Chapter 127 The Cruel Dong Zhuo
Dong Zhuo put on his clothes and hat, adjusted his clothes, and regained his spirit.

At this moment, only the voice of the guard outside the door sounded: "Prime Minister, Marquis Wen, please see me!"

Dong Zhuo panicked when he heard the words: "Could it be that they lost the Hulao pass again?"

"Father-in-law, don't be impatient. I recalled Marquis Wen overnight. When father-in-law was about to move the capital, I was afraid that someone would harm him, so I called Marquis Wen back to protect his father-in-law's safety!" Li Ru said calmly. .

"Feng Xian came back, what about Hulao Pass?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru while waving his hand to signal Lu Bu to come in.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Xue Andu Zhang Xiu lost Sishui Pass, and he dare not go out to fight again. As long as the princes don't pay with the lives of soldiers, Hulao Pass will be safe!" Li Ru said firmly.

At this time, Lu Bu who entered the palace heard this, and comforted Dong Zhuo, saying: "Father, my son has already ordered Zhang Liao under his command, and Gao Shun will put him in prison. The two of them are stable and prudent, there will be no accidents!"

"Okay, since that's the case, Feng Xian will follow me into the palace to discuss the matter of moving the capital, Wen You, and you will arrange the retreat of the Guandong princes at that time!" Dong Zhuo nodded before he felt relieved.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Ruding will be safe!" Li Ru said confidently.

"If that's the case, then inform the ministers to discuss matters in the court and discuss the matter of moving the capital!" Dong Zhuo relieved himself and ordered his subordinates to inform the ministers, and he took Lv Bu and three thousand elites from Xiliang to the palace.

Dong Zhuo rushed to the palace early, Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu were all wearing swords, and Dong Zhuo's little emperor Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair, trembling with fright.

When Liu Bian was in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo seduced Liu Xie.Bringing Liu Xie by his side, he looked like a loyal minister, but after Liu Bian fled Luoyang, Dong Zhuo made Liu Xie emperor, and his true nature was exposed. He often slept in the dragon bed, Liu Xie had no power at all, and became Dong Zhuo puppet.

Now when Liu Xie sees Dong Zhuo, he is too frightened to make a sound. It is far inferior to Liu Bian's imperial prestige in Luoyang. Even Dong Zhuo suffered a great loss under Liu Bian's hands, leaving only one ear. .

Many civil and military officials, seeing Liu Xie's posture now, couldn't help sighing secretly, regretting not following Liu Bian.But it's too late to regret it now, if Liu Bian rejuvenates the Han Dynasty.They are all rebellious officials and thieves, they can only follow Liu Xie, and go all the way to the dark.

All the civil and military officials gradually arrived, each of them found a seat in the main hall, sat down on their knees, taking pictures of Dong Zhuo's majesty, all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Seeing that Wen and Wu had arrived, Dong Zhuo cut straight to the point and said, "Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been in existence for more than two hundred years. Its energy has been weakened, and it is difficult for a big Han to prosper! I watched the sky at night and found that the air is strong in Chang'an. I want to move the capital to Chang'an by the emperor. Hurry up, everyone." Go back quickly, prepare to pack your bags, and leave early!"

Dong Zhuo didn't blush, he couldn't breathe, and he didn't blush when he told a lie. Behind him, Lu Bu's face twitched, watching the sky at night?When will you be able to watch the sky at night and still look forward to your breath?For a moment, Lu Bu admired Dong Zhuo that much.

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he looked around to see who would dare to oppose him.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Situ Yang Biao stood up. Yang Biao is the head of the Yang family of the Guanzhong clan. If the capital is moved, his Yang family's foundation will definitely be destroyed.Dong Zhuo was not surprised that Yang Biao stood up to object.

"Prime Minister, now that Chang'an is dilapidated and dilapidated, the ancestral temple and imperial mausoleum are abandoned for no reason, which may cause chaos in the world. I hope the Prime Minister will monitor it and think twice before acting!" Yang Biao remonstrated with his hands clasped.

Dong Zhuo sneered and said murderously in his eyes, "Are you trying to hinder the country's plans?"

Yang Biao was taken aback by Dong Zhuo's eyes, but when he saw Lv Bu standing behind Dong Zhuo with his sword drawn, he didn't dare to speak.

Yang Biao was afraid of death and did not dare to speak, but some people were not afraid of death. Taiwei Huang Wan got up again and stood up and said, "Master and apprentice Yang said it is true. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and burned Chang'an when he was reforming his red eyebrows. Now Chang'an has already been completely turned into Washuo, and even more people have migrated, and now Chang'an has fewer people than before. It is really inappropriate to abandon the palace and become the emperor now!"

Huang Wan was a veteran of the Han Dynasty, and he was actually thinking for Liu Xie. Chang'an was in ruins and could not be lived in. What he said was reasonable, and all the civil and military officials nodded in agreement.

"Hehe!" Dong Zhuo sneered.

"Huang Wan, oh Huang Wan, I think you've lost your mind. Now the bandits from the east of the Guandong are threatening, and Chang'an is in the danger of Hangu Pass, which is close to Longyou. Earth, stone and wood can be built in half a day. It doesn't take a month to build a palace. That’s enough. As for the shortage of people, why not move the millions of people in the Guanzhong area of ​​Luoyang?” Dong Zhuo laughed loudly.

"Prime Minister, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money for the people, and the lives of the people will be ruined!" Situ Xun Shuang also stood up to object.

"A mere pariah, if you die, you will die. Compared with the national affairs, what's the big deal? I've decided to move the capital to Chang'an, and I'll discuss it later!" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

Dong Zhuo was furious, and all the officials dared not speak more, so they agreed to move the capital.

Dong Zhuo made a final decision, which could not be changed, and immediately ordered the officials to pack up and prepare to move the capital to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo returned to the prime minister's mansion and discussed with Li Ru that night.

"Wen You, now that the move of the capital has been decided, what should we do?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru.

"In one night, civil and military officials should be able to prepare. I have ordered General Li Cui's [-] soldiers to rush back to Luoyang quietly. Now Luoyang has [-] soldiers, plus other miscellaneous soldiers, there are about [-] people!"

"Tomorrow, father-in-law will lead [-] cavalry and hundreds of civil and military officials, guarded by Marquis Wen, and rush to Chang'an first to prevent any change! I will stay in Luoyang and take care of it!" Li Ru let Dong Zhuo go first for the sake of Dong Zhuo's safety.

"Okay, Wen You, be careful! I'll leave Li Cui and Guo Si under your command!" Dong Zhuo nodded.

Early the next morning, Dong Zhuo led [-] cavalry, civil and military officials, and the emperor Liu Xie's harem women to Chang'an first.

But Dong Zhuo was about to leave, and there were two people blocking Dong Zhuo's carriage, one was Shang Shu Zhou Yu, and the other was Chengmen School Captain Wu Qiong.

"Why did you two stop a certain bike rack?" Dong Zhuo said displeased.

"I heard that the prime minister moved the capital, and the two of us are here to persuade you!" Zhou Yan and Wu Qiong fell to their knees.

Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "At the beginning, it was you two who persuaded me to win over Yuan Shao and Yuan Shuzhi for a long time. I made them officials, but now? They actually rebelled and brought troops to beat me! I think Are you two with us?"

"Come here, these two are Liu Bian, Yuan Shao's spies, pull them down and behead them for public display! Just to make an example to others!" Dong Zhuo's expression turned cold, and he immediately shouted.

"Prime Minister, I don't regret waiting for death, but the matter of moving the capital must never happen, Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, Luoyang is where the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty are located. The ancestral temple and the imperial mausoleum must not be abandoned!"

The two knelt down and kowtowed, and kept admonishing them.

"Why are you still standing there? Kill these two!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand and ordered the Xiliang soldiers beside him.

I saw a group of ministers driving, one person came out quickly and knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw that it was Huang Wan who opposed his moving the capital yesterday!

"Prime Minister, these two people are loyal to the big man, please forgive them!" Huang Wan knelt down and begged for mercy.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened with anger, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, the truth has already been told, they are Liu Bian and Yuan Shao's spies! You are pleading for the two of them, do you mean that you belong to the same party as them?"

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, and dare not betray the slightest bit! It's just that the matter of moving the capital is not advisable, and I am willing to use death as an admonition!" Huang Wan repeatedly kowtowed, blushing his forehead.

"I see that you are clearly part of Liu Bian's party! I think you are old, so I won't kill you now, come on! Delegate Huang Wan to a commoner and confiscate all his family property!" Dong Zhuo said with disgust.

"There are also Yang Biao and Xun Shuang, who are also part of Liu Bian's party. Their family property was confiscated, and they were also demoted to the common people!" Dong Zhuo recalled that Yang Biao and Xun Shuang also spoke together yesterday, but fortunately they were dealt with together.

Yang Biao and Xun Shuang suffered from this unreasonable disaster, but they did not dare to attack, so they had to leave.

Only Huang Wan still knelt down and bowed down to Liu Xie, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, now that a traitor is in power, I can't assist Your Majesty. I have no face to live in the world, so I have to follow the late emperor!"

Seeing Huang Wan scolding him as a treacherous minister, Dong Zhuo was about to explode on the spot, but he saw Huang Wan suddenly stand up and rush towards the carriage, and put his head on the metal-wrapped wooden frame.

Poor Huang Wan, the dignified Taiwei, committed suicide and died for the country.As soon as Huang Wan died, for a while, needles could be heard on the field.All the ministers held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Dong Zhuo would take him under the knife.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you die, if you collude with Liu Bian against the king, that's the end!" Dong Zhuo looked at the bodies of Huang Wan who had committed suicide and the bodies of Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong who had just been executed, and immediately laughed.

"Liu Bian's spies have all been executed. Now, no one opposes me moving the capital to Chang'an, right? If not, then let's go!" Dong Zhuo looked around, all the ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak out.

Seeing that no one dared to stop him, Dong Zhuo dragged his fat body and stepped onto the carriage to Chang'an.
