"Dong Gong, what do you think?"
Dong Zhuo had a gloomy look on his face and remained silent, but he had already thought of a plan in his heart. He wanted to capture Ding Yuan first and annex the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, so that he could intimidate the ministers.
Who dares to be my enemy then?
"Wang Yun takes leave..."
Wang Yun bowed, then held the sword handle and left in a hurry. He was afraid that Dong Zhuo would regret it and become angry with him again.
"Farewell~"
"Mr. Dong, I'll take my leave~"
When Dong Zhuo saw that all the ministers had left, he blew his nose and glared. He angrily pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed it on the table.
Click~
The table immediately broke in response, and then half of his anger was gone.
Seeing this, Li Ru hurried over and consoled him: "My lord, please calm down. All the ministers are afraid of my lord today. In fact, they have gained power. Do you think any of these people act without looking at my lord's face?"
"Haha, okay! Get rid of Na Dingyuan first, and then plan to abolish Li Li."
"It's a pity that the Xiliang army has not arrived yet, otherwise I would not allow you to act so arrogantly."
When I received He Jin's secret edict, I only selected 5,000 soldiers and horses to come and find out what was going on. If the situation was not good, I would just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
That day, seeing the flames soaring into the sky from the direction of Luoyang, he led the Xiliang army commander to drive straight in and met the emperor Liu Bian halfway.
"That's natural. As long as the ministers in the court are stabilized and the Xiliang army arrives in Luoyang, my lord's great cause will be accomplished."
"OK!"
………
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Outside Liu Bian's palace, Xue Rengui came with Ding Yuan and Lu Bu.
"Your Majesty is inside, please!"
Ding Yuan was slightly startled. There were not many opportunities to enter the inner court to meet the emperor. If he was seen by others, it might arouse suspicion.
After all, going in and out of the inner courtyard at night is really a bit unreasonable.
Ding Yuan glanced at Lu Bu, who said helplessly: "Father, I'm waiting outside!"
"General Lu, Your Majesty has also given instructions that you can go in with the governor."
"Ah this..."
Lu Bu was overjoyed, who wouldn't want to meet the emperor, and it seemed that the emperor knew that although he was doing well under Ding Yuan, he was not a high-ranking official or well-paid person.
"Since His Majesty has summoned me, I will first follow my father to see His Majesty frequently."
"No~"
The three of them walked into the palace. At this time, Liu Bian was drawing a map of the palace in Luoyang City. Now that the palace was under control, strengthening the defense of the inner court was the top priority.
Only by being like an iron bucket can you stay in power longer. Tomorrow will be the battle between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, right?
"Your Majesty, Governor Ding, General Lu is here!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Ding Yuan knelt down and bowed, and Lu Bu also knelt down and bowed.
"General, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Lu Bu looked at Liu Bian from the corner of his eyes. He didn't expect him to be so young. Is this the emperor of Han Dynasty?
No wonder Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the old and establish the new!
"Ding Aiqing, General Lu, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Bian smiled slightly and said: "You who attended Dong Zhuo's banquet should know that he is ambitious and wants to seize the land of the Han Dynasty and dethrone me as emperor."
"His Majesty…"
Ding Yuan was extremely shocked, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. The emperor in front of him was so powerful, and he didn't look like he was at the mercy of others.
"I and Dong Zhuo are incompatible with each other. This act of abolishing the throne is seeking power and usurping the throne. I am preparing to lead troops to attack Dong Zhuo tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty, with Lu Bu here, no matter how many soldiers and horses Dong Zhuo has, he is no match for us."
Liu Bian praised: "Well, I have heard a little bit about General Lu's bravery."
"I want to make you Colonel Huben. What does General Lu think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Lu Bu knelt down and worshiped, his joy was beyond words, he was finally able to stand out.
"General Lu, as long as you wholeheartedly support the Han Dynasty on my behalf, I will make you a marquis and a general from now on."
You should know that it is difficult for general Zhonglang generals to be rewarded. Zhonglang generals like Dong Zhuo have too little gold content and are not recognized by the court.
When Lu Zhi suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Hong also made him the Beizhong Lang General. Later, he defeated the Yellow Turban but had no money to bribe the ten constant servants before he was unjustly imprisoned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... I have decided to go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Well, don't worry, I'll give you a task, and you'll do it professionally."
When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at Liu Bian confused, what does this mean?
"Ding Aiqing, my father is now heading west. The court is in chaos. The ten regular servants, He Jin and others were all wiped out. The court has just been settled, but trouble has occurred again."
"Dong Zhuo wants to do what Yi Yin did back then, and I want to punish him. I wonder if Ding Aiqing can help me?"
Ding Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my ancestors all lived on Han's salary, how can I not help your Majesty? This is what a minister should do."
"OK!"
"The chaos in the world today is not caused by his personal ambition, but by the powerful family that controls the Han Dynasty. If you kill one Dong Zhuo, there will be thousands of Dong Zhuo."
"There are Longxi clans behind Dong Zhuo. I want to eliminate these forces together. Although I can easily take Dong Zhuo's life, I am afraid that the clans in the world will be dissatisfied. I must make him a rebellious traitor. Then I will have the opportunity to attack the clans behind him."
Ding Yuan's face changed drastically when he heard this. The emperor actually had such a city and wanted to replace the famous families in the world. You must know that even Emperors Huan and Ling couldn't do it, and they didn't dare to do it.
"Ding Aiqing, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, made a great wish: Wherever the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers reach, all are Han lands!"
"The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty destroyed six kingdoms and unified the world. He was one emperor throughout the ages. Now the Eastern Han Dynasty is at the end of its road. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country."
"Are you willing to help me and help the Han Dynasty!"
Ding Yuan was very excited when he heard this. How could he not be moved by such impassioned words.
"I am willing to serve His Majesty and follow His Majesty to the death."
"good!"
"The inner court is now under the control of my personal guards. You only need to deal with Dong Zhuo. I ordered you to mobilize a large army from Bingzhou to Beijing. The main force of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army has not yet arrived in Luoyang. If Dong Zhuo dies, his subordinates Niu Fu and Li Generals such as Jue Guo Si will definitely lead their troops to Luoyang."
Liu Bian knew how powerful the poisonous warrior Jia Xu was. Without his advice, Li Jue and Guo Si gathered the remnants of the Xiliang Army and assembled a hundred thousand troops to capture Chang'an City. The situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty would have been very different.
"promise!"
"I will ask Fengqian to go to Bingzhou to mobilize troops tonight!"
Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "No... General Lu, I still have great use."
"Your Majesty, just ask me to serve first..."
"Okay, Fengxian, with your courage, even though Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is brave and good at fighting, they are by no means your opponent."
The Dong family's army consists of three major components: one is the descendants of the Dong family, the other is the Hehuang Qiang people, and the other is the Huns who migrated south.
Therefore, these Xiliang troops were all murderous masters, as cruel as Dong Zhuo, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes.
The people of Luoyang City were persecuted and their hearts were in panic!
"I predict that he will definitely be defeated, but someone in Dong Zhuo's army knows Fengxian, and he will bring jewelry to persuade him to let Fengxian change his family."
When Lü Bu heard this, he hurriedly said: "My foster father treated Bo Bo with as much kindness as a mountain. How could Bu do this, let alone Dong's thief..."
"Haha, don't be alarmed. I want you to use this trick. If Dong Zhuo really sends someone to surrender to you, you will surrender him and recognize him as your adoptive father to gain your trust. When Dong Zhuo wants to usurp the throne, you will kill him. In the court hall, in front of all the ministers."
"this…"
Ding Yuan was extremely shocked. The emperor in front of him was too wise. He was not afraid of danger and was thoughtful.
Is this still a teenage boy?
"Ding Aiqing, this matter depends on your cooperation. If Lu Bu wants to surrender, he must take your head. He can use a fake head to imitate it so that Dong Zhuo will have no suspicion."
"Order the Bingzhou Army to be incorporated into the Xiliang Army. Once Dong Zhuo dies, no one from the Xiliang Army will be left alive."
"If this is accomplished, I would like to make you a Taiwei. You should be ranked among the three Dukes. You will also be given the title of Marquis Wen first."
Liu Bian knew that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, so he created the illusion that Ding Yuan was holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
At that time, we will be able to severely beat the major aristocratic families and the clans of various states and counties. Of course, the system will need to be reformed.
Otherwise, how would the Han Dynasty develop? How can we unify the world in the future?
The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and their reputation is greater than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty emperor.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the mighty emperor was just a tool for others to achieve their hegemony.
