In October of the second year of Zhongping, in the golden autumn season, Liu Bei married Cao Ren's sister.
Because of Liu Bei's special status, as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, he could not return to his hometown of Youzhou to get married, nor could he go to Qiao County, the ancestral home of the Cao family, to get married, so he could only stay in Luoyang.
Yuan Ji once advised Liu Bei to invite his old mother and clan members to Luoyang to attend their wedding.
But Liu Bei did not agree. He explained to Yuan Ji that his mother was in poor health, and the distance between Luoyang and Zhuojun in Youzhou was too far. Nowadays, there are groups of bandits all over the Han Dynasty, especially in Hebei, Taihang Mountains and Heishan Mountains.
There are too many thieves and there are dangers everywhere. It is better not to let my mother and Liu family come here.
Although no one from the Liu family in Zhuo County came to bless Liu Bei's wedding, he received many gifts, especially from his younger brother Liu Jian, who traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to send heavy gifts to congratulate Liu Bei on his wedding.
At the same time, Liu Jian wrote a letter in his own hand and ordered it to be delivered to Liu Bei.
There were only four simple words on it.
"Brother, hard work."
After seeing the letter sent by Liu Jian, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but become a little moist.
Although there were only four simple words, it proved that Liu Jian understood him very well.
Later, Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji summoned Xu Xiang and Fan Ling to the capital, formulated charges and executed them both.
Therefore, Yuan Ji personally came forward to hold talks with Yang Biao and offered Yang Biao as a guard in exchange. In this reshuffle of the court, a group of famous Kansai men were replaced to take up important positions in the court.
But as an emperor, he can be said to have failed and cannot fail again.
Because the power of He Jin and the eunuchs, who were relatives, was much weaker than that of the well-dressed men headed by the Yuan family.
Subsequently, the Yuan family began to reorganize their arrangements in the court.
As soon as Liu Hong died, great changes took place in the government and the public.
Liu Hong in history lived four full years longer than he does now, reaching the age of thirty-two.
As for Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo, who replaced Zhang Wen in Liangzhou, was also rewarded by the imperial court.
Therefore, even if he became a general, he never thought about using imperial power to give himself the ability to check and balance the nobles.
Once He Jin compromised, the balance of power in the entire imperial court would tilt towards the side of the nobles.
Emperor Liu Hong finally died of illness at the age of twenty-eight.
There are still many ministers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty but not to the Yuan Dynasty.
The imperial court granted Dong Zhuo the title of Marquis of Zhuxiang and granted him a fief of 1,000 households.
On the contrary, the eunuchs became isolated people.
In fact, except for Liu Hong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and the eunuchs who were extremely dependent on Liu Hong, no one in the country felt sad about Liu Hong's death.
But He Jin was different from others. Although he looked straightforward and heroic on the outside, he was actually a coward in his heart.
The Chancery finally fell into the hands of a prominent family again.
He chose to compromise and cooperate with the nobles.
After a lot of rectification and division of power, it was finally possible to clearly divide the authority and interests.
He just called Dong Min over to discuss the current matter with him.
But these are just the surface.
Now, all of a sudden, there is a Taifu, a Sangong, and three state shepherds!
Liu Hong implemented the party's policy of imprisonment for more than ten years, and the scholars all over the world hated him with hatred. When Liu Hong died, the nobles in various counties were almost too happy to express their joy. How could they mourn him?
When Liu Hong was alive, his ability to govern was very average. There was a sharp increase in refugees in various states, the Yellow Turban uprising, and rebellions were increasing day by day. The common people at the bottom had no good impression of the emperor at all.
In this process of changing emperors and dividing power, He Jin and the Yuan family had an absolute advantage.
In this way, the Liu family in Zhuo County and the Cao family in Qiao County became a married family.
The Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third Duke, had a prominent family background.
Queen He and He Jin wished Liu Hong would die early so that he could take over the power!
In this world, except for his mother and eunuchs, who will miss Liu Hong?
No, really not one.
"Second brother, now you have become outstanding and completely prosperous. Our brothers' long-cherished wish for many years was unexpectedly fulfilled at this age. It is not easy."
When the emperor died, the whole country mourned, all happy things stopped, and the whole country was in mourning.
General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei participated in the records of Shangshu!
There is no doubt that the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne as emperor, but because the emperor was young, the affairs of the court were left to the general He Jin and Yuan Wei, who was promoted to the imperial tutor.
The Yuan family's three state shepherds were finally decided.
I don’t know whether Liu Jian’s time travel is a blessing or a misfortune for Liu Hong.
Living in Nanyang County, although he came from a wealthy butcher family, he had a mysterious admiration for those high-ranking noble families since childhood.
In addition, in order to appease Huangfu Song who was stationed in Fufeng, he was appointed General of the Left.
In fact, in a sense, He Jin should be on the same line as the eunuchs.
Dong Zhuo was not too proud after receiving the reward from the court.
But the problem is that today's imperial power has gradually weakened, and the power of the gentry is unprecedentedly strong.
The popularity was unprecedented, and no one could compare with his family.
Even the Yuan family's sudden emergence of three state pastors caused a wave of criticism in the court.
But even so, the Yuan family currently feels a certain amount of pressure.
Later, Yuan Ji was promoted to Situ and ranked among the three princes.
The reason why these two people were killed was because these two people were representatives of the scholars who had defected to Liu Hong. Killing these two people could deter those scholars who defected to the imperial power.
After hearing that Dong Zhuo was conferred the title of Marquis, Dong Minque was very excited, even more excited than Dong Zhuo himself.
For a time, many memorials opposing the selection of three members of the Yuan family as state pastors flooded into the Shangshu Desk.
As a conspirator and a businessman, Liu Hong was very successful.
In fact, there are many disciples and former officials of the Yuan family in the court, but this does not mean that everyone in the court is from the Yuan family.
But the problem is that now that Yuan Wei and He Jin have recorded the affairs of the ministers together, these memorials have naturally been suppressed.
After all, their power comes from the imperial power. Now that the emperor is young, He Jin should take this opportunity to join forces with the eunuchs to safeguard the power of his nephew, and at the same time use himself as his nephew's representative to check and balance the noble clan.
As for He Jin, the eunuchs and the young emperor, who also belonged to the extension of imperial power, were in an extremely embarrassing situation.
But Liu Bei's wedding had just ended when a big event happened in Luoyang City, which put an end to all the joyous events.
First of all, it is naturally the position of state pastor that the Yuan family has long stolen.
When Liu Hong was alive, he indulged in drinking and sex, and rarely got close to his sons. The two princes had almost no sense of dependence on their father.
Dong Zhuo laughed: "The matter has not reached the end, so we cannot make any conclusions. What is the situation of the rebels in Liangzhou?"
"In recent days, Huang Zhong's troops have been attacking the rebel Qiang very fiercely. If this continues, sooner or later the rebel forces on the western front will be completely defeated."
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said: "Let Huang Zhong take a moment first. Don't attack too hastily. The longer the war in Liangzhou is delayed, the better it will be for us. The Yuan family is currently in the limelight in Luoyang and they are arrogant. We
Prolong the war here a little longer, ask them for more food and pay, and expand their troops. Sooner or later, I will show the world that the one who can rule the world is not just the Yuan family of Runan."
The third one is more likely to be later. I am working overtime at work.
