The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
Betting on the throne, this is the last stand between the royalists and Dong Zhuo.
Different from the tense atmosphere outside, there was a sense of tranquility in the study room of Situ Mansion at this moment.
"Is everything arranged?"
Compared with yesterday, Wang Yun seemed unusually calm.
He was leaning on the desk with a pen in his hand, writing something, and from time to time he would flip through the book next to him to study it.
Perhaps, only after accepting the reality can we be more clear-headed and use our last bit of strength to struggle.
"Word is coming back from everywhere that the plan is going well."
The old housekeeper stood aside and was about to open his mouth, seeming to be hesitating. Seeing Wang Yun asking questions, he still answered Wang Yun's questions first.
Wang Yun nodded. He was focused on the article in front of him and didn't notice anything unusual about the housekeeper. He just said quietly again.
"Those who died have families, send someone to send them out of the city. We won't be able to take care of them after the chaos in Chang'an in a few days. Remember to give them more gold and silver, because we won't need them in the future anyway."
The old housekeeper was silent for a while.
"There aren't many of those dead soldiers who still have families. I made arrangements to leave the city yesterday. I'll just send someone to send some more silver notes later."
"Master, since you still care about their family, don't worry about writing your manuscript. Write a letter to the lady first."
The old butler's tone was a bit reproachful. It was hard to imagine that he would speak to Wang Yun like this, but he was not a servant of the palace now, but said this as a whispering elder.
Wang Yun's body trembled slightly, his pen stopped in mid-air, his eyes wandered, as if he was escaping from something.
He put down his pen, took a deep breath, stood up and walked out.
"Master! Can you bear not to leave a word to the young lady?"
Wang Yun paused.
"I am afraid."
I wonder if she has become more mature? I wonder if she has someone she likes? I wonder if she is happy now?
How can you feel relieved?
Wang Yun did not escape after all. He turned back to his seat and sat down shakily, staring straight ahead, somewhat absent-minded.
"Thinking about her makes me afraid that I will become afraid of death."
I shouldn't be afraid.
He is an official worshiper of the Three Dukes, a highly respected minister, and deeply favored by the emperor.
Countless people share my goals, some have died for their country, and some are about to die.
I am playing tricks of power and toying with the lives of countless people, but in the end I am scared to death?
This is not allowed.
Prosperity is gone, wealth is like smoke.
Wang Yun suddenly felt empty.
"Old Ren, is there any news from Jiangdong?"
"I heard that there was a rebellion in Jianye, and the Jiangdong family raised troops to surround and kill Sun Ce who was out, but Sun Ce escaped. After Sun Ce returned to Jianye, he massacred more than a dozen families. The news said that the young lady was fine."
Hearing this, Wang Yun nodded and felt relieved, he hummed and laughed.
"Hmph! Ji Shu, that bastard, I tore up his contract to free him, gave him a title, and wrote a letter of recommendation to Han Song to serve as an official in Jiangxia, so that he could contribute to the Han Dynasty. But it was better for him to run away. Jiangdong worked hard for the Sun family, and now his reputation is spread among the princes."
"Sun Jian is not like the rumors in the market. You should know his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, sir."
After being gently retorted by the housekeeper, Wang Yun said with some waning interest.
"...Of course I know, but his son Sun Ce is different. I'm afraid Sun Ce hates the Han Dynasty! It's Liu Biao! Alas, he is not seen when he is attacking the national traitors, so he is the one who adds insult to injury!"
"That's right! That's right! How could Ji Shu assist such a fool? Retribution, retribution, now that Sun Ce has regained control of Jiangdong, I'm afraid Liu Biao will be sacrificed to his father next."
"Liu Biao ambushed and killed Sun Jian for the jade seal, Liu Yu opened the city gates to welcome Yuan Shao and killed Gongsun Zan, and Liu Yan took Yizhou to retreat and live freely. The Han clan members are to blame for the royal family's current situation."
He sighed.
"The big man is going to die!"
······
In a blink of an eye, the day of surrender came.
In ten days, a magnificent high platform was built on the east side of the palace. The grand ceremony will be held here, which means that the purple energy comes from the east and the new emperor takes over.
Etiquette and drum music were all prepared. Civil and military officials were dressed in formal attire, wearing court crowns, white socks and black shoes, with beautiful jade and ceremonial swords hanging on their waists. They lined up around the concession stand according to their official positions, and slowly knelt down to wait for the ceremony to begin. .
Countless guards poured into the field, one person every ten steps, solemn and solemn.
Among them, the road leading to the concession platform is even more strict, with one person taking every three steps, as guarded as an iron barrel.
Officials were not allowed to come forward on the abdication platform. Only many palace maids knelt and sat on it holding star lanterns.
Dong Zhuo slowly walked through the palace gate along the avenue and walked in. He was walking in the middle of the avenue, and Lu Bu was walking along the side path with Fang Tian Huaji in his hand.
Walking on this road, Dong Zhuo was in a trance. He forgot about the assassination for a while, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
He was born into a wealthy and powerful family in Xiliang, but the family here was somewhat looked down upon. Those people think that the border areas are very brave and fierce, and those who do not read the books of sages are just barbaric and vulgar people.
But Dong Zhuo didn't care. He was really too lazy to read those books. In contrast, he preferred to travel around the world and make friends.
Because the Dong family is a powerful family in Xiliang, many Qiang leaders are very happy to make friends with Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was not only physically strong and powerful, but also proficient in martial arts, and was skilled in riding and arching. The Dong family was well off, and Dong Zhuo was relatively generous to the Qiang people.
Over time, Dong Zhuo's reputation spread among the Qiang people, and many Qiang people attached themselves to him.
Later, the imperial court imposed heavy taxes, even the people in the Central Plains were overwhelmed, let alone the border areas? So the Qiang people rebelled.
Due to internal and external troubles, the imperial court had no troops to mobilize to quell the rebellion. At this time, the local officials of Xiliang strongly recommended Dong Zhuo to the court. Dong Zhuo entered the official career in a daze.
With the Qiang people attached to him and the military strength the imperial court maintained in Xiliang, coupled with his reputation among the Qiang people, Dong Zhuo quickly put down the rebellion. In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo became the number one person in Xiliang.
It turns out that rights are so simple! Dong Zhuo gradually became dissatisfied with being a local governor.
When the Yellow Turbans revolted, he led his troops to suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, he was defeated and demoted back to Xiliang.
When the general He Jin recruited him to the capital to deal with the ten permanent servants, Dong Zhuo knew that the opportunity had come again. Without thinking, he led his troops and set off again.
Then, the general was killed by Shi Changshi! The capital was in chaos. As soon as his Xiliang army arrived, the entire capital was under his control, even the emperor.
Dong Zhuo was shocked. He suddenly realized that he could do whatever he wanted, and even the emperor did not dare to accuse him! In front of him, the emperor would only tremble, and his courage became even greater.
Staying on the dragon bed at night and enjoying the woman prepared for the emperor made him feel a little exciting and addictive. He looked at the emperor, feeling like a trembling son.
He was a little dissatisfied with such a "son", so he planned to change him. Then Ding Yuan came to stand up for the emperor, and then he just agreed to the counselor's plan and gave away a little gold and a BMW, and Ding Yuan died? !
With Lu Bu's allegiance, Dong Zhuo felt that he had nothing to fear. Anyone who dared to oppose him would be killed. He was happy and free, doing whatever he wanted, thinking that he might as well stop being a little emperor and become an emperor himself.
But the evil Cao Cao offered him a sword and immediately ran away. Later he found out that Cao Cao planned to assassinate him, but when he saw no chance, he escaped in the name of offering the sword. Dong Zhuo was furious and vowed to kill Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao brought eighteen princes and drove him out of Luoyang.
He was a little scared now, restrained himself a lot, and did not dare to do anything like the emperor.
As a result, those princes started fighting among themselves after taking Luoyang. They didn't care about the emperor at all and went on their own expeditions. Then Dong Zhuo became bolder again.
Walking up to the concession stand and looking at the ant-like officials in the audience, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily.
Starting today, he is the emperor!
"Gale" "Gale" "Gale"
It’s the west gate of the palace! Yulin Army?
"what happened?"
Dong Zhuo was shocked and angry. Only then did he realize that the little emperor had not arrived yet.
Logically speaking, Sangong should have already picked up the young emperor and was waiting for him on the abdication platform. He was in a trance just now and didn't think much about it. He just walked up to the abdication platform to enjoy himself. After all, he thought it wouldn't be a big deal if the little emperor arrived later and handed over the jade seal to him.
But something seems wrong now!
Dong Zhuo was walking down when he stood up suddenly after lying down.
Behind him was Lu Bu, and the main road was densely packed with his own soldiers. Dong Zhuo looked at Fu Wan with confidence and smiled coldly.
"After defeating the old thief, do you want to rebel?"
Many guards began to point their weapons at Fu Wan, waiting for Dong Zhuo's order.
Fu Wan did not answer, nor even looked at Dong Zhuo. He looked at the officials who were still kneeling on the ground with a scrutinizing gaze and spoke loudly.
"Are all my colleagues willing to die for His Majesty?"
Many pairs of surprised eyes looked at Fu Wan. Could Fu Wan assassinate Dong Zhuo in such a scene?
There was even more mockery in the eyes of many people, but Fu Wan ignored them. He drew out his sword and continued.
"Your Majesty is fighting out of the city under the protection of the Yu Lin Army. Dear ministers who are not afraid of death, just follow me and kill Dong Zhuo's lackeys here to buy time for Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in front of everyone's shocked eyes, Fu Wan slashed with his sword at an official who was trying to force the emperor to abdicate. Blood spattered five steps and his head rolled down.
As if a signal had been sent, the dozens of guards who had been maintaining order just now turned into dead warriors, and started killing the guards and officials from Dong Zhuo's side.
Wow~~
All the officials were immediately furious and fled in all directions. Many guards didn't care about anything else and just looked at the other guards around them defensively, fearing that they might also be cheated. Dong Zhuo's soldiers quickly formed a circle to protect Dong Zhuo.
Some ministers ran to Dong Zhuo for help, but were killed by his own soldiers as assassins.
Some ministers began to wave their swords and looked at other ministers.
The scene was chaotic.
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he vomited blood.
"Find the old thief! How dare you!"
