The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 293: Chain Schemes (Part 1)
Although only one year has passed, it is obvious that Dong Zhuo has aged a lot.
Looking at the still strong body slowly moving forward in front of him, Lu Bu can clearly feel that this figure has begun to age at some point. Will he look the same when he is old?
Thinking that when he is old, he will be as fat as Dong Zhuo, panting when walking, Lu Bu felt a sudden chill in his heart. If that is the case, he might as well die.
Lu Bu did not get too close. After returning to Chang'an from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's suspicion became more and more serious, and sometimes he even attacked him directly. That feeling was really not good. Sometimes Lu Bu could not help but have the urge to slap Dong Zhuo to death, but it was just an impulse.
He could feel what Dong Zhuo was afraid of. There was no evidence, but Lu Bu believed in his feelings. This feeling had never been wrong. Dong Zhuo was afraid, just like the beasts on the grassland who were afraid. When they were afraid, they would constantly show their fangs to intimidate their opponents. Dong Zhuo's current state was actually no different from those beasts. It was just that Lu Bu didn't understand. With Dong Zhuo's current status, what was there for him to be afraid of?
He had written to Chen Mo. Although this kid was not very capable, he was very smart. Over the past year or so, the two of them had been exchanging letters from time to time, which really solved a lot of problems for him.
However, Chen Mo only said that Dong Zhuo was discouraged, but he didn't say why.
There were fewer assassinations during this period, and Lu Bu was still brought by Dong Zhuo, which made Lu Bu very uncomfortable. He liked the battlefield, whether it was outside the Great Wall or the Central Plains. He liked the feeling of galloping on the battlefield and killing the enemy and making them flee in panic. But now, although he was in a high position, he was more like a guard than a general.
Will today's court session be just a formality? My daughter seems to want a silver hairpin. I can't find a place in Chang'an to sell these things now. I'll go ask Hua Xiong after the court session.
The court session has already begun. Dong Zhuo is talking about something, but Lu Bu doesn't really listen. He is now in a trance and is looking forward to the court session being dismissed quickly. Going back to accompany his wife and daughter is more useful than listening to these people talking nonsense in the court every day.
"Fengxian?" Dong Zhuo frowned at Lu Bu who was in a trance and called him again.
"I'm here!" Lu Bu responded instinctively and bowed.
"I want to ask you what you think of Li Cheng's rebellion?" Dong Zhuo was a little helpless. Why is Lu Bu always distracted recently? Should I change his guard?
"He should be killed!" Lu Bu answered very straightforwardly. In the past few months, it is not new for officials who have been accused of murder to have their three clans executed. This is also Dong Zhuo's most direct way to target political enemies. As for whether it is true or not, no one will care, and Lu Bu will not care.
"Then it's settled. You take people to do this. What do you think, Your Majesty?" At last, Dong Zhuo bowed to Liu Xie and asked.
"The Grand Master is right." Liu Xie nodded silently. It was useless for him to object. Otherwise, it would not only be Li Cheng who died. Although he was angry, he had no way to deal with it.
"I will go now!" Lu Bu bowed with his fists, but the target was Dong Zhuo instead of the emperor. His direct target of loyalty was Dong Zhuo instead of the emperor, which made Dong Zhuo very satisfied. As for the emperor, no one would care.
"Which Li Cheng?" After leaving the palace, Lu Bu realized that there seemed to be two Li Chengs in Chang'an. Which one was the offender?
"How about killing them both?" Wei Xu gave Lu Bu a plan.
"I am not a murderer, how can I do this?" Lu Bu remembered that Chen Mo had told him that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he must have his own principles. Basic etiquette such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness must not be violated, otherwise it is easy to be rejected. Lu Bu actually understood some concepts. At this time, he naturally could not kill both of them to avoid trouble. He was going to go back and ask again. Before leaving, he asked Wei Xu to keep an eye on the two Li Chengs and their families until he came back.
Several palace maids passed by in front of him and bowed to Lu Bu. Lu Bu didn't care much at first. Now he just wanted to finish the work and go home to accompany his wife. In addition to fighting, Lu Bu liked to be with his family more often, where he would feel comfortable and without chaos.
"Wait!" Lu Bu, who had already walked a few steps, suddenly turned back and stopped the palace maids.
"What do you want, general?" The leading palace maid bowed to Lu Bu again.
Lu Bu did not speak, but walked to the maid, stretched out his hand, and lifted her chin. This action was a bit frivolous, but Lu Bu was now in a high position, so the maid did not dare to move.
"What's your name?" Just a glance, Lu Bu felt a little hot in his body. The woman looked very pure, like a lotus, but even if she did not move, she would make people feel like they wanted to completely possess her.
"I am Diao Chan in the palace, my name is..." the maid said in a trembling voice.
"Diao Chan?" Lu Bu looked at the maid's moving face, her striking facial features showed a smile, but also had enough charm to attract women. He did not know that Diao Chan was actually the official name of a female official in the palace, and he had never cared about these things. Before the woman said her name, she was interrupted by Lu Bu: "Wait for me to come back!"
"Yes!" Diao Chan bowed and looked at the direction where Lu Bu left, a little confused.
"Fengxian, why are you back?" Dong Zhuo frowned as he looked at Lu Bu who had returned.
"Grandmaster, there are two Li Cheng officials in Chang'an City. I wonder which one you are talking about?" Lu Bu knew he was in the wrong and bowed to Dong Zhuo.
"Captain of Agriculture!" Dong Zhuo said speechlessly.
"Yes!" Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and did not leave.
"What else is there?" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
"Grand Master, Your Majesty, when I came back just now, I saw a female official in the palace. I fell in love with her very much and wanted to take her as my concubine." Lu Bu also specially saluted the emperor this time. After all, he wanted to ask for someone from her. .
"Presumptuous!" A minister heard this and said angrily: "Lu Bu, don't bully others too much. These maids in the palace are all His Majesty's property. How dare you ask His Majesty for a woman!?"
His Majesty's woman?
Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. There are many maids in the palace. I wonder which one General Lu is interested in?" Liu Xie quickly stopped the minister, looked at Lu Bu and said, "I will give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly felt that this young emperor was much more pleasing to his eyes, and his attitude became much more respectful: "This girl's name is Diao Chan."
"Haha~" There were many chuckles in the main hall.
Lu Bu frowned, looked at these people and said, "Why are you laughing?"
Liu Xie said helplessly: "General, there are thirty-six people in Diao Chan in the palace. Doesn't the general want all of them?"
Lu Bu was a little dumbfounded.
When the minister saw this, he sneered and said, "Diao Chan is a hat ornament. In the palace, Diao Chan is the female official in charge of hat ornaments."
Lu Bu didn't take it seriously at first, but Shangshu Ling's attitude and contemptuous eyes made him feel very uncomfortable. The originally gentle eyes gradually became sharp. The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped a lot. The laughter in the hall gradually became less and less until it finally stopped.
Liu Xie wanted to say something, but the oppressive feeling emanating from Lu Bu at this moment made those who called themselves generals speechless at this moment, let alone a young man like him, who just looked at Lu Bu and did not dare to speak. .
"The general thinks that Diaochan is a name, and the official position mentioned by the palace minister must be wrong!" Lu Bu looked at the minister with cold eyes, as if he were looking at a prey, and everyone around him looked at him. It's a weed: "Does Shangshu Ling think so?"
"Or... maybe... I remembered it wrong..." Shangshu Ling turned his head away stiffly and faced the murderous Lu Bu for the first time. He finally understood why the assassins who assassinated Dong Zhuo in the past were so easily killed by Lu Bu. Got killed.
The evil aura on Lu Bu's body slowly disappeared. Liu Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile: "In this way, I will summon the mink...those female officials from the palace. General Lu should be able to recognize them, right?" "
"Of course." Lu Bu nodded.
Dong Zhuo frowned, waved his hand and said, "Fengxian, business matters are important, let's do things first."
"Here!" Lu Bu thought it was right, and immediately turned around and left.
Fell into a trap!
Wang Yun looked at the direction Lu Bu was leaving, calmly approached Dong Zhuo, and whispered: "Grand Master, Your Majesty is deliberately trying to win over General Lu. General Lu is an upright and heroic man. If I accept your Majesty's kindness, I'm afraid... …”
Dong Zhuo frowned and nodded. Now he still trusts Wang Yun. The reason why he interrupted before was also for this reason. Liu Xie, the young emperor, is young and has a lot of tricks, so he must be on guard.
"It's better to recruit these female officials secretly. They can make General Lu so fascinated. They must be beyond ordinary people. We can detain them first, and then wait for an opportunity to give them to General Lu, which will make General Lu more loyal to the Grand Master." Wang Yun said with a smile.
"What Master said makes sense." Dong Zhuo nodded and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the end of today's court meeting."
"But General Lu..." Liu Xie was a little reluctant. This was an opportunity to win over Lu Bu.
"The long-term love between children should not be rushed for a while, let the court be dismissed!" After saying this, Dong Zhuo looked at the eunuchs beside the emperor.
"Retreat!" The eunuch understood and shouted sharply.
The ministers had become accustomed to Dong Zhuo's power. Although they were angry, they had no choice but to disperse.
Wang Yun followed Dong Zhuo and summoned all the Diao Chan from the palace for Dong Zhuo to take a look at.
"This woman..." The woman Wang Yun found is naturally not comparable to ordinary women. Even if she is standing in a group of people, she can be easily distinguished: "She is really stunning!"
"Hongchang?" Wang Yun said with a look of astonishment. Seeing Dong Zhuo's look, Wang Yun quickly said: "This girl is the adopted daughter of a lower official. Previously, the palace was short of manpower, so she was sent to the palace to serve His Majesty."
"Hongchang? Have you seen Fengxian today?" Dong Zhuo nodded. Although he was amazed, he had no intention of occupying him. After all, he was already over sixty years old. Especially in the past year, he had been worried every day. Some of his abilities had long been lost. , now he just simply doesn’t want Lu Bu to accept the emperor’s favor.
"Back to Grand Master, I have seen General Lu!" The woman bowed.
"Come with me." Dong Zhuo waved to her.
"Here~" the woman bowed.
"By the way, you will be called Diao Chan from now on. The other female officials Diao Chan can change their names." Dong Zhuo looked at the woman and said.
"Here!" The woman saluted again.
"Master, please arrange things here." Dong Zhuo pointed to the female officials, looking for someone to take Diao Chan's place.
"Don't worry, Grand Master!" Looking at Dong Zhuo's back, the smile on Wang Yun's lips was a little cold.
