Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo dumbfounded and said: "General, you want to make enemies of the world's nobles and nobles. This is something that even His Majesty cannot do! If you really do this, you will only lose your life in vain. It is impossible for us to fight with you."

The whole world is our enemy!”

Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "You haven't understood that the world has changed. Thunder Lord's Tengjia Army has become a country of its own. Other states and counties in the Han Dynasty are also in constant war. There are several prefects in various places who are listening to the imperial court's orders. Now

The time has come when only those with soldiers have power. If the princes of Luoyang City want to keep their power, they must rely on me, Dong Zhuo! Instead of me relying on them!"

Then Dong Zhuo rode up and confidently said: "Order Yang Ding to command the troops here. After the army crosses the Yellow River, they will march towards Luoyang City. We will rescue your majesty first!"

Then Dong Zhuo shouted: "My sons, I will take you to rescue your majesty!"

All 3,000 soldiers shouted: "Save Your Majesty!"

The army marched towards Luoyang City like a long dragon!

Luoyang City Palace!

Yuan Shu led everyone to continuously attack the palace, and even burned the Suzaku Gate. This made Zhang Jing and others realize that the wealthy nobles wanted to kill them all, and they even dared to attack the palace and do something like killing the nine tribes!

Zhang Rang and others went to the harem to report to the Queen Mother He, saying: "General He Jin's men conspired to rebel, set fire to the Zhuque Gate, and are now attacking the palace!"

Queen He was shocked and said: "Where is the general? You immediately order the general to stop his men!"

Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said: "The general participated in the rebellion and has been killed by the slaves and others. Please ask the queen mother to follow the slaves and others, and the slaves will protect the safety of your majesty and the queen mother!"

Queen Mother He couldn't believe it when she heard this: "You killed the general! How dare you kill the general!"

Zhang Rang knew that now was not the time to explain and said to his subordinates: "Why don't you hurry up and protect your majesty, the Queen Mother and King Chenliu!"

They coerced Empress Dowager He, Young Emperor Liu Bian, and King Chenliu Liu Xie, and hijacked other officials in the palace and fled to the Beigong via Tianqiao Pavilion Road.

At the same time, the Zhuque Gate collapsed in the fire.

After opening the gap, Yuan Shu said happily: "Kill the eunuchs now! Anyone without a beard is an eunuch. Let me kill them all!"

The soldiers of the Northern Army, led by Yuan Shu, rushed into the palace. The sound of killings was loud in the palace. When the soldiers saw anyone who looked like an eunuch, they would kill them with their swords. Soon, all the eunuchs, large and small, including more than 2,000 eunuchs, were killed. Zhao Zhong, Gao

Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and the eunuchs Yuan She were killed by Yuan Shu.

At the same time, Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei falsely conveyed the imperial edict, summoned Fan Ling, Prime Minister Xu, and other nobles who had defected to the eunuch party, and killed them all.

Wu Kuang and others had always resented He Miao for not being of the same mind as He Jin, and suspected that he had colluded with the eunuchs, so they ordered the army to say: "The person who killed the general was the chariot general He Miao. The soldiers can avenge the general."

?"

He Jin's subordinates all shed tears and said: "I am willing to risk my life to avenge the general!"

So Wu Kuang led his troops and together with Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Fengche Captain Dong Min, attacked and killed He Miao and threw his body in the palace garden.

Since then, He's relatives have perished!

On the other side, Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and other dozens of middle-ranking officials held the emperor hostage, and the Queen Mother and Chen Liu Wang Liu Xie fled to the Beigong.

Lu Zhi, the minister of state, stopped Zhang Rang and others at the minister's desk with his decades of famous history!

Lu Zhi held a sword in his hand and yelled loudly: "Zhang Rang doesn't want to deceive the emperor and destroy the clan, so please be your majesty immediately!"

Zhang asked Najia to give up his trump card and shouted to his men: "Kill them!"

But Zhang Rang underestimated Lu Zhi. Although he was a great scholar, he was eight feet tall, could shoot a three-stone bow with both arms, and his martial arts skills were not much inferior to those of generals. Lu Zhi took the lead and gave Zhang Rang a meal

Four or five small Huangmen were hacked to death by Lu Zhi!

Encouraged by Lu Zhi, other officials also attacked Zhang Rang and others with high morale!

Zhang Rang was greatly frightened and hurriedly fled. Empress Dowager He desperately tried to break away from Duan Gui's coercion and jumped from the window of the complex road to escape.

Zhang Rang and Duan Gui held the Emperor and King Chenliu hostage, and threatened the soldiers all the way, asking them to let go. The soldiers did not dare to disobey, so Zhang Rang let them escape from the palace and Luoyang City, taking dozens of them with them.

The only remaining Zhonghuang Cavalry rushed to the bank of the Yellow River.

But Lu Zhi also led a large army to continuously surround Zhang Rang and the others. Both sides had some scruples and the stalemate continued!

At this moment, a thunderous sound of horse hooves appeared, and soon both sides discovered that it was the Xiliang cavalry.

"Where is the Emperor? Your Majesty Dong Zhuo is here to protect you!"

Zhang Rang and others were shocked by Dong Zhuo's arrival. Zhang Rang threatened Dong Zhuo with the title of Emperor: "Don't come over. If you come again, I will kill the Emperor!"

But Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "Do you think that if you kill the emperor, there will be no one in my Han Dynasty who can become the emperor? It is a joke. I have tens of thousands of relatives in the Han Dynasty, and you are afraid that no one will become the emperor!"

Zhang Rang said angrily: "Dong Zhuo, the Zajia treat you well. If it weren't for the Zajia, you, a common man from Xiliang, would be able to serve as a former general. When you become a prince of the Han Dynasty, you will repay kindness with enmity!"

Dong Zhuo said calmly: "I bought this former general with my own money. Let's deal fairly and let's not talk about favors! Seeing that we still have some friendship, I will give you a pleasure. You can commit suicide! I

I will help you take care of the body."

Zhang Rang and Duan Gui looked pale, knowing that there was no possibility of survival. Xiliang men like Dong Zhuo would not care about His Majesty if they were so ruthless!

Zhang Rang gently let go of the young emperor and kowtowed in farewell, "I bid farewell to Your Majesty with this. I hope that Your Majesty will take good care of yourself."

Then he and Duan Gui threw themselves into the river and died.

Some other eunuchs followed them and jumped into the Yellow River. From then on, all the eunuch power of the Han Dynasty was destroyed!

Dong Zhuo turned over and dismounted, strode up to the emperor, bowed and saluted: "My former general Dong Zhuo, I pay my respects to your majesty. As long as I am here again today, no one can hurt your majesty!"

After saying that, he summoned his soldiers to protect the Young Emperor and King Chenliu!

But Lu Zhi stood in front of Dong Zhuo and said: "Your Majesty, we will protect him!"

Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "Your Majesty suffered this disaster because of your inability to protect him, so Zhang let them catch him. Now you actually have the nerve to say anything about protecting your majesty. It's so shameless!"

He waved back and said, "Come here, escort your Majesty back to Beijing."

Then ignore Lu Zhi and the others at all!

Lu Zhi looked at the arrogant and domineering Dong Zhuo and said helplessly: "Master, this is raising a tiger for trouble!"

Dong Zhuo escorted the young emperor back to the capital.

The emperor granted amnesty to the whole world and changed the year name from the first year of Guangxi to the first year of Zhaoning.

He worshiped former general Dong Zhuo as Sikong.

Yuan Mansion in Luoyang City!

Yuan Wei invited Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Rixi, Ding Gong, these important ministers, as well as the heads of the large and small families in Luoyang City to come to discuss matters!

Yuan Wei said solemnly: "After the Luoyang coup, all the eunuchs died, but the general also died, and the hussar general He Miao also died. Our long-cherished wish was fulfilled in one day, and there are no more treacherous eunuchs.

Come to oppress us, we can govern the country according to our own ideas."

Cui Lie also said happily: "Now that the eunuchs and relatives in the imperial court have been eliminated, there are no two major scourges in the world. As long as Huangfu Yizhen kills Lei Gong, the Han Dynasty will surely prosper again under our leadership!"

Ma Rixi also laughed and said: "There are finally no eunuchs or relatives in the court, and the government has finally fallen into the hands of gentlemen like us. Give us 10 years, and the Han Dynasty will definitely return to its prosperous age!"

The heads of the wealthy families present were all ecstatic, and some even cried with joy.

No wonder they are so happy. They have been suppressed by the eunuchs for decades since Emperor Ling. If you count Emperor Heng, it has been even longer. It has been almost 50 years. The government of the Han Dynasty has either been under the control of relatives or under the control of relatives.

The eunuchs had control, but it was not their turn for the scholars to control it. This time it was finally their turn to take charge of the matter!

But Yuan Wei didn't smile at all. Instead, he said with a cold face: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Have you ever thought about the thoughts of the emperor and the queen mother? In this Luoyang mutiny, hundreds of civil and military officials suffered heavy casualties. More than two thousand shi

More than 30 senior officials died, and we gained the most. Have you ever thought that the emperor and the queen mother would view this mutiny this way?"

Everyone's faces became solemn. Although there is no such thing as saying who benefits the most and who is the murderer in this world, they still have such awareness. Not to mention the mutiny and the rebel army attacking the palace and burning it down. This is simply ridiculous.

The emperor's face was stamped on the ground. No emperor could endure such a thing.

The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor are still in panic, but when they recover, they will definitely take revenge on everyone.

Gu Jun

But there are also many people who are enjoying the misfortune and want to watch the fun.

Of course the emperor and the queen mother will take revenge, and everyone knows who the target of revenge is! Of course, the current Taifu Yuan Wei!

There was no way anyone could make this mutiny happen. The Yuan family was too excited. Not only did Yuan Shu attack the palace, he also set fire to the Suzaku Gate. Yuan Shao killed the Hussars General He Miao and killed a large number of officials who had defected to the eunuchs.

But even the officials who defected to the eunuch party were also officials of the imperial court. He Yuan Shao, a lieutenant with a salary of 2,000 shi, dared to kill officials of the Sangong and Jiuqing levels. This can be regarded as rebellion. No matter who is in power in the future, he will not dare to use such subordinates.

!

Everyone originally wanted to push He Jin to kill the eunuchs, but they didn't expect the eunuchs to kill He Jin instead. Fortunately, the Yuan family jumped out and took the blame. No matter how the emperor and the queen mother retaliated, they would only retaliate against the Yuan family and they had nothing to do with it.

relation!

Therefore, many people have the idea of ​​​​causing trouble. Of course, they do not show it, but many people are secretly happy in their hearts. After all, the Yuan family’s fourth generation and three male giants are so annoying. There are only three positions for the third male, and your Yuan family occupies them.

, other families have no way to occupy it.

And you don’t occupy the position of the Third Duke once or twice, but you have to occupy the position of the Third Duke in every generation. This makes it impossible for everyone to play happily. Otherwise, if you say "Four Generations and Three Dukes," how will other families take over?

Now that the Yuan family is about to decline, it can be considered a good thing for other families. The Yuan family is a huge and powerful family. Without them in the Han Dynasty, a lot of official positions can be vacated. Even families that could not become three princes in the past can become more powerful.

One step further.

Yuan Wei looked at the faces of the family heads and ministers around him, and he could keenly sense that people like Cui Lie and Zhang Wen who had contributed to the rebellion were worried about the revenge of the emperor and the queen mother.

But the heads of the small family are a bit gloating. They are all waving flags and shouting, and no matter how much they take revenge, they can't get revenge on them. Anyway, if the sky falls, tall men like Yuan Wei will be the ones to hold it up. Even if they can't hold it back, it might still be them.

The beginning of the family!
