The court meeting is a place where the military and political affairs of the whole country are discussed, and it is the largest meeting room used by the ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss key issues of the empire.

Outside such a conference room, there are heavily armed and murderous Xiliang soldiers standing everywhere, what is going on?

Imagine, a group of people who came to the meeting with paper and pencils, as soon as they arrived at the door of the conference room, they saw a group of people holding mountain knives, machine guns, black suits, sunglasses, and big dragons and carp tattooed on their necks on the three floors of the inner and outer three floors.

The current Luoyang Dynasty has given these ministers such a feeling.

The upper court, as if someone had a knife on the neck.

But even so, this dynasty is still on the way.

No way, if this is not possible. Looking back, Dong Zhuo really moved the capital, and everyone really had no right to speak.

On the court, Dong Zhuo once again mentioned the matter of moving the capital today.

However, mentioning this matter today is not the same as in the past.

Today's court hall, in addition to the main hall, there are Xiliang soldiers in iron armor everywhere, even in the court, there are also teams of armor soldiers standing on the side.

And the person responsible for leading these armor soldiers is none other than Hua Xiong, the general under Dong Zhuo.

It stands to reason that after Hua Xiong was captured by Liu Jian and released back the previous time, he should not have been reused.

After all, being captured alive by the enemy is a lifelong humiliation for a general.

Especially when he was put back by the enemy in the end, it was even more of a rattling sound of big-eared melon seeds pumping his face.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, although he was also captured alive, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo not to use him.

Hua Xiong is different.

To be honest, after being released back by Liu Jian this time, Hua Xiong himself felt that his military career under Dong Zhuo was coming to an end.

But what he never expected was that Dong Zhuo not only did not blame Hua Xiong, but comforted him.

He not only let Hua Xiong still lead the original army and serve as a confidant general, but also encouraged Hua Xiong in public, saying: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a momentary victory or defeat cannot determine a person's future ability. ”

These words really moved Hua Xiong enough.

He knelt down at Dong Zhuo on the spot, and said: "After the grace of the country, you must swear to die to repay it." ”

With such an incident as a foreshadowing, Hua Xiong has completely become Dong Zhuo's little fan brother.

This time, even when he led his troops into the court to supervise the hundred officials and court discussions, Dong Zhuo didn't even use Lu Bu, but used Hua Xiong.

If Dong Zhuo is now asked to let Hua Xiong slaughter all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Hua Xiong will not blink an eyelid.

In fact, with Dong Zhuo's original character, Hua Xiong's mistakes are absolutely unbearable.

But now Dong Zhuo is different from before, the older he gets, the more patience and tolerance he has for people.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo now knows that he is in a relatively difficult stage.

There was great resistance to moving the capital, and the Manchu ministers were all enemies of Dong Zhuo, if they wanted to achieve his political goals. First of all, he must ensure that his henchmen absolutely support him, so that the Xiliang army can maintain absolute loyalty to him.

How can we inspire the absolute loyalty of the Xiliang Army at this critical moment?

There is no doubt that Huaxiong's incident is a very good opportunity.

Through Huaxiong, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army can be grateful to Dong Zhuo.

After all, Hua Xiong has a very high prestige among the officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo also wants to show his generosity and benevolence through this incident.

The effect is still very obvious.

……

At this moment, in the court, Hua Xiong, wearing Xuan armor, was walking back and forth in the main hall.

After all, it was a court meeting, and even Hua Xiong and other Xiliang soldiers could not go to the palace with matching swords.

However, even if they don't wear weapons, the deterrent power of the Chinese and Western Liang soldiers of Huaxiong is enough to make the Manchu people fearful.

"Smack, smack, smack, smack......"

Hua Xiong was in the main hall, moving his steps back and forth, and the sound of every step hit the hearts of the people present.

In this case, all the courtiers were terrified, and the pressure was unusually great.

Many people start to sweat on their foreheads.

"Xiangguo has arrived!"

As the eunuchs outside the hall shouted, they saw Dong Zhuo striding into the hall.

Today's Dong Zhuo is also different from the past.

He was also heavily armed and clad in armor.

Dong Zhuo came to the highest seat of the hall and glanced back and forth at the crowd present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man wants to discuss two important matters with you today."

"This is the first thing we have been discussing, finalizing the details of moving the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an...... This matter has been agreed, and there is no need to say more, the princes only have any good ideas on how to move the capital, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

This is not a trivial matter.

No one thought that Dong Zhuo would not discuss with everyone whether to move the capital, but began to discuss with everyone on the details of moving the capital.

The courtiers were instantly furious.

In the previous court, Yang Ci went with the first emperor Liu Hong, last year, Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji were killed by Dong Zhuo, and the leaders of the Wang clan died one after another in just a few years, so that the leading figures who could lead the princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty temporarily appeared in a vacuum.

Now if you want to find a figure like Yuan Kui or Yang Ci in the court, you can't find it.

The power of the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures in the world is still distinct, but the ministers of the scholar clan in the court, after the Yuan family and the Yang family, there are also several outstanding figures.

Although it has not reached the realm of being similar to the Yuan and Yang families, it can barely be regarded as being able to form their own factions.

It seems that the current Sili lieutenant Zhang Wen, Sikong Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, the servant who succeeded Yuan Ji, Yang Biao of Shaofu, and Sikong Chun Yu Jiadu gradually rose in the court.

And this time, they withstood Dong Zhuo's pressure, and those who did not approve of moving the capital were led by these few.

Although these people rarely connect in tandem on weekdays, they are still very consistent in the matter of moving the capital.

Hearing Dong Zhuo say such a thing, Yang Biao stood up first.

"Since the rise of Guangwu, Luoyang is the capital of my Han Dynasty, the ancestral temples are here, and they cannot be easily moved, if Your Majesty moves the capital in vain, what face will you have to face the ancestors Guangwu?"

Yang Biao was very smart, he didn't question Dong Zhuo directly, but went to ask Liu Wei, the son of heaven.

Liu Wei was a cowardly character, he didn't speak, but looked cautiously at the Empress Dowager He next to him.

Empress Dowager He sneered: "Yang Aiqing's words are wrong, Guangwu Zhongxing, although the capital is Luoyang, but when Emperor Gao founded the Han Dynasty, it was the capital of Chang'an, and Emperor Gao is the ancestor of Guangwu. ”

Although there is some truth in what Empress Dowager He said, in all fairness, what she said was extremely impolite.

And it's somewhat ugly, and even some suspicions of forgetting their ancestors.

But it's no wonder, after all, it's a butcher's daughter, how can she take care of so much when she speaks?

Yang Biao listened to Empress Dowager He's words, and his heart was furious, he just wanted to reply, but he listened to Dong Zhuo in vain.

"Old man, I just said it, the first thing to discuss how to move the capital is ......"

"This matter has been made by the old man and the Son of Heaven, there is no possibility of change, you don't need to discuss it, let's just look at the second thing."

After saying that, he saw Dong Zhuo clapping his hands and said, "Bring people up to the old man." ”

As the words fell, I heard a heavy footstep outside the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Lu Bu striding into the main hall with a meteor.

The man was covered in blood, his face was withered, and his cloak was thrown by Lu Bu in the middle of the main hall.

He was just wearing a single coat, and on top of that single coat, there were blood marks everywhere, and he obviously didn't know how many whips he had been whipped.

It's already been beaten to the point that the flesh is open.

"Bo Shen Gong!"

Everyone in the hall exclaimed.

Who would have thought that this person who was thrown in front of everyone and beaten up and covered in blood was one of the three independent sits in the imperial court, Zhang Wen, the captain of Sili.

And when Zhang Wen was crusading against Beigong Boyu before, he was also Dong Zhuo's boss.

However, later, under Yuan Kui's design, Zhang Wen was recalled to the court, making Dong Zhuo alone hold power in the northwest.

Today's Zhang Wen also has a certain prestige in the rising sun, he and Dong Zhuo did not agree before, and the two of them regarded each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

This time, Dong Zhuo asked to move the capital to Guanzhong, and the first person to stand up was Zhang Wen.

It was precisely because Zhang Wen took the lead that other courtiers also went up to confront Dong Zhuo in this matter.

Today, Zhang Wen did not come to the court, and everyone thought that he had some plan, or that he was sick.

Who would have thought that he was actually captured by Dong Zhuo, and even beaten to this point.

Yang Biao trembled and pointed at Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Xiangguo, why are you?! What is Zhang Gong's crime, and even this? ”

A smile hung on the corner of Dong Zhuo's mouth.

"Sili Captain Zhang Wen, he had colluded with the traitor Zhang Jiao before, and was suspected of rebellion, and this time he colluded with Yuan Shao, the evidence is conclusive, the old man took him down and asked him for the crime, why not?"

When all the courtiers heard this, they immediately changed color.

Obviously, Dong Zhuo's move today was premeditated.

Today, he wants to completely finalize the matter of moving the capital by killing Zhang Wen.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo had a gap with Zhang Wen back then, and today's actions are to seek personal gain from the public.

It's so vicious!

But everyone didn't expect that Dong Zhuo had another reason for taking Zhang Wen today.

That is, he wants to expand his power by killing Zhang Wen, the captain of Sili.

Si Li school lieutenant than 2,000 stones, subordinate officials have engaged, fake Zuo, etc., the seven counties around Luoyang are the Si Li, Si Li school lieutenant has the right to supervise the Beijing division and supervise the places around the capital, the monk Shang Shu Ling, the imperial history Zhongcheng together have a special seat, sometimes there are "three sitting alone" said.

In the struggle between relatives and eunuchs, one side often used the strength of the commander of the division to thwart the other party, such as the eunuch Shan Chao and other conspirators to punish the general Liang Ji, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Biao, the captain of the school, to besiege Liang Ji's residence and kill him.

In Dong Zhuo's view, the captain of Sili is a "heroic position".

Therefore, Dong Zhuo decided to take the opportunity of this capital move to abolish the Sili Lieutenant among the three independent seats and expand his power.

At the same time, the division was abolished and the county system was changed, and Lu Zhi was appointed as the Taishou of the surrounding areas of the original Luoyang, and the herdsmen of the east for the Han Dynasty.

That's a lot to count.
