Chapter 874: The Collapse of the Great Han (4)
Although Liu Xie is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, after all, he is still a child in his early tens, and it is already good to know how to say one or two sentences in the case of so many people, but if he wants to weigh the pros and cons immediately, and be able to quote scriptures and classics like a well-educated person to say a great truth that no one can argue, then it is just something that can only appear in it.
After encountering such a thorny problem now, Liu Xie subconsciously looked at the only adult beside him, Situ Wang Yun.
Wang Yun turned his head and saw Liu Xie's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly felt sad and desolate in his heart, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness deeply permeated his whole body.
Someone asked Wang Yun to pardon these Xiliang generals before, but Wang Yun refused, because Wang Yun thought that these Xiliang generals were all vassals under Dong Zhuo, and they could not become a climate, nor would they have any serious crimes, so there was no need to pardon them with great fanfare.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun also felt that these positions were public instruments of the imperial court after all, and it was a last resort to occasionally exchange interests, but if it was a large-scale private grant, it would be against justice.
Bad money is rampant, Wang Yun is also trying his best to allocate materials from all sides, as much as possible to ensure the Chang'an region, the royal family, including the hundred officials and rations, and also hopes that the Shandong Shi clan can stop fighting after Dong Zhuo's death and restore the order of the country, but he is also disappointed.
At the most critical juncture now, the soldiers of Lingyi have not arrived for a long time, and Huangfu Song, who is considered by Wang Yun to be able to entrust him with important tasks, has not even sent a single soldier......
At this moment, Wang Yun just felt as if what he did was just a joke, and there seemed to be no place for himself between heaven and earth.
The Shandong Shi clan east of Hangu Pass betrayed themselves.
Huangfu Song, who was in Lingyi, betrayed himself.
Even the officials under the palace wall, who saw themselves smiling like flowers on weekdays, betrayed themselves without hesitation......
I have endured humiliation and burdens in the Han Dynasty for so many years, from the beginning of stepping into the political arena at the age of nineteen, to now six out of fifty, from a hot-blooded young man to an old man who knows politics well.
However, up to now, those efforts, those painstaking efforts, those deliberations in the court, and those sighs under the moonlit night seem to have all come to naught, and everything seems to have disappeared under the city of Chang'an, in this dim sky, with the wisps of black smoke.
No one can understand themselves, no one encourages them, no one supports them.
Wang Yun felt as if the fatigue of the past fifty-six years had all hit his heart, and what he insisted on and what he wanted seemed to have become a joke.
Now, Wang Yun can categorically deny everything, and then tie Liu Xie and everyone in the palace to himself, and then drag him into the abyss of hell together......
Of course, there is another way to do it......
Wang Yun slowly took off the Situ Liang crown on his head, revealing a head of gray hair, knelt down in front of Liu Xie, and said in a dumb voice: "Your Majesty! The old minister is incompetent and cannot help Sheji, which has caused His Majesty to be humiliated, and he deserves to die...... The killing of Dong Thief is a plan of the old minister, and the old minister will shoulder it! Your Majesty does not need to worry, after the death of the old minister, his resentment will be eliminated, and the thieves will naturally be able to retreat...... It's just that in this Han court, the old minister will no longer ...... I hope that Your Majesty will take the society as the mind, be diligent and knowledgeable, and prosper the Han Dynasty as soon as possible...... The old minister is under the Nine Springs, and he can also comfort ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Yun was already in tears, stood up, smiled at Liu Xie with tears, and didn't wait for Liu Xie to say anything, turned around and supported the battlement, then stood up, pointed to Li Dao and others below and said: "It was the old man's idea to kill Dong Thief, and you said that Dong Thief was wronged...... Hahaha, good! In this case, I will repay it with the life of the old man! If you continue to make trouble on this ground, there is no doubt that the rebels will be rebels, and the people and gods will be angry, and the nine clans should be punished! ”
The words fell, and before Liu Xie and the others could react, they only heard the wind rise slightly, and the wide Situ robe on the palace wall, under the reckless Han sky, was like a blooming epiphany, flying in the air, and then falling, leaving only a faint sigh:
"Big Han, ......"
Liu Xie screamed in surprise and rushed forward, wanting to grab the flying Situ robe, but he stepped on the air and fell to the ground with a thud......
*****************
In the western suburbs of Chang'an City, Lu Bu, who had collected the only remaining more than 400 soldiers from Jianzhang Palace, had not yet had time to come back, but had already heard the news of Wang Yun's death.
The Western Liang soldiers in Chang'an City shouted ecstatically:
"Master Dong is not guilty!"
"Dong Taishi Zhaoxue!"
But Lu Bu seemed to experience the deep cold of Jiuyou.
If Dong Zhuo is innocent, then what is he? What is your own behavior?
Zhang Liao came up, looked at the head of the city that had been replaced with the banner of the Xiliang soldiers, and said: "Wen Hou, even if you enter the city again, I'm afraid it will be useless......
"......" Lu Bu was silent.
Although Wang Yun looks down on him, this Lu Bu also knows a little, but Lu Bu can't do without Wang Yun, because without Wang Yun's support, his Lu Bu's assassination of Dong Zhuo is no longer a meritorious service, but a crime.
"Wen Hou, it's better to ......" Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu and hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "...... Why don't we go back to Merge State...... The government and the opposition are too chaotic for us to ......"
"Bingzhou......" Lu Bu raised his head slightly, as if he thought of something from his hometown, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Bingzhou, ......"
Gao Shun also nodded slightly on the side, in his opinion, it is not bad to merge the state, one is to return to his hometown, and the other is also familiar with the Hun Zhonglang, and there is some care, but in the end, it depends on how Lu Bu decides.
“…… Wen Yuan, Peping ......" Lu Bu turned his head to look at the north, and paused for a long time before saying, "...... You two go to the state, I'll ...... I'm not going ......."
"Wen Hou, why is that?" Zhang Liao was a little puzzled.
Gao Shun didn't seem to think much about it at all, and said directly: "A certain one goes with the temperature." ”
Lu Bu looked back at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, smiled, and said, "The Hun Zhonglang is good, you two go, if I go...... It's not very convenient after all......"
Yes, not very convenient.
"Something goes with the temperature." Gao Shun still said the same sentence, and his tone did not change in the slightest, but his attitude was still very resolute.
"Then I'll follow Wen Hou too." Zhang Liao also said.
Lu Bu shook his head, then smiled and said, "That's it, Peping follow me, Wen Yuan, you take a hundred people to Bingzhou...... The little brother must also be short of manpower, so even if he goes to help him for me...... Haha, the Han world is so big, isn't there a place for me Lu Fengxian? Wen Yuan doesn't need to say more, maybe I will take a walk around Peping, and then go back to you...... It's also a good place to stand before Pepin and me go to fight! ”
"......" Zhang Liao was silent for a long time, lowered his head, and arched his hand and said, "Follow the order of Wen Hou." ”
"Good!" Lu Bu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said, "Take a good picture for me and my little brother!" It's a pity that there is no wine now, otherwise I would have drunk 300 bowls! You don't have to be a child, you and I just say goodbye! ”
Lu Bu turned the horse's head, smiled and nodded to Zhang Liao, and then took the lead in turning the horse forward, while walking, he slapped Fang Tian's halberd, and sang a mountain song of the state in a low voice, singing heroic and far-reaching......
Gao Shun also hugged Zhang Liao, and then followed Lu Bu closely, and gradually meandered away with most of the soldiers.
Zhang Liao watched the two of them walk farther and farther away with some soldiers, and gradually disappeared into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Big Han, ......"
The dark clouds rolled, and it seemed that they could not bear the billowing black smoke of Chang'an City, the dull thunder rumbled over, and the pouring rain poured down, as if to water the karmic fire in Chang'an City, and as if to cleanse the blood, sorrow and filth of this world......
