Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 286: A Shocking Change in the Court

()0-06-

After these few years, Yuan Shu has also grown up gradually, separated from the dandy boy back then, and gradually showed corresponding abilities, which was appreciated by Yuan Kui, otherwise he would not have achieved the position of Hu Ben Zhong Lang. The Yuan family's foundation in Runan was quite strong, and it was definitely a leader in terms of prestige and power. Sending Yuan Shu there also showed Yuan Kui's trust in Yuan Shu.

All the forces in the capital were shocked when they heard that Dong Zhuo besieged the General's Mansion, killed He Miao, and took over the military power of the northern and southern armies. Most of them still couldn't believe it. Soldiers besieged the mansion and died.

After hearing the news, many officials rushed to the palace overnight. In front of the emperor, they said a lot about Dong Zhuo.

The influence of Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang City is deeply rooted. Dong Zhuo's actions were passed on to Jia Rong at the first time. According to the original agreement, Dong Zhuo was in charge of the military power in He Miao's hands, and Jia Rong was in charge of the West Garden. Unexpectedly, it was only a few days before they separated. In an hour, Dong Zhuo finished He Miao, and Jia Rong was shocked by such a speed that he was speechless.

With the soldiers under He Miao, Dong Zhuo's strength has increased. Will he treat his ally as politely as before? Dong Zhuo is not a short-sighted person, and he will not confront him in a short period of time. The most important thing is to balance Luo Yang's family and control Chao Gang.

Jia Rong secretly worried that since then, Dong Zhuo's military strength has been far greater than his own. Dong Zhuo had gathered about 3000 troops before, and now he has more than 7000 troops, reaching 5000 troops. In contrast, the Xiliang Army only has 5000 troops. People, will Dong Zhuo put himself on the same level? This is worth checking, but Jia Rong has great confidence in the [-] men under his command. .

After instructing Su Shuang to pay close attention to the movement of the family in the city, Jia Rong continued to sort out the news brought by Xianlian Pavilion. Since he came to the capital, Jia Xu still sorted out the news from all over the place, and Jia Rong was Luo who was closest to him. Yang changes.

The next day, just as Emperor Han took his seat, a group of civil servants and military generals headed by Yuan Kai stepped forward to accuse Dong Zhuo of leading an army to surround the General's Mansion last night. Go out, where is the face and dignity of the royal family.

Emperor Han was young, and he had no opinion. He hadn't heard anything for a long time. Dong Zhuo's power in his heart was so strong that he didn't dare to look Dong Zhuo directly. many times.

Many courtiers started pointing at Dong Zhuo's nose and yelling, especially Yang Biao and other Confucian scholars, who scolded Dong Zhuo to the brim. Powerful, it was an eye-opener.

Dong Zhuo never said a word, he knew that ten heads would be beheaded for such a crime.

"Bring it up!" Dong Zhuo's angry voice made the body of Emperor Han who was on top tremble.

A soldier came in with a sandalwood box carefully, and presented it to Dong Zhuo.

Lu Zhi stepped forward and shouted: "Where did the soldiers come from, they broke into the court openly, left and right, and they didn't pull him down and beat him to death with sticks."

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Lu Zhonglang doesn't need to be so concerned, this soldier is my subordinate, how could he take orders from you, it's the box first."

After saying that, regardless of the stunned people around, he slowly opened the sandalwood box.

Clearing the things in the box, all the officials gasped. Although they learned the news of He Miao's death last night, it was another matter to see it with their own eyes. The fear of Dong Zhuo rose again. Who dares to offend anyone who dares to besiege.

Shaking He Miao's head to the ground with his hands, Dong Zhuo shouted: "He Miao colluded with the eunuchs and caused the death of the General, the infantry captain Wu Kuang led the army to kill him to avenge the General and comfort the General's spirit in heaven. "

Naturally, Dong Zhuo would not admit that he led the army to surround the General's Mansion. Even if He Miao was guilty, he would not admit that Wu Kuang became the best scapegoat.

Receiving Dong Zhuo's signal, Wu Kuang walked in accompanied by two soldiers.

"Wu Kuang, please tell me the cause and effect of the matter." Dong Zhuo said indifferently as his eyes swept across Wu Kuang.

Wu Kuang was startled, and said: "That night the traitor He Miao entertained the generals in the army, and after getting drunk, he made a slip of the tongue and told about his affair with the eunuch, and even spoke bad things about the general. The Miao Mansion inquired many ways, and finally found out the whole story."

Wu Kuang told all about how He Miao liaised with the eunuch, how much money he promised, how to dispose of it afterwards, etc., and what he said was lifelike, making everyone feel that he was by his side. As for the truth and falsehood, Wu Kuang insisted on what he said It is true, no matter how the officials ask questions.

Yuan Kai said to the crowd: "It's nonsense, a small general in the army, who eats the king's salary, doesn't know how to share his worries, and dares to openly besiege the general's mansion. For such crimes, killing the nine clans is already a light punishment. You say Come on, who are your accomplices, if you dare to hide it, be careful of Shengshang Tianwei."

Wu Kuang's expression froze, and he took a sneak look at the Han Emperor above him. The architecture of the entire palace was very particular, and the superior Han Emperor gave people a faint sense of oppression.

Before coming here, when Dong Zhuo asked him to go to the court, he said that he would be rewarded by the emperor. Unexpectedly, Yuan Kai's words sent him from heaven to hell and besieged the courtier's mansion. Such a crime is not something Wu Kuang can bear of.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Dong Zhuo went to Yuan Kai's side and said, "Teacher's words are wrong. What is meant by killing the nine clans is trivial. From my point of view, Wu Kuang is not only innocent, but has merit. He Miao killed the general." It’s a huge crime, do the generals in the army have to be punished if they don’t go there? Do you think that the eunuch deserved the crime for murdering the general?”

Wu Kuang has long been in disbelief, and when he saw Dong Zhuo stand up to speak for him, he even claimed yes.

Yuan Kai sized up Dong Zhuo carefully, then turned to the direction of the palace gate, walked to the front of the officials with a cold snort, and said: "Your Majesty, it is a heinous crime for the captain of the infantry to besiege the General's Mansion without authorization, and I request the emperor to issue an order to kill his nine clans." , otherwise, why would the people of the world feel the majesty of Heaven."

The emperor touched the dragon robe and ordered decisively: "Quick play!"

Wu Kuang's face was ashen, he suddenly grabbed Dong Zhuo and shouted: "Didn't you say that the Holy Majesty would reward me? How could it be like this, how could it be like this."

Dong Zhuo glared at Wu Kuang impatiently. In this way, everyone knew that He Miao's death had a great relationship with him, and they didn't know how Wu Kuang, the infantry captain, was appointed. Yuan Kai was so frightened that no one even knew his last name.

"Come here, don't pull Wu Kuang down yet."

Two soldiers came in and dragged Wu Kuang out. Wu Kuang's face turned pale with fright, his lips trembled.

Sikong Liu Hong said: "Wu Kuang is just a small infantry captain. There must be an accomplice in such a big event as the siege of the general's mansion. I implore the Holy Majesty to approve a thorough investigation of this matter, and all accomplices will be killed."

"Quasi-play!" Emperor Han cooperated surprisingly.

The sternness in Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed away, and he also bowed and said: "He Miao colluded with the eunuchs to kill the general, and I ask the emperor to make it known to the world."

All the officials were in an uproar. If the Holy Majesty really ordered He Miao to collude with the eunuchs to murder the general, then the thorough investigation Liu Hong said would become meaningless. Who would complain about the death of a traitor? In this way, The people who were found to besiege the general's mansion turned out to be meritorious, and the punishment became a reward.

Liu Hong strolled up to Dong Zhuo and shouted sharply: "A small frontier general, openly pointing east and west in the court hall, does not pay attention to the Holy Majesty at all, and sends troops to encircle the Great General's mansion. Such a generation of disasters for the country and the people, I beg the Holy Spirit The upper and lower decrees punish him with death and kill his nine clans."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Dong Zhuo's mouth, and he said, "Master Sikong keeps saying that I am besieging the General's Mansion, but who can prove that Master Liu is in the third rank, and he doesn't want to contribute to the country, but instead framed the ministers of the court, what is his intention? If everyone behaves like Lord Liu, the country will be in misfortune."

Liu Hong is not very good at dealing with eloquence, but Dong Zhuo is still at his fingertips.

The effect of Dong Zhuo's words was still the officials' repeated scolding, and the upward voices were surprisingly unanimous, all pointing the finger at Dong Zhuo. The charges Dong Zhuo bore were discussed by the officials, and there were dozens of them. Each one is a mortal crime requiring beheading.

Emperor Han said: "Dong Zhuo, as a courtier, doesn't know how to be a minister, so he will be removed from his official position immediately, thinking of his meritorious service to the court, he will be allowed to return home when he is old." With these words, Emperor Han spent almost all his money. With courage, he leaned weakly on the chair.

When some ministers entered the palace last night, they repeatedly taught the young Emperor Han how to punish Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo heard this, not only did he not thank you, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "What a person who doesn't know how to be a minister, who would dare to punish me for my crimes."

Jia Rong immediately realized that something was wrong. Dong Zhuo besieged the General's Mansion. He was not surprised. He dared to say such a thing in court, even he would not dare. If this matter spread, Dong Zhuo would cut himself In the future, there will be no scholars who dare to serve under his account. The impact of such behavior is much more serious than Jia Rong's opposition to the aristocratic family.

Although the big man is showing signs of decline, a thin camel is always bigger than a horse. The majesty of the royal family has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Dong Zhuo will provoke him rashly, and he will get endless revenge in the end.

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he was greeted with scolding from all the ministers, and the words were more severe than before.

Suddenly, a group of armored men broke into the court hall, silenced the accusations of the crowd, and stared in astonishment at this group of soldiers who broke in openly without the call of the Holy Spirit. Dong Zhuo.
