Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 94 Taishi Dong Zhuo
"The minister knows that he is guilty, please remove His Majesty from the post of minister of the country, please order the master!"
Can you be more shameless! When all the ministers heard this, they all secretly exclaimed in their hearts. Although the position of Taishi has no real power, he can change the soup without changing the medicine like this, is he worthy of the minister who just watched Er Dong Zhuo's performance?
Liu Xie's face also turned dark, and he said helplessly: "Quasi-play!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Dong Zhuo didn't care about everyone's thoughts, and continued to perform with a ecstatic face.
"Your Majesty, the edict has been drafted, please read it!" Li Ru, who had never appeared, took the edict that had just been written at this time and came to Liu Xie's side and said.
Liu Xie took it, turned around and walked slowly to the high platform of the main hall. The more Liu Xie looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and the anger in his heart was boundless: Li Ru was so treacherous, he was so bold that he changed the edict in public! Immediately, Liu Yan, who had already knelt down, got up and was about to accuse Li Ru, but he had just turned his head, but he saw Dong Zhuo's fierce gaze, looked at Liu Xie, and the threat in his eyes was fully revealed.
Liu Xie was shocked when he saw it. With such a murderous aura, how could the young Liu Xie bear it? Liu Xie's body shook, and he was so frightened that he shook the edict in his hand that had not yet been stamped with the seal. Li Ru stepped forward, picked up the edict and handed it to Liu Xie again, and said in a low and grim voice in Liu Xie's ear: "Your Majesty is in poor health? ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he was terrified, could it be that Dong Zhuo wanted to attack me? During this time, I was too hostile to Dong Zhuo?
Still too young, Liu Xie couldn't control the fear in his heart at this time, took the edict tremblingly, picked up the seal on the table, and pressed it tremblingly on top of the edict.
The minister looked at Liu Xie, who was slightly out of shape above the main hall, and didn't know what was going on.
The emperor's edict said: "Li Ru picked up the edict and began to read: "Dong Zhuo's royal majesty is not effective today, so he is specially removed from the position of Dong Zhuo Xiangguo and moved to the post of Taishi." Thinking of Dong Zhuo's achievements, he is specially allowed to praise and worship the nameless, and enter the court without seeking privileges; Zhenguo Gongxiang Ao did not know right and wrong, and impeachment was excessive, so he was specially removed from the post of general of Zhenguo Gongxiang Ao in the Northern Regions, moved the hussar general, and ordered Zhenguo Gongxiang Ao to immediately lead the troops to quell the Baibo rebellion. A catastrophe fell from heaven, and the edict ordered all states and counties to open warehouses for relief, and all families in the world had to contribute to help. ”
I see, I see! Wu Cai Yong has become a person who helps the abuse! Cai Yong only understood why Dong Zhuo was in the early dynasty today. Cai Yong, who was in the Tang Dynasty, had weak legs and black eyes, and fell backwards.
"Cai Gong!" "Uncle Gong!" "Cai everyone!" Suddenly, there was chaos in the main hall. Even Liu Xie temporarily forgot his fear of Dong Zhuo, rushed to Cai Yong's side and shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor, quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”
Dong Zhuo was also taken aback, Cai Yong couldn't have an accident at this time, and Dong Zhuo didn't want to have trouble with Xiang Ao at this time.
The rare early dynasty is so absurd.
Fortunately, Cai Yong's body was fine, but he was so angry that he fainted. However, the news was transmitted back to the Northern Regions, which made Xiang Ao and the others not only worried, but also angry. Xiang Ao was not only worried about Cai Yong's body, but also angry that Dong Zhuo actually used him.
"Lord, it seems that Dong Zhuo has a capable person by his side to assist!" Hu Zhao's face was ugly, and he reminded Xiang Ao.
Xiang Ao nodded when he heard this, although Dong Zhuo had some talent, but with Xiang Ao and others, Dong Zhuo was not good at scheming. Today, Dong Zhuo's appearance for several months has completely subverted the views of Xiang Ao and others. In this way, Xiang Ao still plans to gather everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Lord, can you write a letter to Duke Cai and ask Duke Cai to move to the Northern Regions?" Xi Zhong said solemnly: "Now Luoyang is a land of right and wrong, even if Dong Zhuo is a little jealous of the lord, but Dong Zhuo is not afraid of the world, if the situation is forced, Cai Gong is afraid that his life is in danger." ”
"With his father's temperament, he will definitely not leave Luoyang at this time." Without waiting for Xiang Ao to answer, Cai Yan on the side said extremely worriedly. Cai Yong is Cai Yan's father after all, and Xiang Ao also brought Cai Yan with him for this discussion. Cai Yan knelt beside Xiang Ao and continued: "My father's lifelong wish is to be able to correct the world's classics, hoping to help the world's scholars correct some falsehoods in the writings of the saints of the past, so as to seek true knowledge. And if Luoyang has the largest collection of books today, how could my father leave? ”
When Xi Zhong and the others heard this, their faces were also not good. Everyone knows that Cai Yong is a little stubborn, even pedantic, and with Cai Yong's temperament of treating books as his life, it is indeed extremely difficult to persuade Cai Yong to leave Luoyang. Besides, in the current situation, will Dong Zhuo let Cai Yong leave?
Hu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said to Xiang Ao with some excitement: "Lord, Zhao has a plan!" ”
"Since it is difficult for us to convince Cai Gong, why don't we try to send someone to Luoyang?" Hu Zhao didn't wait for Xiang Ao to ask, and quickly said what he thought: "Now that the Northern Regions Academy has been established not long ago, the Northern Regions have insufficient heritage and have very few books. The lord can go to the imperial court and send the bachelor to Luoyang to copy the classics. First, it can enrich the literary heritage of the Northern Regions; Second, you can send some brave warriors to Luoyang to protect Cai Gong! ”
Not only Xiang Ao, but also all the civil ministers and military generals in the government hall were all bright. Especially Xiang Ao, Xu Shu and others who attach importance to the popularization of knowledge. The same is true for Cai Yan, on weekdays, Xiang Ao is busy with affairs, and Cai Yan also takes the initiative to take care of the affairs of the school for Xiang Ao, and Cai Yan is very clear about the current situation of the school.
"Chief Hu's mind is really exquisite!" Cai Yan saluted, praised Hu Zhao, and admired it in his heart.
"What Madame said is very true, not only to solve my father-in-law's affairs, but also to solve a major problem in the Northern Regions today. Kong Ming is really my son's room! Xiang Ao looked at Hu Zhao, his face full of joy.
"The lord and the lord and the mother are falsely praised!" Seeing Xiang Ao praise him like this, Hu Zhao was a little embarrassed and said modestly.
"Okay, Kong Ming shouldn't be too modest!" Xiang Ao said lightly: "Immediately write to the court to show this matter." ”
"And!" Xiang Ao pondered slightly: "After choosing the person to go to, go to Luoyang with the song." In order for Dong Zhuo to agree, it is okay for Kong Ming to be a little harsh. ”
"Don't worry, the lord can save it!" Hu Zhao responded indifferently.
"Ah Meng!" Xiang Ao suddenly remembered that a month ago, Lu Zhi was degraded, so he called Jiao Meng, who was outside the door, and said: "Arrange loyal and brave people to inquire where Lu Gong has gone north?" Even if the carriage and horses are in a hurry, it will not be more than a month to arrive in Wuyuan. Lu Gong has not arrived for a long time, and I am very worried. ”
"Yes, my lord!" Jiao Meng, who strode into the palace, took the order and turned around and left.
"Wait!" Xiang Ao called back Jiao Meng and said: "Assign two roads, Lu Gong is very likely to transit Jizhou, don't miss it!" ”
"No!"
After Jiao Meng left, Xu Shu was slightly puzzled: "The lord is going to place Duke Lu in Daijun?" "Even if Xiang Ao's reputation in the Northern Regions is not low, but Lu Zhi is also a world-famous Confucian, if it is not handled properly, Xu Shu is worried that whether Lu Zhi is willing or not, I am afraid that Xiang Ao's power in the Northern Regions will be divided.
"What is Yuan Zhi worried about?" Xiang Ao was a little puzzled.
"Lu Gongnai is a great Confucian in the world, and he is a leader in the world." Xu Shu seemed extremely difficult to speak: "Shu is worried, there are people who use the fame of Duke Lu to separate the Northern Regions. ”
When Xiang Ao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's okay, Lu Gong is upright, and he will definitely not be involved with treacherous people." Even so, there is still Ah Jing in Dai County. ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he didn't want to say more, but he took the matter to heart. On the side, Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong looked at Xu Shu with a little anger. After all, Lu Gong is a great Confucian, Xu Shu actually questioned it in public, and the two of them, who are also members of the family, must not like it in their hearts. Although the two are not today's famous families.
However, Xu Shu considered it from Xiang Ao's position, and although the two did not like it, they also agreed very much. In his heart, he wondered what the impact of Lu Zhi's coming to the Northern Regions would be, and simulated some countermeasures.
Lu Zhi didn't intend to delay, although he had to bypass the Baibo and Black Mountain ranges, and he would be able to reach the Northern Regions under normal circumstances. It's just that when he arrived at Zhongshan Kingdom, which is close to his hometown Zhuo County, he suddenly thought of going home to visit, so he transferred to Zhuo County, planning to go to Wuyuan after spending the New Year at home. What's more, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong's friendship, Lu Zhi rushed to Wuyuan later, and Xiang Ao wouldn't say much.
However, Lu Zhi did not expect that just after Chinese New Year's Eve, heavy snow fell in Youzhou, blocking traffic. Lu Zhi had to wait for the snow to recede.
In the city of Luoyang, Cai Yong's mansion is on.
Cai Yong was rescued and had been lying in his house for two or three days. I don't know if it's Cai Yong's heart knot, or if he is starting to look old, Cai Yong, who is a minor illness, has a sickly face. In the past, his friends with Cai Yong and Luoyang fled, and those who were degraded were degraded. Now that Cai Yong is in the court, Dong Zhuo has to be reused, so how can Cai Yong be able to see it.
Cai Yong was on crutches, with the support of his subordinates, wrapped in a velvet coat, standing at the door of the room, looking at the heavy snow outside the house that seemed to not stop, and his thoughts drifted far away. Cai Yong understands Xiang Ao, and believes that he will not harm himself if he chooses a son-in-law. The current situation, in Cai Yong's view, is Dong Zhuo's treacherous plan to trap himself in injustice. However, compared with his reputation, Cai Yong is more worried that Xiang Ao will be implicated in this matter, if the corporal in the world also misunderstands that Xiang Ao and Dong Zhuo are in the same stream, how can it be good!
Especially after Dong Zhuo worshiped the Taishi, he did whatever he wanted, lingering in the harem almost every day, and no one was seen. The Xiliang soldiers stationed in the north of Luoyang City were also becoming more and more rampant, and even killed people in public.
Time flies, a flicker is more than a month, come to the emperor in February of the seventh year.
Although Dong Zhuo is perverse, he is a harem of lewd pleasure. However, Dong Zhuo did not ignore the government affairs, and still at the suggestion of Jia Xu and Li Ru, the ministers who opposed Dong Zhuo were degraded and punished. After the Spring Festival, Dong Zhuo wrote to the imperial court and changed the name of the year to Chuping. It is the year of February, and it is February of the first year of the first peace. Perhaps God had mercy, and on the second day of the emperor's edict to change the name of the year, the heavy snow that froze the Han Dynasty to a thousand holes suddenly stopped. The warm sun is shining, and even the northern regions and the extreme north of Youzhou suddenly show a little warmth.
In less than half a month, the snow in the Central Plains was removed, and even in the far north of the frontier, it was possible to travel normally. In previous years, there was only a hint of spring at the end of March, but at the beginning of March of the first year of Chuping, everything began to recover.
The weather is getting warmer, and everything is coming to life. At the same time, whether it is Dong Zhuo in Beijing or heroes from all over the country, they are all moving frequently and planning and arranging.
