Why didn't Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor?

Dong Zhuo's method is to abolish Li, Yuan Shao's method is to set up another portal, and Yuan Shu's method is even more rampant and stupid. So, what was Yuan Shu thinking at that time?

In fact, his mind is to be the emperor himself, and this is the third way-"self-reliance." Yuan Shu's logic is like this: First, the world is in chaos, and the Han Dynasty is dying. Sooner or later, other families will replace the Liu family; Second, in today's world, it is our old Yuan family who is qualified and capable of replacing their Liu family, because my old Yuan family is a "four generations, three publics" and has enough political capital; Third, I, Yuan Shu, am the most qualified person in our old Yuan family to replace the current emperor. Why? I am concubine, and Yuan Shao is concubine. How can a man who was born with a little wife be emperor? What's more, Yuan Shu had a baby at this time. What baby? Adopt national decrees. The imperial edict was stolen from the palace by eunuchs during the Luoyang Rebellion, and was seized by Sun Jian, because there was chaos in the world at that time. As I said in the last episode, all the governors dared not March to fight Dong Zhuo, only Cao Cao fought and was defeated. In fact, there is still one person to fight, that is, Sun Jian, Sun Quan's father Sun Jian. Sun Jian is a hero. He was killed in Luoyang City and drove Dong Zhuo away. So when Sun Jian arrived in Luoyang, he got this decree. Later, after Sun Jian's defeat, the decree went to his wife. Yuan Shu knew about it and took Sun Jian's wife hostage, so he took the decree in his own hands. This time, Yuan Shu was called a mouse with a gun in his waist, and he had the idea of hitting a cat. He thinks the next emperor of China must belong to him, Yuan Shu.

In 197, Yuan Shu became impatient and officially proclaimed himself emperor. However, Yuan Shu's practice also attracted opposition. First of all, his subordinates disapprove. Yuan Shu also had a meeting when he wanted to be the emperor, saying that everyone saw that the world was in chaos now and someone had to come out to clean up the situation. I, Yuan Mou, intended to conform to God's will and public opinion. what do you think? Although he didn't say that I wanted to be an emperor, he said that I wanted to conform to God's will and everyone would understand that he wanted to be an emperor. His subordinates said that he was still working for Yin when he was the best in the world. Can you compare with Zhou Wenwang? Is it cloudy in today's home? It's just disapproval. Yuan Shu had no choice but to say that the meeting was over, and then he went for advice. All the feedback is against it. All the governors who have good relations with him oppose it. For example, Sun Ce and Sun Ce have a good relationship with him. When they heard that he was the emperor, they immediately wrote to break up. So Yuan Shu had no choice but to go to Lu Bu and send an envoy to see Lu Bu, saying, Let's have a child in-laws, and I'll let my son marry your daughter as a daughter-in-law. what do you think? Lyu3 bu4 said you rebelled, detained his envoy, and sent Yuan Shu's letter to Xuchang for the court. Yuan Shu flew into a rage, hit Lu Bu, and was defeated again.

So at this time of Yuan Shu has alienated from others and is under siege. So Cao Cao made a move. Cao Cao at this time has been extraordinary. He had already gone to Luoyang City to meet the son of heaven, welcomed the son of heaven to Xu County, his base, and changed his name to Xudu, and he was already holding the son of heaven as a vassal. Where can he tolerate the clown Yuan Shu coming out? So Cao Cao decided to conquer Yuan Shu himself.

* A.D. 197, Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor. At this time, Dong Zhuo was dead, and Yuan Shao's plot to set up another emperor failed. Cao Cao has ceded the emperor to his ministers. At this time, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which means that a country has two emperors, and it also means that the country is openly divided. Naturally, it was opposed by governors, especially Cao Cao, who advocated national reunification. But Yuan Shu went his own way and became an independent emperor. What happened to Yuan Shu after he became an independent emperor?

Yuan Shu was scared to death when he heard Cao Caolai hit him. He turned around and ran, afraid to hit him. Where to run, run south, because Yuan Shu's base is in Huainan. Halfway through, I found that there was no canteen. Where did the canteen go? His prime minister distributed it to local hungry people and victims. Yuan Shu called the Prime Minister and said, "What's the matter with you? How did you distribute all my shops to the people? " ? What did the Prime Minister say? We're dead anyway. Do you think there will be a way out if we go on like this? You'd better do something good before you die. What does this mean? Means that he is not welcome, so this time, Yuan Shu also found himself probably has become a street rat. But Yuan Shu didn't give up. He struggled for two years. In A.D. 199, Yuan Shu finally found himself a fake emperor, but he was not reconciled, so he decided to give his treasure to Yuan Shao. I can't be Yuan Shu. Let Yuan Shao do it. He is also one of our Yuan family. At this time, he admitted that Yuan Shao was his brother.

But he failed to realize this wish. Cao Cao had already sent Liu Bei to Pi, which is now Pizhou City, Jiangsu Province, and sent Liu Bei's troops to stop Yuan Shu in Pi, waiting for him to die. Yuan Shu helpless, turn around and run. When he fled to a Jiangting, eight miles near Shouchun, Anhui Province, he could no longer run, and he could not afford to get sick. Alas, I have only been a fake emperor for three and a half years. It is said that Yuan Shu died miserably. At that time, his rations had been cut off, and even his special offer as a fake emperor could not be guaranteed. Yuan Shu is lying in bed begging. The chef said that there was only a little bran left in the grain depot, so he made a bowl of bran porridge for Yuan Shu, which was difficult for Yuan Shu to swallow. It was summer at that time, with scorching sun and unbearable heat. Yuan Shu said to the chef, Oh, forget it, give me a bowl of honey water! The chef said, where did this, this honey water come from? ! This is wheat bran porridge, please drink it or not. So, Yuan Shu with a sigh, fell on the bed, silent for a long time, and then shout at top of voice-I Yuan Shu how can fall to this point? ! He fell under the bed and vomited blood to death.

Yuan Shu's death is culpable of punishment. When he wanted honey water but couldn't, I don't know if he thought about what kind of life the people of Jianghuai lived under his rule in recent years. There is no food at all, selling children and girls, and even eating people. In this case, He Yuanshu is still extravagant, extremely extravagant, and finally lives in an empty land and eats at the end of his tether. While Yuan Shu was enjoying delicious food in his camp and palace, their soldiers were eating mussels, even mussels. It is god forbid that such people will not perish. Of course, from the perspective of political science, the stupidest thing that Yuan Shu did was that when there was chaos in the world, everyone wanted to be emperor, and everyone was afraid to say so. He chose this head. As we all know, the gun hits the first bird, and the rafters in the first place rot first. Lombardi is a little smarter than him. Yuan Shao also wants to be emperor, but he knows that he can't take the initiative at this moment. So, he came up with that bad idea and set up another one. When the time is right, I will replace it. Although this practice is despised by Yuan Shu and considered worthless by Yuan Shu, it is actually superior to Yuan Shu in strategy.
