Liu Yan served as the herdsman of Yizhou and Liu Yu served as the herdsman of Youzhou.
It could be seen that Liu Hong was still quite afraid of the Prefecture Overseer system.
This was because the authority of the Prefecture Overseer was too great. He controlled the military, government affairs, and economy in one hand. He was like a local emperor.
Therefore, Liu Hong had sent his family members, who were related to the royal family.
Liu Hong felt that these clan relatives would not rebel. They would listen to Luoyang and be easier to control.
January 189.
Liu Hong's health was even worse. He couldn't even attend the morning court session and could only stay in bed.
Almost everyone was waiting for Liu Hong's death.
The He family and the Yuan family began their own arrangements.
Liu Hong couldn't care less about those things. He couldn't care less about the relatives, the aristocrats, the harem, who lived and who died.
Now, he only wanted the Great Han Dynasty to continue for a few more generations. No matter who took over, at the very least, it would be his son.
Liu Hong could tell that Dong Zhuo was definitely a traitor.
In the Great Han Dynasty, other than the Five Commanders of Luoyang's West Garden, the Commandant of the Eight Gardens, and the Royal Guards, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo had the greatest military power.
Huangfu Song was famous for his loyalty, so there was no need to doubt him.
However, Dong Zhuo had to give up his military power.
He ordered Dong Zhuo to be summoned to Luoyang to serve as one of the nine ministers.
Dong Zhuo refused because his soldiers wouldn't let him go.
However, it was hard to say why he refused.
It was possible that Dong Zhuo wanted to control the military and didn't want to be controlled by others.
The other possibility was that someone was giving Dong Zhuo ideas.
As for who this person was, it could be He Jin, but it could also be Yuan Kui.
Don't forget, Dong Zhuo had once served as Yuan Kui's subordinate.
Dong Zhuo was able to hold such an important position with no background and only a pair of fists. How could he not have the help of capable people behind him?
Dong Zhuo had been dismissed many times over the years, but why did he rise again?
Or was it because someone in Luoyang was protecting him?
……
At this time, Ma Feng rode alone and arrived at Chen Cang from a small path.
In recent years, Ma Teng and Ma Feng still met often.
Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, and Han Sui had not fought for the past two years. They had been staring at each other for nearly two years.
Therefore, Ma Teng often took the small path back to Longxi to take a look.
Although he wouldn't stay for too long, he could still see it.
"Xiao Feng, why are you here?" Ma Teng asked in surprise.
"Dad, I heard that Luoyang is recruiting Dong Zhuo back to Luoyang. Is that true?”
"That's right. How did you know about this in Longxi? The news had already spread over there? However, General Dong refused."
"Dad, listen to me. Luoyang won't let this go. They'll definitely think of a way to make Dong Zhuo hand over his military power. You have to think of a way to stay here and not follow Dong Zhuo.”
"Hmm? Why? General Dong is kind to me, so I think it's not bad to fight with him.”
Ma Feng's face darkened. He was really speechless towards his father.
"Just listen to me. You have to find a way to stay here. It's best if you can get a job in Liangzhou. It's best if you can be the prefect or provincial governor, okay?”
Ma Teng pondered for a while and suddenly became serious. He asked seriously,""Xiao Feng, do you think the world will fall into chaos?”
This surprised Ma Feng. The past two years had been quite stable, giving off a feeling of peace and prosperity.
Although Ma Feng knew that this was the last moment of his life, how could Ma Teng be able to tell?
"I think so."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll stay in Liangzhou and won't leave.”
"Really?"
"It's true. I regretted not listening to you last time. Otherwise, would you have the same official position as me? This time, I must think of a way to surpass you in terms of official position…"
Ma Feng laughed. The same official position as his son was indeed a little too much for Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was trying his best to surpass him.
In March, Liu Hong ordered Dong Zhuo to lead only three thousand people to take up the post of Bing Prefecture's herdsman.
At the same time, he ordered Ma Teng to be the governor of Liangzhou and lead the troops to kill the rebels.
He recruited Ma Feng into Luoyang and appointed him as one of the Eight Yard Commanders, the Right Commandant.
However, Ma Feng would never receive this appointment.
He wanted Ma Feng to enter Luoyang? Liu Hong was thinking about nothing. He would never go.
There were a few batches of people who came to pass the order, but they were all detained by Ma Feng. They did not go to Luoyang nor did they reply. They would drag it out.
Dong Zhuo wanted to drag things out, but he didn't want to hand over his military power and go to Bingzhou.
Huangfu Song had snitched on Dong Zhuo, making him very angry.
Dong Zhuo led three thousand troops to Bingzhou, while Ma Teng led his troops to stay in Chencang.
The rest of the troops were in Huangfu Song's hands.
However, Dong Zhuo had also left Huangfu Song's men to his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead the army and not let Huangfu Song interfere.
Dong Zhuo didn't leave after reaching Hedong County. He didn't stall at Chencang, but continued to stall at Hedong County.
Now, no one urged him, because Liu Hong died in May.
The fifteen-year-old Liu Bian had successfully become the successor, and Empress Dowager He had assisted in the government.
At this moment, the He family was considered the biggest winner. They had political power, Empress Dowager He, and at the same time, they had the support of eunuchs. They were as stable as old dogs.
Military power, He Jin, He Miao, one Great General, one Cheji General. The entire military power of Luoyang was in the hands of the He family.
Logically speaking, if this continued, it would be the best situation for the He family, and it would also be good for the burly man.
After all, the Young Emperor was still young and couldn't govern personally.
Since ancient times, the Eastern Han Dynasty had always been ruled by the relatives of the imperial family. It did not matter if He Jin was present or not.
At this moment, Yuan Shao stood out.
Your He family has eaten so much, why should my Yuan family listen to your orders?
The Yuan family's plan began.
