Chapter 303: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
"Your Majesty's new illness has not yet recovered, and the quasi-Taishi Zhuo is acting as the government of the court!"
After entering the court, a small yellow door read out the holy decree on the court, although it was brief, but the content of the holy decree made Ma Chao tremble. Looking back, everyone else also looked in disbelief.
Ma Chao was cold in his heart, and admired Liu Xie's little kid's methods: Dong Zhuo was already domineering, this Liu Xie did not let Dong Zhuo act as the government sooner or later, but when Dong Zhuo was assassinated, he was allowed to have this power......
In this way, Dong Zhuo is naturally more unscrupulous and takes what he wants. forced the scholars to speed up the process of murdering Dong Zhuo, but he could sit back and reap the benefits. Even if the scholars fail, Liu Xie can still wait for the opportunity...... This city is really not something that an ordinary eleven-year-old child can come up with.
And what is even more terrifying is that this kind of appearance, in the eyes of outsiders, will mistakenly think that Dong Zhuo forced the emperor to do this, and the crime of disrupting the sky can also be inflicted on Dong Zhuo. It's really a plan to kill three birds with one stone, if it weren't for knowing that Liu Xie himself is a demon, Ma Chao really thought that Liu Xie had a master behind him.
After standing still, Ma Chao glanced at Dong Zhuo, and saw that Dong Zhuo's face was very calm. It's just that there was a fierce light flashing in those eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at it.
Ma Chao was a little apprehensive in his heart, but then he relaxed: I'm afraid of a bird! Wu Fu is dead, even if Dong Zhuo knows that Xun You is indeed involved in the plan to murder him? Without sufficient evidence, his investigation simply could not go deeper. Even if he disobeys Dong Zhuo's face, what can he do? It's not the first time!
"Yesterday, Taishi observed the number of qi, the Emperor Star of the Great Han Dynasty was dim, and the auxiliary star fell to the west, this aspect is to say that a minister of the Great Han Dynasty will die......" Dong Zhuo sat on the side of the dragon chair, glanced at the military officials below, and said.
At the time of the Han Dynasty. People are very superstitious, believing that some major events in the court are the will of God, and these wills can be inferred through various celestial phenomena. Among them, the most famous is the "Five Elements Replacement Theory" deduced by Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian scholar during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, based on the Five Elements Bagua. The Han Dynasty's "Xue Wei Zhixue" was formed, which had a great influence at that time. So. Dong Zhuo said these things on the first day of acting as the government, which is normal at this time.
Ma Chao listened to Dong Zhuo say this, his mind turned, and he began to speculate about Dong Zhuo's mentality at this time: I don't know if Dong Fatzi is sitting in that high place at this time, experiencing the charm of his words, I don't know if there is any ambition to replace it?
He knew that power was a good thing. Countless wise and capable people are obsessed with this......
However, today Dong Zhuo did not say anything about Wu Fu's assassination, nor did he say anything about dealing with the crimes of Huang Wan, Zheng Tai and others. Why do you want to engage in this feudal superstition alone? Ma Chao scratched his head unnaturally, and really couldn't figure out what Dong Zhuo came up with: "Could it be that this thing already knows that his life is short, and he is going to reform his life from now on, and he will be happy with his life?" ’
Without waiting for Ma Chao to figure it out, Dong Zhuo continued to take care of himself: "A certain family didn't believe in this number of days, but His Majesty was seriously ill yesterday. A family was also assassinated. It is really in line with this astrological theory, originally, a certain family thought that the auxiliary star in this celestial phenomenon alluded to the old man, but he didn't want to, today after receiving a secret letter in the mansion. Only then did I know that this was a celestial warning......"
Hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly came to his senses: I'll wipe Dong Zhuo, your uncle!
In history, there is indeed such a period of time, Dong Zhuo wanted to kill a minister because he committed a little superstition, so when the hundred officials of the imperial court were meeting, he suddenly said that Zhang Wen and Yuan Shu conspired to rebel, and ordered Lu Bu to find out Zhang Wen and behead him, and then took out a secret letter, saying that this secret letter of rebellion was mistakenly thrown into Lu Bu's mansion. Of course, everyone suspects that this is Dong Zhuo's excuse for planting and killing, and this excuse is very inferior, but the question is, apart from the fact that the civil and military officials dare not speak out, what else can they do?
Today, isn't this episode going to be staged?
Sure enough, when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a person standing in the main hall. Lu Bu Taiyue stood upright, holding Fang Tian's halberd: This thing actually went to the palace with a blade today, which is not in line with the rules of the monarch and the minister at all!
Ma Chao didn't have the heart to consider this rule at all at this time, after all, the matter of the monarch's etiquette system has been a joke since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. His attention at this time was already attracted by Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd—in fact, this was also the first time Ma Chao had carefully observed Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd—it was a huge silver heavy halberd, with a handle nearly half as long as an ordinary halberd, and the mouth of the bowl was thick. The most strange thing about the blade of the halberd head is that each wing of the ordinary halberd blade has a crescent-shaped branch, while the crescent-shaped branch of this halberd has only one side.
There was an awe-inspiring movement in his heart: no wonder Lu Bu's martial arts were so weird and difficult, although his single moon blade halberd was difficult to wield, and because the weight of the blade was uneven, it must be extremely difficult to use. But it is also because of this that if this Fang Tian Painting Halberd falls into the hands of a person like Lu Bu who is extremely confident and has extremely high martial arts, he can turn decay into magic, skillfully use the half moon of the halberd to slash, use the tip of the halberd to stab, and use the blade to chop...... All kinds of killing moves of the blade, Lu Bu can use Fang Tian's painting halberd to achieve it!
And at this moment, Lu Bu's yellow-brown pupils, which were deeply embedded in the sockets, flashed like a blade. He began to walk step by step so casually, bringing a crazy and tyrannical murderous aura to the air, as if the air around him was gradually solidifying, wrapping everyone in the hall tightly and almost suffocating!
Ma Chao already knew what Lu Bu was going to do next, but he was cold. After all, before he figured out Dong Zhuo's secret allusion, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Zhang Wen is a commonplace in the court, although he has the experience of leading troops to quell the rebellion, but his own force is not high. At this moment, after being shocked by Lu Bu's murderous aura, he didn't even dare to move, and could only watch Lu Bu walk towards him step by step. Suddenly, Lu Bu picked up Zhang Wen and took him to the center of the hall like a child, and without saying a word, he backhanded a halberd, and actually threw Zhang Wen's head away!
Ma Chao still looked at all this coldly, compared to those who were frightened, his mind was extremely calm. At this time, he noticed that Zhang Wen's head, impartial, was flying in his direction!
Between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao reached out and grabbed Zhang Wen's hair, and lifted Zhang Wen's head in his hand! He asked Lu Bu in a cold voice: "General Lu, don't you want to give this great head to your subordinates?!" ”
Ma Chao clearly saw the frightened and unwilling look on Zhang Wen's face at this time! The warm blood that flowed out of the bubbling out drip on the red carpet of the Deyang Palace, as if it was accompanied by the resentment against the Han River, and flowed to the ground together......
It was only at this time that three feet of hot blood suddenly erupted from between Zhang Wen's neck, and his headless body fell to the ground. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent and trembling. And some timid people actually sat down on the ground......
But even so, the scholars still didn't make a sound, all of them were like ducks pinched by the neck, opening their mouths, shouting, only silent fear!
And at this moment, Ma Chao's eyes were filled with the splash of blood: he finally understood the meaning of what Dong Zhuo did today!
