"When the Master of Chu heard this, he threw his arms and stood up. He was suffocated, his sword was outside the bedroom door, and his chariot was in the market of Puxu." [Zuo Zhuan, 14th year of Xuan Gong]
In these troubled times, how easy is it to take back military power without spending a single soldier? When Gaishun and others came, they had already imagined that this trip would be extremely dangerous. How could they expect to see Xu Rong being so respectful and obedient?
While Gaishun and others heaved a sigh of relief, they became more and more impressed by the emperor's ability to recognize people and judge matters.
In fact, the reason why the emperor was so sure was not because of his deep understanding of Xu Rong, but because in the memory of his later generations, there was no violent turmoil near Jingzhao after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo. From this, he ruled out and inferred one by one.
This is the result.
Unexpectedly, Gaishun and others were impressed, which was an unexpected surprise.
Seeing that Xu Rong was so knowledgeable, Gaishun reciprocated the favor and immediately took out the emperor's reward. In addition to consecrating Xu Rong as Yulin Zhonglang General, he also granted him the title of Tinghou, which made Xu Rong very happy. With Xu Rong's
With full cooperation, the three thousand soldiers and horses of the entire army were redistributed according to the emperor's wishes. The entire army was organized into Yulin, with Xu Rong still assuming the leadership responsibility, and Gai Shun serving as Yulin supervisor, acting as deputy, and commanding the cavalry.
Xu Rong knew that although he was a general, Gaishun was really in charge, so Gaishun had the final say in everything. In addition, most of the three thousand people were the old subordinates of Gaishun's father, Gai Xun. They cooperated from top to bottom, and soon everything was done.
After the reorganization was completed, they gathered in the school grounds. After hearing that Dong Zhuo was about to commit suicide and I didn't go into details about the imperial edict, all the officers and soldiers even shouted "Long Live Long Live" and their voices shook the sky.
Xu Rong and Gaishun stood on the stage, knowing that this call represented a change in military morale. From now on, the emperor would regain control of a loyal and brave army.
Geshun stood on the stage, with a look of pride and excitement on his young face. His enemy was in power, and he should have lived a busy life. Unexpectedly, the emperor still remembered his late father's loyalty to the Han court and asked him to take on important responsibilities. In just a few days,
He was also made a six-hundred-ton Yulin supervisor, with elite soldiers at his disposal.
This is an unprecedented favor. The emperor is determined to revitalize the Han Dynasty and bring glory to the world. Under his hand, he will be able to shine on the lintel of the Gai family in Dunhuang, just like the twenty-eight heroes of Yuntai!
Thinking of this, he felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility. When the mountain call was over, he couldn't wait to order the soldiers and horses he had just conquered and drive towards the north of the city.
Even though he knew that Lu Bu was recruiting Hu Zhen and other troops in the north of the city at this time, even if the emperor and Wang Bin had hinted that there was no need to go to the north of the city, Gaishun was young after all, had not experienced difficult setbacks, and had learned the thoughts of the superiors. He only felt that Xu Rong faced
If he surrendered his military power so simply to the imperial decree, then even if Hu Zhen had six thousand soldiers and horses, he would still bow before the imperial decree?
As for Lu Bu, even though he had an imperial edict in hand, it is not clear at a glance whose imperial edict is more orthodox?
Wang Bin didn't expect that Gaishun would be a little carried away after recruiting 3,000 people from Xu Rong's tribe, and he would even take up the idea of Hu Zhen and others. Due to the presence of Yang Zhong and Yang Ru, he couldn't say it clearly, and he could only keep emphasizing that the morale of the army would be stable.
Soon, it will not be appropriate to move.
Unexpectedly, Gaishun had already made up his mind. In addition, Yang Zhong, the eunuch who was ordered to supervise the armies in Guanzhong, and Yang Ru, who had been awarded the title of Huben Zhonglang General, saw that Gaishun already had both reputation and title, while he only had an empty title.
, couldn't help but be jealous and urged Gaishun to hurry up and send troops.
One of the three wanted to overfulfill the task and do more for the emperor, while the other two only focused on the six thousand soldiers that seemed to be within easy reach. They completely ignored Wang Bin's identity and led the troops to the north of the city.
Wang Bin followed the team anxiously and expectantly. He originally thought that no matter how cunning Lu Bu was as rumored, he would not openly resist the emperor's edict. But when he saw Lu Bu's expression after hearing Geshun's edict, he
After seeing a look of shock, anger and disdain, he knew something was wrong.
Chancery desk.
As General Zuo Zhonglang, Cai Yong was in charge of the Zuo Department Lang Wei in the palace. On a day like this when all the ministers were paying their respects, he naturally went to the palace early in the morning to make arrangements. But today, for some unknown reason, the king, who had always disliked him,
Yun suddenly called him to the Chancellor's desk, and the two of them sat opposite each other in the resting room. At first they said some mild words, but later Wang Yun simply kept silent, as if waiting for something.
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty! The congratulations are about to begin. I am responsible for the royal palace. I shouldn't delay it until now. If your Majesty has something important to do, I might as well tell you."
"Is it important?" Wang Yun looked up at Cai Yong and sneered, "You'll know it soon."
Cai Yong's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Soon, Grand Master Shi Liu Ai hurried over and delivered the shocking news that Grand Master Dong Zhuo had tampered with the law and had been ordered to be executed by Zhonglang General Lu Bu in Beiyemen!
When he first heard the news, Cai Yong, who was kneeling on the couch, straightened up and looked at Wang Yun with a look of disbelief. Seeing Wang Yun's playful look, Cai Yong didn't understand that this was a long-planned coup.
?
He did not expect that Dong Zhuo, who had always been kind to him, would suddenly be killed, nor did he expect that Wang Yun, who had a personal grudge against him, would take over the power. He had finally settled down in the court with Dong Zhuo, but would there be another setback in the future?
Cai Yong's thoughts changed rapidly. He was feeling sorry for Dong Zhuo, but also worried about his future future. He was so emotional that he couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Yun was waiting for Cai Yong to make a mistake. He said in a bad tone, "If Cai Zhonglang is not overjoyed when he learns of Dong's death, why should he sigh?"
Before Cai Yong could explain, Wang Yun snorted coldly: "Dong Zhuo is a great thief of the country. He kills his masters and remnants of his ministers. He is not blessed by heaven and earth, and is jealous of both gods and men. As a Han official, you have been favored by Han in this life, and the country is in danger."
It’s just that you don’t repay the favor. Why do you still sigh for Dong’s thief when he is given the title? I think you are used to Dong’s thief’s salary, and you don’t even have the slightest idea of loyalty to the emperor in your heart. People like you are really in vain.
Great Confucian, if I don't punish you, where will the law of the country be?"
"Come here!" Wang Yun knew that Cai Yong was an excellent eloquent and he was no match for him. After deducting several charges, he did not give Cai Yong any chance to defend himself and summoned him: "Send him to Tingwei Prison."
, severely punish the guilty!”
The ministers and ministers who were sitting in the chancery looked at each other in shock. They finally digested the news of Dong Zhuo's death. Before they could get excited, they saw Cai Yong being dragged out. For a moment, they didn't know whether Wang Yun or Cai Yong was there.
What happened in the room? Yong said: "Master Wang! If you want to take the opportunity to punish me, why bother to talk more? If you punish me with words, what is the difference between what you did and Dong Zhuo?"
Wang Yun followed him to the door and cursed in front of all the ministers of Zhongtai: "Take off his seal and ribbon crown, such an unfaithful and unjust person dares to talk about the ministers of the imperial court!"
At this time, Situ Changshi and Wang Hong, a member of the same county clan, hurriedly walked into the minister's desk. He looked anxious and seemed to have brought bad news. Wang Yun frowned and turned around to enter the inner room. Wang Hong also walked in and concealed himself.
When he came to the door, he curtly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, things have changed!"
