Lu Zhi succeeded in planning, Dong Zhuo executed him and gave him the title

Dong Zhuo didn't know that Lu Zhi was already plotting to get rid of him, so he still went his own way and prepared for the grand ceremony of enfeoffment.

Yan, Yu, and Xuzhou have all expressed their stance, and the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy in Chang'an can no longer be shaken.

As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo now only wants to see the two fight among themselves.

Without foreign aggression, could Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao still be in harmony?

"I am already over sixty years old. Wouldn't it be a pity if I can't claim the title of public servant?"

"Once the principality is established, my people will have nothing to fear in the principality."

"If only we could go further."

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of the scene where Liu Xie ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

"What a pity. If the new emperor Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan hadn't established were still there, I could have proclaimed myself emperor directly!"

Dong Zhuo knew very well.

If he proclaimed himself emperor at this time, not only would he not get support, but he would also have the governors of the Kanto states surrender to the emperor in Zhuocheng.

therefore.

Dong Zhuo then retreated and sought the next best thing.

Li Ru came from outside and said: "My father-in-law, the auspicious day has been calculated by divination. At noon on the third day of the sixth lunar month, it is the auspicious day for my father-in-law to be crowned and assist the Duke of Han."

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Then noon on the third day of June! Inform your majesty and all civil and military officials that they must arrive at Yi County before noon on the third day of June! Anyone who delays will have his whole family confiscated!"

In the last sentence, Dong Zhuo has a murderous intention.

At the important moment of proclaiming the throne, Dong Zhuo would kill anyone who dared to do bad things.

"Congratulations to the adoptive father!"

Lu Bu lowered his head and said congratulations, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

Dong Zhuo looked at his adopted son Lu Bu in front of him, and seemed to feel that he had been too harsh in the past few days, so he comforted him: "My son, please wait until I am officially crowned. I will give you the maid you asked for!"

If it were before, Lu Bu would definitely be overjoyed.

But now, Lu Bu had a deep grudge against Dong Zhuo in his heart, and Lu Zhi had promised him the post of general, so how could he still value Dong Zhuo's reward?

Kill Dong Zhuo, and all Dong Zhuo's maids will belong to Lu Bu!

"Thank you, foster father!" Lu Bu pretended to be happy.

Li Ru added: "After my father-in-law is crowned, there must be someone in Chang'an who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. You need to be careful and careful."

Dong Zhuo sneered: "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't dare to come! Just take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bu was secretly surprised.

"The old thief is indeed cunning. He actually wants to take advantage of the coronation to get rid of the opposition forces in Chang'an."

"It's a pity that you can't guess that the person who wants to kill you is Lu Shangshu and I, Lu Fengxian!"

Lu Bu secretly passed the news to Lu Zhi, so that he could be on guard.

Seeing that Lu Bu even spread such confidential information, Lu Zhi's last worry disappeared.

"Gongda, Lu Bu has decided to kill Dong Zhuo, and the plan can be implemented." Lu Zhi was in a happy mood and told Xun You the news Lu Bu had sent.

Xun You said solemnly: "I know that Dong Zhuo has no good intentions in being so eager to proclaim the throne. He wants to wipe out all the opposition forces lurking in the court."

"If Lu Bu hadn't sent the message, we would all have fallen into Dong Zhuo's scheme."

"It's just that Lu Bu is capricious and forgets his righteousness. Isn't Lu Shangshu afraid that he will be the next Dong Zhuo?"

Lu Zhi chuckled: "Although Lu Bu is capricious and forgetful of injustice, he is less scheming than Dong Zhuo."

"What's more, Dong Zhuo has Xiliang generals as his minions, but Lu Bu doesn't have much foundation."

"As long as you promise Lu Bu the position of general and give Lu Bu an ambitious plan, Lu Bu will definitely fight for your majesty in all directions!"

"A person who sees profit and forgets his integrity will become the most useful sharp blade as long as he is given enough benefits!"

Xun You took a long breath and said with firm eyes: "If we can successfully kill Dong Zhuo, the emperor will no longer have to be bullied!"

As a ruthless man who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Xun You has always been courageous and wise.

Time flies.

Time flies like an arrow.

On the third day of June, Dong Zhuo arrived at Yixian County early, and could only wait for the arrival of Liu Xie and hundreds of officials.

Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals have deployed elite troops in Yi County, waiting for the rebels to appear.

Dong Zhuo was closely guarded by Lu Bu and his Tiger Guard.

Not even a mosquito can get close to Dong Zhuo!

It's almost noon.

All officials are gradually coming together.

Liu Xie's Luan Jia also arrived at Xi County on time.

At this critical moment, Liu Xie did not dare to provoke Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo's auspicious day was delayed, Liu Xie was worried that Dong Zhuo would give him a glass of poisonous wine in anger.

Now that he dares to declare himself public, what else does Dong Zhuo dare not to do?

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Dong Zhuo had a stern expression on his face. He had not yet been officially crowned, but he had already skillfully introduced himself as my father.

Liu Xie suppressed his anger and said obediently: "Father Shang is highly respected and has made great contributions to the world. I should crown Father Shang myself!"

After a burst of ceremonial music, Liu Xie handed Dong Zhuo the crown of Fu Han Gong.

But Dong Zhuo did not put it on immediately. Instead, he held the crown hat and glanced coldly at the officials present, arrogant and arrogant.

"Today at this time, I have been crowned to serve as Duke of Han."

"Dear ministers, are you dissatisfied?"

Just when all the officials bowed their heads and Dong Zhuo's vanity was extremely satisfied, a sudden voice sounded, causing an uproar in everyone's hearts.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Minister Lu Zhi, thinks this move is inappropriate!"

"The Han Dynasty has been a country for four hundred years, and only the sons of the two kings Sanke and Emperor Guangwu can claim the title of duke."

"The rest of the people have no qualifications to be called public!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they were all shocked.

Even Liu Xie looked at Lu Zhi in shock.

Since Lu was implanted in Chang'an, he has always been dependent on Dong Zhuo, and he doesn't have much respect for him as the emperor.

As a result, Lu Zhi wants to kill Dong Zhuo today?

Dong Huang, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, scolded: "Lu Zhi, do you know what you are talking about?"

Dong Zhuo's face also turned gloomy.

He had imagined that many people would oppose the declaration of justice today, but Dong Zhuo never expected that it would be Lu Zhi!

"Ziqian, are you kidding me?" Dong Zhuo asked quietly without getting angry.

The violence hidden behind his eyes is daunting.

Lu Zhi did not even look at Dong Zhuo, but bowed respectfully to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict. Xu Chen will kill the traitor Dong Zhuo!"

Liu Xie hesitated and did not dare to answer Lu Zhi's request.

Dong Zhuo could no longer contain his anger: "Lu Ziqian, if you want to die, I will help you!"

Although I don’t know why Lu Zhi suddenly rebelled, Dong Zhuo is not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things.

Since Lu Zhi chose to stand on the opposite side today, Dong Zhuo could only be reconciled if he died.

"Ha~" Lu Zhi sneered and shouted: "The emperor is restrained and cannot issue an edict. I will die for the emperor! You guys, don't take action yet!"

In an instant.

There were shouts of death around the altar.

A general led his troops out and said: "Zhong Ji is here, Thief Dong, you still recognize me!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes turned cold: "Zhongji, I asked you to escape back then, but I didn't expect you to dare to come! Today is just the day to catch all the rebellious officials and traitors like you."

After moving west to Chang'an, Huangmen Shilang Xun You discussed with Yilang Zheng Tai, Chief Shi He Yong, Shi Zhong Zhongji, Yueqi Colonel Wu Qiong and others to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

However, it was leaked before it even started. Dong Zhuo accepted He Yong, Xun You was imprisoned, Zheng Tai escaped and went to Yuan Shu, Wu Qiong was also killed by Dong Zhuo, and Zhong Ji took advantage of the chaos to escape.

In order to avoid capture, Zhong Ji changed his name and hid in Guo Si's army, playing tricks under the light.
