Chapter 37: Dong Zhuo dies
Half a month later, at Li Ru's house, Li Ru and Jia Xu sat opposite each other, and the two were playing chess.
Jia Xu said: Xiangguo stays in Meiwu every day, Wenna Wang Yun's family is a courtesan, Lu Bu also likes this woman, Confucianism went to persuade Chengquan and Lu, but Xiangguo didn't allow it, I'm afraid I will die at the hands of this woman!
Jia Xudao: What if Xiangguo is not in Wenyou? Confucianism doesn't know. At this moment, someone came to report, and someone sent a letter to the master. Li Rudao: What about faith? The subordinate handed the letter to Li Ru with both hands, and Li Ru waved his hand and opened the envelope. The letter was written on paper, and Zhang Jie had the craftsman improve the paper. Although it is not as good as that of later generations, it is still much stronger than Cai Hou's paper.
What Li Ru received was Zhang Jie's letter, and his face was a little suspicious. Jia Xu saw that he didn't speak and said: What's wrong? Li Rudao: What does Wen He think of Zhang Jie?
Jia Xu said: I don't know much, I haven't seen this person, I only know that this person has killed a lot of big families. Li Rudao: Although Confucianism has not seen this person, but in Luoyang, he has inquired about this person's news, Zhang Jiezi Shimin, originally told stories in a restaurant in Luoyang, and then Zhang Rang's nephew introduced, entered Zhang Rang's door and went down to make Yecheng County Order, did nothing in Yecheng, and then destroyed the Yang family, seized the family property, and sent it to Zhang Rang and Emperor Ling, and was later promoted to Taishou.
After the death of the first emperor, He Jin sent someone to send the Empress Dowager Dong back to the river and stopped in Yecheng on the way, but for some reason the Empress Dowager Dong suddenly announced that the first emperor would make Zhang Jie the general of Jizhou Pastoral Expedition. Hehe, this is obviously an overkill.
But this person is bold, Xiangguo sent Han Fu to serve as Jizhou Mu, but he cut off Han Fu's head and gave it to Xiangguo, and Xiangguo also sent Empress Dowager He to him. I want to kiss Fangze. Jia Xu was in Chang'an at the time, so he didn't know about it.
Dao: Interesting, Xiangguo sent it?
Li Rudao: Zhang Jie threatened that if he did not send the Empress Dowager He, he would summon all the people in the world to raise troops to serve the king. At that time, Xiangguo had just abolished the new emperor, and Confucianism persuaded Xiangguo to agree. Then Li Ru gave Jia Xu the letter that Zhang Jie gave him.
Jia Xu finished reading and said: What does it mean to share people's acres? Li Rudao is to add all taxes to the acres of land. The landless people, the tenant farmers, no longer paid any taxes. Zhang Jie claimed in Jizhou that he would never increase the tax, and the rent was reduced to 30%, the tenants took 70%, and they did not have to pay taxes, but the landlords had to pay taxes when they took 30%.
Jia Xu was surprised: Can this be done?
Of course, of course, it won't work, so Zhang Jie wantonly slaughtered the rebellious families in Jizhou, and distributed the land to the tenants without taking a penny.
Jia Xu said: No wonder I often hear people say that Zhang Jie slaughtered the family in Hebei. However, if Zhang Shimin can go on for a long time, he will be supported by the poor people, and after a long time, Sancheng land rent will become a habit, and the landlord will want to collect more, and the people will refuse. The people's land rent is small, and there must be surplus grain without taxes, and in the long run, Jizhou will be rich. It seems that there is great hope in Jizhou! The wealth of Jizhou is enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Then destroy the state, merge the state, get the land of horses, and then go south. It seems that all the candidates in the world underestimate Zhang Jie.
Li Ru nodded and said: Xiangguo is my father-in-law and treats me well, and Confucianism can't bear to abandon him. If Wenhe is interested, you can go to Yecheng.
Wen smiled. In fact, Jia Xu was thinking in his heart, if Zhang Jie sincerely invited me, it would not be impossible. But if you want me to go by myself, forget it! The self-recommended old man is not so cheeky!
Back at home, Jia Xu's family is not in Chang'an, this old fox is not worried about Chang'an, so the family is in his hometown. Unexpectedly, after coming back, the house slave said that someone had sent a letter to Mr. Jia Xu: Where is the letter?
After a while, Jia Xu opened the letter and looked at the handwriting, which was obviously the same as what he had just seen in Li Confucianism, and when he saw the content, he didn't expect Zhang Jie to invite him to Yecheng, Jia Xu was silent for a while, he knew very well in his heart that Dong Zhuo would not be able to last long. But now go to Yecheng, although Zhang Jie has developed well and may dominate the north, he always feels that it is a little early to place a bet. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it was better to wait and see.
Yiwu: Li Sudao: The Son of Heaven is newly cured, and he wants to meet the civil and military forces in the Weiyang Palace, and the general Zen is located in the Taishi.
Dong Zhuodao: What does Wang Yun mean? Li Su said: Wang Situ has ordered someone to build a 'Zen platform', just waiting for the arrival of the lord. Dong Zhuo really believes Li Su's nonsense, and he really wants to be the son of heaven.
On the second day, Dong Zhuo entered the palace to accept the Zen position of the Son of Heaven. When he entered the main hall and saw Wang Yun standing with his sword in his hand, Dong Zhuo said: What is Wang Yun? Wang Yun shouted directly: The anti-thief is here, where is the samurai? More than 100 people turned out on both sides, holding halberds and stabbing at them. Dong Zhuo couldn't get in wearing a treasure armor. shouted: Where is my son Fengxian? Lu Bu made a sharp debut from behind the people: Obey the edict to beg the thief! A halberd stabbed straight to the throat, Dong Zhuo was Lu Bu's opponent, and a halberd stabbed Dong Zhuo to death, and a generation of heroes died.
Killed Dong Zhuo Wang Yun directly ordered Lu Bu to slaughter Dong Zhuo's family again, poor Dong Zhuo's eighty old mother did not let go, and when Li Ru killed Li Ru, Li Ru had already run away, thanks to Zhang Jie's letter, Zhang Jie said that Dong Zhuo's life would not last long, Li Ru has been suspecting something, it just so happened that he was sick again in the past few days, just a little bit today, I heard someone report that the Son of Heaven was located in Xiangguo, Li Ru understood, this must be a plan. How could the Son of Heaven be in Zen? Then it can only be explained that he wants to kill Dong Zhuo, it is not too late to save him, he can only escape first, Li Ru is also a ruthless person, so he ran away with his only son, and he didn't say anything else.
When LĂź Bu's men and horses arrived, he and his son had already fled from the city. In the end, Lu Bu killed all the people in the Li Mansion.
After Dong Zhuo's death, someone made a hole in his stomach and put a lamp, Dong Zhuo was obese and had a lot of oil in his stomach.
When the news of Dong Zhuo's death came out, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were frightened and ran to Liangzhou to send envoys to Chang'an to beg for mercy.
Wang Yun said: Everyone in the world can spare only the four of them, there is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die, Wang Yun is this kind of person, he should have won over these generals who hold military power, and then divide and disintegrate. Let the court slowly establish its prestige and thus control this army. But Wang Yun was just stubborn for his own use. In the court, he is like the second Dong Zhuo, who has to eliminate Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou.
Li Dao, Guo Yan saw that the court refused to forgive, so he said: Why don't we run away separately, and everyone will not pay attention. At this time, Jia Xu came, and this guy said: If the general gives up his military power. The imperial court only needs a pavilion chief to bind the monarch. It is better to lure Xiliang and the army and horses of the headquarters, enter Chang'an, and take revenge on the Taishi. Help, serve the court to uphold the world, if it does not win, it is not too late to run.
The four of them felt that it was better to fight to the death than to wait for death. So he gathered an army of 100,000 and went to Chang'an. Wang Yun in Chang'an was also anxious and regretted a little, but there is no regret medicine in the world, Wang Yun Lu Bu has more than 30,000 horses in Chang'an, although Lu Bu bravely killed Niu Fu, but he can only be defeated under the absolute force. To say that Dong Zhuo was brutal to the people and officials, but he was still good to his subordinates.
In the city, the original Dong Zhuo general Li Meng Wang Fang saw Li Dao Guo Yan soldiers and horses attacking the city and immediately opened the city gate, and finally Li Dao and others entered the inner city, Wang Yun committed suicide by jumping off the city wall in the city gate tower. Wang Yun was exterminated, and hundreds of officials were seriously killed and injured. The Son of Heaven was held hostage again. was forced to seal Li Dao as the general of the chariot cavalry, the marquis of Chiyang, the commander of the lieutenant, Guo Yan as the general of the post, the marquis of Meiyang, and the government of the same dynasty; Fan Chou is the right general, Wannian Hou, Zhang Ji is the hussar general, Pingyang Hou, and leads the troops Tun Hongnong. The rest of Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc., each is a captain. The last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty was stripped away. And Lu Bu fled from Wuguan with his family and first defected to Yuan Shu, and then became a-stirring stick in the Central Plains.
