Chapter 398 Dong Zhuo: Cai Shizhong, we need to prepare well
Chapter 398 Dong Zhuo: Cai Shizhong, we need to prepare the dowry carefully (three-in-one, please vote for me)
"Dong Zhuo goes to the palace to meet the emperor! I don't know what arrogant things he will do!"
Xun Shuang's old servant got the news and came to inform Xun Shuang.
Some people hope that Xun Sikong can go to the palace at this time, do some work in the middle, and protect the emperor to prevent Dong Zhuo, a crazy guy, from doing something unspeakable.
When Xun Shuang heard this, he sighed and said to the old servant: "Let's go and have a look. Someone will always come forward at this time."
After that, he walked out with a cane in his hand, looking a little shaky...
…
Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was very panicked.
Ever since he learned that Wang Yun and Lu Bu had used his name to get rid of Dong Zhuo, he had been panicking in his heart.
I was worried that Dong Zhuo, an arrogant and domineering guy, would cause trouble for him.
However, he did not resent Wang Yun and Lu Bu for doing this.
On the contrary, I am very grateful.
Because from such behavior, he could know that this big man still had people's hearts for the Han Dynasty and for him, the emperor.
Moreover, in this process, Wang Yun also left some back-up and leeway.
When he was attacking Dong Zhuo at the Fengfeng Tower, Lu Bu shouted out that he had been ordered by the emperor to punish the thieves.
In fact, there was no imperial edict.
This is the room Wang Yun left for Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Dynasty.
They really succeeded in killing Dong Zhuo, so the words Lu Bu shouted, regardless of whether the emperor's edict was revealed, would have the same effect as the emperor's edict.
The emperor will gain great majesty from it and can strengthen the emperor's power.
If they failed, Dong Zhuo would not get the emperor's edict to attack Dong Zhuo from them.
In this way, no matter how angry Dong Zhuo was in his heart, he could not really do anything unspeakable to the Emperor of Han.
Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was young but very intelligent.
Especially the continuous huge changes over the past year or so have made him grow tremendously.
Let him see Wang Yun's painstaking efforts through these things.
"Wang Situ is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's thieves were too insidious and cunning. They noticed these things in advance, but they did nothing and specially lured Wang Situ and others to take action...
When I take power, I must posthumously confer Wang Situ the title of Taifu and the king of a different surname!
To show his loyalty!"
Liu Xie clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Not only Wang Yun, but also Lu Bu also took note of it, preparing to be promoted to Taiwei when the time comes.
Just as he was thinking about this, someone suddenly came to tell him that Grand Master Dong Zhuo had driven him into the palace in a chariot and wanted to see the emperor.
Liu Xie's face couldn't help but turn pale.
Subconsciously I want to avoid it.
No matter what, he is still a young man several years younger than Liu Shui.
He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and calmed himself down...
…
"Xun Sikong, why are you here?"
In the palace, Dong Zhuo saw Xun Shuang, smiled secretly in his heart, and asked Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang saluted Dong Zhuo respectfully: "I heard that the traitor Wang Yun was judged and died by the people, and he got the punishment he deserved. He felt happy and went to the Grand Master to share his joy.
When I learned that the Grand Master was coming to the palace to meet the Emperor, I followed him."
Dong Zhuo smiled: "Sikong came just in time. I came to the palace to tell the emperor about this matter.
Why don't Sikong come with me to see the emperor, and the three of us can talk about this matter together."
Xun Shuang nodded and walked forward behind Dong Zhuo's carriage...
…
"Liu Xie respectfully welcomes the Grand Master."
After the carriage moved forward for a short distance, Liu Xie, led by several eunuchs, had already hurried over before reaching the emperor's palace.
After seeing Dong Zhuo's carriage, he quickly stepped forward and greeted Dong Zhuo as he was being pushed onto the carriage.
Dong Zhuo said: "The emperor has a noble status, how can he pay tribute to his ministers? This is against the rules."
Although he said this, he did not get up. He just sat on the chariot and calmly accepted the salute and greetings from Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
After accepting it, he did not stand up from the car to return the favor to the little emperor.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward and heavy for a while.
When Xun Shuang saw this, he leaned on crutches and stepped forward tremblingly, saluting the little emperor and saying hello.
The young emperor Liu Xie quickly returned the greetings to Xun Shuang and asked about Xun Shuang's condition.
With Xun Shuang talking to him, the atmosphere inside suddenly became much better.
"It's hot outside. Please invite the Grand Master and Sikong, two important ministers of the country, to sit together in the palace."
After chatting with Xun Shuang for a few words, Liu Xie invited Dong Zhuo and Xun Shuang with a smile.
People change and grow.
More than a year later, the young emperor Liu Xie was no longer the young man who, as King Chenliu, scolded Dong Zhuo who led the army.
Although it is autumn at this time, some millets are already ripe, and the weather is said to be crisp and clear.
But this is not the case.
The cool air in autumn is only at night, evening and early morning.
The rest of the day, the sun was shining brightly and it was still extremely hot.
"We are ministers, and it is against the rules to enter the hall.
There are already many people talking about me. If I follow His Majesty into the hall today, I am afraid that many people will dislike me.
Maybe after leaving, someone will follow the emperor's order again and attack and kill the minister.
The old minister is really frightened."
Dong Zhuo sat on the carriage, looked at the little emperor Liu Xie standing in front of him, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but tense up, and he quickly saluted Dong Zhuo: "Master's words are serious.
The Grand Master is an important minister of the country. Without the Grand Master, I am afraid that the government would have been controlled by Yuan Shao and others.
The grand master has made great contributions to the country.
Without the Grand Master, I don’t know how many people would die in this Guanzhong place...
Si...I don't know anything about what Wang Yun and Lu Bu's traitor did.
It is even less possible to issue an edict to them that would be detrimental to the Grand Master.
These are two thieves, Wang Yun and Lu Bu, who falsely passed the imperial edict and committed chaos.
Please also ask the Grand Master to observe clearly..."
Liu Xie seemed a little eager to explain to Dong Zhuo, keeping his posture very low.
We don't even address each other as "I" anymore, we directly address each other as "I"...
At the same time, he secretly cursed Dong Zhuo in his heart.
You said it's unruly to enter the main hall, but your mother just entered my harem to sleep when she had nothing to do, so it's in line with the rules?!
This shows that they are here to ask questions and to make trouble for themselves.
Above Dong Zhuo's Chariot, the supporting facilities are very comprehensive. In addition to shield-wielding warriors, etc., there is also an umbrella cover for shade.
It was already close to noon, when the sun was scorching.
Dong Zhuo was sitting on the carriage, covered with shade, so he didn't feel too hot.
But standing in the sun, Liu Xie and Xun Shuang were not so relaxed.
Especially Liu Xie.
Not only do they have to face Dong Zhuo's mountain-like pressure, but they also have to accept the destruction from the vicious sunlight...
Dong Zhuo didn't speak for a long time after hearing this.
He deliberately put enough psychological pressure on the little emperor, and took the opportunity to show off the little emperor vigorously, so that Mr. Liu would remember.
Otherwise, it would just be a matter of specially choosing this kind of weather and coming across something like this.
After waiting for a while, he finally said: "It's better to be careful. Some things are true and false. Who knows which ones are true and which ones are false?
If the old minister had not been careful, someone might have had his head chopped off that day with the emperor's edict..."
Still smiling but not smiling, still heart-wrenching.
Liu Xie was already sweating profusely.
Not far away from the edge, Xun Shuang, who had secretly helped the emperor to get rid of the siege before, had sweat on his forehead.
His body, which was already a little shaky, has now become even more shaky.
When the young man Liu Xie heard this, he thought quickly in his heart about what to say.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Dong Zhuo's angry, obviously reprimanding words spoken again.
"Your Majesty keeps saying that Xun Sikong and I are important ministers of the country, but is this how your Majesty treats important ministers of the country?!"
Liu Xie was instantly confused by Dong Zhuo's words and didn't know what he was referring to.
He had to deal with it reluctantly: "Why did the Grand Master say this? How dare I..."
"I think you are very brave, Your Majesty!
Previously, Wang Yunlu Bu had received an edict from the Emperor to kill the minister, whom His Majesty said was an important minister of the country.
The old minister was wise and did not let the thieves succeed.
Now, the sun is so strong, the weather is so hot, and Xun Sikong is old and sick. Your Majesty ignores this and just lets Xun Sikong bask in the sun!
Xun Sikong is not as young and strong as your Majesty.
You can afford to bask in the sun here, but Xun Sikong can’t!
By acting like this, aren’t you just trying to kill Xun Sikong?!”
After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Xie knew what Dong Zhuo was talking about.
I couldn't help but feel angry about it.
You are obviously here to force yourself not to enter the main hall, right?
Now he is slandering himself!
Besides, Gu Ye is still just a child!
Where did such physical strength come from?
With this thought in his mind, he quickly apologized, saying that he had not considered it well, and even asked the eunuch next to him to remove the umbrella cover and shade Xun Shuang.
Get a stool and let Xun Shuang sit on it.
Xun Shuang declined, and Liu Xie quickly tried to persuade him and came over to help Xun Shuang sit down.
Xun Shuang had no choice but to thank him, apologize and sit down.
Liu Xie, on the other hand, returned to his original position and continued to stand in the sun waiting for Master Dong's lecture, very honestly...
Two hours later, Dong Zhuo's car turned around and slowly drove away from the palace...
After Xun Shuang saluted the emperor and said goodbye, he got into the ox cart with the help of his old servant and left here in the ox cart.
Liu Xie, whose face was red from the sun, followed and was escorted out of the palace.
Standing in front of the door, he saluted Dong Zhuo's chariot and Xun Shuang's bullock chariot, and respectfully sent the two important officials off.
It seems that Dong Zhuo, who was driven away from the palace in a chariot, is the emperor of this great man, while the real emperor Liu Xie is just a humble wretch.
Liu Xie suppressed his dizziness and dry mouth, and stood here respectfully watching them leave.
He waited until Dong Zhuo was out of sight, then turned around and gritted his teeth, walking towards the palace step by step with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, please drink some water."
A eunuch brought a bowl of water to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie drank it all in one go.
"Pour me another bowl."
he said.
The eunuch quickly fell again.
After drinking three large bowls of water in a row, my stomach was so full that I couldn't drink any more, so I gave up.
I feel like I've come back a little bit...
Liu Xie looks normal, no different from when Dong Zhuo and Xun Shuang were around.
Until he entered his bedroom and closed all the doors...
The emperor of the Han Dynasty, who remained calm, disappeared, leaving only a little boy sitting in the corner, curled up into a ball, holding his sunburned head with his sunburned arms, suppressing his cries, shaking and crying...
…
Dong Zhuo said a few words to Xun Shuang, then parted ways with him, and the car turned around and headed towards his mansion.
Xun Shuang, with the support of his old servant, got off the bullock cart and respectfully saw Dong Zhuo off.
Dong Zhuo thought about what happened in the palace today and felt comfortable all over.
As for whether this would be too bullying...
Dong Zhuo didn't realize it.
After all, Wang Yun and Lu Bu had promised to kill him under the emperor's decree before.
Although the emperor's edict was never really obtained from them or from their family, it cannot be said that the little emperor can get away with it.
The other party was going to kill him, so it was not too much for him to do these things.
In Dong Zhuo's opinion, he did not kill the little emperor on the spot, which was enough to give him face!
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a boiling sound in front of me.
Dong Zhuo's three hundred elite flying bear army guards immediately became vigilant and protected Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's eyes looked a little strange.
I wonder what kind of existence could be so bold.
Wang Yun was executed just today, and there are people making noise here again.
If there is really a rebellion in this noise, then after he catches this person, he will have to study carefully what the rebel is thinking in his heart...
“Uncle Liu Huang’s great victory in Xichuan!
Break the sword gate, break the Mianzhu! Behead the rebel Liu Yan!!"
Just as he was thinking this, a hoarse roar came out from the boiling sound.
Then the red-feathered messenger, stained by the dust of travel and wearing the stars and the moon, appeared in Dong Zhuo's sight.
Behind them were the people of Chang'an who were running with them.
And a burst of cheers!
Dong Zhuo sat on the carriage and was stunned for a moment. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his fat face.
In the palace before, he had never stood up from his seat when facing the young emperor Liu Xie. He slapped his thigh fiercely, pressed the armrest on the side, and stood up.
Looking at the lively and joyful scene ahead, everyone was very excited.
"Ke De is indeed the best in the world!!
The steep terrain of Yizhou could not stop him even for a moment!
When he left, he told me that Yizhou would be solved in as soon as three months or as late as the end of the year!
It has only been a little more than two months, and the news of the successful execution of Liu Yan has already been received!!"
Dong Zhuo stood on the carriage and murmured excitedly to himself.
Xun Shuang, who was being protected by his old servant over there, also reached out and pulled his old servant aside.
The expression on his face also seemed particularly excited.
"Sure enough, the sharpness is the best in the world! Uncle Liu Huang has the appearance of an emperor!"
Xun Shuang murmured to himself.
Amidst the cheers that resounded, Xun Shuang's muttering to himself disappeared as soon as he left his mouth. No one ever heard these amazing words...
"Informing the Prime Minister, Zhang Wenyuan sneaked across Yinping Road and risked his life to descend to Motian Ridge! Uncle Liu Huang repeatedly defeated Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass!
Under Mianzhu City, scold Liu Yan to death, and defeat Mianzhu in one battle..."
When the red plumage envoy saw Dong Zhuo driving away, he rushed all the way to report the exciting news to Dong Zhuo.
They galloped all the way from Xichuan without much rest on the way. They didn't know that Dong Zhuo had become the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty and was regarded as the prime minister of the country.
Dong Zhuo did not feel dissatisfied with this.
On the contrary, he was extremely happy.
"Hahaha……"
He laughed heartily, then slapped the big shield held by a strong man next to him, and praised in his mouth: "My true grandson-in-law!"
After that, he took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, threw it to the leader Hong Ling and said urgently: "Take this jade pendant and sell it. You guys can buy wine and eat it!"
Several red feather envoys who came all the way and looked very embarrassed quickly thanked them.
The jade pendant taken off Dong Xiangguo's waist must be extraordinary.
Very valuable.
It was only then that Dong Zhuo, who was so excited, suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Just now you said, how did the traitor Liu Yan die?"
The leader of the group, Hong Ling, hurriedly said: "Please report to the Prime Minister.
At that time, Liu Yan rebelled against the traitors and stood on Mianzhu City. He cursed Uncle Liu and asked him to interview him.
The emperor's uncle stood up, punished him with great justice, and moved him with true feelings.
Liu Yan, the traitor, was so ashamed that Uncle Liu told the truth. He screamed and fell down from the wall of Mianzhu City, falling to his death..."
Even though Dong Zhuo had led his troops through many battles in the past, he was stunned for a moment when he heard what the red-feathered envoy said.
No matter what, he never imagined that Liu Yan would die in such a way!
"This...this is really surprising. He is my great grandson-in-law!"
Dong Zhuo, who was confused, thought about it for a long time before he finally came up with a word of praise.
"Words can kill people, the ancients will not deceive me!"
Li Ru, who was stunned and stunned, also sighed.
Not only them, but even Xun Shuang, who was not too far away and muttered that Uncle Liu Huang had the appearance of an emperor, were stunned by the news for a long time.
I don’t know how to express my feelings at the moment...
…
Hong Ling's urgent envoys came all the way from Xichuan and brought news of Liu Cheng's victory in Xichuan. The whole of Chang'an suddenly became excited again.
Full of joy.
This kind of military victory is the most inspiring.
"Cai Shizhong, you and I need to prepare the dowry carefully for the wedding of Kede's child!
I thought that Kede would not be able to defeat Yizhou so quickly, so we could keep our beloved children at home for more time and spend more time with him.
Who would have thought that this kid Ke De would still be as sharp as ever when fighting.
Wherever the enemy points, those who stand in his way are invincible.
In just a short time, Yizhou was already captured.
This is forcing us to quickly marry the apple of our eyes to him."
At Dong Zhuo's house, Dong Zhuo looked at Cai Yong and said this with a smile.
There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in the words, but the whole person was already about to take off happily.
Li Ru, who was standing next to him, turned his face to the side and curled his lips secretly.
He didn't want to see his father-in-law in this state for a moment...
Speaking of which, when I got married to my wife before, I had never seen my father-in-law so happy.
Sure enough, comparing people to each other will make people angry...
Could it be that this is the legendary distant relative?
Li Ru thought so in his heart, he felt like he had eaten a lemon, it was so sour that he gritted his teeth and choked...
"That's what the Grand Master said!
I am just a daughter, and I still want to stay with you for a while longer. How can I imagine that this kid, Ke De, can fight so bravely...
well……
When I think of the daughter of my family being married away, I feel empty in my heart."
The smile on Cai Yong's face could no longer be suppressed. It was so strong that the wrinkles on his face could kill flies.
But here he pretends to sigh, saying he is reluctant to give up.
Seeing these two old men competing in their acting skills here, one getting the better of the other and being more obedient, Li Ru's face twitched, and he just wanted to leave quickly and ignore these two guys...
Perhaps because his granddaughter and Cai Yong's daughter were both married to the same person, Dong Zhuo looked at Cai Yong with a particularly warm look.
Of course, it is also possible that, judging from this relationship, Dong Zhuo himself was a generation higher than Cai Yong out of thin air, and became Cai Yong's uncle to a certain extent...
The two of them were discussing how to proceed with the wedding here, and they were very serious and happy.
If those people outside who were shocked by Dong Zhuo's evil reputation saw such a scene, they would definitely be shocked.
Is this still the extremely cruel Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying who kills his whole family at every turn?!
…
Joy is contagious.
For example, Lu Bu's widow Yan was affected by the joyous news of Liu Cheng's victory in Yizhou and the execution of Liu Yan, and she seemed very happy.
They all cried with joy.
Originally, according to Dong Zhuo's idea, Wang Yun's family and Lu Bu's family, who were the leader of the thieves, were to be killed.
The time set was the third day after Wang Yun was executed.
The reason why it took such a long time was because some of Wang Yun's family members were not in Chang'an, but in Taiyuan, and they needed time to arrest them.
Previously, Huang Zhong and Xun Yu had interceded for the Lu Bu family, hoping that Dong Zhuo would avoid their death penalty.
Dong Zhuo refused.
But today, Wang Yunlu Bu was judged by the people and died.
This method of death was more uncomfortable for Wang Yun than cutting his flesh with a knife.
Dong Zhuo went to the palace again and gave the young emperor a good scolding.
Immediately afterwards, they met the Red Ling envoy again and received news of Liu Cheng's victory in Xichuan.
Today, good news comes one after another for Dong Zhuo.
When he was in a good mood, when he thought of Lu Bu's young family, he no longer felt such hatred, so he immediately pardoned him.
After learning that she and her daughter were pardoned because Uncle Liu Emperor Yizhou was victorious and Taishi Dong was in a good mood, Yan couldn't help crying for joy.
Then I felt extremely complicated inside.
She was Lu Bu's pillow, and she knew that the fundamental reason why her husband ended up taking such a path lay with Uncle Liu Huang.
As a result, now, my mother and daughter were indirectly exempted from the death penalty because of Uncle Liu Huang...
This is really a bit unclear...
"Mom, the baby doesn't have a grandpa anymore. The baby wants a grandpa..."
A girl about five or six years old hugged Ms. Yan and cried.
