Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 465 A Meaty Bone

  In Luoyang city, the palace

  Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, one in front and one behind, walked slowly between the corridors of the palace.

Because the emperor has been sent to Chang'an, the western capital, many eunuchs, guards and female officials in the original Luoyang have all moved away, basically there is no one left, and the entire palace now looks empty .

  In front of the Xuande Hall, stands a bronze horse. The horse is three feet four inches high and four feet five inches in circumference.

Dong Zhuo stood in front of the bronze horse, silent for a long time, then touched the horse's head with his hand, patted it lightly twice, and said: "Wen You, I once wanted to be a fugitive, this life is enough, I never thought... ha ha... "

Li Ru clasped his hands aside and said: "A husband walks in the sky like a dragon, and walks in the earth like a horse. A horse is the foundation of a soldier, and the great use of a country. Tranquility is based on the order of different ranks, and changes are used to relieve difficulties near and far. There used to be Qi Ji, a thousand miles a day, Bole sees it, it is obvious. Zhou Wen Wang Weishui met Jiang Taigong, Qin Mugong Wuge exchanged for Baili Xi, although Minggong has the ambition of Fubo, he has not seen Guangwu, but what can be done."

  This bronze horse was dedicated to Emperor Guangwu by General Fubo. It was cast by Ma Yuanyu who obtained a bronze drum of ethnic minorities in Jiaozhi, and then melted it into copper. It has been standing here for more than 150 years.

Because Ma Yuan was good at appreciating horses, he also integrated the experience of several major appraiser families at that time on this bronze horse, including Yi's sheath debate method, Zhongbo's articulation method, Xie's lip bun method, Ding's Therefore, Guangwu also used this bronze horse as the standard for selecting famous horses. In addition, Guangwu deliberately erected this bronze horse here, which also has some meanings of Bole and Chollima.

  Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's speech, nodded silently, flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

  Passing the Mingguang Hall is the Jiade Hall.

In front of the Jiade Hall is the Jiade Gate, also known as the Nine Dragon Gate, because it used to be the former site of the Nine Dragon Palace in the Zhou Dynasty. Of course, the Nine Dragon Palace had already been destroyed in the Han Dynasty, and only the Nine Dragon Gate remained. Therefore, Guangwu was at the Nine Dragon Gate at that time. On the basis of that, the Jiade Hall was built, and the Kowloons were the main entrance of the Jiade Hall at this time.

  Dong Zhuo looked up at the plaque at the gate of the Jiade Hall, wondering what he was thinking.

  Li Ru standing behind Dong Zhuo, just like Dong Zhuo's emotion towards Fubo Bronze Horse, has a different emotion towards Jiade Hall.

  Jade Hall, this hall was originally used to formulate Han rituals.

  Han Li is actually etiquette. At that time, Cao Bao, who was the heir of Legalism at that time, said: "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was no literature in the imperial system. Shusun Tong picked up the "Book of Rites" and consulted the laws of Qin. There are many valves."

In the first year of Zhanghe, Emperor Zhang summoned Cao Bao in the Jiade Hall and ordered him to go to Nangong Dongguan to carefully revise the twelve chapters of "Hanyi" written by Shusun Tong of the Western Han Dynasty, formulate a new standard of Hanli, and prepare to put it into practice. implement.

Cao Bao searched the old scriptures, read the prophecies of the "Five Classics", and worked out a hundred and fifty chapters on crown ceremonies, weddings, funeral ceremonies and other systems of various levels. He worked hard and finally revised the "Han Li" in October of the same year. play on.

But unfortunately, Emperor Zhang died and Emperor He succeeded to the throne. At that time, Emperor He had to win over more people in order to compete for imperial power with the Dou family including Queen Mother Dou and General Dou. Therefore, there were some controversial "Han Li" ", just let it go, and put it on the shelf.

  The Nine Dragon Gate has three copper pillars, and each pillar has three dragons winding around it, which is simple and atmospheric. Li Ru looked at the Nine Dragon Gate in front of the gate of the Jiade Palace, and at the dragon patterns wrapped around the copper pillars, feeling a lot in his heart. If Emperor Zhang could have lived longer back then, maybe he wouldn't have...

Dong Zhuo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed so loudly that his beard was trembling all over his cheeks: "Jade! Jiade! Although the name is Jiade, how can there be virtue?! The rooster drives the morning, helps the evildoers, sells officials and ranks, harms the country and the people, and the funeral of the Emperor Ling comes first. Here, later Xiaoren died here, and even Suigao also died here... Hahahaha... It’s true that Jiade has no virtue, and the palace has become a killing ground!"

Dong Zhuo's hands were stretched out, and the veins on his arms were exposed. He looked up to the sky and roared, "What's the use of leaving such a place where filth is hidden?! How can we save the place where the loyal and good are killed here?! If the Taizu is here, the Taizu I am also angry! If Guangwu is here, Guangwu is also sad! Nowadays, the people in the court are full of mediocrity, cockroaches and dogs, wine bags and rice bags, each acting out his own selfishness, doing nothing, the world is full of smoke, Han... Han..."

  Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's voice seemed to be choked by something, and he said with difficulty: "...Han...Han lost his deer... lost..."

  Dong Zhuo lowered his hand and lowered his head, a tear leaked from the corner of his eye, flowed down his cheek into his beard, and then disappeared, only the trace of a tear proved that there was such a tear.

   Li Ru looked at it, and suddenly a gleam flashed in his eyes, thoughtful.

   "Wen You..."

   "The minister is here."

  Dong Zhuo looked around for the last time, and said slowly: "...burn it."

   "...as ordered."

  Sun Jian, who is now located in the south of Luoyang, is now approaching Guangcheng Ze with soldiers from Changsha and Yuzhou. Dong Zhuo temporarily dispatched Hu Zhen and Lu Bu to intercept them with troops.

  Although Dong Zhuo also recognized Sun Jian's bravery, it doesn't mean that Luoyang City can be fully dedicated to Sun Jianqi. As Dong Zhuo, who has experienced a long-term war outside the Great Wall, the method of strengthening the wall and clearing the field is also extremely natural.

  Moving the capital, you will have to leave here sooner or later...

  If you want to leave here, will there still be a complete Luoyang City?

Soldiers are everywhere now, Hanoi, Hongnong, Suanzao, and Liangdong are all in need of soldiers. Dong Zhuo has basically released all his troops now, and even the troops who attacked Sun Jian were Luoyang Northern Army, Bingzhou Army and Western Army. The Liang army has three mixed troops, and one can imagine how desperate the current military strength is.

  So evacuation is a matter of urgency.

  Dong Zhuo came here just to bid farewell to his past, maybe also to cut off his last dream...,

  Maybe also to cut off the last trace of loyalty...

  Li Ru folded his sleeves and followed behind Dong Zhuo, and suddenly said, "Duke Ming, I want to borrow something that can make all the sons of Shandong turn against each other... I wonder if I will accept it?"

"What?"

   "Chuan Guo Yuxi."

  Dong Zhuo turned around with a "huh", staring at Li Ru with blood-red eyes.

  Li Ru said unhurriedly: "Shandong is a mob. They seem to be in harmony with each other, and each has their own selfishness. If this thing is obtained, there will be chaos. At that time, you and the others will inevitably attack each other, and the alliance will disappear."

  Actually, for Li Ru, the imperial seal was not an indispensable condition for disrupting the Shandong gentry. Even if it was not there, when these Shandong coalition forces came to Luoyang, they would naturally disperse without food.

  Chuan Guo Yuxi, in the eyes of Li Ru, is just a bigger fleshy bone...

   In front of Fengyi Pavilion.

   Lu Bu: Sister Diaochan, I am super powerful in martial arts, and my miraculous skills are world-class, and our childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, aren't we a perfect match?

   Diao Chan, I'm sorry, I've been adopted by Dong Zhuo!

   Lu Bu was furious, what's so good about this old thing!

   Diao Chan said, he has power, what do you have? No matter how awesome you are, you are nothing more than a part-time job!
