Chapter 149 Dong Zhuo Enters Beijing

Thank you to the book friend Leng Dibing, thank you for your reward!—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After these refugees entered Youzhou, they were not left in the Great Wall Pass, and were all arranged in an orderly manner to western and Liaodong outside the Great Wall Pass, and were submerged between the vast white mountains and black waters.

Most of the wealthy families from Central Plains and Luoyang entered Youzhou from Jizhou. These people were not allowed to enter outside the pass, and at the same time, they were unwilling to go outside the pass, and basically settled in the pass.

The wealthy big family rushed to buy the mansions built by Liu Zhan in Beidaihe. These houses were very high-end mansions, and basically they were built in advance by Liu Zhan himself.

Small households with little money bought old houses in other places in Youzhou. These houses were mainly the industries that were collected from Youzhou Prefecture during the eradication of the Wuhuan people in the past few years and belonged to Youzhou Finance.

The situation in Luoyang is getting tense, and the wealthy families in Luoyang are increasingly convinced of the contents of the nursery rhymes. People keep starting to flee their families and rush to Youzhou to take refuge.

The departure of these people has affected other people, and more and more people are fleeing abroad in Luoyang.

Liu Zhan has been very happy recently. He counted the money and had cramps in his hands. He sold the houses in Beidaihe as much as they were released. This guy deserves the potential of a profiteer, and he put them out in a plan.

It was obviously a house that had been built, but it was fenced up. It claimed that it had not been built yet, which always made the house shortage, causing prices to continue to rise.

All wealthy people who come to Youzhou know that the merchants in Youzhou do not accept copper coins, only gold. The matter started when selling wine in Luoyang, so before coming, they exchanged all the copper coins for gold.

Besides, the journey is long and it is very convenient to carry gold.

In this way, Youzhou became a place to attract money, and the gold of the Han Dynasty further flowed to Youzhou, and most of it flowed into Liu Zhan's pocket.

So, this guy was in a very good mood during this period.

So far, in the Han Dynasty, who has the most gold? It is undoubtedly Liu Zhan, the guy. From selling wine, gradually developing into various industries, there are unprecedented scarcity, and it would be strange if you don’t make a fortune.

At the same time, the situation in Luoyang took a sharp turn for the worse.

The chaos began in April. Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was only 34 years old, could not afford to get sick, and the issue of inheritance of the throne could not be established. Liu Hong was hesitant between establishing Liu Bian and Liu Xie, but he was inclined to Liu Xie in his heart. He died after he entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo.

In order to compete for great power in the court, General He Jin killed Jian Shuo and made Liu Bian the emperor, and the conflict with the group of ten eunuchs became increasingly fierce.

He Jin wanted to kill the ten regular attendants, but he had no choice but to do anything because the empress dowager refused.

Yuan Shao proposed: "Heroes from all over the world can be summoned to the capital to kill all the eunuchs. At this time, the matter is urgent and the empress dowager cannot refuse to obey."

"This plan is wonderful."

He Jin issued a proclamation to various places and summoned troops into the capital.

However, the former general, Aoxiang Hou and Xiliang governor Dong Zhuo, had previously failed to defeat the Yellow Turban, and the court wanted to punish him, so he was spared by bribing the ten regular attendants. Later, he made friends with prominent officials in the court, obtained high-ranking officials, and commanded the Xizhou army of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and often had the intention of being disobedient.

After Dong Zhuo received the imperial edict, he was overjoyed, lit up his military horses, and then went one after another.

Dong Zhuo asked his son-in-law General Niu Fu to defend Shaanxi, but he led Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others to advance towards Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and counselor Li Ru advised: "Although we are summoned today, there is so much ignorance in the middle. Why not send someone to express his reputation and make a big deal?"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and adopted his suggestion and listed:

I personally heard that the world's chaos and rebellion were all caused by the Huangmen Changshang and others insulting Tianchang. I heard that Yang Tang was better than to stop boiling. Although the carbuncle was painful, it was better to nourish the poison. I dared to ring the bell and drums into Luoyang to eliminate the country and others. The country is very lucky! The world is very lucky!

He Jin received Dong Zhuo's submission and went to the ministers to challenge the ministers. The Censor Zheng Tai questioned: "Dong Zhuo's jackals, if they introduce them to the capital, they will definitely be able to eat people."

He Jin said disdainfully: "You are too suspicious and not enough to plan a big deal."

Many people advised He Jin but refused to listen. Zheng Tai and others abandoned their official positions and left. Most of the ministers in the court left.

He Jin sent someone to the rope pool to welcome Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo held his troops unmoved.

Zhang Rang and others learned that the foreign soldiers had arrived, so they gathered together to discuss: "What kind of plan is this? If we don't start first, we will destroy the clan."

In August of the sixth year of Zhongping, ten eunuchs led by Zhang Rang falsely passed on the will of Empress Dowager He and tricked He Jin into the palace and killed him.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were captains of the Central Army, led their troops to surround the palace and killed the eunuchs when they saw it. Zhang Rang then kidnapped the queen mother, and the young emperor and the king of Chenliu fled. Because they were too busy to take care of themselves, they threw the queen mother and her entourage away halfway, fled in a panic, and were chased by the pursuers and were desperate and jumped into the river to commit suicide.

During the melee, two thousand eunuchs died.

Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao and others found Shao Emperor and Chenliu King among the chaos.

On the way back to the city, smoke and dust rolled, horse hooves burst into waves, and a large army rushed towards the capital. A domineering man under the military flag blocked the way: "Where is the emperor?"

The young emperor was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. The nine-year-old Chenliu Wang asked, "Who are you? Are you protecting or robbing?"

"Dong Zhuote, the governor of Liangzhou, came to protect the emperor."

"Since that's the case, why don't you pay homage to the Emperor!"

Dong Zhuo dismounted and kowtowed, and returned to the city together.

Dong Zhuo thought he was in control of the army and had made contributions to protecting the emperor. When he arrived in the capital, he ran away from Yuan Shao. He abolished the Shao Emperor and changed King Chenliu to Emperor Xian. Dong Zhuo served as the Grand Marshal and the Prime Minister, and all the military and political powers were in his hands.

Soon, Dong Zhuo ordered Empress Dowager He, the Shao Emperor and his concubine to be executed in the palace.

Since then, Dong Zhuo was in power, and was rampant and slept on the dragon bed. The concubines were as good as the emperor. The civil and military officials in the court saw that Dong Zhuo deceived the king and was domineering and arrogant, debauchery, and shameless, and hated him very much, but he could do nothing about it.

There is also a passionate lieutenant Wu Fu, a Yueqi cavalry captain, who was very angry when he saw Dong Zhuo as cruel and autocratic. He hid a dagger on his body, trying to find an opportunity to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

One day, he arrived at the court first. When he saw Dong Zhuo coming, he greeted him and took out a short knife and stabbed him at Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was very strong and reached out to grab his wrist. Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lu Bu rushed out next to him and knocked him to the ground.

Dong Zhuo was furious and asked someone to push him out and break his stomach.

There is also a famous figure, Cao Cao, who also participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo. This guy was preparing to kill Dong Zhuo with the reason of offering a treasure knife, but in the end, he ended in failure.

Fortunately, Cao Cao reacted alertly and escaped from the city as soon as possible, but was not caught by Dong Zhuo.
