Chapter 15 Prosperous Luoyang
It was the first time that Dong Zhuo controlled such a large number of troops, and he was very cool.
He returned to his mansion and summoned his counselor Li Ru.
With the arrival of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo was ready to tell the person he trusted the most about his thoughts.
Since entering the palace today, I have seen the so-called emperor. The more I look at him, the more I dislike him. He is so cowardly, how can he act? I feel completely inferior to the nine-year-old Chenliu King Liu Xieqiang.
Just because he wants me, Dong Zhuo, to do things for the emperor, Dong Zhuo gets angrier the more he thinks about it.
"Wen You, you said that I have so many troops in my hands now. I am the one with the largest number of troops in Luoyang. Everyone else is a piece of cake. But for me, the more I look at today's Liu Dong, the more I look at him.
It's pleasing to the eye. I think Chen Liu Wang and Liu Xie are okay. Do you think we can depose Liu Bian, the current emperor, and re-establish Chen Liu Wang Liu Xie as emperor? I remember that the late emperor also had such a wish before?" Dong Zhuo directly thought to himself.
What needs to be done is stated.
As for whether such words would be spread outside? It would cause opposition from others, Dong Zhuo didn't care at all.
The person in front of him was someone he could absolutely trust, not to mention relying on him to make suggestions. Of course, if Li Ru said no, Dong Zhuo would also think of a way to avoid seeing the current situation as much as possible.
Emperor.
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and felt a little surprised.
My lord actually thinks the same as me. Although there is already a huge army, the officials and aristocratic families in Luoyang City completely look down on these people from Xiliang.
Even if they are so arrogant and domineering, they cannot establish enough authority. In this case, they will directly attack the person with the most authority.
This is the current emperor Liu Bian. As long as this person's authority is played in the palm of his hand, he will definitely gain more powerful authority than the current emperor.
Only in this way can we start the next step of the plan, but I didn’t expect that the lord would have such an awareness and think of such a good method.
The current imperial palace has just experienced civil strife and is already in turmoil. The previous emperor has just passed away and the new emperor does not have enough authority. It is easy to change the emperor.
During this process, we can also confirm who can be used and who cannot be used, and we can also establish enough authority so that these people can have more respect for the people of Xiliang.
Sure enough, God has blessed me, and this plan will come true.
"There is no idea in the court now, so we should act now. If the time delay is too long, there may be other variables. Take this opportunity to make a decisive decision." Li Ru's words revealed ruthlessness, "
We can directly summon all the officials in the Wenming Garden in the coming days. After all the officials arrive, we will discuss the matter of abolishing the establishment. Those who disagree will be cut down directly. By then, the authority we want to establish will be achieved."
Dong Zhuo was extremely satisfied after hearing this plan. It was very in line with the mentality of Xiliang people. Why use your brain? If you can do it, don't talk.
After looking at the time outside, which was still early, he immediately ordered people to write invitations, and ordered the soldiers of the Xiliang Cavalry to send invitations door to door according to the addresses of the officials, ensuring that no one was left behind, and at the same time, using force to ensure that every official would be
Arrival.
The next morning, a banquet had already been arranged in Wenmingyuan. As for many officials and marquises, they all came here under Dong Zhuo's use of force, and no one was left behind.
Dong Zhuo rode his horse slowly to the gate of Wenming Garden and looked at everyone in the garden.
Seeing that every official had arrived, Dong Zhuo was very satisfied. It seemed that these Luoyang officials chose to sacrifice their lives and face to come to this banquet.
Immediately got off the horse, took the sword on his waist, walked out of the dragon and the tiger's gaze, walked through the middle of the banquet, came to the main seat, and sat down slowly.
"I'm very satisfied that you all can come here. I'm late today, so I'll punish myself with three drinks." Dong Zhuo looked at everyone present, picked up his glass and faced everyone.
The maid on the side quickly added more wine, and Dong Zhuo drank it directly. After three glasses of wine, he looked at the people present and said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal."
Some civil and military officials present who did not understand the situation saw Dong Zhuo behaving like this and thought that what happened a few days ago was an illusion and that the heroic man in front of them was the real Dong Zhuo.
My favorable impression of him increased a lot, and the musical instruments on the side also started playing as accompaniment. At the same time, a pair of dancers came in and started to perform dances.
Everyone present looked at everything familiar, as if everything had returned to the way it used to be when people were singing and dancing.
Even if there are still people who are confused in their hearts, the eyes looking at Dong Zhuo are also full of curiosity. This person is not ignorant of etiquette, why did he act like this in the end?
After an hour or two, everyone present had almost finished drinking, the food was enough, and even the dancers had changed several times. It felt like the time was almost enough.
Luoyang is really prosperous. I have been dancing this dance for several hours, and it is not a heavy one. These dancers are so beautiful. Then I realized that I still have something to do.
Dong Zhuo stood up quickly, stretched out his hand to interrupt everyone's entertainment, the beating of musical instruments stopped, and the dancers present stopped dancing and silently retreated.
"Everyone, I am going to talk about something very important next. I hope everyone will listen quietly and attentively." Dong Zhuo said this sharply.
Everyone present could hear the sternness in his words, which meant that the next words were no joke and must be listened to seriously, otherwise something might really happen.
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with the peaceful appearance of helping others. Sure enough, is this the benefit of power?
Sure enough, I should pursue something like this. Luoyang is such a good place.
"Everyone knows that the emperor is the lord of all the people in the world, and he must have the majesty of the emperor. Otherwise, how can he serve the ancestral temple and secure the world.
However, when I looked at the emperor today, he was so cowardly that he did not even have the courage to face me directly. What is the use of such an emperor?
But King Chenliu is different. He is smart and studious, and his words and deeds are imperial. I think it is a very good choice for King Chenliu to be the emperor today.
So today I am hosting a banquet with you all to discuss the matter of deposing the current emperor and making King Chenliu the emperor. What do your colleagues think?" Everyone present gave themselves face, and Dong Zhuo's words were full of enthusiasm.
What he said is the truth of the world, the weak will be inferior and the strong will be superior. King Chenliu is stronger than the current emperor, and it is King Chenliu who should be the emperor.
