Liu Zhang retreated bravely, giving up the right to dominate the government and the public, giving up the power at his fingertips, giving up too much! All the ministers couldn't help but have a question in their minds. Did Liu Zhang, who was not even a young man, really have such a high level of consciousness?
Maybe, maybe not, but in any case, Liu Zhang proved to everyone with his practical actions that he had no intention of dominating the court, let alone the idea of being a powerful minister!
Perhaps, we have all misunderstood Liu Zhang, he is the real loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
At this time, the ministers had such an idea in their minds! Unfortunately, it was too late, Liu Zhang had already left the court! What they are about to face is Dong Zhuo, a real national thief who is dozens of times more ferocious than Liu Zhang!
"Ministers, Yuan Feng has returned home to take care of his old age, and General Wei Liu Zhang has stopped interfering in political affairs. Then everything in the court will fall on our family! But please don't worry, our family is not afraid of being affected. Leave it to our family, there will be no problem!”
The ministers couldn't help but become disheartened when they heard Dong Zhuo's righteous and hypocritical words! Now that the imperial court is in Dong Zhuo's hands, what will happen next?
"Dong Sikong!"
A pleasant female voice came, and Dong Zhuo quickly turned around, but he didn't expect it to be Queen Mother He!
"What's the matter Queen Mother?"
Dong Zhuo looked at Queen Mother He unscrupulously with a greedy look on his face.
Not only did Queen Mother He not show any anger, but she frequently made some small moves to tease Dong Zhuo.
"Dong Sikong, didn't General Wei just say that the late emperor left a decree for the eldest prince Liu Bian to succeed to the throne. I wonder what Dong Sikong thinks?"
Although Dong Zhuo coveted the body of Queen Mother He, he was not blinded by lust. He knew that he could not do such a thing overnight.
"Haha, the Queen Mother misunderstood. General Wei just made a small metaphor. But if the Queen Mother He still has doubts, she might as well discuss it with the Queen Mother He alone..."
Dong Zhuo was so bold that he dared to openly take advantage of Queen Mother He! But something happened that shocked all the ministers even more. Queen Mother He actually nodded!
"Everyone, our family has long said that the second prince Liu Xie is talented and intelligent, and is suitable for serving in the ancestral temple and inheriting the country! Our family has seen the future and will be suitable to ascend the throne in ten days. At that time, all the ministers will work with our family to support the new emperor!"
None of the ministers responded to Dong Zhuo's words, they were all silent, and Dong Zhuo was filled with anger!
"Listen to me! From now on, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish! Anyone who disobeys me will be killed immediately!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and thrust it into the ground again!
"As commanded..."
After all, they chose to save their lives. The ministers no longer had a stalemate with Dong Zhuo for their beliefs, and they all chose to surrender!
"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! Wouldn't it be better if you just did this earlier!"
Dong Zhuo finally laughed heartily, feeling truly satisfied at this moment!
"Yang Biao, now that Situ's position is vacant, we will give it to you!"
Yang Biao looked at Dong Zhuo in confusion, his eyes full of suspicion. He didn't believe his ears at all now!
"What, you don't want Situ's position?"
"Ah! Yes, yes!"
After Dong Zhuo confirmed again, Yang Biao reacted and quickly thanked him, completely forgetting that he was still against Dong Zhuo before!
"Thank you Dong Sikong. Yang Biao will do his best to live up to Dong Sikong's high expectations!"
Why did Yang Biao change so quickly? It was because Situ's position was too important to him!
Yang Biao's father, grandfather (grandfather), great-grandfather, was a military official to a lieutenant! Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the official position of Taiwei seemed to be prepared for the Yang family!
The biggest reason why the current family is headed by the Yuan family and the Yang family is willing to take second place is that by the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, no one from the Yang family was in the position of San Gong!
On the other hand, the Yuan family has never ceased its duties as an official! Now even the Taiwei has been snatched away by the Yuan family!
Yang Biao is a man with ideals and ambitions, how could he be willing to be inferior to the Yuan family! But there is nothing he can do at the moment, all he can do is endure! This time Dong Zhuo suddenly promoted him, allowing Yang Biao to see the dawn of setting foot in a top aristocratic family again.
"snort!"
A discordant voice suddenly appeared in the hall, with anger, irritation and a trace of jealousy. It was Yuan Wei who looked at Yang Biao with an unkind expression.
The Yuan family, who was accustomed to sitting in the first place, naturally did not want to see the Yang family rise again. Yang Biao's promotion to Situ this time will undoubtedly challenge Yuan's status!
Dong Zhuo showed a sneer, he just wanted this reaction from Yuan Wei! The more fierce the dispute between the Yuan family and the Yang family, the better. Only when the two top families of Yuan and Yang confront each other can the conflict be transferred, and Dong Zhuo's position will become more and more stable.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, gentlemen! Please go back and rest!"
The emperor's successor has been decided, and things have finally settled. Next, Dong Zhuo only needs to stabilize the situation in the court, and he can move forward step by step to higher ground!
The ministers resigned one after another, and Queen Mother He also flirted with Dong Zhuo before leaving. Only Dong Zhuo and Queen Mother Dong were left in the palace.
Because Liu Xie was able to ascend the throne, Empress Dowager Dong was in a good mood these days, her face was radiant, and her face was even more rosy, which fascinated Dong Zhuo even more.
"Dong Sikong, is there anything else?"
Empress Dowager Dong frowned slightly. Dong Zhuo's eyes were too rude. He stared at her unscrupulously, and his eyes seemed to penetrate her clothes!
Now all power is under Dong Zhuo's control, the troops and horses in Luoyang City are gradually being replaced, and the imperial guards in the palace have also been withdrawn by Liu Zhang. It won't be long before Luoyang City is filled with Dong Zhuo's people inside and outside!
"I supported Liu Xie's ascension to the throne. Shouldn't the Queen Mother thank Dong?"
Dong Zhuo can no longer hold back, now he can really be unscrupulous!
Gently waving his hand back, Lu Bu immediately understood what was happening behind him, and immediately led all the soldiers out of the hall. Only Dong Zhuo and the Empress Dowager Dong were left in Yongle Palace!
"Dong Sikong... Aijia... Aijia... Thank you..."
Seeing Dong Zhuo approaching step by step, Empress Dowager Dong was already frightened. You could tell what Dong Zhuo was thinking from his narrow eyes!
Empress Dowager Dong had already stood up and kept moving back, but when she took one step back, Dong Zhuo took two steps closer!
Finally, Dong Zhuo forced her to the wall and grabbed Empress Dowager Dong's wrist.
"Dong Sikong, what are you going to do! How dare you be rude to the Ai family!"
Empress Dowager Dong was extremely ashamed and angry. Since the death of her husband, she had always adhered to women's ethics and had not let a man touch her for many years!
"Haha, you have to be clear. If I can put Liu Xie on the throne, I can pull him down! I believe that Queen Mother He will do anything for his son!"
Seeing Dong Zhuo's greedy look and those big hands that kept approaching, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but shed painful tears.
