Chapter 4: Zhen Ji's chastity crisis
Following.
Chongde front hall.
Dong Zhuo, whose footsteps were slightly vain, but his spirit was extremely excited, was surrounded by Lu Bu, Dong Huang, Niu Fu, Li Ru and others, and went to the palace with his sword.
On the top of the main hall, Empress Dowager He, Liu Bian, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have been waiting for a long time.
Mrs. He was slightly red in fear, and after seeing Dong Zhuo and Dong Huang's uncle and nephew come in, her face turned pale again.
She knew that the time had come to decide the fate of their mother and son.
She didn't even dare to look at Dong Zhuo, who was known for her brutality, she only dared to look at Dong Huang secretly, her watery peach blossom eyes were full of pity and begging, like a puppy about to be killed and eat meat.
Dong Huang's heart sank, opened his mouth slightly, and said with his lips: "Did you bring a pen?" ”
Empress Dowager He seemed to understand Dong Huang's lips, bowed her head slightly, shy and timid, just like Pan Jinlian who met Ximenqing for the first time, her head was lowered, as if Pan Jinlian wanted to pick up chopsticks, but she was unexpectedly pinched by Ximenqing.
Compared with the Empress Dowager He, who has some score in her heart, the little emperor Liu Bian is even more unbearable.
Liu Bian, who was already cowardly by nature, lowered his head before Dong Zhuo came, and when Dong Zhuo came, he actually started two wars, without the majesty of the emperor at all, no wonder Dong Zhuo looked down on him.
As for the civil and military officials, they are much calmer than Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian's mother and son.
It is undeniable that many of them have been connected and discussed countermeasures either out of loyalty or ambition, but the scholars have failed to rebel for ten years, they are accustomed to intrigues and tricks, and they have no soldiers in their hands, so they finally chose to give in.
Of course, they will not admit that they are giving in, but will only say that they are leaving a useful body to temporarily make peace with the thief.
As soon as Dong Zhuo came, all the civil and military officials quieted down.
With Dong Zhuo's announcement of the abolition of the emperor, Taifu Yuan Kui untied Liu Bian's scarf and presented it to Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, so that he could help Liu Bian to go down to the palace, and let Liu Bian face Liu Xie in the north to be a minister.
The whole process was uneventful, Liu Bian was like a marionette, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't dare to resist at all, but the Empress Dowager He watched her son being abolished, and finally couldn't help crying.
After today, the one who will sit on the throne is Liu Xie, who has a mother-killing enmity with her! Those who listen to politics will also become the evil mother-in-law Empress Dowager Dong, who has an extremely unharmonious relationship with her!
She's afraid!
The only thing that pleased her was that Liu Bian was still a prince, and he was also the king of Hanzhong!
This is very different from Liu Bian's being named King Hongnong in history, and it also makes Empress Dowager He and the Manchu Dynasty think about it.
Liu Bangke, the founding emperor of the Han Empire, was the first king of Hanzhong!
This also led to the fact that in the Han Dynasty, the king of Hanzhong had a very special political meaning, whether it was the founding emperor Liu Bang or Liu Xiu of Guangwu Zhongxing, they had never been crowned the king of Hanzhong.
To be precise, the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty has never divided the king of Hanzhong!
The reason why Liu Bi was named the king of Hanzhong was that Dong Zhuo discussed with Dong Huang and solicited the opinions of Li Ru and others.
Last night, Dong Zhuo, who was moved by Dong Huang's words, called his younger brother Dong Min and sons-in-law Niu Fu and Li Ru overnight to discuss together.
Dong Huang's statement of being a state pastor and a king naturally moved Dong Min, Niu Fu, and Li Ru, because they found that Dong Zhuo's subordinates were the most likely to become the state pastor or even the king of a state, and it was a few of them!
Whether it is for their own glory and wealth or the future of their children and grandchildren, the three of them are full support for Dong Huang's suggestions!
As for the risks and disputes of changing dynasties and chaos in the world, none of the three of them cared!
For these martial artists, as long as they can be crowned kings, it doesn't matter if the world returns to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! The butt decides the head, Dong Huang's painting cake is too big, and the appetite of these dirt buns has been completely suspended!
Dong Zhuo's purpose in finally sealing Liu Wei as the king of Hanzhong is that in case Liu Xie gets out of control, he will abolish or kill Liu Xie at that time, and then support a king of Hanzhong to take the throne, which is also justified.
The second is to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and darken Chen Cang, use Liu Ban's domain as a cover, take Hanzhong, march into Yizhou, and control Yizhou, the most suitable place for secession, as a way back.
As for who to send to serve as the pastor of Yizhou in the future, everyone did not fight, and unanimously chose to let Dong Huang go.
The reason is that Li Ru has no military power and is Dong Zhuo's core mastermind, so he can't leave at all; Dong Min fell in love with the world of flowers in Luoyang, but he hadn't enjoyed it enough, and compared with the remote and hot Yizhou, he preferred to go to Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou to be the emperor of the soil; Niu Fu was afraid of his son-in-law's identity, and did not dare to speak at all without his wife's consent; Dong Huang himself has the idea of separating Yizhou to eat chicken!
But then again, whether it is the state pastor or the king, it is still just a plot in the dark room, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Li Ru and others, they all know very well that if they want to turn all this into reality, they have to wait until Dong Zhuo's authority is stable.
Now that the abolition has been done, I am afraid that the opposition forces in the world will soon react!
Dong Zhuo and the others didn't know how big this wave of backlash was, but Dong Huang knew very well that soon, more than a dozen princes would come to crusade against Dong Zhuo!
If you add other war agents to make waves from it, I am afraid that there will be more princes who oppose the water!
This is a battle that is bound to happen, and at the same time, because of the emergence of the war agent, there will inevitably be countless variables.
It's not that Dong Huang doesn't want to strike first and get rid of a few future main forces against Dong in advance, but unfortunately there is not much room for maneuver.
Originally, Cao Cao, who should have been in Luoyang at this time in history, didn't know whether he was moved by his war agent, or he was afraid of Dong Huang in the battle for Mrs. Yin, so he neither offered a knife like in the romance, nor waited for the opportunity, but directly threw down his family and ran away in advance.
Yuan Shu didn't run, but the living Yuan Shu was obviously more effective than the dead Yuan Shu, Dong Huang not only couldn't hurt him, but also protected him as much as possible! even said that Dong Zhuo made him a general.
As for Yuan Shao, he had been running for several days, but at that time, Dong Zhuo had not completely controlled the army in Luoyang, and he needed the support of Taifu Yuan Kui, so he was strictly forbidden to be an opponent of him.
Dong Huang secretly sent a team of cavalry to chase and kill Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was also prepared and brought a lot of dead soldiers to cover, and finally Dong Huang made a move to let Yuan Shao cross Mengjin and escape to Jizhou.
The most infuriating thing is that Yuan Shao's two older sons also fled to Jizhou, which directly caused Zhen Ji to have a chastity crisis.
It must be emphasized that Dong Huang is really not a man, nor is he a woman maniac, but whenever there is a possibility, a goddess like Zhen Ji who has left a name in history, Dong Huang still wants the original.
But the problem now is that even Cai Wenji, who is close to Luoyang, doesn't have a word, let alone Zhen Ji!
All Dong Huang could do was to make up for the loss of the sheep and generally bring Zhen Ji's brother Zhen Yan, who was still in Luoyang, into his command, and by the way, Zhen Ji's eldest sister Zhen Jiang who remained in Luoyang was accepted as a concubine.
As for Zhen Jiang, a girl's family, why didn't she stay in her hometown and come to Luoyang, but because Zhen Yan felt that Zhen Jiang's beauty was unusually overwhelming, and she wanted to give her to a real dignitary as a resource for her career!
Wuji Zhen is a scholar family of 2,000 stones, belonging to the kind of scholar who is not up or down, with the untimely death of Zhen Yandang's father and the early death of his eldest brother, Wuji Zhen's family is declining more and more.
Of course, the decline here refers to the decline of officialdom, in Wuji they are still the soil emperor, and they are also the rich and rival soil emperor, the degree of arrogance is far better than the Mi clan in Xuzhou.
After all, the Mi family is only a generation of rich businessmen and powerful people, and they are not considered the ruling class of scholars, but the Zhen family is two thousand stones for hundreds of years, and there is no comparison at all.
But for a middle-to-lower scholar family like the Zhen family, if one or two generations can't get an official position, I am afraid that they will soon be reduced to a powerful man with almost no possibility of becoming an official.
So, as soon as the filial piety was over, Zhen Yan came to Luoyang with a huge amount of money and his sister in a hurry, looking for opportunities.
He finally went out and became the general of He Jin, and he wanted to rely on this platform to get to know the powerful, enhance his contacts, send his sister, and soar!
As a result, before my sister could send it out, He Jin was clicked!
After the chaos in Luoyang, Zhen Yan also became a rootless duckweed.
When Dong Huang came to the door with hundreds of fierce and vicious Liangzhou warriors in person, on the condition of protecting his life today and at least becoming a high-ranking official of Jiuqing in the future, he easily said that Zhen Yan became his main book.
Under the persecution of the sword, Zhen Yan also happily offered his eldest sister Zhen Jiang and the huge dowry that had been prepared a long time ago.
As a result, Zhen Jiang became the first woman in the world to make Dong Huang's head bleed, and she was also Dong Huang's first attendant!
One thing to say, it's really moist!
However, with this relationship alone, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to let the Zhen family abandon the foundation of hundreds of years to vote, and it is impossible to even let Zhen Yan's younger brother and other four younger sisters come over.
The big families will not put their eggs in one basket, let alone the broken basket of the Dong family!
Therefore, Dong Huang can only put aside the Luo Shen cultivation plan and concentrate on dealing with the current situation.
The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the strength and deal with the crisis of the princes fighting Dong.
After all, with so many war agents involved, no one can guarantee that this time the princes will definitely fail!
Dong Huang must prepare for the worst and be prepared for the best!
The first step is to further gather the forces of Jingzhao and cut off the surrounding threats.
Since Dong Zhuo incorporated the Central Army and annexed Ding Yuan's army, there is no military force near Luoyang that can threaten Dong Zhuo, and the Luoyang Eight Passes that defend Luoyang are also in the hands of Dong Zhuo's henchmen, but near Luoyang, there is still the threat of Jingzhao Yin Gaixun, Bai Bo Thief and Huangfu Song.
Although Jingzhao Yin Gaixun did not have many troops, there were also seven or eight thousand people, stationed in Jingzhao, and they were completely on the side of the couch; There are more than 30,000 Huangfu Song stationed in Fufeng County, and a large part of them are experienced warriors of the Three Rivers and veterans who have fought against the Yellow Turban Army and the Qiang people.
In case when the princes are fighting for Dong, the two of them raise troops from the inside, it will be more or less a trouble.
As for the White Wave Thief, it is a remnant of the Yellow Turban who rebelled in the White Wave Valley, the leader is named Guo Tai, and the soldiers and horses under his command are called 100,000, excluding the old and weak women and children, there can be about 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers in battle, although it is not very strong, but it is also a threat.
Dong Huang's suggestion was that Mingsheng secretly descended to salute first and then the soldiers, summoned Huangfu Song and Gai Xun into the court as high-ranking officials, separated them from the army, and then sent people to absorb his army.
On the side of the white wave thief, he asked Lu Bu to lead his headquarters to crusade, on the one hand, to consume Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, to take advantage of Lu Bu's absence, and take the opportunity to complete the real integration of the remaining state soldiers.
Dong Zhuo accepted Dong Huang's suggestion in its entirety, and arranged for Dong Huang to collect Huangfu Song and Gai Xun's men, and at the same time he also hinted that Dong Huang, these people and the people of the headquarters that Dong Huang now controls, will be the backbone of his entry into Shu, Dong Huang can go to Hanzhong first in the name of escorting Liu Wei, the king of Hanzhong, to the country, and then he can take the opportunity to enter Shu and directly enter Shu to seize Yizhou.
Dong Zhuo's promise made Dong Huang overjoyed!
In this troubled era, soldiers are the king of grass! Although these people under the command of Huangfu Song and Gai Xun are not as elite as the army under He Jin, the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan, and the Bingzhou Army, but without the qualifications to divide these armies, the strength of these small 40,000 people should not be underestimated.
With these people as the backbone, if you can really take the opportunity to enter Shu, with the special position of the country of abundance, you will definitely be able to survive for three years!
Dong Huang can't wait to send Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei to Hanzhong now.
It's just that now that the plan has just been decided, all he can do is to send Empress Dowager He, Liu Wei and his favorite palace maids and concubines and palace treasures out of the palace first.
After all, the palace was to be moved out to the little emperor Liu Xie.
As for where the Empress Dowager He and the others who were moved out lived temporarily, Dong Huang thought about it and decided to send them to the mansion of the late general He Jin.
Isn't it reasonable to send your sister to her late brother's mansion to receive his deceased brother's inheritance?
On the way to He Jinfu, in order to fulfill the responsibilities of a courtier and comfort the Empress Dowager He, who was frightened because of being deposed, Dong Huang reluctantly sat in the carriage of the Empress Dowager He.
Seeing Dong Huang coming in, Empress Dowager He, who had not yet taken off her gown, hurriedly put on a flattering smile and asked, "The general has come to check if the concubine has a pen?" ”
"Did you bring it?"
Dong Huang hooked Empress Dowager He's smooth chin.
Originally, he was going to forget about this matter, since Empress Dowager He took the initiative to advance, there must be some surprises.
"The general's life-saving grace and concubine body cannot be repaid, and the general's life, the concubine body always keeps it in mind!"
Empress Dowager He knelt in front of Dong Huang and carefully took out the brush.
"Queen Mother, you are so well-behaved!"
Dong Huang pinched Empress Dowager He's face with great satisfaction, and then opened the curtain of the carriage a crack.
"Queen Mother, appreciate the prosperity of Luoyang more, it will be difficult to see it in the future!"
Dong Huang asked Empress Dowager He to peek her head out of the curtain.
Appreciating the prosperity of the world that she had never seen since entering the palace, the Empress Dowager He, who knew that her fate had been saved, was completely relaxed, and her face gradually became rosy.
