, among all us people from Guan Dong, only you and Hussar General Yang Lin have had the experience of fighting together, so our friendship is not bad. Thus, if you were to be the leader of this cause, not only can you win the support of the Scholars Guan Dong, you can also obtain the support of the Hussar General Yang Lin. “Therefore, you are the best candidate to initiate a great cause.”

For a moment, Qiao Mao was speechless. Guo Tu’s words seemed to make a lot of sense. The Yuan family had three generations of officials, and their families were everywhere, but there were no generals leading soldiers. Moreover, they looked down on those martial artists who wielded swords and brandished spears. If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were to take the initiative, no one knew whether or not Yang Lin would respond.

“Lord Taishang, when I left the Luoyang, he told me to tell you that if you can uphold righteousness and chase away Dong Zhuo, then you will be able to create an immortal merit for our big man, and he will recommend you to be the Third Master of the Imperial Court.”

Seeing that Qiao Mao was still hesitating, Guo Tu could not help but to throw out another bait. Qiao Mao had taken the risk, so there should be some rewards. For warriors like Qiao Mao, the highest realm of their lives was as the Three Duke of the Imperial Court, becoming a renowned official that had lived for hundreds of generations.

As expected, Qiao Mao was moved. Although he still had a serious expression on his face, the inside of his heart had opened up. For the Chinese, any era, any person’s desire for a position was very strong. Don’t look at how some people lived in seclusion. That was just a feint.

However, in order to obtain the support of the Hussar General Yang Lin, as well as to ensure the longevity and stability of the man, I feel that we should, on the basis of endorsing the words that Yang Lin had written to Xiao Yumei, start an army against Dong Zhuo.

“Master Tutor also means the same thing, so the edict we sent out does not contradict Yang Lin’s report to Xiao Yumei. Furthermore, the edict we wrote was that all the State County who are participating in the suppression of Dong Zhuo, after chasing Dong Zhuo away, will send a Surveillance History to Luoyang to elect a new Emperor. ”

Seeing that Qiao Mao also approved of Yang Lin’s report, Guo Tu couldn’t help but be secretly happy. If Yuan Shao was successfully driven out this time, his reputation would undoubtedly reach its peak. Adding on the Yuan Family’s extensive network, Yuan Shao would definitely become the leader.

In December of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Tung Chung Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tortoise spread the word in the name of the three officials of the imperial court that Dong Zhuo had committed various crimes, such as offering gifts, poisoning the empress dowager, and massacring the ministers. They claimed that Dong Zhuo was a traitor who had caused chaos throughout the world, and called upon the various State County in the world to raise troops and put down traitors.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world was shaken.

First, it was the report from Hussar General Yang Lin that enlightened the people of the world, and then, it was followed by reports from various places, stirring up all sorts of discussions in the world. Now, there was suddenly an edict from the Three Sovereigns of the imperial court, causing the officials of the State County to be at a loss for what to do. A few official documents were similar, the only difference was that as a martial general, Yang Lin wanted to settle the dispute over the throne peacefully, while as a civil official, the three masters wanted to use force to suppress Dong Zhuo.

All the officials who received the imperial edict, regardless of their rank or rank, all started to discuss the matter of suppressing Dong Zhuo. It was because of Dong Zhuo’s overturning of the situation that people felt the fall of the royal power, while Yang Lin’s order stirred up a pool of stagnant water, Qiao Mao’s edict was the final blow to the royal power’s thought. The people seemed to have let go at once and began to talk boldly about the affairs of the state, and every time the people got a chance to speak their freedom of speech.

In the long history of China, people rarely have the right to speak, and they don’t even have the freedom to speak. At the time of the liberation of thought and the freedom of speech, it was during the period when the old dynasty had collapsed and the new dynasty had not yet been established.

Ever since the revolt of the yellow cloth, the Great Virtuous Master and the General Tianguang Zhang Jiao shouted out the slogan “The heavens have passed away, Huang Tian Dang is now standing, a person aged 60, the world has been blessed”, and the sacred and inviolable Darkhan Dynasty had been destroyed in everyone’s hearts. The rise and fall of the insurgents meant that the people at the bottom had begun to despise the imperial power.

Furthermore, the light of fire in the Luoyang Palace, the bloody slaughter of Dong Zhuo, the cold and detached dethroning of Young Emperor Liu Bian, the cruel poisoning of Empress Dowager He, all of these added up to the final kick to the fragile imperial power. When Dong Zhuo was coaxing Emperor to act out their puppet show in the palace, the world had already started boiling.

With the collapse of an old dynasty, it was time for social change. In the history of China, there had always been a few Hero and hero s who had reunited their country and established a new dynasty.

But this time, Yang Lin did not want this tragic history to repeat itself. He himself longed for freedom and did not want his descendants to live in this dark age. Therefore, he wanted to break this vicious circle, which was really the collapse of the Liu Han Dynasty, publicize the idea of freedom, and let the sun shine on China forever.

It was precisely because of the influence of Yang Lin’s Minor Illustration of the World’s Orders that Qiao Mao’s Three Duke Orders had already become intrinsically different from the Obedience Orders in history. The ultimate goal of oppressing Dong Zhuo was obviously not to let the scholars have sole authority, but to give the State County the power to elect their emperor.

Most of the officials of State County only discussed Qiao Mao’s three orders, these officials who followed the rules and regulations were still looking around, hesitating, and did not take any action. The moment Dong Zhuo regained his senses, he would have the Son of Heaven pass down an order, saying that if the prefecture were to raise their troops and rebel, they would have to bear the responsibility for the treason.

However, there were also some officials of State County who took an arrogant attitude. They did not raise their troops to cater to Dong Zhuo, nor did they formally send troops to suppress him. However, they had already rejected Dong Zhuo’s messenger, the imperial edict, and at the same time, they were recruiting their own County soldier to protect themselves.
