Chapter 214: Zhaoning Events (I)

Zhaoning was the second year name of Emperor Liu Bian of Han.

When he first ascended the throne, He Jin suggested that the year name be Guangxi. Although Liu Bian was not very satisfied, he finally agreed.

I always feel very awkward in my heart, and I feel that He Jin has intervened too many things.

Now that He Jin is dead, he feels very sad. Only when he truly faces the entire Han world can he know how many cold winds and rains He Jin has blocked him. Sometimes, after losing it, he knows how precious what he originally has.

I feel very depressed and I have no interest in the government.

And all this fell into Dong Zhuo's eyes, who was observing secretly, and it became even more disgusting.

This is the fourth time that I have visited Cai Yong in two days, but Cai Yong has fallen ill since things have stabilized in the court.

An old scholar supports the normal operation of the entire court in times of crisis.

Although it was only a short day, on this day, many earth-shaking things happened in the entire Luoyang City.

Foreign troops entered the capital, outside Luoyang City, Liangzhou Army and Bingzhou Army confronted each other.

In the city, after losing He Jin, all the people were in a state of being headless and were swallowed by people.

The Northern Army was divided into pieces.

Now the camp cavalry, Yue cavalry and Changshui army were protected because they were not in Luoyang. The infantry and shooting army had become a mess. The left cavalry of the Yulin Army became in chaos due to the death of Miao. Although the right cavalry has not been divided, there have been signs of chaos. In the entire Luoyang, only the Beigongwei did not appear at all.

Even the new army in Naxiyuan, except for Zhang Xiu leading the troops to return to Dong Zhuo's command, the other seven schools were still waiting and watching.

For Cai Yong, such a chaotic situation, he was obviously a little too poor to deal with.

The most important thing is that because of him, the defense of the mansion was empty. The daughter was plundered. Although the son-in-law had already taken the people to chase him, it still caused a great blow to Cai Yong. Exhausted, frightened, guilty, and concern...

All kinds of things come together, and Cai Yong had a high fever on the first night after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

Fortunately, Keats is here, and the old man saved his life. However, his condition continued to go back and forth, and sometimes he was confused. When he was awake, he kept asking Cai Yan whether he was back. Or he hugged Xiao Wenji and shed tears silently on the couch.

Keats said: "Mr. Bosch's disease is still in his heart, I'm afraid it won't be cured for a while."

It would be fine if this was normal, but now Dong Zhuo is in need of someone to advise him, but there is no one around him who can advise him. Li Ru did not accompany him, and Shi Sun Rui was not around. Cai Yong, the only one who could give him advice, is now confused. The son he trusts most is running around for his wife, and Dong Zhuo is very helpless.

Sitting in the meeting hall, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and pondered.

Dian Wei handed him an edict that day, saying that Jian Shuo asked him to pass it on before he died.

Dian Wei was not very clear about the contents inside. He could not recognize a few big characters, except for writing the name, Dian Wei could not recognize many characters in the edict. Moreover, he didn't care about it, and the edict had nothing to do with him.

Besides, Jian Shuo said that he would give the edict to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Qi came and went in a hurry, and he had almost no time to talk to Dong Qi. Of course, on the other hand, in Dian Wei's view, Dong Zhuo is the father of his brother, and it is no big deal to hand it over to Dong Zhuo if someone named him.

Therefore, after handing over the edict to Dong Zhuo, Dian Wei left this matter behind.

He had a lot of things to do, especially the mastermind behind the collusion between thieves and scavenging the mansion. With Ban Yi and others' investigation, it gradually surfaced. However, the man was a famous man in the Han Dynasty. After this incident, Dian Wei deeply understood a truth. To hit a snake, he had to hit seven inches. When treating the enemy, it must be a fatal blow and it will be all in one go.

He ordered the dragon cavalry to closely monitor the man's movements, and Dian Wei and others began to collect evidence from the man.

The gate of the mansion is now tightly guarded, and hundreds of Liangzhou elite cavalry are stationed on the entire Yingchunmen Street. Therefore, when Dong Zhuo was pondering, he was quiet and no one came to disturb him.

Suddenly, footsteps came.

Dong Zhuo raised his head unhappily...

"Shuying, what's wrong with you in a hurry?"

The person who walked in from outside was Dong Zhuo's brother, Dong Min.

He said in surprise: "Brother, do you know who I met outside just now?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned, "Who is it!"

"It's the son of King Jing!"

This is Jing Bogong, referring to the late Taiwei Zhong Hao, who served as the general of Duo Liao, defeated the Xiongnu in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and pacified the Qiang Rebellion. Dong Zhuo joined the army in Liangzhou in his early years, and thanks to Zhong Hao's appreciation and promotion, he was promoted step by step.

Later, when Zhong Hao left Liangzhou, Dong Zhuozheng served as the captain of Xuji and failed to see him off.

Shortly after Zhong Hao returned to Luoyang, he died of illness. Dong Zhuo even failed to see the last time, and he felt deeply regretful.

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo heard that it was Zhong Hao's descendant, he suddenly stood up.

He looked a little excited and said loudly: "Hurry and please."

Dong Min quickly turned around and went out. After a while, they brought the two of them in from outside. One was about the same age as Dong Zhuo, but in his forties. The other looked very young, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

"Is it...Ying Bo?"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the person, and after a moment he called out the other party's words.

Zhong Hao has two sons, the eldest son, Zhong Dai, whose name is Gongzu, but he died of illness during the Guanghe period.

The second son, Zongfu, is the middle-aged man in front of him. He was about the same age as Dong Zhuo, and he met in Liangzhou.

Zhong Fu's character "天天" is Ying Bo, and Dong Zhuo directly called him the character "天" to show intimacy.

"Zhongying, I haven't seen you for a long time, this is getting more and more energetic!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, walked over as fast as he flew over, and grabbed Zhong Fu's hand, "Ying Bo, it's really been a long time since we saw each other. When did we arrive in Luoyang? I heard that you didn't work under the command of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, earlier?"

"Oh, two months ago, I received the edict. But I didn't expect..."

Zhong Fu said, reaching out to pull the young man behind him over, "Shen Fu, I'm not here to pay homage to your Uncle Dong."

"Zhong Shao meets Uncle Dong!"

The young man was burly and gentle, but he had a strong aura. Dong Zhuo was not only in a trance, but he vaguely felt that Zhong Shao, who was standing in front of him, overlapped with Zhong Hao without realizing it. He couldn't help but whisper: "So, it's really like it!"

"This is my eldest brother's son. He had served under Liu Youzhou earlier and served as the Chief of the North City."

"North City Chief?"

This is not a high-ranking official, or even a very dangerous official position. The so-called city chief is only above the Men Bo, and it is a small official position that cannot be even smaller. Moreover, it is very dangerous to face the attacks of the Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northern city of Youzhou.

Dong Zhuo was a little dissatisfied and said, "How could Liu Youzhou do this?"

Zhong Shao hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be accustomed to Liu Youzhou. In fact, Liu Youzhou doesn't know my identity... The reason why I went there was because my family ancestor was the general of Liao and attacked Hu outside the Great Wall. My nephew did not want to rely on his grandfather's prestige, so he changed his name and changed his surname, because he wanted to sit up from the smallest place. It was not until a month ago that Liu Youzhou knew my identity."

Dong Zhuo praised him and nodded repeatedly.

"Shen Fu, it is indeed a pillar of the country."

"How can I compare the reputation of a general of tigers and wolves under my uncle? Now even the people from Wuhuan outside the Great Wall know the name of Xiping."

"Shen Fu has been too honored, too honored!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but twist his beard and burst into laughter, but the pride in his expression could not be concealed.

After the two of them were greeted, Dong Zhuo and Dong Min sat down.

Zhong Fu said: "If I hadn't met Shuying on the street today, I would have almost never seen Zhongying."

Dong Zhuo looked dim and said softly: "It's not that I'm willing to act so arrogantly, but... Ying Bo, I don't hide it from you. My daughter-in-law was kidnapped, and my son led his men to pursue Hangu Pass. Earlier, I thought my son was proud of his life in Luoyang, but today I realized that my lion was jealous of many people. As well as the many officials in Yingchun Gate were also implicated. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any evidence, otherwise I wouldn't have spared that person."

A complex look flashed in Zhongfu's eyes and sighed, "This is the case when the villain and medium-sized people are in charge. In fact, Zhongying, why do you have to force the evidence? With your current methods, you can just pull out the person and ask for it seriously."

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, why am I so confused? He is on the first day of the lunar month, and I am on the fifteenth day of the lunar month... Since he takes action against me first, how can I stand by? Shuying, please inform Jun Ming immediately and pull out the man."

"Here!"

In fact, everyone knows who that person is, but they don’t say it out loud.

There were rumors in the court earlier, and everyone knows who did it.

Dong Min left in a hurry. Zhong Fu pondered for a moment, but suddenly asked, "Have Zhongying heard of that rumor?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned, "What rumors?"

"There are folk songs on the streets of Luoyang these two days: Emperor Feidi, Wang Feiwang, thousands of riders and thousands of riders travel to Beimeng. I wonder if Zhongying had heard of it, and did he have any ideas?"

Dong Zhuo was silent...

After a moment, he sighed softly, "I have heard of it naturally. To be honest, I have also been worried about this for the past two days."

"worry?"

"Ying Bo, you are not an outsider, I might as well say it directly. I have the imperial edict of the late emperor in my hand, and I ordered me to assist General Dong Chong, the Cavalry General, and support King Chenliu ascend the throne. To be honest, King Chenliu is naturally intelligent, but he is not at all confused when facing major events. He is more like the emperor than the current saint. However, Dong Biqiu died, and although I have the imperial edict, I don't know what to do."

Zhong Fu smiled, "Zhongying, you are a little bit constrained... You hold the edict and have the qualifications to assist in the administration. If the late emperor really had this meaning, it would be not difficult to support King Chenliu. You have always been decisive, why did you hesitate about this?"

"this……"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but move with pride.

That's right, I have an edict in my hand, and I can be regarded as a minister who entrusts the orphanage. What's there to be afraid of?

Besides, the current emperor has nothing to do with me, and there is another queen mother above, so many things are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

But King Chenliu has no backing...

If I set up a defense to ascend the throne, wouldn’t it be his backer?

Sometimes, a word can fully stimulate a person's desires deep in his heart. Thinking of all the cold treatments he received back then, the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart was suddenly ignited. If I make a fuss and abolish things, I should follow Yi Yin and Huo Guang's actions. All those who insulted me back then would come and rely on me. Then see if they dare to be arrogant?

Then He Jin was just a slaughter of his family, but he could hold the troops of the world.

My background is no worse than his, so why can't I be a general?

Dong Zhuoyue thought that the more he felt that he should be abolished and was sneering. He couldn't help but sneer, and his fists clenched unknowingly.

However, he ignored one thing.

In fact, including Zhong Fu, it is also deliberately ignoring this matter.

He Jin was able to become a general because he occupied the identity of a relative of the foreigner. However, Dong Zhuo did not seem to have such a glamorous garment.

"Ying Bo, I plan to ask you as my military advisor, I wonder if I can?"

When Zhong Fu heard this, he was stunned at first, as if he was a little hesitant.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look gloomy, "Can you Bo Ying have the same idea as those people, thinking that I am vulgar and disdain to assist me?"

"Zhongying said this...well, I am still innocent now. If Zhongying, you don't dislike my inscrutability, I am willing to serve."
To be continued...
