Chapter 206 The tricks used by the big-eared thief
Huh?
All the officials were very curious, how could Dong Zhuo obtain evidence from the Yuan family in such a short period of time?
Yuan Ji's heart sank suddenly, and he realized that the evidence was not found by Dong Zhuo, but by Liu Bei's royal guards.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's materials are very detailed and the evidence can be said to be conclusive.
Including annexing land, illegal business, accepting bribes, selling off official positions, forming cliques for personal gains, corrupting family traditions, murdering people, etc., one by one, time, place and person, no one is left out.
Yuan Ji could still withstand these, but after the panoramic white drawing of Yuan Mansion was publicly displayed, the experienced and steady Yuan Ji had to kneel down.
There are more than 30 illegal constructions in the Yuan Mansion's residence, and there is no way to hide them.
Of course, many bad things were done by relatives, friends and servants, and those who violated the rules were the ancestors, but who made Yuan Ji the head of the Yuan family?
We can only kneel down and admit it, waiting for the emperor's resignation.
"I am guilty!"
The entire audience was silent, even those who wanted to help were speechless.
More big guys don’t dare to come forward. Whose house has not violated the regulations in front of and behind the house? Whose relatives and friends have not done anything untoward?
Everyone is waiting to see how Liu Bian will deal with it.
Liu Bian was paralyzed. If he wanted to punish the crime according to the law, Yuan Ji would have to kill everyone in his family. In that case, the civil service group would not agree.
But if you don't deal with it, you will damage the imperial power. From now on, no one will take you seriously, especially Dong Zhuo, who is eyeing him with covetous eyes and will not allow you to protect him.
He could only look at Zhao Zhong.
But Zhao Zhong is smarter than any ghost. He can see through the intrigue between Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei at a glance and overthrow the Yuan family to establish their authority.
Anyone who rushes to block the gun at this time is a fool.
Therefore, he didn't say anything, but just shook his head, signaling Liu Bian not to force himself.
Liu Bian panicked, and then he remembered that it would be nice if my mother was here.
While he was thinking wildly, Dong Zhuo stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with it?"
Liu Bian was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
Dong Zhuo took another step forward and asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to deal with it according to the "Laws of the Han Dynasty"?"
Seeing the huge figure approaching step by step, Liu Bian lost his guard and nodded casually: "As you said!"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, pointed at Yuan Ji and said, "Come here, take this rebellious minister and traitor down and deal with him according to law!"
The Liangzhou sergeant on duty at the main hall immediately came up, kicked down the imperial tutor, stripped him of his clothes, and dragged him away.
Unexpectedly, the old disciples of the Yuan family gathered around and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, the great master's hard work has made great achievements, please be lenient!"
Just when Liu Bian was about to speak, Dong Zhuo shouted again: "I have ordered you to clear your side. Anyone who dares to stop him will be held accountable!"
With a roar, more than a dozen warriors came quickly with swords and guns.
They shouted in unison: "Disperse, otherwise, the Fa will be rectified on the spot!"
Yuan Ji, who was being escorted by warriors, knew that Dong Zhuo was strong and oppressive, so he would never show mercy.
"You guys disperse, this matter will be decided by itself."
Under the knife and gun, the hero did not suffer the immediate loss, and the Yuan officials were forced to get out of the way.
Watching Yuan Ji being taken away, Liu Bian didn't know what Dong Zhuo would do next, and he felt extremely anxious.
Zhao Zhong understood the little emperor's thoughts and said: "Retreat if nothing happens!"
"Wait!" Dong Zhuo shouted again and looked at Liu Bian again.
"Dong Qing, what else can I do?"
"The Eastern Capital is in chaos, tyrants are rampant in various places, and the people of the world are in dire straits. This is due to the ineffectiveness of the imperial court. I propose to set up the Prime Minister's Office, the Military Department, the Law Court, and the Public Security Bureau to supervise the judiciary, military and government, benefit the people and provide convenience, and restore the prosperity of the great Han Dynasty.
”
Liu Bian had no intention of dealing with any government affairs, so he followed his mother's example and said, "I'll leave you to write another article if you please!"
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with today's performance and pretended to bow.
A strong dragon passes through the territory and kills the Taifu to establish its power. Which local snake dares to show its teeth?
The empress dowager fell ill, the emperor was young, the Liangzhou army occupied Luoyang, Zhi Jinwu deliberately indulged him, and the grand master avoided his edge. The Yuan family became a stepping stone for Dong Zhuo to ascend to power.
After capturing Yuan Ji, Li Ru joined forces to organize and overthrow the Yuan Alliance. While recruiting talents, they actively attacked the Taifu clan.
The situation between the government and the public in the Eastern Capital has changed drastically. Many middle- and lower-level officials have changed their jobs in order to gain fame and wealth.
Dong Zhuo, who went to court, did not return to camp, but directly visited Yongle Palace.
The Empress Dowager Dong and her grandson Liu Xie summoned Dong Zhuo.
When he saw the Dong family, Dong Zhuo paid homage to his grandchildren and called him "ancestor"!
Ms. Dong knew very well that the other party not only wanted to close the relationship, but also showed good intentions, and the purpose was nothing more than power.
The most likely possibility is to replace the emperor Liu Bian with Liu Xie so that he can further control the court.
Considering the interests of Yongle Palace, the Liangzhou Clan is the strongest force occupying the Eastern Capital. Unity will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms.
After making up her mind, Mrs. Dong ordered: "Dong Qing, please sit down!"
Dong Zhuo sat on the leather sofa and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu Huang is really a strange person. This new 'sofa' is much more beautiful and comfortable than the old one!"
Dong's heart moved, and she smiled and said: "It's true, if some things are not good, they should be replaced with new ones."
Dong Zhuo understood that the other party understood and agreed to replace the emperor, but Liu Bei had hinted that the authority of the Queen Mother was unshakable.
But, there is no need to let the old woman know, can you still take advantage of all the benefits?
Of course, in order to let Liu Xie understand his contribution, Dong Zhuo lamented to Dong: "Now it seems that the late emperor's statement that 'you cannot rule the world' was really foresight."
When the emperor Liu Hong intended to make Liu Xie the crown prince and rebutted the ministers by saying, "Bian'er is frivolous and cannot rule the world," Liu Xie was on the spot.
He immediately understood the true meaning of the previous conversation between Dong Zhuo and Dong.
As the No. 1 crown prince in line, the Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian's establishment naturally didn't have a good view of Liu Xie, so their treatment was quite harsh.
This also made Liu Xie understand prematurely the benefits of rights at a young age.
Today, Dong Zhuo, who is powerful in the eastern capital, came here to express his intention to replace the emperor, which is definitely good for him.
So, Dong Zhuo saw Liu Xie's grateful eyes, smiled slightly and said: "I respectfully ask the Empress Dowager to rest in peace. When the dust settles in ten days, there will be good news."
Mrs. Dong nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Qing Dong!"
Liu Xie also paid tribute to Dong Zhuo: "Dongzhou Mu Gong is loyal to the country, which is really the great fortune of the Han Dynasty."
That’s it!
With the approval of his ancestors and grandchildren, Dong Zhuo left Yongle Palace.
Pull a group of people, stabilize a group of people, attack a group of people, and speed up the progress of key departments such as the Prime Minister's Yamen, the Military Department, the Law Courts, and the Public Security Bureau.
That night, Li Ru arranged the memorial. At dawn, Dong Zhuo took the memorial and continued to sing, asking Liu Bian for his opinion on how to deal with it.
Liu Bian couldn't bear the pressure and could only say four words: "According to Qing's instructions!"
A new court team was established on the same day, and the Liangzhou Department began to occupy various important positions. Of course, the Taishi Department also reaped considerable benefits.
The status of the Prime Minister's Yamen is equivalent to that of Jiuqing. Li Ru served as the first Yamen Prime Minister and was in charge of national government affairs. In order to show respect, after the government affairs were handled, he reported them to the Chancellor and the Grand Master at all levels, which was equivalent to a rubber stamp.

In Li Ru's first memorial after taking office, he publicly listed the ten major crimes of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers and proposed changing personnel.
On the third day, Li Ru's memorial caused an uproar. Naturally, the three ministers and the nine ministers started tit-for-tat, and the quarrel in the main hall turned into a vegetable market.
Finally, Dong Zhuo came forward to make the final decision.
"Your Majesty, only when the court is in order can all officials be rectified. Now that the court is not upright, we might as well summon two thousand officials to the capital, and we can all work together to discuss it."
Baiguan is very familiar with this trick. A certain big-eared thief has used it before.
