Chang'an, Situ Wangyun's Mansion, in the back garden.
With the pavilion as the center, a radius of twenty feet is covered with light and dark sentries.
These dozens of guards who serve as sentinels are all good men carefully selected by Wang Yun from the army. They are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also loyal to the Han Dynasty. These people sincerely believe that the emperor is the son of God and has his own abilities. As long as he can control the government, he will be able to wipe out all the thieves in the universe and restore the dignity of the Han Dynasty, even if the emperor is only a frail eleven-year-old boy now!
However, today these strong guards could only stand twenty feet around the pavilion and could not take another step inside. There were four people poking around the pavilion, all with their hands on the hilts of their swords, looking around warily.
In the pavilion, a stunning woman was kneeling on the futon, holding up the sandalwood in her hand devoutly and praying in a low voice. A maid next to her held a small fan and shook it gently to swat away mosquitoes for her.
There was an old man in the pavilion. Seeing that Diao Chan, who was offering incense, had been ignoring him, he could not help but slowly frowned. He thought again and again and whispered: "Diao Chan, how can I, Wang Yun, be a deadbeat?! I have promised you many times before that as long as you continue to provoke Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to fight, I will be your moon god." I beg for the favor of the imperial court and let 'it' join the ranks of the imperial ministers!"
The woman continued to pray and paid no attention to Wang Yun. Even the maid looked at her nose and nose, as if she didn't hear anything.
Wang Yun suppressed his anger and continued: "Okay, Diao Chan. I admit that I have no intention of promoting your god as the righteous god, but you have to understand my plight. Your Moon Worshiping Sect was not legal before, so After being banned by Cao Cao, now I can come to worship and hold gatherings legitimately. I have done my best, so why do you have to embarrass me? Besides, no matter who you worship, it is not worship. Anyway, they all represent the moon!"
Diao Chan slowly inserted the sandalwood in her hand into the incense burner, pressed the corn around the sandalwood, bowed respectfully three times, and then said in a low voice: "Wang Situ, although I am a woman, I also know that the court will celebrate the spring equinox." , the Mid-Autumn Festival was founded by King Wenxuan and King Wucheng. Now I just ask you to add the shrine and statue of our Lord, why do you have to push back?! If you still have this attitude, then I might as well completely surrender to Dong Zhuo! If Let Dong Zhuo know your overt and covert activities, and if Fengxian understands your plot to use him, then"
Wang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Well, let's do this. Tomorrow I will order people to go to Shu and set up a temple for Taigong Shangfu, so that Marquis Zhang Liang can worship him. You will provide the candidates for the temple blessing. In addition, you can set up a shrine in the temple. Entrust the spiritual thrones of your past leaders to the ministers under the Taigong's tent and enshrine them there; as for the statue of the Taigong, it will be shaped by your hands. Even if you shape him into the image of your leader, I have no objection!"
Diao Chan smiled slightly: "Situ is jokingbut our leader is more handsome than Jiang Shang."
Wang Yun can be regarded as a famous minister, but as long as he is a man, he cannot resist Diao Chan's smile. He nodded subconsciously and almost agreed, but luckily he reacted and just smiled to himself and turned around to leave.
Seeing Wang Yun leave, the maid asked in a low voice: "Sister, I'm confused, why did you agree to Wang Yun's conditions? Dong Zhuo loves you very much now. If you mention it to him, maybe you can still Win on better terms!¡±
Diao Chan smiled softly and replied in a low voice: "Lingshan, you are still too naive. Although Dong Xiangguo had great power for a while, his foundation was unstable. Although he relied on his military power to suppress the ministers, he could not get the help of major aristocratic families, The recognition of the princes from all over the world. After leaving Hulao Pass, who else will listen to his words?! Even if he joins the Moon Worship Sect, there will not be much benefit in the long run!
Although Wang Yun does not have much power now, he has a huge reputation, and he has extraordinary influence on the emperor. Once he seizes the opportunity and completely controls the government, I believe that Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou will The rest of the world will definitely obey his orders, even if only on the surface! When the time comes, our Moon Worship Sect will be able to successfully cleanse ourselves, and when temples are built all over the Han Dynasty, we will be the greatest contributors to the Holy Religion! "
Looking at the bright-eyed Diao Chan, Lingshan sighed and asked in a low voice: "But, in this case, senior sister, you will have to continue to deal with Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo Are you happy?"
Diao Chan said with a smile: "My parents are both believers in the sect. The biggest wish of the two elders during their lifetimes was to see our Moon Worship Sect flourish. And I was able to grow up safely and enter the palace, all because of the kindness of the sect. This kindness I am willing to spend my whole life repaying it!
¡°Besides, what does a kid like you know about happiness? ! What's more, Lu Bu is handsome and capable in martial arts.?The type I like, how can ordinary women be so lucky? ! ¡
"However, we cannot place all our hopes on Wang Yun. We must have the ability to protect ourselves to prevent him from turning his back and showing no mercy." There is a shortage of food in Chang'an now, but there are plenty of people. You can go shopping on the streets tomorrow and recruit some strong men. It is best to guide them to join the religion secretly! "
Lingshan nodded, followed Diao Chan to worship, and then left the pavilion.
However, Diao Chan did not walk away with her, but gently wiped the moist corners of her eyes and prayed silently: "Moon God, for the sake of our pious worship, I hope you will bless Lingshan so that she can Find your ideal husband smoothly, don't be as frustrated and unable to control yourself as we are!"
A few days later, just as Diao Chan planned, Dong Zhuo accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Bu's hand reaching towards Diao Chan. The furious Dong Zhuo pulled out his halberd and threw it at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu has good martial arts skills and is agile. Even so, he was almost stabbed by the halberd. Lu Bu, who had a look of horror on his face, was stunned by the menacing Dong Zhuo and fled in panic.
One day later, under the persuasion of the maid sent by Diao Chan, Lu Bu endured the humiliation, pretended to be pleasant, and apologized to Dong Zhuo.
In order to continue to win over the Bingzhou Army and for the sake of Lu Bu, a brave general, Dong Zhuo accepted his apology, but he no longer allowed Lu Bu to enter the central gate. The relationship between the two seems to have eased, but it will never go back to the past.
On April 10th, Lu Bu came to Wang Yun's house. Drunk, he expressed his longing for Diao Chan, his fear of Dong Zhuo's anger, and even his anger towards Dong Zhuo.
Seeing that the time had come, Wang Yun told everything about his plans to kill Dong Zhuo and asked Lu Bu for help.
Lu Bu couldn't help but frown and said hesitantly: "Dong Zhuo treats me pretty well on weekdays, and we have a father-son relationship"
Wang Yun laughed loudly and suddenly said sternly: "General, wake up! In the past, Dong Zhuo kept you by his side and asked you to break away from the Bingzhou Army. Although you have a distinguished status, you have no military power and are just a thug! Now Dong Zhuo has treated you If you are suspicious, wait until he completely swallows up the Bingzhou Army, and that will be the day you die!
What¡¯s more, the general¡¯s own surname is Lu, and he is not closely related to Dong Zhuo! Fengxian, how can there be a father who throws a halberd at his son? If you are indecisive, you will never see Diao Chan again! "
Lu Bu frowned, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp!
Wang Yun knew there was a way and quickly said: "Your Majesty admires Fengxian's prowess very much. He also said a few days ago: If Fengxian is willing to serve the Han Dynasty, your Majesty will not hesitate to reward him with a marquis. I also heard that General Fenwei is vacant ¡¡±
Lu Bu saluted solemnly: "The last general is willing to follow you, kill Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty!"
On April 14, Shi Huan quietly led dozens of dead soldiers to Wang Yun's mansion and once again asked Wang Yun to release Cao Cao.
Wang Yun still refused. In his opinion, with Lu Bu as an internal agent, he should be very confident in assassinating Dong Zhuo this time. If I release Cao Cao now and let the loyal Cao Cao make meritorious deeds in the process of assassinating Dong Zhuo, then Cao Cao will rise strongly in the court in the future! When the time comes, Cao Cao will have friends (Yuan Shao and others) outside to help him, and Cao Ang and others inside will fully support him. How can he, a Situ, monopolize the government? You know, I, Wang Yun, am not greedy for power, but I want to regain the power of the Han Dynasty through my own efforts!
So Wang Yun persuaded in a low voice: "General Shi must not be impatient. It is the darkest time before dawn, and Brother Meng De is a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side. Once Meng De is released, Dong Zhuo will notice Abnormal, then we will live or die!
General Shi can rest assured that as long as Dong Zhuo is killed, I promise to release Meng De immediately. Not only will his official position be restored to his original position, but he will also be given the title of the third division of the government!
"I heard that Zixiu was attacked by Yellow Turban bandits not long ago. His troops lost consecutive battles and their morale was low. Let's do this. After Dong Zhuo is killed, I will go to the eunuch in person and your majesty will officially appoint Cao Ang as the governor of Yanzhou! what do you think? "
Wang Yun, who held the high position of Situ, even explained to himself in a low voice, Shi Huan was too embarrassed to refute openly, so he could only stay in Wang Yun's mansion with peace of mind.
On April 19, Lu Bu secretly summoned more than a dozen of his subordinates, including Qin Yi and Chen Wei, to form a blood alliance and agreed to share joys and sorrows, life and death together. With the assistance of Wang Yun, Shi Sunrui and others, Qin Yi and others, who put on guard uniforms, sneaked into the palace quietly.
On April 20, Emperor Liu Xie fell ill and announced his resignation from the court for several days. There were rumors in the market that Dong Zhuo had poisoned the emperor. The innocent Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered people to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors and kill those who spread the rumors and proverbs without mercy.
On April 22nd, Pushe Gongsun Duan finally seized the opportunity, stole a blank edict, and secretly wrote on it the sentence to kill Dong Zhuo.After giving the order, he handed it over to Lu Bu.
On April 23, the emperor recovered from his illness and ordered an audience with all civil and military officials in Weiyang Hall to celebrate. Dong Zhuo decided to go to the palace to celebrate in person in order to dispel the previous rumors of poisoning.
For the sake of safety, he had gathered enough soldiers and horses this time, and placed many warning soldiers along the way. In order to guard against cold arrows, Dong Zhuo also specially rode in a carriage with iron plates inserted, taking the precautions to the extreme!
The journey was uneventful, and soon Beiyemen arrived!
