Chapter 280
Dong Zhuo stood in front of the Dragon Throne, looking down at the officials, his ugly big face full of mockery and contempt for everyone. His words and deeds could show his thoughts, and his desire for the imperial throne was expressed without concealment.
"All of you lift your heads for our family. Today, let you see this useless emperor you are loyal to, and see if he is qualified to sit on the Dragon Throne and serve as the Emperor of the Great Han Empire!"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said to the officials below.
"Sigh, rebellious minister, rebellious minister!"
"Heaven, save the Great Han!"
"Ancestors of the Great Han, save the Great Han!"
"Previous Emperor, the old minister is incompetent!"
When the officials heard Dong Zhuo's words, they were extremely aggrieved in their hearts and could only pray in their hearts. They had no power to resist at all, so they had to lift their heads and look at Liu Bian outside the hall with helplessness in their eyes.
"Hiss... this is His Majesty!!!"
The next moment, sounds of gasping for air sounded among the officials.
Dong Zhuo heard the sound of the officials and turned to look outside the Grand Hall: "Hiss, this, how is this possible!"
I saw a youth standing outside the hall wearing a dragon robe, wearing an imperial crown, and looking handsome. The rich imperial might on the youth's body radiated out, as if he were a Heavenly Emperor suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths.
His whole body bloomed with ten thousand zhang of divine light, making people unable to help but give birth to the urge to bow down and worship.
And outside the hall, Liu Bian, who was already different from the past, had long heard what Dong Zhuo said. He could clearly feel all kinds of emotions from the officials.
"Why, Dong Zhuo, are you so impatient? Then I will disappoint you!"
Liu Bian opened his aura completely, stood outside the Grand Hall, looked coldly at Dong Zhuo standing in front of the Dragon Throne, his whole body filled with killing intent.
"What?"
Although Dong Zhuo had been corrupted by power, he was once a fierce general who shook Xiliang. As a martial general, he at least had some perception of danger. Just when Liu Bian looked at him.
Instantly, he felt a dangerous light fall on him, as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast.
In a panic, he drew the long sword from his waist, staring dead at Liu Bian. This useless emperor had really changed too much.
He felt that today's matter was not easy to end. He didn't know if this useless emperor was just putting on a show or if he had really become stronger.
"A useless person actually gave me such a dangerous feeling. It seems that after deposing the emperor this time, I must execute him immediately. I can't keep him anymore, otherwise, it will become a big trouble."
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Bian with eyes full of killing intent.
Step, step, step!
Liu Bian withdrew his gaze and did not stay outside the hall. He took steady steps and walked into the court meeting hall.
The ministers along the way all gave up their positions, bent over and bowed to Liu Bian, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the hall.
Liu Bian's petite body, at this moment in everyone's eyes, was so noble, like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the world, extremely noble.
At this moment, Liu Bian was full of majesty, and every move was full of the aura of a superior, and his whole body exuded imperial might.
"This, this, is this still His Majesty?"
The officials widened their eyes, watching Liu Bian entering the hall. Their expressions were different, but everyone had one thing in common, and that was that they were all shocked by Liu Bian's performance.
You must know that Liu Bian's image in the hearts of the world in the past was not like this. In the past, Liu Bian was cowardly and weak, submissive, let alone facing a court meeting of hundreds of people.
Even if someone acted a little fierce, he might be scared to tears.
But now, just the aura Liu Bian displayed, that aura was even stronger than the previous emperor. If this wasn't an emperor, then no one would be an emperor.
The current Liu Bian was the image of an emperor in the hearts of the officials, even more perfect.
"Li Ru, this bastard, didn't he say everything was arranged? Then what's going on with this young emperor! This young emperor must not be kept anymore, he must be removed immediately!!!"
Unlike the officials, Dong Zhuo felt a trace of regret in his heart when he saw Liu Bian's majestic performance.
He felt that he had been played by Liu Bian. Liu Bian's previous performance must have been faked. He shouldn't have listened to his subordinate's suggestion at the beginning; he should have killed him, not kept him until now.
"But a useless person is a useless person. Even if you disguise yourself well, so what? Now the whole Luoyang is under our family's control, and there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry. Even if you hide deep, so what? Why can you resist me?"
Dong Zhuo put away his regretful mood and finally found a reason to comfort himself.
Seeing that Liu Bian was already sitting on the Dragon Throne, Dong Zhuo immediately gave Li Ru a look, and Li Ru immediately understood.
Liu Bian sat on the Dragon Throne, looking at Dong Zhuo and their performance with indifference.
"Please have Chen Liu Wang enter the hall..."
Li Ru immediately stepped out, bowed slightly, clasped his fists, and shouted loudly towards the outside of the Grand Hall.
Da, da, da.
Following a burst of rapid footsteps, outside the hall, a dozen eunuchs and palace maids were surrounding a young, petite-bodied, but wearing a dragon robe and imperial crown little boy walking in.
This person was none other than Liu Bian's younger brother from a different mother, the Chen Liu Wang, Liu Xie, personally conferred by Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.
"This, isn't this Chen Liu Wang?"
"Yes, what's going on? Why is Chen Liu Wang wearing a dragon robe to court? This is rebellion!"
Many ministers loyal to the Han family said in horror. They didn't understand. From the moment they saw Chen Liu Wang enter the hall, they knew that the thief Dong was afraid he was going to commit the act of usurping the Han and replacing it.
When the officials saw this scene, most of them were extremely panicked and angry, wanting to protest loudly.
But seeing Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and the Xiliang Army soldiers stationed in the Grand Hall, they were silent again.
You must know that since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, all ministers who opposed him had been executed. They dared not take this risk.
"Three days ago, His Majesty told our family that he was not comfortable being emperor, and today, he wants to abdicate to Chen Liu Wang. Everyone, why don't you hurry up and pay respects to the new emperor."
Dong Zhuo pointed at Liu Xie and said to everyone in the hall, his icy eyes staring at everyone, full of warnings.
"May I ask Prime Minister, what does this mean? When did His Majesty say this?"
"Moreover, His Majesty is the Great Han Emperor personally determined by the Previous Emperor. Now, is Prime Minister trying to force His Majesty to abdicate? If Prime Minister has this intention, please forgive us for not being able to agree."
As soon as Dong Zhuo's voice fell, an old minister below, wearing official robes, walked out with a firm face. This person was Lu Zhi, the Minister who led the army to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and asked Dong Zhuo.
"We do not agree!" Before Dong Zhuo could answer, another upright voice sounded below.
This person was the current Grand Commandant Yang Biao. Yang Biao's tone was firm, filled with unyielding spirit.
"Grand Commandant..." Lu Zhi was extremely excited.
"We do not agree!"
Following the voices of Lu Zhi and Yang Biao, the officials loyal to the Han family below immediately shouted, their tones firm and uniform. As long as someone took the lead, most of them were still loyal to the Han family.
"You, you, you actually dare to disobey our family's order!"
Dong Zhuo never expected that these ministers would disobey his order, and roared angrily.
"We do not agree!" Minister Lu Zhi, Grand Commandant Yang Biao, Situ Wang Yun, and others seemed to have put life and death aside, ignoring Dong Zhuo's murderous gaze, and asked loudly again with firm tones and serious expressions.
