Chapter 172: Liu Xie's ascension to the throne

Of course, this is related to the affairs of the Han Society, and no matter how strong Dong Zhuo is, he must inform the ministers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he summoned many officials to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a meeting in the name of the Prime Minister, and the military bigwigs such as Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were not present.

Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's Mansion is comparable to the Imperial Palace, but the ministers who were summoned did not have much heart to appreciate it, and the reason was the purpose of Dong Zhuo's meeting today.

"I have summoned you here today for an important announcement. Your Majesty is cowardly and incompetent to rule the world. The prime minister decided to follow the story of Hoy, set up another meritocracy, and supported Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, to ascend the throne as emperor. Dong Zhuo said straight to the point.

The ministers were shocked, they didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so bold, and the abolished emperor could think of it.

Yuan Shao was angry, rose from the ground, and shouted at Dong Zhuo: "Dong Zhongying, what virtue do you have, dare Huo Guang and Yi Yin to be compared." Moreover, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has been no immorality, and if you are so bold and reckless, are you not afraid that the people of the world will rise up against it? ”

Yuan Shao actually didn't give himself face so much, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he slapped the table, pulled out the sword at his waist, and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you dare to talk nonsense here, aren't you afraid of the sword in my straight hand?" ”

"Your sword is sharp, is my sword not good? Come on, who's afraid of whom! Yuan Shao also pulled out his sword and confronted Dong Zhuo-for-tat.

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing this situation, drew their steel swords and surrounded all the ministers. The little hearts of the ministers were pounding, and in case of a fight, they would suffer an unwarranted disaster.

Dong Zhuo was angry, feeling that he had been insulted, so he wanted to kill Yuan Shao. Li Ru hurriedly whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear: "Father-in-law, Yuan Shao is the next heir to the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, and killing him will lead to a fierce counterattack by the Yuan family, which is very unfavorable to my father-in-law's major affairs. For the sake of the Yuan family's current honesty, let's spare Yuan Shao's dog's life. ”

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo squinted at Yuan Kui and said with a sneer: "Lord Yuan teaches a good son. The matter could not be discussed again, so it was decided. ”

Yuan Kui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Dong Zhongying, you won't end well!" With that, he walked straight away. The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not dare to stop it.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he threw the wine bottle in front of him to the ground, and wanted to kill Yuan Shao at that time.

After calming down his anger, Dong Zhuo said: "Liu Xiexian, the king of Chenliu, is the best candidate for the emperor, and the court will announce this tomorrow morning, you all go and prepare." The enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow. ”

Without waiting for the ministers to react, Dong Zhuo brushed his sleeves away. When Li Ru left, he looked at Yuan Kui with gloomy eyes, and Yuan Kui was as calm as usual.

Yuan Kui, who returned home, immediately ordered Yuan Shao to leave Luoyang and go to Bohai County to take up the post of Taishou, and if he stayed in Luoyang, he would be killed by Dong Zhuo sooner or later. Yuan Shao also knew that he was reckless just now, and he didn't dare to disobey Yuan Kui's order, so he left Luoyang immediately.

Dong Zhuo was haunted by what happened just now, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and directly sent someone to arrest Yuan Shao, who knew that Yuan Shao had already run away, Yuan Kui also pretended to be stupid, and Dong Zhuo almost fainted.

The morning of the second day.

Dong Zhuo announced the decision to remove Liu Wei above the court, Liu Wei was at a loss, and the ministers were even more excited.

"What the prime minister said is wrong, Your Majesty has not been immoral since he ascended the throne, and I, Lu Zigan, will never agree." Lu Zhi objected on the spot.

"Bastard, what virtue do you Lu Zhi have to discuss the government here, come here, drag this chaotic minister and thief out for me to behead and show the public." Dong Zhuo was opposed by Yuan Shao yesterday and Lu Zhi today, and his mood could not be calmed at all, so he ordered the knife and axe man to withdraw Lu Zhi and behead him.

"Father-in-law, Lu Zigan has always been loyal and righteous, and he has made meritorious contributions to pacifying the Yellow Turban, and has great prestige in the world, so he can't be killed, so it's better to remove him from all his official positions and titles and drive him out of Luoyang." Li Ru is still sober-minded, and people like Lu Zhi can't be killed.

Dong Zhuo still believed in his son-in-law Li Ru very much, and announced that he would remove Lu Zhi from all official positions and titles, drive him out of Luoyang, and never use him.

Lu Zhi struggled extremely and kept insulting, and the knife and axe man also dragged him out of the palace.

"No one else has come out against it!" Dong Zhuo looked around the audience.

There are still people with a tendon in their brains, and the two ministers directly jumped out to oppose it, scolding Dong Zhuo for his wolf ambitions. Dong Zhuo didn't dare to kill people with backgrounds and prestige, but of course Dong Zhuo wouldn't be polite to such two little shrimps, and personally killed the two of them in the main hall, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Haha, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die. Tomorrow, the abolition ceremony will be held in the Chongde Hall. "Killing the person who is against him, Dong Zhuo is in a happy mood.

The ministers were submissive and did not dare to say much. Liu Wei washed his face with tears.

The second day is in the Chongde Hall.

The new Shangshu Ding Palace presided over the abolition ceremony, and the Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Wei off the throne, lifted the jade seal and handed it over to Liu Xie, and then helped Liu Xie to officially ascend the throne, changed Yuan Xingping, and Liu Wei changed the title to King Hongnong. Liu Wei cried bitterly, while Liu Xie was expressionless.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo asked Shangshu Ding Gong to read out the policy, and impeached Empress Dowager He for killing Empress Dowager Dong, deposed him, and moved to Yong'an Palace. At the same time, Liu Yu, the king of Langya, was impeached for not obeying orders, openly beheading the envoys of the imperial court, rebelling, deposing Liu Yu from the title, and ordering the world to fight together.

Liu Yu's ability, Dong Zhuo saw it during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Liu Yu had so many capable generals under his command to dominate the state, making Dong Zhuo like a fish in his throat. At the same time, Liu Yu is still the identity of the prince, which is the biggest threat to Dong Zhuo, and it is best to take this opportunity to kill Liu Yu now.

Not long after, Empress Dowager He was poisoned and killed by Dong Zhuo in Yong'an Palace. Many things in the world have their own cause and effect, Empress Dowager He poisoned Empress Dowager Dong, and she also suffered such treatment.

Dong Zhuo did not allow the imperial court to hold a funeral for the Empress Dowager, but asked Liu Xie to go to Fengchang Pavilion in Luoyang City to express condolences, and the ministers wore white clothes to the court for three days.

At the same time, in order to cut off the thoughts of other ministers loyal to the Han family, Dong Zhuo instructed Li Ru to poison Liu Wei.

When Liu Wei saw Li Ru coming over with a wine bottle, he knew what was going on.

Liu Wei seemed to have grown up a lot, and said leisurely: "Is now the day my life is decided?" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to say much, this is a fine wine given by the Prime Minister, which guarantees that Your Highness will have an incomparable aftertaste." ”

Liu Wei picked up the wine bottle and said miserably: "In the end, it's still a death." The day I was deposed, I knew such an end, does Dong Thief still want face now? ”

Li Ru had a gloomy face and said, "Your Highness, don't be ignorant, do you want to help you down." ”

Liu Wei looked at Li Ru and said happily: "Do you think that you can realize your ambitions by poisoning me?" It's useless, even if others don't dare, there is one person who will not let you have a good time. I'm convinced of that. ”

Li Ru couldn't believe that the cowardly Liu Wei actually had such insight.

Liu Wei drank the poisoned wine in one gulp and said, "May the next life not give birth to the emperor's family." I'm waiting for you below! ”

Liu Wei died.

Li Ru was made into a cold sweat by Liu Wei's words. Liu Zhuo is right, Dong Zhuo's biggest enemy now is none other than Liu Yu, who dominates the state, no matter how Dong Zhuo smears Liu Yu, the world will not believe it.

Li Ru felt that it was necessary for him to make suggestions for such a thing and solve Liu Yu's big trouble.
