Again, although the position of Shangshuling is not high, it is too important!

Once it is in the hands of someone, it is equivalent to controlling the entire political power of the Han Dynasty.

Because starting from the time of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, in view of the lessons learned from Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne, the Eastern Han Dynasty has not given real power to the three princes, but has put all administrative power into the hands of the emperor.

Obviously the emperor could not handle so many government affairs alone, so he set up a chancery to help the emperor handle government affairs.

This is actually somewhat equivalent to the later Manchu and Qing Dynasty’s Military Aircraft Department!

Of course, the military ministers in the Manchu Military Department were equivalent to prime ministers and had a respected status.

However, the organizational level of Shangshutai is very low. Shangshuling itself only has a thousand stones.

Just like a governor with 600 shi to balance a prefect with 2,000 shi, the Eastern Han Dynasty used a very low-grade ministerial desk to balance the three ministers and nine ministers of the imperial court.

Therefore, the Shangshutai is the central department for the operation of the entire imperial court, which is equivalent to a person's brain.

This is also in the original historical time and space, the Shangshutai continued to develop, and after reforms, its status continued to improve. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe finally became real prime ministers!

Then the emperor of the Tang Dynasty felt that the power of the Shangshutai was too great, so he turned the Shangshutai into the three provinces of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia. So the famous Three Provinces and Six Ministries came out in later generations!

In the Yuan Dynasty, provinces were set up in local areas, and provinces gradually became the name of local administrative agencies...

All in all, the Shangshu Taiwan is an extremely critical department, equivalent to the brains of the Eastern Han Dynasty court. Whoever can control the Shangshu Taiwan is equivalent to controlling the entire court.

Originally, if Dong Zhuo only had the Luoyang army, there would be nothing to worry about. But after Dong Zhuo took control of the Chancery... Yuan Wei was shocked to find that he was actually at risk of being sidelined by Dong Zhuo, a warrior!

No, Yuan Wei comforted himself. Dong Zhuo Wufu probably didn't have such big political ambitions. Moreover, Dong Zhuo had always been a side general and had never entered the center of the imperial court, so he probably couldn't use his power effectively.

However, Yuan Wei forgot one thing, and that was to beat the old master to death with random punches!

That's right, Dong Zhuo is not as proficient in various political methods and various conspiracies as an old bureaucrat and politician like him.

But the behavior of a warrior like Dong Zhuo has always been simple and direct.

The two of them were arguing just now about whether the young emperor Liu Bian should be killed. Yuan Wei was so worried that he didn't dare to do anything for a while. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he just threw away his hand.

Now, Dong Zhuo did not go back to his house directly, but took his troops to Yong'an Palace to directly kill Queen Mother He and He Miao's old mother Wuyang Jun!

When the news reached Yuan Wei's house, Yuan Wei was so angry that his hands and feet were cold. He was not angry because of the death of Queen Mother He and Lord Wuyang.

These two people are the remnants of the He family, and they are an eyesore if they stay here. Sooner or later, we will have to find a chance to deal with them!

But Dong Zhuo directly killed Empress Dowager He and his daughter without Yuan Wei's consent.

This clearly means that Yuan Wei doesn't take him seriously!

But the problem is that Yuan Wei couldn't think of a way to deal with Dong Zhuo for a while. This made Yuan Wei feel a sense of loss of control for a while.

Outside, 200,000 troops led by Xuzhou Mu Zheng Xiaoming were pressing down on Luoyang. Inside, Dong Zhuo lost control and refused to obey orders. This gave Yuan Wei a headache for a while and he didn't know what to do next!

At this time, he had realized that he must save the life of the young emperor Liu Bian no matter what, and leave a way out for the Yuan family in Runan with Zheng Xiaoming.

Otherwise, if the young emperor dies, Zheng Xiaoming will be angered. Zheng Xiaoming will definitely put all the accounts on the head of his Runan family. At that time, if everything fails, I am afraid that not even a single person in the entire Yuan family will be left alive!

So Yuan Wei said in a deep voice to Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu: "Your brother rushes immediately, takes King Hongnong out, and finds a place to hide!"

Brothers Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu were all stunned: "Uncle?"

You must know that some time ago, it was Yuan Wei who personally took off the seal ribbon worn by the deposed emperor Hongnong Wang Liu Bian, presented it to Chenliu Wang Liu Xie, and took the lead in congratulating Chenliu Wang Liu Xie on his assumption of the throne as emperor.

It can be said that Yuan Wei offended Liu Bian to death!

Therefore, Liu Bian must not be given a chance to reset. If he finds an opportunity in a few years, he will definitely be killed.

But why did Yuan Wei ask his brother to protect Liu Bian now?

Yuan Wei sighed: "You can't go too far! You have to leave a way for others, and you have to leave a way for yourself!"

Yuan Shu disagreed with this. He was nicknamed "The Brave Ghost on the Road" and he was very straightforward and daring in doing things. This is also the common point of some dandy boys. They are not afraid of anything and they dare to do anything. How can you listen to it?

His uncle's remarks?

But just when he wanted to refute, Yuan Wei glared at him and shouted: "Go quickly!"

Under the prestige of his uncle and elders, Yuan Shu did not dare to say anything more. He could only go with Yuan Ji and his family's private soldiers to hide the young emperor Liu Bian!

The Luoyang court was involved in a series of lawsuits and was involved in various internal fights. Naturally, they couldn't care less about the war at this time!

Of course, this is also because the Eight Passes in Luoyang are quite steep.

Especially during the Yellow Turban Rebellion five years ago, Emperor Ling ordered the Eight Passes of Luoyang to be rebuilt and the eight passes were guarded by school captains. This also made the Eight Passes of Luoyang even more dangerous.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou soldiers and horses were defending, which made these levels even more difficult to attack.

Even a few days ago, Sun Jian's attack on Yique Pass was defeated and he was disgraced!

You must know that Sun Jian was also a warrior who fought on the battlefield, and I believe he will gain fame immediately.

This time is the biggest opportunity in his life! As long as he follows Zheng Xiaoming's footsteps, breaks Luoyang and takes charge of the government, Sun Jian will naturally become a prosperous person in the future, and his future is limitless.

On the other hand, if Zheng Xiaoming loses, then he will definitely not end well.

Therefore, this battle is particularly important for Sun Jian. He has Zheng Xiaoming's appointment, and he is also a famous general who has fought in many battles. Therefore, it is easy to control the Jingzhou army.

He was so eager to perform his service that he directly launched an attack on Yique Pass without waiting for the army led by Zheng Xiaoming to arrive. However, he was hit on the head at the foot of Yique Pass and his head was bleeding.

Yique Pass is a dangerous place, located between two mountains and a river. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Sun Jian did not make much preparation and went directly to attack. As a result, not only did he fail to capture Yique Pass, but he was defeated by the troops led by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

A surprise attack by horse will result in the loss of troops and generals, and a disgraceful appearance.

After all, the land of Jingzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is really not very good.
