The Beauty of the Tang Dynasty is Like a Cloud / the Story of the Evil King Among the Flowers of the

Cai Yan smiled shyly, "Don't dare to praise Diao Chan's sister. In front of Diao Chan's sister, which woman dares to call her beautiful?"

Diao Chan smiled and chatted with Cai Yan.Cai Yan is intelligent and has a heart, and is proficient in literary rhythms. Diao Chan is also proficient in both literature and martial arts.

After chatting in a low voice for a while, seeing that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was about to begin, Cai Yan stopped chatting and revealed her real intention of talking to Diaochan: "Sister Diaochan, I heard that you and Marquis Wen have a good relationship, so I wonder if after the ceremony, can you be a little girl?" Sister and Marquis Wen introduced?"

Diao Chan looked at Cai Yan with a half-smile: "Oh, you want to know Wen Hou? Could it be that sister Zhao Ji is a beauty who fell in love with a hero?"

The folk customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty were open, and even the women of the gentry did not have so many religious rules.Meeting a man he likes, taking the initiative to pursue him, and boldly confessing to him are common things, so Diao Chan just asked this question.

Cai Yan's pretty face was flushed, her eyes were shy, and she said angrily, "Sister Diao Chan, don't play tricks on my younger sister. My younger sister has already promised someone, and she will get married in the next year! My younger sister wants to see Marquis Wen this time, but she just wants to ask him." Just say thank you."

Her father, Cai Yong, had received Dong Zhuo's kindness and promoted Dong Zhuo one after another, but he was not in the same party as Dong Zhuo.After Dong Zhuo's death, at a banquet hosted by Wang Yun, when talking about Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong may have thought of Dong Zhuo's promotion, or perhaps the literati's habit, and unconsciously sighed a few times.

Unexpectedly, with just these few sighs, Wang Yun, who became more stubborn after gaining power, became furious, and insisted that Cai Yong was Dong Zhuo's party, he was sympathizing with Dong Zhuo, accused Cai Yong of being a traitor, and wanted to execute him.

Thanks to Dugu Ce's efforts to turn things around, Cai Yong escaped with his life - at that time Wang Yun still didn't dare not show Dugu Ce's face.

Therefore, Dugu Ce has saved Cai Yong's life, and as Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan does have reason to thank him in person.

Volume 641 of the first volume, trampling on authority [first update]

Speaking of Dugu Ce's life-saving grace to Cai Yong, Diao Chan was actually a little embarrassed.

After all, it was Diaochan's adoptive father Wang Yun who wanted to kill Cai Yong just because of a trivial matter.

Fortunately, Cai Yong was not dead after all, and the two sides did not form an unresolvable enmity, so a little embarrassment was quickly ignored by Diao Chan, who smiled and said to Cai Yan: "After the ceremony, I will take sister Zhaoji to See Fengxian."

Just as Cai Yan was about to thank him, he suddenly heard the sound of music and quickly kept silent.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has officially begun.

Amidst the solemn and solemn rites and music, the emperor Liu Xie, under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, walked up to the Circular Mound Altar step by step from Wu Majesty's Royal Road.

But today's focus is obviously not on the Son of Heaven offering sacrifices to heaven.

Although offering sacrifices to heaven is a great festival in the country, similar festivals are held every year, and it has become a routine, and there are no surprises, it is nothing more than a routine process.

Therefore, when the young son of heaven went up to the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven, many people looked serious but were absent-minded.I don't know how many people's eyes wandered, and they unconsciously cast their eyes on Dugu Ce under the altar.

The news that Marquis Wen wanted to preside over a new god in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had already been spread throughout Luoyang under the operation of Wang Yun.

Not to mention well-informed senior officials and nobles, even ordinary people have mostly heard about this matter.

To this, the senior officials and aristocrats had mixed reactions.

Many courtiers loyal to the royal family are secretly cursing Wen Hou's wolf ambition.A few people, such as Yang Biao, Huang Wan, etc., even secretly colluded with Wang Yun to plot big things.

But there are also many high-ranking officials and generals who expressed indifference to this, and there are even some who are happy to see it succeed-now the Kanto princes in the east are fighting endlessly, and the warlords in Yongliang in the west are divided, and the scene of troubled times has already appeared.So civil officials hope to have a strong leader to protect their power position.Military generals hope to follow an invincible commander, win military exploits, and seal their wives and children.

At this time when the signs of troubled times are beginning to appear, compared with the invincible Marquis Wen, the emperor who is only ten years old is really not reassuring.

As for the common people in Luoyang, there was generally no special reaction - the timing of Dugu's plan to kill Dong Zhuo was perfectly chosen. It was Dong Zhuo who ordered the forced relocation of the capital, sent troops to plunder officials and wealthy households throughout the city, and spread rumors of burning the city. when.

At this critical juncture, Dugu Ce raised troops against Dong and killed Dong Zhuo. For the people of Luoyang, it was like holding the sky with one hand and saving them from dire straits.

Therefore, the prestige of Dugu Ce can be described by the four words "Rising Sun" in the minds of Luoyang people.

As for the majesty of the emperor... the current emperor, Liu Xie, was registered by Dong Zhuo, and because he was young, he did not have the opportunity to show kindness to the people.Therefore, the people of Luoyang generally have no feelings for the emperor.To be honest, the common people didn’t hate Wujiwu just because the Son of Heaven was established by Dong Zhuo. How could they be expected to support the Son of Heaven?

Therefore, regarding Wen Hou's attempt to overstep the rules, the situation that Wang Yun imagined, where both the court and the people condemned Wen Hou, did not appear.This made Wang Yun very angry, and he cursed several times for the collapse of etiquette and music, and the lack of people's hearts.

But no matter how angry he was, it was useless.

Because of the majesty of the royal family, in fact, as early as the time of the first emperor Liu Hong, he personally corrupted them to the ground.

The first emperor held a market in the palace, and let some of the maids and concubines pretend to be merchants, shouting and selling, and the other part to pretend to be guests.The first emperor himself also pretended to be a businessman, bargaining with people, having a great time.Does this still have a little majesty of the emperor?

The first emperor ordered all court ladies and concubines to wear open crotch trousers and nothing inside.The purpose, all men understand.

The first emperor also built a naked swimming pool, ordering the maids to take off their clothes and have fun.When he himself is in the mood, he will also participate in it...

There are many more dirty and despicable ways to play, even Dugu Ce, a prodigal son of flowers, was dumbfounded after hearing it.

The reputation of the royal family was tarnished little by little by the first emperor.Originally, after the death of the first emperor, many courtiers still thought that the new emperor would take the throne, and maybe it would be refreshed.Never thought that the emperor who was registered by the first emperor was actually abolished by Dong Zhuo, and the current Liu Xie was established as the emperor.

The authority of the royal family had been corrupted by the first emperor, and was abolished by the power minister Dong Zhuo. The so-called authority of the Son of Heaven is now depleted.If Dugu Ce stepped on his feet from time to time, then the authority of the emperor would really be trampled into the mud.

Therefore, neither could arouse unanimous opposition from the ruling and opposition parties, and use "public opinion" to coerce Dugu policy, Wang Yun had no choice but to take a desperate strategy.

He pinned all his hopes on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who pretended to be Zhi Jinwu and guarded the emperor's side.

As long as Dugu Ce really climbs to the highest level of the altar after the emperor sacrifices to heaven, and officiates the "Emperor of the West Pole, Chengtian Fighting War", Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three fierce generals, will make a surprise attack, and heaven will punish the country's thieves !

……

"On the day of Xinwei in November of the second year of Chuping, the emperor Xie dared to use Xuan Mu [Xuan Mu, black bull, dedicated to worshiping the heavens] to declare to the emperor God..."

The childish voice of Emperor Liu Xie resounded from the altar.Unknowingly, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has already reached the later stage.

Soon, the little emperor finished reading the sacrificial oration, and with the assistance of the ritual officer, offered sacrifices to the God of Heaven.

According to Li, at this time, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven should enter the final stage.

Wang Yun watched Dugu Ce nervously, to see if he would break the rules and take the altar at this time.

Diao Chan also stared at Dugu Ce closely, with a trace of worry unknowingly showing in her beautiful eyes.
