On the tenth day of the first month of June, a sudden rainstorm just hit Meishan, driving away the boredom and heat of the afternoon, and washing the entire Meishan with rainwater.

The foot-long grass poked its head out in the jungle and greedily breathed the fresh mountain air, the green leaves quietly listened to the sound of nature in the mountains on the branches, and frogs, cicadas, birds and unknown insects tossed out of the caves, nests, and leaves, and tossed their throats in the woods to sing indulgently, quiet and fragrant.

Wang Li sat in the courtyard, holding a cup of tea, seeing that Sun Cai's face was full of relaxation and comfort, and he had gradually walked out of the haze of the past, he couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart, and patted Sun Cai with a smile and asked, "Is the situation on the side of the Empress Dowager Dong in the DPRK true?" ”

Sun Cai nodded and said, "Yes, the situation is true. According to the report of the Yellow Bird in Beijing, in mid-June, under the instruction of the three princes and the general of the court, the impeachment of officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory and Sizhou seemed to fly into the palace compound and the tables of the ministers.

Shang Shuzhong said: Empress Dowager Dong was originally a vassal concubine, and it was not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, so she should be relocated to the vassal country in time. The words are sincere, and it is very likely that the Empress Dowager Dong will not return to the river, which will lead to the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

The three princes and the generals of the court were forced to have no choice but to submit all the impeachments directly to the Empress Dowager Dong. On the one hand, he pretended to shed a few tears and arranged for people and horses to escort the Empress Dowager Dong from Beijing to return to China, but on the other hand, he arranged for the forbidden army to surround the mansion of the hussar general Dong Chong.

Dong Zhong knew that the general situation was impossible, and in order to avoid disaster to the Empress Dowager Dong and the directors, Dong Zhong committed suicide in the back hall in front of everyone's eyes. ”

"Standing in the palace III, it's just a matter of blindly making money, but I don't know that the current situation has changed, and I want to threaten the enemy with heavy troops with a few words, it's stupid." As soon as Wang Li slapped the desk, Huo Ran got up and scolded, "Has this Empress Dowager Dong lived to the belly of a dog at all ages, and deserved to be driven out of the court by a butcher!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Sun Cai shook his head and sighed, "Lord, it seems that Dong Zhuo's trend of entering the court is unstoppable!" ”

This is a pig-like god assist! originally thought that in his own secret chess, if the Empress Dowager Dong could drag on in the court for a few more days, she would be able to prepare more in the face of the upcoming period when Dong Zhuo would control the court, but she didn't want this Empress Dowager Dong to be as stupid as in history, and she was still facing the same situation as in history.

Sure enough, the rolling tide of history is still as strong as ever!

Wang Li sighed and said, "Go on!" ”

Sun Cai nodded and continued: "Since the Third Duke and the Great General have decided to expel Empress Dowager Dong from the imperial court, they naturally do not allow her to make any further delays. On the seventh day of the first month, the Empress Dowager Dong Feng Yuan had already arrived at the Hejian National Station.

Because all the mansions in the former emperor's hometown are still being rebuilt, and there are hundreds of people accompanying them, even the Empress Dowager Dong's henchmen and close people are not less than thirty or twenty, therefore, the Empress Dowager Dong ordered the team to stay overnight at the Hejian Station.

As a result, it didn't matter if the Hejian Post Station was a staycation, but it directly took the life of the Empress Dowager Dong. According to Huang Que, at the end of the day, Empress Dowager Dong was very unhappy because she thought that she would be driven out of the capital by He Jin and others, and scolded everyone by using her head to scold her.

I only scolded myself for being thirsty and impatient, so I drank a cup of chilled plum soup and lowered the fire before returning to the room to rest. At three o'clock, the Empress Dowager Dong took a nap for less than an hour, and suddenly became ill with a high fever and convulsions all over her body. ”

"Did these all be found by the Yellow Sparrow?"

"Yes, some of them have been seen in person, some have heard of them, and after verification, they will fly to the headquarters to listen to the headquarters!"

"Send a message to the Yellow Sparrow, pay attention to protect yourself at all times, if it is not something that can turn the tide of the battle or affect the general trend, do not activate!"

"No!"

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Of course, the yellow finch is not a small bird, but a man, a mole, an old man who has served in the palace for decades, and a mole who hides deep in the palace.

Wang Li took a sip of tea, this tea had already been improved by Wang Li himself, although he didn't know how to bake in his previous life, and he was far from reaching the so-called tea in his previous life

The realm of guns and the like is still just some tea powder, but without the assistance of ginger and other condiments, it is just a light cup of tea, and I still feel a sweet taste lingering on my lips.

Sun Cai took the teacup in Wang Li's hand, filled it with water and continued: "Huang Que said that the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him were all old people in Yongle Palace, and the Queen Mother was also served by these people. Although there are thirty or twenty people, Huang Que also has some forces around the Queen Mother, and he knows these thirty or twenty people well, and he has not found anything abnormal when he probes and monitors them. ”

Is there no abnormality, Wang Li frowned: So, speaking of which, the Empress Dowager Dong just died a normal death?

While pondering, he suddenly saw Sun Cai's eyes light up: "No, lord, although nothing abnormal was found in the Hejian Station, there was something wrong with the capital. Huang Que said that one of the little yellow gates that entered Beijing that day to report the news, one went to Zhang Rang's mansion, one entered the palace, and the other disappeared from under our noses when he entered the city gate of Luoyangping. ”

Capital?

That's right, even if the Empress Dowager Dong dies normally, it will inevitably involve a lot of public cases and hands and feet, how can the forces in the capital let go of the wrestling formed by the death of the Empress Dowager Dong!

Wang Li put down the teacup and raised his head to look at Sun Cai: "Are you saying that the person disappeared before entering Luoyang, but did he sneak into He Jin's mansion?" ”

"No, according to the news from the Jingshi Hall, only two Xiaohuangmen entered Luoyang on the ninth day of the first month of June, and there were no other idle people waiting to enter and leave the General's Mansion that day, except for the officials and material procurement personnel who came to visit!"

"It seems that this He Jin even knows how to avoid suspicion, and there must be a master behind him to guide him!" Wang Li frowned, "But there is also news of other important ministers of the imperial court in Luoyang?" ”

Sun Cai quickly flipped through the information in his hand several times, and the disappointed Chao Wang Li shook his head: "Now that the Empress Dowager Dong is gone, the situation in the court is difficult to calm down for a while, and the court is even more turbulent, maybe we will have to wait a few more days to have relevant news from the important ministers." However, I still have a piece of news in the market here, and I don't know if it is useful to Lord Yu? ”

"News in the market?" Wang Li looked at Sun Cai in surprise, knowing that Sun Cai had already been able to take charge on his own, otherwise he would not have handed over the truth to Sun Cai. Since Sun Cai asked if it could be useful, it must be useful.

Sun Cai nodded, handed the note in his hand to Wang Li, and continued: "A few days ago, that is, when the Empress Dowager Dong had just arrived in Hejian, and the death of the Empress Dowager Dong had not yet reached Beijing, and I don't know what was going on, the children in Beijing suddenly sang a song that had been decades in the past.

Its prophecy is about: the car class, into the river, the river between the female workers count the money. Take money as the room and gold as the hall, and the stone is sorrowful. There is a hanging drum under the beam, and I want to hit the anger of Chengqing. ”

It is the combined name of the official Confucian theological prophecy and the weft book in ancient China, which prevailed in the Qin and Han dynasties, and appeared in the form of nursery rhymes or folk songs in Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The prophecy is a hidden word and prophecy made up by the sorcerers and monks of the Qin and Han dynasties to predict good fortune and evil as a revelation from the heavens, showing people the good fortune and evil fortune in the future, and the rise and fall of chaos. Wei is a work of Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty who attached themselves to the "scriptures" under the pretense of ancient sages, and attached and interpreted Confucian scriptures with theological superstitions.

"Che Banban, into the river" refers to the death of Emperor Huan into the river to welcome Emperor Ling to inherit the Han dynasty.

And "the female workers in the river count the money, take the money as the room for the house, and the stone is ashamed of the yellow sorghum" is about the greed and miserliness of the Empress Dowager Dong, who not only instructed the Emperor Ling to sell the official mantle to accumulate money during the decades of the dynasty, but also made people eat the yellow sorghum.

So that the upright people of the world gathered the officials to beat the drum and complain, "There is a hanging drum under the beam, and I want to hit the Chengqing angry." ”

This is a very famous proverb during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, it was indeed a long time ago, but the Empress Dowager Dong has left the capital, and even now she has seen the first emperor, what does it mean that these people suddenly started to fry old rice.

Wang Li took the note and glanced at the ten lines, quickly scanned it, slowly exhaled, his eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the stone table.

As soon as Empress Dowager Dong Feng Yuan arrived in the river, there were already people

Looking through the old accounts of the Empress Dowager Dong in Beijing, it seems that this person wants to sweep away the influence of the Empress Dowager Dong in Beijing in one fell swoop, and his plans in Beijing must be not small.

Who could this person, or the gang, be?

He Jin and the Empress Dowager Lingsi? No way.

Now that they have used the power of thunder to drive the Queen Mother out of the capital and take down Dong Zhong in one fell swoop, if they do this desperate plan again, wouldn't it make the government and the opposition feel that He Jin is too big and not grand, and it will also make the people who follow him frightened?

Moreover, the news obtained from Huang Que and the secret spies in Beijing that the death of the Empress Dowager Dong had nothing to do with He Jin, and He Jin secretly poisoned the Empress Dowager Dong with wine, and I am afraid that Luo Guanzhong made it up in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Then these people will definitely not be He Jin or the Empress Dowager Lingsi, or they happen to be related to the disappeared little yellow door. But who is this little yellow door?

Who else in the DPRK would be so concerned about the life and death of the Empress Dowager Dong, what did he want to do with it, and what kind of benefits could he seek from the death of the Empress Dowager Dong? Or what is he going to squeeze out of a dead man?

Power? Empress Dowager Dong herself has no power, and was driven out of Kyoto alive by He Jin, did he want to take this opportunity to Dashan He Jin's line? What are you kidding, although He Jin is very stupid, but how could he do this kind of mutton that didn't eat it but caused a fuss?

Wealth? Nor is it possible, what wealth can be gained by grabbing the fame of a dead man? If you want wealth, it is better to directly stammer Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, why do you need to toss so much!

By the way, and fame.

Yes, it must be fame, and it is a fame based on striking or overthrowing the Han royal family. Because after the Empress Dowager Dong left Beijing, she began to spread the prophecy, which was not to be unfavorable to the Empress Dowager Dong alone, but to be unfavorable to the descendants of the Empress Dowager Dong. Whether it is Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty or the new monarch, they all have one thing in common, they are both the royal family of the Han Dynasty and the descendants of the Empress Dowager Dong.

This is called: the father pays the debt to the son, and the grandmother pays the debt to the children and grandchildren!

Wang Li seemed to have found a ray of light from the thick haze, and if his guess was correct, then he only needed to find this disappearing little yellow door.

So who is this person? Who could this person be?

Dong Zhuo?

If you only talk about the ambition and thirst for power in the world, of course he is in the first place, but such a guy who doesn't understand half a point of rough and barbaric statecraft, and is still eating the yellow sand of Liangzhou under the command of his uncle, does he really have such a big hand?

Cao Cao?

Although everyone in later generations has already defaulted to him as the incarnation of Xiaoxiong, but according to his several contacts, he knows that Cao Cao is just a myth by Luo Guanzhong, and Cao Cao at this time is still the ** young Han loyal minister who yearns for Huo Hussar!

Yellow Turban remnants?

Zhang Yan (Chu Feiyan), Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian or Li Damu? Are you stupid for the? Except for Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turban, which became famous in the post-Yellow Turban era, the others are guys who are not enough in defense and even less in offense, I believe they might as well be as detailed as the sow will go to the tree!

So, who else will there be?

It seems that only by finding the disappeared little yellow door can we know all the answers you want!

Thinking of this, Wang Li sat down again, picked up the tea cup, and found that the tea had gradually cooled, just like his mood at the moment. Suddenly, an eagle chirped in mid-air, and when he raised his head, he saw an eagle spreading its wings and slashing through the air, moving wantonly, just like the Hai Dongqing on the plain silk that Zhang Ji Tuo Ling'er transferred to him that day.

The yellow sand car is far away, and Luo Luo travels to the jade pass!

Zhang Ji's message flashed in Wang Li's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sun Cai, order the Jingshi Hall to find the whereabouts of Xiao Huangmen at all costs, and closely monitor any movement in the Jiao Tianguan Temple and the White Horse Temple!" ”
