63. You must know that there is never anything sacred in an empire

Li Ru's departure made Wang Yun very happy, after all, he had been thinking about how to break up the "golden partner" of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to cut off his arm and break Li Ru apart.

What's even more incredible is that almost all of the generals in Dong Zhuo's army were sent to the Quartet away from Chang'an, and what remained in Chang'an was just a group of hairy boys from Xiliang.

Even within the three auxiliaries, only a few generals from Bingzhou were left in charge, and they had been faintly excluded and suppressed by the Xiliang people since they came to Chang'an. Especially in the previous wave of displaced people, the area they deployed happened to be infiltrated by the fine work sent by Li Shushi, and a large number of displaced people entered the territory of Shuozhou from there, making these people the best scapegoats for this incident, it is difficult to say whether their hearts were full of complaints after being reprimanded by Dong Zhuo.

It seems that God is favoring those Han courtiers, and good news appears one after another: the relationship between Liu Yan and Zhang Lu in Yizhou was originally somewhat broken because of Dong Zhuo's army pressure and quickly bridged, relying on Xiongguan and the mountains, even if the Xiliang cavalry was able to shuttle freely between the mountains, it was quite helpless in such a complex terrain.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou captured Wancheng, an important town in Nanyang, before Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Ji, who was a step late, had to confront Liu Biaojun along the Hanshui River, and in the face of the tough Liu Biaojun, Zhang Ji seemed to be in a dilemma. He even believed that if he hadn't won the support of the barbarian tribes in the mountains of Jingyi Junction. I'm afraid that Liu Biaojun doesn't mind unifying the entire Jingzhou in one go.

It can be said that after the war with Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao now has enough confidence to resist Dong Zhuo's anger, and the displaced people who have been taking refuge in Jingzhou from the north to the south since the Yellow Turban Rebellion have brought to Jingzhou what they continue to do - population, wealth, and various technologies.

At the same time, fighting with two strong figures in the clan surnamed Liu, even the Xiliang army would not feel easy.

Not to mention the news from Longxi, the people of Dong Zhuo's group felt a little chill - those Qiang people who had been separated for a long time because of Dong Zhuo's appearance seemed to be a little unstable, and although the "rebels" who united some of the Di tribes in the south who were expelled from Yizhou by Liu Yan were not invited, none of the news that was constantly revealed could make people settle down.

So many things were smashed one after another, even Dong Zhuo looked a little anxious, after all, there was no such a profitable and reliable helper as Li Ru, and only those young people who were not experienced enough. Obviously, it was impossible to suppress the Chang'an civil official group's disobedience to Dong Zhuo's orders.

But the Xiliang people, who have become accustomed to the work efficiency of the civil and official group, can't play such a huge bureaucratic system without those people.

Under the scorched head. Dong Zhuo's supervision of the ministers of the DPRK and China has also dropped helplessly, I don't know how many grades.

So it's no wonder that in the secret gathering of officials, Wang Yun shouted "Kill Dong thief in this dynasty".

Perhaps he was stunned by this series of unexpected surprises.

Or maybe he couldn't bear to let go of what seemed to him a great opportunity.

Although Lu Zhi felt a little uneasy, the courtiers who had long been unable to hold back still chose that adventurous path.

Even if it was a road of no return that only allowed success and could not fail, they stepped on it without hesitation.

Is it for the sake of his own family or for the continuation of Han Zuo. Maybe they don't even understand it in their own hearts.

After all, a dynasty that lasted almost four hundred years. There will always be some indelible marks left on the body of a generation.

It's just like time is the most terrifying weapon in the world. Space is the most invincible armor in the world, and those marks will eventually be washed away, so thoroughly that even if humans thousands of years later want to pick up those marks again, they are now either completely weathered into powder or have changed their taste to the point where they can't distinguish the taste they had before.

Thereupon. Clever people will put the residues and fresh materials back to the furnace and refine, and then put up old signs, so that the vassal and elegant people can hang the traces of the past under the ancient scenery.

And Dong Zhuo, who was supposed to be the center of the eye of the storm, stood on the bank of the Weishui River with such a mood at this time, not knowing what to think in his heart. The figure that was still tall but had become a little bloated made it hard to believe that this man was the craziest devil on the battlefield before, even if the breath coming from him was still full of blood.

Is this a state of mind that every villain Boss has to face?

Dong Zhuo didn't know, and he didn't bother to know, even if his current state seemed to be thinking about the philosophy β™‚ of life under his subordinates.

"Is Your Majesty feeling better now?"

"Lord Hui, according to the information obtained by his subordinates, His Majesty's body is no longer harmed. However, His Majesty's close attendant declared to his subordinates that His Majesty was still feeling unwell and was unwilling to go to court and deal with government affairs. ”

"So is there anything else Your Majesty is doing?"

"Everyone stays in their own dormitory, and their routines are no different from the past. It's just that in recent days, Chun Yu Sikong, Yang Taichang, Shisun Shangshu and others have been asked to donate ancient books, and every time they get new ancient books, they always can't let go of the scrolls, and even sometimes slap their palms and laugh, and then they also correct and smear the ancient books and order people to re-give the ancient books to the ministers. His subordinates had browsed the ancient books that had been corrected one by one, but there was nothing unusual about them. ”

Maybe Dong Zhuo did relax the monitoring of the ministers, maybe in the eyes of most people, the little emperor in the palace of Chang'an City was just a milky puppet, but Dong Zhuo knew very well that if those ministers really made any changes, then even if it was the nominal emperor, they would not be able to bypass it.

This is the great role of jurisprudence and legitimacy.

Especially being able to follow all the way from Luoyang to the present, it proves that these ministers of the court still have a considerable degree of recognition with Liu Xie, after all, today when Liu Wei has been killed. The blood of the first emperor Liu Hong is only Liu Xie's only seedling.

It is this bloodline inheritance that makes those clans who have no choice but to choose a more dangerous path.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who has grasped the joint of the whole thing, no longer has to spend as much manpower and material resources as before.

It's just that......

"Watch your attitude, soldier. You are talking about the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is still the supreme existence of this country, not something that you can criticize at will with a few hundred people, remember! ”

"Your subordinates will remember your teachings."

Facing Dong Zhuo in front of him, the subordinate who was beaten for no reason did not show the slightest dissatisfaction and resentment, and the person in front of him was not just his personal idol. is also the "god" of the entire Xiliang Army. Such a salient reprimand, whether he is wrong or not, put himself in the wrong position first.

He hadn't refuted Dong Zhuo's status and ability yet.

"Let's go, go back to Chang'an. It's time for me to go and say hello to Your Majesty. ”

Hear this. The subordinate who had just bowed his head and admitted his mistake couldn't help but have a slight smile on his face. Obviously, in his opinion, although Dong Zhuo reprimanded himself just now, he still believed his judgment after all, maybe he had left a deep impression in Dong Zhuo's mind?

At least after feeling all kinds of envious glances coming from all around. He was so convinced.

Whether this is the case remains to be seen by time.

Anyway, Dong Zhuo, who was still educating his subordinates to respect the imperial power just now, was like an ancient beast with a bloody murderous aura all the way to the emperor's bedroom, not only scared the attendants recruited by the emperor himself to tremble on both sides of the corridor, even if there were occasionally one or two loyal fools, they were directly knocked away - I didn't see how much our Dong Feifei was in awe of the imperial power.

Or, as he said, a mere hundred people would naturally have no power to despise the nobility of imperial power, but as a prince with a different surname who held great power, Dong Zhuo did not have to accept those constraints to make this seemingly rebellious move.

"You all go out, how can King Qin be the one who will harm me."

It's just that in the face of Dong Zhuo, which is enough to scare most people, Liu Xie seemed to ignore the murderous aura coming from Dong Zhuo, gently put the ancient scroll in his hand on a few cases, and ordered his subordinates with a calm face, and at the same time personally picked up a set of tea sets from his side.

Boil water, sencha, wash the pot, and check the condiments that match your heart.

Because of Li Shushi, there are many kinds of tea ceremonies now, and there is no unified style, and it seems that each of them can get a lot of support.

Although Liu Xie's art of sencha is simple, it also needs to be condensed and meditated, with a sense of beauty that is suitable for movement and stillness.

"Please."

There was no difference in official position, no difference in status, no superiority in momentum, Liu Xie pushed the teacup containing milky white tea to Dong Zhuo with his steady hand.

"Thanks, great tea."

There was no doubt that there was any deadly toxin in the tea, and the original blood-like aura on his body also dissipated in the rising water vapor, and he gently pecked at the tea that was still churning, and Dong Zhuo's face showed a slight smile.

If the picture in front of you is fixed as a painting, can it be called "The Devil's Tiny"?

It seems that Liu Xie's actions set a certain tacit tone between the two, and neither of them said a word until a pot of tea was drunk.

Until the sun sets in the west, the stars dot the blue sky.

The room was shrouded in darkness - because of Dong Zhuo's storage and Liu Xie's orders, naturally there would be no dead attendants and palace people to come to light the candles, and Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers also guarded the door tightly but did not dare to take a step.

Today's moonlight, though not obscure, is not as bright as a full moon, and can only faintly illuminate the general outline of an object. In the room, which is extremely blocked from light, there is only one faint side.

In such an environment, Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie sat opposite each other, and between the two was a tea set that had already cooled.

"Your Majesty, you've grown up."

For a long time, the originally silent and dull atmosphere was broken by a sigh, and Dong Zhuo seemed to sigh like an old man.

If you don't look into his eyes, maybe it is.

However, those scarlet eyes radiated a red glow that people couldn't look at directly in the dark night, and the sharp edge that had been constricted when drinking tea once again came out of the body. At this time, Dong Zhuo had already turned into a peerless murder weapon, and the sharp blade was hovering above Liu Xie's head.

"Yes, I grew up, because of the teachings of Lord Xiangguo, I changed Xie from a child to what he is now."

"Do you regret it?"

"No, that's my responsibility, it's what my father wants to give me. Although I'm sorry for my brother to say this, I feel that I'm more suitable for this cruel era than my brother. It's just that the only regret for the association is that the ability of the association is still not strong enough. So I can't shelter my brother. That's all. ”

"Although these words are beautifully said. But in a certain opinion, Majesty is still a child. ”

"Maybe that's the case, whether it's Lord Xiangguo or those ministers, it's hard for me to be satisfied with what I want to pursue, and what I can give has very harsh conditions, so it's naturally not attractive to many people."

"So have you figured out how you should revitalize the glory of the Great Han?"

"Find a to help me achieve my dreams. And then kill that idiot, or be killed by that idiot's henchmen or sonβ€”that's probably the fate of my life. The world is so big, but there is no place where the Son of Heaven can stand. ”

"What? Are you going to give up? ”

"Nope. Even if the road ahead is despairing, I will not give up until the end. Because I was still the son of heaven of the Great Han, I promised my father to be an emperor who was better than him. And even if there is no church association or other things. But at least the spirit of not giving up and moving forward bravely in the face of difficulties is really experienced, and the rest will be left to the destiny of heaven. ”

"Do you believe in such a thing as the Mandate of Heaven?"

"I heard that Lord Xiangguo, who had resisted the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder when the revolving door was closed, naturally did not believe in such a thing as the Mandate of Heaven. But starting from Gaozu, a man who was killed by the overlord and lost his armor lived unharmed until victory, and then escaped unharmed under the siege of the Huns. Of course, this has the loyalty of his subordinates, the wisdom of his ministers, and the bravery of his generals, but even Lord Xiangguo can't deny that at the most critical moment, something called Yundao is dominating the results of mortal efforts. ”

"His Majesty's words made His Majesty feel very disappointed."

"So you decided to try it for yourself? After all, having been taught by you for so long, I can feel what it feels like you are being bound. ”

"You know, I envy Zhang Jiao, the traitor, who has the opportunity to put his ideas into practice. Although he failed in the end, he worked hard and was brilliant, and finally fell far from the throne of success, without regrets. And the qiΔ“ he brought is still impossible to ignore, such as Li Xue, who often gives everyone a headache. ”

"But he failed in the end, so he was destined to be a traitor, destined to be a villain."

"Even if I don't fail, I think I'll be a villain with the same reputation as Shangxuan."

"If you fail, you can be sure that it will."

"But you know what? Shang Emperor Xin was a great emperor. ”

"Just like you?"

"No, at least now I'm nowhere near him. The Dongyi people surrendered to the feet of that king, and this submission nearly doubled the territory of the Shang Dynasty. And more importantly, did you know? The great emperor intended to free his slaves, and he selected the talented ones to be groomed and eventually enriched under his ranks, and he expelled the nobles who had been given comfortable positions and fine food and clothing by birth, and gave them to those talented courtiers who obeyed his commands, even if they were once no more than the most lowly of slaves. ”

"In this way, Shang Xun is indeed a very bold person."

"Yes, the Shang monarch who laid the foundation for Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms was only to change the ancient customs of Qin, so that everyone had to work hard to obtain a status worthy of merit, and was attacked and even ruined by those filthy, stupid and despicable moths. That Emperor Xin is even more radical than Shang Jun, don't you already know what happened to him? ”

"But Daji is indeed a very bad woman, and the merchant who connived at her is indeed a tyrannical king."

"Petropolitan! There is no change that is not accompanied by bloodshed, and there is no change that can be solved by just saying two words of encouragement, a few edicts proclaimed, and a few feasts on the nobles who have lost their power. Only blood, only iron, only the most cruel iron and blood can stun them. Only when you are surrounded by people who have profited from the reform can you say that the reform has been a preliminary success, and as long as you give up the tyranny of iron and blood, then you will become a fool who has been subjected to tyranny! ”

"Is this what you want to do next? I don't think you're going to succeed. ”

"Maybe that's true, but Your Majesty shouldn't forget what she just said."

"Yes, I don't think Sangkoku-sama will succeed, but if Sangkoku-sama gives up his persistence, then it won't be the Sangko-sama I'm familiar with."

"Then, please prove it to the old minister, prove that His Majesty's idea is correct, prove that the old minister does not have the share of bearing this qiΔ“ fate, and prove that there is someone else who ends this troubled world."

"So the previous series of arrangements were all deliberately done by Lord Xiangguo?"

"That's not what Your Majesty should care about, but you should think about what you can do...... If Your Majesty loses, then please ask Your Majesty to see how I can end this troubled era and how to return the people of the world to a stronger empire! And I, Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, a barbarian from Lintao, Longxi, a border land, will become the supreme existence of that empire! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I will not lose, and because I thank you for teaching me during this time, I will not lose, and I swear by it! ”

Looking at the blurred back of Dong Zhuo's departure, Liu Xie's eyes began to fill with tears at some point.

Is it to grieve for the end of a master-apprentice relationship?

Is it pity for the end of an idealistic hero?

Or do you feel helpless and powerless because of the elusiveness that always plays with the fate of the world?
