Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 283 The Disaster of the Party ([-])

Two years later

Autumn of the tenth year of Yanxi

Luo Yang
"Daddy, is this Luoyang? It's so beautiful!" A five-year-old girl was sitting on the carriage, looking around, feeling extremely curious about everything in Luoyang City: "It would be great if we could live here too. You don’t have to face yellow sand and killing for the rest of your life, it’s best to take Brother Niu Fu to live here too.”

"Yes, one day, I will let our Dong family become people with Luoyang household registration, get rid of the lowly status of Liangzhou people, and become a noble Luoyang person." A dark young man in the carriage said firmly.

He is Dong Zhuo, he is 28 years old now, and the little girl who spoke just now is his daughter.

When he first entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was cautious, he dared not offend anyone, he always smiled when he saw anyone, for fear of accidentally offending some powerful person.

After all, it is the imperial capital, and it must be a place where the rich and powerful gather, so you have to be cautious.

"I think I, Dong Zhuo, was born in a humble age, and one day I will be able to enter Luoyang to be a Habayashiro. It is said that Wang You'an, the ancestor of the Wang family in Liaodong, started as a Habayashiro, and his name will last forever." Dong Zhuo is full of hope for the future. Being able to stand out through hard work and make those gentry children who look down on him convinced him.

He worked as an official in Longxi County for several years, and then was transferred to Liangzhou Governor's Mansion as an official for several years. He thought that his life would be over. Who would have thought that he suddenly received news a few months ago that the court asked him to be an official? Go to Luoyang to be Habayashiro.

Later, someone told him that it was a nobleman surnamed Wang from the imperial court who used his connections to promote him from Liangzhou, where he had no hope of official career, to Luoyang.

"Your surname Wang?"

Dong Zhuo thought for a long time, and finally thought of his old boss, Wang Guang, the former prefect of Longxi.

"Wang Taishou did not forget me, Dong Zhuo, such a small person. It is really a blessing in my life, Dong Zhuo."

Now that he has come to Luoyang, he will bring his daughter to see the world by the way, and when the time comes, he will just board his daughter at the home of a comrade-in-arms.

There are some Liangzhou people in Liangzhou who are especially good at fighting. They have obtained Luoyang household registration by virtue of their military exploits and have become noble people from the imperial capital. Dong Zhuo also knows some of these people, and some of them have good relationships, such as Duan Yu.

Before Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, he specially brought a lot of money and souvenirs from his home. After arriving in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo did not report to the court first, but first visited Wang Guang with souvenirs and money gifts.

But he didn't know the way to the palace, so he asked passers-by: "May I ask where the Wang family's residence in Luoyang is?"

"You also want to visit Mr. Deyao, one of the Eight Talents?" The person in question is a wealthy businessman from Luoyang, who also wanted to visit Wang Guang, pretending to ask Wang Guang for advice on Confucian classics, but the real purpose is to show off himself to others in the future He is also someone who has seen celebrities.

However, even though he spent 300 million yuan, he still couldn't even enter the gate of the palace.

Therefore, Wang Guang's prestige is even higher, and scholars all over the world praise Wang Guang as a real celebrity who is indifferent to fame and wealth.

Since Emperor Liu Zhi began to implement the "Three Mutual Laws" and suppressed and arrested the scholars, the rest of the scholars have formed cliques to fight against each other, and based on the scholars' hatred for eunuchs and their backgrounds, they have judged [Eight Talents], that is, the most powerful people in the world. The eight scholars who are famous, the most relaxed, and the most indifferent to fame and fortune.

And Wang Guang from the Liaodong Wang family is one of the Eight Talents. Every day, many powerful and wealthy businessmen want to visit Wang Guang, and some poor children also squeeze their heads to see Wang Guang. Some wealthy businessmen even spend millions of dollars. Begging to enter the palace for a stroll, but was ruthlessly rejected by Wang Guang.

Knowing that his old boss was actually one of the Eight Talents, Dong Zhuo was very upset.

He used to help Wang Guang to embezzle in Longxi, and every time he was embezzled, his embezzlement amounted to hundreds of millions, so it was normal for him to look down on the millions of rich businessmen.

But such a scholar who embezzled billions of dollars unexpectedly became one of the Eight Talents and was worshiped by the people all over the world, just because he was born in the Liaodong Wang family.

"We Kansai samurai fight life and death, but we can only be officials, and we will be dismissed by the court at any time, but these Kanto gentry can easily become high-ranking officials by relying on their own family background and doing nothing. If the imperial court gives it to the officials, they can still give it up generously, because as long as they want, they can get it back at any time."

"God, how unfair you are to us humble children!"

After Dong Zhuo lamented in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, my old boss didn't forget me, Dong Zhuo, and promoted me to Luoyang. My Dong Zhuo's hard days are coming to an end!"

Soon after, Dong Zhuo came to the luxury house that the Wang family bought in Luoyang according to the guidance of others.

At the gate of the palace, there was an endless stream of visitors, but there were no white people, and there were great scholars talking and laughing. Those who came to visit Wang Guang were all famous people in the world, and the children of the humble family did not even have the qualifications to enter the door.

Dong Zhuo stood awkwardly at the gate of the palace with his daughter, not knowing what to do and not daring to jump in line.

Fortunately, it was getting late now, after Dong Zhuo waited for an hour, the visitors finally left, and the gate of the palace gradually became cold.

At this time, Dong Zhuo said to the servant of the palace who was about to close the door: "Longxi Dong Zhuo, come to visit Mr. Deyao, please... hey, you!"

boom!
The servants of the palace had seen too many dignitaries and celebrities, so how could they think highly of Dong Zhuo, a child from such a humble family, they just ignored him and closed the door without even looking at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo froze in place, not knowing what to do, but he didn't dare to leave casually, for fear of offending Wang Guang, so he stood at the gate of the palace, hoping that Wang Guang would be moved by his sincerity.

an hour later
Inside the palace

"Master, Dong Zhuo has been standing outside the door for an hour." A maid said respectfully.

"En." Wang Guang soaked his feet in ginseng water, watched Yuan Feng send the letter, and then remained silent for a long time.

The content of the letter roughly said that the emperor is sick now and feels like he is going to die soon.

The Yuan family suggested to unite with Dou Wu and Chen Fan to take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's death and the new emperor's power, and bring retainers and private soldiers to break into the palace, forcibly behead all the eunuchs, and completely eliminate the power of the eunuchs.

Wang Guang thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind. He didn't dare to bet on the abilities of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, in case they failed...

"Master, that Dong Zhuo has been standing there for an hour." The maid who washed Wang Guang's feet continued to remind.

"Huh?" Wang Guang ended his thoughts on whether to participate in the palace coup, glanced at the 16-year-old charming and beautiful maid who was making trouble at him, and said coldly to her: "Pour out the water, and tell the servants by the way, bring him to the house." come in."

"promise."

The maid wiped the water from Wang Guang's feet, then poured the footwashing water into the ditch, and informed the servants in the mansion to bring in Dong Zhuo from outside the mansion.

outside the palace

"Daddy, why are we standing here all this time? It's so cold~" Dong Zhuo's daughter hugged her body, shivering non-stop.

Dong Zhuo at the side took off his coat and put it on his daughter, he would rather suffer from the cold than let his daughter suffer from the cold.

"Alas... I, Dong Zhuo, am just from a poor family. How can I expect the family to promote me? It's my appearance." Dong Zhuo was also a little shaken. He was going to leave here, find an inn and restaurant to stay for one night, and bring him back tomorrow. The daughter went to visit those comrades.

Just as he was about to leave.

squeak--

The gate of the palace was opened, and it was still the servant just now, and the servant who was so indifferent before said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong Shaolang, please come in."

"Ah?" Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and delighted: "Thank you, thank you!"

While holding his daughter's hand into the palace, he stuffed a piece of pure white jade into the hands of the servants of the palace, and thanked the servants of the palace very humbly.

"Dong Shaolang has a heart, and he will have a bright future in the future." The servant of the palace smiled and accepted the jade boldly.
