Chapter 443: Abolishing the Emperor in Three Days (2)
Not only Cao Cao, Yuan Shu jumped out to impeach, but more than a dozen others left the list to impeach. Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart and looked at everyone with his sword...
"The Ten Constant Instructors made a rebellion. Han Sui, a thief in Liangzhou, wanted to collude with Huangfu Song to rebellion with the Three Guards of Chang'an. Ding Yuan also colluded with the Black Mountain bandits to burn various ferries, and wanted to cooperate with the Ten Constant Instructors to cause harm to the world. At the same time, the remnants of the Baibo bandits also wanted to continue to cause harm to Hedong County."
"snort!"
"The thieves in Liangzhou, the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves in chaos, our thieves are willing to die. We have ordered Liangzhou Governor Dong Hu and Bingzhou Governor Dong Mao to lead troops to pacify the Sanfu of Chang'an, Hedong, and Henoi!"
As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, the ministers were shocked. Dong Zhuo clearly controlled Guanzhong, Hedong, and Henoi with Liang and elite troops, and surrounded Luoyang from the west and north.
"Dong Zhuo..."
"Dang!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly drew his sword, and the originally frightened crowd suddenly became quiet.
"snort!"
"We will tell you all this today... We have the strength to abolish the emperor and establish the emperor-"
...
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, Lu Bu and countless soldiers broke into the hall. The originally messy hall was standing back to their positions one by one.
"We are telling you all this, just to tell you that we have this strength, and we are not afraid that you will oppose us. However, Liangbian and Luoyang are a little further away. If we don't speak today, you will never know these things within three or two days!"
Dong Zhuo stood in front of everyone and looked at everyone coldly.
"Your Majesty is the emperor, the eldest son of the late emperor, and also ascended the throne of the emperor under the witness of the Three Dukes and the ministers. But today the only one who opposes us... This is very strange."
"It was justified when Your Majesty ascended the throne. We did not use our troops to threaten you for life and death... Even if we threaten you, some people should stand up and oppose it, but why do you shut up?"
"It was not until we asked the emperor a few days ago that the emperor answered King Chenliu's words that day that we suddenly understood why the emperor did not object."
Dong Zhuo glanced at Liu Bian who was lost and shook his head and sighed softly.
"General He Jin died at the hands of the Ten Eunuchs."
"General He Miao, the chess general, repeatedly protected the eunuch party and died in the palace."
"If His Majesty had not let Jian Shuo go who wanted to kill the general, and if the Empress Dowager had repeatedly protected the eunuch slaves in the palace, how could the Ten Eunuchs kill the general?"
"well……"
"The emperor said... Our dynasty is worried and difficult inside and outside, and the world is unstable because the eunuchs are greedy for money and abused power, and because the eunuchs bewitched the ancestors. However, the emperor, the queen mother, and He Miao all protect the eunuchs of the eunuchs... How could the princes be willing to continue to support Your Majesty and remain the emperor?"
"If all the Dukes continue to let Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager be in power, wouldn't it mean that... all those who besieged the palace were rioters? They were all ministers who plotted against rebellion?"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers' expressions changed drastically. The ten eunuchs killed the general He Jin when they were innocent and killed. They should be punished according to the crime! But this is not the reason for countless soldiers to enter the palace, nor is it the reason for countless soldiers to burn, kill, loot in the palace!
The ten eunuchs who killed the general without guilt should be punished. Countless people besieged the imperial palace, and the crime was much greater than that of Zhang Rang and others. This was no longer a matter of killing or not, but a matter of the authority of the imperial emperor, and there was no difference between open rebellion.
If the ministers involved in the besieging of the palace do not characterize this matter and do not cover all the faults on the eunuchs, they will always be charged with "siege of rebellion in the palace".
How to characterize?
Emperor Liu Bian abdicated, and Empress Dowager He was punished according to the crime!
Only by completely eliminating all those related to the "eunuch party" will they completely settle the "siege of the imperial capital" and will they completely come to an end. It is not surprising that so many ministers, but only one Lu Zhi stands up to oppose it. It is obvious that the troops have several times the absolute advantage, and Zhang Rang and others can still be forced to Liu Bian. It is not surprising that Liu Xie escaped. No one even went out of the city to find Liu Bian. The Liu Xie brothers make sense. No one cares about the life and death of the two brothers, and everyone even wants the two brothers to die outside. As for now... it is just that Dong Zhuo, an outsider, emerged suddenly, and a powerful foreign enemy suddenly appeared.
Politics are naked and cold-blooded and ruthless.
Valley
Dong Zhuo was irritable, but he was not a fool. His generals were more willing to be the emperor and ministers. Only after the emperor and ministers, Dong Min, Dong Mao, Dong Huang, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Dong Yue... they can obtain the greatest political benefits and occupy a higher position when the new emperor ascends the throne. But if Liu Bian is still in power, the three dukes can only follow the original rules and use each other to impeach or other to take office. The old and new forces will enter a long-term battle and melee, and this is not the result that a group of generals in Liangzhou are willing to see.
A group of generals in Liangzhou were more willing to Dong Zhuo to abolish Liu Bian's position as emperor. Dong Min then hurriedly recommended Li Ru to Dong Zhuo. When Li Ru first met, he persuaded Dong Zhuo to "change the dynasty" nothing.
Just as Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo privately said, "two benefits and one harm" discourse, "two benefits" is actually to let Dong Zhuo compare Yi Yin and Huo Guangxing's decree and establish Dong Zhuo's prestige in the court. Liu Bian was in his 14th and 5th year of age, and Liu Xie was less than ten years old. If Dong Zhuo was the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three dukes, it would be fine if he chose Liu Bian. The Yuan family had enough prestige and could control Liu Bian through the unison of the ministers, but Dong Zhuo did not have this prestige. Choosing the young Liu Xie to control the court became a reality. As for "one harm", it was a discourse that "one harm is difficult to respect the king". It was difficult for the generals of the Han Dynasty to die well. Since Zhang and the two emperors, generals of all dynasties died tragically without exception. Once Dong Zhuo chose to follow the path of "a general" and powerful ministers, it would be the same in 100% so that there was a saying of "a harm".
"Two benefits and one harm" is a cliché. Anyone who knows the ending of powerful ministers of various generations of the Han Dynasty can basically say these words, but the temptation of power cannot be resisted by anyone. If you have not reached that position, how can you give up just by saying that you give up? And even if Dong Zhuo wants to wave his hand and not take away a cloud, how could a group of Liangzhou generals be willing?
Dong Zhuo was very willing to abolish Liu Bian, and his desire was extremely strong, but Dong Hu, the thunder moth, unexpectedly appeared in this world. But the boy still made sure to make sure that he was correct every time. His words also made Dong Zhuo hesitate repeatedly on "destroying the emperor and establishing the emperor".
Thinking of Dong Hu's warning, hesitation, Liu Bian's answer, and the reactions of the ministers, Dong Zhuo's mind was confused. When he came to Chongde Hall, he thought of dragging it back and waiting for Dong Hu and the Dong Mao brothers to come and make a decision, but looking at the current situation...
"We have Liang and 200,000 cavalry. We are not afraid of whether His Majesty continues to be the emperor or King Chenliu is the emperor! No one of you can think of being a grandson and scolding us as before!"
Dong Zhuo pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and pointed the other hand at Liu Bian, who was dissatisfied with no one.
"In front of the emperor, let's ask you again, are there anyone who opposes the emperor's abdication, or is there anyone who opposes King Chenliu's succession to the emperor's throne?"
“…”
Dong Zhuo's legs were slightly separated, and no one spoke after half a quarter of an hour.
"Your Majesty, you have also seen it. It's not that we don't want you to continue to be the emperor, but that the nobles don't want to."
Dong Zhuo walked silently to the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and lit his chest with the hilt of the sword.
"The Ten Eternal Attendants are just a group of eunuch slaves. If you hadn't deliberately instigated the enemy, they would never have escaped from the palace from tens of thousands of troops! When we only saw Lu Shangshu go out of the city to rescue the emperor, we would know that in fact, you hope that the emperor, King Chenliu died at the hands of eunuchs, will completely confirm the eunuch's crime of killing the emperor and causing trouble to the country. Your besieging the imperial palace is not only innocent, but also the greatest hero!"
"But you didn't expect that Zhang Rang and others did not hurt His Majesty."
"hehe……"
"Tribute Yuan will not do the dirty work of 'de-electing'. Dong Zhuo will do this, but...Tribute Yuan also has to pay equality. We hope that the tutor can let go of the Shangshutai."
Dong Zhuo gently tapped the queen Yuan Wei who had changed her color below, and pulled the corner of her mouth disdainfully. He turned around and stepped out of the hall with a sword. Lu Bu looked down on all sides, holding a halberd and tightly protecting him on one side...
"If the adoptive father takes Hanoi County, it is better to let the child go. The child promises to take down the entire Hanoi County in one fell swoop!"
Lu Bu spoke, and Dong Zhuo waved his hand as if he was not concerned.
"Why should a mere Hanoi county take action first? A young general is enough to wipe out the Hanoi Montenegro bandits."
As he said that, he patted Lu Bu on the shoulder again.
"Everyone outside is hardworking and hardworking. If you want to have a future, you must stand firm in the court! You, my father and son have just entered Luoyang, and only by being cautious can you have the fate to enjoy wealth and glory."
"What the adoptive father said is that the child has recorded the teachings of his adoptive father."
"Let's go, after King Chenliu Deng, I will be appointed as the General of the Central Army for your father and you."
"I thanked my adoptive father!"
...
Lu Bu helped Dong Zhuo get on the carriage very attentively. Perhaps he had not been asleep all night. After he got on the carriage, he just took a look at the Changle Palace where Queen Mother He lives. In just a moment, snoring sounds came from the carriage...
When Zhang Wen's six-way army was defeated and Dong Zhuo was left to return safely, he was already an invisible general of the empire. Although Dong Hu, the swelling moth, was mixed up and the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan was established one year in advance, the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan had never really been on the battlefield after all, and the number was only 10,000 or 20,000 people, far from being the opponent of the 50,000 or 60,000 elite Han soldiers in Meiyang Camp. In terms of strength, Dong Zhuo still has an absolute advantage.
Dong Zhuo seemed to be away from the court, and seemed to be under Huangfu Song. In fact, he was the real helm of the tens of thousands of Meiyang Han soldiers. But even so, his speed at the stage was still unbelievable. On the 28th, he escorted Emperor Liu Bian back to Luoyang, and successfully swallowed the eighth camp in Xiyuan that day. The next day he proposed the matter of "destruction and establishment". Ding Yuan was angry and immediately fought with Dong Zhuo after returning to the camp. On the same day, Lu Bu chopped off his head that day. On the 30th, Dong Zhuo mentioned the matter of "destruction and establishment" again in Chongde Hall. What was the result? Except for Lu Zhi, the other person who opposed it in the hall, the rest of the people were silent. Is this still the extremely proud son of the Han Dynasty literati? Is this still a loyal minister who wanted to kill all the eunuchs like a chicken blood?
On the first day of September, Emperor Liu Bian abdicated and King Chenliu ascended the throne.
