Chapter 621: Dong Zhuo's Death
Does the old king also want me to ascend the throne and become emperor?
The family has the heart to abolish the Liu family.
The exploits of plotting the Kwantung princes to defeat the Southern Xiongnu made Dong Zhuo's heart swell even more.
At this time, the thought of sitting on that supreme throne was even more intense.
So Wang Yun's arrival, as well as the words with some subtle hints, made him think about it.
It wasn't until Wang Yun called the prime minister a few times that Dong Zhuo came back to his senses and said: "Zishi, this is not very good, although the Son of Heaven is a little mediocre, but in the end he is still a child, and he can still be a big responsibility after a few more years of training, don't you think he has made an edict?"
It shows that he is a sincere child, he can change his mistakes, and he is very good, and I believe that under the inspiration of His Majesty's city heart, the Han will be fine. ”
If it weren't for the need to be false and wrong, endure and plot big things, Wang Yun really wanted to stand up and scold angrily.
Shameless old thief, shameless.
However, Wang Yun did not have a too obvious change in expression, and only said: "The prime minister can say yes, but Your Majesty is young, and it all depends on the prime minister's dedication and hard work on state affairs, so that the Han Dynasty will be peaceful and peaceful, and it will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time." ”
"Hahaha, the master is serious, the words are serious, it is with the joint assistance of all of us that there will be the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the happiness of the people." Dong Zhuo didn't feel embarrassed at all, and enjoyed Wang Yun's praise very much.
Wang Yun took the opportunity to say: "Then Prime Minister, how to arrange the matter of asking for rain at the altar of the Son of Heaven." ”
Dong Zhuo didn't reply directly, but looked at Li Ru.
Li Ru said: "Prime Minister, you need to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to ask for rain, and you also need to set up a stage to make preparations, and you can't be sloppy." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, then turned to Wang Yun and said: "The master told everyone to be calm and not impatient, this matter is not in a hurry, let Qin Tianjian choose a good day first, I am ordering someone to build an earthen platform and build an altar." ”
"It's the prime minister, all the prime ministers are in charge, I will communicate with the officials." Wang Yundao:
"However, the drought is like a fire, and it is better to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the summer and autumn harvests, which may cause instability in the army and delay the prime minister's major affairs."
"The master has a heart! Rest assured that our family will explain the matter, and we will not dare to delay. Dong Zhuo admired Wang Yun's attitude of thinking about him and Xiliangjun.
He, Dong Zhuo, needs such a family official.
That's his best men.
Wang Yun left, and Li Ru said: "Prime Minister, Wang Situ is a little strange today, you need to be cautious about asking for rain, in case you ......"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Wenyou don't have to worry, the sub-master can be trusted, isn't it just asking for rain?" This satisfies those in the court, how can they know despair if they don't struggle, and how can they really die to the big man. “
Li Ru was still a little worried: "It's just the prime minister, what if it rains, wouldn't it be ......?"
"Didn't you make a wedding dress for the little emperor, don't worry, I let the people of Qin Tianjian calculate, they said that it was impossible to rain in the past month, so the little emperor was just tossing." Dong Zhuo said with a hint of a good show:
"If the rain can't be prayed for by then, and the locusts can't be stopped, I think the little emperor and his last loyal ministers will be even more distressed and desperate.
I'm really looking forward to the locust plague that Xu Ding said......"
At this time, Dong Zhuo couldn't persuade him, Li Ru had no choice but not to mention it, but instead discussed some details with him, and personally asked the people of Qin Tianjian, and also found some long-lived old people in Guanzhong, and asked about the Tianxiang situation in Guanzhong in the past.
Two days later, Dong Zhuo took the Son of Heaven out of the city gate to greet his Xiliang army and Xiliang generals, and asked the generals to state the battle and victory in front of the hundred officials.
Liu Xie, a puppet puppet, directly dictated in front of everyone and rewarded Dong Jin, Fan Chou, Dong Yue, and Duan Xuan.
At the same time, Zhao Ling and Zhang Xiu, who had just been withdrawn from Bingzhou in Liangzhou, were also rewarded.
After everyone thanked him, Dong Zhuo said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, although the Huns have run away, but the situation in Guanzhong is not happy, and the sin has not been forgiven by the gods for a while, the hundred palaces propose, please go to the Wei River to open an altar to worship, pray to the heavens and ask for rain, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”
Liu Xiexin said what can I do?
Do I dare not go and ask for rain?
So he said: "Since the ministers have decided to open an altar to worship and pray to the heavens, I naturally have the responsibility to do so. ”
"Good! Your Majesty is wise, and the minister has chosen the day, and five days later is the auspicious day of the sacrifice, and His Majesty should be prepared when he returns. Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
Liu Xie nodded slightly, of course he understood what Dong Zhuo meant, didn't he just go back and memorize the sacrificial text, and don't make a mistake for Dong Zhuo at that time?
The five-day period is like a meteor streaked across the night sky, fleeting.
On this day, the north gate of Chang'an City was opened, the majestic Xiliang Iron Horse opened the way, and 10,000 people with armor went out of the city to guard the frame of the Son of Heaven, as well as Dong Zhuo, and the people went towards the Weishui River.
A high platform was built by the river, which was built near the water.
The Xiliang Army Guo Yan and Li Dao were the first to come over, and the two looked around, scattered the soldiers, and found out all the situation in the surrounding five miles, not letting go of any suspicious points, and not letting any suspicious people appear around, so as to ensure Dong Zhuo's safety.
Soon Li Ru's second group arrived, stepped on the high platform, and pointed to the Weihe River: "The river has been tested." ”
Last time, Dong Zhuo was careless, and Cha Zhan was killed by the guy lurking in the water.
Therefore, Li Ru attaches great importance to this piece.
Li Dao said: "Don't worry, my lord, our brothers have all gone down in the water, and we have not found any suspicious people and objects, and we have arrows shot in the water, not even a fish." ”
However, Li Ru was not satisfied, obviously such a test still did not reassure him.
Guo Yan took Li Wei's words and said: "My lord, we have boats upstream and downstream, and there are people on the other side of the river, and there are nets in the water, and bells are set up under them. ”
This time, Li Ru can be regarded as satisfied and relieved.
Soon Dong Zhuo came, and Baiguan and the Son of Heaven also arrived at the same time.
There are people who set up desks, as well as tributes, and some people burn incense and wax.
Taichang, one of the Jiuqing, was in charge of presiding, and after finishing the opening, he shouted solemnly: "Your Majesty, please!" ”
Only then did Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, leave the ranks of the Hundred Palaces and slowly step onto the altar.
And Dong Zhuo followed, only two steps away from Liu Xie.
Taichang frowned slightly, and wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but Dong Zhuo threw a threat, and immediately lowered his face to the ground, as if he didn't see it.
The hundreds of officials have quite a few words, but Wang Yun shook his head lightly to keep everyone from talking loudly.
Liu Xie took the three incense sticks lit by an official below Taichang, and then stared at the sacrificial table with his hand, followed by a big recitation of the sacrificial words.
After saying a lot of words, he bowed three times and inserted three incense sticks into the big incense burner in the middle of the three incense burners above.
After he inserted it, he flashed aside, Dong Zhuo also took three incense sticks, and then bowed very reverently, and then also inserted three incense sticks.
Dong Zhuo seems to have intentional, the three of the three are particularly large, which is several times larger than Liu Xie's three, and they are twice as long.
After the incense, Dong Zhuo did not go down, but stood next to Liu Xie.
Then he read too often: "The royal family, the three princes and the nine kings, the hundred officials and the uncles, and the Wenwulang will enter the incense ......"
Taitang, who brought the table of Zong's clan, led some important people of the Liu family, and then kicked the platform from the left side of the earthen platform, each took a stick of incense, and then inserted it into the small incense burners on both sides of the large incense burner.
Then he took the clan relatives who had finished the incense and stepped down from the right side of the earthen platform.
There are a total of three stairs in this earthen platform.
The one in the middle is for the Son of Heaven to come to the stage, so just now everyone saw Dong Zhuo follow Liu Xie to the main stage, and their hearts were a little uncomfortable.
Taichang's gang finished up, and then Baigong headed by Wang Yun came to power, with three points in front, Jiuqing second, and Baigong followed.
The lower the official title, the lower the rank.
I really don't have any status, and I don't even have the qualifications to pedal the platform.
Hundreds of officials kept kicking the platform, one after another, and they passed by Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie one by one, less than two feet away.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Dong Jin, who was on duty at the foot of the left steps, stretched out his hand to stop an official: "Look up, I see that you are very familiar." ”
The official who was stopped said with his head half-bottomed: "General Dong, Chang'an is so big, isn't it normal to look up and see you at the bottom, isn't it normal?" ”
Dong Jin said: "No! Not this cooked! ”
The surrounding Xiliang sergeants saw that the Ministry of Love was happy, and they all took more than ten steps forward, preparing to take down this palace member.
"yes, it's not this kind of cooking!" The palace official who was stopped laughed at himself, and suddenly took out a dagger from his cuff and stabbed Dong Jin.
Dong Jin seemed to have expected this, and his figure retreated and flashed.
This official failed to hurt Dong Jin with a sword, and did not continue to attack, but strode up the steps, and with the help of his strength, he was ready to rush to the earth platform to kill Dong Zhuo.
However, how could Dong Jin let him succeed, he drew his sword and slashed from the flank.
The official immediately retreated, waved the dagger in his hand and stabbed at Dong Jin again.
"Boom!"
After a brief touch, the two swung their weapons and struck at each other.
A group of Xiliang troops hurriedly stepped on the platform, and then surrounded Dong Zhuo on it.
Dong Zhuo said: "No, get out of the way for me, there is Zili, who can hurt me?" ”
There is only one assassin, and he is not the kind of strong and invincible existence, Dong Zhuozhi is very calm.
"Boom!"
Another blow, Dong Jin and the official both took two steps back.
Dong Jin crossed the sword on his side and sneered: "Sure enough, it's you, what about your other accomplice?" Why haven't you shown up yet? ”
It turned out that this official was the one who assassinated Dong Zhuo last time.
Han Ming also snorted with a cold face: "I have always been a person who kills people, so why do I need any accomplices." ”
After speaking, Han Ming casually glanced at the hundred officials who had just made incense and got off the earth platform on the right.
Dong Jin sensed the slight ease of the cold, glanced at the hundred officials on the right, frowned and said, "Be careful that there are assassins mixed in there too!" ”
When the words fell, there was panic among the hundred officials on the right, and Shisun Duan, Yang Zan and others shouted one after another: "What? What the? We've got assassins here too, run......"
Suddenly, the hundred officials on the right scattered and fled, and the Xiliang sergeants who surrounded them looked at the scattered hundred officials and didn't know who to catch.
And just like this, Shi Hanming moved again, concentrated the strength of his whole body, and pounced on Dong Jin.
Dong Jin hurriedly collected his mind and swung his sword to block.
The sound of "Qiang" was another golden sound, but at this time, Han Ming took out a dagger from his waist with his left hand and stabbed it directly at Dong Jin's right wrist holding the sword.
Dong Jin's wrist turned, the sword moved, rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and the sword body and dagger slid out one after another, but although the dagger in the cold left hand did not stab Dong Jin's wrist, it was stuck with Dong Jin's sword.
Two daggers jammed the sword at the same time.
Dong Jin drew his sword, couldn't retreat, raised his leg and kicked hard, wanting to kick Han Ming.
However, Han Ming did not fight back, and after taking a blow, he still put all his strength and spirit on the two daggers, and stuck Dong Jin's sword tightly.
Finally, he burst out angrily: "Don't do it yet!" ”
Dong Jin was shocked, as if he thought of something, and looked towards the scattered Baigong on the right.
Guo Yan, Li Dao and other Xiliang generals and soldiers also looked at this side, trying to lock on to another assassin.
Surprisingly, however, no real Assassin was present.
Instead, there was a bang on the earthen platform, and something broke through the ground.
Dong Zhuo's position collapsed abruptly, and Dong Zhuo's screams came.
"Ahh
At the moment of injury, Dong Zhuo wanted to run, no matter how he said it, he was also a general, and his basic awareness of avoiding danger was still hidden in his blood.
Unfortunately, the place where he was injured first made it impossible for him to escape.
Because a strange short blade in the shape of an awl pierced his shoes from below and pierced the soles of his feet.
His fat body crashed against the platform, and before he could roll to relieve the pain, a sharp knife slammed across his neck, and trickling blood began to overflow.
Of course, the artery in his neck had not been severed at this time, but the skin and blood had been cut with a knife edge.
Dong Jin finally kicked Han Ming away, collected his sword and jumped onto the earth platform.
Just as he was about to arrive, Jun Xian drew his knife with force.
With a pop, a large pool of blood spilled on the earthen platform, splashing everywhere.
"The one who killed Dong Zhuo was under the rule of Weihai Hou!" Jun was envious of the dantian, and roared angrily with great pride and pride.
Dong Jin's figure stopped, and the other Xiliang generals were also stunned and stunned for a while.
The officials were even more dumbfounded.
Liu Xie, who was under the desk, looked at the weak head of Dong Zhuo, who was broken off in horror, and couldn't help wiping a handful of blood on his face.
It feels sweet, salty, and more smelly.
But deep down I was in ecstasy, cheering.
Dong Zhuo's old thief is dead.
It's really dead.
Look, there is unwillingness in those eyes, and there is still fear and pain.
Well dead!
Old thief, you also have today.
Li Ru in the audience was also stunned for a long time, and lost his mind on the spot.
But soon he recovered, his expression and eyes were extremely cold, and he said angrily: "Kill! Kill them, kill them all! ”
The Xiliang generals glanced at each other and shouted: "Avenge the prime minister......"
Dong Jin swung the Fire Cloud Sword and launched a fierce attack on Jun Xian, who had killed Dong Zhuo, at any cost.
Jun Xian waved his sword, kept resisting, kept resisting, and the two fought fiercely on the earthen platform.
The following Xiliang generals also kept attacking and killing Han Ming.
Han Ming waved a pair of daggers, rushed left and right, and kept attacking and resisting.
Soon, there were countless corpses of the Xiliang Army around him, but in the end, he couldn't rush out, his physical strength was exhausted, countless wounds were added to his body, and he finally fell in a pool of blood.
