Chapter 12 8. Stop playing with the leader

Not long after, Han Sui joined forces with Ma Teng again, and came back after fighting, still under the resounding banner of "the side of the Qing emperor".However, Dong Zhuote was also vigorous and defeated the two of them again. The good news spread to the imperial court, so the imperial court held a celebration and commendation meeting.At the meeting, leaders at all levels spoke one after another, saying: "The chaos in the borderlands can almost be seen. Whether it is Han Sui or Ma Teng, they are just pearls of rice grains, and they have no brilliance to release." But the problem is, this Dong Zhuo is too disrespectful. If he wins a battle today, he will make a military exploit tomorrow. Our court has to express it, right? Reward, I rewarded him with all the money, what do we all eat?"

Dong Zhuo can't be allowed to go on like this. If things go on like this, the country will be ruined!Everyone shouted. But how can we stop Dong Zhuo's spoof?Everyone worked together, came up with ideas, and finally decided to use the method against Cao Cao to deprive Dong Zhuo of his military power.Without military power, if you don't believe him, Dong Zhuo is ashamed to make another military exploit. According to historical records, Dong Zhuo became more and more powerful, and he no longer obeyed the restraint of the imperial court.In order to calm him down, the imperial court transferred him to the Shaofu, intending to seize his military power.

So what is the name of this Shaofu position? Shaofu, which began in the Warring States period and followed the Qin and Han Dynasties, is one of the Jiuqing.In charge of taxation and royal handicraft manufacturing in the mountains, seas and swamps, it is the emperor's private residence... This position is similar to the current director of the State Administration of Taxation and the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. The angel delivered the decree and left, but Dong Zhuo's reply came. Dong Zhuo said in the letter: "Dear leaders at all levels, I have received a new appointment. Dong Zhuo, I am full of energy, and I am ready to go. I am determined in my heart that I will never let down the cultivation of leaders at all levels. I will work in my new position. , make persistent efforts, and make new achievements. But as soon as I was about to go out, the soldiers stopped in front of me, crying like tears, saying: The imperial court owed the soldiers wages, and they have not yet distributed them. The rations transported , but also because the road was cut off, the goods never arrived. Now the soldiers and their families are so hungry that they are so hungry that their eyes are black. While crying, the soldiers grabbed my skirt and refused to let me go Take office. Dear leaders at all levels, as long as I, Dong Zhuo, receive an order, I will execute it without compromise. Before executing the order, I will comfort these soldiers who are about to starve to death. ..."

Everyone read Dong Zhuo's reply over and over again: What do you mean?What does Dong Zhuo mean by writing this? What else could it mean?Dong Zhuo doesn't want to play with leaders at all levels anymore!But why? He is no longer the impulsive, simple-minded young man who kills cattle to entertain guests; he is no longer the passionate soldier who distributes all the rewards from the court to the soldiers without taking any money.At that time, Dong Zhuo was surprisingly simple-minded.And the reason why he is innocent is because he is young and he can afford to lose! When he killed the only farm cattle in his family, he did not expect that those bold Qiang warriors would immediately return his thousand horses.When he distributed all the silk rewards from the court to the sergeants, he may not have the intention of immediately taking back the rewards.It's just that he was young at the time, and he was good at martial arts, so he had enough youth to squander.So he is magnanimous, he is selfless.

And now, the cost of his life has run out, and aging has taken hold of him irresistibly.The decline of physical strength caused his flexible skills to become increasingly bloated.Now his only capital is the power in his hands, those iron-blooded troops who are willing to obey his orders. If you hand over the military power in your hands, what will be left of Dong Zhuo? nothing! Young people can't afford to lose because they don't know their youth.The old people can't afford to lose, but it is because they know their own aging. Dong Zhuo is no longer the former Dong Zhuo, but the empire is still the previous empire.

This cognitive contrast has since made history embark on an inevitable path. Disobedience! Moving to Hedong, Dong Zhuo quietly watched the changes in the current situation.
