<h1>introduction</h1>
By the end of the 2nd century AD, the Eastern Han Dynasty was terminally ill and troubled. In 184, a "Yellow Turban Uprising" swept the country, which made the entire empire even more angry.
However, the worm with a hundred feet, dead but not stiff, the tenacity of a dynasty was revealed at a critical moment: with the joint efforts of a group of famous generals of the last days, such as Huang Fusong, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, etc., this seemingly huge uprising was quickly suppressed, and the empire seemed to have ushered in an opportunity to continue its life.
Moreover, because of the emergence of one person, chinese history has appeared several possibilities of different directions at this point in time in 184 AD.
This man is Emperor Fusong!
<h1>02</h1>
<h1>The first possibility of the Eastern Han Dynasty</h1>
It was also Huang Fusong's first chance: ZTE Dahan.
Emperor Fusong was born into a family of eunuchs, his father Emperor Fujie, Ren Yanmen Taishou, and uncle Emperor Fugui, a general of Rendu Liao.
The origin of the family, Emperor Fusong's literary and martial all-rounder, early on "raising filial piety and honesty as Langzhong, moving the Baling Tomb and Linfen Ling", and later went to the official because of Ding's father's worries.
In 184, the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" broke out, "the prefectures and counties lost their ground, and the chief officials fled." Between the ten days, the world responded, and the Kyoshi shook." Moreover, both Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun's central army and Dong Zhuo's local army were defeated and returned without success.
Emperor Fusong judged the situation and advised Emperor Ling to "lift the party ban, benefit the Money from The Middle Tibet, the Horses in the Western Garden, and the Sergeant of the Class", "The Emperor obeys ... With Song as the left middle lang general, holding the knot... Yellow Turban of Yingchuan".
Since then, Huang Fusong has opened a period of "open and hanging life".
Changshe City burned the camp, with less victory and more, the big thief will be BoCai, "beheading tens of thousands of levels", Emperor Fusong was awarded the title of Marquis of the Capital;
Yu Cangting "raw birds bu himself, beheaded more than 7,000 levels";
"Fighting with Jiaodi Liang at Guangzong... Great break, cut off the beam, get the first thirty thousand levels";
Fu and Julu Taishou Feng Yi Guo Dian attacked the horned brother Bao yu in lower Quyang, and then beheaded it. The first to capture more than 100,000 people, the construction of the capital in the south of the city." Therefore, "Bai Song rode the cart for the left car, led the Ji Prefecture Pastor, sealed the Marquis of Huaili, and the two counties of Huaili and Meiyang, and belonged to Fufeng." eight thousand households".
Moreover, because Zhang Jiao had already died of illness, the "Yellow Turban Uprising" had actually been put down, and the lingering Eastern Han Dynasty was like getting a "returning soul", and a trace of blood appeared on the dying face.
The dynasty seems to have the appearance of "ZTE"!
At this time, Huang Fusong had the conditions to become a hero of the difficulties and a famous general of ZTE. Moreover, Xindu Ling Yan Zhong also gave him suggestions and specific measures:
"Chong'en is attached to Sui first, Zhenwu is to serve later, the soldiers of the Conquest Fang, the people of the Seven States are moved, the Yu Islean is the first to gallop in the front, the great army is vibrating in the rear, the River is flowing, the horse Mengjin is drunk, the sins of the eunuch officials are cursed, and the accumulation of the group of murderers is removed."
Not to mention what the ultimate purpose of Yan Zhong's words was, if Emperor Fusong followed this suggestion, it would be no problem to castrate officials, eliminate the group of murderers, recruit the virtuous, revitalize the dynasty, and let the Eastern Han Dynasty continue to live for a few decades.
However, Huang Fusong was too loyal and upright, and second, he lacked lofty ambitions and ambitions, or had no ambition. He only wanted to be a loyal servant, or even just a bureaucrat: the court had a problem, and he would not quit his job; if there was nothing, he would rather retire from his post and become an official, rather than be right or wrong.
Therefore, he was at best a Zeng Guofan-like figure, destined not to become Cao Cao or Sima Yi.

<h1>The second possibility of the Eastern Han Dynasty</h1>
It was also Emperor Fusong's second chance: to stand on his own two feet.
"Song breaks the yellow scarf and threatens the world." At this time, Emperor Fusong not only made great achievements in the world, the hopes of the government and the opposition were rising, but also controlled the most elite troops of the empire - in the chaotic world, the importance of the "barrel of the gun" was self-evident.
Yan Zhong discovered this problem.
Yan Zhong asked: The general is now "a man who does not reward merit in his own construction, and who is both a high man of virtue", but he is serving a weak monarch, how can you ensure your own safety?
Huang Fusong said: I work hard and be loyal to the country, so why should I worry about safety?
Yan Zhong said: It turned out that Han Xin also thought the same thing, because he was grateful for Liu Bang's kindness and could not bear to betray, and only when "the sword had already been carried out of his throat" did he regret not being able to do it at the beginning. Now the emperor's ability is not as good as Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but the power of the general is far greater than That of Han Xin, what you should do now is to conform to the times, chong'en Zhenwu, curse the eunuchs, and eliminate the traitors," and then call god, show the Mandate of Heaven, mix the Six Harmonies, weigh the system in the south, move the treasure to the general Xing, and push the Han to the fall" - nakedly let the Emperor Fu Song himself become the emperor.
What did Yan Zhong say about Han Xin?
Not to mention, although the situation facing Huang Fusong at that time was different from That of Han Xin, the opportunities were the same.
In the third year of the Chu-Han rivalry, Xiang Yu was "trapped between Jing and Suo, forcing the Western Mountains to enter". And Liu Bang was not much better, "Defeat Xingyang, injure Chenggao, and leave between Wan and Ye... Wisdom and courage are trapped.". At this time, The Zongheng family also advised Han Xin, the king of Qi, who had a heavy army, to take advantage of the fact that Liu and Xiang Erhu were fighting and were exhausted, "According to Qi, from Yan and Zhao, out of the empty land and subdued, because of the people's desire, Xixiang asked for the people's lives, and the world went away and responded... Obey and return to Virtue. ”
However, as a generation of "gods of war", Han Xin's political IQ was extremely low, "hesitating and not being able to bear to double han, and thinking that he had done a lot of work", Liu Bang would not do anything to him, so he rejected Pu Tong.
Emperor Fusong also rejected Yan Zhong, which should be related to his origin and education, so he chose to "be loyal to this dynasty and keep his subjects' festivals... As if by name, dead and immortal"
Helplessly, Qin lost his deer, and the whole world chased it away. The Eastern Han Dynasty was such a ripe fruit, Emperor Fusong did not want it, and some people wanted it.
For example, Dong Zhuo.
(Ku Tong advises Han Xin)
<h1>04</h1>
<h1>The third possibility of the Eastern Han Dynasty</h1>
It was also Emperor Fusong's third chance: Xue Dongzhuo.
When Dong Zhuo appeared, the Eastern Han Dynasty had been completely disrupted after the establishment of the "Yellow Turban Uprising" and the "State Pastoral" system. At this time, only one foot away from extinction.
This kick, Dong Zhuo stepped on - monopolizing the dynasty, deposing the emperor, moving the capital to Chang'an, and then the Han Xiandi was kicked around like a toy - the basic political structure and state functions of the dynasty no longer existed.
To be precise, the country is no longer a country!
And Emperor Fusong had a chance to prevent all this from happening, because he had the opportunity to kill this rogue thief.
Two people have never been at odds, and their values are too different.
Since ancient times, jealousy of the ability of the virtuous and mutual tilting has been an iron law of the officialdom, and those who are bent on serving the public will always be hated by selfish desires, such as Fan Ju harming Bai Qi, Guo Kai harming Li Mu, Qin Ju harming Yue Fei, and so on.
Huang Fusong also received "special care" from Dong Zhuo, the reason is that Huang Fusong not only worked hard and was loyal, but also far exceeded Dong Zhuo in terms of strategic vision and on-the-spot tactics on the battlefield, especially in the battle of Chen Cang, Huang Fusong insisted on his own thinking, and as a result, "the battle was broken, more than 10,000 people were beheaded, and (Wang) Guoguo died", and the Liangzhou rebellion was suppressed in one fell swoop, leaving Dong Zhuo's face in vain, "Zhuo was ashamed, and he was jealous of Song".
Another thing deepened the contradiction between the two.
In the sixth year (189) of emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court paid homage to Dong Zhuo as the pastor of The Prefecture, but asked him to hand over the soldiers to Emperor Fusong (陳统) (陳使) to emperor Fu Song (陳绖) by handing over the soldiers to Emperor Fusong (
Where can the "barrel of the gun" be handed over casually? "Outstanding".
Don't say it's a military order, don't even listen to the emperor's words, this nature is serious.
Emperor Fusong's nephew Emperor Fuli couldn't take it anymore, and he said to Emperor Fusong: Now that the government is in decline and the people are in distress, the only people who can help the poor are you and Dong Zhuo. Now you two are already at odds with each other. Dong Zhuo's disobedience was a great rebellion; the jingshi was in a daze, but he hesitated, which was ill-intentioned; and this person was "fierce and unaccompanied, and the generals were not attached." You should recruit him in the name of the state, be loyal to the superior, and eliminate the harm to the inferior, which is the same feat as the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen.
At the crucial moment, Emperor Fusong's loyal side once again prevailed: Dong Zhuo was guilty of disobedience, but it was not right for me to kill him privately, so it was better to play the imperial court in a bright and upright way and be punished by the imperial court.
The result is obvious, in the face of the growing Dong Zhuo. The emperor only gently criticized it, and Dong Zhuo once again put the account on the head of Emperor Fu Song (Emperor Zhuo, Zhuo again resented Song).
Heaven and The Devil take and suffer from it; when the time is not right, they suffer from it.
A few months later, the foreign relatives (He Jin) and the eunuchs were on fire, and Dong Zhuo entered the capital, sat on the profits, and quickly took control of the imperial government (Bingzheng), with revenge and resentment, and Emperor Fusong bore the brunt of it.
"In the first year of Chuping (190), Nai Zhengsong was made a lieutenant of the City Gate, because he wanted to kill him."
Changshi Liangyan once again suggested to Emperor Fusong that Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior was unpopular. He definitely didn't have a good heart when he recruited you, so it was better to use the name of the emperor to raise an army and attack yuan shao with the east and west, and he would be able to capture it in one fell swoop.
However, Emperor Fusong had a great style of extravagance in the Spring and Autumn Period, knowing that Dong Zhuo's appointment this time hid evil intentions, but still did not flee, let alone rebel like Liang Yan suggested, but calmly went to his post (Song did not obey, so he marched).
In fact, with Dong Zhuo's unpopularity at that time and Huang Fusong's personal ability and prestige, Liang Yan's suggestion actually had a great deal of operability and a possibility of success. But Huang Fusong said no again.
This was a relatively regrettable thing -- if Emperor Fusong had killed Dong Zhuo at that time, he would not only have eliminated harm for the people, but also committed adultery for the country. If so, the fate of the Eastern Han Dynasty really cannot be said, at least Cao Cao will not have the opportunity to "blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes."
(Dong Zhuo)
<h1>05</h1>
<h1>The last possibility of the Eastern Han Dynasty</h1>
Warlords divide.
If Emperor Fusong had done a little, Cao Cao would not have had the opportunity to "blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes", then the most likely situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty would be the warlord division, and a chaotic world similar to the "Five Hu Sixteen Kingdoms" or "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" would come early.
There are two reasons for this.
First, abolish Shi Limu.
This was the source of a major catastrophe in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the fifth year of emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (188 AD), Liu Yan, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, saw that "the government was in decline, and the four sides were fighting", and the situation was no longer able to be cleaned up. Out of self-preservation, he proposed to the imperial court that, in view of the current chaos of the war, the original assassin power was too small and the ability was too poor to meet the current political, economic and military management needs. Therefore, it was necessary to change the system of assassination history and appoint a major minister of the clan as a state pastor to escort the empire. In this regard, the Ling Emperor approved it, and the history called "abolishing Shi Limu".
This system led to the complete loss of central authority, and "the heavy responsibility of the state began from this point on." Because the biggest flaw in the state pastoral system is that the power is too large, the degree of autonomy is too high, and the financial, political, and military power in the jurisdiction is concentrated in the state pastor, and if you look at the "feudal state" in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty and the "moderation envoys" after the Middle and Tang Dynasties, you can see how harmful it is.
From the fifth year of Zhongping (188) to the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao was based on Yanzhou, Gongsun Du was in Liaodong, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were in Youzhou, Yuan Shao was in Charge of Ji, Qing, and He, Yuan Shu was based on Yang and Yu, Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, Liu Yan was in Yizhou, and Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, just like the pattern of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the world had not only been divided, but also attacked and annexed each other, and the Eastern Han Dynasty had actually existed in name only.
(Situation of division in the late Eastern Han Dynasty)
Second, Cao Cao could not form a climate.
If Emperor Fusong had not taken the initiative to delegate power, there would have been no chaotic government of Dong Zhuo, Emperor Xian of Han would not have gone west to return to the east, and Cao Cao would not have had the opportunity to "blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and he would not have been able to quickly grow bigger and form the climate that he later had.
Before the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was just a small warlord, he did not have military merits such as Emperor Fusong and the hopes of the government and the opposition, did not have the family influence of Yuan Shao's "fourth generation and three dukes", did not have Liu Yan's clan status, and did not have Liu Biao's early attack to occupy a piece of land. Moreover, at that time, he was not only weak in power, but also surrounded by Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, and there was a danger of being annexed if he did not pay attention, which could be described as licking blood from the knife edge and precarious.
Emperor Xian of Han's return from Chang'an to Luoyang brought great opportunities, and Cao Cao and his advisers keenly discovered and seized it. In particular, on the grounds of ruin and lack of grain, Tianzi abandoned Luoyang and moved his base xuchang (Luoyang was broken, Dong Zhao, and others persuaded Taizu duxu), and the puppet government was officially proclaimed.
This move changed the fate of many people.
Emperor Xian of Han. The Tianzi of the Han Dynasty became an "honorary title", and the Eastern Han Dynasty had already died in name only;
Cao Cao. Blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes to obtain the greatest political capital in life;
Other princes. Overnight, he became a "villain" and sided with the imperial court (in fact, Cao Cao).
Taking war as an example, it turns out that they fight and kill every day, and their purpose is very simple, that is, to grab territory, harm others and enrich themselves, and thus maximize their power and interests. Let's just say Liu Bei, the so-called "Kuang Fu Han Room" that he talks about all day long is nonsense.
However, after emperor Xiandi of Han's "Du xu", the nature of the war suddenly changed -- Cao Cao beat others into "begging thieves on orders" - it turned out that everyone was the same warlord, and as a result, after Cao Cao changed his vest, everyone else became a "thief", and he himself was legal.
Don't underestimate this set of vests, its role is great. In the words of Yuan Shao, who was frustrated and persuaded, it was "to blackmail the Son of Heaven and order the princes, the beasts and horses to be courtless, who can rule against them?" It relies on a "famous teacher." Like Xiliang Han Sui, Ma Teng sent protons to Xuchang, Jingzhou Liu Biao paid endless tribute, Lü Bu wanted Cao Cao to seal himself as Xuzhou Mu, and so on, all of which were the benefits brought by this vest.
(Holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes)
History cannot be assumed, let alone reversed.
The famous general of the last days, Emperor Fusong, insisted on his principles and duties, but made a period of history more chaotic and confusing.
A comment, right as a joke.
