I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

"If you want to give this old man such a sudden attack, if you are unprepared, you might be caught by them... Bah bah, I'm not a turtle."

On the other side, Jia Xu looked at Li Ru, who had only been seen for a few days and had lost all integrity, and the corners of his mouth twitched, heartbroken: Brother Wen You, you have changed, you have changed too quickly...

What about my integrity as a think tank?

Bottom line?

What about dignity?

Still have to look at a certain house, proud and bony, even in Dong Ying, his heart is bright, and he flies freely... In the midst of self-confidence, he suddenly found that Old Dong had looked at himself with cold eyes.

"Fortunately, Mr. Dong planned the matter first and intercepted Zhu Jun's secret envoy in advance, killing this poisonous plan in his infancy. From this point of view, Mr. Dong is still superior!"

As soon as he spoke, he saw Li Ru looking over with gloating eyes.

But soon, the two stopped despising each other, but sighed silently: Sigh, what else can I do if I meet a lord who is volatile and eats himself to death?

On the contrary, Sima Yi, who didn't know Dong Zhuo very well, looked strange: "Dong Gong, since Zhu Gongwei has objected, why didn't he act first?"

Old Dong was not happy, and he looked at Sima Yi strangely and said, "Nephew, didn't you say that this old man values ​​the virtuous and talented, has great ambitions, is kind and generous?"

"How can someone as broad-minded, open-minded and kind-hearted as this old man do such cruel and shameless things as fighting without declaration and destroying his family?"

Sima Yi was startled. Although he was 11 years old, he was talented and intelligent, but he hadn't seen the hypocrisy of the adult world. He couldn't accept it for a while: You thief, you were just flattering back then, did you take it seriously?

However, Dong Zhuo was very serious, and said: "General Zhu is a rare and famous general in the Han Dynasty, with great military exploits and a great reputation, this must be a moment of obsession, and he was instigated by a treacherous villain."

"As an official in the same dynasty as him, we should help him to repent, abandon the dark and turn to the bright. We must learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, cure diseases and save talents, right?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Sima Yi with concern and said, "By the way, how is your father recently, do you still want to escape from the old man's clutches?"

Sima Yi's whole body was agitated, and he immediately retorted angrily: "What did uncle say!...My father was just in a hurry last time. After getting the Taiwei to speak up, he kept the Taiwei in his heart day and night, and he dared not forget it. Under the earnest teaching of the Taiwei, burn ointment and inherit the sundial to repay the Han Dynasty!"

When Li Ru and Jia Xu saw this, they immediately understood that the old Dong was discussing important matters, and he was going to call the 11-year-old boy: The young man is really good and has a future!

It's just that Old Dong wanted to subdue Zhu Jun... Isn't that the same as saying that a toad wants to eat swan meat?

Li Ru thought for a while, and spoke first: "Hasn't the Taiwei already gone to Zhang Boshen's mansion, Zhu Gongwei and Zhang Boshen are close friends, if not, let Zhang Boshen go to test it first..."

Before he finished speaking, he himself couldn't continue: Zhu Jun is ready to join hands with Huangfusong and Lu Zhi to chop off the head of Old Dong, and let Zhang Wen go to test the fart at this time!

Realizing this, he immediately changed his words: "Before that, I will first find out why Zhu Gongwei opposed the Taiwei. Only by clearing up the misunderstanding can there be a possibility of subduing him."

"Hmm..." Old Dong nodded, thinking it made sense, and then asked Li Ru, "Then why did Zhu Gongwei target this old man?"

"Uh..." Li Ru lowered his head and said depressedly, "The two secret envoys didn't know about it."

"I didn't know?" Jia Xu twirled his beard, frowned and pondered, "I didn't tell Huang Fu Yizhen and Lu Zi what they were doing, but they agreed to attack the Taiwei together. There can only be two explanations."

"One is that Zhu Gongwei is arrogant and reckless, and the other is that he is fully sure that when Huang Fuyizhen and Lu Zigan take action, he will tell the reason, and the two will definitely not object!"

As he spoke, he put his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes slightly and meditated: "And Zhu Gongwei hasn't made any changes recently. On the contrary, he hastily put on the list today, and he put up a list to recruit soldiers before the emperor replied, and immediately he couldn't wait to contact his old friends..."

"From this, it can be deduced that the Taiwei must have done something outrageous and resentful in the past two days, which made Zhu Gongwei furious when he found out about it, and that's why he hastily and recklessly wanted to deal with the Taiwei!"

After saying these words, Old Dong couldn't help but look at this 'ghost fox' with admiration, and said in a daze: "Wen He, you only analyzed these from some clues?"

"It's Wen You's reminder, and the subordinates just said it rashly." Jia Xu was very modest, and immediately changed the subject: "These are not the key points, the key point is what did the Taiwei do these past few days?"

"Old man..." Dong Zhuo scratched his head, not thinking what he was doing: asked the cook to bring the iron pot and studied the cooking while frying tea; went shopping in the three cities, doing field research on the reform of the commercial system; and I just went to the barracks for a couple of laps and chatted with Xu Rong and Er Zhang.

Anyway, just don't go to court, don't criticize affairs, and don't do business.

By the way, I also went to Bi Guiyuan for a real emperor-level enjoyment, um... and saw a dragon.

It's not Liu Bian, the real dragon emperor, but a one-stop service.

"The Taiwei actually went to the late emperor's Bi Guiyuan?" Jia Xu felt like he was going crazy, and he really didn't know what was going on in Dong Zhuo's mind: "Is that a place where foreign ministers can go?"

"Why, he, Zhu Jun, can still cause the old man to rebel because of this matter?"

Old Dong didn't show any remorse at all, and felt that this matter was impossible: In fact, the two things of abolishing the emperor and looting the imperial tomb were much more serious than going to Bi Guiyuan, and Zhu Jun didn't jump his feet. .

Could it be, what does technician No. [-] have to do with Zhu Jun?

Seeing this, Li Ru's nose was almost crooked: Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid! ... On the day of Bi Guiyuan, I went to Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He with poisonous wine!

Only when this story gets out, Zhu Jun will be filled with grief and indignation when he thinks you killed the former emperor and queen mother of the Han Dynasty, and will attack you regardless of the consequences!

It was only for this reason that he was sure that Huangfusong and Lu Zhi would also respond positively!

But he couldn't say this in front of Jia Xu and Sima Yi, he could only wink at Dong Zhuo desperately and make a gesture of drinking.

However, seeing that he kept raising his neck, Old Dong couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is Wen You thirsty? It's winter, remember to drink plenty of hot water."

"Come on, pour Wenyou a cup of hot water from 82."

Chapter 56 I Fight With You!

"Wine! It's wine!..." Li Ru was so angry that his head was smoking, and he tried to hint: "Taiwei, this subordinate wants to drink, do you understand drinking?"

"No, you want to drink hot water." Old Dong still stubbornly shook his head, looked at Li Ru with a cold face, and replied almost word by word.

Li Ru couldn't help but wanted to jump up, but when he saw the cold flames in Dong Zhuo's eyes, his whole body shuddered: How can I not know what's going on, I just pretended to be confused because I couldn't explain it clearly.

The poisoning of Liu Bian and Queen Mother He was obviously leaked at a certain point.

What I have to do is to investigate this!

So, he nodded knowingly: "The Taiwei is aware of the details, and the subordinates really want to drink hot water."

Jia Xu looked like an old monk sitting withered, as if he didn't hear anything.

The young and vigorous Sima Yi looked excited, watching the two of them talking nonsense, and vaguely guessed something: "Since uncle knows the misunderstanding with General Zhu, why don't you use your plan?"

"Huh?..." Old Dong looked at him with great interest, and said, "How do you know that the old man and Zhu Gongwei are just a misunderstanding, not an irresolvable enmity?"

"If there is enmity, Uncle and Langzhong Li will suddenly change their colors, and they will even immediately decide to act first. But just now, Uncle and Langzhong Li were calm, and there was a hint of rejoicing. It can be seen that it was just a misunderstanding."

"Well, not bad!" Dong Zhuo was amused at the time, and praised: "The observation is meticulous, and it has a bit of the skill of Jia Laohu."

"It's all thanks to uncle's suggestion." Sima Yi also responded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Old Dong beckoned for two guards and said, "Escort Mr. Sima back to the mansion, and tell Mr. Sima Jiang that I have passed the examination of what my nephew learned, and found that there is still a lot of room for improvement. Let him spend more time teaching."

"Well, first copy the book "The Doctrine of the Mean" fifty times, if you can't finish it, you will be beaten severely. If you can't cut jade, you can't make it, and if you can't make it, you can't make it..."

The smug smile on Sima Yi's face immediately froze, and he looked at Dong Zhuo in disbelief: "Uncle, uncle?..."

"Uncle is for your own good..." Old Dong interrupted with a smile.

Before Sima Yi could speak again, two guards respectfully invited him out.

When he walked to the door, the small eyes that turned his head back were not at all sharp and ruthless like eagles watching a wolf, but full of resentment.

Old Dong chuckled, and looked at Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu couldn't help but sighed sadly, and said: "Mr. Sima is a little conceited, but he doesn't know how to hide his clumsiness, but his intelligence is indeed extraordinary. According to my subordinates, if you want to subdue Zhu Gongwei, you must use the trick."

Li Ru couldn't help but speak, and said: "My subordinates also feel the same way, the only way is to make Zhu Gongwei hate the Taiwei further, to the point where he can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin."

"If the Taiwei resolves the misunderstanding, he can get rid of his inherent impression of the Taiwei, make him feel guilty, and then return to his service."

"Well..." Old Dong couldn't help nodding when he heard the words, and he agreed very much: If he had to go to clear up the misunderstanding with a good voice, at most, Old Zhu felt that he was okay and could get along.

When it comes to the effect of attachment, it will almost be too late.

On the contrary, it is better to make a big breakthrough and give him a ruthless mind, maybe it will have a great effect.

"Then how can we deepen Zhu Gongwei's misunderstanding of the old man, and then make him come to his senses?" Lifting his chin, he also began to think: "Have the two secret envoys been killed, or let them act as double agents for the old man?" Zhu released some fake news?"

Li Ru's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but he heard a burst of laughter from outside the hall.

Old Dong looked up and saw an old woman and a young girl surrounded by servants, who were about to go around the front hall and walk towards the backyard.The old woman was all smiles, she seemed to be in a good mood, and the little girl beside her was also jumping up and down.

He immediately got up to meet him, gave a salute and said, "Mum, why are you so happy today?"

"It's Zhongying..." Seeing Dong Zhuo, Dong's mother was obviously more happy, and said cheerfully: "I went to Zhu's mother's house again today, and chatted for a while."

"Father, Mother Zeng has been very happy these days."

The little girl on the side also spoke excitedly, chirping: "Mother Zeng said that there are many rules in other people's houses in Luoyang City, and she really doesn't look down on us."

"Only Zhu's mother's house didn't pay much attention to those things, and talked a lot of interesting things about shoe weaving and selling with Zeng's mother. The more they talked, the more they talked, and they were so happy from ear to ear."

"Mother Zhu?..." There are quite a few officials surnamed Zhu in Luoyang City, and Lao Dong couldn't figure out which one it was for a while.

"It's the mother of Henan Yin Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei." Dong Bai couldn't help answering again, "Aunt Zhu even gave Bai'er caramel to eat, it's so sweet."

Li Ru and Jia Xu, who followed quietly, looked at each other, and both felt that the world was just a coincidence.

But if you think about it carefully, most of the scholar-bureaucrats in Luoyang City are from families of Confucian classics, and none of them have a common language with Dong's mother.Only Zhu's mother, who also started from a poor family, has a similar experience to Dong's mother, so there are naturally endless topics to talk about.

Thinking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but speak first: "Taiwei, I heard that Zhu Gongwei is extremely filial..."

Jia Xu didn't hide his clumsiness anymore, and followed closely behind: "Plus, General Zhu is busy with official duties these days, so he will definitely neglect to honor his mother."

Old Dong understood in seconds, and said to his mother with a smile: "Mom, I have been visiting Mother Zhu's house these days, have you ever invited her to come to our house? It is necessary to reciprocate and reciprocate."

"Well, Zhongying has a heart, I really forgot to ask someone to come to our place." After speaking, Dong's mother turned around and wanted to send someone to order.

Old Dong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let the children do the little things for you. It's getting late today, how about tomorrow?"

"Well, Zhongying is filial." Dong's mother didn't feel any difference, and agreed with a smile, and left with Dong Bai and his party.

Li Ru and Jia Xu couldn't hold it back any longer, and the bad water in their stomachs gurgled out: "Taiwei, didn't you go to Zhu Gongweien's house where Wen advocated this morning?"

"And...well, there is also the matter of the wine, which should be arranged in advance."

"Yeah, old man understands, old man understands..."

Dong Bai, who hadn't gone far, turned his head curiously, seeing the three of them murmuring non-stop, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body: "Mother Zeng, why do you think Eldest Father is with those two..."

"how?"

"Laughing like a fox, look at Dafather's appearance, how creepy is his smile?"

Dong's mother looked back, only to see Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, and Li Ru smiling respectfully and sending them off.

Immediately looked at Dong Bai angrily, and said, "That's your uncle!...Besides, I think Wen You and Wen He are pretty good, how could they be some bad foxes?"

The immature Dong Bai saw the cunning and fickleness of adults for the first time, his face suddenly collapsed, and suddenly he didn't want to grow up.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhu Jun, who had been dealing with official business in the office for several days and came back only in the middle of the night, got up and washed, his brows were furrowed.With a gloomy look, it was obvious that something was on his mind.

However, he was full of majestic spirit, and he seemed to have made up his mind in the end, and the strong power could not help but come out through his body.

But when he passed by his mother's room, he couldn't help whispering in a low voice: "The child is not filial, and I will send my mother back to my hometown in Kuaiji..."

Pushing open the door with a sad face, intending to confess to her mother.

The house was empty.

At this moment, he was still not panicked, so he called the servant and asked, "Where did mother go early in the morning?"

"Return to Shijun, the old lady has gone to the Taiwei's mansion." The servant replied, and then said: "The guard who picked up the old lady said that the old lady will be safe in the Taiwei, so you don't have to worry."

"Dong thief!..." Zhu Jun's eyes were about to burst, and he slammed his sword and raged: "The two armies are fighting and you have not killed the envoy, yet you are so vicious and depraved, implicating the old man and mother in suffering!"

"Old man, I will fight with you today!"

Chapter 57

"Auntie, eating too much fried dough sticks will make you get tired. Try this Wensi tofu soup again." In the backyard of Taiwei's mansion, Old Dong carefully filled a bowl of soup and respectfully placed it on Zhu Jun's mother's desk.

Looking at the old Dong's rough face, Zhu's mother actually smiled kindly and boasted repeatedly: "Zhousha is old..."

Looking at Dong's mother again, he smiled and said, "Old sister, you have raised a good and filial son!"

When she came here early in the morning, she tasted deep-fried dough sticks, tofu nao, steamed dumplings, crab roe buns, egg and scallion pancakes, jujube walnut glutinous rice porridge, West Lake beef soup, wontons, pork stuffed buns, tea eggs, various side dishes and marinades The beans... I lived my whole life, and it was the first time in my life to eat such delicious food, and I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear.

"Uncle, what's the difference between this tofu soup and tofu nao'er?" On the other side, Cai Yan couldn't help asking while looking at Wensi's tofu soup, which was full of color and fragrance.

"You already know how to make tofu nao. For this soup, you need to remove the old skin of the tofu, cut it into thin strips, and then blanch it in water. Then shred mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast, ham, and lettuce."

"Then add shredded shiitake mushrooms to chicken clear soup and steam on the pot. After boiling, add shredded winter bamboo shoots, shredded chicken breasts, shredded ham, etc., and put them in a soup bowl. In addition, boil shredded tofu with clear chicken soup, and add salt. And pour it into a soup bowl."

Zhu's mother listened and watched, her eyes almost fell out: the white filaments in the soup, which were as thin as hair, turned out to be tofu!

What a lot of work it takes!
