Chapter 717 Emperor Ling Passed Away, Dong Zhuo Entered the Capital!

Due to the use of his own political tactics by Emperor Liu Hong, a delicate balance was constantly maintained between the three forces, so that although the parties had wins and losses, it was always difficult to determine the decisive victory or defeat.

After this stalemate lasted for many days, the gods who had originally had the upper hand and were looking forward to being able to decide the outcome in one fell swoop gradually lost their patience, and their dissatisfaction gradually erupted like a volcano.

After all, they spent a lot of time and energy scheming, but failed to reap the expected results. Isn't this a waste of their efforts?

Facing the complaints of the gods, Xiao seemed to be keenly aware of the resentment of the people.

After careful consideration and repeated discussions and weighing with the top leaders, a new rule came into being - the personal value scoring system.

This rule is specially set up for those who serve in the court, aiming to solve the problem when both parties can neither completely expel the other party from the officialdom nor kill them.

Under this rule, the God Network will evaluate each person on the list. For example, if an official is determined to have a value of 100 points, then he is worth 100 mana shares.

After that, the behavior and performance of these officials will directly affect their own value every year.

At the same time, the spiritual chips bet on them will also change with the increase or decrease of the value of these officials.

If you bet on the wrong person by mistake, the precious spiritual chips you have will be greatly reduced;

But if you are lucky and have a good vision, and bet on the right person, the spiritual chips will naturally rise and grow.

Now, because of the addition of such an exciting new rule, the calculations between the gods will not be in vain.

The mutual calculations between the gods have become more and more serious, and the situation in the entire court has become more and more confusing.

No matter who it is, there will be more or less losses and wins,

and this uncertainty just ignites the fire of desire that has been hidden deep in the hearts of the gods for a long time.

Even those great gods who have already entered the realm of the fifth rank or above could not hold back their excitement at this moment, and took out their precious chips accumulated for many years and invested in this fierce gambling game.

Time passed quickly, like a white horse passing by.

In a blink of an eye, it was the special day of Bingchen Day in April of the sixth year of Zhongping.

On this day, the ruler of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Hong, breathed his last in his Nangong Jiade Hall, ending his short 33-year life journey.

After the death of the emperor, the court gave him the posthumous title of "Xiaoling" according to convention.

With the departure of Emperor Ling of Han, the once powerful Han Dynasty seemed to have lost its last pillar, and the only remaining trace of luck also quietly dissipated like a candle in the wind.

At this moment, the situation in the world was turbulent, and various forces were ready to move.

The great gods saw the opportunity and placed their bets one after another, carefully selecting the people of destiny who could lead the trend of the times in their minds.

At the same time, Liu Hong also left a will, but this will did not play a big role and still became a piece of waste paper.

He Jin, a general with a large army, and the ten eunuchs who were powerful in the court and the country, started a dispute over who would be the new emperor, Liu Bian or Liu Xie.

They all knew that no matter who succeeded, they would not tolerate the other party. Therefore, the contradiction between the two sides became more and more acute and had reached an irreconcilable point.

Liu Bian was the crown prince, and Liu Xie was the will.

In order to compete for control of the court, He Jin and the ten eunuchs were on the verge of a fight and refused to give in.

However, after a fierce debate and power struggle, the eldest son inheritance system finally won the most widespread support.

When the young emperor ascended the throne, because he was still young and could not handle government affairs independently, the queen mother came to the court to act as regent.

At the same time, He Jin and Taifu Yuan Wei were appointed as assistant ministers to jointly control the power of the court.

At that time, the power of the eunuch group was growing, gradually threatening the stability and rule of the court.

He Jin knew that this problem must be eradicated, so he secretly discussed countermeasures with Yuan Shao and others and decided to eradicate these powerful eunuchs.

In order to increase their chances of winning, they also deliberately dispatched Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, to lead a large army to Beijing, attempting to coerce the queen mother to agree to their actions.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Somehow, He Jin's conspiracy was leaked, and the news reached the ears of the eunuchs.

This group of insidious and cunning eunuchs would naturally not sit and wait for death. They took advantage of He Jin's unpreparedness and assassinated him in front of the Jiade Hall.

This sudden incident made the situation instantly chaotic.

At this time, Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, who received a secret order, led an elite force to rush into Beijing.

Dong Zhuo was an ambitious man. He saw the opportunity, quickly controlled the situation, and declared that he would avenge General He Jin and kill the Ten Constant Attendants.

Soon after, the capital fell into turmoil, but Dong Zhuo made great contributions in saving the emperor in this chaos.

Relying on the powerful military power in his hands, Dong Zhuo began to expand his sphere of influence.

He first recruited the fierce general Lu Bu, made him betray and kill his adoptive father Ding Yuan, and successfully incorporated Ding Yuan's army.

Then, Dong Zhuo cleverly used various means to quickly annex the two major warlord forces nearby, further strengthening his military power.

After that, Dong Zhuo became more and more arrogant and domineering, and did not take the emperor and the court seriously at all.

He abolished the Shaodi Liu Bian and established the Xiandi Liu Xie to ascend the throne.

Not only that, not long after, he brutally killed the young emperor and Empress Dowager He, and completely monopolized the power of the government.

For a time, Dong Zhuo's reputation spread far and wide, shocking the world, and became a powerful official feared by everyone.

In the court, Dong Zhuo acted recklessly and placed his confidants in various important positions;

In life, he usurped the etiquette, used clothes and carriages that were almost the same as those of the emperor, and enjoyed supreme wealth and glory.

In the end, Dong Zhuo was appointed as the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister, and was granted the title of Marquis of Mei. He was a high-ranking official with power over the court and the country.

Dong Zhuo's various atrocities trampled the dignity and glory accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years under his feet and turned it into dust.

At the same time, this also made the various princes deeply realize a cruel reality: the emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses.

During this period of time, the situation was turbulent and unpredictable. This series of turmoil and changes directly angered the gods who were high above, and they were furious!

The reason was that those gods who had originally bet on He Jin, the Ten Eunuchs or Yuan Wei all suffered heavy losses at this moment, and lost everything!
