Chapter 50, Dong Zhongying refers to a deer as a horse

(Sigh, I have to attend training classes for two days on the weekend. I didn’t expect it, so I only have this chapter today, and I’m so sorry for doing it so late~)

The day after the banquet hosted by Wang Yun, the new Situ of the Han Dynasty, it was clear in the early tenth month of the first year of the Yonghan year in the Han Dynasty, and there was a great court meeting in the Jiade Hall of the Imperial Palace.

This was the first major court meeting after the new emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne. It was also the first time Liu Xie appeared in front of many civil and military ministers since the coronation ceremony. Especially after the previous Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Bian died unexpectedly, it naturally seemed of great significance.

The little emperor Liu Xie is only nine years old this year. The dragon robes he wears are all custom-made. They not only fit well but are brand new. The real dragon pictures on the robes are even more lifelike, majestic and solemn.

Liu Xie was smart and smart since he was a child, which won the favor of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and even made him want to establish a common people as a child. But in the end, he was still a child. He had never seen such a big scene as a court meeting, and he was frightened at that time.

.

Even though he had only personally participated in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement a few days ago, he actually took him with him when Liu Bian ascended the throne. It was considered an "experience", so that time he

His performance was barely adequate; however, in such a solemn and solemn place above the court, even Liu Hong, who doted on him the most, could not bring him casually, so this was really the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. Speaking of which, a child could

It is normal to have such a reaction.

The person supporting him was Zhang Rong, the personal chamberlain of Xiaohuangmen. After the Shichangshi Rebellion, both Qingliu and his relatives had been very wary of the palace chamberlains, which also made them act more cautiously or rely on each other, and Liu

Xie, a personal servant, has been following Liu Xie. He was an old slave who stayed with Empress Dowager Dong to take care of him. It is rare for him to be alone. Dong Zhuo didn't care too much about this. After all, he placed Liu Xie beside him.

There are definitely a lot of people.

The old slave carefully comforted him in his ear, trying to soothe the young man's fragile heart, but at the same time, he could not let the courtiers see the weakness of the little emperor.

In fact, Liu Xie is not weak. On the contrary, his intelligence and wisdom are more easily stimulated at such times, so the next moment he seemed to suddenly get used to it and began to learn to face it. Under the low-pitched explanation of the chamberlain,

, coupled with the fact that there are many voices in my ears these days giving advice, I naturally know what to do next, but no one knows what is going on in the young man’s little mind. At that moment, when he saw the tall figure in front of the dragon chair, his eyes flashed.

What is Guangguang thinking in his heart?

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, while Dong Zhuo, who was granted the title of Prime Minister, stood a few steps in front of him with a solemn look and a military uniform.

Regarding Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo's feeling was very simple. He needed a puppet, but even a puppet needed someone he could like. When he first met Liu Xie in the suburbs of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was attracted by this precocious and wise man.

Smart young people like it very much.

In contrast, Liu Bian was very dissatisfied with the performance of Liu Bian, who was frightened when he saw Dong Zhuo. This may sound a bit strange. After all, the more weak and bullyable he is, the easier it is to control him. But on the other hand, he should be more controllable.

, and as Li Ru considered, Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang in the name of former general He Jin and the current Queen Mother He, and gained control of the imperial guards in the imperial city after He Jin's death. This is tantamount to

She has left a hidden danger. Although she is not afraid of Queen Mother He, she has to guard against others using her name to act. There will always be some trouble, so the best way is to eliminate future troubles, and to eliminate future troubles is naturally to let her go.

He no longer occupies the position of great justice, but stands on great justice himself.

The so-called righteousness refers to the deterrence of imperial power and the place of emperor. Therefore, Dong Zhuo wanted to control the emperor and blackmail the emperor into disobeying him, but at the same time he did not allow the emperor to have a chance to resist. In his opinion, Liu Xie, who now had no backing, was far more powerful than Liu Xie.

The argument is appropriate.

No matter how smart you are, no matter how smart you are, you are just a child. When you grow up, you are just a person. Even if you want to resist, what can you do to resist?

Of course, when Liu Xie comes to power, it is also possible that new relatives will be cultivated in the foreseeable future, and Dong Zhuo's arbitrary actions of abolishing the establishment will also be used as an excuse to attack by the princes of the world. However, Dong Zhuo, who is high-spirited at this time, is naturally fearless

.

At this time, he was standing in the main hall, looking down at the ministers, his posture was arrogant and scornful, and he had every reason and qualification to do so.

Looking at the world today, among the princes in Yunei, who can compete with him?

The fourth generation and third prince, the Yuan family? It's just a pile of ruins. Even if the body belonging to Yuan Shao inside is fake as Li Ru and Lu Bu guessed, the real Yuan Shao has escaped. With his current situation like a bereaved dog, and

What can be done?

Are there the other two Sangong? Huang Wan, like Yang Biao, is actually a loyal veteran. However, in Dong Zhuo's view, they are just two unarmed old men. What should he fear?

As for the new Situ Wang Yun... Thinking of the meeting and conversation with Wang Yun that day, Dong Zhuo chuckled in his heart.

At this moment, he was standing high above the court, but his eyes and thoughts seemed to have drifted further away. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this moment, and Lu Bu, who was not even qualified to enter the court, just

Unexpectedly, he could only wait outside.

Not just waiting for now, but also waiting for the near future.

At the end of October of the first year of Yonghan in the Han Dynasty, Taiwei Dong Zhuo was added as "Xiangguo" and called himself Taishi, with the intention of supervising the country and supervising the administration and being a disciple of the royal family. From then on, he entered the court without any intention of entering the court and went to the palace with swords and shoes. In fact, in the military and political affairs of the Han Dynasty,

Power, at least in Luoyang, has been monopolized by Dong Zhuo.

Just when the officials and families in Luoyang were preparing to launch a wave of resistance, another news suddenly came.

Dong Zhuo proposed to Princess Yiyang, the late emperor's sister and today's emperor's aunt, and Princess Yiyang agreed, and he would soon be married to the Qin and Jin Dynasties, which meant that Dong Zhuo would soon become the consort and uncle of today's son.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, but when this "stone" was thrown down, the city of Luoyang, which was originally surging with undercurrents, suddenly became much calmer. If you mistakenly think that this alone is enough to make these people stop causing trouble,

That was obviously an underestimation of these figures who stood on the edge or even at the top of the Han Dynasty's power pyramid, but it was true that they were shocked by the news, and because of this incident, Dong Zhuo's status undoubtedly became worse.

Although generally speaking, it is not suitable for a prince-in-law to gain more power, but there has been a precedent in the Han Dynasty. For example, Wei Qing, the prince-in-law of Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, became the official of Da Sima and became famous for his great military exploits. Dong Zhuo is now

In the name of Prince Consort, the fact that "Xiangguo" acts as regent is at least more reasonable than before.

Then, Dong Zhuo generously rewarded his deployment. First, his mother, Dong was named "Jun of Chiyang"; his son-in-law and schemer Li Ru was named Sikong by the Jin Dynasty, plus the new Situ Wang Yunhe who was still serving as Taiwei.

Dong Zhuo himself became the new San Gong, while Huang Wan, the former Sikong, became the imperial censor.

There is also the Xiliang Army, and the lieutenant generals of the Bingzhou Army should also be promoted. Lu Bu, the Cavalry Commander, was promoted to Zhonglang General, made the capital of Tinghou, and became the governor of Bingzhou. Zhang Liao was appointed as the Sima of the Bingzhou Army, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian,

Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cao Xing and Gao Shun were all captains, and the leader of Lu Bu's soldiers was vacant after Cheng Lian led the army independently, so he was replaced by the knight-errant Jizhao, who Lu Bu had a good impression of.

In the Xiliang army, Hua Xiong and Hu Ben Zhonglang, a general, were transferred to the imperial guards and became the commander of the guards. He was also the nominal leader of Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers.

Li Su was promoted to Cavalry Captain, qualified to command the army alone; Xu Rong, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were also promoted.

Even Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were far away in other places also had their own rewards. Dong Zhuo even more brazenly created a title of the Five Great Zhonglang Generals. Lu Bu, the first general in his account, was named Zuo Zhonglang General, and was the first of the five great Zhonglang Generals.

, Li Jue, Guo Si were the right Zhonglang generals, the South Zhonglang generals, Hua Xiong was the North Zhonglang generals, Niu Fu was already the Zhonglang generals, and this time he even took the post of governor of Xiliang on a false holiday.

There are also Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Yang Ding, Duan Xuan and others who have all been promoted.

In this way, it can be said that one person has attained enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
