Xie, the second son of Emperor Ling. Dong Zhuo forced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an and burned down the ancestral temples of Luoyang. In the first month of the first year of Chuping, the commanderies and provinces east of the pass all raised troops to punish Zhuo, electing Yuan Shao, the Grand Administrator of Bohai, as alliance leader. Cao Cao, Colonel of the Disciplinary Forces, and Sun Jian, Grand Administrator of Changsha, also raised troops to punish Zhuo. From then on, Sun Jian rose in Jiangzhe, Yuan Shao occupied You and Bing, Liu Biao held Jing and Chu, and Liu Zhang occupied Shu and Han. Dong Zhuo was cruel and prone to slaughter, so that people had no way to live. In the third year of Chuping, Minister over the Masses Wang Yun, Colonel Director of Retainers Huang Wan, and others secretly plotted to assassinate Zhuo. Household General Lü Bu possessed extraordinary physical strength, and Zhuo always used Bu as his personal guard. Yun informed him of the plan to assassinate Zhuo, and Bu agreed. In the fourth month, the emperor had just recovered from an illness and held a great gathering in Weiyang Palace. Zhuo wore his court robes and entered in a carriage. Bu held a spear and stabbed Zhuo, and urged the soldiers to cut him down. The common people celebrated one another, singing and dancing in the streets. In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to make his capital at Xu—present-day Xu Prefecture in Bianliang Route—and Cao was appointed Minister of Works, while Liu Bei was appointed Inspector of Yu Province. Chaos broke out throughout the world with troops rising everywhere. In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu declared himself emperor at Shouchun—present-day Anfeng Route in Huaxi. In the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was enfeoffed as Duke of Wei and conferred the Nine Bestowals (for the Nine Bestowals, see under Emperor Ping of the Former Han above). In the seventh month, Wei first established its altars of soil and grain and its ancestral temples. In the eleventh month, Wei first established the Masters of Writing, Palace Attendants, and the Six Ministers. In the nineteenth year, Liu Bei besieged Chengdu, and Liu Zhang opened the city and surrendered. In the second month of the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao, Duke of Wei, returned to Ye—present-day Zhangde Route in Shanxi. In the fifth month, Cao's title was advanced to King. In the twenty-second year, an imperial decree granted Cao, King of Wei, the right to set up the banners of the Son of Heaven, to have the routes cleared upon entering and exiting, to wear a cap with twelve tassels, to ride in a golden-rooted carriage drawn by six horses, and to be accompanied by subsidiary chariots for the five seasons; his son Pi was established as crown prince. In the seventh month, jihai, of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei claimed the title of King of Hanzhong. Cao Cao memorialized for Sun Quan to become General of Agile Cavalry with delegated credentials, concurrently serving as Governor of Jing Province, and enfeoffed him as Marquis of Nanchang. In the first month of the gengzi year, Cao arrived at Luoyang and passed away at the age of sixty-six. Crown Prince Pi succeeded to the royal throne, naming the year Yankang. In the eleventh month, he received the abdication of the Han, changed the reign era to Huangchu, and enfeoffed the Han emperor as Duke of Shanyang. The emperor was on the throne for thirty years and died at the age of fifty-four. In the second year of Qinglong under Emperor Ming of Wei, he passed away; his posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoxian. Reign eras: Chuping (four years), Xingping (two years), and Jian'an (twenty-four years).
