33 Li Su's ambition
The dark clouds that had been hanging over Luoyang City were suddenly swept away with the news that Guo Tai of the White Wave Army was ordered to come east.
The remnants of Xiliang, following Li Dao and Guo Yan fled westward in panic, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and Fan Chou, who had been supporting their troops and watching with self-respect, finally followed in their footsteps, left behind their soldiers, and fled back to Xiliang.
This means that the Xiliang Army, which has always made the Luoyang government and the opposition panic, finally fall apart and disappear.
If this news was only reported by Guo Taiyu, Situ Wang Yun would still not fully accept it, but there was a Hangu guard general Yulin Zhonglang sent Xu Rong to report to Pegasus, saying that Fan Chou, who was originally stationed in Mianchi, had disappeared, and Wang Yun did not doubt him, because he had already inquired clearly, although Xu Rong belonged to Dong Zhuo's generals, he had not been loved by the generals of Xiliang under Dong Zhuo's lineage, otherwise, he would not have agreed without hesitation as soon as he received the invitation from the imperial court.
As soon as this news was confirmed, several major events had been prepared for a long time and immediately began to be handled.
The first major event is to announce Dong Zhuo's crimes, arson into Luoyang without authorization, hijacking the holy driver, abolishing the establishment without authorization, mutilating the ministers, and so on.
The second major event is to issue a document for sea fishing, arrest Dong Zhuo and the rest of the party, Niu Fu and Li Ru, as well as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others, anyone, catch Niu Fu and Li Ru, or cut off the head, they will be rewarded with millions of dollars, and they will be ranked as feudal marquis, and as for Li Dao and other remaining parties, they also have their own rewards.
The third major issue is how to deal with Lu Bu, who aided in the abuse.
These three major events, Situ Wang Yunyin is behind the scenes, and the most active performance is actually when today's son Liu Bian, and the Empress Dowager He who returned to the court, their resentment against Dong Zhuo has been buried deep in their hearts since the moment they were abolished, but they have always been afraid of Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and they dare not speak out. Now that it is not easy to see Dong Zhuo dead, and the generals under him have fled one after another, how can there be any reason not to settle accounts immediately after the autumn.
In the first two things, almost no courtiers had any objections, even Guangluxun Li Su was forced by the situation and did not dare to object. But the third thing has caused great controversy, and the main reason is, of course, that Lu Bu is still stationed in Hedong, neither like the generals of Xiliang, who wrote to the court to ask for guilt, nor did he raise a banner and lead the army back to Luoyang.
What's more, Li Su was very resolute in how to deal with Lu Bu, and Empress Dowager He was also hesitant, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
That night, Situ Wang Yun held a feast and invited all the ministers, the apparent reason was to celebrate his birthday, but the actual reason, everyone knew it, that is, he admitted that he could take over the scepter of the head of the Taifu Yuan Kui hundred officials and become a new generation of courtier leaders.
In Situ's mansion, the lights were bright, and the banquet that was set up extended from the wide hall to the outside of the hall, even so, except for those highly respected ministers, most of the people were sitting together in two, otherwise it would not be arranged at all.
The pretty maids shuttle back and forth, the silk and bamboo are melodious, the singing and dancing are fun, and the guests and hosts are happy.
Taifu Yuan Kui was unwell and did not come, and those present, whether it was an official position or prestige, were all respected by Situ Wang Yun, he sat on the main seat, his already handsome face, at this moment he was even more radiant, full of energy, under the flattery of a group of courtiers, from time to time hearty daxiao, showing a good mood.
Compared with him, Guangluxun Li Su, who was in the limelight during this time, seemed a little absent-minded, although he would also toast Wang Yun with everyone, but those scholars and doctors brought by Eguanbo were avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and most of the time, he was drinking alone and watching coldly.
In such a situation, let alone now, even when Taiwei Dong Zhuo was in power, these pretentious scholars and doctors did not look down on them very much.
After a few rounds of drinking, the Kabuki girl had just retreated, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone seemed to suddenly have nothing to say, even the few people who were originally talking to each other all closed their mouths and looked around at this moment, dazed and didn't know what was going on.
“haha”
Or the master Wang Yun reacted quickly, haha laughed for a while, picked up the wine bottle, invited everyone everywhere, and said loudly: "The national thief is ambushed, it is really happy, come, all the kings drink together!" ”
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and when everyone put down the wine bottles one after another, Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, filled the wine bottles again, stood up, and said to Wang Yunzhu: "The national thief is ambushed, and Lord Situ has made great contributions, and he is worthy of the pillars of the country." Lord Situ didn't know, after Dong thief's head, the people of Luoyang were all happy, clapping their hands and saying that they were happy, and there were more good people who put the lamp in the eyes of Dong Thief's navel, and the light reached the dawn, and it has been several hours. ”
Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, was one of the first two people contacted by Wang Yun after learning that Cao Cao had succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo.
"Oh, and such wonders? I think that Dong Thief is already angry and resentful, so he is punished by this God. ”
Wang Yun heard the loud daxiao, how could everyone below not take the opportunity to condemn Dong Zhuo and praise Wang Yun, for a while, the words and swords flew together, and the words and swords were everywhere, which was really spectacular.
When the voices gradually stopped, someone spoke with indignation and asked angrily: "The national thief is ambushed, the whole world celebrates, Cai Weng is a prince and a minister, and it is appropriate to be angry, how can he sigh for Dong thief because of a private encounter?" ”
These words were righteous, and everyone looked at them when they heard the sound, and they saw Cai Yong, a famous man who had just arrived in Luoyang, with a red face, shame and anger on his face, and looked at the person sitting at the same table with hatred.
Whether it is from age and prestige, or from the qualifications and official positions, Cai Yong is higher than this person, but Cai Yong is in response to Dong Zhuo's expedition into Luoyang, just arrived in Luoyang, that is, Dong Zhuo first worshiped as a sacrificial wine, and then raised the high, made up for the imperial history, and then transferred to hold the book of the imperial history, and then moved the book, even Dong Zhuo respected, he also reciprocated the peach, and wrote to the then son of heaven Liu Xie, who wanted to respect Dong Zhuo as the master.
Because of this, although Cai Yong's reputation at Wang Yun's family banquet is unparalleled in the sea, he was still deliberately arranged by Wang Yun in an inconspicuous place, and his intentions were clearly revealed.
Wang Yun snorted coldly, the wine bottle in his hand was heavily placed on the desk, and he roared angrily: "Dong Zhuoguo's big thief, a few Han families, how can Bo Jiao cherish his personal experience, and forget the big festival, today he is guilty, and the opposite is painful, isn't it a common rebellion?" Where is Tingwei Zhou, Cai Yong should be punished! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Li Su was even more shocked, he remembered the letter from his fellow villager Lu Bu, which specifically mentioned that he wanted him to try to protect Cai Yong, could it be that he had already arrived at that time, and Cai Yong should have today's misfortune?
But at this time, it is not the time for him to come forward, Cai Yong is in Luoyang, and he has made a lot of old friends, and now I don't know what crime Situ Wang Yun and Tingwei Zhou Yu will treat Cai Yong, and they want to help, but they don't know how to start.
After this trouble, when everyone drank the wine, they were much more cautious in their words, for fear that if they talked too much after drinking, they would lose too much, so that the atmosphere in the hall, no matter how the host Wang Yun toasted, never returned to the original high level.
At the end of the night, Li Su was drunk, and what he was worried about now was how long he, Guangluxun, could still be in office.
On the night of Dong Zhuo's death, in Luoyang City, he, a tiger general, suddenly became very important, judging the situation, he conformed to Wang Yun's wishes, and his official position was raised to a higher level, and the official worshiped Guangluxun. But now he has come to his senses, once the scholar led by Wang Yun returns to the court, he, Guangluxun, seems to have a lot of real power, but as long as there is a holy decree, he has to hand over the military power in his hand, and he is abandoned by them.
Li Su sighed secretly along the way, thinking about it, he still didn't have an idea, he still felt that Lu Bu didn't take this opportunity to lead the army to come, it was extremely unwise, but now he feels that Lu Bu jumped out of the whirlpool of Luoyang like this, with heavy troops in his hands, and he didn't worry that the court would not worship him as the pastor of the state.
As soon as I returned to the house, before I wiped my face with the hot water brought by the maid, someone came to report that the messenger from Hedong had arrived.
Li Su's mind was still a little dizzy, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, the messenger from Hedong was not sent by Lu Bu.
When he saw the messenger, he asked a few simple questions, and then he sent the messenger down to rest, and sat alone behind the desk in the study, and began to read Lu Bu's letter by bright lamps and candles.
After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then his blood surged, and his face showed ecstasy, and he almost got carried away and shouted out because of it.
"His mother's grandmother's, wealth and danger are sought, Dong Gong can do it, why can't I Li Su do it!"
Li Su's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and in the bottom of his heart, he secretly made up his mind and said loudly to himself.
