Dong Zhuo was the first person in the history of China's feudal society to enter the imperial court as a local warlord and control the military and political power of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo was a native of Longxi Lintao, Liangzhou, that is, today's Min County, Gansu, born in a local strong and powerful country, looking majestic and burly, superior in force, like to be a ranger, had a certain reputation in the local area, and later gradually became a government official, because of his bravery in battle, he had prestige in Liangzhou, and was soon promoted, and he served as a thorn in The History of Hezhou, Taishou of Hedong, quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people, and fought the Yellow Turban Army. Become a powerful warlord in the local area.
After the death of Emperor Han Ling, the Eastern Han court gradually lost control of the locality, especially after He Jin was killed, the local government began to act independently, Dong Zhuo was able to enter the capital also because of He Jin and Yuan Shao, after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he performed a series of tricks, such as leaving the city at night with his three thousand troops, and entering the city during the day to show that there were many soldiers, and then lured Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan, annexed the garrison army in the capital, and finally absorbed He Jin's army, forcing Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao to begin to control the imperial court.
Dong Zhuo
Dong Zhuo, a ranger from a local strong background, did not know how to govern the imperial court at all, and as soon as Dong Zhuo took power by force, he began to raise a butcher's knife, first deposing the emperor, establishing personal authority, and then poisoning Empress He and deposing the emperor Liu Zheng, and for the civil and military officials who did not obey the orders, they were killed, the middle was imprisoned, and the light was dismissed, at the same time, Dong Zhuo was the most brutal ruler in Chinese history, for the people, wantonly slaughtering, robbing property, Dong Zhuo relied on force to establish a puppet regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty that was completely subordinate to himself.
The most direct consequence of this behavior was to stimulate a nationwide wave of opposition, outside the imperial court, the Kwantung coalition army with Yuan Shao as the ally east of Hangu Pass, united against Dong Zhuo, although only Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo's army among the various anti-Dong coalition forces, but such a loud momentum also forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital, which was originally a very strict thing, but Dong Zhuo hardly made any preparations, forced to move from Luoyang to Chang'an, and hundreds of people died on the road.
Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage
In the imperial court, although there were many people who opposed Dong Zhuo, but for personal life, most of them dared to be angry, even yuan shao's family left in Luoyang, including the then taifu Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Ji and more than a hundred yuan family members were all slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, after moving the capital to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo placed the emperor in Chang'an City, he built a strong Dock Fort in Yu County, where he stored grain for 50 years, usually Dong Zhuo lived in the Dock Fort in Yu County, and the Emperor in Chang'an City had just been handed over to a group of civilian subjects under Dong Zhuo to manage. Among them was Situ Wang Yun.
Wang Yun was born in Taiyuan Wang clan, the standard family clan, and Dong Zhuo is not a road person at all, plus Wang Yun is upright, dares to fight against the magnates for justice, and becomes the representative of the more famous scholars at that time, because the predecessor Situ Yang Biao opposed Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, so Dong Zhuo deposed Yang Biao and let Wang Yun take over situ, at the same time Wang Yun concurrently served as Shangshu Ling, Situ and Shangshu Ling This is almost the consul of the imperial court, why does Dong Zhuo trust Wang Yun so much?
First of all, Dong Zhuo will not govern, born strong, like rangers, himself has not read much books, the ruling has always been a civilian official ruling, Dong Zhuo needs someone to help him govern, and the more famous the better, which can raise Dong Zhuo's chips in the imperial court, Wang Yun had a certain popularity at that time, and in the name of rebelling against eunuchs, so Dong Zhuo let Wang Yun govern.
Wang Yun
In fact, Wang Yun was very submissive to Dong Zhuo at that time, unlike Yang Biao who dared to oppose Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, Wang Yun basically obeyed Dong Zhuo's orders, for Dong Zhuo, what he needed was an obedient minister, and then help him manage the government, Dong Zhuo only needed to make decisions, not to care about tedious things, since Wang Yun was so obedient to himself, why not let Wang Yun govern.
Finally, Wang Yun did have a certain ability to govern, able to handle the government well, if there was no ability to govern, Dong Zhuo would not let Wang Yun come to power, Wang Yun had served as a servant of the imperial history, Yuzhou Assassin History, and once fought with the left lieutenant general Huang Fusong and the right middle lang general Zhu Juan, belonged to the civil and martial arts officials, capable, famous, prestige, plus there were really no celebrities in the imperial court at that time, so Dong Zhuo chose Wang Yun as the consul.
Since Dong Zhuo chose Wang Yun to govern, it shows that Dong Zhuo trusts Wang Yun, and does not dare to say that he has 100% trust, but certainly more than 60% is trust, what Dong Zhuo does not know is that Wang Yun has long been in private with a gang of people to assassinate him, but Wang Yun is not the first person to prepare to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but he is the most successful one.
Before Wang Yun, the Yue Cavalry Lieutenant Wu Fu once assassinated Dong Zhuo, Wu Fu was wearing a court dress, hiding a sharp knife in his arms to take advantage of the opportunity to report to Dong Zhuo to assassinate Dong Zhuo, because of excessive force, dong Zhuo was evaded, Wu Fu was killed, this was the only attempted assassination, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, this matter is not in history, fictitious, the real assassination of Dong Zhuo and was killed was Wu Fu.
Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu
As for those who wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo and were planning, there were countless names, including Yilang Gaixun and the Zuo general Huang Fusong, Xun You and Yilang Zhengtai, He Yuan, Shizhong Zhongji, And Wu Qiong, the captain of the City Gate School, and then Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Shi SunRui and others, why only Wang Yun succeeded?
First, Wang Yun is a person that Dong Zhuo trusts more, and the person who can rule for Dong Zhuo cannot work without trust, so Wang Yun can use his apparent power to carry out a series of secret plots without being detected by Dong Zhuo.
Second, Wang Yun co-opted Dong Zhuo's confidant Lü Bu. This is the most critical reason, Dong Zhuo regarded Lü Bu as his personal bodyguard, responsible for personal safety, completely saw through Lü Bu as a person, Dong Zhuo valued Lü Bu's martial arts, not as a person, and the reason why Lü Bu rebelled against Dong Zhuo was also for two reasons:
The first reason is that Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo's maid had an affair, which can be big or small, if this maid is Dong Zhuo's concubine, if Dong Zhuo knows, Lü Bu will undoubtedly die, and Lü Bu has to oppose. If this maid was just an ordinary maid, letting Dong Zhuo know, it would also make Lü Bu unable to eat and walk around, because Dong Zhuo was grumpy.
The second reason is that Dong Zhuo actually does not regard Lü Bu as a person, there was a small matter Lü Bu angered Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo threw the halberd around him at Lü Bu with his backhand, the halberd is a weapon, if lü Bu is not hiding fast, it is estimated that his life is gone, and this matter is not once or twice, but many times, making Lü Bu very insecure, maybe one day he will die.
Wang Yun, Lü Bu and the fictional mink cicada
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a fictional character mink cicada, in fact, there is no mink cicada in history, if it must be said that there is, then Dong Zhuo's maid may be the prototype of the mink cicada, but this woman has only appeared once in the history books, and then there is nothing, so I don't know the ins and outs.
Wang Yun successfully persuaded Lü Bu, which was the most critical factor in Wang Yun's success in assassinating Dong Zhuo, and the third reason why Wang Yun was able to succeed was that there were too many people in the dynasty at that time who were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, superficially submitted, and actually wanted to kill him, including the people of Chang'an, which was the people's desire of the people at that time, and even the people at that time also made up a song that cursed Dong Zhuo, which was sung like this:
Thousand Mile Grass, He Qingqing. Ten days, shall not be born.
Thousand Mile Grass is a "Dong" character, Ten Days Bu is a "Zhuo" word, He Qingqing is the meaning of cruelty, not to live is the meaning of hoping to die, and together it is to gamble on Dong Zhuo to die early. This is what the people want.
Wang Yunji eliminated Dong Zhuo
When Wang Yun colluded with Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo was doomed to be killed, and the two outsiders he trusted the most, Wang Yun, united with Lü Bu, and then also united the emperor and the anti-Dong Zhuo officials in the court, deploying at the imperial court on the one hand, and deploying around Dong Zhuo on the other, and then inviting Dong Zhuo to enter the palace to worship on the grounds that Emperor Xian of Han had just recovered from a serious illness, and took this opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo, who was still wearing iron armor under Dong Zhuo's imperial clothes at that time, but what was the use of iron armor?
This is the real reason why Dong Zhuo was killed, this is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian Story", about the story of "Wang Yunji to get rid of Dong Zhuo", this book is divided into two volumes, telling the history of China's feudal society 100 real historical stories, and "Zizhi Tongjian" this boring and difficult to read history book, this is a vernacular article dedicated to telling historical stories, there are many interesting historical stories in the book, interested can buy below.
