The corpse was gradually turning cold, and the blood was still warm.
Minister Ding Guan crashed to his head in front of the hall.
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly." You're seeking death just like that? Old thing!"
The young emperor standing in the main hall looked terrified.
After all, he was still a 13-or 14-year-old child. He had never seen such a scene before.
Among the officials, there were those who shook their heads and sighed, those who were indignant, and those who were frightened and panicked.
Wang Yun's face was filled with grief.
If Dong Zhuo didn't follow the rules, he could still tolerate it.
But now, an old official loyal to the Han Dynasty was forced to die in the hall. No matter what, he could not tolerate it.
"Traitor Dong Zhuo, you forced Minister Ding to his death, yet you still dare to taunt him in front of his corpse!”
Dong Zhuo turned around and sneered,"So it was Lord Situ. Ding Guan sought death himself and all the officials saw it with their own eyes. How can you blame me?”
"I haven't pursued him for slandering me in public!”
"Slander?" Wang Yun's expression was serious as he glared at Dong Zhuo." Don't you know what's going on?”
"You heard what His Majesty said just now.”
"What? Is Lord Situ questioning the fairness of His Majesty's decision?”Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes.
"You…You!" Wang Yun was at a loss for words and knelt on the ground." Your Majesty! I have no intention of offending you! Your Majesty, please understand!"
The Emperor's eyes widened and his mouth opened, but he did not say anything.
Dong Zhuo looked proud and mocked,"Lord Situ, disaster comes from your mouth. You have to be careful with your words!”
The ministers all gasped and sighed, thinking that the Imperial Palace would be ruled by Dong alone.
Dong Zhuo's henchmen were overjoyed.
"Ta!"
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly and looked outside the door.
After a while, a soldier appeared outside the main hall with an anxious expression.
"Come in and talk!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand.
The soldier walked straight to his side and said something.
Dong Zhuo's expression turned serious. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Let him in."
"Here!"
The soldier knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and left in a hurry.
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly and sighed. He said to the guards outside,"Clean up this place!"
Then, he returned to his original position.
Wang Yun's eyes flashed." To be able to make that old bastard Dong Zhuo like this…"
"Could it be that person?"
Seeing that even Dong Zhuo had returned to his original position, the ministers were curious.
They didn't know what the soldier said, but they heard Dong Zhuo's words clearly.
Who was it that made Dong Zhuo treat him so seriously?
They were all calculating in their hearts, adjusting their posture and patiently waiting for that person's arrival.
The Emperor was still young and inexperienced, so he had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, he really didn't want to stay here for even a moment, but since Dong Zhuo hadn't left, how could he dare to leave? He could only wait here.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps.
"Report!"
A soldier jogged in and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, General Jiang Chen of the West seeks an audience!”
The Emperor didn't say anything. He stole a glance at Dong Zhuo and waved his hand after getting his approval."Announce!"
Dong Zhuo's face darkened.
Currently, the Imperial Palace was basically under his control, but there were still a small number of forces that were still difficult to control.
Only then did two soldiers come to report the situation.
At this moment, the ministers had already begun to discuss in low voices.
"General of the West, Jiang Chen!"
"I've long heard of his name. I didn't expect him to come!”
"It seems that the soldier who came in to report just now is most likely the same.”
"Isn't he guarding the border of Liangzhou? Why did he suddenly come back?”
"Although this Jiang Chen is young, he's really amazing!”
"Do you still remember what happened back then?"
" Why don't I remember? Jiang Chen beat Dong…as if he was a Yellow Turban soldier…"
"No wonder that Dong…is acting like this. So he's here!”
……
Wang Yun was overjoyed." It's really him. In that case, why should I be afraid of Dong Zhuo?"”
The young emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, even though he didn't know what kind of person this General of the West was.
However, from Dong Zhuo and the ministers 'reactions, he was definitely not an ordinary person, so he was looking forward to it.
In less than ten minutes, a young general in dark silver armor appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The man was more than eight feet tall, wearing a dark silver armor and holding an Overlord Halberd in his hand.
He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his face was well-defined.
His eyes were as bright as meteors, his demeanor was elegant and refined, and there was a hint of dignity in his handsomeness.
Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and his face was filled with caution.
Wang Yun and Yuan Kui both nodded secretly and sighed at the well-deserved reputation.
He had only heard of his name, but today, he was indeed extraordinary.
The officials had already followed Jiang Chen's arrival and were whispering to each other.
"Is this the General of the West?"
"What a good tiger general!"
"What's even more terrifying is that he's only eighteen years old!”
"An 18-year-old Zhonglang General, unbelievable!”
" He seems to be on bad terms with that Dong…There's going to be a good show…"
At this moment, the young general had already walked into the hall. He cupped his fists and bowed."I, General Jiang Chen of the West, pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
The hall immediately fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on the young general.
The Emperor hurriedly said,"Quickly rise!"”
Jiang Chen stood up quietly.
It was majestic and elegant.
He was not angry, but he was dignified and not overbearing.
The ministers all nodded their heads and praised him in their hearts.
Only a small portion of Dong Zhuo's henchmen had unfriendly expressions and fear in their eyes.
Wang Yun's gloominess was swept away and his face was filled with joy.
The Emperor seemed to have noticed the difference and straightened his back slightly.
"Brother, why aren't you guarding the border of the Spiritual State?”Dong Zhuo forced a smile and asked.
"I heard that there is a ferocious wolf in the palace.”Jiang Chen said calmly.
Dong Zhuo stroked his thick beard with one hand and smiled awkwardly."Brother, you must be joking. How can there be wolves in the palace?”
He turned his head and faced the ministers with a sinister look." What do you think?!"”
The ministers all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Although it seemed like Jiang Chen had the upper hand now, Dong Zhuo's reputation in Luoyang was too vicious. They really didn't dare to resist.
Jiang Chen glanced at Dong Zhuo.
In such a short period of time, he was able to control all the officials by himself. Even if he wanted to make trouble, he had no way to do it. He was indeed a character!
"Lord Situ, why are you kneeling on the ground?”Jiang Chen looked at Wang Yun, who was kneeling on the ground.
Wang Yun glanced at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile. "I was accidentally injured by that jackal. Fortunately, I'm fine.”
"That's good." Jiang Chen said.
"Just now, Minister Ding Guan insulted me in public for no reason and disobeyed the emperor's orders. He was so ashamed that he killed himself in front of the palace." Dong Zhuo smiled awkwardly.”
"That's why Lord Situ hates me. This matter was confirmed before, and all the officials saw it with their own eyes. Your Majesty can also testify for me.”
He raised his eyelids and looked at the Emperor with a fake smile.""Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"
The Emperor's eyes evaded his gaze and he said weakly,""Yes, what the Prime Minister said is true.”
Dong Zhuo looked at Jiang Chen and smiled. The fat on his face squeezed his small eyes into a slit.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
It wasn't because the Emperor was weak and incompetent, or timid.
It wasn't because Dong Zhuo hid a knife behind his smile, or because of his hidden nature.
It was because Dong Zhuo's smile looked unnatural and stiff. It was too…ugly…
The others, such as Wang Yun and Yuan Kui, looked disappointed.
Jiang Chen was standing right here, but the Emperor was still afraid of Dong Zhuo's might and dared not speak the truth.
He really did not expect that the great ancestor, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu were all such outstanding heroes.
He was actually such a cowardly person in this generation.
However, this was understandable. Even the vast majority of the officials feared Dong Zhuo's power, let alone the young Emperor.
The rest of the officials shook their heads secretly, lamenting that the Emperor was too weak to be trusted.
Only Dong Zhuo's henchmen regained their arrogance, looking up at the ministers around them.
"I wonder how many you brought this time…"
Jiang Chen interrupted Dong Zhuo just as he was about to ask.
"I have come to the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty. His Majesty has not said a word, but Brother Dong keeps asking.”
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword. He was already furious, but he didn't show it on his face.
The Emperor was stunned for a moment. Although he had just taken office and was still young, he had no idea who Jiang Chen was or what he had done.
However, this Jiang Chen had made Dong Zhuo lose his spirit the moment he appeared. It could be seen how extraordinary he was.
In addition, Jiang Chen was handsome and full of masculinity.
Compared to the bloated, bearded, and brutal Dong Zhuolai, he was much better.
He was so young, yet Dong Zhuo was so afraid of him. If he could stay in the palace all the time, wouldn't that be…
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile faintly.
However, when he saw Dong Zhuo's ashen face, he immediately restrained himself.
"General Xi Zhonglang, you have worked hard along the way. If you have nothing else to do, go and rest first.”
"Here!"
"I will take my leave!"
Jiang Chen cupped his fists and left the hall.
Without waiting for the Emperor to announce his retreat, Dong Zhuo coldly snorted and swept his gaze across the officials before leaving in a hurry.
The other officials also left the hall after the Emperor left.
What happened in the imperial court spread throughout Luoyang at an extremely fast speed.
Dong Zhuo was arrogant and despotic.
How could Ding Guan curse without changing his expression? He was forced to kill himself again.
Wang Yun was indignant and scolded Dong Zhuo.
There was also something that made the Luoyang people most happy. Jiang Chen, the general of the West, had arrived!
His appearance made Dong Zhuo restrain himself and not dare to be impudent.
A person who could control Dong Zhuo had appeared in Luoyang. This was a good thing for the people of Luoyang who had been persecuted by Dong Zhuo for a long time.
