"Lord …" "Lord …" Lv Bu could no longer control himself, and suddenly rushed forward like a madman, with a "plop" sound, he knelt on the ground, picked up Ding Yuan's head and started wailing. The mournful wails echoed endlessly in the vast Mang Shan.
Dong Zhuo's expression was lonely, as he silently looked at Lv Bu who was in extreme pain, and his eyes slowly revealed a trace of deep sorrow. Maybe one day, I would also think that Ding Yuan's head would be chopped off like someone else. At that time, who would hold my head and sit on the ground and cry while crying?
"Never! My head must not be cut off! We must not let them cut us down! " Dong Zhuo was shocked, a killing intent immediately rose from his chest. I'm the only one who kills others in this world, no one is allowed to kill me! If anyone dares to even touch a single hair on my head, I will slaughter their entire clan! "
Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the others followed Lv Bu and knelt on the ground, crying sorrowfully. Their foreheads were pressed against the cold ground, barely able to support their tottering bodies.
"Alright, stop crying." Seeing so many people crying for Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo also felt a little sad. "He walked forward and helped the pale-faced Lv Bu up. Now that you have surrendered to me, you will be my men. From now on, the Zhanzhou cavalry will be under your command, you immediately gather all the Zhanzhou cavalry s and set up camp, bringing them back to the northern troop. "
"Yes sir!" Since he had already surrendered, Lv Bu could only resign himself to fate. Fortunately his brothers were still together, he hesitated for a moment before clasping his hands together and bowing towards Dong Zhuo, then said to Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the rest: "Let's go!"
Looking at the backs of Lv Bu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and the rest, Dong Zhuo turned his head and said to Li Ru, Li Que, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and the others who were behind him: "This Lv Bu is truly a loyal man! I like it, he's a man indeed! "
"Lord Sikong, because he is a man, we cannot not be wary of him …" Of course, Li Ru could also tell that and his subordinates were just forces that couldn't be ignored. They might even hurt him. Lord Sikong, Zhanzhou cavalry was actually a powerful master that was on par with our West Cold Cavalry … "
"Li Que, bring your team to follow Lv Bu to gather the scattered Union State troops. Also, station their living quarters beside yours, so that I can keep an eye on these Zhanzhou cavalry s in case of any accidents." Dong Zhuo would not easily believe a soldier's words, he then pointed to Li Su: You and Lv Bu are both from Union State, stay with Lv Bu for the next two days. If he wants to follow us, he can have the money, or the woman, or my red rabbit horse. If he doesn't want to, then kill him, so as not to leave any trouble behind. "
"Lord Sikong, I have a plan that can make Lv Bu sincerely seek refuge in Lord Sikong." Li Ru laughed sinisterly, his eyes blinking as he said, "Tomorrow morning, let the soldiers spread the news that Lv Bu killed Ding Yuan and gave his head to the Lord Sikong. After that, the Lord Sikong bestowed him another official position. Other than following Lord Sikong, who else would dare to take him? "
In the morning, Master Tutor Yuan Zhong was still presided over by Sikong Dong Zhuo due to his illness. The ministers whispered to each other, discussing the battle cries outside the North Gate last night, one by one guessing, who exactly was Ding Yuan fighting with, stationed outside the North Gate?
Dong Zhuo suddenly walked forward and stood in the middle of the hall, facing the officials and officials, and said loudly: "Today, the Son of Heaven is impotent and incompetent, pampered evil officials, causing chaos in the Luoyang, and social unrest. How can a Sovereign King like him flatter the ancestors and become the master of the world? Today, I want to follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang and depose the Son of Heaven, and change King Chen Liu to emperor.
Everyone in the hall was stunned silent as they stared at Dong Zhuo, at a loss for words. To them, this was simply too shocking, so much so that they did not dare to even think about it. Emperor, what a sacred word, can it be so casually abandoned?
Just then, ten fully armed Xiliang soldier s led by Li Ru suddenly rushed in. The soldiers lined up on both sides of the hall, eyeing the scene like tigers stalking their prey. The atmosphere in the Gardner Hall was so tense that it was suffocating. At the same time, Niu Fu led a few hundred Steel Cavalry and surrounded the Gardner Hall, while Hu Zhen brought a thousand Steel Cavalry to surround the palace so that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Dong Zhuo paced back and forth in the great hall with his hands behind his back. He was not in a hurry, he was only looking coldly at the ministers in the great hall, as if he was looking at his captive. After a very long time, he slowly asked, "Do you all agree?"
The hall remained silent, dead silent. Some of them were angry, some were frightened, some were at a loss, some were calm and some had a face full of indifference, but facing the aggressive and murderous Dong Zhuo, no one said a word …
However, Dong Zhuo did not have the patience to do so. He angrily waved his hand and said: "In the past, when Huo Guang set a plan to depose us, Tian Yan Nian wielded the longsword and killed everyone who was against him. Today, I will do the same, whoever dares to oppose this plan shall be killed. "
The ministers remained silent.
Finally, the Shang Shu Zhi stood up and looked at Dong Zhuo with disdain. He said coldly: "Previously, when I ascended to the throne, I couldn't get myself into a clear slumber, and the crime committed by the Changyi King was too grave, thus the matter of Yi Yin and Huo Guang being deposed was decided. However, the Son of Heaven has only inherited for three months, and I am not even fifteen years old yet. In my opinion, the deportation of the Lord is fake, and the sole possession of the power is real. Does the Lord wish to harm my big brother, the Heavenly Mystery? "
Dong Zhuo was furious, he pointed at Lu Zhi and bellowed: "Men! "Grab it, push it out and chop it."
Sanglang's Uncle Peng turned pale with fright as he kneeled and pleaded, "Lord Sikong, please calm your anger. Lord Lu Zhi and Lord Sikong are the same. If Lord Sikong were to kill Master Lu in anger, wouldn't everyone in the world misunderstand his loyalty? "
also dissuaded Dong Zhuo, and said loudly: "Master Lu Zhi is a famous scholar in the entire country, his name is renowned throughout the world, and is respected by everyone. If Lord Sikong were to kill him first, not only would it damage Lord Sikong's reputation, it would also incite the anger of the scholars, causing the entire country to sink into terror. This will not benefit Lord Sikong in the slightest, does Lord Sikong want to see a great chaos in the world? "
Of course, Dong Zhuo was very clear about the consequences of killing Lu Zhi. If it were anyone else, he would have already ordered it to be pushed out to kill. Seeing that the officials were trying to dissuade him, he hurriedly said, "Forget it, let's dismiss him and head back to the village."
Lu Zhi was escorted out of the capital. Lu Zhi who had been removed from his position in the Upper Valley County, left the stage of history and died of old age in the countryside. Compared to those ministers that did not want to be left alone, Lu Zhi finally had a peaceful ending.
After Lu Zhi was escorted out of the Gardner Hall, all the ministers present finally gave up on defending. Zhou Xu and Commander of the City Gate Wu Qiong were the first to write their names at the Discarded Son of Heaven's discussion. Gradually, the other officials also walked forward, regardless of whether they were willing or not, they had no choice but to sign their names at the Discarded Son of Heaven.
Dong Zhuo laughed coldly, and then sent people to send the cripple, the Son of Heaven, to the Yuan Mansion to invite the Master Tutor to have a look. Perhaps no one had expected that Tutor Yuan Zhong would actually not even look at him. With a wave of his big pen, the proposal to cripple the Son of Heaven had miraculously and smoothly passed.
Receiving Yuan Xuan's signature as the ruined Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo's face revealed a satisfied smile. This bunch of damnable scholars had finally surrendered under his martial power. Even the head of the scholars, Yuan Zhong, was so obedient. It seemed like his road to control the imperial court was going smoothly.
"It's time to see our Empress Dowager." At this moment. Dong Zhuo did not put anyone in his eyes anymore, and when he thought that he was about to see the empress dowager, he couldn't help but have some teasing thoughts. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other and laughed, then immediately brought the idea of becoming the son of the heavens to the Changqiu Palace to meet him.
The Empress Dowager He had already known about the officials' discussions about the useless Son of Heaven, and upon seeing Dong Zhuo coming in, she couldn't help but cry. She really could not understand, now that Great General was dead, and the eunuchs in the palace were dead, why were the Master Tutor and the ministers not satisfied? Why depose the Son of Heaven and force himself to rule?
"The Son of Heaven is the descendant of the first emperor, he is the heir to the throne appointed by the first emperor. Why would he be guilty of such a crime in the three months after he succeeded to the throne?" Her tears fell like rain as she cried out loudly, "Why did you betray first emperor? Are you all worthy of the first emperor's spirit in heaven? "
"The first emperor has been in power for twenty-one years, and this big man is almost in a desperate situation, how can he face this big man's ancestors!" When he mentioned Hanling Emperor, Dong Zhuo's stomach burned with anger. He straightened his face and said with a cold smile: "This subject is loyal to the Darky Court. Young Emperor had succeeded him for more than three months and the Luoyang was in chaos. If this subject does not have the strength to turn the tide, the Darky Court will be gone, the 400 years of foundation that I, the big man, have built up will be turned into dust in a blink of an eye. "This subject pleads with Her Majesty to immediately issue an edict to depose the Son of Heaven and to return to court."
The Empress Dowager He cried in anguish as he covered his face. It was only at this moment that she truly felt regret. If not for her repeatedly blocking Grand General Ho Jin and getting rid of the eunuchs, would she have ended up like this? But it was too late. Other than crying, what else could she do?
"This subject pleads with Her Majesty to deliver the imperial edict as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo's expression turned fierce as he started shouting. He slowly walked forward and took out an imperial decree from his bosom. "This subject pleads for the empress dowager to seal this imperial decree so that the affairs of the nation will not be missed."
The morning assembly on the second day, the inner and outer palace was filled with West Cold Cavalry, with hundreds of Gardner Hall officials gathering. The Empress Dowager, Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu were terrified and trembling. The sickly Tutor Yuan Wu was also invited. However, he was expressionless, as calm as water. The officials were exhausted, but only Sikong Dong Zhuo was happy and excited.
Sikong Dong Zhuo walked forward and loudly read out the words of the crippled Son of Heaven: "Young Emperor is naturally frivolous, does not have the majesty and authority that an emperor should have. During the period of mourning, he was slow and lazy, and his morals have already spread far and wide. Her Majesty had taught her indiscriminately, without the virtue of motherhood, and had thrown the world into disarray. Her Majesty Yongle's collapse is still puzzling. The heavens and earth had set up a three-layered dao, and now there were flaws. This was a great sin … The young emperor is the King Hong Nong, the empress dowager is still in power, and King Chen Liu Liu Xie is established as the emperor. "
