Chapter 411 Do you want to win over Liu Bei?
In fact, if Liu Hong hadn't handed Liu Xie over to the Queen Mother Dong to raise him, this approach would not be considered sensitive.

Because Dong Zhong is his natal family, his mother's nephew, and someone he can trust.

Appointing Dong Zhong to fight against He Jin is, in a sense, a natal family against a natal family, a magic confrontation, using magic to fight magic is nothing more than a good show in everyone's opinion.

The bad thing is that Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong. From outsiders, the Empress Dowager Dong is Liu Xie’s backing. The Empress Dowager Dong still dislikes Empress He very much. She has persuaded Liu Hongce to make Liu Xie the crown prince many times. Why does the Empress hold a deep grudge? .

This kind of practice is more like the pre-positioned practice of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

So Luoyang's already unstable situation galloped further towards a more turbulent direction.

He Jin couldn't hold back anymore.

Just set up the West Garden Army to target He Jin, so there will still be some people who have a little fantasy, thinking that the situation can be saved, such as He Jin who still has the last illusion about Liu Hong and doesn't want to go to war.

However, Liu Hong's appointment of Dong Zhong as a chariot general and his blatant division of his military power completely shattered the last illusion in He Jin's heart.

Knowing this, He Jin Xingye secretly visited Yuan Kai and apologized to Yuan Wei, saying that he was too hesitant and weak in the past, and did not know that the emperor was so decisive. Now he has no illusions and hopes to join hands with Yuan Wei to deal with the crisis together .

"What the emperor has done, there is no room for us to relax. If I can't stand up, the He family will be finished, and the prince will lose the possibility of inheriting the throne. I can't just watch this kind of thing. Appear!"

He Jin gritted his teeth and hated Liu Hong, showing his determination to break with Liu Hong.

Yuan Kai was overjoyed and immediately took He Jin's hand.

"This is the courage that a real general can have!"

Yuan Kai praised He Jin, and then put forward his suggestion to He Jin again.

That is to ask He Jin to recruit soldiers from all directions to Luoyang, let Liu Hong see whether the people in the world are on the side of the prince's debate or the side of the prince's association, and let Liu Hong carefully weigh what he has to do What is the success rate of things.

He Jin nodded, and immediately began to discuss with Yuan Kai how to recruit soldiers from all directions to Luoyang to show his power.

The first is the method.

It was still the same, using the theory of prophecy and weft as a cover, and using the words of the fortune-telling magician to set off an upsurge of public opinion, which further prompted Liu Hong to agree to this matter.

Then there is the target of recruitment, which must be reliable and able to show He Jin's power, so as to show off his muscles to Liu Hong.

Yuan Kai said that he could provide He Jin with help from Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, and let Dong Zhuo send people to the capital to support He Jin.

Then Yuan Kai suggested to He Jin that Liu Biao, one of He Jin's subordinates and one of the eight handsome men, should come forward to lobby Xuzhou and Qingzhou, so that Liu Yan and Liu Yu would send people to the capital to respond to his call.

"Liu Yan and Liu Yu are both clansmen, will they heed my call?"

He Jin expressed concern.

Yuan Kui has a plan in mind.

"The emperor wants to abolish the matter of the elders and establish the younger. Liu Yu, Liu Yan and others are the elders of the clan. They have always valued the principles of ethics, and they will definitely not agree. As long as they are persuaded by this, they will definitely agree to support Suigao, even if the opponent is the emperor. .”

He Jin nodded slowly.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Liu Biao about it."

The two talked for a while, discussed who could support them, and came up with some results. After chatting, He Jin talked about Liu Bei.

"Liangzhou Shepherd Liu Bei, a member of the Han family, is deeply relied upon and trusted by His Majesty. He is also a member of the ancient literature school and has a strong prestige. Can you persuade him to help?"

Yuan Kai's complexion suddenly changed.

"It's better not to."

He Jin raised his eyebrows.

"why?"

Yuan Kai took a deep breath.

"I don't get along with Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's teacher. How could Liu Bei walk with us?"

He Jin smiled.

"Mr. Yuan said that the more people who support it, the better. At this moment, as long as you don't oppose the prince's argument to become the prince, you can rely on it. The more people oppose the emperor, the more jealous the emperor will be, isn't it?"

Yuan Kai still shook his head.

"Suigao, Lu Zhi is not on good terms with me. Knowing that I am here, he will definitely not associate with you. Liu Bei is deeply favored by the emperor, and he must put the emperor first in everything, and will not join our actions. Therefore, it is better not to Consider him."

"Having said that, if we don't fight for Liu Bei, what should we do if Liu Bei is recalled by the emperor to fight against us?"

Regarding He Jin's question, Yuan Kai felt that there was nothing to worry about.

"When Liu Bei comes back at this time, it is clear that he supports the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young. You think, can the people of the world accept a Liu Bei who supports the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young?"

Yuan Kai's words awakened He Jin.

That's right, the eldest son naturally has the right to inherit in legal terms. No matter how much the emperor dislikes Liu Bian, people all over the world think that Liu Bian should inherit the throne.

As the suzerain of the world, the emperor should actually pay more attention to the inheritance of this patriarchal system. If he takes the initiative to destroy it, it will inevitably cause opposition from the world. At this time, whoever supports the emperor will obviously have a bad reputation.

No official would like such titles as sycophant and treacherous minister.

Can Liu Bei, the inheritor of the Fanyue family and a well-known celebrity in the world, still play around with the emperor with a barefoot mentality?
Even if Liu Bei agrees, it is estimated that those around Liu Bei will try their best to persuade him not to come to Luoyang, even if they do not express their opinion, it is better than expressing their opinion.

After figuring this out, He Jin was relieved.

Although it is impossible to win over Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei does not contradict him in this matter, he will be satisfied.

After all, Liu Bei is really good at fighting, very good at fighting, if he brings his arrogant soldiers from Liangzhou back to Luoyang, how can this big show continue?
Thanks to our family, Bian'er is the eldest son in the patriarchal sense!
Fortunately, at the same time, He Jin also noticed the not-so-good expression on Yuan Kai's face. At that time, he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

Although there is no definite evidence, He Jin also heard his chief bookkeeper Chen Lin talk about the grievances between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

It is said that Liu Bei used to walk around Yuan Shao's mansion before he made his fortune. Of course, he was not a serious aide.

The political offensive that caused Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to suffer greatly was planned by Liu Bei. At that time, He Jin privately thought that it was very interesting for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to suffer, and he gloated in private.

At that time, Yuan Shao used Liu Bei as his mastermind. Many political actions were based on Liu Bei's opinions, which gave Liu Bei a lot of trust. I went to be a shepherd in Liangzhou.

It's okay to be a shepherd of Liangzhou, but Yuan Shao seemed to have a good relationship with Liu Bei at that time.

The key is that I don't know what happened later, Liu Bei called Cao Cao to Liangzhou to be the prefect of Wuwei County, and Cao Cao really ran away. Later, the Cao family abandoned the cooperation with the Yuan family and supported Liu Bei instead.

This is considered to have moved Yuan Shao's bottom line, and it is said that Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with this.

Cao Cao has always been the younger brother who followed Yuan Shao. You, Liu Bei, let others pry you, isn't it a bit unruly?
So although there was no direct confrontation between the two, Yuan Shao unilaterally regarded Liu Bei as an ungrateful enemy.

Afterwards, Yuan Kai and Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi had a disagreement on the course of action of the School of Ancient Literature. The relationship between the two was not harmonious and they argued openly. It's not good.

Considering Yuan Shi's senses, although He Jin felt that he had no enmity with Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, he still did not choose to have further communication with them on this matter. Almost enough.

As long as Liu Bei doesn't blatantly stand on the side of the emperor and accompany him to do the hard work of abolishing the elders and erecting the younger ones, He Jin will be very satisfied.

Ever since, this inexplicable power struggle started like this.

Liu Hong recruited troops, and He Jin also wanted to win over various forces to give him a platform, so that Liu Hong could see that his power was no longer something he could easily shake.

However, this struggle is actually very nonsensical. The confrontation between Liu Hong and He Jin was not for the same thing at all, not for the same goal, but because the same people were involved, a decisive battle was launched inexplicably.
