For politicians who are good at calculating, Lu Bu and Diao Chan are toolmakers, Liu Yan and Liu Bian are also toolmakers... Perhaps anyone may be toolmakers, including Dong Hu himself.

As early as Beigong Boyu, when Lao Wang rebelled, Dong Hu turned his attention to Liu Bian because he felt that Liu Bian was fostered at Shi Ziguan's home since childhood... Some people may doubt Liu Hong's vision, and Shi Ziguan might just be a liar in the world.

Dong Huruo just smiled after hearing this. The descendants of the royal family in the Han Dynasty were difficult and short-lived. Liu Hong had a son before, but he was unable to support him because he was afraid that Liu Bian would die early and worried that his son could not withstand the royal family's fate, so he was placed outside the palace to raise him. Others could only be called "Shihou". Even if Liu Hong had a poor vision, how could He give his son to a liar?

A person's character has a lot to do with the environment. If Liu Bian was born bold and stubborn, Shi Ziyun might not have influenced him, but Liu Bian was a cowardly person. He grew up in the rules and regulations since childhood and had not received orthodox royal education. He may have different attitudes when dealing with powerful officials. This is also why Dong Hu persuaded Dong Zhuo to join Queen He ten years ago when Dong Zhuo was still idle at home.

He persuaded Dong Zhuo to join Empress He, and in the first year of Zhongping, he took the initiative to make friends with Liu Yan and Liu Bian, and deepened the relationship between the two parties... These are the shackles that Dong Hu wanted to impose on Dong Zhuo's head, hoping that when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he would avoid destruction and establishment, and at the same time gain a firm political allies.

Dong Hu was not afraid of the rebellion of the princes of Guandong. As long as the court did not change, the Han Dynasty had the ability to quell such rebellion. Even without Dong Hu, as long as Emperor Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He firmly supported him, Dong Zhuo was also able to wipe out such rebellion. The Five Sons and Generals of the Five Tigers in the Three Kingdoms, and the Four Pillars to Protect Liang, and the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong... Before Dong Zhuo died, they were not counted.

Without the rebellious Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's several battles with the princes of Kanto would likely win completely, rather than Hu Zhen's defeat in the battle of Yangren.

Dong Zhuo died, and the Liangzhou army had an internal strife. Li Jue and Guo Si still defeated Lu Bu, Han Sui and Ma Teng, while Li Jue and Guo Si had a disaster for three or four years in Chang'an. During such a long time, when the Liangzhou army fought with each other, why didn't Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others go directly to Guanzhong? Ma Teng and Ma Chao were just declining Liangzhou generals, why did Cao Cao worry so much about them? There was also Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu. Although Zhang Xiu took advantage of Cao Cao's inattention, Zhang Xiu was only a junior generation of Liangzhou generals.

For Dong Hu, as long as the court is not in chaos, Emperor Liu Bian can cooperate with Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu's uncle and nephew sincerely, and all the princes dare to rebel and wipe out one by one. As for whether the court officials will make small moves... aren't there any eunuchs who do evil? Just let the eunuchs act as firepower to fight the civil servants to the death.

As long as the court is not in chaos, Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu have no reason to fear the rebellion of all the princes. It’s just... He has repeatedly swayed on the uncle and nephew, and He Jin has repeatedly suppressed the uncle and nephew, which has ruined the foundation of mutual trust.

Whether it is expected that Liu Bian would be a firm ally in the temple, or to persuade Dong Zhuo not to rush to depose the emperor, then persuade Dong Zhuo not to poison He, Liu Bian and his son, and to let Liu Bian be the prefect of Nanyang County... including Liu Bian, now, in Dong Hu's eyes, he is still the role of "tool man".

"Tool Person" is inevitable. In this world, anyone is a tool person. The only difference is that using tool persons to achieve their desired goals is different.

As a later generation, he had inexplicable emotions towards the Han and Tang dynasties and did not want a powerful dynasty to collapse. Dong Hu believed that no one in later generations could have inexplicably reached such an era, and he did not want the sacred existence in his mind to collapse.

He wanted to keep the Han Dynasty, to make the Han Dynasty live in spring, and to remove the layers of shackles on this dynasty. Unfortunately, after the first year of Zhongping, he found that he was just wishful thinking. Liu Bian's role as a tool man has gone from stabilizing the court to stabilizing the position of Dong Zhuo as a powerful minister.

In the absence of rushing to abolish Liu Bian's throne for a while, it avoids the excuse for the Guandong princes to rebel immediately. Although the Guandong princes can have countless reasons for rebellion, the reasons for rebellion must be able to convince the prefects of various counties and states, county soldiers, people, and the Han Dynasty had the practice of powerful ministers as the ruler. Dong Zhuo had just entered Luoyang. Why did you, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao say that Dong Zhuo would definitely not govern the world well?

The reason for rebellion must be able to convince the people of the world. Even if it cannot be convinced, the prefects of various counties and countries must remain neutral, and the abolition and establishment are extremely critical.

He Jin and He Miao all died, and the ten general servants died. Whether Liu Bianhe or not, Dong Zhuo could scare him a few times. The more time he prepared for Dong Zhuo, the more stable Dong Zhuo's status as a powerful minister, and the rest was nothing more than strengthening control over the court.

But Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor too quickly. The princes from Kanto raised their flags and rebelled in just two or three months. Liu Bian, the role of the tool man who consolidated Dong Zhuo's status, disappeared. Dong Hu could only take a step back again. Liu Bian became the tool man to ensure the "safety of the Luoyang South Line".

Whether he admits it or not, Liu Bian has a special identity. If he is the prefect of Nanyang County, anyone who beats him needs to consider it clearly. Liu Bian's role as a tool man becomes a stable barrier in the south of Luoyang.

But when Dong Hu decided to send Liu Xie and the court to Jingxiang, even though he said he would give Liu Xie a chance, he knew in his heart that the Han Dynasty had no chance.

Sun Ce, Sun Quan brothers, Yuan Shu, Liu Guan and Zhang brothers, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, civil and military ministers in the court... Which of them is the worry-free master?

The Han Dynasty has never cut off the power of the power of the government since Liu Bang. Liu Xie fled to Jiangnan. Could it be that the powerful ministers were cut off? When the Han Dynasty was still majestic, the powerful ministers could still use the righteousness of the "Han Dynasty" to suppress the situation. When the world was in chaos, who could suppress whom?

Anyway, Dong Hu would not think that Liu Xie had a little chance. Changing the dynasty was inevitable. It was just a matter of who would fall. However, Liu Bian had a different identity. Liu Bian was the emperor of Han who was deposed by Dong Zhuo. Although the halo of the Han Dynasty was not as great as Liu Xie, his surrender to a new dynasty was similar to Liu Xie's abdication of Cao Pi. It was nothing more than a little worse, but this was not something that the people could not accept.

In the early days, Dong Hu wanted to use his later knowledge to try to change the Han Dynasty without touching the foundation of the Han Dynasty, such as "Imperial Examination and newspapers" to dismantle the voice of the wealthy families. He believed that as long as he touched the "recommendation" voice of the wealthy families, there would be wars one after another. However, as long as the emperor firmly supported him, he did not think that he and Dong Zhuo could not quell the war. During the war, he would definitely kill many families holding land. The rest was to gradually replace the old families with poor scholars, promote the expansion of the Han Dynasty to the outside world, obtain wealth from the outside world, and inject more external sources into the collapse of the dynasty's finances...
