The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 209 Liu Xie ascends the throne
Dong Zhuo has been a little swollen lately.

This expansion is both psychological and physical at the same time.

After killing Ding Yuan and annexing the Bingzhou Army, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to incorporate the trilogy that originally belonged to He Jin and He Miao. .

The foreign relatives and the eunuch fought over each other, and unfortunately both died, but in the end they all took advantage of Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, with the help of Li Ru, has gone through a series of changes in Luoyang, and has become a monster-level existence.

Before entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo had more than 3 Xiliang iron cavalry under his command. After entering Beijing, he annexed nearly 5000 Bingzhou Frontier Army from Dingyuan, and later incorporated He Jin's [-] Yulin Army and [-] Xiyuan Army. Chariot General He Miao has nearly [-] people under his command, as well as thousands of guards in charge of the imperial palace.

So far, Dong Zhuo's army has reached [-] people, which is enough to move mountains and fill seas, and throw whips to stop the flow.

And the most important thing is that these 10 people are the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty today, and each of them is a division of hundreds of battles who have fought and put down the chaos since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

All the painstaking efforts of the predecessors have turned into Dong Zhuo's pocket at this moment.

In terms of military strength, Dong Zhuo's strength has skyrocketed.In terms of politics, Lao Dong is also unequivocal.

Dong Zhuo had just entered Beijing, and his foothold was not stable, so he began to recruit scholars and powerful families in order to get their help.

For this reason, he lifted the ban on the party more thoroughly.

As early as Liu Hong's period, party members were imprisoned and not allowed to be officials.This ban was later lifted due to the Yellow Turban Uprising, but Liu Hong's attitude towards party members has not changed.

But Dong Zhuo was different. He promoted and selected talents, specially promoted party members, and even sent people to honor the general Dou Wu who failed in the last round of fighting with eunuchs, pardoned the entire Dou family, and promoted his descendants.

This move is tantamount to a thousand pieces of gold, so Dong Zhuo was highly praised by the world's elite, and they were all willing to cooperate with him.

Dong Zhuo, who was recognized, thought he had chosen the right path, so he made a bolder move, that is, let go of the yamen previously controlled by eunuchs, and appointed children from aristocratic families to serve in the yamen.

This time, the family members were even more moved, and they all went online to praise Dong Zhuo.

Mr. Dong is so benevolent, he is really the savior of the Han Dynasty!

But to the surprise of this group of elites, after Mr. Dong's series of operations, a large meeting was held, and the content of the meeting was only one, that is...

Abandon the emperor!

This issue is really big, and it has caused the powerful and powerful people, the public and the officials to bear it for a while.

This Xiliang man is so courageous, he dares to make false statements!

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to express their opinions, but all remained silent.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Dong, in their mouths, changed from a savior of a big man to an ordinary man of Xiliang.

But in the eyes of all officials, behind Dong Zhuo is the Yuan family's Tai Fu Yuan Kui.If he hadn't discussed it with Yuan Kai in advance, Dong Zhuo would never bring this matter up for public discussion in the court.

In fact, Dong Zhuo had indeed discussed with Yuan Wei, but it was Yuan Shao who he found first.

Three days ago, Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet in honor of Yuan Shao in Xianyang Garden, and Cao Cao also attended the banquet.

During the meeting, Dong Zhuo raised the matter of abolishing the establishment and asked Yuan Shao for his opinion.

His reason is very simple, today's son is weak, and now is a turbulent world, the emperor is not enough to support the society, it is better to establish a new king.

As for the candidate for the new monarch, of course it is Chen Liu Wang Liu Xie.

After all, Liu Hong has only two sons, and he has no other choice.

Of course, Dong Zhuo also has selfish intentions.

When he was in Beimang, Liu Bian would only cry when he went up to pay homage to the emperor, but the eight-year-old Liu Xie responded fluently, which made Dong Zhuo very fond of him.

Furthermore, Liu Xie was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong alone, and Dong Zhuo thought that he was closer to Empress Dowager Dong with the same surname, so he hoped that Liu Xie would be in power.

All in all, Dong Zhuo hopes to improve his reputation by abolishing the emperor, and Liu Xie is naturally the best choice.

After listening to Dong Zhuo's proposal, Yuan Shao immediately objected.

He told Dong Zhuo that since ancient times, he has never heard of a loyal and good official daring to make false statements and abolish the establishment, and I am afraid that all the officials in the court will not agree.Furthermore, Yuan Kai, as the Grand Tutor, also has the right to assist the government, and his status is still higher than that of Dong Zhuo. I have to ask for instructions before deciding.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was furious!
These days are too smooth, which makes Dong Zhuo more and more reluctant to listen to other people's different opinions.

He slapped the table, pulled out his sword, pointed at Yuan Shao and said in a loud voice, "Zhuzi! Everything in the world depends on me. I will do it now. Who dares not to obey me! You deceive me that the sword is not good for you!"

But at this time Yuan Shao was very upset.

He was busy in and out for several months, and finally he was suppressed by his uncle Yuan Kai, and all the benefits were taken advantage of by Dong Zhuo, so how could he be reconciled.

Seeing this speculative, fat man rising to power dared to threaten him with a knife, Yuan Shao also broke out.

He drew out the sword around his waist, pointed at Dong Zhuo and said with a sneer, "Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not bad! Dong Zhongying is the only one who is strong in the world!"

The two confronted each other with swords, and the situation became tense in an instant.

Cao Cao on the side didn't express anything, just sat there looking at his nose and heart, without squinting.

Although Dong Zhuo was brave, he was old after all. Facing Yuan Shao, who was in his prime, he couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty, and Cao Cao was still watching him covetously.

He wanted to call for someone to take Yuan Shao down, but the distance between the two of them was too close at this moment, and he was afraid that Yuan Shao would have already been murdered before anyone arrived, so he could only say nothing.

Alas, I didn't expect Yuan Benchu ​​to be so staunch, Caimou was a little impulsive just now!
Dong Zhuo sighed in his heart.

Looking at Yuan Shao again, seeing Dong Zhuo staring at him, he regretted his impulsiveness just now.

This is in Xianyang Garden, there are Dong Zhongying's people outside the door, it is indeed a bit hasty to draw the sword just now.

The two looked at each other for a moment, finally Yuan Shao saw that Dong Zhuo did not move, he resolutely followed his heart, put his sword back into its sheath, reluctantly bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo, turned around and strode away.

One party negotiated, and in the end the two parties broke up unhappy.

Cao Cao looked at it, bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo, and followed Yuan Shao to leave.

"Shuzi, Shuzi!"

When Yuan Shao walked out of the gate, Dong Zhuo immediately yelled angrily.

However, Yuan Shao's words reminded him that he had just entered Luoyang, and if he wanted to abolish the emperor, he might have to consult Yuan Kui's opinion.

So the next day, Dong Zhuo visited and told Yuan Wei his thoughts.

Yuan Kai agreed without hesitation, and said that he would secretly assist Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Kui also wanted to take the opportunity to control the overall situation, so he simply asked Dong Zhuochong to attract firepower in front, so that he could secretly take advantage of it.

With Yuan Kai's support, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed immediately, and dared to discuss the matter openly in court.

Taking Huo Guang as an example, he clarified the legitimacy of abolishing the emperor, and at the same time consulted the opinions of all officials.

To put it simply, after I have finished speaking, whoever agrees and whoever opposes!

There was a deathly silence in the hall, no one objected, but no one agreed either.

All the officials were afraid of Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife, but they were also afraid of the stigma that would last forever, so they simply kept silent.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help sneering, feeling a little contemptuous of these noble families.

What a family that has been passed down for a hundred years is nothing but a group of cowardly villains.Somebody just threatened them, and these guys didn't dare to make a sound. If they really showed their sharp knives, they might pee their pants in fright.

Seeing that no one objected, Dong Zhuo was satisfied and said that it was decided.

But at this moment, someone jumped out and expressed his objection.

Dong Zhuo saw that the person who left the squad was his old boss, Shangshu Lu Zhi, when he was crusading against the Yellow Turbans.

Facing Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo bowed his hands even though he was Sikong.

"Lu Shangshu thinks it's wrong?"

Among the hundred officials, Dong Zhuo really admired few people, including Lu Zhi, so his words were quite polite.

But Lu Zhi didn't save him the slightest bit of face. He stood up and said solemnly: "In the past, Huo Guang's deeds and establishments were all because of the emperor's stupidity, which caused the sky to be angry and people resented. Huo Guangfang took advantage of the trend. But now he is rich in spring and autumn, and he has done nothing wrong. Virtue, and there is no God to warn against disasters, how can you say that it is abolished!"

Didn't you take Huo Guang as an example, then let me tell you about Huo Guang.

Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun, was too licentious and could not protect the country, so Huo Guangcai abolished him.

It can be seen that the emperor is not unable to abolish the establishment, but you have to prove that he is at fault.

But today's emperor Liu Bian is only fourteen years old, he is only a half-grown child, and he is not in charge of the government. What bad things can he do, there is no reason to abolish it!

Lu Zhi's words were so logical that Dong Zhuo was speechless.

Especially at the end, Lu Zhi sneered, and pointed to the essence of the problem in front of all the court officials: "Dong Sikong wants to abolish the establishment, whether it is for the community or a personal desire, it is still open to debate!"

This sentence can be said to be a heart-breaking sentence, and Dong Zhuo was so angry that he trembled all over.

He wanted to kill Lu Zhi, but because Lu Zhi was too famous and prestige, he didn't dare to do it rashly.

Dong Zhuo blushed, snorted coldly, and simply walked away.

The first meeting on abolishing the emperor was finally abandoned because of Lu Zhi's opposition.

Although Dong Zhuo was successfully refuted, Lu Zhi became more and more disheartened.

And after the meeting ended, all the officials stayed away from him, for fear of being implicated by him.

After everyone had dispersed, Lu Zhi turned around and looked at the empty court hall, with a smirk on his lips.

In the past, when the people were in power and prosperity, the great Han was so powerful that even if there was an occasional turmoil, it could be quickly extinguished.

Even if Beiman greeted him last time, loyal ministers like Cui Lie went with him.

But in less than two months, the upright Cui Lie was also dismissed by Yuan Wei and left home.

All the officials in the court hall are like wooden sculptures and clay sculptures. It is really chilling that they are silent on such a big event as the abolition of the emperor.

Poor Huang Huang has been a big man for four hundred years, but he has finally fallen to this point.

Forget it, forget it, I can't control it anymore.

Since the last time when He Jin killed the eunuch, Lu Zhi already had the intention of resigning from office and returning to his hometown.

After going to court, Lu Zhi was like a walking corpse, and he walked for a long time before returning home.

On the second day, Lu Zhi resigned from office on the grounds of old age.

Dong Zhuo had already planned to dismiss Lu Zhi's official position. Seeing that Lu Zhi was so knowledgeable, there was no reason to disagree. He immediately approved it. At the same time, he also rewarded Lu Zhi with some money to encourage him for his contributions to the court over the years.

Lu Zhijian refused to accept Dong Zhuo's reward.

In the first year of Guangxi, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Lu Zhi took an old servant and left Luoyang in a carriage. At the same time, he also abandoned the imperial society that he had fought for all his life...

Two days later, Dong Zhuo held another meeting to abolish and establish the emperor.

Although Lu Zhi was gone, Dong Zhuo was still worried, so he found a suitable excuse for this.

He told the officials that when the late emperor was in power in the past, he wanted to establish Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the crown prince many times, and he abolished him this time to follow the late emperor's edict.

Furthermore, after Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager He poisoned the late Emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Dong, which was considered unfilial.Then she and Liu Bian, who was born to her, should abdicate, and Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, who was born by the first emperor's side concubine and raised by Empress Dowager Dong, should ascend the throne.

This time, no one dared to object.

In the first year of Guangxi, the 27rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Grand Tutor Yuan Kai helped Liu Bian down from the throne, and handed over the jade seal and ribbon to Liu Xie.

Then Liu Xie sat on the throne with the support of Dong Zhuo, and all the officials paid respects.

So far, Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, has become a new generation of Han emperor.

Dong Zhuo issued an edict, because Liu Bian had not been in power for more than one year, so he took back Guangxi's year name and renamed it Zhongping five years.

Then he impeached Empress Dowager He in public, ordered people to read out the crime of Empress Dowager He for killing Empress Dowager Dong, removed her from the position of Empress Dowager, and moved her to Yong'an Palace.

Two days later, Empress Dowager He was poisoned to death.

Dong Zhuo ordered that no funeral be held for him, and only all officials were allowed to wear white clothes for three days as a memorial service.

The next day, Dong Zhuo was changed from Sikong to Taiwei, and he and Yuan Kai were in charge of important affairs of the court.

When the news reached Xuzhou, it was already the third day of the first month of the following year.

On that day, Mi Zhu sent his sister and a large amount of dowry to Tan County, and asked Liu Bei to accept it with a smile.

Liu Bei looked at the truckloads of money being transported to his house, and his face became a chrysanthemum with a smile!
As for the Mi family, he became the real Raotou.

Immediately afterwards, it entered the eating session.

When everyone was drinking happily, they suddenly received a report.

Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and poisoned the queen mother.

Snapped!
Hearing this news, the smile on Liu Bei's face froze instantly, and the wine glass held in mid-air fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
