Chapter 99: Abolition of the Proposal
"It's outrageous. Hua Xiong dared to be rude to Mr. Cai and rebel against him!" Listening to the story of the generals of the Cai family, Dian Wei frowned. Who doesn't know that Cai Yong is Ye Zhao's mentor in the entire Luoyang City? He came to the Cai Mansion for no reason, not only killing people, but also robbed Cai Yong and his daughter. This is a troublemaker.
Guan Hai looked at Ye Zhao, clasped his fists and said, "Please ask the lord to give the soldiers to the Imperial General. The Imperial General Cai Weng and Miss Zhaoji will be safely snatched back."
"Dong Zhuo held a banquet to invite all officials in Luoyang, but he didn't recruit me." Ye Zhao groped his chin and said, "Now he took his mentor away, so he should have a good talk with him. Fang Yue gathered his troops and entered the city."
No matter what Dong Zhuo intended, he was undoubtedly provoking Ye Zhao when he attacked Cai Yong. Although Ye Zhao was willing to give in, he would not admit defeat without any bottom line. He immediately stood up and said.
"Here!" Fang Yue bowed and ordered people to blew the assembly call.
Cai Yong's incident came a little suddenly. Before that, Ye Zhao had never thought that Dong Zhuo would come to provoke him after he made such obvious concessions. This was somewhat tempting. But since he had already reached the bottom line, there was no room for any turnaround. Ye Zhao reacted simply and directly called out all the people left in Luoyang, which was probably beyond the expectations of most people.
The troops stationed in the city gate have been taken away by Dong Zhuo. The city gate captain who is now stationed in the west gate has been replaced by Dong Zhuo's confidant. When he saw the mighty soldiers appear outside the city, he was obviously shocked.
"Who Ye stayed!" The soldiers in Xiyuan came too suddenly, and there was no time to close the city gate. The captain of the city gate could only step forward with a tough bullet and bowed to Ye Zhao.
"I want to enter the city. I will discuss some things with Dong Liangzhou, please let it go." Ye Zhao's face was not angry at all, and even a little smile, and his tone was very gentle.
"Mr. Ye is forgiven for his crimes. The last general's duty is. If Mar. Ye wants to enter the city, please help his troops..." The city gate captain bowed again, but before he could finish speaking, his eyebrows ached. A crossbow arrow pierced his head without any warning, his body leaned back slightly, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"I don't mean to discuss it with you!" Ye Zhao took out a crossbow arrow from his waist and refilled it slowly.
Although the city gate captain was Dong Zhuo's confidant, the soldiers and horses around him were all the former city gate guards in Luoyang. Naturally, they knew Ye Zhao's name. Seeing Ye Zhao suddenly attacked without warning, he directly killed the city gate captain. He was at a loss for a moment, not knowing whether to go or not.
But the next moment, they didn't need to worry anymore, but when Xu Rong quickly commanded the soldiers to rush forward and occupy the city gate, the weapons of the city gate guards were also suppressed.
Ye Zhao looked at Xu Rong with praise and nodded, "Before I come back, I will guarantee that the Ximen will not be lost. In addition, these city gate guards are yours. Whether they can be incorporated depends on your ability."
"Don't worry, lord!" Xu Rong intervened and gave a gift: "The last general will never let down his entrustedness!"
"Enter the city!"
With Ye Zhao's order, tens of thousands of troops began to enter the city in a mighty manner. Such a large-scale movement could naturally be hidden from Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears.
Soon, the troops from various battalions, who had received instructions from Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in advance, gathered towards the west city, preparing to cut off Ye Zhao's retreat.
After entering the city, Ye Zhao's army did not rush towards the Dong Mansion. Ye Zhao only brought Dian Wei, He Man and five hundred guards to Dong Zhuo's mansion. Fang Yue, Guan Hai, Meng Hu and others began to quickly occupy important places in batches after entering the city, and put several nearby streets in martial law.
When the people of Luoyang saw this formation, they were afraid that they would be affected again, so they fled one after another and ran towards other gates, seriously hindering the pace of the Western Liang Army.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo's mansion was deserted in the morning, but now it was already crowded. All the ministers and famous Luoyang scholars were invited. Looking up, they were all nobles. However, if you were in it, you would find a dead silence. A famous minister or Luoyang scholar's face was gloomy. Every time a minister came in, everyone's expression would be ugly.
Dong Zhuo directly "invite" them in a tough way this time, which made many people feel helpless and extremely angry.
If anyone who can be invited is placed outside, no one is respected. Wherever he goes, he will be humble. Even the emperor of the past will not force them without reason. If he is unhappy, he will not be sick. How could he gain power in the world in the past and dare not be so arrogant. But this time, Dong Zhuo did this, which made everyone feel quite unhappy, and also made many people truly feel the importance of military power for the first time. Even if they are full of knowledge and face a group of tigers and wolves who are like wolves and tigers, they will not reason with you. There are no other ways except to compromise. Several hard bones have been washed away by Dong Zhuo's blood. This is not a joke, and not everyone can show their integrity in their bones in front of the butcher knife.
When life and dignity are truly compared, life is often more important.
Although Ye Zhao Yongxing Craftshop has already released some round tables where everyone can sit together, in the mainstream, the main table is still in the previous habits, with a total of 48 short tables placed in the hall, which seems a bit crowded, and plates of food are served like running water. There are palace maids invited by Dong Zhuo from the palace to help serve the dishes. Now Dong Zhuo has taken charge of the north and south palaces, but because of Ye Zhao's existence and Yuan Shao's presence, he also took charge of some military power. Dong Zhuo dared not be too presumptuous. He also invited the palace maids through formal channels to Queen Mother He.
After all the officials arrived one after another, Dong Zhuo left the hall and entered the hall with his sword until all the officials arrived.
"I was very relieved to be able to have a seat with you all today. I remember that Zhuo first entered Luoyang City. Not to mention the same seat with you all, it was a great difficulty to visit you all. Now that I want to come, I feel very moved." Dong Zhuo raised his wine cup, toasted everyone, and smiled generously: "Please!"
The ministers were reluctant, but at this moment, the knife was placed on their necks. If they didn't drink this cup of toast, they would probably have to drink and punish them later.
Among the ministers, there were only Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan, and Cao Cao, who remained silent and did not accept this cup, but just responded with silence.
Seeing that most of the ministers had drunk this glass, Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction and looked at Li Ru beside him. After three rounds of wine, Dong Zhuo suddenly took off his sword and put it heavily on the table.
Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan both frowned and looked up at Dong Zhuo. A famous scholar frowned and said, "What does this mean by Mr. Dong?"
Dong Zhuo sat upright and said sternly: "Zhuo has a word, please listen quietly!"
Looking at the silent ministers, Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "The emperor is the lord of all people. Without majesty, it is not enough to shock the world and to serve the country. However, today, the cowardly, regardless of talent, majesty or intelligence, is not as good as the emperor's appearance as the King of Chenliu. Moreover, the late emperor also passed on a will to make King of Chenliu the emperor, but it was only because of the tyrants of He Jin that the throne fell. Now Zhuo entered the capital with the edict and wanted to accept the imperial edict of the former emperor and abolish the emperor's will. I wonder what the ministers and ministers meant?"
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, his eyes looked at the ministers present like a knife. The ministers took their reputation and dared not fight with them, and they all kept silent. Cai Yong frowned and said, "Dong Liangzhou said he came to the imperial edict. Can you show the imperial edict of the late emperor?"
"Don't worry, if there was no last emperor's will, how dare Zhuo lead his troops into the capital without his will?" Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile, took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Li Ru, signaling Li Ru to deliver it to Cai Yong and smiled and said, "Please circulate it!"
Cai Yong received the edict, and he was the emperor's teacher. He was naturally familiar with Liu Hong's handwriting. After taking a closer look, he also had the seal of the jade seal of the country. It was indeed the last emperor's will. He was confused, but he could not directly refute that it was not the last emperor's will. He could not say such an ignorant statement, so he could only hand the edict to Lu Zhi beside him.
After all, Lu Zhi stayed in the officialdom for a long time, and after confirming the authenticity of the edict, he did not speak. Now that he has reached this point, no matter whether the edict is true or false, with Dong Zhuo's current strength, no one can stop him from doing the decree and enactment, let alone the edict is still true. Even if he wants to refute, he should not refute it himself.
The ministers circulated the edict one by one, and Dong Zhuo looked proud. As long as the ministers confirmed the truth of the edict, the matter of abolishing the edict could be decided.
"Benchu, this..." The edict was sent to Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan did not recognize Liu Hong's handwriting, and could only tell that the jade seal was real. He turned his head to look at Yuan Shao beside him.
"It was indeed the handwriting of the late emperor." Yuan Shao sighed. He couldn't understand how such an edict could have run to Dong Zhuo. Even if he wanted to pass it, he should pass it on Ye Zhao.
"If you guys confirm, we will wait..." Dong Zhuo saw that it had been passed on for a long time and no one spoke. He was about to take back the edict, but he saw Ding Yuan suddenly stood up and kicked the table in front of him away.
"Rareless!" Dong Zhuo was furious when he saw this, pointed at Ding Yuan and shouted angrily.
"You are arrogant!" Ding Yuan suddenly tore the edict to pieces in a fury look, pointing to Dong Zhuo and said, "Who are you? You dare to say abolition! The emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor. He has not made any mistakes since he ascended the throne. You are only a good son of a six-county county. With a forgery of the edict, you want to talk about abolition!?"
"You are looking for death!" Dong Zhuo drew his sword, and two rows of soldiers outside the door rushed in, and wanted to kill Ding Yuan.
"Who dares to hurt my adoptive father!" Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to take action, he heard a loud shout outside the door. When he looked up, he saw a man, nearly a meter tall, and was so majestic. He held a square painting halberd and walked in. He saw the armored soldiers pounced on Ding Yuan and grabbed them. He picked up a armored soldiers like he was carrying a chicken. He threw them away. The armored soldiers flew out with their hands and feet, knocking them over directly.
"Who is this?" Dong Zhuo was shocked when he saw this.
