Dong Zhuo's body was finally thrown outside the city gate of Chang'an by Wang Ding. His head was hung on the city gate.
Someone made a wick and inserted it into Dong Zhuo's belly button.
A lamp was made from Dong Zhuo's corpse, which remained burning for three days and three nights.
Wang Ding has been promoted from Chengmen Colonel to Sili Colonel.
Lu Bu was still a chariot and cavalry general, but he was added to the title of Marquis of Wen, with the authority to take official holidays, and his position was the same as that of the Three Dukes.
Wang Yun was originally ranked among the three nobles, so he was granted the title of Shangshu Ling.
It can be said that the political power is now controlled by Wang Yun alone.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others also received awards.
Several generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Dong Min is dead, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and Niu Fu are all outside now.
The news of Dong Zhuo's death has spread.
In the court, although Wang Yun was very respectful to Liu Xie, he was extremely strict with other ministers.
Wang Yun adopted few of the many suggestions and policies put forward by others.
Some people wanted to recruit Dong Zhuo's old troops, but Wang Yun always refused.
After taking power, Wang Yun's heart inevitably swelled, he became self-willed, and became increasingly unable to listen to other people's words.
However, Wang Ding has been secretly contacting Duan Yan and Xu Rong.
Under Dong Zhuo's command, these two people are considered capable. Wang Ding wants to win over these two people.
As for Hu Zhen, Wang Ding also wanted to kill her. Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and he was also the one who must be killed.
Killing two people and surrendering two people will just divide the Xiliang army.
Several Xiliang armies don't know Wang Yun's attitude yet, so they are still waiting to see.
No one thought about avenging Dong Zhuo, and no one even came to take away Dong Zhuo's head hanging on the city gate.
Death is like a lamp going out. The people who followed Dong Zhuo's orders at first are now looking out for their own interests.
Thinking about how to keep their own status and their own glory and wealth.
These days, besides secretly contacting Xu Rong and Duan Xuan, Wang Ding stays with Diao Chan every day.
Thinking about it, Wang Yun should also think about his marriage with Diao Chan.
But Wang Yun never mentioned it. Every day he was busier than before, so busy that Wang Ding didn't even know where to look for him.
More than half a month passed like this, Wang Yun finally held a banquet at home and invited the court ministers to come to the home for the banquet.
And it also left a place for Wang Ding.
In the planning before Dong Zhuo was executed, many people did not know that Wang Ding was also involved, or how much Wang Ding was involved.
In their view, everything should be led by Wang Yun.
But Wang Ding personally killed Dong Zhuo, which was a great achievement.
No one thinks Wang Ding is too young anymore.
This time Wang Yun invited almost all the top figures.
There are Sikong Yang Biao, Guanglu doctor Huangfu Song, Taiwei Huang Wan, and famous scholar Cai Yong...
Either he is one of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, or he is a famous scholar.
Wang Ding, the Sili school captain, is able to have a seat here. I really want to thank his father, Wang Yun.
Wang Yun didn't even invite Lu Bu to the banquet today.
It was said to be a family banquet, but Wang Yun was still talking about national affairs at the banquet.
Wang Ding also knew that he had no say in front of these big guys. These people were not as easy to fool as Lu Bu. He still sat down, ate something and acted like a transparent person.
Wang Yun sat at the top, holding a wine mug in his hand, smiling and very happy.
For a while he talked about how to govern the world, and for a while he talked about his achievements in killing Dong Zhuo.
The others also accompanied Wang Yun, and everyone smiled. Some complimented Wang Yun, and some talked about Dong Zhuo's past evil deeds.
Wang Ding remained silent, holding a chicken leg and gnawing on it.
However, during the banquet, there was another person like Wang Ding, sitting in the corner without saying a word or eating. He had a wine glass in front of him and had not drank a drop.
Cai Yong looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head slightly, with a worried look on his face.
But Wang Yunke kept staring at him for a long time.
Everyone else is complimenting Wang Yun, but Cai Yong is so noble. Do you think he is also Dong Zhuo, or do you still care about Dong Zhuo?
Wang Yun's face darkened and he shouted: "Everyone is happy because Dong Zhuo was killed. Why is Cai Yongru so depressed and silent, but you are still feeling unhappy and still mourning the thief Dong?"
"Haha, I forgot, you are a guest of Thief Dong."
Without giving Cai Yong a chance to defend himself, Wang Yun immediately called the guards and wanted to put Cai Yong in jail.
"Bo Zhe is also a famous person in the world. How could he be complicit with the Dong thief? In the past, he was forced to work for the Dong thief as a last resort. Please don't blame Situ." Huang Wan and others interceded for Cai Yong.
Wang Yun flicked his sleeves and said: "Gentlemen, don't talk anymore. I will uproot the power of Dong's bandits and I will never allow them to reappear."
The guards have already suppressed Cai Yong.
None of the many ministers present could persuade Wang Yun.
Wang Ding also didn't expect that a wonderful banquet would end in such a result.
Cai Yong, who was respected by Dong Zhuo, was captured by the guards in front of him and put into prison.
Although Wang Yun and many other ministers have always been the people Dong Zhuo wanted to win over, in comparison, Cai Yong was really the one whom Dong Zhuo respected the most.
He was forcibly recruited into the court by Dong Zhuo, and then rose to prominence.
"Gentlemen, today's banquet is over. Please go back to your homes." Wang Yundao.
Seeing this, Yang Biao and others could only shake their heads and leave, thinking about how to save Cai Yong later.
After those ministers left, Wang Ding said: "Father, Cai Yong is a great scholar and is respected by people all over the world. If he is killed today, I am afraid he will lose people's hearts."
Wang Yundao: "As a father, I don't want to be like Dong Zhuo, so what if I lose my heart."
Wang Yun now holds great power and is headstrong, but unlike Dong Zhuo, his heart is still with the big man.
All he did was to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.
He doesn't care what others think of him.
Wang Ding really doesn’t know how to convince Wang Yun.
People like Yang Biao and Huang Wan were not able to convince Wang Yun, and the words of Wang Ding, his son, were even less important than them.
Wang Ding did not hold on to Wang Yun, but insisted on letting Cai Yong go, and immediately changed the topic.
"Father, now that Thief Dong has been brought to justice, shouldn't the matter between the child and Diao Chan be settled?"
Wang Yun nodded and said: "At your age, it's time to start a family. What do you think of Sikong Yang Biao's daughter?"
In Wang Yun's eyes, Diao Chan is just a maid after all.
He could tell Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo that Diao Chan was his adopted daughter to enhance Diao Chan's status.
But if Diao Chan really wants to become Wang Ding's wife, Wang Yun still doesn't agree.
The third son of the Wang family married his own maid, Wang Yun cannot afford to lose face. The reputation of the Wang family cannot be ruined.
Wang Ding shook his head and said: "My child only wants Diao Chan."
We still don’t know what Yang Biao’s daughter looks like, but she is definitely not as beautiful as Diao Chan.
Wang Ding is not stupid, what if Yang Biao’s daughter is a crooked melon and a cracked jujube.
Wang Yun cares about his family background, but Wang Ding does not.
Not to mention that Diao Chan is a maid, so what if she is a beggar.
