Liu Zhang retreated bravely, giving up the right to dominate the government and the public, giving up the power at his fingertips, and giving up too much! All the ministers couldn't help but have a question in their minds, did Liu Zhang, who was not even a weakling, really have such a high level of consciousness?
Maybe, maybe not, but no matter what, Liu Zhang proved to everyone with his actual actions that he had no intention of dominating the court, let alone the idea of being a powerful minister!
Perhaps, we have all misunderstood Liu Zhang, he is the real loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
At this time, the ministers had such an idea in their minds! Unfortunately, it was too late, Liu Zhang had already left the court! What they were about to face was Dong Zhuo, a real national thief who was dozens of times more ferocious than Liu Zhang!
"Ministers, Yuan Feng has returned home to take care of his old age, and General Wei Liu Zhang is no longer involved in political affairs. Then everything in the court will fall on our family! But please don't worry, our family is not afraid of being affected.
Leave it to our family, there will be no problem!”
The ministers couldn't help but become disheartened when they heard Dong Zhuo's righteous and hypocritical words! What will happen if the court is handed over to Dong Zhuo?
"Dong Sikong!"
A pleasant female voice came, and Dong Zhuo quickly turned around, but he didn't expect it to be the Queen Mother He!
"What's the matter Queen Mother?"
Dong Zhuo had a greedy look on his face as he looked at Queen Mother He unscrupulously.
Not only did Queen Mother He not show any signs of anger, but she frequently made small moves to tease Dong Zhuo.
"Dong Sikong, didn't General Cai Wei say just now that the late emperor left a decree for the eldest prince Liu Bian to succeed to the throne. I wonder what Dong Sikong thinks?"
Although Dong Zhuo coveted the body of Queen Mother He, he was not blinded by lust. He also knew that he could not do such a thing overnight.
"Haha, the Queen Mother misunderstood. General Wei just made a small metaphor. But if the Queen Mother He still has doubts, she might as well discuss it with the Queen Mother He alone..."
Dong Zhuo was so bold that he dared to openly pursue the idea of Empress Dowager He! But something even more shocking happened to all the ministers. Empress Dowager He actually nodded!
"Everyone, our family has long said that the second prince Liu Xie is talented and intelligent, and is suitable for serving in the ancestral temple and inheriting the country! Our family has seen the future and will be suitable to ascend the throne in ten days. At that time, all the ministers will join our family in supporting the new emperor!"
None of the ministers responded to Dong Zhuo's words, they all remained silent, and Dong Zhuo was filled with anger!
"Listen to me! From now on, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish! Anyone who disobeys me will be killed immediately!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and thrust it into the ground again!
"As commanded..."
After all, they chose to save their lives. The ministers no longer had a stalemate with Dong Zhuo for their beliefs, but chose to accept his fate!
"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! Wouldn't it be better if you just did this earlier?"
Dong Zhuo finally laughed heartily, feeling truly satisfied at this moment!
"Yang Biao, now that Situ's position is vacant, we will give it to you!"
Yang Biao looked at Dong Zhuo in confusion, his eyes full of suspicion. He didn't believe his ears at all now!
"Why, don't you want Situ's position?"
"Ah! Yes, yes!"
After Dong Zhuo confirmed again, Yang Biao reacted and quickly thanked him, completely forgetting that he was still against Dong Zhuo before!
"Thank you Dong Sikong. Yang Biao will do his best to live up to Dong Sikong's high expectations!"
Why did Yang Biao change so quickly? It was because Situ's position was too important to him!
Yang Biao’s father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all officials up to Taiwei! Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the official position of Taiwei seemed to be prepared for the Yang family!
The biggest reason why the current family is headed by the Yuan family and the Yang family is willing to take second place is that during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, no one from the Yang family was in the position of the three princes!
On the other hand, the Yuan family has never ceased their duties as three princes! Now even the Taiwei has been snatched away by the Yuan family!
Yang Biao is a man with ideals and ambitions. How can he be willing to be inferior to the Yuan family? But there is no way at the moment. All he can do is to be patient! Dong Zhuo's sudden promotion of him this time made Yang Biao see the opportunity to set foot again.
The dawn of a top-notch family.
"snort!"
A discordant voice suddenly appeared in the hall, with anger, irritation and a hint of jealousy. It was Yuan Wei who looked at Yang Biao with an unkind expression.
The Yuan family, who is accustomed to sitting in the first place, naturally does not want to see the Yang family rise again. Yang Biao's promotion to Situ this time will undoubtedly challenge the Yuan family's status!
Dong Zhuo showed a sneer, he just wanted this reaction from Yuan Wei! The more violent the Yuan family and the Yang family are, the better. Only by confronting the two top families of Yuan and Yang can the conflict be transferred, and Dong Zhuo's position will become more and more stable.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, ladies and gentlemen! Please go back and rest!"
The emperor's successor has been decided, and things have finally settled. Next, Dong Zhuo only needs to stabilize the situation in the court, and he can move forward to higher places step by step!
The ministers resigned one after another, and Empress Dowager He also teased Dong Zhuo before leaving. Only Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager Dong were left in the palace.
Because of the fact that Liu Xie could ascend the throne, Empress Dowager Dong was in a good mood these days, her face was radiant, and her face was even more rosy, which fascinated Dong Zhuo even more.
"Dong Sikong, is there anything else?"
Empress Dowager Dong frowned slightly, Dong Zhuo's eyes were too rude, he stared at her unscrupulously, and his eyes seemed to penetrate her clothes!
Now all the power is under Dong Zhuo's control. The troops in Luoyang City are gradually being replaced, and the imperial guards in the palace have also been withdrawn by Liu Zhang. It won't be long before Luoyang City is full of Dong Zhuo's people.
!
"I supported Liu Xie's ascension to the throne. Shouldn't the Queen Mother thank Dong?"
Dong Zhuo can no longer hold back, now he can truly be unscrupulous!
He gently waved his hand back, and Lu Bu immediately understood what was happening behind him, and immediately led all the soldiers out of the hall. Only Dong Zhuo and the Empress Dowager Dong were left in the entire Yongle Palace!
"Dong Sikong... Aijia... Aijia... thank you..."
Seeing Dong Zhuo approaching step by step, Empress Dowager Dong was already frightened. You could tell what Dong Zhuo was thinking from his narrow eyes!
Empress Dowager Dong had already stood up and kept moving back, but when she took one step back, Dong Zhuo took two steps closer!
Finally, Dong Zhuo forced her to the wall and grabbed Empress Dowager Dong's wrist.
"Dong Sikong, what are you going to do! How dare you be rude to the Ai family!"
Empress Dowager Dong was extremely ashamed and angry. Ever since the death of her husband, she had always adhered to women's ethics and had not let a man touch her for many years!
"Haha, you have to be clear. If I can put Liu Xie on the throne, I can pull him down! I believe that Queen Mother He will do anything for his son!"
Seeing Dong Zhuo's greedy look and those big hands that kept approaching, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but shed painful tears.
