This chapter's podcast analysis of the third chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of how He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to the capital, which led to the killing of the eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo's subsequent dethronement and enthronement of the emperor, as well as the power struggle between him, Ding Yuan, and Lu Bu. He Jin's plan failed, triggering a palace coup, and Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to seize power. Lu Bu repeatedly defected between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and eventually became Dong Zhuo's subordinate, laying the foundation for Dong Zhuo's autocracy. This plot shows the political chaos and cruelty of the power struggle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
