Chapter 610: West into Chang'an

In Weiyang Palace, the courtiers were dressed in plain clothes and waited anxiously outside the palace.

It's coming, it's coming!

A eunuch outside the door said.

An iron stream galloped forward, it was the Xiliang Elite Flying Bear Army Iron Armor Army under Dong Zhuo, and the leaders were Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Tilting less, Dong Zhuo's carriage galloped over, and next to the carriage was followed by a heroic general, who was Lu Bu.

After the carriage stopped, Dong Zhuo was bright and walked down with a big belly.

"Welcome to the Master!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Those who know the times are Junjie.

Now it is Dong Zhuo's world, they naturally have to bow their heads when they should bow their heads, and those who don't bow their heads are long gone.

Kindness!

Dong Zhuo nodded proudly, and walked into the main hall with the support of everyone holding the moon.

Lu Bu led the people to follow suit.

Dong Zhuo doesn't have to take off his shoes, so naturally they don't either.

This is the ascension of a chicken dog to heaven.

Entering the main hall, several Wenchen immediately stood up.

"The Taishi is here!"

The leaders are Wang Yun and Cai Yong.

"Zishi, uncle!"

Dong Zhuo also smiled and nodded.

Wang Yun is Dong Zhuo's ally and the head of the ministers, so naturally he doesn't have to go out to greet Dong Zhuo.

Cai Yong is a nerd, his heart is on the revision of Hanshu, he rarely participates in court meetings, and there is no conflict with Dong Zhuo.

In addition, he is the father-in-law of Guo Jia, the overlord of the Northlands, even Dong Zhuo does not dare to provoke easily.

In 192 A.D., the Empress Dowager Dong Shixue.

Empress Dowager Dong has gone through two emperors, and she has the grace of reinvention for the current emperor Liu Xie, and the little emperor is naturally mourned by the whole country.

But now, it is Dong Zhuo who is in charge.

Although the emperor is still the emperor, Dong Zhuo is not the same Dong Zhuo anymore.

This guy has a strong desire for power, and he takes charge of the affairs of the court, and the little emperor has become a clay statue and is offered to the high.

If it's just like that, this guy will go to the temple with a sword and don't kneel.

What does that mean?

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the minister went to the palace to meet the emperor, he had to take off his shoes.

Why slippers? Is it to avoid staining the solid wood floor in Weiyang Palace?

Of course not.

At that time, people believed that going to the temple barefoot and sacrificing was a sign of respect for the emperor and the gods.

Scholars and generals carried swords with them, which was a symbol of status and non-existence, and they were to be taken off and kept at the guards when they went to court, and then retrieved after the dispersal of the court.

Not only that, but when you meet the emperor, you should walk forward quickly and call yourself by name.

For example, when a courtier goes to see the emperor, he must hand over his sword to the guards outside the Weiyang Palace, and when he comes to the main hall, he must slippers and walk in barefoot (you can also wear socks).

When you see the emperor, you should speed up your pace and bow to the ground.

"Chen, so-and-so, meet Your Majesty!"

Or a eunuch beside the emperor shouted sharply.

"A certain marquis, a certain general, a certain general, an audience!"

The emperor said that if he was flat, this courtier could return to his seat. At that time, there were no benches, seats were seats, and everyone knelt on them.

It's the whole process.

But when you get to Dong Zhuo, you don't need it here.

People don't need to take off their shoes and untie their swords when they go to the palace, and when they see the emperor, they arch their hands and say that I am here, and they don't need to bow down or call their names.

Entering the palace is as casual as entering your own home, and entering the harem is not a problem.

It seems that the palace maids and concubines of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty have all been favored by Dong Zhuo.

There is no harm without contrast.

At this moment, the sense of superiority came out.

That's the treatment.

Of course, it is not Dong Zhuo's treatment alone, there has been such a precedent before.

For example, Xiao He, Liang Ji, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao and so on. Dong Zhuo is also painting a scoop according to the gourd.

In court politics, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself the Taishi, dismissed the three dukes from their positions, and took over the power with Wang Yun as the auxiliary.

It can be said that the current Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has long been reduced to a puppet.

In dealing with the Empress Dowager's funeral, the little emperor must obtain Dong Zhuo's consent.

"Take filial piety!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly shouted.

Lu Bu behind him hurriedly sent a white robe.

Dong Zhuo pretended to put on white clothes and wiped a few tears.

"The Empress Dowager has worked hard and made great achievements, so it is natural to have a thick burial, and the Empress Dowager will personally support the funeral."

Taishi is benevolent and filial!

The crowd praised in unison.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo overthrew Yuan Kui, and once recognized the Empress Dowager Dong as his aunt and won the trust of the Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong was also very happy to see this well-behaved nephew, after all, both sides were surnamed Dong, although they couldn't reach one piece with eight poles.

From this point of view, Dong Zhuo is still the younger generation of the Empress Dowager Dong.

Hearing Dong Zhuo say this, the little emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"Everything depends on the Taishi!"

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the current little emperor did not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo snorted and said, "Wang Situ, this matter will be handed over to you, and it must be a grand funeral!" ”

Rest assured!

Wang Yun answered.

"Uncle, you are a great Confucian in the dynasty, this matter of drafting documents ......"

Cai Yong also nodded and said, "Cai Yong is duty-bound!" ”

Very good!

Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction.

The taste of being in power is cool.

From the emperor to the princes and ministers, they did not dare to disobey his words.

Here, he is what he says, and he does whatever he wants.

For a while, Dong Zhuo was a little ambitious.

At this time, a eunuch outside suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, Princess Cai Yan and Hussar General Guo Jia have come to pay their respects."

What the?

Hearing this name, everyone was shocked, and Dong Zhuo was also surprised.

Now although he is the king and hegemon, there is one person who does not dare to provoke easily, that is the hussar general Guo Jia.

This person has a strong army of more than 100,000 under his command, and his strength is better than Dong Zhuo's.

Although the two sides are afraid of each other, there is no essential conflict.

When the Kwantung Army was raised, although Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, he never took it to heart, he was more concerned about Guo Jia's attitude, if Guo Jia was to join the alliance, he would have to abandon Luoyang and take his subordinates to occupy Liangzhou exclusively.

But Guo Jia has not been standing still and has not participated. This made Dong Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief.

If Guo Jia participated, Dong Zhuo probably wouldn't be so easy.

Guo Jia didn't do anything, and Dong Zhuo also reciprocated! After returning to Chang'an, he immediately rewarded Cai Yong as a sign of friendship.

He didn't want to clash with Guo Jia, the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhou Army was not a joke, even if Dong Zhuo had the Hangu Pass Danger, he might not be able to block the firearms of the Yunzhou Army.

When he was in Mengjin, Dong Zhuo had witnessed the power of firearms.

"Where is the hussar general now, and how many soldiers and horses have he brought with him?"

Dong Zhuo asked in a deep voice.

"At this moment, I am outside Hangu Pass, bringing 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

The man replied.

10,000 soldiers!

Hearing the news, Dong Zhuo let out a sigh!

Guo Jia only brought such a few soldiers and horses, and he must have come to fight.

To fight, this bit of soldiers and horses is not enough.

Since he didn't come to fight, he was sincere in mourning, and Dong Zhuo couldn't keep people out of the door.

"Someone, send an order to Xu Rong, let him switch it on, and let the hussar general and his party come in!"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice.
