Since the banquet was held in the palace and was not a formal court meeting, the seating arrangements were not so particular.

In addition, there has been some chaos in Luoyang City recently. At this moment, the major forces in the city that control the situation are in charge of each other and have their own purposes and ideas.

Therefore, it was rare to get together, so naturally they were on guard against each other and did not dare to relax at all.

At the very least, generals with heavy troops such as Zhijin Wu and Ding Yuan mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to wait not far outside the main hall. If there is any movement in the hall, they can receive orders at any time to rush in.

At the same time, Ding Yuan himself was wearing a sword and was followed by a large bodyguard. Cao Ang noticed this bodyguard at the first sight when he entered the palace.

He is more than eight feet long, has a strong build, and the swollen muscles of his arms are full of explosive power. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in one hand, he stood behind Ding Yuan with an expressionless face, scanning the officials coming and going with his eyes like a falcon, looking majestic.

The overall style of painting is very different from others in the temple.

After learning from his father that the person sitting in front of him was Ding Yuan, Cao Ang nodded.

It seems that this is the legendary "Leader of the Alliance of Fathers and Sorrows * Leader of the 358th Regiment * Ambassador of Peace who has never fought in his life and had to resolve fights * Loyalty and filial piety * Owner of a battalion of American equipment * God-given calamity * Lu Bu and Lu Yunfei"!

Sure enough, the Tiger of Nine Plains is a talented person.

I wonder how much I can compete with Lu Bu after my physical fitness has been greatly improved?

It should last about ten rounds.

Of course, this is not important. After all, Lu Bu's appearance is much inferior to mine. I, Cao Zixiu, still crush him in terms of appearance.

In line with the first law, anyone whose strength exceeds mine will be defeated by my appearance.

…………

Everyone sat separately on the left and right, and various dishes and fine wines were brought to everyone's tables in turn.

If we ignore the composition of the members participating in the banquet and the tense and serious atmosphere present, it may be a unique banquet.

It's a pity that there is no if.

Except for a few officials with strong communication skills who were chatting and laughing, the rest of the people ate in silence.

Everyone is concerned about one question, that is, what is Dong Zhuo's purpose of holding this banquet, and what is the purpose of summoning so many civil and military officials who would not normally get together?

Soon, Dong Zhuo gave the answer to the question.

After three rounds of drinking, the palace maids and eunuchs left one after another, leaving only the court officials and their subordinates.

Dong Zhuo stood up at this time, and his figure like a black bear gradually climbed up the steps and reached the highest point in the palace.

"I invite you all to come to the banquet today. Dong has something important to announce. Please listen carefully."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone either stopped on the spot or put down their wine glasses and chopsticks. In short, they all waited quietly for Dong Zhuo to take out the medicine he sold in his gourd.

"The Son of Heaven is the king of the Han Dynasty and the lord of all people. He has the responsibility of enshrining the ancestral temples and grains, guarding the land and opening up the territory. This is something that no one without majesty can do."

"I have ascended the throne at a young age. I have a weak character and no majesty at all. I am not qualified to inherit the throne."

"And King Chenliu is also a descendant of the late emperor. Although he is young, he has a calm personality, is responsible for handling affairs, and is more intelligent and studious. He is indeed the best candidate for the position of emperor."

"Therefore, I am going to abolish the current emperor and make King Chenliu the emperor. Do you have any objections?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall was shocked!!!

In just an instant, the entire audience was shocked. Everyone stared at Dong Zhuo with wide-eyed expressions of disbelief, as if they were looking at a ferocious god or evil spirit.

In just a few seconds, the chopsticks and wine glasses that countless people had not put down in time clattered to the ground.

Audacious and daring.

I don't know how many civil and military officials were scolding their mothers crazily in their hearts at this moment, until they were almost at a loss for words.

To abolish the current emperor and establish a new emperor, this is such an outrageous thing. How dare you, Dong Zhuo, do this?

Except for Cao Ang, no one present could have guessed that Dong Zhuo had called everyone together today to announce such a ground-breaking thing.

Everyone feels that although Dong Zhuo is arrogant and domineering, he should at least have a certain bottom line.

Everyone has thought about seizing power, controlling the government, and controlling the capital, but they think that's about it.

Dong Zhuo was so great that he could only be a powerful minister.

But who would have thought that Dong Zhuo would actually hit the bottom with one blow, to depose the current emperor, and then replace him with an emperor who satisfied him.

Such behavior is tantamount to rebellion!

Even though in the 400 years of history of the Han Dynasty, there was a precedent for Huo Guang deposing Haihunhou Liu He, the two were completely different in nature.

Huo Guang was one of the auxiliary ministers selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he was the only one with such status.

Moreover, when Liu He came to the throne, he already had many bad deeds. Although Huo Guang used his ministers to dethrone the emperor, he had such legitimacy in terms of both legal and factual aspects.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's official position at this time was Bingzhou Mu, a local official, and he had never held a position in the imperial court.

Although the current emperor has a weak character, it is precisely because of his weak character that he is obedient and does not like to dictate things. This is the emperor who is liked by almost all his officials.

Then why did Dong Zhuo depose the emperor?

To take a step back, even if His Majesty is not good enough today, it would not be Dong Zhuo's turn to make the decision if he were to be abolished.

Such a disobedient act was tantamount to treason, but most of the officials were angry but did not dare to speak out because of the nearly 20,000 troops Dong Zhuo had stationed in and around Luoyang City.

Of course, not everyone is afraid of Dong Zhuo.

There are only nearly 20,000 troops, and they have not yet reached the point of suppressing everyone. At least Zhijinwu Dingyuan, who has mastered part of the imperial army in Beijing, is not afraid at all.

"Wow!"

A burst of sound broke the silence in the palace.

Ding Yuan overturned the table with both hands, stood up suddenly, looked at Dong Zhuo angrily, and cursed angrily.

"You, a traitor, are just a small out-of-state shepherd. How dare you speak such nonsense?"

"The emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor, and he has been on the throne for several months. He has not done anything wrong. Are you trying to usurp the throne and commit rebellion by discussing the abolition of the throne?"

"Dong Zhuo, I think you want to be Wang Mang!"

Ding Yuan's words were merciless, especially the last sentence, which was extremely lethal, pointing out that Dong Zhuo did this because he wanted to usurp the throne.

Dong Zhuo suddenly became furious.

Even if he really has such thoughts, he dare not admit it at this moment, otherwise no matter how many soldiers he has, he will be killed by King Qin's army gathered from all over the world.

"Whoa!"

"I am dedicated to serving the public good. Ignorant people like you can only talk nonsense!"

Pulling out the sword from his waist, Dong Zhuo ran down the steps in twos and twos, apparently intending to kill Ding Yuan with one strike.

However, Ding Yuan could only sneer, and the wine glass in his hand could be slammed to the ground at any time.

Behind him, Lu Bu, who had always been like a door god, calmly took a step forward and stabbed the ground hard with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

"Boom!"

The sound shook the surrounding areas, like thunder.

It has earth-shattering power.
