Chapter 235: Lu Zhi is assassinated
"Because he made some mistakes, he was demoted to a military marquis." Liu Ze didn't say anything about his tenure in Pingyuan, and made it up.
Dong Zhuo's face was suddenly full of arrogance. "You must have been implicated by the old man Huangfu, and the official said that you would not have any future under Huangfu Song. How about it, it's better to throw yourself into my Xiliang Army, and this official will ensure that you will be a partial general. ”
"Xie Dong stabbed Shi to carry it, but although the military marquis is small, he also has a responsibility, dare to abandon it, and the stabbing history loves him, and he will report it in the future." Liu Ze is neither humble nor arrogant.
Dong Zhuo's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how to lift!" He didn't pay attention to Liu Ze anymore, turned around, and escorted the Son of Heaven's car surrounded by a large group of guards, looking at Luoyang.
Liu Ze watched the smoke and dust go away, and suddenly had a feeling of laughter, although this trip to Luoyang did not change the trajectory of history, but he really reaped a lot of benefits, and snatched what Dong Zhuo should have fished. The most ridiculous thing is that Dong Zhuo actually has the intention to recruit himself, Liu Ze is very curious, if he is invested in Dong Zhuo's account, he doesn't know how much impact it will have on history?
Liu Ze smiled, threw away this ridiculous idea, and ordered someone to pack up and go on the road.
After meeting with Jian Yong on the outskirts of the city, Liu Ze led his team back to the plain non-stop. Although the power of relatives and eunuchs disappeared in the Luoyang Incident, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing will bring a terrible disaster to the Han court, and Luoyang will also become the whirlpool of this disaster, Luoyang is no longer the capital of good but has become an eventful place.
As soon as he returned to the plain, Jian Yong met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. Don't get close. Only Zhang Fei pursed his lips and complained that Liu Ze didn't take him to Beijing, and let him miss such a good show in vain.
In addition to Xuzhou, the Qianzhuang branches in each state were withdrawn, and the branches of the Yangwei Dart Bureau were also cancelled accordingly, and the dart heads Fang Yue, Mu Shun, and Yu Zhou Cang were appointed by Liu Ze as the military marquis of the county soldiers, each with a song of soldiers and horses. Changing from the identity of a dart master to the identity of an officer is not only a novelty, but also a joy, after all, they are all from the grassroots. can get an official and a half-position in the army. I am really lucky, and I am even more grateful to Liu Ze.
The gold-lettered signboard of Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang was hung up in Pingyuan City, and after the branches of various places were closed one after another, they were posted inside and outside the store. The Remittance Cash Ticket is valid forever. If you want to handle foreign exchange business, you can go to Qingzhou Plain City to handle it. One qiē fee is waived.
After the branches were closed, most of the information fed back by Jinyingwei was that many ticket-holding customers gathered at the door of the bank, some were pessimistic and desperate, some were crying, and some were resentful and scolding. Many people who were out of control rushed into the money bank to smash and rob it. Liu Ze deeply understands this, many people's net worth turned into a piece of waste paper overnight, and how to keep them calm. Although the head office can be moved to the plains to handle the exchange as usual, but in the troubled times, bandits are rampant, almost no avenue is peaceful, to the plains to get real money, for many people, is out of reach.
Liu Ze also deeply regretted that from the depths of his heart, he never had the idea of keeping the customer's money as his own, and if the money bank wants to operate for a long time, the reputation will always come first. But the world is hard, many things are not something that Liu Ze can do if he wants to, in troubled times, there are always times when people are helpless. However, this made Liu Ze's idea more firm, to eliminate the troubled times, create a peaceful and prosperous world, and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, which is really urgent.
There was news from Luoyang, and after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he really stretched out his hand to the wealthy businessmen in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo obeyed Li Ru's construction and locked his first target on Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang. But when Niu Fu led the troops to raid the money village, he found that the money village had already been empty, except for a few houses that had been smashed by people, not even a copper coin could be found. Dong Zhuo even heard that on the night of the Luoyang Incident, someone was fishing in the water and confiscated Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong's mansion. Dong Zhuo was so angry that he smashed several cases with banquets on the spot.
Dong Zhuo monopolized power in Luoyang City, ran rampant, ignored the obstruction of hundreds of officials, forcibly abolished the young emperor, set up Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, and changed the Yuan Chuping. Zhijin Wu Ding Yuan, Shang Shu Ding Guan, and Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu were killed by him successively. Yuan Shao angrily drew his sword in front of the feast, and it was precisely because of the Yuan family's status in the court that Yuan Shao did not lose his life, Dong Zhuo obeyed Zhou Yu's Jianyi, and made Yuan Shao the Taishou of Bohai County. At this point, except for Lu Zhi, no one in the court dared to resist Dong Zhuo's obscenity.
Regarding Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior, the upright Lu Zhi stepped forward and admonished righteously: "Ming tolerance." Xi Taijia is unknown, and Yi Yin put it in Tonggong. On the 27th day of the king of Changyi, he created more than 3,000 evils, so Huo Guang sued the temple and abolished it. Although he is young, he is wise and benevolent, and there is no fault in the slightest. Gong is a foreign county assassin, has never participated in national politics, and has no Yi and Huo Zhicai, how can he force the lord to abolish the establishment? Sage Yun: 'If you have the ambition of Yiyin, you can, and if you don't have the ambition of Yiyin, you can usurp it.' ’”
Dong Zhuo was furious, and at that time he drew his sword to kill Lu Zhi with his own hands, but he had to be dissuaded by hundreds of officials, so he gave up. Lu Zhi also saw through the world, and did not want to be in the same stream in the court, so he wrote a letter to complain about his illness and returned to his hometown.
Lu Zhi knew that Dong Zhuo was narrow-minded and would repay him, so when he left Beijing, he did not take the big road but took the remote road. Sure enough, Dong Zhuo Mingli allowed Lu Zhi to return to his hometown after illness, and secretly sent assassins to assassinate Lu Zhi halfway, intending to kill Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi chose to escape from the path.
But Dong Zhuo is not the kind of person who is willing to give up, he can't succeed in a plan, and he uses another plan, and repeatedly sends five assassins to set up ambushes on several ferries of the Yellow River, the only way to Hebei, and he must take Lu Zhi's life.
Lu Zhi took his family with him, pulled a few more carts of books, and naturally walked not fast, and when he arrived at the Mengjin Ferry, he was surrounded by black-clad masked assassins. Lu Zhi is a weak person, how can he be the opponent of these assassins, sighed, and when he was about to be killed, a group of masked people suddenly appeared, extremely athletic, and in the blink of an eye, he eliminated those assassins.
Lu Zhi was surprised and delighted, but saw the masked man who was the leader tearing off the face towel and bowing down.
"Under is Liu Zegongzi's subordinate Zhang Long, who was ordered by Gongzi to secretly protect the safety of Duke Lu. These assassins were sent by Dong Zhuo to take Lu Gong's life. Gongzi ordered, and immediately escorted Lu Gong to the plain to be safe. ”
Only then did Lu Zhi understand that Liu Ze had such an arrangement, and recalled what Liu Ze said back then, and was full of emotion. Escorted by Zhang Long, Lu Zhi's family arrived safely in Pingyuan City.
Liu Ze, who received the news, personally went out of the city to greet him.
"The teacher was frightened, and the students prepared a little wine in the house to wash the dust and suppress the shock for the teacher."
Lu Zhi sighed: "When Runde talked about the general trend of the world in my house, he said that the princes of the world must be in turmoil. ”
"Dong Zhuoqi is brutal and vicious, and he will be punished by God, although he is rampant for a while, he will inevitably die on the streets. This is not the place to talk, so please go into the city first. ”
Lu Zhi responded and followed Liu Ze into the city. Liu Zezhi knew that Lu Zhi didn't like extravagance, so he didn't prepare any banquets, but simply made a few dishes, but the wine was absolutely good.
"Runde, you never forget this hobby of being a teacher." Lu Zhi, who smelled the aroma of wine, couldn't help but be greedy, raised his glass and drank it all, drank it, and sighed loudly.
Liu Ze personally filled Lu Zhi with wine, and said: "The teacher's affairs, the students have already heard about it, Dong Zhuo abolishes the power without authority, perverse acts, and hundreds of officials in the court are afraid of his momentum and dare not resist the admonition, but the teacher is not afraid of cruelty, he is angry and sparse, loyal to the society, and no one in the world is disrespectful." ”
Lu Zhi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's a pity that the division has no soldiers and no power, and he allows Dong thieves to act recklessly, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, and the society is difficult to protect. ”
"The teacher doesn't have to be worried, the rebel is a thief, everyone has to be punished, Dong Zhuo acts against the sky, how can the people of the world obey him, I think the heroes of the Kanto Zhulu will raise troops on the contrary, and the end of Dong Thief will not be far away." Liu Ze comforted.
Lu Yu said beside him: "Isn't Runde intending to raise troops against Dong?" ”
Liu Ze nodded and said, "If the princes of Kwantung raise an army to fight against the thief, they will definitely raise an army to respond." ”
"It's just that Runde is just an order of a county, and how many soldiers and horses do you have, I heard that Dong Zhuo's subordinates are known as Xiliang's 100,000 iron cavalry, and no one can match them." Lu Yu said with some concern.
"Brother Yu doesn't know, although the younger brother is in charge of the plain county commander, but Meng Gong has a heavy history, and he also leads the position of the captain of the plain country, and the tens of thousands of troops and horses in the plain country are all led by the younger brother. Dong Zhuo is strong and middle-handed, and Xiliang Tieqi is also a false name, if the heroes of the Kanto Zhulu are united, they can break the Dong thief in a moment. ”
Lu Zhi nodded, his eyes approving. "Runde's ambition is commendable, if everyone in the world has such ambition as Runde, why trouble with thieves and chaos."
Liu Ze said with a smile: "I have been taught by the teacher before, I did not dare to forget the country, although the students only did a county order, but the heart of serving the country never dared to forget, the people in the world are in trouble, the students are difficult to sleep and eat, and they are willing to do their best for the peace of the world." ”
Lu Zhi sighed: "There are very few people who can have the mind of Runde, and there are still many people in the world who tend to be inflammatory, and even Bo Ji is inevitably vulgar." ”
At the mention of Cai Yong, Liu Ze's heart moved, and said: "The students also heard that Dong Zhuo conquered Cai Gong to enter the court, and treated him very well, and within three days, he traveled through three Taiwans. ”
"Dong Thief's move is just to attract people's hearts and want to cover up. Hey, Bo Zhuo has also been abandoned by the court for a long time, although he is afraid of Dong Zhuo, as a person of the clear stream, how can he be unjust? Kong Guang Qujie, Yang Xiong lost his body, it is a pity! Lu Zhi has always attached great importance to integrity, so he is naturally a little dissatisfied with Cai Yong's actions.
