Chapter 213: Li Su Goodbye Wang Xiu

Not to mention that Su Chen expanded his armaments in Youzhou and practiced his internal skills, the Western Han Dynasty court in Chang'an ushered in a short period of tranquility. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Liu Xie entered the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo left Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Dong Yue and others to deploy defenses in Sanfu to block the Kwantung coalition army from continuing to advance westward.

At this time, the Kwantung coalition army had already begun to discuss the establishment of Liu Yu as emperor, and there was no time to pursue Dong Zhuo.

He built a fortress in the east of Chang'an City to live, and built a dock fort in Yixian County, which stored a large number of looted property, and had 30 years of grain reserves. ”

After Dong Zhuo arrived in Chang'an, he became more and more unscrupulous, and some staff members proposed that Dong Zhuo could be compared to Jiang Shang (Ziya), and could be called "Shang's father" in order to pat himself on the back. Dong Zhuo asked the hundred officials for advice, and the hundred officials persuaded Dong Zhuo that he needed to wait until the rebellion was put down and returned to Luoyang before they could discuss, and Dong Zhuo listened.

One day, Dong Zhuo was going to Yiwu, and the minister went to Chang'an City to see him off, Dong Zhuo set up a banquet to entertain everyone, but at the banquet, hundreds of rebel soldiers from Beidi County who were lured to surrender were tortured and killed, and the people at the banquet were so frightened that the spoons and chopsticks fell, but Dong Zhuo ate and ate freely.

If the subordinate generals offended Dong Zhuo with their words, they would be executed on the spot, and Dong Zhuo killed some old Guanzhong clans on the charge of rebellion.

Because most of the copper coins in Wanjintang were stolen out of the palace by Su Chen, Dong Zhuo lacked the use of silver coins after moving the capital to Chang'an, so he destroyed the five-baht coins circulating in the market, plus various copper products such as bronze people in Luoyang and Chang'an, and used them to mint small coins. This kind of small money is very rough to make, and there is not even an outline and text, and the people are reluctant to use it, which for a time led to the market disorder in Chang'an and Sanfu areas, and the price skyrocketed.

Dong Zhuo asked Sili Lieutenant Liu Huan to arrest those who were "unfilial to their sons, disloyal to their ministers, unclear officials, and disobedient to their younger brothers", and punished them all by death penalty and confiscation of all property, which led to a large number of unjust cases.

On June 23, the second year of Chuping (the second year of Zhongxing), an earthquake occurred in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo asked Wang Yun for response, Wang Yun took the opportunity to persuade Dong Zhuo to give up taking the Qinggai Jinhua car, Dong Zhuo obeyed, and changed it to a "soap cover car".

Dong Zhuo likes the waiter of the Cheshi Wang very much, and this waiter has broken the law many times, and was arrested and convicted and killed by Zhao Qian, the captain of the school, Dong Zhuo was very angry, but he has always been in awe of Zhao Qian, but arrested the official to kill and retaliate.

In October, Taishi Lingwang reported that a minister would soon be killed. Dong Zhuo was afraid that the prophecy would come true to him, and remembered that Zhang Wen, the guard commander, had a feud with him, so he instructed others to frame Zhang Wen for colluding with Yuan Shu, and arrested Zhang Wen in the market in Chang'an and whipped him alive.

Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior aroused the indignation of the old ministers loyal to the Han family, and sent Wu Fu, a Yue cavalry captain close to Dong Zhuo, to serve as an assassin in an attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

On the day of the assassination, Wu Fu hid a saber in his clothes to meet Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo did not doubt it and cordially received Wu Fu. After the meeting, Dong Zhuo also personally saw off Wu Fu, and in the pavilion, Dong Zhuo also put his arm around Wu Fu's shoulders, which was very intimate. Wu Fu suddenly drew his saber and stabbed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo reacted quickly, took a few steps back, and shouted to the surrounding guards to subdue Wu Fu.

Dong Zhuo scolded: "Do you want to rebel?!" ”

Wu Fu said loudly: "You are not my king, I am not your minister, why is it the other way around?" Thou hast usurped the lord of the country, the sin is great, and now is the day of my death, so I have come to punish the traitor's ear, and I hate to split you in the city to thank the world. "In other words, he was killed on the spot.

After Dong Zhuo was assassinated, he regarded his own safety as very important, and in addition to letting Lu Bu accompany him to escort him on weekdays, he also lived in Yi Wu, which was heavily guarded by the Xiliang Army.

Situ Wang Yun also had the intention to stab Dong, but Dong Zhuo couldn't come out of the turtle, and he didn't have a helper, so it was difficult to make the trip for a while.

Just when he was at a loss, Zhonglang found Li Su to Wang Yun.

Li Su followed Dong Zhuo because of Su Chen's recommendation when Dong Zhuo was still the general of the Huns, and for so many years, there was no merit and hard work, plus he persuaded Dong Zhuo to surrender Lu Bu, and he thought that he had made a great contribution.

But at the beginning of the battle of Bishui Pass, Hua Xiong was killed, Dong Zhuo implicated him, if it wasn't for Lu Bu's intercession, Li Su was only afraid that he would have died in Huangquan, so since then, he has become more and more dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he only trusted the Xiliang generals under his command, even if he was as strong as Lu Bu, he could only play the role of a guard, and Lu Bu suggested to Dong Zhuo many times to lead the troops to fight the Kwantung princes, but Dong Zhuo rejected them one by one, which shows that Dong Zhuo still has a lot of distrust for outsiders who are not from the Xiliang Army.

Li Su didn't regret it in his heart, thinking that if he was attached to Su Chen at the beginning, then he would at least be the county guard now, instead of living with a nominal Zhonglang general.

Li Su has long paid attention to these loyal ministers of the Han family, in his opinion, these people are his steps, after Wu Fu assassinated Dong, he was ordered to assist in the investigation, and found that there was Wang Yun's shadow behind this, he did not go to Dong Zhuo to invite credit, but secretly found Wang Yun.

Wang Yun was very surprised by Li Su's visit, but he still treated him politely, and after serving tea, he asked, "I don't know what General Li is visiting today?" ”

Li Su is also an old fox, he knows that if he confesses to him, Wang Yun will not only not believe it, but will suspect that he is a spy sent by Dong Zhuo, so he pretended to sigh and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Li is idle all day, has nothing to do, and his bones are going to mold, go to Wang Situ's mansion to ask for a glass of thin wine to drink, should Situ not be stingy with a glass of beautiful bar?" ”

"Of course not, General Li can visit, so that Wang is full of brilliance, come here, tell the kitchen, I will treat General Li well today."

"Then thank Situ first."

With the first time, there was a second time, and Li Su often went to Wang Yun's mansion to beg for wine and drink since then, and each time he expressed his dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction with the meritorious ministers.

And Wang Yun is very respectful to Dong Zhuo, often patting him on the back, Dong Zhuo did not doubt Wang Yun's loyalty to him, not to mention that Wang Yun is a child of the Taiyuan Wang family, a member of the family, and the object of Dong Zhuo's efforts.

After the end of the court on this day, Wang Yun said that he had a nephew from his hometown who came to visit him in Chang'an, and his nephew had also been in Jiuyuan, so he invited Li Su to the palace for a banquet.

Li Su didn't think much about it and happily went.

After coming to the palace, he was shocked to find that Wang Yun's nephew turned out to be an old acquaintance: "I didn't expect to meet Wang Xiugongzi in Chang'an today, I haven't seen you for many years, Wang Xiugongzi is unharmed?" ”
