Yu Xian looked at Yuan Shu calmly, "All the ministers happen to be in the side hall. I don't know which one the general is going to invite to propose marriage."
Yu Xian clearly wanted to force Yuan Shu to express his position on the spot.
Yuan Shu naturally understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts. He thought for a moment and said, "Situ Yang Biao is of distinguished family background, highly respected, and is related by marriage to our Yuan family. I plan to ask Situ Yang Biao to propose marriage to the Prime Minister."
Yu Xian thought to himself, Yuan Shu is indeed very determined.
The Yang family of Hongnong is not inferior to the Yuan family of Runan.
Later, in order to wash away the stain of having the Xianbei surname and win back the hearts of the world, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, declared righteously that he would always be the grandson of the Hongnong Yang family.
The Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong were two powerful families that coexisted in the late Han Dynasty.
If Yuan Shu could use his tricks to force Yang Biao to support him, then Dong Zhuo's shaky rule would surely be as stable as a rock.
Yu Xian thought for a while and said, "You may not know that Wang Yun was able to do things well before, and I have appointed him as Situ."
Yuan Shu was slightly surprised after hearing this, "It's actually like this."
He was a little regretful. Yuan Yao was a direct descendant of the Yuan family. If someone else proposed the marriage, it would lose a lot of glory.
Yu Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry about the in-laws. The marriage between your two families is such a big deal. If Yang Biao agrees to this, I will appoint him as Sikong and let him take charge of this matter."
Yuan Shu was even more satisfied upon hearing this.
The Sangong will preside over the wedding. This is the treatment of an emperor marrying his daughter!
Dong Zhuohuo attaches great importance to this matter. The more his Yuan family can get more benefits from this marriage.
Yuan Shu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure this out."
After sending Yuan Shu away, Yu Xian was refreshed.
With the layout at this level, the general trend has been set.
For the rest of the time, just wait for the situation to slowly ferment.
The whole day passed uneventfully.
Yu Xian was neither impatient nor impatient.
The undercurrent is often more violent than the problem rising to the surface.
No one knows what cards the other party will play, and no one knows who will be the true friends and which will be the hidden enemies.
Everything will have to wait until the morning of the next day to decide.
Yu Xian graciously let all the ministers go home to rest, giving them enough private time so that they could fight in groups.
In the evening, Yuan Shu, who was extremely happy, brought Yang Biao, who was ashen-faced, to ask for an audience. He was followed by Yuan Wei, who had a complicated look on his face.
Yu Xian originally used this method to sow discord among the courtiers. He happily pretended to be confused and quickly settled the marriage between Yuan Yao and Dong Bai.
Yu Xian left Niu Fu to guard the palace and led his troops back to Wu.
On the way, Li Ru reminded me.
"Enxiang, you only have one grandson, Mr. Weiyang. She has been favored by you since she was a child and is regarded as the apple of your eye. Do you want to ask Mr. Weiyang about the marriage?"
Yu Xianhehe.
He is not Dong Zhuo, and he doesn't care about the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren.
The most important thing for Yu Xian right now is to complete the task in front of him.
Early the next morning, Yu Xian still went to court with his troops and horses.
Sitting on the dragon chair at the top was a child of eight or nine years old. Yu Xian understood that this was probably the hard-working Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie.
When Liu Xie saw Dong Zhuo appearing at the entrance of the palace, he trembled with fear.
Yu Xian stepped forward with a concerned look on his face, "Why is Your Majesty sitting here in such a cold weather?"
Liu Xie didn't know how to answer this.
I'm here to go to court, where can I sit if I don't sit here?
However, looking at Dong Zhuo so close at hand, Liu Xie dared not reply.
He turned pale with fright and could not help but tremble.
Yu Xian turned back and glanced at Li Ru, "Hurry up and help your majesty to a warm place. Don't worry, the child will be frozen."
When Li Ru heard this, he stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body."
Liu Xie was silent for a while. He looked at the ministers below who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and said with some reluctance, "Then there will be Lao Xiangguo."
After saying that, he stood up and retreated into the back hall under the guidance of the small yellow door.
Naturally, Yu Xian would not be stupid enough to sit on the dragon chair vacated by Liu Xie.
The reason why he forced Liu Xie away at this sensitive moment was entirely because of his meticulous planning.
After all, Liu Xie is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. As long as he sits here, there is invisible moral pressure.
The ministers below will definitely have many concerns.
Eighty percent of what Yu Xian expected would come to nothing.
As soon as Liu Xie left, Yu Xian glanced around.
Sure enough, I saw that many people, although somewhat dissatisfied, breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Xian said calmly, "Okay! The court meeting has begun."
As soon as Yu Xian finished speaking, ministers immediately came out and said, "Prime Minister, yesterday the imperial censor disturbed Long Zong and brought his sword to the palace with evil intentions. Although he has been punished, his family members should be together. Please consider it."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately looked at Dong Zhuo with bright eyes.
Yu Xian took a closer look and saw a red "hatred" on the man's head.
Yu Xian laughed.
This is really advanced black.
Obviously he wanted to protect himself, but in fact he completely angered the courtiers by sacrificing some insignificant women and children.
Yu Xian whispered to Li Ru, "Who is this person?"
After hearing this, Li Ru glanced at Yu Xian in surprise, and then said, "En Xiang, this person is Shangshu Zhou Ao. In the past..., he was quite trusted by En Xiang."
Yu Xian understood it as soon as he heard it.
It turned out to be this guy.
Historically, Shangshu Zhou Ao, City Gate Captain Wu Qiong and others conspired to trick Dong Zhuo.
They took advantage of Dong Zhuo's eagerness to clear his name when he first took over the world, and under the banner of "for your own good", they recommended many people to Dong Zhuo as officials.
In order to win over people's hearts, Dong Zhuo not only hired a large number of famous scholar-bureaucrats, but also let the children of aristocratic families serve in the Han Palace to accompany the emperor.
Among them, Shangshu Han Fu was the governor of Jizhou, Shizhong Liu Dai was the governor of Yanzhou, Chen Liukong was the governor of Yuzhou, and Yingchuan Zhang Zi was the governor of Nanyang.
In addition, Dong Zhuo also accomplished something that the nobles in the world had been looking forward to for twenty years, but had not been able to accomplish.
That is to rehabilitate the scholar-bureaucrats who were implicated in the disaster of the Party!
Dong Zhuo not only completely wiped away the stigma of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and other party members, but also restored their titles and promoted the descendants of upright scholar-bureaucrats to officials.
Actually, look at it from another angle.
Dong Zhuo's initial motivation is still worthy of discussion.
It is obviously impossible to say that Dong Zhuo was a treacherous and evil tyrant from the beginning.
If this is the case, then why did Dong Zhuo bother to bear the name of deposed Li and choose the clever King Chenliu instead of going with the flow and continuing to support the scumbag young emperor Liu Bian?
From the perspective of conspiracy theory, if Dong Zhuo was trying to control the emperor, then Dong Zhuo should not have allowed gentry children to enter the palace to serve as officials and put the emperor under the control of the gentry.
What's more, Dong Zhuo also recommended a large number of wise scholar-bureaucrats to serve in key official positions in the court and local areas.
Judging from these things alone, it is impossible to say that Dong Zhuo was a rebellious minister and traitor who ran for the throne from the beginning.
No matter how stupid a person is, he will not cultivate hostile forces while wanting to rebel.
The princes of Guandong who later attacked Dong Zhuo, from the Bohai governor of the eldest brother Yuan Shao, to the generals of the second brother Yuan Shu, and other governors and governors, didn't their official positions all come from Dong Zhuo's rewards?
It can be said that Dong Zhuo really wanted to be a good auxiliary minister at the beginning.
It's just that Dong Zhuo kept things simple.
After being unable to break up the chaos in the court, he adopted the crudest and simplest method to break the situation, which also caused the courtiers to quickly unite and counterattack in panic.
Then Dong Zhuo broke the jar and threw it all over the place, and simply gave up.
