I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 191
In October of the second year of Zhongping, in a golden autumn season, Liu Bei married Cao Ren's sister.

Because of Liu Bei's special status, as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, he could not go back to his hometown Youzhou to get married, nor could he go to Cao's ancestral home Qiao County to get married, so he could only stay in Luoyang.

Yuan Ji once persuaded Liu Bei to invite his old mother and clan members to Luoyang to attend their wedding.

But Liu Bei did not agree. He explained to Yuan Ji that his mother was not in good health, and Luoyang was too far away from Youzhou Zhuojun. There are too many thieves, and there are dangers everywhere, it is better not to let my mother and Liu's family members come here.

Although Liu Bei's wedding was not blessed by the Liu family in Zhuo County, he received many gifts, especially his younger brother Liu Jian, who sent a great gift from Jizhou all the way to congratulate Liu Bei on his wedding.

At the same time, Liu Jian personally wrote a letter and ordered someone to hand it over to Liu Bei.

There are only four simple words on it.

"Brother works hard."

After seeing the letter sent by Liu Jian.Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help getting a little moist.

Although there are only four simple words, it proves that Liu Jian understands him very well.

In this way, the Liu family of Zhuo County and the Cao family of Qiao County became a marriage family.

But just after Liu Bei's wedding was over, a major event happened in Luoyang City, which made all the festive events come to an end.

Emperor Liu Hong finally died of illness at the age of 28.

In history, Liu Hong lived four full years longer than now, at the age of 32.

I don't know whether Liu Jian's time travel is a blessing or a misfortune for Liu Hong.

The emperor died, the whole country mourned, all joyful things stopped, and the whole country was in mourning.

But these are just the surface.

In fact, apart from Liu Hong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and the eunuchs who were extremely dependent on Liu Hong, no one in the whole country felt sad about Liu Hong's death.

Liu Hong has implemented the party policy for more than ten years, and the scholars all over the world hated him so much. When Liu Hong died, the nobles in all counties almost farted with joy. How could they mourn him?
When Liu Hong was alive, his ability to govern was very average. The number of refugees in various states increased sharply, the Yellow Turban uprising, and rebellion increased day by day.

When Liu Hong was alive, he was addicted to drinking and sex, and he rarely got close to his son, and the two princes had almost no sense of dependence on this father.

Empress He and He Jin are even more eager for Liu Hong to die early so that they can take power!
In this world, except his mother and the eunuch, who would miss Liu Hong?
No, really none.

As a schemer and as a businessman, Liu Hong was very successful.

But as an emperor, he can be said to have failed and cannot fail again.

As soon as Liu Hong died, great changes took place in the ruling and opposition parties.

Undoubtedly, the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne as emperor, but because the emperor was young, all the court affairs belonged to the great general He Jin and Yuan Kai who was crowned the grand tutor.

General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Kui participated in the recording of Shang Shushi!

Shangshutai finally fell into the hands of the noble family again.

Afterwards, Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji summoned Xu Xiang and Fan Ling to Beijing, and planned to execute them both on charges.

The reason why these two people were killed was because these two people were representatives of the gentry who had voted for Liu Hong. Killing them would deter those gentry who had voted for the imperial power.

Later, Yuan Ji was listed as Situ, ranking among the three princes.

In the process of changing the emperor and dividing power this time, He Jin and the Yuan family had an absolute advantage.

On the contrary, the eunuchs became isolated people.

In fact, in a sense, He Jin should be on the same line as the eunuch.

Because the influence of He Jin and eunuchs, who are foreign relatives, is much weaker than that of the well-dressed men headed by Yuan.

After all, their power comes from the imperial power. Now that the emperor is young, He Jin should take this opportunity to unite with the eunuch to maintain the power of his nephew, and at the same time use himself as the representative of the nephew to check and balance the gentry.

But He Jin is different from other people. Although he is straightforward on the outside and looks like a hero, he is a coward in his heart.

Living in Nanyang County, although he is a wealthy butcher, he had a mysterious admiration for those noble families since he was a child.

Therefore, even if he became a general, he never thought about using imperial power to give himself the ability to check and balance the gentry.

He chose to compromise and cooperate with the gentry.

But the problem is that today's imperial power has gradually weakened, and the power of the gentry is unprecedentedly strong.

Once He Jin compromised, the balance of power in the entire imperial court would be tilted towards the gentry.

The eunuchs and young emperors who belonged to the same extension of imperial power as He Jin fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Subsequently, the Yuan family began to re-arrange in the court.

First of all, it is naturally the state shepherd's position that the Yuan family has been spying on for a long time.

Yuan Shao's Jingzhou Beimu, Yuan Shu's Yangzhou Beimu, Yuan Yi's Yizhou Beimu!
The Yuan family in Runan, with four generations and three princes, was originally a prominent lintel.

Now, suddenly there is a Taifu, a Sangong, and three state shepherds!

The momentum is unprecedented, and no one can compare with his family.

Even in the Yuan family, there were three state shepherds at once, which caused a lot of criticism in the court.

In fact, there are a lot of Yuan family disciples and old officials in the court, but it does not mean that all the people in the court are members of the Yuan family.

There are still many ministers who look to Han but not to Yuan.

For a while, many memorials against the selection of three people from Yuan's family as state shepherds poured into the Shangshutai one after another.

But the problem is, now that Yuan Wei and He Jin have recorded the affairs of the minister, these memorials have naturally been suppressed.

But even so, the Yuan family is currently feeling a certain amount of pressure.

Therefore, Yuan Ji personally came forward to talk with Yang Biao, and exchanged Yang Biao as a Weiwei, and in this court reshuffle, a group of Kansai celebrities were replaced to take important positions in the court.

In addition, in order to appease Huang Fusong who was stationed in Fufeng, he was worshiped as General Zuo.

After a lot of rectification and a lot of power division, it was hard to separate the power and interests clearly.

And the three state shepherds of the Yuan family finally settled down.

As for Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo, who replaced Zhang Wen in Liangzhou, was also rewarded by the court.

The imperial court granted Dong Zhuo the title of Marquis of the Township, enfeoffing one thousand households in the city.

Dong Zhuo was not too proud after receiving the imperial court's reward.

He just called Dong Min to discuss the matter with him.

Dong Minque was very excited when he heard that Dong Zhuo was named Marquis, even more excited than Dong Zhuo himself.

"Second brother, now you can be regarded as outstanding and fully developed. Our brother's long-cherished wish for many years, I didn't expect it to be fulfilled at this age. It is not easy."

Dong Zhuo laughed: "The matter has not come to an end, so we can't draw conclusions. What is the situation of the rebels in Liangzhou?"

"In recent days, Huang Zhong's troops have been attacking the Qiang rebels very fiercely. If this continues, the rebels on the western front will be defeated sooner or later."

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said: "Let Huang Zhong slow down first, don't attack too hastily, the longer the war in Liangzhou is delayed, the more beneficial it will be for us, the Yuan family is currently in the limelight in Luoyang, arrogant, we Prolong the war on this side, ask them for more food and pay, and expand their troops, and sooner or later, this old man will show the world that the one who can rule the world is not just him, the Yuan family in Runan."

　The third is more likely to be later, working overtime in the unit
