The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 46 Why am I the only one who can’t do it? (Please read on)
When Huang Wan was brought before Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo, his expression remained normal.

"Is it the right thing to do to suddenly break into a minister's house and tie up the lieutenant who is in charge of order in the imperial capital without the approval of the court?"

Dong Zhuo heard that Huang Wan was still trying to maintain his dignity, and his brows were filled with disgust: "As a court official, you don't focus on government affairs. As an official, you are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic. As a famous scholar, you have no morals. Why do you expect others to respect you?"

Huang Wan was probably ready to die when he was caught. He changed his usual taciturn demeanor and held his neck high to argue with Dong Zhuo: "As a minister, an official, and a celebrity, the first thing I have to do is to rectify the government and eliminate the traitors! I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Even if I die here today, the history books will not record that I, Huang Wan, have done anything that would damage the reputation of our family. Instead, you, Dong Zhuo, will surely be recorded by the historians as a villain who brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this. He grabbed the only ceramic cup on Jia Xu's desk and threw it to the ground: "It's because the historian is the same as people like you!"

The writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period cannot be summed up in one word.

After being enlightened by Liu Xie and letting go of his respect for scholars, Dong Zhuo suddenly understood many things that he had never figured out before.

For example, this history book was also written by scholars!

Even Sima Qian was just a scholar!

Based on his own preferences, he could write biographies of Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu, rate Li Guang as a famous general of the time, and even regret that "Li Guang was difficult to be awarded a title."

But the title of marquis was already precious in the Han Dynasty, and Li Guang's achievements were indeed not enough to warrant a title of marquis.

Not to mention, Li Guang once got lost in the war between Han and Xiongnu.

Gongsun Ao, who got lost like Li Guang, was directly demoted to a commoner by Emperor Wu of Han!
Therefore, although Emperor Liu was cold and indifferent, he was tolerant enough when dealing with Li Guang.

Moreover, in the "Records of the Grand Historian", which is very concise with words, Sima Qian wrote about such a small incident as Li Guang shooting a tiger.

In contrast, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were the arms of the empire. They defeated the Huns and conquered the Wolf's Lair, but only a few words were left in history books.

If I hadn’t noticed this kind of differential treatment before, it would have been fine. But since I noticed it, it’s really as disgusting as eating a fly!

Huang Wan heard Dong Zhuo's words, but suddenly laughed wildly: "So what?"

"Right and wrong, once recorded in history, cannot be questioned by future generations!"

"You, Dong Zhuo, will surely be despised and hated by the world for eternity in the future!"

Dong Zhuo's body was shaking slightly, and his right hand unconsciously reached for the sword at his waist.

"Will not."

Liu Xie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

“Gentlemen judge by deeds, while history books judge by results.”

Liu Xie looked at Huang Wan without any emotion: "The style of writing of Sima Qian in the Spring and Autumn Annals cannot erase the achievements of Wei and Huo."

"No matter how much he praises Li Guang, the merits of conquering Longcheng and conquering Langjuxu cannot be attributed to him."

"If the Grand Master can help me revive the Han Dynasty and become the Duke of Zhou in this age, so that all the lands illuminated by the sun and the moon will be Han territory, then I am sure that even the historical records will regard it as absurd!"

……

Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Everyone says that the emperor is smart, but I never thought he could be so stupid!"

"Dong Zhuo is just an ordinary man. How could he restore the Han Dynasty? How could he be like the Duke of Zhou?"

"The emperor is ignorant and treacherous ministers are in power. This is a sign that the country is about to be destroyed!"

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes.

"According to what you said, the world will be peaceful if we change the emperor or the prime minister?"

"Exactly!"

Huang Wan was now determined to die, so she simply spoke out all her thoughts.

"Only by killing Dong Zhuo can the world be saved!" Can the world really be saved by killing Dong Zhuo?
The Three Kingdoms fought for many years, causing no peace to the world.

The aristocratic families’ monopoly of power led to the Cao Wei incident in the Jin Dynasty.

Strengthen the core and weaken the branches, and abolish the border troops.

The border defense was weak and the Five Barbarians invaded China.

The Five Barbarians invaded China and brought great suffering to the people!
This is what the world would look like after killing Dong Zhuo!
How can we talk about peace in a world like this?

Liu Xie shook his head, looking disappointed.

"Before, the Grand Tutor lived in Meiwu and did not interfere too much in government affairs. Instead, he handed over all his power to Wang Yun and you. But what were you doing at that time?"

"Even I know that the abnormal rainfall in Guanzhong this year will cause disasters, affect the harvest, and make Guanzhong barren for thousands of miles. Don't you know that?"

"Are the lives of millions of people in Guanzhong so insignificant in your eyes?"

Facing Liu Xie's questioning, Huang Wan shouted: "The reason why there are disasters in heaven is because there are evildoers in the court who are causing troubles in politics!"

"If we can eliminate the evil spirits, the world will be in order and the Han Dynasty will be revived!"

Liu Xie had nothing to say.

If Liu Xie hated Huang Wan and others before, now he just felt pity for them.

However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people, so Liu Xie did not intend to be merciful.

"Huang Wan, considering your past achievements, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of Wang Yun and Shisun Rui, I can guarantee that your family will be spared."

"Dark Lord!"

Huang Wan tore apart Liu Xie's kindness and threw it to the ground.

"That's fine."

Liu Xie glanced at Dong Zhuo and let him handle the matter himself.

Dong Zhuo must be no stranger to torture and forced confession.

But after Liu Xie's interruption, Dong Zhuo, who was furious and about to draw his sword, suddenly calmed down a little.

"Zi Yan."

After calling out Huang Wan's courtesy name, Dong Zhuo finally asked a question he had wanted to ask since he knew that Wang Yun and others wanted to assassinate him -

"Why can you tolerate people like Huo Guang and He Jin, but not me?"

Huo Guang had deposed and enthroned emperors and had controlled the government!
However, the hatred that the scholars at that time had for Huo Guang was far less than the hatred that the scholars today have for Dong Zhuo!

And there is He Jin.

Relatives by marriage and scholars should be natural allies.

When He Jin was the general, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and other world-famous scholars all served under him and provided advice, and there was no discord at all.

Even an ambitious young man from a prominent family like Yuan Shu had never thought of assassinating He Jin. He even broke into the palace after He Jin's death, wanting to help He Jin fulfill his wish of killing the Ten Attendants.

But why, when it came to Dong Zhuo, people like Wang Yun, whom he personally promoted and supported, joined forces to assassinate him?

Moreover, this is not an isolated case!
From the Guandong princes joining forces to attack him, to Wu Qiong, Xun You and others assassinating him, to Wang Yun, Huang Wan and others taking advantage of the opportunity to plot.

Even though Dong Zhuo was a heroic man, he couldn't help feeling a little tired and aggrieved at this moment.

He doesn't know why there are some things that others can do but he can't!

Why is this world so unfair!
