Chapter 6 6. Designed by Wang Yun

Dong Zhuo was beaten by Sun Jian and ran all the way to Chang'an, where he set up a defense line, and he was relieved.From then on, the east of the Yellow River is the domain of your thirteen princes, and the west of the Yellow River is my domain, Dong Zhuo.I am the master of my territory, and if Sun Jian does not become the first bird, I forgive you princes who dare not come here to make you feel uncomfortable. The relaxed Dong Zhuo soon copied Luoyang's way of life to Chang'an.When he was in Luoyang, he pretended to be a corporal. After arriving in Chang'an, he didn't even pretend to be a corporal, and placed all his children and relatives in important positions.His own clothes are the same as those of the emperor, and he no longer goes to court, so that all the ministers come to his house to "go to court".

In addition, he also built a Meiwu, seven feet high and seven feet thick, which stored enough food for thirty years. .He has plans to be a tortoise for 30 years, so how can he even talk about dominating the world! Dong Zhuo wanted to be a thousand-year-old tortoise, but the common people in Chang'an were not happy about it. Folk songs can best represent the aspirations of the common people. At that time, there was such a folk song: Qianlicao, He Qingqing; ten days divination, no birth.The combination of Qianlicao is the word "Dong", and Shiribu is the word "Zhuo".It means, Dong Zhuo, why are you still alive, Dong Zhuo, you can die.

After cursing and venting, the common people washed up and went to sleep, but someone had to come forward to kill Dong Zhuo, and history entrusted this important task to a man named Wang Yun. Wang Yun, courtesy name Zishi, was born in Qi County, Taiyuan (now in Shanxi).Wang Yun's growth basically followed the typical line of an upright and decent young man with ideals and ambitions. He was born in a famous family that has been an official for generations. He is neither like Cao Cao who is free to walk around with a cage and be mischievous all day long, nor is he like the super girls and fast boys who are pursued by children nowadays. His idols are great heroes like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

With great ambitions, love of learning, and diligent practice of martial arts, Wang Yun has successfully grown into a young man with both civil and military skills, a model youth in Shanxi. Once, Guo Linzong, a famous scholar, visited Wang Yun's house. Seeing that Wang Yun was well-mannered, generous in conversation, and good in opinion, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wang Xianggong is really a great talent, and he will definitely become Wang Zuo's talent in the future!" "The history. The smooth growth process has made Wang Yun's stamina and integrity, and also made him inflexible. At the age of 19, Wang Yun was recommended as a county official.At that time, there was a young Taibao named Zhao Jin in Jinyang, Shanxi, who was doing evil and domineering in the local area because of his backing in the imperial court.No one dared to provoke him, but Wang Yun was the only one who was not afraid of tigers when he was born, so he arrested Zhao Jin and beheaded him for public display.This incident was very pleasing to the hearts of the people, and it also made Wang Yun famous.However, Wang Yun was happy, but his boss was unlucky.The Zhao family bribed the eunuchs to sue the court. The emperor was furious and executed Liu Zan, the local prefect.Wang Yun felt sorry for the prefect, and guarded the funeral for him for three years.

It can be seen from this incident that although Wang Yun has a strong sense of justice, he is too reckless, lacks awareness of the overall situation, and acts recklessly.Three years later, Wang Yun embarked on his official career again, but the justice and stubbornness in his chest were not extinguished. In Wang Yun's township, there is a rascal named Lu Fo, who is ignorant and has bad conduct, but relying on his family's money, he asks the prefect Wang Qiu to give him an official position.Wang Qiu is really a jerk, I don't know what kind of benefits he has received in private, so he insists on calling this Lu Fu as a supplementary official.The upright Wang Yun naturally couldn't understand it, and debated with Wang Qiu in public, Wang Qiu became furious and put Wang Yun in a cell, planning to kill him sometime.Governor Deng Sheng always respected Wang Yun's character. Hearing about this, he rode a fast horse to the yamen and released Wang Yun on bail. Wang Yun only lost his life.

In 184, the Yellow Turban Army revolted. As the governor of Yuzhou, Wang Yun went to the front to suppress the rebel army and surrendered countless enemies.Among the seized letters from the Yellow Turban Army, Wang Yun discovered the letters between the Central Attendant Zhang Rang and the Yellow Turban Army.Zhang Rang was powerful at the time, who would dare to provoke him?The subordinates persuaded Wang Yun not to touch the head, but Wang Yun didn't believe in evil, so he went to the emperor to sue Zhang Rang. What a cunning person Zhang Rang is, he not only settled the matter, but also sent Wang Yun to prison.People thought that Wang Yun would die this time. Fearing that he would be insulted by the eunuchs, Situ Yangci brought a glass of poisoned wine and persuaded him to drink, hoping that he would die peacefully and suffer less pain.However, Wang Yun's face was full of righteousness, and he reprimanded sharply: "As a minister, I offended the emperor. The emperor let the minister die, and the minister had to die. I should die in accordance with the law of the country. How can I drink these milk-like poisons?" After speaking, throw the cup to the ground.

It can be regarded as God taking care of the wayward people. At the critical moment of life and death, someone came to rescue Wang Yun again. This time Wang Yun's savior is none other than He Jin we mentioned earlier.He Jin was Zhang Rang's opponent. According to the principle of "the enemy's opponent is a friend", he joined other officials to write a letter to the emperor and released Wang Yun from the dungeon. Repeatedly in danger of losing his head, the cruel and real life has worn away Wang Yun's recklessness and faded away his youthfulness. The cool brother Wang Yun finally began to give in to life, and understood what "avoiding disaster" is and what is it. It's called "Patience".

After he was released from the prison, Wang Yun hid in the countryside under his name and did not return to the capital to attend the funeral until Emperor Ling passed away.His mortal enemy Zhang Rang jumped into the river, and Wang Yun became a servant under He Jin's promotion.Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, and Wang Yun became a situ under him. If life is the best teacher, then Wang Yun at this time is the fastest growing student.Beside Dong Zhuo, the old Wang Ku who couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes finally grew into Wang Situ with a knife in his heart. Witnessing Dong Zhuo's actions, according to Wang Yun's character, killing him ten thousand times would not be enough to appease the anger in his heart.However, Wang Situ knew that if he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, he should not act recklessly, but had to wait patiently and wait for the opportunity.

In Wen Rui'an's novel, the famous arrester Leng Xue lurks in the jungle for three whole days and nights in order to kill "that man". He turns into a fossil, does not eat or drink, and does not move at all. Finally, he waits for the opportunity and kills "that man".At this time, Wang Yun, who was lurking beside Dong Zhuo, was a more cold-blooded hunter than cold-blooded. He lowered his noble head, bent his iron-framed spine, gathered all his sharp edges, and flattered Dong Zhuo in every possible way.At that time, all the officials moved from Luoyang to Chang'an first, and Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang to resist his son Sun Jian for a period of one year.During this year, the government was managed by Wang Yun, who handled all matters in a proper manner and won Dong Zhuo's trust.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but in 192 AD, the spring rain in Chang'an was extraordinarily generous. It rained continuously for more than two months.Wang Yun, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui discussed it in private. It seems that Dong Zhuo is so inhumane that he has aroused the wrath of the heavens. Now killing Dong Zhuo is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people. This is the right time for us to act. But where to start?Dong Zhuo should know that many people are interested in the head on his neck, so he brought Lu Bu as his personal bodyguard 24 hours a day, and he himself has a big waist, which is difficult to deal with.So in today's world, it is almost impossible to find someone who can get close to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Yang Zan's troubled expression, Wang Yun smiled slightly. He parted his lips lightly, and whispered two words, which almost shocked Yang Zan's jaw—Lv Bu. That's right, Lu Bu!Wang Situ neither had a fever nor took drugs.He said these two words very clearly in a state of incomparable sobriety, just because during the long and arduous wait-and-see, he penetrated the phenomenon to see the essence and discovered some things that ordinary people did not discover. On the surface, Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu are like father and son, but the relationship between father and son based on interests is just acting, but Dong Zhuo is too involved in the drama, and he really regards Lv Bu as a son who can clean up if he wants to clean up.It is recorded in the history books that "to taste a small frustration, pull out your halberd and throw the cloth". Once Lv Bu annoyed Dong Zhuo for a small matter, Dong Zhuo picked up the iron spear and threw it over. Later, although the two reconciled on the surface as before, Wang Yun could tell that a grudge had already been planted in Lu Bu's heart. In addition, there is a woman standing between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.This woman is called Diao Chan in Zhong, but this is Luo Guanzhong's wishful thinking.In history, Diaochan is not a personal name, just like people call Dong Zhuo a grand master, Diaochan is also an official position.It originally referred to Diao Chan Crown, which was a hat worn by attendant officials, and later referred to the maid in charge of this hat. It is mentioned in "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that Dong Zhuo once asked Lv Bu to guard the central pavilion, and Lv Bu took the opportunity to have an affair with the maid, worried that Dong Zhuo would find out, and felt uneasy. So is the rift between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu really big enough to turn Lu Bu against him and kill Dong Zhuo?Wang Situ thought it was easy to answer this question, thinking about how Lu Bu treated his boss Ding Yuan back then?Lu Bu was able to kill Ding Yuan who treated him favorably, and naturally he could also kill Dong Zhuo who had a suspicion. Not missing the opportunity, Wang Yun quickly found Lu Bu and explained his plan in this way.At first, Lu Bu was jealous of being Dong Zhuo's adopted son, so it was inconvenient to attack him.Wang Yun persuaded: "Your surname is Lu, his surname is Dong, and you have no ties of flesh and blood. You treat him as a father, and when he throws you with an iron halberd, do you think you are a son?" These words hit Lu Bu's sore spot, Lu Bu then made up his mind to go with Wang Yun. In this way, when Dong Zhuo didn't know it, the two people he trusted the most had united and set up a murderous knife on his head. The opportunity to make a move came as soon as it was said.In April of this year, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had been ill for a long time, got better, so all the officials of the court held wine in Weiyang Palace to celebrate.Dong Zhuo strutted into the palace, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu's subordinates had already disguised themselves as palace guards and were waiting for him outside the gate of the palace.As soon as Dong Zhuo entered, Lv Bu's men swarmed up and held Dong Zhuo down. Dong Zhuo yelled, "Where is my son?" and turned to look for Lv Bu. Lv Bu replied, "There is an order to punish the thief." Only then did Dong Zhuo understand that his good son Lv Bu had already betrayed him.Lü Bu stabbed at him with a spear, and Dong Zhuo died on the spot. After Dong Zhuo's death, the people of Chang'an flocked to the streets, singing and dancing, having great fun.Huangfusong led people to search Meiwu, and found 20,000 to 30,000 jin of gold, 80,000 to 90,000 jin of silver, and countless other treasures.The eminent Dong Taishi ended his crude performance on the historical stage in this way. It was Dong Zhuo's mistake to trust Lu Bu, a brainless warrior who had a history of betrayal, but it was Dong Zhuo's own actions that really caused his death.When Dong Zhuo first entered Chang'an, he once asked Huangfusong: "Are you afraid of me?" Huangfusong replied concisely and forcefully: "If you can practice benevolent government and assist the court, I will be too happy. How can I be afraid of you; if you go against the law, Who in the world is not afraid of you, and I'm not the only one?" When you rely on violence to poison the world and make everyone in the world fear you, it is the day when you are decapitated. The popular saying nowadays "Live yourself and let others live" can be used as a footnote for Dong Zhuo's death.
