Yan Zhong stood quietly behind Li Shushi at this time. The two of them quietly felt the evening breeze at the top of Jinyang City, as if they were comprehending the laws from heaven and earth. Looking from a distance, they looked like two
It is like an eminent monk who has attained Taoism and has entered samadhi.
However, who knows what's going on in their hearts at this moment?
"Lord, there is news from Luoyang that Your Majesty just fainted due to excessive fatigue. Now he has woken up and can continue to handle government affairs." Cheng Yu's voice behind him seemed so calm at this time, without any fluctuations.
Liu Hong finally woke up. Whether you call it a return to glory or a disease caused by overwork (well, three thousand beauties), in short, there is no force that can drive away this ninety-five-year-old who is still alive.
Step down. The eunuchs with this ability are unwilling because there is no master more to their liking than Liu Hong. As for the generals and scholars, they are completely powerless.
However, the only thing that Liu Hong's awakening has not changed is the undercurrent surging in Luoyang and even the whole country. No, perhaps with Liu Hong's awakening, this undercurrent is gradually being exposed to the light. Because Liu Hong is obviously
The person who knows his or her body best.
"Wen You, please tell me what's going on. Do you want me to take this seat or not?"
At this time, Dong Zhuo's face was full of tangles, not only because of the content of the imperial edict in his hand, but also because he had received "things" given to him by some people. Although he knew that this was something he had to go through to realize his dream, Dong Zhuo was still very worried.
Don't like this feeling.
"It seems that Your Majesty is still worried about your father-in-law, so he made such a decision at this time."
"Then can we resist the decree and be disrespectful? If His Majesty is okay, we will be passive."
"Isn't this some news from that adult? On this kind of issue, I think there shouldn't be any mistakes."
"Then what should we do to be foolproof. Although I am a little reluctant, that guy Huangfu Yizhen is really a troublesome guy." At that moment, various expressions flashed across Dong Zhuo's face, including envy,
There is jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, and admiration that is not easy to detect. Perhaps even he himself does not know what kind of feelings he has for Huangfu Song, because these feelings are mixed with too many things such as future and interests.
Something like that.
"Huangfu Yizhen is an admirable general on the battlefield, and he can use various methods in an endless stream. But this man is just like his uncle, he is upright. Although people admire him, he has
It also gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Perhaps Li Ru was the only one among Dong Zhuo's men who dared to praise Huangfu Song in front of Dong Zhuo. Although a flash of black flashed across Dong Zhuo's face, he did not get angry. On the one hand, he knew that Li Ru would never target someone without aim.
He said this also because how could a person who could make a proud and arrogant guy like him, Dong Zhuo, envious, jealous, and hateful be a mediocre person?
"If you are an upright person, you must have certain rules for everything you do. If you go beyond the rules, even if you do something absolutely correct, you will probably hesitate again and again, lest your reputation will be damaged because you go beyond the rules. This is what Huangfu Yizhen is like
People."
Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't interrupt, Li Ru didn't make any pretense either. As Li Ru analyzed, Dong Zhuo's expression became solemn.
"Wen You saw it accurately. Huangfu Yizhen dared to use any ruthless tricks on the battlefield. Even I was frightened sometimes. He gave up a great opportunity for a mere stigma, tsk tsk,
It’s really unbelievable.”
"Has your father-in-law forgotten what happened to Yan Liangping in the past?"
"Oh? When you said that, I remembered it. At that time, Huangfu Yizhen clearly had the opportunity to be Yi Yin and Huo Guang. I didn't expect that guy to give up like that. If I had known this, I wouldn't have to lose to that guy.
He was dying and stretched his horns."
"Master Yue Zhang is right. In terms of official position, you, the former general, are almost the same as him, the Zuo General. In terms of reputation, although Huangfu Yizhen has a great name, Master Yue Zhang is not favored by the scholars in Guandong.
He is also a famous general who is loyal to the emperor and the country. In the minds of the people of Liangzhou, he may be even more famous than
The hypocritical Huangfu Yi is really superior. So how can people who even the eunuchs dare not attack you? If the father-in-law still feels a little uneasy, the son-in-law can order someone to spread some rumors.
When the time comes, Huangfu Yizhen will be even more cowardly, not daring to touch his father-in-law at all."
Why did Dong Zhuo and Li Ru study the rebellion here? It turned out to be because of an edict issued by Liu Hong, who had regained consciousness.
"Yangzhou Mu, you want to hand over all your troops to Huangfu Song. Liu Hong, Liu Hong, why are you so superfluous? In fact, as long as you ask me to get to Yangzhou, even if I have tens of thousands of elites following me, I won't be able to survive."
. Or in fact, you don’t want to let the tens of thousands of elites I trained be eaten up by the monkeys in the mountains and the fish in the water..."
Seeing Li Ru getting up and leaving, Dong Zhuo muttered to himself gloomily.
Yes, Liu Hong appointed Dong Zhuo as Yangzhou Shepherd. But at the same time, he attached a condition, that is, Dong Zhuo, a former general, should hand over his troops, and the person who accepted Dong Zhuo's troops was the one Dong Zhuo disliked the most.
Person——Huangfu Song.
Well, this is actually not the first time Dong Zhuo has received such an order. You must know that the last time Liu Hong’s order made Dong Zhuo even more angry, because Liu Hong actually asked him to go to Luoyang to be a young man. He looked very beautiful but
It's actually a very embarrassing job.
What does the Shaofu do? First of all, the Shaofu is one of the Nine Qings, which means that he is only one step away from the Three Lords. Although his status cannot be said to be that of a civil servant, it is not something that ordinary people can do. But here comes the problem.
, what does the Young Master do? To put it bluntly, it is the chief steward of the royal treasury, a position that manages the income and expenditure of the royal internal funds.
No one dares to judge what would happen if this position were replaced by another emperor, but for a guy like Liu Hong who is extremely sensitive to money, it is absolutely difficult to embezzle from his pocket.
Super S-class.
Therefore, let’s not talk about the fact that when you enter the capital and take the position of Shaofu, you must hand over your military power. Just think about Dong Zhuo, a guy with such a bold personality, to take such an official position that can be called a Qingshui Yamen. It must be hard to hold back.
I can suffocate him to death, let alone
The slightest mistake would have given Liu Hong an excuse to decide Dong Zhuo's fate. After losing his military power, how useful would he be to the eunuchs? After all, if you want a Jiuqing, the eunuchs'
There are too many chess pieces in my hands.
So, after receiving the secret orders from the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo finally made a decision. Of course, you can also think that this was the starting point for the germination of his huge ambition. But who can really explain this kind of thing clearly? ?
In any case, Dong Zhuo's heart has become restless at this time, and the originally planned promotion route seems to have to be overthrown. If it is a guy like Li Shushi, it may find it very troublesome, but for Dong Zhuo, the challenge Isn't it exciting to face a powerful enemy and challenge an unknown destiny? In fact, Dong Zhuo also wants to become a famous minister like Jiang Shang.
Of course, perhaps in Dong Zhuo's eyes, everything he is doing is challenging fate, but in the eyes of others, he is just walking on the path of his own destiny. It is cruel, right, but Dong Zhuo is full of pride now, because The ignorant are fearless.
Many people want to be able to see the future and hope to use this to change this future, but is knowing the future really a good thing? Look at the various and innovative eschatology on the streets of modern society, and you should know that, There is such a huge market for this kind of thing in the world. Even if you are cheated again and again, even if you lose your family and your family because of it, you still don't regret it, just like a red-eyed gambler, looking forward to the next time. In the bet, the goddess of luck will lift up the hem of the long skirt that usually adorns her dignity because of the loneliness of the long night.
So from this point of view, Dong Zhuo can really be said to have no regrets. After all, he has made the most gorgeous seat, ridden the most beautiful and unattainable woman, and has the most splendid wealth and the most powerful The most important thing is that he once reached the pinnacle of power and despised the heroes of the world. I think Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was nothing more than this.
So, if you are dissatisfied with your life and don't care about what happens after you, then it's actually not a bad idea to learn from Dong Zhuo.
And with a "positive role model" like Dong Zhuo, there will naturally be "negative teaching materials", and he is far away and right in front of us.
If Dong Zhuo is working hard for the interests of his group, then Huangfu Song, who is not far from Dong Zhuo's location, is much quieter. Huangfu Song's nephew Huangfu Li is looking at his own with anxiety at this time. Uncle, but he also knew in his heart that some rumors outside had seriously affected his uncle's judgment at this time.
"Uncle, those are all rumors. It must be a trick that Dong Zhuo used because he was afraid of you. What does this mean? It means that they are afraid of us. Uncle, they have begun to feel guilty. This is the time for you to stand up! "
Huangfu Song sat there indifferently, quietly watching the flames on the oil lamp dancing in front of him, as if he didn't listen to Huangfu Li's advice at all. In fact, if Huangfu Song were given a pair of sunglasses, maybe he would You can go directly to cosplay the famous villain BOSS without dressing up, Commander Ikari who can sacrifice everything for his own plan.
Gradually, Huangfu Li stopped his persuasion. Apart from the crackling sound of the flames, there was only the sound of wind whistling outside the window from time to time. Everything seemed so cold and depressing. .
Huangfu Song is naturally not Ikari Yuandu, and his scheming is far less profound than the latter's. However, the two are surprisingly similar in appearance. Why? Because neither of them is very peaceful at this time.
This is not the first time Huangfusong has faced a choice, and it is a decision of great importance. Although compared with the last time Yan Zhong lobbied, a mere former general is several orders of magnitude worse than Qingjun, but in a fundamental sense
Speaking of which, they are actually the same.
Li Ru was right. Since he didn't do it the first time, would it be so easy to break through his bottom line the second time?
No, Huangfu Song really couldn't convince himself, even if it was possible for him to reverse the fate of the Han Dynasty.
But is this his stupidity? Not necessarily.
In his opinion, as long as he dares to kill Dong Zhuo, the emperor's edict ordering him to commit suicide will come. In the final analysis, the person the emperor fears most is not Dong Zhuo, but Huangfu Song, whose merits and winning rate exceed Dong Zhuo!
