"I don't know about this either~"
Yuan Shao told the truth: "I have sent people to investigate, but there are no clues. I thought these forbidden troops were done by Ding Jianyang."
"Ding Yuan?"
"Ben Chu, if other than him, who else could mobilize the imperial city's imperial army?"
Most of the Southern Army was in their hands, and the Northern Army was under the control of the five major captains, the Northern Army Zhonghou, and Zhi Jinwu.
Lu Zhi muttered: "Yesterday, the inner court was cleared. All the previous forbidden troops were cleared out, leaving only a few hundred guards."
"Yes, that's the news I got. According to the information from the inner court guards, the commander of Yu Linlang is named Huo Changqing."
"Huo Changqing?"
Cao Cao was puzzled and said: "Is it the Huo family in Hedong? This is unlikely..."
Although his Huo family has produced two extraordinary figures, it has been two hundred years, so it is impossible no matter how hard you think.
"The imperial court has made a new decision, please don't touch it lightly."
"yes…"
"Report!"
A servant came in, writing an invitation book in his hand.
"Sir, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, sent someone to deliver the invitation."
"oh?"
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, then took the invitation, and looked sad after reading it.
"This...Dong Zhuo is hosting a banquet for his ministers. I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet~"
"It's just Dong Zhuo, what are you afraid of?"
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "What Benchu said is true. Let's go together."
"good!!"
…
Situ Mansion.
Wang Yun was promoted to Situ and moved his family and money here. The servants were very busy.
"Clean up here, trim the branches and leaves in the flower bed over there."
"Yes, Master Situ!"
Wang Yun walked towards a courtyard with a smile, which is now Diao Chan's small courtyard. There is a large hot spring inside, and the water is steaming hot.
A pavilion stands beside the spring, and Diao Chan lies on the stone table, as if in a daze.
"Chan'er!"
"Meet the adoptive father..."
When Diao Chan saw Wang Yun coming, she hurriedly saluted.
"Chan'er, your adoptive father will take you to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow. Today, the emperor will confer you as a noble concubine."
"My foster father is now a Situ. My daughter congratulates my foster father for being ranked among the three nobles."
"Haha~"
Wang Yun smiled from ear to ear and said confidently: "Dong Zhuo is inviting me to a banquet tonight. I will go to the banquet later. You can have a good rest at the mansion."
"Ah? Dong Zhuo only entertained his adoptive father?"
"That's not..."
A glimmer of wisdom flashed through Diao Chan's beautiful eyes, and she asked inquiringly: "Then Dong Zhuo should have hosted a banquet for the ministers? My daughter heard that this man was a cruel man. Today, the maid went to the morning market to buy rouge. She encountered Xiliang soldiers rampaging through the city and killed her. Many people and ordinary people were crushed to death by Dong Zhuo's carriage."
"To be so confident at the emperor's feet, I'm afraid he is very ambitious. Although his adopted father was appointed as a disciple by the emperor and ranked among the three nobles, he was considered to be the emperor's arm."
"If someone targets the emperor, I'm afraid my adoptive father will not be able to escape..."
Wang Yun turned pale after hearing this and said, "Well, what should we do? I have already promised the emperor and promised you to him."
"If you don't comply, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor~"
Diao Chan smiled sweetly and said: "Don't be too good for your adoptive father. Today, I am young and don't understand government affairs. You can help the Han Dynasty. As long as the traitors are eliminated and the Han Dynasty is restored, then the adoptive father will be famous far and wide."
"Above the court, it is determined that my adoptive father will look up to you!"
Wang Yun clapped his hands and applauded. Diao Chan's words were deep in his heart. As long as he united with the ministers to kill Dong Zhuo, then he would have the final say in the court.
Who doesn’t want to be a powerful minister with all the power in the government?
Only when he reaches this height, the direction of the big man is under his control.
"Haha, okay! Chan'er, you have to fight for it and become the master of this harem."
"yes!"
"My daughter will remember her adoptive father's kindness in her heart. If Diao Chan becomes the master of the harem, she will definitely help her adoptive father complete the great cause in her heart."
Wang Yun said with a smile: "I don't have any great cause in my heart. I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace and assist the emperor to help the Han Dynasty."
"Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to go to Wenmingyuan for the banquet."
"Yes, my daughter will give you one as a gift."
Diao Chan gave a slight salute, then personally escorted Wang Yun out of Situ's Mansion and onto a carriage, and then returned to her courtyard.
Wenmingyuan.
Dong Zhuo held a grand banquet, and no one dared not attend. Moreover, Dong Zhuo lured He Jin and He Miao's troops, whose strength increased a lot.
"Mr. Yuan!"
"Master Yang~"
"This time Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet for all the ministers. I'm afraid he has a big plan. Look at each step in the garden."
Yuan Wei nodded and turned to look aside. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Zhi were coming.
"uncle!"
"Ben Chu is here..."
In the Wenmingyuan Hall, all the officials gathered here, each found a seat and sat down, singing and dancing.
The dancers all looked enchanting and charming, and the merchant girls did not know the hatred of losing their country, but they were still singing in the backyard across the river.
"Okay, haha... okay!"
"Come, drink..."
When the banquet began, Dong Zhuo did not appear here immediately. Instead, he asked Li Ru to entertain the ministers on his behalf.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao did not see Dong Zhuo, so he was inevitably suspicious.
"At this time, what exactly is Dong Zhuo's intention this time? I haven't seen him yet."
"Who knows."
Before they finished speaking, the dancers were stopped by a voice. At this time, Dong Zhuo walked in with a powerful force, leading a group of soldiers.
"Masters, if you don't treat me well, why don't you invite Haihan? Hahahahaha."
All the ministers put down their wine glasses. Only a young man in red robes and armor ate the food. Xue Rengui's mouth was full of oil. He was sent by Liu Bian to find out the news.
"Delicious…"
Your Majesty, you must not deceive me. It is such a delicious dish, but it is a pity that it does not include a bucket of rice.
He had almost eaten all the dishes on the table. Although Xue Rengui was sitting in the corner, Dong Zhuo also glanced at him.
I feel very contemptuous in my heart. Is this person probably not eating in eight lifetimes?
Dong Zhuo walked straight to the front. Li Ru bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Dong, you are here."
"Hmm~"
"I invite you all to come here today because it is actually a national event."
"The emperor is the lord of the people, and he cannot worship the ancestral temple and the state without dignity. Today, the emperor is cowardly and lustful, and does not understand government affairs. He is not as smart and studious as King Chenliu, who can inherit the great throne. I want to depose the young emperor and establish King Chenliu, but the ministers think how?"
Now, the number of troops under his control has reached more than 7,000, not to mention leading soldiers into the city day and night.
These people all thought that Dong Zhuo had at least 10,000 troops.
All the ministers looked at each other in shock, some were shocked, some were angry, but no one dared to speak out. Only one person stepped forward to object. It was the governor of Bingzhou, Jin Wu Ding Yuan Ding Jianyang.
Ding Yuan scolded angrily: "How presumptuous! You are really speaking arrogantly! Who are you to dare to make such arrogant remarks? The emperor is the eldest son of the late emperor. He has done nothing wrong and has not lost any virtue. How can he talk about abolishing the throne? Things!"
"What's the difference between what you want to do and a traitor?"
"you!!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes widened angrily and he said: "Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
The sword was tense for a moment, and just when Dong Zhuo was about to draw his sword, he saw a fierce general who was more than eight feet tall running out of the hall and standing beside Ding Yuan.
"Father!"
The person coming was none other than Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms.
Lu Bu was born with a majestic and majestic weapon. He held Fang Tian's painted halberd and glared at Dong Zhuo angrily.
"Thief Dong, stop being so arrogant!"
Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "We are having a banquet today and making three rounds after drinking. Do not talk about state affairs indiscriminately. It is better to discuss it another day."
"What do you think?"
"snort…"
Ding Yuan shook his sleeves and led Lu Bu towards the outside of the palace. No one dared to block his way.
Xue Rengui's eyes flashed with passion, this big guy is a strong enemy, the master is lonely, and Lu Bu is also a Fangtian painted halberd.
