Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 15 Dong Zhuo enters Beijing

  Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who was about two or three horses ahead of him, with a look of disdain, turned his head and said in a low voice to Li Ru, who was half a horse behind him: "Can Liu Jiazi be so timid?"

In Dong Zhuo's view, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is not qualified enough, he is not like a man from the Liu family. Adults just look down on growing up between blood and fire.

   But having said that, didn’t some weak emperors emerge at the end of that dynasty? If it's a little bloody, it won't let your dynasty perish so easily, so you have to fight to the death, right?

The reason why the Han Dynasty has a lofty position in history is largely due to the fact that most of the emperors of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty were full of blood. According to tradition, every prince had to go through multiple assessments by the old emperor before he ascended the throne. He was weak and incompetent Those who are left will be excluded from the position of successor, but it is a pity that this generation of Han Lingdi played with a lot of women, and there are not many children left, so there is nothing to choose.

  However, during the time when Emperor Shaodi of the Han came to the throne, in ordinary people's minds, Liu Bang, Liu Che, Liu Xiu and other outstanding Liu family descendants left too deep impressions on the common people, leading most people to think that the Liu family children should be so outstanding.

  The person who thought he was very brave and holy turned out to be a limp coward. This kind of collapse of the idol in his heart is not acceptable to ordinary people.

So Dong Zhuo was very disappointed. At first he still had some thoughts of repaying his kindness in his heart. After all, his official position and status were bestowed by Emperor Ling of Han, but now when he saw Emperor Shao of Han, his little loyalty was completely wiped out. .

   This is also the fundamental reason why Dong Zhuo was so respectful when he met Han Shaodi.

  In comparison, Dong Zhuo looked at King Chen Liu more pleasing to the eye, at least he was courageous, so that he could not speak clearly, and he could somewhat look like a son of the Liu family.

Li Ru observed Dong Zhuo's expression, and seemed to point to King Chen Liu inadvertently, saying, "This son was brought up by the Empress Dowager Dong herself." Since Dong Zhuo doesn't like Han Shaodi, you might as well give him more money. The Empress Dowager Dong brought him up. In any case, it is considered half of the Dong family, and it will be more or less warmer than the Han Shaodi who was brought up by He Jin's sister, Queen Mother He.

   Is this your choice?

  Li Ru glanced at Situ Wangyun and his staff who were pushed to the back of the line with the corner of his eyes, and guessed a little bit about their thoughts. Since ancient times, if the emperor is strong, his ministers will be weak, and if the emperor is weak, his ministers will be strong. Only when the emperor is weak and cowardly, the ministers have the opportunity to be arrogant.

But Li Ru prefers the model in which the ruler is stronger and the minister is stronger, and the minister is stronger than the ruler. The monarch and the minister stimulate each other. Although there is friction, they can complement each other. Although this road is not easy, this is what a **** man should take. The true kingly way. Therefore, Li Ru looked down upon these bloodless Shandong gentry.

  Li Ru recruited a messenger: "The general's order, the troops in the front hastened to enter the city, and more sergeants were sent along the way to announce that it was the governor of Xiliang, Dong Jiujia, who returned to the court! The rear of the central army camped at the city!"

  The messenger glanced at Dong Zhuo, saw Dong Zhuo nodding and waving his hand, so he agreed to the order and went.

  This is the spirit of a hero.

   Know how to employ people, delegate authority, grasp the general direction, and don't overestimate the small details. Li Ru thinks that Dong Zhuo has all these conditions. As for being lecherous and short-tempered, Li Ru said that these are not things.

  Which emperor’s harem in that dynasty wasn’t filled with beauties who couldn’t even poke them all? Which emperor of that dynasty didn't have a little temper and killed people to relieve boredom?

  ****************

   "Xiliang Wufu is too deceitful!"

Situ Wangyun returned home angrily, he was so angry that he was about to get a rescue job, but it was just a little bit, but the cooked duck flew away like this, and became Xiliang Dong Zhuo's monopoly After saving Jia, everyone else stood aside, even he, a dignified Situ in the court, didn't even give a notice after entering the city, and just left him alone. What's more, when he wanted to follow the emperor into the palace, He was actually stopped by Xiliang soldiers, saying that no one else could enter the palace without the order of General Dong!

  I am a dignified Situ, but I am an idler?

   It's really annoying!

   "Come here! Take my name stabbed to the Taifu Yuan Kui's mansion, and say that the new fine tea has arrived, and invite the Taifu to come and taste it."

   This is the territory of the Shandong gentry!

  You Xiliang Wufu, if you don’t give you some medicine, I will teach you a lesson, you don’t know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!

  **************

  Dianjun Academy Lieutenants Cao Cao and Cao Mengde were also angrily knocking on the table at home at this moment.

   Just received the information from the palace that Emperor Han Shao and King Chenliu had both returned. Unexpectedly, it was Xiliang Dong Zhuo who sent them back, not Situ Wangyun and his gang that Cao Cao had expected.

  In addition, there is another more important piece of information. Almost all the members of the Cao family who were in the palace were now slaughtered in this rebellion.

  If Cao Cao hadn’t separated from Yuan Shao immediately after the door was broken, and went to protect several members of the Cao family in the palace, it is estimated that the members of the Cao family’s palace would have been completely wiped out this time.

   This family is too ruthless!

  Now the tentacles of the Cao family in the palace are almost cut off, which means that all the efforts of the previous two or three generations are basically in vain, and they have to start from scratch again. The time and financial resources originally invested are all in vain.

There is another point that made Cao Cao not only angry, but also heartbroken. No matter how hard he tried to get closer to these noble families, he still couldn't get along in the end. Just like the Cao family sacrificed so much this time, it can be regarded as standing against The front line of the eunuchs charged into battle, but when they gathered the troops to meet them, Cao Cao was not there.

  Even the drunkard Chun Yuqiong, the captain of Zuojun, and the incompetent Lieutenant of the Right, Zhao Meng, were notified, but he was missed intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, he is also the official Dianjun captain of the court, why can't he go?

   What makes Cao Cao even more sad is, is the Yuan family's nature so weak?

Yuan Shu has been out of tune for a long time. This time, no matter whether the Yuan family explained something behind or not, it was obviously a trick yesterday. We will repay this kindness and revenge in the future. Just say you, Yuan Shao, at least we are together Those who were cheated also fought side by side, but turned around and the Yuan family gave you a little bit of favor, then threw the original comrades aside, and ran back to the Yuan family to flatter you, can you have some backbone and principles?

   Don't you understand that this is the Yuan family's way of shutting you up because they couldn't kill you?

  You said that you don’t even care about Yuan Shao, a member of the Yuan family. How can I have a reason to settle accounts with Yuan Shu?

  Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, is it so important to be able to welcome someone with a little edge? Now you are no longer the high-spirited Yuan Benchu ​​you were at the beginning.

  Cao Cao closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, stood up, turned into the house, took out a small rattan box, stroked it for a long time, but finally did not open it, but ordered a small fire to be lit in the courtyard, then threw the box into the fire, turned around leave.

  The flames were raging, engulfing the small rattan box in a blink of an eye.

  The box was deformed by heat and expanded, revealing the three or two bamboo horses and bamboo swords in the original storage box...

  Since I am not allowed to go the way of the gentry, I, Cao Cao, will go my own way!

  From then on, we only talk about success or failure, not about friendship!

  **************

  What should be done has already been done, Fei Qian didn't stay at Cui's house for too long, so he left after eating his breakfast.

Cui Hou really wanted Fei Qian to stay for a few more days, mainly because he hoped that Fei Qian could give guidance to the master craftsman at home, but Cui Yi was so angry with Min Gong in the morning that he felt a little unwell, so he could only put Liuli away first. Putting things aside, taking care of the elderly is the most important thing, so he reluctantly sent Fei Qian to the bottom of Luoyang City before returning.

  At this time, the Luoyang City Defense has been taken over by the Xiliang Army. Above the city tower, the Ruoda Dong character army flag flutters in the wind.

  The traces of fire on the street have increased a lot, and the people in the workshop are organizing people to clean up and yell. Along the way, I could faintly see a lot of bloodstains. Although covered with yellow sand, I could still smell a little bit of blood.

   It's time to evacuate. Although Fei Qian is no longer planning to take any escape route, Luoyang is in danger now, and he has no power or power. He is just a reserve official of the imperial court and cannot protect himself at all.

  Although Shaodi and Chen Liuwang showed their faces, this time it can only be regarded as planting a seed. It is not known how long it will take until it germinates, and they cannot fully pin their hopes on it.

  On the street, the Xiliang army was in groups, ramming around.

Feiqian was dressed in brocade clothes and a high crown, and he could tell at a glance that he was a person of status. Xiliang soldiers didn't dare to do anything, but many of the Baiding people who wore short jackets suffered disaster, either because they were beaten or beaten. was robbed.

  Seeing that Fei Qian frowned, and stopped drinking a few times, those Xiliang women just crossed their hands casually, even after saluting, they left the matter, Fei Qian couldn't help it.

  No job, no power, no power?

  Fei Qian was a little annoyed in his heart, how could this be the capital of the country, and those officials who are usually high above the top, don’t they know what Xiliang soldiers are doing now? Why are they all huddled at home, and no one came out to stop them?

   Xiliang soldiers really don't know what's good or what's wrong, don't they know how to go up and down? But it’s not true, as long as someone like me who is not an official official shouts to stop, the Xiliang soldiers he encounters will know how to stop. From this, it can be seen that as long as there are bigger officials to come forward, there will definitely be no one in the market. So many people have suffered.

   But judging from the current situation, these people are intentionally inactive, allowing Xiliang soldiers to do anything wrong. Its purpose is only one, don't let Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers have a good reputation!

   But there is one thing that Fei Qian doesn't quite understand. Why does the commander of the Xiliang soldiers let his subordinates do the same? Fei Qian shook his head, didn't Dong Zhuo know that doing so would ruin him?

  As soon as Fei Qian returned home with doubts, Uncle Fu handed him a famous card.

  "Shi Li, the former chief of the general's house?" Fei Qian didn't realize it for a while. Do I know this person? who is this? Invite me to tea?

Fei Qian suddenly felt a little hairy. What future generations are most afraid of is being invited to drink tea, not to mention the government agencies, but the leaders of the unit just grab the pigtails, just because they are drinking tea. There will be a criticism meeting.

   "Uncle Fu, where did this famous thorn come from?"

   "Just now, before Mr. Xiaolang came back, he was sent by a Habayashirou." Uncle Fu was somewhat worried. He received an invitation from a high-ranking official for no reason, and anyone would feel a little nervous.

   Who the **** is this?
