Chapter Seventy-Six: The Prime Minister's Mansion
For Hu Che'er, Ding Chen likes it very much.
This is a straightforward person, not much fancy and not too ambitious.
With him to follow him, Ding Chen will be very relieved.
Because he knows that Hu Che'er is the kind of character who will not change once he recognizes the master, and he is also very careful in doing things.
"You take the yellow hooves and hide the conjuring spirit."
Ding Chen couldn't refuse Dong Zhuo's invitation, but he had to be prepared.
He still pretended to be weak, vaguely wearing a green shirt, wearing a scarf on his head, a large belt around his waist, hiding three small swords, and only carrying a giant sword with him, and boarded the carriage. Hu Che'er led sixty horsemen to protect and went straight to Chang'an.
"Ziyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how your body is?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo seemed very enthusiastic.
However, Ding Chen found that there was a mess in this prime minister's mansion, and the servants were in and out, very busy.
"These days, the last general can't move due to injuries, and he can't follow the prime minister, and he misses it a lot."
"Hahaha, Ziyang is really polite."
Dong Zhuo looked very happy, which also made Ding Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was secretly observing. There was a lot of chaos in the Prime Minister's House, and there were a lot of people, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Could it be that Dong Zhuo came to me today, just to catch up?
Ding Chen was puzzled in his heart, beat his spirit, and greeted Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo pulled him into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then sat down as the host.
"Today is the day when the new Prime Minister's Mansion is completed.
I've already ordered Feng to prepare over there first, and we'll go over together later.
A certain person has been in Chang'an for most of the time, and now he can be regarded as having a real mansion...... Although this prime minister's house is good, it is someone else's property after all. If it is not a last resort, a certain person is unwilling to forcibly occupy it. Now, I can finally get this place back to Zhao. ”
It turned out that the Prime Minister's House was built!
Ding Chen suddenly showed a look of relief.
Of course he knew about Dong Zhuo's construction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In fact, the Prime Minister's Mansion began to plan and build it as early as after Dong Zhuo moved out of the palace.
Today's Prime Minister's Mansion, although it is gorgeous, is indeed smaller, and it can't bring out Dong Zhuo's style, which also makes him dissatisfied.
At that time, Ding Chen was still working beside Dong Zhuo, so he heard him complain many times, saying that it was really disappointing that he couldn't find a decent prime minister's mansion in the huge Chang'an. Later, Dong Zhuo decided to build a new prime minister's mansion on the site of Jianzhang Palace.
Jianzhang Palace, one of the three palaces of the Han Dynasty, has been destroyed, but the foundation is still there.
The most important thing is that Jianzhang Palace has a large area, a good geographical location, and a landmark scenery of Taiye Pool, which can be described as a very distinctive place in Chang'an. Today, Jianzhang Palace is just a ruin, Dong Zhuo built the Prime Minister's Mansion on the basis of the ruins, but Cai Yong did not object.
Don't think that Cai Yong is really a scholar who doesn't understand anything.
How many simple people can survive the scourge of the party?
In Cai Yong's view, Jianzhang Palace is just a palace built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later, although it is one of the three palaces of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, it is much lower than the level of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace. In addition, the Jianzhang Palace was destroyed and has long ceased to exist. Dong Zhuo rebuilt the Prime Minister's Mansion on the site of Jianzhang Palace, and Yu Lifa may be a little inconsistent, but he really can't say anything.
He's good enough!
When he first arrived in Chang'an, he drove Dong Zhuo out of Weiyang Palace.
And Dong Zhuo also gave him face, not only did he blame him, but he was courteous, which also made Cai Yong feel a little grateful to Dong Zhuo.
In this case, he could only shut up and pretend not to see it.
"The new Prime Minister's Mansion has already been built?"
Ding Chen showed a surprised expression and got up to say hello.
However, he was a little strange in his heart, why did this Dong Zhuo only call him?
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "This is not a happy event.
However, Ziyang is happy to a certain way, which is not wrong. Speaking of which, there was indeed a great joy today. ”
"Please also make it clear to the Prime Minister."
Dong Zhuo said: "Changsha guards Sun Jian too much, and it will be no stranger to Ziyang if you want to come." ”
Ding Chen was stunned and nodded instinctively.
"The prime minister said that Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai?"
"Exactly."
"How could the last general be a stranger to him?
The battle of Xingyang, isn't it this Sun Jian's repeated miraculous feats. First, Sun Bofu killed Hu Zhen, and Sun Jian designed to kill the governor of Huaxiong and break through the Yangren Pass. It's a pity that during the Battle of Xingyang, he was tired from repeated battles, so he never went to Xingyang. To tell the truth, if Sun Jian was also in Xingyang at that time, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous. ”
Ding Chen hadn't seen Sun Jian, but he couldn't stop him from appreciating Sun Jian.
And his attitude made Dong Zhuo nod again and again.
"Ziyang knows that Sun Jian is dead!"
"Ahh
Ding Chen was taken aback, and looked up at Dong Zhuo in shock.
Dong Zhuo didn't realize it, and sighed and said, "I want to be at the beginning, the princes united."
To tell the truth, what Eryuan, what Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Miao and the like, they are not afraid at all. However, among the princes, there is only one person who is afraid, and that is Sun Jian and Sun Wentai. He is brave, has a strong temperament, and can also use people, and is quite strategic.
In the Liangzhou Rebellion that year, a certain and Zhou Shen went to Jincheng to crusade against Bian Zhang and Han Sui.
A certain once asked the lieutenant Zhang Wen for instructions, hoping to lead his troops to be stationed in the rear and be a follow-up for Zhou Shen to be a precautionary measure, but Zhang Wen refused to listen. So, a certain wrote a book, explaining the pros and cons, and asserting that Zhou Shen would not succeed...... Zhang Wen still didn't listen, but asked a certain crusade to kill Xian Lingqiang, thinking that he could pacify Xiliang in one battle...... Hehe, fortunately, at that time, a certain was on guard and ordered Sima Liu Jing of the other department to be stationed in Stability. At that time, Xian Lingqiang wanted to cut off a certain retreat, but found that there were soldiers and horses stationed in Anding, thinking that there was an ambush, so he hurriedly did not dare to confront a certain head-on, so he hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield. ”
Dong Zhuo's interest seemed to be very high.
He kept telling Ding Chen about his past deeds, which also made Ding Chen even more strange.
What does this have to do with Sun Jian?
However, before he could ask, Dong Zhuo said to himself: "At that time, Sun Jian was also ordered to enter Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and he was Zhou Shen's subordinate. At that time, he also offered advice to Zhou Shen, saying that he was willing to lead 10,000 troops to arrive in Jincheng first, and let Zhou Shen lead 20,000 troops to be stationed behind, thinking that he would respond. There is not much food in Zhangcheng over there, and grain needs to be transported from outside. In this way, they must be afraid of Zhou Shen's follow-up soldiers and horses, and dare not fight with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian can take the opportunity to cut off the grain route.
If Sun Jian's strategy was adopted, maybe the Liangzhou Rebellion could be quickly quelled.
It's a pity that Zhou Shenxiao'er didn't listen to Sun Wentai's plan, and Zhang Wen refused to use my plan, so he was defeated and returned, and even lost control of Liangzhou for a time......
At that time, Sun Jian was a Zuojun Sima, so he had such insight, and his excellence can be seen. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo suddenly burst into tears.
Ding Chen was so shocked by his behavior of crying for a while and laughing for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Why is the prime minister crying?" ”
"I'm crying Wentai, I'm jealous of talents, it's a pity."
After speaking, he laughed and said: "Ziyang, and today, as soon as Sun Jian dies, I will no longer have anyone to fear!" ”
He smiled merrily, without the slightest hint of sadness.
Ding Chen was a little stunned, on the side, he didn't know what to say.
Dong Zhuo laughed for a while, and finally stopped.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Ding Chen and said, "Ziyang, can you know who Sun Jian died at?" ”
"Well, I don't know."
"The person who killed him was Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu.
He was ordered by Liu Biao to fight Sun Jian...... It was also that Sun Jian's life was great, and he was shot by him with a cold arrow. ”
"In this way, that Huang Zu is a ruthless character."
"Whether it's a ruthless character, I don't know.
However, according to an inquiry, after Sun Jian's death, there was no trace of the jade seal. ”
"Huh?"
In fact, people say that Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country in Luoyang, and he is convinced of it at the beginning.
But later, I felt strange again...... Ziyang, I won't tell you, I often feel ashamed these days, and I really looked away at that time, thinking that King Hongnong was unbearable, so I deposed him. But judging from his later series of means, he was quite thoughtful. It's just that he didn't want to inherit the throne, so he faked his death and got out, and a golden cicada came out of his shell. ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes showed a trace of gloomy aura, which made Ding Chen chuckle in his heart.
"However, King Hongnong may really have no attachment to the throne, but with his mind, how can he not have a successor?
Therefore, a certain person didn't believe it, and Sun Jian really got the jade seal.
Invite Ziyang to come today, one is to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a certain to drink, and the other is to ask Ziyang to think about it, if the jade seal has been in the hands of King Hongnong, where will he hide the jade seal of the country? ”
A cool breath runs from the tailbone along the back of the spine to the top of the head.
Ding Chen forced a smile and said: "The prime minister said that he was laughing, how would the last general know?" ”
"Haha, speaking of which, King Hongnong believes in Ziyang so much that he even entrusts his wife to him, and he is also very familiar with Ziyang.
Ziyang just think about it, the heirloom jade seal will be hidden there.
It doesn't matter, Ziyang doesn't need to worry...... When the banquet is over, it's not too late to tell me the answer. ”
Ding Chen instincted, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Dong Zhuo's words undoubtedly showed that he already knew that the jade seal of the country was in his hands Ding Chen.
However, maybe he really liked Ding Chen, so he didn't persecute him too much. However, Ding Chen knew that after today's banquet, if he didn't hand over the heirloom jade seal, Dong Zhuo's patience with him would probably be exhausted.
Then......
Ding Chen's hand couldn't help but put it on the giant sword beside him.
At this time, he had completely lost his sense of proportion and was in turmoil.
What to do?
The best way is to step forward and kill Dong Zhuo.
However, Ding Chen also understood that since Dong Zhuo dared to speak to this point, it meant that he was on guard.
Perhaps, as long as Ding Chen draws his sword out of the sheath, there will be an ambush in all directions.
Thinking of this, Ding Chen's hand slowly let go of the sword again.
"Prime Minister, Wen Hou sent someone to urge, saying that the Prime Minister's Mansion over there has been prepared, please go and check it out."
Just then, a man walked in from outside the lobby.
He was tall and had a burly physique.
Looking at the age, it is about forty years, but the temples are white.
"General Xu."
Ding Chen recognized this person, it was Xu Rong, the general next to Dong Zhuo.
Seeing Xu Rong here, Ding Chen couldn't help but secretly rejoice. If he had made a move just now, I believe Xu Rong would definitely bring someone to rush in.
When he appeared, he was warning Ding Chen not to have bad intentions.
"Oh, since Feng Xian's side is ready, let's go."
Dong Zhuo stood up with a smile, moved his slightly obese body, and came to Ding Chen's side.
"Ziyang, let's go together."
"Yes."
Ding Chen spoke, grabbing the giant sword.
However, at the same time as he picked up the sword, Xu Rong was already between him and Dong Zhuo, intentionally or unintentionally. Although he was smiling, Ding Chen could feel that behind that smile, there was a strong murderous intent hidden. After Ding Chen walked out of the lobby, he saw that in the courtyard, there were 800 ironclad soldiers standing in formation, each with bright armor and swords, and they were murderous.
When I came in just now, I didn't see these ironclads.
Can ...... now
Ding Chen didn't even know where these ironclad soldiers came from.
He followed behind Dong Zhuo, or rather, under heavy surveillance, was escorted in the crowd and walked out of the prime minister's mansion together.
When Hu Che'er saw this posture, he hurriedly stepped forward to speak, but was stopped by the ironclad army.
"Ziyang doesn't have to worry, these ironclad troops are warriors selected from the Xiliang army.
With them, Xiaoxiao will not dare to approach. ”
This is to warn Ding Chen, don't play tricks.
Ding Chen was secretly frightened in his heart, shook his head at Hu Che'er, and signaled him not to be impulsive.
"With the protection of the ironclad army, what is the fear of the last general?
It is better to see which of the prime minister's ironclad army is higher or lower than the trapping soldiers of the last general. ”
"Hahaha, why is it difficult?
If Ziyang has a heart, when his body recovers, he can order your trapper and the ironclad army to go to Liangzhou together, choose one person from each of the two Han Sui and Ma Teng, and compete to see who can win...... I believe that Ziyang will not let a certain person down. ”
This sentence is a pun.
It means to admit Ding Chen and trap the camp, and it also hints that Ding Chen should not live up to his good intentions and make him lose patience.
Following the team, Ding Chen also felt embarrassed.
He believes that Dong Zhuo will never have only this preparation, maybe......
Ding Chen couldn't help but look around, and his eyes finally fell on Dong Zhuo's slightly bloated back, with a pair of thick eyebrows, frowning.
