Chapter 979: A plan to conquer the king and disrupt the world


    Chapter 977: A plan to conquer the king and disrupt the world


    The strategy of enthroning the king offered by Jia Xu is actually to imitate the overlords and enthrone the princes in the world, so as to break the old pattern set by Emperor Gaozu of Han and create a new era opened by Dong Zhuo.


    Of course, it is not that easy to implement the plan to be crowned king successfully.


    First of all, the Emperor of Han must be controlled by him.


    Secondly, that is, the time for the ban, must be chosen when the prestige of the Han Dynasty is the lowest.


    Now Dong Zhuo uses the emperor to command the princes. The emperor is just a puppet in his hands. Dong Zhuo''s order is the imperial edict of the Han emperor.


    Before Zhang Jiao died, he denounced the Han Dynasty as the princes in front of the world, which aroused the ambitions in the hearts of the princes.


    After Dong Zhuo took over the court, he killed the young emperor, slept with the queen mother, and slaughtered the family... This also made the Han Dynasty lose the last fig leaf.


    Today''s Han Dynasty has no majesty at all. Even the people at the bottom know that the change of dynasty is not far away, so this is the best time to implement the plan of enthroning the king, and Dong Zhuo is the only candidate to start a new era.


    Once the plan of enthronement of the king is implemented, Dong Zhuo can not only seek to enthrone the king for himself, but also use supreme resources to divide the world and establish mountains and rivers like the King of Chu.


    I''m afraid no one can refuse such a temptation, but Dong Zhuo still has some concerns in his heart.


    The ambitions in the hearts of the princes in the world are like beasts locked in cages, while Feng Wang Ce is the key to opening the cages. Dong Zhuo was also afraid that he would be out of control.


    "Military advisor, once this policy is implemented, wouldn''t it be equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the advantage of having the emperor?"


    Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not want to give up the benefit of "using the emperor to command the princes", Jia Xu replied after a brief thought: "Lord, now is different from the past. Our Liang army is already an enemy in the world. Although the emperor and all officials are in the hands of our army, no princes will obey the imperial edict.


    Besides, even if the plan of enthroning the king is implemented, the emperor is still in your hands. You can still use the emperor as the emperor of the Han family to attack the unjust ministers under the banner of the Han emperor. ”


    Dong Zhuo couldn''t help but sigh when he heard this. Jia Xu was right. It was indeed not much difference whether the emperor was in his hands or not, because no princes would obey the imperial edict he issued, so it would be better to use the last remaining energy of having the emperor.


    Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, Jia Xu was ready to add a lot of fire, so he asked, "I dare to ask, lord, do you want to be king?"


    After hearing this, Dong Zhuo''s eyes immediately condensed, but inexplicably remembered what Zhang Jiao said before his death, and couldn''t help but say in a deep voice: "The Miscellaneous Family is not just trying to be king. The Han Dynasty is injustice, which has led to the people of the world being in trouble, and the Miscellaneous Family will definitely replace it."


    "Lord, even if you are afraid of your head and tail, how can you talk about being independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty? This is just the first step."


    Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this. After pondering for a long time, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes and asked, "Military advisor, if the plan for the title of king is implemented, how many princes will receive the order?"


    Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that the matter had been mostly done. He immediately smiled and said, "Most of the princes are hypocritical and will not directly receive the imperial edict in Luoyang, but the coalition of princes will definitely retreat because of this.


    After returning to his territory, except for some princes who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, most princes would definitely accept the imperial edict. ”


    Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this and said, "The military advisor''s plan is so short. With the military advisor''s assistance, why worry about the world." "The lord''s praise is a miserable thing, and it is Xu''s duty to share his worries for the lord."


    The next day, Dong Zhuo summoned all his ministers to discuss the implementation of the plan to enthrone the king.


    Most of the Liang army ministers initially opposed the implementation, believing that this strategy was the root of cholera in the world. However, when they learned about the benefits of the King''s Plan to the Liang army, most people turned to believe that this strategy should be implemented, and that a small number of those who opposed it were powerless to stop it.


    In the morning court a few days later, the ministers under Dong Zhuo collectively wrote letters to praise Dong Zhuo''s achievements and threatened the young emperor Liu Xie to make Dong Zhuo the King of Liang.


    Several old Han officials stood up and scolded them, but all of them were killed by Dong Zhuo. No one in the court''s civil and military service said anything. At this point, Dong Zhuo''s reign was no longer hindered from becoming king.


    Although Dong Zhuo was arrogant, he was not arrogant and directly called the king. Instead, he accepted it after rejecting it three times. The plan to enthrone the king was officially implemented, and Dong Zhuo was the first to become king.


    In Luoyang, the coalition forces and the Liang army are still negotiating, but Dong Zhuo''s actions of becoming king were like a bolt from the blue, shocking that all the princes could not speak.


    The first step in the armistice negotiations is that Dong Zhuo surrendered to the position of Liang Gong, but not only did Dong Zhuo not surrendered to the title, he also became king with great strength. Isn’t this slap all the princes in the face? But the princes couldn''t do anything to Dong Zhuo.


    The coalition forces really can no longer hold on. This is not only reflected in the food and grass, but also in the fact that the major princes left their territory for so long, and their territory showed signs of various instability.


    So even if Dong Zhuo is not king, if the negotiations continue, the major princes can only retreat on their own, because they have reached the point where they have to withdraw.


    The people''s actions of Dong Zhuo as king are naturally full of theories, but except for Kansai, most areas are full of condemnation.


    Dong Zhuo''s reputation is really bad. Anything he does, even good things that benefit the country and the people, will still be controversial.


    But it was still far behind that the world was shocked. No one expected that Dong Zhuo would even enfeoff other princes as kings shortly after he became queen.


    The first to be granted by Dong Zhuo were the five characters and the three county kings, namely: King Qin Wen of Jin, King Liu Yan of Shu, King Liu Yao of Huai, King Liu He of Yan, King Liu Ji of Ba, Liu Bei of Pingyuan, Liu Bei of Xiangyang, and Liu Che of Beiping.


    Among these eight kings, except for Qin Wen, who is a foreign surname, the other seven are all relatives of the Han Dynasty. This undoubtedly pushed Qin Wen to the forefront. In addition, he also secretly planned to plot against Liu Che and Liu Xiu.


    Although Dong Zhuo knew that Liu Che inherited Liu Yu''s position, he named Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, as the King of Yan, but he named Liu Che as the Prince. This was obviously intended to provoke internal struggles in the Youzhou army.


    Even Liu Xiu, who had betrayed him, had made him the King of Xiangyang unwilling to betray him, but this was also uneasy. After all, Xiangyang was in Qin Hao''s hands, and Dong Zhuo''s move was obviously to encourage Qin Hao to fight against Liu Xiu.


    As for other princes who were not from the Liu surname, Dong Zhuo was not a title of king, but a duke who was equal to the title of king. Obviously, he also knew that it was difficult to convince people to reach the sky in one step.


    The countries enthroned by Dong Zhuo are: Qin Duke Qin Hao, Zhao Duke Yuan Shao, Yu Duke Yuan Shu, Wei Duke Cao Cao, Wu Duke Sun Jian, Lu Duke Tao Qian, Han Duke Han Fu, Liao Duke Sun Zan, Qi Duke Huang Chao, Zheng Duke Wang Shichong, Wei Duke Li Mi, Liang Duke Song Jiang...
