”General director, you'd better change your clothes so that you don't cause unnecessary trouble.” did not want to bring trouble to himself right now because everyone hated eunuchs. ”After the six of them changed into the soldiers' clothing, he waved his hand and gave the order decisively.” Pass my order and all the cavalry will march forward. ”Let's go!”
Dong Zhuo brought his personal soldiers and rushed to the Mang Shan, but after searching for a long time, he was unable to find Young Emperor Liu Bian and King Chen Liu Liu Xie, but he was able to find quite a few Minister of the Court s. When these ministers heard the news, they rushed out to help the king.
After daybreak, more and more ministers left the city to search for the Emperor. Dong Zhuo's personal guards and the Minister of the Court came to a side called the Northern Mystery City. Suddenly, he saw tens of thousands of miserable looking people from the Young Emperor Liu Xie's group rushing towards the south along the mountain path.
From the moment they fled in panic and were displaced, Young Emperor Liu Bian had had a mental breakdown. Zhang Nan was being chased by Min Gong, so Young Emperor Liu Bian did not dare to say anything, and followed Min Gong anxiously. As they reached Northern Mang City, Young Emperor Liu Bian raised his head and saw Dong Zhuo's large army. These elites of the West Cold were all sharp and aggressive, Young Emperor Liu Bian did not recognize Dong Zhuo, and thought that these soldiers wanted to kill him again, so he immediately cried out in fear.
The ministers hurriedly went forward to pay their respects to the emperor, allowing Liu Bian to feel slightly more at ease. But when Dong Zhuo immediately looked at the terrified emperor before he attacked, he instantly felt contempt for him. He did not even step down from his horse. He only cupped his hands together and said loudly, ”Please forgive this official for not being able to perform the ceremony with the armor on.”
Yuan Yuan originally did not want Dong Zhuo to bring his troops over, but when he saw how rude Dong Zhuo was, he immediately got angry. He quickly went up, suppressed his anger, and coldly said, ”The Son of Heaven is still young, and is already very uneasy after this ordeal. You should quickly leave with your men and not scare the Son of Heaven again.”
Dong Zhuo had gotten the Son of Heaven with much difficulty, how could he give up so easily? How could Yuan Xuan wish for such an outcome? He retorted on the spot, ”As the Minister of the Court, you all cannot assist the Emperor, but cause the blood of the Imperial Palace to flow like rivers, causing the Emperor to be exiled outside. How could you allow me to retreat now? If I retreat, what happens if Luoyang starts killing again? ”
Yuan Yuan and the rest were speechless, against Dong Zhuo's cavalry, although they were angry, they could not do anything. And at some point, all the soldiers and horses of the imperial government had already been transferred to the Lai Ping Monastery by Yuan Shao. If they were not surrounded, they were being surrounded, and there were only a few soldiers in the Luoyang City who did not dare to do anything to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo no longer paid any attention to the Minister of the Court s, and walked over to speak with Young Emperor Liu Bian. However, Young Emperor Liu Bian was too shocked to look straight at Dong Zhuo. Especially when Dong Zhuo had acted so rudely towards the Minister of the Court just now, it had caused Young Emperor Liu Bian to be even more afraid, to the point that he spoke incoherently, causing Dong Zhuo to look down on him even more.
Maybe because he was too young, Liu Xie was not afraid at all and seemed to be very calm. Therefore, Dong Zhuo and King Chen Liu asked about what had happened and Liu Xie answered them one by one. From start to finish, he did not leave anything out. Dong Zhuo was very happy. He felt that Liu Xie was capable, and that he was raised by Empress Dowager Dong, who thought that he was of the same race as her.
Dong Zhuo knew that the ministers of the Luoyang were attached to Yuan Zhong, so they did not speak anymore. They just waved their hands and summoned countless of soldiers, surrounding Tian Zi's carriage and escorting him back to the palace. Even Lu Zhi and Min Gong, who had been escorting the Son of Heaven, was no exception.
When Yang Lin led the Youzhou and their allied cavalry to rush to the Luoyang's North Gate, the gatekeeper told him that the emperor had already been escorted by Dong Zhuo from the west gate into the palace. Furthermore, they had already ordered that no army was allowed to enter the city without the Imperial edict.
History continued to follow its own trajectory, and did not change because of Yang Lin's addition. In that moment, Yang Lin was also at a loss. Zhang Banxian had been searching since yesterday, but she hadn't been able to find the emperor. In the end, the emperor had still fallen into Dong Zhuo's hands.
”Since the emperor has already returned to the palace, let us lead the troops back to the camp.” Looking at the majestic wall of the Luoyang City, Yang Lin faintly smiled. Deep in his heart, Yang Lin had no interest in entering the Luoyang at the moment. Since heaven's will had allowed Dong Zhuo to become the last straw that would be used to suppress the Darkhan Dynasty, there was no need for him to fight over this reputation.
”hussar general, you can't just let it go like this. You must not let the Emperor fall into the hands of a traitor, Dong Zhuo!” Hearing that Yang Lin had returned to the camp, Zhang Jean immediately ran forward and said anxiously: ”Dong Zhuo is ruthless, bloodthirsty, cruel and heartless, full of selfish desires and ambition. If the Emperor falls into his hands, then the Emperor will be in danger, and the world will be in danger. ”
”General director, we can't enter the city without the Imperial edict …” You shouldn't let us attack the Luoyang, right? That is a capital offense! ” Yang Lin did not have such thoughts, he did not care about the life and death of the emperor.
When Dong Zhuo returned to the Imperial Palace with Young Emperor Liu Bian and King Chen Liu, he immediately gathered a hundred officials together with Liu Xie to discuss the aftermath of the chaos in the Luoyang. Because the Son of Heaven was frightened, he stayed in Changqiu Palace to rest, and the meeting was presided over by Tutor Yuan Wu.
