Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

The imperial court's right to speak is currently clearly divided between the two factions.

One is the ministers of public affairs headed by Tai Fu Yuan Kui, and the other is the relatives headed by the Empress Dowager He.

With the eradication of treacherous craftsmen and eunuchs this time, the former won applause from the scholars, and his momentum soared; the latter was once in full swing, but after He Jin died unexpectedly, his younger brother He Miao was also detained for being too close to the eunuch. A scapegoat for colluding with the powerful officials, they were chopped off at the same time, and all their old minions were recruited by the former.

As the situation ebbs and flows, the vigor of the foreign relatives is greatly injured, and the power is greatly reduced, while the ministers are trying to seize all the power in one go and monopolize the power of the court.

But none of them ignored it. What Du Yanqing could see clearly was that Yuan Shao had summoned him to Beijing to frighten Empress Dowager He. On the surface, it was a dog for the Yuan family to drive at will, but in fact it was Dong Zhuo, a vicious wolf with his own plans.

Regardless of the fact that General He Jin's old unit was taken over by the Yuan family, more than half of it fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo's younger brother and Dong Min, who were then Captain Fengche.

In the eyes of the Yuan family, they were all obtained by people from Tai Fu Yuan Kai's faction, and there seemed to be no difference.

But in the eyes of Yan Qing and Dong Zhuo, the difference is gone.

The Empress Dowager He is not unaware of the seriousness of the situation, but judging from her demeanor behind the curtain, it can be seen that she is not a noble widow who is willing to retreat to the harem and keep her ears closed.

She was not reconciled to let the faction of her relatives fall into decline, so she also called Lord Wuyang and others to select some Zhilan Yushu from among the tribe of He surnamed to replenish fresh blood.

However, the nouveau riche who was born in Tugu and relied on nepotism to reach the sky in one step, has not even read a few books.

Rao Empress Dowager He was so anxious that there were not many decent He family members who could compete with Taifu Yuan Wei's faction.

At this juncture, Dong Zhuo, who "continuously" transported the Xiliang army into the capital, is crucial.

The Yuan family was very dissatisfied with his self-assertion, they were shocked and angry, but they didn't dare to break their face and start a war with him.

It's not purely because of the fear of Xiliang soldiers' bravery, but because at this critical moment of fighting for power, Taifu Yuan Wei's faction can't be stabbed from behind by people from his own side, which leads to the destruction of the entire political layout.

At that time, exhausted from internal strife, but let the dying relatives breathe a sigh of relief, wouldn't it make people beat their chests and stamp their feet?

Dong Zhuo was well aware of this point, and in addition he was very cunning, relying on the fact that he had been an old official of the Yuan family, he had always been loyal to the people he was relying on on the surface until the moment when the winning ticket was in his hands. The Yuan family behaved submissively and obediently.

It successfully paralyzed the vigilance of the always arrogant Yuan family.

Even though Dong Zhuo refused to return to the decree at this moment, but showed a strong posture of stationing the army in the capital, the Yuan family was only dissatisfied, and always believed that he was enough to control this unruly Xiliang general, and had no ambitions. Expansion, thinking about turning the customer into the center.

In the eyes of the Yuan family, no matter how rough and savage Dong Zhuo was, he could still be called obedient in front of the Yuan family who had the honor of promoting him.

In any case, it is closer and more credible than a relative who is a sworn enemy.

But Yan Qing understood—it was because of Yuan's family's wishful thinking that he indulged the other party every step of the way, and told this old and cunning old thief Dong to succeed in deceiving the world and succeed in his scheme of deterrence. Add the most terrifying third faction.

Yan Qing was not a selfless patriarch, but as a person who knew the course of history, he couldn't have allowed Dong Zhuo, a wicked and innumerable devil king, to do anything wrong and kill all living beings.

The emperor gave him the high position of Sikong, Yan Qing was not only in return, but also for his own abacus, so he simply played a young, energetic, arrogant and pure minister.

As the so-called persimmons need to find soft and expensive ones, as the next Patriarch appointed by the Yuan family, he is well-known enough, and his qualifications are still young. Yuan Shao, who looks tolerant but narrow-minded, is Yan Qing's favorite target.

The corners of Yan Qing's lips raised, revealing a beautiful and provocative smile, squinting his eyes slightly, looking straight at Yuan Shao, and asking three consecutive questions with full momentum.

"Ask! Dong Zhuo, who is a former official of his family?"

Yuan Shao looked worried, but he didn't think it was serious, so he replied calmly, "It's my Yuan family."

"Second question! Who was Dong Zhuo called into the capital?"

Yuan Shao paused for a moment, and simply put the blame on He Jin: "It was General He who advocated calling foreign generals to Beijing, so as to make peace with the eunuch."

"Three questions." Yan Qing was not in a hurry to expose him, just raised his eyebrows and smiled, and continued: "The palace was on fire that day, and the forbidden army entered like a tiger, killing indiscriminately, and everyone was in danger. His Majesty and King Chen Liu were threatened by traitors. , flowed out of the palace, in a dangerous situation, the queen mother was frightened, and the jade seal was stolen... May I ask the culprit that caused the chaos that day, whose family set the fire?"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, leaned forward, and said with a sneer, "It's me, Yuan Gonglu! At that time, the rebels acted fiercely, and it was for an extraordinary time, for their destruction—"

Before Yuan Shu, who interrupted, could finish speaking, Yan Qing laughed three times, then raised his voice and cursed: "An extraordinary person can only do extraordinary things when he encounters an extraordinary opportunity! The forbidden area in the palace is where His Majesty lives deeply." So, He Lun got you, a mere Huben Zhonglang who is eager to do meritorious service, and will set fires everywhere, and lead a group of reckless men to burn down the palace, and in the end, it turns the cart before the horse, causing chaos in the capital, and endangering His Majesty's golden body?!"

"Those traitors who caused chaos in the court, but most of them were so weak that they couldn't lift their hands or shoulders. If you choose a jailer and you can get rid of them all, why do you need to labor tens of thousands of forbidden troops first, and then burn the palace? If you are not eloquent, you are weak and incompetent As a martial artist, he even has to rely on the power of fire to kill eunuchs! He dares to speak plausibly, it is really shameless!"

At that time, Yuan Shu was just a general in the middle of the pack, but he was arrogant and conceited by nature, and was scorned by Yan Qing, a villager whom he looked down on from the bottom of his heart, so angry that he trembled all over, his face flushed, and he didn't speak for a while.

"As for you, Yuan Shao," the so-called three questions are just a prelude, a small appetizer. After pointing out that Dong Zhuo is related to the Yuan family from head to toe, and all the disasters are related to Yuan's family from beginning to end, Yan Qing unceremoniously sends him to the door. Yuan Shu came in a second, and then his momentum soared, and he forced Yuan Shao angrily: "General He believed more than you, listened to your slander, and summoned three foreign troops to Beijing. At that time, the credit was due to you, and you made a leap." Lieutenant Cheng Sili, now you dare to push all your faults to the top of the general?"

"At that time, the imperial army was under your control, and the eunuchs even knelt in front of the general's mansion, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, begging for mercy, and letting others beat them. Why was it necessary to call foreign officials into the city? If it was for intimidation, who was it? Is it the eunuch, or the queen mother in the palace?"

"It's a pity that you were born in a famous family and read a lot of poetry and books, but you are just a bastard on the outside, but a fool on the inside! You don't understand the principle of jumping over the wall that even young children know! Before the general gave orders that day, you made your own decisions and hunted down The family members of the eunuch forced him to make a desperate move and took the life of the general! Not only did you not repent, you entered the palace and ran wild with your troops, and then you became mad and slaughtered the eunuchs. And innocent people were killed!"

Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to argue, but Yan Qing didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Yan Qing knew in his heart that Yuan's family had the most officials in the court, followed by the wait-and-see faction. After he said this, no matter how reasonable he was, it was impossible to get the approval of his political opponents. Just watch it as a good show, and you won't kneel down and accept the surrender with a flick of his tiger's body, and stand in line easily.

Yan Qing's interpretation was mainly for the sake of the relatives and the emperor (the queen mother is listening to the government behind the curtain).

Both Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian had very limited knowledge and literacy. Yan Qing was not good at citing scriptures and dragging words, but it was not suitable for these two audiences.

You have to scold incisively and vividly, with subtlety and boldness, in plain language and easy to understand, so that they can understand and feel happy.

In particular, Yan Qing's dirty water is one pot after another, nine points are true and one point is the worst fake, anyone who listens has reason.

At first Liu Bian was worried about the courtiers quarreling, he was in a difficult situation as the emperor, at this time he had already put aside the matter of persuading the quarrel and making troubles, and listened intently and with great interest.

A beauty who looks like a fairy, even in an aggressive posture, will not appear ugly and hateful, on the contrary, it will make the clever light in his eyes even more precious, and the beauty that glows in his expression is hard to find.

And Liu Bian's idea is absolutely impossible to get the approval of Yuan Shao who is being roasted alive by Yan Qing.

I just hate that his reaction was originally very slow (famously slow in history), coupled with the anger of being scolded for the first time in his life, his brain turned even slower, and he was detained to death by Yan Qing immediately, He was scolded bloody: "...the so-called captain of Sili should be omnipotent and important. It is a majestic position, so you can be disrespectful to the three officials! You are disrespectful, and you don't conduct supervision. Even if the wolves, tigers and leopards enter the city and take the male position as the female position, why not just resign!"

Yuan Shao was furious, and now he didn't even think about it, and immediately scolded back: "This is a bunch of nonsense! Shao is dedicated to the country and the people, hardworking, never neglected, and never did anything unnoticed. Dong Zhuo has a lot of vicious soldiers , if he is completely enraged, there will be endless troubles..."

Yan Qing listened to his defense for a long time, but didn't get to the point of the defense. She sneered in her heart, but her face was only cold, and she blocked him at both ends, charged him with crimes, and defined him: "Dong Zhuo's coming to Beijing to harm the people has become a reality. But you still think that the more soldiers and horses he has under him, the more he will be good? You are the captain of Sili, and you don’t know the details—you don’t know the details, and you don’t drive them away—he has nothing to worry about. You don’t have any real actions, you only know Submissive in front of the strong, show off in front of the weak, bully the weak and fear the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death, have no integrity, how can you be worthy of being a pillar of a man! At this difficult time, you can’t show that you killed eunuchs and innocent people The courage!"

"Furthermore, you still dare to let his younger brother Dong Min be in charge of the imperial army! When Dong Zhuo stands firm and cooperates with his younger brother internally and externally, it will be unfavorable to His Majesty, and a catastrophe is approaching. How can you deal with it?! If it weren't for you With a heart of protection, secretly colluding to usurp the reality of the government, it is a blind eye and a crime of ignorance!"

"Dong Zhuo is neither a minister nor an inferior, the late emperor has seen it before, and repeatedly issued edicts to reprimand him for taking office, are you blind or deaf, so you don't know anything about him, treat him like a docile lamb, and bring him in again? "

"It's ridiculous! Dong Zhuo is a man who pretends to be kind, but he is rebellious. Don't even think that he has never listened to His Majesty's edict, and holds the military power to death. If he didn't have other pursuits and schemes, how could he be sincere to your Yuan family? Sincerely convinced! Thanks to your ignorance of being taken advantage of, you can safely raise a tiger like a dog, and sooner or later you will suffer backlash, and you deserve it! But you, the Yuan family, have suffered on your own, how dare you drag His Majesty and the people of the world!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were invincible, Yuan Kai could not go into battle in person to quarrel with a young junior in court because of his honor as the Taifu. Looking at the banished fairy skin and looking at the gentle and handsome villain, he questioned politely.

Yan Qing was not at all afraid of them playing wheel battles, and faced the battle vigorously and vigorously, and cleaned up a few of them.

Some people dared to claim that Dong Zhuo was a descendant of Marquis Dong, and that he was a distant relative with the late Empress Dowager Dong to prove the rationality of Yuan Shao calling him into the capital, so as to clear Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao.

Yan Qing laughed out loud when he heard this, and mercilessly caught him and sarcastically said: "You have worked so hard to grab a fig leaf for Dong Zhuo and put gold on your face."

Compared to the person's surname and Dong Zhuo's nonsense talk, Yan Qing is the one who knows the details of the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo very well, so he said bluntly on the spot: "Talking about the native place, Empress Xiaoren Dong is from Jizhou River Dong Zhuo is from Jian country, but Dong Zhuo is from Lintao County, Longxi County, Liangzhou, and the place where he was born is still in Lunshi County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away. Tell me, who is this "descendant"? What's the next way?"

Immediately asked the man to cover his face with his sleeve and was silent.

In the end, Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He, who were still complacent and fascinated, were afraid that he would lose the upper hand in the battle against the Confucians, so they clapped their hands and dispersed the court.

Yan Qing was left alone, and called into the hall to talk about it in detail.

Although Yan Qing was flattered on the face, in his heart he understood and was calm.

This is just one step closer to his planned goal.
