Everyone couldn't help being anxious, so the emperor should be the one to speak. If the minister spoke, wouldn't Dong Zhuo be given the opportunity to find a gap? At this moment, King Chen Liu, who was younger than the emperor, suddenly reined in his horse and stepped forward, plucking up the courage to rebuke: "Who is coming?" Dong Zhuo was greatly surprised, but he had to answer such a question, so he replied: "Xiliang Inspector Dong Zhuo." King Chenliu said, "Are you here to hijack your car? Or to escort you?" Dong Zhuo replied quickly: "I'm here to escort you!"

King Chenliu asked, "Since you are here to escort, the emperor is here, why don't you get off your horse?" Dong Zhuo was startled, immediately got off his horse and knelt down on the left side of the road. Only then did King Chen Liu comfort him, "The general deserves to be a good minister of the Son of Heaven. He has traveled a long way and came here to escort him. It is really commendable. The current disaster in the capital is caused by the eunuchs fighting together. Fortunately, there are a group of civil and military officials in the court who are utterly loyal. Witty and brave, he has killed the eunuchs and eliminated the root cause of the disaster. The court has returned to stability and normality, so there is no need to worry, everything is in order, and you can proceed as usual!"

King Chen Liu didn't say much, but he explained the whole story very clearly, and there was no aphasia from the beginning to the end.Dong Zhuo was very surprised, and couldn't help looking up at the young prince, thinking: This is the material for a real emperor, how can it be compared with the young emperor Liu Bian? At the same time, he also thought that King Chen Liu was Dong Taihuang Raised by the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager Dong is of the same family as Dong Zhuonai.Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he was getting closer to King Chen Liu emotionally, so an attempt was made to abolish Liu Bian in order to establish King Chen Liu.

Early this morning, a group of people returned to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army accompanied the emperor in the name of escort, but Huangfusong's soldiers and horses were inconvenient to stop them, so Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army had to enter Luoyang. When Empress Dowager He heard that the emperor was back, she hurried to the Jiade Hall to meet him.When the young emperor ascended the palace, he couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the queen mother.The Empress Dowager was also full of sorrow and joy, and the mother and son embraced each other in public and wept. The emperor ascended the court on the same day, and after some turmoil, it seemed as if a new sky had been changed.Therefore, at the suggestion of the officials, Guangxi was changed to Zhaoning.Just like ascending to the emperor's throne, he once again amnesty the world, and issued an edict to appease the Luoyang security forces and the various legions in Sili District to rectify the morale of the army.

Although the imperial court was full of joy, another very unpleasant thing happened, that is, on the second day after the change of the reign name, when checking the royal belongings, it was found that a very important thing was missing. The counting personnel secretly told the Queen Mother: "I can't find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo." The queen mother asked people to search carefully, but there was still no trace.The queen mother had no choice but to inform the emperor, and said: "No matter what, don't make it public, let someone investigate it secretly." In this way, an ominous shadow was cast over the seemingly cheerful new government.

Since Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army into Luoyang, he was unwilling to leave. He stationed a large army outside Luoyang city, which was tantamount to a great threat to Luoyang. Huangfusong, who put the interests of the court as the most important thing, resigned his military post resolutely when he had nothing to do with Dong Zhuo's troops in Luoyang, and returned to his hometown when he was old.He believes that only in this way can he avoid conflicts with Dong Zhuo and endanger the newly stabilized court. But Dong Zhuo thought that he had meritorious service in the escort, and he led the armored army into the city every day, rampantly demonstrating in the streets, causing panic among the people.

Seeing this, Situ Wangyun wrote a letter recommending Ding Yuan as Zhi Jinwu. Although Zhi Jinwu had a strong military force, Ding Yuan's prestige was much worse than Huangfu Song's, so Dong Zhuo didn't take him seriously at first. , Still bringing iron armored troops into the city every day, rampant in the streets. All officials in the court were very angry about this, and people remembered Zheng Tai's words against transferring Dong Zhuo to Beijing. Now it seems that Zheng Tai's worries are completely correct, and now Dong Zhuo has fully exposed his ambitions.But when things have come to this, who can do anything? Only sigh.

Captain Bao Xin privately said to Yuan Shao: "Dong Zhuo has a strong army, and he will have different ambitions. If he doesn't pursue it, he will be restrained by him. It's better to take a surprise attack when the Xiliang army has just arrived in the capital and its foothold is not stable. If you attack him with any method, you will surely defeat his army, and take this opportunity to capture Dong Zhuo, so as to avoid future troubles..." Yuan Shao also felt that what Bao Xin said was reasonable, but Yuan Shao, who was never decisive, had many worries. He was afraid that this matter would fail, and instead angered Dong Zhuo, giving him an excuse to mess around. Eunuch, everyone wants to settle down, how can we use swords again?"

Bao Xin went to see Wang Yun again, hoping that Wang Yun would adopt his suggestion and get rid of Dong Zhuo as soon as possible.Wang Yun also said: "Dong Zhuo has many soldiers and horses, so it may not be possible to catch him. It is better to take the method of containment, and we will talk about it later when we have a mature opportunity." Bao Xin could only shake his head, sighed, and returned to Mount Tai with his troops.
