Three Kingdoms King of the North

Under the guidance of servants in the mansion, Li Su came to Dong Zhuo's resting room.Dong Zhuo, who was reclining on the couch, opened his eyes and waved at him after hearing the servant's report, motioning for him to leave.After the servant left, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes again and asked lazily, "Li Su, what edict from the emperor did you bring?"

Li Su hurriedly went forward to report and said: "Report to the grand master, the emperor is newly recovered from his illness, and wants to meet the martial arts in the Weiyang Hall, and it is proposed that Zen be located in the grand master, so there is this edict."

Hearing what Li Su said, Dong Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight and asked, "Is this really what the emperor's edict said?"

"Exactly!"

Dong Zhuo didn't expect that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would actually think of giving up the throne to himself, and he was very excited. He got up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, secretly digesting this amazing news.After a long time, when he calmed down a bit, he stopped and asked Li Su, "What is Wang Yun's intention?"

Li Su hurriedly said the answer he had prepared: "Wang Situ has ordered people to build a meditation platform, and we are only waiting for the arrival of the lord."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help saying triumphantly: "I dreamed of being surrounded by a dragon at night, and today I got such good news. The time is too late!" After speaking, he shouted to the outside: "Come here!" Follow him With a loud shout, a servant came in from the outside and stood at the door with his head bowed, waiting for Dong Zhuo's order.

Dong Zhuo pointed at him with his hand and said, "Go and call the four generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou here immediately. I have something important to tell them."

The four generals who received the notice did not dare to stay, and rushed to the prime minister's mansion in a panic.When they learned that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was going to give the Zen throne to Dong Zhuo, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to Dong Zhuo, saying: "I will see you, Your Majesty!" The appearance of calling: "I see Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "The generals are flat!" After several people stood up again, he ordered the four generals: "I will drive back to Beijing tomorrow, and the four of you will lead an army of [-] flying bears to stay at Meiwu .”

After hearing Dong Zhuo's order, Li Jue couldn't help frowning slightly, then took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, my minister Li Jue is willing to escort you back to Beijing!"

Seeing that Li Jue took the initiative to invite Ying, Li Su couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He knew that Li Jue could mobilize the soldiers and horses of the camp outside the city. Once he was allowed to follow Dong Zhuo back to the capital, unexpected changes might happen.Just as he was thinking hard about how to get Li Jue to stay, Dong Zhuo said, "Zhiran, it's enough for Li Su to accompany me back to the capital, you should stay and guard Meiwu with Zhang Ji and the others."

Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not agree to escort him back to the capital, Li Jue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to violate Dong Zhuo's one yuan, so he could only agree, and obediently stepped aside.

After Dong Zhuo let the four generals retire, he said to Li Su: "Li Su, since I entered Chang'an, I have never promoted you. I think you must have a lot of grievances in your heart. But you can relax. If you can ascend the throne and become the emperor, you should be the Zhijinwu."

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Su couldn't help having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, "The lord also knows that I have not been promoted for many years, and I have been wronged. I plan to compensate myself as soon as I ascend the throne, and let myself be the executive." Jinwu." Dong Zhuo thought Li Su didn't hear what he said, so he couldn't help asking in wonder: "Li Su, what are you thinking, didn't you hear me?"

Li Su hurriedly knelt down and thanked Dong Zhuo: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, you must be tired after working hard on the pommel horse all the way, so go down and rest first."

After Dong Zhuo waited for Li Su to leave, he wandered to the backyard and bid farewell to his mother.Dong's mother was over ninety years old, her eyes could not see for a long time, when she heard someone entering the door, she immediately recognized Dong Zhuo, and asked, "My son is here!"

Don't look at Dong Zhuo, everyone wants to eat his flesh outside, but at home, he is a dutiful son.Hearing Dong's mother's question, he quickly replied respectfully: "Mother, it is the child."

Dong's mother asked: "My son is not going to accompany your beauty Diaochan, why do you have time to come to mother's place?"

"Reporting to mother," Dong Zhuo replied, "I came to bid you farewell."

"Farewell?" Although Dong Zhuo often traveled between Chang'an and Meiwu, every time he left, he never came here to bid farewell, so Dong's mother asked strangely: "Where is my son going?"

Dong Zhuo replied: "My son will go to accept Han Zen, and my mother will be the queen mother sooner or later!"

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Dong's mother was not as ecstatic as he imagined, but sat there expressionlessly, as if she didn't hear what Dong Zhuo said at all.After a long time, Dong's mother said, "I've been trembling recently, and I'm afraid it's not a good omen."

But Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly after hearing this: "Mother will be the mother of the country, isn't there a surprise report!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo returned to the bedroom, Diao Chan greeted him.Seeing Dong Zhuo's face full of joy, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Looking at the grand master's happy face, could there be some happy event?"

"Beauty really has a clever plan." Dong Zhuo hugged Diao Chan in his arms, and told her all about going to the capital to receive Zen, and finally said proudly: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should make you a noble concubine." .”

After Diao Chan waited for Dong Zhuo to finish speaking, she couldn't help secretly rejoicing in her heart. She endured the humiliation for so long and finally waited for the day to kill Dong Zhuo.Hearing that Dong Zhuo wanted to make herself a noble concubine, she quickly bowed down and saluted: "My concubine, thank you Your Majesty!"

Dong Zhuo stayed in Diao Chan's house that night, perhaps because he thought that he was going to be emperor, Dong Zhuo's performance on the bed tonight was extremely brave, which was not the same as his usual three-second fast performance.

After dawn, Dong Zhuo left Diao Chan's room, boarded a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and headed for Chang'an with two thousand cavalry.

But after walking less than thirty li, suddenly there was a loud click, and the carriage Dong Zhuo was riding on suddenly tilted to one side.The soldiers on both sides rushed forward to check and found that the axle of the carriage was broken.After Dong Zhuo was helped out of the carriage by Li Su, he pointed to the trembling coachman beside him and said, "Back him and cut him off!"

"Grand Master, spare your life, spare your life!" When the driver heard that Dong Zhuo was going to kill him, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, hoping that Dong Zhuo would spare his life.But the last guard couldn't help but stepped forward, cut his hands behind his back, dragged him aside, and chopped off his head with one knife.

Dong Zhuo was worried that the axle would break again, so he ordered someone to find a horse, and walked with Li Su on the bridle.After traveling ten miles, Dong Zhuo's mount suddenly roared and neighed like crazy.In order not to fall off the horse, Dong Zhuo held on to the rein tightly, but unexpectedly the rein was broken due to the excessive force.

After others helped subdue the horse, Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning and asked Li Su beside him: "The wheel of the cart is broken, and the horse's bridle is broken. What are the signs?"

Fortunately, Li Su was quick-witted, and quickly replied: "Congratulations to the Grand Master, congratulations to the Grand Master. It is a sign that the Grand Master should accept the Shaohan Zen, abandon the old and replace it with the new, and will ride on the golden saddle on the jade chariot."

As soon as Li Su said a few flattering words, Dong Zhuo immediately turned his anger into joy: "What Li Su said is very true, but I am too worried."

The large group of people rested overnight at the posthouse on the way, and when they continued their journey the next day, a sudden gust of wind blew up and the sky was obscured by fog.Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo asked Li Su again: "What kind of auspicious is this?"

Li Su's eyes rolled, and he made up a new lie: "My lord's ascension to the dragon throne is a change of dynasty, and there must be red light and purple mist to strengthen the sky."

Dong Zhuo couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard these words, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.He confidently and boldly ordered the army to move forward, not knowing that he was walking towards death step by step.

In the afternoon of that day, Dong Zhuo and his party arrived outside Chang'an City.After following far away, Li Su saw hundreds of officials waiting on the side of the road, Li Su hurriedly said to Dong Zhuo: "Please look, Your Majesty, all the military officials in the court have come out to pick you up!" Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, and ordered The team stopped and urged the horse forward alone.

Wang Yun, who was standing in front of the team, saw Dong Zhuo coming, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: "Dong thief, you are dead." He hurriedly went up to Dong Zhuo, knelt down and saluted: "My minister, Wang Yun, see Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wang Yun's words came out of his mouth, many of the military officials standing behind changed their faces drastically, because not everyone knew the plan to kill Dong Zhuo.When several veteran ministers were about to come forward to reprimand Wang Yun, they were stopped by the people next to them.

And everything that happened in the queue was seen by Dong Zhuo who was sitting on horseback.He knew that those people were against him accepting Zen, and he was still thinking about it in his heart. After he ascended the throne, he would immediately kill all these ministers.But in front of his eyes, he got off his horse, helped up Wang Yun who was kneeling in front, and said with a smile: "Wang Situ's name is wrong. Your Majesty is in the palace, how come you came back outside the city?"

Wang Yun stood up, smiled and said to Dong Zhuo: "Sooner or later, the grand master will receive Han Zen. It is not wrong for the old minister to call him like this."

Dong Zhuo was thinking in his heart that if he would settle accounts with those ministers who were dissatisfied with him, he didn't care what Wang Yun was saying, but continued to ask: "Have all the ministers from the court come?"

"Return to the grand master," Wang Yun replied respectfully, "except for Li Ru and Li You, all the military officials in the court have come outside the city to welcome the grand master."

Although Li Ru was his son-in-law, Dong Zhuo still felt very uncomfortable that he didn't show up on such an important day today. He snorted and asked, "Why didn't he come?"

"It is said that he is sick at home," Wang Yun quickly explained to Dong Zhuo: "The old minister guesses that Li You is very ill, otherwise he would not fail to come out to greet the Grand Master when he returns to Beijing."

Chapter 184 The Death of Dong Zhuo

After entering Chang'an, as soon as Dong Zhuo returned to the prime minister's mansion, someone from the manor came to report: "Report to the Grand Master, General Wenhou is waiting outside!"

"You bastard," Dong Zhuo cursed as soon as the servant finished speaking, "Feng Xian is my son, if you want to see me, just come in, what report do you need? Why don't you let him in quickly! "

The servant was scolded for a while, but he didn't dare to answer back, so he could only agree modestly, left the meeting room, and went outside to invite Lu Bu in.

Lu Bu strode into the meeting hall, saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the couch in the middle, and Li Su stood aside, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Dong Zhuo, and said loudly: "My child, send your regards to foster father! "

"My son will be excused first!" Although there was an unpleasant incident with Lu Bu at the Fengyi Pavilion, Dong Zhuo had long since forgotten it after so long. He asked Lu Bu to get up with a smile, and asked: " During the period when I was not in the capital, is there any change?"

"Respond to the words of the righteous father." Lu Bu quickly replied in order to appease Dong Zhuo's heart: "Since the current emperor said that he is preparing for the Zen throne, although there are ministers in the court who object, but because of the righteous father's reputation, they dare not make any changes. .”

Dong Zhuo was more relieved when he heard that the capital was safe and sound.Looking at his tall and handsome adoptive son, and thinking about the charming Diaochan who stayed in Meiwu, he decided to give him some compensation so that he could continue to work for him, so he said, "Feng Xian, I will accept Han Zen in a short time. After I ascend the throne, I will let you be the governor of the world."

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was about to appoint him an official, Lu Bu hurriedly knelt down to thank him again: "Thank you foster father!"

Before Dong Zhuo left Meiwu, he tossed around in Diao Chan's house for one night, and drove the road for two days, feeling a little tired.Then he waved his hand at Lu Bu: "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, so please step back."

Seeing that Lu Bu was about to leave, Li Su also hurriedly bid farewell to Dong Zhuo.Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo said to Li Su: "On behalf of you, I will send Feng out of the mansion first, and then stay in the mansion. I can discuss with you at any time if I have anything to do."

Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, Li Su could only agree helplessly: "Your subordinates obey!"
