Just as the so-called chaotic world produced tyrants, a large number of heroic characters with distinct personalities emerged during the Three Kingdoms period, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan all left a deep impression on future generations.
In the early days, there was a great warlord Dong Zhuo, because of his premature death, his existence was ignored by many people. In fact, dong Zhuo was the one who threatened the son of heaven to order the princes before Cao Cao.
However, with Dong Zhuo's sudden killing by Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo's hands were suddenly leaderless, and the world immediately became a pot of porridge, and the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms began.
In fact, Dong Zhuo has a son, so why didn't Dong Zhuo's son, like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Sun Quan, have the power he established be taken over by his son?
Dong Zhuo has a granddaughter named Dong Bai, who is quite famous, which shows that Dong Zhuo must have a son, otherwise where is the granddaughter? However, from a historical point of view, Dong Zhuo's son has no record, according to the reason, Dong Zhuo's son will certainly be pushed to the front of the stage to deal with various affairs when he grows up.
On the contrary, the most famous people in the Dong family besides Dong Zhuo are his younger brother Dong Min and his nephew.
After all, for someone like Dong Zhuo at that time, his closest relatives were the people he trusted the most, and if his son was not valued, then there were only two possibilities.
One possibility is that his son died early and did not leave any heroic deeds, and the other possibility is that his sons are still young enough to appear on stage, and can only be temporarily helped by his relatives.
This is from his son's point of view.
Judging from the situation at that time, Dong Zhuo's death can be said to be an accident, and I believe that many people have not thought that Lü Bu's betrayal, although reasonable, is also unexpected.
It was not until the last moment that Dong Zhuo discovered that Lü Bu had betrayed him, although there was a big reason for this was Wang Yun, but it could be seen that Dong Zhuo was unpopular at that time.
Especially after Dong Zhuo's death, the soldiers shouted long live, the people sang and danced on the road, and many people exchanged jewelry for wine and meat to celebrate.
It can be seen that although Dong Zhuo is already an extremely popular subject and has power in the opposition, there is no unity between his subordinates, and when Dong Zhuo is alive, he can still suppress them. After Dong Zhuo's death, these factions instantly fell apart.
As soon as Dong Zhuo died, many of his generals and Lü Bu surrendered to the imperial court. The only ones left who had soldiers in the remaining Zhonglang generals were Dong Yue and Niu Fu.
Later, the Western Liang army that Dong Zhuo relied on had infighting, Dong Yue was killed, Niu Fu was not a qualified commander, and was soon killed by his own subordinates.
Because his death was too sudden, the old Dong family was not prepared at all, nor did they have the ability to take over this banner.
In contrast, the successors of the three kingdoms, these three have long established a solid political power, for a regime, if there is no rebel force, then the succession should be smooth.
On the contrary, Dong Zhuo was only a powerful vassal at that time, even though he had been able to depose the emperor, but like Cao Cao, he was only blackmailing the son of heaven to order the princes, and did not establish his own political power, in this case, even if he had a son, it would be impossible to succeed smoothly with a stable regime.
