Cao Cao had a sullen face as he watched Dong Zhuo point at Queen Mother He and scold loudly, while the new emperor Liu Xie, who was sitting on the throne, had a smile on his lips. Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed.
Liu Xie may have felt that Dong Zhuo had avenged him. In the past, his father clearly wanted to make him the crown prince. However, Queen He and General He Jin strongly opposed it, so his father had no choice but to make Liu Bian the crown prince. Although his brother Liu Bian is also kind to him, this is the throne of the emperor!
But Liu Xie, who was secretly proud, would not know that Dong Zhuo's current actions had greatly damaged the face of the Han Dynasty, and might be a precursor to Dong Zhuo's attempt to usurp the throne!
Cao Cao was lamenting secretly, but Wang Yun in front of him let out a barely concealed sigh. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo stood in front of Empress Dowager He and was loudly accusing her of forcing Empress Dowager Dong. He was so complacent that he couldn't hear Wang Yun's sigh, otherwise Wang Yunwei would have died today!
Cao Cao quietly stepped forward and secretly touched Wang Yun's heel with his foot. Wang Yun suddenly woke up and quickly lowered his head. Later, he quietly turned around and saw Cao Cao behind him, and nodded quickly to express his gratitude.
At this time, Dong Zhuo announced that Queen Mother He would be moved to Yong'an Palace to let her reflect on her sins. He established the deposed emperor Liu Bian as King Hongnong and immediately drove him out of the forbidden palace.
Just two days later, Dong Zhuo ordered the Queen Mother He to be poisoned with poisonous wine, He Jin¡¯s mother Wuyang Jun to be killed, and He Miao¡¯s body to be cut into a coffin and killed!
At the same time, Dong Zhuo appointed Situ Huang Wan as Taiwei and Sikong Yang Biao as Situ. They nominally shared power with them, but in fact they were ignored and only used their fame to whitewash the court.
Soon, Dong Zhuo instructed his subordinates to submit a letter to worship Dong Zhuo as prime minister. At this time, Liu Xie was simply a puppet in the hands of Dong Zhuo. How could he dare to refuse? He quickly ordered Dong Zhuo to be appointed as the prime minister, with no name as counselor, no tendency to enter the court, and sword shoes in the palace!
Originally, the ministers still had some illusions about Dong Zhuo. They felt that by deposing the emperor, he was fulfilling the last emperor's will, lifting the shackles of the party and promoting party members, which won the hearts of the people. But when Dong Zhuo became Prime Minister, all the good impressions disappeared.
??What does it mean to be an unknown counselor, to enter the court without any trends, and to go to the palace with swords and shoes? That is to say, there is no need to announce or write the name when performing an event, there is no need to step forward quickly when entering the court, and there is no need to take off the sword and take off the clogs when entering the palace. Although these three things are not important, they are the highest treatment for powerful ministers in ancient times. They are the trilogy of powerful officials usurping political power. Basically, if a minister enjoys this treatment, he was either killed by the emperor, or he or his son ascended the throne of the emperor!
Dong Zhuo also noticed the overt and covert opposition of his officials to him, and his temper became even more irritable.
On this day, the imperial censor disturbed Long Zongjin when he met Dong Zhuo to report official business. He was negligent and did not take off the sword from his waist. Dong Zhuo dealt with it casually and winked at the attendant. The attendant realized what he meant and quietly stepped forward, so Dong Zhuo suddenly took the golden hammer from the attendant's hand and suddenly smashed it against the Dragon-nuisance Sect.
The harassing dragon sect was completely unprepared and was still listening carefully to Dong Xiangguo's instructions. When he suddenly heard the wind, he just raised his head in surprise, and then he was hit with a bloody head and fell to the ground.
Dong Zhuo's guards immediately rushed forward, drew their swords, and surrounded the disturbing dragon sect.
The Nuolong Sect was shocked and turned pale. Regardless of the blood flowing from his head, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Prime Minister, spare your life, Prime Minister, spare your life!"
"Spare your life?" Dong Zhuo sneered, "If I hadn't been clever, you, a thief like you, would have succeeded! Look at the sword on your waist. If you want to murder Dong, you are still far away!"
The harassing Long Zong repeatedly cried out that he was wronged, but Dong Zhuo no longer listened to his excuses, but ordered the guards to chop him into meat paste! From then on, Dong Zhuo had to wear leather armor under his brocade robe every time he went out to ensure his own safety.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's power over the government and the opposition, and gradually revealing the phenomenon of usurping the Han Dynasty and establishing self-reliance, the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were very anxious, and the representative figure among them was Wang Yun.
On this day, after he dismissed the dynasty, he quietly ordered people to say to the ministers: "Today is my birthday, and I would like to invite everyone to a small gathering in my humble home tonight."
At this time, Wang Yun officially worshiped Situ, served as Shangshu Ling, and was also an important minister in the court. Everyone gave him face and quickly agreed.
That night, Wang Yun held a banquet in the back hall to entertain the ministers. At that time, the hall was full of guests, all of whom were dignitaries from the court.
When all the guests arrived, Wang Yun ordered his family members to close the door tightly and not allow anyone to enter or exit the residence. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yun raised the wine in the bottle and suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
Everyone was very surprised and asked quickly: "Today is Lord Situ's birthday. You should be happy. How can you cry?"
Wang Yun sighed and said sadly: "Today is actually not my birthday."I just wanted to get together with everyone and was afraid that Dong Zhuo would become suspicious, so I made this excuse. Now that Dong Zhuo is bullying the master and taking power, the Han Dynasty is in danger! Think about how much effort Emperor Gao put in to punish Qin and destroy Chu, and finally bring peace to the world! I didn¡¯t expect that I would die at the hands of Dong Zhuo today! When I think of this, I can't help crying! "
Hearing what Wang Yun said, all the ministers in the audience burst into tears. Some people were sincerely sad for the fall of the Han Dynasty and shed tears of sadness; some people were ashamed of their face and felt embarrassed if they didn't cry when others were crying, so they rubbed their eyes vigorously and howled, pretending to be loyal ministers. Come.
Wang Yun looked at the mournful people in the house, and his heart became more and more sentimental, and his tears fell into the wine bottle. He reluctantly raised the wine bottle and drank the bitter wine.
At this moment, a man suddenly took a few pictures and said with a smile: "All the ministers here, even if we cry from tonight to dawn, and then from dawn to night, can we still cry to death about Dong Zhuo?!"
Wang Yun followed his reputation and found out that it was Cao Cao, the cavalry captain! Wang Yun was furious and shouted angrily: "Cao Mengde, your father and ancestors all deprived me of the salary of the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect you to accept Dong Zhuo's reward and become a knight in charge! I originally valued you very much. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a greedy person for power! Now everyone is sad about the future of the big man, how can you laugh?!"
Cao Cao shook his head slightly and said loudly: "This Xiaoqi Lieutenant is an official position awarded to me by the imperial court. What does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?! If according to Situ's statement, if Situ is in this position now, is he still Dong Zhuo's ally?! "
¡°Bold!¡±
"Discourteous!"
"Arrogant!"
The ministers present shouted loudly and criticized Cao Cao, but Cao Cao just laughed and said nothing.
Wang Yun heard Cao Cao's words and had no respect for Dong Zhuo, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Thinking about Cao Cao's reminder to him last time, Wang Yun became a little more patient, so he bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "I would like to hear the details!"
Cao Cao bowed his hands in return and said in a deep voice: "I'm not laughing for anything else, but I'm laughing at the fact that you all don't have a plan to kill Dong Zhuo! Although I, Cao Mengde, am not talented, I am willing to cut off Dong Zhuo's head and hang it in front of the capital. Come on, thank the world!"
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Wang Yun adjusted his clothes and whispered: "I would like to hear the details!"
But Cao Cao looked around and refused to say anything more. So Wang Yun invited him to a side room and asked him about the plan alone.
Cao Cao said in a low voice: "In the past few days, I have turned myself into a thief. In fact, I wanted to alienate his subordinates and look for opportunities to get rid of Dong. Now through my efforts, Dong Zhuo has some trust in me, and I can be alone with Dong Zhuo." Meeting. But Dong Zhuo is now wearing leather armor when he comes in and out, and a short blade cannot pierce it. I heard that Lord Situ has a seven-star sword, which is very sharp. I hope you can lend it to me. I am willing to use it to assassinate Dong Zhuo and risk his death. No regrets!¡±
Wang Yun was very moved and whispered: "Mengde has such a heart, how lucky the world is! Please accept my three bows!"
As he spoke, Wang Yun straightened his clothes again and bowed respectfully three times.
Cao Cao did not dodge. If he succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo this time, although he would remain famous in history, he would also be killed by Dong Zhuo's men to vent his anger; if he failed, he would be chopped into pieces by Dong Zhuo. It's just that a man does something and doesn't do something. Although he, Cao Mengde, can't expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, he is still willing to shed his blood for the Han Dynasty!
After Wang Yun finished his obeisance, Cao Cao straightened his clothes and bowed three times to Wang Yun: "Master Situ, I just accepted your three obeisances just now to strengthen my determination to break the cauldron; at the same time, I also hope you know that the person I entrusted you with It can definitely be accomplished! This assassination of Dong Zhuo, if I don't kill him, I, Cao Cao, will never return. But I, Cao Cao, still have an old father and a young son at home. If anything goes wrong, I hope you will take more care of them. I, Cao Mengde, will die without regrets."
Wang Yun accepted it calmly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Meng De, I, Wang Yun, will do my best!"
So Wang Yun got the wine and personally served it to Cao Cao to strengthen his conduct.
Cao Cao took the wine and sprinkled a small amount on the ground to pay homage to the souls of the heroes who died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, hoping that they would bless him and accomplish great things! Then he said with a smile: "Wang Situ, I, Cao Mengde, won't let you drink this wine!"
After saying that, Cao Cao drank it all in one gulp! He took the sword handed over by Wang Yun and hid it on his body.
Soon Wang Yun and Cao Cao returned to the banquet together. In front of all the guests, Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "I thought you, Cao Cao, had some good ideas, but I didn't expect it to be these shameful tricks. Even if we fall into the trap of others, Your hands are also open, how can you act like a ghost! Cao Mengde, you are not worthy of being my guest, why don¡¯t you leave quickly!"
Cao Cao also pretended to be ashamed, got up and left the table. All the guests laughed at Cao Cao and drank several glasses of wine., cried a few times, and then they were all happy, and they all went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao hid the Seven-Star Sword on his body, came to Dong Zhuo's mansion, and asked the guest: "Where is the Prime Minister?"
During this period, Cao Cao often came to visit, and Dong Zhuo also favored him. The guests did not doubt that he was there, and smiled and said to Cao Cao: "The Prime Minister is in the small pavilion in the backyard."
Cao Cao then smiled and said: "I had an appointment with the Prime Minister yesterday, and I came here to meet you today. Come on, search me quickly. I have something else to discuss with the Prime Minister!"
The doorkeeper smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Mengde, you are a regular customer of our Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister also specifically ordered you not to search your body this morning."
Cao Cao laughed secretly in his heart: Dong Zhuo, you are seeking death yourself this time! He casually patted the doorman on the shoulder and strode inside. However, Cao Cao didn't notice, but the doorman secretly sneered and looked at him with pity
