Chapter 525 The Finale
With the sudden death of Han Emperor Liu Bian, his posthumous title was Xing, and he was known as Emperor Han Xing in history.

Although Liu Bian did not take charge of any government affairs when he was in power, it is undeniable that the Han Dynasty was in his hands, from fragmentation to unity, which is a kind of revival.The use of the posthumous title 'Xing' is somewhat ironic, but it is considered appropriate.

In the sixth year of Taiping, Dong Bi pacified Kanto, and the class teacher returned to the court.

Although the Jiangdong war is not yet over, everyone can see clearly that Sun Ce will not last long, and failure will only happen sooner or later.

At the end of the same year, the prince Liu Tong, who was only one year old, ascended the throne with the support of Dong Bi, and changed his reign name to Daguan.

Dong Bi used this method to tell those people with ulterior motives that he would not usurp the throne.

But at the same time, because the young emperor was too young to be in power, Dong Bi stayed in Chang'an at the request of the senior ministers in the court.

The agreement between him and Emperor Liu Bian of the Han Dynasty in the past was also lost in the long river of history with the bizarre "death" of the Han Emperor.At the same time, as an old courtier of the three dynasties, Dong Bi had assisted Emperor Ling, Emperor Xing, and Emperor Shao successively, and his outstanding achievements made his status unshakable.

In the first year of Daguan, Dong Bi was appointed as the regent, and he was in charge of all the affairs of the court. It can be said that no one can match the limelight.

Many people were disappointed by Dong's decision.But in March of the first year of Daguan, Dong Bi made another strange decision.

Dong Ji, who had been imprisoned for a whole year, was released.

Many people feel that after Dong Ji's incident, his status as the eldest son will be cancelled.However, after Dong Ji released Dong Ji, he officially announced that Dong Ji was the son of Prince Liang's mansion, and built the son's mansion in Jinchangfang, allowing Dong Ji to open the mansion alone and recruit staff.

This is definitely an incomprehensible move.

But there are still smart people who figured out a little flavor from Dong Bi's decision.

Especially when the civil and military officials who were imprisoned with Dong Ji in the prison in the past, after Dong Ji opened the mansion, they all joined in, but Dong Bi didn't say anything, the situation seemed to become clear, and some people began to move their minds , came to recommend himself.

But other than that, Dong Bi didn't say anything.

There are rumors in the market that although Dong Ji was appointed as Prince Liang's son, in fact, Dong Bi has not shown a good face since he was released.

In mid-August of the first year of Daguan, Lu Xun burned firewood and mulberry trees and seized Lujiang River.

In the same month, Pang Tong arranged in Wushang to shoot Cheng Pu, capture Yu Fan, and completely occupied Kuaiji.Zhang Ren took the opportunity to divide his troops and attacked Danyang.

In October, Shamoke Huang Zhong attacked from Jiujiang and beheaded Zhang Hong, the prefect of Danyang.

There is good news, but there is also bad news... Chen Gong and Xu Shu plan to attack Qu'e, but Zhuge Liang sees it through, ambushes and shoots Chen Gong.

This was also Yu Dong's biggest blow in the first year of Daguan.

In December of the first year of Daguan, Dong Bi announced the reform of the government.The Jiuqing system was abolished, and six ministries were set up, with ministers and ministers; a cabinet was formed, and the first assistant and second assistant officials were set up.In fact, this cabinet system has already been established long ago, but it was called the Chengming Palace back then, but now the banner of the Chengming Palace is displayed openly.As for the pros and cons of this system, it can only be tested slowly in future practice.

But at least for now, no one dares to come forward to object.

In the first month of the second year of Daguan, the war in Runan subsided...

Under the attack of Chen Daopang, Zhang Yan retreated to Rangshan and died of illness in the same month.

Hu Zhao was appointed governor of Jingzhou, and Pang De was appointed as the general manager of the Jingzhou march, separating the military administration and forming an independent system.

Lou Gui was granted the title of Inspector of Yuzhou, and Chen Dao was appointed as the Chief of the Yuzhou March.

Liang Xi was the governor of Yanzhou, and Zhang Yun was the general manager of Yanzhou's march...

At this point, the Kanto was settled down, and with the slow implementation of Dong's law, it gradually recovered its vitality and regained the prosperity and prosperity of the year.

In the second year of Daguan, Zhuge Liang married Sun Ce's younger sister Sun Ren.

Sun Ren, whose nickname is Shangxiang, is brave and courageous, and being with Zhuge Liang, to a large extent, made up for Zhuge Liang's shortcomings.

But in October of the same year, Sun Ce counterattacked Shangyu and was ambushed by Pang Tong.On the way back to Wu County, he encountered Gan Ben again.

The two armies fought hard, and Sun Ce was killed by Gan Ben in front of the battle.But Gan Ben himself was also seriously injured by Sun Ce's desperate blow.In December of the same year, he died on the couch.Pang Tong was ordered in the face of danger to take over the Invincible Army, and continued to launch another round of fierce attacks on Wu County.

In the third year of Daguan, Danyang fell.

Zhuge Liang at this time has already shown the wisdom and ability of the monster in the novel.

After Sun Ce's death, he took over Jiangdong with the support of Sun Ren.Only relying on the land of Wujun, he dealt with Lu Xun, Pangtong Xu Shu.

When Dong Bi received the battle report, he couldn't help sighing and said: "How can there be any genius in this world? Anyone needs to go through a lot of tempering before they can show their abilities. If Zhuge Kongming could have today's three years ago At this level, the outcome is probably unknown.”

No rush!

Dong Bi finally saw Zhuge Liang's amazing ability and means.

However, the general situation is gone, and he has no power to turn back... The only advantage is that Zhuge Liang can use his unconstrained methods to his heart's content.

At least for a whole year, facing Pang Tong, Lu Xun and Xu Shu, they did not show any weakness.

However, due to the lack of resources in Wu County, the resources that Zhuge Liang can use are getting scarcer.At the end of four years in Daguan, he finally suffered a defeat.

For Dong Bi, the four years of Daguan was undoubtedly an extremely exciting year.

Pang Tong, Lu Xun, Xu Shu, and the three of them have endless intrigues and tricks; Zhuge Kongming fights alone, and he is also skillful in bursts, not to mention the three of them.

However, Dong Bi couldn't stand it anymore!

This extra day of fighting will cost countless money and food.Even if his family has a big business, it can't be spent like this.

So Dong Bi wrote a letter and sent it to Zhuge Liang through Zhuge Jin.In March of the fifth year of Daguan, Zhuge Liang saw that the situation was over, so he took his family's free fist to attack Haiyan, captured more than [-] giant five-tooth warships stationed in Haiyan from the Liaodong Navy, entered the sea from Hangzhou Bay, and fled to other places.

About 20 years later, a brand new country was established on what was considered a barbaric place at the time, and was later called Malaysia and Indonesia.The name of the country is "Wu", and it is called the Great Wu Heavenly Kingdom in history books, and it has dominated Nanyang ever since.

However, this is already a story!

In October of the fifth year of Daguan, Lu Xun was ordered to return to Chang'an, named Shuhou, and married Cai Jie, who had been marquis for seven years and was nearly 25 years old.

In the first month of the sixth year of Daguan, Pang Tong's class teacher returned to the court...

******
For Dong Ji, the past few years have undoubtedly been like a dream.

He worked hard, but was completely denied by his father.However, during the year in the dungeon, Dong Ji seemed to understand many, many truths.

Everyone has their own principles!

Just like his father, his principles are actually very simple.Not for glory and wealth, nor for ruling the world.Dong Bi's principle is to protect the family and pay attention to every promise he has made.As for some things, it is really urgent.

For example, when Liu Bian disappeared, if Dong Bi really ascended to the throne, he would have to face the conquest of the world next.

Prior to this, Dong Bi occupied Dayi.

If he usurps the throne, then righteousness will be lost, and what will happen in Kanto?
It is certain that Zhao Jian, the governor of Jizhou and others at that time, would never allow such a thing to happen.But when the world is at peace and power is in hand, the situation will be different.At least for now, that's true.

Zhao Jian has passed away for a year.

Under Zhao Jian's governance, Jizhou has completely settled down.Mizhu, the new governor of Jizhou, unknowingly took over Jizhou.

After five years of hard work, Zhao Jian finally fell under the control of Dong Bi.

Sometimes when I think about it, ginger is still old and spicy.My father has repeatedly said that everything should be done step by step... I used to feel that my father seemed to have lost the heroism and ambition that he used to gallop on the battlefield and rule the world.But now it seems that everything is under his control.

The more so, the more cautious Dong Ji became.

After taking over as Prince Liang's son, Dong Yu transferred Dong Ji to the Chengming Palace as the chief assistant counsellor.Be busy all day long.

On this day, Dong Ji got a new appointment, concurrently serving as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and presided over the big exam this autumn.

Dong Ji couldn't help being startled.

This spring and autumn test has been carried out for seven years now.

However, Dong Bi strictly limited the hosts.Unexpectedly, such an important task suddenly came to Dong Ji.

Dong Ji panicked and immediately rushed to the Ministry of Rites to report to Shi Tao.

Shi Tao naturally needed some encouragement, and explained the details of the upcoming autumn exam to Dong Ji in detail.After leaving the Ministry of Rites, it was already very late.

Dong Ji unexpectedly discovered that there was a person standing outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

"Uncle Yuanrong, why are you here?"

Dong Tie smiled slightly, bowed and said, "My lord, my lord ordered me to wait here for my lord, and asked you to return to the palace immediately to discuss something important."

"what!"

Can't help but be very surprised.

Since Dong Bi ordered him to open the mansion, everything was announced directly through the Chengming Palace.

Unless there are special circumstances, basically do not talk to him.For this matter, mother Dong Lu did not know how many tears shed underneath.

Why did you call suddenly today?

Dong Ji thought about it carefully, and felt that in the past few years, he had been very honest and hadn't done anything out of the ordinary...

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly!" Dong Tie said, "My lord has been waiting for a long time, if I don't go back, I'm afraid I will be angry."

Dong Ji got on his horse and walked side by side with Dong Tie.

In name, Dong Tie has resigned from all official positions and is a servant of Prince Liang's mansion.But in fact, everyone knows that Dong Bi's trust in Dong Tie is comparable to only a few people in the world.In addition to Dianwei Shamoko, there is Suihou Pangtong.

In front of Dong Tie, Dong Ji really didn't dare to show off.

"Uncle Tie, my father is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Dong Tie said: "I don't know about this. This morning, the prince received a letter from the Western Regions... and then he was locked in the study all day, talking with several wives. It was probably at the time of You that the prince Come out, let me come to you immediately. In addition, Qihou, Qianhou, Shuhou and Suihou have all been notified...but they are not very busy, and they should have arrived by now."

"what!"

Dong Ji dare not delay any longer!
Qihou Dianwei, Sihou Shamoke, Shuhou Luxun, Suihou Pangtong...

Except for Lu Xun, who can be regarded as his own family, the others can be said to be the closest and most trusted people of Dong Bi.Sudden convening, there must be a big event.

Dong Ji followed Dong Tie to the home in a hurry, and was taken to the study before he could visit his mother.

There was no change in Prince Liang's Mansion. The study room was filled with new-style golden nanmu furniture, and stacks of books and maps were placed on it.

Dong Pi was sitting behind the desk, and Dianwei Shamoke and others had already arrived.

"My lord, the prince is here!"

"Let him in."

Dong Bi's expression was very calm.Over the past few years, he looked fatter than before, with a lion nose and wide mouth, if he hadn't refused to grow a beard, he would have been a replica of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Ji walked in with trepidation.

I don't know why, the coercion my father has exerted on people in the past two years is getting bigger and bigger.

"Xiao Tie, you are guarding outside, no one is allowed in without my permission."

"Here!"

Dong Ji's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that something really big had happened.

Dong Bi signaled Dong Ji to sit down, picked up a file, opened it and glanced twice, then raised his head and looked at Dong Ji.

"Bowe!"

"The child is here!"

"You have done a good job in the past two years. Compared with before, you have changed a lot. Hehe, just look at your Shizifu, there are so many talents."

Dong Ji Jiling felt a chill.

"Captain Zhechong, Gao Shun, became your Yamen general; the banned general, Zilong, also became your captain...well, Wei Yan became your soldier Cao Cao, and Xun You became the governor of the son's house; oh, and This Liangmao Lu Yu can only do your work. Cao Pi and Xun Shi, two top three in the first imperial examination, and dignified bachelors of Taiyuan Academy, are just your secretary... Bowei, you are doing really well.

Well, plus Zhou Buyi, the dog-headed military strategist you used to be, Wang Mai the accomplice, and Guo Huai the thug... Hehe, I'm jealous. "

Dong Ji's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"Well, what surprised me the most is that this Shi A actually became the general of your family. His swordsmanship is good, so don't let Xiao Tie too much."

Dong Bi closed the file and looked at Dong Ji with a smile, "Bowei, you did a great job!"

"Baby, baby..."

Dong Ji was a little out of breath. He looked up at the people around him, only to find that everyone was smiling slightly.

Seeming to have come to his senses, Dong Ji said softly, "I know that all of this is arranged by my father. If it wasn't for my father, how could I have the ability to attract so many virtuous people?"

Dong Chuan sighed.

"You are already full-fledged, and there are some things that I know very well.

Actually, back then I wanted to come back and kill you.If it weren't for Meng De's words before he died, I'm afraid I wouldn't change my mind.

Meng De said, when it’s time to stop, it’s time to stop. There are some things I can’t control.

Thinking about it carefully, what he said made sense.Since there are some things I can't change, I just follow the trend and let it develop.

In the past two years, I am very satisfied with what you have done in Chengming Palace. "

Dong Ji remained silent, not daring to open his mouth to answer what Dong Bi said.

Dong Bi took out a letter, "Your grandfather is gone!"

"what?"

There was a touch of sadness in Dong Bi's tone, "I am most grateful to two people in my life. One is your great-grandmother. If it wasn't for her, I might have been drowned when I was born. She gave me life; the other is your grandfather. , if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve today's situation. Not to mention, he even gave me your aunt, and since then, I have been slowly accepted by scholars."

Dianwei Shamoke showed a sad look.

"Your grandfather left behind a son, and now he is also a small king in Persia. The situation in Persia is not very stable, especially after your grandfather left, many people are staring at your little uncle. No, your grandmother wrote, please I will send troops to help little uncle."

In fact, although Dong Bi didn't explain clearly, everyone present here knew who that grandmother was.

"I have already agreed!"

Dong Bi smiled slightly, "A month later, I will lead the army to go west. Your mother, auntie Sanniang and Siniang, and your younger brothers and sisters will all go out with me. In addition, your uncle, third uncle, There is also Shiyuan, who will travel west with my family. Do you... understand what I mean?"

Dong Ji opened his mouth wide, "What about me?"

Lu Xun said: "Father-in-law feels that the emperor is still young, and he will have to leave his family. So I hope you will stay...to supervise the country."

"what?"

Dong Yu said: "If you talk about supervising the country, you are younger. But if you talk about ability and experience, it is not too bad. Lou Gui is also old. He told me a few days ago that he wanted to become an official. Brother, although he made a mistake before, he has been sent to Shuofang all these years, endured the suffering of Shuofeng, and managed the three counties in northern Saibei well, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. Tomorrow, he will be transferred back to Chengming Palace.

There are many good people around you.

With your brother-in-law supporting me, and Uncle Zhi Lingming and the others being very satisfied with you, I can finally trust you with state affairs.

As for whether you can be good or bad, it depends on your own ability.

You kid, smart, capable, and resourceful.It's just that sometimes, the air volume is a little smaller.However, in the past two years, it can be regarded as progress.

Everyone here is from my own family, I only have three words for you.

Think twice before acting in everything, and be tolerant of people; water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. History should be used as a mirror, and people should be used as a mirror.Don't do good because it is small, and don't do evil because it is small.I have a letter from the military adviser here, please read it carefully. "

After Dong Bi finished speaking, he picked up a letter from the case and handed it to Dong Ji.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Today I held a banquet at the house and invited many people... Bowei, you go outside to meet him."

"Here!"

Dong Ji picked up the letter and got up with Pang Tong and Lu Xun to say goodbye.

Dian Wei and Sha Moke stayed behind.

"Second brother, are you really not going to come back?"

Dong Bi smiled calmly, "I won't come back... Hehe, the world is bigger than you and I know. The Central Plains is peaceful, the brute strength of you and me, is it possible that it will be wasted on the belly of a woman? It's like rustling, since Nasha After leaving Cai Wan, she became thinner and thinner!"

Sha Moke's face turned red!

"It doesn't matter to me whether I come back or not. If Bowe can do well, what's the problem if I don't come back? If he doesn't have the ability, it's useless if I come back. There are some things, we can only do this. The rest Yes, just look at his own efforts.

Now that he has chosen..."

After Dong Bi finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the house, "Let's go, the guests have already arrived, don't make everyone wait anxiously!"

******
One month later, banners were flying outside Chang'an City.

Dong Bi decided to march west despite the obstruction of civil and military officials.However, he left Dong Ji to supervise the country, but not many people stood up to oppose it.

At least the three assistant ministers of Chengming Palace remained silent.

First assistant Gu Yong, second assistant Chen Dao, third assistant Shi Tao...

Dong Ji led his wife, Lu Xin, and the officials of the shogunate to send Dong Pi to the Wei Bridge.

At this time, it was Yang Liuqingqing.

Although he already knew it, and in the past month or so, he had been pulling Dong Ji to talk every day, but Dong Lu still couldn't help but shed tears.

Dong Ji wanted to stop his mother from accompanying him.

But Dong Lu said: "Your aunt was born in a family, San Niang wields knives and guns all day long, and Si Niang is a nerd. I don't know what will happen when I go to the West. Your father and king have been used to it for two years. If there is no one Taking care of her by her side, I'm afraid she will not be very happy.

I have followed your father since I was a child, and know his preferences best.

Follow him, it's good to have someone to take care of you... Bowei, be obedient, think about everything, and don't do anything that makes your father angry. "

Dong Ji agreed one by one.

Over there, Dong Bi comforted Cai Jie in a low voice, and walked over slowly.

"Okay, it's getting late, isn't it just sending troops to fight? What's the point of crying?"

He waved his hand to let everyone get on the carriage, then widened his eyes, and looked Dong Ji up and down, but in those eyes, there was no austerity that Dong Ji was afraid of in the past.

He suddenly took a step forward and hugged Dong Ji tightly.

"Six catties, take care, don't let me worry about you!"

How long has it been since Dong Bi called her baby name like this?Dong Ji couldn't hold back the tears at last, and they flowed out in a flash.

"Remember what I said, stay on the front line in everything. Dad is not very knowledgeable, but he also knows that too much is too much."

"My child remembers!"

Dong Bi grinned, and hugged Dong Ji fiercely, "Take care of your sister!"

After finishing speaking, Dong Bi got on his horse and waved his big hand in the air, "Let's go!"

The lion's mane animal industry has passed its peak, but the old man is still very energetic.Looking up to the sky, Xi Yuyu hissed violently, and walked forward.

Dong Ji couldn't help catching up and shouted loudly, "Daddy!"

Dong Bi trembled on the horse's back, but he didn't look back, he just waved his hand behind him, and galloped away...

In the seventh year of Daguan, Dong Pi led an expedition to Persia, and never set foot in the Central Plains again.

In the third year after Dong Bi left, Dong Ji, under the impetus of courtiers, forced the young emperor Liu Tong to take the throne, ascended the throne as emperor, and named the country "Liang".

In "Liang Shi", Dong Ji is called Emperor Taizong of Liang, while Dong Bi is revered as Taizu.

Since then, a new chapter has opened!
******
Dong Bi left Chang'an by himself, and took away the young and old of the Cao family with him.

With Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhang as the vanguard, Dong Shuo as the left guard, Dong You as the right guard, Dong Pi himself as the commander of the central army, and Dianwei Shamoke accompanied the army.

Unexpectedly, He Qi, the prefect of Sanhan, became the commander-in-chief of the rear army.

In He Qi's words: "After more than ten years of fighting, blood flowed in rivers in Sanhan, but I have gained a lot of fat. I don't want to participate in the civil war, but how can I congratulate King Yan when I go to the west? My three sons are all willing to follow the prince and make contributions in foreign lands."

Regarding He Qi's words, Dong Bi was extremely happy.

An army of [-] marched mightily towards the Western Regions.

About fifty days after leaving Chang'an, the army passed through Wuwei and arrived in Wulan County.At this time, it has already entered Zhangye.

That night, Dong Bi ordered people to rest in Wulan.

At the same time, send a fast horse to report to Han'an City and notify Xu Huang.

Time flies so fast, it's been twenty years since I entered the Western Regions in a blink of an eye.The three of them, Dong Yudian, Weishamoke, were drinking in the military tent, talking about those things back then, they couldn't help laughing.At first, only the three of them were talking, but later, Cai Yan and others also joined in.

When the revelry was in full swing, Dong Tie came in suddenly and reported: "My lord, is there an old friend outside the camp asking to see you?"

"Old man?"

Dong Bi said in surprise: "What an old friend? Who is it? You know my old friend very well. Which one is it?"

Dong Tie said with a smile: "This old man has a lot of background, he didn't let me report his name, and said that if I said it, he would never let me go. Moreover, the king must go out to meet him in person."

"Bastard!"

When Samoke heard this, he was furious, "That bastard kid doesn't want to live anymore, and actually started teasing the man? Brother, wait a moment, wait until I tie him in."

"Wait!"

In Dong's heart, there was a sudden movement.

The people Dong Tie knew, and with such a loud tone, among the people he knew, it seemed that there was only one person who could say that.

Is it...

Dong Yu stood up in a hurry, ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, rushed out of the military tent with bare feet, and came to the front of the gate.

Under the firelight, an old man with a thin appearance and a thin body stood there with a cane in his hand.Dressed in a green shirt, he is inexhaustibly handsome.

There are three long beards under the jaw, fluttering in the wind.

Behind him, there were two men in their thirties standing with their hands down.

When Dong Bi saw the old man, he felt a burst of anger in his chest, but when the words came to his lips, he seemed unable to speak.

The old man smiled and said, "Why didn't you talk when you saw the teacher? Hehe, I heard that your majesty is going to march west. I don't know if my old bone can still be used?"

Dong Bi laughed too!
He took a step forward and bowed to the ground, "If you have Mr. with you, 忷...you don't have to worry about anything!"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.

That laughter echoed endlessly in the night...
