Chapter Ninety-Three: Fission (3)

After going down, Dong Zhuo returned to Sikong Mansion with a black face, looking very displeased. When Feng Xian heard that Dong Zhuo had returned, he put down what he was doing and went to inquire about the situation in the court.

When Feng Xian saw Dong Zhuo's face so bad, his heart suddenly became a little clear, and he sighed a little and said: "The matter of digging the coffin and killing the corpse and mutilating Wuyang Jun has now spread all over the streets and alleys, and it can be said that it is extremely damaging to your reputation; However, this matter is not an insignificant matter after all, and it cannot be easily concluded without conclusive evidence; I don't know what the outcome of the deliberations of the ministers was, and how the Son of Heaven planned to deal with this matter? ”

"Humph!" Dong Zhuo was depressed, but said: "It's okay not to say it, as soon as you say it, the old man will be angry; That group of bastards actually tried to join forces to force the Son of Heaven to revoke the old man's authority; Hmph, I don't look at who supported the Son of Heaven to ascend the throne, and he dared to shout in front of the old man, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead! ”

"Hmm." When Feng Xian heard this, he couldn't help but groan again, and then said: "Looking at the current situation, it is too passive for us, and we have to launch a counterattack in time." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Send someone to inform Niu Fu that he will lead the army to come overnight, and be sure to come to the capital as soon as possible; At that time, the strong soldiers will be in hand, and if anyone dares to go against the old man again, the old man will destroy him! ”

Feng Xian shook his head and said: "No, it is not enough to have strong soldiers in hand, you also need to control the handle of the minister in your hands in order to be able to hold them hostage." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help asking: "How to control their handles?" ”

Feng Xian replied: "You can let Shangshu issue an edict to recruit the children of the officials below the secretary of state to serve in the palace, so as to fill the duties of the eunuchs at the beginning; In this way, the lives of the minister's children are in your hands, and the secretary will inevitably have some scruples in his actions. ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo nodded, and then smiled: "This plan is very good, according to what you say." ”

"Hmm." Suddenly, Feng Xian couldn't help but groan. He never thought that he would become a person who knew how to play tricks, but due to the current situation, he had to do something he didn't want to do.

When the edict was issued, the children of the princes were very happy, just because they could serve the Son of Heaven closely, which meant that they had the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight by showing themselves. This incident made Yuan Kui feel very surprised, but he was a little vigilant in his heart. Although he couldn't figure out which one Dong Zhuo was singing for a while, he never believed that Dong Zhuo would give in so easily.

Then, when Niu Fu led the army to the capital, everyone was shocked. The officials below the minister level couldn't help but be frightened, and only then did they all suddenly understand what the purpose of Dong Zhuo's previous actions was.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhuo wrote again, asking for the canonization of Taiwei Liu Yu as the Great Sima; The post of lieutenant is held by himself, and he also leads the military of the former general. Liu Xie's permission was played, and he also gave the talismans representing the authority of the Son of Heaven, the honor guard axe, the guard tiger ben, and the title of Marquis of Qiyi.

So, Dong Zhuo moved into the Taiwei Mansion again.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's actions, although Yuan Kui hated itchy, he could only look at it in his eyes and was helpless.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo, who was in the Taiwei Mansion, couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, just because of that old guy Yuan Kui, you still want to fight with the old man?" I don't know if I'm alive or dead! If he hadn't been seen as an important minister, the Yuan family would have been quite famous among scholars, and the old man would have destroyed him a long time ago. ”

Feng Xian on the side couldn't help but say: "Tai Lieutenant, although all the military power in the capital at this time is nominally at your disposal, you still can't take it lightly, so as not to change the situation again." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Hmph, the old man doesn't believe it, who dares to openly disobey the old man's orders?" Such as Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, there is no need to worry at all! ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Taiwei, what the subordinates are talking about is not this, but the hearts of the people; The previous matter of digging up the coffin and killing the corpse and mutilating Wuyang Jun has not yet been investigated, and it is still very damaging to your reputation; Therefore, it has to be handled with caution. ”

"Hmm." When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but groan, and then said, "Then what else do you say?" ”

Feng Xian said: "In the early days, due to the disaster of the party, many party members suffered injustices, especially the late Taifu Chen Fan and his relatives Dou family; At this time, you can ask the Son of Heaven to redress their grievances; and vigorously promote the talents who have been suppressed due to the disaster of the party, firstly, those talents that the imperial court needs, secondly, it can play a role in buying people's hearts, and thirdly, it can also weaken the control of the Yuan family over the power of the DPRK and China; For you, it's a triple win; However, before playing the Son of Heaven, it is necessary to control all the powers of the Three Princes in his hands in order to have a greater chance of winning. ”

"Well, that's good!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nod with great satisfaction, and said, "I can't help but find that you are very similar to Cheng Lian's style, and you are so cautious and careful in thinking about things; However, your way of doing things is more calm than Cheng Lian. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "The captain has passed the award, and his subordinates actually learned from the virtuous brother." ”

"Hehe, you're too humble." Dong Zhuo smiled. Suddenly, he couldn't help but look at Feng Xian again and said, "Hmm, look at Feng Xian, you are also a talent, and you haven't married yet, right?" The old man now has a little daughter, who is still waiting to be written; I want to marry her to you, what do you think? ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Thank you Taiwei for your love, just because your subordinates have a marriage contract early, and you can't bear to abandon your unmarried wife, so you will disappoint Taiwei." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh: "That's it, the old man doesn't want to force you on this matter, wait until you think clearly in the future." ”

Bong Xian sighed slightly. In any case, he never wanted to give up that family business, after all, it was set for him by his deceased father himself before his death. And he always firmly believes that the fate between himself and her is not over, and he will meet again one day.

The next day, Dong Zhuo asked for the removal of the post of Situ of Ding Gong and recommended Yang Biao, a doctor from Taizhong, to be Situ. A few days later, he recommended Yuzhou Mu Huangwan to serve as the secretary. Then, Dong Zhuo asked for redress for the grievances of Chen Fan and Dou Wu, and issued an edict to restore their titles. Subsequently, special people were sent to pay tribute to their graves, and the talented people of their descendants were promoted to officials.

On the third day of October, hundreds of officials sent the funeral of "Empress Dowager He", and Liu Xie issued an edict posthumously crowning her as Queen Lingsi.

Immediately after opening the Wenling Tomb, Dong Zhuo found that there were many valuable treasures buried in the tomb, so he immediately ordered: "Come on, take out all the treasures in the tomb and return them to the treasury." ”

When the ministers on the side heard this, they were immediately shocked. At the right time, Yuan Ji reprimanded: "Bold Dong Zhuo, you dare to offend the mausoleum of the first emperor; It can be known that stealing graves and digging graves is a serious crime, and it should be sentenced to half the punishment, and the three tribes should be punished! ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help sneering and said: "Hmph, the old man wants to see, who dares to behead the old man, who dares to punish the old man and the three clans!" ”

"You-" Yuan Ji was suddenly unable to refute, but his face was full of resentment. When the ministers who buried him saw this, they were also angry at this time, but no one dared to say anything.

At this time, Yuan Kui on the side couldn't help but step forward and say to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you have seen it, this Dong Zhuo is a wolf ambition; If we continue to indulge in this way, I am afraid that a certain dynasty will usurp the throne just around the corner. ”

Liu Xie understood Dong Zhuo's intentions, now that the treasury is barren and the disaster has not yet subsided, a large amount of money is indeed needed to supplement the treasury. However, taking the funeral goods from the tomb of Emperor Ling did damage the weather, violated the etiquette and law, and was a matter of verbal criticism.

So, Liu Xie couldn't help but say: "Taiwei, this move is indeed a little inappropriate, it's better not to disturb the mausoleum of the first emperor, right?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "What if the old man must intrude? ”

"Ugh." When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Yuan Kui couldn't help but say again: "Your Majesty, what are you hesitating about?" Such a rebellious thief, could it be that His Majesty really wants to give up the throne in the future? ”

"Humph!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said: "If you don't say so many high-sounding words, even you so-called "loyal ministers" may not be much better than the old man!" ”

At the right time, Yuan Ji said again: "Traitor Dong Zhuo, don't quibble!" ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but suddenly look at each other angrily, glared at him and said, "You erection, you dare to insult the old man, believe it or not, as long as the old man gives an order, he will immediately ask you to be in a different place?" ”

"Y-huh!" Yuan Ji didn't dare to squeeze Dong Zhuo too much for a while, so he had to shut up for the time being.

At this time, Li Ru on the side couldn't help but walk up to Dong Zhuo and whispered: "Taiwei, it is indeed a big crime to intrude on the mausoleum of the first emperor, you should stop it in moderation." ”

However, Dong Zhuo said: "Hmph, I have enjoyed so much wealth in my life, but I still have to occupy so much wealth after death, but it is just a waste of national strength!" What's the use of saying that a dead man needs so many funerary goods? ”

"Thisβ€”but, such an act is really detrimental to your reputation, and please think twice." Li Ru couldn't help but say again.

Dong Zhuo said with a disdainful face: "What kind of bullshit fame do you mention, it's just a false name, and the old man is not rare!" What kind of bullshit is a big crime to steal the grave and dig the grave, the old man not only wants to steal the tomb of the Spirit Emperor, but also the ancestral tomb of such a greedy and corrupt person! Where is Feng Xian? ”

"The subordinates are here." Feng Xian stepped forward to answer.

Dong Zhuo said: "The old man ordered you to take out all the treasures and treasures in the imperial tomb, and then go to collect the ancestral graves of the ministers; Didn't you say that the old man stole the grave and dug the grave? The old man will steal one and show it to them, I don't believe that there is any bullshit in this world! ”

"Huh?" When the ministers present heard this, they were immediately frightened. And some ministers who had been suppressed before couldn't help but secretly rejoice at the moment.

"This-" Feng Xian heard Dong Zhuo's order, but he suddenly hesitated. If it is reasonable to say that only the treasures and treasures in the imperial tomb are used, but even the ancestral tomb of the minister's family is not spared, this problem is a bit serious.

Immediately, Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Taiwei, according to the opinion of his subordinates, forget about the ancestral tomb of the Gongqing family, I'm afraid there are no valuable treasures in it." ”

"Huh? Do you even have to disobey the old man's orders? Dong Zhuo saw that Feng Xian refused to obey his orders, and immediately became a little unhappy.

Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, but he had to answer: "No." ”

Finally, Dong Zhuo's true nature completely burst out. In fact, his original intention was not to be such an evil person, but his character could easily be driven to extremes. Therefore, what he did seemed to outsiders to be an extremely barbaric, murderous and tyrannical person. (To be continued.) )
