Chapter 500: The Finale

With the sudden death of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, he was nicknamed Xing.

Although Liu Wei did not take charge of any government during his reign, it is undeniable that the Han family was in his hands, from fragmentation to unification, which can be regarded as a kind of Zhongxing image. The use of the nickname 'Xing' is a bit ironic, but it is also appropriate.

In the sixth year of Taiping, Dong Yu pacified the eastern part of the country, and the class returned to the dynasty.

Although the war in Jiangdong has not yet ended, everyone can see clearly that Sun Ce will not be able to support it for too long, and the defeat will be sooner or later.

At the end of the same year, the one-year-old crown prince Liu Tong, supported by Dong Li, ascended to the throne and changed the era name to Daguan.

Dong Li used such means to tell those with ill intentions that he would not usurp the throne.

But at the same time, because the young emperor was too young to govern, Dong Li stayed in Chang'an at the request of the old ministers of the court.

In the past, the agreement between him and Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty was also lost in the long river of history with the bizarre 'death' of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, as an old courtier of the Three Dynasties, Dong Li has successively assisted Emperor Ling, Emperor Xing and Emperor Shao, and his position has been unshaken.

In the first year of Daguan, Dong Yu was appointed as the regent, and the general leader of the affairs of the court and the central government should be in charge, which can be said to be unmatched.

For Dong Li's decision, many people felt disappointed. However, in March of the first year of Daguan, Dong Li made another strange decision.

Dong Ji, who had been imprisoned for a whole year, was released.

Many people feel that after this incident, Dong Ji's status as a son will be canceled. However, after Dong Ji was released, Dong Ji officially announced that Dong Ji was the prince of the Liang Wangfu, and built the Shizi Mansion in Jinchangfang, allowing Dong Ji to open the mansion alone and recruit staff.

This is definitely an incomprehensible move.

But there are still smart people, and from Dong Li's decision, they have figured out a little taste.

Especially when the civil and military officials who were imprisoned in the prison with Dong Ji in the past surrendered one after another after Dong Ji opened the mansion, but Dong Li did not say anything, the situation seemed to become clear, and some people began to think about it and came to recommend themselves.

But other than that, Dong Li didn't say anything else.

There are rumors in the market that although Dong Ji was appointed as the prince of King Liang, in fact, since he was released, Dong Ji has not given a good face.

In August of the first year of Daguan, Lu Xun burned Chai Sang and captured the Lujiang River.

In the same month, Pang Tong designed in Wusheng, shot Cheng Pu, captured Yu Xuan, and completely occupied Huiji. Zhang Ren took the opportunity to divide his troops and attack Danyang.

In October, Shamoke Huang Zhong attacked from Jiujiang and beheaded Danyang Taishou Zhang Hong.

There is good news, and naturally there is bad news...... Chen Gong and Xu Shu designed a sneak attack on Qu A, but Zhuge Liang saw through it, ambushed them halfway, and shot Chen Gong.

This is also the biggest blow to Dong Yu in the first year of Daguan.

In December of the first year of Daguan, Dong Yu announced the reform of the government. The Jiuqing system was abolished, and six departments were set up, and Shangshu Shilang was placed; A cabinet was formed, and the first and second assistants were established. In fact, this cabinet system has already risen, but it was called the Chengming Palace back then, and now the banner of the Chengming Palace is played out openly. As for the merits of this system, we can only test it slowly in future practice.

But at least for now, no one dares to speak out against it.

In the first month of the second year of Daguan, the war in Runan subsided......

Zhang Yan retreated to Qishan under the attack of Chen to Pang De, and died of illness in the same month.

Hu Zhao was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Pang De was named the head of the Jingzhou march, and the military and government were separated to form a ** system.

Lou Gui was named the assassin of Yuzhou, and Chen Zhi was appointed as the commander of the Yuzhou march.

Liang Xi was the assassin of Yanzhou, and Zhang He served as the head of the Yanzhou march......

At this point, the Kanto region was pacified, and with the slow implementation of Dong Li's law, it gradually recovered its vitality and regained the prosperity and prosperity of the past.

In the second year of Daguan, Zhuge Liang married Sun Ce's sister Sun Ren.

Sun Ren, nicknamed Shangxiang, is brave and brave, and Zhuge Liang is together, but to a large extent, he makes up for Zhuge Liang's shortcomings.

However, in October of the same year, Sun Ce counterattacked Shangyu and was ambushed by Pang Tong. On the way back to Wu County, he was met by Ganben again.

The two armies fought hard, and Sun Ce was killed by Gan Ben in front of the battle. However, Gan Ben himself was also hit to the death by Sun Ce and was seriously injured. In December of the same year, he died on the couch. Pang Tong was ordered to take over the Wujian Army and continued to launch another round of ferocious attacks on Wu County.

In the third year of Daguan, Danyang was lost.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already shown the wisdom and ability of the one who was almost like a demon in the romance.

After Sun Ce's death, he took over Jiangdong with the support of Sun Ren. Only relying on Wu County, he and Lu Xun Pang Tong Xu Shu went around.

When Dong Li received the battle report, he couldn't help but sigh: "How can there be any genius in this world? Anyone needs to go through some training to show their abilities. If Zhuge Kongming could have reached today's level three years ago, the outcome would not yet be known. ”

Didn't rush!

Dong Li finally saw Zhuge Liang's amazing ability and means.

However, the general trend has gone, and he has no power to return to the sky...... The only good thing is that Zhuge Liang can indulge in his whimsical means.

At least for a whole year, in the face of Pang Tong, Lu Xun and Xu Shu, they did not show their superiority at all.

It's just that due to the lack of resources in Wu County, the resources that Zhuge Liang can use are becoming more and more scarce. At the end of the fourth year of Daguan, he finally tasted defeat.

For Dong Li, the four years of Daguan are undoubtedly a very wonderful year.

Pang Tong, Lu Xun and Xu Shu are three people, and there are endless tricks; Zhuge Kongming fought alone, and he was also a clever move, not to mention the three of them.

It's just that Dong Li can't stand it anymore!

This is one more day, and countless money and food are lost. Even if his family has a big business, it can't be so consumed.

So, Dong Li wrote a letter and sent it to Zhuge Liang through Zhuge Jin. In March of the fifth year of Daguan, Zhuge Liang saw that the general trend had gone, so he took his family and family members to attack Haiyan with a free fist, seized more than 30 giant Wuya warships of the Liaodong Navy stationed in Haiyan, entered the sea from Hangzhou Bay, and fled away from home.

About 20 years later, what was considered a wilderness at the time, but what was later known as Malaysia and Indonesia was created as a whole new country. The country name is 'Wu', which is called the Great Wu Heavenly Kingdom in the history books, and has since dominated the South Seas.

But that's another story!

In October of the fifth year of Daguan, Lu Xun was ordered to return to Chang'an, knighted the Marquis of Shu, and married Cai Jie, who had been a bitter marquis for seven years and was nearly twenty-five years old.

In the first month of the sixth year of Daguan, Pang Tong's class returned to the dynasty......

******

For Dong Ji, the past few years have undoubtedly been like a dream.

worked hard, but was completely denied by his father. However, during the year in the prison, Dong Ji seemed to understand many truths.

Everyone has their own principles!

Just like his father, his principles are actually very simple. Not for glory and wealth, nor for ruling the world. Dong Li's principle is to protect the family and pay attention to every promise he has made. As for some things, they are really urgent.

For example, when Liu Wei disappeared, if Dong Li really ascended the throne, then he would have to face the conquest of the world.

Previously, Dong Yu occupied the righteousness.

If he usurped the throne, then the righteousness will be lost, and what will happen to the Kanto region?

It is certain that at that time, Zhao Jian and others in Jizhou would never allow such a thing to happen. But when the world is calm and the power is in the hands, the situation will no longer be the same. At least for now, it is.

Zhao Jian has been dead for a year.

And Jizhou, under the governance of Zhao Jian, has been completely pacified. The new Jizhou assassin Shi Lu Zhu unknowingly took over Jizhou.

Zhao Jian's five years of hard work finally fell into Dong Yan's control.

Sometimes when I think about it, ginger is still old and spicy. My father said again and again that everything should be done gradually...... I always felt that my father seemed to have lost the pride and ambition of galloping across the field and dominating the world. But now it seems that everything is under his control.

The more this is the case, the more cautious Dong Ji becomes.

After serving as the prince of King Liang, Dong Yu transferred Dong Ji to the Chengming Palace and served as the first assistant senator. Busy all day.

On this day, Dong Ji was newly appointed, concurrently serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and presiding over this autumn's big exam.

Dong Ji couldn't help but be taken aback.

This spring and autumn test has now been carried out for seven years.

However, Dong Li strictly restricted the personnel who presided. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, such an important task came to Dong Ji.

Dong Ji was panicked and immediately rushed to the Ministry of Rites to report to Shi Tao.

Shi Tao naturally had to give encouragement, and explained the details of the upcoming autumn examination to Dong Ji in detail. When I left the Ministry of Rites, it was already late.

Dong Ji unexpectedly found that outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites, there was a person standing.

"Uncle Yuanrong, why are you here?"

Dong Tie smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Shizi, the prince ordered me to wait for Shizi here, so that you can go back to the palace immediately, and there are important matters to discuss." ”

"Ahh

I couldn't help but be surprised.

Since Dong Li ordered him to open the mansion, anything was directly announced through the Chengming Palace.

Unless there are special circumstances, basically don't talk to him. For this matter, his mother Dong Lu didn't know how many tears she shed underneath.

Why is it suddenly summoned today?

Dong Ji thought about it carefully and felt that in the past few years, he has been very honest and has not done anything out of the ordinary......

"Shizi, let's hurry up!" Dong Tie said: "The prince has been waiting for a long time, if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid he will be angry." ”

Dong Ji got on the horse and walked side by side with Dong Tie.

Nominally, Dong Tie has resigned from all official positions and is a subordinate of the Liangwang Mansion. But in fact, everyone knows that Dong Li's trust in Dong Tie is only comparable to a few people in the world. In addition to Dian Weishamoke, there is also Suihou Pangtong.

In front of Dong Tie, Dong Ji really didn't dare to put on a score.

"Uncle Tie, what is the matter with my father looking for me?"

Dong Tie said: "I don't know about this. This morning, the prince received a letter from the Western Regions...... Then he was shut up in his study all day, talking to a few ladies. It was probably at the time of the unitary time that the prince came out and immediately asked me to come to you. In addition, the Marquis of Qi, the Marquis of Wang, the Marquis of Shu and the Marquis of Sui were all notified...... They weren't very busy, though, and they should have arrived by now. ”

"Ahh

Dong Ji didn't dare to delay!

Qi Hou Dianwei, Wanghou Shamoke, Shu Hou Lu Xun, Suihou Pang Tong......

Except for Lu Xun, who is considered to be his own family, several other people can be said to be Dong Li's closest and most trusted people. Suddenly summoned, there must be a big event.

Dong Ji hurriedly came to the house with Dong Tie, and before he could see his mother, he was taken to the study.

The Liangwang Mansion has not changed, and the study room is displayed with new golden silk nan wood furniture, and stacks of books and maps are placed on it.

Dong Yan sat behind the bookcase, and Dian Weishamoke and others had already arrived.

"Lord Wang, the prince is here!"

"Let him in."

Dong Li's expression was very calm. After a few years, he looks fatter than before, with a lion nose and a wide mouth, if he is not willing to grow a beard, he seems to be a copy of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Ji walked in worriedly.

I don't know why, the pressure my father has put on people in the past two years has been getting bigger and bigger.

"Xiao Tie, you are guarding outside, no one is allowed to come in without my permission."

"Whoa!"

Dong Ji chuckled in his heart, it seemed that something big had happened.

Dong Yan motioned for Dong Ji to sit down, picked up a dossier, opened it and glanced at it twice, then raised his head and looked at Dong Ji.

"Bowe!"

"The child is here!"

"You've done a great job in the past two years, and you've changed a lot compared to before. Hehe, just look at your Shizifu, there are many talents. ”

Dong Ji Jiling struck a chill.

"Lieutenant Gao Shun has become your tooth keeper; Zilong, the general of the forbidden middle school, has also become your captain...... Well, Wei Yan actually became your soldier Cao Peng, and Xun You became the governor of the prince's mansion; Well, there is also this Liangmao Lu Yu, I can only do what you do, Cao Pi and Xun Shi, the top three of the two first imperial examinations, and the bachelors of the dignified Tai Academy, are just your book...... Bowey, you're doing a great job.

Well, in addition to your previous dog-headed military advisor Zhou Budo, accomplice Wang Mai, thug Guo Huai...... Hehe, my eyes are red when I look at it. ”

Dong Ji's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"Well, what surprised me the most was that this Shi Ah actually became the general of your house. His swordsmanship is good, and he doesn't let Xiao Tie much. ”

Dong Yan closed the file and looked at Dong Ji with a smile, "Bowei, you did a very good job!" ”

"Child, child......"

Dong Ji was a little out of breath, looked up at a few people around him, but found that everyone was smiling faintly.

seemed to react a little, Dong Ji said softly: "The child knows that all this is arranged by his father, if it weren't for his father, how could the child have the ability to recruit so many virtuous people?" ”

Dong Yan sighed.

"You're full-fledged, and I know some things.

Actually, I wanted to come back and kill you. If it weren't for Meng De's words before he died, I am afraid that I would not have changed my mind.

Meng De said, when it is decided, it is decided, and there are some things that I can't do.

When you think about it, he has a lot of sense. Since there are some things that I can't change, I just go with the flow and let them develop.

In the past two years, I am very satisfied with what you have done in Chengming Palace. ”

Dong Ji was silent, not daring to open his mouth to answer Dong Ji's words.

Dong Li took out a letter, "Your grandfather is gone!" ”

"Huh?"

Dong Li's tone was tinged with sadness, "I am most grateful to the two people in my life." One is your great-grandmother, if it weren't for her, I might have been drowned at birth, and she gave me life; The other is your grandfather, if it weren't for his old man, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to achieve today's situation. Not to mention, he also gave me your aunt, and since then, I have been slowly accepted by the scholars. ”

Dian Visamoko all showed a sad look.

"Your grandfather left behind a son, and now he is also a small lord in Persia. The situation in Persia is not very stable, especially after your grandfather is gone, and many people are staring at your little uncle. No, your grandmother sent a letter asking me to send troops to help your little uncle. ”

In fact, although Dong Li did not explain it, everyone here knew who that grandmother was.

"I've said yes!"

Dong Yan smiled faintly, "A month later, I will lead the troops west." Your mother, the eldest mother, the third mother, and the fourth mother, as well as your younger brothers and sisters, will all go with me. In addition, your uncle, third uncle, and Shi Yuan will move their families west with me. You...... See what I mean? ”

Dong Ji opened his mouth wide, "What about me?" ”

Lu Xun said: "My father-in-law thinks that the emperor is still young, and he can't afford to lose people in his family when he goes on this expedition. So I hope you stay...... Prison State. ”

"Huh?"

Dong Li said: "If you talk about the prison country, you are a little younger. But when it comes to ability and experience, it's not too bad. Lou Gui is also old, and he said to me a few days ago that he wants to be a teacher. Senior brother, although he made mistakes before, he has been letting go of Shuofang for many years, enduring the hardships of Shuofeng, and governing the three counties of Saibei well, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. Tomorrow, he will be transferred back to the Chengming Temple.

There are many virtuous people around you.

With your brother-in-law by your side, and Uncle Zhilingming, they are also very satisfied with you, so I can finally rest assured that I will hand over state affairs to you.

As for whether you can do well or badly, it depends on your own ability.

You're smart, capable, and you have the means. It's just that sometimes, the amount of gas is a little smaller. However, in the past two years, there has been progress.

All of you here are from your own family, and I only have three words for you.

Think twice before doing anything, and be tolerant; Water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, should take history as a mirror, take people as a mirror; Listening is clear, and advice is against the ear. Don't take the good as small, and don't take the evil as small. I have here a letter from the military advisor for you to take a good look at. ”

After Dong Li finished speaking, he picked up a letter from the case and handed it to Dong Ji.

"Alright, that's it. Today I held a banquet at the house and invited many people...... Bowey, you go outside and pick it up. ”

"Whoa!"

Dong Ji picked up the letter, and Pang Tong and Lu Xun got up to say goodbye.

Dian Wei and Shamoko stayed.

"Second brother, are you really not going to come back?"

Dong Yan smiled calmly, "I'm not coming back...... Hehe, the world is bigger than you and I know. The Central Plains is calm, is it possible that the brute strength of you and me will be consumed on a woman's belly? is like Shasha, since accepting Cai Wan, she has become thinner and thinner! ”

Shamoko's face turned red!

"It doesn't matter to me if I don't come back or not. If Bowe can do a good job, what does it matter if I don't come back? If he doesn't have the skills, it's useless for me to come back. There are some things we can only do this far. For the rest, it depends only on his own efforts.

Now that he has chosen ......"

After Dong Li finished speaking, he got up and walked outside the house, "Let's go, the guests are already here, don't make everyone anxious to wait!" ”

******

A month later, outside Chang'an City, the flag was unfurled.

Dong Li ignored the obstruction of civil and military officials and decided to march westward. However, he left Dong Ji in charge of the country, but not many people stood up to oppose it.

At least the three auxiliary ministers of the Chengming Hall remained silent.

The first assistant Gu Yong, the second assistant Chen Dao, and the third assistant Shi Tao......

Dong Ji led his wife Lu Xin, led the officials of the shogunate, and sent Dong Yu to the Wei Bridge.

At this time, it was Yang Liu Qingqing.

Although he had already known that he had been talking to Dong Ji every day for more than the past month, Dong Lu still couldn't help but shed tears.

Dong Ji wanted to stop his mother from accompanying him.

But Dong Lu said: "Your eldest mother is from everyone's family, Sanniang dances with knives and guns all day long, and Siniang is a nerd." I don't know what will happen when I go to the West. Your father has been comfortable for the past two years, and if there is no one to take care of him, I am afraid that he will not live a very happy life.

I have followed your father since I was a child, and I know his preferences best.

Follow him, and there will be a good care...... Beaulie, be obedient, think more about everything, and don't do anything that makes your father angry. ”

Dong Ji, agree one by one.

Over there, Dong Yan comforted Cai Jie in a low voice and walked over slowly.

"Okay, it's not too early, isn't it just to send troops to fight? What kind of system does it become? ”

He waved his hand to let everyone get on the carriage, and then his eyes widened, looking Dong Ji up and down, but in that gaze, there was no longer the strictness that Dong Ji was afraid of in the past.

suddenly stepped forward and hugged Dong Ji hard.

"Six catties, take care, don't let me worry about you!"

How long has it been since I've heard Dong Li call himself by his milk name? Dong Ji's tears finally couldn't help it, and they flowed out.

"Remember my words, leave a line in everything, my father's knowledge is not good, but I also know the truth that it is too much."

"Remember, child!"

Dong Yan grinned, and hugged Dong Ji fiercely, "Take care of your sister!" ”

After speaking, Dong Li turned over and waved his big hand in the air, "Let's go!" ”

The lion's mane beast has passed its peak, but the old man is still extraordinary. Looking up to the sky, Xi Yu hissed violently, and walked forward.

Dong Ji couldn't help but catch up and shouted, "Daddy! ”

Dong Yan trembled on the horse's back, but didn't look back, just waved his hand behind him, and galloped away......

In the seventh year of Daguan, Dong Yan led his troops on an expedition to Persia, and never set foot in the Central Plains again.

In the third year after Dong Li's departure, Dong Ji, under the promotion of the courtiers, forced the young emperor Liu Tong to take the throne and ascended the throne as the emperor, with the country name 'Liang'.

In "History of Liang", Dong Ji was called Liang Taizong, and Dong Ji was respected as Taizu.

Since then, a new chapter has begun!

******

Dong Li left Chang'an and took the Cao family with him.

With Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhang as the vanguard, Dong Shuo as the left guard, Dong You as the right guard, Dong Yu personally sat in the middle army, and Dian Wei Shamoke followed the army.

Surprisingly, Sanhan Taishou Heqi became the commander of the rear army.

In He Qi's words: "After more than ten years of fighting, I fought a lot of blood in Sanhan, but I raised a body of fat." I don't want to participate in the civil war, but when I go to the west, how can I be without King Heyan? I have three sons under my knees, all of whom are willing to follow the prince and make contributions to foreign lands. ”

For He Qi's words, Dong Li was very happy.

An army of 30,000 marched towards the Western Regions.

About fifty days after leaving Chang'an, the army passed through Wuwei and arrived in Wulan County. At this time, it has already entered Zhangye.

That night, Dong Li ordered people to rest in Wulan.

At the same time, he sent a fast horse to report to Han'an City and inform Xu Huang.

Time flies really fast, and it takes twenty years to enter the Western Regions in a flash. Dong Yandian and Visamoke and the three of them, drinking in the military tent, couldn't help laughing when they talked about those things back then. At first, only the three of them were talking, but later, Cai Yan and others also joined in.

When the wine was in full swing, Dong Tie suddenly came in to report: "Lord Wang, there is an old man outside the camp who wants to see you?" ”

"The deceased?"

Dong Li was surprised and said, "What is the old man? Who is it? My deceased, you know ten percent, which one? ”

Dong Tie said with a smile: "This old man has a very big background, he didn't let me report my name, and said that if I said it, he would never let me go." Moreover, the king himself must go out to meet him. ”

"Bastard!"

When Shamoke heard this, he was furious, "That bastard kid doesn't want to live anymore, and he actually ridiculed the master?" Second brother wait a moment for me to tie him in. ”

"Wait!"

Dong Li's heart suddenly moved.

The people Dong Tie knew, and with such a big tone, looking at the people he knew, it seemed that only one person could say this.

Don't......

Dong Yan stood up with a sigh, and didn't care about everyone's surprised eyes, rushed out of the military tent barefoot, and came to the front of the gate.

In the firelight, a clear-looking, thin old man, holding a cane, stood there. Dressed in a green shirt, he is endlessly handsome.

Three strands of long hair under the chin, fluttering in the wind.

Behind him, there were two men in their thirties, standing with their hands down.

When Dong Li saw this old man, he only felt that there was a breath of unkempt hair in his chest, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to be unable to speak.

The old man smiled: "Why don't you talk when you see the teacher?" Hehe, I heard that the king is going to the west, I don't know if my old bones can be used? ”

Dong Li also laughed!

He stepped forward and slammed it to the ground, "If you have a gentleman with you, you can ...... No worries! ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter echoed in the night......
