At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

do you know?Lu Gong was originally the Shaofu Shangshuling, who was in charge of the Shangshutai alone. This time, he was promoted to the Grand Master, and he was in charge of the Shangshutai together with Yuan Taifu. This is clearly a secret promotion!Yuan Taifu wants to control the government alone! "

Cao Cao shook his head nervously: "That's it, if Yuncheng and the old troops of the Great General and the Chariot General don't want to join Dong Zhuo, they may have to be expelled. I am safe and sound because of my relationship with Yuan Benchu."

"Brother, what do you mean to say that Dong Zhuo's role as Sikong is a move by Yuan Taifu to take charge of the government?"

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes: "Dong Zhuo was called into Luoyang because Yuan Taifu needs to use Dong Zhuo to take over the military power and incorporate the old general's department as his reliance in ruling?"

Guo Peng's words hit the nail on the head.

"exactly!"

Bao Xin said nervously: "The old generals who did not join Dong Zhuo, such as me, did not get any positions, while Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang both got positions, and they were promoted to rank."

Guo Peng took a deep breath.

"Jun Bao suspects that the deaths of the General and General Cheqi are related to Yuan Taifu?"

Cao Cao also looked at Bao Xin.

"Even if it's irrelevant, it's Yuan Shi who gets the most benefit. They're starting to reject dissidents. How can we not make more plans for ourselves? General, you have military power in your hands, so be careful of Yuan Shi's actions against you. "

After listening to what Bao Xin said, Guo Peng has already cleared up the whole matter, including the context of Dong Zhuo's turning against customers.

It turns out that this is the truth of the matter.

Let’s just say that Dong Zhuo, a border general with no foundation in the capital, dared to abolish the emperor just after he became Sikong and entered the capital for three days, before he had time to expand the army, and the military power in his hands totaled more than 1. This is too hasty, right? ?

Those seniors like Yiyin Huoguang who have been cultivating the imperial capital for countless years and whose disciples are all over the imperial capital are afraid that they will cry.

Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo is a good chess piece, right?

My chess piece should also be useful, right?

It is okay to treat a person with his own thinking as a pawn without thinking, as long as you prepare a backhand to prevent his backlash.

And you didn't, or you didn't do enough.

Guo Peng sneered secretly.

"Right now, apart from Dong Zhuo, only Yuan Gonglu and Ding Jianyang hold the military power in Luoyang City. Among them, Ding Jianyang is the old general. If something happens to Ding Jianyang, you must think about yourself, General."

Bao Xin reminded Guo Peng again.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be reminded by Bao Xin, Guo Peng, who has clairvoyance, already knew about it.

The Yuan family of four generations and three fathers wanted to push the power of the family to the peak in this chaos, but ended up overturning.

It's hard to say whose fault it was, it can only be said that Yuan Kai was too confident in himself, and even after thinking about it, he never thought that Dong Zhuo could come from behind and turn his back on customers.

He believed too much in his own power and ignored Dong Zhuo's.

Therefore, people who do not play cards according to the routine are definitely annoying, and it is easy to surprise people.

"Yes, Dong Zhuo is an old official of the Yuan family through and through. He has no other backers in Luoyang and has to rely on Yuan Taifu, but I am different. I also have Lu Gong as my teacher. Although I have a good relationship with Yuan Gonglu, I can't be counted as them after all. own people."

Guo Peng was silent for a while, and then said again: "It seems that Luoyang is not a place where you can stay for a long time, and my staying in Luoyang may make some people unhappy."

Cao Cao nodded and had to admit that Guo Peng was right.

"That Zifeng, what are you going to do?"

"Ask Yuan Gonglu for help. Ask for it and release it. I have soldiers and horses. It's better to ask for it and leave than to be forced to leave."

Guo Peng looked at Cao Cao and Bao Xin: "Mr. Bao, you have a recruited army. Although the number is small, it is still very dangerous. It is best to leave with me."

Bao Xin nodded: "I think so too."

"Brother, what about you?"

"I don't have military power in my hands, so I can't be a hindrance to the Yuan family, and Zifeng, you must have someone to run for you in Luoyang, right?"

Cao Cao smiled helplessly: "We are a family, and there must be one person in Luoyang."

Guo Peng pursed his lips, and held Cao Cao's hand tightly: "If I succeed in obtaining a foreign release, if the situation in Luoyang changes, the eldest brother must come to me immediately, don't hesitate."

"I hope Luo Yang won't change."

Cao Cao nodded: "But if something really happens, I will."

"it is good."

Guo Peng also nodded.

At the same time, Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo were having an extremely secret conversation in Yuan Wei's study.

From Dong Zhuo's extremely surprised expression, it can be seen that what they are talking about is not a trivial matter.

This is indeed no small matter.

"Yuan Gong, abolishing the emperor is a huge matter. If you are not careful, you will die and your family will be destroyed. Yuan Gong, shouldn't this matter be more cautious?"

When Dong Zhuo heard Yuan Kai say that he had the heart to abolish Li and planned to abolish the emperor, he was frightened out of his wits.

With the conscience of heaven and earth, Old Dong really never thought about abolishing the emperor.

Thinking about what you are in what position, it is the so-called butt that determines the head.

Before that, Old Dong was just a frontier general, a Bingzhou pastor who resigned before taking office. He had never served as a high-ranking official in the central government system, nor did he have any influence. The emperor was far away from him.

This time, he was able to get the position of Sikong and realize his long-cherished wish for many years. Old Dong didn't know how happy he was.

He Jin and He Miao's former minions came to vote one after another because he was Sikong and held the military power in Luoyang. He was feeling full of ambition and planned to enjoy the glory and wealth that he had coveted for many years.

As a result, Yuan Kai called him quietly, and actually discussed with him about the abolition of the establishment.

Old Dong felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

Abolishing and establishing an emperor is not a child's game, Mr. Yuan, is it too much for you to play?

"Such a great opportunity, if you can't seize it, the efforts Yuan made before will be in vain."

Yuan Kai said lightly, as if he was talking about some parents' shortcomings.

"This... Dare to ask Yuan Gong, why? It was only fourteen months ago last year, and it was only four months since he was enthroned. He did nothing, and He Jin and He Miao are all dead. From now on, this court will be Yuan Gong's court. Why did you abolish his throne?"

Dong Zhuo asked cautiously.

"Of course it's because of his mother clan."

Yuan Kai squinted his eyes and said slowly: "His mother clan is the Queen Mother He. Although He Jin and He Miao are dead, the He family is still there. The He family not only has two males, He Jin and He Miao, as long as she The name of the queen mother is still there, so she can choose He's children to enter Beijing again, and once again establish the power of her relatives.

Even if there is no one in the He family, and there is still Lord Wuyang's Zhu family, we finally took this opportunity to eradicate the power of eunuchs and relatives in one fell swoop. Are we going to watch the relatives rise again and step on our heads? "

"So you mean..."

Dong Zhuo asked cautiously.

"Abolish Liu Bian and establish Liu Xie."

Yuan Kai said in a low voice: "Thanks to that fool He Jin, he wiped out the power of Dong's clan. Liu Xiesheng's mother Wang Meiren died early, and there is no other power in the family. Liu Xie has no mother clan, so naturally he cannot win over his relatives. He is alone. , nine-year-old doll, when the time comes, won't we have the final say in the court?"

"I see."

Dong Zhuo nodded in amazement, feeling as if a door to a new world had opened before his eyes.

"However, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. We have recruited many people before, but there must still be people who will oppose it. Therefore, I will promote you to be Sikong, let you lead troops into the city, and incorporate He Jin and He Miao's old troops. .

At that time, based on your army and horses, no one can stop us when we propose the abolition of the establishment. When Liu Xie ascends the throne, Zhong Ying, you are a great hero. Even if you are a prince of ten thousand households, is it still difficult?Is it difficult for you to think about it? "

Dong Zhuo nodded with a face full of enlightenment.

Countless thoughts flashed through that huge head in an instant.

"But right now, it seems that I am not the only one who controls the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City."

"Well, I know that in addition to the Huben Forbidden Army on the highway, there are also Bingzhou soldiers from Ding Yuan, and Guo Peng's Youzhou soldiers."

Yuan Kui said slowly: "Naturally, there is no need to say much about Gonglu. Although Guo Peng regards Lu Zhi as his teacher, he has a close relationship with Gonglu. Leaving aside, the biggest threat to us right now is Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers. The Queen Mother should I also have ideas about this army, Zhong Ying, do you know what to do?"

Chapter 190 Let me go to Qingzhou

When Yuan Kai said this, Dong Zhuo thought for a while.

"Yuan Gong means, I think of a way to annex Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers?"

"Well, there are many ways to do this. With your current status as Sikong, although you can win over some famous people under Ding Yuan's command, buy him and let him work for you, you can even directly kill Ding Yuan and annex his subordinates. That way, there's no threat."

Yuan Kai called Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo nodded slowly, as if he had learned a lot.

"Ding Yuan is actually not difficult to deal with. He is from He Jin's old department. He has no other support in the court. He should be in constant panic now. The one who is really difficult to deal with is Guo Peng."

When Yuan Kai said this, Dong Zhuo was puzzled again: "Didn't you say that Guo Peng is a good friend of the road?"

"A friend is a friend, but he is not an old official of my family. Instead, he is closer to Lu Zhi. With Guo Peng as his backing, Lu Zhi can compete with me."

Yuan Kui frowned and thought for a while: "I knew I shouldn't have asked Gonglu to call Guo Peng in the first place. Forget it, Zhong Ying, you go and find a way to get rid of Ding Yuan first, and then I'll find a way to get rid of Guo Peng. Remember Hold on, act quickly, and don't give the queen mother a chance to recruit new relatives into the court."

"Yes."

After Dong Zhuo took Yuan Wei's order, he found his younger brother Dong Min overnight and asked him about the specific situation of Ding Yuan's army.

"Ding Yuan has a master under his command named Lu Bu. He is extremely brave and very brave. His prestige in Ding Yuan's army is second only to Ding Yuan's. Ding Yuan also trusts him very much, but I don't think he is a loyal man. If brother wants to deal with Ding Yuan, he can start with Lu Bu."

Dong Zhuo listened to Dong Min's words, nodded slowly, then thought for a while, and said: "You go to see Lu Bu, discuss this matter with him, check his tone, and see if it is possible."

"Yes."

Dong Min nodded.

Early the next morning, Guo Peng didn't have time to meet other people, so he ran directly to Yuan Shu's place to look for Yuan Shu.

If the prediction is good, now is the best time to seek benefits, because Yuan Wei is also racing against time, and Yuan Wei is absolutely happy to see the results if he asks for it at this time.

"Zifeng came to see me early in the morning, why?"

Seeing Guo Peng coming early in the morning, Yuan Shu found it strange.

Guo Peng said slowly: "Actually, I have something important to ask for help from Gonglu."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "We have been friends for many years, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's actually like this, Gonglu. I was named General Zuo, but I didn't have much meritorious service. Because of this, I feel uneasy. I didn't sleep well last night. I thought, can you please replace me?" Ask the Taifu to be released as an official in another place, and accumulate political achievements and experience, so as to convince the public."

Guo Peng said his request.

Yuan Shu felt strange when he heard the high-sounding words.

"Zifeng, we have been friends for so many years, do you still want to say these official things to me?"

As soon as Yuan Shu said it, Guo Peng laughed embarrassingly.

"You can't hide it from Gonglu, that's all, I'll tell you the truth, Gonglu, you know that after the chaos subsided, the Tai Tuo was obviously the number one hero of the Manchu Dynasty, and I, I was recruited by the old general He Jin to solve the eunuch's affairs .

But now that the eunuch has been exterminated, I have no reason to continue to stay in the capital with my troops. If I continue to stay here, I am worried that someone will say something unfavorable to me and make the Grand Tutor unhappy. If you want to drive me away, I might as well leave now. "

When Guo Peng said this, Yuan Shu felt a little embarrassed.

In the current situation, Yuan's dictatorship cannot escape, and Guo Peng's worries are not unreasonable.

"Zifeng, don't worry, with me here, no one dares to say that about you!"

"It's not such a question. It's related to the overall situation of the government. I'm not an old official of the Yuan family. Gonglu, I don't want to embarrass you."

Guo Peng held Yuan Shu's hand emotionally: "Instead of becoming troublesome and embarrassing you, it's better for me to go now."

"This……"

Yuan Shu seemed to be a little bit reluctant.

"I'm outside, maybe it will be more meaningful than being in the capital."
