When the news spread that Yue Cavalry Colonel Wu Fu had assassinated Dong Zhuo, Chang'an was shocked and Guanzhong was shocked, attracting close attention from all forces.
In the past, even if the scholars were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, they would usually curse him behind his back, or more violently, they would liaise with the princes and seek help from the Qinwang, thinking that they were internally responsible. However, this time the scholars' methods were extremely fierce, and it was really a general outbreak of dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo.
Unfortunately, compared to Dong Zhuo, the power of the scholars was still too weak. They tried to use small means to gain great power, but in the end, they harmed others and themselves.
Dong Zhuo followed suit this time, and in one day, more than 30 people including Lieutenant Zhang Wen, Shangshu Yang Zan, Yilang He Yong, etc. were arrested and imprisoned. Shangshu Zheng Tai, Shangshu Lang Huaxin, Huangmen Shilang Xu You and others fled. .After this battle, not only that the anti-Dong forces were completely wiped out, but it can also be regarded as a serious loss of vitality.
Dong Zhuo's residence is located on the east side of Chang'an. It occupies an alley and is comparable in size to a palace. Of course, no one will stand up and accuse his residence of violating the regulations unless they are impatient.
A carriage turned into the alley of Taishi Mansion from the north and drove slowly along the spacious road. The person sitting in the carriage was none other than Situ Shou Shangshu, who was clearly a close associate of Dong Zhuo but secretly an anti-Dong Zhishi. Order Wang Yun.
Wang Yun has a cautious character. In fact, he used to be a strong-willed man who hated evil and had the courage to fight to the end even when facing the ten regular servants. He was imprisoned twice, escaped for several years, and narrowly escaped death. However, when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Wang Yun immediately realized , this is a heroic figure who is countless times more powerful than the relatives and eunuchs of any previous period, so he worked hard to polish his edges, restrain his personality, flattery, and patiently wait for the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Wang Yun personally planned to "raise troops to the east to meet the heroes of the Kanto region" last year. He recommended Sun Rui and Yang Zan to march from Chang'an and pass through Wuguan to Nanyang, the southern capital. It was intended to attack Yuan Shu from both sides, but in fact it was to welcome his Qin Wang. Unfortunately, they were defeated by Li Ru at the last moment. In this assassination operation, Wang Yun remained hidden behind the scenes and did not show up, because he knew that he was the scholar most trusted by Dong Zhuo. Once he was exposed, the scholars would have no chance to come back.
Sure enough, the assassination attempt failed and Wang Yun successfully escaped.
However, there are also some troubles. It seems that his ministers Yang Zan, Zheng Tai, and Shangshu Lang Hua Xin are all involved. The former was arrested and the latter two fled. Dong Zhuo will definitely doubt him. He went to the Taishi Mansion on this trip. , which is to confess sins and show loyalty to Dong Zhuo. It sounds disgusting, and Wang Yun himself feels a little disgusting, but there is no way, the rift between the two needs to be repaired as soon as possible.
"Alas..." Wang Yun sighed softly. After Dong Zhuo was in danger of being assassinated, he would definitely strengthen his vigilance in the future. It would be difficult for him to attempt an assassination in the future. If there are no reinforcements, is there any way to get rid of it? How about killing Dong Zhuo? Wang Yun thought for a long time and came up with several methods, but the success rate was very slim, not much more difficult than the second assassination.
"Master, the Grand Master's Mansion has arrived." The groom outside the carriage said.
The carriage stopped at some point. Wang Yun cheered up after hearing the words, lifted the curtain and walked out of the Taishi Mansion. The servants and soldiers of He Mansion looked at him with strange expressions, as if to say: How come you still dare to come? You are not afraid. The grand master killed you in a rage?
Wang Yun glanced around, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the deep courtyard.
When Dong Zhuo received Wang Yun's request for an audience, he was lying on the bed and ravaging the soft spot on the palace maid's chest. The palace lady leaned on his shoulder with a look of spring on her face.
There are thousands of maids in the Han Dynasty, all of whom are carefully selected. They have everything you need. The young emperor is only eleven years old, and he is temporarily unable to be lucky. It would be a waste to leave it alone. It is better to give it to him to enjoy. Since returning to Chang'an,
Dong Zhuo, with the speed of controlling the two girls, spoiled nearly a hundred maids. Those he liked were kept by his side, while those he didn't like were given to his generals to win people's hearts.
"Who? Prince Master? He still has the nerve to come? I don't see him, let him go." Dong Zhuo immediately became angry when he heard Wang Yun's name, and waved his hand impatiently. But when the servant walked out of the door, he suddenly
He said in a voice: "Wait a minute, ask him to go to the living room and wait for me. I will be here in a while."
"Grand Master..." the palace maid, who was only ten years old, said in a disgusted voice.
Dong Zhuo had no expression on his face. He grabbed her head and pulled her away from his body. His eyes were cold and piercing, and he said calmly: "Are you looking for death?" Dong Zhuo is a hero, and women are very important to him, but that refers to leisure time.
time.
Dong Zhuo has been on the battlefield for decades and is famous for his cruelty, cruelty and love of killing. He has killed thousands of enemies with his own hands and beheaded them even more incalculably. He once led his troops deep into the Qiang land and massacred hundreds of miles into a dead area.
Hu Zhi's expression changed when he heard this. When the palace maid was stared at by him, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She was shaking all over, sweating like rain, and could not speak. Not only her, but the two maids who were shaking the fans next to her were also frightened like chickens with numb claws.
.
"Be smarter next time." Dong Zhuo snorted coldly. He was so strong that he threw the palace maid like a gourd on the ground with one swing. His forehead hit the corner of the bed, and blood stained his face in an instant, but she ignored it and fell to the ground.
Kowtow repeatedly.
Dong Zhuo propped up his body like a mountain and slowly left the bedroom. At this time, the three women in the room dared to take a deep breath and looked at each other with lingering fears.
Wang Yun entered the living room, and soon walked to the right wall as usual, staring at a calligraphy hanging on the wall. This body-fitting method is ever-changing, between dots and dashes, all are smooth and exhaustive.
It is wonderful, the movement and combination are like gods, it is the hand of Cai Bojie. Cai Yong served the director wholeheartedly and tried his best to flatter him. Wang Yun looked down on this favorite disciple of his late master Hu Guang, but he had to admit that his calligraphy
It is so exquisite that it can be said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
However, hanging it in Dong Zhuo's house is really a hidden secret.
"Master, how many times have I told you, just take it if you like it. Most of the people here are old revolutionaries and soldiers who don't know a few Chinese characters. No one will look at it. It's a waste to hang it here."
." Dong Zhuo's steady and thick voice came from behind.
"You may not cherish it after you get it. Just come and take a look from time to time." Wang Yun shook his head and refused as always. He really liked Cai Yong's words in his heart, but there was no way he could lower his face and ask Dong Zhuo or Cai Yong for it.
Come here from time to time, these words have profound meaning.
Dong Zhuo naturally heard it and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Wang Yun showed a wry smile and said: "The Grand Master's question made me feel quite embarrassed. If there was such a big basket in the Chancery, if I didn't come in person, I'm afraid that given the Grand Master's open-minded temperament, he would understand."
Mustard."
"Zushi's words are obvious. Zishi is Gu's confidant, so Gu naturally believes in you." Dong Zhuo said calmly: "What does Zishi think Yang Zan should do?"
Wang Yun looked up to the sky and sighed: "For the sake of the country, it is natural that he should be killed. Yang Zan colluded with evil spirits and assassinated the imperial master. His crime is unforgivable. However, I have known Yang Ziyan for twenty years and have a deep friendship. However, this word of murder is no matter what."
I can't say it out loud. Grand Master..." Wang Yun paused and said, "Ziyan's life or death depends entirely on the Grand Master. Whether he is killed or beheaded, I give my approval."
Dong Zhuo's eyes were fixed on Wang Yun, who looked at him with non-aggressive eyes.
After a long while, Dong Zhuo laughed dumbly and said: "Master said to kill, I should be disappointed because of unrighteousness. Master said not to kill, I am disappointed because of disloyalty. But Master holds the truth, he is worthy of the name of loyalty. , It is so comforting to be alone. As Quanzi's master, what if I have to imprison Yang Zan in prison for a long time?"
Wang Yun kowtowed with great ceremony and said solemnly: "I would like to express my gratitude to the Grand Master for not killing him on behalf of Ziyan."
"Master, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly..."
--------------------------
Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, Jinyang.
Ma Chao returned with Qiu Fushi's head in a quiver. The so-called quiver refers to the bag where the bow is hidden. Gai Jun opened the quiver and took a look inside. He had been in charge of soldiers for many years. It was definitely not the first time he saw the bloody head, but No one would like it. They would glance at it and immediately throw it aside in disgust.
There was also a wounded Huns soldier who was sent back to Jinyang with Qiu Fushi's head. Gai Jun asked casually, but he didn't expect the other person to have an arrogant temper, so he turned his head and ignored him. Everyone had been killed, Gai Jun Naturally, he doesn't care about the other party's confession, but what he hates the most is the other party acting like he won't say anything even if he kills him.
"Aren't you trying to seduce my desire for conquest?" Gai Jun said with a smile in his heart. With a wave of his hand, several powerful men dragged the Huns directly into the prison room of the Governor's Department. They all showed up in all kinds of ways. Within an hour, the Huns People told him everything they knew, and they wished they could confess everything Qiu Fushi was wearing, just to give him a happy death. Jia Xu really had the ability to see through people's hearts, Qiu Fushi really wanted to go to Chang'an, and he was not wrong to kill him.
Immediately, Gai Jun inspected the Tuntian District of Taiyuan County to ensure a good harvest in the near future, while paying attention to Xihe Meiji. To be honest, he wished that the old fox Qiu Chiche would lose his mind and jump out. He is one of the few Xiongnu who can still jump out. A person who is jumping around is one of those people.
However, Qiu Chiche remained silent.
Gai Jun couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Ruoqiu Chiche could endure even the murder of his son. He was really a character. But it was a pity that he met him at the wrong time. In the face of absolute power, this kind of forbearance was impossible. It's nothing. What's more, Qiu Chiche is not young at all.
Just when Gai Jun was slightly narcissistic and lamented that the hero was lonely, the sky was not polite and gave him a blow on the head.
Shangjun suffered the least damage, because the county's population was only tens of thousands, and the earthquake was only in the southern border area. Northland was second, with more than a thousand houses damaged, and less than a thousand casualties. The worst was Hedong, where tens of thousands of houses collapsed. Thousands of people suffered heavy casualties.
Gai Jun was stunned. Then he learned that the situation in the counties under Dong Zhuo's rule was even worse. He was stunned for a while and murmured to himself: "It's not like God couldn't stand Dong Zhuo's harm to the country and the people, and he sent down disasters and punishments. I just want to leave." Recently, innocent people have been implicated?" The more Gai Jun thought about it, the more sense it made. He turned Dong Zhuo over and over in his mind and cursed him. Of course he knew this was nonsense, he was just releasing pressure in this way.
Gai Jun immediately wrote to his father Gai Xun, the governor of Beidi in Linjun, Hedong, the governor of Shangdang, Wang Zhou from Hanyang, and the hero of Hanoi who had just taken office, asking them to provide as much relief as possible to help Hedong tide over the difficulties. They can't even support themselves in Xihe and Shangjun, so how can they control the east of the river?
