"The ups and downs of Song Weizi are due to good reasons; Yuan Junshan's tears are in vain! They are angry with the wind and clouds to stabilize the country. Because of the disappointment in the world, they follow the hearts of the people. They raise the banner of righteousness to purge the evildoers."
"Nowadays, the Han Dynasty has a late mausoleum, and its outline is completely slack. There is no support from the Holy Dynasty, and there is no chance of breaking and rushing. Within the square, the simple ministers all lower their heads and stretch their wings, and cannot rely on them. Although they have the support of loyalty and righteousness, they are intimidated. How can you show your integrity to a tyrannical minister?"
"Therefore, for the important task of saving the country, we must have wise ministers outside. They will lay down hundreds of millions of treasures, bow their armor, travel through the mountains and rivers, weather the wind and rain, but they will not stop working. So they set up Xibo's army to ask about Nanchao's crime."
"In today's world, only Cao Caoxin and Jian Zan belong to the fortune of that period. They are old ministers of the emperor and Han Dynasty and sons of the clan. They are dedicated to the achievements of the late emperor and the great kindness of this dynasty."
"After Cao Sangong, he has the talent to help the world. He has strong faith, courage and perseverance. He has little success, leads Wen Luzhuo, and is loyal and strong in the mountains and hills. These are all kinds of people. A man of great benevolence and bravery is a great example of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. , to eliminate Yuan evil and great obscurity."
"Ahem, swallows pecked the emperor's grandson, knowing that the Han Dynasty was about to end. Emperor Long Li knew that Xia Ting was in a sudden decline. However, these five princes were here, and they regarded death as if they were home. This has been clear for thousands of years. It is called the autumn when loyal ministers' livers and brains were wiped out, and martyrs made meritorious deeds. At the meeting, who said that if Huo Zimengzhi didn't do it, Zhu Xuhou would have died?"
"Oh! It's as if the emperor passed away yesterday, but his words are still in my ears. How can I forget my loyalty? A handful of soil is not dry, and a six-foot lone man can't be trusted. If you can turn misfortunes into blessings, send them to the place where you live, and jointly establish the honor of a diligent king, and never forget the great king. Life......"
"Chasing Dong Ji" contains more than 2,000 words. After printing, it is actually only a few thin pages of paper, which is not as many words as a random chapter of an online article in later generations.
However, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, countless powerful people from aristocratic families could not put it down after reading it, and they had to memorize the words in it thoroughly before they could stop.
This was written by the great scholars Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, and it also has their signatures and seals.
Not to mention how good the content is, the signature and seal alone are worth a lot of money.
It's a pity that it was printed. If it were the original original handwritten, it would be even more precious.
In February of the second year of Chuping, Nanpi County, the seat of Bohai County, Jizhou.
In the governor's house, Yuan Shao looked at the "Chasing Dong Ji" in his hand with a livid face.
There is a mention in the book, which only says that the eighteen princes gathered in Jujube, and then there is no further information.
I didn't belittle him or speak ill of him outright.
But it would be better not to mention it.
Because everyone in the world knows that in the face of Dong Zhuo's cruelty, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others retreated in the face of difficulties. Only Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, Gongsun Zan and others marched forward bravely.
The book does not express the author's attitude, nor does it contain personal criticism of Yuan Shao.
But comparing the two, one can immediately make a judgment.
oh.
You, Yuan Shao, retreated in spite of the difficulties and abandoned the emperor. What kind of behavior is this? Is this what a loyal minister does?
What?
Are you having trouble?
Then why can Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gong Sun Zan and Bao Xin continue to fight and they have no difficulties?
In the final analysis, you, Yuan Shao, are not loyal enough and have not fulfilled your responsibilities to the Han Dynasty.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of others being too good, but you are afraid of being well-represented by your peers. When you compare many things, you will immediately distinguish a lot of meanings, giving people an indescribable feeling.
Yuan Shao could even foresee that there would be many such rumors in the coming days, which would inevitably seriously damage his reputation.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Whatever you do, you have to bear the consequences of doing it.
"hateful."
Yuan Shao tore the book "Chasing Dong Ji" into pieces, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said to Feng Ji: "If one day I catch these two old men Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, I will definitely humiliate them."
Feng Ji stroked his beard and said: "Ming Gong, don't worry. This is just a trick to play with people's hearts and cannot be put on the stage. In a truly great world, strong soldiers and horses are the way to go."
Xu You also said: "Yes, Wang Fen is just a gatekeeper, so how can he capture Jizhou? When Benchu takes the plan, people in the world will naturally understand who is the real master of the Ming Dynasty. Benchu must not do it because of
This little thing interferes with my ambition."
Call me primordial?
Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You with some dissatisfaction.
Although we have known each other since childhood and have been friends for many years, but now I am the master and you are the minister, and you are always calling me names. Isn't there no respect for others?
never mind.
Xu You is very important now, so it's better to bear with him.
A hint of tenacity flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he nodded and said: "You are right, the big thing now is to plot Jizhou, and gaining a foundation is the most important thing, so you can't care too much about it. Yuan Tuziyuan, let you do it
How are things going?"
Xu You smiled and said: "We are 70% sure that Jizhou is in our hands."
"good."
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said to the two of them: "I have Yuan Tuzi, so why worry about the failure of great things? The day I capture Jizhou will be the time for you to become famous and rich."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The three of them laughed at the same time, full of prospects for a bright future.
And Yuan Shao was even happier.
A smile couldn't be suppressed at the corner of his mouth, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The Yuan family must be revived in my hands!
...
...
Yecheng, Jizhou, governor's office.
Wang Fen's face turned dark. Looking at the book "Chasing Dong Ji", she said to her old friend Xun Shuang unhappily: "Although I have not led the army, I have been working hard to provide food and grass. How come Mr. Zheng only provides me with food and grass?"
Got a deal?"
Xun Shuang said with a smile: "It would be good if you can mention it. You just provided food and grass and your name will go down in history. The Fifth Duke was born and died, and he almost died in the war to gain this reputation. You didn't
Go fight on the front line and be content."
Xin Ping on the side said: "As soon as "Chasing Dong Ji" was published, the reputation of the five people was probably boundless for a while. In my opinion, it would be better for Ming Gong to raise righteous soldiers at this time and join the fight against Dong to build up his prestige and establish a hegemony.
This is the best strategy."
"yes."
Xun Chen also said: "Since Ming Gong ruled Jizhou, the people have been prosperous, the state has been strong, and the world is rich. When the country is in crisis, it is the time for Ming Gong to send troops. As Zheng Gong said, it is called a meeting where loyal ministers are bruised and martyrs have made meritorious deeds.
.If you raise an army to conquer, bring the emperor to Jizhou, and assist the Han Dynasty to revive, you can be said to be the ultimate minister."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Going thousands of miles to Guanzhong?"
Wang Fen's old face showed a trace of longing, but after a moment he shook his head: "Forget it, I do have the intention, but I no longer have the power. Let Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other young people do the things that are famous in the world.
Well, I'd better take good care of Jizhou on behalf of the emperor and wait for the day when the Han Dynasty is restored."
no way.
Wang Fen is too old.
As early as the ninth year of Yanxi, that is, 166 AD, Wang Fen was already a leader and famous throughout the world.
When the party was in turmoil, Wang Fen was among them. He was already in his thirties at that time.
Now more than thirty years have passed, and he is already in his sixties, nearly seventy.
Although his temper is still as bad as before, firstly, his military ability is not very good, and secondly, his body is getting worse and worse, and he really can no longer go to the battlefield.
Regarding this point, Hua Xin once commented that "if he is not strong in nature, he will fail, and disaster will befall the family."
It can be seen that he is really powerless when it comes to leading troops to fight.
Seeing Wang Fen's attitude, Xin Ping and Xun Chen looked at each other and could see the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
Nowadays, there are still many powerful ministers and generals in Wang Fen's account.
Wen You, Xun Shuang, Xun He, Xun You, Chen Yixiang, Kai Zhou, Jing Xin, commentaries on Xun Chen, Guo Tu, review and matching, Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Liu Hui, etc.
Wu You, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Qu Yi and others.
Most of them are from the Yingchuan faction. After all, Yingchuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty does produce counselors. They often recruit one and introduce each other, and they can quickly get a bunch of them.
However, although most of Wang Fen's civil and military officials were born in Yingchuan, the factions are quite complicated. They cannot be distinguished simply by geography, but by the ambitions and intentions of these people.
For example, Xun Shuang, Xun and Chen Yi were not actually Wang Fen's subordinates and did not serve as officials in Jizhou. However, when the late emperor passed away, they were wanted by the court for criticizing Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo for deposing the emperor, so they came to join Wang Fen.
In addition, Xin Ping and Xun Chen were introduced by fellow tribesmen or friends of Yingyingchuan people, but they had different ideas from Xun Shuang, Xun He and others who introduced them.
Xin Ping and Xun Chen hoped that there would be a hero to lead Jizhou, because as smart people, they had seen that the world was at the end of the Western Han Dynasty again, when dragons and snakes were rising together, and the Han Dynasty was in decline. What they needed was to find a bright ruler.
Build a career instead of following a bad old man with no ambitions.
The group of people like Xun, Xun Shuang, Chen Yixiang and Zhou Jing are different. Like Wang Fen, they were members of the party who were destroyed by the disaster of the party. Maybe they were all born in aristocratic and powerful families, but their
Experience creates a different state of mind.
To put it simply, they are the remnants of the old era. Although they were tortured thousands of times by the Han Dynasty, deep down in their hearts, they still believed that they were loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty. They were not like others who had the heart to rebel against their superiors.
.
Different ambitions will naturally lead to different results.
So if we must distinguish, then Wang Fen's group should be divided into royalists and radicals.
The opinions and positions of the two sides are different, but because Wang Fen himself is a staunch royalist, the royalist faction is now the most powerful. Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tushen, and these radicals do not have much say.
certainly.
Maybe some people will say that you, Wang Fen, dare to depose and establish an emperor, but you are still a royalist?
However, deposing an emperor and being a royalist are two different things.
Just as Xun Yu was not a die-hard fan of the emperor, but a die-hard fan of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang also deposed the emperor. Who dares to say that he is not a loyal member of the Han Dynasty?
Therefore, when the royalists were strong, the radicals' ideas had little effect and were not accepted at all.
Including this recommendation from Xin Ping and Xun Chen, it was actually a test to see if Wang Fen was ambitious and had the intention to forge ahead.
But again, Wang Fen is too old. Not only his mind and thoughts, but also his body is really too much.
Even if Wang Fen wanted to develop some kind of imperial hegemony, he would probably die of old age within two years of doing so.
Therefore, both his body and his thoughts were enough to disappoint the radicals and make them understand that Wang Fen was not a good hero.
It seems.
You should really consider Yuan Shao.
Recalling some of what Xu You had said to them in Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others once again began to re-examine some other ideas.
