I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 231 The Prestige of the Court
Liu Bian's words naturally made the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty not quite understand. Dong Zhuo himself wanted to be the prime minister, which is understandable, and all the courtiers could see his great ambitions.

But no one thought that at such a critical moment, the young emperor would come out to stand for Dong Zhuo!
Is the little emperor crazy, stupid, or has he been threatened?
At this juncture, Tai Shi ordered Gao Sheng to stand up!

He looked at Dong Zhuo angrily, and said, "Tie Dong, you must have bullied His Majesty to issue such an edict, right? You Xiliang thief, you actually forced the palace!"

Dong Zhuo laughed out loud when he heard this.

His laughter was extremely arrogant, perhaps extremely weird.

When he was young, seeing Dong Zhuo stopped laughing wildly, he shook his head and said, "It's really ridiculous. Your Majesty wants to set up a chancellor and discuss the Thirteen Caos, but you blame the old man for the crime, and you don't even bother to ask, do you?"

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo turned his head to Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, since you have doubts about this matter, in my opinion, I should not do this as Prime Minister, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian, who was sitting high in the main seat, was a little sluggish and didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Queen Mother He said coldly: "Dong Aiqing don't need to be humble, this matter is discussed with Your Majesty, and I recommend loyal ministers to help the royal family. It has nothing to do with loving Qing, so you don't have to avoid suspicion."

The courtiers present never expected that the Empress Dowager He would say such a thing.

Wu Fu, who had just been moved to serve as a servant, stood up and said: "Queen Dowager, Dong Zhuo is a Xiliang tiger and wolf. If you threaten the Queen Mother and Your Majesty with violence, please tell the Queen Mother frankly. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely do it for you." Your Majesty and the Queen Mother seek justice!"

Dong Zhuo pointed at Gao Sheng, and then at Wu Fu.

Dong Zhuo's laughter sounded again.

To put it bluntly, there is no such reason.

To put it bluntly, this is stripping the two families naked and revealing their ugliest side to everyone!

Dong Zhuo knew very well that now was not the time to completely tear himself apart from the world's most prominent families.

"Besides pouring dirty water on others, what other means do you have?"

If he published all these hundreds of bamboo slips and slips in the court today, in less than a month, all the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty must have raised the banner of the Qing Dynasty.

"Yes, I am at odds with this beast!"

Without further ado, Li Ru immediately unfolded the two volumes of bamboo slips and began to read the contents aloud.

They are all letterheads exchanged between the heads of the Bohai Gao family and the Runan Wu family and Zhang Jiao, establishing the eight-state linkage. The effect of reading this content is naturally conceivable.

When talking about this, Dong Zhuo pointed to the bamboo slips in the three big boxes.

"This old man doesn't quite believe it."

When he was young, Li Ru read the two slips slowly, and then stood aside indifferently.

So Dong Zhuo's rear is actually not particularly stable.

Empress Dowager He looked at the crowd below with cold eyes, but saw that among these ministers, many of them had expressions of panic on their faces.

All the ministers present were extremely angry at Dong Zhuo's actions. They wished they could rush forward and kill Dong Zhuo, but none of them had the courage.

"The rest of the old man will be put away first, and I will have some free time later, how about going through the investigations one by one?"

Seeing Wu Fu looking at him, Yuan Kai quietly raised his hand towards Wu Fu and gestured up and down.

These people have harvested leeks for more than a hundred years in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty. They want people and money.

Wu Fu immediately understood.

When he was talking about this, Dong Zhuo looked around at everyone present: "However, it would be a bit of a joke to judge your family's crimes based on just a brief reading. This matter still needs to be investigated in detail, starting from your Bohai Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Wu from Runan, let’s start to investigate."

"Or is it that in the eyes of the princes, this old man who was born in Liangzhou and less than academics has the ability to do it? Don't you think too highly of this old man?"

Although Han Sui and others were beaten so hard by Dong Zhuo's former suppression of the rebellion, they couldn't straighten up.

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, and saw Doctor Li Ru coming in front of him.

"Your Majesty! Queen Mother! This is a frame-up! This is Dong Zhuo's old thief who is framing the officials..."

"Bohai Gao, Runan Wu, Wen You, find out about their two families!"

certainly.Even if Dong Zhuo didn't attack the aristocratic families first, sooner or later these aristocratic families would plan to go to war with Dong Zhuo.

There are also those with good psychological qualities, who are probably still pretending to be nothing at the moment, and there are many people who are stubborn.

Gao Sheng, who was the first to stand up and scold Dong Zhuo angrily, turned pale in an instant, and his momentum seemed to have weakened a lot.

"Zhang Jiao has the ability to make a fake copy, but I believe it."

Dong Zhuo walked up to the tray with a smile, pointed to the bamboo slips on it, and asked, "My lords, do you know what is in there?"

As soon as these words were said, the entire hall was suddenly silent.

"A traitor who misleads the country deserves a thousand arrows to pierce his heart and die!"

But there are still tens of thousands of rebels making trouble in Liangzhou.

There were volumes of bamboo slips inside.

After those people finished criticizing angrily, Dong Zhuo glanced back and forth coldly at the crowd, and said, "Finished yelling? Finished scolding? No follow-up? Well, if so, then it's my turn?"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a hearty smile, "Read!"

"Is it wrong?"

Dong Zhuo just picked out the Runan Wu family and the Bohai Gao family first based on the situation in the court today, as a model.

"The old man knew you would say that from the beginning."

Li Ru rummaged through those bamboo slips for a long time, finally pulled out two volumes of bamboo slips, and said to Dong Zhuo, "Sikong, I found it!"

Her hands hidden in her big sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

Unprepared, these people were tricked by Dong Zhuo. Many of them were not very psychologically strong, and they showed their feet at that time, so that people could see at a glance that there was something wrong with them or the family behind them.

Dong Zhuo listened to the crowd yelling at him coldly, but had a smile on his face, showing no discomfort at all.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if the handwriting of your family and others is true or not, but Zhang Jiao's handwriting and imprint are genuine."

Of course, in this court, there must be more than these people who have had an affair with the Yellow Turban.

"But Zhang Jiao can make so many... hundreds of copies."

"I don't know, do you? Okay, I'll tell you! In the battle of Guangzong, the old man, Huangfu Yizhen, and Liu Deran jointly conquered Zhang Jiao's mansion. Zhang Jiao was beheaded by Liu Deran. The old man did not take When I saw something, I just saw stacks of slips and slips, and the old man opened it... Hey, the things inside are incredible! They are all letters from Zhang Jiao and heroes from all walks of life!"

"........."

"Dong Zhuo, how did you threaten Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

Besides, Liangzhou in the rear is not completely in his hands.

Yuan Kai looked like an old god, and he didn't respond to Dong Zhuozhi's actions at all, but there was already a murderous intent in his old eyes.

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, and then saw six Xiliang sergeants slowly carrying three large wooden boxes to Dong Zhuo in the hall.

Several courtiers standing closer to Dong Zhuo let out a heavy "hum" from their noses.

Has it become so rampant?

In fact, Empress Dowager He was still somewhat puzzled by what Dong Zhuozhi said, but seeing the panicked faces of some of these courtiers, she understood everything in an instant.

Gao Sheng shouted at Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He hoarsely.

He also hid a lot of equipment in private and controlled the local economy. Who would be able to rest assured and wait for death?
They must have colluded with each other, recruited troops, and rebelled in an all-round way.

As for Wu Fu, who is a member of the big family in Runan, he turned his head to look at Yuan Kai and Yuan Ji who were not far away.

No matter how fierce Xiliang soldiers are, their numbers are limited after all.

"The handwriting on this bamboo slip, the old man will naturally have a way to verify it."

At that time, when it comes to the background, Dong Zhuo, who only controlled the limited area west of Luoyang, was no match for them.

In the current situation, although Dong Zhuo's behavior is hated by others, considering the current situation in the court, he is indeed just.

But at least now they have scruples in their hearts, and they will not suddenly raise troops.

Just cleaning up a few houses first will only make other people hesitate and wait and see, and will not cause drastic changes. This will give Dong Zhuo some time to prepare.

Dong Zhuo is already old, and he knows a truth.

To fight a war, one has to be prepared.
