Chapter 65: The Meaning of Li Ru and Yang Xiu's Existence
Looking at the young son of heaven who was only followed by a young eunuch behind him, Wang Yun's heart felt very sad, and he glanced at Dong Min, who was commanding in front of people, Wang Yun snorted heavily in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart: "Dong thief, I will destroy your whole clan to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”
At this very moment.
Taifu Yuan Kui stood up silently, he looked directly into Dong Min's eyes, and asked, "Since King Hongnong has been harmed by thieves, then may I ask, where is his body?" ”
When Dong Min heard this, he frowned, then pressed the hilt of his sword, took a few steps forward and came to Yuan Kui's face, almost staring at him with Yuan Kui's face, and after a while, Dong Min said coldly: "The thieves are powerful, and after killing people, they set fire to the Hongnong Palace, so the body of the Hongnong King was burned into a pile of charcoal with other people, and now it is impossible to identify." ”
Yuan Kui nodded silently and said, "Dare to ask the general, has King Hongnong's body been properly buried?" ”
Dong Min nodded and said, "King Hongnong is the eldest son of the first emperor, so he should be a good life and a good burial." ”
"Dare to ask the general, where is the body of King Hongnong buried?" Yuan Kui asked.
Dong Min was asked a little impatiently, the key is that King Hongnong is not dead at all, he is worried that if he says too much, he will lose, so he doesn't dare to say too much in front of everyone, and now he sees that Yuan Kui suddenly became a little aggressive, so he waved his hand very irritably, and said: "Everyone in the Hongnong Palace's palace has been burned into a pile of coke, so I have ordered people to bury all of them in the east of Wenling, so that they will be around the first emperor." ”
Yuan Kui still nodded silently and said, "Can I ask for an autopsy on the coffin?" In this way, we can also filter out the Hongnong King's own..."
Before Yuan Kui finished speaking, he saw Dong Min angrily stretching out his hand to him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Mrs. Yuan, are you still finished?" General Ben is doing things, why do I need to explain to you? ”
Yuan Kui smiled slightly, and then retreated silently, he had already got the answer he wanted from Dong Min's words.
Dong Min, who was distraught by Yuan Kui's question, waved his big hand angrily and said, "Retreat." ”
After the ministers retired from the court, Dong Min met Li Su who came to restore his life in front of Weiyang Palace.
Dong Min pulled Li Su aside and asked, "How?" ”
Li Su breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The last general has ordered someone to send the news of King Hongnong's death to the whole country in the form of official documents and reports. ”
"In addition, the last general also deliberately let people walk around in private the news that King Hongnong was killed by the Yellow Turban thief, the official document and the rumors in the market are two-pronged, the news of the death of King Hongnong will soon spread all over the world, the last general deliberately explained in the report, but if anyone dares to act under the banner of King Hongnong, it will be regarded as a rebellion of the court, and the county guards can lead troops to kill it on the spot." Li Ru said.
The word of mouth among the people is much faster than the arrival of the newspaper, because the literacy rate of the ancients is very low, and the people are generally illiterate, so it is more difficult for them to read the official document and arrive at the newspaper than to ascend to the sky, but if it is spread everywhere in the form of gossip, at that time, the news of the death of King Hongnong will soon be able to spread to the ears of the people of the whole country.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the arrival report is for the county officials, and the rumors are for the people.
When Dong Min heard this, he was overjoyed, gave Li Su a thumbs up, and said, "The talent of a virtuous brother is not much better than that of Wenyou." ”
"Just carving insect skills, dare to compete with Wen You? The general is overrated. ”
Li Su said modest words, but the smug expression on his face couldn't be hidden.
Only four days later, the news of King Hongnong's death at the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves slowly drifted into the ears of Liu Wei and the others along with the spring breeze.
After leaving the Wei Mansion, Liu Wei and his entourage pretended to be merchants and slowly marched north with more than a dozen carriages full of supplies.
On this day, everyone came to a guest house not far from the official road to settle down, and Chai Shao deliberately asked Xiao Er to feed some good forage to everyone's war horses.
Liu Wei and the others had a simple bite in the inn, and when they were eating, they happened to hear the conversation between the innkeeper and Xiao Er, and what the two said was the news of the death of King Hongnong.
Tang Ji secretly glanced at Liu Bian, who was immersed in eating, and saw that he looked pampered and not surprised, so she finally put her mind at ease, she approached Liu Bian, and called softly: "King..."
When Liu Wei heard this, he looked up at Tang Ji, and deliberately teased her: "Didn't you always call me Your Majesty a few days ago?" Why did you change your name to me as the Great King now? ”
When Tang Ji heard this, she immediately made a big red face, she was thin-skinned, and she had never done such a thing similar to flirting with others in public, and now seeing Liu Wei making fun of herself in public, she was so ashamed that she couldn't find a crack to drill into.
Seeing this, Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Dong thief is treacherous, this plan is very poisonous, Your Majesty must not take it lightly." ”
Liu Wei pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said, "If it were me, I would have made the same decision as Dong Thief." ”
"As soon as the news comes out, Your Majesty's legitimacy will be dealt an extremely heavy blow, and Your Majesty must not be on guard." Lei Wanchun said.
After eating and drinking, Liu Wei silently put down the chopsticks, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Xiu and Li Ru, and said, "Do you know why they don't speak?" ”
When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes to the two who were eating with their heads down.
Zhang Xun smiled slightly, he had already guessed Liu Bian's intentions, so he gave Liu Bian a thumbs up with admiration on his face, and praised him sincerely: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"We can't always count on others, we need to work hard ourselves." Liu Wei said.
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu and the others had gradually figured out the key point, Yuwen Chengdu slowly spoke, and said: "Wen You and Dezu, one is Dong Zhuo's confidant and strategist, and the other is the son of the family who was born in the family of the fourth and third princes, and the meaning of their existence is to prove to the world the legitimacy of His Majesty's identity. ”
When Yang Xiu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, he looked up at Yuwen Chengdu, and said unkindly: "What is this?" ”
"If we can't prove the identity of King Hongnong, then there is no point in our existence?" Yang Xiu looked directly into Yuwen Chengdu's eyes and let out a torture sentence from the soul.
Yuwen Chengdu nodded without hesitation, and said, "If you can't prove Your Majesty's identity to the world, then why are you left?" Eat rice? ”
When Li Ru heard this, he also seemed a little unhappy, he stretched out his hand and pointed at himself with a displeased face, and said, "I am the first strategist under Dong Zhuo, how dare you look down on me like this?" ”
Yuwen Chengdu pursed his lips disdainfully, sneered and said: "I don't care if you are the first strategist, and you have not made any suggestions for Your Majesty, what kind of big-tailed wolf is you here." ”
Yuwen Chengdu saw that Li Ru still wanted to say more, so he immediately picked up the horsewhip, pointed at Li Ru angrily, and said: "If you dare to be rash again, Lao Tzu will whip you." ”
Seeing this, Li Ru shook his head with a smile, and swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.
