The mobilization of Dong Zhuo's army outside the city seemed to have a faint tendency to attack the city, which had already alarmed all the forces in the city. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the wèn Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) For a while, the wind was loud and everyone was in danger.
The news that tens of thousands of troops in the state were dispersed overnight, and all the forces in the city had already learned the news.
At this moment, Yuan Kui was shocked, as soon as Ding Yuan's army left, it was equivalent to losing the containment of Dong Zhuo outside the city, so that with the power of his Yuan family alone, it would never be possible to pose a threat to Dong Zhuo again, and Dong Zhuo could no longer be suppressed.
Originally, he did have the intention to unite all the forces in the city, everyone formed a coalition together, and then cooperated with Ding Yuan, first forcibly occupied the city gate controlled by Dong Zhuo, and kept Dong Zhuo out of the city, relying on the city wall of Luoyang City, holding it for a period of time, as long as he issued an order to let the soldiers and horses of all states and counties in the world come to Luoyang, then Dong Zhuo had only one way to retreat back to Xiliang.
However, if you want to form a coalition army, you must first befriend Liu Yi, without Liu Yi's cooperation, no one can fight with Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan were killed and retreated twenty or thirty miles in the first battle, and he felt for a while that Dong Zhuo was just a strong voice, but in fact he was a paper tiger, and if he really wanted to fight, he didn't have to be afraid of Dong Zhuo.
In fact, no one knew that Yuan Kui and Ding Yuan secretly intersected, and Ding Yuan was sent by Yuan Kui to inform him of sending troops to Beijing. He felt that as long as Ding Yuan fought against Dong Zhuo again and sent troops to help, in this way, he could defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. In this way, he felt that he could no longer put down his body to make friends with Liu Yi. This is also the real reason why he first asked Cai Yong to meet Liu Yi on his behalf, but he did not show up to meet Liu Yi. Of course, Yuan Kui was interested in uniting with Liu Yi to form an alliance. He didn't know the bottom of his heart, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Liu Yi would agree to join him, he was afraid that when he met Liu Yi and Liu Yi about it, Liu Yi would not agree. He won't be able to get off the stage.
However, he must not have imagined that it was only a few days before things changed.
Hearing that Dong Zhuo led thousands of men and horses into the city, and that it was Lu Bu who opened the way for him, he regretted that his intestines were blue, and he regretted that he should not have formed an alliance to resist Dong Zhuo earlier.
He wanted to be in a hurry, and immediately went to discuss with Liu Yang, the city guard, and others how to resist Dong Zhuo. But before he left, Dong Zhuo sent someone to send an invitation.
Yuan Kui knew that this time Dong Zhuo was menacing, and the army outside the city was dispatched. At this time, it will definitely not be a good thing to invite him to a banquet. The last time he feasted at Wen Mingyuan, he had already exposed his hideous fangs and his ambitions, if it weren't for Ding Yuan's presence at that time. I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's mention of the abolition of the emperor has already been a foregone conclusion. If King Chen Liu, who is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, ascends the throne as the emperor, then all the affairs of this court in the future will be decided by Dong Zhuo alone. He Yuan Kui and the Yuan family have no place in this court.
What to do? It was too late to form a coalition army. This time I went to the banquet, it was bound to be for the sake of abolishing the emperor. He Yuan Kui was unwilling. Unwillingly, Dong Zhuo was in power.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Dong Zhuo's banquet or not, Dong Zhuo has already made it clear that the carriage and horses are not discussed, even if the matter of abolishing the emperor cannot be discussed, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will use strong means to achieve his goal.
In the end, Yuan Kui decided to go to the banquet, but this time, he led the soldiers and horses with him. Yuan Kui felt that last time, with Ding Yuan blocking him, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to settle the matter, but this time, without Ding Yuan, he could only take it.
At the same time, Liu Yi had already entered the palace to join Tai Shici, and Dong Zhuo led the army into the city, and there were scouts who came to tell him, and similarly, Dong Zhuo did not send an invitation to Liu Yi. It can be seen that Liu Yi is definitely regarded as a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side, this matter of abolishing the emperor, once it is decided, Dong Zhuo's first thing to deal with is himself. But now, Liu Yi can only be prepared for the contingency and wait and see what happens.
Like the last time in Wen Mingyuan, Dong Zhuo also hosted a banquet for all the officials of the DPRK and China, but there were many fewer people coming, like Lu Zhi and others, he did not participate again. The main thing is that Liu Yi has already sent a message to Lu Zhi, asking him and Min Gong to wait for him in the palace and not to go to Dong Zhuo's banquet again.
Liu Yi also knew everything about the last time in Wen Mingyuan, and knew that according to Lu Zhi's loyal and fiery character, he would inevitably quarrel with Dong Zhuo on the spot, so this time he would never be as hasty as last time, and it was possible that Lu Zhi would really be killed by Dong Zhuo on the spot.
Like last time, Dong Zhuo was exquisite, inviting the ministers to the table as if nothing had happened, and then after three rounds of drinking, the trembling appearance of the hundred officials also fell in Dong Zhuo's eyes. It's Yuan Kui, he led the soldiers and horses to come with him, and now thousands of soldiers and horses are facing his soldiers and horses outside the Yamen Hall of Zhongshu Province, and there is a faint situation to compete with him, which makes Dong Zhuo very unhappy, when he looks at Yuan Kui, his eyes are cold, and Dong Zhuo has already killed Yuan Kui at this moment. However, he didn't put Yuan Kui in his eyes, because he had the invincible Lu Bu by his side.
Dong Zhuo this time, it was more direct than last time, he Huo Di stood up from the main seat, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and shouted: "Today is weak, you can't worship the temple; I will follow the story of Yiyin and Huo Guang, abolish the emperor as the king of Hongnong, and set up the king of Chen Liu as the emperor. There are disobedient people...... Chop! β
With a slash, the already trembling officials were so frightened that they sat on pins and needles. They already knew that this was the case, Dong Zhuo invited them to the banquet, it must be for the unfinished business last time, but when Dong Zhuo said it again, the ministers were frightened and dared not do it.
If no one objected, it was so decided at this time, Yuan Kui peeked at the ministers present, and found that none of them had the intention of speaking out against it, even Liu Yang, the city guard, was silent at the moment, and sat dumbfounded, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. In fact, it really doesn't have much to do with Liu Yang, anyway, no matter what, this emperor won't be his turn. Even if there is no Dong Zhuo, it will not be his turn to take power in this matter in the court, and his status as a clan relative is extremely embarrassing, and many times, he is just a role of beating the side drum. As long as Dong Zhuo doesn't cut him, so if Dong Zhuo doesn't directly threaten him, he won't openly stand up against Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Yuan Kui hoped that there would be honest officials like Lu Zhi and Zhang Jun who were not afraid of death, but it was a pity. None of them were there. Cai Yong, another person who is known for his integrity, Cai Yong and Cai's family, can't come because of their illness.
There was no way, Yuan Kui had to look at Yuan Shao's nephew, the lieutenant of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, who came with him.
Yuan Shao naturally knew what Yuan Kui meant, and Yuan Kui had already communicated with him earlier. He also knew that this matter was related to the success or failure of his Yuan family, and it was not until he didn't stand up. Originally, he hoped to stand up with Yuan Shu in this matter, but Yuan Shu, that straw bag, was so timid that he died, and when he heard that he was asked to sing a duet with Dong Zhuo, he actually couldn't make excuses.
There is no way. Yuan Shaoqiang was calm, but a handsome face that was quite handsome was lying a little blue at the moment, and he drank a glass of wine to strengthen his courage. Gritted his teeth and stepped forward, and said loudly: "Today, the Holy One has not been on the throne for a few days, and there is nothing immoral, if you want to abolish the throne, do you want to rebel?" β
Dong Zhuo naturally recognized Yuan Shao. Knowing that Yuan Kui was also prepared today, he would definitely make trouble, but he knew that he still knew, and he still couldn't suppress his anger and said: "The world is up to me!" I'm doing it now. Who would dare not obey! Do you look down on my sword? β
Choked, Dong Zhuo was like last time. If you don't agree with each other, you will draw your sword and kill people.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Now even if he is completely against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao has to stubbornly resist to the end, even if the two sides send troops to fight, anyway, his Yuan family's soldiers and horses are also outside the Zhongshu Provincial Government, so Yuan Shao also drew his sword and glared: "Your sword is sharp, my sword is not disadvantaged!" β
Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao drew their swords to each other. Suddenly, there seemed to be a strong killing intent floating between the large banquet halls, which made all the ministers silent and dare not speak.
"How daring! Today, even if you are the fourth and third dukes of Yuanmen, if you dare to speak out against the abolition of the emperor, you will be beheaded by the sword! Dong Zhuo didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so bold, he actually dared to draw his sword in front of him, and suddenly turned from anger to rage, and rushed forward to kill Yuan Shao.
"If you want to kill Yuan Shao, why do you need your father-in-law to do it? Wait for the child to take his father's dog's head! Dong Zhuo hadn't rushed in front of Yuan Shao yet, there was a figure that was faster than him, and the murderous aura was even stronger, only to see a flash of cold light, and with a snort, a halberd would take Yuan Shao directly.
Bite!
Yuan Shao suddenly saw that it was Lu Bu, and his heart was horrified, but Lu Bu was too anxious, so he had to raise his sword to block it, and with a ding, the long sword in his hand was picked up by Lu Bu.
Swish!
As soon as Lu Bu's halberd turned, the crescent moon of Fang Tian's halberd was about to cut off Yuan Shao's head.
With Yuan Shao's strength, at most he is a second-rate military general's peak quasi-first-class level, far inferior to Lu Bu, if he can calmly fight with Lu Bu, he may be able to resist a few rendezvous, but now, he can't even resist a rendezvous. Also, Yuan Shao's generals, they are not qualified to sit at the table, so only Chun Yuqiong, who is also one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, is there, but he is not beside Yuan Shao, as long as he stares dryly from a distance.
I'm dying! Yuan Shao sighed in horror in his heart, and he really saw how powerful Lu Bu was.
"No!"
Just when Yuan Shao's life was already in danger, he broke off his drink, which made Lu Bu suddenly pause, and the crescent of Fang Tian's halberd was worthy of Yuan Shao's neck, at this time, as long as Lu Bu pulled it gently, Yuan Shao's head fell to the ground.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly, and the scene was so quiet that you could hear a needle falling to the ground.
During the banquet, Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao, who almost died, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down like rain.
It was Dong Zhuo's chief strategist Li Ru who stopped speaking, he walked to Dong Zhuo's side, and whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear: "Yuan Men IV and Three Dukes, protΓ©gΓ©s have a history all over the world, killing the Yuan family is afraid that it will cause a lot of unexpected trouble, now the Yuan family still has soldiers and horses outside, the Yuan family is also a large number of generals, among which there are many strong generals, there are many generals who can fight with Liu Yi at the beginning, so, in order to avoid immediately causing a scuffle in the city, now the abolition of the emperor has not been really successful, the lord should not be in a hurry to kill Yuan Shao." And, if you want to kill, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise, you can't kill it for the time being! β
Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled wildly, knowing that what Li Ru said was extremely true, so he had to slowly suppress the anger in his heart, turned his head to Yuan Kui and said: "Yuan Shao is your nephew, he was rude to me first, and he should have been killed, but now I will spare it for the time being, but what do you say about this abolition?" β
Now that the knife is on Yuan Shao's neck, and Yuan Kui's knees are gone, he has already regarded Yuan Shao as a kiss. He also couldn't imagine that this Dong Zhuo was really so arrogant, saying that killing people would really kill people, and he asked Yuan Shao to stand up against Dong Zhuo. I just want to get more benefits for the Yuan family, but if my life is gone, what's the point of fighting for these again? So. At this moment, Yuan Kui also had to bow his head, so he had to say to Dong Zhuo: "One qiΔ, just follow what Dong Gong said." β
"Haha!" Dong Zhuo saw that Yuan Kui had already relented and agreed, knowing that there would be no more obstacles to the abolition of the emperor, even if someone obstructed it, it was not worth mentioning, he laughed proudly: "Okay." Those who dare to obstruct the big discussion. Engage in military law! β
Dong Zhuo spoke with a wild laugh, with incomparable domineering and murderous intent, and suddenly, the ministers were shocked. Seeing that Yuan Kui did not dare to oppose Dong Zhuo's proposal anymore with heavy troops in his hands, how could they dare to oppose it again, they expressed their stance for a while, and followed Dong Zhuo's proposal.
Only then did Lu Bu let go of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was not Yuan Shu. He has always thought highly of himself, and he still has a little bit of integrity in his heart, after this incident, he can't be like Yuan Shu. After being caught by Liu Yi as a hostage, he can still be cheeky in Luoyang with peace of mind. At this moment, Yuan Shao, he felt that he had no face to stay in Luoyang anymore. So he carried the sword in his hand, didn't say a word, and didn't even know how to go home, so he directly took his generals and soldiers, hung the military captain's talisman at the east gate, and went straight to Jizhou.
At this time, Li Ru whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear again: "Lord, strike while the iron is hot, since all the ministers have agreed to abolish the establishment, why not immediately lead the ministers into the palace to force the palace?" Let this matter be settled today, so that there will not be long nights and dreams. β
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that what Li Ru said was indeed such a truth, and today here, Yuan Kui agreed to abolish the establishment because Yuan Shao was subdued, but he may not be convinced in his heart. If the matter is not officially settled today, after letting them go back, it may not be that Yuan Kui will not talk back. Or, if Yuan Kui is allowed to go back and use the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Sect forces to fight against him, at that time, even if he can defeat the soldiers and horses of the Yuan family, I am afraid that he will have to turn his hands and feet, so it would be best to be able to do the matter of abolishing the emperor without going to war. What's more, changing an emperor without blood can also save many people in the world from going wrong and wrong.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Since all of you adults feel that the saint has no talent and no master today, and recently I heard that the saint is only in his teens, and he has even accepted a concubine, and his hair has not yet grown, so he is so greedy and lustful, is it a generation of Ming Jun?" Does Mrs. Yuan know about this concubine? β
"This, this...... Heard...... Yes......" Yuan Kui said in a hesitant manner.
The ministers rolled their eyes for a while, because the matter of the emperor's concubine was actually promoted by Yuan Kui, but now Yuan Kui said that he had just heard about it, which couldn't help but make the ministers feel a little disdainful in their hearts. Of course, there is also contempt for Dong Zhuo, which can be said to be a crime that you want to add, what is the wordless? He himself said that today's saints have not grown up, even if they accept concubines, it is difficult to cave the house, how can they be greedy for flowers and lustful?
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo snorted heavily, and said with a gloomy face: "Such a talented and immoral emperor, even if he reigns for a day, he feels that his heart is hard to hide, since all the adults feel the same way, then, now why don't we enter the palace together, and let the emperor take the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, and let him give up the throne to King Chen Liu, who has both ability and political integrity?" β
"Huh? This is ...... so urgent."
Hearing someone whispering an objection, Dong Zhuo swept his eyes coldly and said coldly: "What? Do you think this matter is too urgent? Are you just watching the Great Han Society let such an emperor be corrupted? Don't you have the idea of supporting the Han family and revitalizing the Han dynasty in your hearts? β
"What Dong Gong said is very true, then, then I will enter the palace together now and make a statement to the emperor!"
At this point, the overall situation has been decided, and it is a matter of time to abolish the emperor one day sooner or later, so it can only rely on Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo gave an order, took Yuan Kui, and asked Lu Bu to lead thousands of troops to put the officials in the middle, and the group flocked to the palace.
The soldiers and horses of the Yuan family were taken away by Yuan Shao, and the rest, Yuan Kui had to let them go back to the Yuan Mansion first, he is now in Dong Zhuo's hands, no matter how many soldiers and horses can't save him, it is better to let Yin endure and make plans later.
The soldiers in the palace are all from all sides, but now their lords are all under Dong Zhuo's control, so naturally they will not move, so they can only let them go, and let Dong Zhuo take the army to hold the ministers hostage into the palace.
After a while, the ministers were already outside the emperor's bedroom.
And Liu Yi was also prepared, and the two thousand new Yulin troops who had been gathered by the soldiers were also dressed in armor and carrying the cold Da Mo knife in their hands, and they were all lined up in the garden outside the emperor's bedroom.
Liu Yi even brought the war horse, and at this moment he and Tai Shici sat on the back of the horse, quietly watching the crowd of soldiers and horses.
"The emperor's dormitory, what is the matter? Carrying soldiers and armor to break into the palace without permission, can you know that this is a capital crime!? Tai Shi Ci shouted coldly.
"Humph! What a majesty! Dong Zhuo came out of the crowd and walked to the front and shouted: "Hundreds of civil and military officials came to see the emperor and asked him to come out quickly to listen to the discussion." β
Dong Zhuo didn't even bother to say the polite words of asking for a visit at the moment, and directly said to let the emperor come out.
"The emperor has finished his meal and rested, if there is anything, he can discuss it in the court tomorrow. It's okay to step down. Liu Yi knew their intentions, but he would not take the initiative to say it, but said lightly.
"Something! Big deal! Dong Zhuo said arrogantly: "The emperor has no talent and no virtue, and he is no longer suitable to be the emperor, let him come out and give the throne to his brother Chen Liuwang, so as not to let him be ruined." β
"Bold! The emperor is abolished, is it up to you to have the final say? Liu Yi shouted categorically. (To be continued......)
