On Wuwu in March of the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo suddenly announced at the court meeting that he had committed liaison with foreign enemies, made money indiscriminately, ruined the country, deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. He ordered the execution of the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and the Imperial Servant Yuan Ji.
, and more than fifty people above Chikou of his family, were buried outside Qingcheng Gate and Dongdu Gate in Chang'an respectively. Later, Dong Zhuo was worried that someone would steal the corpses, so he moved these corpses to Yi County.
The most direct reason for killing Yuan Wei was certainly the various old grudges accumulated in the past, but the trigger was an unrelated report.
Taishi Ling, who was responsible for observing the astronomical phenomena and predicting the future, reported to Dong Zhuo that soon an important official of the imperial court, at least someone above the rank of Third Duke, would die unexpectedly...
Dong Zhuo thought, this unfortunate minister can't be me!
Therefore, without going through anyone, the sentence was pronounced on the spot at the court meeting and executed immediately. Then it was regarded as fulfilling the motto of the Taishi Ling about the future and confirming the celestial phenomena. Dong Zhuo felt that his life seemed to be safe.
However, Dong Zhuo unscrupulously killed more than three princes, who happened to be the princes who had promoted him. This blatant violation of the Basic Law of the Han Dynasty offended many people.
At this time, there were five such people in Chang'an City, and they got together.
He Yong, Ren Yilang.
Zheng Tai, Ren Yilang.
Xun You was appointed as the Minister of Huangmen.
Zhong Ji, served as a servant.
Wu Fu was appointed captain of the Yue Cavalry School.
Xun You has the best mind, so he mainly does the analysis:
Even though Dong Zhuo's power in Chang'an is huge, it is actually just an illusion. His main buddies and subordinates, such as Niu Fu, are stationed between Chang'an and Luoyang, and Li Jue and Guo Si are also far away from Chang'an. Therefore, Xun You's final conclusion is that as long as
Assassinate Dong Zhuo, then send troops to guard Hangu Pass and other passes to prevent Dong Zhuo's Niu Fu and others from returning to Chang'an. At the same time, the imperial court orders the Shandong nobles to enter the capital, and great things can be accomplished!
The other four people all felt that what Xun You said made sense, but who was going to carry out the assassination? Their eyes were all focused on Wu Fu. Who said he was a serious military attache?
Gai Xun was originally the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, but Dong Zhuo didn't like Gai Xun being in charge of the army, so he dismissed him and gave him to Wu Fu. In a sense, Wu Fu was promoted by Dong Zhuo himself and accepted by him.
It is reasonable to be treated personally, so I also had the opportunity to meet Dong Zhuo alone...
But the assassination failed.
On the day of the assassination, Wu Fu hid a short blade in his clothes and went to see Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo had no doubts and met with Wu Fu. After the meeting, Dong Zhuo also gave Wu Fu a gift.
Wu Fu, who was walking in the corridor, suddenly got angry, drew out his short blade and stabbed Dong Zhuo!
However, Dong Zhuo's evasion rate was not affected by his obesity, so Wu Fu's inevitable stab was missed!
Dong Zhuo was furious, and after killing Wu Fu on the spot, he immediately launched a massive search and arrest.
He Yong and Xun You were imprisoned for this, Zhong Ji fled when he saw that the situation was not good, and Zheng Tai also escaped from Chang'an with Hua Xin.
He Yong took the main responsibility for the crime, admitted that he was the principal, and then committed suicide in prison. Xun You, on the other hand, kept shouting that he was wronged because he knew that Wu Fu was dead, Zheng Tai, and Zhong Ji had escaped, and He Yong took on the responsibility again.
Therefore, although Dong Zhuo knew that Xun You had contacts with Wu Fu, he could not be completely sure that Xun You was involved, so he put it aside, but he has been imprisoned in prison.
.
After encountering a sudden assassination, Dong Zhuo completely lost his trust in these Shandong nobles. At the same time, Dong Zhuo himself also found that he seemed to have a big problem with his memory. Sometimes he could forget his memory. This kind of physiological inexplicable problem.
Let him sometimes burn with nameless fire...
In order to ensure his own safety, Dong Zhuo always wore heavy armor when going to court, and recalled Lu Bu, asking him to serve as a guard wherever he went...
Lu Bu, on the other hand, was pained and happy. He was happy because he could see the little figure he had always cared about again, and he was painful because this figure had been taken into the backyard by Dong Zhuo.
However, Lu Bu is not a person who is very good at hiding his emotions, so some strange behaviors fall into the eyes of interested people...
× × × × × × × × × ×
Almost immediately after this, Liu Bei, who was far away in the plains, also encountered an assassin...
Originally, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the troops to Suizao with great ambition, but no one cared about it. As a result, before the final curtain fell on Suizao, Gaotang, where Liu Bei was serving, was captured by the Yellow Turbans because he transferred the soldiers.
Losing his land means being punished for his crime. How could Liu Bei, who had escaped before, be so obedient as to be captured?
Therefore, he took his soldiers and went north to join his senior brother Gongsun Zan, who was promoted to the Sima of another department.
However, Qingzhou was one of the areas where the Yellow Turban outbreak was most violent. Although the three Zhang brothers had been defeated, there were still a large number of Yellow Turbans remaining. These Yellow Turbans frequently harassed and plundered the county town, which provided Liu Bei with a basis for accumulating military exploits.
At this time, Tian Kai, the former subordinate of Gongsun Zan and the current governor of Qingzhou, became close friends with Liu Bei. Liu Bei also accumulated military exploits and served as the Pingyuan Commandery, and later became Pingyuan State Prime Minister.
After learning from the last postal supervision incident, Liu Bei became very focused on winning over people's hearts this time. After taking up the post of Pingyuan Prime Minister, he entertained guests and heroes lavishly, and he was also willing to give charity to any knights who were in need, even if he was not a general.
Scholars and ordinary people could sit at the same table with him and eat with him, and in a short time he became famous.
Pingyuan County was also affected by the court's evil money at this time. The currency depreciated significantly and the price of food soared. However, the powerful people in the countryside were reluctant to sell food, causing countless ordinary people to starve to death.
In such a situation, Liu Bei ordered the large households in the county to provide food and grass to relieve the people. However, such an order angered the powerful Liu Ping.
Liu Ping bribed a ranger to assassinate Liu Bei. However, the ranger felt that he had taken Liu Bei's money before, and now Liu Bei was doing good things, so he approached Liu Bei. Not only did he not assassinate, but he told the whole story...
…
Liu Bei respectfully sent the assassin away and returned to the hall, only to see Zhang Fei jumping up and down in anger and about to lead his troops to attack Liu Ping's Wubao.
"Third brother, this matter," Liu Bei took Zhang Fei's arm and said, "let's let it go..."
"Brother!" Zhang Fei stared, unable to understand at all.
Liu Bei shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Fei blinked his big round eyes and looked at Guan Yu. Guan Yu sighed: "There is no basis for this, and I'm afraid I will be criticized."
"Why is there no evidence? Isn't that the person?" Zhang Fei turned around and started to leave again, "Wait until I get that person back!"
"Third brother!" Liu Bei frowned and said slowly, "Now that you and I finally have this place, don't be reckless. Do you know how many eyes are staring at the plains right now, just waiting for us to make the slightest move?
The establishment of a warehouse to stabilize grain prices in the well-established austerity fortress came to nothing? Do you think it was Liu Ping who was behind it? He is nothing but a fool!"
"Brother!" Zhang Fei would rather suffer for himself, but he doesn't want Liu to suffer even a little bit of grievance. He stared at Liu Bei with his round eyes and hesitated to speak.
Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, nodded, and repeated: "Let's let this matter go."
Guan Yu said from the side: "From today on, I will sleep with my eldest brother."
Zhang Fei blinked and suddenly said: "I also live with my eldest brother!"
Liu Bei laughed, feeling grateful for the love and care shown by his two brothers, and said, "Good! Then we can sleep together as brothers!"
Although Liu Bei was smiling on his face, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. Is it so difficult to do something for the people? Just to pay for the assassination without opening a warehouse?
These nobles and nobles who call each other brothers and sisters on weekdays, exchange cups for drinks at banquets, and talk loudly in the halls, even if they don't take me, Queen Jing of Zhongshan, in their eyes, they should still take some care of me and show pity to some common people in the same county.
The head of Guizhou!
Is it just so that we can occupy more land during a disaster?
well……
Is there any salvation in this world?
From ancient times to the present, assassination has always been an embarrassment that politicians cannot escape...
Dong Zhuo was assassinated for the first time, so he sent Lu Bu as his bodyguard. Unexpectedly...
Liu Bei was assassinated, so he stayed with his brother for a long time...
Cao Cao was also assassinated later, so he was extremely suspicious...
Sun Ce, well, let’s not talk about this unlucky boy...
