Chapter 90: Dong Zhuo's will
When the hundred officials escorted the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, it was already past the middle hour, the sky was bright, but the Luoyang City under the rising sun was full of a sense of ruin, after entering the city, it was a mess everywhere, the corpses in many places had not been cleaned up, and a pool of dried blood stains could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the sound of crying could be heard everywhere.
A lot of people died last night, not just the eunuchs in the palace.
The Son of Heaven was frightened, and he obviously couldn't meet today, but he rewarded Chen Mo, Cao Cao, and Min Gong, all of whom were named Pavilion Marquis, Chen Mo was Lou Pavilion Marquis, Cao Cao was Shen Pavilion Marquis, and Min Gong was Du Ting Hou, these three people obviously had the greatest credit, as for the others, Liu Wei ran around all night, and was frightened again, and was ready to reward him carefully tomorrow.
Chen Mo said goodbye to Yuan Shao and asked Gao Shun to lead the troops back to the camp, this time the dispute between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants, this ending is actually not expected to be seen by everyone, but fortunately they rescued the Son of Heaven, Luoyang will be stable for at least a while, yesterday ran around for a day, not to mention Liu Wei, even Chen Mo is also a little tired, physical exhaustion is still secondary, his body is full of energy every day, and the most important thing is the mental exhaustion, he is ready to take a good rest.
On the other side, Dong Zhuo's army did not enter the city, only accompanied by personal guards and trusted generals, and was arranged to live in the post house temporarily. ”
"Father-in-law, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ru was startled, and hurriedly went out to look left and right, and only after seeing that there was no one did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wen Xian is also too cautious." Hua Xiong on the side grinned.
"This is Luoyang!" Li Ru glared at Hua Xiong, looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Father-in-law, don't say such words nonsense in Luoyang. ”
"It's just a pity! The great Han country actually fell into the hands of a weak young son. Dong Zhuo nodded, and said with some regret: "I don't be surprised to see that King Chen Liu, and he is quite measured." ”
Li Ru and Hua Xiong agreed on this, last night the Son of Heaven saw Dong Zhuo's legs weak, and he didn't say anything good, but it was that King Chen Liuwang was calm and calm, and when the Son of Heaven and the ministers talked, it was most likely that King Chen Liuwang was helping to answer.
"This royal matter, I won't wait until I say it, father-in-law and remember, but the son of heaven is weak, but it is also conducive to the father-in-law to ask for the seal tomorrow." Li Ru smiled and said: "Tomorrow in the court, my father-in-law should not be entangled in official positions, just take the matter of begging for yellow scarves over the years, and suppressing Qianghu's merits but being divided by the imperial court among eunuchs." ”
"Then according to Wen You's opinion, what position should the lord ask?" Hua Xiong said curiously.
"I heard that there is a vacancy in the guard, and the former guard captain Dong Zhong is also the same as his father-in-law, and Confucianism thinks that the position of the guard captain is the most suitable." Li Ru said with a smile, Wei Wei can be said to be the most powerful official position in Jiuqing, Dong Zhuo not only has the merit of conscription, but also has the merit of saving the driver last night, the third prince does not want to for the time being, but it is not difficult to get the position of Wei Wei, so that the Dong family's position in Xiliang will be more stable.
When he gains a firm foothold in Luoyang, over time, he may not be free of the possibility of competing for the Three Princes.
"Wei Wei ......" Dong Zhuo nodded, which was about the same as he expected, and then patted his thigh and said: "It's a pity that just after arriving in Luoyang, I lost one of my generals, Wen Kai, have you ever seen how Chen Mo killed Yadan?" ”
"My lord, the last general probed Yadan's corpse, and a flying knife made of black iron was pierced into his throat, the blade was only three inches, and the whole body was black, in that situation, it was quite difficult to defend." Hua Xiong nodded and said, "Then Chen Mote is a little despicable." ”
can endure it in the dark, throw darts when facing the enemy, and the black iron darts are specially built at a glance, Hua Xiong, a fierce general who charges forward on the battlefield, despises this kind of crooked and evil way the most, even if Yadan was stabbed to death by Chen Mo yesterday, he will not be so uncomfortable, but Yadan is also a brave general on the battlefield, but he died under this kind of conspiracy, which really makes people feel aggrieved.
"Chen Mo was born in the Huaipu Shu clan, and now he is accepted by Chen Qi, he is already a family, and he was once rated as a capable official of Qingping, a hero of troubled times, a famous man, and not a brave general who charges into battle, Confucianism feels that there is nothing wrong with this approach." Li Ru smiled.
Hua Xiong looked at this matter from the identity of a military general, but ignored that although Chen Mo also fought, he was not the kind of person who was famous for his force, and he did not panic in that situation, and killed the enemy by this means is very in line with Chen Mo's identity. If you win, you lose your grace, and if you lose, you lose your life.
You can't do too much to the enemy, just kill the enemy.
"You guys look average." Hua Xiong pursed his lips disdainfully, the secret arrow hurts people, what kind of man is it? A real man has to work hard, and there is no shame in being killed if he can't beat him.
Li Ru didn't bother to reason with him.
Dong Zhuo touched his beard and nodded and smiled: "But Chen Mo is a little interesting, he is young, he has won his current status in Luoyang, the land of tigers and wolves, with his own ability, and he will have the opportunity to be a good student in the future." ”
Li Ru also has this thought, don't care what happened yesterday, since everyone will be in the same hall as ministers in the future, the communication that should be there is a must.
While several people were talking, a guard outside the door arrived at the door, bowed down and said, "My lord, there is Sima Panyin of the Shangjun outside the door, saying that he has something important to see." ”
"Who is Pan Yin?" Dong Zhuo frowned and said, he knew a lot of people in Luoyang, but who was Pan Yin? He had never heard of it.
"Shangjun Sima?" Li Ru frowned and said: "As far as Confucianism knows, the captain department of the Shangjun Academy has been disbanded after Jian Shuo's death and has been divided into various departments in the West Garden, and the Shangjun Sima should be no longer there." ”
"Then this person claims to be the Sima of the Army, is he here to deceive? Let me go get rid of it! Hua Xiong frowned and said, deceived them, what a big dog.
"Slow!" Li Ru stopped him, looked at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do left and right, it doesn't hurt to see it, the matter of going to the army, Luoyang should not be a secret, now there is a military Sima, Confucianism thinks that there must be something strange in it." ”
"Let him in!" Dong Zhuo nodded and looked at the guard outside the door.
"Whoa!"
Soon, Pan Yin came in under the leadership of his personal guards and bowed to Dong Zhuo: "Humble Pan Yin, see Dong Gong." ”
"Excuse me." Dong Zhuo sat up, looked at Pan Yin and said, "As far as I know, the captain of the military academy has long been removed after Jian Shuo's death, you say that you are the captain of the military academy?" ”
"This is a lowly token, and the lowly position is a general under the command of Shuogong." Pan Yin took out his token and handed it to Hua Xiong on the side, bowed down and said: "It's just that Shuo Gong was unjustly killed and died, and he was waiting for an opportunity to avenge Shuo Gong, and he couldn't ask for the door. ”
"Jian Shuo conspired to kill the minister, and the crime should be like this." Li Ru on the side said with a smile: "Pan Sima's heart to protect the lord is admired by us, but if we talk about revenge, the general is dead, how can we talk about revenge?" ”
"When the first emperor was alive, he wanted to kill the general, but Shuo Cheng was ordered by the first emperor and was noticed by He Jin, so he was killed." Pan said incognito.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's eyes lit up at the same time, Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong and said, "Wen Kai, you should take your personal guards to guard the surroundings, and don't let people get close." ”
Hearing this, Hua Xiong nodded and bowed, "Huh! ”
Seeing that Hua Xiong began to arrange personal guards, Li Ru looked at Pan Yin and said, "Come carefully." ”
Pan Yin nodded, took out an edict from his arms and said: "This is the first emperor entrusted to Shuo Gong secret edict before his death, and wants to pass on the prince of Xie, but he is afraid of the general interference, it is the following edict to spread the general into the palace, and ordered Shuo Gong to lead the army to ambush him, but he was recognized by the general and failed to succeed, the general is powerful, after the death of the first emperor, he forcibly supported the current ascending to the throne, Shuo Gong wanted to set things right several times, and supported the prince of Xie's return to the throne, but the general was powerful, and the secret was leaked, which caused the disaster of killing!" ”
As for his leak at that time, Pan Yin didn't say anything.
"If you have this edict, why do you want me?" Dong Zhuo looked at the edict in his hand, and the light in his eyes flickered.
"General Hui, before he came here, he had searched for the magnates of Luoyang, but no one was willing to pay attention." Pan Yin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dong Zhuo and said: "I know that my position is humble, but the last wish of the first emperor and the hatred of Shuogong are all tied to my humble position, and I dare not have a moment or hope." ”
That's right, he had a relationship with He Jin, so when he noticed that Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin, he couldn't help but reveal the matter, but Jian Shuo's kindness to him was much thicker than He Jin, and therefore, when Jian Shuo died in the hands of He Jin, Pan Yin was tormented by remorse every day, especially before Pan Yin died, he also entrusted things such as the edict of the first emperor to him, and regarded him as the most trusted person, which made Pan Yin feel even more guilty about Jian Shuo, but Jian Shuo was dead, and it was difficult to make up for the mistake, so he could only fulfill Jian Shuo's last wish.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Shuo looked up at Dong Zhuo and said: "The humble position knows that Dong Gong is suspicious, and the humble position will hand over this edict to Dong Gong today, if Dong Gong is unwilling, it will be difficult for the humble position to find others to do this, Shuogong's last wish, the first emperor's last wish is also difficult to complete, only one death to thank the first emperor, Shuogong, if Dong Gong agrees, willing to keep the secret to death!" ”
After speaking, while Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, they suddenly took out a short blade from their arms and stabbed it fiercely into the heart.
"Slow!" Dong Zhuo and Li Ru reacted at this time, and subconsciously wanted to stop it, but Pan Yin obviously had a will to die, this knife was really stabbed to death, and when the two of them spoke, they had already stabbed the short blade into their chests.
"My lord! This ......" Hua Xiong outside the door heard the sound and hurriedly rushed in, but he saw Pan Yin's slowly falling corpse, a little dazed, what is the situation?
"I don't want such a loyal person in the world!" Dong Zhuo held the edict in his hand, got up slowly, looked at Pan Yin's corpse, and sighed a little: "Someone will collect this person's corpse, and after the great event is completed, it will be buried!" ”
"Father-in-law is ......," Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo.
"What Luoyang dignitaries don't dare to do, I do it, this is the last order of the first emperor, someone should do it!" Dong Zhuo slowly put away the edict and said loudly.
"Confucianism is willing to help my father-in-law achieve great things!" Li Ru said solemnly.
Hua Xiong looked at this scene blankly, although he didn't know what was going on, he still hugged his fists and said: "It's the same!" ”
