Wang Yun didn't care about the stakes, he suspected that Zhang Rang was having an affair with the Yellow Turban Army, so he further investigated, exposed all the specific details, and wrote it as a song to play the emperor. Emperor Ling of Han was shocked and immediately summoned Zhang Rang into the palace, angrily accusing Zhang Rang and asking him to explain the actual situation. Zhang Rang has always been self-righteous and pointing fingers in the court, and he didn't expect anyone to dare to expose him in front of the emperor, so he was half frightened to death after seeing Wang Yun's performance, and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize. But Zhang Rang is such a cunning and slick character, when he answered the emperor, not only did he not admit his crime, but said that Wang Yun was jealous and framed him, saying how loyal he was to His Majesty and the imperial court, and did not have the slightest intention of fornicating with the Yellow Turban Army and betraying the imperial court. Emperor Ling was originally deliberately biased in favor of Zhang Rang, and was confused by Zhang Rang's rhetoric, thinking that he was innocent, so he no longer pursued it.

After Zhang Rang was exonerated from the crime, he had a grudge against Wang Yun and wanted to wait for an opportunity to retaliate against Wang Yun. The following year, Zhang Rang finally found an excuse to arrest Wang Yun and put him in prison. Soon, just in time for the imperial court amnesty, Wang Yun was exempted from the crime and released, and he also reinstated Shi to his original position. However, Zhang Rang, who was bound to take revenge, did not stop there, and within ten days, he convicted Wang Yun on another "trumped-up" charge, and Wang Yun was imprisoned again.

In order to exonerate Wang Yun and save him from pain and humiliation, Yang Ci sent his subordinates to advise Wang Yun: "You offended the eunuch Zhang Rang because of something, and within a month, you were imprisoned twice, and it is obvious that he intended to get along with you." Now you are more than lucky, and your life is difficult to protect. In order to achieve your ambitions, why don't you give in first. Bear with it? The big husband can bend and stretch, if he is only blindly strong. I'm afraid he won't let you go, please think about it carefully! ”

Wang Yun's subordinates are also deeply worried about Wang Yun's re-imprisonment. They tried every means to rescue Wang Yun. When an aggressive subordinate went to visit Wang Yun in prison, he wept bitterly, persuaded Wang Yun to admit his mistake to Zhang Rang and make amends, and begged him to open the net, but Wang Yun angrily refused. The subordinate found a glass of wine and said angrily to Wang Yun: "Since you protect yourself like this, you might as well drink this cup of poisonous wine, why should you still be tortured by others in prison?" ”

However, it was not expected by his subordinates. Wang Yun snatched the wine glass and said sharply: "I am a subject of the dignified Son of Heaven, the king has given me a sin, I should accept the punishment, behead the public on the street according to the king's law, and everyone in the world should take me as a warning, no longer violate the law, maintain social stability, how can I swallow poison without permission." Is it true to escape legal punishment with death? You don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!" After saying that, he poured the wine on the ground and approached the prisoner's cart himself. He was put back in prison.

Since Wang Yun has not apologized to Zhang Rang and admitted his mistakes, Zhang Rang further exaggerated the circumstances of his so-called crime. Soon after, Wang Yun's case was arraigned. Wang Yun's subordinate officials and friends, as well as many officials in the court, were very anxious and wanted to stop Zhang Rang's framing of Wang Yun. General He Jin and Tai Lieutenant Yuan Kui. Situ Yang Ci jointly wrote to the emperor and pleaded for Wang Yun. I hope the emperor can pardon Wang Yun. In the recital, they wrote: Wang Yun is strict with himself, lenient with others, loyal and sincere to officials, magnanimous and virtuous, and has the demeanor and integrity of a gentleman. In the past, Emperor Xiaowen of the Jin Dynasty and Emperor Xiaowen of the previous dynasty could distinguish between right and wrong and pardon the crimes of the ministers, so His Majesty could not follow suit? In this way, Wang Yun was ordered by the imperial court to punish the traitors and appease the good people, and he should have been rewarded for meritorious deeds and promoted to the rank of knight; Is it because of such a trivial matter that he should be condemned to death? His Majesty gave him such an unfair punishment, I am afraid that he will disappoint the expectations of the public, and the officials will not accept it. ”

After reading the recital, Emperor Liu Hong pardoned Wang Yun's capital crime, but he was still imprisoned for a new conviction. This winter, there was another amnesty from the imperial court. Because Zhang Rang has always been in the way, Wang Yun is still not among the pardons. He Jin, Yuan Kui, Yang Ci and other important officials of the three princes continued to write to the emperor, asking for a pardon for Wang Yun. It was not until the following year that Wang Yun was exonerated and released. At that time, the eunuchs in the DPRK and China were in power, and Zhang Rang eunuchs relied on their power to run rampant and do whatever they wanted. Although Wang Yun, who had just been released from prison, hated the actions of Zhang Rang and others, due to the limited amount of strength, he had to change his name and surname, leave the capital Luoyang, and travel between Hanoi and Chenliu.

Soon Emperor Ling died, and Wang Yun hurried to Luoyang to mourn. At this time, the situation in the imperial court was extremely chaotic, the foreign relatives led by He Jin were greatly strengthened, and the eunuch Zhang Rang lost control of the central power and was in danger of collapse. The general He Jin took advantage of the opportunity of the funerals of various local officials to make friends and win over his relatives in order to seek concessions. As soon as Wang Yun arrived in Luoyang, he was urgently summoned by He Jin and explained his intentions.

Wang Yun was very grateful to He Jin for saving his life, so he agreed and took the position of a servant. Later, the situation changed dramatically, Zhang Rang gathered his henchmen, and tricked He Jin into the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager He summoning He Jin, and took the opportunity to ambush him. Wang Yun had to move to Henan Yin to temporarily escape Zhang Rang's arrogance. After Zhang Rang ambushed He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and others, who had been secretly summoned, immediately led troops into Beijing to kill Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang, Duan Hang and others kidnapped the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie and fled in the middle of the night. At that time, the ministers and doctors of the court were overwhelmed by the rapidly changing situation, and they did not dare to protect the young emperor. Wang Yun immediately sent some soldiers to follow Shangshu Lu Zhi to protect the young emperor, and afterwards, welcomed the young emperor back to the palace.

In 189 A.D. (the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty), Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, and the emperor Liu Xie succeeded to the throne. In 190 A.D. (the first year of the First Ping), Wang Yun replaced Yang Biao as Situ and concurrently served as Shangshuling. Yang Biao was transferred to the post of lieutenant. As the third prince of Situ, Wang Yun's power should be very large, but since Dong Zhuo became the master, his position as Situ has actually been hollowed out, and the position of prime minister is completely attributed to Dong Zhuo, although so Wang Yun's influence in the court is still very large, and he immediately came forward and was supported by a large number of ministers in the court.

Dong Zhuo's coronation this time was opposed by many ministers in the court, and these ministers are all high-powered heavyweights, although Dong Zhuo controls the military and political power, and kills the power without permission, but so many ministers unanimously come out to oppose it, Dong Zhuo can't act rashly, after all, there are too many people, you can't kill all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, right? What's more, these ministers still have some considerable influence in the DPRK.

Li Ru gave Dong Zhuo a round and let him step down very beautifully, this is not only a round but also an army of Li Ru's ministers, how to say it? Li Ru saw that there were too many opposing voices in the court, so he turned to the side of the Son of Heaven, that is, to use the Emperor Xian to put pressure on the ministers, most of the ministers were loyal ministers, and they were obedient to the decision of the Son of Heaven, so as long as the Emperor Xian issued an edict, even if it was not right, they were not easy to refute, so as long as this point was used, the ministers could force the ministers to comply, Li Ru was to understand this point and then said this decision in the court, his decision was actually to retreat, and the current ministers of cultural relics in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Emperor Xian was just a puppet of Dong Zhuo

Li Ru found Dong Zhuo and said to Dong Zhuo: "If the lord wants to get his wish, he must ask the Son of Heaven to come forward in public to recognize the title of the lord of the king, if the Son of Heaven admits it, I think the ministers can no longer object, if there is any objection, they will be killed immediately, and there will be an excuse to kill him, and the excuse is not to listen to the orders of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and soon put this plan on the agenda, but this time the location of the topic was changed from the Wenming Hall to the Xuande Hall of the South Palace, this Xuande Hall has been the place where the emperor and the ministers discussed since ancient times, and the ministers came to discuss the matter by order, but saw Emperor Han Xian sitting on the right seat in the center of the main hall, Dong Zhuo took the sword aside, and Dong Zhuo was his son-in-law Li Ruye, and the ministers saw this A sense of foreboding suddenly came to their hearts: it seems that Dong Zhuo's intention this time is obviously to repeat the old tune or coronation, However, this time he moved out of Emperor Xian, so he didn't know how to end the road, but the person who came was not good, and the air here quickly became solemn, and the faces of the ministers also became grim.

Seeing that all the ministers were coming, Li Ru was the first to come out and say: "Your Majesty! The previous Kwantung Army raised 300,000 troops to attack Luoyang, and as a result, under the wise and decisive command of the Taishi, the generals and soldiers bravely moved forward to repel the Kwantung Army, so that the rebellious ministers and thieves paid a heavy price, and annihilated nearly 200,000 enemies. ”

Emperor Xian was stunned when he heard this, is this obviously to blackmail the widow to give Dong Zhuo a knighthood, Liu Xie said: "What do you ministers think?" ”

"Not so! Dong thief bullied the king, brought disaster to the country and the people, was domineering, and deceived the king, how could he actually want to be a marquis? It should be beheaded outside the noon gate to thank the world! "The speaker is Shangshu Lu Zhiye.

After Lu Zhi finished speaking, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked, and then looked at Dong Zhuoqi's face was blue, his teeth were crushed, and he raised his sword in front of the crowd, and said angrily to Lu Zhi: "You spew blood from your mouth, slander the important ministers of the court, and you should be beheaded!" ”

Lu Zhi angrily pointed at Dong Zhuo and said, "Dong thief! Thou hast killed innocents indiscriminately, brought disaster to the country and the people, and heaven will not tolerate it! ”

Dong Zhuo scolded: "Someone! Drag this rebel thief out of the gang and behead me! ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he threw the lottery holder in his hand at Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo dodged, and the guards hurriedly dragged Lu Zhi out of the gang and beheaded him.

It turns out that this Lu Zhi has long been dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister, and he can't wait to break Dong Zhuo's body into ten thousand pieces, Dong Zhuo did not do anything to abolish the establishment before, only because he was sick in bed and could not attend, this time I heard that someone gave Dong Zhuo an eye, Lu Zhi was already angry Seven Orifices smoke, and suddenly the fire surged upward, since ancient times, "loyalty and filial piety cannot be both", he Lu Zhi is a character who would rather bend straight than straight to Quzhong, and would rather bend such a character, when even if he couldn't bear it, he scolded Dong Zhuo, he knew the consequences of doing so, He has long put life and death aside, but even if he dies, he will die as he deserves, this is the courage of a loyal servant (to be continued. )
