The reason why it is "basically" is that it even includes ministers who are not favored by Dong Zhuo but are trying to please him.
At this time, the court was already so terrible that not only were mediocre people in power, but they had also lost their ability to think.
If the situation continues to develop, Wang Yun couldn't imagine what the situation would be like in three to five years.
Or, whether the Han people can reach that time period is a striking question mark.
"Master Zi..." Cai Yong said in a low voice.
Wang Yun's expression gradually calmed down.
Being angry is also useless here, it will only draw those people's attention and then expose and report you.
But what concerned Wang Yun was that these people who celebrated were basically insignificant factions in Dong Zhuo's camp.
On the contrary, those ministers and their allies who were truly in Dong Zhuo's camp did not say a word, and many even looked worried.
This is completely different from what Wang Yun thought, or it is completely the opposite.
Shouldn't Dong Zhuo's close confidants who have access to first-hand information be the first to go into a frenzy?
Wang Yun was puzzled when a tall and slender man was walking towards him.
"Wang Situ."
A greeting came from the side. Wang Yun tilted his head and was surprised.
The people who came to greet him turned out to be from the Yuan family.
Wang Yun was a well-known person who disliked Dong Zhuo. Even if he was not immediately purged by Dong Zhuo, other people would try their best to avoid having anything to do with him, as having Wang Yun around would affect their careers.
This created a situation where Wang Yun stood out among the groups of people chatting, becoming a new and different person.
It was a bit too strange that the Yuan family came to see him at this time.
"You are... Yuan Gonglu from the Yuan family?"
"It's me." Yuan Shu smiled.
Wang Yun didn't understand why the Yuan family, one of Dong Zhuo's biggest supporters, would take the initiative to find him at this time.
But Wang Yun still had no good face towards Yuan Shu.
Who said Yuan Shu was the famous person who assisted Dong Wei in his atrocities?
"What's the matter? I'm not 'Situ' and I don't have time to chat with you." Wang Yun said lightly.
"The position of 'Si Tu' will return to Mr. Wang sooner or later." Yuan Shu said with a smile.
Is this a new method that prompted him to make anti-Dong remarks and then put himself in jail?
Wang Yun frowned and was about to wave his hand to send Yuan Shu away, but he was surprised by Yuan Shu's next words.
"Sir, you should be wondering why those who celebrated were all officials from marginal forces, while people like the Grand Tutor and Dong Zhuo's confidants did not do so?"
"What if I say... it's because of Dong Zhuo's disastrous defeat?"
Wang Yun was surprised and continued, "How do you know? The battle information on the front line can only be transmitted by Dong Zhuo. Even if it is so close, there is no clear track of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang these two days."
"That's because Dong Zhuo has not been in Luoyang for the past two days." Yuan Shu smiled. "She crossed the Yellow River and fought a fierce battle with Liu Zhaoqing, the Marquis of Changping. In the end, her team was almost wiped out and she fled back in panic."
"As for whether what I said is true or not, I don't think it's necessary for me to verify it. When Dong Zhuo comes back, you will be able to use your own eyes to see for yourself whether it is true or not."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, Wang Yun thought about it carefully for a while and felt that Yuan Shu's analysis did make some sense.
But it is somewhat unreasonable. After all, Liu Zhaoqing almost wiped out Dong Zhuo's army, which sounds like a storyteller's exaggeration.
It’s not that bad. As Yuan Shu said, as long as Wang Yun observes it with his own eyes later, he will be able to tell whether it is true or false.
What made Wang Yun curious at this time was why Yuan Shu did this?
"Isn't the Yuan family loyal to Dong Zhuo? What do you mean? Do you want to make an enemy of your uncle?" Wang Yun asked.
Yuan Shu calmly shook his head: "The Yuan family is the Yuan family, and I am me."
"I don't mean to be anyone's enemy, I'm just myself."
"Just as the ardent desire in your eyes is so clear, so is my ambition."
Yuan Shu turned around and took one last look at the crowd, whether it was lively or not, and went back towards the city gate.
Just when Wang Yun was wondering how credible Yuan Shu's words were, there was a sudden noise in the distance.
In the early morning mist, there was indeed a group of people coming towards Luoyang City in the distance.
In the daze, many people thought that this must be Dong Zhuo's triumphant team, and they cheered and congratulated in advance.
But Wang Yun found the blurry shadow a little strange.
They were moving very slowly, and their numbers... seemed a little too small.
If it was really a triumphant army, then what Wang Yun should have seen now was a dark mass in the fog.
Could it be that...what Yuan Shu said was true?
While Wang Yun was wondering, the mist was slowly dissipating.
Dong Zhuo's appearance in the distance finally came into Wang Yun's sight again. After being stunned for a moment, Wang Yun was ecstatic.
Dong Zhuo was indeed on the White Wolf, but not only did he look gloomy, but the number of generals and soldiers around him appeared to be less than two hundred.
Not only did Wang Yun realize that something was wrong, but those who were originally cheering also noticed something was wrong and immediately fell silent.
When Dong Zhuo approached the gate of Luoyang, most of the ministers bowed to him or simply knelt down.
Dong Zhuo remained silent, rode the White Wolf through the welcoming crowd, and drank into the city with an expressionless face.
This attitude made Wang Yun immediately understand that what Yuan Shu said was true.
Dong Zhuo was really defeated, and it was a great and miserable defeat!
"Bo Ji." Wang Yun came to Cai Yong's side with an excited expression.
"What did I say? Isn't it here?!"
Cai Yong was still in shock.
On the other side, after Dong Zhuo silently entered the city, when faced with her subordinates and others who came towards her, she simply waved her hands to tell them not to approach her.
After returning to his residence and taking off his armor, Dong Zhuo had not sat in the chair for long when people kept asking to see him.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, someone from the Imperial Historian wants to discuss matters with the Prime Minister."
"No." Dong Zhuo waved his hand.
"There is something important to report to me, otherwise you will be severely punished." After Dong Zhuo said this, he prepared to take a rest and replenish the energy he had consumed in the past few days.
But not long after he closed his eyes, another report was heard from afar.
Dong Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at the person who came to report. The anger in his cold eyes made the soldier fall into great fear.
"Report!!!"
Just at this time, Li Ru came in from outside and saw Dong Zhuo treating the soldiers like this. He thought the soldiers had done something wrong.
Upon inquiry, it was found that Dong Zhuo was just angry and the soldiers were in bad luck.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. This soldier looks like he is from the garrison in Chang'an?" Li Ru asked.
The soldier nodded quickly and then told the content of his report.
"Prime Minister, Kong Jun's army has arrived outside Chang'an City. Please rush to help."
"Kong Jun?" Dong Zhuo frowned. "How could he be so fast?"
"How can I rush to help Chang'an now?"
Dong Zhuo fell silent, but Li Ru beside him rolled his eyes, then lowered his head and asked, "Does the Prime Minister still remember that person?"
"Who?"
"The one who taught the Prime Minister how to control Liu Bian... Henei Sima."
Chapter 314 The Emperor Weeps, Great Victory in Chang'an 4K
Sima...
When Dong Zhuo heard the name, his expression did not change much, but his brows slightly frowned.
This was the person who taught her how to control Liu Bian, and gave her the ability to turn the dragon seed Chaofeng into a tool of war.
But it happened to be precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo was highly defensive against this person.
He can help himself today, but who can guarantee that he won’t help others tomorrow?
"According to the Grand Historian, that man is not someone who can be controlled." Dong Zhuo shook his head.
"Don't put your hope in someone I can't control, or something bad will happen."
Li Ru also understood Dong Zhuo's worries. After thinking for a moment, Li Ru nodded slightly, but his expression was still full of worry.
"There is nothing wrong with what the Prime Minister said, but the difficulty in Chang'an...if we don't solve it, Kong Rong will occupy Chang'an and then join forces with Ma Teng, and our base in Xiliang will be completely swallowed up."
"By then, with Liu Zhaoqing's rebel army in the east and Kong Zhu and Ma Teng in the west, Luoyang... will also be in danger."
When you are surrounded on both sides, you can't escape even if you want to.
Dong Zhuo's left hand gradually clenched. He had not yet recovered from the shadow of defeat, but he did not expect to encounter such an incident again.
Could it be true, as Taishi Ling and others said, that she had disturbed the destiny of the Han Dynasty and was now slowly suffering the consequences?
"Report! General Cai Yong of the Left requests to see you!"
A report came from outside, waking up Li Ru and Dong Zhuo who were thinking.
"Cai Yong?" Li Ru asked in confusion.
"Why did he come to see the Prime Minister?"
Although Cai Yong did not openly oppose Dong Zhuo, and unlike other great Confucian scholars such as Wang Yun, he did not have a good face when facing Dong Zhuo. He was more like a minister who was extremely neutral.
However, because Cai Yong had previously allied with Liu Zhaoqing, after Liu Zhaoqing became the leader of the anti-Dong alliance, Cai Yong and Wang Yun were both transferred from their positions of power by Dong Zhuo and kept on guard.
"However, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song defected, but Cai Yong and Wang Yun both stayed in the capital... They must have other purposes, or... they are already focused on this."
While Li Ru was still wondering why Cai Yong dared to come and see Dong Zhuo at this juncture, Dong Zhuo had already made a decision after a little thought.
"Bring him here."
Dong Zhuo chose to meet Cai Yong.
Soon, Cai Yong was led by soldiers to the mansion which was protected by layers of defense.
After stepping over the threshold, Cai Yong was surprised to find that there were only Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in the hall.
The other counselor Jia Xu who accompanied Dong Zhuo was never seen, and even Lu Bu, who had basically always stayed by Dong Zhuo's side, was nowhere to be seen.
"Is there anything I can say, Mr. Cai Zhonglang?" Li Ru asked Cai Yong calmly.
Cai Yong bowed his head and saluted: "People in Luoyang are now saying that the Prime Minister... has been defeated and the people are not happy. I hope the Prime Minister will take measures to stabilize the situation."
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly when he heard this: "Does Cai Zhonglang have any good ideas?"
Cai Yong said quickly: "The order to mobilize troops should be made public to reassure the people, the ministers in the court, and His Majesty in the palace."
Li Ru thought about it and said, "It is indeed a good idea. You can ask His Majesty to issue an edict in person. After hearing that more than 100,000 troops are being dispatched to Luoyang, the court should no longer be in a state of panic."
His Majesty……
When Cai Yong heard these two words, his mind moved slightly, and then he asked, "I don't think I saw your majesty's carriage returning with the prime minister... Is it still on the way?"
This is actually the reason why Cai Yong came here in such a hurry.
Dong Zhuo returned, but the emperor's carriage was nowhere to be seen.
We can ignore Jia Xu, Lu Bu or other generals, but if something happens to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, that would be the end of the world.
"The carriage has been destroyed by Liu Zhaoqing." Dong Zhuo said calmly.
"Ah?" Cai Yong's eyes were filled with surprise. How could this be possible? Why would Liu Zhaoqing attack the emperor?
"However, the emperor is safe and sound, so you don't have to worry, Mr. Cai." Dong Zhuo continued, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the palace to see the emperor."
"In the palace?" Cai Yong was even more puzzled now.
Why is His Majesty in the palace again now?
