In September of the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo forced the young emperor to come to the Jiade Palace. He also called on all the civil and military officials of the court to gather together!
Seeing that all the ministers and officials from the court had arrived as promised, and after waiting for the time to mature, Dong Zhuo, escorted by the two fierce generals Wu Wenhua and Niu Mowang, strode to the center of the palace. He saw that he regarded the emperor as nothing, and turned his back to the young emperor. Looking around at all the officials in the palace, he then pulled out the sword from his waist, put it in his hand, looked at everyone with a joking face, and said slowly: "The emperor has no talent and incompetence, and he is not enough to protect the country and the country of the Han Dynasty. Now I have a plan. The article can be read out at this time, and I ask you all to listen attentively!"
Dong Zhuo then ordered his son-in-law Li Ru to come to him and read out this policy:
Emperor Xiaoling abandoned his subjects long ago; the emperor inherited the throne and looked inside the sea. However, the emperor was frivolous in nature, did not abide by his majesty, and was slow and lazy in his mourning. If he was not as virtuous as he was in power, he would not hold a high position. The empress dowager taught no motherly rituals, and her government was in chaos. The Empress Dowager Yongle collapsed suddenly, and everyone was confused and confused. Aren’t there gaps in the three cardinal principles and the order of heaven and earth? Chenliu Wangxie has great saintly virtues and solemn rules. When he is in mourning, he does not speak evil words. He has a good reputation and is heard all over the world. He should inherit the great deeds and be the leader for all generations. I hereby depose the emperor as King Hongnong, and the Empress Dowager returns to power. Please appoint King Chenliu as the emperor, in order to obey the will of heaven and the people, and to comfort the hope of living beings.
The general meaning is that since the young emperor came to the throne, his personality was frivolous and ungrateful, he lacked majesty, he was disrespectful and had bad moral character, which was a disgrace to the imperial power. However, the queen was incompetent in teaching, had no adulterous appearance, and interfered in the government affairs again, causing a mess in the court. Compared with the young emperor, King Chenliu had both political integrity and talent, was cautious in his words and deeds, and had a good reputation, so he was suitable to succeed the Han Dynasty. imperial power……
As Li Ru finished reading the policy, Dong Zhuo's face showed chills and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. In front of the frightened and disbelieving eyes of the officials in the palace, he scolded the guards Wu Wenming and Niu Mowang to help the young emperor down from the palace, and Take off his seal and make him kneel facing the north, bow his head and obey the new king's orders.
The young emperor was very young, how could he have seen such a scene? He burst into tears in the hall, which made all the officials in the hall look embarrassed. They wanted to come forward to comfort him, but they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's power and did not dare to make a mistake!
Seeing that no one of the officials in the court dared to come forward to comfort the young emperor, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and then dispatched well-armed soldiers outside the palace, led by Nangong Chang Wan, Wang Feng, Liang Lin, and Liang Fang. Call the queen mother and ask her to take off her queen's clothes and wait for the new emperor's imperial edict.
The emperor and the empress knelt down to the north of the palace, hugging each other and weeping. Gradually they began to howl loudly. All the officials in the palace felt pain in their hearts and were shocked and angered by Dong Zhuo's behavior!
At this time, a minister in the palace stepped out from among the hundreds of officials. He raised his arm and pointed at Dong Zhuo's nose. He shouted angrily: "The traitor Dong Zhuo has no respect for his superiors. He took advantage of the thousands of soldiers under his command. , you dare to dethrone the king, and you dare to make plans to deceive the heavens. I am ashamed of being a minister of the late emperor, and I should splash blood on my neck!"
I saw the official burst into tears, beating his chest, and then waving the bamboo slip in his hand, trying to rush to the center of the palace to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo. First\./issued\./updated\./new`..mobile version
Dong Zhuo saw that someone dared to disobey him, so he became furious and hurriedly shouted to his warriors to capture this ignorant guy. When the officials saw this, they hurriedly bowed their heads and begged: This person is Shangshu Ding Guan, please don't harm Dong Gong. His life!
How could Dong Zhuo, who was so angry, care so much? No matter if you are a minister, a situ, or a tutor, if you dare to disobey yourself, you will be killed!
"Where is the Imperial Master's Golden Platform? How should we deal with this thief? No need to talk nonsense, right?"
Imperial Master Jintai's eyes were gloomy and complicated. He looked at the young emperor and empress kneeling in the palace and sighed helplessly. Then he stepped out of the line with his hands and punched Ding Guan, then dragged him by the neck and left the palace, and ordered him to leave. The soldiers under his command beheaded him, then carried Ding Guan's head into the palace, threw it at Dong Zhuo's feet, and retreated away!
Before Shangshu Ding Guan was beheaded, he looked at the imperial master Jintai with complicated eyes, wondering why he had become a thief. But after Jintai whispered to him, he suddenly realized, and then he died generously. When he left the palace, he shouted angrily as he walked. He scolded Dong as a thief until he died, and then he became silent!
According to this record in the original work, later generations sighed in poetry and said:
The traitor Dong Qian was pregnant with the idea of abandoning the plan, and the Han family clan and social committee Qiuxu.
All the ministers and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were included, but Duke Ding was the only husband.
After Ding Guan died, Dong Zhuo kicked his head outside the palace, then pulled out the long sword from his waist and invited King Chenliu to the palace in front of all the civil and military officials.
All the ministers in the palace were afraid of Dong's power and congratulated King Chenliu on his death.
After he was established as the new emperor, Dong Zhuo ordered his Xiliang soldiers to help the Queen Mother He, King Hongnong and the emperor's concubine enter Yong'an Palace, and then ordered his generals to seal Yong'an Palace and strictly prohibit all officials from entering. If there is any disobedience, Kill them all without leaving any room.
So far, it is pitiful that the young emperor ascended the throne in April, was deposed by the Dong thief in September, and was the emperor for only a few months. What a pity, what a pity!
After that, Dong Zhongying established Chenliu King Liu Xie, whose cousin was Bohe. He was the middle son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was known as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in history. Emperor Xian was nine years old at the time. The year was changed to Chu Ping, and Dong Zhuo was appointed as Prime Minister (a helpless move), and he was allowed to worship unknown people, enter the court without any hesitation, and wear swords in the palace. This made Dong Zhuo dominate and dominate the court. Even overshadowed the newly established Han Xian Emperor!
After that, the civil service was in turmoil. From the powerful scholar-bureaucrats to the traders and footmen, they were all shocked by Dong Zhuo's actions and angrily cursed him as an unscrupulous traitor. They were then hunted down by soldiers from Xiliang, and those who ransacked their homes in Luoyang City were killed. More than a thousand people were bleeding like rivers, and no one dared to scold Dong Zhuo in public anymore. After that, Dong Zhuo became even more popular!
Li Ru, the son-in-law of Dong's thief, saw that there were many idle officials in the court (some of whom were directly exterminated because of their disobedience to Dong Zhuo), so he advised Dong Zhuo to promote celebrities in order to win over the people's reputation. Later, Li Ru recommended Cai to Cai. Yong's talent.
In order to increase his reputation, Dong Zhuo accepted his son-in-law's advice, and then sent his adopted son Nangong Changwan to the Cai Mansion to invite Cai Yong to become an official. He went to invite him many times, but Cai Yong was unwilling to become an official.
Cai Yong's move directly made Dong Zhuo angry, and he directly sent Nangong Chang Wan to tell Cai Yong: "If you don't come to serve as an official in the court this time, then I will ask the Xiliang soldiers under my command to destroy the nine tribes and introduce them to Cai Yong." At that time, your wife and children were all raped by your daughter, so don’t blame me, Dong Zhuo, for being unkind!"
As soon as this was conveyed, Cai Yong was instantly frightened. In desperation, he could only say that he was forced to agree to become an official in the court, so he went to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor the next day (actually, he just met Dong Zhuo and showed his face to make Dong Zhuo happy). .
Dong Zhuo saw Cai Yong in the main hall, laughed loudly, and then praised: "Your Majesty, with the help of the Cai family, the Han Dynasty will prosper forever!" After that, Dong Zhuo promoted Cai Yong to the official position three times within a month, and finally appointed him He served as a servant and treated him extremely favorably. .
