Chapter 39: The Burning of Luoyang (End)

Dong Zhuo's words can be described as a thunderclap, all the ministers present were shocked by Dong Zhuo's words, a minister got up from his position, stood up and bowed: "Prime Minister, since I went to Guangwu Zhongxing until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, more than 200 years of disputes and the Yellow Turban Rebellion have already turned Chang'an into a broken wall. ”

Dong Zhuo, who heard this, snorted directly, and said angrily: "What kind of national plan do you know, moving the capital to Chang'an is the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, it is a century-old plan, Luoyang is dark, Chang'an is bright, and moving the capital to Chang'an is to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light!" ”

Dong Zhuo seems to want to move the capital to Chang'an like an iron heart, the children of the family in the court don't do it, Luoyang is the basis of their family, if the capital is moved to Chang'an, then it will be a big reshuffle for all their families.

Therefore, no matter how much he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's obscenity in his heart, for the sake of interests, one of the ministers from a family still had to stand up and say: "Prime Minister Qiqi, Luoyang, the capital is the lifeblood of the imperial court, if you leave the temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum for no reason, it will cause chaos in the imperial court and the people will be in trouble. ”

& Be cautious? ”

Dong Zhuo read it playfully, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong with our family, ah!" That Chang'an has the danger of Hangu, Wu, Tong three passes, the blessing of Longshan, the wood bricks and tiles used to build the palace, it is at your fingertips, our family can build a palace within half a month, that is much >more comfortable than Changle Palace

Looking at Dong Zhuo, who was smiling but with a terrifying killing intent in his eyes, this minister who relied on the power of the family to ascend to the throne, after being carried away by interests and his blood surging at the beginning, he was speechless under the fear in his heart at this time.

Looking at the minister who had retreated like earth, Dong Zhuo laughed a few times and said: "After the palace was completed, our family decided to name it Wanle Palace, Wanle Palace, hahahaha・・・・・・"

As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, driven by interests, there will always be someone who will forget a qiē, at this time another minister got up and left his seat, knelt in the center of the Chongde Hall, and said to Dong Zhuo above: "Prime Minister, you suddenly moved the capital, how to raise cars and horses, how to settle hundreds of officials, how to deal with the people at dawn, Prime Minister." ”

Dong Zhuo pointed at him when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Our family has chariots and soldiers, and the hundred officials will be over when they sit on it, as for those small people in the city, they are as cheap as grass mustard, they love death and life, and our family can't manage so much, let him go, let him go >."

After asking each other three times in a row, Dong Zhuo's answer was to move the capital to Chang'an, and all the officials who were members of the family were anxious, so they got up and left their seats, came to the center of the Chongde Hall and knelt down and said: "Prime Minister, Luoyang is the imperial capital of my Han Dynasty for 200 years, and you must not abandon it." ”

& Phase, the sudden relocation of the capital will make the dynasty chaotic, this must not be, absolutely not! ”

& Phase, once I abandon Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, and move the capital to Chang'an, the foundation of my Han Dynasty for 400 years will be destroyed in one fell swoop, Prime Minister! ”

Looking at the many ministers who kept kowtowing below, so that the entire Chongde Hall was full of banging sounds, Dong Zhuo pointed at them and said angrily: "Presumptuous! What do you know, only by moving the capital to Chang'an, my Han can prosper, and moving the capital to Chang'an is the will of heaven, the will of heaven cannot be violated, anyone who continues to say more, obstructing the relocation of the capital, will be fornicating with Yuan Shao, obstructing my plan, plotting against the wrong, our family will definitely cut off his head, you all listen to our family, our family has always been vigorous and resolute, moving the capital at this time, anyone who is unwilling to move west, will be guilty of rebellion! ”

After the words expressed naked and naked with this threat, Dong Zhuo even pretended to be humble and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good opinions, I'm listening here, say, is there any!" ”

After being frightened by Dong Zhuo's repeated beatings, the "loyal" ministers, who were not very courageous, bowed their heads and whispered: "The ministers obey the order." ”

After subduing the courtiers, the rampant meaning on Dong Zhuo's face became more and more obvious, and he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, good, good, come, wait for the Son of Heaven to start!" ”

After the order to move the capital to Chang'an was completely issued, Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, fell into plunder and killing, a group of Xiliang soldiers wearing armor and wearing swords around their waists, holding torches, ran through the streets and alleys of Luoyang, shouting: "Xiangguo ordered that the palace, the temple, the imperial tomb, and the pavilion should all be burned, and no thieves should be left!" ”

Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, the Han capital Luoyang was burned to ashes for two hundred years, the wealthy gentry did not enter the official household, the tomb of the emperor of the temple was excavated, and the fire in Luoyang dyed the entire night sky into a fiery red color, and the fire that rushed to the sky could be clearly seen even if it was hundreds of miles away.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the princes' allied army camp, even though the princes from all walks of life at this time did not receive the news from Luoyang, but looking at the fire in the direction of Luoyang, every prince had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Outside the big tent of the coalition forces, Cao Cao looked at the firelight in the direction of Luoyang, a light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "From now on, it will be the era of princes competing for hegemony, competing for the world, hehe." ”

Cao Cao, who laughed inexplicably in his heart, had a solemn expression on his face, full of anger, anxiety, etc., opened the big tent, and stepped into it, as expected, all the princes had gathered here.

Seeing Cao Cao coming in, Yuan Shao got up, pointed his hand to the left and said, "Meng De, you are here, quickly, sit down." ”

& Lord, rank general, Cao is late, atonement. ”

After holding his fists and confessing his sins to Yuan Shao and the other princes, he walked in front of Yuan Shao, did not sit down, and said with a look of anger and anxiety: "Alliance leader, such a sky-high fire came from the direction of Luoyang, which can prove that this must not be a small fire, according to Cao, there is a ** out of ten, maybe it is Dong Zhuo who burned Luoyang, if so, this is a good time to pursue Dong Zhuo!" ”

After Yuan Shao heard Cao Cao's words, his smile froze, and he sat down slowly, Cisco hesitated for a moment and said: "Pursuing in the starry night is a taboo for soldiers, and the fire in the direction of Luoyang may not be Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, in my opinion, Dong Zhuo is not so frenzied, maybe this is Dong Zhuo's trick, inducing our army to pursue in the starry night, setting up an ambush halfway, and defeating us." ”

What you want is your words, otherwise, how can you make other princes hesitate, and how can you show that I Cao Cao is stronger than you, Yuan Shao's voice fell, and Cao Cao, who was smiling secretly, flashed such a sentence in his heart.
