A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 385: Going against the grain and fearing the nightfall, another village has a bright future.

Changan
More than a year has passed since the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior has made many people hate him.

The original plan was to rely on the pastoral guards of other prefectures and counties in Guandong to break through Hangu Pass and enter the capital to serve the king.

As a result, after waiting for a year, not only was Dong Zhuo not destroyed, but the Guandong princes attacked each other. This made the ministers in the court realize that they still had to rely on themselves to get rid of Dong Zhuo.

Wangfu, this is the residence of Situ Wangyun in Chang'an, one of the three princes of the imperial court.

Today is Wang Yun's fifty-fourth birthday. He invited many officials from the court to come to the party.

Sili Colonel Huang Wan, Guojiu Chariot General Dong Cheng, Taichang Zhongfu, Shaofu Yang Biao, Imperial Servant Luxu, Dahonglu Zhou Huan, Guanglu Doctor Bai Yun, Chengmen Colonel Cui Lie, etc. All the ministers Wang Yun had good friends with were included in this list.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was night time. Wang Yun sent most of the people out in person and thanked them for coming to attend his birthday banquet.

After all the guests had left, Wang Yun went to the backyard alone and walked to a side room. The two guards at the door saluted Wang Yun and opened the door for him.

Walking into the door, there was a study room inside. He looked behind him and saw that the door was closed. He went straight to a bookshelf against the wall and turned the bronze cup on the shelf.

With a rumble, the low stone door emerged from the wall with calligraphy and paintings on the side and slowly opened.

As Wang Yun walked into the stone door, the stone door slowly closed in time, and with a "bang", the room fell into silence again.

Secret rooms are what the nobles of the Han Dynasty like to build in their mansions, because they believe that some things must be done in secret, and if things are not done secretly, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

Not only aristocratic families like to build secret rooms, but even emperors like to build secret rooms. When Emperor Huan Liu Zhi killed the powerful Liang Ji, it was in the secret room that he made a blood alliance with Shan Chao and other five princes to discuss countermeasures.

After walking through a corridor that was not too long, it suddenly became clear that there was a space the size of a room and a half. The furnishings inside were no different from the rooms on the ground.

There were already three people sitting inside, none other than Sili Colonel Huang Wan, Chariot and Cavalry General Dong Cheng, and Shaofu Yang Biao.

When they were in Luoyang, Huang Wan was a Taiwei and Yang Biao was a Situ. However, because they strongly opposed Dong Zhuo's westward migration, they were dismissed from their posts. Later, they were appointed as Guanglu Doctors at the same time. A few months ago, they were respectively appointed as Sili School Officers. Lieutenant, Shaofu.

Dong Zhuo was familiar with military strategy but not good at government affairs, so he was very optimistic about Wang Yun, who was skilled in government affairs and humble. Therefore, he won Dong Zhuo's trust and was appointed Shangshuling. After Yang Biao was dismissed, he succeeded him as Situ. , and concurrently served as Shangshu Ling.

"Master, all the guests have dispersed. I wonder why the three of us are left alone?"

Although Huang Wan had some speculations in her heart, she still had to hear Wang Yun's answer with her own ears before she felt relieved.

Wang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "You are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. You live in Han Dynasty and are loyal to Han Dynasty. How can I wholeheartedly adhere to Dong Zhuo? It's just for the great cause and bear the humiliation. That's all.

I was framed by Zhang Rang and imprisoned twice. If Wen Xian's father, Lieutenant Yang Ci, had not recommended me, how would I have been Wang Yun today?
If I really become Dong Zhuo's eagle dog, how can I live up to my family's name and live up to Taiwei Yang's expectations? You have misjudged me. "

Yang Biao sighed: "How could we not know your sincerity, Master? If we really believed that you were Dong Zhuo's man, how could we come here just because of a word from your slave?

Now that we have heard your true words, we are more relieved. Tell us, are we called here to eradicate Dong Zhuo? "

"Thank you Wen Xian for your understanding. Really, no one can control Dong Zhuo in Chang'an now. If you let him continue to be so unbridled, Your Majesty will be in real danger.

You all saw the scene in the court a few days ago. The old minister Zhang Wen was killed for no reason. Wasn't it just because he had a grudge with him in Liangzhou? Moreover, he threatened His Majesty on the spot. If His Majesty were not generous enough, Dong Zhuo might have the intention of regicide. "

"Humph, Dong Zhuo is a national thief. It's no surprise what he does. Even the capital of the country that has been built for two hundred years will be burned at will. He also dug up the tombs of emperors and ministers of the past dynasties. Some of us people have not been burned by him. If you scold them, you are actually a barbarian.

He also wanted to have a relationship with Empress Dowager Dong, which was so shameless. I, Mr. Dong, am His Majesty's most loyal relative. How can I be on the same level as Dong Zhuo and his like? If you want to kill Dong, I, Dong Cheng, will have no hesitation. "

Dong Cheng is the younger brother of Liu Hong's mother, the Empress Dowager Dong. Liu Xie lost his mother when he was young and was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong. He was also very close to Dong Cheng, and there was also a noble lady in the palace who was Dong Cheng's daughter.

Huang Wan spoke up at this time: "Dong Zhuo trusted Yueqi Colonel Wu Fu the most, but I know that Wu Fu has always been a loyal man, and privately criticized many of Dong Zhuo's actions. I believe he can be our key figure in killing Thief Dong."

Yang Biao asked: "Is this plan feasible?"

"He Yong, Zheng Tai and others on the staff of Taishi Mansion are famous people in the world. They should have been dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo for a long time. With their help, they should be close to the assassination of Dong Zhuo.

In this way, leave this matter to me, and you should not get involved. If this plan does not work, and you think of other methods, I will not believe it. Dong Zhuo can go against the will of the world. "

Wang Yun thought about it and said, "Okay, let's do this first and see Dong Zhuo's reaction."

five days later

Wu Fu, who was persuaded by Huang Wan, hid a sword in his clothes and went to see Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was very happy when he saw Wu Fu and did not doubt him. After the meeting, he even saw Wu Fu off in person. In the corridor, Dong Zhuo even put his arm around Wu Fu's shoulders and behaved very intimately.

Just when everything was going well, Wu Fu, who had looked respectful and honored just now, suddenly showed a ferocious look, pulled out a saber from his arms and stabbed Dong Zhuo.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo reacted quickly, taking a few steps back and calling to the surrounding guards to subdue Wu Fu.

Dong Zhuo looked at the scratches on his clothes and said to Wu Fu angrily: "I have treated you so well, do you want to rebel?"

Wu Fu sneered and said loudly: "You are not my king, and I am not your subject, so why should I do the opposite? You have committed great crimes by disrupting the country and usurping the throne. Today is the day of my death, so I have come to punish the traitor. I wish I could tear you apart." I would like to express my gratitude to the world." Dong Zhuo was so angry that he drew out the sword of the guard on the side and stabbed Wu Fu to the core with one strike.

Wu Fu died on the spot. It was only then that Li Ru, Lu Bu and other Dong Zhuo's closest men hurried over.

Dong Zhuo said angrily to Li Ru: "Check, let me investigate carefully. Wu Fu alone would never dare to act like this. There must be some accomplices."

In just one day, Li Ru and Lu Bu led thousands of soldiers and numerous officials to forcefully break into the residences of various ministers and ministers. Even Dong Zhuo's subordinate staff were not spared.

Because they came in such a hurry, many incriminating evidences were not processed.

Huang Wan, He Yong, Xun You and others were all imprisoned, while Zheng Tai, Hua Xin and others fled to Yuan Shu.

Half a month later, the news of this incident passed, and Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Dong Cheng gathered together in the secret room again.

"What a pity, it was just a hair away! What should we do next? Huang Wan has been imprisoned. We must hurry up, otherwise he may be in danger of his life."

Yang Biao felt sorry for the failure to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and was anxious about Huang Wan's arrest.

Wang Yun said quietly: "This is because Wu Fu is weak. Dong Zhuo was born in the border area, and he is a man who gains fame on the battlefield. I am afraid that the assassination must be done by a warrior with strong martial arts skills."

Dong Cheng asked doubtfully: "Who are you talking about?"

Wang Yun looked at the two of them and spit out a name that neither of them had thought of: "Lu Bu."

"Master, are you kidding? Lu Bu is not only Dong Zhuo's confidant, but also Dong Zhuo's adopted son. Isn't it too far-fetched to ask him to help us kill Dong Zhuo?"

Dong Cheng and Yang Biao couldn't believe Wang Yun's words about wooing Lu Bu.

"If we go to win over Lu Bu, we will definitely be kicked out by him, or even arrested by him to collect the reward from Dong Zhuo. But there is one person who won't."

"Who?"

"Doctor Guanglu is lucky."

"Bad luck?"

"Exactly, the Bai family has always been an evergreen tree in the court. Now the former Taifu Bai Ya died on the road because of the move of the capital. The Bai family hated Dong Zhuo very much, but because of his weak strength, he had to stay in hibernation.

Do you still remember when Dong Zhuo wiped out the two Yuans? "

"Of course, in order to ask the Kwantung Allied Forces to stop their advance, Dong Zhuo threatened Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu with Grand Master Yuan Wei, Situ Yuan Xu and their tribesmen.

However, they were rejected by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, which led to the execution of all the Yuan family members in Luoyang by Dong Zhuo. Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo is really not a human being, and is simply an unforgivable crime. "

"Do you know that Dong Zhuo wanted to include the Bai family in the plan to exterminate the family?"

"What, since this matter has happened, does Dong Zhuo really have no bottom line?"

It's really unbelievable. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the Bai family began to prosper, no one dared to say anything about destroying the Bai family, not even the emperor, at least openly.

This is because the Bai family is not only the king of vassals, but also controls the business affairs, public opinion, and culture of the Han Dynasty.

Just taking one out can make people afraid to act rashly. All these combined make people unable to have the desire to fight.

"What about the end?" Dong Cheng asked curiously.

Wang Yun's eyes flashed and he said: "They were stopped by Cai Yong and Lu Bu."

"Lü Bu? I understand why Cai Yong dissuaded me. His daughter Cai Wenzhao was a famous and talented woman in the Han Dynasty, no less than Ban Zhao in ancient times. She was Bai Yun's wife.

Cai Yong was also a master of the "Bai Zhuan" and had many close contacts with Bai Xue and Bai Yuan. But why is this Lu Bu? "Yang Biao heard something was wrong here.

Wang Yun smiled and said: "This is where we can take advantage."

"Do you know the deeper meaning, Master?"

Wang Yun shook his head and said: "I don't know, but someone must know."

"You mean bad luck?"

Seeing Wang Yun nodding decisively, Yang Biao and Dong Cheng looked at each other.

Wang Yun said softly: "In this way, leave the matter of Bai Lun to me personally, and you can prepare the rest. As long as Lu Bu can win over, everything will be simple."

"feasible!"
