The next day's assembly was still held in Dong Zhuo's residence as usual. Perhaps Dong Zhuo also felt that this matter was of great concern, so he kept frowning. It was only when all the ministers had arrived that he slowly raised his head and mentioned the matter of moving his capital to the Minister of the Court s.
”Honored officials, in the days when the High Ancestor was established in the Capital Pass, there was a total of eleven dynasties, all the way to Wang Mang and Wang Mang. Light Martial Emperor had established the Luoyang and even now, he was still an Eleventh Generation Luoyang. According to the《 Stone Bag Prophecy》, we should move to the Chang'an, and follow the wishes of the people. ”
Dong Zhuo had thought about the reason for moving to another city for a long time, so he naturally wouldn't admit that he was afraid of the alliance army that was trying to suppress Dong Zhuo. The cruising wheel he proposed, though somewhat far-fetched, had some reasons.
Dong Zhuo had finished speaking, but the Minister of the Court remained silent. Under Dong Zhuo's slaughtering knife, they very wisely chose to protect themselves. Although they opposed the move to the capital, they knew that they could do it no matter what. 's butcher's blade had taught them that silence was the best form of resistance!
However, not everyone was afraid of death. Situ Yang Biao, who came from Hongnong, dared to fight with Eunuch Wang Fu and even captured him, causing him to die under a cane. Now that Dong Zhuo was considering wantonly moving to the capital, Yang Biao naturally could not tolerate it.
”Changing the system of capital is a matter of great importance to the world. In the Yin Dynasty, when Pan Geng moved to the capital, the people of Yinmin resented him. In the past, Guanzhong Region was destroyed by Wang Mang, so Emperor Guang Wu changed his capital to the Luoyang and had it built for a long time with the citizens living in peace. The Stone Bag Prophecy was a book about demons and devils, how could anyone believe that it could be used! Since the rise of the Effulgence Weapon, it had already been two hundred years since Luoyang! Is it possible for two or three prophecies to alarm the people and agitate against them? Furthermore, the ancestral temples and gardens of the Han Dynasty are all located in the Luoyang. The moment the dynasty moves to the Chang'an, could it be that they will abandon all these? ”
After all, moving to the capital was an important matter that involved many aspects, and Dong Zhuo had already predicted that the Minister of the Court s would object. Although he could use a butcher's knife to force them to submit, he still hoped that the Minister of the Court would follow him to Chang'an so that he could uphold the face of the imperial government. Thus, he had no choice but to reason with them.
”Emperor Gao Zu and the rest of the eleven mausoleums are all in the Chang'an. Furthermore, on the side of Emperor Xuan Du's Tomb, there is the Martial Emperor building pottery and porcelain, and on the right side, there is the addition of fine wood and materials. Today, we can conveniently move the Luoyang's Tomb to the Chang'an, and allow our ancestors and High Ancestors to live side by side.
”Now, in the rebellion in Shandong Province, hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into Nanyang, Chen Liu and Hanoi. What if some general school were to be careless and the enemy troops took advantage of the opportunity and the traitors allowed their luck to enter the Luoyang, what would happen to the Son of Heaven? Once a traitor entered the capital, the entire country would be shaken, thinking that Han could no longer protect himself. ”Once the world's people fall into chaos, there will definitely be a reappearance of the Qin Dynasty.”
”Since the pass is fertile, there are countless good generals. That is why the pass can swallow up six countries. Today, since he had entered the Chang'an, he had already placed himself in an invincible position without fighting Guan Dong. ”Only if the Son of Heaven is safe will I be able to command the army and attack the two hundred thousand bandits!”
”It is very easy to move the world, but to move the world again is very difficult.” However, Dong Zhuo and the other ministers could not be persuaded, even Grand Commandant Huang Wan could not help but suggest to Dong Zhuo: ”Prime Minister, once the dynasty moves to the capital, the world will be disturbed, the situation will definitely change.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's face darkened more and more. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Although he had ordered his subordinates to protect the eight stages of Luoyang and isolate the traitors, all the generals would have to worry about losing before they fought. In this day and age, all should regard the military as the priority, should not be stubborn to vulgarity. Once Guan Dong forcibly kidnapped the Son of Heaven and damaged the country's reputation, how could the big man deter the four territories? Although there was no war between us and the bandits, we still had to worry about the victor and loser. ”
No matter how reasonable Dong Zhuo was, Huang Wan and Yang Biao still had more reasons waiting for him. After a long debate, some of the Minister of the Court s thought that Dong Zhuo might give up his choice of moving to the city, and became restless. They wanted to join forces with Yang Biao and the others to force Dong Zhuo to move.
Xun Shuang, who had not spoken since the beginning, had long since seen through the signs of the Minister of the Court wanting to collectively dissuade Dong Zhuo, and silently cursed. After interacting with Dong Zhuo for such a long time, Xun Shuang had already understood Dong Zhuo's temperament a little. Even if the people of the world were to object, as long as he thought that what he had done was right, Dong Zhuo would definitely not change his mind. If the ministers were to forcefully stop him, another bloody disaster might occur in the imperial government.
If he were to further anger, it was likely that he would hurt Yang Biao, Huang Wan and the other ministers on the spot. He hurriedly acted as the mediator, separating the opposing Dong Zhuo, Huang Wan and Yang Biao. So he said gently.
”Don't you think, suddenly moving to the capital, disturbing the Son of Heaven and the people, all kinds of ills, how can the Prime Minister not know about them? Could it be that the Prime Minister was willing to do this? However, even if the Prime Minister was unstoppable, they were not able to defeat the in an instant. After all, even if the was unrivalled and unrivalled, they still could not defeat the Guandong Allied Army in an instant. The victory of a soldier was unpredictable. If the Son of Heaven was captured, it would greatly damage the Son of Heaven's prestige. The Six Swallowing Nations, the Han Dynasty, and each of its subjects were first placed in the Central Plains and then viewed as the tiger in the Central Plains. ”Today, the thoughts of the prime minister are mostly about military matters. Although the master and elders are concerned about the general situation of the country, they should also understand the difficulties the prime minister is facing.”
Seeing Sikong Zhaixing speaking up for him, Dong Zhuo's anger slightly subsided. But he still did not want to let go of Yang Biao and Huang Wan, and coldly said: ”If this were to happen again today, then this official will not take responsibility for this. The prime minister immediately played the Sky Child, removing Huang Wan and Yang Biao from his duties. At the same time, we appoint Zhao Qian, the Light Meridian, as Grand Commandant, and Wang Yun, the Grand Servant, as our Grand Commandant. ”
Huang Wan and Yang Biao immediately stood up, with traces of a cold smile hanging on their faces, they walked out of the Prime Minister's Palace without saying a word. For them, this might be a relief. Rather than being an official under a butcher's knife every day, they might as well go home and relax.
