Chapter 22: The Marquis of the State

A few days later, not far from the south gate of Chang'an, a large army gathered. In front of a tombstone that covers a large area and is located in an excellent location, Niu Fu came here with Li Ru, Jia Xu, and the generals of Xiliang. The monument was engraved with the "Tomb of the Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo"

Except for them, all the old ministers in the court came. It was not that they didn't come, but that Niu Fu did not force them at all, because even if he came with a knife, he would not have the intention to mess up the atmosphere.

In addition, Dong Zhuo stayed overnight in the imperial court and burned Luoyang, which was indeed unwilling tolerate the scholars of the world. Although he had ordered Li Ru to negotiate with Yang Biao and other three officials in the name of the Minister of Government Affairs and the Minister to save them as much as possible, he still lost the hearts of the people.

Niu Fu looked at the tombstone and slowly knelt down. After Li Ru and others looked at it, they also knelt down on the ground.

"Father-in-law, Yong'an is late to come back, but don't worry, Wang Yun is dead. Although Lu Bu fled out of Wuguan in a hurry and entered Nanyang, his four-member slaves will definitely not have a good end. Sooner or later, Yong'an will definitely take his head to worship you." After Niu Fu said, he kowtowed heavily.

No matter what Dong Zhuo did, he is his current father-in-law and his benefactor who raised him.

After everyone kowtowed, Li Ru next to him clasped his fists and said, "General, the Grand Tutor, all of them have died tragically except for his wife and Xin'er. We can return to Chang'an again and take revenge and bloody hatred are all the achievements of the general. The general is the son-in-law of the master, and he is in charge of the various armies of Xiliang. It is justified."

"Wen You said very much. The general refused to take the throne directly because the revenge of the Grand Tutor that day, but now the great revenge has been avenged. The time is right. In front of the Grand Tutor, he should take the lead in the position and revitalize the country." Jia Xu also bowed his head and agreed.

When the other generals heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and said, "The last general agrees."

Niu Fu looked at the tombstone, and after a little silence, he slowly stood up and turned around and said, "I have no father-in-law since childhood. I have grown up with a hundred families. Fortunately, my father-in-law appreciates it and has been honored. I will never let my father-in-law pay no respects to him. If he has descended from the future, he will choose one and give him the surname Dong alone, so that his father-in-law's incense will last for generations."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly looked happy. Knowing that Niu Fu had agreed, Li Ru took the lead and said loudly: "My minister, Li Ru, pay homage to the lord."

"Welcome to the Lord" the crowd bowed excitedly.

"Meet the lord..." Soon, continuous cheers rang out from the army outside the tomb.

Looking at the golden spears waving, the battle flags were moving, and the mighty and majestic army, Niu Fu sighed a little, thinking that he was only one of the many beings back then. Although he had good opportunities in his previous life, he did not have the power and glory of today. He inherited Dong Zhuo's hegemony, controlled a hundred thousand troops, and occupied the land of Guanzhong, and held the power of the emperor.

.....

On the second day, in the court, Niu Fu reported to the emperor that, in addition to Wang Yuntie Hall, who had been imprisoned, he decided to stop the continued search of the so-called treacherous party in the court. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of the Government Affairs Hall and the Three Dukes, he would divide his troops to station in various places as soon as possible, and turn all the attention of the court into the development of the Three Guards. He was once again enthroned as the Marquis of Changling, with a fief of 3,000 households, opened a government office and built a yamen, and took charge of everything in Guanzhong. At the same time, he appointed Jia Xu as the imperial court, who was in charge of the inside and outside of Chang'an, and completely dominated the power of Guanzhong.

After the court meeting, a group of old ministers gathered in the inner hall in Situ Ma Riyi's mansion.

"It seems that one Prime Minister Dong has died, and another Marquis of Changling came." Han Rong on the left said angrily.

"Situ and Niu Fu were appointed as the Marquis of Changling and established a government office. It was obvious that he wanted to follow Dong Zhuo and dominate the court. If he did not make any difference, it would probably be difficult for the Han Dynasty to revive," said Zhao Yan, the councillor, anxiously.

Hearing the words of the two, the white-haired Ma Riyan glanced at the left and right first positions, and the vacant positions. Zhang Xi, Yang Biao, who were also the third duke, and even the chief censor Zhao Qi did not come. He shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone, although the General of the Chariot and Cavalry has been given the throne, judging from his behavior in the past few days, he still respects the emperor very much. You don't need to worry too much."

"Situ!!" Han Rong said in surprise.

"If the Changling Marquis is wrong, the three dukes will stop you. You don't need to care so much. I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't leave you more." After Ma Riyan said that, he left directly with the help of his servant.

Seeing this scene, the officials below looked at each other and soon left with their own thoughts.

...

At the same time, on the other side, in the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion, Yang Biao sighed and stood in an elegant pavilion.

After the clear voice of "Father's Wisdom" I saw a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old with a jade crown coming here and said in admiration.

"Xu'er, how could you be wise as a father?" Yang Biao turned around and asked after hearing this.

"What is the difference between a general of chariots and cavalry, a prime minister, or a marquis of Changling? Now that the troubled times are coming, only wars and horses are the kingly way. The entire Chang'an and even Guanzhong are under the control of Xiliang. This is just a name, and the ministers began to openly meet secretly. It is estimated that Ma Situ is sitting on pins and needles at this time!" The young man, really Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu, the talent in his previous life.

After a smile, Yang Biao said, "Continue"

"Yes, father" Yang Xiu nodded and said, "Even if Niu Fu is now directly elected as emperor, the princes of other states will not only not be angry, but will actively follow the situation in the Warring States Period. If it is because of this, they will openly oppose Changling Hou, which is not to revitalize the Han Dynasty, but to cause trouble to the Han Dynasty."

When Yang Biao heard this, he finally showed a hint of praise and said, "Then what do you think of our new Marquis of the State of the Parliament?"

"I can't see now that when Dong Zhuo first entered the court, he had the idea of ​​revitalizing the world, but under the magnificent and beautiful words, he became completely degenerate. In fact, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the princes everywhere have the will to be the best and compete for hegemony. If the Marquis of Changling can respect the emperor and fight back against the treacherous ministers who attempt to usurp the Han Dynasty, what if he has the power of Huo Guang? After all, as today as Zi, he is only twelve years old. Even if he is really equipped with civil and military affairs, he is not at all time to become independent," Yang Xiudao.

Yang Biao nodded with relief, "Okay, it seems that your book has not been read in vain. You are right. If Niu Fu was really willing to help the emperor all the time and Kuang Ping in this chaotic world, then as a father, he would never do what Wang Yun did."

"Father is wise" Yang Xiu smiled.

Yang Biao shook his head and said, "It's not wise, but helpless. Since coming to Chang'an, I have been looking forward to the eighteen princes who really wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty and continue to pursue the attacks. But I was completely wrong. They were not for this at all. They were fighting for power and profit, and they completely forgot about the emperor. Maybe someone would jump out and usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent. Niu Fu's behavior these days has been carefully looked at. Whether it is the cost of the palace or the old ministers, they have not overly exploited us, and even the affairs of the Government Affairs Hall, the three dukes also have great words. Although Your Majesty is not resilient, the Han Dynasty is still there."

"What my father said is very much. As long as the man is still there, the opportunity will still be there," Yang Xiu nodded.

"Master" At this time, a butler ran over and said, "People from Cai's Mansion are asking for a visit."

"Cai Mansion" Yang Xiu was stunned.

"Father, if you guessed it well, it's because of Cai Zhonglang," Yang Xiu said at this time.

"Bo Yi" Yang Xiu reacted instantly and then said ashamed: "I almost forgot, hurry up, go to the main hall."
