Chapter 14 Jade Seal(1/2)
Ding Chen was surprised!
Liu Bian clearly had something in his words, which made him even feel creepy.
Anyone wants to kill the regicide?
Thinking about the poisoned death of Empress Dowager He before, Ding Chen seemed to understand Liu Bian's meaning. But the deep palace courtyard was very strict. Not to mention anything else, there were two hundred guards in the Age guards, and there were also swordsmen patrolling outside, four side gates and one gate, thousands of soldiers were stationed, like iron walls. Who wants to kill Liu Bian? Who can kill Liu Bian? The answer is about to come out!
Dong Zhuo?
Could it be that Dong Zhuo wants to kill Liu Bian?
Thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible.
Whether it is the swordsman, the Nangong Guards in the palace city, or the thousands of soldiers outside the palace, they seem to be Dong Zhuo's people.
Only Dong Zhuo, or only Dong Zhuo, can kill Liu Bian.
The question is, why did Dong Zhuo kill Liu Bian?
In Ding Chen's opinion, Dong Zhuo had no reason to kill Liu Bian at all.
The throne has been retreated, and Liu Bian has become the deposed emperor. If the general He Jin is still alive, he may have a chance to turn over. But He Jin is already dead. Among the civil and military officials in the court, who might take the risk to go against Dong Zhuo?
Therefore, Liu Bian did not pose any threat to Dong Zhuo.
Unless, unless someone secretly provoked and wanted Dong Zhuo to kill Liu Bian? Another possibility is that someone wanted to kill Liu Bian and frame Dong Zhuo.
The first thought flashed for a moment, and Ding Chen immediately rejected it.
Who is Dong Zhuo?
Not only did he go on the battlefield for most of his life, he also had ups and downs in the officialdom. Now he is below one person and above ten thousand people.
It is difficult for people like this to be fooled.
But if it is not the first possibility, it is the second one?
This idea can never be erased again. Ding Chen's gaze at Liu Bian became a little unusual...
This weak boy was probably aware of the crux of the problem.
Not only Liu Bian, but probably, including Dong Zhuo, all saw the problem.
So, he sent Ding Chen over.
Because he knew that Ding Chen could not collude with anyone, not to mention that he had an older sister and nephew who were afraid of being afraid of him.
"King..."
To be honest, Ding Chen doesn't want to get involved.
The matter here is too complicated, and it takes a lot of brains to think clearly.
But when he saw the glory of a little disappointed in Liu Bian's eyes, he swallowed it back into his stomach when he said something.
"The king was joking. The guards of the Pavilion were so tightly, how could an accident happen?
If the king is worried, I can increase the manpower and strengthen the guards... However, I don’t understand why the king chose me?"
Ding Chen's subsequent words sounded like he was asking, but in fact he agreed to Liu Bian.
A rosy touch appeared on Liu Bian's pale face.
He whispered: "Who else should I choose in the entire Age Palace City besides Ding Qing?"
When Ding Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, who did you ask Liu Bian to choose?
There seems to be no choice in the entire Age.
First of all, Liu Bian would not choose the eunuch of Age, because the one who killed He Jin and carried him out of the palace was a group of eunuchs. If it weren't for the Ten Eunuchs, He Jin would not have died. He Jin was not dead, how could Dong Zhuo take advantage of the situation?
If the eunuch put aside, he would be the female official in the palace.
How could Liu Bian count on a group of weak women?
After running away from the eunuch and the female official, only the Nangong Guards of the Guard were left.
But those people were all tigers and wolves and Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
Therefore, Liu Bian couldn't choose them... In this way, it seems that only Ding Chen can entrust him.
First of all, Ding Chen is not the direct descendant of Dong Zhuo.
This is not difficult to find out, and Liu Bian probably knew it in advance.
Secondly, Ding Chen is Cao Cao's brother-in-law.
Liu Bian had met Cao Cao and knew that during his lifetime, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, he appointed Cao Cao as the lieutenant of the military and was a very capable person. Moreover, Cao Cao was also a guest of General He Jin. From this point of view, Liu Bian would feel that Ding Chen was closer.
So, he chose Ding Chen!
Liu Bian smiled at Ding Chen and said softly: "I would like to ask Ding Qing not to forget what I have entrusted today.
If Ding Qing could protect Tang Ji's safety, he would have a gift with Ding Qing. I believe Ding Qing would like it very much.
It’s getting late, I’m back and resting!”
After Liu Bian finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the Age Hall.
A palace servant came forward to close the door, leaving Ding Chen alone, standing alone outside the door, a little confused...
He took my cloak away!
That was sewn for me by my sister.
Ding Chen did not attach much importance to the gifts Liu Bian said, nor did he feel in the mood to guess.
He stomped his feet and ran back to the room outside the palace gate with his arms around him. However, when he sat down, he thought about Liu Bian's words.
I guess Liu Bian doesn't know who is trying to harm him.
Otherwise, he would have told Dong Zhuo long ago... and Dong Zhuo left him in Age, wouldn't he want to use him to fish?
It seems that some possibilities!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There was nothing wrong that night, and by dawn, the snow stopped.
Zhang Xiu brought another group of guards to hand over to Ding Chen. After the two talked, Ding Chen said goodbye and left.
I was on duty overnight and was really exhausted.
After walking out of the Nangong, Ding Chen prepared to go home.
"In front, is Ding Jun?"
A call came from behind, and Ding Chen stopped.
He turned around and saw Jia Xu running out of the Pingcheng Gate and reaching Ding Chen in just a few steps.
"Is Ding Jun going home?"
"Yes, I was on duty all night last night and was a little tired, so I was going back to rest and I had to come over to hand over General Xiao Zhang to the evening.
Why is Jia Jun here? At this time, shouldn’t he be on duty with the prime minister?”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Haha, just like Ding Jun, I was on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion last night.
Just as I was about to go back, Li Zhonglang had a document to be processed by the Shangshu Mansion, so I came here.
I didn't expect to meet Ding Jun here."
Jia Xu smiled so well, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
But for some reason, Ding Chen was a little scared when he saw him. The feeling was as if he was staring at him by a poisonous snake, which made his back feel cold. But he was not easy to fool, so he stood on the side of Tongtuo Street with Jia Xu and started chatting.
"There is a soup restaurant in front of me, which tastes good. Are Ding Jun interested?"
"Did you talk about the soup restaurant at Wutaimen?
OK, I haven't tasted it for a long time, but I miss it a little
The soup restaurant is really good. Lao Zhang, who killed sheep, is very powerful. Moreover, he made soup for three generations, and he can be regarded as a masterpiece of Luoyang.
Ha, I'm a little greedy for this."
"In this way, go together, go together."
Jia Xu pulled Ding Chen, and the two walked with their arms, and soon arrived at the soup restaurant.
The business of this soup restaurant is indeed good. Early in the morning, many people were eating soup inside, and some people squatted at the door and drank it squintedly. A big pot at the door was filled with slowly mutton soup. The mutton soup was cooked with a smashed spine. It is said that this way, the most essence of the spine in the lamb can be cooked, and black fish, which is specialty of Luoshui, makes the soup more delicious.
This is what fish and sheep are meant by fresh!
Ding Chen is an old customer of this soup restaurant. After walking in, he found a seat to sit down.
He ordered a bowl of broth, while Jia Xu ordered a bowl of mixed soup.
Before the soup was served, Jia Xu suddenly said, "Mr. Ding, do you know me?"
"ah?"
