Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 636
The shocking changes in the palace caused the atmosphere in Luoyang City to suddenly become tense, and then the news spread to all directions. Since the Taiping Army broke through Luoyang, endless shocking news came, which almost made the whole world numb.

The first to receive the news was of course the Guandong, which is closer to Luoyang, where the five surnames are Marquis, Confucian scholars, and prefectures and counties.

It is said that after the five surnamed Liehou returned to Kanto, they returned to the Hou country separately to wipe out the bandits. Fortunately, the Taiping Army attacked Luoyang all the way west, which made their pressure loss much smaller.

The land of five states is being suppressed step by step. After Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others escaped, they also joined in, mainly to strengthen their strength.

It is said that although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, their family positions are completely different. Yuan Shu directly returned to Runan County, the headquarters of the Yuan family, which is one of the counties with the largest population of the Han Dynasty, even more than the population of some states.

Yuan Shao did not have the status of Yuan Shu, and could not get too much input from the family in terms of materials. What the Yuan family gave Yuan Shao was mainly support at the level of false fame.

Yuan Shu headed south, so he headed north. It happened that too many governors and prefects died in a battle with the Taiping army. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and his general Pan Feng died in the hands of Zhang Jiao. Yuan Shao had a chance.

Yuan Shao originally only wanted to be a prefect, but Bie Jia, a member of the noble family in Hebei, invited him to go to Jizhou to serve as the governor, which made Yuan Shao very excited.

If he is just a governor, he may not be able to compare with the prefect, but now he is said to be a governor, if he is assisted by others, he is actually a state shepherd!
Here I have to mention why the status of the gentry is high.

Because in a state and county, the highest is naturally the state shepherd or prefect, but it is impossible for one person to rule a state and a county.

Coupled with the requirements of the Three Mutual Laws, locals cannot be the highest officials. Even an independent husband like Lingdi gave Dong Zhuo a fake Liangzhou shepherd, which did not violate this political iron law.

In this case, in order to protect the local interests of the local gentry, the most prestigious person in the state and county gentry will serve as the assistant official of the state shepherd and prefect, just like the prime minister of the emperor, assisting foreign officials to rule the local area, naturally Power and status are extremely high.

The prefect and prefect are changed every few years, and the chief officer is a wealthy family for many years. It is obvious what the result will be.

The origins of these wealthy families are quite complicated, and many of them can even be traced back to the Six Kingdoms era. Since the country’s decline, the main branch of the Han Dynasty has been continuously relocated, but the local branch still remains, with books and knowledge, which can make them Redeveloped again and again.

Hebei mainly refers to Jizhou.

Because it is close to Zhaocheng, compared with other prefectures, it is more convenient to study here, which leads to a large number of scholars, and is greatly influenced by the Luo family, which in turn forms a huge force of the gentry. Not to mention other aspects, just how to maintain their own status, The practice of pinching the outstanding seedlings of poor families with extremely thorough learning was promoted by the Hebei gentry.

Why Huangfusong dared to assert before that as long as the gentry of the states and counties rise up, the Taiping Army will inevitably fail. It is because half of the world's resources are in the hands of the gentry and the tyrants. As long as these gentry are released, it will be easy to quell the peasant uprising.

Without the support of the gentry, even if there are soldiers who are nothing more than rogues, as long as the gentry defend the city, the warlords who are hungry for ten days and a half months who try to rely on force will obediently cooperate with them.

Yuan Shao was able to be welcomed by the nobles in Hebei, which was regarded as a big bargain.

Han Fu was able to be the governor of Jizhou not because of his ability, but because of his family power. He is a prominent family in Yingchuan. to assist him.

The gentry in Hebei did not reject him either. For example, talents from a rich family like Jushou were pushed out to assist him.

As a result, before Tianhu died violently at the beginning, Jizhou was suddenly without an owner. The world cannot be without an owner for a day, and the same is true among states and counties.

Among the many times in the world, there are very few people with this prestige.

At the beginning, Qin Wangjun had a total of four allies, Huangfu Song died, Wushuanghou and Yinghou were both sons of the Luo family, so they could not be the governor of Jizhou.

Only Yuan Shao was left.

After Yuan Shaocong encountered an ambush and nearly wiped out the entire army, he was not even a bit depressed. Instead, he worked hard to cheer up the situation. What he said and did was remarkable, and he basically did his best.

All these were seen by the Hebei gentry, and they thought this was a perfect partner for cooperation. Those who followed Han Fu and came from Yingchuan also had no objection.

So this overwhelming wealth fell on Yuan Shao's head.

Of course Yuan Shao knew very well that Jizhou was a place of right and wrong. As the number one state in the world, the affairs in it were extremely complicated and required extremely high skills.

But he is not a person who is afraid to move forward. After thinking for a while, he accepted the invitation decisively.

At the border of Jizhou, Ju Shou led all the civil and military officials of Jizhou to welcome Yuan Shao, and the momentum was quite large.

Jushou and others personally helped Yuan Shao onto the horse, and then entered the city of Ye, the seat of Jizhou.

Yuan Shao, who just came to Jizhou, naturally doesn't have much power, and to put it bluntly, there are really many talents in the Hebei gentry, and with the top-level talent of Wang Zuozhi like Jushou, even if a pig who can only speak right is put in Above, Jizhou will not have any problems.

But Yuan Shao was obviously unwilling to become a puppet. Under the heavy pressure of the Hebei gentry and the unpredictable world situation, he showed all the excellent qualities that a British lord should possess.

No matter whether it is the gentry of Hebei or the people of Yingchuan, in the face of Yuan Shao who is always in a state of super God, he can only sigh with emotion, there are no men in vain under the great name, and Yuan Benchu's reputation is really well-deserved. The lord, not just the idea of ​​cooperating with Han Fu at the beginning.

The first thing that spread to Jizhou was the news that Emperor Ling had been given a posthumous title. In Yecheng, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao understood that it was difficult for these people to open their mouths. After all, they were all officials, and he was the only prince who directly obeyed orders.

Yuan Shao was not afraid that he might say something wrong, as a lord, he had to take responsibility, and if his subordinates felt embarrassing, he had to face up to the difficulties, so he said directly: "This posthumous title has been confirmed by the Su King, and the name of the only husband is already Confirmed, all subsequent words and actions must be based on this."

Everyone nodded slowly. It is not easy to become a single husband. Why don't so many people rebel under the banner of punishing a single husband, because no one is sure that they can really give the emperor a bad posthumous posthumous title.

As a result, Emperor Ling got it like this now, and the word filial piety was not even added to the posthumous title. In the Han Dynasty, the emperor's posthumous title did not have the word filial piety, that is, Emperor Li and the Emperor Mourning who could have children but did not have children. , It can be said that he has lost the face of his ancestors.

Ju Shou said slowly: "Now that Emperor Ling has become an independent husband, he can no longer treat the Taiping Army as bandits.

But I don't know what to do after the first corner, and I don't know if Jizhou can withstand the next offensive of the Taiping Army. "

Yuan Shao's expression froze suddenly, recalling Zhang Jiao's invincible figure again, he quickly shook his head and threw out all those complicated thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Now Emperor Ling hangs himself, Wu Shuanghou takes Prince Bian and Prince Xie to go Fleeing to the west, what kind of posture should we maintain?"

Yuan Shao's question immediately shocked everyone. No one knows whether the big man can be ordered again, but at least now, with Emperor Ling losing the emperor's crown before his death, there is no emperor in the world now. !
Someone asked tremblingly: "When was the last time there was no emperor in the world?"

"The last time was at the end of the Han Dynasty, and finally Emperor Guangwu was ordered. The last time was at the end of Qin Dynasty, and King Xiang was finally ordered. The last time was Zhou Huai Wang Luoyang died. There was no emperor in the world until the first emperor was ordered."

There are only three times in this world that there is no emperor!

Everyone gasped. It feels good if this kind of thing is not said. Once it is said, everyone realizes that the Houhan has come to the end of the year.

In this era, it is really possible to clearly know whether the dynasty has come to its end, because the sign of the loss of the destiny is really obvious.

"Zhang Jiao won't take orders directly!"

No one said it, but this idea appeared in everyone's mind, including Yuan Shao.

At this moment, another messenger came in hastily, and there was news from Luoyang. Yuan Shao recognized at a glance that they were members of his family. Only the most urgent news would be conveyed in this way. It was Yuan who stayed in Luoyang. Did you find out something big?
Yuan Shao hastily opened the letter and read it. He was startled, and then overjoyed. He quickly distributed it to everyone and said, "Zhang Jiao has ascended to heaven!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and some anxious people even got up and left their seats to gather together to watch. The news really shocked them. The letter described Zhang Jiao's deeds in detail.

Those miraculous scenes surprised everyone, but the most important thing is that whether Zhang Jiao really ascended to heaven or passed away, he is no longer in the world, and the biggest obstacle disappeared like this.

Just now I was worried about whether Zhang Jiao had already been ordered, but now I got the news of Zhang Jiao's death, which brought everyone a big surprise.

The hall is full of talented people, and someone immediately thought, "My lord, doesn't this mean that Luoyang is empty now? There is no master in the world?"

There is no master in the world!

This is the most critical point. The brains of these Wang Zuozhi are not comparable to that of Empress He and the commanders of Taipingdao. With the wisdom of these people, they can almost immediately see that under the situation of no one in the world, The Han flag is the only thing available for now.

And as long as you don't want to use it, you can throw it away at any time. After all, the Han Dynasty only has political significance, but no sacred significance.

You are not ordered by the sky, but I am the one who is ordered by the sky. Even if you are the emperor, but I am the emperor, and I will depose you as the emperor as the emperor. Who can say that it is wrong?
Xun Chen excitedly said: "My lord, Marquis Wushuang took away Prince Bian and Prince Xie, but Empress He and Prince He are still in Luoyang City. If we can enter Luoyang City to preside over the overall situation, the scene of the world will be changed. "

The biggest problem for Liu Bian and Liu Xie now is that they are not in Luoyang City. This has caused many people to only focus on Liu He. Wang Yun and Queen He are like this. Only Liu He is by his side and can only support Liu He. combine.

Ju Shou was thinking about the key point. Luoyang was in Henan County. To enter Luoyang from Jizhou, at least one had to enter Hanoi County, and one had to cross a big river. It was relatively far away, which was not beneficial to the Hebei gentry.

What the gentry in Hebei hoped was to move the capital of the world to Yecheng, but it is indeed a good thing to enter Luoyang now. It is very beneficial to the power to control at least one prince. Thinking of this, Ju Shou bowed and said: "Ming Lord, Luoyang is the place of the Four Wars, if you want to enter Luoyang, the power of Hebei may not be fully exerted, if you can bring Empress He and the prince to Hebei, it may be a better way."

Yuan Shao fell into silence when he heard the words. He was somewhat obsessed with going to Luoyang, and going to Luoyang could grab a lot of political benefits, which he couldn't give up.

But now Jizhou is the foundation. If Empress He, soon to be Empress Dowager He, and the prince are brought to Hebei, a group of courtiers will inevitably come here as well.

He has not gained a firm foothold yet, and the gentry in Hebei have not completely subdued him. For example, Jushou has not yet called himself the Lord, but Minggong, which means that Jushou has not fully recognized himself.

If these two more orthodox political figures are introduced at this time, whether there are advantages or disadvantages is a muddle.

Yuan Shao pondered, and everyone waited quietly. The lord can be less strategic, but he must be good at making decisions. Yuan Shao, the super god, does not lack any advantages.

"Gentlemen, Luoyang must go, but now Jizhou has not fully recovered, and only a small number of troops can be drawn out. If we can reach an agreement with Commander Qu of the Taiping Army, it may help us succeed.

Qu Shuai of the Taiping Army left Luoyang one after another before. These people have no higher intentions, and they are the ones we can cooperate with. "

The Taiping Army scattered all over the place has become a favorite in the eyes of these people. These people not only have combat effectiveness, but they have completely lost Zhang Jiao who dominates everything. I am afraid that it is the time for panic and guilt. At this time, they throw an olive branch to the Taiping Army. Incorporating these people into normal society, I am afraid it will be easy to accept.

"The biggest problem is how to convince these Taiping soldiers that we really want to accept them instead of deceiving them?"

After all, the two sides were still enemies not long ago, and it sounds strange to suddenly recruit these people.

Yuan Shao looked at the contemplative crowd, stood up and looked around and said loudly: "I will personally go to persuade you to surrender!"

Everyone was shocked and said in unison: "My lord, don't!"

Yuan Shao said again: "Wealth and wealth are in danger! Yan Liang, Wen Chou guards by his side, I don't have to worry about it!"

Yan Liangwenchou came out and knelt down, "Defend the lord with death!"
