The person who said this was Wang Yun, the current servant of the court.
As the leader of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Yun is indeed very famous among the local wealthy families in Bingzhou.
Before he entered the court and became an official, he also held important positions in the armies of various states. Since the Wang family in Taiyuan has been an official for many generations, Wang Yun has always been highly used in various places. He also held the position of Fang Bo in a state.
Sit on.
In fact, many people have a misunderstanding about Wang Yun, thinking that he is a deceitful Confucian scholar who is good at plotting and plotting against people behind their backs.
He was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and grew up in a state of war and chaos.
Since ancient times, there has never been any son of the nobles and nobles in Bingzhou who is not good at martial arts and military affairs.
This is just like a son born into a fisherman's family, basically there is no way he can't swim.
Wang Yun had previously fought with Huangfu Song in the Yellow Turban War. Although he could not be said to have killed all parties, he could still be considered to have accomplished a lot of meritorious deeds.
During the battle, Wang Yun personally went into battle and showed off his skills, killing many Yellow Turban soldiers before the battle.
Later, when Huangfu Song surrendered to the Yellow Turban Rebel Army and built a Beijing temple, Wang Yun was also there.
It is said that at that time, Wang Yun did not dissuade Huangfu Song from committing the killing, but instead actively encouraged Huangfu Song to do it.
As a member of a prominent family who grew up in Bingzhou, Wang Yun was never childish in his actions, and he was also very cruel.
The events he has seen and heard about since he was a child have shaped him into a perseverant and unyielding person who will never give up until he achieves his goals.
People like him are the most rational and ruthless when it comes to things.
In addition to the hard-hearted people of Bingzhou, the depth of Wang Yun's thoughts is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
For example, after the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, Wang Yun did a major event that attracted the attention of the world.
In the process of accepting the surrender of the Yellow Turbans, Wang Yun, who was careful, searched among the peasant army and found a letter written by a guest of Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, which contained some content related to the Yellow Turban Army.
The specific content is unknown. Anyway, it points to Zhang Rang’s collusion with the Yellow Turbans.
This letter may be true or false.
This situation is the same as when Liu Jian searched for letters from Zhang Jiao about the illicit affairs between prominent families in various places and the Yellow Turbans.
However, the difference between Liu Jian and Wang Yun was that Liu Jian could endure it and did not take out the letter immediately.
Wang Yun didn't hold it back.
He directly wrote the matter into a memorial and sent it to the emperor.
As for the outcome of Liu Hong's treatment, there is actually no need to guess too much.
The emperor naturally let Zhang Rang go.
In fact, it is not the emperor's preference. This matter is problematic at first glance.
There are so many ministers and eunuchs in the court! If they add up to several hundred people, that's a small amount.
There are probably only a few people among them who have connections with the Yellow Turban thieves.
How could Zhang Rang be captured by such a coincidence? None of the others were involved?
Even if you capture a few more, it will still be considered a good deal in front of the emperor.
But Zhang Rang was picked out!?
After accepting the surrender of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, a letter from Zhang Rang colluding with the Yellow Turbans was found.
Everyone else does it
If he really had this ability, he wouldn't be doing sneak attacks on charity now.
This is not really treating the emperor like a second-hand person!
In fact, Wang Yun must have understood this truth in his heart, but he still insisted on playing!
Moreover, after Zhang Rang was acquitted, he felt resentful towards Wang Yun and wanted to take revenge on Wang Yun. Not long after, Zhang Rang finally found an excuse to arrest Wang Yun and put him in jail.
However, there was someone who could protect Wang Yun from coming out.
That person is Yang Ci.
From a geographical point of view, the Hongnong Yang family and the Taiyuan Wang family are not far apart, and they are somewhat far away from the central group of gentry in Guandong, but they are each famous far and wide.
In this way, it is almost self-evident who was the instigator behind Wang Yun's suing Zhang Rang.
General He Jin, Taiwei Yuan Wei, and Situ Yang Ci jointly submitted a letter to the emperor to plead for Wang Yun, hoping that Liu Hong could pardon Wang Yun.
It seems that this member of the Taiyuan Wang family had a really extraordinary status in Yang Ci's heart.
Moreover, Wang Yun's original adventure did pay off.
Although Emperor Liu Hong had a very bad impression of Wang Yun by suing Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang also formed a deadly feud with Wang Yun.
But from that moment on, Wang Yun became an elite figure and a hero in the eyes of the world's nobles.
His statement and prestige were no longer limited to Bingzhou and one state, and the gentry in the Central Plains and Guanzhong's evaluation of him, Wang Yun, suddenly rose.
Today, after Yang Ci's death, Wang Yun still formed an alliance with Yang Biao in the court, and together they led the camp of the Kansai scholars.
The Wang family of Taiyuan and the Wang Yang family of Hongnong have long belonged to a community of interests in a certain sense.
Everyone, including Yang Biao, was shocked when they heard Wang Yun talk about deposing the emperor and establishing a new king.
Huang Wan looked at him in disbelief.
Master, are you kidding me?
Wang Yun said very calmly, "How dare I joke with you about such a big event?"
Huang Wan swallowed softly and looked Wang Yun up and down.
This old guy from Bingzhou is so courageous. He dares to think about anything and do anything.
No wonder when Yang Ci asked Wang Yun to sue Zhang Rang, Wang Yun agreed without hesitation.
In the eyes of people like Wang Yun, as long as the benefits are big enough, even if you risk losing your head, it's worth it.
He is not afraid even if his head falls off.
Yang Biao looked at Wang Yun quite nervously: "Master, you can't say this carelessly. Abolition is such a big deal. If it's not done well, it will be an act of annihilation. I'm afraid we will be reviled for eternity.
"
Wang Yun said: "Brother Yang, I also know that this matter is very dangerous, but now the emperor has even given up the capital and still refuses to cooperate with us... He got together with Dong Zhuo and moved the imperial capital to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo massacred Duke Zhang.
, the emperor actually acquiesced... Oh, no, it should be said that the emperor actually supported it!?"
"Why should we, the loyal ministers and loyalists, support such a foolish king? Are we going to sit back and watch him join forces with those Xiliang thieves to poison the Han Dynasty into a piece of scorched earth? You can bear it, but I can't bear it!"
Yang Biao fell silent upon hearing this.
Not only Yang Biao, everyone was silent.
In terms of the most fundamental interests of the gentry, the emperor was indeed too unruly.
He and Dong Zhuo cut off the interests that had been agreed upon from the bodies of prominent families piece by piece, and bloodletted each family without any scruples.
If they were allowed to continue messing around, would the Han Dynasty be completely destroyed?
In other words, it is hard to say whether the country will be finished, but a family like the Yang family, which has three generations and three lords, may really be finished.
In a world where families cannot benefit, no matter how good it becomes, what does it mean to the people present?
Yang Biao took a deep breath: "It's just that if you want to depose the emperor, you have to establish a new king..."
Wang Yun had already thought about what Yang Biao said.
If he had not taken this point into consideration, Wang Yun would not have dared to say such rebellious words in public today.
I saw Wang Yun cupping his hands towards Yang Biao and saying: "Mr. Wen, you have forgotten that in addition to your current Majesty, the late emperor also has another son alive! And according to the wish of the late emperor during his lifetime, he wanted to have another son.
For the emperor,"
"It's a pity that the He family was in dictatorship and He Jin was a relative at that time. The late emperor might not be able to protect his standing, so he could only support the current emperor to ascend the throne."
Everyone present is a man who is well versed in political strategy and has quick brains.
They naturally understood what Wang Yun meant.
"So that's it. The person that Master is talking about is King Chenliu, right?"
Wang Yun nodded solemnly.
"Yes, among the Liu family members in the world, the person who can compete with the emperor for the throne is undoubtedly King Chen Liu!"
Huang Wan sighed and said with emotion:
"It is true that the sky has eyes. When the late emperor passed away, he left a bloodline like King Chenliu for the Han Dynasty, which could protect the Han Dynasty from being poisoned by traitors."
What he said was high-sounding, but in fact, he was glad that these high-ranking families finally had someone they could support, ensuring that they would no longer have to be bullied and oppressed by Dong Zhuo.
"It's just that King Chen Liu is with Liu Jian now, what should we do?"
Wang Yundao said: "We still need to send eloquent people to Yuan Shao and Liu Jian respectively to persuade them to jointly support King Chenliu as emperor. We also act in the capital and look for opportunities to eradicate the tyrant and the traitor in one fell swoop."
, welcome the new emperor into the city!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
Yang Biao hesitated and said: "The problem is that when Liu Jian was in Luoyang, he was a maverick. Although there were many people who were good to him in the whole city of Luoyang, they could make him obey orders.
There is only one person, Yuan Shiji."
"Now that Yuan Shiji is dead, I'm afraid no one can convince Liu Jian."
Wang Yundao: "That's what Mr. Wen said, but I had something to say, but you said it wrong."
"At that time, in Luoyang City, the only people who could intimidate Liu Jian were the late Emperor besides Yuan Shiji."
"The glory Liu Jian has today is entirely due to the late emperor's gift. Now we can only use the late emperor's name to persuade him."
Yang Biao thought for a moment and suddenly said: "False imperial edict?"
"yes!"
Huang Wan asked: "Is this method feasible?"
Wang Yundao said: "There is a test to see if it can work. We made it a point in the edict to make Liu Jian the regent, saying that this was the late emperor's last order."
"Whether Liu Jian believes it or not, I don't believe that this person is above tens of millions of people. He is not moved at all?"
"Besides, I think Liu Jian may not have had any good intentions when he brought King Chenliu to Yecheng. If he had no bad intentions, why would he bring a prince there?"
"rational!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"However, at this point, we still need to send someone to discuss the matter with Yuan Shao. We must first get Yuan Shao's external support, and then find ways to put pressure on Liu Jian and lure him with the benefits of power."
"After all, he is just a man in his twenties, young and energetic, so I don't believe he doesn't want to cooperate with us."
