Chapter 63: The Palace's Secret Meeting (1)
After Li Ru heard the news, he also hurried over to extinguish the fire, and said something bad to Dong Zhuohao, finally calming down his emotions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The thing about Dong Zhuo's atmosphere is nothing more than that Cao Cao not only still occupies Yanzhou, but also has not fallen out with Yuan Shao after arriving in Jizhou, which makes him very angry.
However, Li Ru explained, saying that the two only seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there must be-for-tat in secret, Yuan Shao's sphere of influence in Hejian City, Cao Cao came with the army, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao not to feel guilty, but both of them have seen through their own schemes, so they put on a harmonious appearance to the outside world, wanting to confuse everyone.
Dong Zhuo was angry with Nanping, and ordered Li Dao to send troops to the east with an army of 30,000 to plunder the territory of the Kwantung princes.
Li Ru sighed, it is easy to kill people, but it is only difficult to win the hearts of the people in the world, he faintly feels that although staying by Dong Zhuo's side can ensure temporary peace, but it is not a long-term solution, the prime minister He only cares about pleasure and completely ignores the feelings of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers and even today's sons, and is very rude to them, which has caused great disgust among the world's scholars.
At this time, the civil and military officials above the court have recovered from the initial panic and anxiety of Luoyang when they arrived in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo has been living in Yiwu City for a period of time, which makes the wind in Chang'an City a little relaxed, although the control and monitoring of the Xiliang Army is still very strict, but the private activity space of everyone has been expanded.
Yiwu is Dong Zhuo in 250 miles away from Chang'an City, dispatched 250,000 people to build, its thickness of the city wall can be comparable to the two Han capital Chang'an City, the thickness of the city, Yiwu City also specially built a palace, selected 800 beautiful girls to place in it, which is equivalent to Dong Zhuo's harem. In addition, the warehouse of Haowu is stocked with enough grain to last for 20 years, and there are countless other gold, jade, colored silk, and pearls.
Every time Dong Zhuo returned to Yiwu, the ministers of the court greeted him until Hengmen. The history book "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty - The Biography of Dong Zhuo" also records that Yiwu is known as "Long Live Wu", which is also appropriate, in Yiwu, only Dong Zhuo has no emperor.
And because Yiwu is also far away from Chang'an, the road of two hundred and fifty miles also needs two or three hours in later generations, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, even if there is a relaxation road similar to Qin Zhidao between the two places, because the means of transportation are only carriages, so from Yiwu to Chang'an, a trip takes at least five hours, Gao Xixi's new Three Kingdoms has a bridge section, saying that Dong Zhuo set off from Yiwu and rushed to Chang'an to go to the early dynasty, which is completely that······
Among the ministers of the imperial court, Wang Yun of Situ and Shangshuling is undoubtedly the most powerful person, but his power is not worth anything in Dong Zhuo's eyes, as long as Dong Zhuo is unhappy, he still wants to kill him, and he doesn't need a reason at all.
In the past, when he was in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo may still have a little awe of the court and the emperor, but after he took everyone to Chang'an, he became unscrupulous, what concubines who sleep in the palace, ride horses and swords to the palace, and the court does not need to visit the emperor, not only does not worship, but the emperor also has to salute him, because he is the middle father of Emperor Han Xian.
In addition, the matter of a person attaining the Tao chicken dog ascending to heaven is also applicable to Dong Zhuo, after he was added to the official position, he also used the privileges in his hands to wantonly crown the members of the Dong family. He first named his mother Chiyang Jun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, and his status was equal to that of a royal princess. At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as the general of the left, named the Marquis of Yan, and also named his young granddaughter as the prince of Yang······
Seeing that the court was corrupted and the imperial power was falling, Wang Yun and his ministers were very sad and anxious.
On this day, while Dong Zhuo was not in Beijing, Wang Yun secretly entertained guests in the mansion.
Wang Yun was the monk of the dynasty, although Dong Zhuo did not want to see him, but he still arranged a set of not small houses for him, although this house is not as good as his Luoyang hometown, but it is also very luxurious among many ministers.
And today, because of the special identity of the guests at the banquet, the palace is very solemn up and down, but in order to avoid being discovered by the spies of the Xiliang Army, some activities are held in secret, which is relatively low-key.
Wang Yun is over fifty years old this year, and the ancients know the mandate of heaven in their fifties, and he is already in his fifties, but he still doesn't know what the mandate of heaven will be.
Just after midnight, two sedan chairs quietly appeared at the back door of the palace, from the appearance, these two sedan chairs were used by the ladies inside the palace, so the Xiliang army stationed outside did not open the inspection, and even did not suspect it.
However, as soon as the two sedan chairs landed, two middle-aged Confucian scholars with Eguanbo came out, Wang Yun's eldest son, Wang Chen, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two coming, he immediately greeted them, bowed respectfully to the two, and said:
"Uncle Cai, Uncle Lu, wronged the two of them to take such a sedan chair, the Wang family really can't go! Please don't be surprised by the two uncles! ”
The two waved their hands, disappreciative, Wang Chen continued: "My father has been waiting in the hall for a long time, two uncles, please come with me!" ”
After saying that, he made a "please" gesture.
These two people are the great Confucian of the time, one is the world-famous writer and calligrapher Cai Yong, and the other is Lu Zhi, the chief disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong of the previous dynasty.
Among the two, Cai Yong was also an official of the imperial court at this time, and Lu Zhi was almost executed in court because he offended Dong Zhuo because of his earlier remarks.
The two came to Wang Yun's mansion today, but they were invited by Wang Yun, at this time, the Xiliang army had been stationed in Chang'an City for a long time, and their precautions were a little lax, which gave Wang Yun such an opportunity.
As early as Luoyang, Wang Yun convened the ministers in his own home to discuss how to deal with Dong Zhuo and rescue the young emperor, but a group of people could not come up with a good idea, but the unpopular Cao Cao proposed a plan to assassinate Dong, as a result, Cao Cao's assassination failed, Dong Zhuo was furious, not only killed the young emperor, but also ordered many ministers involved at this time to be executed, although in the end did not directly find out to Wang Yun's head, Wang Yun saved his life, but Dong Zhuo has since forbidden the ministers to visit each other in private, Then they have no way to plan.
