Chapter 20: Shaking the Court
Palace.
The imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty is mainly divided into the south palace and the north palace, and the south palace is mainly a place for the court officials to deal with government affairs. The North Palace is the emperor's harem, inhabited by concubines and queens. And in important seasons, the emperor will also feast his ministers in the North Palace.
As the main palace of the South Palace, the Chongde Hall is where the emperor and the ministers are discussed.
The Han Dynasty is still hot, so the whole body of the Chongde Hall is based on dark red, with gold lacquer carved beams and painted columns, jade jewelry inlay decoration, magnificent and solemn sacred.
The hall is very spacious, and thousands of people will not feel crowded when they enter. The little emperor sat on the main seat above the main hall, and the civil and military officials knelt on both sides of the straight road of the main hall.
Today's court discussion is particularly dull, and many civil and military officials are silent.
Because Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's face was full of irrepressible anger, everyone could feel his anger and dissatisfaction.
And the reason why Dong Zhuo is so dissatisfied is naturally not just because of the reckless behavior of the Xiliang army in Luoyang. Regarding the burning, killing and looting of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo already knew about it. Among them, there are also many of whom secretly signaled to give the civil and military officials of Luoyang City a dismount.
He was irritable today, and the Xiliang army had a small disaster and destroyed the Zhang family.
If you want to talk about the Zhang family, Dong Zhuo can't remember who it is at all, and he doesn't take such a small role in his eyes. He killed a lot of people, how could he remember everyone. But there are people in the Zhang family, and they are also Cai Yong, a famous man that Dong Zhuo values a lot.
For Cai Yong, although Dong Zhuo has the intention of buying horse bones for celebrities in the world, he does value Cai Yong's talent.
Since Cai Yong entered the office, within three days, he has served as the imperial history, the secretary of the imperial history, the Shangshu, the servant, the Zuo Zhonglang general, etc., and the marquis of Gaoyang, whose grace is not heavy.
Cai Yong is over fifty years old and has gray hair.
He wept and cried with grief on his face: "Please also ask Dong Xiangguo to be the master of the Zhang family." ”
Dong Zhuo's face was full of impatience, and he was unwilling to deal with the beloved generals of the Xiliang Army, but it was difficult to refuse bluntly for a while.
Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Report, the big thing is good, Lu Hao, the captain of the Sili Division, led the soldiers of the Sili Department to the camp in the west of the city, and I heard that he was going to arrest the murderer of the Zhang family." The voice of the visitor was rapid, and he gasped violently.
Lu Bu's expression changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up from his seat without being rude, and said angrily: "What! My brother led the troops to the camp in the west of the city, confused, why is he so confused. ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he hurriedly and anxiously bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "The minister asks for his life, and he is willing to go to the camp in the west of the city immediately to stop the change." ”
Dong Zhuo was worried about how to explain to Cai Yong, and now when he heard the return of the waiter, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He comforted: "Uncle, Captain Lu has gone to the camp in the west of the city, and he will definitely arrest the murderer to seek justice for the Zhang family." You can wait a minute, can you? ”
"Xie Dong Xiangguo." Cai Yong knew that there would be no result if he continued to make trouble, although his face was still full of old tears, but he didn't say much.
Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to comfort Lu Bu: "Don't panic first, Li Dao and they have a sense of proportion, no." ”
"Report, there was a conflict between the lieutenant department of Sili and the soldiers of the battalion in the west of the city, and the arrows and crossbows on both sides were drawn, and an accident could happen at any time."
"What." Dong Zhuo's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stand up. In his heart, he was annoyed that Li Dao and the others didn't know how to be flexible, just find a few soldiers to prevaricate, why make it so ugly. But he was even more annoyed that Li Hao had nothing to do and made a mess for himself.
And Lu Bu's face was even more anxious, a pair of tiger eyes flashed with murderous intent, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on it were beating.
If Guo Yan, Li Dao, and others dare to hurt my brother, I will kill him!
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more strange, Dong Zhuo's expression was cloudy, and Lu Bu's eyes showed a murderous light. The other Han officials, led by Wang Yun and who did not deal with Dong Zhuo, had a faint smile on the corner of their mouths.
As for the nine-year-old little emperor Liu Xie, he trembled in this mysterious atmosphere and showed a look of horror on his face.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Bu had never felt that time passed so slowly.
I don't know how long it has been, but there are hurried footsteps outside the hall again, this time even more hurried, and a little more panicked.
"Oh no, no, the lieutenant department of Si Li and the soldiers of the battalion in the west of the city have started fighting, fighting."
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. His eyes were torn apart, and he roared angrily: "Ah, Guo Yan dog thief, if something happens to my brother, I will kill you." ”
Dong Zhuo was taken aback by Lu Bu's roar, but at this time, he didn't have time to reprimand Lu Bu, so he hurriedly asked, "Has Captain Lu been injured, what is the situation now?" ”
"Lu, Captain Lu led the soldiers of the division and disarmed all the soldiers of the camp in the west of the city."
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "You said that Captain Lu disarmed the tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp west of the city?" ”
"Exactly, all the soldiers of the camp in the west of the city have laid down their arms and surrendered, and are being guarded by the soldiers of the division."
When the attendant's words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely strange.
The civil and military officials looked at each other, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief.
Who doesn't know that the camp in the west of the city is Dong Zhuo's foundation Xiliang Army, and now there are sixty or seventy thousand people. The sixty or seventy thousand Xiliang army was disarmed by Li Hao's small 1,000 Sili Lieutenant Division, which is simply a big joke in the world.
Even Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when he heard the words of the attendants outside the palace.
His face was full of disbelief, and he asked again: "Are you sure that the soldiers of the division have disarmed the soldiers of the battalion in the west of the city!" ”
The villain would never dare to talk nonsense, at that time, the soldiers of the division were full of golden light, and rushed into the camp in the west of the city like a heavenly soldier. The soldiers in the battalion seemed to be captured by its might, and they had no power to resist at all. Captain Lu just shouted, and tens of thousands of troops had already surrendered one after another. From the chaos to the end, it was only thirty breaths before and after. ”
The waiter spoke, a slight tremor in his voice, as if he had also been captured by its majesty. Especially when it comes to the back, it is full of excitement and worship.
With a thousand apprentices, tens of thousands of troops were defeated in dozens of breaths, this kind of record is like a myth!
At this time, the civil and military officials in the main hall finally determined that the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in the west of the city had been disarmed by Lu Hao, and they were disarmed without the power to fight back!
Although they didn't believe in the so-called Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Waiter, and they didn't care what the truth of the battle was, it was enough for them to be sure that the Xiliang Army was finished.
The courtiers who opposed Dong Zhuo were full of joy, while Dong Zhuo's party changed their expressions slightly, slightly flustered.
Who doesn't know that the Xiliang Army in the camp west of the city is the foundation of Dong Zhuo, without the existence of these Xiliang Army, why does Dong Zhuo control the court and do whatever he wants?
Now the Xiliang Army is completely annihilated, in case of Captain Lu!
Wait, Captain Lu and General Fengxian are brothers, if you add the state army.
Hey, it's going to change.
The courtiers thought in their hearts, and their eyes at Lu Bu were also a little more eager, as well as the respect and caution that they had not had before.
And Dong Zhuo finally woke up after a short period of distraction. Now is not the time to investigate how the Xicheng camp was destroyed, the most important thing is what Li Hao wants to do!
Dong Zhuo's face was full of panic, he no longer had the same power as before, and said urgently: "Quick, quickly find out where Captain Lu is now, the specific situation of the camp in the west of the city." ”
