Wang Ding wouldn’t look at Wang Yun, whose beard is about to stand up.
Wang Yun should be the one who doesn’t bother to lie, that’s Dong Cheng.
He is Wang Ding's father. Even if he was the one who encouraged Liu Xiejie to return to the east, Wang Ding would not dare to attack him.
Now there is only one other one left - uncle Dong Cheng.
Wang Ding didn't go looking for him, it was enough to confirm that it was the other party.
On the surface, everyone seems to be on the right track, but secretly, there are always people who want to stab Wang Ding in the back.
After sending away Huang Wan, another Dong Cheng came.
It's just that Dong Cheng only advised Liu Xie to return eastward, and Wang Ding couldn't do anything to him.
Wang Ding is a reasonable person.
If Dong Zhuo had killed ministers indiscriminately, the court would not be as peaceful as it is now.
Wang Ding's murderous intention is not as serious as Dong Zhuo's.
He found Jia Xu again and asked, "How can I make Dong Cheng restrain himself?"
Jia Xu said: "Dong Cheng is also a smart man. If the lord calls him here and explains it to him, he will naturally understand."
Wang Ding nodded and immediately sent someone to make arrangements. He would have a banquet for Dong Cheng at his mansion tonight.
Wang Ding rarely entertained other ministers in his mansion.
That is, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, these capable generals around Wang Ding, will often come and go.
When Dong Cheng received the invitation, he almost sat on the ground.
What are you afraid of, what come.
The last time he went to the Wang family was half a year ago, when Wang Yun was reinstated as Situ. Huang Wan was there at that time, but in the blink of an eye, Huang Wan was sent to Xuzhou.
Dong Cheng was a little afraid of meeting Wang Ding, especially since he had just done something wrong yesterday.
Dong Cheng spent the whole afternoon in fear, as if this afternoon was the last afternoon of his life.
I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of Wang's house tonight.
Dong Cheng locked himself in his study, wrote a suicide note, and gave it to his confidant, saying: "If I don't come back tonight, I will send this letter to the palace tomorrow and give it to the noble concubine."
In the evening, Dong Cheng cleaned himself up with the intention of death, and then set out for Wang's house.
In addition to Dong Cheng, Wang Ding also called Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others.
Except for Dong Cheng, everyone present was from Wang Ding.
Dong Cheng almost fell to his knees on the ground.
He cautiously bowed to Wang Ding, and politely greeted Jia Xu, Xu Huang and others before he dared to sit down, but he only dared to touch the chair with half of his buttocks.
His slightly fat body makes people worry that he will roll under the table.
One after another delicious dishes were served by the maids.
Roast duck that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, plump drunken chicken, beef brisket that has been simmered for three hours...
Dong Cheng swallowed. These delicacies can only be eaten at the Wang family.
The last time he came to Wang's house for dinner was when Dong Zhuo was killed. Wang Yun entertained hundreds of officials at a banquet.
Even though two years have passed, Dong Cheng still remembers it fresh. Compared with that time, when Wang Ding hosted a banquet for him, the dishes on the table seemed to be more delicious.
Dong Cheng thought to himself: "Let's just treat it as a meal without a head. Even if it means death, we must still be a dead ghost."
He looked at Wang Ding eagerly. Wang Ding hadn't moved his chopsticks yet. Even if he wanted to eat, Dong Cheng didn't dare to move his chopsticks first.
Another maid came up with a plate. The plate was made of rosewood with gold edges. On the plate was wine from the Western Regions, as well as glass cups.
They were all sent here specially by the people below. Wang Ding did not refuse because he had no idea who gave these things to the Wang family.
"It's really a life-long meal, and I admit it." Dong Cheng swallowed again.
When the wine was put on the table, Wang Ding said: "Uncle, this wine is sent from the Western Regions. Have a taste."
"Okay, let me have a taste first." Dong Cheng picked up the glass cup in front of him.
I took a sip and immediately closed my eyes.
The wine is more fragrant than the ones brewed by Da Han now.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others have also started using their chopsticks.
It's not their first time eating, but they can't eat it every day. Faced with tempting food, they are afraid that others will eat it up if they are slow.
If you eat quickly, you can still have one more bite.
Ma Chao didn't care about his image at all and didn't use chopsticks. He grabbed the roast duck in his left hand and the roast chicken in his right hand.
It was both his and Pound's first time to attend Wang Ding's banquet.
Pound's performance was a little better, but his mouth didn't stop.
Compared with the delicious food tonight, they used to eat shit in Liangzhou.
If Han Sui had told him earlier that there was such delicious food in Chang'an, Ma Chao would not have been willing to leave even if Wang Ding whipped him after he was captured in Chencang.
Delicious food can easily make people forget their worries.
Dong Cheng unknowingly sat firmly in his chair. His mouth was full of food, and he would take a sip of wine from the Western Regions from time to time.
After having enough wine and food, Ma Chao, Pang De and others left one after another.
Dong Cheng was already drunk and hazy. He regarded this meal as his last meal and ate it without any scruples.
He drank more wine than Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
At the end of the banquet, Dong Cheng had already forgotten about life and death. He lay on the table and soon began to purr.
Wang Ding also wanted to have a good talk with Dong Cheng after he had had enough wine and food.
After all, he is very sincere, and he has good food and good wine. It is the wine of the Western Regions, and the food is the spices of the Western Regions.
If Dong Cheng is a little more sensible, he should know how to take sides.
After all, in addition to Dong Cheng tonight, there are also Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De and others, all of whom are Wang Ding's subordinates.
Looking at Dong Cheng who was like a dead pig, Wang Ding shook his head and said: "Let's wait until tomorrow, after he wakes up, to break up with him."
Wang Ding asked someone to notify Dong Cheng's guards and come in to take Dong Cheng away.
But after a while, the servant came back and said: "My lord, Dong Cheng came alone today, without any entourage."
Wang Ding was speechless. As an uncle of the country and the young master of the dynasty, he traveled without any escort or entourage. This was too casual.
Wang Dingdao: "Arrange a room for Uncle Guo to stay in."
Naturally, Wang Ding didn't know that Dong Cheng came with the intention of dying this time, so he didn't want to bring guards with him, lest the guards would be implicated by him and be killed by Wang Ding.

Wang Ding didn't want to send someone to send Dong Cheng back. Anyway, he would have something to say to Dong Cheng tomorrow.
There are still many empty rooms in the mansion, so find one for Dong Cheng to sleep in.
Wang Ding was also a little confused after drinking. After sending Jia Xu and others away, he returned to the room to rest under Diao Chan's service.
Early the next morning, when Wang Ding woke up, Dong Cheng was still sleeping soundly.
It's just that in the uncle's house, the confidant who was entrusted with great trust by Dong Cheng stayed at the gate all night. At dawn, before the palace gate was opened, he had already taken Dong Cheng's suicide note and guarded the palace gate. p>
When the palace door opened, he quickly showed Dong Cheng's token.
After waiting for a while, he was led in by a young eunuch.
Concubine Dong Guifei saw her confidant and asked quickly: "What happened at home? Why does my father want you to enter the palace?"
After entering the palace and becoming the emperor's woman, Concubine Dong has not been home for a long time. She occasionally met in the palace when Dong Cheng entered the palace. As for the rest of the family, Concubine Dong had not seen her for many years. Even Dong Cheng could not come to see Concubine Dong every time he entered the palace.
This is a harem after all, and ordinary men should avoid suspicion.
When the confidants saw Concubine Dong, they immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Dong Hui, my slave, pays homage to Concubine Dong. This is what the master gave to the villain when he left last night. He only said that if he didn't come back, he would let the villain
Give this letter to the imperial concubine."
Concubine Dong's heart sank, she quickly took the letter, immediately tore open the seal and took out the letter paper inside.
"If my son receives this letter, his father should be dead. Don't worry, rest in peace in the harem, don't interfere in the government affairs, and serve His Majesty well..."
Concubine Dong's body went limp. Fortunately, the palace maid next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped her delicate body to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"How could this happen?" Concubine Dong Gui muttered to herself. She could no longer stand the content that followed.
I was confused, my eyes were covered with tears, and my vision was blurred.
"How could it be? How could my father die?"
She looked at the slave Dong Hui who was kneeling on the ground and asked: "What happened?"
She dared not read the letter.
The domestic slave Dong Hui said: "Yesterday at noon, some people from the general's chariots and cavalry sent an invitation to the country's uncle to attend the banquet. Then the country's uncle became restless. When he went to the banquet in the evening, he did not bring any bodyguards to follow him. He only said that
So, if my uncle has not come back, I will give this letter to the empress."
The slave's eyes were all bloodshot. He hadn't slept all night and didn't dare to close his eyes.
He didn't dare to sleep in the first half of the night because he had to wait for Dong Cheng to return.
He was even more afraid to fall asleep in the second half of the night, fearing that if he didn't wake up in the morning, he would miss the opportunity and be unable to deliver the letter to Concubine Dong Guifei.
Concubine Dong Gui covered her small mouth with one hand and held the letter tightly with the other hand. The tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and dripped down her cheeks. She murmured: "How could it be? How could this happen?" The slave has Dong Cheng's token, so it is impossible to deceive her. Although she has not read the letter in her hand, Concubine Dong Gui can be sure that it is Dong Cheng's handwriting.
In the deep palace, her only support is Dong Cheng, who can occasionally see her in the palace.
The love between father and daughter has not weakened because of the separation between the palace and the courtyard wall, but has become stronger.
Moreover, Concubine Dong also hoped that Dong Cheng could give Liu Xie more help while he was away.
Now that she has entered the palace, she will be Liu Xie's woman for the rest of her life, and there will be no change.
After a long time, Concubine Dong managed to control her emotions, wiped the tears from her face, opened the letter in her hand, and continued reading.
"...You did something wrong for your father, and this is why you suffered this disaster. Don't think about avenging me and live a good life."
Concubine Dong Guifei put the letter away and said to the eunuch beside her: "Take him out."
Chariot General Wang Ding, even if she wants revenge, what can she do?
Her only support now is that when she faced Wang Ding today, she would not dare to scold him, let alone kill him.
Concubine Dong Guifei asked the little palace maid to help her back to the palace to rest.
She did not go to see Liu Xie. Since there was no other way, Concubine Dong Guifei did not want to bother Liu Xie.
But Dong Guifei didn't say anything, but one of the little eunuchs beside her ran to inform Liu Xie immediately.
Liu Xie slept peacefully in Fu Shou Fang's palace last night.
When I received the news, my eyes widened, my whole body was shaking, and I looked at the little eunuch in disbelief.
This is his confidant, the little eunuch he trained with great difficulty. Liu Xie believes that the other party will not make such a joke, so it must have been determined.
But Dong Cheng is the uncle of the state. Does Wang Ding dare to kill him directly? Does Wang Ding still have eyes for him as the emperor?
If you can kill your uncle today, can you kill him as the emperor tomorrow?
At this moment, Liu Xie was filled with anger and fear. He was worried that in the next moment, a large number of soldiers would rush into the palace and start massacres, killing everyone on sight. All the eunuchs and maids were slaughtered, and then he himself
, and many of his concubines will also be killed by Wang Ding.
Liu Xie seemed to be going back to five years ago, when he was young, hugged his brother who had not yet been poisoned, and escaped from the palace in Luoyang under the protection of a group of eunuchs.
The dusty memories were opened again.
Fu Shou seemed to notice that something was not right about Liu Xie's current state. She walked to Liu Xie's side and gently hugged Liu Xie's shaking body.
"Your Majesty, perhaps Uncle Dong Guo was not killed." Fu Shou comforted him.
Such big news shouldn't be so calm. Other ministers should have hurried into the palace early in the morning to ask for an audience.
"With Wang Situ here, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
Perhaps the words Wang Situ had an effect, and Liu Xie finally calmed down.
He may not trust others, but Wang Yun and Liu Xie trust him very much, more than Huang Wan who was sent to Xuzhou before.
How could Wang Ding kill Dong Cheng when Wang Yun was around? And he still invited Dong Cheng to a banquet in his mansion.
Wang Yuneng watched helplessly as Wang Ding chopped off Dong Cheng’s head?
Liu Xie said to himself: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Only thinking this way can he have the courage to continue to stay in the palace.
However, Liu Xie still did not dare to leave Fu Shou's palace. He was worried that as soon as he walked out, soldiers would kill him and take his head to claim credit from Wang Ding.
At this moment, except for Fu Shou beside him, Liu Xie did not trust anyone in the palace.
However, after hiding in Fu Shou's palace for a long time, Liu Xie never heard any movement outside. He wanted to send someone out to investigate, but he had no one available.
However, Liu Xie still asked the young eunuch to call Concubine Dong Guifei over.
Later, he also saw the letter Dong Cheng left for Concubine Dong Gui.
The little fantasy in my heart was shattered with the letter.
But what puzzles Liu Xie is why there has been no movement outside despite such a big incident.
Could it be that all the ministers who wanted to enter the palace were killed by Wang Ding?
The three of them were hiding in the palace, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
Wang Ding had no idea that Liu Xie had already thought that Dong Cheng was going to rebel because of a letter from Dong Cheng, so he would send troops to the palace.
When he woke up early in the morning, Dong Cheng was still sleeping soundly.
Dong Cheng drank too much yesterday, and he drank too much. He didn't wake up slowly until about three o'clock in the morning.
When Dong Cheng woke up, he only felt a splitting headache and didn't notice that this was not his bedroom.
As a servant brought a bowl of hangover soup, and after Dong Cheng drank it, the scenes at last night's banquet slowly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little hungry again.
