Chapter Ninety-Two: Plotting against Dong Zhuo
Han Wen District, Sima Province.
Sima Fang is sitting by the window, writing hard, although he is no longer the captain of the school, but Yu Wei is still there, and he knows everything about the DPRK and China.
Someone in the DPRK has heard that Dong Zhuo's lawlessness has been issued recently, and his attitude towards the Son of Heaven has become more and more presumptuous, saying that although the Son of Heaven is a puppet, after all, he still has the right to read the chapter, but now Dong Zhuo has a glance at the power, and the chapter is directly issued without the consent of the Son of Heaven.
Although he is not usurping, he actually considers himself the Son of Heaven, and this time he has completely stepped on the bottom line of the Kwantung soldiers, because someone has moved his mind to Dong Zhuo.
But Dong Zhuo not only controls the court, but most importantly, he controls the most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry in his hands, how can he say that he can do it? There is no foolproof countermeasure, once the shot fails, it will affect the whole body.
"Father." Sima Lang pushed open the door and walked in.
"Boda is here." Sima Fang put down the brush in his hand, looked up at Sima Lang's anxious face, and wondered, "What's the matter with Boda?" ”
"Sima Gu sent someone to inform my father that His Royal Highness King Hongnong still came to Hanoi County and is now in Huai County." Sima Lang said in a condensed voice: "According to Sima Gu, His Highness not only skillfully designed to defeat Yu Fuluo, but also beheaded the first fierce general of the Huns, Suo. ”
"Actually, my father has already learned the news that His Highness has come to Hanoi County."
"What.... Father already knew..."
"Yes, my father has known it for a long time, and not only that, but I also know that Wang Xian of Huaixian is a fool who can't do it." Sima Fang sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's just that this is not the time to meet His Highness." ”
The reason why the Sima clan overwhelmed all the families in Hanoi was not only because of Sima Fang's relationship as the lieutenant of the school, but also because the Sima clan's reputation in the entire Hanoi County was quite good, and it was recognized by almost all the people, so if there was any situation in Hanoi, someone would come to report.
When Liu Wei just stepped into Hanoi County, some people told the people of the Sima family the news, Sima Fang according to the description, the first time to react, it must be Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, for this Sima Fang was very surprised in his heart, secretly calling God bless the Han.
"Since my father made the news of His Royal Highness, why is it..."Sima Lang frowned and looked at Sima Fang.
"Boda." Sima Fang shook his head helplessly and said: "For my father, I don't know the situation of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is a thorn in the eyes of Dong Thief, and after the great rebellion, he personally ordered His Highness to be escorted to Hongnong County, but now that His Highness has quietly come to Hanoi County, he must have escaped the clutches of Dong Thief." ”
"However, in order to get the slightest rumor of Luoyang, it must be Dong Thief who still doesn't know His Highness's whereabouts. If the father rashly meets His Highness, once the news reaches Luoyang, won't it hurt His Highness? ”
"This ....."
"Alright." Sima Fang waved his hand, picked up the parchment scroll in front of him and handed it to Sima Lang and said, "Your Highness's affairs, Boda doesn't need to worry, he knows it in his father's heart." Thou shalt deliver this letter into the hands of the prince. ”
Sima Lang took the letter, nodded and said, "The child knows." ”
。。。。。。
Luoyang, Xunfu.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
There was a shrill cough sound in the candlelit study, as if to tear his throat and eyes apart, Wang Yun looked at Xun Shuang with a pale face worriedly, Xun Shuang's body was not healthy, and he was later forcibly recruited as an official by Dong Zhuo, and he was promoted several times in a month, and he was ranked in the Taiwan Division.
Outsiders look very envious, but those who are familiar with Xun Shuang know that Xun Shuang doesn't like to be an official, but now he is deeply valued by Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, Xun Shuang's condition has become more serious, and it can be said that he is already terminally ill.
"Ahem..."
Xu Shuang coughed hoarsely twice, finally stopped the choking cough, slowly removed the handkerchief covering his mouth, and under the flickering candlelight, he saw a drop of red on the white silk handkerchief, Xu Shuang's eyes dimmed in an instant, quietly put away the silk handkerchief, beckoned to Wang Yun, and said weakly: "Zishi...."
Wang Yun glanced at Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu and the others present, and stepped forward and couldn't help but persuade: "Ciming, you can recuperate with peace of mind, it is better to discuss such important matters at another date!" ”
Xun Shuang waved his hand, tears welled up in his pale face, and he shook his head and said: "My Han Dynasty's foundation of more than 400 years is about to be destroyed, how can I ignore the safety of the Han because of my humble body?" If so, I will not turn a blind eye. ”
Xun Shuang's words made everyone here feel related, although Dong Zhuo originally took over the power in the court, but after all, from the three dukes to the big and small officials, they were all controlled by the Dongshi clan.
But recently, Dong Zhuo secretly made a move and quietly destroyed most of the forces of the Kwantung clan, and when they reacted, it was too late, especially Yuan Kui regretted it, but at this time, Dong Zhuo's general trend has been achieved, even if the power of the Kwantung clan is combined, it cannot be shaken.
And Xun Shuang was anxious in his eyes, he promised Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong to accept the recruitment of officials, in order to find an opportunity to conspire, seeing that this matter could no longer be delayed, he summoned Wang Yun, Zhou Yu, Wu Qiong, Wu Fu, Ding Guan, Ji Ping and others to come to the mansion to discuss.
However, after everyone came to the house, they saw that Xun Shuang's body was worried, among which Ji Ping was one of the most famous medical officials in this era, and he quietly shook his head under the pulse of his own voice, Xun Shuang was already in the past, even if Bian Que was resurrected, he couldn't save him.
However, under Xun Shuang's request, everyone still agreed on a countermeasure.
Early the next morning, Xun Shuang dragged the sick body to Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Mansion, Xun Shuang can be said to be the most valued henchman by Dong Zhuo at present, and when he passed by the doorman, the doorkeeper naturally did not dare to stop him.
Xun Shuang came all the way to Dong Zhuo's study, but he didn't see Dong Zhuo's figure, Xun Shuang knew that Dong Zhuo hadn't gotten up at this time, so he came early.
A subordinate fried tea and sent it up, Xun Shuang bowed his head gently, and the subordinate was about to retreat, Xun Shuang called his subordinate to fry a cup of hot tea, and indicated that Dong Zhuo would come immediately, and the subordinate really went down to prepare sencha without knowing it.
The method of making tea in this era is different from that of later generations, which is called making tea, and this era is called sencha, and the so-called sencha is to put the tea into boiling water to cook, and then add minced ginger, fine salt and other ingredients, so making the decoction of tea is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also needs to be prepared in advance, and the tea soup is particularly turbid, and there is no clarity of tea in later generations.
Generally speaking, when visiting someone in this era, it is necessary to ask the next person to deliver the greeting post in advance to make an appointment at the time, one is polite, and the other is to ask the host to prepare the sencha in advance, so as not to be too late in time.
And Xun Shuang's method is very simple, first let the subordinates fry the tea, calculate the time, wake up Dong Zhuo halfway, and then when the tea comes up, he will poison the tea, and then Dong Zhuo should also come to the study, so the time is just right, Dong Zhuo naturally doesn't know, and he will drink tea completely ignorant.
This poison was made by Ji Ping with great difficulty, once it entered Dong Zhuo's stomach, then the biggest warlord of the Han Dynasty would definitely die on the spot, and Xun Shuang was not ready to go out alive, he wanted to prove to the world that Xun Shuang and the Xun family were by no means Dong Zhuo's lackeys.
