Chapter 1434 Old Dong, you are gone
The process of setting up a new emperor is also very simple.
It's even simpler than everyone imagined.
Controlling the central government and controlling the military power of the Luoyang Weiwu army is extremely important. Dong Zhuo made specific arrangements and sent his confidant general Lu Bu to kill Zhijinwu and take over all the defense troops in the capital.From then on, Dong Zhuo not only controlled a large number of conventional troops, but also controlled the troops directly under Luoyang, fully possessing the military foundation to control the government.
This added a considerable amount of leverage to further expand his ambitions.
With a strong military backing, Dong Zhuo is confident and can do whatever he wants.First of all, he forced the court to remove Sikong Liu Hong from his post and replace him himself.
Then, in order to further monopolize the central government, Dong Zhuo decided to convene all civil and military officials to discuss the abolition of the young emperor and the establishment of a new emperor.
At a meeting, Dong Zhuo said brazenly:
"The young emperor is ignorant and cowardly, unable to worship the ancestral temple, and is not qualified to be the monarch of the world. For the sake of the country and the Han Dynasty, I want to follow the story of Yiyin releasing Taijia and Huo Guang abolishing Changyi, abolishing the young emperor, and replacing Chenliu Wang Liu Xie Son of Heaven!"
Most of the officials present were frightened by Dong Zhuo's lustful power, and dared not speak out against his arbitrary and arbitrary behavior.
Only Shangshu Lu Zhi raised objections in person, thinking that Shaodi was just young, and his behavior and character could not be compared with Taijia and Changyi King at all.
Dong Zhuo was furious. He didn't expect Lu Zhi to be so disrespectful and dared to oppose him in public, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to push him out and behead him. Fortunately, his attendant Cai Yong tried his best to dissuade Lu Zhi from death.
Later, Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor Shao and demoted him to King Hongnong; he established Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
After the emperor was abolished, Dong Zhuo disliked the Empress Dowager He, thinking that she would hinder his free movement and establishment of prestige in the court.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo held a meeting of the ministers again, and told the ministers about the so-called crimes of the queen mother, how she forced her mother-in-law, the empress dowager Yongle, so that the empress dowager died of worry.This kind of teaching method that violates the common sense of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and does not respect filial etiquette should be severely punished.After that, Dong Zhuo ordered Empress Dowager He to move to Yong'an Palace. Soon, Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor Liu Bian and poisoned Empress Dowager He.
After re-establishing Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo promoted himself to Taiwei and became one of the three dukes, in charge of the military affairs of the country and the affairs of former generals.
Although Dong Zhuo is known as the prime minister of the country under one person and above ten thousand people, in fact he is far beyond the emperor, and enjoys the privileges of worshiping without being famous, entering the court without going, and walking on the sword.
After he became an official and became a noble, Dong Zhuo also used his privileges to arbitrarily confer titles on members of the Dong family.He first named his mother Chi Yangjun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, whose status was equivalent to that of a royal princess.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as General Zuo, named Yuhou, and also named his young granddaughter Weiyangjun.In order to control the emperor more effectively, Dong Zhuo coerced Emperor Xian to move the capital west from Luoyang to Chang'an despite the objections of his courtiers.
Dong Zhuo also ignored the etiquette and imperial prestige, and built a Wubao in his fief, which was comparable in size to the Chang'an city wall. Salute him respectfully.
The army Dong Zhuo cultivated was fierce and strong, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, but their destructive power was also quite impressive.
After his army entered Luoyang, Luoyang was very rich. This group of soldiers did whatever they wanted in Luoyang. All the princesses were not spared, making every family miserable, but Dong Zhuo was known as winning the hearts of the soldiers.
Dong Zhuo also took advantage of the empress dowager's burial to plunder gold, silver and jewels from the tomb of the first emperor. During the sacrifice, he pretended that he did not send troops on purpose, killed all the men in the audience, and tied their heads to the carriage. All the women there were loaded into carriages, and when they arrived in Luoyang, the soldiers burned the heads of the men, and rewarded the women to the soldiers.
It is also true that Dong Zhuo's troops have always been loyal to Dong Zhuo.
It can be said that as long as Dong Zhuo does not die, it will be difficult for others to truly control the army from Dong Zhuo.
In fact, this is no wonder Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is a warlord, so the warlords naturally have their own ways.His brothers, like himself, really have no resistance to these things, just don't go too far.Upon hearing this order, the soldiers were so happy that they went crazy, they kicked the door of any house and entered, wanting women to have women, wanting treasures to have treasures.
Dong Zhuo is still a very face-saving person. Of course, he can't say that these bandits are condoned by himself. He just said that I am running a movement with a high-sounding name called "Searching for Criminals."
In order to amass huge wealth for himself, Dong Zhuo destroyed a large number of five baht coins in circulation, and ordered all bronze men, bells and horses to be broken and recast into small coins.The shoddy small money is not only lighter than the five baht money, but also has no coat of arms, and the edge of the money has no outline, so it is not resistant to wear and tear.
The circulation of small money directly led to severe inflation: the currency depreciated and prices soared.According to historical records, it cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy a stone valley at that time.
The common people are miserable and their lives are in extreme pain.Dong Zhuo, however, used the money he collected to spend all day singing and dancing, seeking pleasure, and living a licentious life.
It can be said that during this period of time, Dong Zhuo seemed to have done nothing good.
But all the bad things have been done.
Just as Liu Jiangtao was thinking about Dong Zhuo's message, suddenly a chariot stopped beside Liu Jiangtao.
Looking up, I saw a man who looked like a fat pig.
No, to be precise, it should be that two fat pigs tied together, a man who can compete with each other, is looking at Liu Jiangtao with burning eyes.
That kind of vision can even kill Liu Jiangtao.
Nest grass.
Liu Jiangtao became angry on the spot.
Dong Zhuo, are you looking for death?
Are you still looking at me with such disgusting eyes?
At this moment, Liu Jiangtao finally understood why the Empress Nuwa couldn't bear it just because King Zhou wrote an erotic poem in the Nuwa Temple at the beginning of the Conferred God War.
Now, Liu Jiangtao couldn't take it anymore.
Before Liu Jiangtao could speak, Dong Zhuo smiled and said:
"Come here, arrest this adulterous thief in the harem, and the Grand Master will personally interrogate him, hehe."
I'll go to your uncle.
"Dong Zhuo, you fat bastard, bah, you're floating, aren't you?"
Liu Jiangtao cursed directly:
"I don't even piss and take pictures. What kind of virtue do I have, and I look at Lao Tzu with such disgusting eyes. Believe it or not, I will chop up your grandson right now."
