Chapter 339: Dong Cheng's Plot to Earn Qin Xu (I)
Yuzhou, Xuchang!
Since the Son of Heaven came here, Xu County, which was not very conspicuous, was officially renamed and became the capital of the Han Dynasty.
The Son of Heaven has his own rules of the Son of Heaven, Xuchang since Cao Cao went to Chang'an to rescue the Son of Heaven, he began to build a large number of buildings, build palaces and palaces, everything is based on the old system of Luoyang, this move has won the recognition of Cao Cao by a considerable number of courtiers.
At this time, it was at the end of the year, and caught up with the Han Dynasty to get rid of the thief's hands, hoping that the future can be revival of the Han Dynasty and change the Yuan Xingping event, coupled with Cao Cao's appearance on the table to defeat the self-proclaimed emperor of the traitor Yuan Shu won a great victory, the three joys gathered, the already new Xuchang City, but also a little more Zheng Zheng to glory, Vientiane renewal atmosphere.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! This is the image of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty! Cao Qing played well! Collapse at the touch of a button, fleeing to the rivers and lakes...... Well played! The degree is also well mastered! It's time to deter the arrogance of this group of rebellious ministers and thieves who only know their family and don't know their country! In the Jianzhang Palace, the young son of heaven Liu Xie held the news of Cao Cao's victory on the table, and his face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and he said emotionally to Dong Lin, the daughter of the Dong family who was kneeling on the side.
"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has gone through hardships, tired muscles and bones, hungry and empty, and now I think about it, isn't it just in response to what Meng Sheng said, and the heavens will descend to Your Majesty? And this time, His Majesty has to get rid of the hands of thieves, and he is fortunate to be Xu Du, and the world will gradually stabilize in a few months, and the thieves will flee, and the four seas will be peaceful, which shows that His Majesty is really the lord of the Han Dynasty chosen by God! Looking at Liu Xie's dancing excitement, Dong Lin echoed with a coquettish smile. But when he heard the disgust for the Great Han Shi family revealed in Liu Xie's words, he secretly frowned slightly.
Dong Lin was born in a noble family. is the niece of the Empress Dowager Dong's relatives, and even Dong Zhuo can climb into relatives, although she is not very old. But it is also a family that has seen what is called a hundred years of national glory and a thousand years. In addition, since he was sent to Liu Xie by Dong Cheng, although he is nominally a noble person of the Son of Heaven, in fact, since Dong Lin saw that Liu Xie, who is the Son of Heaven, was first regarded as a plaything by Dong Zhuo, and then used as a puppet by the Xiliang soldiers, and even when the Xiliang soldiers were defeated and retreated, if it wasn't for his father Dong Cheng to come forward. I can't even take care of the so-called Son of Heaven honor guard, where is there still half a point of so-called prestige? And now, the world has been returned to Liu Xie's hands by "loyal ministers". And Liu Xie felt that his wings were stiff, and he wanted to be arbitrary more and more. I don't want to think about him as a half-haired child, leaving aside the identity of the Son of Heaven, if there is no help from these families. Where is the security we have today? In addition, Liu Xie has been suffering since childhood. Played by the ministers in the palm of the hand, the temperament is extremely weird, coupled with the young teeth, it is impossible to be a husband and wife, together for all these years, to say that there are still some feelings, after all, raising a kitten and a puppy will also give birth to a little love, but if it is not how deep. That's not easy to say.
"That's natural, there is Cao Qing guarding Xuchang as the center of the Han Dynasty. With the two Qing families of Lu and Qin sitting in Qingxu Erzhou as foreign aid, plus several of my imperial uncles guarding the Quartet, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is stable, and there is a little disease of scabies, but isn't it just for me to accumulate fame? Liu Xie felt good about himself, and picked up the share that Cao Cao attributed most of the credit to Liu Xie's recital, and watched it with relish.
"Your Majesty...... That's right! Dong Lin looked at Liu Xie's appearance, as if this big man had no available ministers except Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Qin Xu, who had a pair of hateful thief eyes. And Dong Lin can be regarded as having seen through the cold nature of His Majesty the Son of Heaven, to say that he led the troops to "contribute" the most, but Yuan Shao, who had already died, always talked about it before, and after knowing that he was Yuan Shu's half-brother, he never mentioned it again, and even sometimes he could vaguely hear Liu Xie's resentment towards the entire Yuan family, including Yuan Shao. It's so utilitarian! Dong Lin raised her willow eyebrows, which were as curved as a crescent moon, and secretly slandered the thirteen-year-old man who was only thirteen years old.
"Your Majesty! Che cavalry general uncle Dong Cheng begged to see! Just when Liu Xie was immersed in the dream that Cao Cao had created for him, breaking through the "strong enemy" and promising the Zhongxing Han, the inner attendant outside the Jianzhang Palace suddenly came to report and said. Dong Cheng's chariot cavalry general is different from the chariot cavalry general who was originally named Yuan Shao, although there is one word missing, but one is a martial arts lord, one is a professional official, one is above the three dukes, and one is higher than the three dukes. However, these two official positions are so similar, whether there is any deep meaning in them, but only Liu Xie, the son of heaven, knows.
"Yikes! Daddy is here! Come on, come in! "Speaking of which, although Dong Lin is now a nobleman of the Han Palace, to put it bluntly, she is just a little girl, and when she heard that Dong Cheng was visiting, she suddenly smiled a little, and she actually subconsciously opened her mouth to order, and did not notice a little anger flashing in the eyes of Liu Xie, who was fourteen years old.
"Dong Cheng, the old minister, the general of the chariot and cavalry, see Your Majesty and nobles!" The majesty of the Son of Heaven is like this, even if he is an old father-in-law, he must give his baby daughter and son-in-law a proper salute to his own name and surname, and official position. It is a felony to be unnamed without the approval of a special edict.
"Uncle Guo gave me a seat!" Liu Xie stood up very politely and stretched out his hand to help Dong Cheng. In the past few years of turbulence and exile, Liu Xie has not learned anything else, but this ability to watch people put dishes is full of self-realization, and now Dong Cheng has a high prestige among the hundred officials, and he is the identity of the uncle, and he needs his help in many things, Liu Xie naturally gave Dong Cheng enough face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo has been working hard recently, but he has rarely come to the palace to walk around, I miss it very much, Lin'er has also talked about the old man, and now I can see that the old man is in good health, and I am relieved!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister dares to die!" Liu Xie's actions and words fell in Dong Cheng's eyes, only to feel that Liu Xie was a humble and virtuous corporal, through the corner of his eyes when he got up, he saw his daughter Dong Lin sitting precariously, lowering her eyebrows, looking like a virtuous concubine, Dong Cheng's face also smiled more, and he gave a gift of gratitude, and said to Liu Xie straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here, there are three things to play Your Majesty." ”
"Boss, but it's okay to talk about it!" For Dong Cheng's low profile, Liu Xie was satisfied and nodded. The big lama sat down on the embroidered dragon brocade pier, and motioned for Dong Cheng to continue.
"One of them is the son of Yuan Feng, the former Sikong and the nephew of Taifu Yuan Huai. The general of the chariot cavalry, the younger brother of Yuan Shao, the marquis of Ye, and the later general Yuan Shu rebelled. Claiming to be the emperor in vain. This Yuan Shu was born in a famous family, but he didn't know the etiquette law, and it was rumored that he secretly hid the jade seal of the country, and he was called the emperor, called the Zhong family, and he was already ...... by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and others" Dong Cheng saw that Liu Xie was quite interested, and nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly raised his voice and said.
"Isn't the boss talking about Wuping Hou Cao Qing, Wen Hou Lu Qing, Wu Ting Hou Qin Qing and other rebel thieves Yuan Shu from Xia Pi to Huaisi?" Seeing that Dong Cheng opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was the legendary Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who was closest to the royal bloodline and was most likely to become the master of Weiyang after the emperor's blood heir was cut off. Liu Xiexian was a little disliked. The contradictory ideas and practices of attaching importance to clan relatives and beware of clan relatives were almost common to the emperors of the Han Dynasty. In fact, you can't blame Liu Xie for not being so unkind to see the Han family. Thinking about the Han Dynasty for 400 years, there are many branches of the Han family, almost as many as pigs and dogs. Liu Xie, who can be the Son of Heaven, was trapped in Dong Zhuo's hands. Except for the kind-hearted Liu Dai, a Han clan member who came to the rescue, almost none of the other Han clan relatives made a move. In Liu Xie's view, the degree of enthusiasm for the so-called loyalty to the monarch is far less than the degree of desire for their position. Therefore, seeing Dong Cheng opening his mouth like this, he first had a little resistance.
"What Your Majesty said is that Your Majesty has already gotten the news! It's the old minister who is troublesome! The reason why Dong Cheng was the first to say this news was actually something to consider, and Dong Cheng was robbed by Liu Xie in vain. Not annoyed, he stood up and bowed respectfully. Said with shame.
"The old man doesn't have to be like this, I didn't know it for a long time." Dong Cheng bowed like this, but Liu Xie lost his temper, and reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, and said to Dong Cheng: "The boss just said that there are three things, I don't know what the other two things are?" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace of not sinning, the old minister is very grateful!" Dong Cheng said programmatically, and said: "The second thing is also somewhat related to the first thing, that is, the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country, according to the captured Yuan Shu traitor's subordinate henchman Gong Cao, it seems that it was stolen by the eldest son of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, the grass people pottery merchant, and now the generals of all parties are doing their best to trace the whereabouts of this artifact for Your Majesty." ”
"It's a shame that they have a heart! It's just that I didn't think that the thief who dared to steal the artifact turned out to be Tao Qian's eldest son, it seems that this Tao Qian looks at others well, but after all, he is still lazy about the discipline of his own flesh and blood. However, since he is already a civilian, I remember Tao Gongzu's past merits, so I will not add the Yi clan! Liu Xie's still childish face flashed a few traces of murderous aura, and he really hated all the courtiers who were involved with the jade seal of the country, in Liu Xie's heart, it was these rebellious ministers who were not enough to swallow elephants that made the Han world fall to the point where it is today. Therefore, without asking too much, he directly sentenced the potter to death. "What about the third one?" It's a good thing I've never heard of, right? ”
"Ahem, Your Majesty, the third thing is from Qingzhou, and it is also related to the first two things!" Dong Cheng's face became more and more flat, and said: "The text says that after the former Beihai Taishou Kong Rong was promoted to Qingzhou Zhizhong, because he was dissatisfied with the Hussar General Special Entry Sima Qingzhou Mu Wen Hou Lu Bu's governance, he teamed up with Tao Ying, the second son of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and colluded with the former Xuzhou rebel general Zhang Min, the Yellow Turban Thief Yu Fang and others, intending to seek to capture Linzi in order to make trouble in Qingzhou again, but was hit by Lu Wenhou, who hurriedly returned from the Lujiang general, and was about to be escorted into Xuchang to hand over to the Son of Heaven when he was about to be escorted to Xuchang. Tao Ying was suddenly rescued by Wang Yue, the swordsmanship teacher of His Majesty, and the chief court swordsman, who was originally very much loved by the first emperor, and disappeared. And Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou, was driving to Xuchang with the guilty form of Na Lu Wenhou, as well as Zhang Min, Yu Fang, pottery merchants and thousands of thieves, to beg the Son of Heaven to fall. ”
"Humph! Rebellious ministers and thieves are punished for everyone! Hmm, are you saying that Master Wang Yue, my swordsmanship teacher when I was young, was also involved, and also rescued Kong Rong and Tao Ying? "The grievances between Dong Cheng and Lu Bu are not only the national hatred that he once helped Dong Zhuo, but also the family hatred that killed Dong Zhuo, which is complicated and tight, and because Qin Xu stole Dong Cheng's limelight before, Dong Cheng obviously felt that Liu Xie had diluted himself, although he did not dare to change the meaning of Lu Bu's expression this time, but because of the change in tone, it was the suspicion of Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was forced to be suspicious in front of him. After Liu Xie heard the news that Dong Cheng was secretly hiding private goods, he really frowned and asked, "What is this Kong Rong and Tao Ying...... No, Uncle Guo, you just said, who is the other person? Potter? Isn't it the eldest son of Tao Qian who was confessed by Yuan Shu to steal the jade seal of the country? ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Lao Chen may be really old and confused, he didn't even notice it, he really damned it! Dong Cheng bowed deeply, as if he was very ashamed.
"Please, sir, I don't blame you. Did you just say that this was Xuzhou Assassin Shi Qin Qing personally escorted these traitors? Liu Xie's face remained unchanged, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Yes! The old minister did say so. Dong Cheng still didn't look up, as if he was afraid of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but in fact, after listening to Liu Xie's tone, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.
"Hmm! I didn't expect that I and Qin Qing had parted for several months......" (to be continued......
