Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 44 Deposed Emperor

   Sure enough, as Fei Qian guessed, Cai Yong's anger came from the abolition of the emperor. Strictly speaking, it was not because of the result of the abolition of the emperor, but more in the process of abolishing the emperor.

  At the Great Court Meeting today, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the civil and military occasion to announce to the crowd: "The Son of Heaven is weak and not strong enough to rule the world. Today there is a policy document, which should be read." Then he ordered Li Ru to read the policy document for the dethroning of the emperor.

   Li Ru's voice of reading out the text made Han Shaodi so frightened that he was sweating and panicked.

With the acquiescence of Wang Yun and Yuan Kai, Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the emperor. No one in the civil and military scriptures of the Manchu Dynasty said anything, except for the Shangshu. Yin Fang’s Tong Palace. The King of Changyi was established for twenty-seven days, and he committed a thousand crimes, so Huo Guang abolished it. Today, he is richer than the Spring and Autumn Period, and his actions have not been lost. The precedent ministers Yi Yin and Huo Guang who abolished the emperor both had legitimate reasons. Dong Zhuo, you are not justified.

  After speaking, Lu Zhi saw that the matter was irreversible, so he went straight to the court, resigned and went to Gujundu Mountain to live in seclusion.

Poor Han Shaodi was sitting on the throne. When Lu Zhi stood up at the beginning, he was full of hope and looked around to see if other ministers could come up against Dong Zhuo and help him to say something, but it seemed that he only saw a group of people like Dong Zhuo. For the ministers who lowered their heads like quails, the eyes of Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, gradually dimmed.

  The dramatic scene appeared like this.

  Han Shaodi’s crown seal was removed, and King Chenliu was invited to the throne. A group of people seemed to have rehearsed countless times, and they congratulated the original King Chenliu and the new emperor...

  During the current dynasty, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the prime minister, declaring that the Dong family had officially become the largest party of foreign relatives conferred by the court...

Cai Yong’s anger was actually not only Dong Zhuo’s abolition of the emperor, but also the acquiescence and non-resistance of the angry ministers, including himself of course—for a moment, he had the urge to rush forward and speak generously with Lu Zhi , but thinking of his family, thinking of Cai Yan, he hesitated again, just followed Daliu in a daze, and completed the whole process of the young emperor's abdication and the new emperor's enthronement.

  But after going to court and returning home, Cai Yong felt that what he had done today conflicted with the Confucianism he had learned, but he couldn't vent his conflicting emotions, so he had to hold back his anger in his heart.

   Seeing Fei Qian who was standing by the side with his hands down, Cai Yong endured the aggrieved emotions, and remembered that Fei Qian came to thank his teacher today, so he forced Fei Qian to say a few words.

  But at the end of the talk, Cai Yong couldn't hold back in the end, and asked Fei Qian, "Ziyuan, what do you think about the matter of 'you can make up for your mistakes, but you can't do away with them'?"

  Although Fei Qian subconsciously immediately wanted to follow up the classic phrase "There must be something wrong with this matter", but after all, Cai Yong was seeking a moral explanation in the name of literary excellence, so Fei Qian naturally couldn't be so shameless.

   "If you can make up for your faults, you can't do away with them" from Zuo Zhuan's Jin Linggong Biography.

  Jin Linggong is a person full of advanced tastes. He even likes to use a slingshot on the high platform of the palace wall to shoot people’s little chirps. He feels very happy when he sees pedestrians avoiding him...

   It is unique that a dignified prince likes to do this kind of thing.

  So the ministers of Jin Linggong are very worried, and feel that they want to guide Jin Linggong to the right path of advanced ballistics, and they can't play with slingshots all day long, which is useless.

So a minister, Zhao Dun, went to persuade Jin Linggong, but Jin Linggong said he knew it, and he would correct it, but he didn’t. Protecting the body, he failed to kill him several times, so he killed Duke Ling of Jin in turn, welcomed the prince of Jin, Black Butt, and made Black Butt the king.

In fact, Fei Qian has seen Zuo Zhuan, and he is quite familiar with Zuo Zhuan. Every time he sees this place, Fei Qian wants to laugh. How simple people were in the Spring and Autumn Period. The name is really good, and what an image—Black Butt , Wow Ka Ka Ka... still the king...

However, the point of Cai Yong's question today is not whether the monarch's buttocks are white or black, but quoting Jin Linggong to allude to what happened at the court meeting today-"If the king can make up for the mistakes, the cockroaches will not be abandoned"-if Han Shaodi can Shouldn't the emperor be abolished if he corrected his mistakes? Even if Han Shaodi was at fault, shouldn't he be persuaded first, because it is hopeless before taking the path of finally abolishing the emperor?

Because in the Confucian concept, no matter how stupid, stupid, cruel, wicked, or perverted the so-called "Son of Heaven" is, it is "sacred" and should not be offended. Jun, blasphemy, committed the crime of rioting.

  Therefore Cai Yong felt that when the emperor was at fault, he had to persuade him, but he himself failed to do so.

Fei Qian thought for a while, he is good at everything, but he is a little too idealistic, you didn't see that there were not many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and most of them were happy to welcome the new emperor, so who else would care about the deposed emperor? ah?

  But you can't just tell Cai Yong like this, otherwise you won't be scolded to death by Cai Yong. Even though Cai Yong didn't dare to scold Dong Zhuo in the court, Cai Yong didn't feel that he dared to scold his disciples.

Fei Qian thought for a while and said: "Song and Chu made an alliance under the city, and the alliance said, 'I will not lie to you, and you will have no danger to me. Everything can be overthrown openly, let alone an emperor now, master, you are a gentleman of integrity to others, but not everyone is a gentleman of integrity!

  Who doesn't cheat? If you don't cheat, it will be difficult to stand firm and seek benefits for yourself. The so-called "unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period" also includes conflicts of interests between countries to a certain extent, and always contains elements of fraud.

  The current situation is also the same. You see that Dong Zhuo’s army is approaching the city of Luoyang. In this case, what is the second choice? What's more, isn't the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty seeking their own interests? Why didn't the Yuan family and the Wang family say a word? Isn't there any fraud or profit behind it?

  Cai Yong let out a long sigh: "That's what I said, but..." Cai Yong didn't finish the sentence, but he understood the meaning. Everyone understands the truth, but when encountering practical problems, it is often not always possible to do it.

  Cai Yong shook his head. Although he seemed a little more relieved than before, he was still not in a good mood. He patted Fei Qian on the shoulder and told Fei Qian to go back to study better.

  When Fei sneaked out of Cai’s mansion, he still wondered if Cai Yong’s personality became the reason for the contradictory crying Dong Zhuo in history? But looking at it now, Dong Zhuo didn't give Cai Yong a big official position, Cai Yong shouldn't be grateful to Dong Zhuo, right?

  Fei Qian thought about it, in order to ensure that his guess was correct, he felt that it was necessary to go to another person to test it out, although it was quite difficult...

There is no such person as Ding Guan in history, only Ding Guan, but this Ding Guan, hehe, and Lu Zhi resigned when the emperor was abolished, not before the abolition of the emperor... Lu Zhi is the only one who speaks out of justice in history... There are some interesting fictitious ones in Romance, which I tried my best to restore, but for those wonderful ones, let’s follow the Romance... It’s not easy for newcomers to ask for recommendation tickets and collections...
