Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 284 The Disaster of the Party ([-])

Guided by the servants of the palace, Dong Zhuo came to the hall of the palace, and what he saw was Wang Guang who was reading a book under the oil lamp, so he quickly said respectfully to Wang Guang: "Dong Zhuo, my subordinate, pay homage to the lord!"

"It's Zhongying here? It's rare that you haven't forgotten the old man, but the old man has long since ceased to be the prefect, and he can't be called the mansion lord." Wang Guang put down the "Six Classics" in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, he He is 45 years old this year, but he is well maintained. He looks younger than the 28-year-old Dong Zhuo, like a young man in his early 20s.

"Whether you are the lord or not, you are the lord in my Dong Zhuo's heart for the rest of my life. Dong Zhuo only wishes to be the lord's subordinate for the rest of his life, and to serve the lord." Dong Zhuo was very emotional when he spoke, making people feel that he was serious. of.

As for his daughter, she was taken to a bedroom by the palace maid to rest just now.

"Hehe." Wang Guang smiled slightly, pointed to the mat beside him and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Dong Zhuo happily knelt on the soft mat and looked at Wang Guang obediently.

"Why did you come to my palace?" Wang Guangming asked knowingly.

"It's my Dong Zhuo's fault that I haven't been able to meet the lord for a long time. Today I just want to thank the lord in person. Thank you lord for promoting Dong Zhuo." Dong Zhuo said gratefully.

"Zhong Ying, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?" Looking at the flattering Dong Zhuo, Wang Guang laughed softly.

"Dong Zhuo... I don't know." Dong Zhuo originally wanted to say that his biggest shortcoming was that he did not have a good background and that he was not lucky enough to be reincarnated, but after thinking about it, he could only say such things in his heart, not in front of others, especially He couldn't say it in front of the son of the aristocratic family in front of him, so he had no choice but to say that he didn't know.

"You are too benevolent and cowardly." Wang Guang suddenly said this, and then continued to Dong Zhuo: "I have promoted many people, but they are all rushing to be appointed officials, and they all regard the old man as useless. people have forgotten."

"But you are different. You didn't rush to take office as an official, but you came to visit the old man on the first day."

"I appreciate your kindness, but you are so honest and kind, it is easy to suffer."

After Wang Guang finished speaking, he got up, walked to Dong Zhuo, patted the shoulder of Dong Zhuo who had stood up and saluted, and said earnestly to him, "Have a good rest, the burden of the common people in the world still needs to be carried by you."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Don't say anything, take a good rest, tomorrow you will go to the Habayashi Army to take up the post."

"Dong Zhuo...Understood!"

Seeing the back of Wang Guang leaving, Dong Zhuo was moved to tears.

For the first time, this is the first time in his life, someone from the noble family took the initiative to care for him.

Scholars in the past were all dismissive of him, but his old boss, Wang Guang, promoted him in the midst of his busy schedule, and even took time out to meet him.

"I, Dong Zhuo, am willing to go through fire and water for the Wang family!" The dark young man Dong Zhuo knelt on one knee and swore towards Wang Guang's leaving back: "If I, Dong Zhuo, betray the Wang family, let me, Dong Zhuo, die of betrayal!"

another few months later

Luo Yang
"These nobles deserve to die!"

"They all deserve to die!"

"They actually killed the officials appointed by me personally. What do they think of the court?"

"They think that the officials appointed by me are treacherous villains, so they can ignore the court's laws and directly kill the officials appointed by me?!"

"Keep catching! Keep killing!"

"If you dare to kill me, I will kill you!"

Seeing the situation of officials everywhere, Emperor Liu Zhi was very angry.

Because he was worried that the power of the gentry would continue to expand, he dismissed many gentry officials and replaced them with people recommended by the eunuchs.

As a result, many of the officials recommended by these eunuchs were killed by local gentry officials on various inexplicable charges as soon as they took office.

The gentry didn't pay attention to the imperial court at all.

Because I said they are traitors, so they are traitors, because they are traitors, so we can kill them directly, without asking the opinion of the emperor.

"good, very good!"

"It seems that I am too kind and too soft."

"I understand now. To deal with you group of scholars, you have to be like the domineering general Liang Ji. You have to kill so much that you are trembling and fear in your heart!"

"The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon!"

"I envied Liang Ji when I was a child, and slandered Liang Ji when I grew up. Now I am Liang Ji!"

"Anyone who talks about the right and wrong of the court will be killed without pardon!"

puff!
I don't know if it was because he was too angry, or his health was too poor, or a combination of both. As soon as Emperor Liu Zhi gave the order, he spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered while clutching his heart.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the emperor's appearance, the eunuchs on the side panicked. The emperor was their pillar. If the emperor died, the group of gentry would unite with their relatives to kill all the eunuchs.

However, the emperor died of illness in their panic after all.

……

One month later

The news of the emperor's death finally spread throughout Luoyang City, and the 12-year-old Jiedu Tinghou Liu Hong (Han Lingdi) became the emperor with the support of his relative Dou Wu.

Due to this, Dou's relatives were in power.

The Dou family can be said to be a family of old relatives. There was a relative of the Dou family in the former Han Dynasty, and there was also a relative of the Dou family in the Hedi period of the later Han Dynasty. Now there are still relatives of the Dou family in the Liu Hong period.

According to the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, when the new emperor came to the throne, his relatives were in power. After a few years, the grown-up emperor would unite with eunuchs to kill his relatives, thus entering the era of eunuchs in power. After the death of the emperor, the first half of the next new emperor's life It will re-enter the stage where the relatives are in power, and every time there is a change of power between the eunuchs and relatives, the new power will clean up the old power, and it will go round and round in an infinite cycle.

So this time is no exception.

Chen Fu
"Everyone, are you ready?" Chen Fan asked the scholars.

"Get ready, this time the eunuch will definitely be eradicated in one fell swoop." Yuan Kai replied.

"Gentlemen, if this palace coup fails, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame!" Dou Wu reminded that although he is a foreign relative, he wants to learn from the Wang family's relatives in the former Han Dynasty and completely stand on the side of the gentry .

"We must make sure that the plan is foolproof!" Yang Biao of Hongnong Yang said.

"I promoted a close friend to the Habayashi Army, one of the Imperial Guards, as an officer. At critical moments, I can mobilize some Imperial Guard soldiers to help." Wang Guang of the Liaodong Wang Clan said with a smile.

"Oh, may I ask Mr. Deyao, what is the name of this person you mentioned?" Yuan Kai asked.

"My surname is Dong, my first name is Zhuo, and my surname is Zhongying. Don't worry, everyone. If the emperor accidentally dies in an accident, we can also take the blame on Dong Zhuo. This is the one I arranged long ago." Guang smiled at the rest of the scholars.

"Mr. De Yao is far-sighted."

"Mr. Deyao is worthy of being one of the Eight Talents, and he is indeed a model for our generation of scholars."

A group of scholars praised Wang Guang.

Wang Guang smiled faintly. He specially promoted Dong Zhuo just for today, and specially brought Dong Zhuo to Luoyang to assist the scholars in launching a coup, and after the success of the coup, he used it to take a huge scapegoat for harming the emperor.
