Chapter Eighty-Eight: Visiting Luoyang

At this time, the city of Luoyang was busy rebuilding the order of the court, but there was a relaxed atmosphere in the military camp of Bingzhou on the edge of the city. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Bu and Gao Shun now only need to arrange for Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to take the sergeants into the city to help every day, and then there is no more affairs, Ding Yuan also runs to the city all day long, Dong Zhuo almost every day in the name of the Son of Heaven to announce Ding Yuan into the palace to exchange feelings.

Although it is based on the painful experience of the people of Luoyang, such days are really good for Lu Bu, there are no worries these days, and there is no need to worry about leading troops, and there is no combat task for him, which almost makes Lu Bu have a sense of leisure back to the grassland.

"Ah————h

It was another early morning, Lu Bu got up early in the morning, wrapped himself in cotton clothes and walked out of the tent, stretched out his waist to the empty barracks where only a few patrolling soldiers were left, walked to a tent next to him with satisfaction, and suddenly opened the door curtain, letting the cool breeze of Shuo Fang's early morning pour in fiercely.

"Hey, I'll go! Look for death! Gao Shun, who was sleeping beautifully wrapped in the quilt, jumped up suddenly, grabbed a helmet and threw it at Lu Bu.

……

It is already the deep winter of Luoyang, and after getting used to the falling temperature, the pedestrians on the street are not as hurried as before, and the already prosperous streets of Luoyang have gradually resumed the endless flow of people.

"You're sick, you're almost thirty years old, and you're still making trouble." Zhang Liao imitated Yan Qiao'er's tone, pointing at Lu Bu and Gao Shun, who had blue noses and swollen faces.

Gao Shun was anxious: "He lifted my tent first." ”

"It's not like you're up too late......"

"You!"

"What!"

Lu Bu and Gao Shun stared at each other face to face, and they were almost about to fight on the spot.

"Smack!"

Zhang Liao slapped the back of the two of them's heads.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun suddenly felt a huge force piercing the back of their heads, and there was an irresistible force that pushed the faces of the two of them together, Lu Bu watched Gao Shun's fleshy face get closer and closer to him, so close that even the thick pores on his face could be seen, Gao Shun watched Lu Bu's heroic face get closer and closer to him, and the mouth that had grown a short beard continued to enlarge in Gao Shun's eyes.

"Holy!"

"Holy!"

Lu Bu and Gao Shun hurriedly turned their heads and narrowly avoided each other's mouths.

……

In winter, people hang high in the sky, and people come and go on the bright streets, although you can still feel the cold in the air, but there is also a different kind of liveliness when people walk on the streets.

Lu Bu walked forward with two black panda eyes, and kept pointing to the luxurious courtyards in the west that were being rebuilt, asking Zhang Liao many questions.

Gao Shun had many bruises on the left and right sides of his face, and he couldn't stop pulling Zhang Liao to pay the bill for the street food he bought when he walked on the street.

At this time, Zhang Liao, who had two panda eyes and a lot of bruises at the same time, kept busy going back and forth, explaining to Lu Bu whose houses were burned down and being rebuilt in the distance, and kept taking out his money bag and handing it to Gao Shun, and at the same time taking a little bit of the purchased snacks from Gao Shun's hands.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and unconsciously came to the west of the city from the vendor area in the east of the city, and the gatehouse gradually disappeared, replaced by a more and more spacious gate and a deep mansion compound.

"This is where the powerful families in Luoyang City live?"

Lu Bu pointed to the long street in front of him and asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao looked at the block in front of him, although at this time there were black marks everywhere that had not recovered after being burned, and there was still a faint smell of charcoal after being roasted in the air, but it still couldn't hide the luxurious style of these buildings, and he nodded at Lu Bu: "That's right." ”

"Eh, then why haven't you come over to repair these houses for so long?" Gao Shun pointed to some mansions in the distance that had been repaired and were shining in the cold sun, "Aren't those places already repaired?" ”

Zhang Liao looked at the mansion in the distance, like a beast in the mountains and forests lying quietly in the center of this many magnates, the whole street is dominated by this house, although it covers an area is not the widest, the decoration is not the most luxurious, the style is not the most exquisite, but standing in the west of this Luoyang city, it is the uncrowned king majestic and solemn, even if it is the Han Palace in the distance, which is extremely luxurious and solemn, in this piece of land is not as good as this is not a big, not flashy, not refined ordinary courtyard.

Zhang Liao looked at the courtyard and said coldly: "The Ten Standing Servants didn't burn that house at all on the day of the Rebellion. ”

"Huh? That person must be living in that yard, right? Gao Shun said in surprise.

Lu Bu also looked in the direction that the two people said, looking at the deep courtyard in the distance, seeing the pretending low-key gatehouse, the courtyard with a decent structure, and the small river in the city that flowed, there was an inexplicable disgust and disgust in his heart for this place, a feeling of pure sixth sense, and there was a strong resistance to this courtyard for no reason.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I just got distracted and didn't hear it. ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Bu, still looking straight at the small courtyard on the horizon, and looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "The owner of that courtyard is Yuan Kui." ”

Yuan Kui, the atmosphere between the three people who mentioned this name suddenly became heavy, Yuan Kui has become the actual controller of this Han dynasty for a long time, even if he has become the third duke, when he sees Yuan Kui, he can only bow his head and shout at him Yuan Shi, and the only person who can fight against him has long been away from the court for many years, the figure who has been loyal to the Han family all his life, fought in the south and the north, and worked everywhere has grown old, and killed 200,000 Huns in the first war and made no one dare to invade the Central Plains. The Confucian master who still taught his literary ability and martial arts to the students of the world in the midst of illness, the body that seemed to be forever full of energy and never tired, finally resigned helplessly because of the decadence and self-indulgence of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and finally died because of the lack of clarity and the lack of virtuousness in the court, because after all kinds of persistence still could not change the corrupt pace of this world, this man finally got tired, left, gave up the persistence he once had, and came to a remote thatched hut to live in seclusion.

Since then, Yuan Kui's grasp of the court has almost become a state of domination, becoming the real backbone of the court officials headed by Yang Ci, and firmly controlling the entire Luoyang in the palm of his hand.

"In fact, after we searched, most of the places covered by the fire that night were some court officials who had not completely fallen to Yuan Kui." Zhang Liao continued to explain to Lu Bu and Gao Shun, "In other words, the fire that night was completely just an activity by Yuan Kui to eliminate dissidents. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter." Gao Shun waved his hand, "Anyway, he even wants to kill the emperor, and it is nothing to eliminate a dissident." ”

Lu Bu also nodded: "It's better to go on to say that those houses that have not been repaired, no one has repaired them until now, is it because their owners have been killed?" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's that their owner hasn't arrived yet." ”

Lu Bu and Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao questioningly.

Zhang Liao said: "These houses were originally intended by Yuan Kui to be distributed to his subordinates, but just after one night, they haven't accepted it, hehehehe, we came in, then it will not be their turn to take care of these houses." See? ”

Zhang Liao pointed to a fairly large courtyard in the distance: "That room was given to me by Dong Zhuo." ”

"Fuck, Xiliangjun is treated so well." Lu Bu and Gao Shun admired.

Gao Shun thought about his small courtyard in Jinyang City, and shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Liao smiled and continued to introduce: "As for those officials who were purged, some were indeed killed by the Yuan family, and there are still many people who escaped from Luoyang overnight, or returned home, or found a place to live in seclusion at random, such as Cai Yong, he took the whole family back to Chen Liu's hometown. ”

Lu Bu sighed: "These people are the last wave of loyal ministers of this Han family, right?" ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Part of it......"
