With Ding Yuan being killed and Lü Bu defecting to his side, Dong Zhuo became even more powerful. In the early morning of the next day, Xiliang troops arrived in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo's momentum was unparalleled. He took the opportunity to take over the Northern Army's fifth school and the city gate captain.

military power.

After Chen Mo, celebrities from Luoyang began to defect to Dong Zhuo one after another.

Dong Zhuozhi was so satisfied that he once again discussed with his ministers the matter of abolishing the establishment. Yuan Shao had left Luoyang, Ding Yuan was also dead, and no one in Luoyang could stop Dong Zhuo anymore. Even though the edict had been destroyed, the situation was determined.

, the abolition of the establishment has become a foregone conclusion.

In front of the Chongde Hall, with all the officials watching silently, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei sighed, took off the seal ribbon Liu Bian was wearing, and gave it to Chen Bian, which also represented the handover of the throne.

King Chen Liu officially ascended the throne, and Liu Bian, with the support of Yuan Wei, came down and proclaimed himself a minister to the new emperor. At this point, the deposed matter came to an end. In the Chongde Hall, Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He were seen being sent away

After leaving, many ministers knelt down and cried bitterly.

It took Dong Zhuo a total of five days from entering the capital to deposing the emperor. Although the move of deposing the emperor was criticized, his vigorous and resolute methods were indeed quite decisive. If Yuan Shao had had the courage, he would not be where he is today.

As a scholar who defected to Dong Zhuo before the situation was completely clear, Chen Mo was appointed by Dong Zhuo as Sili Xiaowei, and his subordinates were expanded to five divisions.

The rank of Sili Xiaowei is also higher than that of two thousand stones, but his duties and powers are no longer like those of military school captains who only manage the army. They have the power to supervise local areas and have greater autonomy. This position was previously held by Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said with some envy: "It seems that my wise brother has made the right choice again."

"Good luck and misfortunes are unpredictable!" Chen Mo checked his luck and destiny again. After taking over as the Sili Colonel, there was no fluctuation. However, Dong Zhuo promoted him to the Sili Colonel just after he was abolished. Anyone with a discerning eye would see it.

It can be seen that this is a treatment only given to close associates. In other words, Chen Mo has voted for Dong Zhuo. As a result, there will be more people in Luoyang who are hostile to him.

"Do you have any plans next?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Now that I have taken over the post of Sili Xiaowei, I should naturally do some practical things and monitor the surrounding areas of the capital. No matter what I do now, it is wrong for the scholars, but I have to do it, so let's just do business.

Okay." Chen Mo said with a smile: "In addition, my subordinates are now engaged in the post of assistant, so I have to find some people."

"It might have been easy to find before, but now I'm afraid..." Cao Cao shook his head. Chen Mo was very popular among Taiyuan College. If there hadn't been such a thing, Chen Mo could still find a few good talents with his connections in Taiyuan College.

Yes, but now, I'm afraid most people are avoiding him.

"Let's look for it. If it doesn't work, choose from the army." Chen Mo said with a smile.

After the two left the palace, they separated. Chen Mo took over the command of the Sili Lieutenant. The new one was transferred from the original Central Military Academy of Yuan Shao. There would be some resistance to the new arrival. He had to sort out the army first. As for the

Chen Mo wanted to find Li Qing, who was working as a subordinate. He was very capable, but he didn't know if he would be willing to work with him.

Chen Mo went to Xiyuan first and took away the soldiers and horses. Sili Xiaowei had his own station and could not stay in Xiyuan any longer. After Yuan Shao's army commander heard that Chen Mo was leading the army, he quit directly, and Chen Mo didn't force it.

, ordered Dian Wei to serve as Army Sima.

In the afternoon, Chen Mo was in the Yamen Office away from Sili Xiaowei's copywriting, when he saw Da Lang coming in, saluted Chen Mo and said: "General, Yang Xiu wants to see you."

Chen Mo had a habitual headache and nodded: "Invite him in."

"Here!"

In fact, Chen Mo is not disgusted with Yang Xiu. He is talented and has a good character. He just loves to be more serious.

"Brother Chen!" Soon, Yang Xiu strode in and said to Chen Mo, "You actually took refuge in Thief Dong?"

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded.

"Why?" Yang Xiu frowned and said, "Dong Zhuo is good at deposing people. Brother Chen can't see how harmful this move is to the Han Dynasty?"

"I can see it, but there is nothing I can do." Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiudao: "I offered my advice to Lord Ben Chu twice. If you listen to me, you won't end up like today. I have done everything I can do. I can't do anything.

He is a captain."

"You surrender if you can't fight?" Yang Xiu frowned. Scholars value integrity. It was difficult for him to understand Chen Mo's approach of simply joining the opponent if he couldn't defeat him.

"What else? I will lead the army to fight Dong Zhuo?" Chen Mo raised his eyelids and asked: "Luoyang needs stability. As soon as Lord Benchu ​​left, he had already annexed He Jin's troops. He was the only one who could integrate all the ministries in Luoyang. He once

Let's go, no one can stop Dong Zhuo anymore. Even if I try my best, I will only add thousands more dead souls. I might as well do what I can to stabilize Luoyang as soon as possible."

Yang Xiu still couldn't accept it: "Brother Chen can also abandon his official position."

Chen Mo rubbed his temples and looked at Yang Xiudao: "There must be many people who have the same thoughts as Brother Yang about the abolition of the establishment, but this will not be good for the big man, and will only make the already turbulent society more chaotic.

Which one is more important, the honor and disgrace of one person or the safety of the world?"

Looking at Yang Xiu, Chen Mo's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yang, I know that you, like others, think that I am here for wealth and power. Why not do this? You work for me temporarily to see if I am just for wealth."

Noble."

"Brother Chen is so scheming!" Yang Xiu said speechlessly, he was here to challenge the enemy.

"There is no way, Brother Yang comes to question me like this, let alone others? I'm afraid no one in the Taiyuan Academy is willing." Chen Mo said helplessly: "But I believe that Brother Yang will stay, for no other reason than to see

See if I, Chen Mo, am a villain clinging to power."

"That's fine." Yang Xiu frowned and thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Xiu really doesn't believe that Brother Chen is this kind of person, so it can be considered as a help to Brother Chen."

"I'll leave these papers to Brother Yang. I have to go to inspect the Yanshi area. I'll take my leave first. In addition, I also ask Brother Yang to contact Li Qing to see if he is willing to take up the post of false assistant." Chen Mo put the pen in his hand.

As soon as he threw it away, he stood up and walked out, leaving Yang Xiu looking at the pile of bamboo slips on the table in trance.

…

Nowadays, Chen Mo is being criticized everywhere in Luoyang. It seems like overnight, Chen Mo has become the target of thousands of people. Some people even went to Zang's house to throw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs.

In fact, it was just to vent his dissatisfaction and inability to Dong Zhuo on Chen Mo. He was a little unjust. But when he decided to go to Dong Zhuo, Chen Mo had already been mentally prepared. Luoyang celebrities, who are so rhetorical, would really let them do something.

No, but everyone is better at criticizing and criticizing others. Chen Mo was going to go out to avoid it. It would be better to have fewer unnecessary conflicts.

The chaos in Luoyang during this period also had an impact on surrounding counties. The most important point is that the binding force of the imperial power on local areas was greatly reduced, so that serious corruption and disobedience occurred in several counties, including Yanshi.

, the edict issued by the imperial court today has not been implemented.

From the beginning of He Jin to the present when Liu Xie came to power, he granted amnesty to the country three times. However, Chen Mo found that the prisons in various counties were still overcrowded, and the imperial court had some tax reduction policies at the beginning of the year, but they were not implemented.

This is still near the capital, and it is hard to imagine what the situation is like in other places.

"Chen Mo, you'd better leave this matter alone." Yan Shiling was obviously not prepared for Chen Mo's sudden arrival, but he was not afraid either.

"Take it!" Chen Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly ordered people to take down Yanshi's order. Facing the menacing imperial army, a group of Yanshi county guards dared to take action. Seeing Chen Mo connecting with the county magistrate, the county captain was inside Yanshi.

The officials arrested them all.

"I thought it would be a lot cleaner when I came out, but now it seems that I have overthought it." Chen Mo flipped through the account books of the government office. There were many inconsistencies that he could see, let alone what he couldn't see.

"General, we only have the power of supervision, not the power of taking people." Gao Shun came to Chen Mo and whispered.

"Then send someone to report it. We'll wait here." Chen Mo threw the bamboo slips on the desk, summoned someone, and asked him to report directly to Li Ru.

Yanshi is a warning to the monkeys. Chen Mo is not planning to go to other counties. The situation is probably similar. If the Yanshi order is strictly enforced, people in other counties will be more restrained.

At this time, we should give priority to stability and really punish all the county officials. The surrounding areas of Luoyang must first be in chaos.

Li Ru also reacted very quickly. He probably had similar thoughts to Chen Mo. However, Dong Zhuo was busy with court matters and had no time to take care of the surrounding area. Now that Chen Mo has taken action, there is no need to be polite and he directly sends someone to replace Yan Shi.

At the same time, he also sent a letter from Li Ru.

Li Ru was also worried that Chen Mo would attack the magistrates of the counties around Luoyang just after he took office. Dong Zhuo did not have many people who could replace the magistrates. He asked Chen Mo to pay attention to the defense of the surrounding checkpoints to appease the morale of the army. Li Ru was worried that

The princes of the town took advantage of this incident and sent troops to Luoyang in the name of King Qin. The checkpoints around Luoyang were particularly important.

King Qin!

Chen Mo looked at Li Ru's letter and thought for a while. It was really possible. After all, since the restoration of state animal husbandry, the power of state and county officials has greatly increased and they have their own military power.

Chen Mo followed his words and returned to Luoyang after a tour of the Eight Passes. It was already a few days later. Dong Zhuo had already checked out Luoyang in the past few days. Huang Wan, Yuan Wei and others all agreed to join him, and he also met with Huang Wan and Yang Biao.

They reached a consensus and prepared to rehabilitate Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the scholars who were arrested and killed due to party ban at that time.

This move indeed won the hearts of many scholars. When Chen Mo returned to Luoyang, the scholars were much less hostile to him. During this time, Yang Xiu helped Chen Mo alienate the copywriters of the Sili Xiaowei Mansion, and Li Qing also agreed.

Be Chen Mo’s assistant.

The political situation in Luoyang has stabilized a lot. At the same time, Dong Zhuo was appointed as Taiwei and former general. The new emperor Liu Xie was indeed more suitable to be emperor than Liu Bian. When Chen Mo came to court, the young emperor was very organized in his speech and behavior.

It's just that Dong Zhuo's dismissal of Empress Dowager He was a little inappropriate. After all, she was still a member of the royal family. Even if she had done it, it was not the ministers' turn to interfere. What's more, the Empress Dowager He was poisoned and killed the next day. This is not a good thing.

Omen, how can you kill a member of the royal family on the spur of the moment?
