I couldn't help but hurry forward to catch up with Dong Zhuo and said, "Dong Sikong, wait a minute!" ”

But seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't wait for me to speak, he said: "Oh, Cheng Lian, your method won't work; None of the ministers are willing to approve, and the old man is really lonely! ”

I smiled and said, "What's the matter, isn't your style of doing things quite bold on weekdays, why is it wilting today?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Oh, it's not that the old man is timid and afraid, it's really that the abolition of the emperor is not something ordinary people can do, and the old man really doesn't have the courage of Huo Guang." ”

I couldn't help but say: "The deposition of the emperor is an offensive to the anger of the people, and this is all due to the fact that the idea of "loyal to the king" has been deeply ingrained among the scholars, and there will definitely be some resistance; But don't worry, as long as you coerce your subordinates into submission by force, things will definitely work out; What we have to do is to reorganize the dynasty and give the people of the world an equal and free life, and abolishing the old emperor and rebuilding the new system is a process that must be experienced, no matter how big the difficulties ahead, it must also be completed; It's all up to you. ”

At this time, Feng Xian on the side also said: "Well, what the virtuous brother said is extremely true; Sikong, for today's plan, can only act with the power of a king; Whether it can be achieved or not, restructuring is already an imminent matter. ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but groan, and then said: "That's it, the big deal is to give up a life; It's just that everyone else is okay to say that Lu Zhi's old guy is a little thorny, and he has to send someone to solve him first. ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I'll just go and persuade him to leave." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but say: "He has always been loyal and upright, I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade, right?" ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Well, okay then; Since this old guy refuses to be attached, let him stay away, so as to save him a set of useless all day long, which makes people feel annoyed; After lunch, the old man will gather the ministers again, and this time he must get things done! ”

At this time, Feng Xian suddenly said: "Sikong, according to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to go to Mrs. Yuan to ventilate first, if you can convince Mrs. Yuan, the matter will be easily done." ”

I couldn't help nodding my head and saying, "Yes, my brother reminded me of this; Yuan Taifu is now the pillar of the court, and almost all the party members are willing to listen to him, and if they can get his support, things can be done easily. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, the old man will set up a banquet and send someone to invite him over to discuss." ”

I also said, "Remember, we must be open and honest with Mrs. Yuan about the purpose of doing this, only by being honest with each other, can the chances of success be greater." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Well, the old man understands." ”

After that, I went to visit Lu Zhi again. When Lu Zhi heard that I was coming, he was quite happy, and said, "Oh, nephew, you finally came to visit the old man, and the old man thought that you would forget about me as a bad old man when you were developed." ”

I smiled and said, "How can I come to see you when I have time, and by the way, I brought you some snacks that I made." ”

Lu Zhi couldn't help but look moved when he heard this, but said: "Oh, the old body has heard that now the Empress Dowager He's diet is fully in charge of you, and even the Son of Heaven is shouting that you have to eat the food you cook, it seems that your cooking skills are indeed not simple!" ”

I couldn't help but say, "Well, it's okay, I can cook most of the more than 300 dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets, except for dishes like monkey brains and bear's paws." ”

"Well, there are more than 300 dishes!" Lu Zhi was shocked when he heard this. Immediately, he said a little strangely: "Huh? What kind of feast is the Manchu and Han banquets, how come the old body has never heard of it? ”

I couldn't help but smile and said: "The Manchu and Han banquets are a kind of feast in my hometown, which is divided into six banquets - the banquet of relatives, the banquet of courtiers, the banquet of longevity, the banquet of Qiansuo, the banquet of nine whites, and the feast banquet; These six banquets have 196 items of cold meat and hot dishes, 124 items of dim sum and tea, a total of 320 items; Whether it is flying in the sky, running underground or swimming in the water, all kinds of birds and animals, mountains and seas are everything; Of course, in addition to these six feasts, I will also cook all kinds of home-cooked side dishes and barbecue flavors in the eight major cuisines, so I can actually do far more than 300 dishes; If you only eat one dish a day, I'll cook enough for you to eat in a year. ”

After listening to my explanation, Lu Zhi was suddenly dumbfounded.

I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, surprised, isn't it?" ”

He hurriedly came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva immediately, and said, "I heard that the old body was a little greedy; When do you have free time to make a few dishes for the old body, so as to relieve the cravings in the old body's stomach? ”

I smiled and said, "If you have a chance in the future, I came today to find you with something important." ”

He couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

I said, "I'm here to advise you to leave with your family overnight, the capital is no longer safe for you and your family." ”

Lu Zhi couldn't help but look moved, but asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I said: "Dong Zhuo's decision to abolish the emperor is that the overall situation has been decided; Ever since Emperor Ling opened a place for public sales of officials in the West Garden, the country has reached the point of withering roots; Of course, Emperor Ling would do such a thing as selling officials, but he can't be completely blamed, he just wants to use this quick way to make up for the financial deficit caused by Emperor Huan's reign; And now it has come to the time when it has to change, otherwise a rebellion similar to Zhang Jiao's will be destined to happen incessantly in the future, and the fall of the Han Dynasty will be close at hand; If you insist on obstructing the abolition of the establishment, uncle, Dong Zhuo will definitely not let you and your family go, are you really willing to involve the lives of your family for that senseless foolish loyalty? ”

"Alas!" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh deeply, but said, "How can the old body not understand the truths you said; It's just that the old body is a courtier of the Han family, how can he watch Dong Zhuo make such a big rebellious act, and how can such an old body become a rebellious minister? ”

I smiled and said, "Just because you're a rebel doesn't mean you're a wicked person; I know that you don't want to bear the infamy of a traitor, so I came to persuade you to leave the capital with your family; Since it is difficult to choose between loyalty and righteousness, it is only possible to choose to be alone. ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhi groaned, then sighed and nodded, "Alas, this is the only way to do it now." ”

In other words, Lu Zhi is also a person who can distinguish between right and wrong, but he, like most people, lacks the courage to break through the obstacles of the world. Speaking of which, there are still a few people in this world who can have this kind of courage.

said that Dong Zhuo set up a banquet and sent someone to invite Yuan Kui to the banquet, but Yuan Kui did not refuse, but readily agreed.

After Yuan Kui came, Dong Zhuo showed a very respectful look for him, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I never thought that Taifu would be willing to come to the banquet with a face, which really flattered Zhuo!" ”

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "It's too commonplace. ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but say: "I'm a straight person, and I'm not good at polite words; Since Tai Fu deigned to come, then I have something to say. ”

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "You don't have to say it anymore, the old body understands what you mean." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be a little surprised, but said, "What do you mean?" ”

Yuan Kui replied: "The old body has no opinion on the abolition of the establishment. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately said happily: "Haha, this is really good, Zhuo is really happy to get the support of Taifu!" Come, Mrs. Zhuo Jing. ”

Yuan Kui couldn't help but say: "Oh, Dong Sikong, please forgive me, the old body has been feeling a little unwell recently, and it is inconvenient to drink, so please let me replace the wine with tea." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "It's okay, it's the same with tea instead of wine." ”

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ask again: "By the way, Taifu, the abolition of the establishment is suspected of conspiracy, why did you agree so readily?" ”

Yuan Kui smiled and said, "As Sikong said, the lord of the world should be a wise person; The young emperor is greedy and happy, and has no enterprising heart, so he is not as good as King Chen Liu; Although he is still young, there is no great harm, but it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will be as mediocre as the king of Changyi; What's more, when the first emperor was alive, he always wanted to set up King Chen as the prince, which just fulfilled the last wish of the first emperor. ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, what Taifu said is extremely true. ”

At this moment, everything has been negotiated, and everything is waiting for the final step.
