Chapter 9: Go Home

Chang'an Changle Palace.

Although this former center of the world has been renovated, it still looks dilapidated, and there is no trace of the imperial city atmosphere at all.

Especially for the children of the royal family who have lived in Luoyang City since childhood.

In the palace, Liu Wei has sat on the main seat, and with the support of Dong Zhuo, he has become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie has been named the king of Chen Liu, just a false name.

Chang'an, the imperial court, is all Dong Zhuo's people from top to bottom, this is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

This is completely the Chang'an Imperial Court formed by the Xiliang Army in a different guise.

Dong Zhuo, as a courtier who supported Liu Wei's ascendancy, was named a county marquis.

The county marquis was not precious in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was very generous to his old brothers, and the marquis of the later Han Emperor was also a county marquis, the difference was only in the big county and the small county.

The only exception is the Marquis of Wushuang, which is an exception in the distant frontier.

Taifu and Shang Shuling, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as a step to the pinnacle of life.

It's just that this is far from meeting the requirements of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, what he wants is a regent above 10,000 people, and what Li Ru wants is the ability to change the world.

In the hall, Dong Zhuo went up to the hall without scruples, sitting on the left, Luo Kong kneeled on the right in a robe, Dong Zhuo looked at Luo Kong and smiled: "Is the Wushuang Marquis going to follow His Majesty to Luoyang?" ”

Dong Zhuo still looked like a kind fat man when his face was not hideous, but his current performance did not show that he had been with Luo Kong for life and death, and even almost cut Luo Kong with a knife.

Luo Kong was deeply guarded in his eyes, and said indifferently: "I always have to accompany Your Majesty." ”

Dong Zhuo glanced at Luo Kong deeply, stood up and said, "Then the Peerless Marquis must protect Your Majesty well, and this prince will arrive later with King Chen Liu." ”

After speaking, he saluted Liu Zhuo, and then left the hall directly, the guards in the hall were all dressed in iron armor, all of them were Dong Zhuo's people, and they could be said to be extremely cautious.

Li Ru walked at the end, walked very slowly, and then turned his head in front of the palace gate, he completely ignored Liu Wei, and asked directly to Luo Kong: "Wushuang Hou, you are from the Luo clan, you must also hate those wealthy nobles who have brought disaster to the country and the people, why don't you want to join us and create a new world?"

In this new world, Rockwell will not change, it will still be brilliant. ”

Luo Kong looked at Li Ru with a complicated face, every time he saw Li Ru, he understood more and more why the family has always emphasized that virtue is more important than talent, and the danger of these geniuses doing evil is too great.

There is also a clear upward channel, these people who can change the world are not willing to be subservient.

If the court does not want it, they will flow to the place; If they don't want any more places, they will go out to other nations; rebellion to overthrow the imperial court; Even the extreme one went directly to the foreign tribe to counterattack the Central Plains.

When the Xiongnu became stronger, it had a lot to do with the defection of the Han people.

It is always said that Xiucai rebelled for three years, but it was terrible for Xiucai to assist in the rebellion, look at Li Ru, Dong Zhuo, a prince who can compete for the world, has been cultivated in more than ten years.

How many people like Li Ru are there in the world?

How many of them are in the hands of the imperial court? The decay of the Han family is really not unjust.

Hearing Li Ru's words, Luo Kong replied directly: "The Tao is not the same, Li Wenyou, you are too extreme, and Dong Zhuo, he is not worthy of fulfilling your ideals, your lord has made the wrong choice, and your great cause will become a bubble and come to naught."

It is better to choose Dong Zhuo than to be loyal to the Han Emperor in front of you, at least you are good to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely trust you. ”

Li Ru saw that Luo Kong did not refute the dislike of the wealthy nobles, but directly denied himself and Dong Zhuo, and then looked up at the emperor, arched his hand, did not speak again, and turned around and left directly.

Liu Wei was directly frightened by Li Ru's eyes, Li Ru's appearance is similar to Jia Xu's and is more kind, but the coldness and compassion in his eyes all the time make him look like a ghost.

In terms of mind alone, Li Ru and Jia Xu are similar, both are good at intrigue and trickery, and they are unscrupulous.

But the difference between the two is that Li Ru is too obsessed, while Jia Xu also has the idea of reviving the family in his heart, but he is not strong, and he belongs to the attitude of casual fate.

Jia Xu is thinking that I want to live, and Li Ru is thinking that I am going to die.

"Junhou, is Taifu trying to kill me?"

Liu Wei said tremblingly, he was so scared that he didn't even claim to be me, Luo Kong sighed in his heart, Liu Wei was really not suitable to be an emperor.

He is not the same as Emperor Xiaohui, Emperor Xiaohui is actually quite assertive, but there is Empress Gao in front and King Luowen in the back, so he can't do it.

Liu Wei is really not good!

It is never a good thing for the lord to be weak and the minister to be strong, and it is a very difficult thing to maintain the majesty of the monarch when the courtiers are strong, and there will definitely be yin and evil breeding in it.

Luo Kong looked at Liu Wei with pity in his eyes, he could already foresee that Liu Bian's fate would not be too good, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen who will accompany you will also accompany you." ”

Compared with Liu Bian, Luo Kong feels that Tang Ji is more worthy of pity, Liu Bian is the eldest son, this is his fate, Tang Ji is a little girl, she doesn't understand anything but becomes a queen, and she is completely implicated.

Luo Kong's comfort still had some effect, Liu Wei grabbed Luo Kong's sleeve, "Junhou, are we going back to Luoyang?" ”

"Yes, we're going back to Luoyang."

Liu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, Luoyang was the only place that could bring him warmth, "It's good to go back to Luoyang, you can see the queen mother when you return to Luoyang." ”

Luo Kong's heart was only worried, the Luo clan had accumulated prestige in the Han Dynasty for so many years, and he dared to rely on the military array to directly kill the Luo clan, what else did he dare not do?

After all, this is an internal political struggle, Dong Zhuo thought that killing people directly was something Luo Kong didn't expect, and it can only be said that the martial artists of the border county are worthy of their reputation.

Now it is just the beginning of the troubled times, and people like Dong Zhuo who dare to trample on conventions and unspoken rules have appeared, but fortunately, he still has some consciousness of belonging to politicians in his heart, and he did not do it directly.

But if such a person becomes unscrupulous in the future, I'm afraid he will be a demon king of the world.

……

From Chang'an to Luoyang, although there is a thousand miles to go, Xiliang Tieqi is in full swing, and the time required is not long.

On the straight road, the smoke and dust rose and fell, and a team of cavalry full of murderous spirit galloped past, and the Xiliang army was almost out, although there were basically no top strategists except Li Ru, but out of the border army of the surrounding county, the fierce general could be called like a sea of clouds.

Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, who are second-rate lieutenants in the Xiliang Army, are rare cavalry generals and fierce generals, and even Dong Zhuo himself is a fierce man who can shoot a strong bow and go into battle.

The Xiliang army is rushing towards Luoyang.

The front army has set off, but the Chinese army and the rear army are still in Chang'an, ready to go.

Luo Kong, Liu Wei and Tang Ji sat on a carriage, Luo Kong was almost inseparable from Liu Wei, for fear that Dong Zhuo would attack Liu Wei, Liu Wei and Tang Ji sat on both sides of Luo Kong.

Tang Ji is younger than Liu Wei and seems to be stunted, she is a rather insecure little girl, and Luo Kong is the only person she can rely on.

"When I go to Luoyang, it's hard to tell between life and death."

Luo Kong had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't know where this premonition came from, Liu Wei is now the emperor, could it be that Dong Zhuo dared to kill the monarch directly?

In the old palace of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Wei who was leaving, turned his head to look at Li Ru, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Wenyou, the emperor is only friendly with the Marquis of Wushuang, which is not good for us."

And Liu Wei is cowardly, how can he dominate the world without the atmosphere of an emperor?

Alas.

Because of his own selfish desires, the Marquis of Wushuang made Liu Wei the emperor, which is ignoring the world.

As the son of the Luo family, but for his own selfish desires, his father is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the first emperor is close, so he must not sit idly by!

Chen Liuwang is smart, although Emperor Ling is a single husband, but after all, he is the benefactor of his father, he wants to make Liu Xie the emperor, and the prince should fulfill the last wish of Emperor Ling, so it is better to make Chen Liuwang the emperor.

What does Wen You think? ”

Liu Wei would never have imagined that Dong Zhuo, who respectfully stood up to his position some time ago, would want to replace himself so soon.

Li Ru shook his head when he heard this: "Lord, not for the time being.

There is also a prince in Luoyang City, the second son of Emperor Ling, and now he must have been established as the emperor by that group of rebels.

Liu Xie is a concubine, his identity can't suppress Liu He, so he can only use Liu Wei's undisputed identity as the eldest son to suppress Liu He.

We have both the authorization of the Spirit Emperor and the regular legal system, so that we can be invincible.

As for your concerns, I understand.

Wait until Liu He is abolished from the throne, wait for the opportunity to get rid of it, and then get rid of Liu Wei, then only Liu Xie is left, naturally he will be the emperor, and the two brothers will die, and he will definitely be able to teach him how to do it. ”

In Li Ru's mouth, killing the emperor and even the emperor is as simple as eating and drinking, in his eyes, there is no difference between the emperor and the pigs, dogs, cows and sheep in the pen.

Dong Zhuo was persuaded by Li Ru again, and gradually began to grow a fierce light on his face: "Then let him live for a while."

You must take a good look at the Marquis of Wushuang, and don't let him do anything unfavorable to the court.

Entering Luoyang, ruling the world, the Han Dynasty collapsed, Zhang Jiao ascended to heaven, this is God helping me Dong Zhuo.

If you don't accept what God has given, it will definitely bring disaster, Wenyou, your dream and my dream are about to be completed. ”

Li Ru, who had been expressionless all the time, with a cold and gloomy look in his eyes, actually pulled a smile slightly when he heard this, but this smile was a little gloomy and compassionate, and Dong Zhuo looked at it as a spirit.

Then he patted Li Ru on the shoulder and said, "Wenyou, let's go, go to Luoyang." ”

Dong Zhuo's sturdy body walked out of the palace gate, Li Ru followed closely behind, he looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and wrapped the brocade robe on his body.

……

When the advance army of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry broke through the east of the river, the entire Luoyang court was like a great enemy.

Luoyang Palace.

Empress Dowager He and the old ministers of the Han family are all frosty, and the low air pressure can even freeze people's hearts.

Originally, the ministers thought that it would be the Wushuang Marquis who returned to Luoyang, but they didn't expect it to be Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.

Empress Dowager He looked at the ministers in the palace, and then asked a slightly strange question, "Who is this Dong Zhuo?" ”

Who is Dong Zhuo?

The former Liangzhou Assassin and Qiang General, but the Empress Dowager He didn't know who he was, but everyone in the palace didn't think it was strange.

Because not only Empress Dowager He, but also many people in the palace who don't know Dong Zhuo.

A border county warrior, if it weren't for the big change, he would never be able to enter Luoyang for the rest of his life.

It's a character at the border, but it's nothing in Luoyang City, who cares?

What the officials in Luoyang City are asking for is the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries and the generals of the forbidden army, which is the ultimate in power.

But now, a border county warrior dared to step on the east of the river, and came to Luoyang unabashedly!

"Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo is a typical border county martial artist, he has been fighting in Liangzhou since he was weak, and he has stepped into a high position step by step."

In the Han Dynasty, the typical Bianjun warrior was a contemptuous name.

Because the border county warriors as an adjective, which contains the meaning of capriciousness, this is the impression of the whole world on these border county warriors, whether it is Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou or the Western Regions, of course, Wushuang Hou is an exception.

The capriciousness of these border warriors is not a moral double-facedness, but a way of survival from the depths of the heart, and a keen intuition after living a life of licking blood on the border all year round.

Lu Bu is a typical border county warrior, in fact, Liu Bei is also a border county warrior, and he is also very diligent in changing allies, but Liu Bei has a high level of personal morality and always tries his best to change allies later, so no one accuses him with this.

As soon as this sentence came out, Dong Zhuo's road to Luoyang was basically defined, that is, Dong Zhuo could not be trusted.

"Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo is the fake Liangzhou pastor and Sili lieutenant appointed by Emperor Ling, and also assists the prince, now that Dong Zhuo dares to go to Luoyang, then presumably the prince's argument has fallen into Dong Zhuo's hands, if he uses this will, what should we do?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a slightly hurried footsteps outside the hall, and I saw the messenger holding something similar to a letter in his hand, hurriedly walked into the hall, and then knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this is a letter sent by the Duke of Dong." ”

"What?"

"Dong Zhuo has arrived?"

"Is Dong Zhuo's army here, or is he himself arriving?"

This letter immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court, how could it be so fast?

——-——

In the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling collapsed, Dong Zhuo argued with the prince, Feng Ying was the emperor, the emperor was established, Dong Zhuo thought he was the prince, and forced the emperor to give the prince, the emperor was cowardly and did not dare to control, and the empty said: "If the prince of Liu Bu wishes to be the king, please die, and the king will give it to the loyal king." ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly changed color and said: "The prince deceives me? ”

Kongtong said angrily: "Taifu, the first emperor of the sixteenth dynasty of the Han Dynasty, King Zhaosheng and King Luowen, can you compare them?"

These two saints are both kings, can you dare to be born as a king?

Isn't it usurpation? ”

Dong Zhuo is stopped. - "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Family of the Peerless Marquis"
