Days are everlasting

For Liu Bian, family affairs were not too important. After the harem had selected people, he also knew that the people he selected had both family background and good temper, so he let it go.

The important thing now is how to take back the power released by the late emperor, and get rid of those who have shown their ambitions represented by Dong Zhuo.

Alas, it is really a long way to go when you think about it carefully.

However, because Dong Zhuo's chaos did not occur, the imperial court's control over the local area has not been as low as in the Three Kingdoms era, and the authority of the emperor still exists.

In May of the first year of Tiansheng, Sikong Xun Shuang died of illness, and Dr. Guanglu Zhong Fu made him Sikong.

Liu Bian has the memory of his previous life, and as long as he thinks it is suitable for the candidate for the post, he will do it quickly without any delay.

When summarizing the memories of the previous life, Liu Bian thought of the induction of the law of dynasty change in later generations.

It takes about two or 300 years for a dynasty to go from prosperity to decline. Don't look at what the big Han said, "400 years, finally dedicated", but carefully discussed, the Eastern Han and Western Han are two dynasties.

In the last years of a dynasty, generally speaking, the dynasty is in ruins, and the emperors who were born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women are not very likely to become wise and powerful, and have the ability to turn the tide. Land annexation is serious, and it is often a sign of the end of the dynasty. The arrival of the Little Ice Age will make the social situation deteriorate sharply.

The so-called Little Ice Age will lead to a sharp drop in the earth's temperature and a sharp reduction in global food production, which will lead to violent social turmoil and a sharp drop in population. Does this scene look very familiar or deja vu?

It can be said that most of the dynasty changes in China can be matched with the arrival time of the Little Ice Age.

Unfortunately, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty happened to collide with the Little Ice Age, so the Great Han Dynasty was a tragedy.

And Liu Bian, who is in full bloom and should be able to live for decades without accidents, is the most critical emperor in this time period of the big man.

If he can lead the Han Dynasty successfully through this difficult time, great, in future history books, Liu Bian will be the "Lord of Zhongxing" who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

If he hadn't survived, Liu Bian said that he would not choose the option of the subjugated king, the subjugated king's brother, or the subjugated king's father.

How to divert domestic conflicts?

Liu Bian said that it is enough to focus on the outside world.

It is not only the Han people who live on this land, but also many other races. Although the big Han people have frightened them in the early years, isn't this a special period?

The Yellow Turban Rebellion erupted within the Han due to lack of social resources, not to mention those alien races who depended on the autumn wind for a living.

Liu Bian said, you are very good, let's keep the identity of the enemy of the big man, and when the big man is united, I will thank you silently in my heart.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo was in power, the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was already very small, because the princes rose everywhere, and the situation was very different from the original Yellow Turban period.

But in this period of time, the problems in various places lie in the aristocratic families, the state herdsmen and princes. The problems caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising itself are already small. Now that it has stabilized, it is no less than □□.

So, in June, Liu Bian spoke up, saying that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, so the state shepherd no longer needed to exist, right?It's a big deal, let's get it out if something goes wrong in the future!

In short, Liu Bian wanted to turn Zhou Mu back into the governor.

A clan like Yizhou Mu Liu Yan is okay, although he is in power now, as long as his surname is Liu, if he doesn't want to be labeled as a traitor who wants to plot rebellion, he can only be degraded miserably.

How did Liu Yan's prestige gather in the first place?Isn't it because he is the clan of the big man, and he has the blessing of the Liu surname halo!

If he dared to disobey the emperor's order, that's fine, and he would not want to be a sign of the elder of the clan.

The clan or the ministers who were originally loyal and loyal—here refers to the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian who was named Xuzhou Mu in the period of Emperor Xian in history—fortunately, they will still obey the orders of the imperial court. If the world is peaceful, On the contrary, the governor is safer than the state pastor who holds a lot of power.

However, Dong Zhuo was not very happy.

Compared with the governor, the state shepherd looks the same as the governor of the same state, but the state shepherd has far more control over the local area than the governor of the governor. If the governor is still a servant of the big man, then the governor of the state is like the emperor of a side.

Fortunately, the power of the great man is still there, and there are not many state shepherds who have been granted the title. The matter is still within the controllable range, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen.

State shepherds can have military power, but if they are reduced to governors, someone has to decentralize power.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who had been holding a heavy army before he was named Bingzhou Mu, was very conspicuous.

During Emperor Ling's reign, he obeyed and disobeyed the emperor's orders. The court wanted him to hand over his military power, but he tried every means to evade it, which was simply a wolfish ambition.

Coupled with Dong's special physical appearance, Liu Bian's mind immediately appeared the image of another famous traitor, that is An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty.

And Dong Zhuo's final death method is similar to An Lushan's, Liu Bian laughed when he thought about it.

The problem is, he laughed out of the court. At this time, the news from the lower newspaper happened to be that Dong Zhuo, the shepherd of Bingzhou, refused to obey the order.

Ever since, Liu Bian's smile was interpreted as an angry smile.

The princes of the court themselves did not like Dong Zhuo, so at this time, they would not speak well of Dong Zhuo, a rebellious minister.

Dong Zhuo was a military general. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court already had the appearance of a hotbed of noble families. Civil servants looked down on many generals, unless those people were from aristocratic families, such as Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Yuan family in Runan.

If the background is not enough, the appearance is good enough, or the popularity is good enough, then the court officials will not have any dislike for this person, but Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with these things.

He respects celebrities, but none of them are willing to be with them. In addition, he has disobeyed the emperor's orders and has always supported himself. His ambition is self-evident, and no one will like him.

After Dong Zhuo resisted and disrespected the decree, Liu Bian issued a second imperial decree.

If Liu Bian only aimed at Dong Zhuo and let him easily hand over his power without giving sufficient compensation, although everyone is now filled with righteous indignation towards this "rebellious minister and thief", it is inevitable that they will pity him later, Liu Bian is not willing to happen For such a thing, if others say that he "will be punished without teaching", then Dong Zhuo can only be given another chance.

Before Emperor Ling appointed Dong Zhuo as Bingzhou Mu, in order to deprive him of military power, he called him to Beijing as a young mansion—this is an official with no real power—but Dong Zhuo naturally refused.

Since Dong Zhuo was unwilling to enter the central government, Liu Bian didn't make things difficult for him, but just redesignated him as the governor of Yangzhou, and he was not allowed to bring too many troops to the post.

The area in Yangzhou was later the territory of Soochow Wu. Now Sun Ce's father is not in the limelight, let alone the bully Sun Bofu.

This means that the aristocratic family in Yangzhou has not yet passed through Sun Ce's "troubled hands" and has not been uprooted.

The power of the aristocratic family there is still very strong.

This was originally an annoying thing, but Liu Bian, who had seen the most powerful Jin Dynasty, was fearless.

Many people know the situation in Yangzhou. Officials from aristocratic families are better off, and the clan can also use the name of the old Liu family to unite. Liu Biao, who entered Jingzhou alone, has historically stood in Jingzhou like this. Steady heels——However, a martial artist like Dong Zhuo with insufficient background and some notoriety is the most rejected by the aristocratic family.

Dong Zhuo did not accept the order.

The second time, this is the second time he disobeyed the edict and disrespected, and coupled with his "bad deeds" in the last years of Emperor Ling, it seems that there is no need to collect evidence to prove Dong Zhuo's wolf ambitions, and Dong Zhuo can be convicted.

Liu Bian chose Dong Zhuo's "predecessor". Before Dong Zhuo was promoted to Bingzhou Mu, Ding Yuan, who was the governor of Bingzhou and now the captain of Wumeng, asked him to pay attention to Dong Zhuo. At the same time, he appointed Lu Bu and ordered him to lead the army.

Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's adoptive son, and Ding Yuan appointed Lu Bu as the master, and he valued him very much.

Lu Bu is a young general. Some people may say that Ding Yuan appointed him as a civil servant to suppress him deliberately, but many people think that this is the performance of Ding Yuan who values ​​Lu Bu.

The chief secretary sits in the Chinese army and fights the enemy bravely on the front line. He can only be a general. By serving as the chief secretary, he can be trained to be a handsome talent if he understands the dispatching of the Chinese army and the abilities of each general.

It's a pity that Lu Bu doesn't like to think, but loves to fight the enemy bravely. It can be said that he is a pure military commander. Ding Yuan has always put him in the position of a civil servant. From Lu Bu's point of view, this will greatly delay his future and talent.

When Liu Bian made the decree, he actually mentioned Lu Bu specifically. It can be said that this is proof that he values ​​Lu Bu.

Even Ding Yuan made it clear to Lu Bu that if Dong Zhuo made any changes and Lu Bu could make contributions in this battle, the future would be limitless.

What Liu Bian issued was a secret decree, and he did not directly invent written instructions, but after Dong Zhuo rebelled, it would become a clear decree.

Lv Bu was expecting Dong Zhuo to be disrespectful, so that he could show his loyalty to the emperor!

Liu Yan and the others were relegated from state shepherd to governor, and they are also waiting to see who will win the state shepherd Dong Zhuo or the emperor. If Dong Zhuo wins, there may be a different result. If the emperor wins, then they have to win I have worked hard for the eternity of the Han Dynasty.

So Dong Zhuo lived up to everyone's expectations...and raised his army.

The author has something to say: Dong Zhuo: I agreed that my avatar is the Great Demon King, so everyone is afraid of it?Director, the script is wrong!

Ah Bian: The script is okay, you are a cannon fodder, as a stepping stone for me to establish the authority of the emperor, no problem!

Dong Zhuo: Director, I protest, this year's emperor does not follow the script!

Ah Bian: Oh, this Dong Zhuo is no good, he is not professional at all.Anyway, they are all getting bento boxes, and the result is the same, so what are you talking about!

Dong Zhuo: Blame me?
