Chapter Fifty-Seven: Li Dao
Ding Chen didn't recognize Wang Yun!
To be honest, when Wang Yun talked to him, he was a little confused.
When Cao Cao was in Luoyang, his friends were still relatively broad. Although his status is not high, he is close to Yuan Shao and others, so he is not bad.
It's just that Cao Cao has a wide range of friends, but Ding Chen has little contact with people.
Most of the time, he would rather bask in the sun at home, play with Cao Ang, or accompany his sister to go shopping and chat. In his opinion, Cao Cao's gatherings were extremely boring. What's the point of a group of big men getting together and talking? It's great to add some kabuki, but in Ding Chen's senses, it's a pure waste of his time.
Therefore, Cao Cao has a wide range of friends, but Ding Chen's eyes are black.
He was just about to ask Wang Yun, but Wang Yun had already turned around and left.
At this time, Jia Xu came over and whispered beside him: "Remind Bo Jiaogong that he has offended people." ”
"You think he doesn't know?"
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
Back then, he worked under Cai Yong, but he didn't know the temperament of his old boss.
In the past ten years, I have experienced so many tribulations, but not much has changed. Come to think of it, it really seems to be his character.
"Who was that guy just now?"
"You don't recognize the prince?"
"Who is the prince?"
Ding Chen was still confused.
"Situ Wang Yun seems to have a good relationship with your brother, and now he is quite trusted in front of the prime minister.
The prime minister lived in Weiyang Palace, and he also contributed to the trouble. This old man, with a good heart, you'd better not get too close to him. ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he left.
Ding Chen followed the team and looked at Wang Yun's back.
Is he Wang Yun?
The seven-star knife left by my brother was given by him?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Ding Chen faintly caught some clues.
Cao Cao said that he assassinated Dong Zhuo because he had no choice but to suffer. It's just that Ding Chen forgot to ask him at that time, who forced him to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
However, with the nature of the elder brother, there must be a follow-up in everything.
He assassinated Dong Zhuo and fled from Luoyang, but he left behind the seven-star knife, didn't he mean something?
When Ding Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but be clever.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, so he looked up and saw Lu Bu standing not far from him......
"I've seen Wen Hou."
"Ziyang, when did you come back?"
"I just came back with Cai Gong."
"Yes, I was invited to the banquet by the lord just when I came back, and it seems that the lord still values Ziyang very much."
"Oh......"
Ding Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.
Because from Lu Bu's tone, he heard a trace of strangeness.
The last time I saw Lu Bu, I was at the revolving gate.
After retreating from the Revolving Gate Pass, Lu Bu was ordered to stay in Gucheng, and after Dong Zhuo broke off, he no longer had any contact with Ding Chen.
But before that, Ding Chen felt that his relationship with Lu Bu had eased a lot.
The battle of Shilipu deepened the relationship between the two, although it was impossible to make friends, but when they got along, there was not much gap.
But now, he felt that there was a trace of alienation in Lu Bu's words.
In addition to estrangement, there is a faint hostility.
Ding Chen didn't understand what was going on, he thought about it and was about to answer, but saw that Lu Bu had already left with a smile.
What's the situation?
Ding Chen couldn't help frowning.
Why could Lu Bu be hostile to himself?
He began to regret that he should not have come to Chang'an.
After coming back this time, although it was only a short time, he could feel that what Jia Xu said to him at the gate of the city was treacherous!
Everything seemed to be weird, which made him a little confused.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the Bailiang platform, a banquet has been set up.
Don't look at Dong Zhuo's gray move from Luoyang to Chang'an, and don't look at the dilapidation of Chang'an, it is not as good as in the past, but on Bailiang Terrace, it is still brilliant and luxurious.
Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong to take a seat, but Cai Yong refused and sat down on the side.
"Today, I am very happy to see Cai Gong.
When he stepped down from the position of Hedong Taishou, he returned to Luoyang to report on his work.
At that time, I wanted to visit Cai Gong, but unfortunately Cai Gong left Luoyang...... This is often a pity. Being able to gather in Chang'an with Cai Gong today and gather on this Bailiang platform is a great joy in someone's life, and it should be a big white ...... Hahaha! ”
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and raised his glass to invite wine.
However, on this Bailiang platform, there are few people.
Many people just took a sip of their wine and put down their glasses.
Cai Yong didn't care about this, he had just offended everyone, and now he was respected by Dong Zhuo, how could others give him face?
He has long been downset about this kind of thing.
It's just that Cai Yong is pessimistic, but it doesn't mean that Dong Zhuo can ignore it.
He frowned with thick eyebrows, revealing a look of displeasure, "It is a great blessing to gather with all the princes in Bailiangtai today.
Now, the alliance of the Kwantung princes is falling apart, and the Son of Heaven has moved the capital, sitting in Guanzhong, and there is a danger of Hangu, which will become a big thing...... I invite you to drink today, but I also want to know with the lord. Zhuo no longer cares about the past. Now that all kinds of waste are being revived, and the revival of the Han family needs the help of all the princes. So, please be able to work with Zhuo after today. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's eyes froze, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Since you want to get drunk and rest, you need to have a wine supervisor." ”
His gaze swept to both sides, and all the generals were shy.
"Ziyang was in Hucheng Pavilion before, and he killed his relatives with righteousness and defeated Cao Cao three times.
Then under the city of Xingyang, Li Min was captured alive and 8,000 Yingchuan soldiers were defeated.
Shilipu, and Fengxian joined forces to defeat the rebels, and the merit was outstanding, and it was worthy of the name of 'the world's flying cheap'. By the way, Ziyang, before you set out on the expedition, a certain person once told you that if you beheaded the green ribbon, you would make a request, do you remember? ”
When Ding Chen heard this, his spirits immediately perked up, and his heart was even more happy.
Lao Dong is really a cheerful person, I didn't know how to remind him, but he brought it up first.
Ding Chen hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "This prime minister has made great strategizing, and the last general is just acting on orders, how can he be brilliant?" ”
"Hahaha, Ziyang said it very well.
It's just your credit, and no one can take it away...... So make your terms before the end of today's feast. Whatever you want, you can do it.
Ziyang, you must think about it. ”
Whether it is the generals of Liangzhou or the generals, including many old ministers, looking at Ding Chen's gaze, they have all changed.
You Dong Zhuo!
Isn't that pushing me to the cusp?
However, it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to stay in Chang'an for too long, if I offend, I will be offended!
Thinking of this, Ding Chen wanted to speak.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand to interrupt him, and said in a deep voice: "Today's wine supervisor is Ding Chen and Ding Ziyang. ”
And Lu Bu, who was sitting next to Dong Zhuo, suddenly changed his face when he heard this.
His face was darkened and he looked extremely ugly.
You must know that since Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, it seems that on this occasion, he is the wine supervisor. This is not a simple honor, but also represents Dong Zhuo's trust in him. But now, the wine supervisor has changed Ding Chen.
Lu Bu looked at Ding Chen's gaze, and immediately became a little cold.
This night's climax is really one after another...... After Ding Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Too much limelight!
Now, he also vaguely understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words.
Chang'an, now it's really complicated!
With the disintegration of the coalition forces, it also means that the external pressure and threats of Dong Zhuo's group have all disappeared. As a result, the forces of all parties in Chang'an City will compete, and everyone has their own little abacus, and the battle between them is becoming more and more intense.
And he, as an outsider who does not belong to any group, is so valued by Dong Zhuo, how can he not be jealous?
Ding Chen sighed, bowed down and said under Lu Bu's fire-breathing gaze: "The last general, obey the order!" ”
This time, I'm afraid I'm going to become a thorn in Lu Bu's side......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and under Dong Zhuo's frequent persuasion, everyone was very happy.
Ding Chen, as a wine supervisor, was unable to drink alcohol on such occasions.
So, he just sat on the sidelines, sword in hand, and smiled silently.
"Gong Cai, I'm here in Chang'an, and I've prepared a mansion."
"Ah, thank you Prime Minister for your kindness...... However, the old man already has a residence, so he doesn't bother with it. ”
"Oh? Cai Gong has already found a place to live? I don't know where? ”
"It's Jieshuipi, Ziyang's house."
Ding Chen, who had been on the side and was almost forgotten, once again became everyone's attention with Cai Yong's words.
And Dong Zhuo was quite interested: "It turns out that Ziyang and Cai Gong still have such a relationship? ”
"Ziyang is a kind person, quite chivalrous, and I am very happy.
And the old man came to Chang'an this time, and adopted more than 20 children on the way, if he lived in the city, he was afraid that it would be a little troublesome. When I went to Wuyuan, I passed by Jieshuipi and loved the scenery there. And now he is old, and he prefers a quiet place. In addition, there is Ziyang to take care of him there, so he made a decision on the way to Chang'an. ”
When Ding Chen heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
Can't you mention me if you don't mention it?
I'm already on the cusp of the storm, and if you praise me like this, won't you make me the target of public criticism?
However, after Cai Yong said this, there were some people present who looked at Ding Chen's gaze, and they also softened a lot.
"In this way, it is up to Cai Gong to like it."
Dong Zhuo didn't take this matter to heart, waved his hand, and agreed.
He stood up suddenly, raised the bronze jue, and said with a smile: "Before, Your Majesty summoned me to discuss things.
Indeed, it is a good thing...... King Hongnong has passed away, and Princess Hongnong is Miao Ling. His Majesty couldn't bear her to be alone in the empty boudoir, so he proposed that he want to marry Princess Hongnong. This time, Li Dao guarded Chang'an and served His Majesty with great merit, and His Majesty valued it. Therefore, His Majesty proposed that Li Dao ...... Li Dao, you old boy, but you got a big bargain. ”
When everyone here heard this, they all changed color.
And when Li Dao heard the news at first glance, he was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic.
Li Dao is a mixed Qiang and Han race, eight feet tall, and looks slightly thin, but he is indeed a general under Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, it was Li Dao who guarded Chang'an.
It can also be seen from this that Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to Li Dao.
This Li Dao is nearly forty years old and ugly.
Dong Zhuo's voice fell, Li Dao had already stood up, walked quickly in front of Dong Zhuo, and saluted: "The last general ......"
He wanted to say a few words of gratitude and gratitude, but before he could finish, a man rushed out.
"Prime Minister, and slow ...... The end will be opposed! ”
