After Xu Ji sent Cao Bao and Chen Deng away, it was already the time when thousands of lights were on.

The two of them didn't have any trouble with Xu Ji, just a general visit, Cao Bao's attitude was very reluctant, with a pretentious posture and arrogance, which was very uncomfortable.

Chen Deng is more enthusiastic than before, but this is chilling, because it means that Chen Deng has a sharper vision.

And then Xu Ji found Chen Zhi and others, and first heard the news that Li Ji and Guo Yan took Jia Xu out of Chang'an City, Xu Ji knew that many people, including himself, were happy to hear the news.

After curing his hunger, news came from the palace: tomorrow, the emperor will receive envoys from all over the world.

Xu Ji was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that the trip to Chang'an had finally come to a day.

The second day, the Royal Palace.

Although the palace of Chang'an is in disrepair, but there is a magnificent atmosphere lingering in it, if compared with the palace in Luoyang, the natural structure is not so complicated, and there is not so strong mythological atmosphere, but it sweeps away the mysterious decadence of the Luoyang court, a feeling that the hero looks at the world from the grass.

With Xu Ji's profundity and Chen Zhi's pride, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him and was speechless.

Looking at the envoys in other places, all of them had solemn faces, and they were obviously also intimidated by the momentum in them.

Chen Zhi said in a low voice: "Lord, how can I feel small when I stand here? ”

A smile escaped from the corner of Xu Ji's mouth, and he said, "This may be where Emperor Gaozu's mind lies, right?" ”

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!

Chen Zhi's eyes lit up.

That's how it should be!

At this moment, a small yellow door came out and sang in a feminine voice: "The emperor has a decree." Messengers from all over the world, please go to the temple. ”

So everyone tidied up their clothes and hats, under the leadership of the little yellow door. Walk into the palace with pride.

Xu Ji's heart was not at all panicked, many years later. finally saw Liu Xie, who had grown up, again.

After a while, everyone came to the silent palace.

In the singing of the little yellow door, everyone bowed down one after another.

Xu Ji secretly raised his eyes to look, but saw Liu Xieduan sitting on the throne.

Compared with the beginning, he has matured a lot in both appearance and temperament, and he has really grown up.

Although Liu Xie has not yet reached the crown, his face obviously has a maturity that a child of that age does not have, and a pair of eyes are flickering, which makes Xu Jidu feel incomprehensible.

The long and brutal political struggle has made this child deeply understand that there is no truth that can be truly believed. Everyone is using him as a tool to command the world.

And there is a chance that the tool can be thrown away at any time.

Xu Ji saw it in his heart, such a child is only afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with than an adult.

He knows the importance of power better than anyone else, and he desires power more than anyone else, which is the most terrible, because he has never been in charge of power, so he can do whatever it takes to get power, and after the power is in his hands, he becomes profligate because the power is too great.

Power must not be given to such people.

Just thinking about it, Liu Xie beckoned everyone to be flat.

Then comes a litany of tedious etiquette. Liu Xie didn't have the slightest expression, just like a puppet.

Xu Jizhi said that Liu Xie is now living under surveillance, and he has no freedom at all to do anything. In the shadow of Dong Zhuo, no matter what half a step is over the thunder pool.

This Liu Xie only expressed a few words of condolences in courtesy, and did not express any additional expression to Xu Ji.

But after the crowd had gone. As Xu Ji expected, Liu Bei was left behind.

Before he left the palace gate, Chen Zhi didn't know where the road came from.

Xu Jizhi said that Chen must be looking for Shi A. beckoned Chen Zhi to come to his side, and said to Chen Zhi in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhi." How's it going? ”

Chen Zhi frowned and said: "I heard Shi A say that Liu He has frequently come to the palace in the past two days, because the emperor regards Shi A as a confidant, and of course Shi A can't escape without Shi A's help, so all the plans and plans Shi A has already known." ”

Xu Ji was overjoyed and said, "This is the best." Immediately, he saw that Chen Zhi's face was not very good-looking, and said strangely: "Uncle Zhi, is there anything wrong?" ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "I heard Shi A say that the emperor was originally undecided about whether to follow Liu Bei to escape, because the emperor already knew about Liu Bei's attack on the way, and he was worried that Liu Bei would not have the strength to protect himself at all, and Shi A also hinted that the emperor would rely on some powerful princes to escape." But the emperor thought that it was no different from falling into Dong Zhuo's hands, but life would be better, but he still had no power. But the people of the royal family can be trusted. Especially this Liu Yu. ”

After a pause, Chen Zhi said again: "There is another reason, that is, Liu He and Liu Bei are always under the surveillance of others. ”

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be Wang Yun's person?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it is said that it is some suspicious Xiliang soldiers." I think this is their delusion, if Dong Zhuo had doubted them, he would have arrested Liu Bei and them a long time ago, what else are they spying on? ”

Xu Ji's expression became solemn and said: "This matter is not so simple, don't forget, Xiliang Bing is not only Dong Zhuo. ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he immediately said suddenly: "The lord is talking about Ma Teng?" ”

Xu Ji nodded and said: "That's right, I have always suspected that there was a secret discussion between Yang Biao and Wang Yun, but there is no evidence, and now the news that Liu Bei is being monitored proves this." ”

Chen Zhi nodded, he naturally understood what Xu Ji meant, Ma Teng obeyed Yang Biao's orders, and Yang Biao had a secret contact with Wang Yun, Wang Yun learned from Yuan Shao that Liu Yu wanted to rescue Liu Xie's actions, but he had no evidence, and he couldn't monitor Liu Bei, let alone tell Dong Zhuo about it, otherwise even his own major affairs would be ruined, so he ordered Ma Teng through Yang Biao to fully monitor Liu Bei and Liu He's actions.

Because Ma Teng's people are from Xiliang, it is not easy to arouse Liu Bei's suspicions, and even if they arouse suspicion, Liu Bei and the others will only think of Dong Zhuo, thinking that Dong Zhuo is secretly spying on them, because on the surface, Ma Teng has no reason to see Liu Bei at all.

It seems that Liu Bei's suspicious array deliberately approached Zhang Ren was also deceiving the people who were spying on him.

Xu Ji asked, "But why did the emperor suddenly make up his mind to leave with Liu Bei?" ”

Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "Shi Ah said that it was because Liu He had assured the emperor that the person who participated in this operation was also the Yizhou assassin Shi Zhang Ren. My lord, this thing ......"

Xu Ji waved his hand. said categorically: "Uncle Zhi doesn't have to take it to heart, Zhang Ren will definitely not be able to participate in this matter." Liu Bei should know that if Zhang Ren was involved, things would only be worse. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "I understand what the lord means." Liu Yan is an ambitious person, Liu Bei once worked under Liu Yan, and naturally knows what kind of person Liu Yan is like, and cooperating with Zhang Ren is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger. ”

After a pause, he said: "The key to the problem now is that the emperor thinks that with Zhang Ren's participation, this matter is very successful, so Shi A has lost the opportunity to speak, and there is no way to explain the lord's intentions to the emperor." ”

Xu Ji didn't expect this to be the case, and gasped and said, "Fortunately, he didn't say it, otherwise the emperor would have told Liu Bei and Liu He the news right now." With Liu Bei's IQ, he will definitely realize that there is something wrong with our team of envoys. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and couldn't help asking, "But how can we make the emperor go with us willingly?" ”

Xu Ji smiled coldly and said, "Originally, there was no way, but now there is another way." ”

Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu Ji, who said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhi, you go and inform Shi A, and ask him to try his best to delay the day when Liu Bei rescued the emperor to the day when Wang Yun acted." ”

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood a little.

Xu Ji let out a long sigh in his heart, it seemed that he didn't have time to make thorough preparations. I can only be dangerous.

But before that, Xu Ji can only wait and see.

Chang'an, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

Three days later. Outsiders only saw that Zhang Ji's wife Zou received an "invitation" from Mrs. Wang Yun to be a guest in Wang Yun's mansion.

But Wang Yun went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to "work".

Not much time. Dong Zhuo's car rushed to Wang Yun's mansion.

An hour later, Zhang Xiu came angrily and saw Dong Zhuo's car parked in front of Wang Yun's mansion. Zhang Xiu's eyes breathed fire, and he stepped forward and slammed the door. Where are Dong Zhuo's subordinates Zhang Xiu's opponents? One by one, they were beaten to the ground.

After a while, Dong Zhuo walked out of Wang Yun's mansion with a pretended calm face. got into the carriage and hurriedly left Wang Yun's mansion.

Then, Zhang Xiu left with his aunt Zou with an angry face.

The news soon spread to everyone in Chang'an. But this matter can only be stopped, Dong Zhuo is at fault, but Zhang Xiu is helpless against the other party.

But Xu Ji and the others knew that Wang Yun had prepared everything.

Then another news came out, saying that after Dong Zhuo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that Miss Cao Ling and Lu Bu were sitting in the Fengyi Pavilion chatting, laughing and laughing, and the affection was lingering.

And Lu Bu fled in a hurry.

This matter is also over, because Dong Zhuo only apologized to Lu Bu a few days ago, and now what he is saying to Lu Bu is really slapping himself in the mouth, Dong Zhuo can only endure his anger, but it is Li Ru who is unlucky, Dong Zhuo thinks that it is Li Ru's idea that makes the relationship between him and Lu Bu awkward.

Li Ru was alienated a lot.

But Wang Yun took the opportunity to start getting close to Dong Zhuo and did many things for Dong Zhuo. Because of his prestige in Chang'an City, he did things smoothly on his own, won the praise of many people, and made Dong Zhuo begin to rely on him.

Li Ru was helpless.

However, Xu Ji and others knew that the biggest reason why Wang Yun won Dong Zhuo's trust was because Wang Yun let Dong Zhuo get his long-cherished wish, which made Dong Zhuo and Mrs. Zou have a happy night.

This pimping business, Wang Yun is doing really well.

Subsequently, there were many suspicious people in front of Cai's mansion, and Xu Ji knew that this was a suspicious plan made by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.

Sure enough, Liu Bei and Cao Cao visited again and persuaded Xu Ji to leave Chang'an as soon as possible.

Of course, Xu Ji did as they wished. Formally asked Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo to leave Chang'an, of course Liu Xie had no opinion, Dong Zhuo only felt exhausted during this time, after all, there were too many things in Chang'an, and this Le Jin was assassinated a while ago, and now I don't know who the murderer is, which makes Dong Zhuo very faceless, and now this Le Jin takes the initiative to ask to leave Chang'an, Dong Zhuo only feels that this is something that he can't ask for, of course, he is very happy to let go.

So, Lejin was in the grand farewell procession. With a gloomy face, Dede left Chang'an.

Xu Ji's departure, like Jia Xu's, was a relief to many.

But no one knew that the "Lejin" who left was not Xu Ji. It's made up of a ghost elite.

Also leaving at the same time were Cai Yong's father and daughter and Xu Shu, as well as Xu Ji's wife, who was often in the dark and left together. The princess of the Great Han, Yining.

Cai Yong's reason to leave is very sufficient, because in the past two years, Chen Liu's academic prosperity has been prosperous, and the school palace opened by Xu Ji is a place where Yingchuan academic elites gather, so Cai Yong, as a leader of the contemporary literary world, is really unreasonable if he has not been there.

What's more, nominally, Cai Yan has always been under the protection of Xu Ji, and this matter is also known to everyone. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Ji said that Cai Yan had reached the age of marriage, so he simply said with an excuse that he asked Cai Yong to take care of his daughter, so Cai Yong's departure was also logical, and sending his daughter to marry was another reason for Cai Yong to leave Chang'an.

Cai Yong promised Dong Zhuo that after Cai Wenji got married, he would return from Yanzhou immediately.

Dong Zhuo didn't want to offend Xu Ji for this matter, but Dong Zhuo had his own wishful thinking. You must know that although Cai Yong is a leader in the literary world, the first academic in the past two years is in Yanzhou.

The limelight of Cai Yong, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others has gradually been overshadowed by Xu Ji and other cutting-edges, and the reason why Dong Zhuo raised Cai Yong. is to use Cai Yong's reputation, and now Cai Yong is going to Yanzhou, which is equivalent to giving Cai Yong a new life in academic prestige. And Xu Ji is almost Cai Yong's son-in-law, so he has this relationship. Xu Ji has to give his father-in-law a face.

So from this point of view, Cai Yong went to Yanzhou. It's a good thing for Dong Zhuo, as for whether he will come back, Dong Zhuo doesn't care, anyway, Cai Yong himself is a trustworthy person, and Cai Yong said very clearly, "Prime Minister Dong Cheng is in Chang'an, and I, Cai Yong, must go back." ”

Therefore, Cai Yong and Cai Wenji's departure was very smooth and unhindered, only Wang Yun and others secretly shouted that it was a pity, because they lost the opportunity to rectify Cai Yong.

As for the Xirou that Wang Yun gave to Xu Ji, it was naturally in the frame, of course Xu Ji didn't touch her these days, because he hadn't figured out how to clean her up.

Now the role of this Xirou is not big, it is not small, if in the Chang'an Rebellion, Wang Yun died like history, this Xirou is completely useless.

If Wang Yun survives, then the role of this Xirou will be great.

The people who went to see him off that day included, of course, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.

Yin Ning naturally couldn't show her face, so she dressed up as Cai Yan's personal maid, sat in the carriage, and left smoothly.

Because everything was prepared, Xu Shu naturally didn't have to stay in the city, and Chen Zhidianwei and the others naturally accompanied him.

The Yanzhou army stationed outside the city drove away together under the leadership of Chen Zhi.

In the following days, Wen Ping and Yu Ban quietly sneaked back to Chang'an with two hundred ghost elites and joined Xu Ji.

Xu Ji knew that Wang Yun wanted to create an opportunity for Dong Zhuo to go out, so that he could kill Dong Zhuo.

Why? Since time is different from history, the opportunity that Wang Yun took advantage of is definitely not the opportunity in history.

After a few more days, the answer came out.

Dong Zhuo's wedding, Wang Yun's opinion is that this wedding should be specially organized, and the entire Chang'an City should celebrate it, not to mention that the envoys from all over the country have only seen the Son of Heaven, so the wedding should be held more grandly in order to achieve double happiness.

And it just so happened that except for the Yanzhou envoys, the other envoys still stayed in Chang'an, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and naturally complied.

Xu Ji and the others finally came to know the most embarrassing moment.

Early in the morning, Chang'an City began to hang all kinds of festive things under the organization of Da Situ Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo's itinerary was also arranged by Wang Yun, because Xuzhou is thousands of miles away, so Wang Yun suggested that Chang'an City be Cao Ling's maiden home. The place where Dong Zhuo's mother lives is used as her in-law's house, so Wang Yun asked Dong Zhuo to live in Dong Zhuo's mother's house the night before the wedding.

On the second day, Dong Zhuo personally went to Chang'an to marry Cao Ling.

As for Dong Zhuo's entourage, Wang Yun arranged Lu Bu and Li Su, and it is known that this Li Su has already been bought by Wang Yun.

The accompanying troops were, of course, the city guards led by Zhang Xiu.

Of course, Dong Zhuo had no objections, because he was really not at ease when Lu Bu was placed in Chang'an City, who knew what would happen between Lu Bu and Cao Ling in one night?

As for Zhang Xiu, Wang Yun strongly recommended it, believing that this was a great opportunity for the two to ease their relationship. Dong Zhuo always felt that there was a ghost in his heart, so of course he agreed immediately.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already obeyed Wang Yunyan. Naturally, they all agreed.

However, this incident also made Xu Ji very strange, and he didn't understand why Dong Zhuo believed Wang Yun's words so easily.

There must be other reasons for this.

Xu Ji, Wen Ping, and Yu Ban were quietly guarding the hidden place outside the palace at this time. As for the other movements of Chang'an City, someone is naturally responsible.

Look at the time, Dong Zhuo's wedding ceremony is about to start.

The forces of all aspects of Chang'an City are tense in this lantern, and they all want to achieve the greatest results in their hearts.

But no one noticed that outside the majestic palace of Chang'an City, this inconspicuous small team.

But it is also this small team that has become the most unpredictable force in the entire Chang'an City, this is also the situation that Xu Ji planned early on, only the sharp blade hidden in the shadows can kill with one blow, this is also Xu Ji's character, forbearance, waiting, attacking. At this time, Chang'an was still immersed in the joy on the surface, but the cold light in the shadows was already flickering. (To be continued......)
