When Dong Zhuo learned about the escape of the Yuan brothers, it was already three o'clock in the morning the next day. Last night, he summoned three concubines and exhausted all his energy.

"What! You said that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went into the palace to see the emperor last night and then left the city? Who was guarding the palace gate last night? Kill them, kill them!" Dong Zhuo was furious.

"My lord, the guards at the palace gate were beheaded by the general last night. I heard from the soldiers guarding the city gate that Yuan Shao got out of the city only with the Emperor's Sword." Guo Si knelt on the ground, not daring to express his anger, for fear of Dong Zhuo's anger. , even beheaded himself.

"Sword of the Emperor? It seems that the little emperor is impatient. Ask Li Ru to come to see me." Dong Zhuo ordered Guo Si to come to Li Ru to discuss countermeasures.

When Li Ru arrived, he saw that Dong Zhuo had put on his clothes. Li Ru knelt down and said, "My lord, I wonder why your lord summoned you?"

"Brother Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, fearing that it would be detrimental to me. The young emperor actually gave the Emperor's Sword to Yuan Shao. What do you think we should do?" Dong Zhuo asked, his tone full of murderous intent.

Li Ru said eloquently, "Confucianism has three strategies. The first strategy is to depose the emperor and establish King Chenliu as emperor, and then tell the world that the Yuan brothers are rebelling; the middle strategy is to mobilize the Guanzhong army to attack Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yanzhou, and wipe out all the Liu family members. My lord has made himself the emperor; I have decided that my lord should return the throne to the emperor, and all the troops from Xiliang will withdraw to Liangzhou, and he will make himself the king and establish a separate kingdom."

"Both the middle and the worst strategies are not what I want. The best strategy is to use the one you say is the best strategy. You must handle this matter personally and do it cleanly." Dong Zhuo said.

"My lord, the best strategy is to get rid of the emperor and the queen mother. I wonder if my lord will let go of the queen mother?" Li Ru asked. After all, it was already known to everyone that Dong Zhuo was involved in the queen mother.

"Why don't you want to part with it? It's just a one-night stand. Just go ahead and do it. By the way, you also have to find an excuse. Have you thought about it?" Dong Zhuo was still sober when it came to important matters and the choice of women.

"When Empress Dowager He was not the Empress Dowager, in order to help Liu Bian win the position of crown prince, she conspired with General He Jin to kill the late emperor and Empress Dowager Dong. The lord was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, so he launched an army to avenge Empress Dowager Dong and assisted Chen Liu, the destined emperor. The king has ascended the throne. What do you think, lord?" Li Ru said.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! If you do it this way, I will become a relative of the emperor. Hahaha, go and do it quickly, use poisoned wine, and remember to keep the whole body." Dong Zhuo did not expect that he could be related to the late Empress Dowager Dong. , two people can't fight each other.

"My lord, please wait for the good news. I will leave." Li Ru said, turned and left.

Half an hour later, Li Ru, holding Dong Zhuo's token, entered the emperor's palace and forced the emperor to drink poisonous wine. Poor Liu Bian, he went to see the late emperor less than a year after inheriting the throne of the Han Dynasty. The Xiliang sergeant also insulted Queen Mother He and Concubine Tang in turn. Unexpectedly, Concubine Tang was still a virgin. This is a shame for the Han royal family!

At the court meeting the next day, Li Ru read out the edict: "The late Emperor Liu Bian died of a sudden illness. The late Emperor's concubine Tang and the Queen Mother He were so sad that they also left with the late emperor. Now Chenliu Wang Conghui is the youngest son of Emperor Ling, Prime Minister Dong Zhuo In order to follow the example of Huo Guang, he promoted King Chenliu as the emperor and changed it to Chuping in the Yuan Dynasty."

"Dong Zhuo, you traitor! You actually killed the king!" Grand Tutor Yuan Huai yelled.

"Come here, capture this nonsense talker, behead him, confiscate his home, and destroy the nine tribes." Dong Zhuo pulled out his sword, "Who has any objections? Yuan Huai is your role model!"

There was silence in the hall, and Li Jue led the Xiyuan Army into the Yuan Mansion. For a time, mourning was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!

After a bloody storm, Liu Xie ascended the throne of emperor with the support of Dong Zhuo, and was known as Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty in history!
