Chapter 12: The Assembly of the Imperial Palace
"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law has already prepared, as long as the waste emperor is forced to abdicate in court, my father-in-law's plan to represent the Han Dynasty can be implemented as scheduled. If he knew each other, he would be able to leave him with a life.
If he doesn't know each other, he'll go to hell with that waste brother of his!"
Li Ru's face was grim, revealing an obvious killing intent.
"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
"As long as the prime minister succeeds in the Han dynasty and dominates the world, the virtuous son-in-law is the merit of the dragon. At that time, after a hundred years of this prime minister, the world will be yours. Dong Zhuo laughed wildly, and his face looked even more hideous.
"Father-in-law, it's really a tormenting son-in-law, long live your father-in-law!" Li Ru hurriedly waved his hand, seemingly rejecting Dong Zhuo's words, but in his heart he felt like he had been scratched by a cat.
Dong Zhuo has no children under his knees, only Li Ru is such a son-in-law, it stands to reason that if Dong Zhuo succeeds in replacing the Han Dynasty and ascends the throne as emperor, he will be a proper successor to the throne!
"It's just that if this matter is to be successful, you must be careful of the 100,000 iron horsemen in Lu Bu's hands. Li Ru reminded.
"Haha, Lu Bu is not our family's henchman after all, and after unifying the world in the future, he will be the first person our family will kill. Dong Zhuo sneered.
"Father-in-law is wise. Li Ru didn't try to persuade anything, and now the court's ministers are headed by Li Ru, and the military generals are headed by Lu Bu. As soon as Lu Bu dies, he will be able to control the government in the future, so who can be the enemy in the court?
Now that our family has so many soldiers and horses, no one in the world can beat them. Even the alliance of the eighteenth princes can't help our family, and they still have to force the little emperor Zen to live in me.
If you want me to say that it is better to cut it directly, our family will be happy to ascend the throne directly. Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with a burning passion for power.
When Li Ru heard this, he shook his head: "By all means, in this way, we will fall into passivity and become the target of public criticism." We only need to force the little emperor Zen to be in the father-in-law, and we must not act recklessly. ”
"Bullshit Emperor, Han Gaozu killed Xiang Yu and won the world, and Han Guangwu killed Wang Mang and won the world. Such a hero gave birth to such an incompetent person, and he deserves to be a descendant of the Liu family. ”
"Weng son-in-law, this matter will be handed over to you, this prime minister believes in you, and now he is ready to gather hundreds of officials, and prepare to let that little emperor be honest and honest!"
Thinking that he was about to master the Han Empire, Dong Zhuo was a little impatient, kicked his legs, stood with his fat body, and felt the whole courtyard tremble.
"Follow my father-in-law's orders!"
Li Ruyin sneered and replied respectfully.
Jin Wuxi falls, the moon rabbit rises eastward, and the cycle repeats.
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
When the sun slowly rose from the horizon, the huge century-old imperial capital instantly fell into a hot and noisy atmosphere.
The palace of the Han Empire was lively.
The main hall of the court.
As the place of discussion in the early days of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held court meetings here, received foreign envoys, and handled national and local affairs. At this time, several courtiers stood outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's arrival.
in the main hall.
The fragrance rising in the space spreads, which can be described as silent, solemn and solemn.
"Your Majesty arrived, and hundreds of officials knelt down to greet him. As the hoarse voice of the eunuch and eunuch sounded, Liu Xie slowly walked in from outside the main hall.
Suddenly.
Hundreds of officials heard the sound of thunder, and for a while, a large group of people knelt down densely, shouting in unison: "The ministers will meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be ten thousand years, and the Han will be ten thousand years." ”
"All Aiqing, let's get even!" Wenchen and the military generals got up one after another, and Liu Xie walked to the dragon chair, sat down, and shouted loudly at the same time.
"There is something to do, and there is nothing to retreat. The eunuch beside Liu Xie shouted.
After the sound fell.
The entire court was silent, and the civil ministers and officials looked at me, I looked at you, but they were speechless.
Dong Zhuo has been in Beijing for more than a few months, using force as a threat to control the government, moving the capital to Chang'an, abolishing the original Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei, and single-handedly supporting Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, to ascend the throne.
Today, the entire Chang'an has been firmly played by Dong Zhuo in the palm of his hand, and almost all of the civil and military officials here have been robbed of real power except for Dong Zhuo's people, so naturally there will be no retribution.
As for the court meeting, it was just a formality, and the emperor had no say at all.
"The minister has a book to play. Li Ru bowed and slowly stood up.
"Li Aiqing, what's the matter?" Liu Xie's eyes turned and fell on the head of the civil minister.
"Chen, I watched the sky last night and found that the crape myrtle was bleak and the destiny was different. The courtiers all believed that the Han dynasty had lasted for more than 400 years.
From prosperity to decline, from glory to withering, and now it is even more exhaustive, why not follow the path of Yao and Shun and place the Jiangshan Sheji Zen in Xiangguo. In this way, the heart of heaven and the will of the people below, this matter has been decided, please let Your Majesty allow it to play!"
Li Ru shouted loudly, the gloomy color on his face becoming more and more obvious.
"Alas, how unfortunate my Han Empire is! First there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then the eunuchs rebelled against the government, and now there are rebellious ministers and thieves like Dong Zhuo running rampant in the government and the opposition. My great man is unfortunate, Your Majesty is unfortunate!"
"My Han family is finished, the first emperors of the Han Dynasty, the old ministers are helpless......"
Seeing Li Ru's arrogant and domineering face, most of the officials shook their heads and were depressed, filled with a variety of complex emotions of unbearability and prayer, as well as dissatisfaction and anger against Dong Zhuo's rebellion.
Because among the hundred officials, most of the courtiers are loyal to the Han family, but they dare not show all kinds of emotions at will, because once they are exposed, they will be greeted by Dong Zhuo's bloodthirsty butcher's knife.
For the sake of their lives, for the sake of their wives and children, they have no choice but to endure.
