On the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, Dong Zhuo invited the emperor to ascend to the Jiade Hall and hold a civil and military conference.
Zhuo drew his sword in his hand and said to the crowd: "The emperor is weak and cannot rule the world. Now I have a policy that should be read out."
Li Ru read the policy and said: "Emperor Xiaoling abandoned his subjects long ago; the emperor inherited the heir and looked inside the sea. However, the emperor was frivolous in nature, did not abide by his majesty, and lived in mourning. He was slow and lazy. If he has great virtues, he has a great position. The empress dowager has no teachings. Mother's ritual governs the chaos. Is there any gap in the three cardinal principles and the order of heaven and earth? Chenliu Wangxie has great saintly virtues and solemn rules. He mourns in mourning and does not speak evil words. He has a good reputation and is heard all over the world. It is appropriate to inherit Hongye and be the leader for all generations. I hereby depose the emperor as King Hongnong, and the Queen Mother returns to power. Please appoint King Chenliu as the emperor, in order to be obedient to heaven and man, and to comfort the hope of living beings."
After Li Ru read it out, Queen Mother He was heartbroken when she heard the content of the policy.
"It's over! It's all over!"
Last night, a masked man came to the palace. He asked He Jian for the King of Hejian. Do you regret it?
Queen Mother He covered her face and cried bitterly. Do you regret it? regretful! But it's useless! The elder brother died, and the son was about to be deposed. The glory of the He family seemed to be within reach, but he didn't expect that it would collapse once and for all.
It was greed that harmed himself and everyone else, including his own son.
"I hope sir can save my mother and son from the fire and water! Just tell the King of Hejian"
The masked man shook his head, "How to save him? The He family is here today because of your own hands. His Highness will not care whether you live or die."
After saying that, the masked man left without looking back.
# Dong Zhuo waved his hand to the soldiers to ask Liu Bian to take the soldiers walked up to Liu Bian and asked Liu Bian to leave the dragon throne, take off his seal ribbon, kneel to the north, and say that he was a minister and obeyed his orders.
Liu Bian left his dragon throne sadly and helplessly, and was pulled out by two soldiers. Liu Bian cried and called his mother.
Then he ordered the Queen Mother to serve the imperial edict. The emperor is gone, so why do we still need you, the Queen Mother? The emperor and the queen all cried, and all the ministers were miserable.
But no one dared to stand up and speak.
Dong Zhuo was an unreasonable butcher. Faced with the choice between justice and his own life, the minister chose the latter without hesitation.
Dong Zhuo didn't care what the deposed emperor's mother and son looked like, so he walked directly in front of Liu Xie, led him onto the dragon throne, and attracted all the ministers to pay homage.
At this moment, an old woman slowly walked into the Jiade Hall with the support of an attendant.
"It's so lively today, why doesn't anyone come to invite me?"
When all the ministers saw the visitor, they paid homage one after another: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager!"
Dong Zhuo was also very surprised, "Why is this person here?"
To be honest, if there was anyone else in Luoyang who could scare him, this one would definitely be among them, and he would be among the best.
Seeing the Empress Dowager approaching slowly, Dong Zhuo quickly saluted, "My lord, Dong Zhuo, pays homage to the Empress Dowager."
The reason why the Empress Dowager is alive today is not because she is so charming, but because she has a son outside who is enough to kill all the bugs in Luoyang.
With her in Luoyang as a hostage, Liu Han did not dare to act rashly.
But they also knew that King Hejian was a lunatic, and if they forced him to do so, they would likely suffer backlash, so everyone tacitly chose to ignore his existence.
The Empress Dowager walked up to the deposed empress and snorted coldly, "Look at your miserable appearance, are you worthy of the late emperor's empress?"
Then he saw the cowardly Liu Bian on the side and said, "The blood of the He family is useless!"
Does the Empress Dowager hate Liu Bian? not necessarily.
She just hated those relatives behind Liu Bian who only knew interests, only knew power, and only knew how to hold him back, as well as his stupid and vicious mother.
Therefore, she thought about letting Liu Xie succeed to the throne.
The Empress Dowager looked at the nine-year-old emperor who was sitting quietly on the throne. She felt uncomfortable. After all, it was she who brought it up. She knew Liu Xie's ability. Today's court is in the hands of these ghosts and snake gods. Xie My son can be a wise king in times of peace and prosperity, but he cannot sit still as an emperor in times of chaos in the palace and the corruption of Chao Gang not only made He look away, but also allowed her to see many things clearly. The only person who can save the big man is her youngest son, and the method of salvation is by no means negotiation, but the baptism of blood and fire.
The He family was guilty and the grandson was innocent. The Empress Dowager could not ignore death. She took Liu Bian's hand, kicked He family, and shouted: "Get up!"
He, who had lost everything, slowly got up from the ground.
"Go back with me, don't embarrass yourself here!"
As the Empress Dowager spoke, she looked at the courtiers on both sides. Her disgusted eyes were like a big mouth, slapping them in the face, causing burning pain.
"Late Emperor, have you seen it? This is the big man today!"
With that said, he led Liu Bian out of the Jiade Palace without looking back, "It's a mess and the stench is overwhelming. Go back to Yong'an Palace."
Dong Zhuo was very surprised now. His previous heroic attitude of turning his hands to make clouds and rain was suddenly interrupted by an old woman over fifty years old. The key was that this old woman really couldn't afford to offend her. If something happened to her, the one in the north would They will definitely raise troops to kill! Don't look at Dong Zhuo who thought he had strong soldiers and horses, but the King of Hejian, even among the Qiang people, was someone they didn't dare to provoke. When the Qiang people in Liangzhou were in trouble, the King of Hejian sent 4 people before he even took action. One hundred thousand Liangqiang rebels were slaughtered in one month.
If I really offend him, I believe that within a month, I will die without a burial place.
After the Empress Dowager left, he waited for a long time before Dong Zhuo gave the order: "The Empress Dowager He, King Hongnong and the imperial concubine Tang's Yong'an Palace are staying at leisure, and the gates of the palace are sealed so that no officials can enter without permission."
As for the Empress Dowager, Dong Zhuo did not dare to mention a word and selectively ignored her.
Seeing the stumbling figure of Queen Mother He, Dong Zhuo secretly sighed, it was a pity. If the Queen Mother had not appeared, he might have experienced the feeling of an emperor for once.
The poor young emperor ascended the throne in April and was deposed in September.
Seeing the ministers paying homage, Dong Zhuo stood beside the emperor, feeling satisfied for no reason.
When people feel satisfied, it is easy to let down their guard. Just as Dong Zhuo walked down the steps of the Jiade Hall, the school captain Wu Fu (also known as Deyu) who was standing on the steps suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him.
"Old thief Dong Zhuo!"
Dong Zhuo had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed Wu Fu's dagger-holding hand with his left hand and knocked Wu Fu aside with a palm of his right Fu stabbed Dong Zhuo again, but Lu Bu grabbed the knife and twisted him.
The civil and military ministers tried to step forward, but were blocked by Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
Some people secretly regret that the sword was only centimeters away from Dong Zhuo's throat at that time. If it had been faster, the national traitors would have been killed and the world would have been peaceful! Lu Bu knocked Wu Fu down the stairs with one palm, and Dong Zhuo's guards swarmed up and captured him.
Dong Zhuo: "Who told you to assassinate me? Huh! Do you dare to rebel?"
Wu Fu: "You are not my king, and I am not your subject, so why should you do this? Your sins are so great that everyone is willing to get them and punish them. They wish they could butcher you to thank the world!"
Li Ru picked up Wu Fu's dagger from the ground and handed it to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo did not hesitate and stabbed Wu Fu in the chest with the dagger.
"ordinary man!"
"Traitor! Rebellious minister! His infamy will last forever!"
After Wu Fu cursed, he fell to the ground and died. The civil and military ministers all felt grief and regret for Wu Fu's murder. They only felt grief and regret, but only they themselves knew what they were grieving and regretting.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was granted the title of Prime Minister. He stood in obeisance without a name, entered the court without following, went to the palace with swords and shoes, stayed in the palace at night, and caused chaos in the inner court, which aroused the common indignation of the whole court and the common hatred of the whole world.
"Hahaha"
Dong Zhuo finally experienced the joy of being an emperor for once! Only Li Ru is the most sober. Nowadays, the Prime Minister has infinite glory on the surface, but there is always a sword hanging over his head. Just like today, someone can silently put this silk in his study: "Remind Fatty Dong, don't go too far. "(End of chapter)
