Luoyang City, Imperial Palace, Yongle Palace.
All the ministers gathered here. They have received the news from Liu Zhang. The successor to the throne will be confirmed today!
Liu Zhang had been waiting here early. He did not bring any soldiers to the palace today, which made the ministers feel relieved.
"General Wei, all the ministers have arrived, can we start?"
Empress Dowager Dong was impatient. Ding Yuan was dead and she had heard about Dong Zhuo's annexation of the state army. Now Liu Xie's succession to the throne could be said to be foolproof!
"Haha, the Queen Mother, wait a moment, there is still one person who has not come."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile in his heart. Dong Zhuo was really crazy. Before everything was settled, he started to get carried away!
In past court meetings, Dong Zhuo must have arrived early and stood in the crowd waiting. Today he will appear as the finale!
Liu Zhang glanced at the Queen Mother He beside him, feeling a little sympathy in his heart.
Queen Mother He's face has long lost its charm. Ever since Liu Zhang refused and Ding Yuan was killed, she has become despairing! Waiting for the announcement of the emperor's successor every day is like suffering!
Boom! There was a noise. The gates of Yongle Palace were opened at the same time, and countless soldiers poured in.
Thump thump thump thump!
These soldiers rushed into the hall with neat steps, and then lined up on both sides, and everyone was carrying a weapon!
Then a general came in, wearing shining golden armor and holding a Fangtian painted halberd. It was Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's newly recognized adopted son!
After Lu Bu confirmed that there was no problem, Dong Zhuo put on his armor and held a sword in his hand, and slowly stepped into the palace! It can be described as extremely arrogant!
Every minister in the palace looked extremely ugly. Not long after Liu Zhang had calmed down, another Dong Zhuo suddenly appeared!
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, pays homage to Empress Dowager Dong. Empress Dowager He, please excuse me for being in armor and unable to salute!"
Empress Dowager Dong knew that Dong Zhuo was a supporter of Liu Xie, so she didn't care at all and quickly asked him to stand up.
"General Dong, there is no need to be polite. I heard that the general just wiped out the rebels. It was really hard!"
"Hahaha, the old thief Ding Yuan has plotted evil and has been killed by me! Please rest assured, the Queen Mother! If anyone attempts to rebel in the future, my sword will definitely not be polite!"
Dong Zhuo directly took out the sword from his waist and stabbed it into the ground.
Queen He's face turned pale and she couldn't help but tremble all over. The moment the sword hit the ground, it seemed to pierce her heart, which frightened her!
All the ministers looked at Dong Zhuo's wanton behavior in silence, with not only incomparable anger but also deep fear in their eyes! Ding Yuan has set an example for them, and now his head is missing!
"General Dong, this is Changle Palace, not your military camp. How dare you be so bold as to wield swords and guns here? Aren't you afraid of surprising the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!"
Finally, someone stood up, and it was the young minister who once criticized Dong Zhuo angrily! However, Dong Zhuo also changed his name from General Dong.
"What did you say?"
Dong Zhuo's tone was extremely disdainful, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Dong Zhuo, this is the palace, not your camp. You can't even think about showing off your power here! In my opinion, you just want to plot..."
"Ah!...Ugh!"
Before the servant finished speaking, there was a scream, and a painted halberd had passed through his chest!
It was Lu Bu who stood behind the minister and ended his life without hesitation!
"ah!"
Various screams suddenly sounded in the hall, and then chaos began.
"Don't panic!"
As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, the soldiers on both sides stepped forward and showed the butcher knives in their hands.
Sure enough, when faced with life and death, people are the most obedient. When they see the bright long knife, no one dares to make any noise.
It's just that many ministers have been frightened, and those who are trembling on the spot are all good. Many people have peed their pants, and Yongle Palace is filled with the smell of urine!
Another person couldn't stand Dong Zhuo's atrocities and stood up angrily. However, he led the conflict to Liu Zhang.
"General Wei, now that you are the leader of the military generals, are you just sitting back and watching Dong Zhuo's cholera court?"
Liu Zhang looked at Yuan Feng who was questioning him, with a smile on his face.
"I, Liu Zhang, am General Wei, not a general. I have no authority to control the troops in various places. But Yuan Sikong, why don't you ask General Dong?"
All Yuan Feng's words were blocked by Liu Zhang, and now Liu Zhang strangled his clever plan in the cradle!
Seeing Dong Zhuo act so boldly, Yuan Feng felt a little happy! If Dong Zhuo did this, he would definitely challenge Liu Zhang's authority. How could Liu Zhang tolerate Dong Zhuo causing trouble under his nose? This will inevitably trigger a war between the two, and then Yuan will be able to reap the benefits!
It's a pity that Liu Zhang told Yuan Feng with practical actions that not only can I tolerate it, but I don't care at all!
"Is Yuan Sikong expensive this year?"
"In two more years, I will be in my sixties."
Yuan Feng had just answered Liu Zhang's question when he saw Dong Zhuo walking towards him with his sword in hand. Although he was confident that Dong Zhuo would not dare to attack him, this move also made Yuan Feng tremble in his heart.
Liu Zhang winked at Dong Zhuo, who immediately understood and stepped forward to grab Yuan Feng's shoulders with both hands.
"Yuan Sikong has been an official for many years, and his hard work has made great achievements! In Dong's opinion, it is better to return home as soon as possible to retire!"
The ministers headed by Yuan's family all widened their eyes. Dong Zhuo was so wanton and reckless. He was not a general, but he actually wanted to kill Yuan Feng, one of the three princes!
"I...you..."
Yuan Feng's face was very interesting. He was angry but did not dare to vent, for fear of irritating Dong Zhuo.
"General Dong, Yuan Sikong is an important minister of the imperial court and a pillar of the country. He has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. How can he be dismissed innocently?"
Dong Zhuo glanced at the speaker, and it was Yuan's subordinates who stood up.
"You don't agree with Yuan Sikong's retirement?"
"How can the Han Dynasty and Luoyang City be separated from Yuan Sikong!"
Dong Zhuo was amused by this man. He could really give Yuan Feng a thumbs up!
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay!"
Dong Zhuo was not angry at all because of being contradicted, but his face was full of smiles. He looked at Lu Bu gently and gave him a look.
This Yuan family member did not realize his situation at all, but was complacent in making great contributions to the Yuan family!
"General Dong can keep Yuan Sikong, it is really a blessing for all people! Hahaha...ah!"
Still the same fate, the painted halberd came out from the back and chest! Lu Bu was even more ruthless this time. He directly picked the person up in the air and threw him out hard!
This time the visual impact was even greater. There was no anger in the ministers’ eyes, replaced by fear! What on earth does Dong Zhuo want to do? Does he really dare to go on a killing spree in Yongle Palace?
