Chapter 372 Depose the young emperor and establish a new emperor!
Everyone present was trembling and did not dare to say a word. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the warrior reined up his horse and walked to the nearest official. He grabbed Yilang Pengbo by the collar and asked everyone again: "
Where is the emperor?"
At this time, the young emperor was trembling all over, his face was ashen, and his speech was trembling and he did not dare to respond. When there was silence in the arena, King Chen Liu opened his eyes angrily, reined in his horse and shouted, "Who is coming?"
When the brave general saw that the young man in front of him dared to talk to him like this, he was about to beat him with the iron rod in his hand, but suddenly he was stopped by Dong Zhuo, the shepherd of Liangzhou behind him, saying: "Come to save the man, former general, Ao
This is Dong Zhuo, the Marquis of Xiangzhou and the Shepherd of Liangzhou. King Chenliu must not be upset. He is humble in his position and has no way to control him. Please forgive me!"
King Chenliu, with his sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, looked at Dong Zhuo, the burly man in front of him, and responded calmly: "Are you here to rescue us and protect us with your troops? Or do you mean to come to kidnap us?
?”
Dong Zhuo, the former general, Marquis of Aoxiang and the shepherd of Liangzhou, was shocked, sweating on his forehead, and responded quickly: "I led the Xiliang cavalry under my command to come all the way from Liangzhou to the Sili court for the purpose of eradicating the great general He Jin.
The eunuchs in the middle of the court, on the side of the Qing emperor, straighten the court, and protect His Majesty."
King Chenliu, who was wearing a broken royal robe, smiled contemptuously without realizing it, and then asked Dong Zhuo silently: "Since Dong Aiqing is here to escort you, why don't you get off your horse and pay homage when you see the emperor here? I don't want to pay homage at this time.
, when will we wait?”
Although King Chenliu was young, he had the image of an emperor, but when he saw his tiger body shaking, Dong Zhuo was frightened. He hurriedly reined his horse forward, then turned over and dismounted, and led his Xiliang army officers to kneel and worship on the right side of the road.
King Chenliu was overjoyed when he saw it, but at this time the young emperor was hiding behind King Chenliu fearfully, tilting his head to look tentatively at the Xiliang army that was pressing away in front of him.
Seeing this situation, all the ministers present lamented that the new king was young and did not have the majesty of King Chenliu who was almost the same age!
I also saw King Chenliu speaking. He comforted Dong Zhuo, the shepherd of Liangzhou, who came to escort him, and praised him for his meritorious service in defeating the bandits in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty. Now he personally led his subordinates to come all the way to protect him. In fact, Chenliu was a minister of the great Han Dynasty Zhongxing.
From the beginning to the end, Wang was speechless.
Dong Zhuo was secretly surprised when he heard this, and then put away his original contemptuous attitude and took the initiative to talk to King Chenliu and the young emperor behind him. In his words, he cursed the treachery of the ten permanent servants, and then inquired about the chaos in the court.
General He Jin was ambushed in Changle Palace and was led by the eunuchs.
At this time, King Chenliu's fluent replies were in sharp contrast with the young emperor behind him who was trembling and dared not speak. This made Dong Zhuo already have the intention to abolish Lili and wanted to do what Yihuo did.
A few days later, when Dong Zhuo escorted all the court officials, King Chenliu, and the young emperor back to the palace, everyone met the Queen Mother He and cried bitterly, lamenting the harshness of the world. In an instant, the ten ministers and the general He Jin all died.
, fortunately Dong Zhuo rescued him, and he was able to come back without any danger.
While the ministers were weeping bitterly, Xiliang Mu Dong Zhuo secretly arranged for his son-in-law Li Ru, his confidants Wang Mang, Er Zhurong, adopted sons An Lushan and Shi Siming to lead his troops to understand the details of the palace!
The next day, Empress Dowager He listened behind the curtain and ordered her ministers to check the affairs of the palace and count the losses caused by the incident. However, she found that the imperial seal was missing, and she searched for it for a long time to no avail.
Dong Zhuo led his troops to garrison outside Luoyang City. Every day he led the powerful generals Niu Mowang and Wang Feng, Wu Wenhua, Liang Fang, Liang Lin, Hou Jing and others as well as more than ten thousand armored soldiers and horses into the city. The army marched rampant in the middle of the market.
, affecting the passage of people, and also making the people in the city panic.
After the people in the city gradually adapted to the actions of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, Li Ru saw that the time was ripe and took the initiative to admonish Dong Zhuo, indicating that the time was ripe for him to enter and exit the court and gradually control the government!
Dong Zhuo got the advice of his confidant son-in-law Li Ru, and immediately led the three powerful generals Wu Wenhua, Wang Feng, and the Bull Demon King to enter and exit the palace with such unscrupulous behavior that the officials frowned, and they dared not say anything in anger, but just pretended that they had not seen it.
, acquiescing to Dong Zhuo's behavior.
At this time, Bao Xin, the Lieutenant of the Later Military Academy, personally met with the Lieutenants of the Central Military Academy, Lu Junyi and Chun Yuqiong. After waiting until no one was eavesdropping, he told them bluntly that Dong Zhuo's behavior, which ignored the rules of the court, must be ulterior motives, and he must be punished.
Remove it quickly!
Lieutenants Lu Junyi and Chun Yuqiong looked at each other speechlessly and said helplessly: "The court has just settled down, so we can't act rashly. What happens next depends on the arrangements of the Queen Mother He and Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Lu Junyi and Chun Yuqiong were unwilling to cause trouble, Bao Xin, the later military captain, took the initiative to say goodbye to them. Then he went to Situ's Mansion with all his heart and soul, met with Situ Wang Yun, and also discussed the recent changes in Luoyang City and Dong Zhuo's behavior.
Although Situ Wang Yun wanted to get rid of the heretics, due to the fact that there were more than 200,000 Xiliang cavalry stationed outside the city, the current situation was not conducive to removing Dong Zhuo, so he shook his head and rejected Bao Xin's idea, but later saw that it was inappropriate and replied
He said: "This matter still needs to be discussed with all the ministers in the palace. As soon as we can make a decision, General Bao Xin will come back!"
Bao Xin saw that none of the officials in the court had the courage to compete with Dong Zhuo, so he led his troops and horses out of Luoyang City towards Mount Tai, not wanting to accept Dong Zhuo's influence in the palace again.
In the next few days, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, felt bored and his ambitions reappeared, so he used solicitation and inducement to gather all the remaining troops and horses under the command of the general He Jin and his brother, the chariot general He Miao, and took them under his control.
Then, Dong Zhuo arranged for his trusted generals Er Zhurong, An Lushan, and Shi Siming to train as soldiers outside Luoyang City to intimidate all officials in the court.
While he was leading his troops to drill, he privately summoned his son-in-law Li Ru and quietly told him his current thoughts: "I have been in Luoyang for many days. I saw that the Queen Mother He listened to the government behind the curtain and controlled the affairs of the court. She was in the limelight.
The young emperor obeyed her orders.
Therefore, I want to abolish the young emperor and establish King Chenliu as the new emperor, Wenyou, what do you think of this matter?"
When the son-in-law Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's remarks, he frowned, and then thought: "The new emperor of the imperial court is still young, so why does the Queen Mother listen to politics behind the curtain, and the officials discuss matters, and repeatedly refuses to accept them? It is really a group of dragons without Seoul!"
Wen You thinks that this matter should be carried out now, otherwise, things will change later. I think that in a few days, the father-in-law can summon all the officials in the court with your Majesty's order in the Wenming Garden to announce the abolition of the young emperor and the establishment of a new emperor.
If there is an official who is unwilling to obey, just kill him in public to scare the monkeys, then your authority, father-in-law, will be completely consolidated in the hearts of all officials!"
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and laughed loudly. Then he left the residence of his son-in-law Li Ru and ordered his trusted generals Wu Wenhua, Wang Feng, Niu Demon King, and Niu Ruyi to strengthen the guard in Luoyang City. In the past few days, no chaos could occur.
, if anything affects the public order, we will kill them all without mercy!
