The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 420 It's Easy to Ask God

The team that greeted them didn't go far, and the sound of hooves ahead was like thunder.

Dong Zhuojun, who was coming at a gallop, stopped the car, and the young emperor was so frightened that he burst into tears. The Taiwei Cui Lie came out and asked loudly: "Who is coming, escort? Hijack?"

Dong Zhuo, dressed in mighty armor, urged his horse forward without getting off his horse. Instead, he gave the officials a condescending look, clasped his fists and said loudly to the emperor in the car, "Former general and Bingzhou shepherd Dong Zhuo, here to welcome you."

Cui Lie sized up Dong Zhuo, and saw that he was tall and strong, with a face like a black bear, and a pack of tigers and wolves behind him. He was worried that he would not be able to control him, and that Dong Zhuo would do something out of the ordinary, so he ordered Dong Zhuo: "There is an order to withdraw the troops. Tell you to go quickly!"

Dong Zhuo stood there without moving, and the indifference on his face sent chills down the spine.

"Dong Zhuo, didn't you hear!" Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't answer, Cui Lie felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

Want to drive me away without taking a sip of the soup?
Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart, the answer just now was considered a face to you, and now he dares to make an inch, do you really think that I came here to be your grandson?

When the Taiwei gave orders, Dong Zhuo not only ignored him, but also showed his ferocious fangs in front of everyone: "This general has traveled [-] miles day and night. Why do you avoid me now? If you annoy this general, you will kill him." out of your heads!"

Then, Dong Zhuo asked all the ministers rhetorically: "As important ministers of the country, you cannot rectify the royal family, causing the country to be in turmoil and the emperor to be exiled outside. What face do you have? Let me retreat!"

Dong Zhuo's arrogant aura was full of arrogance, easily frightening everyone.

Although Cui Lie was well-known, it was useless at this time. He bumped into Dong Zhuo. It could be said that a scholar meets a soldier.

Later, Dong Zhuo went up to meet Liu Bian and asked him what happened.Seeing Dong Zhuo's fierce appearance, Liu Bian was so frightened that he could speak incoherently, but Liu Xie was able to express himself clearly.

Dong Zhuo learned from others that Liu Xie was brought up by the Empress Dowager Dong, named "Donghou".Dong Zhuo also thought he was of the same family as the Empress Dowager Dong, so he was very happy. As the saying goes, "Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", the idea of ​​abolishing the emperor was born in his heart.

Back at the Luoyang Palace, He Jin and Miao were both dead. Dong Zhuo took over their army, and on the grounds that the weather had not rained for a long time, he dismissed Sikong Liu Hong and replaced him himself.

It is easy to ask God to send God away, and this is just the beginning.

Within two days, Dong Zhuo proposed the abolition of the establishment at the court meeting, and took Huo Guang as an example, since he compared Tian Yannian, meaning that whoever dares to come out to oppose him will be killed.

Lu Zhi stood up first, and Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and others also stood up, and even drew their swords to face each other.

A court meeting broke up unhappy.

After the meeting was over, Ding Yuan directly pulled in his team and challenged Dong Zhuo outside Luoyang City.

However, he underestimated Dong Zhuo and overestimated himself.Not to mention the Luoyang team that Dong Zhuo had recruited, the Flying Bear Army he brought alone was not an existence that this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals could compete with.

The two armies fought outside the city, and Ding Yuan's team was not only crushed and defeated, but he himself died in the chaos of the battle.

At the next day's court meeting, Dong Zhuo took big strides and threw Ding Yuan's head onto the hall, a scene of killing chickens to scare monkeys, scared the emperor and all the officials to turn pale.

Lu Zhi, who had dissuaded him before, had already abandoned his official position, and Yuan Shao also fled to Bohai, Jizhou.

With no obstacles, Dong Zhuo just started his action of abolishing the establishment.

On May [-]th, in the front hall of Chongde, Ding Gong presided over the abolition ceremony. Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Bian to step down from the throne, removed the jade seal and handed it over to Liu Xie, and then helped Liu Xie officially enthroned, and changed his year name' Zhaoning' is 'Yonghan'.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo asked Shangshu to read out the policy text, and impeached Empress Dowager He for killing Empress Dowager Dong, removed her, and moved into Yong'an Palace.

Soon, news came out that Queen Mother He had been poisoned to death.

The Empress Dowager died, but Dong Zhuo did not allow the court to hold a funeral for her. He just asked the emperor to go to Fengchang Pavilion in Luoyang City to express his condolences, and the ministers and ministers wore white clothes to court for three days.

Later, the imperial court named Youzhou Mu Liuyu, who was far away in Youzhou, as the Great Sima. Dong Zhuo was changed from Sikong to Taiwei, and also led the former general.

This series of actions, like the momentum of thunder, is dizzying.

From arriving in Luoyang to taking control of Luoyang, he ranked among the top three.

Dong Zhuo only spent fourteen days.

At the end of the month, Dong Zhuo, together with Situ Huangwan, Sikong Yang Biao and others who had been recalled to Luoyang, brought money to the court to write a letter, requesting to rehabilitate many party members who were arrested and killed in the disaster of the party, and to promote their descendants to officials.

Under Li Ru's suggestion, Qingliu was promoted to recruit celebrities such as Xun Shuang, Han Rong, and Chen Ji to enter the court as officials. Among them, Cai Yong became Dong Zhuo's most trusted aide.At the same time, a large number of celebrities were selected, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ni, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao, etc., to serve as local prefects and other important positions. Kuang, Bao Xin and others were appointed prefects as a sign of reconciliation.

These actions have changed the views of many gentry party members on Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's intentions are far more than that.While wooing scholars, he also used his military power to eliminate dissidents and kill innocent people indiscriminately.

He even did not hesitate to connive at the slaughter of the soldiers under his command, and use the heads of the common people as military exploits, as capital for promotion.

All the officials dared not speak out. At this time, Dong Zhuo had already monopolized the power, and the power was poured into the government and the public, so he didn't take them into his eyes at all.And they were all afraid of offending this violent and unreasonable man.

Soon, the position of Sangong gradually couldn't satisfy Dong Zhuo's appetite. He worshiped himself as Xiangguo, granted him the title of Marquis of Mei, entered the court without going, and walked on the sword.

Since then, the entire Luoyang court has been reduced to a plaything in Dong Zhuo's hands.

After the morning court that day, when Dong Zhuo left, the eunuch Wang Yun, who was also the secretary, invited many ministers, saying that today was his birthday, and specially prepared a banquet in the mansion, inviting everyone to come to the banquet.

That night, many court ministers went to Wang Yun's mansion.

Among the many guests, there was one person who came uninvited. He was Cao Cao, Captain of the Dian Army.

As for what was discussed in the palace that night, it was difficult for outsiders to know, but they could vaguely hear a burst of crying and a burst of wild laughter that went against it.

Within a few days, Cao Cao took the opportunity to go to Dong Zhuo's residence.

But after only half a stick of incense, a big news spread from Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo didn't realize it at first, but just casually talked to Li Ru who had come, about Cao Cao offering his knife.

What a vigilant person Li Ru is, he immediately noticed the tricks in it.He told Dong Zhuo that Cao Cao most likely came to assassinate in the name of offering a knife.

But there is no evidence, Li Ru can only be hypothetical, he made a plan for Dong Zhuo: let someone call Cao Cao, if they come, they will offer a knife; if they don't come, they will be assassinated.

Dong Zhuo sent someone to look for him, but there was no trace of Cao Cao.

Fortunately, he had valued Cao Cao very much before, but he did not expect to raise such a wolf-hearted guy. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he ordered the whole country to arrest him.
