In the evening, Taishifu.
In the main hall, Li Li and Dong Wan came to the door together to ask to see Dong Zhuo, and sat in the hall waiting for Dong Zhuo to show up.
But Li Li and Dong Wan waited for half an hour in a row, but Dong Zhuo still didn't come out.
"Husband, don't worry, maybe my father can't get away from his busy government affairs, let's wait a while." Dong Wan said softly and comfortingly.
Li Li sat on top of Dong Wan, sitting upright, closing his eyes and recuperating, his body motionless like an old monk.
Feeling the anxiety in Dong Wan's tone, Li Li grinned: "I'm fine, I still have this bit of patience." But don't be too anxious, the regents of the Xiangguo and the auxiliary country, the military and the government are piled up, and it is a matter of course to come a little later. However, when I see Xiangguo later, there are some things that I can't say as a son-in-law, and I have to persuade you, my own daughter. Remember, don't worry about Sangkook getting angry, there are some things we have to say clearly tonight, otherwise it will be too late to say anything by the time the dust settles tomorrow. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, the concubine knows what to do." Dong Wan looked at Li Li with a warm face and said softly.
"Good. This should be done sooner rather than later, lest there be no regret after the incident. Li Li said with a slight bow.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
A familiar sound of heavy footsteps came from the side door of the lobby, Li Li and Dong Wan and his wife immediately got up to greet each other, and Dong Zhuo finally appeared.
"Hehehe!" Before anyone arrives, laugh first. Dong Zhuo walked into the main hall with a smile, and did not sit directly on the main seat, but sat on the seat before Li Li. smiled kindly and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, good daughter, have you waited for a long time?" ”
"The son-in-law (daughter) has met the father-in-law (father)." After bowing and saluting, Li Li and Dong Wan sat down beside Dong Zhuo.
As soon as they took their seats, Li Li and Dong Wan smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Dong Zhuo's body, but he was not drunk, and his expression was not much different from usual. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's alcohol consumption is very good, and with such a strong alcohol smell, he actually has no face at all. Unlike ordinary people, who blush and have a thick neck after a little bit of alcohol, they look drunk.
In surprise, Li Li said with a smile: "Thank you father-in-law for your care, my son-in-law and Wan'er have already eaten." This time, the two of us have made a special trip to visit you, and I don't want to disturb you in handling political affairs. Thank you for your understanding. ”
"Wenchang, you don't have to be so polite in my house. A little bit of government affairs. Be not worth mentioning. You can come to visit your father, and this filial piety is more important than anything else. Hehehe! Dong Zhuo said.
Dong Wan got up and walked behind Dong Zhuo, gently kneaded his shoulders, and said with concern: "Father is in good health these days?" Your daughter is always thinking about your body, so you have to take care of yourself. ”
Dong Zhuo closed his eyes very warmly, and his face was kind. His expression was very kind, and he said softly: "Wan'er, you are now Wenchang's wife, don't worry about being a father." There are hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs around him at all times. If your body is fine, you can rest assured! Hehehe??????"
"Father, which minister's mansion did you go to drink just now? Is it Situ Wang Yun's house? My daughter also heard that you are going to welcome Wang Yun's daughter Diao Chan into the palace as a concubine, is this really the case? Dong Wan asked softly.
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Dong Wan in surprise, and asked, "Wan'er, do you know about this?" ”
"The decree has been issued, how can my daughter not know?" Dong Wan looked at Dong Zhuo with concern and said.
Dong Zhuo's eyes fluttered, he turned his head to avoid Dong Wan's watery and concerned eyes, and said insincerely: "This is indeed the case." Just now, in order to thank his father for his kindness, Wang Yun specially set up a banquet to entertain his father. However, my father heard that you and Wenchang came to see me and were waiting at the house, so my father rushed back immediately. ”
As the saying goes, a knowing daughter is a father, and vice versa.
Dong Wan saw her father Dong Zhuo's eyes dodging, and knew that what Li Li had told her earlier was true. Father Dong Zhuo pretended to be a concubine of the Son of Heaven to recruit Wang Yun's daughter Diao Chan into the palace, and then he was very likely to take Diao Chan into the inner mansion as a concubine.
As soon as she thought of this, Dong Wan was anxious and asked urgently: "Father, do you know that Diao Chan was originally Lu Bu's unmarried wife, and it is said that she is scheduled to marry on March 9?" ”
"Well, the Father knows about it. But this time it's the Son of Heaven who is a concubine, and there is nothing he can do for his father! Besides, Feng Xian has already married a wife, and his daughters are seven or eight years old, so he can only be wronged this time, and he won't mind thinking about it. Dong Zhuo said as if he had something to do.
"Father, Lu Bu's daughter is only seven or eight years old this year, but your daughter is already married. But why do you still hide people's eyes and ears and forcibly take Diao Chan as a concubine? Dong Wan saw her father flickering and not telling the truth, she simply pointed out the essence of the matter.
"Presumptuous!" Dong Zhuo suddenly felt embarrassed, scolded Dong Wan angrily, and then said angrily: "Wan'er, marry your husband, you can accompany Wenchang well in the future, you don't have to worry about other things!" ”
"Please calm your anger. Wan'er is also thinking about your body, for fear that for the sake of a Diao Chan, she will destroy the father-son relationship between you and Brother Feng Xianyi. That's all, nothing else. Please also ask your father-in-law to know it. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was angry, Li Li hurriedly pulled Dong Wan behind him, and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile.
Listening to Li Li's persuasion, Dong Zhuo was annoyed, his expression was slightly shocked, and he frowned and was silent.
If this sentence came from Dong Wan's mouth, Dong Zhuo was afraid that he would be even more angry, because Dong Wan was his biological daughter. His daughter said that he was not a father, how could he not be angry? But the words that came from Li Li's mouth were different.
Although Li Li was his son-in-law of Dong Zhuo, Li Li himself was the main general with heavy troops, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a prince of Liangzhou independent of the Western Liang Army. The most important thing is that as soon as Li Li speaks, he points out the stakes, indicating that Diao Chan may cause discord between him Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and even turn against him.
It was precisely this sentence that Li Li said that touched Dong Zhuo a lot. In fact, Dong Zhuo also had this concern before.
In order to win Diao Chan's smile, Lu Bu did not hesitate to lead the army to fight head-on with the Wuwei army under Li Li. It can be seen that Lu Bu is very fond of Diao Chan. Love to the bone.
However, it is no coincidence that since Dong Zhuo saw Diao Chan, he didn't want to eat, and his mind was full of the dancing shadows of Diao Chan. It's just a dream, fascinated him, he doesn't see it for a day, like every other autumn, he wants to run to Situ's mansion every day, just hoping to see Diao Chan more.
Since then, the father and son have fallen in love with the same woman. What is the trade-off?
In this regard, Dong Zhuo already had a plan in his heart. He was going to give Lu Bu another official to the knighthood, crown Lu Bu as the general of the imperial court, and reward him with more gold, silver, jewelry and beauties, so that he could end the matter. Because Lu Bu prefers these things. is a typical snob, he Dong Zhuo used a hundred taels of gold and a red rabbit horse to surrender Lu Bu. So much so that Lu Bu personally cut off Ding Yuan's head as a gift for his audience. I think that Ding Yuan has the grace of reinvention to Lu Bu. promoted Lu Bu from the recklessness to the position of the chief secretary of the state army, and also accepted him as a righteous son. Even so, Lu Bu did not give up Ding Yuan easily, and did not hesitate to kill his father in order to gain a way to be promoted for the sake of fame and fortune.
In view of this, in Dong Zhuo's eyes. Lu Bu is a ruthless snob. As long as he is rewarded with a sufficiently prominent official position and gold and silver treasures, he can even give up Ding Yuan, his father-in-law, without hesitation, let alone a mere Diao Chan?
After thinking about it repeatedly, Dong Zhuo gradually felt relieved. He believes in his own vision and his ability to read people. I also firmly believe that I have an accurate judgment of Lu Bu's personality and preferences, and I will never make a mistake.
After being silent for a long time, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Li with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Wenchang, you and Wan'er came to the door tonight just to persuade our family to give up Diao Chan, right?" ”
Li Li looked at Dong Wan in surprise when he heard this, and then the couple shook their heads helplessly.
However, Li Li is not a person who gives up easily. I saw him say to Dong Zhuo respectfully: "Father-in-law Mingjian, this is indeed the case. Feng Xian and the Diao Chan have a marriage contract for a long time, and they are about to get married. At this time, the father-in-law suddenly recruited Diao Chan into the palace as a concubine, and the son-in-law was worried that Feng Xian would be annoyed and angry! Moreover, Feng Xian has indeed made great contributions before, and he has also played a role that cannot be ignored in his father-in-law's control of the world. This time, if it was just because of a Diao Chan that prompted him to hold a grudge against his father-in-law, with all due respect to the son-in-law's bold and outspoken words, the father-in-law was definitely not a wise move this time, and he might even be killed! ”
"Oh? What Wenchang means is that Feng Xian may harm our family because of this? Dong Zhuo frowned tightly and groaned.
Li Li said without hesitation: "Yes." Lu Buqi is self-assured, arrogant, forgetful, and capricious. In addition, his father-in-law had been so kind to him before that he was now in Jiuqing, and he even had the title of county marquis. Since then, my father-in-law wants to buy him from high-ranking officials, but I am afraid it will not be easy. Unless??????"
"Unless what? Wenchang said it quickly. Dong Zhuo asked eagerly.
"Unless the father-in-law hands over all the power of the world's soldiers and horses to Lu Bu, let him be the third prince and a very popular minister. Perhaps only in this way can he temporarily appease him and make him give up his desire to covet Diao Chan. However, this is an expedient measure, but An Lubu's momentary righteous indignation is difficult to eliminate the resentment in his heart after all, and the legacy is endless! Li Li said with a firm expression.
Dong Zhuo immediately asked in a deep voice: "Wenchang can have a way to do it once and for all?" ”
Li Li looked at Dong Zhuo in astonishment, but found that Dong Zhuo's expression was as calm as water, making it impossible to see his true thoughts at all.
Then Li Li said in a low voice: "The son-in-law has a way to do it once and for all. That is, to ask the father-in-law to give an order and let the son-in-law send troops to destroy Lu Bu. Others are afraid of him Lu Fengxian, but I, Li Li, am not afraid of him. Only the father-in-law can make up his mind, and within half a month, the son-in-law will definitely behead Lu Bu and eradicate the remnants of the state army. Since then, the father-in-law can naturally sit back and enjoy his old age with peace of mind. ”
"If Lu Bu is dead, I'm afraid that the person who is in charge of the world will be you Li Wenchang! We're right, right? Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, stared at Li Li, and said in a deep voice.
After Li Li heard this, his expression changed greatly, his sword eyebrows moved slightly in shock, and his tiger eyes looked at Dong Zhuo without fear, and he did not speak.
After two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at each other for a long time, Li Li whispered quietly: "Xiangguo is Li's father-in-law, no matter what, the son-in-law will not harm his father-in-law's life." ”
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he looked at Li Li with a complicated expression, and then looked at Dong Wan who was standing behind Li Li. Then he bowed his head slightly and said to Dong Wan: "Wan'er, you married a good man, no matter what happens in the future, you will follow your man with all your heart." You are born as His man, and you are His ghost in death! This is what the Father expects of you. In addition, a dowry has been prepared for you by your father, and the gift list has been sent, but the things have not been delivered to your man. Tomorrow I will send someone directly to the Dongyang Valley camp, originally it was 3,000 sets, but now I will add another 2,000 sets to you for my father, a total of 5,000 sets of armor and weapons of heavy cavalry. Li Li, take good care of Wan'er in the future, as long as you treat her well, it will be a reward for me for giving you heavy armor. In addition, before you made your fortune, the old man did not reward you with anything, nor did he help you with anything. So??????? You don't owe me. Life is too short to look ahead and look backwards? Go back, the old man is tired. ”
After speaking, Dong Zhuo got up and walked towards the side door of the main hall. His figure was still bloated, his back was slightly rickety, his steps were staggering, and he left the sight of Li Li and Dong Wan step by step. (To be continued)(To be continued......
