Chapter 143 The Imperial Meeting
At dawn on the second day, all the ministers of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang were invited into the palace by the sergeants sent by Dong Zhuo to participate in this extraordinary court meeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The little emperor Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers standing below, but he no longer had the pride of the primary throne, and the reason for all this was Dong Zhuo sitting on a tiger chair on the side.
Dong Zhuo's arrogance is well known to everyone. Since he dared to pull the young emperor Liu Wei off the horse and let Liu Xie take the throne, he naturally wouldn't care about becoming the only person who sat in the court except for Liu Xie. In particular, his position is a little lower than Liu Xie, just, just a little bit.
Everything in the court, like the previous court meetings, was no different, but all this made those ministers who were invited by Dong Zhuo's army even more worried, and the uneasiness in their hearts was a little stronger.
Sure enough, after the general things were finished, according to the original words, they were scattered and left, but at this moment, Dong Zhuo, who should have been the first to get up and leave, was still sitting on his tiger chair, and Liu Xie, who was supposed to leave, saw that Dong Zhuo did not move, so he naturally did not dare to leave first.
And everything happened that plunged the entire court into a cold silence, and only the breathing of the ministers could be heard clearly.
At this time, one person stood outstanding, and first bowed respectfully to the head, but I didn't know whether it was Dong Zhuo or Liu Xie.
"Qi Emperor, Xiangguo, now there are nursery rhymes in Luoyang City, talking about Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it has been more than 200 years, the dragon veins have moved westward, and the number of qi has been exhausted. When the minister heard about this, he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly sent someone to track down the origin of the nursery rhyme, and asked Taishi Ling to watch the stars at night to see if it was true at this time. ā
After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo looked down, the person with crane hair and a childish face, and a Taoist priest who looked like an official.
"Tai Shi Ling, is there such a thing?"
"What Lord Li said is true, after receiving the news from Lord Li, Wei Chen was also shocked, he stayed at the stargazing platform last night to watch the stars, and finally discovered the vision."
"But what is the fulfillment of nursery rhymes?" Dong Zhuo asked again.
"Xiangguo is wise." Tai Shi Ling slapped Dong Zhuo with a cheap sycophant, but when he saw Dong Zhuo's brows, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly continued, "Yesterday's celestial phenomena showed that Ziwei moved westward, hooked up with the mobilization of the dragon veins of the earth, and went west together, and the nine dragon veins of my Han living in Luoyang, due to the loss of the suppression of the national seal, also went to the west together. ā
"It's nonsense, although the national seal is lost, but now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, how will the dragon vein move west."
"Taishi Ling's evil words confuse the public, intending to shake the country's foundation, please kill this thief."
"Demagoguery, it should be killed."
ā¦ā¦
Some ministers loyal to the Han family, as soon as they heard this, thought about what happened before, and immediately understood that this must be Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital to Chang'an, so such a play was staged.
Thinking of this, these ministers stood up one after another, suppressed and even wanted to kill Tai Shiling, if he didn't, it would be good to abolish this excuse for moving the capital.
It's just that they underestimate Dong Zhuo too much, his determination is not so easy to shake, not to mention, this is also related to his Dong Zhuo's future achievements, and even his net worth and life are also pressed on this capital move, how can he give up lightly.
"Silence!" Dong Zhuo suddenly got together, spit out a word in his mouth, and in an instant, all the voices below disappeared, and everyone looked at Dong Zhuo with complicated expressions.
"This Xiangguo had to dream of the emperor yesterday, talking about the danger of the empire, only by moving west to Chang'an, can we survive this catastrophe, and I heard that the emperor also had to dream of the first emperor, talking about this matter, and now Taishi Ling also talked about this matter, it seems that this matter is serious."
When Dong Zhuo said that the emperor had to dream first, he turned his head to look at Liu Xie, who was sitting stupidly, his eyes narrowed, and the cold light flickered.
"Yes, yes, yesterday, last night, the first emperor gave me a dream, so that I must move the capital, Chang'an." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Liu Xie hurriedly spoke, Dong Zhuo's eyes just now were too frightening to him, lest he would not follow his wishes and be killed by him.
"First there is the dream of the first emperor, and then there is the words of the Taishi Ling, so we will move west to Chang'an, and then rejuvenate the Han Dynasty." Dong Zhuo looked at the ministers below with a threatening look in his eyes.
"Xiangguo is wise, and we are willing to go." At this time, Li Ru and a group of Dong Zhuofang's ministers immediately came out and bowed down.
But these people, after all, are only a part, most of them are reluctant to move the capital, among them are loyal to the Han family, unwilling to move the capital to Chang'an because of Dong Zhuo, and lose the opportunity to be the king of the coalition army, and there are also those who are used to Luoyang and want to continue to live a stable life, and those who are unwilling to give up their wealth in Luoyang, although the reasons are different, but they do not want to move the capital.
At this time, Situ Yang Biao stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, now Guanzhong is broken and messy, if you abandon the prosperity of Luoyang and go to Chang'an, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil." ā
"Alarmist!" Liu Xie didn't dare to speak, Dong Zhuo had already scolded loudly, "Moving the capital to Chang'an is the intention of the first emperor, the will of heaven, do you want to disobey!" ā
Dong Zhuo's words forced Yang Biao to have no way out, at this time, Taiwei Huang Wan immediately stood up to support Yang Biao, and said more tactfully: "What Situ said is right, Chang'an since Wang Mang's rebellion, and after the Red Eyebrows Rebellion, the rebellious army burned Chang'an, and the fire was not extinguished for three days. ā
When Dong Zhuo heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Now under the tiger prison, the thieves have arrived, the world has been chaotic, Chang'an has Kunshan and Hangu Pass, you can defend according to the danger, away from the war, and it is close to Longyou, there is no shortage of wood and stone, bricks and tiles can be built everywhere, and the palace can be completed in a few months. ā
"Xiangguo's words are wrong, now that Hangu is closed, but there is General Zhendong, if he doesn't want to, the matter of moving the capital is not talking to himself." At this time, Situ Xunshuang opened his mouth and said that he had reached the key point in one word, which made the ministers who did not want to move the capital secretly happy.
With the hostile attitude of Xuanyuan Che and Dong Zhuo, how could he let Dong Zhuo go and let him move the capital to Chang'an calmly.
As long as Xuanyuan Che does not leave for a day, this matter of moving the capital will not be done for a day, this Luoyang is still the original Luoyang, the original empire, this Dong Zhuo, it is difficult to say.
Just when everyone's hearts were dark, they heard Dong Zhuo say above: "There is no need to investigate this matter, this Xiangguo has sent someone to contact General Zhendong, talking about the necessity of moving the capital, General Zhendong is deeply favored by the first emperor, loyal to the Han family, and has agreed to move the capital." ā
As soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, the ministers immediately understood that a deal had been reached between the two heroes, and all of this was dug into the corner of the empire.
