Chapter 245: Abolition

After Lu Zhi left, he didn't care about the gains and losses of his official position, and left Luoyang in a hurry, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would send someone to assassinate him, so he made a detour back to his hometown Taigu and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Later, Dong Zhuo really sent someone to chase and kill, but after chasing for several days, there was no trace of Lu Zhi, so he gave up.

After the abolition of the edict was drafted, Dong Zhuo sent someone to send the edict to Yuan's mansion according to Jia Xu's idea, asking Yuan Kui to approve his opinions.

After receiving the draft edict, Yuan Kui thought to himself that whether he agreed or not, it would be difficult to prevent Dong Zhuo from abolishing the establishment. Dong Zhuo, who is in power today, is no longer the frontier general who he wanted to become a young general in the palace a few decades ago, if he obstructs his plan, I am afraid that this person will not take into account the grace of the past, and it doesn't matter if he has an old bone, but what about the Yuan family?

Also, Yuan Shao had already offended Dong Zhuo because of this and fled Luoyang in a hurry, and the Yuan family could not follow in his footsteps and provide any excuse for Dong Zhuo to kill.

Thinking of this, Yuan Kui no longer had any hesitation, and sent someone to summon Dong Zhuo: As discussed in the report.

Lu Zhi fled, Huangfu Song was silent, and Yuan bowed his head, which meant that there was no longer any obstruction to the abolition. So, the next day, on the first day of September in the sixth year of Zhongping, at the fifth watch, all the officials and ministers got the edict again, and Dong Zhuo invited the ministers to the front hall of Chongde Palace, and the court discussed the abolition of major events.

It should be unstoppable, after the officials heard the news, except for Huangfu Songtuo, who was ill, the rest all rushed to Chongde Palace in the continuous autumn rain.

Cao Ju was naturally among the hundred officials, and when he walked into the front of the hall, he couldn't help but be stunned by the bleak autumn scenery in front of him. Next to the Danqi, on the four sides of the temple base, covered with the dead branches and fallen leaves that no one cleans, whether it is the palace willow of the address, or the tall ginkgo biloba and the ancient acacia, because of the erosion of the water for more than three months, the branches are withered, the leaves are yellow, the autumn wind blows, the branches fall and the leaves fall.

I saw that in the bitter wind and rain, the leaves of the red tree and the yellow tree were flying, like paper money thrown during the folk memorial. Bursts of autumn rain hit the flying leaves, making a ticking sound, and the heavy-hearted officials stepped on the dead leaves piled up all over the ground and walked into the front hall of Chongde Palace.

The atmosphere in the hall is more depressing, the emperor's throne is set up in the middle, and there is a curtain hanging this white yarn in the east, which is set up for the Empress Dowager He who is in the court. At this time, the emperor and queen did not come, and Dong Zhuo, whose eyes were like torches, and Yuan Kui, the gray-haired Taifu Yuan Kui, had arrived in advance, Yuan Kui closed his eyes slightly, his face was expressionless, and Dong Zhuo was looking at the hundred officials who were rushing in one by one with a big belly.

After the hundreds of officials were arranged according to their positions, Dong Zhuo gave Tai Changqing a look, and the latter immediately sang: "Respectfully invite the holy driver." ”

The voice landed, and the guard of honor gathered around the pale and fearful young emperor Liu Bian, looking at Liu Bian's expression, it seemed a little reluctant, but he was forcibly pressed on the throne by the not very polite guards.

Cao Ju deliberately glanced at the Empress Dowager He behind the white gauze curtain, but he couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could guess that the Empress Dowager He must be in a chaotic mood at this time.

Indeed, Empress Dowager He's heart at this time was more uncomfortable than frying with a knife and oil, she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what, even if she was snubbed by the first emperor because she killed Wang Meiren, it was not as miserable as the current situation.

Shouldn't she be the regent of the Linchao Dynasty, the heroine of the Commander-in-Chief of all nations? Why didn't anyone salute her and shout long live to her at this moment? Why didn't anyone dare to stand up and say a word for their orphans and widows anymore? Aren't the honorable relatives who share the glory and nobility with the royal family in the court? Could it be that the three princes and nine kings who were favored by the emperor were all frightened by Dong Zhuo, a traitorous male, and cut off their tongues?

After complaining about the heavens and people, Empress Dowager He's eyes were locked on Cao Ju's body again, and there was endless hatred in her heart, hum, Cao Ju, if it wasn't for you killing the brother of the mourning family, He Jin, how could Dong Zhuo enter the Beijing regent, the mourning family and you, not only have the hatred of killing the brother, but also the hatred of the country, one day, once you fall into the hands of the mourning family, the mourning family will let you not survive, and you can't die.

At this moment, next to the white veil curtains, Dong Zhuo's thunderous shout suddenly sounded: "The emperor is selfless, only virtue is blessed, today in mourning, no child's heart, there is a look of insult, the crowd is excited, the hundred bureaucrats have agreed to abolish the king of Hongnong today, and support Chen Liuwang as the emperor." ”

It's just strong words, arrogant and not inferior, is this the tone that a subordinate should have?

Empress Dowager He really wanted to rush out of the white gauze curtain and loudly scold this bullying Dong Zhuo, in the past few days, Empress Dowager He has had a premonition, and she doesn't know how many tears she shed.

In Empress Dowager He's life, only two things are the most precious, the first is her status and power, and the second is naturally her biological son's future.

Once, for the sake of these two things, Empress Dowager He did not hesitate to annoy Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, killed Wang Meiren with her own hands, and almost killed Liu Xie; In order to make Liu Bian sit firmly in the country, he did not hesitate to instigate He Jin to kill his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Dong, and did not hesitate to use his own body to win over the concubine Cao Ju.

Even, to a certain extent, out of consideration for protecting her position in the palace, Empress Dowager He acquiesced to He Jin to summon Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to Luoyang. It's just that the agency has lost its life, and all the hard work in the past has been in vain, and in the end it is just a failure.

Empress Dowager He had the intention of fighting to the death, but she didn't rush out, because she also understood what was the use of rushing out, and could she scold Dong Zhuo angrily to save the situation? Maybe it will make Dong Zhuo angry and angry, and he will take her and her son's lives in advance.

In the hazy eyes of tears, the Empress Dowager He stared at the most miserable scene in the palace, and the Taifu Yuan Kui helped Liu Bian down from the throne, untied the seal, and led him to the position of the courtier in the north to stand up, just standing beside Cao Ju.

Many ministers had tears in their eyes and extremely sad faces, watching the whole process of the abolition, but because of yesterday's lesson, no one dared to oppose it, but just silently watched the process.

The extremely sad Empress Dowager He felt that her body was almost unable to support it, and looked forward to this tragedy ending quickly, but just when she was about to faint, she suddenly heard Dong Zhuo speak again: "Today, the Empress Dowager is reckless in the Jiaofang, wanton in the harem, and has the gift of carrying the wife and aunt, which has nothing to do with the sincerity of Ju. In ancient times, Yi Yin put Taijia and Huo Guang abolished Changyi, written in the canon, praised by later generations, and the queen mother should retire to the deep palace today, and practice etiquette and cultivation, so that she can chase the constitution and comfort public opinion. ”

In the end, it was Chen Liuwang Xie's ascendancy, wearing the scarf taken from the young emperor, being led to the throne by Yuan Kui, sitting in the south, accepting the congratulations of the hundred officials, and Liu Biao, who had just been deposed, also glanced at the ministers and danced in the north.

Among the court, there is one person who is the most excited, and it is naturally Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren. (To be continued.) )
