Chapter XXVIII
In the current situation, Chang'an City has reached the most urgent moment.
If there is no accident, it will be broken.
Dong Zhuo's 100,000 army collapsed overnight, and it was nothing more than this to come to Chang'an City.
But to let Li Zheng enter the court, many people are absolutely unwilling.
How can you distinguish between the benefits? Do you want to let a martial artist step on their heads again? Could it be that killing jackals attracts tigers and leopards?
At Situ Wang Yun's mansion, a cadre and others were discussing this issue.
Taiwei Huang Wanshu frowned and said: "That Li Chongxiao is lawless, he doesn't put the court and the Son of Heaven in his eyes at all, not only does he not respond to the call of the Son of Heaven to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but now he also ignores the righteousness and attacks Yizhou." Now that Dong Zhuo's general trend has gone, do you want to let this person take control of the government? ā
In their opinion, to crusade against Dong Zhuo, it must be in the name of the Son of Heaven and have their conscription. And Li Zheng, this guy, recruited him, he didn't move, but he didn't take the Son of Heaven and them, the important ministers of the country, in his eyes. Although he was about to defeat Dong Zhuo now, everyone here was not happy at all.
The biggest hatred is that Li Zheng, a person they look down on, doesn't take them seriously.
Such a person will definitely not be at the mercy of them, and will definitely become another more tricky being.
This is absolutely intolerable.
"But now that Li Chongxiao has achieved the general trend, Dong Zhuo's defeat is imminent, what can I do?" Someone said helplessly.
"Maybe you can help Dong Zhuo and guard Chang'an."
Someone said, "We don't know about Li Chongxiao, but we all know that it's not easy to deal with." As for Dong Zhuo, although he is brutal, we are almost clear about his details, and all kinds of arrangements are already in place, even if there is no Li Chongxiao, Dong Zhuo is about to die. And the government must not let Li Chongxiao interfere. So I built yƬ to temporarily help Dong Zhuo, to protect Li Chongxiao, and defend Chang'an. When Li Chongxiao can't break through for a long time, he will inevitably retreat. Then immediately launch an arrangement, kill Dong Zhuo, and quickly grasp the government, when the time comes, we will uphold the righteousness, and Li Chongxiao will have no reason to attack Chang'an, wouldn't it be wonderful? ! ā
"That's right!"
Many people nodded their heads one after another.
Wang Yun and Huang Wan glanced at each other, and their expressions were helpless.
Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "Having said that, but Li Chongxiao is lawless and doesn't take the righteousness of the court in his eyes at all, how can you be sure that after overthrowing Dong Zhuo, he will not attack Chang'an?" ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet.
"How's that to be?" It took a long time before someone held back such a sentence.
After some discussion, they spent about half a night, but they couldn't make up their minds, which made everyone present even more resentful of Li Zheng.
In the end, Wang Yuncai said: "Then let's help Dong Zhuo resist Li Chongxiao for the time being, get through the hurdle in front of me first, and talk about it later." ā
"That's all there is to it."
"Then tomorrow, Situ will go to meet Dong Zhuo"
In the palace.
Eleven-year-old Liu Xie's immature face was dark.
On the side, a eunuch stood quietly, like a shadow.
"You say, who is better, Li Chongxiao or Dong Zhongying?"
In the silent palace, this pretended to be deep, but still seemed crisp and tender, and the bleak atmosphere was broken.
"The slave doesn't know." The eunuch's duck voiced: "Dong Zhuo is brutal, dominates the government, and does not take you as the Son of Heaven in his eyes." But what kind of person Li Chongxiao is in Liangzhou, the slave and maid don't know. ā
"It's no different." Liu Xiedao: "Last time, I summoned me with a blood edict, but Li Chongxiao ignored it, which made me hateful. ā
"It was Wang Yun who sued him, right? Wang Yun is not trustworthy for people from these families. The eunuch said: "They are no different from Dong Zhuo, but they are better at disguise." ā
Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "I know, I know these so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. As he spoke, his little face was full of vicissitudes of life.
"But I'm tired of their faces, I haven't seen Li Chongxiao yet" Saying, Liu Xie laughed nervously again: "You say, Li Chongxiao must be different from them, right?" ā
The eunuch was silent
Xiangguo Mansion, Dong Zhuo is still like a crouching tiger, lying on the couch.
But his face is much older, his hair is gray, and the majesty of his whole person is not as heavy as before.
Li Su stood at the bottom of the hall, glanced at Dong Zhuo, and was speechless.
"Alas" Suddenly, Dong Zhuo sighed and said slowly: "I knew that Li Chongxiao was a big trouble, but it's a pity, this person is too good at speculation." Every time I take advantage of the time when I have no time to retreat, I develop and grow, and in the blink of an eye, I have reached the appearance in front of me. ā
"Li Su, do you say Chang'an can hold it?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyes and stared at Li Su.
Li Su's heart trembled, knowing that it was not easy to answer. Dong Zhuo is becoming more and more moody these days, if he is not careful and says the wrong thing, he will definitely die a miserable death.
"Xiangguo" Li Su pondered for a long time and said: "Li Chongxiao is essentially the same kind of person as Xiangguo. ā
Dong Zhuo nodded.
"But this man is even more lawless." Li Su said again: "Liangzhou is rich, has a profound heritage, has excellent armor, and is extremely strong, Li Chongxiao can fight well, if nothing else, Chang'an may not be able to hold it." ā
Li Su thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to say what was in his heart.
Just when he was nervous in his heart, Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "What you said is very good, you can see it very clearly" Saying, Dong Zhuo paused, and after a while, he continued: "In Lao Tzu's life, in the first half of his life, he crisscrossed the battlefield and killed countless people. In the second half of his life, he controlled the government and government, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to resist. Lao Tzu eats the most fragrant food, drinks the spiciest wine, and sleeps with the most noble woman, this life is worth it! ā
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo's whole body burst out with a domineering momentum, and his eyes opened and closed, but they were full of light.
For a while, Li Su seemed to see that Dong Zhuo, who was looking down on the world, was back!
"People," Dong Zhuo's momentum flashed, and he became lazy and decrepit: "I will die after all." You say that the prime minister country has no heirs, that is, he conquered the world and usurped the throne, and who will he give it to? ā
Li Su was speechless.
As someone close to Dong Zhuo, he actually knows Dong Zhuo very well.
Dong Zhuo is very powerful, which no one can deny. From a humble martial artist to Xiangguo, who controls the government, Dong Zhuo has planned for himself and stepped on step by step.
But Dong Zhuo has no heirs, and his son died early, which is his biggest weakness.
As Dong Zhuo himself said, even if he won the world, who would he pass it on?
This is actually the fundamental reason why Dong Zhuo did nothing after taking control of the government.
It's been enjoyable, although he hasn't been the emperor, but isn't the emperor actually at his disposal? Therefore, Dong Zhuo's life has actually reached its peak a long time ago.
"Me, I can't let go of it now." Dong Zhuo said: "If I die, what will my obedient granddaughter do?" Without me to shelter her from the wind and rain, those bastards still won't swallow her with a bone? Li Su, what do you think I should do? ā
Li Su was silent.
After a long time, Dong Zhuo laughed: "Presumably, those bastards who think they are superior to others in the middle of the court are also worried about this at this time, right?" Li Chongxiao is not my Dong someone, he is very young! ā
Saying that, Dong Zhuo stood up, his huge body gave people huge pressure, and said, "Li Su, you prepare, I will go out of the city immediately to meet Li Chongxiao." ā
"Huh?!"
Li Su was stunned when he heard this.
Dong Zhuo frowned and shouted, "Why don't you go and prepare?!" ā
"Ahh
At the end of the day, Li Zheng was about to rest, but he came quickly because of his ambition.
"Lord!"
Xi Zhicai's face was a little strange, and he said, "There is a person you absolutely didn't expect to come to visit. ā
Li Zheng couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Unexpected people? ā
Xi Zhicai nodded affirmatively: "If the lord is not surprised at all when he sees this person, his subordinates will be at his disposal." ā
"Oh?"
Li Zheng was interested and said, "Okay, let's invite people in." ā
Xi Zhi came out of the tent, and after a while, he led a person in.
Li Zheng stared at it, this person was wearing a cloak, but he could see the huge fat body under the cloak. Who is this?
The man took off his cloak, and his face was finally exposed to Li Zheng's eyes.
"You are"
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and slowly stood up.
"Li Chongxiao!"
"Dong Zhongying!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Come on, move two couches for me and Xiangguo!" Li Zheng stepped down from the hall and ordered: "Take good wine and food, I want to have a drink with Dong Xiangguo tonight." ā
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Zheng with a smile, and when the two sat down on the couch, the two sat down, and the waiter poured wine and presented food, and the two of them didn't speak, they first raised their glasses and drank them all, and then they began to speak.
"I never expected to see you Dong Zhongying in such a situation!"
Li Zheng's face was full of sighs.
Dong Zhuo ate a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Do you have to meet you after someone Dong becomes a prisoner of the order?" ā
"It's a joke." Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I have been friends with you Dong Zhongying for a long time. You are arrogant and domineering, and I can't be lawless, we are the same kind of people. ā
"The old man is far behind." Dong Zhuo laughed, shook his head and said, "Your kid is ambitious in the world, and the old man is dying and decrepit, and he doesn't have that ambition." ā
"But in this world, only you and I dare to look at a qiÄ and not put a qiÄ in our eyes. What is royalty? What is a family?! Li Zheng laughed and said: "To be honest, what you Dong Zhongying did is still a little flawed, if you change to me Li, it doesn't matter what royal family he is, what kind of family he is, if he provokes me, he will be killed." ā
"I'm not in that position, I don't know how hard it is." Dong Zhuo said: "The strength is not strong enough, the fist is not big enough, you must always have scruples." ā
"That's right." Li Zheng thought so: "If it weren't for the fact that I, Li, have the strength to dominate the world, I wouldn't dare to do this." But who made people like you and me have this strength? ā
The two of them exchanged glasses again.
With a snort and a drink, Dong Zhuo sighed: "The old man came to see you today, first, I want to see what the kid who has been crushing the old man and me to death looks like, and second, there is one thing that asks you for help." ā
"Please?" Li Zheng's hand paused slightly, and said, "How difficult is it for you Dong Zhongying to say this word?" ā
"At this point, at the age of the old man, what can't you see?" Dong Zhuo asked rhetorically and said directly: "I have lived enough in my life, but the old man has a granddaughter, but she is still in her prime." The old man has offended too many people, and if the old man dies, my granddaughter will not end well. The old man thinks about it, I'm afraid that only you, Li Chongxiao, can guarantee her safety. So I came to see you in exchange for a promise from you. ā
Li Zheng listened attentively.
"The old man can order someone to open the city gate at once." Dong Zhuo said: "But you have to marry Xiaobai, and you must treat her well in the future, and don't make her sad, do you dare to respond?" ā
When Li Zheng heard this, he looked at Dong Zhuo for a while, but he smiled and said, "You old guy, this is clearly trying to take advantage of me!" After marrying your granddaughter, I, Li, am not allowed to pretend to be a grandson for you?! ā
"Hahaha" Dong Zhuo couldn't stop laughing, and said: "What you said is right, if you marry my granddaughter, you have to be my grandson!" ā
