Chapter XXIV
Since the fire in Age and Ding Chen's confinement, Cao's mansion has been full of gloom.
Now, Ding Chen is back!
Cao Fu immediately changed his appearance and became beaming.
Mrs. Ding lifted her spirits again, cooked herself, and wanted to cook a delicious meal for Ding Chen.
She knew that Ding Chen liked to eat Jiankou sheep, so she took Cao Ang out and went to Beishi to buy meat. Of course, Cao Fu Xinzha guarded Hu Che'er, and he also had to follow, not only responsible for protecting Mrs. Ding's mother and son, but also playing the role of coolies.
In this regard, Hu Cheer was not very dissatisfied.
Ding Chen was the only one left in the house, so he came to the bedroom alone and took out the seven-star knife.
What does my brother-in-law mean by that?
He hurriedly stabbed, but left the Seven Star Knife behind, did he want to remind himself of something? Or what clue does it represent?
Yes!
It's so profound, it's so difficult......
Although he didn't sleep all night, Ding Chen was not sleepy.
He sat in the bedroom for a while, put away the seven-star knife, and walked around the backyard of Cao's mansion alone.
Until, Mrs. Ding is back!
"Uncle, it's scary outside."
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Ding was cooking in the kitchen and called Hu Che'er to help.
Hu Che'er can't cook, but he has a good ability to kill sheep. Mrs. Ding bought a whole sheep, but if she wanted to shabu the meat, she needed Hu Che'er's help.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Ang became Ding Chen's little tail.
"When I came back, I happened to meet the bandits of the state army.
Those merger state troops brought back a lot of heads, bloody ...... It is said that it was caught by the bandits in Xiamapo last night. But I've heard that those are not bandits, but ordinary people who have descended from the slope. Uncle, and the state army is so cruel. ”
Ding Chen pretended to be surprised, but secretly admired in his heart.
None of them are fuel-efficient lamps!
If the real murderer jumped out and said that it was not a bandit, but a servant of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui's death would not be able to be covered up, and it would inevitably fall on Dong Zhuo's head. Therefore, he did not come out to identify, but spread rumors about the ordinary people who went off the slope.
In this way, if Jia Xu wants to track down, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
You have a good plan, I have a wall.
These people play with stratagem and means, and they are really powerful...... Ding Chen felt that if it was him, he might have been played to death a long time ago.
Terrible, really terrible!
"Don't be afraid, those people are actually bandits."
"How does Uncle know?"
Ding Chen stretched out his hand, rubbed Cao Ang's head melon seeds, and said softly: "Because, the person who killed those bandits is Uncle." ”
"Huh?"
So, what you see and hear is not necessarily the truth.
In the future, Ang must remember that many things in this world must not be easily judged from the surface, and the mystery must be understood. ”
Cao Ang, it seems that he understands or not.
"Let's go, Uncle will take you to see the sheep slaughter.
In the evening we eat delicious shabu-shabu...... Ha, Jiankou sheep, I suddenly miss the old Zhang's sheep soup. ”
"Hee-hee, I ate it yesterday."
"It's so unrighteous, Uncle didn't eat it, but Ang secretly went to eat it."
"I didn't go secretly...... And when Ang ate mutton soup, he also thought about his uncle, so he ate a bowl for his uncle. ”
"Hahaha, what a cunning little fox!"
Ding Chen picked up Cao Ang, laughed and walked towards the kitchen.
And Cao Ang hugged Ding Chen's neck, and a bright smile appeared on that face.
What's the big deal about a bloody human head? With Uncle Ang by his side, even if the sky falls, Ang is not afraid!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In Cao's house, there was laughter and laughter.
But in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are indeed gloomy clouds.
Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and creaked.
His hands were clenched into fists, and his majestic body trembled even more...... He was not cold, nor was he afraid, but inexplicably angry.
Why, why do you refuse to cooperate when I want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty?
At noon, Cao Xuan and Jia Xu came back to report the results, which surprised Dong Zhuo.
However, before Dong Zhuo could react, he heard an even more shocking news...... Dongjun guarded Qiao Mao, and he didn't know how to get an edict to spread the word to the world and crusade against Dong Zhuo.
The day the edict was issued, the day after Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, was killed.
In just a few days, there were Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, a total of ten princes responded. If you add the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, it is a whole eleven princes......
Eleventh road princes, from the Bohai Sea to Shanyang.
How could a decision be made in just a few days if it had not been agreed in advance?
At least, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, it is simply impossible.
The most bizarre thing is that the content of the edict is to avenge Liu Wei. Just kidding, Liu Wei was just killed, and Qiao Mao found out the next day?
Linked to the murder of Liu Wei, Dong Zhuo can be sure that this is definitely a plan.
Killed Liu Zhuo, and then in the name of revenge for Liu Bian, he crusaded against Dong Zhuo.
After killing Dong Zhuo, they could justifiably assist the new emperor and become the heroes of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. And he, Dong Zhuo, will become notorious because of this, become a national thief, and a national thief who kills the king, and is accused and insulted by the people of the world.
The reason?
He is not a member of the party, let alone a child of the family, but from Liangzhou.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There was an unparalleled anger in that laughter.
"Lord, rest your anger!"
"Rest the rage...... The eight lambs have already hit my door, and you want me to calm my anger? Are you waiting for those guys to cut off my head before you say anything else? ”
As Dong Zhuo spoke, he stood up and kicked over the desk in front of him.
"All along, I have had the dream of serving the imperial court and rejuvenating the Han family.
I finally got to this point, but those people didn't want to see me succeed. Why? Why? I'm already working on it! I support the new emperor, I reduce taxes, I issue large sums of money, I appease the people, and I am a corporal.
But why, in the end, they still don't want to accept me!
I have come to tell you, because I am from Liangzhou, because I am a son of a poor family, because I do not read much, because I am vulgar, because I want to please the ten permanent servants for the future, because I am not one of them, so they oppose me. ”
Dong Zhuo waved his fists like an angry lion.
In the lobby, everyone was silent.
However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised troops in Daze Township and almost overthrew the tyrannical Qin.
They shouted, the prince will Xiangning have a kind of? Emperor Gaozu, but the chief of Pei County, slashed the snake and raised troops, overthrew the tyrannical Qin, defeated Xiang Ji, and established the Han Dynasty for 400 years. They can all do great things, so why can't I? ”
Just because Chen Sheng and Wu Guang chanted 'The prince will be Xiangning', once you sit in the country, how can you tolerate your rise?
Everyone understands this truth in their hearts, but they can't say it.
Dong Zhuo roared for a while, and finally calmed down.
He sat down again, his eyes scanning the crowd with a solemn expression.
"Alright, now that they're coming, what do you have to do?"
"Prime Minister, Bohai Yuan Benchu, Runan Yuan Highway, are all valued by the Prime Minister and treated like guests.
At the beginning, Yuan Benchu drew his sword against the prime minister, and then fled to Jizhou. The prime minister did not care about the past suspicions, but entrusted Bohai Taishou with the post. Yuan Highway had no merit, but the prime minister remembered the reputation of the Yuan family and his post as a general. The prime minister's generation of the Yuan family is not thin, but Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway were their own selfishness, and they rebelled, not caring for the safety of the elderly, which was really a villain's trip.
Gu, Confucianism implored the prime minister to kill Yuan Kui Manmen to deter Xiaoxiao.
Then he raised all his troops and horses, stuck to Xingyang and Chenggao, and fought a decisive battle with them...... The thief who comes from afar will not be able to last. And we are in danger of being strong, and we can keep the enemy out. As long as it drags on for some time, the thief will not be able to continue to make trouble.
At that time, the prime minister can divide them and then break them down.
In this way, Luoyang is safe, and the Han River is safe. ”
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Ru stepped forward.
At a critical time, it is still your own people who are reliable! After all, he is a son-in-law, so he will do his best for me......
Dong Zhuo's gaze softened a lot, and he glanced at Li Ru with appreciation.
However, before Li Ru finished speaking, another person stood up and said loudly: "Prime Minister, Li Zhonglang's plan is inappropriate." ”
"What did Deyu say about this?"
The person who spoke was named Wu Qiong, a native of Runan.
Dong Zhuo respected him a lot and entrusted him with the position of captain of the city gate.
Wu Qiong said loudly: "Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third duke, and his virtue is very long, and he has the reputation of 'Eight Jun'.
Although he responded, he was afraid that he would be bewitched and worried about the temple. Although the prime minister is dedicated to the Han Dynasty, after all, he has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and the world does not know the prime minister's ambitions. The primordial, highway, and even the princes of all walks of life were all masters and loyal to the imperial court. Since the prime minister is seeking for the great man, why not confess and intersect with him frankly, so that he knows the prime minister's aspirations.
If the troops are forcibly used and the soldiers are together, the lives will be ruined, and the reputation of the prime minister will not be damaged? ”
"Then according to your meaning, should I open the city pass, let them garrison outside Luoyang City, and have a glass of wine with them?"
"In this way, it can be shown that the prime minister is open-minded and has a clear conscience!"
"I'm worthy of you, a bastard."
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he scolded, pointed at Wu Qiong and said, "I thought that at the beginning, Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang, and I intended to kill him."
It's you who persuade me to 'abolish the big thing, it's very human's reach.' Yuan Shao is not up to the general situation, and he runs away in fear, and he has no other ambitions'. It's also you, what do you say, 'Yuan Shuen IV, the world's famous officials all over the world, if you collect heroes to gather disciples, and heroes rise up, then Shandong is not owned by me, it is better to pardon it'......
It was precisely because I listened to your advice that I pardoned Yuan Shao, and even more so with him.
But how could Yuan Shao ever have a few words of gratitude?
Now, he is even more rebellious, do you want me to let them go to Luoyang City? Is it that when they arrive in the city, you will join them in and out, and then my head will become your meritorious work and achievement? ”
Dong Zhuo was furious!
In fact, after entering Luoyang, he has always been very respectful of the party.
Whether it is Zhou Yu or Wu Qiong, as long as they say something, Dong Zhuo will never shirk it at all, and agree to it.
The reason why he did this is because he knows that these people have great energy and real talents.
He wants to use the strength of the party to stabilize the situation and rely on them to govern the world......
After all, the old department of Liangzhou was mostly fierce generals on the battlefield. It is okay to march and fight, but if it is said to govern the world, it is insufficient.
Even his son-in-law, Li Ru, is the same.
You can fight the world right away, but you can't rule the world right away.
If you want to prosper the Han family, but it is definitely not possible to rely on him Dong Zhuo alone, and more people need to cooperate with him and work together.
So, he retreated step by step; So, he responds to his needs.
But now it seems that these party members clearly regard him as a clown, and his corporal Lixian as a joke.
Dong Zhuo's face was hideous, and his eyes revealed a terrifying murderous intent.
Okay, good...... I want to work with you, but you treat me like a mustard.
In that case, what use do I want from you?
The action has been restless these days.
Now that Wu Qiong's words were even more angry, the original stubborn dream, but the assassin became a little blurred.
"Come on, take Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu down for me.
The assassination of King Hongnong must be related to these two people, and I will be tortured so that he can recruit his comrades in Luoyang. Since you don't know what to do, then don't blame me for being ruthless. If you refuse to confess, you will give me a heavy punishment and serve me, and you don't have to be polite. ”
While speaking, Lu Bu, who had been guarding behind Dong Zhuo, waved his hand, and the wrestlers outside the door swarmed in and pressed Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi to the ground.
