Chapter 268: Fermentation

The news that Dong Zhuo led his army to besiege Xiyuan spread throughout Luoyang City.

When Wang Yun learned the news, he was relieved. Something went wrong with the plan, but the result didn't change. Dong Zhuo did fight with Lu Yao. All that remains is to wait until both sides are defeated, and then come forward to clean up the mess.

So he sat in Situ's mansion and ordered someone to go to find out the news. But in the end, what he was waiting for was Dong Zhuo's retreat, and the unfavorable news that there was no war in Xiyuan made him feel like he had been poured cold water on his head, and the whole person was stunned.

Dong Zhuo's defeat is not the point, the focus is on Jia Xu's cold sentence.

Confucianism is about orthodoxy. In this period when the jade seal of the country still existed, Emperor Xian did not inherit the jade seal of the country to ascend the throne, and there was a great deal of criticism in the civil official group. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's strong deterrence, Emperor Xian would not have sat on the dragon chair.

But now the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, who have been missing for a long time, seem to have clues, and for a while, there is an undercurrent in Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo became the ruler of Luoyang, Wen relied on Emperor Xian, the reasonable orthodox son of heaven, and Wu relied on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who looked down on the world. And now the throne of Emperor Xian is unstable due to the reappearance of Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor. Lu Yao almost completely suppressed Dong Zhuo in terms of force.

The left and right arms are gone, and everyone has their own thoughts.

"Could it be that he knows the whereabouts of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven?" Wang Yun finally digested the news, and walked around the mansion in an irritable mood.

This is a big event, and it is more important than the significance of Dong Zhuo's occupation of Luoyang.

Finding the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor is equivalent to finding the jade seal of the country. With the heirloom jade seal in hand, the young emperor deserves to be the orthodoxy of the Han family. Emperor Xian is just a pseudo-king.

"Someone." The more Wang Yun thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a car to go to the West Garden to find out.

Not long after, the car stopped outside the West Garden. As soon as Wang Yun stepped out of the car, he heard a greeting from behind him.

"Situ stays." Cai Yong came panting.

"Brother Bo is here for the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother?" Wang Yun's heart moved, and he stepped forward with a pleasant face.

Unlike him who took the initiative to send his daughter, Lu Yao announced in public that he would marry Cai Yan, which shows that Cai Yan's status in Lu Yao's heart is far more important than Diao Chan. Duo Cai Yong, a heavyweight father-in-law, is easier to find out the actual news from Lu Yao's mouth.

"Exactly." Cai Yong is a literati after all, he was in a hurry, he was panting, and he almost lost his breath when he came out of the two words, and it took him a while to recover.

"Brother Uncle, please." Wang Yun took the initiative to lower his body and walked into the West Garden side by side with Cai Yong.

Lu Yao got the report from the school, and came out to greet him in person, and said with a smile from afar: "The West Garden is in disrepair, please bear with me." ”

Cai Yong is upright, no matter how Lu Yao is now a hegemon in Luoyang, and his power is not inferior to Dong Zhuo, he asked: "Do you know the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother?" ”

Lu Yao's smile stiffened slightly.

He has always coveted Cai Yong, a great writer, and it doesn't hurt to tell Cai Yong frankly. It's just that Wang Yun is next to him, so it's worth considering.

"The two adults are invited to come in first, and then it's not too late to talk." Jia Xu, who came out closely, smiled and gave Lu Yao the embarrassment.

Cai Yong couldn't, and walked into the big tent quickly. Wang Yun was cunning and cunning, knowing that he was not popular with Lu Yao, so he simply pretended not to know and followed in.

The host and guest are seated.

Without waiting for the greetings, Cai Yong couldn't wait to continue to ask: "Do you know the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother?" ”

Wang Yun was silent and secretly pricked up his ears. This is the most important purpose of this visit. In order to achieve this purpose, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want this old face.

"It's not a secret, my lord doesn't know the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother." Jia Xu smiled and denied it.

Cai Yong suddenly looked disappointed.

Wang Yun saw that Cai Yong, an honest man, was silent, and hurriedly spoke up: "This matter is related to the safety of Jiangshan Sheji, and I ask Master Hou not to hide it." ”

"What Mr. Wenhe said is true, Benhou really doesn't know the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother. If you know, how can the Marquis allow the Emperor and the Queen Mother to live among the people. "Lu Yao, as a modern person, comes with lies.

Wang Yun was speechless.

Although he vaguely felt that Lu Yao was deliberately concealing it, there was no way for people to deny it. After all, Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor are a good card, and if they are used well, they are enough to deter Xiaoxiao and stabilize the Han dynasty. As long as he came forward and raised his arms, Dong Zhuo could be wiped out in an instant. This is the energy of orthodoxy.

However, this card is not in his hand.

"Wang Situ, you still owe Ben Hou an explanation."

Wang Yunzheng secretly regretted that he heard Lu Yao's voice coldly. When he looked up, he saw Lu Yao looking straight at him with a sneer, he shuddered and said with a dry smile: "Master Hou said he was laughing." ”

"Diao Chan is not Situ's daughter." Lu Yao sneered.

"The old man was wronged. Diao Chan is an old husband and daughter. The old man has always regarded it as his own. If it weren't for the little girl's admiration for Hou Ye, how could the old man be so eager to give it to Hou Ye. Wang Yun deserved to be an old fox, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly stumbled and was wronged.

"Someone, send off." Lu Yao snorted coldly.

The words fell, and the vulture led the little colonel in. When Wang Yun saw this monster that had the upper hand on Lu Bu, he trembled on the spot, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye and leave.

Cai Yong failed to get the whereabouts of Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor from Lu Yao, and he was depressed and followed Wang Yun to leave, not wanting to suddenly hear Lu Yao stop him behind him.

"Doesn't Uncle Yue want to see Zhao Ji?"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, turned around and arched his hand: "Zhao Ji has won the favor of the Hou Ye, and the old man is also relieved." I only hope that Hou Ye will treat Zhao Ji well. ”

"Zhaoji......" Lu Yao still wanted to persuade again, but suddenly saw Jia Xu look at him without a trace, and immediately swallowed the second half of his words and fell silent.

"Farewell." Cai Yong only acquiesced to Lu Yao and said goodbye.

……

Rumors spread in Luoyang City.

Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor have been missing for a long time, and they have lost their popularity. The whole city of Luoyang gradually accepted the dedication of the emperor and ascended the throne as the emperor without the jade seal of the country. Orthodoxy is important, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and patience will pass.

But now because of Jia Xu's words, it has begun to be rumored inside and outside Luoyang City that Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor were plotted by traitors, escaped from the palace by luck, and are secretly calling loyal ministers and righteous people to regain the throne.

The rumors intensified, making Dong Zhuo anxious.

Emperor Xian's throne is not guaranteed, and the legitimacy of his arrogance and arrogance in the court lacks the backbone. And that's not that important. What matters is the whereabouts of Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor. Once the princes from all over the country raised troops in the name of Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor, the name of righteousness was located, and the Xiliang army would not be able to resist it at all.

"Wenyou, now that rumors are spreading, what should I do?" Dong Zhuo was so anxious that he couldn't do it.

"Dong Gong panicked." Li Ru smiled reluctantly, and after a moment of silence, his long narrow eyes flashed: "In this case, it is better to let the emperor and the queen mother die." ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned, and immediately overjoyed, and praised repeatedly: "Clever plan, wonderful plan." ”

A few days later, the people in Luoyang City suddenly heard a shocking news. The bodies of Empress Dowager He and Emperor Shao were found in a dry well outside the city, and they will be returned to Beijing for burial with the gift of the Son of Heaven in the near future.

For a time, the entire Luoyang City mourned.

When Lu Yao and Jia Xu heard the news, they looked at each other and smiled. It's stable.
