Chapter 60: Untitled (I)
Sister A's forgiveness made Ding Chen's mood much easier.
However, this also made him more determined, he must fortify Sister Ah and Cao Ang to leave Chang'an safely.
The water in Chang'an is too muddy!
On the first day he came back, Ding Chen clearly felt the strange atmosphere hidden in the air.
On the second day of the Bailiangtai banquet, Ding Chen's name of 'righteous man' spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
This also added a lot of trouble to Ding Chen, and for a while, in front of the Ding Mansion in Jieshuipi, it became lively, and many people came to visit Ding Chen, but they were all politely rejected by Ding Chen. He is not the man who sells fame, he is quiet by nature, and he doesn't like the noisy atmosphere. So on the third day, he left Dingfu, accompanied Cai Yong's father and daughter, and took a few boys to Zhongnan Mountain to find a secluded view. In this way, people's enthusiasm has been more or less dampened.
After all, the end of the year is coming!
On the day that Ding Chen entered the mountain, Li Wei led his troops to leave Chang'an and return to his station.
Because he also saw that it was impossible for Ding Chen to change his mind.
Since this is the case, then there is little point for him to stay in Chang'an, and continuing to stay here is just being ridiculed.
The third day has passed!
Ding Chen didn't go home!
Dong Zhuo knew that Ding Chen would not change his mind.
This made him feel a little unhappy, but he had a good impression of Ding Chen.
At this time, Dong Zhuo had already moved the Prime Minister's Mansion out of the Yang Palace. However, the new Prime Minister's Mansion has not yet been completed, so he can only choose a relatively gorgeous mansion as a temporary residence, which is not too far from the Weiyang Palace.
"Wen You thinks, how is this Ding Ziyang?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo looked casual and asked Li Ru.
Li Ru couldn't help but pinch his teeth a little, and said, "I don't understand this person."
Actually, I once heard Wen He say one thing...... When the prime minister ordered him to go on an expedition, he promised to grant him a request. Ding Ziyang actually wanted to take his sister and nephew out of Luoyang, and he didn't want to stay with the prime minister to serve.
But I didn't expect him to make a promise......
Such a person may be a true 'righteous man' as the prime minister said, or he may have great plans and other plans. ”
"In your opinion, which one is he?"
Li Ru was silent!
He didn't know how to answer, or rather, he didn't know the answer.
After a long time, Li Rucai smiled bitterly: "In my opinion, he is more like the former."
But I really don't know about him, so I don't know if what he's showing now is true or false. ”
Dong Zhuo said: "Since this is the case, let's take it as true." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and suddenly the conversation changed, and said, "Wen You, can you make him really serve me?" ”
"Huh?"
Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dong Zhuo in surprise.
He didn't expect that Dong Zhuo still wanted to win him over even though he knew that Ding Chen had other intentions.
But when you think about it, it seems to make sense.
Dong Zhuo likes brave people, such as Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.
Thinking that at the beginning, Lu Bu surrendered, not because he really wanted to serve Dong Zhuo, but because he came for glory and wealth. Therefore, in comparison, Ding Chen's situation does not seem to be unacceptable, and it is more worth trying to win it over.
Without waiting for him to speak, Dong Zhuo said: "Feng Xianren, the nature of a tiger and a wolf."
Don't look at him and now he is quite respectful to me, but in fact, he has other plans. I now regret a little that after he surrendered, in order to appease him, he did not break up the state army, so that he now has the state army in his hands, and he has faintly achieved the climate.
Ding Ziyang's heart is not here, but he is willing to do his best for me.
In the first battle of Xingyang, I saw the hard work and high achievements...... Li Su also appreciated him very much. Wen You, you know, Li Su is a gentle person on the surface, arrogant in his bones, and strict with others. Even if Lu Bu was a fellow countryman with him, he was very disdainful. After the battle of Xingyang, Li Su returned and praised Ding Ziyang in front of me. ”
When Dong Zhuo said this, he suddenly smiled.
"Wen You, a person whose heart is not here with me, but he does his best for his relatives and for that promise. If he really wants to work for me, why should I worry about it? Besides, he is good friends with Cai Yong, and he is not as vulgar as Lu Bu. ”
The last sentence nakedly showed Dong Zhuo's dislike for Lu Bu.
Li Ru also knew that Dong Zhuo had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu recently, but he had never expressed it so bluntly like today.
If you think about it, it seems normal.
Ding Chen is also a proud person, but he treats people gently, and from the outside, he is easy to get close to.
But Lu Bu showed that pride outside, and he looked arrogant, no one paid attention to him, and even flew high.
In contrast, even Li Ru felt that he liked Ding Chen more.
One hides pride in the bones, and the other shows it out.
What's more, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the abilities of the two, so it's easy to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.
Li Ru closed his eyes and was silent in thought.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Dong Zhuo: "Ziyang is a person, take care of his relatives."
As far as I know, he used to have great respect for Cao Cao. Later, he clashed with Cao Cao one after another, more because he resented him for ignoring his wife's safety, and he felt a sense of hatred because of love. I think that in his heart, his feelings for Cao Cao have not changed. ”
"Huh?"
"I've been thinking about one thing these days."
"What's the matter?"
"Meng Deqi is cunning and resourceful, although he had the temper of a ranger when he was young, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has been much more stable. This person is resourceful, and some clues can be seen from the fact that he personally led his troops and horses this time and attacked Hucheng Pavilion...... To be honest, if Hua Xiong hadn't thrown Ding Chen at Hucheng Pavilion at random at that time, I'm afraid that the battle situation would have changed at this time.
I was thinking, how could such a resourceful person rush to assassinate the prime minister?
Forgive my son-in-law for his courage, if it were me, I would try to send my wife out first, and then let Ding Chen accompany me. In this way, even if the prime minister was aware of it at that time, with Ding Ziyang's bravery, it would be difficult for the prime minister to have a chance to be spared......"
Dong Zhuo suddenly sat up straight, revealing a solemn expression.
He thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's true!" ”
Thinking about the situation that day, if Cao Cao had Ding Chen by his side, he would really be very dangerous.
Li Ru said: "Therefore, the son-in-law felt that Meng De was assassinated that day, I was afraid that he was forced to do it out of desperation, or because he was forced by others, so he had to take the risk of assassination. Prime Minister, you see, after the assassination, he fled in a hurry, and even his family didn't have time to inform him, why did he do it? As far as I know, Meng De and Ziyang's sister are very affectionate, and they can be described as a couple. ”
"What do you mean......"
"I mean, since Meng De didn't really want to assassinate the prime minister, and he was quite talented, why didn't the prime minister reward him?"
These words changed sharply, which caught Dong Zhuo off guard.
But when you think about it, it seems to make sense.
"Wen You, don't go around in circles, it's okay to say it directly."
"If the prime minister wants to win over Ding Chen, he can actually use Cao Cao to be good to him.
I heard that he used to live in Tobu Yang Castle and recruited a lot of soldiers, horses and strong men.
Some time ago, Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu was killed, and Liu Dai activated Cao Cao to pacify the Black Mountain thieves...... Why didn't the prime minister take this opportunity to send someone to send a letter and formally appoint Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, on the one hand, so that he could justifiably pacify the Black Mountain thieves, and on the other hand, he could show favor to Cao Cao and show the generosity of the prime minister; Third, it can also make the princes of Shandong dissatisfied with him.
At that time, he was excluded by the princes of Shandong, and he had to rely on the prime minister.
In this way, Ding Chen will naturally serve the prime minister sincerely......"
I have to say that Li Ru has real talent and real learning.
In a short period of time, he came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone, which made Dong Zhuo feel very satisfied, and nodded his head again and again.
"Wen You's plan is very good, according to what you say.
However, a Dongjun Taishou is inevitably a little stingy, adding a Fei Tinghou to Cao Cao! I remember that his grandfather was Fei Tinghou at the beginning, so he let him inherit Fei Tinghou, so as to show my sincerity, what does Wen You think? ”
Fei Tinghou, and the hereditary Fei Tinghou, but it is completely different.
Li Ru is now a little envious of Cao Cao, just because he married a wife and got a brother-in-law, he can hereditary Fei Tinghou?
"Prime Minister, it's really smart."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Whoa!"
Li Ru received the order and bowed down to leave.
Just as he was going out, he suddenly heard Dong Zhuo's deep voice behind him: "Wenyou, the matter of Weiyang Palace is over, but I hope that you will not make decisions in the future." I know what you think, but I have my plans. ”
Li Ru was a chilling cicada, and his feet followed closely behind.
It was not Li Ru's idea to let Dong Zhuo set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Weiyang Palace.
But he is a scholar, how can he not know the meaning of Weiyang Palace?
At that time, Dong Zhuo agreed to set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Weiyang Palace, but he really didn't know that etiquette was common. But Li Ru didn't remind him, in fact, in his heart, he didn't have some desires, hoping that Dong Zhuo would one day be able to really ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Now, Dong Zhuo made his words clear, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
He did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.
After Li Ru left, Dong Zhuo slowly stood up and walked out of the study.
Today, the sun is shining, and it is also the last day of the first year of Chuping.
Tomorrow is the New Year, and Ding Chen is still hiding in Zhongnan Mountain, which is equivalent to showing his attitude to Dong Zhuo.
Let Tang Ji go?
It doesn't seem like it has to be!
After King Hongnong died, he also monitored Tang Ji for a period of time, and it can be determined that King Hongnong is really dead, and the jade seal of the country is not in the hands of King Hongnong. Previously, it was rumored that Sun Jian had found the heirloom jade seal in the well of the Luoyang Palace, but Dong Zhuo was suspicious. But now, looking at the actions of the princes, he has some faith in this rumor.
The heirloom jade seal, is it really in the hands of Sun Jian?
When you think about it, it seems normal.
The jade seal of the country has always been kept by the emperor's attendants.
In the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants on that day, the Han Emperor was abducted and left by Zhang Rang, how could he carry the jade seal of the country with him? In other words, the jade seal must have been kept in the hands of the female officials beside him. On that day, the rebels rushed into the palace, and the female official committed suicide by jumping into the well to avoid being humiliated...... Well, that makes sense!
