Chapter 516: Dong Zhuo's Loyalty (II)
When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but change color slightly, and after looking at Dong Zhuo for a while, he quickly said: "I have been with the Taishi for many years, but I also know that the Taishi is not a selfish person. Li Ru, Niu Fu, and Dong Min are all your relatives, so Master Mo has no intention of letting these three people replace them? ”
"Although Li Ru has a plan, he lacks the majesty of a monarch, and he is difficult to cowardly the hearts of the people, and he is not enough to replace me. Although Niu Fu is brave and strategic, he is too rash and lacks courage, and he cannot be replaced. As for my younger brother Dong Min, he is cruel by nature, ruthless, and vain, and once the foundation of the Dong family falls into his hands, he will be destroyed! Dong Zhuo said, sighed, and shook his head bitterly.
It was the first time for Liu Xie to see Dong Zhuo showing such a helpless look in front of him, and he couldn't help but secretly smile, and asked again: "I don't know how sure the Taishi is going to the Central Plains?" ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but startle Liu Xie. Suddenly, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes again and shouted loudly: "Send two bottles of Jin Yucui to this Taishi~!" ”
After that, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and was silent. Liu Xie didn't dare to make a sound, although he was apprehensive in his heart, he was also pretending to be calm.
After a while, a soldier brought two bottles of gold-capped and jade-bodied wine on a wooden plate according to the order, and there were also two small glasses, which were put down one by one. Dong Zhuo said lightly and retreated. The soldier immediately answered his promise and withdrew.
Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, lifted a bottle of Jin Yucui, filled two glasses of wine, looked at Liu Xie, and said: "Your Majesty wants to talk to the old minister, but I don't know if you can trust the old minister?" ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he secretly changed color, but he hesitated for a while, raised his glass and drank it, and swallowed it in one gulp. Liu Xie, who had never drunk alcohol, only felt that there was a fire in his abdomen, and after coughing for a while, he exhaled and shouted, "Taishi, this is wine?" ”
"Wine is a strong thing, drinking it can boil people's blood, strengthen people's courage, and forget sorrow, it is a man's favorite thing. As the king of a country, how can he not know how to drink? Come, the old minister will have a drink with you! Dong Zhuo said, then poured another cup for Liu Xie, and then raised his glass. This is, Liu Xie was feverish, and he was not afraid, so he immediately raised his glass and shouted: "Okay!" I drink with Aiqing! ”
After that, Liu Xie raised his head and drank it all, the wine fell into his stomach, and it was burning in his abdomen like a fire, and suddenly he felt full of strength, bold, and not enjoyable, so he immediately grabbed the wine bottle again, poured himself a glass, and drank it all when he raised his head.
Or Liu Xie has been depressed for too long, and now he seems to have found a way to vent, he poured wine into himself, and after drinking seven or eight glasses in a row, the wine became prosperous, as if he had never been so happy in his life, and shouted: "It's very happy!" Those ministers all said that wine is a sad thing, it's just, such a good thing, the Taishi should have given me a long time ago~~!! Hahahaha~~!! ”
But seeing that Liu Xie's face was flushed, and he didn't know where he got the courage, he dared to drink at Dong Zhuo, and after that, he reached out to get the wine, but at this time, Dong Zhuo reached out and grabbed his wrist. Liu Xie couldn't help shaking, seeing Dong Zhuo's cold face, he secretly said that he was carried away, I was afraid that he could catch Dong Zhuo, but he didn't know how to be a good time. Dong Zhuo slowly let go of his big hand, and said with a little concern: "Those ministers are right, if you drink too much of this wine, it will be a loss of morale, and your majesty should not drink it greedily." At that time, the first emperor was greedy for this thing, so that the dragon body was damaged, but he didn't know what to do, and later he was even more playful and lost his mind, ignoring the dynasty, so there is today's turmoil. ”
Liu Xie was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and at the same time listened to Dong Zhuo's earnest teachings, and heard the sincerity in Dong Zhuo's tone, and couldn't help but be shocked: "The teachings of the Taishi, I will remember them in my heart, and I dare not forget them!" ”
"That's fine. His Majesty is a hundred times better than the first emperor, and he is willing to listen to people's persuasion, if His Majesty can be born ten years earlier... Huh... It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to say more! It can only be said that creation makes people, and every qiē is doomed! Dong Zhuo suddenly sighed a little, and raised his glass to drink. He remembered very much that he was full of enthusiasm and ambition, and he saw the traitors of the court in charge. At that time, he was young and ambitious, but he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he wrote to the imperial court, and wrote to Zhang Rang and other eunuchs to bring power to the country. Before this secret book arrived in Luoyang, it was intercepted by Zhang Rang Xizuo. Zhang Rang was furious and wanted to sue Liu Hong, saying that Dong Zhuo had slandered the ministers of the DPRK and China. Liu Hongxin will issue an edict to exterminate the Dong family. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had already learned about the news, scattered his family wealth, raised a lot of money, and hurried to Luoyang for several days to find Zhao Zhong, who was also favored by Liu Hong as Zhang Rang, and finally bribed Zhao Zhong to speak for him and temporarily persuaded Liu Hong. Liu Hong then handed over the matter to Zhang Rang to deal with. And Zhang Rang has always been friendly with Zhao Zhong, and then got benefits from Dong Zhuo, and after punishing Dong Zhuo, he bypassed Dong Zhuo.
And after that, Dong Zhuo, who saw clearly the corruption and incompetence of the Han family, changed his temperament greatly, and because of this, he achieved a generation of traitorous males!
"The First World War in the Central Plains is a matter of the world. Master, can you answer the question I just asked? At this time, Liu Xie, who didn't get an answer, seemed to be unwilling to give up, and asked again.
Dong Zhuo sighed, looked at the broken but bright moon in the sky, and said, "It's not a secret, but the old minister is not sure!" ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he stood up in fright like a thunderbolt from the sky, and exclaimed: "The Taishi is not sure, why is he in a hurry to raise troops?" ”
"Because the times are pressing. Now my generals are persuading me day and night to get rid of His Majesty and establish a new power. These people speak nicely, but they all want to get the prince's reward sooner. Right now, I need a big war to distract these people, and at the same time take advantage of this to find out which people have bad intentions and get rid of them as soon as possible. ”
"In other words, Taishi sent troops to the Central Plains this time, not only outside but also inside the Ping!" Liu Xie listened, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a condensed voice.
"Your Majesty is smart! In time, he will become a wise man. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was also shocked, and said in a deep voice.
When Liu Xie heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that as the Taishi said, I was born at the wrong time, if I could be born earlier, when the Han family did not lose the hearts of the people, I would be able to combine the talents of the world and rule it peacefully, or it could save the decline of the Han family, but now that the ambitions of the princes are obvious, who will take me to heart, the son of heaven?" ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly turned pale, and suddenly said something that made Liu Xie's heart tremble and numb.
"The old minister is brave, I don't know if His Majesty still believes that the old minister has the heart of loyalty?" When Dong Jackal, the first traitor today, burned down Luoyang and was spurned by the people of the world, he dared to speak out in front of today's son, saying that he still had the heart of loyalty. This is a big lie.
Liu Xie trembled for a while, his eyes gradually became hot, and he didn't know if he was drunk, and suddenly replied: "I believe in the Taishi!" ”
"Hahaha~~!! It can really be said that the world is unpredictable, and the righteous people in the world all regard me Dong Zhuo as a traitor to the country, but His Majesty is willing to believe that the old minister still has a loyal heart. With this favor, the old minister should be smeared with liver and brain, and the effect will be death! Dong Zhuo said, he actually got up and retreated, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie hurriedly shouted, Dong Zhuo also got up immediately, his eyes were impressive, and he bowed in a condensed voice: "Forgive the old minister for his courage, I hope to make an agreement with Your Majesty." ”
"Master, please speak!"
"Give the old minister twenty years, if the old minister can sweep the world, and His Majesty can forgive the Dong family and give Xiliang a territory. The old minister is willing to be the king of Xiliang, assist His Majesty, and lead the world! Dong Zhuo shouted, but his face was full of frankness, Liu Xie was so happy that he panicked for a while, and hurriedly asked: "What the master said is true!?" ”
"The old minister swears to the sky, if the right person has half a lie, he is willing to be thundered by the sky, and he will not die well!" Dong Zhuoli swore to the sky.
Liu Xie was so excited that he couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up: "Taishi is really a righteous man of the country!" ”
But the old minister was afraid that he would go to Luoyang today and not die well. But if the old minister dies and there is no old minister to guard by His Majesty's side, His Majesty is afraid that he will suffer another catastrophe. Dong Zhuo's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he sighed.
"Taishi has the strongest male soldiers in the world, how can he be defeated by others!?" When Liu Xie, who had hope just now, heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he shouted urgently.
"In troubled times, heroes are coming. Cao and Sun are all heroes of the world, and although Na Ma Xi is dead, there is no shortage of warriors among his subordinates, and he will come to take revenge one day. Majesty, the old minister has a word to say, and please keep in mind. ”
"Taishi, say it quickly!"
"But if the old minister dies, the only person in the world who can calm the troubled times is Cao Mengde!"
When Liu Xie heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said with a suspicious face: "After Cao Cao is only a eunuch, how can he replace the Taishi?" ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. This person can be a hundred times better than the old minister, and he will be able to achieve great things in the future. Your Majesty can rest assured. Speaking of Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo couldn't help showing approval on his face, and whispered to Liu Xie again.
"In the future, if the old minister dies, Sanfu will definitely be in chaos. Now among the Chinese martial arts, there is a handsome talent, resourceful, and alert, named Zhong Xuan, who can be entrusted by His Majesty. This person also became friendly with Xun Yu, a military advisor under Cao Cao and known as 'Wang Zuozhicai'. With Cao Cao's talent, but seeing that the old minister died, he would like to take the opportunity to rescue His Majesty and order the world's heroes. His Majesty can wait for the opportunity to teach this Zhong Xuan to secretly contact Cao Cao, and he will be able to escape. Please also be sure to remember! ”
And these words became the last words of Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie.
Time has passed, but I didn't expect that as Dong Zhuo said, even Liu Xie's current situation may be much worse than he expected.
The past is like smoke, and it is fleeting. Liu Xie, who was tired and haggard, sighed lightly and slowly opened his eyes, he really didn't know how long he could hold on.
At this moment, the door, which had been closed, suddenly opened. I saw a person walking in quickly, Liu Cheng looked at it, and couldn't help but show joy. Seeing that the man had beautiful eyebrows, a handsome face, and a tall figure, it was the Zhong Xuan mentioned by Dong Zhuo that night.
"Your Majesty, great news!! Dong Min and Li Xun were both defeated and retreated by the Ma Jiajun, and Dong Min was attacked by the fierce general of the Ma Jiajun on the way back to the north. In a big battle between the two parties, Dong Minsheng was outnumbered, but later he was injured by him when he was chasing after Pound. Now that Dong Min has been seriously injured, his army is in chaos, and the Fubo general Ma Xi has successfully surrounded Dong Min's troops. Now there are people in Niyang City who are also panicking, and it is a good opportunity to escape from here!! Zhong Xuan said with excitement on his face, and Liu Xie's heart was shocked when he heard it.
