Chapter 314

After removing the last stumbling block of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo completely let go of himself.First, Dong Zhuo forced Han Ting to appoint him as Sikong, and then in order to establish his own authority, he even came up with a move to abolish him.

And at this time, Yuan Shao started his performance, and finally managed to grab a little part of the scene in this chaos, and directly took the risk of slapping Dong Zhuo in Wen Mingyuan.

On that day, under the protection of Wu Wenhua and Lu Bu, two generals, at the banquet, Dong Zhuo said casually, "Now the emperor is weak, so he cannot inherit the throne from the ancestral temple. I want to follow the story of Yi Yin and Huo Guang." , abolished the emperor as King Hongnong, and made King Chenliu the emperor."

Who would have known that as soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, Yuan Shao stood up and said a moment later, "No! No! Who are you, dare to speak loudly? The Son of Heaven is the son of the first emperor, and he has never made any mistakes at the beginning. Arrogant talk and abolishment! Do you want to usurp?"

And when he heard Yuan Shao's objection, he became angry when he was determined to realize the act of abolishing the establishment, "I am the world's business! I am doing it now, who dares not to follow! Do you think my sword is not good?"

Yuan Shao also didn't know why, but in this situation, he still refused to give in, and forcefully drew his sword, "Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not bad!"

In anger, Dong Zhuo almost ordered Lv Bu to give Yuan Shao's son a halberd. Fortunately, Li Ru was concerned about the influence of Yuan's family, and found a reason to stop Dong Zhuo in time.Otherwise, Yuan Shao would be indifferent that time.

Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity and walked out of the courtyard without returning to his seat.

Seeing this, Lu Bu was about to stop him, but he saw Li Ru shaking his head and did not stop him. Therefore, Yuan Shao ignored the thousand light cavalry he had brought, and directly took his generals and counselors with him, and headed straight for the east gate, leaving Luoyang Ready to return to the Bohai Sea.

The current Yuan Shao's power has not yet developed, he is still in a relatively wise state, and he still has a bit of courage.

Therefore, at the banquet, when Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the establishment, Cui Hao immediately realized that this was an opportunity for Yuan Shao to improve his reputation, although the process of seizing this opportunity may be a bit risky.

However, after Cui Hao put forward his own suggestion, Yuan Shao still accepted the suggestion after a moment of struggle.Therefore, this was the scene where he toughened Dong Zhuo just now.

After Yuan Shao left, no one dared to have any objections to Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the establishment.Therefore, Dong Zhuo did not take much effort to coerce Empress Dowager He and the courtiers to abolish Emperor Shao, and made King Chenliu emperor, in order to dedicate himself to the emperor.

On the day when the establishment was abolished, all the ministers were mournful and terrified, but no one dared to speak out. In order to prevent any accidents, Dong Zhuo directly ordered people to poison the Empress Dowager He, the young emperor Liu Bian, and Hongnong Princess Tang Ji.

Since the abolition of Li, Dong Zhuo's power has completely reached its peak.Moreover, through Dong Zhuo's replacement and handling of the highest-level personnel in the central government, the entire Eastern Han government was almost completely controlled by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo had the final say on the abolition of the emperor, the appointment and dismissal of courtiers, and the formulation of major policies.At this time, Dong Zhuo, whose ambition was extremely inflated, was already defiant.

After changing to Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo promoted himself to Taiwei and became one of the three princes, in charge of the country's military affairs and former general affairs.Although Dong Zhuo is known as the prime minister of the country who is "under one man and above ten thousand people", he actually far surpasses the emperor and enjoys the privileges of "praising without being famous, entering the court without tending, and walking on the palace with swords".

Moreover, after he became an official and a noble, Dong Zhuo also used his privileges to arbitrarily confer titles on members of the Dong family.He first named his mother Chi Yangjun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, whose status was equivalent to that of a royal princess.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as General Zuo, named Yuhou, and also named his young granddaughter Weiyangjun.What's more, "Zhuo's concubines hold neutrons in their arms, and they are all made marquises, and they are given gold and purple."

Relying on the power of his military power, Dong Zhuo indulged his soldiers in plundering wealthy households, looting property, and raping women in Luoyang city.

However, Dong Zhuo was close to Zhou Yan and Wu Qiong, and He Yong and Zheng Tai, former officials of the General's Mansion, also became his staff. Dong Zhuo, on the advice of his staff, got close to scholars and recruited famous scholars to serve as officials in the court, such as Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji and others were all recruited by him.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo selected a large number of famous people to serve as important positions such as local prefects, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ni, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao, etc. Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others conferred high officials as a sign of reconciliation.

This is because Dong Zhuo was just a powerful warrior who was not respected by the gentry, but he was eager to be respected by the gentry.Therefore, after he took control of the government, he instead began to curry favor with these gentry and appoint officials for them.

It's a pity that instead of accepting Dong Zhuo's "good intentions", these people wrote an article, published it publicly, and angrily reprimanded Dong Zhuo.

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo immediately became angry.After that, Dong Zhuo played with power wantonly, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and eradicated many courtiers including Zhang Wen.But he was drunk every night in the palace, and the concubines of the first emperor Liu Hong took turns to sleep.Under the anger and resentment of the heaven and the people, Wu Fu and other loyal ministers wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but they failed in the end.

But under Dong Zhuo's perverse actions, a turning point soon appeared.

At the end of the sixth year of Zhongping, no one knew that Cao Cao, who had been the prefect of Chenliu for many years, quietly went to pick up Yuan Shao who had escaped from Luoyang.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao claimed that when he left Luoyang, His Majesty the Emperor secretly sent him an imperial edict.At the same time, this edict was sent by Yuan Shao to various places, calling on heroes from all walks of life to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, who usurped the power of the imperial court and acted mischievously.

As a result, the vigorous campaign of princes to discuss Dong is finally about to begin.

It doesn't matter whether it's for profit, for a wave of prestige, or for a real loyal minister.In short, as soon as the Discussion Board Alliance was announced to be established, followers immediately gathered.

Cao Cao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Yuan Shu, who was in the family of the fourth generation and the third prince with Yuan Shao, responded first, and each prepared to lead their elite troops to the Suanzao Huimeng.

After that, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, Han Fu, Kong Ni, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Ma Teng and other princes raised their troops one after another. response.

Just when the world thought that the Kwantung Allied Forces had been finalized, there was another heavy news from Bingzhou that General Li Xiang, Marquis of Jinyang, led troops from Bingzhou and Hanoi, and they were coming towards Suanzao.

With the news of Li Xiang's first dispatch of troops, the morale of the Dong Dong League was greatly boosted. After all, although Li Xiang is still young, he has just won the championship, but those past achievements are not a joke.
