After Cao Cao went to Baima and Yanjin in person, Liu Bei felt a lot of relief, although he knew that Cao Cao would definitely have a back hand, but without Cao Cao, Liu Bei became a lot calmer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, Liu Bei just picked a basket of vegetables and vegetables in the garden of Fuzhong, and before he had time to wash his hands, he saw the guards in Fuzhong come to report, "It is said that someone in the mansion of Dong Che has come to invite, and I hope the general will come to the house to explain." ”

Liu Bei was stunned in his heart, this Dong Chengben was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, a distant relative of Dong Table, and the uncle of today's son (father-in-law, the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven was called the uncle of the country in the Eastern Han Dynasty). What is the matter with him coming to me?

However, Liu Bei didn't plan to refuse, he was worried that something was wrong with the Son of Heaven. So, after a little cleaning, he came to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion with the comers, and he didn't need to be named, and the people who came were brought directly into the mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Uncle Dong Cheng greeted him, and the two sides finished saluting.

Dong Chengdao: "Uncle Huang has been here for many days, and it is really a sin to admit that he has not talked to Uncle Huang for official business or to avoid suspicion!" Today, Jin Wushou became a brother who came to the house to talk about it, and when he mentioned the imperial uncle, he did not avoid suspicion and asked the imperial uncle to come to the house.

When Liu Bei heard this, he wondered: "What does Dong Che mean by the words of this imperial uncle?" ”

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Liu Yuzhou and Shang Guogong, Hussar General, and Yongzhou Mu are brothers, and Hussar General was originally the emperor's younger brother who recognized each other, so he is naturally the emperor's uncle today." In this way, wouldn't Xuande Gong be the emperor's uncle of the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Bei realized and sighed: "Ashamed! Ashamed! Since the loss of the ancestors, my family has always told me and other descendants to win glory for our ancestors and regain the glory given by our ancestors. I'm also stained, and I deserve it! Well deserved! ”

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "You can't say that, the Duke of Yuzhou is also famous for the Han, nearly ten years ago, the Tiger Prison Pass was a battle, and the Han was shocked. At that time, when I heard the name of Sanying, I had palpitations. Now he is the official general who leads the assassination of Yuzhou, and he is also an important minister of the court. ”

Liu Bei didn't know what Dong Cheng meant, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but just laughed and said: "General Che Cai, as the uncle of the country, a relative of the Son of Heaven, and the third duke, this is an important minister of the court." ”

Dong Cheng smiled: "Okay! Let's stop flattering each other, Brother Shoucheng is still waiting inside? Walk! We sat down and talked over a drink. As he spoke, he took Liu Bei's hand and went inside.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he saw that there was still a person sitting on the table, and when he saw Liu Bei coming in, he also stood up and said, "Teng has seen General Zuo!" ”

Liu Bei returned the salute and said, "I've seen Lord Zhijinwu!" ”

Then I took a closer look at Ma Teng: I saw that this person was only more than forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a large figure, a pair of thick eyebrows with a hint of majesty, two locks of long beard drooping from the corners of his mouth, and a pale complexion.

Ma Teng also looked at Liu Bei at the same time, and said: "General Zuo is really the same as the rumors, the heroic spirit is subtle but not revealed, elegant and friendly, which makes people feel close. ”

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Everyone drinks in private, you don't need to be commensurate with your official position, you still have to call your brother and brother easy-going!" ”

Liu Bei and Ma Tengqi said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is still reasonable!" ”

Liu Bei immediately said. "Shoucheng Gong can come to the court to take office, which can be regarded as leaving the troubled place of Liangzhou, which shows that Shoucheng Gong is noble."

Dong Cheng waited for the two of them to shout as soon as they finished speaking, "Set the wine and serve the food!" ”

After a while, the servants began to bring all kinds of delicacies and wines to their tables. A few people said some gossip, and when they were half drunk, Ma Teng said: "Brother Xuande is living comfortably in Yuzhou, how can he also enter the court to take up this idle position?" ”

Liu Bei knew that the main topic was coming, but for some reason it was Ma Teng who brought it up, so he became more cautious and replied: "Since the battle with Lu Bu, Sikong Daobei is also a hard battle, and Xudu is also under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou. Don't dare but have good intentions. It's good to plant vegetables, repair fruit trees, and read some books of sages in your spare time, which is really much more leisurely than when you were in Yuzhou. ”

Ma Teng said: "This is not General Zuo's sincere words!" As far as I know, General Zuo's wife and daughter are still in Tancheng, Xuzhou. And Lord Sikong is not at ease about what General Zuo has done, and people often watch him. General Zuo can't deny this! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed, and he got up and said: "Shou Chenggong said this, I don't dare to bear it, and I leave!" After that, he got up and bowed his hand to Dong Cheng and walked out.

Dong Cheng glanced at Liu Bei, and did not stop him, but sighed and said, "What the Son of Heaven has entrusted seems to be hopeless!" Poor Your Majesty also said that the two imperial uncles are loyal and righteous people, and they will definitely live up to me and trust each other. It seems that the Son of Heaven also recognized the wrong person, and the loyalty of the two brothers is not necessarily the same! After speaking, he shook his head and sighed.

Ma Teng said: "So timid and afraid, this is all for his surname Liu, thanks to us, an outsider, who fights so hard, even the three clans." Even so, without this imperial uncle, we will definitely live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What is going on today?" How is it related to Your Majesty? ”

Dong Chengdao: "That's it! General Zuo is reluctant to give the wealth and wealth given by the thief, so it is better not to ask, so as not to cause trouble and worry about his life! ”

Liu Bei apologized: "It's not good to prepare!" I thought it was Sikong Tuo asking each other, so I said that it was related to the Son of Heaven, and I didn't hesitate to do it! ”

Dong Chengdao: "Since that's the case, I'll say it, but in this way, the net worth and life of me and a few others, as well as the safety of the Son of Heaven, are all on Uncle Huang!" ”

Liu Bei swore an oath: "If it is related to the Son of Heaven, you must have no regrets, otherwise God will send it!" ”

Dong Cheng smiled when he heard this: "I also told Brother Shou Cheng just now that Uncle Huang is loyal and resolute, and he is by no means a timid person, and this matter must be trusted!" Is Brother Shoucheng credible now? ”

Ma Teng said: "If I admit my mistake, only the hussar general is loyal to His Majesty, and everyone misunderstood him at the beginning." Thinking that General Zuo was in the Cao thief camp and in a high position, how could he risk his life? I really misunderstood General Zuo, Teng apologized to General Zuo! After speaking, he bowed deeply to the ground.

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Ma Teng up and said, "Shou Chenggong is really ready to kill!" However, since the beginning of the incident, although they have been running from place to place, they dare not forget their loyalty to the Son of Heaven, to the people, to their brothers, and their friends. What is going on today? Please also ask Uncle Guo to explain! Otherwise, Bei has been in the fog, and he is always cowardly in his heart, worried about losing the emperor's grace! ”

Dong Chengdao: "Uncle Huang has heard of the first Taiwei Yang Wen and Lord Yang?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I have heard a little, I would like to hear it in detail!" ”

Dong Chengdao: "Lord Yang's family has been a succession of ministers, and the Yang family can be said to be the same as the Yuan family in Runan, and when the Son of Heaven sowed Yue, he guarded the Son of Heaven all the way, and he also suffered a lot for His Majesty from Li Xuan, and even almost lost his life!" Some time ago, Cao Thief pointed out that Lord Yang was related to the traitor Yuan Shu, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the Son of Heaven to put him in prison and be executed.

The Son of Heaven personally interceded with Cao Thief and said, 'Lord Yang has been loyal all the way since he moved to Chang'an with me, and then to Xudu. Cao Thief didn't allow it, but said that the Son of Heaven was young, and it was easy to fall for bad people, and he couldn't tell right from wrong, and he wanted the Son of Heaven to continue to follow Taifu to study.

Later, after the intercession of many ministers, Kong Rong, the Shaofu Mansion, did not even wear court clothes, so he went to see Cao Thief.

Cao Thief said that it was the idea of the Son of Heaven, and Kong Rong said, 'If King Cheng is allowed to kill Shao Gong, can Zhou Gong say that he doesn't know?' He also said, "For example, the reason why the corporal admires Cao Gong is because Cao Gong is smart and benevolent, recommends upright people, and makes the Quartet happy." Now that you want to kill innocent people, then no one at home will respect you anymore! If that's the case, I, Kong Rong, am still a Lu man, so I'll leave tomorrow and don't come to the court! ”

Seeing that the public was angry, this Cao thief pretended to send someone to try it, and appointed Man Zhong as the main judge, Kong Rong and Xun Yu as jurors.

Until the full favor reported: "There is no evidence, this person is famous in the sea, if there is no evidence to execute him, I am afraid that he will lose the support of the people." In this way, the thief released Lord Yang. After that, I wanted to have a banquet for Lord Yang, but Lord Yang ignored it, as if I had wronged the Son of Heaven.

Such a traitor is truly abominable. But the power of the Son of Heaven can't be explained to Lord Yang in person, so he has to suffer in his heart. In fact, you don't know the cause of this incident, but I know best. ”
