Seeing that Xingyang had been lost, the defenders of Bishui hurriedly whipped up their horses and whipped Dong Zhuo urgently. Dong Zhuo received the battle report, found Li Ru, and said: "This group of rebels is really brave, they have broken through Xingyang in a short time, Hu Zhen was killed in battle, Xu Rong was captured, we have reached a moment of crisis, can the matter of moving the capital be done?" ”

Li Ru shook his head, sighed and said: "I have lobbied around to persuade the courtiers to move, but helplessly, these courtiers have a large industry in Luoyang, and it is not easy to let them go to strange places, the most opposed ones are Yuan Feng and Yuan Cheng, they are everyone, it is not easy to do." ”

Dong Zhuo said angrily when he heard this: "Yuan Feng and Yuan Cheng are so ignorant of current affairs, the two rebels of their family are making enemies with the old man outside the Tiger Prison Pass, they are still so big, they must want to collude inside and outside, hum, it is not okay not to give them some color to see, tomorrow I will send someone to arrest them all!" ”

Late at night, Yuan Feng was reading in the house, Yuan Cheng came in a hurry, and without knocking on the door, he broke in directly. Said anxiously: "Big brother, there is news from Dong Zhuo's mansion, because of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo has already angered us, and he will do it tomorrow!" ”

Yuan Feng smiled and said: "My Yuan family, the family has a big business, and I have some prestige in the court, and I don't have the courage to measure him Dong Zhuo!" Second brother, don't worry, I've been observing Dong Zhuo all these years, although he is more ruthless, he doesn't dare to be too forceful, don't worry! ”

Yuan Chengdao: "Big brother? Who is Dong Zhuo, you and I know very well, if he really does it, we will be finished, or do we find another way, or will we send the old and young out of the city first? ”

Yuan Feng waved his hand: "Second brother, don't worry, everything is with my brother, I don't believe Dong Zhuo dares to kill me!" ”

The next day, Li Ru led a team of soldiers to surround Yuan's mansion. Before Yuan Feng got up, the family hurriedly ran to report. Yuan Fengqi ran out without even putting on shoes.

Yuan Feng saw Li Ru and said angrily: "Li Ru! What are you doing here? ”

Li Ru smiled and said: "Hehe, Lord Taiwei, the two little guys of your family are very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister, today I am ordered by the Prime Minister to take care of you, and in the future, the lower officials will have to bother more in the Taiwei Mansion, please have a lot of Haihan!" ”

Yuan Feng said loudly: "Li Ru, what do you mean by this, do you want to imprison this official?" Go and let Dong Zhuo come, I want to see how he explains to the old man! ”

Li Ru still smiled and said: "The Prime Minister is very busy, I advise you, stay obediently, if you have any moves, ......" Li Ru glared at him and stared at Yuan Feng tightly: "Then don't blame me for being polite, the Prime Minister said, if there is resistance, don't worry about killing!" ”

After Li Ru finished speaking, he turned around and left. The Xiliang soldiers rushed into Yuan's mansion and stood guard at various critical borders, and even two people stood outside Yuan Feng's bedroom door. Yuan Cheng and a group of family members all ran out and looked at Yuan Feng. Yuan Cheng said: "Big brother, I told you last night, but you didn't believe it, now it's good, I'm really under house arrest!" ”

Yuan Feng also regretted it, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to dare to take their house, he looked at the family with a blue face, didn't say a word, and went back to the house.

In the early morning of the day, the protégés and officials of the Yuan family speculated one after another why Yuan Feng, the chief lieutenant, did not come. Ma Ridan also wondered why the Yuan family, who were very dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital, did not come today. Today, Dong Zhuo will officially talk about the relocation of the capital at the court meeting. Without the influence of the Yuan family, none of the hundred officials would be Dong Zhuo's opponents.

Li Ru walked quickly to Dong Zhuo's side and whispered a few words. Dong Zhuo smiled slightly and sat up straight. The eunuch shouted in his own unique rooster voice: "Your Majesty has a will, if you have something to do, you will play it early, and you will retreat from the court if you have nothing to do!" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't even look at Liu Xie, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, yesterday Si Tianjian reported that the sky above Chang'an City was surrounded by stars, as bright as day, this is the spirit of the king, today the rebels are attacking Luoyang very urgently, and the old minister thinks ......"

Before Dong Zhuo's words were finished, Ma Ridan hurriedly knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been a Han dynasty for more than 400 years, since Emperor Guangwu established the capital, the people of the world have plenty of food and clothing, it can be seen that Luoyang is a blessed land, and the capital must not be moved!" ”

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Mrs. Ma, you are crying and crying in the early morning, what kind of system is it, the old man is in the consciousness of His Majesty, you are like this, but you want to delay the national affairs?" Come on, take Ma Ridan down for me! ”

The soldiers broke into the main hall, set up Ma Ridan and dragged him out. Ma Ridan still shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not move the capital!" Can't ......"

Ma Ridan was taken out, and Dong Zhuo continued: "Your Majesty, Ma Ridan is bewitching the public, moving the capital is a major national event, and the old minister thinks that Chang'an is a blessed land, and moving the capital here will definitely help my Han Dynasty not to fall for ten thousand years!" Please rule on Your Majesty. ”

Dong Zhuo had just finished speaking, and another person came out of the class and said: "If the prime minister moves the capital, the people of Luoyang will think that it is only a matter of time before the rebels conquer Luoyang, and they must be panicked, Luoyang will definitely be difficult to defend, please think twice?" ”

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Situ Xunshuang. The Xun family is not a big family in Luoyang, but it is the largest official family in Yingchuan, and the Xun Shuang brothers are eight people, known as the "Xun Eight Dragons". Xun Shuang's talent is the best among the eight, and he is called to be like the imperial court, and the official worships Situ. Dong Zhuo snorted and glanced at Li Ru. Li Ru said: "National affairs, in fact, those people can understand, wouldn't it be better to bring the people with them when the capital is moved?" ”

All the courtiers were frightened by Li Ru's words. Luoyang is the largest city in the world, and there are millions of people in the city. The Chinese people have the saying that they ignore their homeland in life and return to their roots when they die, and forcibly send millions of people to Chang'an, not to mention how many people will die along the way.

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Yes, yes, pay attention to this, Chang'an is vast and sparsely populated, and moving the people to it can just replenish the population, so it's decided!" ”

Situ Yang Biao said: "The temple of the Great Han Dynasty is never feasible again, it is absolutely impossible to move the capital, it is taboo to abandon the ancestral society, the prime minister wants to forcibly relocate the population, it will make the heavens angry and resentful, Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to move the capital, and I hope Your Majesty will not give an order!" ”

Li Ru smiled again: "Ancestral Temple, this is better, my Emperor Gaozu is in Chang'an, and the descendants should accompany him, move the capital, and move the mausoleums of the descendants to the past, so that Your Majesty can accompany Emperor Gaozu by his side, I think the emperors will also be happy." ”

This time the courtiers are stupid, and the people are even going to dig the emperor's tomb, is this Dong Zhuo going to rebel? The ministers shouted with anger on their faces. You can even faintly hear the scolding from it.

Dong Zhuo slapped the table and said sharply: "Enough, I have made up my mind, if you don't comply, cut it!" He took out a copy of the decree from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch took the holy decree and pressed it heavily with the jade seal beside Liu Xie. Turned around and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Chang'an is the place of the Han Dynasty, three days later, by the prime minister Dong Zhuo organized the people and officials of Luoyang, all moved to Chang'an, if there is no disobedience, will be beheaded, Qin! ”
