Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 61 Desire to Abolish the Emperor
Baiguan also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't act too aggressively.

However, Yuan Shao frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, because he didn't know Dong Zhuo's reason for coming, and he didn't say much, and he himself was involved with Dong Zhuo.

In the end, they also gathered together to escort the new emperor back to Luoyang City.

When we arrived outside Luoyang City, the sky was already getting brighter, and the sun was showing a little from the east.

Suddenly, another army came, and the word "Ding" was written on the handsome flag, which was the army of Dingyuan in Bingzhou, who also came to Luoyang at this time.

The two sides were fine, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses were all stationed outside the city, one east and one west, without interfering with each other.

Surrounded by hundreds of officials, the new emperor also entered the palace, met the queen mother, hugged each other and wept bitterly, and those who heard it wept.

Because of the fire in the palace, Cao Cao led his men to put it out, and there was not much loss. When checking the palace, he found that the Chuanguo Yuxi had been lost and disappeared.

In the end, when they couldn't find them, all the officials left separately, and Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan also returned to live in the camp outside the city.

So far, the biggest force in Luoyang has become Dong Zhuo, with an army of 20 in his hands, watching covetously outside Luoyang city.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang with uneasy and kind intentions. Every time he entered Luoyang City, he would bring elite soldiers to roam the streets, disturbing the tranquility of Luoyang City, and causing the people to panic.

Even entering and leaving the palace is also unscrupulous, entering the palace with soldiers.

All civil and military officials dared not speak out against this. No one called Dong Zhuo who had a heavy army in his hands and the ability to protect him. He dared not take any action if the 20 troops did not leave for a day.

Bao Xin, Lieutenant of the Rear Military Academy, went directly to Yuan Shao's mansion, approached Yuan Shao, and said, "Now the disaster is settled, but Dong Zhuo refuses to lead his troops back to Liangzhou. Get rid of it first, just in case!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Now that the court has just recovered from the chaos, there must be no radical behavior!"

"Yes!" Bao Xin wanted to continue persuading.

"I understand what you mean, but Dong Zhuo is a minister with meritorious service. If we act now, it will make the world think of us. There is no need to say anything about it!"

Yuan Shao didn't know that Dong Zhuo had some kind of conspiracy. It was easy to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but there were 20 troops outside the city, many of them were Dong Zhuo's cronies. Can't run.

If it is said that the person who hates Dong Zhuo the most, it must be him. Originally, he wanted to use Dong Zhuo's power to balance He Jin. He used the relationship, but he did not expect that Dong Zhuo would use it in turn. Due to the sudden change, the ten servants acted ahead of time and killed He Jin, making everything he did in vain. The current situation is out of his control.

And even if you want to kill a tiger, you must have a sharp weapon to kill a tiger, otherwise you will fail to kill a tiger and be injured by a tiger instead.

Seeing this, Bao Xin could only leave.

He went to Situ Wang Yun to discuss the matter, but Wang Yun dismissed him with a single sentence.

In desperation, Bao Xin led his troops to leave Luoyang and head for Mount Tai.

Dong Zhuo recruited and surrendered He Jin and He Miao's soldiers and horses, incorporated them into his own power, and his power grew day by day. It can be said that in addition to a small number of soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, there are also Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, and the rest of the power belongs to under his command.

In the early mornings again and again.

Dong Zhuo looked at the cowardly new emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and felt very dissatisfied. How could the king of a country always be so submissive, and his thoughts of supporting the new emperor when he returned to Luoyang were growing day by day.

After returning to the camp outside the city, he sent someone to call Li Ru to the main tent.

"I don't know why the lord asked me?" Li Ru cupped his hands.

Dong Zhuo trusted Li Ru very much, so he said directly: "Wen You, Your Majesty is too cowardly, without a trace of majesty. I want to abolish Your Majesty and make King Chenliu the emperor. What do you think of this matter?"

Before that, Dong Zhuo had a good impression of Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, and saw that the words and deeds of King Chenliu in the palace were very decent, and he was more suitable to be an emperor than the new emperor.

It's not that he doesn't have the intention to be the emperor and seek the power of the great man. Although he holds great power and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but now is not the right time. He can only support a puppet, and King Chen Liu is his choice.

Hearing this, Li Ru also became thoughtful, this time he agreed with Dong Zhuo to enter the capital, and made suggestions from it, and let Dong Zhuo lead the army to Luoyang with the help of Yuan Shao's secret letter and He Jin's secret edict.

Later, he used a scheme to cause chaos in Luoyang, so that Dong Zhuo could take advantage of the opportunity. He also wanted to let Dong Zhuo control the court, so that the ideals in his heart could be implemented.

He said: "This matter is feasible. The new emperor was pushed up by He Jin and he is the eldest son, so it is only logical. However, the new emperor has a cowardly personality and is not suitable for staying on the throne. But if you want to get things done, you have to be quick. , you can hold a banquet in the Wenming Garden tomorrow, invite the ministers of the court and China to discuss this matter together, if there is any disobedience, beheaded, and the authority will be exercised!"

"This plan works!" Dong Zhuo said happily.

I am also very satisfied with Li Ru's suggestion. He has great power in his hands, and there is no need to be hypocritical with the civil and military officials in the court. If there is any dissatisfaction, just kill the chickens and monkeys. There is no force in Luoyang that can resist him. , There is no need to be afraid of someone daring to be dissatisfied.

Everything is not something that he can decide with a single sentence!

"Leave this matter to Wen You to arrange." Dong Zhuo ordered.

"promise!"

Li Ru didn't refuse either, and withdrew, then returned to his tent, wrote down the invitation, and sent someone to the mansion of the court minister.

However, the invitation did not specify the intention, it only said that Dong Zhuo wanted to host a banquet for the ministers. If the intention was stated, there might be some unnecessary troubles, so it was not what he wanted.

Soon, the invitation was sent out and sent to the hands of the ministers in the DPRK and China.

The ministers of the court received Dong Zhuo's invitation, and they were also trembling, because they didn't know what Dong Zhuo's intentions were. Even if they didn't want to accept this invitation, because of the power in Dong Zhuo's hands, they accepted the invitation to show that they would go. Participate in a banquet.

Even Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, Cao Cao and others did not refuse Dong Zhuo's invitation.

One night, the ministers in Luoyang City did not sleep soundly. They were all thinking about Dong Zhuo's purpose for holding a banquet. They would not believe that Dong Zhuo simply wanted to hold a banquet. There must be something in it, but I kept thinking about falling asleep, but I didn't figure out what it was for!
