Chapter 111 Chang'an Chaos Enters Luoyang

December 184 AD...

Oh, I'm very sorry, it should be the first day of the fourth year of Guanghe. Emperor Han issued a decree to change the reign name from Guanghe to Zhongping.

No wonder, since the first year of Guanghe, the Great Han Kingdom has never stopped.

For a while there were landslides and landslides, for a while there were droughts and floods, and finally subsided a little, and then there was a plague that lasted for half a year, causing countless people to die in the plague.The plague has passed, and Liangzhou is in turmoil again.

Poqiang County rebelled, and the prefect of Jincheng and the newly appointed Western Captain were killed.

Although the turmoil was finally resolved with the efforts of Han Sui, a famous scholar in Liangzhou, it was always uncomfortable in everyone's heart.

Emperor Han thought for a long time, and felt that the name of Guanghe was really against him.

So at the beginning of the new year, I couldn't wait to change the year name.Its intentions are good, and I hope it will be safe and sound in the future.

pity……

******
On the second day of January in the first year of Zhongping, it snowed heavily in Luoyang.

A convoy slowly drove into Luoyang City.There are more than 600 people in a mighty way, and there are countless car battles, so majestic.

However, the people from Luoyang, who were used to seeing big scenes, did not stop to watch.

What's so good about this?I think we have seen the emperor go on tour at the beginning, that scene, that ostentation is called a magnificent atmosphere.

The convoy has a big flag fluttering in the wind.

Pinching the gold thread and walking the silver thread, one side writes the governor of Hedong, and the other side is the captain of Sili, and there is a big word "Dong" written in the center.The Luoyang people understood that Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong, had entered the capital.Ha, it's nothing special, just a good family.

To be honest, this Luoyang is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

When you eat in the morning, you can’t help but sit across from you, the person who wears shabby clothes and eats a simple breakfast is a court official.Let’s not comment on the size, anyway, I have never eaten beef, and have I seen cattle grazing all over the mountain?No wonder.Besides, what's so great about being from a good family, the famous people in the city can't tell when they will support you.

Luoyang is known as the hinterland of Kyushu.

Dong Zhuo was riding on the horse, looking at the majestic city wall, he couldn't help being full of pride.

Thinking of his status as a son of a good family of six counties, he was a knight-errant in Liangzhou in his early years, and later he took refuge in Taiwei Zhongsong's family. He climbed up step by step from a low-ranking officer to today's prefect of a county with a salary of two thousand stones. The scenery is infinite.

But this is the first time for Luoyang.

For those who have never been to Luoyang, it is difficult to understand the magnificence of this capital.

Since Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Great Han Dynasty and moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, after ten generations of emperors, the size of the city was no smaller than Chang'an, and even faintly surpassed Chang'an.It is hailed as the first city of the Han Dynasty by the people of the Han Dynasty.

Now, I'm finally here!

He ordered Hua Xiong to enter Luoyang with great fanfare.

Dong Zhuo wanted to show off his prestige.Cai Yong, who was hiding in the chariot battle, could understand Dong Zhuo's thoughts.But he also understood that Zhong Ying might be disappointed this time.Luoyang people have never seen anything, but they have seen too many officials.

Don't say you are a little prefect... Hehe, there are so many people who are more powerful than you in Luoyang City.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's chariot had to stop just after entering Xiyang Gate.There was a chariot driving from the opposite side, and it happened to meet Dong Zhuo's chariot face to face.Those people were not many in number, but each of them shy chest and abdomen, very arrogant.

"People in front, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A man dressed in general rushed over and shouted at Dong Zhuo's chariot: "Blind your dog eyes, you dare to block the chariot of the Tai Tuo?"

Hua Xiong is a very high-minded person. Hearing this, he was furious. He rushed out and yelled, "This is the chariot battle of the governor of Hedong, Mr. Dong. If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here. Otherwise, don't blame a certain family for being cruel and merciless. Take my dog's life."

"Ha, what's so great about a mere prefect, do you have the guts to come over and try?"

The confrontation between the two parties finally aroused the interest of Luoyang people.Either standing by the side of the road, or sticking their heads out from the restaurant, commenting enthusiastically one by one.There were even those who feared that the world would not be chaotic, still yelling at the side: "Men, do it...don't just talk but don't practice. Hahaha, it's a man who will kill that kid. I have long disliked him."

"Yuan Zhong, what's going on in front, so noisy?"

A cold voice came from a carriage, carrying a hint of arrogance.

The family general who had scolded Hua Xiong earlier ran over immediately, with a very respectful attitude, "Master, there is a chariot of the governor of Hedong blocking the way."

"Let him get out of the way, I have important things to do, and I don't have time to entangle with these bastards."

Yuan Zhong agreed, and immediately ran back, sternly saying: "My lord tells you to go away, a bunch of scumbags, don't even look at where this is? Dare to make trouble in Luoyang City, be careful that your master's official position will not be guaranteed." ……Step aside."

Dong Zhuo heard it clearly right away, and burst into a fit of anger.

Just as he was about to gallop forward, he heard Cai Yong's voice from the car beside him, "My dear brother Zhongying, don't be impulsive. That's Taifu Yuan Kui... The old Yuan's family has been Situ since Zhang and He Erdi , up to now, there are Yuan Feng as Sikong and Yuan Kui as Grand Tutor. It can be said that they are four generations and three princes. His disciples and former officials are all over the place, that is the real power over the world, don't mess with him."

A basin of cold water poured down from the top of the head, even the intestines were cold.

Yuan Kai couldn't lower his voice when he spoke, so Dong Zhuo could hear him clearly.

The never-before-seen humiliation made his hands and feet cold, but he also understood that what Cai Yong said was right, he couldn't beat the other party.

"Wen Kai, make way!"

He almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

Hua Xiong's cheeks twitched, he snorted heavily, and raised his hand.

The convoy gave way, watching the old Yuan's car swaggering past.Dong Zhuo looked at the hideous and arrogant general, and suddenly had a wish: scholar-bureaucrats are like dogs, Zhuo will be in power one day, and he will get rid of you.

Che Zhan continued to move forward, but Dong Zhuo no longer had the pride he had earlier.

Put away the big banners, roll up the banners, and move forward silently.The Luoyang people on both sides kept mocking, and some even blew their whistles.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo had a fierce look in his eyes.

Cai Yong sat in the car and sighed softly.People from Luoyang, what good is it for you to add insult to injury like this?

Resting in the post house, Dong Zhuo did not ask Cai Yong to get off the car respectfully first as usual.

He broke into the room without looking back, and closed the door with a bang.Cai Yong wore a green shirt, covered with a thick brocade robe.

Seeing that Hua Xiong is also directing people to work with a sullen face.

In fact, not only Hua Xiong, but almost all the members of the team had gloomy faces.

"Wen Kai..."

"Ah, Mr. Cai!"

Facing Cai Yong, Hua Xiong still maintained a two-point politeness, he was about to salute, but Cai Yong grabbed his arm.

"Wen Kai, Luoyang is no different than Hedong. You have to be careful everywhere. Yong is now an aide of the prefect, so you don't have to pay a big gift. Just treat you and me as colleagues. Let go of your heart, the world is like this, no one can do it. You can only adapt to change. When I first met Ah Chou, the humiliation he suffered in Yingchuan was far worse than this."

Hua Xiong asked in surprise, "How will the young master treat you?"

"Hehe, Ah Chou was very angry, and he still couldn't hold back... He led the people to kill. If I hadn't stepped forward, he would have been in a lot of trouble. Wen Kai, Yingchuan is no match for Luoyang. You are arrogant and arrogant. Be cautious and open-minded."

Hua Xiong nodded with a gloomy face, "Mr. Xiong's teachings are in my heart."

But I was thinking in my heart: Mr. Yu really has courage... I only hate that I was not by his side at the time, otherwise I would have killed a few scholar-bureaucrats to have a good time.Aggrieved, aggrieved... Why are the scholar-bureaucrats superior to me when we fight on the battlefield?

"Wen Kai, is there any news about your young master?"

Hua Xiong was stunned, and said softly with a look of dejection: "From the time of departure until now, Wenzheng has used special methods to contact us every day. But since the young master burned [-] Taiping monsters to death in Guangling, it seems that there has been no news, and there has been no news. It's a pity that we don't have many eyes and ears in the land of Jingxiang...Xiong is also worried, will something happen to Young Master Yu?"

"Don't talk nonsense, your son is not a short-lived person. It doesn't matter if there is no news, it means that he has already hidden... It's just that his method is too violent. Although he attracted the attention of the Taiping monster, he also put himself in danger Jing... Wen Kai, this old man is just complaining to you, don't tell your lord, understand?"

"Don't worry sir, Xiong knows how to measure."

The two chatted for a while, Cai Yong went back to his room to rest, Hua Xiong continued to direct people to work.

In the evening, Dong Zhuo's mood also completely calmed down.

There was a smile on his black face, and he couldn't see any grievances.

But if you observe carefully, you can still see a trace of fierce light flickering from his eyes.Ten years is not too late for a man to take revenge!

First he apologized to Cai Yong, and then Dong Zhuo said: "Sir, I want to visit the General immediately. It's just that I need to be wronged for going, and pretend to be Zhuo's aide to sneak into the General's residence. Besides, Zhang Rang, the clerk of the Central Committee, is there I have sent someone to send a generous gift, but I didn't say anything about Taiping Dao. Let's go see the general first."

Cai Yong smiled, "Zhong Ying is polite, you and I are doing things for the imperial court, why should we be wronged? I have already made preparations, let's go. The sooner we see the general, the better for the imperial court. There is no delay."

Dong Zhuo responded and went out with Cai Yong.

Although he is not He Jin's confidant, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as He Jin's valued person.

So very soon, He Jin ordered Dong Zhuo and others to enter the mansion, and before entering the hall, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Brother Zhongying, you are finally here!"

A burly but elegant-looking man strode out of the hall.He is about eight feet tall, with the bone frame of a warrior, quite imposing.Seeing Dong Zhuo, he laughed and stepped forward, grabbed Dong Zhuo's hand and kept shaking it, looking very affectionate.

The distance between the two was very close, so Dong Zhuo heard He Jin say in a voice that only he could hear: "Zhong Ying, Jin already knows what you have been wronged. But Taifu Yuan did have important matters to deal with today, and he said something that should not be done. He later regretted what he said. He asked me to pass on his apology... Once everyone becomes an official, I think it’s okay to let this matter go.”

The words were understated, but in Dong Zhuo's view, they carried a faint threat.

Can't help but look at He Jin carefully.The first time I met He Jin was when he took office in Hedong.At that time, He Jin had the air of a martial artist. The two of them got drunk that night, and He Jin scolded the scholar-bureaucrat, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and blood.But in the blink of an eye, in just a few years, that warrior's demeanor has weakened, showing a more elegant temperament.

The general is still the general, but He Jin is no longer He Jin!
Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Come, come, I happen to have a few good friends here to introduce you."

Behind He Jin, there is a young man standing.

Eight feet tall, with handsome features and elegant temperament.

He Jin turned sideways, and the young man took a step forward with a wink and said: "I have met Master He Dong, Yuan Shao. My uncle has offended Lord He Dong because of an urgent matter during the day, and I feel deeply guilty. I am here to apologize, please Sir Hedong forgive me."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, feeling an indescribably strange feeling.

This young man is very arrogant, and from his eyes, it can be seen that he is very scheming.

Will Yuan Wei really make people apologize?In fact, you can think of it with your toes, which is simply impossible.

However, Yuan Shao's demeanor really made Dong Zhuo quite fond of him, and he bowed his hand immediately, "That's what my nephew is talking about. This matter is something Zhuo Shao doesn't care about, and has nothing to do with Tai Tuo. Tired Tai Tuo feels guilty, Zhuo really can't take it, don't do it again Bring it up again."

He Jin interrupted and said: "Zhong Ying, originally a young talent in the world, and his younger brother Yuan Shu are known as the two heroes of the Yuan family. They are quite talented. You two should make friends in the future... Well, there is I originally planned to send someone to discuss this matter with you, but later I heard that you would come, so I didn’t inform you. Today, I just happened to talk to you.”

Dong Zhuo was a little confused, looked at He Jin and said, "Why should you be polite, general, just give orders if you have something to do."

He Jin seemed to be a little bit embarrassed, looked at Yuan Shao, then at Dong Zhuo, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, he was famous at the beginning, but now he has reached his age. I want him to take over your position as Captain of Sili. Things in Hedong are complicated, and it is really hard for you to hold two positions, so... I have already reported this matter to the emperor, and I will issue a decree to announce it in a few days."

A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head, and Dong Zhuo felt cold hands and feet.

Killing intent, a strong killing intent flowed in his heart.Now he wished he could draw his sword out of its sheath and hack He Jin to death.

What a good friend!

Before he could sit down, he took his post as Captain of Sili.

Dong Zhuo felt inexplicably sad.He worked hard in Sili, and finally achieved success, but he wanted to be cheap for nothing, so Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.Suigao, Suigao, what happened to you?Have you forgotten what you said to me back then, and how those scholar-bureaucrats treated you when you first came to Beijing?Or are you one of them now?

He Jin also seemed to be very guilty, not daring to face Dong Zhuo squarely.

Yuan Shao noticed that the atmosphere was very delicate, and he smiled and said: "General, Lord Hedong is here to visit, how can we let them stand in the yard?"

"Yes, let's go in and talk, go in and talk."

Dong Zhuo forced a laugh, but didn't speak.Walked into the hall side by side with He Jin.

The two held hands, looking very affectionate, but Cai Yong, who was following behind Dong Zhuo, let out a long and helpless sigh.

General Liang's family background, after all, can't resist the attraction of scholar-bureaucrats!

He also knew He Jin, and He Jin naturally knew Cai Yong.Cai Yong has lived in Luoyang for many years, so it can be said that everyone on the road knows him.

Therefore, when he went out this time, he always covered his face with a face scarf, only showing his eyes.

Yuan Shao looked at Cai Yong suspiciously, feeling that this person seemed familiar.At any rate, he was born in the Yuan family. Yuan Shao called out friends when he was young, he was a flying eagle and running dog, and he was a hero.He had heard lectures under Cai Yong's sect, so Cai Yong knew a little about this person.To be honest, Cai Yong didn't like Yuan Shao at all.

This person is unconventional and has a high self-proclaimed name.But actually...

Following Dong Zhuo into the hall, Cai Yong couldn't help laughing bitterly to himself.

There are seven or eight people sitting in this hall, all of them are known to Cai Yong, all of them are well-known in Luoyang, and one of them was seen not long ago.

He Jin introduced to everyone, "This is Jin's good friend, Dong Zhongying, Governor of Hedong."

During the speech, Dong Zhuo's position as captain of Sili had been erased.Seeing one of them, his expression turned cold and he snorted.

No one stood up, which made Dong Zhuo very embarrassed.

He Jin smiled and said: "Zhongying, come here, let me introduce you some good friends. Mr. Xun Shuangxun and Prince Wang Yun's teachers have just stepped down from Henan Yin. This time they return to Beijing to report on their duties, and they will definitely be used by the emperor in the future. ;This one is a big shot, hehe, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng...Jing Sheng is a relative of the emperor, well-educated, and a contemporary "eighth" scholar, very remarkable."

The so-called Baji is a way of saying Qingliu.

And it means being able to set an example for others and being an object that people can emulate.Ba and above, there are Sanjun, Bajun, and Bagu.There are eight chefs under it.Here, it is necessary to explain the meaning of these titles.Jun, on behalf of the master.The three contemporary monarchs refer to Zheng Xuan, a doctor of the Six Classics, Sima Hui, a Mr. Shui Jing, and Cai Yong, who is following Dong Zhuo at this time.

'Jun' refers to elites; 'Gu' stands for noble character;

Dong Zhuo was really taken aback, he didn't expect that there are so many people in He Jin's house.

If it was said that Yuan Shao was not in his eyes just now, then now he has to correct his attitude and be careful.

"...This is He Yong..."

Before he finished speaking, He Yong suddenly snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore Dong Zhuo.

Although the others are very lonely, they still have to live with face.But He Yong's behavior is clearly a contempt for Dong Zhuo.

It's no wonder that Dong Biao went on a killing spree in Yingchuan, and He Yong was one of the parties involved.

Although they are both celebrities, the gap between He Yong and Xun Shuang can be seen.Xun Shuang is one of the "Eight Gus", with good moral character and magnanimity.He was really angry about Yingchuan's matter at the time, but after he calmed down and thought about it later, he couldn't completely blame Dong Pi.After all, the matter was provoked by his servants.Besides, Dong Bi is a child. Could it be that a man of his age cares about a child?What's more, Cai Yong also came forward.

Therefore, when Xun Shuang saw Dong Zhuo, he returned a gift.

He Jin was also very angry, and secretly blamed He Yong for not knowing etiquette and falsely calling himself a celebrity.

He was about to continue the introduction when suddenly someone stood up.If you look carefully, it's the emperor's relative, Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng, who is known as the eighth.

With doubts on his face, Liu walked up to Cai Yong.

"But teacher face to face?"

Everyone was startled, Liu Biao had very sharp eyesight and had the ability of photographic memory.

Because of his family background, Liu Biao had a wide range of contacts since he was a child, and he had many people as teachers, among whom there were not many famous people in the world.

Both Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong were Liu Biao's teachers.

In fact, only Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong were recognized by everyone as qualified to be Liu Biao's teacher.

With Liu Biao's words, He Jin didn't know what to do.

Cai Yong gave a wry smile, and said in his heart: I still haven't deceived Liu Jingsheng's divine eyes.

Taking off his veil, Cai Yong cupped his hands and bowed to the people in the hall, "Everyone is close and close, long time no see, how have you been?"

"Ah, it's really Mr. Bo Jie!"

Xun Shuang stared wide-eyed and was the first to stand up, "A few days ago, I heard that Mr. sold his property and disappeared. Shuang was worried for a long time... I didn't expect Mr. to come today. Hahaha, Shuang is very happy , very happy!"

He Jin is stupid!

Although he is a foreign relative, he is a great general in the dynasty.

But the person most trusted by Emperor Han was neither He Jin nor Zhang Rang, but this Master Cai.

It's just that everyone in Cai is sometimes too ignorant of current affairs, and often directly admonishes Han Emperor Liu Hong, which makes Han Emperor hate and love this teacher.Therefore, when Zhang Rang tossed Cai Yong, Liu Hong ignored him.But if Cai Yong's life was endangered, Liu Hong would immediately call Zhang Rang over and scold him head and face.Otherwise, how could Cai Yong survive if he offended Shi Changshi?

Liu Biao was overjoyed and knelt down on the ground, "Teacher, I really miss my students!"

Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Dong Zhuo, they all got up quickly and surrounded Cai Yong.

Wang Yun suddenly asked: "Mr. Bojie, why did you leave Yucheng in such a hurry, and came to Luoyang with Dong Dongdong?"
