Origin and Story of 所图不轨
Towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Emperor Ling of Han died, He Jin utilized Dong Zhuo's power to weaken the influence of the eunuchs.
Cavalier Commander Bao Xin believed that Dong Zhuo was ambitious and plotting something unlawful, hoping that Yuan Shao would send troops to suppress him.
Dong Zhuo, in turn, killed Yuan Shao's family members, prompting uprisings from various regions in support of Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo.
Later, Cao Cao, taking Emperor Xian (Liu Xie) under his control, moved the capital to Xuxian.
Yuan Shao then submitted a memorial, stating that his uprising was a direct result of Dong Zhuo's unlawful scheming.
