Dong Zhuo's blood ran cold, and then boiled up like never before. It was caused by a monstrous anger. This anger was the fire of ignorance that originated from the party members' deception. The blood of the party members must be used to fill his heart.
But he also knew that this was a political trick. The court politics had been like this for hundreds of years. General Liang Ji was cruel and cruel, poisoned the emperor, murdered virtuous officials, and was later killed by Emperor Huan. However, after Emperor Huan took charge,
Which of the eunuchs in high positions does not cruelly abuse the people? In fact, there is no difference between the party members. It is a shame that he believed the nonsense of party members such as Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong, and actually thought that there was really any difference between them! Courtesy and courtesy are just usurping power.
It was just a gesture that he should have done before. Now that he has already gained the power, why should he worry about Qingliu anymore?
So the Liang people got the order, rode on their tall horses, held bright knives, and marched to the Sangong Mansion on the official road, saying that they wanted to search for evidence of collusion with Yuan Shao. Cui Lie had received the news early, but he could neither escape.
, and could not go to court, so he could only sit at home and comfort his children, saying: "It is true that I have no contact with Yuan Shao. They can just search for me. They will only lose some money."
They just sat in the main room, waiting for Cang Tou to open the door for Liang Ren. The leader was Beizhong Lang General Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen did not enter the room, but brought a mat in front of the door and waved to his subordinates.
Enter the house and search. Although the Liang people have been in Beijing for many days and have been in and out of the two palaces, the two palaces have been dilapidated by coups and have never been able to appreciate the prosperity of the capital. Now with Dong Zhuo's permission, they can enter the high-gate house and rob people.
Everyone is gearing up to make a fortune.
Hu Zhen gave the order, and they rushed into the mansion, searching every house inch by inch like locusts. All the gold and silver money was moved out in less than an hour. Bamboo slips and scrolls were scattered in the study room that was the focus of the search.
In this place, no one cared about the letters, and the soldiers could not understand the emperor's elephant. Zhang Zhi's calligraphy was just thrown away, and he knocked on the bricks one by one against the wall, but found nothing in the cracks, so he simply threw the screen and the guqin away.
They all moved out. Some soldiers did not grab gold, silver, or rice. They were angry and resentful. When they saw that there were attractive women among the branches and servants of Cui Mansion, they even tore off their clothes and were naked.
, he was insulted in front of the public, and the woman's cries were heard. From noon to dusk, Cui Gong remained as motionless as a wooden man.
Cui Gong had always been famous and had a smooth official career when he was young. After he entered Luo and became the Jiuqing, he was regarded by the government and the public as the best candidate for the Three Dukes. Later, he used money to buy the position of Situ. His reputation was slightly disliked by the scholars, but in the past seventy-six years
, he has lived in the world for a long time, when has he ever encountered such an insult? After all the Liang people left, he walked out of the Mingtang and saw that the walls of the side rooms on both sides were dug out, and corn husks were scattered on the road, with a lot of silk and cotton threads mixed in.
, he went to see the humiliated women. In order to save their reputation, the women were killed on the rockery one after another before Cui Gong could speak.
The subsequent searches of Zhang Wen, Liu Hong, and Ding Palace were similar. However, when searching the house of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, Hu Zhen did not ask about the connection between Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao, but said directly: "Li Ling surrendered to the Huns, and Shizong will
The Li clan was destroyed, and Yuan Shao launched an army to rebel. You should know the fate of the Grand Tutor." Immediately, the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji, and more than 50 members of the Yuan family's infants were imprisoned. The people of Luoyang saw the Grand Tutor.
A long procession of prison cars was dragged out of the mansion. The former dignitaries were now wearing shackles and prison uniforms, so they felt very sad. They said privately: Since Yuan Liang, the Yuan family in Runan has flourished, with Yuan An, Yuan Chang
, Yuan Tang, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Wei serve as the three princes. There is no more prominent family in the country than the Yuan family. But now that even the Yuan family is about to decline, how can the other families be preserved?<
/p>
After taking care of these chores, Dong Zhuo went to the emperor and said: "Now that Yuan Shao has launched a rebellion in Guandong, the country is in a critical moment. Not only are there rebels outside, but there are also people with ulterior motives inside who are waiting for an opportunity. If you want to defeat the powerful
To eliminate the enemy and eliminate internal worries, it is necessary to restore the position of Prime Minister of the country, appoint good and loyal ministers to intimidate the small forces at home and abroad, and then coordinate the national affairs and work together to suppress the rebellion."
Then the emperor sent a blank edict with a seal, in which Dong Zhuo wrote: "Dong Qing is the only one who is loyal to all the ministers in the dynasty. Dong Qing is the only one who can be called a famous general in the world. Who can be the prime minister of the country instead of Dong Qing?"
So Dong Zhuo worshiped him as the prime minister, and because Xiliang's contribution was not taken into account, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yi County.
Dong Xiangguo looked at the former ministers of the court, all of whom had yielded to give way to him, and felt quite satisfied. However, he suddenly thought of his two useless sons, and Xiangguo was quite sad. He thought to himself: Even his sons are gone, and he is drifting on his own.
Half his life, what for? For a while, showing off one's power in the main hall became boring. A few days later, he ordered his mother to be named Chi Yangjun, his brother Dong Min to be Marquis of Hu, and his nephew Dong Huang to be Marquis of Martial Arts.
His granddaughter Dong Bai was the king of Weiyang, and had the title of Prime Minister. During his reign, a man named Tang Gongfang from Chenggu in Hanzhong worshiped an immortal as his teacher, and the immortal gave him elixir to ascend to heaven. After Tang Gongfang became an immortal, he did not leave his family behind.
When he saw something, he called upon the immortal. The immortal summoned strong winds and clouds with great magic power, and welcomed the public house's wife, house, and six animals. They all went to heaven and disappeared suddenly. The villagers heard the crowing of roosters in the sky and the barking of dogs in the clouds, so they set up shop here.
Monument commemoration. Nowadays, Dong Zhuo has consecrated all his relatives, which can be said to be the same, except that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. Dong Zhuo's move will only make hundreds of officials slander him. They talked privately: After all, pretending to be wise, his flaws will be revealed in two months.<

By December, Yin Zhujun of Henan received news from Chenliu and reported to the court that Bohai Governor Yuan Shao and Jizhou Mu Han Fu also led their troops to Chenliu. Now there are thirteen Guangmu Shou gathered in Chenliu County:
Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Prefect Kong Wei, Yanzhou Prefect Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Shangdang Prefect
Zhang Yang, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Beihai Prime Minister Chunyu Qiong, and Changshan Prime Minister Cui Jun. In addition, there were several comrades of Yuan Shao including Fenwu General Cao Cao. At this time, there were more than 200,000 troops gathered in Jujube, and there were nearly 100,000 troops in Hanoi.
There are 100,000 soldiers. Yuan Shu, the rear general in Nanyang, is still recruiting soldiers and horses. The conservative estimate of the soldiers and horses will not be less than 70,000. Such a splendid army is difficult to match even when Wang Mang went out to conquer Lulin.
Although Dong Zhuo boasted that he was far superior to Yuan Shao and others, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant when he heard that the Kwantung Allied Forces numbered nearly 400,000 people. He asked Li Ru for his advice and said: "Throughout the ages, there are a few who can face ten times the enemy and win.
But the only one who can defeat an army of 400,000 is the Overlord of Western Chu. I think my level is no better than Peng Yue Yingbu, but now I am at a loss."
Li Ru then said: "Why should the prime minister be humble? If the prime minister is not as good as an overlord, can Yuan Shao be as good as the great ancestor? If he is really so superb, how can the prime minister control the government? Although Wu Qiong is unpredictable, his words do make sense.
.Although Yuan Shao was able to order the princes to gather together, things started in a hurry and it was difficult to unite the hearts of the people. And we are sitting on the Eight Passes. Weihan is strong. As long as we hold on to the key points and the rebels cannot attack, it will inevitably be like the attack of the Six Kingdoms.
Qin Ban attacked and disintegrated each other, and it would not be difficult for us to defeat each other at that time."
He was mentioning the matter of moving the capital again, and Dong Zhuo also deeply agreed with it, but at this time Li Ru added another strategy: "Now we still have to do something. The coalition forces want to help King Hongnong regain the throne because the prime minister has been abolished and established without a name.
Your Majesty, there are many ministers in the court who have this idea. Prime Minister, you must be careful about this matter!"
These words were so heart-wrenching that even Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look around. Seeing no one around, he swiped his hand downwards and said slowly to Li Ru: "This matter must be done neatly."
, don’t make any mistakes again." Li Ru bowed and bowed again, then turned and left immediately.
On the first month of the first year of Chuping, Luoyang tried its best to celebrate the passing of the new year and the arrival of the new year. Soon, the joyful mood was gone. Everyone in Luoyang City was anxious, worrying about moving the capital and starting a war.
Since the Prime Minister came to power, people have been fleeing to various places in Henan, but after all, it is difficult to leave their homeland, and most of them are still staying in Luoyang. But now that the Prime Minister has to prepare for war and move the capital, it has no choice but to do so. All the students from Taixue have left Beijing because of this. Doctors such as Zheng Xuan and others offered wine.
They also hung up their seals and left. The remaining people lamented and were helpless. Most of them could understand the sadness of Qu Yuan, the Sanlu doctor, by the Miluo River.
On the night of the twelfth day, the prince of Hongnong ordered Li Ru to enter the palace. He was wearing a crimson fox fur, holding a lacquer box, and brought with him about twenty soldiers. The soldiers were holding weapons and wearing iron armor.
The snowy corridors made a sound like rain, and the palace people along the way hid to one side, as if they were avoiding the god of death.
When Li Ru arrived at the East Palace, a soldier opened the door, and the other soldiers immediately poured into the palace and occupied each door in the palace. Li Ru looked at the East Palace. The palace was dark, like a deserted ruin, and the cold wind washed away the palace.
There were people moving through the pillars, making a man-eating howl. There was only a light in the side room, which was faint and clear. Li Ru brought three guards closer and looked in through the crack in the door, only to see two furnaces.
Next to the fire, King Hongnong and Princess Tang Ji were cuddling together to keep warm. At another fire, four palace attendants gathered in a circle and were whispering.
Li Ru pushed the door open and entered, and the room suddenly became quiet. When King Hongnong saw Li Ru's appearance, his face lost color and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He mustered up the courage to ask him: "The doctor ordered me to come here."
What's the matter here?" Li Ru put down the lacquer box in his hand, took out carp, chicken gizzards, minced meat, and braised cakes. After placing them all on the table, he said to King Hongnong: "The weather is cold now, and the Prime Minister ordered me to do this.
Come, serve your Highness a meal." He took out a wine cup and a calender from the next floor, poured a cup of warm turbid wine into the calender, and said: "This wine is medicinal wine presented by Shouyang Taoist Temple. You can use it.
To ward off evil, the Emperor specially ordered me to give it to His Highness to drink."
King Hongnong looked at the purple medicinal wine and saw the hot air surrounding the wine. He thought of his mother who died suddenly. He couldn't help but pulled Tang Ji back to the corner, pointed at Li Ru and shouted loudly: "I'm not sick, you are trying to kill me."
That's all!" After he finished speaking, he shook his fingers and said bitterly: "That day you humiliated my mother in front of all the officials and me, do you think I dare to forget it!" His words were sad and he served in the palace of King Hongnong.
People all bowed their heads and sighed after hearing this.
Li Ru came forward with the wine indifferently, poured the first glass of wine on King Hongnong's face, grabbed his collar and said: "Your Highness, since you remember the embarrassment that day, don't make today too embarrassing!" He loosened his collar, and King Hongnong choked with tears and collapsed to the ground. Tang Ji lay beside him and began to cry. When King Hongnong stood up dejectedly, he lowered his head and said, "How many times have I done this?"
Emperor Yue, please give me another hour to have a feast."
Li Ru thought that this was indeed the case, so he agreed. King Hongnong said again: "Give me a pot of non-poisonous wine. I want to taste the wine before I die." Li Ru had a wine bag on his waist, so he took off it and gave it to Hong.
King Nong, King Hongnong was extremely sad. He poured wine and drank farewell to Concubine Tang and his entourage one by one. After the tour, King Hongnong poured the remaining wine into his throat and sang: "The way of heaven is so easy, how difficult it is for me to give up!"
Wan Chengxi retreated to Tibet. The rebellious ministers saw the pressure and their lives were not extended. You are about to die and you are in the dark and mysterious place!"
He made Tang Ji dance, and she raised her sleeves and sang again. After the song, King Hongnong drank the poisoned wine in his hand, and said to Tang Ji: "You are the emperor's concubine, and it will be difficult to marry ordinary officials and people in the future. Self-love
Let me part with you from now on!" Tang Ji held him in her arms, weeping and unable to speak. Liu Bian vaguely saw his mother and father, and choked again and said, "Why bother being the emperor?" Then he died of abdominal collapse.
