Reborn Wei Yan

Chapter 248 Specializing in Government Affairs

() "What's the matter?" Dong Zhuo, who was happy, was taken aback when he heard Li Su's words, and then said indifferently!

"This subordinate is on the way to General Lu's barracks, and our Chitu horse was snatched by three masked men!" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Su took advantage of Dong Zhuo's good mood and quickly took the Chitu horse away. Tell me about the robbery of the horse!

"You——! Huh——, Wei Gong, I have already given this red rabbit horse to Lu Bu, and then you can go to Lu Bu to plead guilty!" Dong Zhuo heard that Li Su had thrown his beloved red rabbit horse away. He was immediately furious, but this Dong Zhuo was also a character, so he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Li Su!

"Yes, my lord!" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Su was overjoyed!

"My lord, Lu Bu, the general of Bingzhou, is now bound outside our camp, saying that he is pleading guilty to your lord!" While Dong Zhuo was discussing with Dong Min, Li Ru, Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and others, the Liangzhou soldier A guard was reporting to Dong Zhuo!

"Hahaha, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian are really here! Come on, let's meet him outside the camp!" Dong Zhuo didn't expect Lu Bu to come so soon, so he said happily to his confidants!

"The guilty general Lu Bu has met Master Dong!" Just as Dong Zhuo led his men to the gate of the camp, Lu Bu who had tied himself up hurriedly stepped forward and said to Dong Zhuo!

"Hahaha, what is the crime of Fengxian?! I still want to thank General Lu for trusting Dong! Hahaha, let's go, let's go to the camp to talk!" After Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu, he gave Lu Bu a message in person. Untied, and then took Lu Bu's hand and said!

After Lv Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he contributed the head of Ding Yuan to Dong Zhuo. At the same time, Dong Zhuo also took over the post of Jinwu, indirectly controlling the garrison of Luoyang City, plus his own more than 2 soldiers. State soldiers and horses and Lu Bu's more than 5000-meter Bingzhou wolf cavalry, Dong Zhuo's military strength is now arrogant to the entire Luoyang city!However, the soldiers and horses of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan, who were placed high hopes by the gentry party members, were even more terrified of the soldiers of Liangzhou and Bingzhou who had fought many battles!Soon Dong Zhuo took control of the entire Luoyang City!

Of course, not everyone has no opinion on the fact that Dong Zhuo’s family dominates Luoyang City. For example, Bao Xin, the cavalry captain who was entrusted by the general to recruit troops from his hometown, led the troops from his hometown Taishan County at this time. Come to Luoyang City!At the same time, knowing that the general He Jin had been killed, Bao Xin immediately took refuge in the lieutenant Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, and said to Yuan Shao, "Now that Dong Zhuo has a strong army in Luoyang City, his ambitions will expand in the future. If you don’t take advantage of Dong Zhuo’s fledgling and get rid of him now, it will be difficult to have a chance in the future!”

However, Yuan Shao had seen the battle between Liangzhou soldiers and Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and he was even more afraid of Dong Zhuo who had already annexed the Bingzhou cavalry, so he dared not agree to Bao Xin!As a result, Dong Zhuo also found out about this not long after, but he didn't dare to make an outrageous move in front of Bao Xin who came with a heavy army. Drive out of Luoyang City!Since then, the high officials and nobles in Luoyang City have no objection to Dong Zhuo!At the same time, Dong Zhuo's ambition is even bigger!

With a strong military backing, coupled with the fear of Dong Zhuo by the ministers of the DPRK and China, Dong Zhuo has nothing to fear and can do whatever he wants.First of all, Dong Zhuo forced the court to remove Sikong Liu Hong from his post and replace him himself.After Dong Zhuo became Sikong, it was not enough to think about it. He just remembered the figures who changed dynasties in history. Then, in order to test the reaction of the ministers in the court and to further monopolize the central yang regime, Dong Zhuo decided to call all civil and military officials to discuss the abolition of the young emperor. Establish a new emperor.

At a meeting, Dong Zhuo said unscrupulously: "The young emperor is ignorant and cowardly, unable to worship the ancestral temple, and is not qualified to be the monarch of the world. For the sake of the country and the Han Dynasty, I want to follow the story of Yi Yin's release of Taijia and Huo Guang's destruction of Changyi. Abolish the young emperor and make Chenliu king Liu Xie the emperor!"

However, most of the officials present were frightened by Dong Zhuo's coercion, and dared not speak out against his arbitrary and arbitrary behavior.Only Shangshu Lu Zhi objected in person, thinking that the young emperor was just young, and his behavior and character could not be compared with Taijia and Changyi kings at all.Dong Zhuo was furious. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was so disrespectful and dared to oppose him in public, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to push him out and behead him. Fortunately, the other ministers in the court tried their best to dissuade Lu Zhi from death.

Through Dong Zhuo's replacement and handling of the highest-level personnel of the central yang regime, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty government was almost completely controlled by Dong Zhuo. The abolition of the current emperor, the appointment and removal of courtiers, and the formulation of major policies were all decided by Dong Zhuo.At this time, Dong Zhuo, whose ambition was extremely inflated, was already defiant.

However, after changing to Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo promoted himself to Taiwei and became one of the three princes, in charge of affairs of the whole country and former generals.Although Dong Zhuo is known as the prime minister of the country who is "under one man and above ten thousand people", he actually far surpasses the emperor and enjoys the privileges of "praising without being famous, entering the court without tending, and walking on the palace with swords".

The so-called one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.After he became an official and became a noble, Dong Zhuo also used his privileges to arbitrarily confer titles on members of the Dong family.He first named his mother Chi Yangjun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, whose status was equivalent to that of a royal princess.At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as General Zuo, named Yuhou, and also named his young granddaughter Weiyangjun.Of course, it's also a big deal that I just recognized my adopted son Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, and named him Marquis Wen!

When Dong Zhuo first arrived in Luoyang, although Dong Zhuo had assembled a group of confidantes, it was far from enough to rely on these people alone to maneuver in the huge central bureaucratic system.Moreover, many bureaucrats with certain power and influence in the court at that time did not accept Dong Zhuo at all.In this regard, Dong Zhuo, in the process of playing power, secretly cultivated minions, widely recruited cronies, and used methods such as wooing, seducing, and crowding out to attack and frame all unfavorable forces and groups.After wantonly conferring the title of marquis, Dong Zhuo tried his best to win over Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao.The three formed cliques in the DPRK and worked together to promote and support Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who had been demoted.Dong Zhuo not only restored all the former titles of Chen Fan and others, but also promoted their descendants so that they could be used by him from generation to generation.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also listened to his son-in-law Li Ru's strategy and used his privileges to re-promote and appoint a large number of party members, such as Minister Zhou Bi, Minister Wu Qiong, Minister Zheng Gongye, Chang Shi He Ying, Sikong Wu and so on.Not only that, as long as they were members of the party who were related to the above personnel, Dong Zhuo would promote them as ministers. For a while, "people who are stagnant and stagnant are more prominent."Of course, this is not Dong Zhuo's kindness, but to win over these gentry party members!If it wasn't for the current Cai Yong being taken out of Luoyang by his son-in-law Wei Yan, the current Cai Yong might have become the big celebrity in front of Dong Zhuo just like in history!

In addition to arranging his own forces in various ministries of central yang, Dong Zhuo also installed local minions by appointing eunuchs and governors.In this way, Dong Zhuo has basically controlled the main political forces in central and yang and localities by placing his eyes and ears at various levels. As long as officials who are dissatisfied with him make a slight move, he will completely eradicate them without mercy, killing chickens and monkeys, and deterring the government and the public. .

When Dong Zhuo wanted to appoint cronies, Dong Zhuo still observed that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others who held real power were not good for him and had to be removed as soon as possible.

In fact, long before Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, Dong Zhuo wanted to use Yuan Shao to support him, but Yuan Shao strongly opposed it.Once, after Dong Zhuo asked Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao said: "The virtues of the Eastern and Western Han dynasties spread all over the world, supported by all people, and the country supported the people. Although the emperor is young, he has not spread evil deeds to the world. If you want to depose the emperor, establish a new emperor. , I'm afraid no one agrees with you."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his viciousness was revealed, and he scolded Yuan Shao angrily with his sword, "I value you on purpose, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. If I don't kill you today, I will always be a disaster in the future!"

Yuan Shao also put his hand on the hilt of his sword and confronted him tit for tat. Dong Zhuo did not dare to act rashly.But that night, Yuan Shao fled to Bohai County for refuge.At the same time, it was also because Yuan Shao belonged to an aristocratic family, and because Yuan Shao had already escaped, Dong Zhuo did not continue to pursue the matter.

Moreover, when Dong Zhuo's army entered Luoyang, Cao Cao was also in the capital. At this time, Cao Cao saw through Dong Zhuo's conspiracy and refused to cooperate with him. Later, after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he left without saying goodbye and fled Luoyang.

There is also Weiwei Zhang Wen who once served as Taiwei, and has always been extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's domineering, brutal and cruel behavior.Dong Zhuo also regarded Zhang Wen as a thorn in his side. In order to get rid of this serious trouble, Dong Zhuo spread rumors in the court, slandering Zhang Wen and Yuan Shu's long-term collusion against the court.Soon, Zhang Wen was flogged and killed on the charge of "unnecessary".However, Yuan Shu also escaped from Luoyang City in a hurry!

Under Dong Zhuo's coercion and conspiracy, his competitors and many loyal ministers in the court were either forced to flee or wiped out.Driven by greed, Dong Zhuo's ambitions have swelled several times. In order to satisfy and achieve his own ambitions, he willfully played power and tactics and killed innocent people indiscriminately, which aroused strong indignation and opposition from officials and people.

"So, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​fled to Bohai County, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde fled back to his hometown Chenliu County, and this Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu are also missing?!" After Wei Yan heard the report from Chen Dao and Wang Ling, the nearest Luoyang City After the accident happened, that is to say!
