It is said that the butt determines the head, this is true!
Although it is not absolute, looking at history, there are too few people who can have far-sighted vision from a very low position, and even these very few geniuses cannot see the whole picture of things and make decisions from a very low position.
His judgment is also full of errors.
After all, if you stand on the ground, you can see 10,000 meters away. If you stand on a hill, you can only see the whole town. Only when you stand on the top of Mount Tai can you see all the mountains at a glance.
Take Dong Zhuo as an example. He came from a humble background. He was just a son of a good family. He was from a relatively prosperous common people's family. He didn't have a high level of vision and knowledge. He was able to climb to his current position step by step because of his bold personality and his courage to fight.
.
It would be ridiculous to say that before entering the capital, he planned to usurp the throne or become a powerful official in the area.
Even the opportunity to enter the capital was given by the Yuan family, and it happened suddenly. He had never thought about it beforehand, otherwise he would not have brought only less than 5,000 cavalry to the capital to kill the eunuchs.
It was only after entering Beijing that one incident after another unfolded before his eyes, and as he was suddenly promoted to a higher position after winning the rescue mission, he had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Especially now, he and Yuan Wei were the only two people in the secret room, and Yuan Wei's words shocked Dong Zhuo!
"Abolish the establishment!?" Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he stood up and threw the cup out of his hand. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Yuan Wei knelt down and sat firmly on the spot, looking at Dong Zhuo with indifferent eyes. He had already expected that he would be so surprised. After all, he was just a son of a good family. Although he was now the governor of Liangzhou, to be honest
, I have never experienced any major events in the court, how can I understand how much energy the Yuan family and the Yang family have when they unite.
One is the Third Duke of the Fourth Generation and the other is the Third Duke of the Fifth Generation. After they reach an agreement, it can be said that there is no one in the Han Dynasty who cannot contact these two families. In other words, they have 100% control over the court without any problem.
In terms of military power outside the leadership of the court, Dong Zhuo was an old official of the Yuan family, and the eight commanders of Xiyuan were Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, Xia Mou, and Chun Yuqiong. Except for Bao Hong, who was from He Jin, Cao Cao
Except for the relationship between his father Cao Song and others, the others were old officials of the Yuan family. Since He Jin's death, Yuan Shao led his men to kill all the eunuchs, and Bao Hong and Cao Cao were deprived of military power by Yuan Shao.
It can be said that the largest family in Luoyang now is the Yuan family, followed by the Yang family, and within the plans of the two families, the emperor must be changed. From the chaos in the palace to the abolition of the throne, it is all to combat
The prestige of the imperial power paved the way for the two families to completely control the entire Han Dynasty. They will never allow another 'party-controlled disaster' to occur!
In the eyes of Yuan Wei and Yang Biao, two hard-line figures among the gentry, the world belongs to the gentry, not the emperor. The emperor can only be a member of the gentry and cannot break out of this barrier!
As for the people, they just need to be honest and obedient and work hard. The more they know, the more they think, the more they have troubles. Work when the sun rises and breathe when the sun comes in. This is for the good of the people!
Only in this way can the world be peaceful and eternal!
The reason why Dong Zhuo was chosen to depose the emperor was because his background was low enough. Even if he forcibly deposed the emperor, he would be able to undermine the authority of the emperor again. Secondly, he would not be able to make trouble. He was from a good family.
He was just the governor of Liangzhou, and he was not qualified to truly participate in the decision-making of the Han Dynasty, nor could he overwhelm hundreds of officials.
Neither the Yang family nor the Yuan family would take the initiative on their own, and they didn't trust other qualified families, so they chose Dong Zhuo to take the lead.
On the way back to the mansion, Dong Zhuo was hit by a cold wind and shuddered. The Yuan family was so ambitious. He felt faintly afraid in his heart, but also felt a sense of wanton trampling. He had no idea how many troubles and troubles he had suffered from the family members in the first half of his life.
Insult made him full of desire for power, and it was also the motivation for him to get to where he is today step by step.
Now, he was about to control the deposed emperor of the entire Han Dynasty. This feeling of pulling down those high-ranking figures who once stepped on his head and trampling them at will, deciding their life and death, made him tremble with excitement, and he felt like his body was going to explode.
Come, imagining that he could immediately pull up the emperor, the highest symbol of power in the Han Dynasty, and throw it to the ground. This excitement broke through a certain critical point, making his body tremble, his eyes turned white, and after a moment, his whole body felt like
He slumped on the carriage as if he had no bones, making "uh" and "uh" sounds from his mouth.
This magical experience once again opened the door to a new world for Dong Zhuo. He experienced something more exciting than playing with women. This also laid a solid foundation for later staying in the palace at night. There were many women, including beautiful women.
There is no shortage, but those with status can bring greater happiness to people on special occasions.
Maybe big shots never lack beauties, so ordinary beauties have lost their appeal to them. Anyway, Cao Cao later evolved into a 'wife Cao' and embarked on the same path as Dong Zhuo. Well, from then on, the two became real
In the sense of being 'like-minded'.
It can be seen that not only is it dangerous to be an emperor, but it is also dangerous to be an emperor's woman!
Dong Zhuo would definitely not make a hasty decision on such a big matter. He didn't have time to change his pants when he returned, so he went to find his close confidant Li Ru despite the sticky feeling. Over the years, he has been able to successfully reach this position, except for himself.
In addition to daring to fight and fight, Li Ru's advice is indispensable. Otherwise, one after another of the conspiracies and conspiracies would have been overturned in the morning.
After listening to Dong Zhuo talk about what happened tonight, Li Ru frowned, straightened his beard, thought for a moment, and a few gleams of coldness flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and stared at Dong Zhuo for a moment and said: "My lord, you still have the guts to shout!"
"
Dong Zhuo stared at Li Ru, not minding the question at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, getting bigger and bigger, and finally he laughed wildly, "I, Dong Zhuo, have nothing else. Until today, this is what I have taken the exam for."
Courage, Wenyou, feel free to say whatever you have to say, there is nothing that cannot be said between you and me."
Li Ru's expression also softened. The reason why he chose Dong Zhuo as his leader was because he was from a humble background and had the same experience of being suppressed and humiliated by aristocratic families. The most important thing was that he was brave enough and courageous. There was nothing Dong Zhuo did not dare to do.
!
"The Yuan family is reusing the master!"
"I know this!"
"With my lord's background and power in the court, he is not qualified to abolish or abolish the establishment. If he does it forcefully, he will not get any substantial benefits. Instead, he will get a handle. If these people have conscience, then the lord will still have a chance to be safe."
In his later years, if they are more ruthless and want to clear up the blame, then the lord will definitely be liquidated afterwards!"
