The Eastern Han Imperial Palace was divided into the north and south palaces. The north palace belonged to the sleeping quarters of the emperor's concubines, while the south palace belonged to the place where the emperor went to court and where the ministers worked.
Nangong Chongde Hall belonged to the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
Now, all the officials of the Great Han Dynasty had gathered together, and they were all looking at Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the dragon throne!
"The Emperor is weak. Today, this Prime Minister will imitate Yi Yin and Huo Guang and abolish Prince Chen Liu. You just have to wait and do your part!”
Dong Zhuo didn't ask them, but informed them.
The civil and military officials were angry but did not dare to speak. They subconsciously looked at the Yuan family, Yang family, and other important officials-Grand Tutor Yuan Kui and Grand Marshal Yang Biao.
These two families had four generations and three dukes. They were the leaders of the aristocratic families!
Now, the Yuan Family was even more powerful!
Seeing Grand Tutor Yuan Kui's unmoved expression silently agreeing to Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao couldn't hold it in and directly stepped forward!
It wasn't that Yuan Shao was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but that the Yuan Family had plotted and planned for many years, and was about to complete the " Han Overturn Plan." Now, the Yuan Family's disciple and old official Dong Zhuo had intercepted them halfway and plucked the peaches. This made Yuan Shao unable to tolerate it any longer!
"I'm afraid that most people in the world won't agree with you! The officials of the royal court will not agree with your opinion!”Yuan Shao said coldly.
Dong Zhuo was just an old official of the Yuan Family. He had once relied on the Yuan Family's connections to become a major official of the border. Now, he actually dared to be ungrateful and hit his benefactor. This was an action that could not be tolerated by the world!
In the current Eastern Han, birth status and reputation were extremely important. Dong Zhuo's actions would not win the recognition of the scholars in the world. Even if he won the world, he would not be able to defend it!
Yuan Shao was born into the family of three dukes, and the sense of superiority that he had accumulated over the years made him very disdainful of Dong Zhuo. He looked down on this Western Liang bumpkin from the bottom of his heart!
Dong Zhuo was naturally furious. Everything in the world depends on me! If I want to do it, who dares to disobey? Do you think that I, Dong Zhuo, have failed?”
Yuan Shao held his saber horizontally in front of his chest and said coldly,""Is Dong Gong the only healthy person in the world?"
Yuan Shao didn't scold them, but instead had a look of contempt and disdain. Don't think that you're the only powerful person in this world.
"How dare you!" Dong Zhuo was furious." Where's my son Fengxian?"”
"Your son is here!" Lu Bu stepped forward with a murderous look on his face.
At this moment, all the officials in the court immediately stepped forward to mediate the fight. Dong Zhuo looked at the Yuan Family's power and had no choice but to restrain himself.
Yuan Shao laughed coldly and tactfully turned around to leave. Then, without hesitation, he abandoned his official seal and fled to Bohai Sea in Jizhou.
If it were any other place, he, Yuan Shao, would not have the courage to do so. However, all the civil and military officials in the court were his own people, and they would definitely give him a way out. Only then did he have the courage to go forward and pretend to be stupid.
"Who else is against it?" Dong Zhuo asked angrily. All of you, step forward!"
The entire court was as silent as cicadas in winter!
Cao Cao subconsciously looked at Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, hoping that the representative of the Yuan Family would step forward. However, he realized that Yuan Kui's expression did not change. He looked down and his heart ached!
Looking at Yuan Kui's expression, it was likely that he had already secretly reached some unspeakable deal with Dong Zhuo.
"The Yuan family is all brats! He colluded with the thief Dong and secretly colluded with him!”
Cao Cao felt sorrowful and disdainful. Although Yuan Shao was righteous and awe-inspiring, Cao Cao, who had been playing with him since he was young, knew that Yuan Shao was just acting on impulse. He was angry that Dong Zhuo, a student and old official, had betrayed him.
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui represented the Yuan Family's thoughts. He had acquiesced to Dong Zhuo's demotion, which meant that Dong Zhuo had already settled the aristocratic families.
And Dong Zhuo had invited Cai Yong, the representative of the scholar-bureaucrats, which meant that he could deal with the scholars of the world in the future.
Aristocratic families and scholar-bureaucrats…this power was even stronger than the imperial power!
"Is the Han Dynasty going to fall? I only want to be a general in the west in this life. Is my wish to return the Great Han Dynasty to peace and prosperity going to fail?”
At this time, Cao Cao was even more loyal to his country than Yuan Shao and Yuan Family!
"Since no one objects, then this matter is settled! The abdication ceremony would be held in two hours!”Dong Zhuo said coldly.
In fact, he had already driven away the opponents and imprisoned them. The Yuan family, Yang family, and other aristocratic families had also exchanged benefits.
Today, Yuan Shao was just a variable, and it was also an eyesore that the Yuan family gave Dong Zhuo. He didn't care about being angry.
However, at this moment, a familiar but cold voice sounded."Forcing me to abdicate? Have you asked Zhen?"
Boom!
Like a clap of thunder, all the officials in the court were in an uproar. Even Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, who had always been calm and composed, had an ugly expression on his face.
Even though this group of old foxes were secretly exchanging benefits and treated Emperor Han as a bargaining chip. However, they still needed to maintain their appearances.
Looking at Liu Bian, who was surrounded by eunuchs, they were speechless and ashamed.
"Your Majesty!"
"We are useless!"
Many of the ministers started wailing.
Some were truly loyal but unable to resist, some were old foxes with amazing shadow skills, and some were ashamed to see Liu Bian and could only cover it up by crying.
Life was full of changes!
Liu Bian's expression didn't change at all. In his previous life, he was used to the fickleness of the world and the viciousness of the human heart.
Looking at the court officials, Liu Bian said coldly,"
"All the civil and military officials in the court have taken the king's salary and shared the king's worries. Now, they are bargaining in the court like businessmen, and their target is still me!
"You guys usually boast that you're studying the books of the sages and loyal to the country, but in my opinion, you're full of moral articles and secretly stealing men and women. How hypocritical!"
The faces of the nobles turned red. Even if it was fake, they couldn't refute it. And the truth was, all of this was true!
The exchange of benefits between the aristocratic families and Dong Zhuo was clearly made with Liu Bian as a bargaining chip!
However, even though the emperor took turns to do it, their aristocratic families were still eternal!
This was the reason why they could treat the imperial power as a plaything!
