Chapter 197: Cai Yong wants to collect Dong Zhuo's corpse
There was silence in the secret room, not only Cai Yong and Shi A, but even Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian also fell into contemplation. How difficult it is to govern a country, or even a chaotic country, they have never tried. However, just when Dong Zhuo was working hard and diligently to govern a chaotic country, those big families were causing trouble for him under the banner of King Qin.
Facing the food and salary of the 400,000 army under his command, facing the coalition of princes outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and taking care of the livelihood of the people, Dong Zhuo's already unsmart brain has already squeezed out his brains. It is said that Dong Zhuo is lustful, isn't this him relieving pressure? A military general who wants to govern a chaotic country, if he has no pressure, wouldn't it be a joke!
"Let go of me!" In the silent secret room, a burst of screams like killing pigs suddenly erupted, only to hear Cai Yong struggling on the couch: "Dong Xiang is loyal to the country, I can't let him die violently, let alone let him die without a corpse, I want to collect his corpse!" ”
"Quiet!" Shi A hurriedly pinched Cai Yong's mouth to prevent the sound from coming out.
You must know that there are now chaotic soldiers in Chang'an City. In case the rebels find this place, Shi Anang will run away, and the others will be unlucky. Especially the three women, Empress Dowager He, Concubine Tang, and Princess Wannian. As for summoning the secret agents sent by Liu Zhang to help Shi A, it is even more fantastical to break through with the people in the secret room. Inside and outside Chang'an City, 400,000 soldiers are not eating dry food!
"Lord Cai, help my father-in-law collect the body, he will give away his surname, you better not go!" Li Ru was very moved, he really didn't expect that Cai Yong would still remember Dong Zhuo's goodness at this time!
"What's the point of dying?" Breaking free from Shi A's hand, Cai Yong said coldly: "Dong Cheng has the grace of knowing me, he treats me as a national soldier, how can I not collect his corpse!" It is to die for him, and I have no regrets in my heart! ”
"This..."Li Ru was silent, Empress Dowager He and the others didn't expect Cai Yong to be so strong.
"Stop dreaming! Before you arrive in Chengdu, I will never let you go! Shi Ah somewhat understood why Liu Zhang asked him to restrict Cai Yong. If Cai Yong really collects Dong Zhuo's body, how is it different from sending him to death? Restriction is protection as expected! However, Shi A was even more surprised that Liu Zhang actually calculated Cai Yong's thoughts.
"You..."Cai Yong said angrily: "If you don't let go of me, I will bite my tongue and kill myself!" ”
"Take a cloth and plug your mouth, I'll see what you bite!" Shi Ah pinched Cai Yong's mouth again, and was about to stuff the cloth in.
"Slow!" Cai Yong said angrily: "If you plug my mouth, I will die of hunger strike!" ”
Shi A said with a smile: "Pour you some gruel every day, and send you to Chengdu alive!" When the time comes, in front of your daughter, you can die as you like! The task given to me by the champion Hou is to send a few of you to Chengdu alive! ”
"You..."Cai Yong was speechless! If he can't die if he wants to, what else can he do?
Seeing this situation, Li Ru was very moved and said: "Lord Cai, you have this heart, I thank you for my father-in-law!" If you want to repay your father-in-law's kindness, you must not die, and all of you here had better not be hurt in the slightest! ”
"It's... Why is that? Cai Yong looked puzzled, but Empress Dowager He showed a knowing smile.
"Because..."Li Ru opened his mouth, he couldn't say that Liu Zhang kidnapped Dong Zhuo's family, if Cai Yong and them had any damage, Liu Zhang would probably take his anger out on Dong Zhuo's family.
"Let's mourn the family!" Seeing that Li Ru was a little embarrassed, Empress Dowager He said softly: "In order to save the mother and son of the mourning family, the champion Hou led his troops to raid Linzhao. Now, Dong Zhuo's family, including Mr. Li's family, are all guests in Yizhou! Otherwise, how could Dong Zhuo leave the mourning mother and son? ”
"Really? Prime Minister Dong Cheng's family is in Yizhou? Cai Yong's eyes were round, and he remembered that Dong Zhuo was the most filial. A long time ago, Dong Zhuo was ready to take his family to Chang'an, but he never acted. Cai Yong also asked, Dong Zhuo said that the old man was relocated and did not want to come far, and then Cai Yong never asked again.
In fact, there are many things happening in the court, and Cai Yong doesn't know about it. It's not that Dong Zhuo wants to hide it from him, but it won't help telling him. A few months before Dong Zhuo was dying, he moved to Meiwu again. Cai Yong is just a Langzhong and Dongguan Ling, and his main task is to write books. In terms of government and politics, no one told him, so he naturally didn't know.
"That's true!" Li Ru nodded and said, "Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise Dong Xiang's family would really not be left behind!" As soon as I escaped from the mansion, I saw a heavy army surrounding my mansion. Presumably Dong Min's mansion is the same, and Dong Xiang's mansion is unlikely to be spared! ”
"Alas! Dong Xiang is dedicated to the country, but he ended up like this, which is sad and lamentable! Cai Yong shook his head and sighed, but it made Empress Dowager He and the others a little stunned, in addition to knowing that Dong Zhuo was messing with the inner palace, they really didn't know how Dong Zhuo would serve the country. However, Empress Dowager He and the others are very smart, they will be mixed under Liu Zhang's command in the future, and there is no need to argue with Liu Zhang's father-in-law for a dead person. Even if Dong Zhuo really serves the country and the people, he is just a dead man!
With Cai Yong's silence, the secret room fell silent again. Except for the sound of breathing and heartbeat, no other sound can be heard. And Cai Yong secretly decided in his heart that even if Dong Zhuo's body could not be found, he would build a well-dressed tomb for him. Of course, Cai Yong didn't think about Dong Zhuo's death. He didn't want to let Dong Zhuo's whole family be buried because of a momentary mood.
At the same time, in Weiyang Palace, Wang Yun, who got rid of Dong Zhuo, regarded himself as a hero, and Lu Bu stood by his side quite majesticly. On the first dragon seat, sat Liu Xie, who was only ten years old.
"Qiqi Wang Situ, Li Ru and Dong Min's families have all been caught, but Dong Zhuo's family members have not been found!" was ordered to arrest the generals of Dong Zhuoyu's party, and after completing the task, he came to Weiyang Palace to hand over the order.
"Got it!" Wang Yun said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo's family is now in Yizhou, I will ask for a holy decree to let the champion Hou escort Dong Zhuo's family to Beijing!" ”
Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he whispered in Wang Yun's ear: "Uncle Wang, do you think you can mention Diao Chan in the holy decree?" ”
"Old man, just mention it!" Wang Yun glanced at Lu Bu with some contempt in his heart. If it weren't for Ding Yuan's letter, he wouldn't have agreed to Lu Bu!
"Then thank you, father-in-law!" Lu Bu immediately changed his words, and Wang Yun shook his head helplessly.
Lu Bu stood beside Wang Yun with a proud face, which made people annoyed to look at it, Wang Yun squeezed out a smile and said: "Fengxian, Dong Zhuo's wealth Meiwu, and the Meiwu guard is Hua Xiong, the general under Dong Zhuo." Now that Chang'an has been restored, it is short of money, do you see it..."
"Got it! I'm going to take down the eyebrow! Lu Bu clenched his fists and strode out of the palace.
"The courage of the horseman!" Looking at Lu Bu's back, Wang Yun cursed in his heart. Then he smiled at the ministers and said, "I wonder if there is anything else to do with you?" If it's all right, let's disperse! ”
Now that Wang Yun is powerful, and Lu Bu is helping, the ministers don't dare to say more. Just as Wang Yun was about to disperse the dynasty, a small yellow gate rushed into Weiyang Palace in a panic.
Liu Xie didn't speak, just looked at Wang Yun. Wang Yun frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”
Xiao Huangmen said in a panic: "Qiqi Wang Situ, the four Empress Dowagers in Yong'an Palace are gone!" ”
"Announce the world, Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong were killed by Dong Zhuoyu!" Wang Yun's face was calm, as if Xiao Huangmen was just talking about a cat or a dog.
None of the ministers refuted Wang Yun, but Liu Xie, who was sitting at the top, jumped his eyelids, revealing a cold light. It's just that Wang Yun turned his back to him, and all the ministers lowered their heads, so no one saw it.
"Your Majesty!" Another small yellow gate walked into Weiyang Palace, knelt on the ground and said: "Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao and Guo Yan have sent people to ask for surrender!" ”
Wang Yun didn't even look at Liu Xie, and said angrily: "Dong Zhuo is so rampant, thanks to the strength of these two people. Please drop? Dream! Forbid! ”
Seeing this situation, Liu Xie's heart was cold. In Liu Xie's view, Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo are no different. Even without Dong Zhuo, he is still a puppet. For the sake of his surname, Liu Xie decided to remain silent. In fact, whether it is Wang Yun or Dong Zhuo, they just have different political views, and Dong Zhuo's road is more difficult!
Speaking from the heart, what kind of national affairs can ten-year-old Liu Xie handle? Whoever is in power, he can only be a puppet! It's just that Liu Xie didn't realize that he was too young, because in his heart, the emperor should be in power regardless of age. Who knows, even his father, Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, was enduring it before Cao Jie died. It's a pity that Liu Xie doesn't have his father's surname.
Seeing that the government had been dealt with, Wang Yun announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and the ministers walked out of the palace one after another, while Liu Xie looked at Wang Yun's back, dazed, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Meiwu is only fifty miles away from Chang'an, and with Lu Bu's speed, it will be there in three hours. When the guard Hua Xiong saw Lu Bu outside Chen Bingbao, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Wen Hou, why are you here?" ”
"Dong Zhuo is dead! The court ordered me to conquer Meiwu! Lu Bu pointed at the halberd and said, "Hua Xiong, see that your martial arts are good, surrender!" ”
"The prime minister is dead?" Hua Xiong asked in surprise: "Who can kill the prime minister under your escort?" ”
Lu Bu said calmly: "I killed it!" ”
"What?" Hua Xiong asked: "The prime minister treats you well, why did you kill him?" ”
"What does it mean to be thin?" Lu Bu said angrily: "At the beginning, I killed Ding Jianyang and returned to Dong Zhuo, he did treat me well, but I also made a lot of meritorious contributions for him!" After the defeat of Tiger Prison Pass, is he still as close to me as he used to be? May I ask which of you didn't flirt with the maids and maids in Dong Zhuo's place? I'm the only one, just molested Dong Zhuo's maidservant, and he chased and killed me! Is this also called not thin? ”
"This..."Hua Xiong was stunned, he knew that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had a conflict, but he didn't expect that the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had deteriorated to the point of endless death!
Lu Bu waved his halberd and said: "Huaxiong, give you another chance, if you surrender now, I will ask the court to forgive you for your sins, if you don't surrender, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Hua Xiong hesitated: "Wen Hou, you saved my life in the Tiger Prison Pass, but now you have killed Prime Minister Dong Cheng, who is so kind to me, I really don't know what to do!" ”
