Chapter 339: A new monarch is appointed
Most of the people in the court are smart people, and more than half of the more than 100 courtiers who can participate in the court meeting can understand Dong Zhuo's purpose at the moment.
They are all foxes for thousands of years, and no one needs to talk to anyone about fasting.
understands and understands, but as far as the current situation is concerned, no one dares to stand up easily and directly disobey Dong Zhuo.
After all, the bloody and miserable Zhang Wen is lying there right now.
And beside Zhang Wen, there stood the tall Lu Bu, and Hua Xiong, who was constantly patrolling like a tiger and wolf in the main hall, which put great pressure on everyone in the hall.
Zhang Wen, who was covered in scars, looked up from the ground, his face full of despair.
He stared at Dong Zhuo standing above with resentment, and yelled at him in a hoarse voice: "Traitor, national thief!" Even if I die, I will be a terrible ghost, and I will never let go of you, a dog thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people......"
"Traitor, how dare you speak wildly!"
Dong Zhuo's face showed anger, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Bring up the evidence!" β
Afterwards, I saw several Xiliang sergeants take a tray loaded with slips to the top of the main hall.
Seeing the slips that Dong Zhuo ordered people to bring up, most of the courtiers present were red with anger, and their hands hidden in their big sleeves were even trembling.
Or are they old things...... At the beginning, the head of the local Zhuwang clan had a letter with Zhang Jiao in private communication.
These letters have now been used by Dong Zhuo in every way to prove their truth, and they can be taken out at any time to tell the world and justifiably punish anyone's crimes.
Every time someone in the court had a quarrel with Dong Zhuo, when the tip of the needle was against Mai Mang, Dong Zhuo would sacrifice this big killing weapon, and eat his political enemies to death at the point of loyalty and justice.
It's just that most of the ministers were more or less involved in this matter at the beginning.
Even if I didn't participate, most of the people in his family were involved.
In short, every time Dong Zhuo uses these things, he can suppress his court and political enemies forever.
And this time, Zhang Wen is not an honest person himself, so Dong Zhuo grabbed the handle even more.
Dong Zhuo opened those slips as usual, one by one, and threw them in front of Zhang Wen.
"Zhang Jiao's ......"
"Yuan Shao's ......"
"Yuan Shu's ......"
Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Wen with a grim smile as he read it.
"Bo Shen Gong, you have really a lot of anti-thieves in your correspondence over the years, as long as there is a thief in the Han Dynasty, you have to contact you, but I don't know if the public was on the front line when he was fighting against Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou and others?"
When these words came out, Zhang Wenqi's qi and blood surged, and a mouthful of old blood was held in his chest, and his eyes were almost popping out.
"Dog thief! Framed the old manββ! β
Dong Zhuo sneered: "The old man doesn't have that idle time, all your affairs are investigated and strictly interrogated by the Imperial Governor's Office, if you hadn't done something sorry for the Han Dynasty, you would definitely not be here today......"
When he said this, he saw Dong Zhuo suddenly stand up and said to the high Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He behind him: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the old minister thinks that Zhang Wen, a thief, colluded with Yuan Shao and his ilk before, and dissuaded His Majesty from returning to Guanzhong, it is really ill-intentioned, Luoyang is very close to Nanyang, Yuan Shao's rebels have already attacked the imperial capital and hijacked His Majesty's heart, just because there are old ministers, so Yuan thieves dare not easily raise troops to come to Luoyang, but with the old ministers, Yuan Shao's thief, the heart of the Han is not dead, and there must be a plan!" β
Liu Wei asked Dong Zhuo quite in line with the matter: "According to Dong Aiqing, what are Yuan Shao's plans?" β
Dong Zhuoyi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if you are not suspicious of the old ministers, Your Majesty and the old ministers insist on moving the capital, imitating the ancestors and revitalizing the emperor's business in the land of Guanzhong, and at the same time, it can also make the traitors such as Yuan Shao in the Guandong region unable to hurt Your Majesty further, but since Your Majesty and the old ministers discussed moving the capital, some people with ulterior motives led by Zhang Wen have been constantly preventing Your Majesty from moving the capital. β
As soon as the words 'ulterior motives' came out, the faces of the people led by Yang Biao were a little unkind.
Dong Zhuo turned a blind eye and continued: "Where would you have thought that the dignified lieutenant and the minister who sat alone would have been in the company of Zhang Jiao, Yuan Shao and other thieves for a long time, such worms have been lurking in the court for many years, and no one can detect it, it is really painful!" β
"Zhang Wen has always opposed the relocation of the capital, and it is clear that he wants to make His Majesty fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, such sinister intentions are really intolerable! Your Majesty, please punish the three clans of thieves! β
When Zhang Wen heard this, he was immediately shocked.
He shouted at the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the minister has been wronged!" The minister has always been loyal to the Han and His Majesty! β
Dong Zhuo coldly interrupted Zhang Wen's words: "Loyal or not, Your Majesty and Your Highness, you have your own judgment, and now the evidence of your rebellion is there, how can you deny it!" β
Xun Shuang stood up tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Zhang Gong is from a famous family, he has always been valued in the Shilin, he is dedicated to his duties on weekdays, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, how can he be punished?" said that he rebelled, there are really doubts in this, and please ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness to learn from it! β
Although Xun Shuang has not been in the dynasty for a long time, as one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, his reputation is very high.
Since Xun Shuang entered the court, not only in the Luoyang court, but also in the entire high-level division, as well as many Qingliu students in the Jingshi Taixue, have surrounded Xun Shuang, and over time, he has become the spokesperson of the Qingliu family in the court.
Xun Shuang's words are naturally very weighty.
If Yuan Kui and He Jin were here, after listening to Xun Shuang's words, they might have to give him three points of face.
But Dong Zhuo didn't!
What Qingliu party, what scholar minister...... They have already broken Dong Zhuo's heart thoroughly.
Especially Xun Shuang is also the person Dong Zhuo found, but now he is also standing on the opposite side of himself......
Why give him face?
Dong Zhuo sneered,
"What Xun Gong said, does it mean that the old man deliberately slandered Zhang Thief?"
Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "The old man didn't say that, and he didn't mean that. β
"Xun Gong doesn't have such a meaning, then it's the best, these evidences are clearly placed in front of Xun Gong's eyes, if Gong doesn't believe it, you can go to Tingwei to verify, if you don't check, don't be suspicious."
After saying that, Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the stakes are very high, and the survival of the country is at stake, and you must make a decision."
These words can be regarded as making up their minds to Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He.
It was impossible for Dong Zhuo not to greet them before doing this.
Since he dared to bring Zhang Wen to the main hall, it means that the two sides have already negotiated on this matter.
Therefore, Zhang Wen is dead today.
But such a thing as destroying the three clans, the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He can't do it.
Zhang Wen's family is a big family in Nanyang, and there are many famous people in the world, as well as high-ranking families, who are related to each other and intermarry with each other.
If you really want to destroy Zhang Wen's three clans, I don't know how many Kanto Wang clans will be pushed to the side of the Yuan family?
Although Liu Wei is young, he still has some consideration in this matter.
The emperor said: "Although Zhang Wen's crime is unforgivable, but his people have offended him, I am a benevolent and righteous king, how can I do such a tyrannical thing?" In my opinion, Zhang Wen should be dealt with as a crime, and the affairs of others will be held in power and will not be investigated. β
Before anyone else present could say anything, he saw Dong Zhuo saluting the Son of Heaven and saying, "Your Majesty is merciful, it is really a godsend!" β
After that, I saw Dong Zhuo wave his hand and said, "Push Zhang Wen out and behead him!" β
When the words fell, I saw Hua Xiong striding in front of Zhang Wen, grabbed him from the ground, and dragged him out of the hall.
Among the courtiers, some people seemed to want to go up and stop them directly, but they still didn't dare after all.
There are many Xiliang soldiers in the hall, like tigers and wolves, staring at the situation in the court, in this case, who dares to move easily?
Not long after, Zhang Wen's bloody head was taken back by Hua Xiong.
In fact, after Zhang Wen was killed, the body could be taken away directly, and there was no need to take the head back to the main hall to show the public.
But everyone knows that this is Dong Zhuo killing chickens to show monkeys.
β¦β¦
Zhang Wen died, and the dignified captain of Sili, one of the three sitting alone, was disposed of by Dong Zhuo in front of everyone in the Manchu Dynasty.
The other ministers of the DPRK and China, no matter which one they are, are also full of coolness in their hearts at this moment.
Through today's events, they have already seen that the Son of Heaven is completely on Dong Zhuo's side.
Most people's hearts are cold, and they are beginning to be afraid.
They began to worry about their future.
Three days later, in the evening, Yang Biao made the east and invited a few colleagues to his mansion to drink.
Yang Biao and Huang Wan had previously been ranked as the third duke, but during the Yuan Rebellion, the imperial court removed the two of them from the positions of Sikong and Situ.
This is a very normal operation, for many years, as long as there is a war in the Han Dynasty, it is bound to dismiss one or two three dukes, used to inherit the fault of heaven, which is an unwritten rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although it was a rule, Yang Biao and Huang Wan were still very depressed at that time.
After all, if the official is masturbated, whoever is replaced by someone will not feel good in his heart.
However, compared to the degree of blockage in today's situation, it was really a drizzle when the two of them were in the position of the third public.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Dong Zhuo is so rampant, killing important ministers of the court and monopolizing power, it is really intolerable by heaven and earth! If such thieves do not ask for it, will the world be ruined by them? β
Huang Wan sighed: "What to beg for, such as today the son and the queen mother are on his side, the words of the old thief are obedient, we want to crusade against the old thief, there is not even a decent edict, looking back is really more real, this rebellion has become us, alas, it is really annoying." β
Henan Yin Yangyi said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are really confused, they actually believe in such a person, you see, what are you doing now!" It's just disobeying your ancestors! β
Everyone is gossiping, you say a word to me, either scolding Dong Zhuo, or saying that the Son of Heaven is not.
At this time, I suddenly heard a person slowly speak: "Since Your Majesty is not virtuous, how about I wait for a new monarch?" β
