"Haha! Since ancient times, the capable should occupy the throne. Since the emperor could not govern the country diligently, then the wise should naturally occupy it.”Although Fatty Dong had come to depose the Emperor, he was still worried about how to speak. Hearing Liu Bian's words, he was given the chance to speak, and he was naturally overjoyed. Li Ru, who had come with Dong Zhuo, saw Liu Bian's expression and couldn't help but frown. From the looks of it, the little Emperor clearly knew that he was in danger, so why was he still so calm?
"Could it be an ambush?" Li Ruyi was shocked and quickly looked around. There was an ambush there. Liu Bian was not afraid because he was going to escape Luoyang in the future. He naturally did not fear Dong Zhuo. He was now an Emperor who was no longer in power, so there was no ambush. However, a smart person like Li Ru was more likely to think too much. He did not expect that Liu Bian's confidence came from the system.
If Liu Bian hadn't set up an ambush in the throne room, how could he be so calm? Dong Zhuo didn't dare to kill Liu Bian in the court, but Liu Bian, as the Emperor, didn't mind killing Dong Zhuo in the court. However, he soon relaxed. Even if the little Emperor wasn't afraid of Dong Zhuo, he would be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves of Liangzhou. He wouldn't dare to be so bold, but this made Li Ru wonder what made the little Emperor so bold.
"Emperor Dong Zhuo is virtuous and kind…How dare you…" The person who spoke was none other than Ding Guan. Liu Bian's performance in the past few days was obvious to all. Now that Dong Zhuo had said such disgraceful words, he could not help but speak. "Lord Ding! Since Minister Dong is so concerned about the Han Dynasty, why not listen to what he has to say.”
"This is…Yes!" Ding Guan wanted to say something when he heard that, but when he met Liu Bian's gaze, he quickly returned to his seat. At this moment, Liu Bian looked at Fatty Dong and smiled. "Dong Xiangguo is loyal and patriotic, and he cares so much about the Han Dynasty. Since he said this, there must be someone more suitable than me to be the Emperor.”
"Humph! I have a memorial. The current emperor is weak and unable to take on great responsibilities. Today, the prime minister will abolish the position of the young emperor! King Chen Liu was wise and measured, and his power was really long. He should be a wise monarch.”Dong Zhuo had no scruples. All the ministers were present, but he was not afraid to say such disgraceful words. Liu Bian sneered and stretched out his hand. "Minister Dong, are you saying that you want to cripple me? Hahahaha! Good... Hand it over!"
"What?" Dong Zhuo didn't know what Liu Bian was trying to do, nor did he know what Liu Bian was trying to do. Liu Bian coldly looked at Dong Zhuo and said. "What is it? Since ancient times, the king must have committed an unforgivable crime to depose the emperor. Since I ascended the throne, I dare not say that the country's fate is prosperous. I ask myself, I have not committed any crimes. I wonder what crime Minister Dong has committed to depose me?”
"This…"
"That's right, deposing the emperor is against the rules of the court. The emperor's dignity is measured. In time, he will definitely be a wise ruler.”The one who spoke was the old general Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi was an elder of the three dynasties and had great prestige in the court. He was also one of the people who changed Liu Bian's opinion when he was carrying out his mission. When Lu Zhi spoke, many loyal officials of the Great Han Dynasty responded. Dong Zhuo was speechless for a moment.
"Humph! In ancient times, Huo Guang deposed the King of Changyi and had to list more than 3,000 crimes. I am not the King of Changyi, and Minister Dong cannot be Huo Guang!”Liu Bian slapped his dragon throne and angrily reprimanded him. His words were reasonable and well-founded, but they did not allow others to refute them. Even Li Ru could not help but be shocked. This timid little Emperor actually used an ancient case to refute Dong Zhuo. But at this moment, Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Bian didn't know how to appreciate favors and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"The Son of Heaven has lost his virtue. This Prime Minister is only setting up a new ruler so that my Great Han can rest easy!”Dong Zhuo didn't care about anything else and was determined to depose the emperor. Even if the officials opposed, he had immense power and no one could stop him. Liu Bian sneered. "Oh? Does this mean that Minister Dong thinks that the younger brother is more suitable to be the emperor?”
"Not bad!" Dong Zhuo didn't have any qualms, but Liu Bian was looking at Liu Xie. Liu Xie was only seven or eight years old, and his face was still young. When Liu Bian looked at him, he subconsciously lowered his head, but Liu Bian didn't back down. At the same time, his expression turned serious and he activated the Royal Heavenly Protection. In an instant, the Ancestral Emperor Qi enveloped his body as he coldly spoke. "Royal brother! Do you want to be the emperor?"
"I... I... I... No, no, no. No, I won't!" The Royal Heavenly Protection was extremely powerful. All the officials in the court felt a deep pressure, including Dong Zhuo. Liu Xie was only a seven or eight-year-old child, and he was targeted by Liu Bian. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he sat down on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Bian looked at him coldly. "Minister Dong, is this what you call a virtuous and wise ruler?”
"My emperor is virtuous and wise. He is the true dragon and son of heaven. Long live my emperor!”The ministers immediately knelt down. In the entire hall, only Dong Zhuo and his trusted aides were still standing. The ministers all prostrated themselves on the ground. Liu Bian sat upright on the rope and spoke expressionlessly. "How is it? If Minister Dong has nothing else to do, you can leave the court today! Zhen is tired!"
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo flicked his sleeves and left. A few trusted aides left with Liu Xie. The morning court session also ended. Liu Bian left the court and immediately went to his own palace. At this moment, Dong Zhuo left the court in a rage. "Humph! Liu Bian, how dare you bully me like this!!”
"Father-in-law, this Liu Bian kid has already won the hearts of the people. If he continues to develop, it will definitely be detrimental to father-in-law.。。”At this moment, Li Ru spoke. There was a trace of viciousness in his words as he made a gesture of wiping his neck. Dong Zhuo thought so too. "You are right, son-in-law. However, that Liu Bian is now popular with the people. If I kill him, I'm afraid the officials in the court will not be convinced.”
"Father-in-law naturally can't come openly. He only needs to send someone to bestow the poisoned wine without anyone knowing. Then, he can say that the Young Emperor has died from a strange illness and help Prince Chen Liu ascend the throne!”Li Ru's eyes were filled with viciousness. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. "Hahaha! Good, good plan! Your wise son-in-law is intelligent. When Prince Chen Liu is registered, he will definitely be rewarded. Hahaha!! Men! Bring Chen Zhong, the head eunuch of the internal affairs, over with me.”
