Chapter 336 Inside Story of the Abandoned Emperor
"General, do you know that the young emperor was abolished two years ago?" Li Ru opened his mouth and went back to two years ago.

But Ma Chao was a little confused, let alone Ma Chao knew about Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing to abolish the Young Emperor, even in the next 2000 years, everyone would know: Why did Li Ru mention this for no reason?Could it be that at that time, Dong Zhuo and the scholars had already begun a period of good times?
Thinking of this, Ma Chao suddenly smiled wryly: This is impossible. It has been recorded in history that Dong Zhuo's abolition of the young emperor caused all the officials to be angry.It even led to the first bomb of the Zhijinwu Dingyuan who raised troops against Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to kill his father...

However, Li Ru nodded silently at this time!

This silent action couldn't help but make Ma Chao serious: It can be seen that Li Ru is not just talking about it!
After taking a sip of tea slowly to delay the shock in his heart, Ma Chao asked, "What the world says is that Dong Zhuo acted arbitrarily and had the intention of usurping him for a long time. That's why he abolished the establishment. However, Chao was in Fufeng I also analyzed Dong Zhuo's abolition of the young emperor, but I think it should be Dong Zhuo's first entry into Luoyang, and he is more vigilant. Later, he realized that the power was not something he could handle, so he followed the ancient system of Yiyin and followed suit... Could it be that there are scholars among them?" Historically, Dong Zhuo's actions have long been clearly explained.Ma Chao really couldn't imagine, how could those loyal scholars participate in it?

After listening to Ma Chao's words, Li Ru seemed a little surprised, and couldn't help asking Ma Chao: "May I ask why you said that Dong Zhuo abolished and established the young emperor...Is it the one who...follows the ancient system and learns from it?"

Now that this is mentioned, Ma Chao also feels that he really should have a good chat with the old poisonous snake.After sorting out the analysis of later generations, and sorting out his thoughts, he said: "If Dong Zhuo had not abolished the young emperor at that time, then according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the emperor would be regented by the queen mother when he was young, and the power to issue edicts was in the hands of the queen mother. Dong Zhuo is not easy to interfere. Although the He Jin and He Miao brothers are dead, their party members are still there, so the He family was still very powerful at that time, and these will become a major obstacle to Dong Zhuo's monopoly. , can easily disintegrate and cut off the He clan's forces, this is one of them."

Li Ru nodded silently. It seems that the analysis of later generations is indeed in line with the situation at that time.

"Secondly, Dong Zhuo needs to find a basis for being accepted by others for his military... monopoly. In the stories of the Han family, either the emperor is in charge, or the minister Gu Ming assists the government, or the dictatorship of foreign relatives. Dong Zhuo is not one of the three. Dr. What you said is true, fundamentally speaking, he is just like a boy, just a local warrior. Now he wants to arbitrarily rule the government, and the people in the world refuse to accept it, what should we do?"

This question, Ma Chao suddenly felt a little funny, pursed his lips, and continued: "Dong Zhuo's approach is to start from the Empress Dowager Dong. After Emperor Xian's mother was killed by Empress Dowager He, Emperor Xian was brought up by Emperor Ling's mother, Empress Dowager Dong." .Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager Dong have the same family friendship, if the emperor is dedicated to the emperor, then Dong Zhuo is a relative, and this has a theoretical basis."

These words are actually very disrespectful to the royal family.But Li Ru didn't even frown. From this, it can be seen that Li Ru and Ma Chao are the same people, they both regard the big man as nothing, and it can even be inferred that they are people who fundamentally despise the imperial power.

Of course, Ma Chao's contempt is because he knows a more advanced system.However, Li Ru's contempt may be determined by their pride due to historical limitations and personalities.

"Dong Zhuo is a relative, so it is justifiable for him to be in power. What is more favorable is that after the death of Emperor Ling, the He family and the Dong family fought for power. With the help of eunuchs, He Jin eliminated the power of the Dong family and killed the Queen Mother Dong. In this way, Dong Zhuo will not be restrained by the Empress Dowager Dong Zhuo when he takes power. Such a good thing is almost as arranged by the heavens, how could Dong Zhuo miss it?"

At the end of his speech, Li Ru bowed deeply to Ma Chao: "My lord has a great opinion, and I can see through the essence from the appearance, which really opened Ru's eyes."

"Excellence is nothing but hindsight... It's just an inference after the fact, and I think it should be so. I don't know what the doctor thinks?" After receiving Li Ru's praise, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little elated, and almost said the words "after the fact". come out.However, it can also be seen from this that the later generations' speculation about Dong Zhuo's abolition and establishment of the young emperor is at least very correct.

"But the general doesn't know something. At the time when Confucianism advised Dong Zhuo to do this, he didn't think so much. It was just for self-protection..."

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had overlooked something: No, it was Li Ru in front of him who persuaded Dong Zhuo to do this!Could it be said that Dong Zhuo's abolition of the young emperor was not at all for the purpose of arbitrarily dictating power?
"Your lord, I don't know that Dong Zhuo had few soldiers at that time, and it was difficult for him to establish his prestige. There were also scholars, officials, and princes who were eyeing him. If someone did not take this poisonous strategy, he would die for a long time..." Li Ru leisurely said this Ma Chao couldn't believe what he said.

In Ma Chao's impression, Dong Zhuo had always controlled the power of the Han court, and finally provoked the anger of the heavens and the people, and was killed by the Chang'an scholars using the most vile assassination.Some people in later generations even used this incident to say that Dong Zhuo was actually a very cunning fat man. Through this preemptive move, Dong Zhuo could also see what the officials in the court meant.Like a flying stone hitting water, whoever is convinced and whoever is not convinced will get it right after a try.Then continue to launch the next round of political struggle in a targeted manner...

Could it be?The fog of history is really too thick, those plotting inferences in the world can't hold a foot at all?Dong Zhuo abolished and established the young emperor, was it really just a last resort, in order to save his life?
"Impossible! Dong Zhuo's abolition of the young emperor was a major event that caused a sensation in the country at the beginning. Everyone knows that this incident provoked strong backlash from the imperial court, and there are even many people who show their will with blood!" Ma Chao said deliberately. , because he knew that the only one who could give the most accurate answer was Li Ru in front of him.

After all, the matter of abolishing and establishing the emperor is a matter of prudence and prudence in all dynasties.At that time, Dong Zhuo was only a governor of the border area. Now, he is probably a high-ranking official or a high-ranking provincial official. If we only talk about official rank, there were many people in Luoyang who were higher than Dong Zhuo at that time.Dong Zhuo's reputation was not right, although he could use his own military power to play tricks in his actions, but he was shocked and dared to abolish and establish important things. How could he not arouse civil and military hostility in the court?
"My lord is too naive!" Li Ru actually smiled, and there was a trace of compassion in his smile: "And this is what Confucianism wants to say and what the lord listens to! Those scholars don't only read sage books, Cultivating morality and cultivating character, when they play tricks, they are more vicious than eunuchs, and more ruthless than us warriors!
"When Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, only Lu Zhi, the Shangshu who was deeply poisoned by the thought of loyalty, opposed the manchu scholar-bureaucrats, and no one else said anything. What's more, Dong Zhuo notified the decision to abolish the young emperor to the then auxiliary minister Taifu Yuan. After Kui, Yuan Kui actually returned 'agree'!"

"How...how is it possible?" The news was a bit earth-shattering. Even if Ma Chao was mentally prepared, he still couldn't accept it: "No, it's not that Ding Yuan raised troops against Dong Zhuo..."

"That's right, Ding Yuan did object at that time. It's just that Ding Yuan can be considered a gentleman?" Li Ru sneered, disdainful of what Ding Yuan did.

And Ma Chao was really a little confused at this time, because he was in the historical impression he knew.Ding Yuan was a loyal minister with a strong personality. He hated Dong Zhuo as a traitor, so he sent troops to surround Luoyang against Dong Zhuo... But from Li Ru's tone, it seemed that it was not the case at all!
"The doctor's words are reasonable, but even though Na Dingyuan was only a warrior, it can be seen that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are very dissatisfied with the abolition of the Grand Master..."

"My lord, I misunderstood. Confucianism means that only the scholar Lu Zhi opposed it at that time. As for the warriors who deeply believed in loyalty to the emperor, such as Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun, they also opposed it. However, these people did not control the core politics of the Han Dynasty. Scholars. In this way, did my lord understand?" After Li Ru explained this, he still said unwillingly: "As for the jumping beam clown Ding Yuan, he is just a traitor who wants to fish in troubled waters and gain some fame."

This?
This……

This fact immediately made Ma Chao feel like a thunderbolt.In an instant, his inherent understanding was overturned: Among the scholar-bureaucrats who supported the power system of the great man, only one upright Lu Zhi opposed it, and all the other officials remained silent?In this way, can it be inferred that the scholar group did not agree with the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty at all?

For the Liu family, Jiangshan, it's only a matter of time before it's over...

And Ding Yuan?
A possibility suddenly flashed in Ma Chao's mind: when Dong Zhuo mentioned the matter of abolishing the emperor, Ding Yuan acted so righteously, so Ding Yuan raised troops to surround Luoyang, which naturally made future generations think that Ding Yuan was trying to eliminate traitors.However, in fact, this should be a very clever preconceived illusion!

The matter of Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor was only talked about at that time, and not many people knew about it.It can even be said that Dong Zhuo is secretly showing an unspoken tacit understanding with those scholars, and has not put it into action at all.At this time, Ding Yuan led soldiers and horses to surround Luoyang, the capital... At that time, for example, in the eyes of ancient people like Li Ru, no matter how you say it, it was definitely Ding Yuan's blatant rebellion!But Dong Zhuo led the army to fight Ding Yuan, which represented the loyal side instead.

Then it can be further inferred from this that when Lv Bu rebelled against Dong Zhuo, it seems that it was not at all what later generations said, he killed his father for glory, but he really acted according to the order and was loyal to the Han? !
Ma Chao frowned. After entering Chang'an, he felt for the first time: There are really too many shady scenes in this history.Everything left to future generations seems not to be the original appearance at that time...
