Lu's relatives

Chapter 335 Dong Cheng Plans to Earn Qin Xu
Yuzhou, Xuchang!
Ever since the Son of Heaven visited this place, Xu County, which was originally not very eye-catching, officially changed its name and became the companion capital of the great man.

The emperor has his own rules and regulations. Xuchang began to build large-scale construction projects and build palaces and pavilions since Cao Cao went to Chang'an to rescue the emperor. Everything followed the old system of Luoyang. This move won the approval of Cao Cao from a considerable number of courtiers.

At this time, it is the end of the new year, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty has to get rid of the thief, hoping that in the future, the great Han will be rejuvenated and the Yuan Xingping will be changed. In addition, Cao Cao will go out to fight against the rebel Yuan Shu who pretends to be the emperor and return with a big victory. Sanxi Gathering together, the already brand-new city of Xuchang also has an atmosphere of prosperity and renewal.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can get them and punish them! This is the sign of the great man's rejuvenation! Cao Qing fought well! He was defeated at the first touch, and fled to the rivers and lakes...Fight well! The speed is also well controlled! It is time to shock this group of people who only know their own. The arrogance of a traitor who doesn't know his family!" In Jianzhang Palace, the young emperor Liu Xie held the news of the great victory played by Cao Cao on the table, and his face was filled with unconcealable excitement. The daughter of the Dong family, Dong Lin, said emotionally.

"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have gone through hardships, fatigued, hungry, and exhausted. Now that you think about it, isn't it just what Meng Sheng said, and the heaven will send a great mission to Your Majesty? And this time, Your Majesty has to get rid of the thief. Xu Du, within a few months, the world will gradually stabilize, the traitors will flee, and the world will be at peace, which shows that Your Majesty is indeed the chosen Lord of the rejuvenation of my great Han!" Seeing Liu Xie dancing excitedly, Dong Linqiang smiled coquettishly echoed said.But hearing Liu Xie's distaste for the noble family of the great Han family revealed in Liu Xie's words, he frowned secretly.

Dong Lin was born in a noble family, she is the niece of the Empress Dowager Dong's direct relative, and she can even be related to Dong Zhuo.In addition, since being sent to Liu Xie by Dong Cheng, although he is a noble person in name, in fact, since Dong Lin saw that Liu Xie, who is the emperor, was first regarded as a plaything by Dong Zhuo and a puppet by Xiliang soldiers. Even when Xiliang was defeated, if his father Dong Cheng hadn't stepped forward, he might not have been able to take care of the so-called guard of honor of the Son of Heaven. How could there be any so-called prestige?But now, the world has been sent back to Liu Xie by "loyal ministers", and Liu Xie feels that his wings are hardened, and he even wants to act arbitrarily.I don't even think about it, he is just a half-grown child, and he has given up his status as the emperor. Without the help of these aristocratic families, how would there be the current stability?Coupled with the fact that Liu Xie suffered from hardships since he was a child, he was manipulated by powerful officials, and his temperament was extremely weird. In addition, he was too young to have a relationship with husband and wife. After being together for these years, he still has some feelings. A kitten and puppy will also give birth to some love, but if it is no matter how deep it is, then it is not easy to say.

"That's natural. With Cao Qing guarding Xuchang as the center of the Han Dynasty, and the two Qing families of Lu and Qin sitting in the two states of Qingxu as foreign aid, plus several uncles of mine guarding the four directions, the foundation of the Han Dynasty is stable, and there is a little scabies. But isn't it just for my accumulated reputation?" Liu Xie felt good about himself, and picked up the memorial that Cao Cao attributed most of the credit to Liu Xie, reading it with relish.

"Your Majesty...that's what you said!" Dong Lin looked at Liu Xie's appearance, as if this big man had no other ministers besides Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Qin Xu who had evil eyes.Moreover, Dong Lin has seen through the cold nature of His Majesty the Son of Heaven. If you want to say that the one who led the troops to "contribute" the most, but Yuan Shao, who was already dead, always talked about it before. After Yuan Shu's different mother and brother, he never mentioned it again, and sometimes he could even vaguely hear Liu Xie's resentment towards the entire Yuan family including Yuan Shao.Too utilitarian!Dong Lin moved her willow eyebrows that were curved like a crescent moon, secretly slandering the 13-year-old emperor.

"Your Majesty! Uncle Dong Cheng, General Cheqi, please see him!" Just as Liu Xie was immersed in the hopeful dream of defeating the "powerful enemy" that Cao Cao had created for him, Jianzhang's servant suddenly came to report.Dong Cheng’s chariot general is different from the chariot general who was conferred on Yuan Shao at the beginning. Although there is one word missing, one is a military nobility plus official, one is a post official, one is above Sangong, and one is more than Sangong. As far as the level is concerned, the third-class official status is also missing.However, the two official positions are so similar, whether there is any deep meaning in them, but only the emperor Liu Xie knows.

"Ah! Daddy is here! Quick, please come in!" Although Dong Lin is now a nobleman in the Han Palace, she is just a little girl. When she heard the servant's words that Dong Cheng was visiting, she suddenly smiled, but it was subconscious. He opened his mouth to order, but he didn't notice the anger flashing in the eyes of the 14-year-old Liu Xie at all.

"Old minister, chariot and general Dong Cheng, see your majesty, nobleman!" The emperor is so dignified, even as an old father-in-law, he has to give his precious daughter and son-in-law their names and official positions to salute.It is a felony these days to pay homage without being approved by the special edict.

"Uncle Guo bestows a seat!" Liu Xie stood up very politely, and stretched out his hand to support Dong Cheng.Liu Xie didn't learn anything else during the bumpy and wandering years, but the ability to watch people order dishes has been fully realized by himself. Now Dong Cheng has a high prestige among the officials, and he is also the uncle of the country. Due to his status, he needs his help in many things. Liu Xie naturally gave Dong Cheng enough face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo has been working hard recently, but he doesn't come to the palace less. I used to talk about my old man, but now that my father-in-law is in good health, I feel relieved!"

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. The old minister dares to die!" Liu Xie's actions and words fell into Dong Cheng's eyes, and he felt that Liu Xie was a wise gentleman who treated others with humility and courtesy. Daughter Dong Lin sat upright, lowered her eyebrows, looked like a virtuous concubine, and Dong Cheng smiled more, bowed her hands in a procedural manner to thank Liu Xie, and said to Liu Xie straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here, There are three things to tell Your Majesty."

"My lord, it's all right!" Liu Xie was very satisfied with Dong Cheng's low profile, nodded with a smile, sat down on the brocade pier of Xiulong, and nodded to signal Dong Cheng to continue.

"One is the son of former Sikong Yuan Feng, the nephew of Grand Tutor Yuan Huai. General Cheqi, younger brother of Marquis Yuan Shao, later general Yuan Shu conspired against him and proclaimed himself emperor. It is rumored that the Jade Seal, an artifact of the kingdom, was passed on privately and proclaimed the emperor. It was called the Zhong Family, and has been taken care of by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, etc..." Seeing that Liu Xie was very interested, Dong Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and immediately raised his voice. , said.

"Could it be that your lord is talking about the events of Marquis Caoqing of Wuping, Marquis Wen of Lu Qing, Marquis of Wuting Qinqing and others chasing the rebel Yuan Shu from Xiapi to Huaisi?" Seeing that Dong Cheng said that he was closest to the royal blood according to the legend, Mr. Liu Xie, who was most likely to become the shepherd of Weiyang, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, became a bit unhappy after the emperor's blood heir was cut off.It is almost a common problem of the emperors of the Han Dynasty to attach importance to clan relatives and be wary of clan relatives.In fact, it can't be blamed that Liu Xie doesn't want to see the Han family clan so much.Thinking about the 400 years of the Great Han Dynasty, there are so many branches of the Han clan, almost as many as pigs and dogs, but Liu Xie, who is the emperor, was trapped in the hands of Dong Zhuo. Almost none of the clan members of the Han Dynasty took action.In Liu Xie's view, these people's enthusiasm for the so-called loyalty to the emperor is far less than their desire for their own seats.Therefore, seeing Dong Cheng speak like this, he had a little resistance at first.

"What your majesty said is that your majesty has already got the news! It's the old minister who is busy!" The reason why Dong Cheng was the first to say this news was actually because of his considerations. It didn't matter that Dong Cheng was robbed by Liu Xie. Annoyed, he stood up and gave a respectful salute, and said seemingly ashamed.

"You don't have to be like this, my lord, I just found out not long ago." Dong Cheng's bow made Liu Xie lose his temper, and he forced a smile, and said to Dong Cheng: "My lord just said that there are three things. Know what the other two things are?"

"Thank you for your majesty's innocence, and the old minister is very grateful!" Dong Cheng said in a procedural way, "The second thing is also related to the first thing, that is, the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi, which was captured According to Yuan Shu’s confidant Gong Cao, the traitor’s subordinate, it seems that it was stolen by the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian’s eldest son, Caomin Pottery Merchant, and now the generals of all parties are doing their best to track down the whereabouts of this artifact for His Majesty.”

"It's a good thing they have a heart! It's just that the thief who dared to steal the artifact turned out to be Tao Qian's eldest son. It seems that Tao Qian has a good eye for others, but after all, he is still a little lazy in the discipline of his own flesh and blood. But since he has I am a commoner, and I think of Tao Gongzu's achievements in the past, so I won't add Yi people!" Liu Xie's still childish face flashed a few murderous looks, and he really hated all the officials who were associated with the Chuanguo Yuxi, in Liu Xie's heart. These rebellious ministers who have no heart to swallow the elephant made the chaos, which made the world of the great man fall to where it is today.Therefore, without asking too much, the potter was sentenced to death directly.He said, "What about the third one? After all, it's a good thing I've never heard of, right?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, the third matter is sent from Qingzhou, which is also related to the first two matters!" Dong Cheng's face became more and more flat, and he said: "It is said in the form that Kong Rong, the former prefect of Beihai, was promoted to Qingzhou Zhizhong. Because he was dissatisfied with the administration of Lu Bu, the great general of Hushi, who came to the Grand Sima Qingzhou Muwen Hou, he joined hands with Tao Ying, the second son of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and colluded with the former Xuzhou rebel general Zhang Kai, the remnant of the Yellow Turban bandit Yu Fang, etc., intending to seek Linzi. He tried to mess up Qingzhou again, but was bumped into by Lu Wenhou, who had hurriedly retreated back from Lujiang when he was about to fall. Just ten days ago, when he was about to be escorted to Xuchang and handed over to the emperor, Kong Rong , Tao Ying was suddenly rescued by Wang Yue, the swordsmanship teacher of His Majesty who was loved by the late emperor, the chief court swordsman, and disappeared. Qin Xu, the governor of Xuzhou, was carrying the apology form of Lu Wenhou, and Zhang Kai , Yu Fang, potters and thousands of thieves drove to Xuchang, begging the emperor to let him go."

"Hmph! The rebellious officials and thieves are all caught and punished! Well, you mean that my childhood swordsmanship teacher, Master Wang Yue, also participated in it, and also rescued Kong Rong and Tao Ying?" Dong Cheng and Lu Bu's grievances There is not only the national hatred of helping Dong Zhuo, but also the family hatred of killing Dong Zhuo, which is complicated and tight. Moreover, because Qin Xu stole Dong Cheng's limelight before, Dong Cheng clearly felt Liu Xie's love for him. This time, although he did not dare to change the meaning of Lu Bu's statement, but because of the change in tone, he succeeded in dispelling the suspicion of the forced suspicious emperor Liu Xie in front of him.After Liu Xie heard the news of Dong Cheng's hidden private goods, he really frowned and asked, "Who are Kong Rong and Tao Ying... No, Uncle Guo, you just said, who is the other person?" A pottery merchant? Could it be the eldest son of Tao Qian who was confessed by Yuan Shu's subordinates to have stolen the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom?"

"Huh? There is such a thing? Maybe the old minister is really stupid, and he didn't notice it, he really deserves to die!" Dong Cheng bowed deeply, as if he was very ashamed.

"Please, my lord, I didn't blame you. Did you just say that Qin Qing, the governor of Xuzhou, personally escorted these rebels here?" Liu Xie asked with a trembling voice, his expression unchanged.

"Yes! The old minister did say that." Dong Cheng still didn't look up, as if he was afraid of the majesty of the emperor, but actually he was afraid of laughing out loud after hearing Liu Xie's tone.

"Hmm! Unexpectedly, it has been several months since I and Qin Qing parted..."
