Chapter 420: It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God
The team did not go far, and the hooves in front of them were thundering.
Dong Zhuojun, who was speeding over, stopped the car, the young man cried in fright, and the captain Cui Lie came out and asked loudly: "Who is coming, protect you?" Hijacking? ”
Dong Zhuo, who was dressed in mighty armor, urged him to step forward, did not dismount, glanced at these officials condescendingly, and shouted to the Son of Heaven in the car with his fists: "Dong Zhuo, the former general and state pastor, is here to greet him." ”
Cui Lie looked at Dong Zhuo, and saw that he was burly, his face was like a black bear, and there were a group of tigers and wolves behind him, he was worried that it would be difficult to control, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would do something out of the ordinary, so he ordered Dong Zhuo: "There is an edict to withdraw the army, order you to go quickly!" ”
Dong Zhuo stood still and did not move, and the indifference on his face made people feel chills down his spine.
"Dong Zhuo, didn't you hear!" Cui Lie saw that Dong Zhuo didn't answer, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
You didn't even get a sip of soup and you wanted to drive me away?
Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart, he already gave you face when he replied just now, and now he dares to make an inch, is it true that I came here to be your grandson?
When the court captain gave the order, Dong Zhuo not only regarded it as the wind in his ears, but also showed his hideous fangs in front of everyone: "General Ben has run three hundred miles day and night, what do you want to avoid with me now?" Annoyed General Ben, and cut off your heads! ”
Then, Dong Zhuo cross-examined the ministers and said: "As an important minister of the country, you can't correct the royal family, causing turmoil in the country and the Son of Heaven being exiled, where did you get the face, let me withdraw from the army!" ”
Dong Zhuo's arrogant aura was full, and he easily shocked everyone.
Although Cui Lie is famous, he is useless at this time, and he bumped into Dong Zhuo, which can be said to be a show of talent and a soldier, and it is unreasonable.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo stepped forward to meet Liu Wei and asked him about the incident. Liu Wei saw that Dong Zhuo looked fierce and was so frightened that he was incoherent, but Liu Xie could express it clearly.
Dong Zhuo learned from others that Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and was called "Dong Hou". Dong Zhuo thought that he was of the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, so he was happy, as the so-called 'fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders', and the idea of abolishing the emperor sprouted in his heart.
Back in the Luoyang Palace, He Jin and He Miao were already dead, Dong Zhuo took over the army under their command, and on the grounds that the weather had not rained for a long time, he dismissed Sikong Liu Hong and replaced him himself.
It's easier to please God, and this is just the beginning.
Within two days, Dong Zhuo proposed the abolition of the establishment at the court meeting, and took Huo Guang as an example, since Tian Yannian, which means that whoever dares to come out to oppose will be killed.
Lu Zhi was the first to stand up, and Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and others also stood up, and even drew their swords to face each other.
A court meeting broke up unhappily.
After the meeting, Ding Yuan directly pulled his team and shouted with Dong Zhuo outside Luoyang City.
However, he underestimated Dong Zhuo and overestimated himself. Not to mention the Luoyang team that Dong Zhuoxin recruited, the Flying Bear Army he brought alone is not an existence that this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals can compete with.
The two armies fought in the city, and Ding Yuan's team was not only crushed and defeated, but he himself died in the war.
At the court meeting the next day, Dong Zhuo took a big stride and threw Ding Yuan's head on the hall, a scene of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, which frightened the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, all of whom turned pale.
Lu Zhi, who had been dissuaded before, had already abandoned his official position, and Yuan Shao also fled to Bohai, Jizhou.
Dong Zhuo, who had no obstacles, began his abolition action.
On May 16, in the front hall of Chongde, Ding Palace was responsible for presiding over the abolition ceremony, and Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Wei down from the throne, lifted the jade seal and handed it over to Liu Xie, and then helped Liu Xie to officially ascend the throne, and changed the year name 'Zhaoning' to 'Yonghan'.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo asked Shangshu to read out the policy, and impeached the Empress Dowager He for killing the Empress Dowager Dong, deposed him, and moved to Yong'an Palace.
Soon, there was news that Empress Dowager He had been poisoned to death.
The Queen Mother was funeral, but Dong Zhuo did not allow the court to hold a funeral for her, but only asked the Son of Heaven to go to Fengchang Pavilion in Luoyang City to express condolences, and the ministers wore white clothes to the court for three days.
Subsequently, the imperial court sealed Liu Yu, who was far away in Youzhou, as the great Sima, and Dong Zhuo was changed from Sikong to Tai Lieutenant, and concurrently led the former general, added festivals, gave axes and axes, and was named the Marquis of Yi.
This series of actions, like the momentum of thunder, is dizzying.
From arriving in Luoyang to controlling Luoyang, he ranked among the three dukes.
Dong Zhuo only took fourteen days.
At the end of the month, Dong Zhuo, together with Situ Huangwan, Sikong Yang Biao and others, who had been recalled to Luoyang, carried the gongzi to the court to write a letter, demanding that the many party members who were arrested and killed in the disaster of the party be rehabilitated and their children and grandchildren promoted to officials.
At the suggestion of Li Ru, Qingliu was promoted and Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji and other celebrities were recruited into the court as officials, among them, Cai Yong became Dong Zhuo's most trusted staff. At the same time, a large number of celebrities, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao, etc., were selected to serve in important positions such as local taishou, and even regardless of previous suspicions, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others who were disgusted with abandoning their officials and leaving were awarded Taishou to show reconciliation.
This behavior has changed the views of many scholars on Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's intentions are far more than that. While he was winning over scholars, he also used the military power in his hands to wantonly exclude dissidents and kill innocents indiscriminately.
He even did not hesitate to connive at the slaughter of the village by his soldiers, and used the heads of the people as military merits as capital for promotion.
The officials dared not speak out, Dong Zhuo at this time was already a monopoly on power, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he didn't put them in his eyes at all. And they are also afraid of provoking this arrogant and unreasonable violent man.
Soon, the position of the third duke gradually could not satisfy Dong Zhuo's appetite, he worshiped Xiangguo, sealed the marquis, entered the court, and went to the palace with his sword.
Since then, the entire Luoyang court has become a plaything in Dong Zhuo's hands.
After the morning of this day, when Dong Zhuo left, Wang Yun, who was also a servant and a scholar of Shangshuling, invited many ministers, saying that today was his birthday, and he specially prepared a banquet in the mansion and invited you to the banquet.
That night, many ministers of the DPRK and China went to Wang Yun's mansion.
Among the many guests, there was one person who was uninvited, it was Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy.
As for what was discussed in the palace that night, it was difficult for outsiders to know, except that a faint cry was heard, and a wild laughter contrary to it.
Within a few days, Cao Cao took the opportunity to go to Dong Zhuo's mansion.
However, after only half a pillar of incense, a big news came out from Dong Zhuo's mansion.
Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo didn't react at first, but casually talked to Li Ru, who came over, about Cao Cao's sacrifice of the knife.
Li Ru is such an alert character, and he immediately noticed the cattiness in it. He told Dong Zhuo that Cao Cao most likely came to assassinate him in the name of offering a sword.
However, there is no evidence, and Li Ru can only be hypothetical, he conspired for Dong Zhuo: let people summon Cao Cao, and if he comes, he will offer a knife; But if he does not come, he will be assassinated.
Dong Zhuo sent someone to look for it, but there was still no trace of Cao Cao.
Because he still valued Cao Cao very much before, he didn't expect to raise such a wolf-hearted guy, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he ordered the whole country to arrest him.
