【The Demon King is in power】

After deposing the young emperor Liu Wei and supporting the Han Emperor Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo actually controlled the entire imperial court. At this time, Dong Zhuo's eyes have been covered by huge power, his ambition is over-inflated, he is self-respecting, empty-eyed, and misbehaving, everything in the court is up to him, and the appointment and dismissal of ministers also require his consent.

Before the abolition, Dong Zhuo had already promoted himself to the rank of lieutenant, became one of the three dukes, and was granted the power to lead the armies of all walks of life and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the whole country. After the new monarch is established, that's not to mention. Dong Zhuo thought that Liu Xie's ability to become the emperor was all his own credit, and others were far from being able to compare with him, so he simply restored the position of Xiangguo in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty and held it by himself, and proclaimed himself a county marquis. Dong Zhuo's power is so great that even those relatives and eunuchs in the Hengling era are far from being able to compare.

[Reuse the party]

When Dong Zhuo first arrived in Luoyang, although he took over the Son of Heaven to order the princes, as a warlord from the border of the Han Dynasty, he was still looked down upon by many scholars and doctors in Luoyang, not to mention those family of gate lords. Although Dong Zhuo relied on his high power to receive a batch of lolo, he was still not enough in the huge imperial court of the empire, so he began to try his best to win over and reuse the party members who were excluded by the eunuchs back then.

After Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, he immediately asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to send envoys to mourn and sacrifice Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who were persecuted to death by the eunuchs, not only that, but he also restored the previous titles of Chen Fan and others, and promoted their descendants. On the other hand, he tried his best to win over Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao, the leaders of the scholars who were at odds with the eunuchs at that time, and also re-promoted and appointed a large number of party members, such as Zhou Bismu, Shangshu Wu Qiong, Shangshu Zheng Gongye, Changshi He Hao, and Sikong Wu Shishi, hoping that they could be used for their own purposes.

In a sense, the reuse of party members is indeed a good move, which can buy people's hearts and minds and win the gratitude of the scholars. But this trick is not very suitable for Dong Zhuo to use, because Dong Zhuo and the party members are not in harmony, to be precise, those party members are more disciplined and downline, loyal to the country and loyal to the royal family, everyone think about it, if this is not the case, how can they be called party members by the eunuchs!

And Dong Zhuo's way of buying people's hearts is not very appropriate, his behavior is too rude.

At that time, Dong Zhuo admired the talented and famous writer Cai Yong (Cai Wenji's father), so he invited him to join the court as an official. But Cai Yong has been physically and mentally exhausted after so many years, and he is no longer interested in Jinshi, so Dong Zhuo was furious: "I have the power to destroy the three clans, even if Cai Yong is proud, it is just a matter of turning around." Cai Yong had no choice but to apply.

As a result, Dong Zhuo spent a lot of effort to get a group of diehards loyal to the imperial court.

Historically, Dong Zhuo once trusted Shangshu Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, the captain in charge of the Luoyang City Gate, and other party members. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao discussed the abolition of the legislature, but Yuan Shao refused, and Yuan Shao fled to Jizhou alone, and Dong Zhuo was ready to order him to be arrested.

At this time, Wu Qiong, Zhou Bi, and He Hao persuaded him: "The abolition of the king in the court is not something that ordinary people can participate in, Yuan Shao is short-sighted and ignorant of the general situation, he did something wrong and was afraid that you would escape from the capital, not to rebel." Now, if you are too hasty to arrest him and corner, you will force him to rebel. Their Yuan family has been an official in the court for four consecutive generations, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, if Yuan Shao calls on the heroes of the Quartet to oppose you, then all parts of the country will respond and raise troops, so that a large area of land in Shandong will be difficult to control. It is better to announce the pardon of Yuan Shao's sins and appoint him as the taishou of a certain county, so that Yuan Shao will definitely be happy to be forgiven and become an official, and you will have nothing to worry about. ”

Dong Zhuo thought that these words made sense, so he announced the appointment of Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai. Later, Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi recommended Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Shi, Zhang Miao and a group of people to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo named these people as governors of prefectures and counties, and as a result, these people, including Yuan Shao, rose up against Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was angry and finally executed Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu.

【Unreasonable Disorder of Governance】

After Dong Zhuo came to power, he was perverse and brutal.

He once said to his guests, "My appearance is noble!" "When the servant Shi disturbed Long Zongjin, he saw Dong Zhuo report the matter, and he was immediately killed without unsheating his sword.

After Dong Zhuo led the army into the city, he was quickly attracted by the beauties in the palace. So he simply went directly to the emperor's harem** and wantonly occupied the concubines and princesses of the dead Emperor Ling, which was simply undisciplined and lawless. Dong Zhuo also indulged his subordinate soldiers to rush into the inner houses of the emperor's relatives and relatives, forcibly seize property, and did not avoid abducting women, causing people to panic and be precarious.

After Dong Zhuo took control of the country in his hands, the decrees he promulgated were chaotic and even contradictory, and the orders were changed and capricious, everything depended on his personal will. If it is his relatives, friends, and lackeys of the party, then he can be unscrupulous and completely ignore the legal etiquette; But if it is an ordinary person, they will be severely punished, and the unlucky will even be charged with a crime out of nothing.

In February of the first year of Chuping (190), Dong Zhuo sent troops to Yangcheng, where the common people were gathering, and as a result, Dong Zhuo's troops directly began to loot and kill the people. The soldiers killed all the men, brutally cut off their heads, hung them on the wheels, and took the opportunity to rob and assault the women, bringing them and the vast amount of property they had looted back to Luoyang. Then they burned all the men's heads, and gave the women and their wealth to the soldiers, claiming that they were the spoils of their victory over the enemy.

After Dong Zhuo took office, he occasionally invited officials to hold banquets, but ordinary people's actions to win people's hearts and minds were really different in Dong Zhuo's hands. After the three rounds of banquet wine, the atmosphere has been stirred up, and Dong Zhuo is also full of interest, and excitedly presents a small program to help everyone enjoy the wine. He ordered hundreds of rebels from the north to be taken down in the middle of the hall, and then some of them had their tongues gouged out, some of them had their hands and feet cut off, and some of them had their eyes gouged out. On another occasion, Dong Zhuo ordered the volunteers to be wrapped in strips of cloth and then turned upside down with their heads down, then poured oil on them and burned them alive by lighting a fire.

Taiwei Zhang Wen once reproached Dong Zhuo for his rudeness, and Sun Jian once suggested to him to kill Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately Zhang Wen couldn't bear to do it, so Dong Zhuo hated Zhang Wen deeply. After Dong Zhuo came to power, because Zhang Wen refused to take refuge in him, he tortured him to death on the street on the grounds that Zhang Wen and Yuan Shu colluded with each other for fornication.

Dong Zhuo is absurd, kills and kills, and thinks he is already a supergod, but he doesn't know that Skynet is magnificent and not leaky, and it is not that the time has not come.
