Chapter 200 Hanoi Dong Zhuo
In the south of Bingzhou, in Hedong County adjacent to Xihe.

Today is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, a festival full of joy.

The Sheriff's Mansion in Hedong County has already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, covered with red silk.

"Young master, run slowly." More than a dozen maidservants shouted eagerly.

Running in front was a seven or eight-year-old girl, clear and lively, wearing new red brocade clothes, running with a whimper, not caring about the clumsy servants behind her.

The little girl ran from the courtyard on the third floor to the outside of the mansion gate. When the guard at the gate saw the little girl coming out, he immediately bowed down.

What was imprinted in the gorgeous eyes was the empty frosty street, and the eyes that looked forward to joy gradually faded.

The little girl seemed very disappointed, she sat on the vermilion lacquer threshold with her head buried, only the double buns on the top of her head that looked like round ears were exposed, no matter how much the maidservants persuaded her, she refused to get up and go back.

I was annoyed over and over again in my heart: "Big liar, I will never talk to you again!"

After a while, the slow and muffled sound of horseshoes came from the cold street.

Three hundred armored soldiers cleared the way, and a heroic carriage stopped at the gate of the county mansion.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a man in military uniform with a stature like a bear stepped out.

The little girl raised her head, a flash of joy flashed in Lingyi's eyes, but she quickly buried her head down again.

"Oh, my little ancestor, why are you sitting on the threshold in this cold weather, don't get frostbitten." The man Xiongkui muttered in pieces, and walked quickly to the gate of the mansion.

The little girl snorted angrily, and ignored the powerful person in front of her who many people dreamed of clinging to.

The man's surname is Dong, and his single name is Zhuo.

He grew up in Liangzhou when he was young, and he was good as a ranger.When I was plowing in the field, I picked up a knife. There was no writing on the knife, and there were mountains and clouds hidden on all sides, and the jade (zhu) was like mud.

When he was a young man, Dong Zhuo already possessed extraordinary arm strength. He was equipped with two sets of bows and arrows all year round.

At that time, he was a passionate young man with the word "righteousness" in his head, and his life creed was just two words: righteousness.

He often went to the Qiang people's jurisdiction to get acquainted, and with his eloquence comparable to that of an old driver, he won the favor of many powerful men.

In the last years of Emperor Huan, Dong Zhuo, who served as Habayashiro, followed Zhang Huan, one of the "Three Mings of Liangzhou", to crusade against the rebellious Qiang people.On the battlefield, Dong Zhuo was brave and fierce, and his performance was very eye-catching, and he quickly stood out among many generals.

Dong Zhuo, who has experienced hundreds of battles and made great achievements in battle, was promoted again and again, and he became the governor of Hedong. The imperial court specially rewarded him with [-] bolts of fine silk.

Facing the generous rewards from the imperial court, Dong Zhuo touched his conscience and said: "Whoever does it is himself, and whoever has it is a scholar."

Although he was the one who made the meritorious service, all the rewards belonged to the soldiers.

After this confession, the officers and men of the three armies and a group of rough old men were so moved that they couldn't be more moved, wishing they could fight bloody battles for him immediately.

Dong Zhuo's fortune is both good and bad.

When his career was booming, his favorite son died.

Since then, Dong Zhuo's temperament has changed drastically, and he became violent and bloodthirsty. Fortunately, his son still left behind a granddaughter who is full moon.

That is, the little girl sitting on the threshold, Dong Bai.

It can be said that even in the entire Hedong, there is only the little girl who is not afraid of Dong Zhuo.

The little girl was sulking alone, Dong Zhuo opened his granddaughter's little hand, and said flatteringly: "Who is bullying our little Lingxi, tell Ah Weng, Ah Weng will help you vent your anger."

The servants and maidservants fell to their knees in a 'plop plop', trembling and terrified.

"It's you, Ah Weng. You clearly agreed to come back the day before yesterday, but I waited and waited, but I couldn't wait." The little girl puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, his eyes full of love: "Well, well, it's Ah Weng who is wrong, Ah Weng is wrong."

He hugged Dong Bai and let her grab his bushy beard.

"A Weng, wake them up quickly, you will catch a cold if you kneel on the ground." The little girl's voice was sweet, and she kindly reminded A Weng who seemed to have forgotten about it.

Without Dong Zhuo speaking, those servants who were kneeling on the ground would not dare to get up.

Dong Zhuo glanced at these servants, letting his granddaughter sit on the threshold to catch the cold was already their crime, how could they be forgiven lightly.

However, the little girl had already spoken, so Dong Zhuo had no choice but to give up.

He carried Dong Bai across the threshold and waved his hand.

All the servants and maidservants seemed to be pardoned.

As early as half a year ago, Dong Bai had suffered from a cold and fever, and his illness was aggravated because his servant mixed up the soup.As a result, Dong Zhuo was furious and executed more than forty related people.

Entering the mansion, a middle-aged Confucian scholar in blue robes and cloth shoes was waiting in the hall. He looked thin and had a short two-inch beard on his chin.

"I have seen my lord."

He was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but he never called him father-in-law.

Dong Zhuo nodded to him, "You and I don't need to be formal, sit down."

He hugged the little girl and sat on his lap, and had secret talks with Li Ru, Dong Zhuo never shy away from her.

"What's going on with the Qiang people?" Dong Zhuo teased his little granddaughter and asked in a seemingly easy-going manner.

But Dong Bai didn't like this uncle very much, he always gave Ah Weng a lot of bad ideas, and even when he laughed, he was very cold, making people's backs shudder.

With confidence in his chest, Li Ru replied truthfully: "The Qiang people have already contacted, and they can do it at any time as long as the lord orders."

Not long ago, the imperial court sent envoys to order Dong Zhuo to be the governor of Bingzhou.

Dong Zhuo asked his son-in-law to discuss it, and with Li Ru's vision of resourcefulness, it's not hard to see that it's tricky.

Dong Zhuo's power in Hedong is becoming more and more powerful, and basically no one can control it, which has threatened the interests of many aristocratic families.

Therefore, some people naturally wanted to transfer Dong Zhuo away from Hedong, and let him go to Bingzhou to become a state governor with a name but no power.

Under Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo claimed that he was not sick, and he went to the court again, saying that he was seriously ill and could not walk on the ground.

After the imperial court sent someone to visit, that person received a heavy gift from Dong Zhuo, and he would naturally "repay the truth" when he returned.

So Dong Zhuo's itinerary was omitted, and the governor of the state fell to Ding Yuan.

Those who regard Dong Zhuo as a thorn in their side will definitely have another trick if they fail to succeed.

Dong Zhuo is not the master who just sits and waits to die. Since you don't want me to be a local emperor here, then I have to cause you some trouble and make you suffer.

"Let the soldiers have a good year first, and let's talk about everything after the Chinese New Year is over."

Dong Zhuo lovingly stroked his granddaughter's black hair. Although the position of the governor of Hedong is good, but he stayed for too long, he would inevitably want to move up.

Funny to say.

He, Dong Zhongying, is thirty-three in his forties today, and he has a lot of power, and there are countless people who flatter and flatter him.But the ones who can really speak their minds are a son-in-law who refuses to call him father-in-law, and a girl under eight years old.

 Baidu Three Kingdoms: In the first year of Chuping, when Dong Zhuo was in power, all his clans were enfeoffed. Among them, a granddaughter Dong Bai, who had not yet reached the age of Ji, was enfeoffed as Lord of Weiyang, and built an altar in the east of Meicheng.Let Dong Bai ride in a Qinggai chariot, and let the captain and general Zhonglang in Meicheng guide and follow him.

  In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was punished and the three clans were wiped out.Dong Bai died at this time at the age of 16.
