Chapter 509: Chang'an Dong Zhuo still shows off his power
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Wenyou! Why get angry over trivial matters! Conferring Zuo Aoran the title of Bingzhou will enable him to control foreign tribes in other countries. He promoted Gongsun Xu as the governor of Youzhou, all because of Gongsun Zan's friendship.
Above, the two are bound to go to war soon. Now that Jizhou belongs to Yuan Shao, the Gongsun family and the Yuan family have been at odds for a long time, so a war will definitely begin. Gongsun Xu will definitely not be Yuan Shao's opponent. Zuo Aoran will definitely intervene when the time comes. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are young
Friends, we will definitely help each other. When the four families fight together in Kanto, we can reap the benefits and annihilate the four families in one fell swoop, gaining the land of the four states in Guandong! Haha! Zuo Aoran's three memorials,
He has already been approved, there is no need to discuss it further!"
"Promise!" Li Ru had no choice but to agree.
From then on, Dong Zhuo became more arrogant and arrogant. He only kept feasting and feasting every day, and his arrogance became higher and higher day by day. To say that in Luoyang before, Dong Zhuo still had some scruples and left a little face for Bai Guanneng. Now it can be said that he is completely
I can't even get rid of them.
In order to improve his status, Dong Zhuo forced Emperor Liu Xie to grant him the title of "Shangfu". The ceremonial guards when entering and leaving were far greater than those of the emperor. When walking on the street every day, purified water must be sprinkled on the street, and pedestrians must kneel on both sides.
Although Dong Zhuo is known as the prime minister of the country "below one person and above ten thousand people", he actually far surpasses the emperor and enjoys privileges such as "praising and worshiping without fame, entering the court without following, and going to the palace with swords and shoes". On the contrary, he still needs the emperor.
As an uncle!
Dong Zhuo, who was extremely ambitious, was so arrogant that he once again made everyone in his family named Dong, regardless of gender, old or young, a feudal lord. He wished he could also seal the dogs, chickens, etc. that he raised in the family. It can be said that
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Dong Min was originally a drunkard and a womanizer, but now relying on Dong Zhuo's favor, he became more and more unscrupulous, bullying men and women in Chang'an City and doing all kinds of evil. Whenever he heard that a minister had a beautiful woman in his family, he would personally lead his troops to force him to hand him over.
, otherwise the whole family will be put to death.
Dong Huang was not a good person either. According to the instructions of his uncle Dong Zhuo, he closely monitored Emperor Xian. Entry and exit of the palace and anyone he met had to be reviewed by Dong Huang and could only be carried out after approval.
In order to satisfy his extravagant and lustful desires, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to expropriate two to three hundred thousand civilians and built a fortress more than 250 miles away from Chang'an. The height and thickness of the city walls were similar to those of Chang'an, and palaces and warehouses were built inside.
, the stored grain is enough for twenty years. In addition, they also search for rare treasures, gold, silver, jewelry, and colorful silks and satins. They are piled up in the warehouse. The layout of the palace inside is like
A miniature version of Chang'an City.
Dong Zhuo was frightened by the princes of Guandong, so he figured out that life only lasts for a few decades, so let's enjoy it early! Dong Zhuo selected hundreds of handsome men and beauties among the people to fill them and serve them in the city. Dong Zhuo arranged for his family to live there
Inside it, he blatantly named it "Long Live Wu" and stipulated that any official passing by his fief must dismount his horse, salute him respectfully, and travel between Yiwu and Chang'an by himself, or every half a month.
When he returns home, or once a month, all the ministers and officials of the court will be waiting to see him off outside Hengmen.
Dong Zhuo also often brought some of his favorite maids to the palace and came back to enjoy them himself. From the small town to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo went back and forth without getting tired anyway. When he got tired of playing with the maids, he gave them to his Xiliang generals.
To win people's hearts.
In order to frighten the officials, Dong Zhuo often killed people for fun. One day, the officials sent Dong Zhuo out of the city to Xiwu. Just because one of them knelt a little too slowly, Dong Zhuo immediately took the man's family to the outside of the city and tore them apart on the spot, wailing in pain.
The sound shook the sky, and all the officials seeing him off were frightened and frightened, but Dong Zhuo still talked and laughed calmly.
Once, many officials in the court were invited to a banquet by Dong Zhuo. The officials were all puzzled as to what kind of medicine was in Dong Zhuo's gourd. At the banquet, Dong Zhuo was in high spirits and told everyone not to be scrupulous and drink freely.
After drinking for three rounds, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and mysteriously said to everyone present: "To help everyone enjoy the wine, I will present a wonderful show for you, please enjoy!" After saying this, he high-fived and laughed wildly.
Suddenly, the entire banquet turned into a murderous execution ground. Dong Zhuo led hundreds of northern rebels who had been lured into captivity to the center of the venue. He first ordered the soldiers to cut off their tongues, and then some had their hands and feet cut off, and some were tortured.
The cruelty of gouging out the eyes made all the officials and soldiers present miserable. Many guests were so frightened that their chopsticks fell to the ground. However, Dong Zhuo remained calm and drank freely, with a proud look on his face.
On another occasion, Dong Zhuo tied hundreds of captured rebel soldiers with cloth strips, then stood them upside down, then poured ointment on them, and then lit a fire and burned them alive. It was extremely cruel!
Dong Zhuo also tortured hundreds of officials. If an official did not go along with his wishes, he would cut off his hands and feet, gouge out his eyes, cut out his tongue, or boil him in a big pot. The methods were endless, which frightened all the officials.
He was frightened every day, and every time before going to court, many officials would write a suicide note at home to avoid tragic accidents.
Another day, Dong Zhuo was having a banquet with his ministers. He was very happy. After drinking for three rounds, Lu Bu came in and whispered a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear. Dong Zhuo stood up with a smile and walked to the former captain Zhang Wen.
In front of him, he kindly offered Zhang Wen a glass of wine and said, "Master Zhang, you have worked hard these days!"
Zhang Wen was confused and thought to himself: "No!" But before Zhang Wen could say anything, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to drag Zhang Wen out of the court. After a while, Zhang Wen's beard and hair were spread out, and his big head was placed on a
It was brought in on a wooden tray, and all the officials had pale faces.
Dong Zhuo said: "Zhang Wen colluded with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other traitors from Guandong to harm the truth. Don't be alarmed, gentlemen. Come on, let's continue drinking!" All the officials were horrified, but Dong Zhuo raised their glasses and they dared not not raise their glasses.
Cup, I had to raise my cup tremblingly to greet him.
Let’s not mention Dong Zhuo, who is about to die. Let’s turn around and talk about Zuo Aoran’s good neighbor, the new Jizhou Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is recruiting troops in Jizhou, but he is also paying attention to his surroundings anytime and anywhere to see if there is anyone who can make him stronger.
Chance?!
At this time, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, had recruited a group of troops to follow the Kwantung princes to attack Dong Zhuo. However, when he had recruited all his troops, the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou attacked again like a snowball. Jiao He was so angry.
Damn it, what a great opportunity to show your face in front of the world, but it was ruined by such a bunch of yellow turban thieves, it's really annoying!
So Jiao He had no choice but to vent all his grievances on the Yellow Turban thieves. Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, had fought hard before, but at the end of the fight, he forgot about it. He went deep alone with no backup, and was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Legion. The whole army
However, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou who was seriously injured, escaped unexpectedly, but later Jiao He fell ill and died due to being chased by the Yellow Army.
Yuan Shao seized the right opportunity and quickly defeated Zhang He. Chun Yuqiong, Qu Yi and others attacked Qingzhou. The three generals were all eager to make contributions. Qingzhou Yellow Turban was no match for these three generals. In just a few hits, Yuan Shao defeated him three times and five times.
The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were dispersed, and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou fled, and dispersed. Except for the sporadic Yellow Turbans still operating in the Qingjin territory, the main force of the Yellow Turbans gradually moved to Yanzhou.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed that he had won Qingzhou so easily, and thought to himself: "Finally, this piece of fat meat in Qingzhou is in his hands!" So Yuan Shao divided the officials and firmly controlled the counties of Qingzhou, and hired new advisers to review the subordinates.
With help from others, they pretended to be a military and political power in Qingzhou.
