Lu Dynasty

Chapter 242
Dong Zhuo moved to Meiwu, leaving only Li Ru and Dong Zhuo's generals in Chang'an City.Meiwu is also guarded by Hua Xiong only, and people don't understand that Dong Zhuo handed over half of his troops to Hua Xiong.What is even more puzzling is that since Lu Bu and I promised him to get rid of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun has been jumping up and down, very active in Chang'an City, but Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are very indulgent to Wang Yun's behavior.

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed away in a flash.Wang Yun came to the restaurant to inform me that the plan to remove directors will be carried out in three days.Li Su was recruited by Wang Yun, and Li Ru was already under the control of Wang Yun's people. As for Hua Xiong, Wang Yun didn't worry about this brainless reckless man at all.I asked Fengxian to receive Wang Yun, and told Wang Yun that if he dared to hurt me, I would kill all the Taiyuan Wangs.But old man Wang doesn't seem to care much about my threats. Thinking about it too, once Dong Zhuo died and Wang Yun took control of the government, he thought that no one in the world would dare to oppose him, so why would he be afraid of my threats.But Wang Yun didn't know that Dong Zhuo's death was not far from Wang Yun's.

The day after Wang Yun informed me to do it, I suddenly received an invitation from Dong Zhuo to visit Meiwu.Although I was surprised by Dong Zhuo's behavior, I went anyway.At this juncture, if I alert Dong Zhuo, it will be bad. The 40 Xiliang army is not something I can handle.

Dong Zhuo was very happy when he saw me and said, "Here comes first! Sit down!" I haven't seen Dong Zhuo for nearly three months, but now that I see him, I find that he is obviously much older.

"Why did the prime minister call me here?" I sat down and asked Dong Zhuo.

"Long time no see, I miss Baxian a little! I invite Baxian to come here today, because I want to see you for the last time!" Dong Zhuo asked with a smile, "Baxian, how do I treat you?"

"The prime minister treats me with such kindness as a mountain!" I laughed and said, "Why did the prime minister ask such a question?"

Dong Zhuo curled his lips and said, "Don't be such a hypocrite! I think I am good to you, but I don't have much kindness. The kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and Baxian is obviously perfunctory. Forget it, I don't want to talk to Baxian about these things. It's all over, I have something I want to entrust to Ba Xian, I don't know if Ba Xian can promise me!"

"The prime minister just does what he tells you! I have said long ago that the king's salary is to take care of the king's worries. Since I am under the prime minister's command, I will naturally do things for the prime minister!" I laughed.

Dong Zhuo said seriously: "Ba Xian! I don't want to give you any order, but I just want you to take care of Li Ru after I go!"

"I really don't understand what the prime minister said, where is the prime minister going?" I asked.

"Baxian!" Dong Zhuo said: "I treat each other with sincerity, why did Baxian deceive me? Then Wang Yun claims to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he force Liu Xie to abdicate for me? Tomorrow Weiyang Palace Zen throne must be Wang Yun's scheme, I hope that after Wang Yun kills me, Baxian can take care of Li Ru's family for me. I would like to use my head to exchange Li Ru's family for a lifetime of safety and prosperity. I fled after my death, but I was really unwilling to let a great talent like Li Ru be buried. Speaking of it, I still feel sorry for him, if he hadn’t been related to me as a son-in-law, everyone in the world would be willing to take him in!”

"I don't understand the prime minister's words more and more!" I wondered: "Since the prime minister knows that Wang Yun is suspected of murdering the prime minister, why didn't he take him down? Hua Xiong took 20 Xiliang troops to take him down." Wang Yun's family seems to have no problem!"

"The old man is tired!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "If Fei'er is still here, the old man will have to work hard to get a piece of the family property, even if it is ruined by him! But Fei'er is gone, Li Ru will be a counselor It’s more than enough, but it’s not enough to be a prince. Niu Fu is even useless. Others are like Dong Huang. Why should I fight for them? The imperial doctor also said that I can’t have children anymore. After all, I’m almost 60 years old this year Now, even if I can give birth again, I can't guarantee that I can live until the day when the world is settled or my children can support the world. Now it is a chaotic world, as long as I can save a trace of my blood, I will Satisfied. Although Li Ru is my son-in-law, he is like my own son, and I hope Ba will take care of him first!"

It turned out that Dong Zhuo started to give up on himself because of the pain of losing his son. Later, the imperial doctor told him that he didn't know how to take care of himself when he was young, so his body functions were destroyed.Originally, his Dong family had a hard time with offspring, and now it is even worse. It is simply an extravagant hope to have another male and a half female.

The Chinese are always very concerned about inheritance, and the patriarchal thought cannot be avoided even in the 21st century, let alone the feudal Han Dynasty.After the death of Dong Fei, Dong Zhuo's only son, Dong Zhuo was unparalleled.Even if he really unifies the world and becomes the emperor, it will still be passed on to the members of his clan in the end.For Dong Zhuo, if it is not his son, it is passed on to outsiders. Why should Dong Zhuo bother for an outsider?

I probably understand what Dong Zhuo is thinking, but I don't know if Dong Zhuo is testing me.So I laughed and said, "The prime minister was joking, how could Wang Yun murder the prime minister? Just relying on him as a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken? The prime minister only needs to take Hua Xiong there tomorrow, let alone Wang Yun, no one can hurt him." I lost half a hair of the prime minister!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Baxian, if Wang Yun didn't get your consent, I believe he would not dare to do anything. With your consent, Wang Yun will hold the number one general in the world, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian! Hua Xiong's going is just one more person to die!"

"Then why didn't the prime minister get rid of us?" I asked suspiciously.

"If I could get rid of you, I would have done it long ago." Dong Zhuo said with a smile, "Let's not talk about Feng Xian's bravery, but just talk about Ba Xian's martial arts. Who in this world knows?"

"The prime minister is joking. I am just a scribe, and I know a little about archery. If I talk about martial arts, I have more strength!" I said.

"Forget it!" Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Since Baxian doesn't want to be honest with me, I won't make things difficult for Baxian! I also hope that Baxian can promise me to keep Li Ru's family safe after my death. I can't thank you enough for this!"

I said: "The prime minister was in the prime of life, why did you make such an ominous statement? This plan of Wang Yun is just a speculation by the prime minister. Maybe the prime minister will be in the ninth or fifth place tomorrow. Mr. Li is the prime minister's beloved son-in-law, even if he is not a prince, he is A big prince! When the time comes, I still count on you to take care of me!"

"The ancients said: When a person is about to die, his words are good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Since Emperor Ling came to the throne, we have always had nursery rhymes to predict the future. On the street, I heard a child singing: "Thousand li grass, He Qingqing. Ten days divination, no birth." Baxian is a master of this way, I don't know what Baxian thinks this nursery rhyme means?"
