Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 204 Dong Zhuo became a blockbuster, Liu Xie ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor
On the [-]th, it was very cold, cloudy and windless.

Pillars of smoke rose one after another, and did not disperse for a long time. It was not the morning cooking in Luoyang City, but the burning embers of the neighbors.

Ding Yuan looked distressed, his gray beard was dyed a lot of smoky color, his face was also smeared with ashes, and he sat on a feldspar.

This is a mansion that is still under construction. There are many feldspars like this. Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others all sat and rested.

There were more than a thousand Bingzhou soldiers and horses who broke out together, and those who were still in the city guard battalion were probably all killed in battle.

In one night, Ding Yuan's army had repelled five or six enemy attacks. If it weren't for the bravery of Lu Bu Zhang Yang and other generals, the entire army might have been wiped out long ago.

But the strange thing is that after dawn, the enemy stopped attacking.

It just happened to make everyone breathe.

Ding Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he never thought that he would end up in this situation. He is a majestic man holding Jinwu, and he is led by the imperial guards of the capital. In Luoyang City, someone would actually attack him.

"Fengxian, I am the big man Zhi Jinwu, who do you think would be so bold as to murder me!" Ding Yuan asked.

"Father-in-law, the soldiers and horses attacking us were He Jin's old troops, and they were naturally ordered by Yuan Shi," Lu Bu said.

"Old man, how dare you really..."

"Father, the current plan is to clarify what the next step should be. Since Yuan Kai harmed me, why not vote for Dong Gong." Lu Bu said.

Vote for Dong Zhuo?
Ding Yuan refused in his heart, which means that he has been subordinated to others since then, and he has come to this step with great difficulty.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is a human being, he doesn't like it very much, and Dong Zhuo's encounter, he is very jealous.

Obviously he is also from a grassroots background, so why can he take advantage of him all the time?
Just because he was an old official of the Yuan family?In the Battle of the Yellow Turban, he almost wiped out the entire Han army, and he was still safe and sound. He could even fight again, and with a little merit, he could be named a marquis and a general.

"Could it be that I, Ding Yuan, fought against the Xianbei and the Southern Huns, and shed blood and sweat for the big man, will my achievements be less than Dong Zhuo's?" Ding Yuan cried out in his heart.

Even if the court really couldn't tolerate him, he would not choose to vote for Dong Zhuo!
"Fengxian, why do you think Yuan Kai attacked me?" Ding Yuan asked.

"The two emperors are fighting, and the adoptive father is in the middle. It is inevitable that they will be tolerated by both sides!" Lu Bu said.

At this time, Zhang Yang interjected: "General, Yuan Kui gathered most of the general's troops. He must have planned to attack the city guard first, because he was afraid that the general would join forces with Dong Zhuo."

"Uncle Zhi's words are very true. Yifu, our army is in a situation of life and death. If you still hesitate, you may have no chance to choose again." Lu Bu persuaded.

Earlier he had advised Ding Yuan to join Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo would definitely take it seriously, but now that the remnant soldiers are defeated, they will definitely be despised.

Ding Yuan was silent for a while, then said: "What will happen if you join Yuan Kai?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Just now he was beaten into a mess, now he chooses to work?

Lu Bu was puzzled, why didn't the adoptive father vote for Dong Zhuo?He has always been an official of Bingzhou, and now he is a shepherd of Bingzhou, in charge of the military administration of a state. No matter how famous Yuan Kai is, his real power is incomparable.

Zhang Yang also didn't understand, Yuan Kai's sneak attack on the Chengwei camp caused them heavy losses, they should be the deadly enemy, how could it be effective?

Seeing that the two were silent, Ding Yuan continued, "Our army is at the end of its strength, why didn't Yuan Kai take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Several people were speechless.

"If my guess is right, he intends to recruit. Last night's battle was Yuan Wei's beating for me not standing in line. I think Yuan Wei should be waiting for me at this moment."

Lu Bu and Zhang Yang looked at Ding Yuan in surprise, and wanted to refute, but they couldn't refute. They also wondered, why didn't Yuan Wei stop fighting?
Is it really as Ding Yuan said, waiting for Ding Yuan to take effect?

"Father, Yuan Kai fought with me just now and killed many soldiers of our army, and most of us are children of Bingzhou. How can he tolerate me? Why not choose Dong Zhuo, he is the shepherd of Bingzhou, and he is also a member of the army. Have……"

"Okay!" Ding Yuan interrupted Lu Bu, "Dong Zhuo's army is from Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo is from Liangzhou. What does he have to do with Bingzhou!"

"Can……"

"I've made up my mind, stop talking!"

Lu Bu wanted to say more, but he caught Zhang Yang's eyes, so he just suppressed it, curled his lips, gritted his teeth, and stopped talking.

……

The lobby of the Yuan Mansion was silent, and Yuan Kai in the chief seat had a solemn expression, his chest and abdomen heaving violently, obviously depressed and unable to vomit quickly.

When Fang woke up this morning, he heard the news that Nanhongde Gate had fallen. Yuan Kai couldn't believe it for a while.

Didn't Dong Zhuo attack Ximen?Isn't he smacking around?
Moreover, the battle at the west gate was extremely fierce last night. If it wasn't for the help of the defenders from other gates, they might have really lost their defense. In the end, they managed to hold it with great difficulty, and the enemy army was wounded and retreated.

Why did the south gate fall again?And it wasn't until the defense was changed in the morning that there was no news.

What made him even more angry was that Ding Yuan was still alive, attacking with several times more soldiers, in this Luoyang City, it was almost like catching a turtle in a urn, but Ding Yuan actually blocked it.

The combination of the two things can be described as a complete failure!
However, thinking that Luoyang's predicament was not over yet, Yuan Kui suppressed the fire and the soldiers fought hard, which was not their problem.

If he is really held accountable, it will be him, Yuan Wei, who has the biggest problem.

"My lord, it's almost time for the morning court." The official came closer to remind him.

Yuan Kai nodded, stood up and said: "Generals, you worked hard last night. Although the South Gate is lost, Dong Zhuo dare not act rashly with the soldiers and horses in my city. I have sent a letter ordering Chenliu, Puyang, Shanyang and other counties Soldiers and horses, enter Jingqin King!"

All the generals nodded one after another, and did not speak much.

The air in Luoyang is very bad today, and the smog spreads, covering the city.

When all the officials went to the court, many people covered their mouths and noses and coughed. When they were taking off their shoes outside the hall, Yuan Kai saw Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Kui waved his sleeves and groaned, his face not looking good.

Dong Zhuo greeted his acquaintances, and many officials were photographed in Dong Zhuo's military might, showing fawning looks.

Seeing you, Yang Biao hurriedly said: "General Dong, it's snowing heavily today, and seeing you coming is like a spring breeze, but is there a big happy event?"

In fact, Yang Biao already knew about what happened last night, but he still pretended to be deaf and dumb and asked.

"There is no happy event, but I know some unlucky things. I heard that Zhijin Wuding originally intended to rebel, and Yuan Taifu ordered people to suppress it. It's just a pity that he destroyed a large number of neighborhood houses, but he has not been captured yet. But we want to use Yuan's financial resources , it’s still affordable for a mere residential building.”

Dong Zhuo repeated Jia Xujiao's remarks with some awkwardness.

Yuan Kui listened with sharp ears and suddenly felt strange. Why did Dong Zhuo say that Ding Yuan conspired against him?
Shouldn't he accuse himself of framing a loyal minister?

Yuan Kai said that he couldn't understand Dong Zhuo more and more, he was not like this before.

The early dynasty started as scheduled, and as usual, Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong sat next to the throne, and in front of them were Liu Bian and Liu Xie respectively.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Dong Zhuo was the first to play.

"Empress Qi, Empress Dowager, the country has no monarch, and chaos occurs frequently. Last night, Ding Yuan, the ruler of Jinwu, suddenly caused chaos in the city. He fought with the troops led by the Taifu all night, causing a large number of houses in Luoyang City to be destroyed. Ding Yuan even sent troops. Attacking Hongdemen, we wanted to cooperate with foreign troops inside and outside, but fortunately, I discovered it in time and took control of Hongdemen."

Dong Zhuo's words startled both of them.

Zhi Jinwu wants to conspire with others inside and outside?

The Taifu led the army to calm the chaos?
Could it be any more crazy?
"Is what Dong Zhoumu said really true?" Surprisingly, the young Liu Xie asked.

"Chen An dares to lie. I am afraid that Ding Yuan still has his party. In order to protect the imperial city, I have sent two battalions of soldiers and horses to protect the imperial city. The army outside the city is on standby at any time. If there is any change in the city, we can ensure the safety of the imperial city." The rush to help for a while, but the soldiers and horses of the former general He Jin are still stranded in the inner city, I ask the Queen Mother and Queen to issue an order to order the idle troops to withdraw from Luoyang, as long as there are ministers around, Luoyang can be kept safe!"

Liu Xie looked back at Empress Dowager Dong, as if saying: Grandma, I don't know how to do this question.

Empress Dowager Dong took the words and said: "What General Dong said made Ai's family quite worried, why not just follow what General Dong said, what do Sikong and Taiwei think?"

Well you despicable Dong Zhuo!Yuan Kui cursed in his heart, the villain sued first, no wonder he wanted Hei Dingyuan, because he wanted to leave all the problems on himself and Ding Yuan.

Hongdemen was obviously attacked by Dong Zhuo, but he even said that it was Ding Yuan who did it, and that I led the army to quell the chaos. It seemed to be a compliment, but in fact it was praised and killed. The phrase "Taifu led the army to quell the chaos" sounded like a All feel harsh.

The Taifu has no military power, no emperor's order, let alone mobilize troops.

He also took the opportunity to order the original He Jin's troops to withdraw from Luoyang. In this way, wouldn't Luoyang be the only one who has the final say?

"Dong Zhoumu, don't worry too much. The general's subordinates are all loyal to the big man. You also said that if it wasn't for them last night, wouldn't it have allowed Ding Yuan to succeed?" Empress He said.

Yuan Kai closed his eyes, and was speechless for a while, a woman's opinion!Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!
"Queen, don't forget that Zhijin Wuding was originally a foreign official. It was recommended by He Jin that he entered Luoyang as an official. According to the situation last night, there must be foreign aid outside the city. How can he enter the old department and stay in the city? peaceful?"

"You! My brother shed blood and sweat for the big man, how can you spout blood!" Empress He said urgently.

"Ding Yuan was recommended by He Jin, and everyone in the court knows that Ding Yuan's rebellion last night was also suppressed by Yuan Taifu himself. Maybe that Ding Yuan was in Yuan Taifu's hands, and the stolen goods were taken together. The evidence is convincing!" Dong Zhuo agitated , sound like a bell, full of energy.

Only then did Yuan Kai realize that Dong Zhuo insisted on the reason for Ding Yuan's rebellion!

It turned out that it was not for him, but to implicate He Jin, and then implicate the old department, and implicate Queen He.

And Dong Zhuo claimed that Yuan Wei's pacification of the chaos was not to disgust him and satirize him for getting involved in military power, but to make Ding Yuan's rebellion impossible.

If Yuan Kai denied it flatly, then what was he complaining about last night?
Ping Zhongchen?
Then Yuan Kai became a rebel.

Only then did Yuan Kai realize that he had fallen into a deadlock, a deadlock carefully arranged by Dong Zhuo.

He had to support his rhetoric, and even had to support his suggestion, although Ding Yuan was not in his hands.

Today, Luoyang City does not have an advantage in military strength, and neither does the speech of the court!

Yuan Kui didn't understand, how could this be?How could this be so?How could this be so!

Is this still Dong Zhuo?

From the moment he directly killed the Shichang Attendant, it seemed that the entire situation in Luoyang was under his control, and Yuan Wei couldn't help but feel a shudder on his back. At this point, Yuan Kai knew in his heart what Dong Zhuo was going to do next.

Seeing that there was no objection from anyone at court, Dong Zhuoci smiled kindly and happily.

Even Yuan Kai was silent, and all the officials could only keep silent.

"The chaos and chaos are all ruled by the country without a monarch. The prince Xie is smart and capable, and has the air of a king. I propose that the prince Xie take over the throne and rule the court!"

Dong Zhuo's voice exploded like a huge thunder above the court hall, all the officials lowered their heads one after another, and the timid officials even took two steps back unconsciously.

"Dong Zhoumu, as ministers, we should be clear about the rules and regulations, abide by our duties, abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, it violates the etiquette and laws of the ancestral temple, and it must not be done!"

Dong Zhuo turned around and saw an old man, but he didn't know him, only saw that he was a Taichang official, Taichang Yu.

"We set up virtuous men for the great Han. The previous emperors have spirits in the sky, and they will definitely agree with us. Whoever has two hearts is guilty of treason, right and wrong!" Dong Zhuo shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the guards outside the hall rushed into two rows, watching the officials in the hall.

Yuan Kui was surprised again: When will the forbidden army in the palace... Before he finished speaking, Tai Chang Yu retorted again.

"Abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones will lead to disaster, please think twice, the empress dowager!"

"Noisy! Left and right! Take down this person who talks about government affairs!"

Two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Taichang Yu away. The surrounding officials bowed their heads silently, not daring to speak.

"Dong Zhuo! Abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones is like a usurper. Do you want to be a minister of the usurper!"

It's just that his voice became smaller and smaller, and Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to it anymore. There were soldiers in the hall, and no one dared to speak up.

Dong Zhuo bowed his hand again: "Queen Mother, there is a reason for what happened. Dong Zhuo violated etiquette. Please forgive me. Now all the officials have recognized it. I invite the prince to assist you to ascend the throne!"

The Empress Dowager smiled unconsciously in the direction of Empress He, causing wrinkles to appear on her loose skin.

"General Dong made a decisive decision and took the overall situation into consideration. It is really a great man's fortune. Since all officials agree that Liu Xie is the emperor, then today is the ceremony of enthronement, Lu Zhi!" Empress Dowager Dong shouted.

This matter should be presided over by Shang Shu.

Lu Zhi walked a few steps, looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Zhi Shi received Han's grace, studied the classics of the sages hard, abolished the elders and established the young, this is the way to create chaos, Zhi is deeply ashamed of the ancestral temple, ashamed of the sages, so he resigns!"

After speaking, Lu Zhi shook his sleeves and left.

"Bold! Left and right!" Dong Zhuo ordered someone to take it down.

Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly said: "Everyone has his own aspirations. Lu Shangshu has abandoned his official position. Ding Gong, you are now a Shangshu!"

Yuan Kui and Empress He looked gloomy, watching Ding Gong step forward to crown Liu Xie with a robe, and finally took the jade seal and ribbon to complete his enthronement.

All the officials saluted, and Liu Xie sat on the throne with a small body, looking at the court in a dull manner.

The queen mother smiled and said: "General Dong has made great contributions. He really deserves to be a loyal minister of the Dong family. He was conferred the title of Hussar General and took charge of the military affairs of the capital! The emperor's brother Liu Bian, named Hongnong King, is going to move to Hongnong from now on, Mrs. Fu, I hope you will take more trouble to teach His Majesty in the future."

Yuan Kai bit the bullet and replied: "Here!"

But the heart is disgusting like eating shit, the battle between the two emperors, this is a complete failure!
Who would have thought that the reckless Dong Zhuo had such deep scheming!

Seeing that the deal is done, Dong Zhuo is also very emotional, what happened today is really like a dream, he never thought that Jia Xu's plan was used to make it go so smoothly.

Dong Zhuo felt an indescribable joy in beating Yuan Kai, who had taught him in the past, to the point of being speechless!

……

After the court was over, Empress He returned to the palace. She was so angry that she threw down many utensils and drove out all the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Debate lost?If she has to move to Hongnong, then she... She should be regarded as the empress dowager now, will the empress dowager let her go?

Anyway, if Liu Bian ascends the throne, she will definitely not let Queen Mother Dong go!
"Queen, Ms. Wen first asks to see you!"

Li Ru!Empress He seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "Please come in, sir!"

Li Ru lowered his head, looking hurried, plunged into the palace, met the queen, the queen did not wait for Li Ru to salute, and said: "Wen is the first student, what should I do!"

Before Li Ru came, he had already heard that Liu Xie had ascended the throne, and that Liu Bian had been named King Hongnong, and he probably understood what happened last night.

Dong Zhuo behaved abnormally, and Li Ru guessed that Dong Zhuo should have expert guidance behind him.

Li Ru stroked his beard and said calmly: "Don't worry, Queen, King Hongnong is only at a disadvantage temporarily, and there is still room for maneuver!"

"Sir, are you serious?"

"Naturally serious!" Li Ru laughed.

"Student Wen, please sit down! Please teach me!"
