What group are you guys?

Chapter 162 Take the initiative
The first day of November, the celestial phenomena are auspicious!
The young emperor Liu Bian, who had just been deposed for less than half a year, ascended the throne in the Weiyang Palace under the guidance of the imperial teacher Li Qingyuan.

The King of Chenliu, Liu Xie, was pulled down from the dragon throne by Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo and received a limited edition emperor experience card!

The three dukes and nine ministers watched this dramatic scene and felt their heads buzzing. Damn, when did you treat the emperor of the Han Dynasty as a plug-in? Can you still play like this?
Just looking at the pile of heads that had just been chopped off, no one dared to provoke the stupid Dong Zhuo!

When the news was announced just now, a group of powerful generals of the Xiliang Army immediately jumped out to oppose it. Although changing the emperor would not harm any interests of these people at all, they felt that such a thing could never be agreed to.

We are not fools, so we can all see that Dong Zhuo is now preparing to hand over all the power in his hands to that pretty boy named Li Qingyuan!

Naturally, they would never agree to such a thing.

Ever since Dong Zhuo had no heir, various military leaders felt that they could become the second generation leader of the Western Liang Army. This is also the main reason why Lu Bu was ostracized by the entire Western Liang Army.

And now, Dong Zhuo is actually planning to change the emperor back according to what that pretty boy said?
This was like a bolt from the blue to those who knew Dong Zhuo's character.

When would Boss Dong admit his mistake? This was not the Boss Dong they knew, he must have been impersonated!

Unlike the teams led by other aristocratic families, the Xiliang Legion and Bingzhou Army led by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were all fought with the leader's own strong strength. Although those subordinates were under his leadership, they all had their own base. The relationship between the two was more like that of superiors and subordinates than that of large and small shareholders of a company.

So even when facing Dong Zhuo, these Xiliang military leaders dared to protest.

But that’s it!
Soon they discovered that Boss Dong’s temper had not changed at all, and had even become even more brutal!

Lu Bu personally took action and killed those who were shouting.

To be honest, all the ministers were shocked when they saw this scene.

You have to know that those who were killed were all arrogant and fierce bandits under Dong Zhuo. How could Dong Zhuo be so crazy now that he even killed his own people?
Would this guy suddenly die and take all of them with him?
Although from the perspective of a normal person's thinking, Dong Zhuo should not dare to do that, but who can guarantee the thoughts of a mentally ill person?

So when Li Qingyuan was later appointed as the national teacher, none of these people dared to resist.

The title of "National Master" only appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and never existed in the Han Dynasty. However, everyone here is a well-educated person, and you can know what the title means just by hearing the name.

So having only Grand Tutor Dong isn’t enough, and now we have to add Grand Tutor Li?
This big guy, he's going to have to take the pill!
But before these old foxes could figure out how to place their bets, a few people who walked in from outside shocked their brains again.

Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan were only slightly famous in the local area, and the bigwigs in the court were not familiar with them, but they knew Cao Cao and the Yuan brothers!

Aren't these people the main fighting force among the Guandong lords? How did they get here?
The princes from Kanto have invaded? But it doesn't look like that!

What followed developed directly exceeded these people's expectations. No one had expected that the best of these five princes, who in the minds of most people had a high chance of becoming the next Dong Zhuo, would actually surrender directly to Dong Zhuo?
Although Yuan Shao's slogan was that they gave up revenge for the sake of justice after seeing Dong Zhuo turn over a new leaf and return the throne to Liu Bian, and put national justice above family hatred, it is definitely an example that all Han people should learn from.

But right.

Naturally, none of those who can become high-ranking officials are fools.

Even though everyone had no idea how the battle went outside Hulao Pass because the news had been cut off, it was clear from the looks of Yuan Shao and the others that there was probably no fight.

Bigwigs like Yang Biao and Wang Yun couldn't help but curse in their hearts, these princes are really useless!

They were all trying their best to hinder Dong Zhuo's progress, especially Yuan Shao, who claimed to have a million-strong coalition army. But the Xiliang Army didn't even leave the city, and Lu Bu's tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops alone defeated the coalition army?
So what if they were defeated? Even Yuan Shao, the nominal leader of the alliance, came directly to Luoyang to lick his boots. This is simply disgraceful!

Why are you so useless?
However, no matter how disdainful they are in their hearts, these big guys still attach great importance to their appearance, and naturally they will not make such low-level mistakes as losing control of their facial expressions.

Indeed, the thousand-year-old family was really powerful. Even in the later period, even Li Shimin, who was known as the governor of Asia, had to smile when facing the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

But!
No matter how powerful a noble family is, it cannot be more powerful than the imperial power!

Not to mention Huang Chao who killed people according to the family tree, whether it was Tuoba Tao who killed the entire Cui family or Erzhu Rong who launched the Yellow River swimming challenge, it shows that although the aristocratic family sounds extremely noble, once the person in power is not afraid of the net being broken, the final result will definitely be the death of all the fish, and you don’t know if you can escape even if the net is broken!
As a result, this court meeting was conducted unusually harmoniously. Yuan Shao, on behalf of the Guandong princes, congratulated Liu Bian on his restoration to the throne. He also said that it was just a misunderstanding before, and that in the future he would definitely contribute to the construction of the Han Dynasty under the leadership of the two adults, the National Master and the Grand Master, and under the command of the Emperor.

Originally, Li Qingyuan was planning to directly order Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others to expand the territory. After all, the reason why he did not kill these people was to let them conquer a large territory.

When I read historical texts in the past, I always felt that those time travelers had nothing to do. Even though they had absolute overwhelming strength, they still had to make trouble at home. You have to know that in a civil war at home, no matter who wins or loses, it will damage one's own interests!

It would be better to gather all these people together and let them go out to fight.

You have to know that the Han Dynasty at that time only had a territory of more than 5 million square kilometers. Not to mention the distance from dominating the world, there was still a big gap compared with the 960 in later generations!
Rather than letting all the heroes of the Three Kingdoms die in the civil war, it would be better to let them fight against the outside world one by one and conquer a great empire.

If there are really people who are ambitious and capable, it would not be impossible to occupy India and Egypt and make them kings!
But this idea cannot be realized for the time being, because there are still a lot of things to do later!
So many troublemakers were killed in the Xiliang Army this time that even if Dong Zhuo was the leader, he still needed to go down and appease them. Yuan Shao and others also needed to return to the camp to gather the remaining soldiers so as to restore the disrupted order as soon as possible.

As for whether there will be any consequences if Yuan Shao and others are released?
Li Qingyuan said that he gave these people a chance to reform because they were important people, but if someone really wanted to die, he would never stop them!
