Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 30 Two Conspiracies
"I just want to go out to play in the palace, not to conquer the world. What are you telling me about these generals who can only march and fight?" Liu Xie waved his hands and said to Dong Zhuo with a confused face, and finally he didn't forget to say: "Let's talk , Which of these people can dance swords? I want Wang Yue, but I still want to learn swordsmanship from him."

Dong Zhuo with a calm expression raised his head, as if he didn't want to entangle with Liu Xie any more, and replied: "Forget it, since your majesty only wants that person, I should accept his order. Since your majesty has woken up, I will leave now. "

Liu Xie pretended that his head started to hurt again, lying on the dragon couch and waved his hands listlessly.Leng Shouguang hurriedly yelled out the door: "The grand master has returned to the mansion." Liu Xie glanced at Leng Shouguang strangely, and found that he was not paying attention at all. Knowing that he had committed an old problem again, he couldn't help laughing, joking He said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I won't let you interfere in the government, but I won't let you get sick if you don't say anything."

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Leng Shouguang really couldn't hold back, walked to Liu Xie's side and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo wants your general to replace that swordsman. This is a golden opportunity for His Majesty to gather military power. Why is Your Majesty?" Want that swordsman instead of a powerful army? Master Yang once said that Xu Rong is loyal, brave and resourceful, and he is not of the same line as Dong Zhuo's soldiers from Liangzhou. If Your Majesty..."

Hearing that Leng Shouguang began to talk at length again, Liu Xie couldn't help sighing, and interrupted him: "Do you think Dong Zhuo really just wanted to get rid of Wang Yue and made such a condition to me? He fought against Liang in his early years. Zhou, with so many sword wounds on his body, how could he give me the military power that he regards as his lifeblood because of his own personal grievances?"

Leng Shouguang was startled suddenly, he didn't seem to have thought about this, and he couldn't help but murmured: "He sent these people here to monitor His Majesty, that's why we chose Xu Rong, Yang Feng and other generals from non-Liangzhou factions to secretly win over... ..."

"You are so stupid and naive. I was exactly what you thought before, and I almost wanted to say yes." Liu Xie closed his eyes, recalling the stern light he saw from Dong Zhuo's lowered eyes just now, I still have lingering fears: "What Dong Zhuo did just now was just to test me. After all, these two days, I have had too much trouble with him, and he no longer treats me like a child."

Leng Shouguang opened his mouth so suddenly that he didn't say a word for a while, and finally he had the courage to take a closer look at Liu Xie's quiet and handsome face, which was completely incompatible with a child, and then he knelt down and said sincerely: "Your Majesty! Young and mature, with the ability to predict things like a god, the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty can be expected."

Liu Xie accepted Leng Shouguang's flattery calmly, no matter what, he is now weaker than others, and he is restrained everywhere. If he has a little self-deception spirit, he will probably have to hang himself with a rope.

But no matter how much he comforted himself, Liu Xie also knew rationally that in Chang'an, who was in this dangerous maelstrom, he didn't even have the ability to resist at all.Using a whip mark and bumping the pillars in exchange for many Wang Yue around him can at most guarantee that he will not be killed by the rebellious soldiers, but the reckless courage stops here.Liu Xie couldn't help touching his forehead that was starting to swell again, and suddenly felt that he had lost money in the business he got through all this trouble...

Leng Shouguang saw that Liu Xie was disheartened and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.After thinking for a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate yourself. The villain has just arrived, but he has also noticed that Dong Zhuo's attitude towards His Majesty has changed a lot these days. In the past, Dong Zhuo would take his subordinates to invade the palace, drink and have fun, spend the night in the palace, and commit adultery. The former emperor picked up daughters, bullied Gong'e, and plundered all the treasures in the palace and the West Garden, and distributed them to his subordinates. But in the past two days, he saw His Majesty voluntarily kneeling in front of him, and never let his subordinates come... By the way, he is not It is said that the servants should be accompanied by the servants. Although the ministers of the foreign court have no soldiers, they are the pillars of the country and loyal to the Han Dynasty. How afraid."

'How afraid are you? Liu Xie curled his lips. The consequences of doing so would only make those loyal ministers who managed to escape from Luoyang die more.This Leng Shouguang was not the material of the mastermind at all, but he just liked to make suggestions, which really made Liu Xie dumbfounded.

However, after thinking about it, what Liu Xie wants now is not a loyal minister, but a truly capable minister.Especially the guy who can put clever strategies into action... Well, that Xun You is very good, although he doesn't pay much attention to him, but he is good at it, so why play arrogant?Yes, when the sun rises from the palace, let this kid accompany you to read...

By the way, there is also that Zhong Yao who is also very interesting, watching him kill but looking thoughtful, is he also harboring some bad ideas in his stomach?Do you want to find a way to promote this guy to be a servant?It seems that you don’t need to worry about it yourself. During this time in history, he was transferred to the Shangshutai...

Think about it, Chang'an is the Xijing of the great Han Dynasty, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and those talented people who have shrunk their wings in the face of chaos.Well, by the way, these days there are even some humble scholars with real materials who are working as small officials in a small county temple (yamen), and I can't let them go...

Well, it is said that the famous scholar Lu Zhi has not left Chang'an, Huangfusong can't let it go, and the old man Zhu Junzhu who organized volunteer soldiers in Zhongmou County...

Thinking about it, Liu Xie suddenly found that after he opened the door to leave the palace, there were still many major things that he could do to make a comeback.However, just thinking about it like this, he felt that his head began to sink in a daze, and accidentally tilted his head, and he fell asleep again.

After this sleep, half a month has passed.Of course, it wasn't that Liu Xie had slept for so long, but that he had been too quiet in the past half month.

There was no news of him in the Forbidden City, and there was no sign of him in the foreign court. Everyone knew that Liu Xie was recuperating due to illness, but when all the ministers saw the circles of gauze tightly wrapped around Liu Xie's head, they were again After knowing that Dong Zhuo had been in and out of the forbidden center before Liu Xie was ill, everyone kept silent in a tacit understanding.However, the secretly surging conspiracy in the court hall became more turbulent because of Liu Xie.

In Chang'an City, Situ Mansion.

Before the curfew time, the lanterns came on, and it was the time for those courtiers to finish their day safely and tremblingly.At this time in the main hall, the servants were busy cleaning up the messy banquet. There was still a lot of food left on a few small tables. It seemed that the guests were careless and did not have much appetite.

Behind the main hall, there is a corridor and a small garden. Several black-clothed servants are hidden or appearing in the courtyard, and further inside is the inner house of Situ Wangyun.In the inner house, besides Wang Yun, there are several other people.They didn't kneel on the rug as usual when discussing matters, but they gathered around Wang Yun with serious expressions.

Today is Wang Yun's birthday, and all the courtiers came to congratulate him.However, in fact, only those present know that Wang Yun's birthday is not today at all.

Wang Yun is 54 years old this year, and this era has already belonged to people who have entered their old age in the Han Dynasty.But the reason why Wang Yun looks old is not his age or the gray color of his head, but the wrinkles on his forehead that are as deep as a knife, these wrinkles make him look rigid and rigid, while the sunken forehead The bags under the eyes and the bent body clearly tell everyone that he is very tired.In the days when he was fighting with Dong Zhuoxu and fighting wits and courage, if he loses his mind for a moment, it will be a situation that is beyond redemption.

"Gongye, you are right. The Kwantung Allied Army is indeed not Dong Zhuo's opponent. They have disbanded and returned to the Kwantung." Wang Yun said painfully. , They didn't know the news until this time.

"Now, we can only rely on ourselves." The person next to the table also sighed. This person was Zheng Tai and Zheng Gongye mentioned by Wang Yun just now.He is the Shang Shulang of the Great Han Dynasty. When the Kwantung Allied Forces fought Dong Zhuo, he once pointedly pointed out: Zhang Miao is a loyal elder, sitting in the hall, his eyes can't look around; military talent.If they are strong enough to fight against each other, they will preserve their respective strengths to see success or failure, and they will not work together to advance and retreat together.Moreover, the Kanto region has been in peace for a long time, and the people are not familiar with combat, so they are no match for Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf division at all.

"No, they can't do this!" A young man was very angry when he heard the words, and said loudly: "Your Majesty was bullied by Dong Zhuo, and his life was in danger. Now he dare not even come out of the foreign court. Our Han Dynasty has been passed down for more than four hundred years. Can he be abused by Dong Zhuo?!"

Wang Yun looked back at him, he understood the young man's anger.This man's name is Liu He, and he is a servant of a big man.However, he also has another identity, that is, the son of Liu Yu, the great Sima of the current dynasty, and the shepherd of Youzhou, and the orthodox Han royal family!
"Hey, I don't want to watch the Great Han Dynasty be destroyed like this, but Dong Zhuo's army is so powerful that we have nothing to do..." Wang Yun said this sentence with a sad face, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Liu He or just trying to comfort Liu He. Self-pity.

Liu He was discouraged for a while and had no plan.But at this moment, a voice from the next room sounded leisurely, which immediately changed the expression of everyone in the room.

"The dukes are sighing again. Could it be possible to curse Dong Zhuo to death? I have a plan. Although it is extremely dangerous, it can put all the troubles of the dukes to rest!"

Wang Yun hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Xun You and Xun Gongda holding a wine bottle with one hand, with bursts of murderous intent bursting out in his black and white eyes.Wang Yun's heart suddenly moved, he thought of something, and asked softly: "Gongda, you mean?..."

"That's right, it's the assassination of Dong Zhuo!" Xun You put down the wine bottle heavily, and replied in a cold tone.
