[Evil on evil]

After Dong Zhuo was defeated by Sun Jian, he finally retreated to Chang'an, after that, Yuan Shao sent people to attack Sun Jian's base, and the contradictions between the two strongest princes in the anti-Dong alliance, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, intensified, and the Kwantung coalition army was officially divided, and the fight against Dong did not end.

After Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, he did not learn from the experience in Luoyang, and his rule was even more brutal, and soon he was not satisfied with the position of Xiangguo and simply promoted himself to the position of Taishi, and compared himself with Jiang Taigong, wanting to be called "Shangfu". In and out of the crown prince special green cover Jinhua car, this car is decorated with gold flowers, the bow head of the car cover is dragon claw shape, there are two carriages, extremely luxurious and noble, the people of the time call it "pole car", as if Dong Zhuo will be the next emperor.

At the same time, when the civil and military officials met Dong Zhuo, they had to report their names and worship under the car, but Dong Zhuo did not return the salute at all. Dong Zhuo gradually became more and more aggressive in oppressing ministers, brutalizing the people, and being extravagant. And because of Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi's affairs, he began to become distrustful of the people around him and became more authoritarian, and due to his lack of security, Dong Zhuo asked his adopted son Lu Bu to be by his side at all times to ensure his safety.

In order to fill his small treasury, Dong Zhuo discarded the five baht coins and made a large number of shoddy small coins, which completely destroyed the economic operation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, causing the whole country to rapidly inflation and high prices, and the price of Yishi Valley had soared to tens of thousands of dollars at that time.

At that time, Dong Zhuo built a dock fort of the same scale as the Chang'an city wall on his fief more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, which was seven zhang high and thick, and it was even more blatant to name it as "Long Live Dock" (that is, Hewu), and did not put Emperor Han Xian in his eyes at all. He hoarded a large amount of gold, silver, treasure, and grain from Luoyang and other places in the city, and the grain stored in it was said to be enough to last for thirty years. Dong Zhuo said arrogantly: "If my great cause succeeds, then the whole world is mine; If the great cause fails, I can enjoy it for the rest of my life in the Banzai Dock. He handed over the government to his cronies, and he lived in Banzai Dock.

After Dong Zhuo gained power, he began to gradually seal his own people, and after moving the capital to Chang'an, he was even more unscrupulous. He first named his mother Chiyang Jun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, and his status was equal to that of a royal princess. At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as the left general, named the Marquis, and then named his son-in-law Niu Fu and his relative Dong Yue as the Zhonglang general, and also named his nephew Dong Cheng as the servant, the general leader of the forbidden army, of course, his granddaughter can not be wronged, and Dong Bai, who has not yet reached the end of the year, was also named the king of Yang. In the end, as long as it is a child held by Dong Zhuo's wife and concubine, the men are all crowned, the women are also rewarded, and wearing gold and silver is indispensable. The relatives of the Dong family have been awarded official titles one after another, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and it is indispensable.

At that time, in order to express their hatred for Dong Zhuo, the common people all over the world sang the ballad of "Thousand Miles of Grass" everywhere, hoping that he would die as soon as possible.

[Inevitable death]

Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior, and the intention of seeking to usurp the throne have long been seen by many people, so everyone is ready to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Many people have plotted and even assassinated Dong Zhuo, but most of them ended in leakage failure.

Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, was picked up by the former general He Jin, and he saw Dong Zhuo's unscrupulous chaos in the eyes of the government, so he wore armor under the court uniform, and went to see Dong Zhuo with a saber to prepare for the opportunity to assassinate. After he finished the interview with Dong Zhuo, he took advantage of the opportunity of Dong Zhuo to send him out, and suddenly took out the knife, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo himself was extraordinary in force and strength, and this knife did not bring obvious harm to Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo dodged this knife, he scolded Wu Fu for harboring evil intentions and rebelling and bullying him. Wu Fu replied loudly to him: "You are not my monarch, and I am not your courtier, how can there be any rebellion?" On the contrary, you are causing trouble to the country, plotting to usurp the master, the crime is extremely heinous, I am ready to die today, I want to tear you up in the market to thank the world! Wu Fu was killed.

After moving the capital to Chang'an, many scholars and doctors were so impoverished that they couldn't even live a normal life. At that time, Zheng Tai was very wealthy, so he held a banquet every day to invite scholars and doctors to attend. On the one hand, he relieved many people, but on the other hand, it also gave him the opportunity to conspire with Xun You, He Hao, etc., they got together to discuss how to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately it was leaked in the end, Xun You and He Hao were arrested, and only Zheng Tai escaped from Chang'an and went to Yuan Shu (there are other records about this matter).

But even so, there are precedents for so many people to fail, but there are still people who have not given up. On the contrary, the conspiracy against Dong Zhuo has become more and more intense, and the status of the participants has become more prominent and important. In fact, at that time, the heavyweight ministers of the court, Situ Wang Yun, Shangshu Shooter Sun Rui, Sili Lieutenant Huang Wan, and Shangshu Zheng Gongye and others had discussed the killing of Dong Zhuo many times. Once, Wang Yun and Shi Sun Rui, Yang Zan and others secretly discussed the abolition of Dong Zhuo in the name of worshipping God on stage, and they agreed that the time and place were in place and the people were ready, and they could attack Dong Zhuo, but because Dong Zhuo was usually heavily guarded, and he himself was highly forced, the time had not yet come.

But soon a key figure sent the final piece of the puzzle. As already explained, Lu Bu, as Dong Zhuo's righteous son, guards him at any time, and with Lu Bu's bravery, he may not be able to match it in the Three Kingdoms era. But Lu Bu also has his own troubles, Dong Zhuo's personality is not very good, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo accompany each other day and night, once Lu Bu accidentally offended Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo didn't say a word and then threw the halberd at Lu Bu, if it wasn't for Lu Bu hiding fast, I was afraid that he would be worried about his life, Lu Bu endured it and immediately apologized to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo forgave him.

But Lu Bu is not a good-natured person, so Lu Bu is not angry in his heart and secretly harbors hatred. And Lu Bu often goes to Dong Zhuo, and when he goes, he gets along with one of Dong Zhuo's maidservants (the prototype of Diao Chan), although Dong Zhuo may not punish Lu Bu for this, but Lu Bu still feels uneasy in his heart. Because when he was in the state, Wang Yun had a very good relationship with him, so he went to Wang Yun to talk to him, but the meat buns and dogs were gone, and Wang Yun would let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Wang Yun immediately wooed Lu Bu to join the gang, but Lu Bu didn't agree at first, he thought that he was Dong Zhuo's righteous son, how could he betray his father? Wang Yun enlightened him and said: "Your surname is Lu, his surname is Dong, and he is not a flesh and blood family." Besides, Dong Zhuo is now a national thief who everyone has to condemn, do you still recognize him as a father? When he throws his sword at you, does he treat you like a son? In the end, Wang Yun finally persuaded Lu Bu. In this way, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the east wind is blowing quickly.

In April of the third year of Chuping (192), on this day, Emperor Xian recovered from his illness and passed the edict to meet the ministers in the Weiyang Palace. Lü Bu sent his fellow townsman and cavalry lieutenant Li Su to lead more than a dozen soldiers to guard the palace gate in the form of palace guards, while Lü Bu hid the edict of killing Dong Zhuo in his arms. After Dong Zhuo entered the palace gate, Li Su led the ambush soldiers to rush up and raise swords and guns to kill, Dong Zhuo was caught off guard and exclaimed: "Where is Lu Bu?" Come and save me!" Lu Bu turned out and shouted: "The emperor has an edict to kill the thief Dong Zhuo!" Immediately killed Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's confidant Tian Jing, the chief bookkeeper, hurriedly pounced on Dong Zhuo's corpse and was also killed by Lu Bu. Lu Bu killed three of Dong Zhuo's cronies in a row, and the others were afraid and didn't dare to move. Subsequently, Wang Yun and Lü Bu successfully took control of the imperial court, arrested all Dong Zhuo's henchmen and imprisoned them, and wiped out Dong Zhuo's three clans.

When the officials and people of Chang'an City heard that Dong Zhuo was executed, they all celebrated the extermination of the national thief.

Dong Zhuo eventually died, and his beloved Banzai Wu did not save his life.

Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo's death is not the end, and the peace they ushered in is only a flash in the pan.
