Chapter 211 Who dares to kill General Huangfu?

The course of history has accelerated. Within a few days after Zhang Yu left Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had fully controlled the situation in Luoyang, lured Lu Bu to assassinate Ding Yuan, annexed Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army, and appointed Lu Bu as the cavalry commander, and Lu Bu became Dong Zhuo's personal bodyguard.

Dong Zhuo, who joined forces with Lu Bu, killed the young emperor Liu Bian on the excuse and poisoned Empress Dowager He. Through the replacement and handling of the highest-level personnel of the court, the entire Eastern Han government was almost completely controlled by Dong Zhuo: the decree of the emperor, the appointment and removal of court officials, and the formulation of major policies were all decided by Dong Zhuo. At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was extremely ambitious, was already arrogant.

Dong Zhuo promoted himself to Taiwei, in charge of national military affairs and former general affairs. Later, he was appointed as the marquis of county lords, and became the prime minister. He was the head of the three dukes, and took power as the prime minister. Although Dong Zhuo was named the prime minister of state "below one person and above ten thousand people", he actually far surpassed the emperor and enjoyed the privileges of "praise and worship without name, enter the court without going to the palace, and walk into the palace with swords and shoes". After he became an official, Dong Zhuo also used his privileges to add a member of the Dong family. He first appointed his mother as the king of Chi Yang, and Yueli equipped his family orders and retainers, with a status of the same as that of the royal princess. At the same time, Dong Zhuo also appointed his younger brother Dong Min as the left general, the marquis of Yuhou, and also named his young granddaughter as the monarch. What's more, "Zhuo's concubines held the middle sons in his arms, and they were all named marquis, and made gold and purple."

While playing with power tricks, Dong Zhuo secretly cultivated his minions and widely accepted his close confidants. He used means such as win over, temptation, and exclusion to attack and frame all forces and groups that were unfavorable to him. After being appointed as the marquis, Dong Zhuo tried his best to win over Situ Huang Wan and Sikong Yang Biao, and promoted and supported Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who had been deposed. Dong Zhuo not only restored the previous titles of Chen Fan and others, but also promoted their descendants so that they could use them for their own generations.

Dong Zhuo used his privileges to re-elect and appoint a large number of party members, such as Zhou Bi, Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Wu Qiong, Secretary of the Secretariat Zheng Gongye, Chief Secretary He Ying, Sikong Wu Dushi, etc. Not only that, as long as they were party members related to the above personnel, Dong Zhuo all promoted them to the rank of ministers. For a while, "the stagnant people were many obvious."

However, Dong Zhuo regarded Huangfu Song as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, so he had to remove it.

In fact, Huangfu Song and Jingzhao Yin Gaixun were indeed plotting against Dong Zhuo.

If Huangfu Song and Gai Xun joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo, it would become a fact that the ten Dong Zhuo generals were not opponents. Not only because Huangfu Song had a high prestige, but also because he held heavy troops. Huangfu Song was commanding 30,000 troops in Fufeng County at that time. Once these teams reached Luoyang, how could Dong Zhuo be Huangfu Song's opponent?

History will inevitably be rewritten!

However, Huangfu Song is a foolish and loyal member. As long as the emperor has an imperial edict, even if he is ordered to come to Luoyang to kill him, he will firmly implement it.

There is absolutely no possibility to make Huangfu Song rebel against the emperor.

Even if everyone in the world rebels, he will not.

Dong Zhuo had a deep understanding of Huangfu Song's personality and thoughts. In order to kill Huangfu Song, he just used a little trick and imprisoned Huangfu Song to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo issued an edict to Huangfu Song in the name of the emperor and transferred him to Luoyang to serve as the captain of the city gate. Huangfu Song gave up his plan to attack Dong Zhuo and brought his whole family to Luoyang.

Modern people may not be fond of the position of the city gate captain. In fact, in that era, this position was quite prominent, and generally only the foreign relatives could hold it, because this position was not affiliated with the Jinwu and the Marquis of the Northern Army, and was the city guards in the Central Guard System of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Besides, at this time, Dong Zhuo was appointing scholars as officials. Huangfu Song, like a considerable number of scholars, was confused by Dong Zhuo's behavior and thought that Dong Zhuo sincerely supported the Han Dynasty.

As soon as Huangfu Song arrived in Luoyang, Jingzhao Yin Gaixun was unable to speak out. He had to accept Dong Zhuo's order to serve as a councillor in Luoyang.

Within three days after Huangfu Song arrived in Luoyang, the competent official submitted a memorial in accordance with Dong Zhuo's intention, denying Huangfu Song's rebellion. Dong Zhuo ordered the arrest of Huangfu Song and decided to make a quick trial and immediately execute it.

The head of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty was the life of Huangfu Song, who had made immortal achievements for the Han Dynasty, and he could be chopped off by Dong Zhuo at any time.

On this day, Dong Zhuo, who was proud and satisfied, had a big banquet for guests to declare his achievements in governing. At the same time, he wanted to take this opportunity to order the killing of Huangfu Song to establish his authority.

The change of authoritarian and authoritarian regimes is mostly full of violence and blood.

In order to maintain the rule, the eunuchs killed He Jin and others, and in order to end the eunuch's dictatorship, Yuan Shao and others used extremely violent means to kill all the eunuchs. In the fight between these two forces, due to excessive force, both sides suffered losses and the results were picked up by Dong Zhuo for free.

In order to maintain his rule, Dong Zhuo will of course use violent means to eliminate the stranger!

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, Huangfu Song is the biggest threat. If he did not kill Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo would be unable to sleep or eat.

After Dong Zhuo took away Ding Yuan, the leader of the Bingzhou Army, and annexed the Bingzhou Army, he made up his mind to deal with Huangfu Song.

Lu Bu stood beside Dong Zhuo. He frequently raised his wine to greet everyone, his voice was bright and his laughter was cheerful.

In order to cater to Dong Zhuo, many officials also frequently respected Dong Zhuo and did their best to welcome him. This made Dong Zhuo have a illusion, thinking that the power was firmly under control. In fact, undercurrents were surging. As a border general, none of the officials who came from traditional literati and officials looked down on him. Many people wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. Huang Wan, Yang Ci and Wang Yun secretly contacted him, and as long as he was given a chance, he would assassinate Dong Zhuo.

It is indeed very sad for Dong Zhuo. He appointed so many scholars, restored the titles of so many deposed bosses in the previous dynasty, and promoted the children of so many great men to officials, but still could not gain the recognition of mainstream scholars.

In this society, family background exceeds everything, and bloodline determines the future and destiny.

Ordinary people are as powerful as Dong Zhuo, and they cannot be accepted by traditional scholars.

After Dong Zhuo was so excited about drinking, he put down his wine, stood up, and loudly preached his great achievements for the Han Dynasty, and the officials praised him one after another.

After Dong Zhuo finished his achievements, he began to tell Huangfu Song about his faults, saying that Huangfu Song colluded with the rebels of Xiliang and had the intention of having heavy troops to resign. In order to prevent Huangfu Song from treason, he decided to kill Huangfu Song immediately.

As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, many officials left their seats and knelt down, begging Dong Zhuo not to kill Huangfu Song.

Dong Zhuo was extremely angry and sneered and asked, "Are you also Huangfu Song's party?"

No one dared to admit that more than a dozen officials could only lie on the ground.

Dong Zhuo shouted: "Everyone will return to his seat. Whoever dares to obstruct will be treated as Huangfu Song's party."

Under Dong Zhuo's coercion, the officials who pleaded for Huangfu Song could only return to their seats honestly.

If Huangfu Song saw the scene, he would definitely vomit blood. As the greatest loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, who dared to risk his life to speak for him at this moment?

Huangfu Song fought for his life, made countless achievements in his establishment, and was ranked first among the three heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was in the ranking of famous generals in later generations. However, he also had the shortcomings of being worldly and never interacted with court officials, which gave people the impression that Huangfu Song seemed to come from outside the world and was not as good as the fireworks of the world.

Besides, Huangfu Song was attacked by Zhang Rang and others. Emperor Ling of Han cut off his title and dismissed his official position, which greatly damaged his position in the minds of court officials and his prestige was greatly impacted.

This is the sorrow of the Han Dynasty and Huangfu Song.

After Dong Zhuo found that no one pleaded for Huangfu Song again, he announced loudly that he immediately raised Huangfu Song from the prison and beheaded.

At this moment, a sudden shout came from outside the gate: "Who dares to kill General Huangfu?"

All the officials quickly looked at the gate. A man wearing snow-white silk clothes stood there with his head held high. Several Hu Ben Yulin soldiers wanted to get close to the man and pulled him away. The man raised his hand and punched all the Hu Ben Yulin soldiers who were trying to get close to him.

"ah?"

"General of the State!"

All the officials screamed, and the hall immediately became riot.

Dong Zhuo was stunned, his brow frowned, and his brain thought urgently.

Dong Zhuo thought that Zhang Yu had returned to Jingzhou and would not come back in the short term. Zhang Yu's sudden appearance made Dong Zhuo panic.

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu standing beside him, and Lu Bu stood motionless, as if it was a stone sculpture.

Lu Bu is not a stupid person. He has seen the city guards killed by Zhang Yu's fist. He knew that he was not Zhang Yu's opponent. How dare he easily stop Zhang Yu?

After Dong Zhuo thought about it, the tigers who were trying to attack Zhang Yu with weapons shouted: "The general of the country has the right to enter and exit the banned provinces freely. This is the favor of the late emperor. Whoever dares to stop them will be killed."

The tigers quickly carried a few corpses and quickly left.
