Chapter 254 Dong Zhuo Enters Beijing
A horse stood in front of the formation, with a bow and arrow hanging on the left and right sides of the saddle. The rider on the horseback had a fierce face and a fleshy face.
Cui Lie stepped forward slowly, looked at this murderous military horse whose origin was unknown, and said cautiously: "Here is the Son of Heaven, who is it?"
"Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, here to escort you!"
It turned out to be Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo's cavalry, Cui Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Zhuo urged the horse to go forward, only to see two thin young men sitting on a thin horse, although their clothes were ragged, they had an undisguised noble aura.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, just as he was about to go forward, the shorter boy said: "The Son of Heaven is here, why don't you worship?"
Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and hastily got off his horse, prostrating himself to the ground.
"Chen Bingzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, I have met His Majesty."
Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, opened his mouth to answer, but Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was quite silent, which made Dong Zhuo quite curious.
Li Ru on the side said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, let the knights in the army let the two horses come out, and firmly protect Your Majesty and King Chen Liu in our army."
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized, and hastily ordered the lieutenant soldiers to give up their horses, and helped King Chen Liu and Han Shaodi get on the horses.
But Dong Zhuo drove towards Luoyang with great fanfare, and met Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others along the way. Yuan Shao and others saw that Dong Zhuo had controlled the emperor, so they had to return to Luoyang with Dong Zhuo.
After the death of General He Jin, the city of Luoyang was in chaos, and the military strength he controlled was even more fragmented. The Northern Army, Sanhe Knights, and Habayashi Army didn't know who to listen to.
But at this time, Dong Zhuo's army in Hedong continued to march towards Luoyang. Dong Zhuo's military strength was second to none in Luoyang. Most of the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo, whose power was extremely inflated, was complacent, and gradually came up with the idea of abolishing the emperor.
"Wen You, the young emperor behaves frivolously and behaves like no one. King Chen Liu is smart and eloquent. I want to make King Chen Liu the emperor."
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Li Ru nodded slowly after thinking about it.
"Although my father-in-law has tens of thousands of soldiers, I'm afraid there are still many people in Luoyang City who are dissatisfied with my father-in-law. I just took this opportunity to see who will jump out, and then kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
Li Ru, who is indifferent by nature, speaks coldly, and doesn't pay attention to the abolition of the emperor at all. I have to say that Dong Zhuo is just right with Li Ru.
On the second day, Dong Zhuo immediately proposed at the court meeting, expressing that he would abolish Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and make King Chenliu the new emperor.
"You Dong Zhuo are just a Bingzhou shepherd, do you still dare to imitate Huo Guang?"
The first person who jumped out to oppose was the former Captain Wumeng, and the new Jinwu Dingyuan. Dong Zhuo fought with Ding Yuan twice, and each had a victory. Turning against the water, and mastering more than ten thousand soldiers and horses under Ding Yuan's command, Dong Zhuo's army was close to one hundred thousand in a short time, which can be said to be powerful in the world.
Seeing Ding Yuan's death with his own eyes, except for Shangshu Lu Zhi who stood up and denounced Dong Zhuo as a traitor, no one in Luoyang dared to oppose Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill Lu Zhi as an example to others, but Li Ru persuaded him that Lu Zhi was a famous Confucian in the country. Enjoy the reputation, if you kill it, it will hinder your reputation.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo dismissed Lu Zhi and returned to his hometown. At the same time, he listened to Li Ru's suggestion and recruited his servant Cai Yong and other domestic celebrities to enter the court as officials.
No one raised any objections, and Dong Zhuo's abolition of the establishment was successful. Han Shaodi Liu Bian was abolished as King Hongnong, and Chenliu King Liu Xie was established as emperor, that is, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Since Liu Bian was abolished as Hongnong King, he naturally could not stay in Luoyang, but was sent to Hongnong by soldiers sent by Dong Zhuo.
Xun You, the Huangmen servant who was born in the famous Xun family in Yingchuan, offered to escort King Hongnong and Queen Mother He to Hongnong. Facing the "goodwill" released by Xun You, Dong Zhuo was naturally willing to accept it, and immediately asked Xun You to command the five Hundreds of soldiers and horses headed west slowly.
On the official road of Yongzhou, two carriages were surrounded by five hundred soldiers and horses, and they walked slowly westward.
A knight galloped out of the formation, rushed to the second carriage, and asked softly through the curtain: "Xunhuangmen, it's time for dinner."
A voice came from inside the carriage and said: "Okay, wait a minute and start a fire to cook, so I will go to the Queen Mother and King Hongnong's carriage to have a look."
After all, the door curtain was gently opened, and Xun You jumped out of the carriage and walked to the first carriage.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, please enter and pay your respects."
The voice inside the car was a bit cold: "Xun Huangmen, please come in."
After Xun You got the answer, he walked into the carriage and saw a total of four people in the carriage, three women and one man. Among them, the richer one was the Empress Dowager He, and the other two young ones were palace maids and Liu Bian's wife Tang Ji. Serving Empress Dowager He personally, and that boy is naturally King Hongnong.
Empress Dowager He looked at Xun You and said coldly, "Why is Xun Huangmen interested in visiting our orphans and widows?"
In the eyes of Empress Dowager He, Xun You is "helping Dong to abuse", and he is not required to risk his life to refute Dong Zhuo like Lu Zhi, even if he keeps silent.
But Xun You is "active" enough! To actually take the initiative to apply to escort his mother and son to Hongnong County, isn't this determined to flatter Dong Zhuo?
On the other hand, Liu Bian had no expression on his face. It would be nice not to be an emperor, but what fate awaited him in Hongnong?
Xun You took a step forward slowly, and got a little closer to the four people in the car. The Empress Dowager He was startled and reprimanded sharply: "Xun You! Are you going to commit crimes against the superior and kill the king?"
Empress Dowager He, Tang Ji and the court lady hugged into a ball, panicking.
"Queen, stop shouting." Liu Bian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xun You calmly.
"Dong Zhuo sent you here, right?" The turning point in the past few days hit Liu Bian hard, and at the same time, it also made him grow up rapidly and began to understand his own environment.
Unexpectedly, Xun You shook his head and said in a low voice: "What I will say next may surprise the Queen Mother and the King, so please cover your mouths and don't cry out in surprise."
Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian were taken aback for a moment, while Xun You spoke slowly.
"The reason why Weichen asked to escort the queen mother and the king is not to please Dong Zhuo, but to rescue the queen mother and the king! Weichen has ordered the deceased at home to carry letters to Liangzhou day and night. When the time comes, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will be able to get rid of Dong Zhuo's hands."
The faces of the four people in the car changed drastically, while Liu Bian was muttering to himself.
"Uncle?"
"Bian'er, we are saved!" Empress Dowager He wept with joy.
