Chapter 071: Moving the capital to Chang'an

When he learned that the coalition army began to march into Luoyang, Dong Zhuo hurriedly dispatched Huaxiong to the Tiger Pass, and at the same time he himself realized that he was afraid that Luoyang would not be able to hold it, so he listened to Li Ru's plan - to move the capital to Chang'an.

The Eastern Han Dynasty since the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuding capital Luoyang, after a hundred years of operation, the palace garden, the official temple treasury, Luoyang condensed the wisdom and sweat of several generations, as the imperial capital, Luoyang has long been known to the world, here brings together the wealth of the Quartet, the humanities gather, the residence of the ministers and nobles, the prosperity and wealth of Luoyang, make the world fascinated!

Luoyang is the first good area, but for Dong Zhuo, not only at this time the Kwantung princes formed a coalition of forces, but also in the north there are the Yellow Turban remnants of the White Bo Army in chaos, although the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is not enough to threaten Dong Zhuo, but their position is exactly on the road between Luoyang and Xiliang, if they are not careful, Dong Zhuo will fall into a dangerous situation where there is no way to retreat.

The news that Dong Zhuo is going to move the capital spreads far and wide, and the homes of the ministers and hundreds of officials are all in Luoyang, who wants to leave? Who wants to go! Chang'an has been abandoned for many years and cannot be compared with the prosperous Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo also knew that the hundred officials were unwilling to move the capital, but he had already made up his mind on this matter, and it was necessary to move, but he also knew that because of the abolition of the emperor, the scholars hated him to the core, so he was unwilling to come forward in person about the relocation of the capital, so he went to the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor and asked to appoint Henan Yin Zhujun as a servant, that is, his secretary.

The envoy came to see Zhu Jun with a book, but Zhu Jun said that he would not accept anything, and the envoy saw that Zhu Jun was not subject to the edict, and he could not make a difference, so he did not leave. Zhu Jun simply said that moving west to Chang'an will cause a commotion in the world, and I can't be edicted. As a result, Zhu Jun resisted the pressure and did not accept the appointment.

Dong Zhuo meant to let Zhu Jun take the lead in presiding over the relocation of the capital instead of himself, and Zhu Jun was not stupid, he resolutely did not carry this black pot and did not get on Dong Zhuo's thief ship.

There was no way, Dong Zhuo finally had to go into battle in person and convene a meeting of civil and military officials. At the meeting, Dong Zhuo spoke first, talking about moving the capital to the same place, which will definitely benefit the country.

When the officials heard this, they were all in an uproar, and Situ Yang Biao, one of the three princes, took the lead in speaking: "The relocation of the capital and the restructuring of the system is related to the safety of the world, and it should be done cautiously. Yin Shang Pangeng moved the capital, caused dissatisfaction among the people, the former Guanzhong was burned down by the red eyebrows, it is already a ruin, this dynasty has been a hundred years since Emperor Guangwu set the capital of Luoyang, the people have lived here for generations, live and work in peace and contentment, and now suddenly let them leave their hometowns, fear of the people commotion, and even more of the temple and the society are here. When the capital is moved, everything needs to be rebuilt, the cost is huge, and the treasury is empty, which may be unbearable. Shibao is a book of delusion, it must not be trusted, and please think twice. ”

Dong Zhuo was very unhappy to see Yang Biao openly disagreeing with him, but Yang Biao was highly respected and had great prestige in the court, and the Yang family was also a famous family of the fourth and third dukes, and the family was not under the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo still gave Yang Biao some face and did not attack on the spot.

Dong Zhuo patiently refuted the difficulties raised by Yang Biao one by one, and Yang Biao also argued with reason, Dong Zhuo was suddenly a little anxious, and he was about to kill people in anger.

Taiwei Huang Wan saw that the limelight was wrong, and hurriedly came over to play a round: "The relocation of the capital is a matter of great importance, and Yang Gong is also thinking about the country, and his words are not unreasonable." Dong Zhuo pulled his face and didn't answer, and for a while, the scene in the hall was embarrassing.

Sikong Xunshuang, one of the three princes, saw today's situation, and knew that it was useless to say anything, Dong Zhuo had made up his mind, and if he said more, he could only provoke Dong Zhuo to get into trouble, and hurriedly went out and said: "Moving the capital is also forced to do it out of desperation, it is a last resort, if it is not for the Kwantung rebellion, is Xiangguo willing to move the capital?" Xiangguo considered that the rebellion in the eastern part of the country could not be determined in a day, and the relocation of the capital was needed to quell the rebellion. ”

Xun Shuang's words made Dong Zhuo feel a little more comfortable, and then he barely squeezed out a little smile and announced his retirement from the dynasty. After returning home, Taiwei Huang Wan wrote a seal overnight, listing the disadvantages of moving the capital one by one, hoping that Dong Zhuo would change his mind.

Dong Xiangguo did not reply, he replied with practical actions. A few days later, Dong Zhuo used the excuse of successive disasters in various places to remove Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others from their posts. In the Han Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently, and as the three dukes, they were all responsible, which was also a means for the emperor or powerful ministers to eradicate dissidents.

At the same time, in order to appease the scholars, some officials who were more inclined to him were promoted, including Wang Yun who replaced Yang Biao as Situ.

After a few days, Dong Zhuo was angry that Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance to take the lead in crusading against him, and angered the entire Yuan family, from Yuan Shao's uncle Taifu Yuan Kui down, slaughtered all the relatives of the Yuan family in Luoyang, a total of more than 50 people, and the officials and servants involved were as many as nearly 1,000 people.

In the end, under Dong Zhuo's threat, Emperor Xian of Han had to agree to the proposal to move the capital.

As a result, the ancient capital of Luoyang once again ushered in a catastrophe, and this time, it was the most complete, Dong Zhuo not only killed those rich businessmen and officials who refused to leave, but also confiscated the property of these people. Not only that, but he also sentenced all his usual political enemies to death, and at the same time, he was afraid that these people who moved away would regret it when the time came, Dong Zhuo even ordered the entire Luoyang City to be burned, and the once prosperous and magnificent ancient capital Luoyang became a sea of purgatory. Driven by sin, it burns, it devours, it destroys everything. The cries, screams, and evil laughter are the best annotations to this tragic picture.

I don't know whether to say that Dong Zhuo is bold or whether to say that Diao Chan is destined to suffer this catastrophe, Dong Zhuo after sweeping the treasures and beauties in the palace, suddenly remembered the beautiful Diao Chan who had seen him in Wang Yun's mansion, and immediately ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to go to Wang Yun's mansion in person, called escort, but in fact, it was to catch Diao Chan for his own enjoyment.

Wang Yun was packing up his belongings in the mansion at the moment and preparing to flee, when he suddenly found a group of Dong Army soldiers coming menacingly, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Niu, why are you here at this time?" ”

Although Niu Fu is rough in appearance, he has an elegant temperament, and when he saw Wang Yunhou, he politely raised his hand and saluted: "Wang Situ, I came to protect Situ and his family on the order of Xiangguo, and there is also a Miss Diao Chan, Lord Xiangguo ordered us to escort her to Xiangguo for special protection." ”

"What?" Wang Yun hoped day and night that Dong Zhuo would forget Diao Chan, the war has been tense in the past few days, Dong Zhuo has never thought about it, Wang Yunzheng is secretly happy, but he didn't expect to think of it again at this moment. "This, Diao Chan, this ......"

Seeing that Wang Yun was hesitant to hand over Diao Chan, Niu Fu's smiling face suddenly pulled down and said, "Lord Situ doesn't believe that Xiangguo can protect your Diao Chan?" ”

"No, no, no, the old man has no such intention, never such intention." Wang Yun waved his hand again and again and denied.

At this time, a young and beautiful woman behind Wang Yun came out, it was Diao Chan, and she said softly: "Father, let the child go with this general." The child doesn't have to worry about his safety in Xiangguo, and he asks his father to cherish it all the way. When I get to Chang'an, my father will work harder, and everything is important to the country! The last sentence was deliberately said in a heavier tone.

Diao Chan's initiative to appear made Wang Yun feel uncomfortable, this time to Dong Zhuo's side, it is inevitable to be bullied, and Diao Chan is still Dong Zhuo's nemesis Lu Bu's woman, if Dong Zhuo knows the truth, the end will be extremely miserable, and it is very likely that he will be implicated, but if he does not hand over Diao Chan now, I am afraid that he will suffer immediately, which makes Wang Yun in a dilemma. But now Diao Chan took the initiative to appear, obviously with the determination to sacrifice his life for righteousness, especially the last sentence, outsiders can't hear what it means, but Wang Yun understands that Diao Chan wants to implement the beauty plan to eliminate traitors for the country.

Under Niu Fu's gaze, Wang Yun's gains and losses, Diao Chan slowly walked towards the carriage step by step.

When I was about to enter the carriage, something happened abruptly. Out of nowhere, two black shadows burst out, one of them waved his hand and sprinkled a large hidden weapon, the nearby Dong Jun soldiers, including some people in Wang Yun's mansion, were hit one after another, and even Wang Yun himself was hit by a flying knife in his arm, and among all the people present, only Niu Fu saw the opportunity to quickly dodge the hidden weapon; The other person stopped by his waist and picked up Diao Chan and ran out in the other direction. Before Niu Fu and his subordinates could react, the two of them quickly left here with Diao Chan.

Only one sentence was left echoing in the air, "Such a beautiful beauty can't be cheap Dong Zhuo's old man, wait for me to go back and dedicate it to my lord Wenhou." Wang Situ, thank you for this 'great gift'! ”

When Niu Fu heard this, the three corpses jumped violently, and there was nowhere to vent his anger, and when he wanted to reprimand Wang Yun, he saw the deep wound on his arm and had to give up, and led the army to report to Dong Zhuo, but he no longer mentioned the matter of protecting Wang Yun's family.

Wang Yun waited until Niu Fu led the troops to retreat and breathed a sigh of relief: I didn't expect Lu Bu to secretly leave such a hand, and now Dong Zhuo couldn't blame himself anymore, but he ...... It's a pity that you can't use the beauty trick to poison Dong Zhuo.

Diao Chan didn't stop until he was taken by the man in black to a hidden dwelling. The black-clothed man holding Diao Chan stood silent as soon as he put down Diao Chan, and the other black-clothed man took out a white handkerchief from his arms before Diao Chan spoke, and the word Hongchang was embroidered on one corner of the scarf, and the word cloth was embroidered on the other corner.

After handing the handkerchief to Diao Chan, the man in black spoke: "Miss Diao Chan, I hope you will forgive me for being offended by the urgency of the situation." ”

Diao Chan took the handkerchief, shook his head and signaled that it was okay before he asked, "Are you really Lu, the person sent by General Lu to rescue me?" ”

"That's right," the man in black nodded, "After the lord returns to Bingzhou, he will send my two brothers to protect you." I'm a shadow, and this is a shadow. originally planned to take you away on the way to move the capital to Chang'an, but he never thought that Dong Zhuo would send someone to look for you today, and he had no choice but to rescue you first. ”

Diao Chan heard Lu Bu mention the matter of the secret group, and learned that the other party came to protect him, Diao Chan was overjoyed and said: "Brother Lu is so good, he was worried about my safety and sent someone here." Oh," she suddenly thought of Wang Yun and continued, "But in this way, isn't my father in danger, and if he can't catch me, he will definitely be angry with him." ”

Dark Shen replied, "Miss doesn't need to worry. When we robbed you just now, we deliberately said the identity of the lord, just to prevent Dong Zhuoqian from angering Lord Wang, Miss, you can rest for a while, and we will take you out of Luoyang in a while.
