Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 508 Extermination of the Dong family
"So that's it! I misunderstood you!" Fu Wan respectfully clasped his fists at Yuan Yao, then his face turned cold, he waved his hand, pointed at Dong Cheng, and shouted at his imperial guards: "The imperial guards obey the order, and you are not allowed to communicate with Yuan Gong's people." Conflict! Our duty is to protect the emperor, don't let the thieves get close!!"

The thief in Fu Wan's mouth obviously refers to Dong Cheng who is hiding beside the emperor!

When moving from Chang'an to the east, Dong Cheng ordered his generals to kill his daughter Empress Fu's maid and robbed her daughter's jewels, there was no possibility of reconciliation between Fu Wan and Dong Cheng! !If it wasn't for the fact that the imperial court was weak and had to be supported by both of them, Fu Wan would have retaliated against Dong Cheng long ago! !

If you resist Yuan Yao, you will die if you fall, but if you cooperate with Yuan Yao, you can not only keep your glory and wealth, but also remove the biggest threat to your daughter's position as queen!
It is not surprising that Fu Wan made such a choice!
"We obey!" All the imperial guards took back their lives, and there was no hesitation at all. With a roar, they immediately turned their halberds, no longer facing Yuan Yao's personal followers, but looking at the emperor who was hiding behind him, shivering. Trembling Dong Cheng! !

Yuan Yao waved his hand lightly, signaling to Yang Wu to lead his followers to get out of the way, let the guards under him go over, and shouted: "Zilong, help General Fu catch the thief!"

Zhao Yun immediately summoned ten of his followers, and Fu Wan was on the left and right, and went to surround Dong Cheng.

Yang Wu didn't dare to be careless, he ordered ten of his entourage to protect Yuan Yao, and the rest of his entourage to surround all the officials to prevent anyone from escaping.

But seeing in the main hall, all the officials were frightened and did not dare to move a little. The emperor sat on the dragon chair as if on pins and needles, at a loss.

Seeing the soldiers surrounding him with weapons, Dong Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly knelt beside the emperor, begging: "Your Majesty, save me!! Save me!!"

Liu Xie turned his face to the side and sighed: "I can't protect myself, how can I save you?"

"For my daughter's sake, Your Majesty, please save me! If Yuan Yaoru kills me, he will definitely kill my daughter!! She is His Majesty's concubine!" Dong Cheng looked terrified, and pulled the emperor's dragon robe, Emperor Liu Xie hurriedly got up and took a step back.

"Both of you go and take down Dong Cheng!! The rest will follow me to protect the emperor!" Fu Wan shouted.

Immediately two people rushed out from the imperial guards, escorted Dong Cheng to the bottom of the steps, and threw them in front of Yuan Yao, and guarded the emperor together with other imperial guards.

Yuan Yao ordered Yang Wu to remove Dong Cheng's crown belt, tie it up, press it on the ground, and asked the emperor to sit on the dragon chair.

Dong Cheng saw that the general situation was over, but he was still not reconciled, struggled a few times, and roared at Yuan Yao with angry eyes: "You say that I am corrupt, do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, if you dare to kill the emperor's relatives indiscriminately, you are plotting rebellion, you Aren't you afraid that the princes of the world will rise up to punish you?"

Yuan Yao laughed, took out a volume from his bosom, and said loudly: "Evidence??? This is the evidence of your corruption!!"

Dong Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily: "You!! You are trying to frame him!"

Yuan Yao ignored Dong Cheng, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I obeyed the order to repair the Luoyang Palace, but Dong Cheng took this opportunity to plunder, collude with bandits, fish and meat people, embezzle and accept bribes, and the people of Luoyang died because of this." Up to 42 people!! The people’s grievances are overwhelming!! The minister found out that Dong Cheng’s corruption amounted to more than 300 billion yuan, and the cost of repairing the palace was less than 50 billion yuan!!…”

"Ah!! It's 300 billion!!! Oh my God, I can't earn so much money in my whole life! This is so unfair!!"

Yilang Wu Shuo immediately showed anger when he heard the words, and shouted bitterly.

Wu Shuo was not arranged by Yuan Yao in advance, nor was he from Yuan Yao's faction. This made Yuan Yao slightly startled, so he nodded and smiled at Wu Shuo friendly.

Seeing this, the rest of the officials immediately understood, and several more officials shouted loudly.

"Dong Chengfan has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please put him to death!!"

"You dare to embezzle the imperial silver, you deserve to die, please punish the three clans of the Dong clan to show the power of heaven!!"

"Yuan Gong is the pillar of my great man, I support Yuan Gong as the prime minister!!"

"..."

Seeing the wind and turning the rudder, all the officials began to join in.

Dong Cheng was so angry that his face was livid, but after all, he was the uncle who was in power for a while. Seeing that the situation was completely unfavorable to him, he yelled: "Your Majesty, Yuan Yao also shared 100 billion!!"

Liu Xie looked at Yuan Yao, unable to speak.

All the officials were startled when they heard the words. They were still yelling just now, and the loudest Yilang Wu Shuo quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and looked at Yuan Yao apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan, I, I am not on purpose!"

Yuan Yao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Wu Yilang, you are a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country, I believe His Majesty will definitely promote you!"

Then, under the doubts of all the officials, Yuan Yao took out another gift list and played: "Your Majesty, I was worried about your lack of property at the beginning, so I accepted it for your majesty first. This gift list was written by Dong Cheng himself. All items There are detailed records, and the minister did not take any money. Today, I will take this opportunity to return it to His Majesty as His Majesty's living expenses! There is also 50 billion yuan, which is the military rations that Dong Cheng sent when our army went to Chang'an. These are all recorded in detail!"

A smile appeared on Liu Xie's face when he heard this!

50 billion! !
Although not much, but if it is only for Liu Xie's personal use, it is definitely a huge sum of money! !

For Yuan Yao's great gift, Liu Xie would of course accept it with a smile! !

To be an emperor, you have food, drink, beauties, status, and money to spend, what more do you ask for!Power is just a tool for obtaining these things, Liu Xie thought in his heart.

At this time, as long as Dong Cheng is executed, all of this will be over. Although Dong Guiren's delicate body makes Liu Xie feel a little bit reluctant, but thinking that as long as the emperor's seat is stabilized, and with this 50 billion yuan, he may not be able to choose A better beauty than Dong Guiren?
"All my lovers are right, and I will play it!" Liu Xie said.

When Sikong and Jia Xu heard the words, they immediately took out the seals they had prepared, and asked all the officials to sign and stamp them one by one. Soon, all the civil officials and military generals signed their names and stamped their seals face to face. Before the form is delivered to the emperor's case, the emperor is asked to sign and stamp it with the seal of the jade seal!
Liu Xiedao: "From now on, until I reach adulthood, Prime Minister Yuan will be fully responsible for all matters! If there is any violation, the prime minister can kill without playing!! Retire!!"

Long live Baiguanshan, Liu Xie left the hall under the escort of Fu Wan and the imperial guards.

Although retreating, all the officials were terrified and did not dare to leave, they all looked at Yuan Yao with their fists clasped.

"Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister!..."

Yuan Yao nodded, returned the salute, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, go home with peace of mind today, and come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to discuss matters. Although I am in power, I still rely on you to govern the country!"

He also ordered Zhao Yun to say, "Zilong, immediately take Dong Cheng outside the Meridian Gate and behead him for public display! At the same time, he ordered Xu Chu to confiscate all of Dong Cheng's property and kill all Dong's family on the spot!"

"Obey! My lord!!" Zhao Yun cupped his fists and answered loudly.

　Thank you very much for the 500 coin reward from the book friend "The Foodie Otaku"! ! !
