Chapter Seventy-Nine, The Son of Heaven Guards the Palace Gate (II)

Dong Cheng's speculation is also true, because these people in the emerging aristocratic families of Luoyang suddenly became embarrassed after Dong Zhuo left and Lu Bu became the ruler of Luoyang.

LΓΌ Bu has always adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation when he entered Luoyang, except for the inevitable abolition of some measures taken by Dong Zhuo when he was in power, he basically returned to the normal track, that is to say, what should have been done is still what it should be.

But the policy can be changed from time to time, and it only takes time to slowly eliminate its impact, but the people among them cannot, without Dong Zhuo as a backer, although a considerable part of the power has been accumulated before and has not been suppressed after Lu Bu's arrival, but those old families in Luoyang are so deep-rooted, and there is an intertwined network of human relationships between each other, just like a weed with tenacious vitality, Lu Bu's "spring breeze" blows, and it can even be said that it didn't blow much, and it revived, so naturally, Now these people who used to pluck the hair and drink the blood from those old families and the families behind them are not only in an embarrassing position, but also in a very dangerous situation.

The reason why Lu Bu has not intervened in the affairs of the Luoyang family is that this matter is really tricky, and Jia Xu and others can't think of a good solution for a while, if they follow Li Ru's design, they may eventually achieve their goal, but now Lu Bu is exactly when he needs the support of these old local families the most, how can he deliberately run against them?

In addition, in Lu Bu's heart, he also has the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the old and new families are absolutely incompatible, and there is no need for Lu Bu to do anything in it. If they can't coexist, they will inevitably decide a winner, although in the end it will definitely be the old families who win, but in the process there will definitely be some losses, and the strength will also be weakened, which will be much easier for Lu Bu to deal with at that time, as for what those new aristocratic families will think, and what losses will they suffer, this is not a problem that Lu Bu needs to consider.

And in fact, just as Lu Bu thought, although Lu Bu did not support or express anything, the old families in Luoyang are what old foxes. Straight to Lu Bu, this is the default. On the surface, he didn't actually do anything, but the action in the secret was constant, and in the past few months, in fact, he only used most of the time. It has almost completed the return of the original number that was pierced into them like nails by the new families. After that, he chased and beat a new-school family like a water dog.

However, it is the so-called 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river. This time, Ma Chao and Li Ru's men and horses attacked Luoyang, and the old families were reluctant to get involved with them because of their reputation, especially because of Li Ru, the former rival. single-handedly manipulated the characters who suppressed them, and had no idea to concoct them, they were already considering the interests of the family, and felt that it was the best choice to watch from the sidelines; And on the contrary to them, it is natural that the new-school families who are on the verge of a desperate situation, all of them seem to see their own opportunities, although there are also many rational choices to watch and not participate, but more people are forced to be red by the suppression of the old families for months, plus this time Xu Rong also came, Li Ru behind him was their big backer at the beginning, this can be regarded as the return of the backer, where will they think so much, just now is a great opportunity, they have participated in Xu Rong and their team.

To put it bluntly, this time Pang De led the army to be able to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang City quickly, relying on the Xiliang army led by Xu Rong that had taken root in Luoyang and almost regarded this place as a second hometown, but many of these soldiers and the people of Luoyang also have incense love, but because Li Ru is now in the face of Ma Chao's cooperation, he can only clear himself but can't care about what Ma Chao and these soldiers do, but there is definitely no place to help. So in fact, these new-school families have played a big role, since Xu Rong's side doesn't seem to treat them very well, they can't just go back, they simply switch to Pang De's hands, become their guideposts, and sometimes even act as executioners in person, especially in the suppression and sweep of those old family nobles, they spare no effort, as if they can't wait to call their own family nurses.

And that's it, in the end, these are all unseemly means, and if it was just a conflict of interests before, just to not completely force them to a dead end, those old families will leave a little room for them to survive, so they have been secretly tinkering with these words that no one knows, and they can't say that everyone will be able to get along with each other when Lu Bu returns to Luoyang Taiping, but now they can't wait to run to these family officials from the emperor's line who can be said to have suppressed them the most ruthlessly. Such as Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other national zhangs are impressively listed.

Then they probably also knew that this time they were afraid that they were really going to offend the other party ruthlessly, since this was the case, they would simply offend to death, and on the other hand, they did not take advantage of this to show favor to the "new masters" such as Pang De and Ma Chao behind him, as for whether they could understand or accept them, they couldn't consider it.

So at this moment, the words they said, that is, as vicious as they wanted, Dong Cheng was born in a big family, and his cultural attainment was extremely high, so he was naturally angry by these vulgar words, and he almost didn't turn his back on it all of a sudden, and then he eased up, perhaps considering that this would only make the other party more proud, he adjusted his mood while rushing at the officials from the new-school family who were full of smugness on the side, and the cold glint in his eyes seemed to rush up one by one, and he took the opportunity to bite the people on their side, and said coldly: " It's just some unsavory minions, and they dare to shout there, not afraid of flashing the root of their tongues? ”

Dong Cheng choked a group of people who were thieves with a weak heart, and after reacting for a long time, he was shouting and just getting more energetic, as if he had not been scolded by Dong Cheng just now, but was half cheered up.

Dong Cheng looked disdainful, raised his head slightly and shouted at the endless void behind this row of people: "With you, you are not qualified to say these words, could it be that the remnants of Ma Shoucheng will only hide their heads and leak their tails and dare not see the light?" ”

Dong Cheng's words have come to this. Pound didn't come out and couldn't do it, not only did he lose the face of the general and the young general, but also swept away his own prestige, he walked up to the officials of the new family who groveled at eight feet, and didn't even look at them.

Like Dong Cheng, he was also very disdainful of these people, and the reason why he kept them was just to be useful, but now it seems that this is also a bunch of waste, so that people can take them to the back, so as not to start a war later and interfere with his own Erlangmen Chongfeng. He turned his head to face Dong Cheng, who was only more than twenty steps away. Seeing that this straightforward official had a good impression, he smiled and said: "A certain family is here, don't be surprised by those words, but this time I came on the orders of the young general." It was just for the treacherous thief and the wolf-hearted Yan Xing. To the Son of Heaven and the ministers. I still respect it, as long as everyone cooperates a little, it won't be difficult in the slightest......"

Pound wasn't done yet. Dong Cheng had already broken it with a wave of his hand, seeing Pang De smiling, his face had not shown the slightest dissatisfaction, Dong Cheng couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, it seemed that this person was not easy to deal with, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little unkind: "This general, is this a threat?" ”

Pound's expression was indifferent, not changing at all, "How to understand, Your Excellency should have your own opinions, and you don't need to say much about me." But I might as well say that if you only care about the interests of your tongue, I am afraid that the consequences will not be imagined by either side. ”

Dong Cheng smiled coldly, and was about to say something, when a loud shout came from behind him: "What a big dog guts, in front of this strict palace, you dare to say such wild words, do you really think that the Han family court is dead?" ”

Although the tone was very stiff and a little weird, Dong Cheng could hear it at once, this was the voice of the little emperor Liu Xie.

He couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, he saw the young Son of Heaven in a dragon robe, his face was as white as gold paper, but his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, showing people's stubbornness and persistence, and then he looked at his hands hanging in the sleeves and only revealing a small half of the outline clenched into fists, clutching the green tendons to expose, and there was a wordless anger revealed.

Dong Cheng looked at this and didn't feel a little panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward in two steps, supporting the emperor's thin and weak body with one hand, and leading forward with the other, and said on the other hand: "Your Majesty didn't send anyone to report it, and suddenly came." It made the old minister very frightened. ”

Liu Xie's face was haggard, but his eyes were shining and reflective, and he said in a completely different tone from the past few days: "Let the national master suffer, is it me." ”

Dong Cheng couldn't help but be moved, feeling that at that moment, it was as if the Liu Xie he knew and expected had completely returned.

However, when Liu Xie turned his face and faced the sturdy and rough General Pound, his eyes were cold and cold, and his tone had a strange calmness: "There is time to say the words of the guilty, but before that, we still need to sort out some people and things." ”

Pang De couldn't help frowning when he saw the sudden appearance of this young man, he didn't care about the other party itself, but with his eyes, it was naturally easy to see that the soldiers of the Yulin Army team who had formed a formation next to Dong Cheng that he had looked down on before had nervousness and apprehension in the face of the unknown, even if the actual strength of such an unconfident team was strong and the combat power that could be exerted in the battle was limited, it would definitely not be able to compare with these fierce men behind him; But after the appearance of the little emperor, the eyes of many soldiers on the opposite side gradually turned from blank to calm, and the uneasy feelings were slowly suppressed.

Compared with Dong Cheng just now, Pang De was even more reluctant to face the emperor, even if it was just a little emperor, not only the soldiers on the other side were affected, but some of the soldiers around him were also affected, but on the contrary, they were negatively affected, and their morale dropped by two or three points at once in a weird way that Pang De couldn't even imagine.

I have to say that in this thought, the name of the emperor and the Ninety-Five Emperor is still very good, it is easy to make people on one side have a sense of belonging, and people on the other side have a floating in their hearts, this is the ideological product of hundreds of years of imperial power system, even if Pound himself has not been shaken in his heart for a moment?

In a very short period of time, Pound made the final decision, he had to make a strong move, otherwise he didn't know how it would develop later.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and waved his hand according to the order that had been set a long time ago, and the soldiers who received the order immediately seemed to be driven by instinct, the first row, the second row...... Rows of neat rows rushed forward in great strides side by side.

The distance of more than twenty steps seemed to be almost finished in just a few breaths, and looking at the gradually clear face of the enemy in front of him and the gradually enlarged figure, Liu Xie, who saw this scene for the second time in his life, breathed a lot heavier in an instant, which made Dong Cheng beside him calm down, and then raised his hand extremely calmly, and then let it go again......
