Chapter 32: Confessing the Thief as a Father
Luoyang City, in front of the Imperial Palace.
In the quiet tea room, faint yellow candles are lit, emitting wisps of light, as if rendering a thin layer of mist.
Lu Wei looked at the fold that Situ Wang Yun took out of his arms, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face: "Lord Situ has ever read this fold." ”
"Hehehe...... Since I came to you, I naturally read it. Situ Wang Yun smiled unchanged, staring at Lu Wei intently, making Lu Wei feel a little uncomfortable.
"That'...... I don't know what Lord Situ and His Majesty think of this matter. Lu Wei asked stubbornly, after all, he was quite concerned about the affairs of Nanzhong.
"Recently, all the forces in Nanzhong have indeed never paid tribute to the imperial court, which is also one of the important reasons for the emptiness of the treasury today, and the big surname clan headed by the Fu clan has always been in contact with Taifu Yuan Kui before, but now it ...... Ay! What you mentioned above in this excerpt is indeed reasonable. After Situ Wang Yun finished speaking, he took a sip of tea gently, but between his words and actions, he always stared at Lu Wei.
At this moment, Lu Wei didn't dare to raise his head and make eye contact with Situ Wang Yun, and after waiting for a while, he asked softly, "That...... I don't know how Lord Situ and His Majesty behaved? Since the surname Nanzhong intends to rebel, how should the imperial court deal with it? ”
What, Situ Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh, and then slowly lowered his head: "Hey...... Definitive evidence is still needed for rebellion. ”
"Willing to go to the lowly position." Lu Wei blurted out, and then felt that something was wrong, and then immediately said: "If Lord Situ and Your Majesty need it." ”
"Hehehe......" Situ Wang Yun couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that Your Majesty and I also don't need it?" ”
"This ......" Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, he didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent.
"Hehehe...... Do you know that if you find out the evidence, it will inevitably lead to the complete severance of the Nanzhong forces and the Han Dynasty, in this case, I am afraid that it will also damage the face of the Han Dynasty, and if the Han Dynasty wants to dismiss the face, it must send troops to suppress it, do you know...... Is this a consequence? Situ Wang Yun still stared at Lu Wei and said slowly.
"The humble position is also worried about this problem, now the treasury of the Han Dynasty is empty, the court officials are gangs and factions, fighting openly and secretly, and the war in Liangzhou has been repeatedly tight, there are no soldiers and horses, maybe grain and grass, it is really not easy to send troops to Nanzhong." Lu Wei said truthfully, still secretly exclaiming in his heart, this result still came according to the predictions left and right.
"This is reasonable, now that my Han Dynasty is in decline, there is no past glory, and if we break with the forces in the south and central regions at this time, it will inevitably make the Han Dynasty fall into an embattled situation, therefore, we can only secretly suppress this matter in our hearts, do you understand?" Situ Wang Yun said.
Hearing this, Lu Wei nodded slightly, then got up and saluted Situ Wang Yun: "Lu Wei understands!" ”
"That's very good." Situ Wang Yun also nodded slightly.
"In that case, then the humble post will be retired first." After speaking, Lu Wei slowly left the tea room.
As soon as he stepped out of the tea room, Lu Wei was a little stunned in his heart, although he was a little disappointed, but fortunately, Xun You had already woken up before, so he had some psychological preparation, so it was okay.
Thinking of this, Lu Wei sighed, shook his head, and then slowly went back towards the Lu Mansion......
......
Luoyang City, Xiangguo Mansion.
In a hall of Xiangguo's Mansion, the most central place is the place where singing, dancing, vocal music, and non-stop performances are at the moment.
A famous woman with heavy makeup and bright clothes, revealing clothes, danced like a little goat, quite aura.
Among them was a woman, who was now holding a lute and playing it with her slender fingers, singing as if pouring out her fate.
This woman is wearing a pale red dress at the moment, her appearance is extraordinarily beautiful and white, and her delicate face makes her quite beautiful and dignified......
She is Xiang'er, who was originally Ding Yuan's concubine, but now she has been robbed by Lu Bu to Xiangguo Mansion and serves Lu Bu day and night.
"Hahaha...... General Lu Bu, I didn't expect this Xiang'er's pipa to be so good, you are really blessed! ”
In the hall, Dong Zhuo was holding a disheveled woman at the moment, his hands were constantly stroking her body, but the woman didn't dare to make a sound.
"Lord Xiangguo praised it falsely, and Lu Bu would like to thank Lord Xiangguo for taking in the two of us." Lu Bu drank a glass of wine and thanked Dong Zhuo.
Now Lu Bu has been in Xiangguo's Mansion for three days, and in the past three days, he has almost been inseparable from Xiang'er, tossing her neatly all night.
And today, Dong Zhuo suddenly set up a banquet and personally invited him over alone, and Lu Bu also felt very grateful, so he asked Xiang'er to play a song for Dong Zhuo's pipa to show his gratitude.
And Xiang'er, at this moment, she is already in deep despair, and after despair, she can only accept her fate, although the fate is unfair, but she ...... I want to live!
"Hehehe...... Dong Zhuo is now General Lu Bu, I am also deeply honored, I have seen Zhang Liao at the beginning, I only think that he is extremely brave and has a good ability, but now that I have General Lu Bu, I am also very impressed. ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile slightly: "Lu Bu is willing to do his filial piety for Lord Xiangguo." ”
"General Lu Bu's personality, Dong Zhuo also knows, but ...... The relationship between you and Ding Yuan, now you are not very easy to go out of the Xiangguo Mansion, after all, when you meet Ding Yuan, it will inevitably be embarrassing. Dong Zhuo shook his head, and then said: "But I know that General Lu Bu is not a person who was greedy for pleasure before, and I want to come to General Lu Bu to follow Ding Yuan back to Luoyang, in fact, I want to make some merit and achievements, and then make contributions to my Han Dynasty." ”
"Lord Xiangguo really knows what Lu Bu thinks in his heart, but it's a pity that Ding Yuan has never been reused for me, and let me stay in Ding Mansion every day and have nothing to do." Lu Bu nodded.
"Hehehe...... This is a problem with Ding Yuan's vision, Dong Zhuo heard that General Lu Bu is holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, invincible on the battlefield, and no one can stop him! Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Bu again, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
seemed to remember the heroism of the past, Lu Bu was also very emotional in his heart, and immediately asked Dong Zhuo: "Actually, Lu Bu doesn't want to stay in the mansion every day to enjoy himself, I don't know if Lord Xiangguo can have a way to let Lu Bu go out to make meritorious contributions, and at the same time not suffer from Ding Yuan's exclusion." ”
Lu Bu also knew very well in his heart that if he went out to do things, I was afraid that as long as he met Ding Yuan, it would be troublesome.
And Lu Bu also felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, Ding Yuan was kind to Lu Bu at the beginning, but now Lu Bu has betrayed him, no matter what, it is difficult for Lu Bu to raise his head in front of Ding Yuan.
"Hmm......" Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand to the dancers in the center of the hall: "Go down!" ”
Immediately, these dancing girls immediately stopped, and then bowed their heads respectfully to Dong Zhuo, and then slowly withdrew from the hall.
Xiang'er, on the other hand, set her sights on Lu Bu, she was different from other dancers, so she didn't know what to do.
"Xiang'er, go down too, I have something important to talk about with General Lu Bu." Dong Zhuo glanced at Xiang'er, and he also expelled directly.
"Yes, Xiang'er retired." Xiang'er was actually more afraid of Dong Zhuo in her heart, and when she heard Dong Zhuo's words, she immediately slowly withdrew from the hall.
Seeing Xiang'er's swaying figure, Lu Bu couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Dong Zhuo, and cast a resolute gaze at him: "What is the plan of Lord Xiangguo?" Let's talk to Lu Bu and listen. ”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nodded: "Dong Zhuo also knows General Lu Bu's difficulties now, so he has thought of a way to make General Lu Bu appear above the court openly and be qualified to grant official positions." ”
As soon as he heard that he could be added to the rank of knight, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Lord Xiangguo, please say it quickly, if this is the case, Lu Bu will definitely obey Lord Xiangguo, what you ask me to do, I will definitely do." ”
"Hehehe...... Let me accept you as my righteous son, and you will recognize me as your righteous father, if you have such an identity in your hands, no one in the court will gossip about you, not even Ding Yuan, who will not do anything to you openly. Dong Zhuo blurted out, and then kept staring at Lu Bu's delicate face.
Hearing this, Lu Bu was suddenly shocked, and in addition to many pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, he recognized Dong Zhuo as his father, and Dong Zhuo is now above the court, so he ...... Wouldn't Lu Bu's status also rise?
"Lord Xiangguo, are you willing to accept Lu Bu as your son?" Lu Bu swallowed his saliva, then looked at Dong Zhuo, and found that he was also staring at him intently at this moment.
"Of course, General Lu Bu has peerless martial arts, invincible on the battlefield, such a talent, Dong Zhuo also cherishes, if you and I become father and son, like brothers, then in the future, above the court, no one can stop it." Dong Zhuo smiled, then raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all at Lu Bu.
And Lu Bu was also excited at the moment, and he also picked up the wine glass in his hand: "Father-in-law, the child respects you." ”
After speaking, Lu Bu drank it all very boldly, then stood up, came to Dong Zhuo's face, and knelt down......
Kowtow......
