How dare you disobey my orders!”
As expected, Dong Zhuo was furious as he roared.
"Prime minister, please tell us which emperor we want to worship?”Ding Guan and Yuan Kui seemed to have already disregarded life and death. Ignoring Dong Zhuo's murderous gaze, their expressions were firm and their words were strangely unified as they asked again.
Ding Guan naturally didn't say anything. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty. When Dong Zhuo threatened to abolish the emperor, he opposed it with all his might. In the end, he died a tragic death.
Yuan Kui was the Grand Commandant of the court and was one of the three dukes. His power covered the world. Naturally, he was able to achieve this position not only because he was a disciple of the Yuan family and had received the help of his ancestors, but also because of his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
Initially, he had turned a blind eye to Dong Zhuo's deposed position because Liu Bian's courage and boldness were indeed not suitable for him to be the Great Han Empire's Emperor. He might as well help Liu Xie ascend to the throne. With Liu Xie's intelligence, it would not be too difficult to overthrow Dong Zhuo with his help in the dark.
But now, when he saw Liu Bian's emperor aura, Yuan Kui realized that he was mistaken. Liu Bian had always been hiding his strength, and he had only shown it now.
Therefore, Yuan Kui changed his original intention. Even if he had to risk his old life, he had to protect Liu Bian's dignity as the emperor.
"Prime Minister, please tell me!" The ministers echoed once again.
"You! You!" Dong Zhuo angrily pointed at the ministers. His face was extremely gloomy, and his ugly face was full of killing intent.
"Men, bring this group of rebels to this prime minister!"
But before he could finish, Li Ru jumped to Dong Zhuo's side in fright and pulled him back. He whispered,"Father-in-law, for the sake of your future plans, you must not be angry now.”
" Even though this group of rebels is detestable, they're still the pillars of the Great Han Empire. If we kill them all, the Great Han Empire will immediately fall apart and fall into chaos among the vassals. This is especially true for Yuan Kui. He's the Duke of the Great Han Dynasty for four generations and has disciples all over the Great Han Dynasty. If we touch him, father-in-law will be in danger of being surrounded by heroes.”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was also shocked. He looked a little anxious and immediately suppressed the anger in his heart. He asked in a low voice,"Son-in-law, what should we do now?”
"Father-in-law, this matter is simple. Didn't these rebels say that there can only be one Emperor in the Great Han Empire and that they only acknowledge this useless Emperor as the Emperor?”
"Our initial goal was to make this useless Emperor abdicate. Hmph, hmph, if the Emperor they approve of abdicates personally, then these officials wouldn't have anything to say, right?”Li Ru laughed sinisterly and said.
Dong Zhuo's face instantly brightened up, and his tensed up face also recovered slightly.
"Your Majesty, come up on stage. Last time, you said that you lacked courage and virtue, and wanted to give up your position to King Hongnong.”
Dong Zhuo suddenly changed his previous bossy attitude. He bent down and cupped his fists, pretending to be respectful as he spoke to Liu Bian.
Liu Bian glanced at Dong Zhuo but didn't say anything. He just walked towards the platform where the dragon throne was. After a while, he arrived in front of Dong Zhuo. He turned around and looked down at the hundreds of ministers.
"Your Majesty, you must not disappoint this old minister, the ministers, and the Great Han!”Looking at Liu Bian's imposing body, Ding Guan and Yuan Kui's expressions did not change, but their hearts were tightly tangled together.
