I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 341 Establishing a New Monarch
Most of the people in the court were smart people, and more than half of the more than a hundred courtiers who were able to participate in the court meeting could understand Dong Zhuo's purpose at the moment.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one needs to talk to anyone about Liaozhai.

I understand it, but in terms of the current situation, no one dares to stand up and directly disobey Dong Zhuo.

After all, the bloody and miserable Zhang Wen was lying there right now.

Beside Zhang Wen, the tall Lu Bu stood, and Hua Xiong, who was constantly patrolling the hall like a tiger and wolf, put great pressure on everyone in the hall.

Zhang Wen, who was covered in scars, raised his head from the ground, his face was full of despair.

He stared resentfully at Dong Zhuo standing above him, and shouted at him in a hoarse voice: "A traitor, a national traitor! Even if I die and become a ghost, I will never let you, a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people..."

"Rebel, how dare you utter wild words!"

Dong Zhuo's face showed fury, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Bring up the evidence!"

Afterwards, several Xiliang sergeants brought a tray loaded with bamboo slips to the main hall.

Seeing the slips that Dong Zhuo ordered to bring up, most of the courtiers present turned red with anger, and their hands hidden in their sleeves were even trembling.

Still those old objects... the letters from the heads of local prominent families and Zhang Jiao's private exchanges.

These letters have now been used by Dong Zhuo in every possible way to prove that they are true, and they can be shown to the world at any time, and anyone can be punished for their crimes.

Every time someone in the imperial court had a quarrel with Dong Zhuo, and when the point of the needle pointed at the wheat, Dong Zhuo would sacrifice this big weapon to kill his political opponents on the point of loyalty and justice.

However, most of the public ministers were more or less involved in this matter at the beginning.

Even if the person himself was not involved, most of his family members were involved.

In short, every time Dong Zhuo uses these things, he can suppress his court and political opponents forever.

But this time, Zhang Wen was not an honest person, and it was even worse for Dong Zhuo to take advantage of him.

Dong Zhuo opened the bamboo slips one by one as usual, and threw them in front of Zhang Wen.

"Zhang Jiao's..."

"Yuan Shao's..."

"Yuan Shu's..."

Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Wen with a vicious smile while reading.

"Mr. Boshen, you have communicated with many rebels over the years. As long as there is a rebel in the Han Dynasty, you have to contact you. I don't know when Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were conquered. , is it the same at the front line?"

Having said these words, Zhang Wenqi's energy and blood surged, and a mouthful of old blood was held in his chest, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Dog thief! You framed the old man—!"

Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "I don't have that kind of free time. Your affairs are all investigated and strictly examined by the court. If you hadn't done something wrong to the Han court, you definitely wouldn't be here today..."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and said to the Son of Heaven and Empress Dowager He behind him: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the old minister thought that Zhang Wen, a thief, colluded with Yuan Shao and others before, and persuaded His Majesty to return to Guanzhong. It is true that there are ulterior motives, Luoyang is close to Nanyang, and Yuan Shao's rebels have long wanted to attack the imperial capital and hijack His Majesty's heart, but because of the presence of veterans, Yuan's rebels dare not easily send troops to Luoyang, but with veterans, Yuan Shao is a traitor , the heart of seeking a man is not dead, there must be a conspiracy!"

Liu Bian asked Dong Zhuo quite appropriately, "According to Dong Aiqing, what is Yuan Shao's plan?"

Dong Zhuoyi said sternly: "Your Majesty, it is not the old ministers who are suspicious. Your Majesty and the old ministers insist on moving the capital to imitate Gaozu in the Guanzhong area and promote the emperor's career. At the same time, it can also prevent Yuan Shao and other rebels in the Guandong from further harming Your Majesty. After the old ministers discussed moving the capital, some people with ulterior motives, headed by Zhang Wen, have been constantly blocking His Majesty from moving the capital."

As soon as the words 'with ulterior motives' were uttered, the faces of the crowd headed by Yang Biao were a bit unkind.

But Dong Zhuo didn't realize it, and continued: "Where would I have thought that the dignified Sili captain, the minister who sits alone, has long been with Zhang Jiao, Yuan Shao and other thieves. These insects have been lurking in the court for many years. No one can notice, it's really painful!"

"Zhang Wen has always been opposed to moving the capital, and he made it clear that he wanted His Majesty to fall into Yuan Shao's hands. Such sinister intentions are truly unacceptable! Your Majesty, I request an order, all three clans of thieves!"

Zhang Wen was shocked when he heard this.

He panicked and shouted at the Son of Heaven and Empress Dowager He: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have been wronged! I have always been loyal to the big man and to Your Majesty!"

Dong Zhuo interrupted Zhang Wen's words coldly: "Your Majesty and Your Highness are free to judge whether you are loyal or not. Now that you have all the evidence of your rebellion, how can you deny it!"

Xun Shuang stood up tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Mr. Zhang came from a famous family. He has always been respected among the scholars. He is dedicated to his duties and has made great achievements in the court. How can he be punished? It is true that he is rebellious. If there is any doubt, please let Your Majesty and His Highness learn from you!"

Although Xun Shuang entered the court not long ago, as one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, his prestige is very high.

Since Xun Shuang entered the court, not only the Luoyang court, but also the entire Sili high-ranking officials, as well as many Qingliu students in the Imperial Academy of the capital, surrounded Xun Shuang one after another. Over time, he became a He became the spokesperson of the Chaozhong Qingliu series.

Xun Shuang's words are naturally very important.

If Yuan Kai and He Jin were here instead, after listening to Xun Shuang's words, they might give him three points of face.

But Dong Zhuo is not!
What Qingliu party members, what gentry officials... They have already broken Dong Zhuo's heart.

Especially Xun Shuang is also the person Dong Zhuo recruited, but now he is standing on the opposite side of himself...

Why give him face?
Dong Zhuo sneered,
"Duke Xun's words, do you mean that the old man deliberately slandered Zhang Thief?"

Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "The old man never said that, nor did he mean it."

"Since Mr. Xun has no such intentions, that's the best. All these evidences are clearly in front of Mr. Xun. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Tingwei to verify it. If you don't, then don't doubt it."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at the emperor and the queen mother again.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the matter is of great importance, it is related to the survival of the country, and there must be a decision."

These words can be regarded as a decision for Liu Bian and Queen Mother He.

It is impossible for Dong Zhuo not to have greeted them before doing this matter.

Since he dared to bring Zhang Wen up to the hall, it meant that the two parties had reached an agreement on this matter.

So, Zhang Wen is doomed today.

But the Emperor and Empress Dowager He couldn't do such a thing as destroying the three clans.

Zhang Wen's family is a big family in Nanyang, and many famous people in the world, as well as high-ranking families, are closely related and intermarried with each other.

If Zhang Wen's three clans are really going to be wiped out, how many prominent families in the Kanto region will be pushed to Yuan's side?
Although Liu Bian is young, he still has some considerations in this matter.

The emperor said: "Although Zhang Wen's crime is unforgivable, how can his people offend him? I am a benevolent and righteous king. How can I do such a tyrannical thing? In my opinion, it is enough to deal with Zhang Wen alone. Let’s not pursue the right.”

Before the other people present could express anything, Dong Zhuo saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is wise and merciful, it is truly a gift from God to the Lord!"

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Push Zhang Wen out and behead him!"

When the words fell, Hua Xiong strode up to Zhang Wen, grabbed him from the ground, and dragged him to the outside of the hall.

Among the courtiers, some seemed to want to go up and block it directly, but they still didn't dare.

There are many Xiliang sergeants in the hall, watching the situation of the court like tigers and wolves. Under such circumstances, who would dare to make a move easily?

Not long after, Zhang Wen's bloody head was taken back by Hua Xiong.

In fact, after Zhang Wen was killed, the body could be taken away without any need to return the head to the hall for public display.

But everyone knows that this is Dong Zhuo killing a chicken for the monkey to see.

……

Zhang Wen died, and the dignified Captain Sili, one of the three sitting alone, was dealt with by Dong Zhuo in front of everyone in the court.

The other ministers of the court, no matter who they are, are also full of coolness at this moment.

Through today's events, they have seen that the emperor is completely on Dong Zhuo's side.

Most people's hearts were cold, and they began to fear.

They start to worry about their future.

Three days later in the evening, Yang Biao was the host and invited several colleagues to drink at his mansion.

Yang Biao and Huang Wan had previously been among the three princes, but during the Yuan Rebellion, the imperial court removed them from the positions of Sikong and Situ.

This is a very normal operation. For many years, whenever there was a war in the Han Dynasty, one or two Sangongs would inevitably be dismissed to take over the faults of the sky. This has become an unwritten rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although it was a rule, Yang Biao and Huang Wan were still very depressed at the time.

After all, the official has been masturbated by others, and whoever he replaces will feel bad.

However, compared to the degree of distress in today's situation, it was really drizzle when the two were held by the Sangong.

"Everyone, Dong Zhuo is so rampant, he kills the important officials of the court and monopolizes the power, it is really intolerable! If these thieves are not punished, will the whole world be destroyed by him?"

Huang Wan sighed: "What are you begging for? Now that the emperor and the queen mother are on his side, they obey the old thief's words. We want to attack the old thief. We don't even have a decent edict. Looking back, it's true. This rebel On the contrary, it has become us, alas, it is really annoying."

Henan Yin Yangyi said: "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are really confused. They actually believe such a person. Look at what the emperor is doing now! He is simply disobeying his ancestors!"

Everyone was chattering, and you said something, either scolding Dong Zhuo, or criticizing the emperor.

At this time, I heard a person speak slowly: "Since your majesty is unworthy, how about I set up a new king?"
