Chen Yong's three brothers married Jin Lan, and since then, the relationship between Chen Yong, Fang Ming, and Li Meng has taken a step further. And this time, after Li Meng broke off, it would be more reliable for him to send the soldiers to Chang'an in batches. Early the next morning, Chen Yong took Li Meng to the shops in Luoyang City to hand over to the old shopkeeper. In this way, it will be much safer and more convenient for the two to contact each other separately in the future.

Li Meng sent Chen Yong, Fang Ming, and Chen Yiyi, and the silk caravan to Chang'an, all the way to dozens of miles away, before they shed tears and said goodbye. Along the way, since the caravan had already established a relationship with the defenders of the various passes, it was always very peaceful, and only a part of the toll was paid, and it could be unimpeded.

Chen Yong naturally hoped that the road would go so smoothly, but it backfired, and there were still some accidents that day. When the silk caravan came to the Hangu Pass, this Hangu Pass was the Hanhan Valley Pass, also known as the "Han Pass", which was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the third year of Yuan Ding. It is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses in Chinese history with important military roles, and it is also the first pass of the Silk Road!

The "Han" in its name refers to the box, the "valley" refers to the valley, and the meaning of "Hangu" is to use the valley as a box to curb its key points. Hanhan Valley Pass is 60 kilometers away from the Yellow River in the north, Phoenix Mountain in the north, Qinglong Mountain in the south, and the two mountains in the north and south face each other. After the completion of this gate, there are high and thick city walls on the north and south sides extending between the mountains, forming a natural barrier, only through this city gate, can you enter and exit the pass, and set foot on the Silk Road.

Chen Yong and others came to Hangu Pass, and the people guarding the pass were the soldiers of the national thief Dong Zhuo, and they relied on eating and taking cards to increase the daily income of their soldiers. Dong Zhuo had been stationed in front of Hangu Pass for more than two months before withdrawing from Hangu Pass. That is to say, at the beginning of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty in Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, he was not accompanied by Dong Zhuo, but only had Xiliang Iron Ride.

However, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had no soldiers and no power, and there was no civil and military accompaniment of the Manchu Dynasty, but no one dared to risk death to fight with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry to save Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty from fire and water. When Dong Zhuo thought that the interior of the Central Plains was in chaos, and the princes of all walks of life had begun to fight each other. He finally completely relieved his mind, and then withdrew his troops from Hanhan Valley Pass and returned to Chang'an, ready to enjoy Qingfu.

When Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he deliberately ordered Emperor Fu Song to kneel down to greet him in the imperial history, so as to achieve the goal of humiliating him. No matter how arrogant Huangfu Song is, he also knows the truth that people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves. There was no way, in order to be able to accompany the little emperor Liu Xie and find a way to add more righteousness to his courtiers, he had to bow down to Dong Zhuoxing in front of so many soldiers and officials, so that he was satisfied!

Dong Zhuo rode in the Qinggai Jinhua car, and the claws were painted with two pieces, and the people of the time called it "rod motorcycle". He also named his younger brother Dong Min as General Zuo, and his nephew Dong Huang as a lieutenant in the middle and middle military schools, and all the adult cronies inside and outside the clan have entered the court as officials! At that time, Dahan Foundation had been played by Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo saw that even Huangpu Song lowered his noble head and bowed to himself, so he asked the ministers to get out of the car and bow down when they visited him in turn. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo also returned the salute to Cai Yong, these old ministers and celebrities, but in the end, Dong Zhuo was too lazy to return the salute, he was used to this feeling, and everyone was under him.

And in the end, the prefects of all important departments in the imperial court, including Wang Yun, who was ordered by Ren Shangshu, needed to go to Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion to report to him, and every time he had to bow down. At this time, Dong Zhuo almost regarded himself as the "emperor"!

In order to curry favor with him, Dong Zhuo's staff proposed that Dong Zhuo's ability was comparable to Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, and he could be called "Shang's father" in the court. Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong for advice, and Cai Yong persuaded Dong Zhuo that he needed to wait until the rebellion was quelled and returned to Luoyang before discussing the matter.

Two hundred and fifty miles away from Chang'an City, Yixian County and its fiefdom did not build Yiwu, Dong Zhuo's servants and 250,000 people built it: its city is as thick as Chang'an City, with a palace room inside, and a warehouse to store grain for 20 years in case of emergency.

Dong Zhuo selected 800 young beauties among the people to enrich them, and the gold and jade, colored silk, pearls, and agate were piled up in an unknown number, collecting the world's treasures for them to squander. Dong Zhuo himself said: "After I pacified the Kanto, I was already dominating the world!" Even if I get the end, I fail, and I am besieged by the heroes of the world, I can stay in Yiwu and live to the end of my life! ”

Dong Zhuo's family members all live in Yiwu. It goes back and forth between Chang'an, or once every half a month, or once a month, and the ministers are waiting to be sent outside the Hengmen. Dong Zhuo set up a large tent on both sides of the road, and gathered with the ministers to drink, which was not too fast.

One day, Dong Zhuo came out of the Yang Palace, bid farewell to Emperor Han Xian, and went out of the Hengmen. The civil and military officials all went out of the palace to see each other, and Dong Zhuo set up a banquet to stay in the big tents on both sides of the road to drink. Good news came from Shi, saying that it was recruiting soldiers from the north, and a team of hundreds of people had been delivered.

Dong Zhuo immediately ordered people to come to the seat and pull these hundreds of soldiers who had come from the north to the front of all the civil and military officials. Dong Zhuo ordered his subordinates to cut off their hands and feet, or gouge their eyes, or cut off their tongues, or cook them alive in a cauldron in front of the Manchu civil and military forces!

The wails of these hundreds of people shook the sky, and the civil and military officials were stunned, and they were all panicked. Including Cai Yong, he has lost his former majesty. Dong Zhuo looked at these soldiers who were wailing and dying miserably, eating and laughing freely! Dong Zhuo said half-jokingly: "Cai Zhonglang, I'm like this, can I put down the rebellion?" If not, I will let Jean send thousands of rebels to surrender in the future, in front of everyone, can I do it again? ”

Cai Yong knew Dong Zhuo's intentions, and it was because he refused to agree to the name of "Shang's father" that he had the merit of counterinsurgency. Looking at Dong Zhuo's intentions, if he refuses to agree to his name as "Shang's father", he will take the trouble to do the war of counterinsurgency again and again. And this time, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the killing of these hundreds of people is just an appetizer......

Cai Yong said: "Dong Gong's talent is enough to be the name of this 'Shang Father', and there is no need to have this feats to show his ability!" I have seen it, and the civil and military officials have seen it! Please don't do this kind of thing that shocks the world again! ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and walked away! Since then, Dong Zhuo has called himself "Shang's Father", and he has been in and out of the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to say a word to refute his displeasure. Dong Zhuo regards civil and military officials as nothing, and as long as he hears that someone has a troubled heart and does not obey, he will order someone to arrest him, set up a lynching, and arrest his henchmen all over the place!

On another day, Dong Zhuo was a hundred civil and military officials at the Provincial Taiwan Conference and ordered him to sit in two rows. After several rounds of wine, the food passed through the five flavors, Lu Bu went into it, and said a few words to Dong Zhuo's ear, as if there was a confidential matter to tell him. Dong Zhuo smiled: "I see, then arrest this person in public, what are you waiting for?" ”

Looking at Wenhou Lu Bu again, he was already on the feast, grabbed Sikong Zhang Wen, and lifted him up to the hall. All the civil and military officials were shocked, no one could have imagined that Dong Zhuo would take down Sikong Zhang Wen at this time! Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen have a long-cherished wish. Everyone thought that Dong Zhuo ordered him to be the boss, which meant that he would set an example for civil and military officials regardless of his past suspicions, so that everyone could rest assured, but he didn't expect to come, and he would come after all......

After a short time, the attendant put a red plate and put his head into the offering. That Sikong Zhang Wen was obviously abused and killed, his hair stood upright, and he glared angrily, no matter how unwilling he was, what could he do? At this time, his head was already in a different place, and his head was dedicated to Dong Zhuo!

The civil and military officials were so frightened that no one knew who the next victim would be. Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Zhang Wen married Yuan Shu and wanted to harm me." Because he sent a book, he was wrong to be in the first place of my son. Therefore, now it is cut in public, and there is no reason for the public, so there is no need to be afraid! I will only kill those who oppose me! Come on, come on, everyone drink this cup with me again! ”

None of the civil and military officials dared to make a mistake, they all picked up their wine glasses and clinked glasses with Dong Zhuoyao. Dong Zhuo drank it all, and all the civil and military officials also drank the wine in this cup. Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "When you come to me today, you will naturally not get drunk and not return!" Don't worry, I will order someone to escort you back one by one. Come, come, continue to drink this cup with me......"

During Dong Zhuo's reign in Chang'an, he destroyed the five-baht coins that circulated in the market, plus various copper products such as bronze figures in Luoyang and Chang'an, and used them to mint small coins. This kind of small money is very crudely made, and there is not even outline and text, and the people are reluctant to use it, which eventually leads to market disorder and skyrocketing prices.

Dong Zhuo asked Sili Lieutenant Liu Huan to arrest those who were "unfilial to their sons, disloyal to their ministers, unclear officials, and disobedient to their younger brothers", and punished them all by death penalty and confiscation of all property, which led to a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases! Everyone knows that there is injustice there, and there will naturally be resistance there!

It is precisely because of this that Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, ordered Liu He, the son of the great Sima Liu Yu, to take his edict, take his jade pendant, and escape from Chang'an City under the stars. Liu He was sandwiched among these traders who traveled to and from Chang'an, and when Dong Zhuo returned to Yiwu, he escaped from Chang'an City on the same day.

When Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an City and the civil and military officials gathered again, he learned that Liu He had not ascended to the court, so he would naturally send someone to Shizhong Mansion to visit him. Only then did I know that Liu He had been gone for more than half a month! Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered people to copy the Zhongfu. But Liu He is in Chang'an City, one is not married, and the other has no heirs, how can this crime of robbing the family and destroying the nine clans start?

Dong Zhuo only changed his face after he was angry in the court. He said with a pleasant face: "I ordered Liu He to return to the Central Plains and invite his father, Sima Liu Yu, to come to Chang'an to serve." It seems that I am old, and I am so old and confused that I can't even remember this little thing. Come on, Liu He's mansion is the same as ever, and his servants are still the same! The expenses in the house, out of my house, to show my loyalty! ”

It was precisely because of Liu He's escape back to Chang'an that Dong Zhuo was furious, and it was inconvenient to mobilize the army in Chang'an City, but above the border gates, he began to strictly manage the traders! The guard of Nahangu looked at the customs clearance documents handed over by the silk caravan, including the laisee reward, but was unmoved. The general read out the latest management measures of Dong's "Shang Father", and he looked at the carriages and horses of the silk merchants and refused to pass this passage with a smile.

Chen Yong said in his heart: "It's not good, I didn't expect that the method of infiltrating Chang'an that I planned would be unfavorable!" The reason for this turned out to be the sequelae of the eldest prince Liu He's escape from Chang'an. I am really unlucky, if I can't do it this time, then I want to lead two thousand guards to sneak into Chang'an in the future, it can only be a fool's dream. ”

When Chen Yong was in a dilemma, he looked at the merchant selling silk and went to Hangu Pass again. Only this time he took a few people and drove a carriage to go. Chen Yong didn't know what he meant, he just looked into the distance from afar. But seeing that the merchant was talking to the Hangu guard again, and finally ordered someone to carry things down from the carriage several times, the guard finally stopped looking like water.

The merchant came back, beckoned everyone to follow him quickly, and hurried together, passing through Hangu Pass and coming to the territory controlled by Dong Zhuojun......
