Chapter 113: Puppet King Dong Zhuo
"The emperor has died!"
In Luoyang City, the news of Liu Hong's death spread quickly, when Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants were purging the people of the general Dou Wu's family, and the government and the opposition naturally aimed the spearhead at Zhang Rang.
It's just that Zhang Rang was favored by Liu Hong in the past, and his strength was even better, although everyone in Luoyang City was regarded as a grudge for a while, few people dared to really do it.
In the end, under the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager He and the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, He Jin summoned King Dong Zhuoqin of Xiliang by order.
The gale has risen, and all the beasts are frightened.
In addition to this series of changes, Cai Yong and more than a dozen ministers of the DPRK and China were assassinated by Dou Wu but did not succeed, and now the Cai Mansion, who was lucky enough to escape, was not as easy as imagined.
"What's going on now?"
"I heard that Empress Dowager He has ordered someone to summon Dong Zhuo from Xiliang back, and there is no movement on Zhang Rang's side."
"What can those eunuchs do, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Liu Hong is dead, and they won't be majestic for long."
Between the words, behind the yellowed window paper, two figures were reflected in the flickering candlelight.
In the room, Cai Wenji, who had long hair like a waterfall and a body like a willow, stood respectfully aside, guarding an old man with gray hair sitting on the Taishi's chair.
Perhaps because he was in his own house, the old man did not wear a crown, and he was only wearing a gray robe, and he simply pulled a crown bun, which looked faintly Confucian.
Although his hair is gray, he doesn't see any wrinkles and age spots on his face, and he thinks it's just too hardworking, so he is bald in his prime.
Cai Wenji stood aside, seeing the old man's deep eyebrows, and cautiously tentatively.
"What does Father mean?"
"Do we still have a choice?"
Cai Yong sighed, picked up the teacup on the table, and just wanted to stagger the cup and take a sip of hot tea, but he never thought that the cup was long gone.
Seeing this, Cai Wenji was very clever and picked up the small red clay tea stove in the corner of the table.
The warm tea in the tea stove had cooled, and it was obvious that the conversation between the two in this room had taken some time.
She tilted her head and tinkered with the charcoal in the tea stove, taking advantage of this, Cai Yong looked at her precious daughter, and a little warmth flashed in her originally indifferent eyes.
He had a son in his later years, and the eldest daughter of the two daughters was his favorite one, not only because of her talent, but also because of her gentle temperament, which was very in line with his old Confucian perception.
Thinking about Cai Wenji's future life, Cai Yong closed his eyes and sighed again.
"Time is also fate. Yan'er, now that chaos is about to arise in the world, your father is incompetent, and you can only rely on yourself in the future. ”
“……”
Cai Wenji's hand trembled when she heard this, and she was almost burned by the charcoal fire, and she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
When the father and daughter were hesitating, in the wing room east of Cai's mansion, a burst of laughter broke the silence of the night.
In the gauze curtain decorated with brocade, Cai Yingxuan smiled with crooked eyebrows, looking quite good-looking, but the person in front of her didn't have a good face.
"Have you had enough?"
"Later, I'll draw you another one."
As she spoke, the brush in Cai Yingxuan's hand swiped it on the inkstone on the side, and she turned around and wanted to draw two strokes on Chen Jue, but she didn't expect Chen Jue to stand up.
The muscular figure looks like Michelangelo's sculpture, but now he has a few more rabbit ears and a cat face.
"What are you up for? Hurry up and give me ......."
"What for you? When will I really clean you up and make you unable to shout, do you believe it or not? ”
"Yo he~ You little eunuch doesn't have a long memory?"
As she spoke, Cai Yingxuan took a step forward and directly pushed Chen Jue.
Obviously, it seems that Chen Jue is so strong, but he didn't expect to be pushed by her for a while, and he didn't even dare to fight back.
Looking at his submissive appearance, the corners of Cai Yingxuan's mouth raised slightly, and she sneered unabashedly, scribbled twice on him, and sneered.
"If I hadn't kept you, did you know you would have died? is obviously a little eunuch who has no ability, but he has the Confucianism and Taoism fire that I have never had. If it weren't for me, you would have been dug out by my sister by now. ”
"That's just because it's not time yet, and you think she'll listen to what you say?"
“……”
When she talked about this, Cai Yingxuan's face sank, and she didn't even know how to say a rebuttal.
Since she was a child, she has lived under the aura of her sister, whether it is poetry or melody, Cai Wenji always seems so talented and intelligent, so for a long time she and Cai Yong talked, Cai Yingxuan couldn't answer, and over time she gradually became estranged.
Now that I really want to talk about it, Cai Yingxuan really doesn't know what Cai Wenji thinks in her heart, so naturally she can't talk about being able to protect Chen Jue.
Chen Jue was so scheming, as soon as he saw that her face was wrong, he guessed what she was thinking, turned his head to look outside the door, and saw that there was no one, so he said tentatively.
"If you don't want me to die, you'd better let me go now."
"I didn't tie you up, you little eunuch is so capable, go out by yourself?"
Cai Yingxuan sneered when she heard what he said, saying that she had no talent, and her little brain was really clever.
Chen Jue knew that he couldn't move her, so he was relieved, sat directly on the wooden couch next to him, and asked casually.
"I heard gongs and drums in the city a few days ago, what happened?"
"The Emperor is dead."
"Emperor?! Which emperor? ”
"Who else can you not know Your Majesty today?"
"Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty?!"
Listening to Chen Jue call out Liu Hong's nickname, Cai Yingxuan glanced at him in a little surprise, but before she could ask more, she saw Chen Jue's face turned pale and said to herself.
"The Spirit Emperor is dead? Then Dong Zhuo should be in Luoyang soon...... I have to get out of here...... Gotta go! ”
"Walk your head! If you dare to run, I'll break your dog's legs!" ”
Before Chen Jue finished speaking, Cai Yingxuan stepped forward and patted his head, saying that the words were full of threats, but in fact, he didn't really do anything.
It's just that she was just joking, but Chen Jue's face didn't mean to joke.
No one can accept the occasion in Luoyang's mess, Dong Zhuo is a capable person, and he hopes to beat the Luoyang ministers with his own strength and stabilize the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that this Han Dynasty has been separated from virtue for a hundred years, the young emperor is young, even if he Dong Zhuo can hold it for a while, he can't control it for a lifetime, these family gates will always have thousands of reasons to do it to him, and Luoyang will be indispensable to bloody wind and rain at that time.
What's more critical is that now Chen Jue has no time to waste.
"Recruit troops, open up bases, time is running out, we can't delay any longer!"
Thinking of this, Chen Jue's eyes were red, but Cai Yingxuan was startled, and she covered her chest in anticipation and fear, and said hurriedly.
"Little gelding, what do you want to do!"
