This is the fifth day that Dong Zhuo has returned to Luoyang.

The sun is shining, and the city of Luoyang is still as lively as usual on this day, with streets and alleys, people coming and going, and there is often a noise among all kinds of shops.

Especially around a mansion in the east of Luoyang City, there are a lot of people coming and going, and there are often some dignitaries and nobles who come to visit.

Xiangguo Mansion, that is, Dong Zhuo's mansion.

"It turned out that Marquis Zhang of Jinyang came to my Xiangguo Mansion, and Dong was really embarrassed that he couldn't go out to greet him." Dong Zhuo said to Zhang Yang, who was in his forties in front of him.

Zhang Yang is the Marquis of Jinyang and the general of Anguo, when Liu Hong was in power, his reputation was known to everyone in the court, and the most important thing is that his fame and title are not only inherited by his father, but also fought the battlefield, and no one dared to disagree.

Zhang Yang is the same as Zhang Rang, when Liu Hong was in power, he trusted him very much, and often asked him to teach the prince Liu Xie, and he was also a courtier left by Liu Hong specifically for Liu Xie, so Zhang Yang was also very supportive of the prince Liu Xie.

"Dong Xiangguo is now the pillar of the Han Dynasty, Zhang came uninvited, and he still hopes to forgive his sins, how can he let Dong Xiangguo go out to greet him." Zhang Yang arched his hand.

Dong Zhuo smiled: "I don't know what happened to Marquis Zhang coming to my Xiangguo Mansion?" If there is any need, Dong will do his best to help! I also hope that Zhang Houye will make it clear! ”

Zhang Yang nodded, worthy of being a person who went out of the province through the mighty generals, he spoke directly, he liked this style very much: "Yesterday I heard that Lord Xiangguo was warmly received by General He a few days ago, and sat in his house for a whole day. Zhang must be grateful! ”

Where for a whole day? Dong Zhuo cursed Zhang Yang secretly, and if he wanted to make me talk, he would say it clearly, and he had to make up this reason to create a new topic.

In fact, Zhang Yang also knew that it would definitely be false to say that he had been staying for a whole day, and he didn't believe it, but if he didn't talk about He Jin's invitation to Dong Zhuo a little outrageous, how could he be better than asking about other secret things!

"Hou Ye Zhang laughed! Where to stay all day! Dong just went to the General's Mansion for lunch and chatted about family life! Dong Zhuo said, "It's just that General He gave me a little money when I was leaving, I originally wanted to refuse, but General He was too enthusiastic, if I didn't accept it, I would immediately turn my face, and in desperation, Dong was only General He was righteous and thin, and regarded money as dung." ”

Zhang Yang pretended to be angry: "I see, maybe those subordinates in my house gossip and slandered Lord Xiangguo, Zhang will definitely be punished when he goes back." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled, didn't say much, knew that it was acting, and he didn't expose it, he couldn't be too faceless.

Zhang Yang continued: "Now above the court, it can be regarded as a partisan dispute, which is particularly fierce! I don't know what Sokoku-sama's plans are! ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo thought to himself, the main topic is here, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Zhang Yang drank a cup of hot tea, stood up directly, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Your Majesty died not long ago, and the crown prince should succeed to the throne, but the general He Jin and Empress He put the prince under house arrest and prevented him from taking care of the government, and let Empress He's son Liu Wei take care of the affairs of the court, which is really a crime of bullying the king!" ”

"Be careful about this!" Dong Zhuo said softly.

"No, you don't." Zhang Yang took out the momentum of a generation of military generals, directly waved his hand, interrupted Dong Zhuo, and continued: "I am righteous and outspoken, so I don't have to shy away from it. ”

Zhang Yang continued: "In the past, His Majesty loved the crown prince Liu Xie, and personally entrusted us and other important ministers of the court, and I will do my best to assist His Royal Highness the crown prince in the future. ”

"Now I don't expect that the general He Jin relied on his own hands to control the military power of Luoyang, and actually did something to bully the king, I don't know if the Lord Xiangguo will also be like us, and work together to bring down the criminal minister He Jin, take back the military power of Luoyang, and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes. He didn't expect that Zhang Rang and others would be so bold in their situation, and they would just support the crown prince Liu Xie, and they would still want to overthrow He Jin and take back Luoyang's military power. But...... Take back Luoyang's military power? Dong Zhuo was a little moved.

"This matter ......" Dong Zhuo paused, "I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult!" ”

Zhang Yang said with some excitement: "As long as we work together with Lord Xiangguo, dare to ask if there are still difficult things in this world?" When Lord Xiangguo was in Liangzhou, he used his soldiers like a god, and he was extremely brave, breaking the traitors in Liangzhou and recovering Liangzhou, and in the past, I fought several battles with Qianghu in the north, all of which were victorious! You and I join hands, and I'm still afraid of him, why can't I advance? ”

"But...... After all, He Jin holds the military power of Luoyang, if we defeat him, then the military power of Luoyang should be controlled by individuals? If it is not handled properly, the military power is taken away by the villain, will it not be a disaster for thousands of years, you and I are sorry for the emperor. Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Yang with a smile, looking like you know.

"Hahaha...... Lord Xiangguo don't have to worry about this matter, before I came, Lord Zhang Rang, the regular attendant of the Central Chamberlain, had already instructed me that if Lord Xiangguo is willing to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to regain the throne, the military power will naturally be handed over to Lord Xiangguo! As long as there is Lord Xiangguo, others will not dare to covet it. Zhang Yang also knew that Dong Zhuo was eager for military power, but if he was willing to overthrow He Jin and successfully let the crown prince Liu Xie ascend the throne, then what about giving him military power!

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is now quite prestigious in the court, and if he holds the military power, others will not have any opinions, so it seems that this matter is stable.

"In this case, then Dong will definitely do his best to support His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was raised by Mrs. Dong since he was a child, and Mrs. Dong is still my aunt! That being the case, I should have wished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a smooth accession to the throne. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, now that the matter had been done, he was already at ease, so he chatted with Dong Zhuo for a while, asking if he was still used to living in Luoyang or something.

Soon, Zhang Yang was about to be dismissed, Dong Zhuo personally sent Zhang Yang to the door, and Dong Zhuo did not go back until he was far away.

Although Luoyang City was the capital of the dynasty, it can be said that it is not big. Everywhere in the city, the eyes of every force were planted, so the news of Zhang Yang's visit to Dong Zhuo was like the news that He Jin invited Dong Zhuo to join the guest before, and it instantly spread to the ears of every official.

And although Queen He generally stayed in the harem, she couldn't hide this matter from her eyes, and soon, he heard a palace maid report the matter.

After listening to the palace maid's report, Queen He frowned: "Quickly pass on the general He Jin, there is something to find him in the palace." ”

"Wait, then Xuan Taifu Yuan Kui will come over......"

Taifu Yuan Kui is the master of Empress He's son Liu Bian, and he has been close to Liu Biao since he was a child, and he has helped Liu Biao to take care of the government these days. At this time, the stakes were very high, so Empress He also brought it over to discuss countermeasures.

After He Jin and Yuan Kui came to Zining Palace, Empress He immediately told the matter.

He Jin and Yuan Kui were not surprised, it was obvious that the two had already heard about it.

"Sister, don't panic, Zhang Yang is just visiting Dong Xiangguo, not necessarily Dong Zhuo." He Jin comforted his sister.

"But Hongu is worried! Before Zhang Yang went to Xiangguo's Mansion today, Zhao Zhong went to find him, presumably he was entrusted by Zhang Rang to let Zhang Yang win over Dong Zhuo. In case Dong Zhuo falls to Zhang and let them, the situation will not be in our favor! Empress He was still worried.

"It's inevitable to win over, but Dong Zhuo may not let them go to Zhang, and we have promised him a lot of benefits, he is also a Xiangguo, he should not be such a greedy person." He Jin said.

Empress He said: "You should also know that Zhang Rang and others strongly support the crown prince Liu Xie, and Liu Xie was raised by Dong Meiren since he was a child, and Dong Meiren is Dong Zhuo's aunt, and I heard that Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with the crown prince Liu Xie. ”

He Jin and Yuan Kui's faces changed, and they frowned, this relationship between the two of them really didn't expect. After all, Liu Xie was born to Wang Meiren at the beginning, and was finally raised by Dong Meiren. Whether it is Wang Meiren or Dong Meiren, they all won the favor of Emperor Liu Hong at the beginning.

At this time, He Jin's face turned pale, a little angry, and said: "Even so, I'm still afraid of him Dong Zhuo?" He holds the military power of Liangzhou, and I hold the military power of Luoyang, which is comparable, does he still want to use troops against Luoyang? I don't believe that he dares to turn this Luoyang over! ”

Empress He and Taifu Yuan Kui nodded, indeed, He Jin holds the military power of Luoyang, and if Dong Zhuo betrays himself, after all, Liangzhou is quite far away from Luoyang, if it is really true, Dong Zhuo himself is still in Luoyang City!

Taifu Yuan Kui suggested: "The old man thinks that for the sake of insurance, I will go back and write a letter to Yuan Shao, the general of Hebei, and Yuan Shu, the general of Huben Zhonglang, so that they can always pay attention to the movements of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army, so as not to be too passive." ”

Empress He nodded: "Yes!" Although the general Yuan Shao served far away in Hebei, he and his younger brother you had also fought together for many years, and they were both named generals, and they were your friends for many years, and they strongly supported the debate! Moreover, the Yuan brothers are distant relatives of Taifu, so very good. ”

"Okay." He Jin nodded, "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”

"It's a small thing." Yuan Kui said with a smile: "The Yuan brothers and the old man are distant relatives, and they have a very good relationship with the general, so they will definitely help each other when they want to come, so the old man will leave and write a letter when he goes back." ”

After speaking, Taifu Yuan Kui and the general He Jin dismissed Zining Hall and acted separately.

……

Situ House.

Situ Wang Yun narrowed his eyes, frowned, and his face was very pale and weak, making his already old face even more old.

Ren Hongchang walked over slowly and prepared tea for Situ Wang Yun!

"Father-in-law should pay attention to his body, I don't know what he is worried about today?" Ren Hongchang looked at his father-in-law like this, and couldn't help but worry.

"Hey!" Situ Wang Yun sighed: "I think I am a big Han country, and today the court is full of black smoke and miasma, courtiers are forming gangs, the royal family is not in harmony, the rebellion in Liangzhou in the northwest is still unsettled, the Qiang Hu in the north is eyeing each other, and the southern forces are crowding each other." ”

Ren Hongchang had already guessed that it should be the affairs of the DPRK and the central government that made him work, and he also knew that as a woman, it was inconvenient for him to ask.

Thinking of this, Ren Hongchang was thinking that if it was Li Yuzhu, he would definitely talk to her, and even seek her opinion. Because she knows that Li Yuzhu has never been inferior to men, nor has she ever had the attitude that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

"Diao Chan!" Situ Wang Yun shouted at her.

"Huh?" Ren Hongchang, who was thinking about a certain man and was a great god, was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned slightly red, and he bit his red and translucent lips.

"Things have been busy in the DPRK and China these days, but my father-in-law has indeed heard that Diao Chan has been going to find the son of the Li family every day recently." Situ Wang Yun said with an unchanged face, although he didn't hate Li Yuzhu, but this also involved the reputation of the Situ family, he still reminded.

"Father-in-law, my daughter has only been slightly interested in composing poetry recently, and every time I go to my yard to find Li Gongzi, I do it to do learning, and I have never done anything else!" Although Ren Hongchang said this, her face was already hot and crimson, as if a student was caught by a teacher and fell in love.

Situ Wang Yun saw it in his eyes, but still nodded, "You go and call the son of the Li family, my father-in-law hasn't seen him for a long time, and I want to have a good chat with him." ”

Ren Hongchang's delicate body trembled, and his voice was a little hoarse and asked, "What is the matter with my father-in-law?" ”

Situ Wang Yun glanced at her and smiled: "From his poem, you can know that the son of the Li family should be a dissolute character, if he is above the court, he will definitely not achieve anything, and even lead to death, but this kind of person is always different!" I would like to ask him what he thinks about the affairs of the DPRK and China. ”

Ren Hongchang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go and ask Uncle Lu to call him now." With that, he immediately walked out of the room.

Situ Wang Yun looked at the slender and elegant back, and couldn't help but shake his head, as if he had a feeling that the woman was not left.

Li Yuzhu himself was very surprised that Situ Wang Yun found Li Yuzhu, except for that time, Li Yuzhu had never been in contact with Wang Yun, but he didn't expect to let him go so suddenly.

This is the second time Li Yuzhu has come to Situ Mansion, and the familiar scene comes into view again, and he can't help but sigh again: It's good to be rich!

Soon, Li Yuzhu came to Situ Wang Yun and bowed: "Li Yuzhu, a grass man, has seen Lord Situ. ”

Wang Yun waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Diao Chan, you go and bring the fuqin in the pavilion, I haven't heard you show your hand for several days!" Situ Wang Yun smiled.

Li Yuzhu was a little strange and asked, "I don't know why Lord Situ called the grass people over?" ”

Situ Wang Yun smiled and was silent.

Li Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, what was the situation! Call me over to the piano? Still not replying to me? I'll go, don't call me if you don't want to pay attention to me! I wish I could be far away from you.

Situ Wang Yun didn't care whether Li Yuzhu scolded himself in his heart or not, he just waited for Ren Hongchang to hug the qin with peace of mind, as if he just wanted to listen to the qin!

Here we go.

Ren Hongchang began to play......

Li Yuzhu only knew about scientific research before, and naturally didn't understand music and rhythm, so he wasn't very interested in this, and after listening to it for a while, he began to yawn boredly, but he was embarrassed, first, Situ Wang Yun was still beside him, who could not yawn if you still wanted to? The second reason is that after all, this is played by Ren Hongchang himself, so he can't help but give face to the beauty!

Finally, it came to an end.

Li Yuzhu couldn't hold back any longer, reached out to cover his mouth and nose and yawned. As soon as he finished yawning, he found Ren Hongchang and Situ Wang Yun looking at him. Made, embarrassing again!

"Li Gongzi doesn't seem to be too interested in the song played by the little girl?" Situ Wang Yun asked.

Li Yuzhu didn't look at Ren Hongchang, but he still felt her somewhat complaining gaze and a slightly angry beauty, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "The grass people are shallow and ugly, and they don't understand music. ”

"Hehehe......" Situ Wangyun nodded, feeling that Li Yuzhu was quite sincere: "The little girl Ren Hongchang, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, although I am a righteous daughter, but she is the daughter of my best friend, I treat her like my own daughter." ”

Li Yuzhu nodded with a smile, but said in his heart: It's my business.

"Although the music played by the little girl is not as good as the mountains and rivers, in this Luoyang City, although she has never communicated with anyone, she can be regarded as a rare opponent."

"Miss Ren's talent is really admirable." Li Yuzhu echoed.

"Hehe, Li Gongzi is lucky today, I knew that the little girl would not usually fiddle with her piano skills in front of others, you must know that during the time she came to Luoyang, even I only heard it once!"

Hearing this, Ren Hongchang's face turned red, and he unnaturally lowered his head and looked at the strings.

Situ Wang Yun continued: "In recent days, the little girl has been keen on chanting poems and composing poems, and I heard that she seems to have been asking Li Gongzi about this knowledge from time to time recently, so today I invited Li Gongzi to come over and thank Gongzi on behalf of the little girl. ”

Li Yuzhu was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, Miss Ren is already above me, why come and ask for advice, the two of us just like to discuss the meaning of the poem together!" ”

For some reason, Li Yuzhu smelled a hint of danger.

"That's great!" Situ Wangyun nodded: "Hey...... The little girl is eighteen this year, and she has already reached the age of talking about marriage, but now the court is in chaos, and the people are not happy, so they dare not easily promise a marriage for her, but the old man is afraid that she will delay her life's events! I don't know what Li Gongzi wants? ”
