Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Rong, and the others had just stepped into Chongde Hall. When they saw the trembling officials kneeling on the ground, their eyes were filled with surprise!
In the past, these civil and military officials relied on their aristocratic family connections to entangle themselves. It could be said that they had usurped the imperial power and had the momentum to compete with the imperial power.
However, their current attitude was so fearful that it was as if the imperial power could destroy them at any time!
In the next second, when the three generals saw the soldiers of the Western Liang Army lying on the ground and the pale Lu Bu, their pupils constricted!
This was the number one valiant general in the world!
Now, he looked like he was seriously injured. His Majesty actually had such a peerless expert in his hands? It could actually injure Lu Bu?
When they looked forward and saw Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and the other leaders of the Western Liang army kneeling on the ground like cattle waiting to be slaughtered, they were shocked!
This ambitious man who led 200,000 Western Liang cavalry, dominated the capital, intimidated the courtiers, and even bullied the Emperor was now as old as an 80-year-old man, no longer as glorious as before!
The Dong Zhuo Rebellion, which had shaken the world, had finally come to an end!
The three generals were shocked!
They had racked their brains, but in the end, they were still unable to resolve the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. His Majesty easily resolved it with a snap of his fingers!
This was a true lord!
The three generals tidied up their clothes and were about to go forward to pay their respects when they suddenly saw the corpse at the bottom of the steps.
With that one look, it immediately made them turn pale with fright. Their entire bodies trembled, and they somewhat lost their composure!
"Grand, Grand Tutor!"
"Yuan Kui?"
" How is this possible?!"
The three generals were shocked and exclaimed.
What did Yuan Kui represent?
Although the Grand Tutor was a high duke above the three dukes, the one who truly represented Yuan Kui was the current head of the Yuan Family, the fourth generation of the three dukes!
As for the Yuan family, they were the leaders of the aristocratic families and the representatives of the aristocratic families!
All the aristocratic families in the world followed the Yuan Family's lead. This power was something that even the imperial power and His Majesty had to fear!
And now, Yuan Kui's corpse had actually been dismembered and died in the Imperial Court?!
Could it be that His Majesty was accidentally killed by the soldiers of the Western Liang Army when he fought Dong Zhuo just now?!
Their hearts were filled with excitement as they let their imaginations run wild!
Xun You and the others behind him were also dumbfounded!
Xun You subconsciously looked at Xun Yu, who was kneeling down below. Although there was a difference in seniority between the uncle and nephew, they were close in age. They talked about everything and were considered best friends!
Xun You asked with his eyes,"Did the Xiliang army kill Yuan Kui by mistake?"
Xun Yu's face was solemn as he shook his head at him!
This caused Xun You's entire body to tremble. He, who had originally lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the Emperor, actually lost his composure and looked up!
Liu Bian, who was sitting on the throne, still looked the same. However, Xun You could clearly feel that this was a completely different person from the Liu Bian of the past!
This was the difference in aura!
This was the difference in temperament!
Xun You was shocked that Liu Bian had ordered Yuan Kui to be killed! Following that, his body and mind trembled. It was an excited tremble!
"This is what a hero should be like! The Yuan family relied on the representatives of the aristocratic families to bully the Emperor, trying to compete with the Emperor. Even Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital and the death of the Great General had the backing of the Yuan Family.”
The once weak, cowardly, and cowardly Liu Bian, who even needed Empress Dowager He's approval to give orders, was someone that Xun You looked down on from the bottom of his heart!
However, they had to obey the monarch, his subjects, and his son. They could not be without a monarch and father. That kind of unwilling obedience did not have much loyalty!
However, things were different now. Xun You, a top-notch strategist, could see the domineering aura of talent from Liu Bian! He saw the possibility of the Great Han Dynasty reviving and reviving the great cause of Guangzu!
"This is the Emperor worthy of my loyalty!”Xun You was overjoyed.
Xun Yu, who was lying on the ground, saw Xun You's attitude. He was a good friend who had been familiar with him since he was young and had long talked with him. Naturally, he knew him well!
However, Xun Yu thought further. Because he was the one in charge and had personally experienced the massacre just now, Xun Yu understood that the Emperor was probably extremely disappointed in the aristocratic families. He was afraid that he would attack like lightning!
The Xun Family was also one of the aristocratic families!
Xun Yu was wavering between his family and the country. This was where he was hesitant and worried about his gains and losses. It was also his only weakness!
All the officials in the court had different thoughts. Many of them were whispering to each other. The reason why they were so brave was because they could feel the heavy aura that was like the arrival of a storm. After Lu Zhi and the others entered the hall, it dissipated into thin air!
When His Majesty saw Lu Zhi and the others, his monstrous anger actually dissipated!!!
This made the officials who were lying on the ground feel a little jealous and envious, but at the same time, they also felt a little puzzled. Therefore, they whispered to each other and secretly observed!
In reality, the reason Liu Bian restrained his anger was because he saw the loyalty of these officials.
Lu Zhi…Loyalty: 100!
Huangfu Song…Loyalty 100!
Zhu Xi…Loyalty: 100!
Xun You... Loyalty 95 (Worship towards host increasing by 96, 97... 99, 100!)）
Wu Qiong…Loyalty 97!
……
These officials who were wrongly imprisoned by Dong Zhuo and refused to submit to Dong Zhuo's deposed and established officials were indeed loyal to the country!
Some of them might not be as resourceful, capable of internal affairs, and capable of commanding as the officials in the court, but in Liu Bian's eyes, these were the officials he wanted!
Loyalty!
This was the most important thing for an emperor!
Liu Bian's voice was loud and clear, shaking the surroundings. It was like the evening drum and the morning bell. It actually entered everyone's ears and made everyone solemn!
"Raise your heads!"
None of the officials on the ground dared to disobey him, but they didn't understand what Liu Bianyi meant.
"Look at General Lu Zhi, look at General Huangfu Song, look at General Zhu Xi, look at those blood-stained officials in prison uniforms!”
Liu Bian stood up and pointed at the court officials. He said coldly,""Look at you guys! They are all dressed up, but in my opinion, they are just a group of beasts in human clothes!”
The faces of all the officials and ministers turned red. They wanted to refute and write a moral essay. However, when they saw Yuan Kui's corpse, they tactfully shut up!
If it was in the past, these aristocratic families would definitely join forces to refute the Emperor. Their strength was enough to usurp the imperial power!
But now, they didn't dare to!
Because Liu Bian had their lives in his hands!
"Dong Zhuo led his troops into the capital without any notice and then dominated the capital. He caused chaos in the court and arbitrarily abolished the throne.”
Liu Bian's cold voice rang out, causing all the officials to tremble. Even though it was Dong Zhuo's sentence, they knew that the butcher's knife was about to land on them.
Dong Zhuo, who was involved, fainted from fright.
Li Ru was still struggling on the verge of death."Li Jue and Guo Si, hurry up and save him! Where were the 200,000 Western Liang cavalry?! Our life and death are all in your hands!”
"The Xi Liang army helped King Zhou commit crimes, plundered the people, extorted money, and plundered women. They treated the Han laws as nothing, beheaded the generals, and sent the soldiers to the border to do hard labor!”
"Grand Tutor Yuan Kui ignored the fate of the country and agreed with Dong Zhuo's decision to abolish the throne. He helped the tyrant to do evil. He has no ruler, no father, no virtue, and he has been removed from all positions. Within three generations of the Yuan family, anyone who held any position would be dismissed and investigated.”
Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Rong subconsciously looked at each other, their faces filled with shock!
Because according to His Majesty's plan, Yuan Kui would probably die in His Majesty's hands, right?
Otherwise, it would not be a dismissal and investigation, but a commendation for Yuan Kui to sacrifice his life for the country! At least leave him some dignity and a name behind! But none of them!
However, if the Emperor were to act against the Yuan Family, the representative of the aristocratic families, and all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the aristocratic families who were deeply intertwined with the Yuan Family, would they agree?
