Chapter 576: Li Ru was killed
In the twelfth year of Xingping, on the afternoon of the 24th day of the lunar month, Emperor Liu Xie held a banquet in the palace and enjoyed with his ministers.
Gao Shun promised not to attack the imperial court, so that everyone had a reason to celebrate, and Li Ru had to attend.
Wang Yun arranged it very carefully, so that Li Ru's whereabouts could be closely monitored, and when Li Ru left the house, he notified Lu Bu to leave in time and go to the palace, making the illusion that he arrived outside the palace gate at the same time as Li Ru and met by chance, and chose the opportunity to start.
In order to avoid Li Ru's suspicions, Wang Yun also specially instructed Lu Bu not to wear armor, and Lu Bu did as ordered; And let Taiwei Huang Wan enter the palace in advance to reduce everyone's suspicions.
And Wang Yun himself, after arranging all the affairs, unexpectedly went to the home of Liu Yu, the Taifu and Zongzheng, and wanted to enter the palace with Liu Yu.
He thought very well, if Lu Bu missed, Li Ru would investigate, he could use the excuse of being with Liu Yu, but he didn't know what Lu Bu was doing, and he would pass the blame away.
Wang Yun is Situ, recording Shangshu affairs, and has a lot of power, Liu Yu had to give face, greet Wang Yun, and then get in the car and go to the palace together.
Sure enough, as Wang Yun thought, Lu Bu and Li Ru met outside the palace.
Lu Bu was dressed in brocade clothes and only brought more than a dozen guards, and Li Ru relaxed his vigilance.
In order to reduce Li Ru's vigilance, Lu Bu dismounted first from a distance, ordered the guards to retreat, and took the initiative to salute forward.
Li Ru brought more than 100 guards, half of whom followed him into the palace, and half guarded at the gate of the palace.
Li Ru was unhappy with Lu Bu because of the disarmament, since Lu Bu took the initiative to say hello, he couldn't be rude, in order to appease Lu Bu, he took the initiative to invite Lu Bu to accompany him.
This is exactly what Lu Bu meant.
When he passed the palace gate, Lu Bu suddenly made a move, pulled Li Ru with one hand, turned his hands back, firmly grasped Li Ru's hands with one hand, so that he could not move, and grabbed a spear of the palace guard with the other hand, and shouted to the outside world: "Seal Your Majesty's holy decree to kill thieves, only punish the thieves of the country, and have nothing to do with everyone. ”
Li Ru was shocked: "Feng Xian, why is this? There's something to say. ”
Lu Bu said angrily: "You are a national thief, what do you have to say? Today is the time of thy death. ”
Li Ru said again: "Fengxian, you don't want to dismantle the army, such a trivial matter, why do you force each other to die?" ”
Lu Bu no longer talks nonsense with Li Ru; The palace gate only opened a side door, which was not spacious, and Lu Bu swung his spear to kill several nearby guards and forced Li Ru's other guards back; And Lu Bu's guards quickly came, handed over Lu Bu's special long iron spear, and quickly surrounded Lu Bu, blocking the palace gate.
There were two other guards, ready to take over Li Ru from Lu Bu, Lu Bu was afraid that things would change, so he resolutely and decisively killed Li Ru with a spear, and then turned over and rushed out of the palace.
Li Ru would never have thought that Lu Bu would suddenly rebel and kill him so cleanly.
Lu Bu held Li Ru's corpse in one hand and waved his spear in the other, shouting: "The national thief is dead, you will surrender and not kill!" ”
At this time, Lu Bu had weapons and war horses, which could give full play to his strong combat effectiveness and kill nearly ten Li Ru guards in a row, and the rest had to surrender in fear and be tied up.
Lu Bu threw Li Ru's body to the ground.
At this time, Wang Yun and Liu Yu were arriving at the palace gate, and saw that Li Ru was dead, and his guards had surrendered, and his heart was overjoyed, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he quickly got out of the car, and ordered the guards to light the carriage, and immediately a thick black smoke rose from the city, straight into the sky.
It's a signal to tell the rest of the world to move quickly.
But Liu Yu didn't know why, and was stunned on the spot.
Wang Yun laughed and said: "Hahaha, the big thing has been decided, Bo'an will follow me into the palace to escort you." His attitude changed fast enough, and he immediately referred to Liu Yu as a cousin, instead of the Taifu he had previously honored.
Liu Yu didn't notice this detail, and entered the palace with Wang Yun in a daze to meet Emperor Liu Xie.
After Wang Yun and Liu Yu entered the palace, they immediately ordered the palace gate to be closed, hunt down the enemies in the palace, and protect the emperor.
When the other ministers' guards saw this, they were so frightened that no one dared to come forward, some waited for the head of the house at the carriage and horses, and some quickly returned to the house and informed the person in charge of the house to make arrangements as soon as possible.
At this time, the captain Qin Yilu had already led the army to come, Lu Bu first put on armor, and then arrested the people of the Xiliang family with Wei Xu in the city, and the most important thing was the Flying Bear Army in Li Ru's house, Lu Bu wanted to collect it for his own use and enhance his own strength; And he was even more greedy for the property in Li Ru's mansion.
Wang Fu and others had already controlled the city gate according to the plan, and put smoke on the city wall, and notified Wei Xu, who was outside the city, to bring soldiers into the city.
At this time, the defensive force in Li Ru's mansion was very weak, and the soldiers were on vacation, and there was only one Flying Bear Army, with more than 300 people on duty; Even Zhonglang General Li Dao had left the city and returned to their manor outside the city.
They thought that Li Ru would not be in danger when he was in the city and attended His Majesty's banquet.
Lu Bu's officers and soldiers surrounded Li Ru's house, Qin Yilu held Li Ru's head high, and shouted loudly that Li Ru was dead, and ordered the people in the house to go out and surrender quickly.
Lu Bu was brave, and when he saw that the people in the house did not surrender, he led his troops to rush into the house, killing several people in a row, and everyone was terrified and surrendered to Lu Bu; Lü Bu made Qin Yilu the commander.
Subsequently, Lu Bu looted the wealth in Li Ru's house, took it all for himself, and occupied Li Ru's house.
At this time, Wei Xu had already led his troops into the city, led his troops to kill Niu Fu's house, easily got rid of Niu Fu, and occupied Niu Fu's house and wealth.
Li Ru and Niu Fu were both killed, and Wei Xu's army soon took control of Jumian.
When the heads of Li Ru and Niu Fu were sent to the palace, Emperor Liu Xieshi believed that the coup was successful, and howled excitedly.
Subsequently, His Majesty ordered Wang Yun to continue to serve as Situ, record Shangshu affairs, and have an overview of the government.
All the credit goes to Wang Yun.
Subsequently, Wang Yun issued an order to hunt down and kill all the people in the city who were related to the Xiliang soldiers, and countless people died as a result, and the city of Changsha was bloody and pungent.
Lü Bu and Wei Xu only led two mansions in battle, and took the people of the Flying Bear Army in the city for their own use, and killed very few people; Unexpectedly, Wang Yun was a literati, but he was ruthless in killing people.
Such a vicious killing terrified the people in the city, and many people fled from the city at night to accuse Wang Yun of his viciousness; There are also people who take the initiative to cling to Lu Bu and seek protection.
Lu Bu and others tried their best to dissuade him, but Wang Yun's goal had been achieved, and he looked down on Lu Bu at all, only regarded him as a chivalrous man, and never mentioned General Wei.
Lü Bu wanted to use the captured property of Li Ru and Niu Fu to reward the Xiliang tribes outside the city, thinking that it would be used by the imperial court, but Wang Yun also refused; Lu Bu was depressed, so he had to drink at home for fun, but he thought in his heart that he was the biggest hero in killing Li Ru and returning to the imperial court.
Wang Yun did not appease Lü Bu in time, nor did he actively pacify the Liangzhou tribes outside the city, but cleaned up the remnants of Liangzhou in the city and consolidated his power.
Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Wu Shuo, Huang Wan and Liu Yu and others dissuaded Wang Yunshao from killing, but he arrogantly refused.
As the primary hero of the killing of the national thief, Wang Yun naturally did not miss the reward of the court and the praise of everyone, so Wang Yun's attitude began to change, and he seemed to be a little fluttering, and said wildly: "Even an invincible traitor like Li Ru died under my hands, what else do I have to fear?" ”
He doesn't care about anyone or anything, he doesn't care, and he even takes credit. And in the meeting, every lack of warm color, the rod is weighty, not following expedient measures, is not attached to the group.
Whenever the ministers gathered, Wang Yun rarely talked to everyone about expedient measures as before, but sat upright with no harmony on his face.
This set the stage for his swift demise.
