Chapter 115: The Verge


The morning in the winter moon was very cold.

Liu Bian curled up and knelt on Danbi's cushions, tightly wrapped in his long robe.

A burst of chirping birds woke him up.

He opened his eyes and looked around, and saw the courtiers.

They all knelt down on the soft cushions and took a nap, and he couldn't help but yawned again.

After yawning, Liu Bian wanted to sleep again.

He was also very ambitious.

He knew that Liu Cheng told him yesterday that Dong Zhuo might propose the abolition of Li Li again at the court meeting today, but he could still sleep.

Rubbing his face, Liu Bian became a little impatient.

This may be the reason why the late Emperor Liu Hong felt that his eldest son's behavior and words were frivolous and unworthy of a king.

"Zhao Chun, what time is it?"

Liu Bian asked.

Zhao Chun held the fly whisk and bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, it is already three o'clock in the morning."

The shortcomings of a child's unstable temperament were fully exposed in Liu Bian.

He raised his hand and said: "It's three quarters past three o'clock, let's get started.

If you have something to report, please leave the court."

Many people in the palace were trying not to laugh out loud.

They were clamoring to withdraw from the court before the meeting had even begun.

Only the young emperor Liu Bian could do this.

Yilang Pengbo stood up and bowed, cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, Lord Sikong Dongzhuo and General Liu Cheng, the Marquis of Anyi, haven't come yet."

Liu Bian was not angry after being scolded for a while, and waved his hand: "Then wait a little longer.

I'm really sleepy.

When will they come?

It's already past three o'clock.

I seem to be hungry too."

Some people wanted to laugh, but another person coughed, and no one else dared to laugh.

At this time, a tall figure strode into the hall with a sword in his hand.

He came to the middle of the hall and clasped his fists at Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Cheng, is here to pay homage.

I am late.

I kept your Majesty waiting for a long time.

Please forgive me."

Liu Bian quickly raised his hand and said: "Uncle Huang is not guilty, Uncle Huang came at the right time."

The ministers looked at each other in confusion.

What is the origin of the title "Emperor Uncle"?

Grand Tutor Yuan Wei stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, why do you call General Liu the Imperial Uncle?

How can you call him the Imperial Uncle just because his surname is Liu?

This seems inappropriate.

Bar" Liu Bian pointed at Zongzheng and Liu Ai and said: "Liu Ai, come and tell Mr.

Yuan and all the ministers."

"According to the order," Liu Ai agreed and said to the ministers: "Everyone, after investigation, it has been found that the Marquis of Anyi and the right general Liu Chengnai are the descendants of Jidong King Liu Pengli, the grandson of Emperor Wen and the son of King Liu Wu of Liang."

Liu Ai said this, Liu Cheng is really a member of the royal family.

Although many generations have passed, he still has royal blood in him.

It's just that Liu Pengli, the King of Jidong, seemed to have been demoted to a commoner back then.

Yuan Wei remembered that this was recorded in a certain classic, so he said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that Liu Pengli, the King of Jidong, was demoted to a commoner back then. , even if General Liu is his descendant, you can't call General You the emperor's uncle."

Eunuch Zhao Chun couldn't help it.

Before Dong Zhuo came, these ministers began to bully the emperor.

He stepped forward and rebuked loudly: "Yuan Wei, your majesty has decreed that General Liu be re-incorporated into the royal family tree and worshiped as the emperor's uncle."

"Your Majesty is willing to recognize General Liu as a relative.

What does it have to do with you, an outsider?

You must be too lenient."

"Well said Yuan Wei, I didn't see you dare to fart in front of Dong Zhuo during the meeting in Chengming Hall the day before yesterday.

But today you are holding on to such a trivial matter.

You are the Tutor, with a high status.

The court needs you to step up and support him.

You don't have the guts when you're young, and when you're not needed, you insist on picking bones among the eggs.

I think you're full."

When the ministers looked at it, it was Situ Dinggong who was speaking.

This made everyone unable to understand.

How could Ding Gong say such things?

This old man seems to have taken refuge with Dong Zhuo.

Isn't he afraid of being heard by Dong Zhuo?

"That's enough."

Liu Cheng stopped the quarrel and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, it's getting late.

Can the court meeting begin?"

Liu Bian pointed at Peng Bo and said: "Yi Lang Peng Bo said that Sikong Dong Zhuo has not come yet, and the court meeting cannot be held yet."

Liu Cheng was angry, looked at Peng Bo and snorted coldly: "Peng Bo, is this what you said?

Could it be that if Dong Zhuo doesn't come all day today, the civil and military officials of the court will have to wait for him all day, who is he?"

At this time, a rude shout came from outside the palace: "Liu Cheng, my son, don't always speak ill of people behind their backs.

We are the second eldest child in our family, so we are considered the second eldest children."

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha"

Although Liu Bian was not good at politics, he was very responsive in this regard.

He immediately understood why Liu Cheng was laughing, and he couldn't help but laugh too.

Other ministers also reacted at this time.

Although they tried their best to hold it in, they still laughed.

Someone laughed out loud.

Only then did Dong Zhuo realize that he seemed to have made a joke.

His voice came from outside the palace: "What are you laughing at?

You're laughing your ass off."

After the words fell, Dong Zhuo also appeared outside the main hall door.

Yan Xing, who was on duty outside, flashed out and placed an iron spear across the door and shouted: "Untie the sword!"

Dong Zhuo was stopped and shouted without looking back: "Fengxian" Before Lu Bu's voice could be heard, Fang Tian's painted halberd appeared and struck the iron spear at lightning speed.

Yan Xing's eyes narrowed and he quickly lifted the iron spear, knocking out the force from Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Remove half of it, but still Although his arms were numb from the shock, he did not stop at all.

The iron spear stabbed Lu Bu, who had appeared.

Fang Tian drew a halberd in Lu Bu's hand.

Yan Xing's iron spear was pressed down, and Yan Xing flipped the iron spear away.

He stabbed Lu Bu in the neck.

"I didn't expect there to be a master like you here, take the move!"

Lu Bu turned his head and dodged the iron spear and shouted.

Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand had already struck Yan Xing's shoulder, and Yan Xing had to withdraw the iron spear to hold it.

After all, Yan Xing is only less than twenty years old.

He is still young, not yet proficient in martial arts, has not yet rich enough fighting experience, and his strength is far from reaching its peak.

However, Lu Bu is already thirty, and is at the peak of martial arts in a man's life.

At that moment, the two sides only exchanged less than fifty moves.

Yan Xing couldn't hold on any longer and was struck by Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji.

He took five or six steps back before reluctantly stopping.

When he rushed up again, Lu Bu had already escorted Dong Zhuo into the hall.

Hua Xiong followed with a large number of Xiliang troops and poured out of the hall.

Under the eaves, The corridors and steps were filled with soldiers.

Yan Xing's dozen soldiers who were guarding the main hall were all driven to the outside.

Yan Xing was so angry that he rushed into the hall with an iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Lü Bu, come again!"

At this time, Liu Cheng shouted: "Yan Xing" and waved his hand to signal Yan Xing to leave.

At this time, letting them fight in the hall would hurt innocent people.

"Humph" Yan Xing snorted coldly and retreated.

Liu Cheng glanced at Lu Bu, turned his eyes to Dong Zhuo, and asked: "Dong Zhuo, why are you so late?

Isn't it the morning sun today?"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "There must be a reason why our family is late.

We mentioned it in Chengming Hall the day before yesterday.

Today, His Majesty Liu Bian is far less intelligent and virtuous than King Chen Liu and Liu Xie.

Our family has decided to depose Liu Bian and replace him with Liu Xie became emperor.

At that time, Most of the ministers do not object.

As of now, those who oppose our family have either left or fled, so the matter of abolishing the throne has been established and there is no need to discuss it further.

In the past two days, our family has made preparations for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

You see. , who is here?”

Everyone looked outside the door and saw Liu Xie wearing the emperor's dragon robe and a jade crown, walking in under the clothes of a eunuch.

Liu Bian was so frightened that he collapsed on top of Dan.

When Liu Cheng saw this, he was furious and pointed at Dong Zhuo and cursed: "Dong Zhuo, you are really crazy.

Others say that I, Liu Cheng, am crazy.

I think you, Dong Zhongying, are even crazier than me." .In the past, Taijia sent out messages at will.

Giving orders, blindly enjoying pleasure, tyrannizing the people, and making the government chaotic.

The king of Changyi had more than a thousand sins, so he was abolished.

However, your majesty is still young and has not committed any unethical behavior.

How can you compare your majesty and the prince?

"A compared with the king of Changyi" Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Now that the emperor is weak, how can he be the lord of the world and worship the ancestral temple?

Our family will follow the example of Yiyin Huoguang today and depose Liu Bian's title of emperor and replace him with King Chenliu.

What are you going to do?"

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth and spat out each word: "I don't agree."

At this time, Situ Dinggong stood up and said: "Since Prince Bian ascended the throne this year, there have been frequent natural disasters and too many mournings in various parts of the Han Dynasty.

It is obvious that Prince Bian's accession to the throne is not in line with God's will.

Lord Sikong Dong proposed the abolition of the throne for the sake of the country and the country.

It’s also for the sake of the Han Dynasty.”

Yilang Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered: "Hey, Ding Situ, what did you say before Mr.

Dong came just now?"

Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes: "Mengde, what did Ding Situ just say?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Ding Situ just scolded Mr.

Yuan for not daring to let go of a fart in front of you, but in front of others..."

Dong Zhuo was a little unhappy in his heart.

Although these words were not directed at him, he always felt that Ding Gong's behavior was too despicable and he was quite duplicitous.

He was looking for an opportunity to take down his position as Situ, so he said: "Ding Gong Sir, as a Situ, how can you say such things in the court?

It is really unbecoming.

So, you should stop being a Situ and become a minister."

Liu Cheng said coldly: "Dong Zhuo, it's not your turn to dominate the court with one hand, and it's not your turn to appoint or remove the three ministers and nine ministers at will."

Dong Zhuo turned to look at Liu Cheng, his fierce look revealed, murderous intent bursting out, "Liu Cheng, you must go against our family, right?"

"So what if you want to depose the emperor?

Unless I, Liu Cheng, die, otherwise you can't even think about it.

Since you are determined to depose the emperor, let's just make a break between us.

Either you die or I die today."

Liu Cheng After Cheng finished speaking, he shouted to the outside of the palace: "Yan Xing, pass this general's military order to seal the palace gate.

Anyone who enters or exits the palace gate will not be killed."

"Follow your orders"

"Woo" a desolate horn sounded, followed by a large number of neat footsteps from far to near, and soon and clearly reached the main hall.

Groups of Northern Army soldiers rushed up the steps and came to the outside of the main hall to clear the Xiliang outside.

The Xiliang army, led by Hua Xiong, was not to be outdone and confronted the Northern Army soldiers with weapons in the main hall.

Dong Zhuo, Li Su, Li Ru and others looked shocked, and Lu Bu also looked solemn at this time.

The ministers looked at the formation and their faces turned pale with fear, and they all cursed in their hearts, "Damn it, Dong Zhuo, Liu Cheng, are you two ordinary men going to fight in this Chongde Hall?"
