Xijing City was quickly put under martial law because Emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother were suspected of killing important court officials without authorization. A coup that was leaked by the murder of Dong Zhuo was aborted when the Queen Mother and Liu Bian were placed under house arrest in the palace.
In a hall in Qiaowu, Dong Zhuo was wearing a loose uniform and a fox fur coat. He was angry and red-eyed, holding a bloody sword in his hand. Beneath him knelt a ragged man.
The old man looked depressed and exhausted, with a look of sadness in his eyes. Next to him lay an old man of similar age on the ground. The old man had a ferocious face, covering his chest with both hands, and was lying on the ground.
Wailing, Dong Zhuo glanced at the wailing old man and shouted: "Drag this damn thing out, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
Several Xiliang soldiers standing aside quickly stepped forward and dragged the wailing old man out. The old man kneeling next to him watched the man being dragged out. The corners of his eyes wrinkled, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
Dong Zhuo slowly walked up to him and pointed the bloody sword at his throat. The sharp cold light of the sword made his heart tremble. Dong Zhuo shouted in a cold voice: "Wang Yun, I am not kind to you. I will treat you generously as a high official."
Lu, I made you a very human minister and admired by thousands of people, but now you fucking dare to try to kill me, you are so fucking impatient!"
Wang Yun raised his head and glanced at Dong Zhuo. Seeing the killing intent bursting out of Dong Zhuo's eyes, he said calmly: "Since ancient times, those who do great things have not been afraid of life and death. I, Wang Yun, am a minister of the Han Dynasty and have been deeply favored by the late emperor. I regard myself as a Han official."
How can there be any reason to cherish one's own life when one has dedicated his life to death?" After speaking, he sighed softly, Dong Zhuo's sword moved forward lightly, and a red gash appeared at Wang Yun's throat. He saw Wang Yun
His body trembled, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "What a great and loyal minister, who dedicated himself to death and died! I thought you were not afraid of death, but it seems that you are just a scumbag!" After saying that, he kicked the king.
Yun fell to the ground with a kick and coldly snorted: "Drag him out and cook them and give them to the brothers to try!" When Wang Yun heard that he was going to suffer such a cruel punishment, he yelled: "Thief Dong, you will not die well!
"Dong Zhuo was furious, with all the flesh on his face crowded together, and said viciously: "Cook and kill their entire family and send them to the civil and military officials of the court, so that they can taste these rare human flesh!" Wang Yun saw that Dong Zhuo was so violent.
, I felt so much hatred in my chest that I breathed a sigh of relief and fainted!
Dong Zhuo saw Wang Yun being dragged out by the soldiers. He turned around and saw Li Ru standing by with a strange look on his face, so he said in a deep voice: "Does the doctor think that the handling of a certain person was inappropriate?" When Li Ru heard this, he knew that Dong Zhuo was right.
He was a little dissatisfied with his performance just now, because he had followed Dong Zhuo for many years and knew that Dong Zhuo would already express his dissatisfaction if someone close to him called him by his official position. He quickly bowed and said: "I don't dare!" He originally wanted to
He advised Dong Zhuo to reduce killings, but he knew that because of this incident, Dong Zhuo was already dissatisfied with many people, especially those who were not from the Xiliang system, although he considered himself to be from the Xiliang system, and Li Jue, who was in the Xiliang army,
Guo Si and others made good friends, but he knew that all this was because of Dong Zhuo's trust in him. If this trust was gone, Li Ru would be nothing!
Dong Zhuo stared at Li Ru closely, flicked his sleeves, said "hum" and walked in. Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo's plump back, sighed softly, shook his head and turned around to walk out.
into the hall.
Dong Zhuo's shed is 250 miles away from Chang'an City. It was built by 250,000 people. "The height and thickness of the city are just like Chang'an." Palaces were built in the city, and 800 beautiful folk girls were selected to live in them. The warehouses were stocked with 20 years of grain.
, gold, jade, colorful silk, and pearls are piled up in countless numbers, and it is known as the "Long Live Dock". Dong Zhuo once said, "If it succeeds, it will dominate the world; if it fails, it will be enough to stay here until you grow old."
Li Ru walked out of the hall and carefully looked at the shed that had depleted Chang'an's wealth. The pavilions, pavilions, and splendid utensils were full of luxury. However, the people in Guanzhong outside had no snow all winter due to the severe drought in Guanzhong last year.
The lack of farmland caused it to become barren, and many families in Guanzhong began to exchange their children for food. However, Xiwu had enough food for the people of the world to eat for twenty years. However, Dong Zhuo would rather let the food rot or even be left to rats in the barn.
Giving a grain of rice to the people, Li Ru felt a little cold in his heart.
He was originally just a boy from a poor family, but it was because of Dong Zhuo that he reached his current status, so he has always been loyal to Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo killed many people and was unpopular with the people, he knew that one general could make thousands of bones dry.
Benevolent government can still restore people's support, but in recent years, Dong Zhuo has become more and more cruel, and Li Ru's heart has become colder and colder.
Suddenly, Li Ru felt a cool feeling on his nose. He quickly raised his head and saw that snowflakes had slowly begun to float in the sky. Although they were very small, Li Ru's heart suddenly became excited. This is snow. This is snow.
The people in Guanzhong had been waiting for the snow for a long time. He stood in the courtyard, looking at the snowflakes slowly flying in the sky. He looked at the execution platform in Xiwu East Garden with enlightenment and slowly closed his eyes.
At this time, Li Ru heard the sound of armor rubbing against each other. He opened his eyes and saw a young general wearing armor striding towards him. He snorted coldly, ignored the man, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
go!
That young general was Li Su, and he was also the one who secretly reported to Dong Zhuo this time. It was because of his report that Dong Zhuo was able to take action earlier and kill Wang Yun and others in one fell swoop. As a result, he also gained Dong Zhuo's trust and was appointed as his general.
General Huben Zhonglang, in charge of Dong Zhuo's Guards, came this time to report to Dong Zhuo that Lu Bu was crying and repenting in prison. He saw that Li Ru's eyes were full of contempt just now, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he strode
Go to the hall!
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a woman's tragic screams coming from inside. The two Xiliang soldiers standing at the door had ambiguous eyes and looked a little lewd. Li Su frowned and coughed softly.
"After a moment, the two Xiliang soldiers were frightened and stood up quickly. Li Su walked in without even looking at the two Xiliang soldiers. After taking a few steps, he heard a soft curse coming from outside.
, "What's the air? A coward is still showing off his power in front of me!" Li Su's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared. He stood quietly in the hall until the woman inside screamed slowly.
After slowly stopping, he said loudly: "Li Su, the last general, has something important to say to the Prime Minister!"
There was a rustling sound coming from inside, and after a while, several women in ragged clothes came out with their heads lowered. They were all wearing pear blossoms and rain. One of the women's bare back was covered with scars. Li Suyao
He shook his head, and at this moment, he heard Dong Zhuo's voice coming from inside, "Come in!"
