In the early morning, there was light fog, and a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.
It is early winter now, and the cold wind blowing along the Yellow River makes pedestrians on the street feel shuddering. Although a large number of children from aristocratic families came in and out of Luoyang some time ago, the streets of Luoyang seemed to have returned to their former prosperity.
, many new shops have grandly opened in Luoyang, but more shops are quietly leaving.
Because the Xiliang army seems to have become more and more unscrupulous.
Of course, this kind of unscrupulousness seems to have become more and more intense in recent times, because a lot of strange rumors seem to have begun to spread on the streets of Luoyang recently. Well, let's call those circulating words rumors.
Anyway, this definition was issued by Dong Zhuo, the highest-ranking prime minister (father) in Luoyang City at that time. As for whether you believe it or not, Dong Zhuo's order has been issued anyway, and the Xiliang army is conducting a citywide search. They absolutely believe it.
Therefore, the people of Luoyang City can often see groups of people strung up with ropes being driven out from the gates of the mansions of wealthy families. Although most of them are old people, there are also some who have dull eyes as if they have been spoiled.
's woman.
The people of Luoyang did not know where these people went, but they knew that they could not express any opinions on such a thing, because everyone who showed an expression of indignation about this matter had already "disappeared" in broad daylight.
Even outsiders can see the chilling atmosphere in Luoyang City very clearly, because the rumors circulating can already explain everything.
A few days ago…
"Hmph! Your Majesty is so well-behaved, how could you draft such an edict that is so treasonous! And he drafted so many versions for the same thing. This is really ridiculous. Now those short-sighted guys are still...
If you give them a little sunshine, they will shine brilliantly. They don't have a lot of time, but they are very capable. They even dare to do such a heinous thing as forging imperial edicts!"
Dong Zhuo pointed at some pieces of paper on the table and said angrily. His angry and laughing expression made the men in front of him afraid to express their anger, for fear that they would be punished by Dong Zhuo if they were not careful. Even Li
At this time, Ru could only stand beside Dong Zhuo silently.
In fact, all the generals are very clear about the contents of those pieces of paper, because similar remarks in Luoyang are spreading very quickly these days, such as Dong Zhuo sleeping on the dragon bed at night, wanting to learn from the emperor's luck, and why the queen vowed to die, which made him angry.
There are a lot of comments about Dong Zhuo's torture and murder. In comparison, such things as promiscuous palace maids are no longer a big deal.
At first, everyone, including Dong Zhuo, didn't pay much attention to it, because Dong Zhuo really dismissed Liu Hong's palace maids who survived the turmoil, and those who couldn't be dismissed were given to his subordinates as rewards, and his subordinates even became angry because of this.
Dong Zhuo also turned a blind eye to the conference and so on. Anyway, this kind of thing is really not a big deal for the Xiliang Army.
But within a few days, the situation was different, because Dong Zhuo received definite news that the Kwantung princes were plotting to unite with each other, and they also issued a secret edict that was said to have come from Liu Xie and even Liu Bian. The original copy of the edict is naturally unknown.
I learned that, but the content was full of emotion and emotion, enough to make those who saw it want to eat Dong Zhuo's flesh, peel off Dong Zhuo's skin and throw it into the street to light up sky lanterns.
Of course, Li Shushi actually circulated it. Take one version for example. In the words of Zhong Yao, the writing style is: "Your Majesty does not have such a good literary talent. You can tell that this edict was written by Chen Kongzhang at a glance. Tsk tsk, tsk tsk,
What an excellent article.”
As a result, Li Shushi and his subordinates knew that the honeymoon period of those powerful families with Dong Zhuo was completely over.
However, with the emergence of various versions of secret edicts and the intensive contact between the Guandong princes, the "rumor incident" that was originally ignored was re-positioned in Dong Zhuo's cases, because the human traces in this incident were too obvious.
.
Of course, the most important thing is that because of Dong Zhuo's previous neglect, those thoughtful people have gone so far as to spread the secret edicts promulgated by the Kwantung princes in Luoyang City and incited the people and soldiers of Luoyang City to take up arms to resist Dong Zhuo's "tyranny".
Dong Zhuo is naturally not afraid of the attack of the Kwantung Allied Forces, but he also does not want to go forward to meet the enemy. Luoyang City has changed its owner and even the way for the Xiliang Army to return to the west has been blocked. Then Dong Zhuo is really
There is no way from heaven to earth.
So, the audition for the first "Dong Zhuo Thought Shining Cup" super challenge competition, oh no, the audition activity should have begun.
Today, after several days of turmoil, on this slightly cold winter morning after the Winter Festival, although the people of Luoyang feel that the city of Luoyang is so peaceful, they can finally enjoy the peaceful environment that they have not been able to enjoy for several days.
However, they did not realize what kind of tragedy was taking place in the palace not far from their settlement.
The director of this drama, which should be regarded as a serious drama, is naturally Dong Feifei, who is ready to go to war. In addition to Dong Feifei, who likes to wear multiple hats, leading many tableware starring roles, there is also our Yuan Wei
The adults and little Liu Xie who is trembling now.
Dong Zhuo had already thought of the name of this drama, and he told everyone the name in an unusually calm tone.
"The Bloody Road" - a name that makes people feel chills running down their backs and making their bodies tremble uncontrollably, is also the path that overlords must take to reach the top. This path is what Dong Zhuo has prepared for himself.
, but it is also prepared for other people.
For this day, Dong Zhuo took out his bright and most gorgeous armor with gluttonous tiger patterns, put on his most cherished scarlet cloak made of Shu brocade, and hung some unique Qiang ornaments on his head and body.
.
After everything was prepared, Dong Zhuo got on his beloved BMW Red Tu. This BMW, which was originally supposed to be given to Lu Bu in history, still stayed with Dong Zhuo because Wang Yue didn't like horse fighting and was excellent at foot fighting.
Of course, this kind of result is what Dong Zhuo is most happy to see. After all, as long as he is not hot-headed on the battlefield and insists on challenging an impossible target alone like Don Quixote, and then being shot into a hedgehog by the enemy, then BMW will definitely
He will be the most important fighting partner of the soldiers.
Didn’t you see that with the red tug horse, Guan Erye really accomplished such a feat as taking the head of a general out of ten thousand troops, just like searching a bag to retrieve an object?
Although Yan Liang, as a supporting role, really refused to die with his eyes closed, it also showed the speed of Chi Tu from one side.
The only thing that is puzzling is why Guan Yu still rode the red tug in his twilight years. Even when the red tug was delivered to Pan Zhang, he finally understood its magnificent sound. From Dong Zhuo to Pan Zhang, this red tug was called
That’s enough living fossils.
Okay, we'll talk about the issue of Red Tuma later. Today is mainly a day for Dong Feifei to vent his anger and undergo some kind of transformation. Don't let trivial things like Red Tuma steal the spotlight.
Let's turn the camera back to the Royal Palace, the main shooting location today.
In the Luoyang Palace in early winter, the sun was warm and there was rarely much wind blowing. The bluestone road leading to the outside of the Jiade Hall in the Nangong Palace of the Luoyang Royal Family had been cleaned by the palace staff, and the water droplets remaining on the stone slabs dispersed under the background of the sun.
A crystal light shines out.
Of course, the palace people who were cleaning this place were definitely not in the mood to look at such a beautiful scenery. Instead, they all wanted to stay away from here, because many of them had received some gossip that something would happen here that made people wonder for several days.
You may have little appetite and may even secrete excess fluid due to violent gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is obviously not good for your health.
Afterwards, this area was completely surrounded by Dong Zhuo's troops.
Although similar actions are performed every day, the number of soldiers who appeared today seemed to be much larger than before, and the expressions on the soldiers' faces also added a touch of sternness to the solemnity of the past, which confirmed those people's suspicions.
In fact, those who were uneasy no longer needed to continue guessing, because as the soldiers stood at their posts, the prison cars transporting prisoners entered the palace and stopped on the bluestone road that was still shining with water.
Come down.
The prisoners in the prison car were all members of aristocratic families who had "missed" in Luoyang City in the past few days and some "hot-blooded" elements. There were not many scars on their bodies, but their gray faces showed that they were a little depressed at this time, and
It can be seen from their withered cheeks that although they were not tortured, they probably suffered a lot of mental torture.
The steps of these people are somewhat frivolous, and some older prisoners even have to be supported by soldiers before they have the strength to move forward. I don’t know if this situation occurs because Dong Zhuo lowered their food standards in order to ensure food supply, or is it because
They planned to imitate the sages and imitate Boyi Shuqi and the beggars of Naqi. Only the people involved would know if they refused to eat the food sent by Dong Zhuo. Anyway, if you just look at the surface, the appearance of these people is really the same as what they had seen a few days ago.
The appearance is completely different.
Under the cold eyes of the soldiers, these people were placed one by one on the bluestone road from the palace entrance to the steps in front of the main entrance of Jiade Hall. Because of the large number of people, they were placed quite evenly.
close.
There is an advantage to this. Although the bluestone road is bitingly cold after being sprinkled with water, there is still a trace of warmth passing by. However, many people are unable to radiate heat outside due to their empty stomachs.
It's really limited.
Although these prisoners behind bars do not know what Dong Zhuo plans to do, the only thing they can be sure of is that with Dong Zhuo's violence, there is no way for them to survive. Perhaps the only difference for them is that when they die,
Is it better to be tortured to death by all kinds of torture or to be beheaded directly on the execution ground and have a happy life?
However, judging from today's situation, it is obvious that the latter situation has become a luxury for them.
Even though, many ministers had already brought various forms of petitions filled with remonstrances, hoping that Dong Zhuo could pardon their crimes.
However, these people also knew very well that what they did was just doing their best, and the relationship between scholars and Dong Zhuo was no longer the close relationship it once was. The most important thing is that they obviously thought that Dong Zhuo was like this
This action was killing the chicken to show the monkey. In order to shock the princes in Guandong, Dong Zhuo obviously didn't mind going too far, even though he knew that such behavior might anger some powerful princes.
As the winter sun climbed hard to the zenith, the bloody road paved to welcome the emperor had been laid.
ps: I would like to pay tribute to Chen's "Fire Phoenix" by this and the following plot. It was this book that completely subverted many of my ideas about the characters of the Three Kingdoms. And this paragraph was the one that gave me the initial shock.
