In Hedong, Dong Zhuo received a secret edict from He Jin and Zhang Rang almost successively, and said with great joy: “Everything, as Wen You said.” ”

Li Ru also showed a smile on his face: “We waited so long, after all, we didn’t wait in vain.”

The opportunity is in front of him, the lord only needs to reach out and seize it, and he can ascend to the sky in one step, under one person, above ten thousand people. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily: “If it can be achieved, Wen You should remember the first merit.” ”

Li Ru smiled and said, “Master, delay is a change, don’t delay.” ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, rode with 50,000 Xiliang Iron, and immediately rushed to Luoyang.

Hedong is not far from Luoyang, and the iron horse traveled all the way and entered the territory of Luoyang in two days.

As the saying goes, it’s better to come early than to come early.

As soon as I entered the territory of Luoyang, I saw a group of people supporting two children from a distance.

Dong Zhuo saw that the two young men were dressed richly, like people in the palace, so he immediately galloped up on his horse and asked sharply, “Who are you waiting for?” Where is the Son of Heaven? ”

Young Emperor Liu Wei is only nine years old now, looking at the man who is fat and flesh, his eyes are cold, he has just experienced the chaos of the palace, he is so scared that his body trembles, and he does not dare to say a word.

On the side, Chen Liuwang Liu Xie was held in his arms, although he was young, he was more calm than Liu Zhen, pointing at Liu Wei in a childish voice: “My royal brother is the Son of Heaven?” ”

Dong Zhuo glanced at Liu Xie in surprise, this boy looked to be about four years old, and he was actually so calm and calm.

He looked at Liu Feng, the Son of Heaven, again, and saw that his expression was terrified, not like a Son of Heaven at all, and he suddenly felt contempt in his heart.

But after all, it is the Son of Heaven, and Dong Zhuo still identified himself and said: “A certain Hedong Taishou Dong Zhuo, summoned by the great general He Jin, specially came to protect him.” ”

“Since it is a guard, you can escort me back to the palace.”

The person holding Chen Liuwang Liu Xiezhi said in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuo took the order, took 50,000 Western Liang Iron Horses, and escorted the young emperor and others back to Luoyang City.

Halfway met Lu Zhi, he knew that Dong Zhuo was a jackal, and when he arrived outside Luoyang City, he said to Dong Zhuo: “Dong Taishou, now that the chaos in the palace has been settled, Dong Taishou is a foreign minister, and he must not lead troops into Beijing.” ”

Dong Zhuo was angry in his heart, if he didn’t bring troops into Beijing, how could he control the court and be above ten thousand people under that person?

Li Ru pulled Dong Zhuo and said to Lu Zhi: “What General Lu said is very true. ”

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Zhi coldly and stationed the army outside the city.

Back in the palace, I saw Empress Dowager He, and each counted the people and things in the palace, but found that the jade seal of the kingdom was missing.

After several fruitless searches, I could only give up, and I didn’t care too much in my heart.

Although Dong Zhuo’s army was stationed outside the city, he roamed around Luoyang City every day with his guards, causing the people to panic.

Later Military Colonel Bao Xin came to see Yuan Shao and said, “In the beginning, this Dong Zhuo must have a different intention, and he should get rid of it as soon as possible.” ”

Yuan Shao’s eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, “The imperial court is newly determined, and you must not use the sword soldier lightly.”

I have sent a message to Mu Ding Yuan of Hezhou to come to Luoyang to kill the eunuchs and guard the new emperor.

It is believed that it will arrive in Luoyang soon.

At that time, with the army of Hezhou herdsmen to contain Dong Zhuo, Luoyang could be worry-free.

At this time, you must not act rashly, so as not to provoke Dong Zhuo. ”

Bao Xin nodded and left.

Dong Zhuo’s army was stationed outside Luoyang City, which was a great threat to Luoyang City.

In order not to anger Dong Zhuo, at least the emperor in the imperial court, Empress Dowager He, and the people down to the people were in awe of Dong Zhuo.

This further boosted Dong Zhuo’s ambition, and in the end, he dared to enter and exit the palace without permission with his guards.

Emperor Hanling died, the palace was in chaos, and Luoyang’s troops lost a lot, how could he dare to compete with Dong Zhuo’s 50,000 Western Liang Iron Horses.

Therefore, as long as Dong Zhuo’s actions were not too excessive, he turned a blind eye and did not dare to stop it.

This made Dong Zhuo gradually gain a foothold in Luoyang.

However, Liu Wei was the young emperor, and the Empress Dowager and many ministers guarded him, making it difficult for Dong Zhuo to control the imperial court at this time.

The idea of abolishing the emperor and establishing a new one was gradually born in Dong Zhuo’s heart.

On this day, Dong Zhuo, with the help of Li Ru, controlled He Jin’s old army and horses, and his power was even stronger, and said to Li Ru: “Wen You, I want to depose the young emperor and establish Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the new emperor, how?” ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this: “What the Lord said is also what Confucianism thinks.

I thought about coming to the Lord again in two days to make it clear, but I didn’t expect that the Lord and Confucian had the same thoughts.

The matter is done sooner rather than later.

Tomorrow, in the Wen Ming Circle, a hundred officials can be convened to discuss, but those who do not comply, beheaded.

If a hundred officials are afraid and dare not object, then great things can be accomplished. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: “With Wen You, it is difficult to escape my palm in this world.” ”

The next day, Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet at Wen Mingyuan and invited hundreds of officials to the banquet.

The hundred officials were afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare not go away.

After all the officials arrived, Dong Zhuofang brought his sword into the table.

Half-drunk with wine, Dong Zhuo scanned the hundred officials and said sharply: “I have a word, and the officials listen quietly.” ”

The hundred officials glanced at each other, looked at Dong Zhuo, and waited for the following, no one dared to speak loudly.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, “The Son of Heaven is the lord of all peoples, so why should he rule the world without authority?”

Today’s new lord is cowardly, not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu.

I want to depose the emperor and establish Chen Liuwang, what do the officials think? ”

The faces of the hundred officials were shocked, and the abolition of the emperor was newly established? This Dong Zhuo is really bold.

However, they were afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare to speak up.

Only one person got up, walked in front of Dong Zhuo, and shouted: “Who is Ru, dare to talk wild here?”

The Son of Heaven is the first emperor’s concubine, and there is no fault, how can he arbitrarily discuss the abolition of the establishment?

Ru, want to usurp the throne? ”

Dong Zhuo turned his head and saw that it was Shi Ding Yuan who was assassinated by Hezhou, and not only angrily reprimanded: “Those who follow me live, and those who go against me die.” ”

Saying that, Dong Zhuo drew his sword and wanted to kill Ding Yuan.

There was a person behind Ding Yuan, angry Yu Xuanang, majestic, holding Fang Tian’s halberd, glaring angrily at Dong Zhuo, and a faint murderous aura swept over.

Seeing this, Li Ru was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: “At today’s banquet, you must not talk about national affairs, and it is not too late to discuss this matter in the future.” ”

The rest of the officials saw that Ding Yuan was bumping into Dong Zhuo, afraid that he would anger Dong Zhuo, and all persuaded Ding Yuan to leave quickly.

After Ding Yuan left, Dong Zhuo asked the hundred officials: “What I said, is it fair?” ”

Lu Zhi said loudly, “Although the new lord is young, he is wise and benevolent, and he has no fault.

Ru Naiwai County Taishou, since I have participated in national affairs, how can I forcibly abolish the emperor and establish a new one? ”

Dong Zhuo was furious, drew his sword and moved forward, wanting to kill Lu Zhi.

This old fellow, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wanted to kill him, and today he actually dares to oppose himself, it is simply unreasonable.

Bai Guan hurriedly persuaded: “Lu Shangshu is popular in the sea, few people can do it, if it is harmed, it may cause turmoil in the world.” ”

Wang Yun also said: “The matter of abolition should not be discussed after drinking, and it will be discussed on another day.” ”

So the hundred officials were disbanded, and Dong Zhuo’s first attempt to depose the emperor ended in failure.
