Chapter 107: Abolished
Seeing that Yuan Kui had acquiesced in Dong Zhuo's abolition, the rest of the ministers, except for a few people, dared not comply.
The original imperial party, with Lu Zhi being expelled from the court by Dong Zhuo before, Cai Yong was not invited because of the last incident, and the imperial party was leaderless and Dong Zhuo was powerful, and no one dared to refute it, and the abolition was decided.
After that, Dong Zhuo was the heart of the Anshi people, listened to the words of Zhou Bi in the service, and sealed Yuan Shao as the Bohai Taishou, and no longer held accountable.
On the fifth day of the ninth month, Dong Zhuo once again convened the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Jiade Hall to discuss the meeting, and officially supported Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor.
Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair a little ignorantly, his mother's cry came from his ears, and his newly married wife Tang sat beside him obediently.
For the throne, Liu Wei didn't attach much importance to it, and the ministers forced him to abdicate, so he would retire, and he could also worry less, and he didn't have to be busy with state affairs every day.
Dong Zhuo pressed the sword in front of him, and loudly said that Liu Biao had some characteristics that were not suitable for the emperor, such as frivolous manners, cowardly personality, and dozens of articles were displayed in a full manner, Liu Zhuo didn't know that he would have so many shortcomings, and after that, Dong Zhuo began to comment on the crimes of the Empress Dowager He.
Liu Wei turned his head, looked at He Hou, who was already full of tears and despair, and frowned: "Dong Qing, have you said it?" The Queen Mother has nothing to do with this. ”
Dong Zhuo glanced at Liu Wei, knelt down on one knee and said, "Please Your Majesty Zen seat!" ”
"Your Majesty, please take a meditation position!" Behind him, a large number of officials who had already compromised with Dong Zhuo knelt down and shouted.
Liu Wei nodded, stood up, He Hou's cry became louder, and in the audience, Shang Shuding was out of the queue and roared at Dong Zhuo: "Thief Dong Zhuo, how dare you do this trick to deceive the sky?" Liu Wei walked down the steps step by step, took off the seal and sword representing the Son of Heaven from his waist, looked at Liu Xie with a serious face, and said softly: "Xie, from today on, this throne is yours." ”
Liu Xie solemnly took the seal ribbon and sword, his eyes flashed with incomprehensible indifference in his eyes, only to see Liu Xie hanging the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist, holding the seal in his hand, and said indifferently to Liu Bian: "Thank you Brother Huang, it's just that this dignity is different, and I hope that Brother Huang will not forget in the future, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers!" ”
The hand that wanted to hug Liu Xie froze in place, and Liu Wei looked at Liu Xie in disbelief, as if he knew his younger brother on the first day.
Liu Xie didn't look at his brother again, his expression returned to solemnity, walked to the dragon chair step by step, sat on the dragon chair, accepted the worship of the ministers, and tried his best to hide the excitement in his heart on his immature face, but his arms trembled because of excitement.
"Your Majesty!" The monarch and the minister were in place, Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager He and the imperial concubine Tang were sent away by the soldiers, and the abolition of the establishment was a complete success for Dong Zhuo, and the Marquis Dong Min stepped forward, bowed down and said with a smile: "The Taiwei has the merit of supporting the establishment, and His Majesty is still young, and the affairs of the court and politics should be handled by the highly respected people to help His Majesty, but the post of Taiwei, the minister thinks that it is not enough, and the minister asks His Majesty to promote the Taiwei to the Minister of State." ”
"This ......" Liu Xie frowned and said: "Taiwei is already ranked as the third prince, and besides, my Han has already abolished the prime minister, and now he is tampering with the ancestral rule, which is not good!" ”
"Your Majesty's words are not true!" Li Ru said indifferently: "Time has changed, and now the Taiwei has made meritorious contributions to His Majesty, if he is not rewarded, won't it make the soldiers of the world feel cold?" ”
Dong Zhuo straightened his waist and glanced at Liu Xie lightly, with a bit of threat in his eyes.
The excitement that was originally due to ascending the throne was like a basin of cold water poured down in an instant, and Liu Xie realized that when he became the emperor, he didn't do whatever he wanted, he glanced at Dong Zhuo with some fear, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will be promoted to the title of Taiwei as the minister of state, but you can enter the court without worshipping, and go to the palace with a sword!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dong Zhuo came out of the ranks, respectfully saluted Liu Xie, since then, Dong Zhuo has been in power in the court for a while, not only holding heavy troops, but also Lu Bu, Huaxiong and other fierce generals as their minions, Yuan Kui has since said that he is not sick, Ye Zhao also cleaned up the mansion in the city, and completely moved out of Luoyang.
As the two retreated, Dong Zhuo's behavior became more and more arrogant.
"Lord, yesterday, Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao broke into the Drunken Immortal Building, sinking the fish, closing the moon, and the shameful flowers were humiliated and died, and the Drunken Immortal Building was also imprisoned." In the camp of the West Garden, when Zhang Yue, who had been lurking in Luoyang, appeared beside Ye Zhao again, she still had a few scars on her body and bowed to Ye Zhao.
"Drunken Immortal Building has always been known as the first floor of Luoyang, and the scholars who come and go are like crossing the river, and the four beauties each have a large number of scholars who are sought after, but at this time, no one stands up?" When Ye Zhao heard this, he sneered, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, Simei is the secret room that I have carefully cultivated, and I was harmed by this Li Dao, this revenge, he will definitely revenge it one day!" By the way, you only said Sanmei, what about the wild goose? ”
"Luo Yan was taken away by Yuan Shao and Wang Yun beforehand, and now the drunken immortal building has no imperial power to take care of, and the two of them want to take one person away, and the slave and maid did not dare to do it without the lord's order." Zhang Yue bowed and said.
"Yuan Shao? Wang Yun? Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then where is she now?" ”
"In Wang Yun's mansion, he didn't leave with Yuan Shao."
"Interesting! Is the beauty trick? When Ye Zhao heard this, his eyes flashed and he shook his head and smiled: "I must keep in touch with her, it may be of great use in the future." ”
"Whoa!"
"How's the injury?" Ye Zhao stood up, looked at Zhang Yue's injuries, and frowned.
"Slaves and maids are fine, they are used to it." Zhang Yue didn't care.
"Go find the military medic and have a look." Ye Zhao frowned.
"Thank you for your concern, the slave and maid will go." Zhang Yue nodded, turned around and left.
"In addition, I have said many times that in the future, you will call yourself the last general, you are my general, although you do not appear in front of people, but to me, you are no less important than anyone else, can you remember?" Ye Zhao said to Zhang Yue's back.
Zhang Yue's figure paused, and then turned back to Ye Zhao and saluted: "Remember!" With that, he turned and strode away.
Ye Zhao smiled, handed a letter of worship written in his hand to Dian Wei and said, "Order someone to hand it over to Dong Zhuo, and we should also go home." ”
"Whoa!" Dian Wei glanced at Ye Zhao puzzled, agreed, and went to do it.
"Ye Zhao wants to see me? Why not come in person? Half an hour later, in Dong Zhuo's prime minister's mansion, Dong Zhuo took the post in his hand, swept his eyes twice, threw it away, and looked at Ye Zhao in front of him.
"This is the meaning of the lord, and the lowly position is only responsible for conveying it, as for why the lord does not come, it is inconvenient for the lowly to ask." The guards stood as straight as a javelin.
"Ye Zhao's people, are they all so rude?" Dong Zhuo snorted and snorted coldly: "Tell Ye Zhao that if you want to see me, you will come to see me in person, the nature of things is heavy, and you may not be able to find time to meet him!" ”
The lowly will inform the lord of all the words of the prime minister, and if there is nothing else, the lowly will retire!
"Father-in-law!" After the guard left, Li Ru picked up the worship post, read the content of the worship post, and looked at Dong Zhuo suspiciously: "Since Ye Zhao has no intention of competing with his father-in-law, he is willing to withdraw from Luoyang, why doesn't his father-in-law agree to him?" That King Hongnong is useless in our hands, and if there is a bad pool, it will be tired of his father-in-law's reputation. ”
"In the past, the old man wanted to join forces with him to rule the world, but he didn't allow it, and now when he sees that the old man is powerful, he wants to retreat?" Dong Zhuo sneered and looked at the post and said, "How can there be such a good thing in the world? If he doesn't leave the soldiers and horses, the old man will not be able to discipline him and get out of this Luoyang! ”
"Father-in-law!" Li Ru smiled bitterly: "Don't forget, that Ye Zhao is now stationed in the West Garden, although his father-in-law is now strong and strong, it is not difficult to defeat him, but it is not easy to kill him, don't forget, that Ye Zhao still has heavy troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, even if he is defeated, as long as he retreats to the Tiger Prison, we will have 100,000 male soldiers, and I can't help him, on the contrary, if he invites the world's heroes to attack, and the danger of losing the Tiger Prison is great, we are waiting for no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the heroes of the world!" ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "The abolition of the prime minister is to respect the edict of the first emperor, and Ye Zhao's background is not high, how can Shandong Haojie listen to his orders?" ”
The tiger prison is locked in Ye Zhao's hands, for Dong Zhuo, this is indeed a big killer, if it is really as Li Ru said, then although he is powerful now, he is being held by Ye Zhao?
"Didn't my father-in-law forget that Yuan Shao?" Li Ru smiled bitterly: "What if this person joins forces with Ye Zhao?" ”
"This ......" Dong Zhuo was a little hesitant when he heard this, took the post from Li Ru's hand, looked at Li Ru and said: "But if I let him go, I am unwilling, and almost all the new army in Xiyuan will be taken away by him." ”
That's not a few thousand, but 20,000 Xiyuan new troops, plus Ye Zhao's original men and horses and a colonel from the Bingzhou army, under Ye Zhao's command, Luoyang plus the Tiger Prison Pass, there are nearly 30,000 horses, even if Dong Zhuo is now in power, but he is also greedy for these 30,000 troops.
"Father-in-law, don't lose a big one because of a small one!" Li Ru hurriedly said: "Even if Ye Zhao has an army of 30,000, but there is no place to live, even if he is allowed to leave Luoyang and enter the Central Plains, he will only compete with the princes of the Central Plains, and we will sit and watch, but if he is forced to stay in Luoyang, sooner or later he will definitely have a battle with us, no matter what the victory or defeat, he will be seen as a joke by the Kwantung princes, if the losses are too heavy, it is more likely to attract the Kwantung princes to attack him!" ”
Dong Zhuo pressed the salute on the table fiercely and said: "Just Ye Zhao, I have Feng Xian by my side, and Wen You is planning for me, and the strength of the army is several times that of him, why do you need to compromise with him?" And you let people ask the Son of Heaven to edict and order him to relieve the military power, as for other matters, let me discuss it later, see how he goes? ”
"Father-in-law, at this time, the father-in-law's position is not yet stable, if the Son of Heaven edicts, and the princes do not respect it, it will reduce the military prestige of the father-in-law, and it is not desirable!" Li Ru was shocked when he heard this.
"Do it!" Dong Zhuo looked a little unhappy.
Li Ru opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh helplessly: "Since this is the case, Ru please go and do this in person, see that Ye Zhao, and you can also listen to his truth and hope that your father-in-law will be gracious." ”
"Accurate!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand impatiently.
"Confucianism retires!" Li Ru said goodbye, and seeing that Dong Zhuo no longer paid attention to it, he could only retreat helplessly.
