The capital was magnificent, and Luoyang was the capital for two hundred years.
There was no panic in the city or outside.
Perhaps the commoners thought that the alliance army would not be able to break through the Tiger Prison, or perhaps they were not interested in the war in the east.
However, there was a group of people who were all smiles.
Walking on the smooth white marble road, the officials of the Han Dynasty gathered in groups of three to five. The smiles on their faces were as if they had found their long-lost wives.
Especially the person in the lead. His hair and beard were all white, but he was full of energy. His footsteps were firm, and his body looked very strong.
Situ Wang Yun, the head of the civil officials of the Han Dynasty, can be said to have been ordered by heaven in times of danger.
After Dong Zhuo had entered Luoyang, he had shown his greed for power many times.
He killed the Empress Dowager with poison, planted henchmen, cultivated trusted followers, unified military power, and controlled the court.
Even a fool would realize that he would become the biggest threat to the Great Han Dynasty, and he had to take the necessary measures to contain and get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo had a powerful military force and many followers. Moreover, Dong Zhuo was cruel and vicious. If he took the initiative to attack, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
Therefore, Wang Yun seemed to be letting Dong Zhuo do whatever he wanted, even obeying him and letting him relax his guard, but in fact, he was carefully planning and arranging everything.
Sometimes, he even went against his principles to gain Dong Zhuo's trust.
This was indeed effective. Dong Zhuo saw that Wang Yun was not only talented, but also loyal and unwavering. Therefore, he regarded Wang Yun as his confidant and trusted him without any suspicion. No matter how big or small the government was, he entrusted it to Wang Yun.
Finally, Wang Yun saw the light of dawn. The allied forces marched west to kill the traitors.
Although they didn't know the details of the battle, Dong Zhuo had personally led a hundred thousand troops to Tiger Cage Pass. It was obvious that the alliance army was unstoppable. It was only a matter of time before they invaded Luoyang.
Therefore, the officials were overjoyed and wished that the alliance army could charge into the Imperial Capital right now.
"The common people are lucky, the sun and moon are restored.”
"I wanted the imperial family to be covered in dust, and the Great Han Dynasty to be in danger. Now that the Great Han Dynasty will be revived in a few days, even if I close my eyes now, I can rest in peace.”
"That's right, that's right. This good news must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.”
Wang Yun listened to the words of the court officials. Although he did not say anything, he could not close his mouth.
As he spoke, he had already stepped onto the steps and crossed the high threshold of Deyang Hall.
However, just as he took a few steps, the civil servants in the front row, including Wang Yun, suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning and were petrified on the spot.
The young emperor was sitting on the throne, trembling.
There were already many people sitting in the hundreds of seats on both sides, most of them military officials.
The most important thing was that one of them…
Dong Zhuo.
He was wearing armor and holding a saber hilt as he smiled at the court official.
"Wang Situ, I haven't seen you for a few days.”Dong Zhuo smiled and waved at them." Come, come, come. Please take your seats."”
Wang Yun and the officials were livid. The timid ones were already trembling.
The ups and downs of life were too exciting.
How happy he was just now was how scared he was now.
Especially those who spoke loudly outside the hall, afraid that Dong Zhuo would settle the score.
After all the officials sat down with their own thoughts, Yang Yu, who was sitting at the end of the military officers, sighed slightly.
The so-called hegemony was nothing more than this.
When these officials saw Dong Zhuo, they were like mice that had run into a cat.
Of course, this had nothing to do with him. He had to thank Fatty Dong for being able to attend the court meeting.
"I believe everyone has heard of it." Dong Zhuo stood on the high ground and paced back and forth in front of the emperor. He didn't put the imperial family in his eyes at all." The rebel army outside the pass has already reached Tiger Cage Pass.”
"However, there's no need to panic. I've already killed those chickens and dogs, with more than half of them dead or injured.”
"But the rebel army is cunning. There are still some remnants that might invade the capital and plunder His Majesty. As Han officials, we have to be prepared.”
Dong Zhuo chuckled." By the way, there's a nursery rhyme that's really good recently. It says that there's a Han in the east and a Han in the west. If we move the capital to Chang 'an, we won't have to face any trouble.”
"Well said. Luoyang, the eastern capital, has experienced two hundred years and its fate has come to an end. Last night, I was observing the celestial phenomena and saw the emperor's qi falling in Chang 'an.”
"Therefore, I intend to immediately head west and move the capital to Chang 'an. What do you think?”
Yang Yu rolled his eyes.
What do you know about night observation?
The Ziwei Star was almost out of sight, so how could he go west to Chang 'an?
However, the court officials did not care about astronomical phenomena.
Move the capital!
This was a major event that could change the fate of a country, and they could not act rashly unless it was a critical moment.
Moreover, the Guandong coalition army was about to attack. If they brought the emperor to move the capital to Chang 'an, how could they punish the country's thieves and revive the Han Dynasty?
Most importantly, many officials had long taken root in Luoyang, and their property was all in the capital. If they left, their residences and properties would not leave. Moreover, everyone was moving away, so who would spend money to buy them?
However, despite the officials 'thoughts, most of them wanted to say something but hesitated. They did not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo.
Naturally, there were some who were bold.
"Prime Minister, ever since the Yellow Turban unrest, the war has not stopped for years. Guanzhong is in ruins, and Chang 'an is in ruins. I'm afraid that the people will be alarmed if I abandon the ancestral temple and the imperial mausoleum for no reason.”
Dong Zhuo was delighted. He walked down the jade steps and patted the civil official's shoulder.
"We have to investigate clearly. This time, we moved the capital in a hurry.”
Seeing Dong Zhuo's tone slow down, the court officials did not expect it and thought to themselves, could it be that his temperament had changed?
However, before he could figure it out, Dong Zhuo suddenly pulled out his weapon and slashed at the civil official.
His skull cracked open, and red and white splattered all over the ground.
"So, one less person means one less burden. This official is very reasonable.”
Dong Zhuo smiled as he looked around. Blood flowed down the tip of the blade and dripped onto the ground.
It was a shocking sight!
Imperial power represented supreme authority.
The Son of Heaven represented the greatest principle in the world.
And Dong Zhuo, in front of the Emperor, was slaughtering the officials.
It could no longer be described as daring, but crazy.
Dong Zhuo's generals smiled and watched the show, not caring at all.
Only the civil officials were left trembling in fear.
"Who has any objections?"
