Chapter 186: Arrogant Dong Zhuo
A few days ago, Yuan Shao and the other Rao combined forces entered the Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo was worried, so he personally set out to lead the soldiers and horses to guard the Tiger Pass.
At that time, he was afraid that his son would take this opportunity to collude with many courtiers to plot against him, so he suspended his daily performance of the court.
However, yesterday afternoon, the courtiers were suddenly notified and resumed their daily court. So many courtiers rushed to the Jinluan Hall today.
The first person was none other than Situ Gong Wang Yun, and he lowered his voice and said to the courtiers next to him: "Last night, the old man got a secret report that the Qinwang troops led by Yuan Shao and others have broken through the Tiger Pass.
The Xiliang army was defeated on all fronts, most of the generals under his command were killed, and Dong Zhuo's life and death are unknown." When the other party heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Okay, since life and death are unknown, it must be death."
Wang Yun nodded and said, "The Tiger Prison Pass is only more than fifty miles away from Luoyang, and there are no more passes and obstacles, which can be described as a flat river...... Now that Wang Shi has broken through the Tiger Prison Pass, the capture of Luoyang is just around the corner.
"The common people are fortunate that the sun and the moon are restored!" This old minister was very excited! …… However, they were soon disappointed, and when they came to the top of the main hall, they saw Dong Zhuo still standing next to the emperor.
The emperor was still silent on the dragon chair, and Dong Zhuo took the initiative to speak: "A few days ago, Yuan Shao and many other rebellious ministers and thieves plotted against each other, and were defeated by the army under my command in one fell swoop...... However, there may still be some remnants of the remnants of the party who may plot against the capital, invade the capital, and plunder the holy car.
Ladies and gentlemen, what are you supposed to do?" Hearing this, the ministers sneered in their hearts, if Yuan Shao and the other Rao's army were defeated by Dong Zhuo, then how could he worry that some of the remnants would be able to invade Luoyang?
Seeing their reaction like this, Dong Zhuo immediately understood their thoughts, he knew that the news of the defeat could not be concealed at all...... Annoyed in his heart, Dong Zhuo said, "Recently, I heard a nursery rhyme, a Han in the west and a Han in the east.
When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. this
"A Han in the West" refers to Gaozu (Liu Bang) who flourished in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the 12 emperors; whereas
"A Han in the East" is Guangwu (Liu Xiu) Wang in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and now it is also said that there are 12 emperors. This is a return of fortune!
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and after listening to Dong Zhuo's law, it seemed that they planned to move the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an.
After the fall of Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang was already a flat river, and everyone was waiting for the coalition army to enter Luoyang to defeat Dong Zhuo.
If the capital is moved to Chang'an at this time, it will be far away to eradicate Dong Zhuoxing's restoration of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo continued, "After two hundred years in the eastern capital, Luoyang, has run out of energy.
I watched the elephant at night and saw that the emperor's spirit was prosperous in Chang'an. So I've decided to take the west to the west, all the officials and ministers, hurry up and get ready.
Situ Yang Biao immediately objected: "Qiqi Xiangguo, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been endless battles for many years, and Guanzhong has long been in tatters.
It's easy to move, it's hard to be safe, how can you just leave the temple and abandon the emperor's mausoleum just for a nursery rhyme, and I implore Xiangguo to think twice!
Dong Zhuo was furious and said, "Moving the capital to Chang'an is the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, which is a hundred-year plan, Luoyang is dark, Chang'an is bright, abandoning Luoyang and investing in Chang'an, that is abandoning the darkness and turning to the light."
There are still those who are not afraid of power, and Taiwei Huang Wan stood up and said: "What Yang Situ said is very true, Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, burning Chang'an with his bare eyebrows, turning it into a land of rubble and ruins.
Now that the palace is abandoned and the wasteland is wasteland, and the people are displaced, such a matter, I hope that the country will be cautious!
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "The rebellious ministers and thieves in the eastern part of the country have risen up and are in turmoil. Chang'an has the danger of Hangu Pass in Kunshan Mountain, which is enough to resist the rebellion of the rebels, and Chang'an is close to Longshan, wood, stone, bricks and tiles are at your fingertips, but in the rest of the month, you can build a more magnificent palace!
Situ Xunshuang came to advise again: "If Lord Xiangguo insists on moving the capital, it will only lead to unrest among the people!
Dong Zhuo was furious and said, "I decided to move the capital for the sake of a big event, as for those people in the city, they are as cheap as grass mustard, they love death and life, what do they have to do with me?
Seeing a steady stream of people jumping out to oppose his plan to move the capital, Dong Zhuo's heart became more and more angry...... Originally, Dong Zhuo was above the court, and he couldn't imagine that so many people would dare to stand up and speak up...... The reason why this is so is nothing more than a big defeat in the Tiger Prison Pass before, which made everyone see the trend of Dong Zhuo Building.
Not to mention those courtiers who dared to be angry with Dong Zhuo, even those courtiers who were originally attached to Dong Zhuo, were already a little ghostly at the moment.
In their opinion, Luoyang will be broken by Yuan Shao and other Rao coalition forces at any time, and Dong Zhuo is now a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump a few times...... Now we have to find a way to get rid of Dong Zhuo's relationship, otherwise, once the government is supported, those courtiers who are attached to and curry favor with Dong Zhuo will definitely be liquidated.
Who can serve above the court, who is not an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years? Their political sense is anything but acumen.
For example, this time to move the capital, everyone understood that Dong Zhuo had made up his mind, but he still ran out to persuade and refute, just to prove that he was still loyal to the Han family, and in the face of Dong Zhuo, he was still not afraid of power and dared to speak out, so as to avoid being settled by Yuan Shao and others.
Dong Zhuo was furious and said, "Moving the capital is related to the country's centennial fortune, so dare you be presumptuous? came and dismissed Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Xun Shuang from public office and demoted them to commoners.
He knew that after the defeat of the Tiger Prison, people's minds have changed now, and only by iron-fisted means can these courtiers with evil intentions be softened, otherwise there will be more and more ......people who dare to rebel against them in the future.
Shangshu Zhou Bi and Captain Wu Qiong hurriedly advised: "Even if the three ministers oppose the relocation of the capital, there is no big fault.
How can you be dismissed and demoted because of this?" Seeing that there were still people who dared to oppose him, Dong Zhuo became more and more angry, and roared: "In the past, I listened to the words of a few of you and used Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao has already rebelled...... You are clearly Yuan Shao's fellow thieves, come on, drag a few of them out for me to behead the public!
Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of fierce light, and he glanced at the ministers of the court and the central government with a majestic look...... The courtiers who looked at him lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.
Dong Zhuo is reminding many ministers with his eyes: "Yuan Shao's army has not yet entered the palace, this court is still my decision, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die!" The courtiers who looked at Dong Zhuo immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look him directly into the eyes.
Just as this was happening, the herald suddenly broke into the main hall and said, "Report ...... On the Holy Gift, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses appeared in the southwest of Luoyang, and the soldiers pointed to Luoyang City!
