The soldiers held down Queen Mother He's head and pried open her mouth. Just as they were about to drink the poisonous wine, they heard someone shouting from behind: "Master Li, wait a minute!"
When Li Ru looked back, it was Lu Bu. He was surprised and said: "I came to take their lives under the orders of the Prime Minister. Why did Fengxian stop me?"
Lu Bu cupped his hands and said, "Master Li, the Prime Minister has ordered them to be taken into custody first. Please go to the front hall to discuss matters."
When they came to the front hall, they saw Dong Zhuo's fat body sitting on a low couch, reading a letter. When he saw Li Ru coming in, he waved and said: "Wen You, you came just in time. Liu Xin, the pastor of Jingzhou, sent someone I sent a letter to take Liu Bian and his son to Xiangyang."
Li Ru took the letter and read it hastily, and said: "His letter came a little late, Liu Bian is dead. However, He Lian and Tang Xian can give it to him."
Dong Zhuo pondered: "Liu Bian is dead. I'm afraid Liu Xin will no longer agree to hand over 700 million yuan of food to us. Moreover, he holds He Lian in his hand. Is there any conspiracy?"
Lu Bu said loudly: "I'm afraid of what a little Jingzhou shepherd will do. Give me three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will definitely capture him alive."
Li Ru smiled and said: "Fengxian bravely conquers the three armies and is invincible in the world. But there are countless princes in the world, how can we kill them all? This matter needs long-term consideration. I have heard people say that Liu Xin is greedy for money and lustful. He Lian, Tang Xian was extremely beautiful, so we sent them to Liu Xin. We then ordered people to spread rumors, saying that Liu Xin wanted to slander the emperor and the princess. It won't take long before he will be despised by the scholars. As for Liu Bian, he has already If he dies, we will just charge half of his money and food."
While Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were discussing there, Zhao Yun led dozens of personal guards, took two boxes, and found them at Wang Yun's mansion.
Wang Yun listened to Zhao Yun's explanation of the purpose of his visit, and then read the letter written by Cai Yan, and hesitated. Raising Kabuki and dancers was Wang Yun's biggest hobby. There were more than 100 Kabuki and dancers in his family. When Cai Yan came to the house at the age of 18, Wang Yun asked someone to teach her singing and dancing. More than ten years later, Diao Chan was not only good at singing and dancing, but also had a beautiful face. She stood out among these Kabuki and dancers. What if Cai Yan asked for something else? Wang Yun would agree without hesitation, but Diao Chan, he was really reluctant to part with her.
Seeing Wang Yun's hesitation, Zhao Yun waved his hand behind, and several personal guards carried the two boxes up. Zhao Yun gently opened the first box, and Wang Yun's eyes lit up, and there were a bunch of boxes neatly stacked inside. Stacks of paper, so much paper is worth more than tens of millions in Luoyang.
Wang Yun was surprised when he saw such a heavy gift. He looked up at Zhao Yun and saw that he was handsome and handsome. He was such a mighty young general. He couldn't help but start thinking. Now Dong Zhuo has the power and regards human life as his own. Just like grass, any disobedience to the Chinese military officials will lead to their deaths. Although Wang Yun is narrow-minded, he is also an upright and good official. He saw what Dong Zhuo did and felt pain in his heart. .However, Dong Zhuo not only had a large number of soldiers, but his adopted son Lu Bu was also very powerful in martial arts and unrivaled. Wang Yun had no choice but to endure it. Although he didn't know how good Zhao Yun was in martial arts, he looked like a hero. Wang Yun was angry. A heart of acceptance.
Zhao Yun didn't know what Wang Yun was thinking. He just thought that he didn't like these Xiangzhi, so he gently opened the lid of the other box. The sun shone in from the window and fell on the box, giving off a dazzling light. .
Wang Yun only thought that it contained some kind of gold and silver jewelry, and was disdainful. When he took a closer look, his eyes widened and he was speechless. After a long while, he murmured: "What are these made of?"
When Zhao Yun saw his expression, he knew something was up, so he smiled and said, "These are all porcelain."
Wang Yun said with disbelief: "Porcelain? Impossible! How can there be such exquisite porcelain."
Porcelain has appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty, but the porcelain at that time was very crude. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, porcelain had made great progress, but it was only some celadon. This box only contained some ordinary bowls and dishes.
, plates, spoons and other tableware, but they are all white porcelain, and there are many exquisite patterns painted on them, including flowers, figures, birds and animals, all of which are lifelike.
These white porcelain wares are naturally the result of the research institute. After Liu Xin and Ma Yun came to this era, they found that most of the food used for eating was copper, and occasionally gold and silver vessels were also used. They knew that these vessels inevitably contained
Some heavy metals are not good for the human body, so I always wanted to use porcelain as tableware. However, the porcelain that could be found at that time were all rough celadon. After Liu Xin came to Jingzhou, he established a research institute and handed over the task of researching white porcelain.
artisan.
White porcelain and celadon actually only use different glaze colors, but if you want to produce porcelain that meets Liu Xin's requirements, you need to put a lot of effort into the body and glaze. After more than four years of continuous testing and exploration, the institute finally produced
There are several different types of porcelain with various patterns and patterns painted on them. Although these porcelains are not as thin as paper, as white as jade, as loud as silence, and as bright as mirrors, in Wang Yun's eyes, these porcelains are
Porcelain is definitely a rare treasure in the world.
Indeed, none of these porcelains can be seen outside. These are samples produced by the research institute and have not yet begun mass production. This time Cai Yan returned to her parents' home, Liu Xin specially asked her to bring a box of porcelain as a gift.
Cai Yong showed his filial piety, but Cai Yan sent them all here.
Zhao Yun saw the strange look in Wang Yun's eyes and knew that he was completely tempted, so he deliberately said: "Master Wang, if you still can't stand these things, then I will have no choice but to take them all back and tell the mistress that it is a disgrace to the mission."
Already."
Wang Yun didn't have time to raise his head and said hurriedly: "General, wait a minute, I have accepted all these things. I will hand over Diao Chan to the general in a while. I will also ask the general to thank Miss Cai for me. But I am here."
There is something else I want to ask the general."
He knew that the mistress Zhao Yun was referring to was Cai Yan. In fact, Wang Yun looked down on Cai Yan at all. Back then, he and Cai Yong were both ministers of Dongguan, and he was always under pressure from Cai Yong until Cai Yong because of
After offending the eunuchs, his family was exiled to the bitter cold in the far north. Only then did he get ahead. From then on, he rose through the ranks and became Minister Youcheng. Cai Yan's marriage to Liu Xin became known to everyone because of the publicity of the Wei family in Hedong.
Wang Yun naturally knew that in his eyes, it was Cai Yan who did not observe the rules of women. Although Cai Yan married Liu Xin as an equal wife, in Wang Yun's view, there was no difference between that and being a concubine.
Zhao Yun admired Liu Xin very much now. If he knew that Wang Yun thought so of Cai Yan, he would definitely beat him up. Of course, Zhao Yun could not know what Wang Yun was thinking, so he still bowed very politely.
He cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, please speak."
Wang Yun calmed down, looked away from the two boxes, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked: "General, have you ever heard of Lu Bu?"
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "General, I have heard my lord mention it. It is said that this person is very skilled in martial arts and is invincible in the world. But I have never met him. What does he do, sir?"
Wang Yun stroked his long beard under his chin and said, "General, who is better in martial arts than Lu Bu?"
Zhao Yun's face was still as calm as water, and he replied calmly: "I have never competed with him, so how can I know who is stronger and who is weaker."
Wang Yun knew that many famous generals in the capital would unconsciously show fear on their faces when they heard Lu Bu's name, but Zhao Yun remained calm, which either meant that he had special skills or that he was arrogant. Wang Yun
Yun was also the governor of Yuzhou. He knew that if Zhao Yun could be reused by Liu Xin, he must belong to the former category, so he wanted to recruit him again, so he said: "General Zhao, please listen to what Wang has to say. Liu Xin is no more than a prince.
The general's talent, why should he be inferior to others? If the general wants, I am willing to recommend the general to any important position in the Beijing army. I wonder what the general wants?"
Zhao Yun suddenly changed his expression and said sternly: "Master Wang, who do you think I am, Zhao Yun! If you continue to talk nonsense, Zhao will recognize you, but Zhao's sword will not recognize you!"
Seeing that he was so murderous, Wang Yun did not dare to say anything more, so he could only bow and said: "General, calm down, Wang is just a joke. General, please wait here, Wang will come back as soon as he goes."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and motioned for him to go. After a while, Wang Yun led a woman out of the back house. The woman was tall and voluptuous, and her face was covered with a veil, hazy.
It's so hazy that I can't see it clearly, but just looking at the figure, it's probably not much different.
Wang Yun brought the woman to Zhao Yun and said: "General Zhao, this is Diao Chan. Diao Chan is not only a dancing girl in my family, but also my adopted daughter. Please tell the general to Miss Cai, hoping she will treat her kindly."
Zhao Yun didn't know Diao Chan, but he heard Cai Yan say that this was her childhood playmate. Thinking about it, Wang Yun didn't dare to do anything, so he made a promise and turned around to leave. Diao Chan didn't say anything and said to Wang Yun
After receiving a great blessing, he followed Zhao Yun silently and left the palace.
At this time, a carriage quietly left the south gate of Luoyang and went straight to Qiao County. Who would have thought that the woman sitting in the carriage would turn out to be He Jin's daughter-in-law Jia Huan. In June, He Jin
He was lured into the palace by Zhang Rang and others, and chopped into pieces with knives. The capital became chaotic. From that day on, his daughter-in-law Jia Huan disappeared. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, more and more women disappeared.
The He family has lost power since then, and even Dong Zhuo's soldiers have entered the house to search the house, and no one pays attention to where Jia Huan has gone.
And in a tea shop not far from the south gate of Luoyang, a man came out and looked at the direction the carriage was leaving. He didn't look back until he could no longer see a trace of smoke. That man was none other than Cao Cao.
When the followers saw Cao Cao turning around and heading into the city, they hurriedly led the horse. Cao Cao jumped up and drove his horse straight to Wang Yun's house.
