Chapter 662: Dong Zhuo's confidant is only one person
"Liu Deran, Liu Deran!"
Dong Zhuo sat on the bed, gritting his teeth and muttering vigorously.
"Okay, you Liu Deran, in vain you and the old man jointly formulated a new policy, we supported each other, you are good now, directly cut off the old man's back road, what is the difference between you and Yuan Shao? It's embarrassing to be called a model in the world, it's just funny! ”
Just as Dong Zhuo was muttering and scolding, Dong Min rushed into his room quickly.
"Brother! Liu Jian sent someone from Chang'an! ”
As soon as he heard that Liu Jian had sent someone to see him, Dong Zhuo immediately said angrily: "Then why do you keep him?" Pull down the decapitation flag! ”
Dong Min arched his hand at Dong Zhuo and said: "Brother, this person can't be killed, although this person is sent by Liu Jian, but he is here as an envoy of the imperial court!" ”
"If my brother kills him, I'm afraid the court won't be able to explain it."
Dong Zhuo snorted and said, "Where is the place in the imperial court now that we still have the place to speak?" ”
"If we don't kill the envoys of the imperial court, it will be extremely easy for the imperial court to convict us."
"Now Liu Deran only needs one word, that is, let our Dong clan exterminate the clan, I'm afraid it's not a difficult thing."
Dong Min said: "Brother, do you know who this envoy Liu Deran sent this time is?" ”
"Who?"
"It's the Fa Zheng of the Fa family of Fufeng County."
As soon as he heard the name Fa Zheng, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly became gloomy.
Then, his gloomy expression changed to loneliness.
At that moment, I heard Dong Zhuo let out a long sigh: "Alas, I think about how much effort the old man spent in order to recruit the Fufeng Methodist, how many messengers he sent, and how many times he showed goodwill, but in the end, people still didn't look at the old man." ”
"But now, when Liu Deran arrived in Guanzhong, he only got the support of the Fa family in such a short period of time."
"Alas......"
It can be seen that Liu Deran's power has been deeply rooted in the Han Dynasty and has won the hearts of the people! His exploits are no longer comparable to those of anyone. ”
"Even if the old man compares with it, there is a lot of difference."
"Although the Fufeng Fa clan is just a family, but they took refuge in Liu Jian so quickly, it means that Liu Jian's power in Guanzhong has been established, and no one can shake it."
Dong Zhuo's words made Dong Min stunned.
"Brother, Liu Deran just sent the Fufeng Fa family alone, can he let you see so many things?"
Dong Zhuo said: "What is Liu Deran's identity? What kind of character is he? Everything he does must have a deep meaning behind it. ”
"Although the Fufeng Fajia is only a high-ranking family in Guanzhong, Liu Jian can use it as a messenger to persuade the old man, which proves that he is fully capable of winning the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and controlling the situation in the imperial court, and this kind of strength is also something that the old man did not have in the past."
Dong Min didn't seem to understand.
Anyway, for such a profound matter, he had never been too involved in it before, and it was all decided by his second brother Dong Zhuo alone.
So I saw Dong Min ask tentatively: "Brother, what should we do now?" To kill or not to kill? ”
Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "Since this is already the case, what are you doing to kill Nafa?" It's just a laughing stock. ”
"Let him come in, the old man wants to see him, and see what Liu Jian sent this person to see the old man, what kind of sale is it."
"Yui!"
……
Dong Min saw that Dong Zhuo had changed his tone, and he didn't say much, so he immediately obeyed Dong Zhuo's order and came to him with Fazheng.
Dong Zhuo looked at Fa Zheng and found that he had indeed come to see him in the guise of an envoy of the Son of Heaven.
Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and looked very arrogant.
He slowly asked, "Who is you?" ”
Fa Zheng solemnly saluted Dong Zhuo: "Fu Feng Fa Zheng, meet Dong Gong." ”
The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth showed a little contempt: "I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, why do you call me Dong Gong?" ”
Fa Zhengyan said: "Dong Gong was indeed the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in the past, but if today's son ascends the throne, the three metric system is abolished, and today's son establishes the prime minister system and has been appointed, so Dong Gong's official position should be reformulated by the imperial court." ”
"The last official came to see Dong Gong on behalf of the Son of Heaven this time, and this is also for this matter."
"Dong Gong has meritorious service to the country, and now that the imperial court has been re-established, Dong Gong is a loyal minister, but this title of Xiangguo can never be called again."
"New Son of Heaven?"
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a fierce gaze.
"You and others did the abolition of the establishment without authorization, and set up King Chen Liu as the emperor without authorization, which is no different from rebellion."
"Not really." Fa Zheng is young, but his cultivation is indeed very good.
"Dong Gong's words are wrong, and today's son is decided by the princes and kings of the world, the relatives of the Han family, and the important ministers of the court. It can be said that all the important ministers in the world who are qualified to participate in this matter have already participated in the agreement of this matter. ”
"In particular, the more than 100 princes and kings and celebrities of the Liu family all agreed to abolish the Son of Heaven and support the establishment of a new king, how can it be said that they abolished the establishment without permission? Could it be that all the Liu clansmen in the world are rebellious? Can't these people represent the hearts of the people and the Liu family? ”
Dong Zhuo's eloquence is naturally incomparable to Fazheng.
However, he was unwilling to be refuted by Fa Zheng like this, and said strongly:
"When you depose the Son of Heaven as the King of Hongnong, you can know that he is the emperor set up by the first emperor! His ascension to the throne was in accordance with the instructions of his ancestors, and you did not abolinate the throne without permission, did you disobey the will of the first emperor? ”
Fa Zhengdao: "Dong Gong, since the first emperor was mentioned, then Fa really wants to talk to Dong Gong about this matter, the first emperor ascended the throne back then, and it was just a small sect entering a large sect, not a descendant of Emperor Guangwu." ”
"If Dong Gong thinks that today's King Hongnong was deposed and the new son of heaven ascended the throne against the ancestral system, then when the first emperor ascended the throne, there were also public discussions among the ministers, is it not in line with the ancestral system for the first emperor to ascend the throne?"
As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo suddenly became angry.
"You!"
Fa Zheng continued unhurriedly: "Although Your Majesty is not the eldest of the first emperor, but also the son of the first emperor, in order to soothe the spirit of the first emperor in the sky, the sages of Chang'an did not make any choice from the other Liu clan relatives, and still inherited the throne with the heirs of the first emperor's lineage, isn't this the greatest respect for the first emperor?" ”
"Moreover, when King Hongnong was in power, he single-handedly abolished the new policy, and also indiscriminately issued a small money policy, which made Guanzhong and Sizhou and the Central Plains wars frequent, and the people could not survive, and the disaster was no less than the Yellow Turban in that year."
"Such an emperor, what are we still supporting him? Do you really want to sit back and watch him destroy the Han Dynasty? ”
"As an important minister of the imperial court, Dong Gong was promoted by the first emperor back then, and then promoted the new policy, so he naturally understands how big the risk is, and I hope that Dong Gong can focus on the overall situation!"
After all, the Fa is bowing down from afar.
Dong Zhuo made Fa Zheng's words confused, and he secretly said in his heart: This Fa Zheng is really not an ordinary person, don't look at him young, he talks like the Tao, he is stunned to choke himself to death, and he can't say a word.
After a while, Fang saw Dong Zhuo slowly speak:
"Wait in Chang'an City, Dingding. set the overall situation with the momentum of thunder, and now come to talk about me in words, what else can the old man say now? ”
"You can do whatever you want."
Fa Zheng said: "Dong Gong's words are wrong, the public has a large army in his hands, and now Chen Bing is in Liangzhou, for the imperial court, he is a general who guards outside!" The imperial court has such a major event, how can it not be supported by Dong Gong? ”
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "In the end, I am still afraid of the Liangzhou army in the hands of the old man, hum, what?" Could it be that Liu Jian still wants the old man to take the initiative to hand over the military power? ”
Fa Zheng shook his head: "The last official received the order of the prime minister, and before he came here, he was warned by the prime minister, saying that Dong Gong led the army all his life and established a great achievement for the Han Dynasty, and now he is over sixty years old!" If it takes away Dong Gong's military power at this time, it is tantamount to taking Dong Gong's life and causing our Han Dynasty to lose a general, which is not the blessing of the Han Dynasty, let alone the wish of the prime minister. ”
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't want to unload the old man's military power, then the old man wants to ask, why did Liu Deran cut off the old man's military rations?" ”
Fa Zheng said: "Dong Gong, you have a little misunderstanding of the prime minister!" ”
"When did the Prime Minister cut off your military rations? Isn't your army useful every day these days? ”
Dong Zhuo was annoyed and angry.
"The military rations that Liu Deran supplied to the old man from Chang'an are only enough for my Liangzhou army for a short time, and the old man's army is here to fight! An expedition to the west could be made at any time, and if it was too deep, how could there be no food in stock? How to fight a war with this method of supply?! ”
"How can the old man win the battle?"
Fa Zheng sighed and said: "Dong Gong, what you said is not right, there is such a big thing in the imperial court, it is the time to rectify internal affairs, and it is not the time to use troops to fight a war abroad. ”
"If Dong Gong wants to forcibly march into the army, it will only increase the pressure on the entire Han Dynasty."
"Cough, cough, cough!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately lowered his head and coughed vigorously.
"Liu Deran, this erection, is this trying to make you come here to kill the old man?"
Fa Zhengyan said: "Dong Gong's words are wrong, I am here on the orders of the imperial court, everything is for business, and there is no personal grudge." ”
"Besides, I came to meet with Dong Gong today, mainly not to talk about military power, but to discuss with Dong Gong how the Han Dynasty should develop in the future."
Dong Zhuo said: "Liu Deran is now in charge of the whole world, how will the Han Dynasty develop, does he still need to ask the old man?" Just do it yourself. ”
Fa Zhengdao: "Dong Gong's words are really a misunderstanding of the prime minister, Dong Gong, do you think the prime minister is really afraid that you will not succeed?" Although you have nearly 100,000 troops under your command, but in the face of the entire Liangzhou rebel army, as long as the prime minister completely cuts off Dong Gong's grain route, the more people your army has, the faster it will collapse. ”
"At that time, even if Dong Gong has great talent, I'm afraid it will be useless."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face showed a bit of gloom.
In fact, he knew this very well in his heart, from Liu Jian's point of view, he would definitely completely cut off the food for the Xiliang army, but Dong Zhuo didn't understand why Liu Jian didn't do this?
Seeing the doubts on Dong Zhuo's face, Fa Zheng knew that the time had come, and immediately began to play the emotional card with Dong Zhuo.
"Dong Gong doesn't have to hesitate, the prime minister values love and righteousness, and Fa Mou had discussed with the prime minister about Dong Gong before he came."
"The prime minister once said that although Dong Gong is powerful and has the highest prestige in Xizhou, he is also a member of the imperial court.
"And back then, Dong Gong and the prime minister also had the grace of support."
"After Dong Gong took charge of the court, the prime minister and Dong Gong worked together to implement a new policy for the world, and what Dong Gong has done in the court over the years is still very recognized by the prime minister."
"When I came this time, the prime minister had a word for me to convey to Dong Gong."
After all, Dong Zhuo is old, and his heart is not as ruthless as before.
He listened to Fa Zheng's words and suddenly remembered what had happened.
I think that the Liu Deran I hated deeply back then was also his Jin Yan.
To be honest, Liu Jian is also the one who changed his Dong Zhuo's life.
Dong Zhuo has been able to get to this day, Liu Jian has indeed helped him a lot, and although there has been friction between the two people, they are still the same in the general direction after all.
Dong Zhuo didn't think of these things, he just didn't want to think about them because of anger.
But when Fa Zheng's words really touched a certain point in his heart, he naturally remembered these things.
Dong Zhuo slowly looked at Fa Zheng and said, "What does Liu Deran want to tell the old man?" ”
"The prime minister said that Ning Dong Gong is responsible for Liu Jian, and thrift will never be responsible for Dong Gong."
Although these words are scene, and most of them are flickering, Dong Zhuo is still very touched in his heart.
After all, even if this is a fool, it means that Liu Jian is willing to fool him.
Look at those scholars and wang clans in the Kanto region, most of them don't want to fool Dong Zhuo, and they even disdain to fool Dong Zhuo.
"Although this is not true, Liu Deran's ability to say this can be regarded as showing that he is attentive to the old man."
Fa Zhengdao: "The Prime Minister's words are by no means deliberately flattering, what Dong Gong has done in the court over the years, the Prime Minister knows and always remembers, but Dong Gong is also old, and everything in the court is complicated, Dong Gong may not be able to continue to do it, and only the Prime Minister can take over." ”
"The prime minister took over all the things in the Dong Gong, which is actually in line with common sense."
"After all, the only person who can continue to implement the new policy implemented by Dong Gong back then today is the prime minister."
"And Dong Gong never thought that the actual New Deal may not be a matter of one or two generations, Dong Gong just fell seriously ill in Liangzhou, and when King Hongnong was in power, he was threatened by Wang Yun and Yang Biao and others to abolish the New Deal. Once the New Deal is abolished, it means that Dong Gong's governing strategy is problematic, and his successors may condemn the New Deal as a crime, and then use this to liquidate the Dong family. ”
"Dong Gong, you are over sixty years old, but your family still has children, nephews and grandchildren, I want to ask Dong Gong, if it really comes to that time, is it possible for you to protect your family?"
"What is the future of the Dong family? Has Dong Gong thought about this? ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face was a little ugly.
Fa Zheng continued to take care of himself.
"Since the new deal was proposed by Dong Gong, it must not be put down in vain, because once the new deal dies, your Dong family will be destroyed! The ruthless methods of the major families in the Central Plains must be somewhat known to you. ”
"Don't be careless."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo suddenly fell silent.
He is also a person who has been in the court for a long time, so he naturally knows the seriousness of what Fa Zheng said.
What Fa Zheng said today is not alarmist.
Of course, he also knew that this should not be what Fa Zheng said.
But Liu Jian said it.
Yes, from the moment he Dong Zhuo proposed it, the New Deal has been closely related to the fate of his Dong family.
If the New Deal dies, his Dong clan will inevitably be uprooted by those who abolished the New Deal.
Therefore, the New Deal must not be extinguished.
If the new deal is not extinguished, the Dong family can live!
Alas, the one who knows him Dong Zhuo is still Liu Deran.
