Chapter 33: Dong Zhuo's Jin Yan
Dong Min, who was fiddling with the slip in his hand, was quite surprised when he heard this: "My brother was recruited to Situ's mansion in the past, and he was recommended by Yuan Situ to take up the history of the state assassin, but he was a former official of the Yuan Sect, why did Situ humiliate his own disciples this time?" ”
Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the pouring rain outside the house, and fell into deep memories of the past.
"Brother Wei was appointed as the assassin of the state, and he is regarded as an official of the Yuan family, but don't forget, for his brother, he has been a protégé of many people for decades? It's not just his Yuan family! The imperial court had a series of major events last year, Duan Gong died, and Yuan Gong was using the unbroken "Book of Changes" to remind the old man that he should see his own origins clearly, and the widows and scholars in the border counties who could not even understand the scriptures should know who should stand in front of the house. ”
When Dong Min heard this, he immediately fell silent.
The Dong brothers grew up in Liangzhou since childhood, and they are heroes in the west, and they are deeply respected by the Qiang tribes, but in the eyes of the Central Plains gate lords of the Han Dynasty, the Han people in Liangzhou are out-and-out inferior barbarians, which is an out-and-out fact.
Even if Dong Zhuo is now in a transcendent position, it is still the same.
The attitude of the Kwantung Shi towards the people of Liangzhou is deep-rooted, and most of the people of Liangzhou have accepted this reality, but the Dong brothers are different, and they have been trying to get rid of the shackles of this 'inferior person' all their lives.
It is also fate, although the household registration of the Dong family is in Liangzhou, he and Dong Min were both born in Yingchuan, just because his father Dong Junya was the captain of the Yingchuan wheel clan at that time, and Dong Zhuo's character Zhongying and Dong Min's uncle Ying are enough to prove that the Liangzhou people at that time had expectations and recognition of the Central Plains - even born in Yingchuan, they had to deliberately show off.
Dong Zhuo lived in Yingchuan as a child, and Yingchuan is also a great birthplace of the Han dynasty, where the beautiful manor, the tall Wu Fort, each manor owner has thousands of hectares of land, and there are countless Li Shu Qiantou attached to him, which has left a deep impression on the young Dong Zhuo's heart.
But these do not belong to him after all, his household registration is in Xiliang, which is destined for him to only watch other people's Wubao manor build bigger and bigger, and he can only wait for his father's term of office to arrive, and reluctantly go to the place where his household registration is located - the bitter cold land of Liangzhou where the Qiang people live.
Perhaps from that time on, the young Dong Zhuo, who had seen the prosperity of the Yingchuan clan, had already made up his mind in his heart - the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning? Don't be crazy! Sooner or later, one day, I will build a 'Long Live Wu' that surpasses all of you who are the right of the family.
With this ideal hidden deep in his heart, Dong Zhuo went to various families after entering the office.
The officialdom rules of the Han Dynasty are generally protégés and former officials are only for one family, for example, Liu Jian, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei's teacher is Lu Zhi, then they will always have the imprint of Lu Zhi's protégé in their lives, even if Gongsun Chan was later recruited by Liu Qi, and even disguised for Liu Qifa, but in the end, he is still a member of Lu Zhimen.
But Dong Zhuo played a little bit for the ideal in his heart.
The first Longxi Taishou who used Dong Zhuo can be said to be Dong Zhuo's engong, and Dong Zhuo should naturally be his former official, but later Dong Zhuo was not bound, but took refuge in many camps.
The Longxi County Guard who recruited him for the soldiers and horses was the first, and the achievement of the Liangzhou Assassin History was the first to recruit Dong Zhuo for the engagement, which was the second, and in Liangzhou, where the war continued, the relationship between the county guard and the Assassin History was generally very stiff, and everyone pinched each other.
Dong Zhuo, who was later engaged in the Assassin's Mansion, went back and forth with Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng, and Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng happened to be at odds with each other.
Dong Zhuo was promoted all the way to the border counties, and Zhang Huan himself admired Dong Zhuo, a fierce general in the border counties, at first, and deliberately transferred Dong Zhuo to serve as Sima in his army in the ninth year of Yanxi, but Dong Zhuo's frequency of exchanges between the major bosses was too high, which made Zhang Huan gradually dislike his character, even if Dong Zhuo secretly gave Zhang Huan a hundred horses, Zhang Huan also refused.
Even, when Dong Zhuo was transferred to the Western Regions as a lieutenant of Wuji, he was finally deposed because he couldn't wipe the ass of the defeated Shule State for the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Meng Tuo, but he was still miraculously involved with Yuan Kui, who couldn't fight with him, and was recruited into the government by Yuan Kui, and then was promoted by Yuan Kui as the assassin of Bingzhou.
The Longxi County Guard and the Assassin Historical Achievements were opposites, and both recruited Dong Zhuo.
Needless to say, the contradictions between Duan Cheng and Zhang Huan also used Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Kui, who had no relationship with the martial arts of the border county, was also willing to recruit him into the government after Dong Zhuo fell from power......
If Lu Bu is a slave with three surnames, then Dong Zhuo has at least five surnames!
It's just that he is smarter than Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo just keeps changing the lintel, but he never cares about people calling him father.
Now, the Liangzhou God of War and the eunuchs are dead, and Dong Zhuo, who is on the left and right, has lost one of his biggest backers, at this moment, as his other backer, the Yuan family will send the "Book of Changes" without breaking the chapter, and his thoughts can be imagined:
Duan Cheng is dead, the only person who can cover you is the Runan Yuan family, weigh your own weight carefully, the Xiliang barbarian who doesn't even have heirloom scriptures and has no basis for broken chapters, who should you show your allegiance to now, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?
……
Looking at the heavier rain outside the window, Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh.
"Yuan Kui is too deceitful!"
Behind, Dong Min's indignant voice came: "Duan Gong has only been dead for a few months? The old thief of the Yuan family can't wait to absorb all the people of my Liangzhou family, brother don't be afraid of him, now Xianbei is strong, and there is war in the south of the court, if there is no brother in this state, who else can he Yuan Kui send to replace his brother? ”
Dong Zhuo's smile was slightly bitter.
"Third brother, you underestimate the Yuan family's sect, the Yuan family's foundation in the Han Dynasty is definitely something that people can shake, you look at the yang ball, it can be regarded as a fast knife in the hands of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty used him successively except for Wang Fu and Duan Gong, it can be said that there is no other in the limelight, but he is open-mouthed, and said 'Gongqing Hao is like the children of the Yuan family, engaged in self-management, why should he be evil!' But in a few months, what happens to him? ”
Dong Min was puzzled: "Didn't this person die from Cao Jie's advice?" ”
"That's just the appearance, although Cao Jie is powerful, the Son of Heaven is a slave! If Your Majesty has the heart to protect the Yang Ball, even if Cao Jie breaks his throat, what is the use? After all, there are still people who forced His Majesty to give up the knife. ”
Dong Min licked his lips, and he was also a little wilted.
Who can force the emperor to give up the knife in his hand?
Go without saying.
"Brother, are you willing to be driven by the old man of the Yuan family?"
"To be honest, I'm unwilling, but I haven't found a good way to balance Yuan Lao'er at the moment, this former official of the Yuan family, he should go on, and he has to go on again."
After that, he sighed, turned around and turned back to the table, looking at the "Book of Changes" sent to him by Yuan Kui on the table, he didn't know what he thought, and a little annoyance appeared on his face.
Then, I saw him stretch out his hand and pull all those slips to the ground.
Dong Min was quite depressed when he saw the scattered slips on the ground.
It's not easy to pick it up, but this brother really doesn't know how to be sympathetic to others.
"That's right, Shuying, I had a dream for my brother last night, I dreamed that a golden swallow came from the east, sat on the branches of our house, picked up golden branches to build a nest, and finally screamed three times, ran north and flapped its wings, I don't know what this dream means?"
Dong Min looked at Dong Zhuo dumbfounded, and said for a while: "Brother, are you asking me to interpret your dream for you?" ”
"Naturally, you can't solve it, I'm just telling you about it, you come to Jinyang City to find me a good person to solve the confusion in my heart!"
"Whoa!"
After finishing the order, Dong Zhuo turned his head to look out the window, still muttering incessantly: "Jin Yan, Jin Yan, what is it pointing to?" ”
