Chapter 229: The Might of the Court
Liu Wei's words naturally made the ministers and scholars of the Manchu Dynasty not very understandable, Dong Zhuo himself wants to be the prime minister, which is understandable, and everyone can see that he is very ambitious.
But no one thought that at such a critical moment, the young son of heaven would actually come out to stand up for Dong Zhuo!
Is the little emperor crazy, stupid, or threatened?
At this moment, I saw Taishi Ling Gaosheng stand up!
He looked at Dong Zhuo angrily and said, "Dong thief, it must be you who coerced Your Majesty to cause Your Majesty to issue such an edict, yes or no?" You Xiliang thief, you actually forced the palace! ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed out loud.
His laughter was extremely arrogant, perhaps extremely eerie.
When he was young, Fang saw that Dong Zhuo stopped laughing wildly, shook his head and said: "It's really ridiculous, Your Majesty issued an order to establish a prime minister, and discuss the thirteen Cao, but you blamed the old man for the crime, and you didn't even bother to ask, didn't you?" ”
After saying that, he saw Dong Zhuo turn his head to Liu Wei and salute: "Your Majesty, since the princes have doubts about this matter, according to the old minister, this Xiangguo, the old man should not do it, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble to Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Wei, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little wilted, and he didn't know how to answer, but at this time, he heard the Empress Dowager He say coldly: "Dong Aiqing doesn't have to be humble, this matter is for me to discuss with Your Majesty, and recommend loyal ministers as royal arms to help the dynasty revitalize the dynasty, and it has nothing to do with Aiqing, and Qing doesn't have to avoid suspicion." ”
The courtiers present never expected that Empress Dowager He would say such a thing.
Wu Fu, who had just been relocated to the waiter, stood up and said: "Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo is a cold tiger wolf in the West, if you intimidate the Queen Mother and Your Majesty with tyranny, please also ask the Queen Mother to speak out, the ministers are fighting for this life, and they will definitely seek justice for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!" ”
"Yes, I'm at odds with this fang!"
"Dong Zhuo, how did you threaten Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"
"The traitor misled the country, and he deserved to die with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart!"
“…………”
Dong Zhuo listened coldly to the roar of the crowd at him, but he had a smile on his face, and there was no discomfort.
After those people finished criticizing angrily, Dong Zhuo coldly glanced back and forth at everyone and said, "Finished yelling?" Done scolding? No follow-up? Okay, if that's the case, isn't it the old man's turn? ”
When he said this, he saw Dong Zhuo clapping his hands, and then saw six Xiliang sergeants slowly carrying three large wooden boxes in front of Dong Zhuo in the hall.
It's all scrolls of slips.
Dong Zhuo walked to the tray with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed to the slip on it, and asked, "Princess, do you know what is in this?" ”
Several courtiers standing closer to Dong Zhuo let out a heavy "hum" sound in their noses.
"I don't know, do you? Okay, old man tells you! At the beginning of the battle of Guangzong, the old man and Huangfu Yizhen, Liu Deran jointly conquered Zhang Jiao's mansion, Zhang Jiao was killed by Liu Deran, the old man was in Zhang Jiao's mansion, he didn't get anything, but he saw this stack of Jane slips, and the old man opened it to take a look...... Hey, there's a lot of stuff in here! It's all letters from Zhang Jiao and heroes from all walks of life! ”
At one point, the entire hall was suddenly silent.
Empress Dowager He looked at the people below coldly, but saw that among these ministers, many of them showed panic on their faces.
In an unprepared situation, these people were deceived by Dong Zhuo, and there were many people who were not very psychologically strong, and they showed their feet at that time, so that people could see at a glance that they or the family behind them had some problems.
Of course, in this court, there must be more than one of these people who have an affair with the yellow scarf.
There are also those who have good psychological quality, and at this moment, I am afraid that they are still pretending to be nothing, and there are many people who are stiff.
In fact, Empress Dowager He was still a little puzzled by what Dong Zhuozhi said, but seeing that some of these courtiers were already panicked, she understood everything in an instant.
Her hands hidden in her big sleeves were clenched into fists.
How rampant has it been?
After that, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, and saw Dr. Li Ru come to him.
Dong Zhuo pointed at Gao Sheng, and then pointed at Wu Fu with his finger.
"Bohai Gao Clan, Runan Wu Clan, Wen You, find out about the two of them!"
Gao Sheng, who was the first to stand up and scold Dong Zhuo, turned pale in an instant, and his momentum seemed to have weakened a lot.
As a member of the Runan clan, Wu Fu turned his head to look at Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji not far away.
Yuan Kui looked like an old god, and he didn't react to Dong Zhuozhi's actions at all, but there was already murderous intent in his old eyes.
Seeing Wu Fu looking at him, he saw Yuan Kui quietly raising his hand at Wu Fu and gesturing up and down.
Woofu then understood.
Li Ru rummaged through those slips for a long time, and finally pulled out two scrolls of slips, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Sikong, I found it!" ”
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Read!" ”
Li Ru didn't say a word, and immediately unfolded the two volumes of slips, and read the above content aloud.
It is all a letterhead between the Bohai Gao clan and the Runan Wu clan and Zhang Jiao, establishing the matter of the linkage of the eight states, and the effect is naturally conceivable when this content is read out.
To put it bluntly, this is to open the two families nakedly and expose their ugliest side in front of everyone!
All the ministers present were extremely angry at Dong Zhuo's actions, and they hated to pounce on Dong Zhuo and bite Dong Zhuo to death, but none of them had the courage.
To put it bluntly, there is no such reason.
In the current situation, although Dong Zhuo's behavior is hateful, as far as the current situation in the court is concerned, he is indeed righteous.
When he was young, Li Ru slowly finished reading the two slips, and then stood aside with an indifferent face.
"Your Majesty! Dowager! This is a false accusation! This is Dong Zhuo's old thief framing his ministers and waiting......"
Gao Sheng shouted hoarsely to Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He.
Dong Zhuo's laughter rang out again.
"Wronged, isn't it?"
"The old man knew you would say that from the beginning."
"What other means do you have than to splash dirty water on others?"
"The handwriting on this slip, the old man naturally has a way to confirm it."
"Besides, it doesn't matter whether the handwriting of you and other princes is true or false, but Zhang Jiao's handwriting and imprints are genuine."
"Zhang Jiao has the ability to make a fake, but the old man believes it."
When he said this, Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the three boxes of slips.
"But Zhang Jiao can do so much...... Hundreds. ”
"This old man is a little unconvinced."
"Or is it that in the eyes of the princes, the old man, who was born in Liangzhou and is less than academic, has the ability to do it? You think too highly of the old man, don't you? ”
When he said this, Dong Zhuo looked around at the people present: "But just based on a brief reading, it is a bit of a child's play to judge your family's crimes, this matter still needs to be investigated in detail, so let's start with your Bohai Gao clan and Runan Wu clan." ”
"The rest of the old man will take it first, and when he turns around, he will have free time, how about checking it one by one?"
Dong Zhuo knows very well that now is not the time to fully tear his face with the world's noble people.
Dong Zhuo only took out the Runan Wu clan and the Bohai Gao clan first according to the situation in the court today, and regarded them as typical.
If he publishes all these more than 100 copies of the slips in the court today, within a month, all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty will inevitably raise the banner of the Qing monarch's side.
These people, who have been cutting leeks in various states and counties of the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, want people and money.
He also hides a lot of equipment in private and controls the local economy, which one will be safe to be killed?
They will inevitably collude with each other, recruit troops, and rebel in an all-out way.
At that time, when it came to the background, Dong Zhuo, who only controlled the limited area west of Luoyang, was not their opponent.
No matter how fierce the Xiliang soldiers are, the number is limited after all.
Moreover, Liangzhou in the rear is not completely in his hands.
Han Sui and others, although they were beaten by Dong Zhuo's previous counterinsurgency, couldn't stand up straight.
But there are still tens of thousands of rebels making waves in Liangzhou.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's rear is actually not particularly stable.
Of course. Even if Dong Zhuo doesn't make a move against the family first, after these families rise up in the local area, they will plan to prepare for war with Dong Zhuo sooner or later.
But at least now they have scruples and will not suddenly raise troops.
Just tidying up a few houses first will only make other people hesitate and wait and see, and will not cause radical changes, which will give Dong Zhuo some time to prepare.
Dong Zhuo is old, and he knows a truth.
To fight a war, you still have to fight a prepared war.
