Chapter Thirty: Emperor Xian ascends the throne (2)
"He Jie? I heard that he had a friendship with Zhu Kui, the Marquis of Yangzi, and during this period, my father-in-law has been exploring horses to find the traces of his three thousand squadrons and cavalry, but he has found nothing. It seems that he went the other way and must have been in a military camp near Luoyang.
, You should know that there are many troops in Luoyang recently under different troops, the so-called most dangerous place and the safest, and the key to military and horses is deeply rooted in the military and horses." Li Ru frowned and commented.
"When I worked with him in Liangzhou, I met several times. I wanted to have a deep relationship with him several times, but he had no intention of talking. It seemed that he was going to go against me to the end." Dong Zhuo recalled, and his chest was furious and his face was cold.
: "I originally wanted to find someone. If I were willing to surrender, I would be able to be Han Xin under my command. Now I swear to kill him."
"Niu Fu, please send 30,000 troops to pursue Zhu Kui and kill into Jiangxia. If you don't take his head, you will not be allowed to return to the court."
"No!" Niu Fu bowed his command and was about to go out.
"Stop!" Li Ru hurriedly stepped out and called Niu Fu. After the latter stopped, he turned around and bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Don't he be angry, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, how can he send large troops to conquer? Isn't Luoyang empty?
, in the land of the Three Auxiliary Officers in Chang'an, there are 30,000 elite Yulin Cavalry in Huangfu Song, so you must not act voluntarily."
When Dong Zhuo was most wise, he was obeying Li Ruyan's plan. It was because of this slightly overwhelming son-in-law that he had the power of the world today. Li Ru's advice gradually calmed down his anger.
"Wenyou, in your opinion, what should I do? Could it be that Zhu Kui and Liu Bian will be released back to Jiangxia for nothing, and let it go without paying attention?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Li Ruluo made Chen Ning and quickly replied: "They left the palace last night, but the four gates were closed, so there must be a secret passage. It was only half a day, and I couldn't ride three thousand steps long, but Xu Rong led 8,000
The light cavalry went south along the road to pursue. If they could catch up, it would be a blessing. They could be killed on the spot. Otherwise, if they could not pursue others, it would not affect the overall situation."
This is the result of the old-fashioned idea.
The plan has been decided, so Dong Zhuo had to put aside the matter between Liu Bian and Zhu Kui, speed up the preparations for Liu Xie's ascension to the throne, and at the same time, he sent more heavy troops to defend the Beigong, especially the Yong'an Palace where Liu Xie was placed under house arrest. He can't run away this time."
At the same time, the news of the death of Empress Dowager He and the Shaodi came from the palace, and everyone in the court was shocked. They actually killed first and then established, rather than abolished first and then killed. The degree of cruelty was far better than that of Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, a group of famous officials had been killed.
The remaining ministers only dare to protect themselves and slander them privately.
As for believing Dong Zhuo's words, Empress Dowager He and Shaodi really missed each other and died, there was no one who could make a single official or a half in the court, so naturally they were not stupid people.
Another example is Yuan Wei, Zhang Wen and other three ministers in the court, who had spies in the palace, and they learned the truth. The young emperor was rescued, but who was rescued, but there was no way to investigate. Xu Rong went south to chase him.
, naturally, the only suspect was Zhu Kui, the prefect of Jiangxia who was also summoned to Luo.
But they were powerless to do anything about these things. It was their duty to prepare for Liu Xie's ascend the throne for his wealth and life.
In fact, the artifacts for the ascension ceremony have been prepared since Dong Zhuo's intention to abolish and establish them. All they lack is the date and control of the court officials. When they mobilize, they are not in a hurry.
On the second day, the rising sun was at the moment, Jiade Hall.
The three dukes and nine ministers, civil and military ministers, walked into the court one by one, like puppets, solemn and speechless.
Then Dong Zhuo went to the palace with his sword and a thousand armored soldiers. There was a black and yellow sedan chair in the middle, and Liu Xie, the King of Chenliu, was guarded by the front and rear, and was full of murderous aura.
Xunzhuo's face was extremely arrogant and domineering, holding a sword in his hand, his two thick eyes added a fierce look. He came to the emperor's throne in a few steps, looked around, showing his brilliance and beauty. Even Liu Xie, who was about to ascend the throne, was located under him.
.
The young emperor escaped, and Dong Zhuo lied that he was dead. At this moment, the dragon throne was naturally empty. After looking at the civil and military officials, he was satisfied with his current power. He drew his sword and shouted loudly, "The Emperor Ling is young and old.
After passing away, and last night, the young emperor and the queen mother died of depression, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. We all should quickly establish a new emperor."...
After saying that, his eyes turned around and looked at his son-in-law Li Ru, indicating that it was time for him to touch him.
Li Ru understood, and put on his face, pulled out a script from his sleeve, shook it and unfolded it, and read it out: "Emperor Xiaoling has long abandoned his subjects; the young emperor inherited his heirs, looking inside the sea. I don't want the emperor, but I miss my father.
After illness and death with his mother, it can be said that filial piety and righteousness move the heaven, and the heaven has tears. However, the three principles and the laws of heaven and earth are not missing? The king of Chenliu has a great sage, and the rules are solemn; when he is mourning, he is mourning,
Don’t speak evilly; don’t make a good reputation. What is heard in the world should be well-behaved and ruled by all generations. Be regarded as emperor, obey the heavens and obey people, and comfort the hopes of living beings!”
The text of the article here is abolishing the title, but unfortunately the young emperor, Empress Dowager He, ran away all the time, had no choice but to modify it overnight, and to persuade him to advance the title.
"Come here! Please King Chenliu ascend the supreme!" After Li Ruxuan finished summoning, Dong Zhuo's mouth slid a little proudly, and he waved his hand immediately. Some confidant soldiers came forward one after another, hugged them left and put them down on the supreme position.
Although Liu Xienian, the King of Chenliu, was nine years old, just like outside Luoyang City that day, he had just stepped forward to ask Dong Zhuo for his brother, and was very precocious. He knew very well that although he had obtained the throne of the emperor, he had no reality as an emperor. This was just a puppet.
Just...
Sitting on the dragon throne woodenly, touching the footsteps of his father, silently crying sadly. He refused to ascend the throne more than once, and quarreled. After all, Dong Zhuo took out his sword fiercely and threatened to death. After all, he was still a child.
After saying that he had no backbone, he silently hoped that there would be loyal ministers and good generals in the court to eliminate the thieves for the country.
Not to mention that Liu Xie's face was dull and there was no smile. The ministers' congratulations were like mechanical. After shouting three times, there was no other congratulations.
Then he heard Li Ru start to read the first edict after Liu Xie ascended the throne.
The first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Ping, which was the last emperor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian. The famous Three Kingdoms period in history began from the day when Emperor Xian ascended the throne.
Dong Zhuo appointed his abolished prime minister and appointed him as the chief minister. In addition, he was named the Grand Tutor, and the Three Dukes and the General were not comparable to each other.
Li Ru, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Guo Si and other close friends gave rewards to everyone. All generals and schools in the Xiliang Army all had positions in the court. In such a large court, all those who are in power were in the hands of Dong Zhuo. Since Dong Zhuo was appointed as the prime minister, would he pay homage to him?
Fame, he did not go to the court, and his swords and shoes came to the palace, and for a moment, his power and fortune were for a moment.
Outside, Cai Yong, a Ph.D. in the Imperial Academy, had no power, but was just a staff officer like a counselor. However, under Dong Zhuo's promotion, Cai Yong suddenly turned into a left-level general.
He was granted the title of the marquis of Gaoyang Township, and was appointed as the general, holding it high to show his desire for famous scholars in the country.
This time, Emperor Xian ascended the throne, Yuan Wei made great contributions. Dong Zhuo naturally would not forget that although Yuan Shao repeatedly treated each other fiercely during this period, the most serious time he treated each other with swords at the banquet, and then left angrily
Go and flee to Jizhou.
But Dong Zhuo still appointed him as the prefect of Bohai and was granted the title of Marquis of Qixiang.
Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng had already reached the third duke, and had no good official positions to give them. They each had the title of Grand Tutor and added them to their titles and fiefs.
Among them, Yuan Shu made the most profit, and was directly promoted by Dong Zhuo to the rear general from the Hu Ben General, which can be said to have several levels of leap, and can be compared with Zhu Kui.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu didn't appreciate all this. He had already seen through it. Dong Zhuo was cruel and violent. He snatched the capital, harmed the emperor, and established a young emperor. A man without foundation did not think about slowly trying to do it. Instead, he abdicated his ministers and scholars. His power was determined for a long time.
If you don’t leave now, you will be detrimental to you in the future.
He took over the position of general without hesitation and fled to Nanyang immediately.
On the official road of Henan Yin, a cavalry was riding, with ten cavalry in a row, neatly arranged, and an elite jockey, the only shortcoming was the dusty look on the face of the cavalry.
The leader of the team was Xu Rong, eight feet tall and tall. He was a typical Liaodong man. Unlike the knights behind him, his eyes were clear and without any fatigue...
Starting from Luoyang, I inquire all the way, and there was no trace of Zhu Kui's three thousand infantry and cavalry retreating south, but I could not do anything and return to the camp to report.
Remembering that Xinzheng Nai Zhu Kui's first stop of the troops stationed, he rushed to the scene. Regardless of whether he could catch up, he would at least explain to Dong Zhuo.
"Report!"
During the march, two fast horses ran towards him in the distance, one of whom was carrying the man horizontally and soon approached Xu Rong.
With one hand, the army stopped, the spy turned over and dismounted, and reported: "General, I caught a hunter and there was news of the rebels."
As soon as Liu Xie took office, Dong Zhuo convicted Zhu Kui of treason on false charges, the reason was that he was ordered by General He to enter Luo, but he secretly hid his troops and horses and did not pay homage to the new emperor, and his intention to rebel was obvious.
"Brother, don't panic. Tell me what you know. I will ask you to get the money and leave later." Xu Rong ordered his subordinates to let him go, and asked in a nice voice.
The hunter raised his head tremblingly, responded with respect, and said slowly: "General, yesterday afternoon, the villain was hunting in Yuanshan. Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came. He poked out of the woods and saw that there were military horses advancing.
vaguely looked at the words "Zhu" written on the flag, and then headed east and then went south with the mountain road."
"Yuanshan?" Xu Rong was happy when he heard what the hunter said, the soldiers who fled Zhu Kuinan were happy and thought to himself: "It turned out that he was going around the east road and then back south. It was indeed very careful."
He instructed his personal soldiers to take the hunters down and receive rewards, and then waved his hand, changed his marching formation, and chased him southward.
Xu Rong was not worried about chasing him so urgently. The eight thousand light cavalry he brought out this time were all elite Liangzhou, and he was full of confidence in facing three thousand people.
Moreover, Zhu Kui had also seen him from afar. During the rebellion of Liangzhou, he was still a small tooth general of Dong Zhuo. Therefore, he never underestimated his opponent this time and knew that although the other party was younger than him, he was actually using troops.
Everyone.
Xu Rong knew Zhu Kui and liked to use lightning to chase the troops. In the past, Xiliang, such a light cavalry suddenly appeared, and then he defeated Han Sui.
This time he learned what he learned and used his way to give to him.
