Chapter 24 Chapter 22: Beasts in Spring Garden
The deposed emperor was still young, and Empress Dowager He cried all day long.Together, the two were deeply claustrophobic in the cold palace Yong'an Palace.Spring comes to emptiness, and the flowers and the moon only add to the sadness.
Dong Zhuo strictly ordered the guards in the cold palace: "Surveillance is not negligent!"
The guards stood guard, made spring sleepiness, and yawned.Hearing the sad singing from Youlou suddenly, he pricked up his ears intentionally or unintentionally.
Grass green smoke
Curly double flying swallow
Luoshui a green
Stranger people admire
Looking at the deep blue clouds
it's my old palace
who is loyal
vent my resentment
After the guard listened, he wrote it on a piece of paper and told Xiangguo: "Xiangguo, the abolished Emperor Hongnong made such a poem and sang it."
Dong Zhuo looked at the poem and asked, "Is Li Ru here?" He showed Li Ru the poem and said, "Look at this. You are still in the palace, and you still write such a poem. Letting them live will cause future trouble. The Queen Mother and Leave the deposed emperors to you. Kill them."
"Take orders."
Li Ru was originally the minion of a beast, ruthless at all.Immediately, he brought more than ten powerful soldiers and flew to Yong'an Palace.
"Where is King Hongnong?"
He babbled upstairs.King Hongnong and Empress Dowager He were upstairs indulging in the sadness of spring, and they were surprised to see Li Ru.
Li Ru smiled and said: "Don't make a fuss. The Xiangguo gave you wine, so that you can enjoy the spring in peace, and I'm here to pass it on. This is the longevity wine, which is a good wine for prolonging the life of a hundred years. Come, have a drink."
As he spoke, Li Ru took out a jug of wine and forced the cup into the hand of the deposed emperor.Emperor Fei frowned tightly, and said with tears in his eyes, "This is the Poison Bar."
The queen mother also shook her head, and said, "How can Xiangguo give us longevity wine!? Li Ru, if it's not poisonous wine, drink it first."
Li Ru glared and said, "What, don't you drink? I want these two things."
As he spoke, he handed over Bai Lian and the dagger.
"Ah... are you telling us to die?"
"You can choose one thing you like." Li Ru said indifferently and viciously.
King Hongnong's sad song with tears in his eyes:
The world is changing, the sun and the moon are turning
Abandon Wancheng and retreat to defend the feudal domain
I'm forced to die soon
Empty and empty tears
After singing, he cried and fell to the ground, dying.
The Empress Dowager stared at Li Ru, and said: "The national traitor! Idiot! You are about to perish!...Ah, my brother He Jin is so stupid to lure such a beast into the capital!"
The queen mother scolded madly.Li Ru thought it was troublesome, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and threw her down from the railing of the tall building.
"How is it?"
Dong Zhuo drank fine wine while waiting for Li Ru's good news.
Soon after Li Ru came back, his robe was stained with blood, and he handed over two human heads abruptly, and said, "Xiangguo, follow orders!"
These are the heads of King Hongnong and Empress Dowager He.Two human heads with closed eyes.But from Dong Zhuo's point of view, those eyes opened angrily, eager to jump out and hit him.
He frowned and said, "It's fine if you don't show me that thing. Go and bury it outside the city."
From then on, Dong Zhuo drank heavily day and night, beheading anyone who displeased him, regardless of whether he was an internal official or a female official in the harem.Every night, he would lie on the emperor's couch and indulge in spring sleep.
one day.He came out of Yangcheng, pretended to be a royal while drunk, and drove a horse-drawn carriage with many beauties, for a leisurely excursion in the plum blossom forest outside the city.
That day was the village commemorative day, and unsuspecting peasant men and women returned home dressed up.
Seeing this, Dong Xiangguo suddenly became furious in the carriage, and said, "As a farmer, he doesn't go to the fields on a sunny day, dresses up and runs around, he's a slacker who doesn't know etiquette!"
The young men and women were suddenly chased by Xiangguo soldiers, and they fled in all directions screaming.Those who escaped slowly were captured by soldiers.
Xiangguo was arrogant, and ordered: "The ox cart dismembers the corpse!"
So, the soldiers tied the hands and feet of the villagers with ropes, tied them to two cows, whipped the strong cows, and ran wildly in east and west directions.The hands and feet of the villagers were torn off, and the blood dyed the land of Meiyuan scarlet.
"Haha, it's much more interesting than viewing flowers!"
At dusk, the carriage returned to Yangcheng.
At this time, at the entrance of an alley, someone suddenly yelled: "The traitor!" Unexpectedly, he rushed towards the carriage.
The beauty screamed and the horse was frightened, causing an unexpected chaos.
"What are you doing?! Come on!"
Xiangguo's body is fat and his movements are slow, but his strength is astonishing.
The Assassin is a tough man.He boarded the carriage, drew out his dagger, and stabbed at Xiangguo's belly.Dong Xiangguo knocked down the dagger and hugged the assassin tightly.The assassin couldn't move.
"Bad man! Who instigated it!?"
"Sorry!"
"Report your name!"
"..."
"We must be with the traitors. Tell me, who instigated it?!"
At this time, the assassin was in pain, and shouted: "Rebellion is a subject who betrays the lord. I don't remember it being your subject! I am a minister of the court, Yueqi School Captain Wu Fu!"
"Cut him!"
Dong Zhuo kicked him off the carriage, and the warriors immediately stabbed Wu Fu with countless swords and guns, turning him into a hornet's nest.
After escaping from the capital, Yuan Shao was named the prefect of the distant Bohai County.Later, every time I heard about the situation in Luoyang, I felt depressed.Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly sent a letter, urging his comrades in Luoyang, Wang Yun, who was ranked among the three princes, to raise an incident.
However, when Wang Yun received the letter, he was suffering day and night, and he had no good strategy to attack Dong Xiangguo.
Therefore, although Wang Yun went to court every day to deal with government affairs, he was listless, alone, and depressed.
One day, it happened that the old ministers of the former court were in the same room, and there was no senior official who had the same breath as Dong Xiangguo.Wang Yun was secretly happy, and thought to himself: "A good opportunity from God!" He hastily invited everyone present, and said: "Today is Xia's birthday, how about you all come to the Zhuli Pavilion in the next hall?"
"Be sure to go, and congratulate the public on his birthday!"
There is no one who calls it inconvenient.Everyone was depressed, and they all wanted to avoid Dong Zhuo's minions and speak their minds.
Wang Yun went to Zhuli Pavilion first and quietly prepared the banquet.Soon, the ministers of the former dynasty gathered quietly at night.
This is a secret gathering of unlucky and frustrated ministers, and the atmosphere of the banquet is gloomy.At the beginning of the persuasion, Wang Yun stared at the cold wine glass in a daze, and tears fell down.
A guest couldn't see it, and said: "My lord, it's a rare birthday party, so you should be happy. Why are you crying?"
Wang Yun let out a long sigh, and said, "Hey, how can you wish for a birthday like this now?! Since the previous dynasty, he has been in the position of the three princes and undertook government affairs, but he is helpless against Dong Zhuo's power. Hearing the complaints of the people, seeing the decline of the Han Dynasty , how can you still be drunk at the birthday banquet!"
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with his fingers.
Hearing this, the whole audience sighed, and said: "Ah... was born at an untimely time. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty used a three-foot sword to kill the white snake and pacify the world. You have been king for four hundred years. Unexpectedly, we were born In such an apocalypse!"
"It's not good for me to wait for my life in such a situation."
"...Having said that, whoever dares to criticize Dong Xiangguo and his party will lose their lives..."
Everyone cried and complained, and the candlelight was dimmed.At this moment, someone at the last seat suddenly laughed with high fives: "Hahahaha, wahhahaha..."
The ministers were surprised and turned their faces to look at the last seat.There was a young courtier there, toasting alone, his face was fair and flushed.From just now, he has been watching everyone sobbing and complaining, and he finds it ridiculous.
Wang Yun accused him of being rude, and said: "I think who it is, isn't that the captain Cao Cao? Why are you laughing?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. But I can't help laughing. Everyone is a court minister, crying from night to dawn, from morning to dusk, it's just crying anyway. According to this, all people in the world will have to cry to live. Besides, it's a birthday, specially Coming together, yet weeping like this...Wahhahaha...I'm being rude, it's ridiculous, I can't stop it. Ahahaha, ahahaha..."
"Stop! You are a descendant of Cao Shen, prime minister, and you have received the great favor of the Han family for four hundred years. Don't you feel sad about the current court situation?! Are our worries so ridiculous!? Answer! No answer! Well, I will never forgive you!"
"This sudden anger was unexpected..." Cao Cao became a little serious, put on an old-fashioned look, and continued: "It's not unreasonable for me to laugh. Everyone is a minister at the moment, but they only care about it day and night like a girl's family. Sighing and sobbing, when it comes to punishing Dong Zhuo, there is no way out.... So hopeless, why don't you lament the current situation, use it as a chair for a beauty, listen to the huqin, and shed tears of emotion?! Thinking so , isn't it ridiculous?!"
Regarding Cao Cao's irony, a group of officials and officials headed by Wang Yun all showed sullen expressions, and the banquet was silent.
"Since you utter wild words, what is the best way to kill Dong Zhuo? Could it be that you are full of confidence and boast?" Wang Yun pressed again and asked scoldingly.
People held their breath and focused their eyes on Cao Cao's fair face to see how Cao Cao would answer.
"How can there be no plan!" He raised his eyebrows and said resolutely, "Xiaosheng is not talented, but if I hand it over to Xiaosheng, Dong Zhuo's head will be cut off and hung on the head of Luoyang city. Please wait and see!"
To put it bluntly.
Wang Yun was delighted at his confident words, and said: "Captain Cao, as you just said is true, it is simply a righteous man descended from heaven to save all people from suffering. Tell me quickly, what is your plan? I Waiting to hear."
"So I would like to tell you this. The reason why I often approach Dong Zhuo and flatter and serve you on the surface, but to tell you all, is because I have already vowed in my heart that if I have the opportunity, I will kill the old thief immediately."
"Uh!... So, you have made up your mind a long time ago?"
"If it wasn't so, how dare you laugh out loud in front of all of you and utter wild words?"
"Ah, is there such a righteous man in the world!?"
Wang Yun was deeply moved, and everyone felt relieved and beamed with joy.
At this time, Cao Cao said: "I have something to ask for from the prince."
"You don't have to be polite if you want anything, but please tell me."
"It's nothing else. I often hear people say that the Wang family has a rare and famous knife inlaid with seven gems since ancient times. In order to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Xiaosheng is willing to borrow the famous knife."
"If you can achieve your goal..."
"This matter must be done beautifully. Dong Xiangguo has been doting on me recently, and he completely treats me as a confidant. So it doesn't take much trouble to get close to him and kill him in one thought."
"Oh. As long as the operation goes smoothly, it can be said to be a great fortune in the world. What a pity for a famous sword that has been heirloom!"
Immediately, Wang Yun ordered his retainers to fetch the seven-treasure saber from the secret treasure, handed it to Cao Cao himself, and said: "However, if you miss it, the matter will be revealed. It is no small matter. You must be very careful."
"Do not worry!"
Cao Cao accepted the sword, and the banquet was over that night.He is valiant and heroic, and he is on his way home.The Qibao sharp knife was like a luminous bead belt, shining brightly around his waist.
