Chapter 31 Dong Zhuo enters Beijing
After returning to the palace in Luoyang City, Liu Bian and Liu Xie immediately returned to the palace to rest, because after an escape, their young bodies were really unable to withstand it.
While Liu Bian and Liu Xie were resting, Dong Zhuo, relying on his role in rescuing Liu Bian, held a banquet and invited the ministers to come.
After the ministers received Dong Zhuo's invitation, although they were all very angry at Dong Zhuo's arrogance, they did not dare to offend him because he held military power after all, so they had no choice but to accept the invitation.
When the ministers and ministers of the DPRK had almost arrived, Dong Zhuo immediately announced the start of the banquet.
After the banquet started, Dong Zhuo took the jug and went around to toast.
When the ministers and ministers saw Dong Zhuo toasting in person, they had no choice but to drink with Dong Zhuo out of etiquette.
The atmosphere quickly became lively.
When the wine was in full swing, Dong Zhuo took advantage of his drunkenness and said immediately: "My lords, when I escorted the Young Emperor and the King of Bohai back to the capital, I suddenly felt that the current saints are lacking in virtue and talent. Do you think that the current saints are really capable of ruling the world?
"
Seeing what Dong Zhuo said, all the ministers were so frightened that they were not even drunk, because Dong Zhuo's words were quite treasonous.
Immediately afterwards, Henan Yin Wangyun immediately came out to smooth things over and said: "General Dong is drunk, please don't mind."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately said: "I'm not drunk. The current emperor has insufficient virtue and talent. It's better to make King Bohai the emperor instead."
After Dong Zhuo, who pretended to be drunk, took advantage of the situation and told the story about abolishing Li, the ministers were all shocked.
After a while, the governor of Bingzhou, Zhijin Wu Dingyuan, immediately shouted angrily: "Dong is a thief! How dare you say such arrogant words? The current emperor has done nothing wrong after inheriting the throne. How dare you talk about abolishing the establishment here? You are a banquet
It’s okay if you don’t go!”
After saying that, Ding Yuan stood up and prepared to leave.
When Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Jue and Guo Si saw this, they immediately drew their swords and came out.
Ding Yuan's adopted son Lu Bu immediately stood up and glared at Li Jue and Guo Si.
After being glared at by Lu Bu, Li Jue and Guo Bang took a few steps back because they sensed the domineering murderous intent in Lu Bu's eyes.
When Dong Zhuo saw Li Jue and Guo Si being forced back by Lu Bu's eyes, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal Li Jue and Guo Si to withdraw their weapons.
When Ding Yuan saw this, he snorted dissatisfiedly and left with Lu Bu.
After the other ministers of the court saw this, some followed Ding Yuan and left, while others stayed in the banquet hall.
When no one left, Dong Zhuo said: "The ones who are left behind are all my loyal ministers. You can go back home."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others left one after another.
After all the ministers of the court had left, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru who was not far away: "Wen You, Ding Yuan despises me so much, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"Back to my lord, Ding is originally the governor of Bingzhou and has tens of thousands of mercenaries. With Lu Bu as his assistant, I haven't thought of a way to defeat the enemy yet."
"Ding Yuan's troops are stationed outside the city. If we don't get rid of him, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
At this time, Li Su, the cavalry captain, stood up and asked for orders: "My lord, I have a plan to destroy Ding Yuan."
"Oh, please tell me."
"My lord, this may cause the news to leak out. I would like to have a detailed discussion with my lord alone."
Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then waved his hand to signal Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si and others to retreat.
When only Dong Zhuo and Li Su were left in the banquet hall, Li Su immediately said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, I have a close friendship with Lu Bu. If I go on an envoy, I will definitely be able to persuade Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and lead his army to surrender."
."
Seeing what Li Su said, Dong Zhuo immediately asked doubtfully: "Li Su, that Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's adopted son, are you really sure about that?"
"Back to my lord, if I want to succeed, I still need to borrow a few things from my lord."
"What?"
"One hundred taels of yellow scarves, twenty beauties, plus the BMW Red Rabbit collected by the lord."
"Gold and beauty are easy to talk about, but this war horse is the only one."
"My lord, I sacrificed a war horse to gain a peerless tiger general. I hope my lord thinks deeply about which one is more important!"
After hesitating for a moment, Dong Zhuo immediately made his decision.
Late at night, Li Su immediately left the city with gifts and came to Dingyuan Camp to ask for an audience with Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu learned from his soldiers that an old friend had arrived, he asked his soldiers to take Li Su into the camp out of curiosity.
When he saw Lu Bu, Li Su immediately took off his mask and said, "General Lu, you're fine!"
Seeing Li Su, Lu Bu immediately smiled and said, "It's you! Why are you here too?"
"General Lu, I came here on the orders of General Dong to persuade the general to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu immediately changed his face and replied: "Li Su, I think you and I are from the same hometown. I just pretended that I had never heard of what you just said. Now please leave immediately."
"General Lu, don't worry, I also brought a gift from General Dong."
"A gift? What gift?"
"A hundred taels of gold, twenty beauties, and a fine war horse."
"What? There are so many."
Seeing that Lu Bu was moved, Li Su immediately said: "General Lu, General Dong sent so many gifts because he loves talents."
After hearing this, Lu Bu thought for a while and replied: "To be honest, Master Dong's gift really moved my heart. Tell me, why did Master Dong send you here?"
"Lord Dong wants the general to abandon Ding Yuan and join his army."
"Let me think about this."
When Li Su saw this, he immediately waited patiently.
After a while, Lu Bu made up his mind to join Dong Zhuo.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu quietly entered Ding Yuan's tent and murdered Ding Yuan.
After killing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu immediately led the soldiers from Bingzhou and followed Li Su to Luoyang City.
After learning that Li Su had successfully persuaded Lü Bu to lead his army to surrender, Dong Zhuo immediately went out of the city to welcome Lü Bu into the city.
When Dong Zhuo brought Lü Bu to his mansion, he immediately took Lü Bu's hand and said, "I'm the first to come to vote. It's really like a tiger with even more wings!"
After Lu Bu heard this, he immediately knelt down and saluted and said: "Lü Bu is not talented. I have heard that General Dong has experienced hundreds of battles. Now I would like to worship General Dong as my adoptive father. He will ride on the front and the back of the horse."
Hearing what Lu Bu said, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and returned: "Okay, my son, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you stepfather."
After successfully annexing Ding Yuan's men, Dong Zhuo finally had no worries.
Not long after, Dong Zhuo summoned the ministers of the DPRK again and threatened to follow Huo Guang's example of abolishing the throne.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's ambition, Yuan Shao immediately became furious and said: "Dong is a thief, I, Yuan Shao, are ashamed to associate with him."
After saying that, Yuan Shao stood up and left.
When Dong Zhuo saw this, he did not stop Yuan Shao because he was still concerned about the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.
After Yuan Shao left, some other ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty also got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo had no scruples and immediately ordered his soldiers to go on a killing spree.
When the ministers who had not stood up saw those who had stood up being killed by Dong Zhuo's soldiers, they all turned their heads away and could not bear to watch.
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily when he saw this, because he enjoyed the sight of being in power very much.
After killing some ministers who were unwilling to depose him, Dong Zhuo immediately asked the remaining ministers who had not yet stood up: "Are you willing to depose the young emperor and make King Chenliu and Liu Xie the emperor instead?"
After hearing this, the ministers replied tremblingly: "I have no objection!"
After getting the result he wanted, Dong Zhuo immediately laughed and left the banquet hall.
After that, Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was deposed and Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, ascended the throne as emperor.
