Chapter Ninety-Eight: Wen Mingyuan Dong Zhuoxing Abolition (1)
After Ding Yuan and Lu Bu entered Wenming Garden together, they found that the hundred officials had already sat down in their seats, and the position of the head was vacant for Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo had not yet arrived, and the hundred officials were talking to each other at this time, and the garden was not quiet but not noisy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Ding Yuan looked at the hundreds of officials present, and found that they were all small characters, and the three major factions of Qingliu, relatives, and eunuchs in the DPRK and China are now only the Qingliu faction, but as a result, none of the leading figures came, let alone what representatives of the family that had been hidden behind would participate.
After looking around, seeing that the Yuan Kui he wanted to see did not appear, Ding Yuan lowered his head and walked to the top position, sitting motionless on the table as if an old monk was in a fixed position, sometimes a few small officials came forward to talk to Ding Yuan to probe his style, but Ding Yuan directly ignored it.
This approach is not Ding Yuan's style at all, people with a heart can easily find that his current mood is very abnormal, but no one will pay attention to it, the old generation who was once an official in the same dynasty as Ding Yuan is no longer in the court at this time, Xun Shuang left Luoyang and returned to Yingchuan, and issued a statement to the outside that he would retire to run a school, Cai Yong also hung the official seal and returned to his hometown, Taiwei Ma Rixuan was missing after the fire in Luoyang, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had already been framed by eunuchs and went to the wilderness, Wang Yun did not appear for some reason, Now there is no doubt that Ding Yuan is the oldest minister in the audience, not to mention that this person is the only person in Luoyang City today who has a heavy army except for Dong Zhuo, who would dare to raise any objections after being snubbed by such a person?
A group of idle officials, who were either in low official positions or had no real power, were whispering there, bowing their heads and discussing something, and they had all heard some rumors about tonight's events to a greater or lesser extent, and everyone had their own little calculations.
However, although most of the people present were some ordinary people, there were two young people sitting in the crowd with a kind of temperament that stood out from the crowd.
"Alas, Meng De, what do you say Dong Zhuo is doing when he suddenly gathers everyone together?" Yuan Shao quietly leaned to the side and leaned over to Cao Cao's side and whispered.
Cao Cao smiled: "After you kid broke away from Yuan Kui, you really hid in the official residence every day to read books, haven't you heard of this?" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he wanted to know even more: "What the hell is it, tell me quickly!" ”
"You'll know when the time comes." Cao Cao smiled silently.
All the buildings in the palace must be brilliant and extravagant, after entering the Wenming Garden, it is still a golden color, from time to time there will be palace maids who come forward to replenish food and tea and wine for the ministers, the guards stand in a fixed position around the hall to prevent anyone from breaking in, and there are Xiliang sergeants patrolling outside the courtyard, Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao who was directing the soldiers to maintain safety at a glance, and hurriedly said goodbye to Ding Yuan and walked towards Zhang Liao.
"I'll go, why did you get out!" Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu who was walking towards him with a nervous face and said, "Didn't this make Ding Yuan even more suspicious?" ”
Lu Bu said in surprise: "Hey, you already know about Ding Yuan's problem?" I thought I'd come over and tell you! ”
Zhang Liao shook his head: "Ding Yuan should have been included in the overall consideration, normal planners would do this, Ding Yuan was originally on the bar with Dong Zhuo at this time in history, how could I not consider it?" ”
"But it's okay if you're here, what is Ding Yuan's situation now, has he been co-opted by Yuan Kui?" Zhang Liao paused for a moment and continued.
"Hmm...... Probably not. Lu Bu thought for a moment, "At the beginning, Ding Yuan held a meeting with the generals of the state for tonight's matter, but he didn't call me and Gao Shun, I thought he should have been provoked by Yuan Kui, but now he agrees that I will be his escort to Wen Mingyuan, and I think that he will not be co-opted by anyone as far as his character is concerned, so Ding Yuan should have no problem here." ”
Zhang Liao immediately frowned when he heard this: "It shouldn't be!" Could it be that Yuan Kui didn't prepare anything? He was so calm that he let Dong Zhuo completely control the court? ”
Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Yuan Kui has other arrangements?" He may also make a stumbling block for Dong Zhuo in other places. ”
"No!" Zhang Liao said categorically, "The problem must lie with Ding Yuan, the only thing that can compete with Dong Zhuo now is Ding Yuan, and the other methods are all injured but not dead, and it is not worth Yuan Kui's action." ”
After speaking, Zhang Liao pressed his head painfully again: "But what is it, where did Yuan Kui bury this fatal point?" ”
"Do you know what Ding Yuan said at the meeting?" Zhang Liao raised his head and said to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu shook his head: "I don't know, Zhang Yang went, but there shouldn't be anything worth noting, otherwise he would have told me when he came back." ”
"Zhang Yang......" Zhang Liao sighed weakly, "Zhang Yang doesn't even know the cause and effect, how does he know which sentence Ding Yuan said will be related to this matter, and which sentence buries the truth." ”
“……”
"Well, forget it." Zhang Liao rubbed the hair on his forehead indiscriminately, "Anyway, I have already prepared a way to deal with Li Ru before, and when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to Tutun!" ”
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes." Then he asked, "What will I do in a while?" ”
Zhang Liao said: "You have to stop Ding Yuan." ”
"Me?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, "I can't speak to him now, and I can't go up to refute him in this scene!" ”
Zhang Liao waved his hand: "It's okay, when the time comes, you will help Dong Zhuo speak, after all, this time Dong Zhuo is acting on orders and taking advantage of the righteousness, you can pretend to be a loyal and courageous general, say something to uphold the emperor's will, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated or something, this is ancient times, no one will find it strange." ”
Lu Bu: "......"
"There's one more thing you have to remember." Zhang Liao's face suddenly became heavy.
Lu Bu was also a little nervous by his seriousness: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's the last insurance, the worst-case scenario I've thought of." Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu with a complicated face and said, "After a while, no matter what the situation develops, you must protect Ding Yuan thoroughly." ”
Lu Bu asked in surprise: "Why is this?" ”
"Because Ding Yuan can't die, at least not today, can't be here."
An unfamiliar voice came from the side, startling Lu Bu, who was bent on discussing with Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao glanced back at the visitor, and naturally put his hand on Lu Bu's arm to signal him not to be nervous, so as to prevent Lu Bu from suddenly striking someone down.
Li Ru walked into the two of them from the side, looked at Lu Bu's already clenched hand and continued: "Ding Yuan is the state pastor of the entire Bingzhou, and he has one of the most elite troops in the world of 300,000, such a force cannot be the mortal enemy of my lord in any case, maybe today we will be provoked by Yuan Kui and fight each other, but it is not irreconcilable, once Ding Yuan stays in Luoyang forever, then the goal of the 300,000 Bingzhou army will always stay in Luoyang, I don't know if General Fei can accept such an explanation?" ”
"You are Li Ru." Lu Bu sank his face and looked at the weak man in Confucian clothes in front of him.
Li Ru smiled: "Exactly, we have seen it in the Golden Horse Palace." ”
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and got a reply with a credible look, so he nodded and bowed his hand to Li Ru: "In that case, I'll go out and bring the halberd to you." ”
Li Ru bowed his head and said, "The general should go quickly, my lord is coming." ”
"Hmm."
Lu Bu quickly walked out of Wenmingyuan, found the fifty guards who stayed outside, took Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, warned them not to leave his troops and horses, and to respond at any time, and then turned around and entered Wenmingyuan.
After entering the main hall, Lu Bu saw a man in official uniform standing beside Ding Yuan and saying something to him, when he saw himself coming, he stopped talking and quietly retreated into the crowd, he thought that there was some kind of night to stammer Ding Yuan, without further observation, he took the Fang Tian painting halberd and stood behind Ding Yuan, standing with his head held high.
Not long after, a bell rang, and Dong Zhuo came.
