Chapter 163: Cai Yan's entrustment

Frustration and Tian Feng are all smart people, Dong Zhuo is a self-proclaimed master, self-proclaimed "Shang Father", the sword is on the court, praise and worship is not named, where is the appearance of being a courtier, the court has existed in name only, Liu Xie, the emperor, is just an ornament, in this case, the golden armor god said that Liu Xin is kind to the people of the world, it is even more worth playing,

However, on the matter of Liu Xin's proposal to bring the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He to Xiangyang, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng had different opinions, Tian Feng felt that Dong Zhuo had already established Liu Xie, if Liu Zhuo got the abolished emperor to Xiangyang, it would become a burden, and he would be tied to things.

These two people, Tian Feng can't wait for Liu Xin to be enthroned as emperor to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he can't get rid of the old way of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", Liu Xin listened to the words of the two of them, couldn't help but scratch his head, and simply said with a straight face: "I want to take their mother and son to Xiangyang, there is no special purpose, just to let them spend the rest of their lives in peace, you just need to help me think about how to pick them up, as for whether to take them is not something you should consider." ”

Liu Xin is really sincere in taking the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He to Xiangyang this time, the mother and son died very miserably in history, and the Empress Dowager He was indeed vicious in the murder of Wang Meiren, but Liu Wei is just a teenager, and he is indeed innocent.

Seeing Liu Xin's rare face, he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, in their eyes, this is the performance of a person who is about to become a monarch, if Liu Xin knows what they are thinking, they will definitely scold, these two masochists,

Liu Xin's words really worked, Tian Feng bowed and said: "Back to the lord, since Dong Zhuo put the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He under house arrest in the palace, he will not let them leave easily. ”

Fu Zhu continued: "Over the years, the imperial court has been able to turn around, thanks to my Jingzhou paying taxes on time, if Dong Zhuo refuses to hand over the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He, Jingzhou will no longer pay money and grain, this is the benefit." ”

Liu Xin nodded and said: "The two gentlemen think about it carefully, write a note, as long as Dong Zhuoken asks the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He to come to Xiangyang, I am willing to give the annual tax amount this month." ”

As soon as Fu Zhu and Tian Feng left, Cai Yong came to ask for a meeting and said, "Lord, my subordinates have something to ask for. ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, you and I are a family, it doesn't matter if you have anything to say." ”

Cai Yong said solemnly: "The upper and lower levels are respectful and humble, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, and the subordinates want to take Zhaoji's mother and son home to live, and I hope that the lord will agree." ”

Just two months ago, Bian Yu and Cai Yan each gave birth to a son, Zhu Qian gave birth to a daughter for Liu Xin, Bian Yu named her son Bian Zhang, and her mother's surname was Liu Xin's long time agreed, Zhu Qian has now taken a light look at giving birth to children, Liu Xin loves her two daughters very much, and she has nothing to regret, not to mention that she is just a concubine, even if she gives birth to a son, she is also a concubine, it is better to have a daughter, and the daughter will marry in the future, and it will not be very beautiful in the future with her mother's surname, So she still insisted on naming this little daughter Liu Shan,

Cai Yan gave birth to a daughter last time, and this time she finally gave birth to a son, she didn't expect Liu Xin to agree to let this child take her mother's surname, but Liu Xin knew Cai Yong's thoughts, and did not hesitate to let her son follow her mother's surname, and personally named her son Cai Yi, Liu Xin took this name a little bad taste in it, he already knew that Cai Yan originally used the word Zhaoji, and later changed it to Wen Ji because he avoided Sima Zhao's obscurity, so now he simply named his son Yi, disgusting and disgusting Sima family,

Cai Yong was influenced by feudal etiquette, and has always opposed his daughter returning to her parents' house for no reason, this time she offered to take her mother and son home to live, which surprised Liu Xin, but Liu Xin quickly figured it out, Cai Yong has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he can be regarded as an old man in that era, taking Cai Yan's mother and son home to live is just an excuse, he misses his grandson, for Cai Yong's request, of course Liu Xin agreed very happily, and asked Cai Yan to bring his four-year-old daughter over,

Two days later, Fu Zhu has already prepared the money and grain to Luoyang, a total of 700 million money, mainly some copper coins, grain, cloth, and 500 carts, for the candidate to send to Luoyang, Liu Xin personally circled Han Song, on the one hand, Han Song has a lot of reputation in Shilin, on the other hand, Liu Xin also knows that Dong Zhuo is a demon king who kills people without blinking, he is not at ease to let Fu Zhu and Tian Feng take risks,

Han Song was reluctant to make a trip to Luoyang, and said to Liu Xin: "Go back to the lord, your subordinates will go to the capital, if the Son of Heaven sends them, your subordinates will no longer be able to serve the lord." ”

Liu Xin said disapprerovingly: "You just have to go, and we'll talk about other things later." ”

But Liu Xin could not ignore his safety, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead five hundred flying tigers to escort him into Beijing, considering that Lu Bu was known as the first general of the Three Kingdoms, and the Xiliang army had always been quite unreasonable, Liu Xin did not dare to let people directly send money and grain to Luoyang, so as not to be empty of people and money, he ordered Huang Zhong and Xu Chu to lead 20,000 horses to escort money and grain to Yingchuan and station, put on a posture of handing over money and handing over people with one hand, waiting for Dong Zhuo to send someone to hand over, and ordered Xu Huang to lead his troops out of Nanyang, thinking that he would respond,

Liu Xin did not hide the fact that he wanted to bring the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He to Xiangyang, not only the officials under him, but also many people in the city had heard about it, the Empress Dowager He, as the queen of the first emperor, could not leave the palace casually, not to mention being taken to Xiangyang by a foreign minister, but Liu Xin's reputation in Jingzhou is like Zhongtian, as long as it is the decision he makes, everyone takes it for granted that it is right,

Cai Yong talked about this matter at home, and even agreed with Liu Xin's approach, because after all, he has been an official for many years, and he also knows how dark the officialdom is, the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He are now under house arrest in the palace, and the son must be living very miserable, I heard that Liu Xin was going to send someone to the capital to pick up the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He, Cai Yan used her brain, she quietly instructed the maid to invite General Zhao Yun,

Zhao Yun was packing up, and when he heard that Cai Yan was summoned, he hurriedly came to Cai Yong's mansion and bowed his hand and said: "The last general Zhao Yun saw the master's mother, I don't know what the master's mother called, what orders do you have." ”

Since listening to Liu Xin talk about the golden armor god with Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Xu Huang, Zhao Yun no longer refuses to call Liu Xin the eldest brother, and everyone before and after is commensurate with the lord, no matter how Liu Xin persuades him, Zhao Yun just doesn't change his name, Liu Xin has to give up, and even Ma Yun has become accustomed to the title of "master mother",

Cai Yanping said that the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, and Zhao Yun is not often seen, but he is very uncomfortable with this title, and hurriedly returned the salute: "General Zilong does not need to be polite, the concubine invites the general to come, there is a matter to entrust, here is a letter, please hand over to the general after arriving in the capital, and hand it over to Lord Wang Yun, and some gifts are also given to Lord Wang, and please ask the general to ask Lord Wang for a person." ”

Since Zhao Yun entered the hall of Cai's mansion, he never squinted, and said with his hand: "The master mother ordered, Zhao Yun should do his best, but I don't know who the master mother is asking for, and the king is willing to let go." ”

Cai Yan saw that Zhao Yun was so respectful to her, and he didn't feel funny, and said: "The general doesn't need to be so nervous, what the concubine is asking for is just a childhood playmate, she is a dancing girl in Wang Yun's mansion, and the gifts I gave are paper and porcelain. ”

Only then did Zhao Yun understand that she wanted to use Xiang paper and porcelain to exchange a woman for Wang Yun, and this matter would naturally not be difficult, so she immediately agreed.

Liu Xin attached great importance to the matter of receiving the Empress Dowager He's mother and son to Xiangyang this time, and sent Zhao Yun and Han Song to the Shili Long Pavilion.

But said that Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Bian, and the power was in his hands, he listened to the persuasion of his son-in-law Li Ru, in order to buy people's hearts, on the one hand, he wantonly confiscated the eunuchs' family property, on the other hand, he searched for celebrities, and filled all the vacant official positions when Liu Hong was in power, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Miao and others were not Dong Zhuo's relatives and friends, and they were all released as officials, and even Yuan Shao, who fled Luoyang, was also appointed as the Taishou of Bohai, and the chaos in the capital slowly calmed down.

However, the good times did not last long, Dong Zhuo was greedy for money and lustful, he was now complacent, and gradually revealed his true appearance, and began to connive at the soldiers to search for the rich family, take it when they see it, and take it when they see it, there are many rich and noble relatives in Luoyang City, these people have countless assets, have a beautiful wife, have beautiful concubines, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, who knows that the disaster fell from the sky, and a family was ruined in an instant, and even the beauty at the head of the bed was robbed by the soldiers and sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not knowing life and death,

Dong Zhuo sat in the mansion every day, and when the soldiers returned from looting, he personally inspected it, sent the best treasures into the treasury, the most beautiful women into the back house, and the rest of the rich women were all rewarded to his soldiers.

Even so, Dong Zhuo was still insufficient, and went to the palace to inspect those palace ladies, but when he saw the lovely appearance, regardless of whether he had been favored by Liu Hong or not, he was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion for his amusement.

At this time, the attendant beside Liu Wei quietly sent a poem, "The tender grass is green and condensed, the two flying swallows are curling, the Luoshui is green, the Mo Shangren is envious, and the blue clouds are deep in the distance, it is my old palace, who is loyal and righteous, and vents the resentment in my heart." This poem was written by Liu Bian, Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy, and said: "Liu Biao has resentment, and now he is famous for killing." Immediately ordered Li Ru to kill Liu Wei, who was under house arrest in Yong'an Palace,

Li Ru entered the palace, took out three things, and said to Liu Wei: "Xiangguo will wait for the return, you can take the same three things yourself." ”

The three things are, a glass of wine, a long white silk, a short sword, the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian's concubine Tang Xian were all shocked, the Empress Dowager He has long since lost the fierce appearance of poisoning Wang Meiren, trembling, begging bitterly, but Tang Xian is not afraid of danger, willing to die on behalf of Liu Bian,

Li Ru laughed, pointed at Liu Wei with his finger and said: "After he dies, do you still want to live, you don't want to choose yourself, then I'll choose it for you, come and strangle him with white silk." ”

The soldiers on the left and right were already impatient, held Liu Wei down, wrapped white silk around his neck, and strangled him with a dead end, Liu Bian's eyes rolled white, his legs kicked wildly, and he lost his breath after a while.

Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji cried bitterly, wanting to come forward to rescue, but were caught by the soldiers and couldn't move, Li Ru looked at these two women, one was the emperor and the other was the princess, and now they were kneeling in front of him by the soldiers, and couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority, and said proudly: "You two sluts, cry as much as you want, I will send you on the road immediately." ”
