The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Dong Zhuo has always acted decisively, he doesn't like to procrastinate, and he has the style of a soldier.So when he forced Yuan Kai to agree to this request, he started further actions.Starting from this night, the entire Luoyang City has entered a state of martial law, in case someone makes any troubles at this juncture, which will change things.

At the same time, at the court meeting, after the emperor and the ministers were seated, Dong Zhuo signaled with his eyes, and Yuan Kai proposed to abolish the emperor and establish a new one.Yuan Kai, who is the Taifu, showed embarrassment, but he also knew that since the matter had come to this point, there was no need to look forward and backward, so before the ministers said anything, he got up and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Yuan Kui has a play."

After being allowed by the emperor, Yuan Kai took out the memorial he had prepared all night, and then began to present the matter of abolishing the establishment, bluntly saying that the emperor has no virtue, which caused the disaster of Luoyang city, the displacement of the people, and the difficulty of all officials. A series of questions such as his position and so on, finally came to a conclusion, which is to ask the emperor to abdicate and let the virtuous and talented take the throne.

When Yuan Kai read this inscription, his eyes secretly looked at the officials around him from time to time to see how they reacted.But to his surprise, none of these people's faces showed any anger at all, just a piece of numbness, as if they had expected such a day long ago.If there is a reaction, it is also a little surprised that the initiator is Yuan Wei.

You must know that just a few days ago, when Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the emperor and establish another, Yuan Kai was the courtier who opposed the most fiercely.Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Yuan Kai's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change, which makes it difficult for many people to accept.However, when they thought about the evil that the Yuan family had done recently, everyone was relieved. All of this was instigated by Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Wei was just a puppet.

After finally reading the watch in his hand, Yuan Kai looked at the emperor Liu Bian: "Please also take your Majesty's attention to the world and the people's lives, and abdicate to let the virtuous! I think Chen Liuwang Liu Xie is talented and talented, and he is the late emperor. It is a suitable candidate for the Son of Heaven, and I ask Your Majesty to abdicate as King Chen Liu."

At this time, the hall was very quiet, everyone was staring at the little emperor, they were all waiting for the emperor to express his opinion.But at this time, the young emperor in his teens was completely taken aback. He just looked at Yuan Kai with terrified eyes, without showing any sign.Although he is still young, he also knows what his position represents, and what kind of treatment he will receive once he is abolished, so at this moment, fear completely occupied his body and mind, making him completely speechless coming.

Dong Zhuo sat there, seeing that everyone was silent, but he felt a little impatient in his heart.At this point in the matter, he believed that no one would dare to contradict him anymore, so it would be meaningless to procrastinate, so he said, "What do you guys think of Yuan Taifu's performance? Is it true that the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new emperor are not the same as my big man?" What benefits does the imperial court have?"

Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, everyone suddenly realized that the matter was almost a foregone conclusion and could not be changed no matter what.The most important thing now is to obey Dong Zhuo's wishes, and then think about other things.So immediately an official stood up and responded: "Teacher Yuan is very worried. The emperor should be a virtuous and capable person to take on the role. Please also take the world into consideration, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please take the world into consideration..." Soon, dozens of courtiers stood up and bowed down to the emperor.Only a dozen or so strong-minded people did not stand up and agree with this matter with a cold face, after all, they could not do such a rebellious act.However, at this time, they did not dare to stand up and speak for the emperor, because some of the problems mentioned in Yuan Kai's memorial are real. It happened after the Son of Heaven took office. If he really wants to be held accountable, his responsibility cannot be said to be insignificant.

However, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, their refusal to express their views was already a kind of opposition, which made him harbor hatred in his heart. It's just that the abolition of the establishment should be the priority now, and it's not easy to move them for the time being.

The young emperor looked at the officials and asked him to abdicate at the same time, his face turned completely pale, he didn't know how he should react at all, should he abdicate at their request, or firmly refuse?

At this moment, a shrill voice came in from outside the hall: "You sycophants, the late Emperor was buried only a few days ago, and you have already developed a different intention and insulted our orphans and widowed mothers...My lords, the late Emperor is here How can you do such a rebellious thing, how can future generations treat you!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their heads and saw the Empress Dowager He standing there with a face full of grief and indignation, pointing at the crowd and yelling loudly.It turned out that when Yuan Kui suddenly asked the emperor to abdicate, the clever palace people saw that something was wrong and ran to report to the queen mother.When the queen mother heard about this, she was very angry and anxious, and rushed here without thinking.At this time, seeing that all the officials were asking the emperor to abdicate, they couldn't help but yelled loudly.

After hearing the empress dowager's scolding, all the officials in the palace showed shame, deeply ashamed that they were forced by Dong Zhuo's strength to do such a rebellious thing.Seeing the sudden change in the situation in the palace, Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed. He would never allow things to change again, so he said immediately: "Queen Mother, as early as January, all the ministers and I have come to the table. Advise the Son of Heaven to let the Empress Dowager stop interfering in government affairs. And you have committed a big taboo by coming here suddenly today."

"What a big taboo, this is just an excuse for you, Dong Zhuo, to have ulterior motives. It is really unreasonable to want to seize the throne now! My lords, you are all ministers of the former emperor's dynasty. How can you be taken advantage of by such a villain? And do things that will bring disaster to the world..." The Queen Mother shouted again.

A murderous look flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, he didn't expect this woman to be so ignorant, it seemed that she had to use force.After making up his mind, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Where are the guards, why don't you drag this woman who disturbed the court meeting to me?" This time he didn't even call her the queen mother.

Those guards were Xiliang policemen brought by Dong Zhuo, so they naturally obeyed his orders.At that moment, without saying a word, he stepped forward and pulled the Queen Mother out half-supported and half-dragged.The Queen Mother was struggling on the other side, while shouting: "My lords, you are all people who are valued by the late emperor. You must not be coerced by others just because of a moment of confusion..." The voice stopped abruptly here, obviously someone gagged him.

The arrogant behavior of Dong Zhuo's subordinates also made the officials tremble for a while, how dare they treat the current queen mother like this?Although this queen mother is likely to die, she is still a queen mother after all, which has never happened before.However, this also showed Dong Zhuo's determination to accomplish this from another aspect, and everyone dared not sing against him.

And with the empress dowager coming out to disturb, Dong Zhuo had an excuse to attack the emperor: "I have always been troubled by many disasters, and the court and China have been fighting endlessly. The reason is that this foreign relative is also the root of the evil. And Chen The mother family of Liuwang was all lost in the previous chaos. If it were replaced by Di, the world would be very fortunate. Today's queen mother does not want to rest in the harem, but repeatedly wants to intervene in the affairs of the court. abdicate!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo staring at him aggressively made Liu Bian feel terrified. At this time, the ministers asked him to abdicate again. There was no way out. The voice said: "Qing... What Qing and others said is very true. I will abdicate to let the virtuous, and let King Chenliu take the throne..."

The officials finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the emperor said, but from Yuan Kai down, many people felt heavy in their hearts. They knew very well that they would be written as a sycophant who bullied the young emperor in the history books .

On September 28th, the sixth year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, under the advice of the officials, the young emperor Liu Bian, who had just ascended the throne for only a few months, was forced to come to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, confess his crimes, and give up the throne of emperor. out.Immediately, Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, was established as the emperor, and Liu Bian was named the king of Hongnong.

From then on, Dong Zhuo's absolute authority in Luoyang City was formally established. Not only was he worshiped as a grand master, but he also enjoyed the privilege of walking on the sword and seeing the king without his name, which was almost the same as that of Yi Yin and Huo Guang in the previous dynasty. Great power.

With the city of Luoyang under his control and the land of Xiliang as his backing, Dong Zhuo began to set his sights on the wider world of the Central Plains. His ambition was not limited to being among the three princes in the past, but to take the position of the Son of Heaven instead. .

?????

At the same time, the name of Ma Yue spread in Luoyang City.Originally, his reputation as a counselor under Dong Zhuo's command was very difficult to show, not to mention that he deliberately acted in a low-key way before, which made himself even less known.But this time, because of the Yuan family's affairs, this little-known young man began to come into everyone's eyes, and then everyone knew that there was such a vicious person behind Dong Zhuo's screen to advise him.

Since this person can carry out such a great event on Dong Zhuo's behalf, he must be an extremely important person around Dong Zhuo.So when Dong Zhuo's power rose sharply and the powerful in Luoyang wanted to curry favor, Ma Yue, a newly rising figure, also became the person they rushed to see.This was the exact opposite of what Ma Yue had hoped for when he entered Luoyang, but he had no choice but to accept it now.At least at this time, it is impossible for him to draw a clear line with Dong Zhuo, so he can only socialize more as his confidant.

But Ma Yue's name was really known to the world, but it was because of the following decision on the Yuan family case that everyone knew that his methods were sharper than everyone imagined!
