I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 33 Dong Zhuo's Golden Swallow

Dong Min, who was fiddling with the bamboo slips in his hand, was quite surprised when he heard this: "My elder brother was requisitioned to Situ's mansion in the past, and the governor of Bingzhou who was recommended by Yuan Situ to take office is an old official of Yuan's family. Why does Situ want to humiliate his disciples now? "

Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, stood up, and walked slowly to the window, watching the pouring rain outside, fell into deep memories of the past.

"Being appointed governor of Bingzhou for my brother is considered an official of the Yuan family, but don't forget, how many people have you been a disciple of for my brother's ups and downs for decades? It's not just his Yuan family! The court last year repeatedly The big event, Duan Gong passed away. Yuan Gong is using the unbroken "Book of Changes" to remind the old man that he must see his own origin clearly, and the less educated people in border counties who don't even understand the fragments of the scriptures should know what to do. Stand in front of someone's house."

Dong Min fell silent when he heard this.

The Dong family brothers grew up in Liangzhou since they were young. They are heroes of the western region and are deeply respected by the Qiang tribes. However, in the eyes of the elites in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, the Han people in Liangzhou are out-and-out barbarians. This is true. Don't buckle the facts.

Even if Dong Zhuo is now in a detached position, it is still the case.

The Guandong gentry's attitude towards Liangzhou people is deeply rooted, and most Liangzhou people have accepted this reality, but the Dong brothers are different. They have been trying their best to get rid of the shackles of this 'inferior' all their lives.

It is also a matter of fate. Although Dong's household registration is in Liangzhou, both he and Dong Min were born in Yingchuan, because his father, Dong Junya, was the captain of the Lun family of Yingchuan at that time, and Dong Zhuo's name was Zhongying, and Dong Min's name was Dong Min. Shuying is also enough to prove the expectations and recognition of Liangzhou people for the Central Plains at that time - even being born in Yingchuan had to show off deliberately.

Dong Zhuo lived in Yingchuan when he was a child, and Yingchuan was also a major birthplace of the great Han family. There, there are beautiful manors, tall Wubao, and each manor owner owns thousands of hectares of land. There are countless Li, Shu and Qianshou, all of which left a deep impression on the young Dong Zhuo.

But these, after all, do not belong to him. His household registration is in Xiliang, so he is doomed to watch other people's Wubao manor grow bigger and bigger, and he can only wait for his father's term of office to come, with a look of reluctance. Go to the place of his registered permanent residence—the bitter cold place of Liangzhou where the Qiang people live together.

Perhaps from that time on, the young Dong Zhuo, who had seen the prosperity of the Yingchuan family, had already made up his mind - do princes and generals have a kindness?Don't be crazy!Sooner or later, I will build a 'Long Live Wu' that surpasses all of you aristocratic families.

With this ideal deeply hidden in his heart, Dong Zhuo moved from family to family after he entered the officialdom.

The official rules of the Han Dynasty are generally that the disciples and old officials only work for one family. For example, Liu Jian, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei’s teacher is Lu Zhi, so they will always have the brand of Lu Zhi’s disciples in their lives, even if Gongsun Zan was later killed by Liu Qi. He was recruited and even disguised himself for Liu Qifa, but in the final analysis, he is still a member of Lu Zhi's family.

But Dong Zhuo played a little extravagantly for the ideal in his heart.

The first Longxi prefect who appointed Dong Zhuo could be said to be Dong Zhuo's benefactor, and Dong Zhuo should naturally be his old official, but later Dong Zhuo was not restrained, but instead joined many camps.

The governor of Longxi, who conscripted him as a soldier and horse, was the first, and the governor of Liangzhou succeeded in enlisting Dong Zhuo, and this was the second. In Liangzhou, where wars continued, the relationship between the governor and the governor was generally very stiff. Pinch each other at both ends.

Later, Dong Zhuo, who worked in the governor's office, dealt with Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong again, and Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong happened to be at odds.

Dong Zhuo was promoted and appointed in various border counties all the way, and Zhang Huan himself admired Dong Zhuo, a fierce general in the border counties, at first, and specially transferred Dong Zhuo to serve as Sima in his army in the ninth year of Yanxi. The frequency was too high, which made Zhang Huan gradually hate his character. Even if Dong Zhuo secretly gave Zhang Huan a hundred horses, Zhang Huan refused.

What's more, when Dong Zhuo was transferred to the Western Regions to serve as the captain of Wuji, he was dismissed from the assembly line because he couldn't wipe the buttocks of Meng Tuo, the governor of Liangzhou, who had defeated the Shule Kingdom. Yuan Wei, who couldn't hit the pole, got involved and was conscripted into the government by Yuan Wei, and was later elected by Yuan Wei as the governor of Bingzhou.

The prefect of Longxi and the governor of Longxi became antagonists, and both conquered Dong Zhuo.

Not to mention the conflict between Duan Jiong and Zhang Huan, Dong Zhuo was also used.

Yuan Kai, who had no relationship with the martial arts officer of Bianjun, was willing to conscript Dong Zhuo into the mansion after Dong Zhuo fell from the horse...

If Lu Bu is a family slave with three surnames, then Dong Zhuo has at least five surnames!
It's just that he's smarter than Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo just keeps going back and forth to change the lintel, but he never cares if he's called daddy.

Now, the God of War in Liangzhou and Duan Jiong, who flirts with eunuchs, is dead, and Dong Zhuo, who knows everything from side to side, has lost one of his biggest backers. At this moment, the Yuan family, who is his other backer, will not have a broken "Book of Changes" Sent, its thoughts can be imagined:

Duan Xiong is dead, and the only person who can protect you is the Yuan family in Runan, who weighs his own weight carefully, the barbarian from Xiliang who doesn't even have family scriptures and fragments to rely on, who should you guard the gate and pledge allegiance to now? , Don't you have any clues in your heart?
……

Looking at the rain that was falling harder and harder outside the window, Dong Zhuo heaved a long sigh.

"Yuan Kui is too deceitful!"

Later, Dong Min's indignant voice came: "Mr. Duan has just died a few months ago? The old thief of the Yuan family can't wait to recruit everyone from my Liangzhou family. Brother, don't be afraid of him. Now that Xianbei is powerful, the southern court is also There is war, if there is no elder brother in Bingzhou, who else can Yuan Kai send to replace his elder brother?"

Dong Zhuo's smile was slightly bitter.

"Third brother, you have underestimated the family members of the Yuan family. The foundation of the Yuan family in the great man is absolutely unshakable. Look at the Yang ball, it can be regarded as a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor. His Majesty used it to eliminate Wang Fu and Duan Gong successively. , It can be said that there is no second in the limelight, but he is unrestrained, saying, "Gongqing Haoyou is like Yuan's sons, and he is engaged in self-management, so why bother to school Weixie!" But in a few months, you will see how he will end up again? "

Dong Min wondered, "Didn't this person die because of Cao Jie's remonstrance?"

"That's just an appearance. Although Cao Jie is powerful, he is a servant of the emperor's family! If your majesty wants to protect the Yang ball, what's the use of Cao Jie breaking his throat with remonstrance? In the end, someone forced your majesty to give up the sword."

Dong Min licked his lips, and he was a little wilted.

Who can force the emperor to give up the sword in his hand?

it goes without saying.

"Brother, are you willing to be driven away by the old man of the Yuan family?"

"To be honest, I'm unwilling, but I haven't found a good strategy to check and balance the old man Yuan. This former official of the Yuan family should continue to serve, and I have to continue to serve."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, turned around and turned back to the table, looking at the "Book of Changes" sent to him by Yuan Kai on the table, he didn't know what he thought of, and a little bit of anger appeared on his face.

Afterwards, he stretched out his hand and threw all those bamboo slips to the ground.

Dong Min was quite depressed when he saw the scattered bamboo slips on the ground.

It was not easy to clean it up, my elder brother really doesn't know how to be considerate to others.

"By the way, Shuying, brother Wei had a dream last night. I dreamed that a golden swallow came from the east, sat on a branch of our house, picked up golden branches to build a nest, and finally blew three times before flying north and flapping its wings. And go, I don't know what this dream means?"

Dong Min stared at Dong Zhuo dumbfounded, and said for a while, "Brother, are you asking me to interpret your dream?"

"Of course you can't solve it. I just told you about this matter. You will find a good prophecy for me in Jinyang City in the future, and solve my confusion!"

"Here!"

After finishing the order, Dong Zhuo turned his head and looked out the window, still muttering incessantly: "Jin Yan, Jin Yan, what exactly are you pointing at?"
