You are overriding tax_query. I revised your code. try the below code.

$tax_query = array( 'relation' => 'AND' );

if ( ! empty( $cat_slug ) ) {
    $tax_query[] = array(
        'taxonomy' => 'post_category',
        'field'    => 'slug',
        'terms'    => $cat_slug
    );
}

if ( ! empty( $exclude_cat_slug ) ) {
    $tax_query[] = array(
        'taxonomy' => 'post_category',
        'field'    => 'slug',
        'terms'    => $exclude_cat_slug,
        'operator' => 'NOT IN'
    );
}     

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => intval( $items ),
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'tax_query'      => $tax_query
);
