Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard about Cao Cao's attempt to assassinate our family yesterday."

"Cao Cao is such a hateful person. We treated him well, but he didn't even think of repaying us. He even tried to assassinate us. How is he any different from a beast?"

In the court, Dong Zhuo's angry voice echoed.

"Fengxian, have you issued all the arrest warrants that we asked you to issue?"

A tall and mighty general stepped out from the crowd and bowed. It was Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, I have already drawn a picture of Cao Cao and sent it to the prefectures and counties along with the documents. Anyone who captures Cao Cao will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be made a marquis of ten thousand households."

"Good, good, good."

Dong Zhuo said "good" three times in a row before he stopped.

He looked around at everyone and said coldly: "We have worked hard for the Han people, but still cannot get recognition from some people. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"

"We know that there must be Cao Cao's accomplices among you. Once we catch Cao Cao, we will skin you alive and tear out your tendons to vent our hatred."

At Dong Zhuo's feet, a group of important Han officials bowed their heads and said nothing.

Seeing that no one responded, Dong Zhuo also felt bored.

He glanced at the emperor sitting on the throne, waved his hand and said, "In that case, everyone go back."

Everyone shouted long live the emperor and was about to file out when Dong Zhuo said, "Situ Wang, please stay. I have something to ask you."

When Wang Yun heard this, he was secretly shocked. Could it be that he knew about his conspiracy with Cao Cao to assassinate Dong Zhuo?

He has always known Dong Zhuo's methods. If he really knew, not only would he die, but his family would also be in danger.

Wang Yun tried to remain calm, fearing that he would lose control and collapse to the ground.

Wait for everyone to leave.

"I heard that Cao Cao went to your Situ Mansion yesterday. Is this true?"

Wang Yun knew that Dong Zhuo had already suspected him, and his heart was like a raging storm.

"This is true. Yesterday, Cao Cao came to my birthday party to wish me a happy birthday. He drank a few glasses of wine and then left."

"So that's how it is. Cao Cao is very cunning. Situ Wang, you must not let him fool you."

"Prime Minister, you are joking. When Cao Cao came to my house yesterday, it was just a show of friendship between colleagues."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."

Dong Zhuo paused and continued:

"Today I heard someone say that all the talents in the world are shared by one person. Liu Yunqi alone has eight buckets, Bo Ji has one bucket, and you two share one bucket. I don't care whether you share it or not. I just want to know who this Liu Yunqi is. What kind of talent does he have that he dares to be better than Bo Ji."

When Wang Yun heard this, he felt a little relieved.

Cai Yong and Cai Bojie were both deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo. Judging from his attitude, he was trying to stand up for Cai Yong.

"In reply to the Prime Minister, Liu Yunqi is the son of an old friend of mine. He has some talent for poetry. As for the statement that Yunqi alone took eight dou and Bo Ji took one dou, it was just a joke after drinking. Please don't take it seriously, Prime Minister."

"A joke?"

Dong Zhuo laughed out loud.

"You said it was a joke, so it is a joke. This sentence has probably spread throughout Luoyang City. Today the whole of Luoyang knows about it, and tomorrow the whole world will probably know about it. Just because Wang Situ said it as a joke, this matter is over?"

Wang Yun secretly groaned in his heart.

Dong Zhuo then said, "How about this, you come to my house and I will personally test his talent. If the rumors are not true, I will definitely punish him."

Wang Yun felt relieved. After all, he knew Liu Yu's talent.

"I will obey the order of the Prime Minister!"

……

……

As soon as Liu Yuzhan arrived at the Prime Minister's Gate, he saw a tall and handsome man standing at the door.

Liu Yu bowed and asked, "Could it be General Lu Fengxian?"

The man said calmly, "It is Lu Bu. The Prime Minister asked me to wait for you here."

It’s really Lu Bu, he is indeed very heroic.

"I have often heard people say that Red Hare is the best horse and Lü Bu is the best man. Today, after meeting General Lü, I know that the rumor is false."

Lu Bu was slightly startled and felt a little unhappy.

"What does Yunqi mean?"

Liu Yu said calmly, "General Lu is so heroic and brave that no mortal can compare to him. I think General Lu must be a god descended from heaven to be so outstanding and heroic."

Lu Bu laughed and found the young man in front of him more pleasing to the eye.

"Yunqi, I'm overpraising you. The Prime Minister is waiting for you. Please follow me."

Walking into the Xiangguo Mansion, there are pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, willows, and birds singing. If Liu Yu didn't know, he would have thought he had walked into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Dong Zhuo is indeed good at enjoying himself.

While Liu Yu was deep in thought, he heard Lu Bu's voice.

"Godfather, Yunqi has been brought here."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Okay, my son Fengxian, bring him in quickly so that we can see who this person is and who dares to speak so arrogantly."

Liu Yu followed him into the hall and saw a short and fat old man sitting in the middle. His face was covered with fat, but his eyes were very bright. It must be Dong Zhuo without a doubt.

Although Dong Zhuo was cruel at this time, he had not lost his enterprising spirit. He recruited civil and military officials to work for him, using every possible means.

The other person in front of him, Cai Yong, was forcibly recruited by him.

Cai Yong was a famous literary figure of this period.

He was proficient in poetry, lyrics, music and calligraphy.

Throughout the long course of history, in terms of all-round talent, perhaps only Mr. Su Dongpo of later generations could surpass him.

Such a great writer was unsuccessful in the officialdom.

He was imprisoned for his outspokenness and courage. After his release, he retired from society and devoted himself to his writings.

After Dong Zhuo came to power, he heard of his reputation and summoned him, but Cai Yong was unwilling to come.

Dong Zhuo wanted to exterminate his entire clan, so Cai Yong had no choice but to choose between seclusion and serving as an official.

After Cai Yong came to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo valued him very much and promoted him three times in one day.

Later, Dong Zhuo died, and Cai Yong was imprisoned and died by Wang Yun because he sighed.

Liu Yu bowed and said, "Liu Yu Liu Yunqi pays homage to the Prime Minister and to Minister Cai."

Dong Zhuo stood up, twisted his fat body and walked in front of Liu Yu, looked around, and circled around Liu Yu before saying indifferently: "I thought you were some kind of extraordinary person, but you turned out to be just a kid. Tell me, what talents do you have that you dare to claim to be so talented?"

"I don't deserve your high talent, it's just a joke after drinking."

"Just kidding, why does this sound familiar to me? Let me think about it. Oh, right, Wang Situ has already said this in the court before, but I don't believe it."

"Now you say it's just a joke, and I've told you that if I find out today that you don't have any real skills, I'll punish you."

"Prime Minister, calm down. I read the poem "Song of the Wine", every line is a pearl, it can be said to be a masterpiece of all ages. If it was written by Yunqi, it shows that he is a man of extraordinary talent."

When Dong Zhuo heard Cai Yong speaking, his attitude softened a little.

"Bo Ji, you are just too kind-hearted. He is just a little kid, how could he read a few more books? How could the poem "Song of the Wine" be written by him? It is obvious that someone used this little kid to bully you. Why are you still speaking for him?"

Cai Yong replied, "How could Yong not know the Prime Minister's intention to protect him? However, from my observation, Yunqi has a calm gaze and a handsome appearance. He should not be an uneducated person."

A person with a handsome appearance does not mean he is uneducated. This... Liu Yu was a little confused. Could it be that knowledge is related to appearance?

However, seeing Cai Yong defending him in this way, Liu Yu also smiled in response.

After hearing what Cai Yong said, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Yu a few more times.

"From his appearance, he should have read a few days of books. Bo Ji, you are one bucket, and he is eight buckets. Do you believe it if I tell you? Anyway, we don't believe it."

"The style of the poem "Sending Wine" is magnificent and unconventional. It is a rare piece of writing that will last for thousands of years. To be honest with you, Prime Minister, Yong Ke could not have written it."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Tell me the truth, was that the song "Song of the Wine" written by you?"

"I am talking nonsense after drinking. I have made the Prime Minister laugh at me."

"Okay, since you admit it, let's test you two today to see who is more talented."
