Listen to a legend, tell a classic, welcome to the stage to talk about history.
In this issue, we talk about a very strange figure in the Three Kingdoms, but it is such a strange figure who has won the peak of the power of the Great Han and rewritten the entire history of the Eastern Han Dynasty with a magical mind.
So who is this person? He is the well-known great general He Jin, and most of the character He Jin in history has given a derogatory evaluation, and this is also the case, and some even call him a pig brain.
Why? First of all, He Jin was actually a butcher, but because his sister was favored by the emperor, he has soared since then, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Ling Emperor died, and He Jin finally became a great general and gained the peak of power.
Many of those under He Jin's command were even well-known princes of the Three Kingdoms period, such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the suggestions of these two men also allowed He Jin to rewrite history from then on.
The story still begins with the struggle between He Jin and the eunuchs, who must be familiar to everyone, that is, the ten permanent attendants headed by Zhang Rang, who are loved by the empress and the emperor, after all, they are considerate people, so they also have the power of the emperor.
This also had a constraint on the power of the great general He Jin, so in the face of this situation, He Jin asked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the advice given by Yuan Shao was very strange, saying that since the eunuchs had exclusive powers, why not call on the people of the world to discuss it.
This means that all kinds of large armies were gathered to surround Luoyang and use them to get rid of eunuchs, which was not correct at first glance, first of all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been eliminated, the world was not yet stable, and the imperial power had been attacked more than once.
At this time, when the princes from all over the world came, where was the imperial power? However, Yuan Shao also had a suggestion, saying that it was better to send it to the princes in the form of a secret edict, and later He Jinjin used this suggestion to issue a secret edict to Dong Zhuo.
What was Dong Zhuo at that time? It is the history of Liangzhou, which is equivalent to the current governor of Gansu Province, he will not be foolishly loyal to the Han Dynasty, naturally he will announce this secret edict to the world, and then rise up a mighty army to "Qin Wang".
And what does that lead to? Naturally, it led to the chaos in the world, He Jin was killed by the eunuch, yuan Shao reacted and turned back to kill the eunuch when it was too late, He Jin's stupid choice can only say that he is a pig in human skin, what consequences did he cause after his death?
First of all, it caused a vacuum in the two supreme powers surrounding the imperial power, that is, the power of eunuchs and the power of foreign relatives, which led to Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing without any resistance, and it was precisely the vacuum of these two powers that also allowed Dong Zhuo to fill this gap.
From this incident, I personally believe that He Jin's death is also the embodiment of the concept that Luo Guanzhong has always wanted to express in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is the embodiment of wisdom over force.
For example, Dong Zhuo, who had Li Ru in Literature and Lü Bu in Wu, was defeated by a scholar Wang Yun's serial plan and a woman who was good at acting, while Yuan Shao, who had Qing, You, and Ji, was defeated by Cao Cao, who was several times weaker than him at Guandu.
In the end, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops went south, but because of a fire defeat at Chibi is also the embodiment of wisdom to win the force, so no matter how powerful Cao Cao is in the later period, as long as Zhuge Liang plays in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seems that he has basically not lost much.
Do you think so? You are welcome to leave a comment, let's discuss together.
I'm talking about history, and we'll see you next time.
