Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Liu Ye not only first supported King Chenliu as the emperor and issued an edict to inform the world, but also consciously organized a group of literati to discredit the Pengcheng court.

"In the past, the great ancestors fought for hegemony with Xiang Wang Chuhan, and Xiang Wang set the capital in Pengcheng, and now Cao Cao is the successor to Xiang Wang! The people of the world should keep their eyes open and see the true face of Cao thief!"

"The king of the North land left the people behind and fled east, unbearable the task of the emperor, and Cao Thief seeks to re-establish himself as emperor. He is to imitate Dou Gu, Liang Ji, Dong Zhuo, and he is also a prime minister. He is a great traitor!"

In fact, the post of prime minister was abolished shortly after the founding of the Han dynasty, because the position of prime minister is so important, it can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people, and the strong prime minister can often control the government. When he is sick, the emperor will come to the door himself. visit.

Therefore, the power of the emperor was divided into three males. In fact, there has been no prime minister in the Han Dynasty. Since then, the generals have generally replaced them, such as the abolition of the king of Changyi Liu He, and the forced Han Xuan Emperor Liu Bingji to marry his daughter Huo Guang and Yan. Ran Leshi’s Dou Gu and poisoned the emperor’s Liang Ji were great generals.

The prime minister is Dong Zhuokai's precedent. After he arrived in Luoyang, he named himself Xiangguo, and after he arrived in Chang'an, he named himself Taishi. Later, after Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor Xian to Xuchang, he named himself the prime minister. From then on, the prime minister system was restored in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Bian appointed Cao Cao as the prime minister, and instead became an attack point in the general's shogunate.

At the same time, both the Luoyang and Pengcheng courts fought for the princes of the world, hoping to win the support of the princes of the world.

Yuzhou, Runan County.

"Big Brother!"

People came first before they arrived, and a shout was thunderous, and then only a figure came in like an iron tower, with a beard like a steel needle and a face like black coal, it was Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei asked loudly: "Big brother called me and second brother over, what is the matter? I'm training soldiers and horses, hehe, the white-eared soldiers under that boy's command are really powerful, but there are hundreds of them, I think two or three Thousands of people can't resist them."

"Well, the soldiers trained by Shuzhi are indeed good." Liu Bei nodded, but there was no smile on his face.

On the side, Guan Yu stroked the long beard under his jaw: "Third brother, eldest brother has something important to tell us, sit down."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "What do we brothers share with each other? The eldest brother just said so."

"Second brother, third brother." Liu Bei said slowly: "You all know the affairs of the two imperial courts of Luoyang and Pengcheng, right?"

Guan Yu's complexion was indifferent, while Zhang Fei's expression was strange: "Two courts? Is it possible that this big man has produced two emperors?"

"Yes, third brother." Liu Bei explained: "The emperor rushed east to Xuzhou, and he was embraced by Cao Cao as the emperor, and his capital was in Pengcheng. Luoyang was established as the capital, and the Yuan Jian’an was changed, so the folk name was Xidi."

"That's interesting." Zhang Fei asked puzzledly: "However, why does the emperor want to flee?"

"Huh!" A cold light appeared in Guan Yu's eyes: "Of course this matter has nothing to do with the general. Now what our army needs to do is to inform the world whether we should support the Eastern Emperor or the Western Emperor."

"This is really difficult." Zhang Fei grinned: "Yuqing helped us a lot, and also gave us Yuzhou as a place to settle down and build our lives. It stands to reason that we should support Yuqing, but Yuqing is an emperor. It seems we should support Dongdi."

After all, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei: "Brother, what do you think?"

Liu Bei was silent for a while before he said: "I'm waiting to support the Western Emperor. After all, Yuqing is not Dong Zhuo, he is the clan, no matter what he does, it is for the court."

"Haha, that's right!" Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Anyway, Big Brother and Yuqing are from the same clan and should support each other."

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and said nothing.

If you do not support the Western Emperor, Yuzhou is now surrounded by the Liangzhou Army on three sides, I am afraid...

Liu Bei and Lu Bu are inextricably linked with Liu Ye, and they are basically equivalent to Liu Ye's subsidiary forces. Therefore, they have announced their support for the Western Emperor and the Luoyang court, while other princes in the world have different responses.

Youzhou, right Beiping.

"The emperor rushed to the east, and named the capital Pengcheng, named Dongdi; Liu Ye supported King Chenliu as emperor, changed Yuan Jianan, named Xidi?"

Yuan Shao looked at the intelligence in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi could not help smiling when they saw Yuan Shao so happy. Since Yuan Shao withdrew his troops to Youzhou, his face was gloomy every day, but today he was laughing so much, so the two naturally asked.

"Why is my father so happy?"

"Hahaha! Xianfu, Xianyi." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Look, Cao Cao now supports Liu Bian as the emperor, and competes with Liu Xie, which means he has no advantage in the sense of justice."

"The ones who have gained the way will help more, those who have lost the way will help the few. This time I must make a big splash and mobilize more princes to support the Eastern Emperor and fight against Liu Ye's arrogance!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists and his eyes lit up.

"Unfortunately, it would be fine if the emperor was in my Youzhou." Yuan Tan suddenly sighed.

"Yeah... I hate that Cao Aman is actually bigger now." Yuan Shao snorted angrily. If he was still sitting in You and Ji Erzhou, he might have asked Cao Cao for the emperor.

In fact, in history, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, Yuan Shao was jealous and ordered Cao Cao to send the emperor to Zhencheng, but was rejected by Cao Cao because he took the emperor to make the princes' political advantage quickly manifest.

"Fine, oppose Liu Ye first, and talk about other things in the future." Yuan Shao snorted.

Yuan Shao, the governor of Youzhou, and Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, jointly claimed to support the Eastern Emperor.

At the same time, Yuan Shao personally wrote a letter to his ally Liu Biao, inviting Liu Biao to support Dongdi. However, Liu Biao was frightened by the open-jawed Nanyang army this time, so he did not support Yuan Shao as always, but accepted the appointment of Luoyang and Pengcheng at the same time, both of which were actually Jingzhou Mu.

In fact, Liu Biao has always been on the sidelines. The battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at Guandu was in full swing. Liu Biao was sitting on the 100,000 army of the seven counties of Jingxiang, but he did not move. He did not support Cao Cao or Yuan Shao. After dying of illness, Jingzhou's power did not expand any further. After Liu Cong ascended the throne, he directly surrendered to Cao Cao.

On the other hand, Zhang Lu from Hanzhong and Liu Yan from Yizhou supported the Western Emperor. The reason is simple, because of the simple geographical relationship. Liu Yan and Zhang Lu are closer to Luoyang, so Liu Ye supported King Chen Liu as the emperor. The news from Cao Cao was introduced to Bashu earlier than the news that Cao Cao supported Liu Bian, so the two supported the Western Emperor.
