Chapter 152: Abolishing the Elders and Establishing the Young (1)
After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan by mistake, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he happened to be used by Li Su on the side.
Under Li Su's clever persuasion, Lu Bu had no choice but to take Ding Yuan's old troops to Dong Zhuo together.
That night, after Dong Zhuo learned that Lu Bu had killed Ding Yuan and joined him, he happily got up in the middle of the night to greet Lu Bu.
After seeing Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, so he accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son.
Because the previous experience was still vivid, Lu Bu didn't want to be someone else's righteous son, but seeing Dong Zhuo's sincere face, Lu Bu had to reluctantly agree.
Early the next morning, Dong Zhuo, who was happy in his heart, sent someone to call Li Ru and others over.
After letting Lu Bu and the others get to know each other, Dong Zhuo saw that Cao Cao and Liu Yi were not there, so he hurriedly sent someone to call.
This is the scene where Liu Yi and Cao Cao hurried to Dong's mansion.
Seeing that Liu Yi, Cao Cao and Lu Bu greeted each other, Dong Zhuo on the side laughed and patted the armor on Lu Bu's body.
"Listen to my son Fengxian, this armor was given by Captain Liu?" Dong Zhuo pointed to the armor on Lu Bu's body and said to Liu Yi with a smile.
Liu Yi nodded when he heard this, and replied respectfully, "General Lu has the courage of ten thousand people, and a little armor is not a tribute!" ”
At this time, Lu Bu, who had retreated behind Dong Zhuo, heard Liu Yi's words, and hurriedly bowed to him, "Thank you Lord Liu for giving me a gift, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely visit the Lord in person!" ”
"General Lu, you're welcome!" Liu Yi replied with a fist.
Seeing that Liu Yi and Lu Bu were so polite to each other, Dong Zhuo suddenly showed a sly smile, looked at Liu Yi and said, "If the old man hadn't sent someone to go yesterday, would Liu Duwei also have the intention of recruiting my son?" ”
As soon as he heard Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Yi "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly exclaimed, "This old thief is really suspicious!" Then he hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord said that he was joking, General Lu is talented, how dare you fight such a thought, I sent the armor yesterday, purely to see that the armor is too suitable for the general, and I want to make friends with the general."
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he saw Dong Zhuo's thief eyes turn for a moment, then his expression changed, and he looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said, "It's all a joke in our family, Liu Duwei, don't take it to heart!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly said, "How dare you, how dare you!" ”
After testing Liu Yi, Dong Zhuo pulled Lu Bu beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since my son wants to thank Liu Duwei, why wait for him to wait for another day, and arrange someone to prepare for his father immediately." ”
After speaking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and began to beckon his subordinates to prepare a banquet.
Liu Yi, who didn't eat breakfast, had already begun to protest in his stomach, and when he heard Dong Zhuo say that he wanted to eat, Liu Yi's stomach suddenly began to gurgle.
Hearing the gurgling sound coming from Liu Yi's stomach, everyone on the side immediately burst into laughter.
"I didn't eat in the morning, I didn't eat in the morning." Liu Yi blushed and explained to everyone.
During the banquet, Lu Bu frequently toasted Liu Yi to express his respect.
After a few glasses of wine and a few mouthfuls of meat, Liu Yi suddenly felt refreshed.
At this time, Guan Yu and Xi Zhicai were also eating the food in front of them.
Originally, Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu were not qualified to serve at the table, but because Dong Zhuo was happy today, they were fortunate to be able to sit with everyone next to Liu Yi.
Because it was morning, everyone tacitly agreed not to drink too much, and after a few drinks, one person stopped drinking.
Liu Yi was chatting with Lu Bu beside Dong Zhuo while observing the others on the field.
Under careful observation, Liu Yi found that the atmosphere between these people around Dong Zhuo was very delicate.
First of all, Liu Yi found from the seats of everyone that the closest place that originally relied on Dong Zhuo had changed from the original Niu Fu and Li Yu to Lu Bu and Li Ru.
Lu Bu is new, and he is also considered a righteous son by Dong Zhuo, so it is understandable to sit next to him, but Li Ru is different.
No matter how Li Ru said it, he is also an outsider, no matter how bad the others are, then there is also a Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Niu Fu is here, how can it be Li Ru's turn to become bigger?
"It seems that this Li Ru's status in Dong Zhuo's heart is already higher than others!" Liu Yi lowered his head and secretly calculated in his heart.
Thinking that Liu Yi observed the people present with his spare eyes again, and found that except for Li Ru, who was talking with Dong Zhuo, the rest of the people were drinking with their heads bored, and from time to time they raised their heads and looked at Li Ru with a pair of ill-intentioned eyes.
"This Li Ru is too sharp! I don't even understand the truth of shooting the first bird, hum~, I won't have your good fruit to eat in the future! After thinking for a while, Liu Yi raised his head, only to see Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite him, looking at Liu Yi with a complicated expression.
The two looked at each other, just one glance, and the two understood each other's intentions, and then tacitly picked up the wine glass and touched it in the air, and then drank it all.
Because I was so hungry just now, I ate a little hard. After a glass of wine, Liu Yi suddenly felt that his stomach began to rise.
As soon as the wine glass was put down, Liu Yi suddenly saw with his spare eyes that Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Niu Fu, was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Out of politeness, Liu Yi also gave him a harmless smile.
Immediately, I saw Jia Xu also raise his glass, signaling that he wanted to have a drink with Liu Yi.
"Why does this old guy keep staring at me?" After some doubts in his heart, Liu Yi shrank his stomach, and in desperation, he could only raise his glass and drink with Jia Xu.
After a full meal, everyone ended this feast in a seemingly peaceful atmosphere.
After the banquet, Dong Zhuo and others began to hang around in the house, and everyone complimented Dong Zhuo and made Liu Yi feel disgusted, so Liu Yi lied that he wanted to wander around after eating too much, with drama
Zhicai and Guan Yu stayed in the courtyard and wandered around.
Dong Zhuo's mansion was very large, and the three of them chatted while walking.
Although most of the people in the house knew Liu Yi, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Yi and the three of them still picked some places with few people to wander around.
"Lord, I think that Dong Zhuo has become suspicious of you because of the fact that you gave Lu Bu armor, so let's look at it from below, let's have less contact with Dong Zhuo's people in the future!" As he walked, Xi Zhi saw that there was no one around, so he expressed his worries.
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi smiled confidently, looked back at Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu and said, "It's okay, with you here, it's not so easy for him Dong Zhuo to kill me!" ”
Guan Yu, who was beside Liu Yi, heard Liu Yi's words, and said, "Don't worry, the lord is here, and the lord and Mr. will have no worries!" ”
"Hahaha~ Youyun Chang said this, so what am I afraid of?"
After speaking, Liu Yi walked towards the depths of the mansion with a smile.
After walking for a while, Liu Yi felt a little tired, so he and Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu found a small pavilion nearby and sat down.
After sitting down, Liu Yi suddenly remembered Jia Xu at the banquet.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yi raised his head and said to the two, "Who do you say is more difficult to deal with, Jia Xu or Li Ru?" ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu made a look of thinking.
After thinking for a while, Xi Zhicai took the lead in speaking and said, "Lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, although Li Ru is favored now, compared to Jia Xu, Li Ru's heart is unstable and too public. On the other hand, Jia Xu's subordinates heard that he was talented, but after he arrived in the Niu Auxiliary Army, he was honestly willing to be an auxiliary army. Therefore, if you talk about the mind, the subordinates think that Li Ru is not as good as Jia Xu. ”
After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, Liu Yi nodded in agreement.
"It is said that dogs that bark don't bite, and dogs that bite don't bark! I think that Li Ru will have to fold on his own temperament sooner or later! Liu Yi said in a deep voice.
After speaking, Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and just wanted to ask him what he thought, but he heard a cry from nowhere.
"What sound?"
The three of them looked around in surprise.
"Look, lord!"
Just as Liu Yi was looking around for the source of the sound, Guan Yu, who was sharp-eyed, suddenly pointed with a big hand and pointed in the direction of a rockery in the distance.
When Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai heard this, they raised their toes and looked in the direction that Guan Yu was pointing.
At first glance, the two looked at each other.
Behind the rockery dozens of meters away from the three of them, a woman was crying on the rockery.
Liu Yi squinted his eyes, trying to see the woman's appearance clearly. When he saw the woman's face clearly, Liu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the woman was no more than twenty years old, young and beautiful, with a beautiful face and some desolate weeping, which made people inevitably have the idea of pity and cherishing jade.
"Who is this woman? How can you cry here? After Xi Zhicai saw the woman clearly, he was also shocked by the woman's beauty.
Guan Yu, the only one of the three who remained calm, snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Hmph~ Who else can it be! It must be a woman from a good family who was picked up by Dong Zhuo who doesn't know where! ”
Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai did not refute when they heard this, and still kept their eyes on the woman over there as they had just now.
Just when Liu Yi was obsessed with the woman's face and couldn't extricate himself, he suddenly heard a discordant voice from behind.
"Lord Liu, why did you come here?"
Hearing the sound of talking behind him, Liu Yi came back to his senses, hurriedly wiped the non-existent saliva at the corner of his mouth, and then turned his head.
As soon as the three of them turned around, they saw that the person who came was none other than Jia Xu, who was respecting Liu Yi in the middle of the banquet.
"Damn! Why is it him again? Liu Yi scolded in a low voice, and then hurriedly forced out a smile.
"Mr. Jia, why are you here too?" Liu Yi smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
In a few steps, several people met.
As soon as they met, they saw Jia Xu looking at Liu Yi with a sad face and said, "Lord Liu! How did you come here, do you know that this is a place where Lord Dong's wife and concubine stay, and no one can come here except Lord Dong on weekdays, if you let Lord Dong know, I'm afraid you will blame Lord Liu! ”
Hearing Jia Xu's words, the three of them were shocked.
Liu Yi hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the woman was crying just now, and saw that the woman should have found a few people, and she was covering her face and running to the depths of the house.
Jia Xu on the side saw that Liu Yi did not reply, but looked back into the distance, and also followed Liu Yi's eyes.
"Lord Liu, that woman is Lord Dong's favorite concubine, could it be that Lord Liu is also interested?"
Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly turned his head back, shook his head like a rattle and denied, "Mr. Jia, where do you start with this, the three of us brothers just came out for a stroll, and accidentally ran here, and accidentally bumped into Lord Dong's concubine crying over there, and only took a look out of curiosity, Mr. Jia, don't be wronged!" ”
Hearing Liu Yi's explanation, Jia Xu didn't speak, just looked at Liu Yi with a smile.
Liu Yi was furious when Jia Xu saw it, coughed, and then diverted the topic and said, "Isn't Mr. Jia discussing with Master Dong and others?" How do you have kung fu to come out? ”
Jia Xu on the side, seeing Liu Yi talking about him left and right, smiled and stopped talking about what happened just now.
"Lord Dong saw that Lord Liu had not returned for a long time, and he was afraid that something would happen, so let me call a few people!"
Liu Yi made a look of sudden realization when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Then let's go back quickly,
Don't let Master Dong wait! ”
After speaking, Liu Yi walked quickly in the direction he came.
Along the way, no one spoke, Liu Yi kept his head down and thought about how to explain to Dong Zhuo that he had strayed into his harem for a while, and after thinking for a long time, Liu Yi was so anxious that he was about to sweat, and he didn't expect a convincing reason.
When he was about to arrive at the main courtyard, Liu Yi, who had no choice, could only turn around and cast a look of help to Jia Xu.
As soon as Liu Yi turned around, he saw Jia Xu looking at him with a smile, as if he had known that Liu Yi would be like this.
After looking at each other, I saw Jia Xu say meaningfully to Liu Yi: "If Jia is in trouble in the future, is Lord Liu willing to save him?" ”
Liu Yi, who was in a hurry, heard this, and hurriedly nodded, "Of course I do!" ”
Jia Xu, who received Liu Yi's affirmative reply, laughed and did not speak, but walked quickly in front of the three of them. Liu Yi behind him didn't know what it meant, so he could only follow him silently.
When a few people returned to the main courtyard, they saw that Dong Zhuo and others were already in the courtyard.
Seeing a few people coming back, Dong Zhuo and the others all turned their eyes to Liu Yi.
The first person to move among the people was Cao Cao, and among these people, the person who really cared about Liu Yi at this time belonged to Cao Cao.
"Brother Yi, where did you go?" Cao Cao ran forward and asked with concern while glancing at Liu Yi.
In the face of Cao Cao's question, without waiting for Liu Yi to answer, Jia Xu on the side took the lead in smiling at everyone and said, "Just now Jia went to look for Lord Liu, and happened to see Lord Liu wandering near the firewood room, and the villain only knew that Lord Liu had just lost his way after asking!" ”
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a look of self-pride and said to Dong Zhuo, "My lord, your mansion is too big!" If it weren't for Mr. Jia, I'm afraid Xia Guan wouldn't have been able to find his way back for a while! ”
Hearing the words of Liu Yi and Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo immediately burst out laughing, "Hahaha~ Look at it, it's all because the old man didn't arrange it in advance!" Liu Duwei rest assured, next time you want to wander around the house, our family will definitely send someone to be your guide! ”
Dong Zhuo's words caused everyone to laugh.
Just when Liu Yi listened to everyone's laughter and thought that he had escaped, he didn't know that Li Ru on the side was looking at Liu Yi, Jia Xu and others thoughtfully at this time, and a cold light flashed in the depths of a pair of gloomy thief eyes.
After everyone greeted each other in the courtyard, Dong Zhuo called everyone into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Dong Zhuo shouted at Liu Yi and said, "Our family has already discussed with them just now, and in two days, we will go to the court to announce the abolition of the establishment, and there will definitely be people who oppose our family among the hundred officials at that time." Liu Duwei, how do you think our family should deal with those officials who oppose it at that time? ”
Seeing Dong Zhuo ask himself, Liu Yi began to quickly calculate in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yi respectfully said to Dong Zhuo, "Why don't you kill chickens and monkeys in the court?" Saying that, Liu Yi also made a head-killing gesture.
As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, he saw Dong Zhuo on the main seat, slapping the table in front of him hard, and then raised his head and laughed and said to Li Ru and the others: "Our family just said that Liu Duwei and our family are like-minded!" You still don't believe it, but what now? ”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, everyone also smiled and agreed. Seeing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.
didn't wait for Dong Zhuo to continue speaking, but saw Li Ru on the side standing up with a smile.
"Lord Liu, according to the villain's speculation, he may oppose my family in the court, it is nothing more than Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Zhu, Lu Zhi and others, Lord Liu, which of these people is better to use when the time comes?" Li Ru looked at Liu Yi with a wicked smile on his face.
Hearing Li Ru's words, everyone stopped laughing and looked at Liu Yi quietly.
Under everyone's eyes, Liu Yi began to think in his heart.
Huangfu Song, Zhu, Lu Zhi and others have some intersection with themselves when they were in the Yellow Turban before. As for Wang Yun, Liu Yi knew that this person was the main person who led to Dong Zhuo's downfall, and he couldn't be chosen. And no matter who he chooses, as long as that person is killed by Dong Zhuo, the world will inevitably criticize him. The reason why Li Ru asked this was to lead the water to the east and detain the basin that murdered the good ministers on his head.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi began to make difficulties.
Just when Liu Yi didn't know how to answer, the drama behind him stood up.
"Hui Yu, my lord first came to Luoyang, and the civil and military officials didn't recognize it all, not to mention that with Lord Dong's holy and far-sighted thoughts, I'm afraid there are already candidates in my heart, why should Lord Li embarrass my lord here?"
Listening to Xi Zhicai's salty and non-indifferent compliments, Dong Zhuo was very happy, and looked at Xi Zhicai with an appreciative expression.
Li Ru, who was on the side, heard Xi Zhicai's words, his face suddenly gloomy, and he was about to continue to attack, but he saw Dong Zhuoyang raise his hand to stop him.
"It's all your own people, don't hurt the peace!"
Li Ru had no choice but to give up when he heard this, and Liu Yi on the side hurriedly got up when he saw this, and made a mistake for Dong Zhuo on behalf of Xi Zhicai.
Then, everyone chatted for a while, Dong Zhuo was a little tired, so he left everyone to go back to rest by himself.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had left, everyone felt that there was nothing to talk about, so they said goodbye to Dong's mansion.
Before leaving, Liu Yi also bowed to Jia Xu to thank him for relieving him for relieving himself before, Jia Xu smiled and accepted Liu Yi's thanks, but he didn't know that these were all looked at by Li Ru on the side.
As soon as Liu Yi returned to his house, he hurriedly asked someone to bring pen and paper and write a few identical letters.
After writing them, Liu Yi stuffed these letters into Guan Yu's hand.
"Tonight, you send a few soldiers with quick hands and feet to deliver these letters to Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, and Huangfu Song!"
"Order!"
