Just like in history, after entering Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo became increasingly domineering and began to become arrogant and arrogant. And this Wenmingyuan banquet is the first step in Dong Zhuo's act of abolishing the establishment! A smile quietly appeared on the corner of Wu Hong's mouth, and he threw the bright red invitation aside casually, Wu Hong said loudly: "Zilong, go to the banquet with Benhou."
However, he said that because of Dong Zhuo's rampant behavior and arrogance, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang City did not have a good impression of him. However, Dong Zhuo controls the army in Luoyang City, and he is the most powerful person in Luoyang City, and no one intends to offend him. So when Dong Zhuo's invitation was delivered to the Baiguan Mansion, no one dared to refuse, and they all rushed to Wenming Garden within the stipulated time to attend the banquet. At this time, the Wenming Garden was full of prosperity. For this banquet, Dong Zhuo sent people to cover the ground with a ten-mile red carpet, and even hung colorful ropes on the trees, which can be described as extravagant.
At Wen Mingyuan's banquet that day, there were even more delicacies and wines, too many to count. And Dong Zhuo sat on the highest seat of the banquet seat, staring at the officials who came to the banquet with flickering eyes. By Dong Zhuo's side, Li Ru was standing with a pen, and whenever an official came, he would cross out a name on a pamphlet. What is recorded in this pamphlet is the roster of officials invited by Dong Zhuo.
Regardless of the outcome of the abolition of the establishment, the invited officials came to the banquet to express that they gave Dong Zhuo face. And if they gave Dong Zhuo face, Dong Zhuo would also give them a way out. As for those who were invited but did not come, when the banquet is over, what awaits them is a bloody massacre!
Seeing that the time for the banquet to start is approaching, Li Ru also put the last touches on the booklet. At this moment, Dong Zhuo turned sideways and asked: "How is the situation? Does anyone dare not attend a certain family's banquet?" Li Ru glanced at the pamphlet, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, everyone who should come has come, but Marquis Xingchen " The first name on the pamphlet was Xingchen Hou Wuhong. Now the roster of all the officials has been crossed out, indicating that they have all gone to the banquet, only Xing Chenhou's name is still hanging high on the booklet.
Staring at the bright red name that is somewhat eye-catching, Dong Zhuo felt unhappy, but at the same time he was a little rejoiced. What's displeased is that Xing Chenhou didn't give him face too much, and the only person he invited grandly didn't come to the banquet directly. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you don't come, as long as you express your intention to abolish the establishment, the Marquis of Xingchen will come forward to spoil your good deeds.
After all, Dong Zhuo couldn't make up his mind what Wu Hong was thinking. After a slight pause, Dong Zhuo said: "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet!" Li Ru promised, and when he was about to announce the start of the banquet, a high-pitched voice came from outside Wenming Garden!
"General Zhen Guo, Marquis of Xingchen, Master Wu Hong is here!" With a shout of welcoming guests, Wu Hong in a white robe stepped into the Wenming Garden with a swift pace, while Zhao Yun with a silver armor and silver spear stepped into the Wenming Garden with every step. He followed behind Wu Hong without leaving. Seeing Wu Hong's arrival, Dong Zhuo hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and said with a big smile, "General Zhen Guo is here, Zhong Ying is very honored! Zhong Ying has not greeted him from afar, and I hope General Zhen Guo will forgive me!" While his face was flushed and his face was soaring, Dong Zhuo began to worry again, what if the Marquis of Xing Chen was against him after he revealed his intentions?
However, after all, Dong Zhuo was a bit of a man of the city, even if he was uneasy, he never showed it, enthusiastically led the way, and placed Wu Hong in the only seat on the same level as himself at the banquet. And with Wu Hong's arrival, all the officials who came to the banquet also heaved a sigh of relief.
With this Marquis Xingchen who is more fierce than Dong Zhuo here, they finally don't have to worry about their own safety. With this person here, no matter how cruel Dong Zhuo is, he probably won't go on a killing spree, right? Afterwards, the banquet began, and time passed quietly in a lively atmosphere. After drinking for three rounds, the drunken Dong Zhuo stood up, stopped the music with a wave of his hand, and said loudly: "A certain family has something to say, please be quiet for now, my lords!"
Following Dong Zhuo's loud shout, the banquet suddenly fell silent. All the officials who came to the banquet stopped their movements and looked at Dong Zhuo quietly. There is no such thing as a good banquet, and all the officials knew this before going to the banquet. Now that the banquet is almost over, it's time for Dong Zhuo to reveal his purpose.
For a moment, everything in Wenming Garden was silent, and the atmosphere became dignified. Taking a deep breath, Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "The Son of Heaven is the lord of the people, and he cannot serve the ancestral temple without dignity!" He looked at Wu Hong with a guilty conscience, and saw that Wu Hong was still sitting in his seat alone, as if he didn't hear what he said, so he felt a little relieved, and continued: "Your Majesty is cowardly and weak, not as smart as King Chen Liu. Eager to learn! This official wants to abolish the Young Emperor and make King Chenliu the new king, what do you colleagues think?" After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, the Wen Ming Garden became even more dead silent, and the atmosphere became more and more dignified. BaiguanAlthough I already knew that Dong Zhuo's banquet had no good intentions, I didn't want to hear such important news at the banquet!
Abolish and establish a new king!
Dong Zhuo is just an assassin from another county, how dare he do this! For a moment, all the officials turned their attention to Wu Hong. Wu Hong's rank is the second-rank general of the Platinum Kingdom, and the title is the head of the princes, the Marquis of Xingchen. His personal military strength is unparalleled in the world, and he has invincible elite soldiers such as black armor and iron cavalry. If anyone can stop Dong Zhuo, it must be Wu Hong!
Not only the officials were waiting for Wu Hong's reaction, but even Dong Zhuo himself was waiting for Wu Hong's reaction. In several confrontations, Dong Zhuo has never gained anything from Wu Hong's hands. Even if he is not what he used to be, he has no intention of provoking Wu Hong. Therefore, Wu Hong's reaction directly affects his success or failure in dethroning the new king!
However, being stared at by many eyes, Wu Hong still sat there peacefully drinking by himself, without any intention of speaking. It was as if he hadn't heard Dong Zhuo's words at all! But when all the officials were in despair, a stern voice suddenly broke out: "Dong Zhuo, you are just a governor from another county, yet you uttered such arrogant words! The young emperor is the son of the late emperor, and he is not at fault. Don't talk about abolishing the establishment! Do you want to seek power and treason?" After being scolded in front of civil and military officials, Dong Zhuo's expression also became ferocious, and he looked murderously in the direction of the voice. It was discovered that the speaker was Ding Yuan, the governor of Jingzhou. Ding Yuan ignored Dong Zhuo's threat, and after finishing his sentence, he cupped his fists and said to Wu Hong, "General Zhen Guo, such a rebellious thing happened here, are you going to turn a blind eye?" Only then did he stop drinking and drinking, and said leisurely: "Jianyang Jun, don't you forget the identity of this Marquis!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
