There was clearly a way of life before Shen Que, but instead of taking it, Shen Que chose a road of death full of ups and downs.
The letter sent from Kyoto seems simple, but it is difficult to understand.
This is a letter sent by the emperor, and it is also a plan set by the emperor.
In other words, His Majesty had already made two preparations when he sent Shen Que to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans.
From that time, Liu Hong already knew that the Yellow Turbans' goal was the national destiny of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he chose to let Liu Hong come with the jade seal passed down from the country and the imitation of the Red Sky Sword that was worshiped in the ancestral temple to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans.
If the imperial court wins this battle and the national destiny of the Han Dynasty is not lost, it means that he, the emperor, has merited leadership. In this way, Shen Que can take advantage of the general trend to develop talents in the army and recruit a lot of confidants to serve as Liu Hong. The foundation for seizing power!
If defeated, the Han Dynasty is destined to perish, and the imperial seal will become the center of the whirlpool!
The destiny of the country is in ruins, the emperor is about to die, and all his sons are young, who can take on such an important responsibility?
No one!
Therefore, even if these princes and princes ascend the throne, they can only serve as the ten permanent attendants or puppet emperors under the control of their relatives.
Under the two major power groups in Kyoto, there are aristocratic families with influence throughout Kyushu!
Unless these people are removed, the people will still be in dire straits.
It can even be said that because of his death, the situation in the court was out of control, and no one could speak for the people!
So, you have to do something!
You can die, and the big man can die, but you must leave a little life for these people!
And this is the purpose of Liu Hong's layout.
If you want to leave life to the people, you must deal with the ten permanent servants, relatives, and even the aristocratic families!
If you want to deal with these three forces, you must choose someone who comes from a poor family, has no background, but is relatively powerful.
This person is Dong Zhuo!
Born into a poor family, he was the governor of Xiliang.
The Xiliang army under his control is even more powerful in combat.
He also had the merit of annihilating the Yellow Turbans.
Soon after, the credit for suppressing the rebellion in Xiliang will also fall on his head.
With so much merit in his body, Dong Zhuo was enough to rise to the top of the court.
However, just entering the court is not enough.
Although Dong Zhuo was an ambitious man, he was also a man who sought advantages and avoided disadvantages.
If you want Dong Zhuo to take the initiative to make enemies of the three parties, you must give him enough benefits, or even a reason to fight!
What is the reason?
The national jade seal!
As mentioned before, even if the national jade seal has no national destiny, it cannot bless the holder.
But this thing has more of a symbolic meaning.
Mastering the holding objects is equivalent to mastering the Han Dynasty orthodoxy.
Just imagine, if the imperial seal was delivered to Dong Zhuo, would Dong Zhuo fight with the three parties because of his own interests?
Inevitable!
As a result, Dong Zhuo fought with the three parties, and in the end, everyone suffered losses.
As for the royal family, at that time, they could rely on Dong Zhuo's power and slowly develop. In the end, they only had to reap the rewards when everyone was defeated.
To take a step back, even if the royal family collapses and the Han Dynasty is destroyed, all parties will be hurt, and it can still give a start to the brave people who care about the world.
A beginning that can reverse the situation and compete in the world!
The jade seal passed down from the country is currently in Shen Que's hands and needs to be returned to the court.
Once it is in Dong Zhuo's hands, can it be returned to the court?
cannot!
Therefore, if Liu Hong's plan is to be implemented, one person needs to be sacrificed.
This is the commander of the Yellow Turban War, Shen Que!
A commander who appears to be victorious but actually defeated!
The letter sent from Kyoto can even be regarded as a document urging Shen Que to seek death.
After Shen Que dies and Dong Zhuo takes over, the follow-up plan can be put on the agenda.
so……
Shen Que cannot live!
Only his death can lead to the implementation of a series of subsequent plans!
This is the chess game behind this letter!
Seeing that Xi Zhicai didn't speak, Shen Que gave a helpless smile, his eyes fell on Xiao Wen, waved his hand and said: "That's it, I won't bother my brother."
"From the moment I took the position of Commander-in-Chief, I had a premonition of today's outcome."
"A group of people who serve as His Majesty's eyes and ears are, at best, just pawns in His Majesty's hands. How many of them can end well?"
"That's it, I've already looked away!"
Shen Que let out a long sigh, and his eyes fell on Xiao Wen. There was no joy or sadness on his face, making it impossible to see the changes in his heart.
Xiao Wen was silent, but he had already guessed this scene.
As a close minister of the emperor, Shen Que's life was wonderful because of Liu Hong, but it also ended because of Liu Hong.
His life and death were determined early on.
This is the end of the old fox.
After scheming and scheming, he finally fell into his own scheme and became a pawn in the implementation of the emperor's plan.
"Brother, I have foreseen my future. Your Majesty has promised me that he will treat my people well after my death, but I don't believe it!"
"Now His Majesty is unable to protect himself, and his promise, after his death, is nothing but empty words!"
"Now, the only one I can trust is my brother! So I hope you can promise me something and help me take care of someone!" Shen Que looked at Xiao Wen solemnly and said.
"Brother, it doesn't matter. As long as brother can do it, he will definitely do it for me!" Xiao Wen looked at Shen Que with mixed feelings, nodded heavily, and said.
"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. In the past, when I was in love with my brother, I left behind a daughter. However, you also know my official position, brother. Anyone who sits in the position of Sili Xiaowei, from the moment he takes this position, It will not end well, and neither will the family."
"So, as an old brother, I didn't dare to leave my little girl by my side, so I had to find a good friend to send her away. I asked my good friend to be my adoptive father and grew up in my good friend's home."
"Now that I think about it, he is still twenty-eight years old. Now, His Majesty is seriously ill. Once the emperor's lineage is buried, the struggle between the ten permanent servants and the relatives will inevitably sweep through the court."
"While I'm here, I can naturally protect my good friend. But once I die, I don't know what their future will be like."
"So, Brother Wei hopes that I can go to Yuzhou, go to my good friend's house, pick up my little girl, and take her with me. Even if I am a maid, as long as I can save her life in troubled times, Brother Wei will be satisfied. !”
Shen Que took a step back, then bowed his hands and bowed to Xiao Wen. When he was about to fall to the ground, Xiao Wen quickly reached out to help him up.
"Brother, don't you know your daughter's name is taboo?"
"She took my surname and used the surname Shen had before he became an official. The surname was Ren, with the diminutive character Hongchang. Not long ago, my good friend knew that my future was not going well, so he took the initiative to change his name."
"It seems to be called..."
"Diao Chan!"
