Chapter 149: The Dispute in the Court - Deposing and Enthroning the Emperor!
The sky turned fish belly white.

Dong Zhuo led more than 10,000 Xiliang cavalrymen into Luoyang City in a triumphant manner.

The streets and alleys were silent, but everyone could feel that the weather in Luoyang was about to change.

Imperial Palace, Linde Hall.

Since the battle started last night, Queen He had a bad feeling.

Because everything was out of her control, she felt helpless and scared for the first time in her life.

But she still didn't want to believe Ye Feng's judgment at the time, and still felt that these people were just fighting for power and profit. When the fighting ended, everything would return to normal.

The morning court was going on, but every courtier was listless.

"Tap Tap"

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

Dong Zhuo, dressed in military uniform and with a broadsword on his waist, pushed aside the guards and strode into the hall.

On one side, Lu Bu held a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, with a frown on his face, and the oppressive feeling that only a heavenly general could possess was unreserved.

Behind the two men, hundreds of neatly-armored Xiliang soldiers spread out to the left and right, blocking all exits.

All the ministers looked pale and didn't even dare to move.

Liu Bian, who was sitting on the dragon throne at the top, burst into tears with a "wow". This miserable appearance made Dong Zhuo look at him with contempt.

"Grandmaster Dong, sword and shoes are coming to the palace, are you planning a rebellion?"

The sudden voice made the hall even quieter. Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw that the person who spoke was Cai Yong, there was a different look in their eyes.

Everyone knows that Ye Feng is Cai Yong's son-in-law. With Ye Feng as his background, even if Dong Zhuo is arrogant, he will have to restrain himself, right?
It’s a pity that these ministers ignored Dong Zhuo’s ambitions.

"Ha ha!!"

Dong Zhuo smiled heartily and clasped his fists towards Cai Yong: "You all saw the fighting outside the city last night."

"Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other rebels have already fled after their defeat. Although the mastermind has fled Luoyang, their accomplices in the city have not been found."

"For the stability of the court, for the Queen Mother, and for the safety of Your Majesty, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

"Li Ru, arrest him!!"

Li Ru, who had prepared the roster long ago, read it out loudly.

Every time a person's name was read out, soldiers from Xiliang would rush forward and take him away.

Before long, more than twenty court officials were captured and beheaded.

Such unscrupulous behavior aroused opposition from many people, but before the opposition voices were raised, the sword and the axe had already been put to the sword.

In just half an hour, the court, which was slightly crowded in the past, was reduced to less than half of its residents.

Empress He, who was ruling the country from behind the scenes, could no longer bear it, but looking at the bloodstains on the floor that had not yet dried, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

After the list was read out, Empress He mustered up her courage and said, "Grandmaster Dong, the rebels have all been eliminated. Shouldn't we take these soldiers away as well?"

"This is where the court holds meetings. How come these little soldiers are coming here?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Empress He behind the curtain with a smile and said disrespectfully, "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right."

"But there is still one important matter concerning the fate of the Han Dynasty. I, Dong Zhuo, have been blessed by the Emperor for generations, and I cannot help but speak it out. I beg the Queen Mother to grant my consent!"

Empress He said patiently, "What's the matter? Grand Master, please feel free to tell me!!"

Dong Zhuo pointed at Liu Bian who was sitting on the dragon throne and said: "You are the emperor, but you are timid in front of the Han soldiers. You have no sense of being a wise leader. How can such a person revive the Han Dynasty?"

"I think Chenliu King Liu Xie, although young, has sharp words and has the demeanor of a wise ruler."

"If the Prince of Chenliu ascends the throne, all four quarters will surely submit and the world will be at peace!"

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar, but as Lu Bu's cold eyes swept over, everyone dared not speak and lowered their heads.

Empress He felt her blood boiling and she almost fainted.

She had been planning for half her life, wasn't it just to make her son the emperor? To take control of the Han Dynasty?

It was so hard to get it, but Dong Zhuo jumped out and denied everything. Her beautiful eyes were full of fierceness, and she shouted: "Dong Zhuo, do you want to rebel?"

Dong Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "Queen Mother, please don't worry. This is not just my idea. It is what the 200,000 Xiliang troops hope for, what the people hope for, and what the ministers in the court expect."

Empress He laughed in anger: "It is obviously your ambition, and you want to coerce important officials in the court."

"Is there anyone in the whole court who agrees with you?"

As soon as the words came out, the court officials present lowered their heads one by one, and no one agreed with Queen He.

At this moment Queen He finally understood Dong Zhuo's intention of coming in to establish his authority.

That is to kill all opponents and eliminate dissidents.

She was afraid to say anything just now, but now no one in the court is willing to die for them and their son.

A feeling of sadness arose spontaneously, and at this moment Queen He once again remembered the bet between her and Ye Feng.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng was right about everything.

Liu Bian could never become emperor.

Just when Empress He was feeling frustrated, Dong Zhuo's voice rang out again: "My fellow officers, I, Dong Zhuo, am definitely not a traitor who is greedy for power and rebels. The reason I deposed and enthroned the emperor was only for the sake of the Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of rule. Please forgive me."

"Hahaha!!"

"How dare such a man with such evil intentions bark here!"

"Do you really think that everyone in the world is stupid?"

Cai Yong laughed sarcastically.

When the voice rang out, all the court officials turned their eyes to Cai Yong.

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly and quietly placed the sword on his waist: "Cai Yong, do you think my sword is not sharp?"

Cai Yong smiled and said, “I don’t know whether Master Dong’s knife is sharp or not, but I know that the spear in my son-in-law’s hand is very sharp.”

"With one shot, even if it's a general, it's as easy as taking something out of a bag!"

"The three battalions of soldiers under his command are all capable of fighting ten enemies at once."

"He left to end the chaos in the world. If he returns with his troops, it's hard to say who has the final say in Luoyang City!"

"Master Dong, please think twice before you act!"

The subtle threat made all the court officials who felt aggrieved secretly feel satisfied.

Dong Zhuo also showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

Although he was now even more powerful with the help of Lu Bu, he was still afraid when facing Ye Feng.

Especially now that he has not yet established a firm foothold, if he fights with Ye Feng to the death, I am afraid
Li Ru also secretly signaled to Dong Zhuo, telling him not to act impulsively.

Only Lu Bu was confused and frowned: "Foster father, who is his son-in-law?"

"Why are you so afraid?"

Li Ru, who was standing by, lowered his voice and approached Lu Bu: "Ye Feng!!"

"Ye Feng?"

A complex look flashed across Lu Bu's eyes.

Actually, he and Ye Feng have some friendship, and they even sympathize with each other.

But as Ye Feng became famous all over the world, Lu Bu's jealousy completely turned into hatred.

He felt that Ye Feng just had a good background. If he, Lu Bu, had such a background, he would definitely do better than him.

Now that he has joined Dong Zhuo, he finally sees hope of surpassing Ye Feng. At this moment, he wants to defeat Ye Feng even more than Dong Zhuo.

"What's so special about Ye Feng?"

"Godfather, don't be afraid!"

"If he dares to come, I will offer Ye Feng's head!"
