Chapter 34 Saving the Empress Dowager He

Let's say that after the young emperor Liu Wei was deposed, he was arranged by Dong Zhuo in Yong'an Palace, and the young emperor was accompanied by Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yong'an Palace is a remote palace located in the northeast corner of the North Palace of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and further north is the arsenal and Taicang, which is the imperial military warehouse and the grain warehouse that supplies the central imperial palace.

Dong Zhuo sent a team of men to guard Yong'an Palace, and put Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei under house arrest directly.

This made Jiang Feng a little anxious, without Dong Zhuo's instructions, no one could enter Yong'an Palace, which made Jiang Feng have no way to get the opportunity to contact the Young Emperor.

Jiang Feng didn't dare to take the risk of forcibly sending a message to the young emperor, the last time Lu Zhi's incident had already reminded him that he had to be cautious in doing things. Now that Lu Bu's subordinates are all Dong Zhuo's eyeliner, as long as he is a little lax, he may be killed by Dong Zhuo. When his life was at stake, although Jiang Feng was anxious in his heart, he still forced himself to be patient.

However, Gao Shan Liushui said that the young emperor Liu Wei is his most important political resource, and his actions must be in the name of the emperor. Now that I can't even see Liu Wei's face, how can I get my name? Isn't there a way to go on like this?

In addition, Jiang Feng did not go well with Wang Yun and Xun Yu two days ago, so he was even more irritable. Just when Jiang Feng was worried about this, there was a big event that made Jiang Feng even worse.

Dong Zhuo is planning to kill Empress Dowager He!

At Dong Xiangguo's mansion, Dong Zhuo's cronies gathered and were discussing the matter.

Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "He Jin's family has always looked down on a certain family, and today a certain family will let them know what will happen to me Dong Zhuo." I'm going to kill the He family. ”

He Jin and Dong Zhuo did have some festivals, when Dong Zhuo was appointed as the assassin of the state, He Jin reused Huangfu Song, wanted to deprive Dong Zhuo of his military power, and sent him to Liangzhou as a assassin, Dong Zhuo has always held a grudge against this.

Li Ru said: "The He family is not a big family, only because of the Empress Dowager He was able to ascend to heaven, He Jin is dead, and He Miao was also killed in the eunuch rebellion." Now the He family only has He Jin's mother Wu Yangjun and Empress Dowager He and the abolished emperor Liu Wei left. Wuyang Jun and Empress Dowager He are no longer valuable, and the lord can kill them to get rid of future troubles. However, Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, should not do it yet, after all, it is the blood of the royal family. ”

"Okay, then let's kill Wuyangjun and Empress Dowager He first, and as for that kid, let's wait and talk." With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhuo was about to order his subordinates to do it.

Jiang Feng was a little panicked now, to be honest, Jiang Feng really didn't expect Dong Zhuo to act so ruthlessly, and he would kill him if he said so.

Empress Dowager He may already be useless in the eyes of these people, but for Jiang Feng, this is an effective political resource. If he can keep the Empress Dowager He, his future actions will be more convincing.

In any case, they must not be allowed to kill Empress Dowager He, and her life must be saved, at least for a few months.

"Wait, my lord will listen to me first." Lu Bu shouted.

Dong Zhuo was a little surprised, Lu Bu had never intervened much in these matters, and asked, "What did Feng Xian say?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Feng didn't think of anything to say in a hurry, after all, the incident happened suddenly, and now he can only brainstorm quickly to see if he can think of a good excuse.

Seeing that everyone was focused on him, Jiang Feng was a little nervous, and his mind was thinking fiercely.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Feng's mind, and he said with a smile: "Lord, although the lord is now in the prime country and is an extremely popular minister, does the lord want to go further?" ”

Different people have different understandings of this further. The first thought of Li Ru and others was that Lu Bu was persuading Dong Zhuo to abolish the emperor and stand on his own. This is a big rebellion, it's just nonsense!

Li Ru immediately stopped: "Feng Xian must not talk nonsense, Xiangguo is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and it is his responsibility to destroy thieves and help the Han, how can he do rebellious things?" ”

Lu Bu smiled: "No, no, Brother Wen You is serious." Lu Mouke never said that he wanted the lord to be the emperor. ”

Dong Zhuo was a little interested, he didn't care about any big rebellion, of course it was good to be able to go further, and asked, "What does Feng Xian mean, let's talk about it carefully." ”

Lu Budao: "This Empress Dowager He is the empress of the first emperor, no matter who the current emperor is, the empress dowager is still the empress dowager." Moreover, Emperor Xian's biological mother Wang Meiren was mourned in her early years, and the Empress Dowager Dong also died, nominally the Empress Dowager He was also Emperor Xian's mother. ”

Dong Zhuo said nonchalantly: "So what? Can't I kill the Queen Mother? ”

Lu Budao: "What's the use of killing a Empress Dowager He?" She is just a powerless woman, with no real power and no threat, but the lord thinks about it again, if Empress Dowager He can marry Dong Xiangguo, what kind of scene will it be? ”

Get married!

As soon as this remark came out, it really shocked everyone. They didn't expect that Lu Bu would be so bold. unexpectedly asked Dong Zhuo to marry the current queen mother.

Li Ru said: "No, how can there be such a precedent from ancient times to the present, this move will definitely cause criticism from the government and the opposition." This is not in accordance with etiquette and etiquette. ”

"Wouldn't killing the Queen Mother cause criticism? In contrast, killing the Queen Mother is even more unethical. Does Wen You think that the killing of the Queen Mother can still be concealed? Lu Bu immediately retorted.

"However, this is not in line with the ancestral system, there has never been a reason for the queen mother to marry." Li Rudao.

"According to the ancestral system, Emperor Xian can't succeed to the throne at all, so how can Emperor Xian succeed to the throne now? We just want to tell the ministers of the DPRK and China that this ancestral system can be broken. Just because no one has done this before doesn't mean that no one will do it in the future. Xiangguo's achievements cover the society, how can it be comparable to the predecessors? While Lu Bu refuted again, he slapped Dong Zhuo's ass again.

Dong Zhuo was comfortable when he heard this. For Dong Zhuo, in fact, there is nothing that cannot be done, anyway, what to do is angry and resentful, the key is whether Dong Zhuo wants to do it or not.

And Lu Bu's proposal just hit Dong Zhuo's itch. Although he can't be the emperor, but if he marries the queen mother, won't he become the emperor's father? Wouldn't it be a double win for him to be able to let his grandson succeed him after a hundred years? This can be a good show that can steal beams and change pillars, Dong Zhuo is already tempted.

Like Li Ru, these people who are officials in the court may think this matter is extremely absurd. But for Dong Zhuo, a person who has been stationed at the border all the year round and fought against the Huns, this matter is not so absurd.

Because among the nomadic peoples in the north, there is such a tradition, there is a father who dies and a son takes in his stepmother, a brother who dies and a brother who dies takes his brother and sister-in-law, and the leader who dies and the next leader takes his widow, etc., and this system of receiving step-marriage is generally recognized.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such a thing also happened to the Han people. It's just that in the Han Dynasty, since the prevalence of Confucianism, the ethics were emphasized and the behavior of stepmarriage was suppressed. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were very few such things among the Han people, and such things could only happen in extremely poor peasant families.

"What Feng Xian said is reasonable, I think this matter is feasible." Dong Zhuo smiled lewdly, thinking that he could be the emperor's cheap father and sleep with the current queen mother, Dong Zhuo felt happy.

"No, this matter violates the etiquette program is often the way to create chaos, and it will definitely cause opposition from the government and the opposition." Li Ru still tried his best to dissuade him.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be annoyed, what he was most annoyed by was what Confucian principles others would tell him, and shouted at Li Ru: "What kind of etiquette system, I am Gangchang." ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was furious, Li Ru didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to retreat.

Dong Zhuo saw that he had no objection and asked, "Who can do this for me?" ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and generally this kind of thing should be done by Li Ru. It's just that this time Li Ru doesn't seem to be willing to bear this infamy, so he didn't accept it.

Jiang Feng was even happier when he saw that no one had taken over, if someone else wanted to do it, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to compete with others as a general. After all, this is a matter of media, which is not good to say.

But Jiang Feng didn't have this concern, not to mention that Jiang Feng still had other plans, so he hurriedly said: "Xiangguo, since I raised this matter, let me go for the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo was very happy and said: "Then leave this matter to Feng Xian to handle, it must be handled properly, and the ministers must not be left to their mouths." If there is anything you don't understand, you can discuss it with Li Ru. ”

Jiang Feng was happy in his heart, it seemed that his crooked reasoning and heresy had really had an effect, not only that, but it seemed that he still had the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, which was really killing two birds with one stone. That way, things are much easier.

"Bu must do his best to help Xiangguo do this." Jiang Feng took the order and left.

Dong Zhuo said: "You all learn from Fengxian, this is the loyal minister who does his best for a certain family." ”

After Lu Bu left, Li Ru said to Dong Min with a worried face: "General Zuo, what do you say Lu Bu has in mind?" Did he have another motive in doing so? ”

Dong Min patted Li Ru's shoulder and said, "I think Feng Xian's proposal is still good, Wen You don't have to be suspicious." Didn't you also say that Feng Xian had courage and no strategy, where would he have any intentions? ”

Li Ru didn't think so, and at first he also thought that Lu Bu was just a martial artist. But recently his views have changed somewhat. During these days, Lu Bu ran to the Bingzhou military camp from time to time, and also took wine and meat to work in the army. On weekdays, his actions have also changed from his usual flamboyant style, treating people with humility and courtesy, and often talking with the ministers of the court.

Recently, I often go to the minister's house to drink, although Lu Bu likes to drink and listen to music, but Li Ru feels that things are not simple. Lu Bu went to the homes of important ministers in the court, and most of them were old ministers of the Han family, so people had to wonder what he had discussed with these old ministers.

Where is Lu Bu's posture of a puppet, it is clearly a sign that he wants to seek chaos and profit.

However, now Dong Xiangguo treats Lu Bu as a parent, and Li Ru's words have gradually lost their weight, how can he not make Li Ru worried!
