Read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The emperor of Han Wei was really miserable, and the abolition was all decided by the ministers, and he could not be the master himself. Liu Wei was succeeded to the throne by his foreign relative He Jin, and only a few months later, Dong Zhuo pulled him down and made Liu Xie emperor, and the emperor became a doll in the hands of his courtiers.
On the same day, Emperor Liu Jie and Liu Xie the Prince of Chen Liu were abducted into the wilderness by the eunuchs Zhang Rang and Duan Jue, and Dong Zhuo came to the rescue and asked sharply: "Where is the Son of Heaven?" Emperor Liu Wei was frightened and trembled, unable to speak, without the emperor's prestige. However, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, calmly came forward and asked, "Who is the visitor?" Dong Zhuo replied that it was Xi Liang who stabbed Shi Dong Zhuo and came to protect him. Liu Xie said: "Since he has come to protect the driver, the Son of Heaven is here, so why don't he get off his horse?" Dong Zhuo panicked and hurriedly got off his horse and prostrated himself on the side of the road. King Chen Liu was kind enough to appease Dong Zhuo, and from beginning to end, his words and deeds were decent, and he briefly maintained the royal dignity with his own strength. When Dong Zhuo saw this, he had the idea of deposing Liu Xie and establishing Liu Xie as emperor.
Li Ru also agreed with Dong Zhuo's idea, believing that Dong Zhuo was a foreign minister, and now if he wanted to control the government of the dynasty, he needed to establish authority as soon as possible, and the best way to establish authority was to abolish the emperor, moreover, the emperor was young and talented enough, and the forces that supported the emperor, He Jin, and other forces had collapsed, and there was no substantial strong obstacle to deposing the emperor, at most it was the opposition of the ministers, but his own strength was strong, and he was not afraid.
The next day, Dong Zhuo held a feast in Wenmingyuan and invited Gongqing to go. Gong Qing was afraid of Dong Zhuo, and no one dared not come. At the feast, Dong Zhuo said, "The Son of Heaven is the Lord of all nations, how can there be no prestige?" Now the emperor is cowardly and incompetent, not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu, I want to depose the emperor and establish King Chen Liu as emperor, what do you think? Everyone listened and did not dare to speak out against it. Only Jingzhou Thorn Shi Dingyuan stood up and said loudly, "What kind of person are you, who dares to say such a big word?" The Son of Heaven was the concubine of the former emperor, and he was not at fault, so how could he argue about the abolition of the establishment? Do you want to rebel? Dong Zhuo scolded loudly: "Those who follow me are born, and those who oppose me die." When he drew his sword, he wanted to kill Ding Yuan, but when he saw Lü Bu behind Ding Yuan, "instrument Yu Xuan Ang, majestic, holding Fang Tian's painting sword in his hand, and glaring at him", Li Rusheng was afraid of accidents and hurriedly said: "I came here today to drink, I don't talk about state affairs, and it is not too late to discuss it in the future." Everyone advised Ding Yuan to leave immediately.
Dong Zhuo asked again, "What I said, do you think it is right?" Lu Zhi said bluntly: "Although the emperor is young, there is no slightest fault, you are just a history of assassination, you have never participated in state affairs, and you do not have the great talent of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, how can you forcibly depose the emperor?" Wang Yun also said: "Such a major matter as abolishing the emperor should not be discussed after drinking and discussed later." So the hundred officials left.
The first discussion on deposing the emperor was opposed by many people, and Dong Zhuo failed to achieve his wish, but he was still not dead hearted. Under the persuasion of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo once again set up a banquet, gathered the secretary of state, and let more than a thousand soldiers stand by to deter hundreds of officials. This time, Dong Zhuo made up his mind that he must achieve his goal, and pressed the hilt of his sword and said, "The emperor is faint and incompetent, and he cannot be the emperor, I want to be like Yi Yin and Huo Guang, depose the emperor as the king of Hongnong, establish the king of Chen Liu as the emperor, and behead those who disobey!" The courtiers panicked and did not dare to speak. Only Lieutenant Yuan Shao of the Chinese Military Academy stepped forward and said, "Do you want to abolish LiShu and rebel?" Dong Zhuo was furious: "I am in charge of the affairs of the world, who dares not follow!" Do you see my sword sharp or not? Yuan Shao also drew his sword and said, "Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not sharp?" Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Yuan Shao, but Li Ru dissuaded him, and Yuan Shao left with his sword. Dong Zhuo finally said: "Those who dare to stop it are engaged in military law." The courtiers were horrified and had no choice but to agree with you. After the banquet, the attendant Zhou Yi and the lieutenant Wu Qiong both believed that the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, the protégés and former officials all over the world, if they were too tight and afraid of their rebellion, it was better to give him an official position, and they could also buy people's hearts. Dong Zhuo obeyed and appointed Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuo asked the emperor to ascend to the palace, drew the sword in his hand, counted whether the emperor was not, and then helped the emperor off the throne, and then asked Empress He to take off her clothes and wait for the edict. The emperor and the empress dowager cried and cried, very miserable. At this time, Shang Shu Ding Guan scolded Dong Zhuo loudly and angrily, and waved the ivory hand plate in his hand to hit Dong Zhuo, dong Zhuo was furious and ordered him to be dragged out and beheaded. Dante kept cursing until his death.
Dong Zhuo invited Liu Xie, the King of Chenliu, to ascend to the treasure hall and officially become emperor, which was Emperor Xian of Han. However, after Liu Xie ascended to the throne, he was still only a puppet of Dong Zhuo, and his life was ill-fated.
