The World of Yellow Sky

Jia Xu walked out of the house, and the guards outside the courtyard had already prepared their horses, and they were waiting for Jia Xu to get on his horse and go to Luoyang.

Jia Xu didn't rush to get on his horse, but turned his head to look north, which was the direction of Bingzhou.

To the north is a lush forest, which is also the direction where Yan Zhong is.

With the breeze blowing, Jia Xu was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to the school when he was a child.

He sat in a corner of the school with his head down, only daring to look at Yan Zhong from the corner of his eye.

Holding a silk fan in his hand, Yan Zhong was calm and composed under the eyes of everyone.

At this time, Yan Zhong had already been famous for a long time. He was known as a celebrity in Liangzhou and was admired by all. However, he, Jia Xu, was just an unknown person with a low-level academic record.

"Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, where are you?"

Yan Zhong stood in the center of the school, among his teacher and the rest of his classmates, and asked neither humble nor overbearing.

In the noisy voices of the crowd, Yan Zhong finally found Jia Xu in the corner of the school.

Jia Xu clutched his robe nervously with both hands, he didn't know why Yan Zhong mentioned his name.

Yan Zhong smiled slightly, raised his silk fan, and pointed in his direction.

Then he looked around at the crowd and said loudly.

"This son is good and flat!"

The wind gradually became more urgent, and the scene in front of Jia Xu suddenly dissipated, and turned into a verdant forest again.

The original young man in his prime had already disappeared in the long river of time.

Jia Xu smiled and turned her head.

"Xu An..."

Jia Xu murmured in a low voice.

"I really want to know what kind of person you are, so that someone like Yan Gong can devote himself to it and help you wholeheartedly..."

Jia Xu got on the horse and lightly pulled the reins. The white horse under the seat neighed lowly, and carried Jia Xu away.

……

Dong Zhuo, who became the Prime Minister, became more and more rampant, and even stayed in the palace overnight.

Although the officials in the court were extremely upset, they were powerless to stop it.

Under the supervision of Xuan Tingwei, any courtier who dared to speak ill of Dong Zhuo would be arrested and imprisoned.

The censor Shi Chao Longzong forgot to remove his sword when he met Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the problem and ordered him to be beaten to death.

He also ordered people to kill Empress Dowager He's mother, Lord Wuyang, and even dug He Miao's body from the tomb, dismembered it and threw it in the garden.

He even found a reason to open Wenling (the mausoleum of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty) so that people could take the treasures and use them as military resources.

Zhou Hui, the son of Dasinong Zhou Zhong, heard that there was an accident in Luoyang and worried about his father's safety, so he went to Luoyang.

But Dong Zhuo had disputes with Zhou Hui because of old affairs, and he hated Zhou Hui so much that he even made no secret of it, and directly sent troops to rob him and kill him.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already in power, and he really did it. If he obeyed his will, he would live, and if he went against his will, he would die!

When Dong Zhuo received the news of the formation of the Kwantung Allied Forces, he couldn't help being furious.

Now that he is the prime minister, with his growing power, he can't tolerate anyone who dares to disobey him.

"Damn, damn, a group of traitors who committed crimes below, I begged for their official positions from the emperor! How dare a group of ungrateful and treacherous people do this!"

Dong Zhuo was furious in the Hall of Houde, and kept walking.

"A group of trash, trash that can't even beat the 'Moth Thief', dare to attack me?!"

Dong Zhuo was in a rage, and no one dared to come forward to persuade him.

Almost everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, looking at their noses and their hearts. No one wanted to touch Dong Zhuo's bad luck at this time.

The last person who made Dong Zhuo unhappy is still being tortured by Xuan Tingwei in the prison, unable to live or die.

Chapter 489 Frost and Frost

After Dong Zhuo had vented, Li Ru stepped out of the queue to persuade him.

"The Kwantung Allied Army, although called heroes, is actually a pack of dogs, but a bunch of clowns. Xiangguo has [-] elite soldiers. There are eight passes in Luoyang, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals outside. They also have the name of righteousness. To destroy the Kwantung Allied Army. But between hands."

Li Ru glanced to the left and right, Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's action and knew that he had a secret to tell, so he waved his hand, the soldiers on the left and right saw Dong Zhuo's action and retreated to the rear.

Ever since he was assassinated by Yueqi school captain Wu Fu last time, Dong Zhuo took more soldiers with him every time he traveled to prevent accidents.

Cavalry Captain Hua Xiong was promoted to Zhonglang General because of his meritorious service in rescue, and he was even named Dutinghou by him, and he served around.

"The Kwantung Allied Forces claimed that the troops were sent because the emperor was located in Liu Xie, and the troops were famous. Although it is not correct, it is reasonable."

"Xiangguo abolished the emperor, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty was demolished, but it also gave the Kwantung Allied Forces a handle..."

Li Ru's expression turned sharp, and he pointed to a knife, slashed downward, and said coldly.

"It's better to let them not have this title..."

Dong Zhuo's eyelids twitched, Li Ru actually wanted to kill Liu Xie directly.

But although Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Xie as emperor, he still had a good impression of Liu Xie.

After all, before Liu Xie became emperor, he was raised by Empress Dowager Dong and was called Marquis Dong.

Dong Zhuo thought he was of the same family as the Empress Dowager Dong, and he didn't even want to abolish the emperor.

But if the emperor is not abolished, the majesty of the Han Dynasty is still there.

Although the position of Xiangguo is lofty, and although he is happy to have power in the government and the public, his ambition does not stop there.

Being under one person, above ten thousand people, always under one person, even if it is one person above the name, is extremely uncomfortable.

The emperor's throne is occupied by members of the Liu family, so Dong Zhuo can't do it?

"If the teacher comes from Wuming, the righteousness is with me. After the Kwantung coalition forces are wiped out, the prestige of the Xiangguo will reach its peak, and the world will be famous. At that time, the Kwantung will be wiped out, and Liangzhou will be taken over, and you will be wiped out and rebelled."

Li Ru bowed his hands and said in a deep voice

"The supreme position in the world is occupied by those with virtue and ability. Why doesn't the Han Dynasty abdicate the throne to Xiangguo..."

Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at Li Ru beside him. Hearing Li Ru's description, he couldn't help feeling excited.

The Han Dynasty has been in the world for too long, and it is indeed time for a new person to sit.

Dong Zhuo's gaze gradually became sharper.

If you want to ascend to a high position, you must be ruthless.

"Xiangguo, I have something to report."

Li Ru looked at the smug Dong Zhuo and felt at ease. Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's better mood, he could just say another thing at this time.

"Now that the world is uncertain, it is a little inappropriate for Xiangguo to stay overnight in the imperial palace, and our army has entered the city to stabilize the situation in Luoyang, but now many cases have been initiated in the city, robbing wealthy households, looting property, and raping women. rise……"

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, showing some impatient expression.

Although Li Ru sensed Dong Zhuo's strange look, he still continued to speak. There were some things he had to say.

"Although the Kwantung Allied Forces are no more than a group of porpoise dogs, they are also an obstacle. The Yellow Turbans in the North have become popular. Xu An, who started at the beginning, swept Bingzhou and occupied twelve cities in just a few years under the siege of the Han court. The land of the county should not be underestimated."

Li Ru's remonstrance sometimes made Dong Zhuo feel a little harsh.

"The Son of Heaven is young, and as the prime minister, it is normal for me to assist him once or twice. Do you think there are any people in the government and the opposition who object?"

Li Ru frowned slightly, so he wanted to say more.

Dong Zhuo knew that Li Ru was about to make a long speech, so he waved his hands again and again.

"There is chaos in Luoyang City, I will send an order to restrain the generals below."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo didn't say anything more to Li Ruduo, and left the hall with Hua Xiong and other soldiers.

"Xiangguo."

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's leaving back, his eyes flickered.

Compared with the past, Dong Zhuo has changed a lot. Before that, Dong Zhuo listened to his advice with an open mind.

It's just that as Dong Zhuo's status increased day by day, it seemed that Dong Zhuo became less and less willing to talk to him, and he became less and less tolerant of others disobeying him, and his temper grew day by day.

Li Ru put his hands behind his back, looked up at the luxurious decoration of the hall, his eyes were full of worry.

Luoyang is full of luxury and wealth, and the beauties are prosperous, which seems to have fascinated Dong Zhuo's eyes.

But fortunately, Dong Zhuo still has ambitions and aspirations.

Although he was addicted to pleasure for a while, Li Ru believed that as long as the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked, Dong Zhuo at that time would definitely be able to regain his strength.

……

Luoyang City has become quite dilapidated due to the arrival of the Xiliang Army.

The military discipline of the Xiliang army was corrupt, but Dong Zhuo did not restrain it, so the Xiliang army ran rampant in Fangshi and acted recklessly.

It was already dusk at this time, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

In the past, there was still a period of time before the curfew at this time, and Luoyang City was always full of traffic, bustling and lively. 1

As the king of Chenliu, Liu Xie did not go to the country, but lived in a mansion arranged by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City. This simple mansion became the so-called Chenliu Palace.

It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to really let Liu Xie go to Chen Liu to join the country. The current Chen Liu is not in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, summoned generals, and had admired [-] soldiers. At this time, letting Liu Xie take over the country was undoubtedly in line with the wishes of Cao Cao and others.

Liu Xie stood in the courtyard and looked around at the scene.

His bodyguards, including the eunuchs and maids serving him, were almost all appointed by Dong Zhuo.

Although Liu Xie was young, he was talented and intelligent, and when he became emperor, Jian Shuo often taught him some knowledge about the way of emperors.

Although Jian Shuo is not an emperor, he has worked for Liu Hong for many years, and he is familiar with it. It is not difficult to pass it on to Liu Xie.

But Dong Zhuo didn't do too much. Beside Liu Xie, there were two eunuchs and two guards who Liu Xie knew.

"It's windy outside, Your Highness might as well enter the house first."

A middle-aged man came over, put a coat on Liu Xie, and said in a low voice.

Liu Xie's complexion changed slightly, but he concealed it well, nodded, and walked into the house.

The middle-aged man glanced around indiscriminately, and followed Liu Xie into the house.

With the wooden door closed, Liu Xie was still a young man after all, but it was hard to hide his panic at this moment.

"Mr. Wang, what happened?"

That middle-aged man was the only bodyguard Liu Xie knew. Dong Zhuo asked Liu Xie to stay with four people, one of whom was this man.

And the reason why this person was left behind was because this person was the Embroidered Clothes Envoy at all, not the palace guard.

This man's surname is Wang and his name is Yue, he is a ranger famous for his swordsmanship in the capital, a first-class master of swordsmanship, he beheaded and killed He Jin when the court changed in the past.

Wang Yue glanced around, and after confirming the situation, he stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"What you say in the lower class may be frightening, but please don't panic, Your Highness, and make a noise."

Liu Xie's expression changed a few times, he calmed down, and finally nodded.

Seeing Liu Xie's expression softened slightly, Wang Yue said in a low voice.

"The prefects and state herdsmen from all over the Kanto have formed a coalition army, intending to attack Dong Zhuo and restore His Royal Highness to the throne."

"After Dong Zhuo knew about it, he wanted to get rid of His Royal Highness, so that the Kwantung Allied Forces could go out without a name and occupy the name of righteousness."

This news was sent out by a member of Xuan Tingwei who was born as an embroidered emissary risking his life.

Dong Zhuo wanted to poison Liu Xie to death, and fabricated that Liu Xie died of a sudden death due to illness.

Liu Xie's complexion changed involuntarily when he heard Wang Yue's words, and the panic in his eyes could hardly be concealed, but he couldn't hold back his exclamation after all.

Wang Yue stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic. I have already made a plan, but I just want to wrong you. Please forgive me."

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, the wooden door was pulled open, and two swordsmen in civilian clothes walked in.

"The outside of the house has been cleaned up, and the carriage is outside, ready to take His Highness out of the city at any time."

Liu Xie looked at the two swordsmen kneeling on the ground, and he clearly saw a lot of blood on their bodies.
