Three Kingdoms

Dong Zhuo looked with disdain at Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was about two or three horses ahead of him. He turned his head and whispered to Li Ru, who was half a horse behind him: "How can Zian of the Liu family be so cowardly?"

In Dong Zhuo's view, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not qualified. He was not like a man from the Liu family. He was always worried about small money. Unexpectedly, this generation of young emperors of the Han Dynasty did not have the spirit of the old Liu family. People who grew up among blood and fire looked down upon him.

But then again, didn’t some weak emperors emerge at the end of that dynasty? If he is a bit bloody, he will not let his dynasty perish so easily. He will fight to the death no matter what, right?

A large part of the reason why the Han Dynasty has a lofty status in history is that most of the emperors of the Liu family in the Han Dynasty were bloody. According to tradition, every prince had to go through various assessments by the old emperor before ascending the throne. He was weak and incompetent. The successor will be excluded from the position of successor, but it is a pity that this generation of Han Ling Emperor has many women, leaving not many children, and there is nothing to choose from.

However, during the time when the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, in the minds of ordinary people, the imprint of Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Liu Xie and other outstanding Liu family descendants on the common people was still too profound, leading most people to think that the Liu family's descendants should be so outstanding.

A person who originally thought he was brave and holy turns out to be a weak coward. This kind of collapse of the idol in his heart is not acceptable to ordinary people.

So Dong Zhuo was very disappointed. At first, he had some thoughts of repaying his gratitude. After all, his official position and status were given by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. But now when he looked at Emperor Han Shao Emperor, his little loyalty to him completely disappeared. .

This is also the fundamental reason why Dong Zhuo was respectful and arrogant when he met the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In comparison, Dong Zhuo looked at King Chen Liu more favorably. At least he was quite courageous, so he was not unable to speak clearly, and he could still look a little like Liu Jiazi.

Li Ru observed Dong Zhuo's expression, and seemed to point to King Chen Liu unintentionally and said: "This son was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong herself." Since Dong Zhuo doesn't like Han Shao Emperor, he might as well give him more, the Empress Dowager Dong brought him up. Even though he was half of the Dong family, he would be somewhat more approachable than the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who was raised by He Jin's sister, the Queen Mother He.

Is this your choice?

Li Ru glanced at Situ Wang Yun and others who had been pushed to the back of the team with the corner of his eyes, and he guessed a little bit about their thoughts. Since ancient times, when the emperor is strong, his ministers will be weak, and when the emperor is weak, his ministers will be strong. Only when the emperor is weak can ministers have the opportunity to be arrogant. If the emperor is too strong, his ministers will be frightened and embarrassed all day long.

But Li Ru prefers this model in which the king strengthens the ministers, and the ministers strengthen the king. The king and the ministers stimulate each other. Although there are frictions, they can complement each other. Although this road is not easy to follow, this is what a bloody man should take. The true kingly way. Therefore, Li Ru looked down upon these bloodless Shandong nobles.

Li Ru summoned a messenger: "Send the general's order, and the front troops will speed up and enter the city. Send more sergeants along the way to announce that Dong Jiujia, the governor of Xiliang, has returned to the court! The rear troops of the Chinese army will camp under the city!"

The ordering soldier glanced at Dong Zhuo, saw Dong Zhuo nodded and waved, and agreed to the order.

This is the spirit of a hero.

Know how to employ people, delegate power, and focus on the general direction without focusing on small details. Li Ru thought that Dong Zhuo had all these conditions. As for being lecherous and hot-tempered, Li Ru said that these were nothing to worry about.

Which emperor in that dynasty didn't have a harem filled with beauties that he couldn't even poke through? Which emperor in that dynasty didn't have a little temper and killed people to relieve his boredom?

****************

"Xiliang Wufu goes too far!"

Situ Wang Yun returned home angrily and was very angry. The rescue mission that was about to be achieved was just a little bit short. As a result, the cooked duck flew away and became the sole responsibility of Dong Zhuo of Xiliang. In order to save the emperor, everyone else stood aside. Even he, a dignified Situ at the time, did not even inform him after entering the city, and just left him alone. What's more, when he wanted to follow the emperor into the palace, He was actually stopped by Xiliang soldiers, saying that no one could enter the palace without General Dong's order!

I, a dignified Situ, am just an idler?

It’s really annoying!

"Come here! Send my name to Taifu Yuan Kai's house, tell me about the newly arrived fine tea, and invite Taifu to come and taste it."

This is the territory of Shandong nobles!

You Xiliang martial artist, if I don’t give you some medicine and teach you a lesson, you still don’t know how high and thick the sky is!

*************

Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, the captains of the Dian Army, were also banging on the table angrily at home at this moment.

They had just received information from the palace that Emperor Han Shao and King Chen Liu had returned. Unexpectedly, it was Dong Zhuo of Xiliang who sent them back, not Situ Wang Yun's group as Cao Cao had expected.

There is also a more important piece of information. Almost all the Cao family members who were originally in the palace were massacred in this rebellion.

If Cao Cao had not separated from Yuan Shao immediately after breaking the door and went to protect several Cao family members in the palace, it is estimated that the Cao family members in the palace would have been completely wiped out this time.

These aristocratic families are so cruel!

Now that the Cao family's tentacles in the palace have almost been cut off, it means that all the efforts of the previous two or three generations have been basically wasted, and they have to start from scratch again. All the time and financial resources originally invested have been wasted.

There is another point that makes Cao Cao not only angry, but also sad. No matter how hard he tries to get closer to these noble families, he still can't get in. Just like the Cao family sacrificed so much this time, it can be regarded as standing in the confrontation. The eunuchs were at the forefront of the charge, but when they gathered the troops to meet them, Cao Cao was not included.

Even the drunkard Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the left military academy, and the incompetent Zhao Meng, the captain of the right military academy, were notified, but he was omitted intentionally or unintentionally. After all, he was also the official Dianjun captain of the imperial court, so why couldn't he go?

What makes Cao Cao even more sad is, are all the Yuan family's nature so indifferent?

Yuan Shu has been at odds with each other for a long time. Regardless of whether the Yuan family explained something behind this time, it was obvious that he was cheated yesterday. I will not retaliate for this grudge in the future. Just talk about you, Yuan Shao. Anyway, we are together. You have been cheated and we have fought side by side, but you turned around and the Yuan family offered you some benefits, then threw your original comrades aside and ran back to the Yuan family to flatter you. Can you have some backbone and some principles?

Don’t you understand that the Yuan family just gives you a sweet date to seal your mouth if they can’t kill you?

You said that you, Yuan Shao, a member of the Yuan family, don't even care about you. How can you give me a reason to go to Yuan Shu to settle the score?

Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, how important is a small contribution to the reception? Today, you are no longer the high-spirited Yuan Benchu ​​you used to be.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Cao Cao sighed, stood up, went to the house, took out a small rattan box, touched it for a long time, but finally did not open it, but ordered a small fire to be lit in the courtyard, then threw the box into the fire, and turned around Leave.

The flames were raging and engulfed the small rattan box in a blink of an eye.

The box was deformed by heat and expanded, revealing the three or two bamboo horses and bamboo swords inside the original storage box...

Since the nobles will not let me go, I, Cao Cao, will go my own way!

From now on, we only talk about success or failure, not friendship!

*************

What needs to be done has been done, and Fei Qian didn't stay at Cui's house any longer. He ate his breakfast and left.

Cui Hou really wanted Fei Qian to stay for a few more days, mainly because he wanted Fei Qian to give guidance to the master of the family. However, Cui Yi was so angry at Mingong in the morning that he felt a little unwell, so he could only give Liuli to him first. Putting things aside, taking care of the old man was more important, so he reluctantly sent Fei Qian to the lower part of Luoyang City before turning around.

At this time, the Luoyang city defense had been taken over by the Xiliang army. On the city tower, Ruoda's Dong-character military flag fluttered in the wind.

The signs of fire on the street have increased a lot, and the people in the shop are shouting and organizing people to clean up. Along the way, I could faintly see a lot of blood stains. Although it was covered with yellow sand, I could still smell a little bit of blood.

It was time to evacuate. Although Fei Qian was no longer prepared to take any escape route, Luoyang was now in danger. He had no power and power. He was just a reserve official of the imperial court and could not protect himself at all.

Although he and Young Emperor and King Chenliu showed their faces a little bit, this time it can only be regarded as planting a seed. I don’t know how long it will take until it sprouts, so I can’t completely pin my hopes on it.

The Xiliang army gathered in groups on the street and bumped into each other.

Fei Qian was wearing brocade clothes and a high crown. It was obvious at first glance that he was a person of some status. The Xiliang soldiers did not dare to do anything, but many of the white civilians wearing short jackets suffered disasters, either beaten or beaten. Was robbed.

Fei Qian frowned and stopped drinking a few times. Those Xiliang soldiers just crossed their hands casually, even if they saluted and dispersed, Fei Qian was unable to do anything.

What can I do if I have no position and no power?

Fei Qian was quite angry in his heart. How could you say that this was also the capital of the country? Don't those officials who are usually aloof know what the Xiliang soldiers are doing now? Why are everyone huddled at home and no one comes out to stop them?

Are the Xiliang soldiers really ignorant of good and evil and do not understand the superior and inferior forces? But that's not the case. As long as someone like me who is not an official official shouts to stop, the Xiliang soldiers I encounter know how to stop. It can be seen from this that as long as a bigger official comes forward, there will definitely be no such thing on the market. So many people suffered.

But judging from the current situation, these people intentionally failed to act and allowed the Xiliang soldiers to do whatever they wanted. There is only one purpose, don't let Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers have a good reputation!

But there is one thing Fei Qian doesn't quite understand: why does the leader of the Xiliang soldiers let his subordinates do so? Fei Qian shook his head, didn't Dong Zhuo know that doing this would make him stinky?

As soon as Fei Qian returned home with doubts, Uncle Fu handed him a famous assassin.

"Former General Palace Chief Shi Li?" Fei Qian didn't respond for a moment. Do I know this person? who is this? Invite me to tea?

Fei Qian suddenly had a vague feeling. What he fears most in the future is being invited to drink tea. Not to mention what the government agencies are like, if the leaders in the unit grab the pigtails, it is actually the excuse of drinking tea. Hold a criticism meeting.

"Uncle Fu, where does this name come from?"

"Just now, before Xiao Langjun came back, a Yulin Lang sent him." Uncle Fu was a little worried. He received an invitation from a high official out of nowhere, which would make anyone feel a little nervous.

Who is this?
