Chapter 36, The Last Emperor's Edict (1)

(Second update, please~)

Lu Zhi had just arrived, and all the officials were interceding for him. Although Dong Zhuo had not spoken yet, it was obvious that under the circumstances, he could not have his own way, so he was about to spare Lu Zhi's life temporarily, but there was another

The bird that jumped out suddenly hit the muzzle of the gun, and it was Kong Rong.

Kong Rong (153-208), courtesy name Wenju, was a native of the State of Lu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (which ruled present-day Qufu, Shandong Province). He was a writer in the late Han Dynasty. He was the first of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" among the seven sons of Cao Cao. His family origin was Kong Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The 20th generation grandson of Ni, the son of Kong Zhou, the captain of Taishan, and the younger brother of Kong Bao, who was engaged in Yuzhou.

Kong Rong was a rare talent, diligent and studious, and was known as handsome along with Pingyuan Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liubianjang. Later, during the reign of Emperor Ling, he "established the Situ Yang Ci Mansion" and officially began his official career, responsible for impeaching corrupt officials.

Lu Qian was promoted to the positions of Zhonghou of the Northern Army, Zhonglang General of Huben, etc.

Today, Kong Rong is thirty-six years old, and he is almost mature, but his temperament has not tempered at all because of the increase in age. On the contrary, because of the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty, and the death of Emperor Ling, there were successive cases of eunuchs, and his relatives

The rebellion of Dong Zhuo and the current rebellion of Dong Zhuo's powerful officials made Kong Rong, who always claimed to be serving the country and the people and caring about the country, very sad. Today's banquet is directly directed at Dong Zhuo's outbreak. In fact, it can be said to be all the anger and depression that have been pent up in his heart for the past few months.

Everything was released in one fell swoop.

As soon as he said these words, everyone at the banquet was shocked. No matter Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Lu Zhi and others, they all seemed to know him again. No, it should not be said that they knew him again, but

No one thought that Kong Rong really had such courage.

On the other hand, the three princes of the dynasty, Taiwei Dong Zhuo, looked at the ministers with tiger-like eyes, his eyes glowed fiercely and his sword contained silver frost, showing his arrogance; Sikong Yang Biao sat aside, drinking alone and paying no attention to external affairs; Situ Huang Wan, facing

I was shocked, bitter, and hurt, but I still had no intention of standing up.

Most of the other ministers' faces changed color even if they were angry in their hearts, but their body movements did not, let alone express it out of their mouths.

Only after Lu Zhi stood up, in line with the principle that the law does not blame everyone, everyone stood up to intercede for him. However, they seemed to have selectively forgotten and evaded what Dong Zhuo had just mentioned. It was at this time that Kong Rong stood up.

Yang Biao opened his eyes, Huang Wan frowned, Lu Zhi praised him, and all the ministers retreated. As for Dong Zhuo...

Unexpectedly, this time when faced with such a direct question from Kong Rong, Dong Zhuo did not get angry as before. Instead, he took a sip of wine, and then slowly took out an object from his arms.

The thing looked like a piece of silk. It was rolled up at this time, but it could be seen that its base was still bright yellow.

What color is bright yellow? It is the color of the royal family, and this kind of silk can be said to be reserved for only one person in the world, that is, the emperor. The emperor used bright yellow as the base to issue imperial edicts. Now Dong Zhuo took out this, could it be...

"Do you know what this is?" The ministers were speculating one after another. Dong Zhuo had already spoken, but the response to him was silence. After all, everyone really didn't know how to answer because they didn't know what he wanted to say.

I really don't know what he is holding in his hand.

Although some people have already seen the shape of the thing and have vague guesses in their hearts, they do not dare to step forward rashly at this juncture to avoid being affected. Didn't you see that Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo just dared to draw their swords?

.

"This is the late emperor's edict!" Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to everyone's silence. He suddenly stood up, holding the edict high in his right hand, looking at everyone sitting down with wide eyes, showing no anger or authority.

Just listen to him say slowly: "Before the late emperor Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo died, he saved his life and finally could not be discovered. What is recorded in it is that when the late emperor was dying, the imperial edict was handed down to the prince Liu Xieshu."

The ministers were shocked again, one after another. Although it was no longer as bad as before, they were still stunned for a while before they reacted.

Then there was a roar in the banquet hall, and there were a lot of discussions, but there was no one who really questioned Dong Zhuo... Well, no, yes, at this time, someone naturally stood up and sneered: "Since they say that it is not until Jian Shuo

No one found him before he died, so how did he find him? This kind of excuse is too rough."

Dong Zhuo noticed that the person who spoke was far opposite to him. He was Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, a descendant of the fourth and third prince Yuan family, and one of the "Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan" of the late Emperor Liu Hong. He was quite popular and was regarded as an outstanding young generation in Luoyang.

The talented man is sitting under all the ministers. After all, in terms of qualifications and official status, he is indeed far behind the seniors here.

Bringing out Jian Shuo's name does not seem to have the corresponding effect, but this is also expected. After all, the Shichangshi Rebellion left a deep impression on these courtiers, and no one would have a good impression of those eunuchs.

, but Dong Zhuo didn't care so much, as long as it was beneficial to himself, there was no harm in using it.

And Dong Zhuo knew that Yuan Shao was one of the so-called aides of the general's palace who advised General He Jin to kill the ten permanent servants. Naturally, he had a taboo against Jian Shuo for a long time. In addition, he, Dong Zhuo, was probably the most important person in the eyes of the people in Luoyang.

If you are not a religious person, it is normal for you to be suspected.

But this time, he neither lied nor forged, but actually told the truth.

Lu Bu also found out through Li Ru that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong actually left a will before his death and gave it to his most personal and trusted Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and others were the same as each other. He was among the eunuchs who entered the palace to eliminate. However, no one expected that Jian Shuo did not take out the edict until his death. Later, it was only due to fate that he did so.

fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

It was also Dong Zhuo who sometimes came in and out of the palace uninvited. There was no need to say what he was doing. Li Ru gave Lu Bu a look that said, "You and I are both men, we should understand." Lu Bu nodded to show that he understood, and Li Ru continued softly.

: "It was purely an accident that my father-in-law got this edict. No one thought that Jian Shuo would actually leave such an important thing directly in King Chenliu's palace, and under the table on King Chenliu's bed..."

After hearing this, Lu Bu understood. It is rare to hear people hiding things on the table on the bed. It is not a special blind spot, but it is easy for people to fall into the blind spot of thinking. This Jian Shuo is somewhat witty. I guess

Knowing that he could not defeat He Jin and others, he simply left it to Liu Xie, but he didn't expect that the clever little Liu Xie didn't notice it. Instead, Dong Zhuo discovered it accidentally, and naturally he took it upon himself. Lu Bu couldn't help but think of this.

Somewhat emotional.

Since Dong Zhuo was confident, he would not be intimidated by Yuan Shao's mere words. He sneered and said, "So what if I invite Cai Feibai to come and recognize me?"

But someone else said: "Cai Fei has a false reputation. He is no more than the same level as you, Taiwei. If he comes to recognize him, who can believe it and who can be convinced?" Cai Yong in the hall looked angry when he said this directly.

temper, not to mention that he is a direct person, so he naturally cannot accept such unwarranted slander.

But before he could refute, Dong Zhuo spoke again: "Otherwise, according to the wishes of the Censor Zhongcheng, who can take this position?" It could be heard that he was suppressing his anger at this time.

The one who spoke just now was Han Fu, the chief censor, and he replied in an unhurried manner with a smile: "If you follow my opinion, this matter cannot be done. Jian Shuo is a thief who harmed the country, and his words cannot be believed."

, he had access to the jade seal passed down from the country, and had read the handwriting of the late emperor, so it was not difficult to forge a so-called edict. But even so, there would always be flaws. Since the Taiwei wanted to distinguish the true from the false, he asked the Taishi

How about your order?"

"Where is the Taishi Ling?" Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger, but Han Fu said with a smile: "The Taishi Ling writes history in writing, and he is more than twice as good as those who are just trying to gain fame. His demeanor is a role model for us. There is no need to doubt that there is someone hiding a traitor.

Give it a try and convince others."
