Chapter 117

While walking, I suddenly saw flags covering the sun and dust covering the sky. A soldier and horse arrived. All officials were disgraced, and Liu Bian in the car was also shocked. Liu Xie was so scared that he hid directly in the arms of his brother Liu Bian. The two brothers hugged each other.

"Who is ahead?" Yuan Shao rode out.

"Where is the emperor?" A general flew out from the shadow of the embroidered flag.

"Who are you?" Yuan Shao asked.

"I am Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang!" said the general.

Sure enough! Zhao Feng looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile, and saw that this man was majestic, with a fat face and a slightly fat figure. He could not tell his height when riding on the horse.

"What are you here?" Cao Cao said, "Please protect or rob?"

"Of course I'm here to protect you by orders!" Dong Zhuo bowed his hand and replied.

"Since you are the guardian, then, the emperor is here, why don't you get off the horse and pay homage?" Cao Cao said.

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was shocked and quickly dismounted and bowed to the left, saying, "My minister, Dong Zhuo, come to see Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Liu Bian plucked up his courage and spoke, "Let's go back to the palace!"

Hearing this, the army set off again. Dong Zhuo stood up, looked at Zhao Feng's army behind everyone, looked at the carriage, his eyes flashed, nodded thoughtfully, and then got on the horse and led the army to protect the officials.

That night, the group returned to the palace. After Liu Bian saw his mother, Empress Dowager He, the mother and son hugged each other and cried together.

"Child, are you okay?" Empress Dowager He checked Liu Bian up and down.

"Don't worry, the mother, the child is fine." Liu Bin said.

"It's getting late, let's retreat." Empress Dowager He returned to her previous expression.

"Yes, I will leave." All officials withdrew from the palace one after another.

"Bian'er, do you carry the imperial seal on you?" Everyone left, and Empress Dowager He whispered to Liu Bian.

"No, I haven't seen the imperial seal before!" Liu Bin shook his head.

"I'm so obedient. Today, I searched for it for most of the day, but I still couldn't see the jade seal. Have you seen your father before where did you put it?" said Empress Dowager He.

"I don't know this kid." Liu Bian shook his head.

"Hey, forget it, I hope you won't make any mistakes in inheriting the throne." Empress Dowager He sighed.

That night, Dong Zhuo stationed outside the city and only brought his armored horses into the city. Zhao Feng lived directly outside the city and did not even enter the city.

In the next few days, Zhao Feng received an order from Liu Bian and went to the palace to explain various problems he didn't understand. Although he was helpless, Zhao Feng still entered Luoyang City. No matter what, it was necessary to establish a good relationship with the emperor, even if the emperor was about to be abandoned.

Dong Zhuo led his iron-armored horses every day and ran rampant in the city. The people were disgusted and afraid, but they dared not speak out.

Bao Xin, the captain of the Later Army, saw that Dong Zhuo was like this, came to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, then Dong Zhuo must have a different intention, so he must get rid of it quickly!"

Yuan Shao thought for a while and shook his head and said, "The court has made a new decision, so don't act rashly!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao disagreed, Bao Xin came to find Wang Yun again and said the same thing. However, Wang Yun waved his hand, "This matter is of great importance, so let me ask someone to discuss it."

"Oh!" Bao Xin sighed, leading his troops to leave Luoyang and defect to Mount Tai.

In recent days, Dong Zhuo has recovered all the troops of He Jin's brothers and subordinates and controlled them. After doing all this, Dong Zhuo found his son-in-law Li Ru: "Wenyou, I want to abolish the current emperor Liu Bian and make Chenliu King Liu Xie the emperor. What do you think?"

"Okay, now the court has no master, so it should be implemented as soon as possible. If it is late, there will be changes!" Li Ru nodded.

"Okay, tomorrow over there!" Dong Zhuo nodded.

"The father-in-law can do this. Tomorrow, he will invite all ministers to drink and discuss matters. Then he will talk about the deregulation and establishment. If anyone refuses to follow, he will behead him to serve as a warning to others!" Li Ru said sinisterly.

"Good! So, Wenyou helped me write an invitation and invite all officials to come and drink!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

Sure enough, the next day, all the officials received an invitation from Dong Zhuo. Nowadays, all the officials except Zhao Feng are afraid of Dong Zhuo. Who dares not to go?

That night, Dong Zhuo held a big banquet. After all the officials arrived, Dong Zhuo entered the banquet with his sword!

After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo ordered the drink to stop the fun and said sternly: "I have one thing, please listen quietly!"

Everyone listened with their ears and did not dare to go against Dong Zhuo's wishes.

Dong Zhuo said: "I accidentally received the emperor's will, the day before yesterday, and ordered the second prince, Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, to be the emperor. Moreover, I see that Your Majesty is not doing his job properly and is cowardly and incompetent. I want to follow the intention of the late emperor, abolish Your Majesty now, and then make the second prince Liu Xie the emperor! What do you think?"

"No!" A man pushed the desk out, stood in front of the banquet, shouting no.

"Why not?" Dong Zhuo saw that this person was Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo glared at him.

"Hmph! The emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor. He has no fault at first, so why should he make a false abolition? Do you want to usurpate the rebellion? Since ancient times, there has never been any saying that the eldest son will be abolished. How dare you talk about the abolishment of the old man?" Ding Yuan said angrily.

"Haha!" Dong Zhuo laughed instead of anger, pulled out his sword and slashed it on the table in front of him. The table was instantly split in half, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish! Hahaha!" Then, Dong Zhuo held the sword and wanted to kill Ding Yuan.

At this time, Li Ru saw a man standing behind Ding Yuan, stretching nearly nine feet long, and was born with a majestic weapon and majestic style. He held the Fangtian Painted Ridge in his hand. He stood there like a god of war, glaring at Dong Zhuo.

Seeing this, Li Ru quickly interrupted Dong Zhuo: "At the banquet today, we will talk about the wind and the moon, not the state affairs! It is not too late for you to say more in the court in the future!"

"Hmph! Let you go today!" Dong Zhuo knew that Li Ru said this, and must have his intention, so he put away his sword and sat down to drink.

On the other hand, Ding Yuan looked at Dong Zhuo: "I will let you go today, Fengxian, let's go!" After that, he led the general behind him on his horse and left.

With the little episode just now, the banquet ended quickly. After the banquet was dispersed, all the officials went there.

"Wenyou, why did you stop me from killing that old man Ding Yuan just now?" After everyone left, Dong Zhuo asked inexplicably. Dong Zhuo was about to curse in his heart. It was you who asked me to kill someone to establish his authority, but now you suddenly don't let him kill him. Are you playing with me?

"Did you know what the general behind Ding Yuan is called?" Li Ru asked.

"I remembered that when you said this, that man was really majestic and a general!" Dong Zhuo recalled.

"This person's name is Lu Bu, and he is Ding Yuan's adopted son. It is said that Lu Bu is extremely brave. In the battle against the Qiang tribe, he killed countless enemies and was called a flying general. He is comparable to General Li Guang at that time!" Li Ru explained.

"If Lu Bu was really so brave, wouldn't we not be able to kill Ding Yuan and do things that would be deposed?" Dong Zhuo said.

"Don't be anxious, father-in-law, I think Ding Yuan will lead the troops to fight tomorrow. Let me observe and see if Lu Bu has any weaknesses. We can seize his weaknesses and defeat Ding Yuan in one fell swoop!" Li Ru's tone was quite ruthless.
