In April of the third year of Chuping (192 AD), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty recovered from a serious illness and met with hundreds of civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace.

Dong Zhuo, according to his usual practice, prepared to take a car to Weiyang Palace to meet the emperor.

Dong Zhuo has been assassinated many times, and on several occasions, he almost lost his life, so he was very careful. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's entourage sentry was very large, and it was basically composed of Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers brought out from Xiliang.

Situ House.

Wang Yun kept rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth, looking very nervous.

Ma Xiaoquan leaned back on the chair with a calm face, one foot on the edge of the desk and kept dangling, Xiu'er stood behind Ma Xiaoquan's body, and a pair of skillful hands gave Ma Xiaoquan a comfortable squeeze on his shoulder.

"Ouch, Lord Situ, don't you walk back and forth, my eyes are almost gone"

Wang Yun stopped, walked in front of Ma Xiao's body, bowed and said, "Lord Shangxian, it's not that the people are willing, but the people are really nervous." ”

Ma Xiaoquan took a sip of the tea that Miaoyu brought to his mouth, and said, "What's so nervous, you and Lu Bu, didn't you discuss it that day?" ”

Wang Yun said: "Having said that, but Dong Zhuo is very careful, in case something goes wrong, wouldn't we?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Don't be afraid, this matter, Ben Xian has also calculated, although the calculation is not clear, but Ben Xian at least knows that Dong Zhuo can't live today." ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he said happily: "Lord Shangxian, is this true?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Of course, am I an immortal or are you an immortal?" ”

Wang Yun smiled: "Lord Shangxian is Lord Shangxian!" Small people are still small people! ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction: "Go and call Diao Chan out to dance for Benxian." ”

Wang Yun: ""

Dock.

After Dong Zhuo cleaned up, he looked at the bronze mirror and shone it around, so embarrassed.

Li Ru was beside Dong Zhuo and urged: "Father-in-law, the car is ready"

Dong Zhuomei ignored Li Ru and said to herself in the mirror: "Why is my right eyelid jumping around today, could it be that something bad will happen today?" ”

Li Ru didn't dare to interject, so he could only look at Dong Zhuo respectfully.

Dong Zhuo didn't feel sure how he thought about it, so he instructed Li Ru: "Li Ru, go and bring the rosewood box next to my bed." ”

Li Ru was puzzled: "Father-in-law, the time is less than a year"

Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly: "It's okay, when the little emperor ate this elixir, didn't it take a year?" ”

Li Ru was speechless, there was no way, so he had to obediently take the box over.

Dong Zhuo opened the box and gently clamped the elixir with his right index finger, middle finger and thumb.

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked Li Ru: "Li Ru, that day, when the little emperor ate this elixir, can he say that the elixir tasted?" ”

Li Ru didn't dare to hide it, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, although this elixir smells pleasant, but if you smell it closely, it smells like horse urine."

"Presumptuous!" Dong Zhuo's eyes widened and said, "How can the elixir smell of horse urine?" ”

Dong Zhuo said, and gently put the elixir into his mouth.

This so-called elixir is just made by Ma Xiaoquan with the ashes at the bottom of the pot and a bunch of Chinese medicine that pours out the fire, of course, the most important thing in it is the diarrhea magic medicine Croton.

After the pill was entered, Dong Zhuo was also shocked.

The pill must have the smell of horse urine, but Dong Zhuo had already scolded Li Ru just now, so it is impossible to reveal it now, right? Therefore, Dong Zhuo squeezed the expression of "the elixir tastes beautiful" and ate the elixir.

"Uh~~" Dong Zhuo also burped, but Dong Zhuo was fast, and when he hiccuped, he covered his big mouth, so the anger in his cavity was swallowed by Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru looked at his father-in-law's expression of eating the elixir, and seemed to enjoy it, and said in his heart: It seems that the elixir refined by the Immortal Lord is still different. The little emperor's one is not good, but the father-in-law's one looks good.

Dong Zhuo digested the pill for a while before covering his mouth and whispering, "Li Ru, let's go!" By the way, what about my son? ”

Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, didn't Feng Xian listen to your orders and go back to his mansion to change into court clothes?" ”

Dong Zhuo sighed and led Li Ru out of the dock

Lu Bu Mansion.

As soon as Lu Bu returned to the mansion, he hurriedly changed into a light court dress.

Thinking that a few days ago, he discussed with Situ Wang Yun the plan to assassinate his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu couldn't bear it.

But I can't bear it, I promised others, and I swore an oath, which can't be changed casually. The so-called cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook, if something happens to Wang Situ, he probably won't be much better; Moreover, Xian'er's little girl was still waiting to meet her, and the 17 elixirs in her father's hand (Lu Bu didn't know that one of them had been given to Emperor Han Xian) Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help wiping the saliva on his mouth.

"I transferred the sentry post accompanying my father-in-law to more than a dozen of my cronies, and then ordered Li Su to do this, I hope Li Su can do it, in this way, I will also be innocent"

Lu Bu straightened his sleeves and lifted Fang Tian's halberd out of the mansion.

Weiyang Palace. The officials who came early had already entered the palace and asked the little emperor to say goodbye, and the rest of the officials who did not come because they lived far away had already asked the retainers to come early and put down their gifts.

In the hall, the ministers looked at each other and waited for Dong Zhuo.

The little yellow door beside the little emperor couldn't help it: "Your Majesty, when is this Dong Zhuo's big shelf, why haven't you come yet?" ”

The little emperor's face was embarrassed, but there was not much he could do, so he could only comfort this little yellow door in turn and said: "Shunde, don't say it again, wait and see."

Under the emperor's seat, there are also people among the ministers who have a lot of complaints.

"Dong Zhuo is such a big shelf! Is it necessary? ”

"Be quiet, do you want to cut down all the doors?"

“”

Just when the ministers were whispering, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from far outside the hall.

When the ministers heard the voice, they all closed their mouths involuntarily and waited quietly.

Inside the hall, it was so quiet that a needle dropped on the ground seemed to be heard.

Wang Yun had already come, and he had also invited Ma Xiaoquan to come with him, ready to introduce Ma Xiaoquan to the little emperor, but Ma Xiaoquan rejected the treacherous and cunning Wang Yun cleanly on the grounds that he could not participate in the world's disputes.

Wang Yun couldn't help it, stepped forward, and said respectfully to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, listening to the sound of gongs and drums, it should be that Taishi Dong is here, and the old minister is here, I'll go out and have a look together." ”

As soon as Wang Yun's words fell, some ministers objected: "Today is the day when the emperor is recovering from a serious illness, how can you let the emperor go out to greet Dong Zhuo?" ”

Some people even took the opportunity to slander Wang Yun: "Wang Situ, are you afraid of Dong Zhuo?"

If these words had been heard by Wang Yun before, he would have been really angry, but now it is different.

Because Wang Yun is very confident, this confidence comes from himself and Lu Bu's perfect plan, and the second is Dong Zhuo's approval given to him by Lord Shangxian.

When Lord Shangxian came out, he told Wang Yun that Dong Zhuo would definitely not survive today, and Wang Yun somehow believed in Lord Shangxian's words.

"Come on, come closer, come closer"

Wang Yun muttered silently in his heart.

The little emperor didn't know Wang Yun and Lu Bu's plan, but what he thought in his heart was: Since Dong Zhuo forcibly helped himself to the throne, he has always been very vicious to himself, except for the matter of eating the elixir, Dong Zhuo even sat on his dragon chair and used the jade seal, but now the jade seal can't be found, does Dong Zhuo think about sitting on the dragon chair?

Although he is not very old, no matter what, the dragon chair can only be a place for the emperor to sit. Dong Zhuo is so blatant, if one day he really one day, will he still treat himself like he treated his brother at the beginning? (Liu Xie, King of Chen Liu, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was set up by Dong Zhuo after killing the previous little emperor) The more the little emperor thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he had no choice but to tremble and say to the ministers: "I think everyone should go out and have a look, it just so happens that I also have something to say to Father Shang." ”

When the ministers saw that the emperor had spoken, it was not easy to say anything, and they all gladly accepted the order, and walked out of the hall with their heads down.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, the dozen or so cronies and killers that Lu Bu had planted were already ready to go, as long as Dong Zhuo entered this gate, he would definitely not be able to get out today. Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, Dong Zhuo's carriage was getting closer and closer, and these dozen killers couldn't help but feel nervous.

Lu Bu has a fellow countryman named Li Su, who served as a cavalry lieutenant in the army, and has a close relationship with Lu Bu, and this assassination operation was mainly completed by him. When Lu Bu told him at that time, Li Su was also startled, but Li Su was not a stupid person, and Dong Zhuo's atrocities were indeed very unpopular, so Li Su agreed after thinking about it.

In order to complete the plan, Li Su also changed his clothes and became one of the dozen killers.

As Dong Zhuo's carriage got closer and closer, Li Su's heart couldn't help but raise his throat.

Li Su swallowed his saliva and stared at Dong Zhuo's carriage with his eyes.

On the carriage, Dong Zhuo sat horizontally, holding his fat flesh head high, looking incredible, Dong Zhuo's right hand also buttoned the crotch of his pants from time to time, which made people very disgusting.

Li Su frowned, lowered his head, and said softly: "Ready!" ”

More than a dozen killers were all trained, and although Li Su's voice was small, they could hear it clearly.

Outside the hall, the little emperor was recovering from a serious illness, although he had been recuperating for a month, but he had no choice but to have a thin foundation, so behind the little emperor, the little yellow door Shunde half-squatted and used his back as a cushion for the little emperor.

Among the ministers, headed by Wang Yun, they spread out from right to left in turn, and the closest to Wang Yun was Sikong, and then the ministers in charge of rites, officials, music, and workers (the Eastern Han Dynasty did not set up the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and other ministries, and the officials were generally recommended or promoted to filial piety, so there was no official position such as Shangshu) The ministers were lined up in a line, waiting for Dong Zhuo's arrival.
