villain

Chapter 463
The moon is white and the wind is clear.

Several groups of broken clouds drifted eastward with the gentle wind.

In the garden, the dead vines are entangled, and the small evergreen trees beside the wall are blooming beautiful gardenias, exuding a seductive, faint fragrance.

The grass on the ground has withered and yellowed.

With the autumn dew, if you are wearing a long robe, after walking on the grass, the skirt will definitely be wet and heavy.

Beside the candy, there is a row of houses.

Dong Bi was sitting on the knee-high wooden corridor, barefoot, wearing only a loose robe, leaning against a thick and thin colonnade, not saying a word.

Little Wenji knelt down beside him obediently, and poured the brightly colored wine into the wine glass carved from white jade.

Under the corridor, Chen Gong, Huang Xu, Gu Yong and other ministers of the Chengming Palace were all kneeling on the grass, prostrate, and no one made a sound.

"Get up!"

Dong Bi's voice was cold, unable to hear the joy and anger in his heart.

But the more so, the more afraid Chen Gong and the others dared to stand up.Chang'an City was right under their noses. As a result, when the Lanchi Camp entered Chang'an in the afternoon and searched the Buddhist temples, they found that [-]% of the Buddhist temples had hidden a lot of armor and ordnance.

As the Chief Minister of Chengming Palace, Chen Gong has an unshirkable responsibility.

So before Dong Biao came home, a group of people hurried to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and asked Dong Biao to punish him.

On the contrary, Dong Bi, after returning from Bailiangtai, showed a very calm attitude.

He was not angry, nor did he lose his temper.He just called everyone to the garden and asked, "Chang'an Buddhist Temple is flourishing, do you all know?"

In a word, Chen Gong and the others were prostrate on the grass, not daring to get up.

Dong Bi sighed, "Get up, I said, you can't blame you for this matter. The matter of the Buddhist temple ends here... a group of jumping clowns can't make any waves. Having faith is not a bad thing, but if you If it is not properly managed, it will eventually lead to catastrophe. The lessons learned from the Taiping Road in the past are still vivid in my mind. You have all experienced that disaster, and you should know that man-made disasters are better than natural disasters."

Chen Gongdao: "The lower officials are negligent, but they have not discovered that there is such a danger hidden in this Buddhist event... Tomorrow will be..."

Dong Bi smiled and said, "Don't talk about the destruction of Buddha. You can destroy those Buddhist temples and monks wearing Buddhist cloaks, but you can't destroy the Buddha in the hearts of the people. Blocking is worse than sparse. Since we can't stop it, we might as well go Strengthening restraint, good guidance... as long as you put your heart into it, bad things can also turn into good things. As for the specific regulations, the public platform and senior brothers may wish to study more and come up with suggestions as soon as possible."

"Here!"

"In addition, regardless of whether Buddhist affairs are good or not, they are not owned by our Han family. If it is about teaching people compassion and being kind to others... I think what Zhang Lu did in Hanzhong back then was very good. Support a group of people, beat a group of people, whoever Whoever can serve us can develop. However, there is a principle. Whether it is Buddhist affairs or the Five Dou Rice Religion, it must not be out of our control after all. If there is any bad sign, it must be suppressed immediately... There are some things that we need to look at more far-reaching, and the public platform should be more careful."

"The next official will respect the command of the governor!"

Speaking of this, a stone in Chen Gong's and others' hearts finally fell.

Dong Bi let them sit on the promenade, and ordered Xiao Wenji to pour a glass of wine for everyone, and then waved his hand to let Xiao Wenji leave.

Obviously, Xiao Wenji didn't seem to want to leave, but the old man stared carefully, and immediately left obediently.

"Little Wenji is getting slimmer and slimmer. In the future, I don't know whose man will be taken advantage of."

Gu Yong looked at Xiao Wenji's back and said to Dong Bi with a smile.A well-timed joke eased the embarrassment just now.

Dong Bi said: "It doesn't matter who you marry, as long as she can live happily and carefree for the rest of her life, I will be very happy."

After finishing speaking, Dong Bi took a sip of wine, "My lords, I want to know what happened to the guards?"

Gu Yong and Chen Gong looked at each other, and said softly: "The establishment of the Wei Army is a long story. When the lord fought fiercely in Luoyang, many clans came to join him. Later, Liu Xian served as the Chang'an order, and the emperor Shangshu said Therefore, the security of Chang’an cannot be completely relied on the army, after all, once something happens, it is not so convenient to mobilize all parties’ troops, so I suggest to set up a team under the yamen.”

Dong Bi frowned, "Go ahead."

"Liu Xianzuo suggested that the establishment of the guard army is not only suitable for Chang'an, but also suitable for the various places under Guanzhong. It is mainly to maintain the peace of the place and deal with emergencies. The cost is not much, but it can reduce the pressure on the garrisons in various places. According to the size of each place, the guard army can be as small as 800 people, as large as [-] people in Chang'an. All the necessary expenses will be paid by the local government offices, and it will not be a big problem for the court."

Dong Bi understands!

This so-called "Guard Army" is quite similar to the police officers of the later generations, or the local armed police in a more modern way.

Theoretically speaking, the appearance of the guards can indeed relieve a lot of pressure on the military, and it is also quite beneficial in terms of social security.

But the problem is that this team is out of control.

In this regard, it is undoubtedly a very huge trouble.Eight hundred guards can do many things if they occupy favorable terrain.Dong Bi harbored strong hostility towards this uncontrolled armed force, and even said that he was very disgusted with it.

"Liu Xian...it seems very difficult."

Dong Bi's words have something to say.He made up his mind to live up to Liu Bian.But it doesn't mean that he will be slaughtered... Back then in Luoyang, he experienced countless times of bloody storms and suffered a lot of calculations.So today, people who are out of control are always wary.

Liu Xian's ability to make such a suggestion shows that this person's mind is very unusual.

Fazheng led Dong Ji and listened beside him.

So he said: "My lord, the lower officials have paid attention to Liu Xian for a while. Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, many clans from all over the country have come to join him. However, Liu Xian said accurately that they did not belong to the clan, but Liu Biao was at the time. The envoy sent after returning to Jingzhou. This person once served as Liu Biao's valet... but he is quite mediocre, and he has not achieved any achievements during his five years in office."

It's an interesting remark.

Chen Gong, Gu Yong, Shitao and others were the first to hear the meaning hidden in Fazheng's words, and then Dong Bi also reacted immediately.

"Xiao Zhi said, is there someone behind Liu Xian?"

Fazheng was noncommittal, "After Liu Xian arrived in Chang'an, he didn't show too much wisdom at the beginning. It must be for this reason that Mr. Chen ignored him. When the emperor asked Mr. Chen to arrange Liu Xian, Mr. Chen appointed him Chang'an Order."

These words are not without the intention to excuse Chen Gong.

Fazheng already knew that he would be transferred to Youzhou in the next year, and he would be under the rule of Chen Gong in name.

In this regard, it is very important to establish a good relationship with Chen Gong first.

Chen Gong really gave Fazheng a grateful glance, although he didn't say anything, everything was in the air.

"Could it be that Liu Jingsheng is secretly manipulating it?"

"It's quite possible...since Liu Xian went up to set up the 'Guardian', the subordinate officials have ordered people to strictly control him. However, he has acted very cautiously and has not had any entanglements with any officials. Find out what he did wrong."

This is a kind of inertial thinking.

Liu Xian is from Jingzhou, so it is naturally related to Liu Biao.

Not only Fazheng thought so, but also Chen Gong, Gu Yong and others.

On the contrary, Dong Ji, who had been listening quietly, twitched his mouth slightly.This subtle movement was caught by Dong Bi's eyes all of a sudden.

Smiling slightly, "My son, what do you think?"

Dong Ji bowed and said, "Father, my child thought that Liu Xianshi might have nothing to do with Jingzhou."

"Oh?"

"Liu Jingsheng, he's just a man who loves fame and has nothing but appearances... Liu Xian is not a clan, how can he take it seriously? This time Liu Xian was sent to Chang'an, and he was just reciprocating. He may not have any intentions. If this person is ambitious, father How could he not have made any moves during the fierce battle with Cao Cao and Luoyang? He also has capable men under his command, and all he needs is a surprise attack on Runan, and the coalition forces will be in chaos."

Runan connects Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou...

Dong Ji's words are not unreasonable, and have attracted the attention of many people.

"Then what do I think?"

"My boy thought that Liu Xian must have an expert to guide him. It's just that the expert is not in Jingzhou, but by his side."

"Beside?"

Fazheng frowned and thought for a while, "It should be impossible. When Liu Xian came to Chang'an, there seemed to be no one else except for two teenagers. Those two teenagers, one was fifteen, and the other was only eight years old. As for his family, he should be appointed Liu Biao sent someone to bring it after the Changan Order."

Dong Ji smiled, "Fifteen... is enough to turn your hands into clouds and your hands into rain!"

Dong Bi thought for a while, "What are the names of those two boys?"

Among the Three Kingdoms, there are not many gifted children.If the people around Liu Xian were also gifted children, maybe they were really hit by Dong Ji.

Chen Gongdao: "There are two young men around Liu Xian. One is his nephew, Zhou Buyi, who is 15 years old; Fallen, met Liu Xianxian, and was adopted as a foster son by Liu Xian."

Kou Feng?Doubt Zhou?

To Dong Bi, the two names were obviously very unfamiliar.

But what Chen Gong said next surprised Dong Bi, "However, when Kou Feng was in the middle of the year, he took Liu Xian's surname and changed his name to Liu Feng."

Liu Feng?

Isn't that Liu Bei's godson?

It's messed up, like everything is messed up...

In Romance, although Liu Feng is not too outstanding, he is not a simple character either.And that week is not suspicious... Could it be that he is also a genius?
Anyway, Dong Bi now knows one thing.

There are too many flashes and falsehoods in that Boss Luo's romance.There is no doubt that Bao Buqi is a role he has forgotten this week.

"Xiaozhi, from today on, focus on Liu Xian and put my attention on those two boys."

While talking, Dong Bi glanced at Dong Ji.But he found that Dong Ji's eyes were shining brightly, as if he had already made up his mind...

If Zhou Buyi was really a formidable master, not much different from Dong Ji's age, he would definitely get Dong Ji's attention.

After that, everyone talked about a lot of things.

Chen Gong proposed to Dong Bi the matter of replenishing the manpower of Chengming Palace, because there are too many things to deal with after the war is about to end.With the energy of Chen Gong and Gu Yong, it is obviously a bit stretched.However, Dong Bi also had no solution to this problem.

After some discussion, Dong Bi decided to transfer Zhuge Jin from You Fufeng to Chengming Hall.

Chen Gong and others were sent away, but Dong Bi left behind Fazheng and Dong Ji.

"Xiaozhi, there are so many changes in Chang'an, why didn't you tell me?"

Fazheng scratched his head and smiled wryly, "The military adviser said, let them jump. Anyway, no matter how much they jump, they will never escape the master's grasp."

Dong Ji has been in Duyoubao for more than ten days, and he is well aware of Jia Xu's existence.

Therefore, Dong Bi did not hide him.From another aspect, Dong Bi also hopes to hear Dong Ji's own ideas.

Now that Jia Xu had made arrangements, Dong Bi stopped asking.Just like what he said earlier: I believe in you, I use you!
It was already late, and Fazheng stayed overnight in the Governor's Mansion.

In the garden, only Dong Bi and Dong Ji's father and son were left.Dong Bi asked suddenly: "Liu Jin, how do you feel these days?"

"Good!"

Dong Ji hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it... There are only you and my father and son here. Is there anything else to worry about?"

"My child always feels that the power of a military adviser is a little too great?"

Dong Bi was startled, looked at Dong Ji, and smiled after a while, "Liu Jin, Daddy is not as smart as you, and he is not as wise as Chen Gong and the others. But Daddy knows that he is not suspicious of employing people, and not suspicious of others. Although the military division is cunning, he He is always your father's military adviser, you need to consult him frequently."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed Dong Ji's head.

"There is one more thing I want you to deal with."

"what's up?"

"It's related to your sister!" Dong Bi hesitated, and said softly: "From what your mother said, your sister seems to have a close relationship with a certain student from the county school?"

"Daddy is talking about the grandson of the palace?"

Dong Bi nodded, "Although your sister is smart, she hasn't experienced many things after all. Sometimes... Dad hopes that your sister will be happy all her life, and doesn't want her to be wronged. You can check for me, the student's background. If there is a problem..."

Dong Bi didn't say the following words, and narrowed his eyes.

Dong Ji already understood what Dong Bi meant, and said softly: "Father, please rest assured, the child will definitely investigate the eight generations of the grandson's ancestors."

I heard that Dong Ji and Gongsun have a good relationship.

Dong Bi thought that if it was him, he would not be so cruel.Perhaps, what the military adviser said was true.

This kid... is very suitable!
******
The massacre at the Daen Buddhist Temple did not appear as many people imagined.

That night, it was reported in the palace that Liu Bian angrily reprimanded Tu Cheng and ordered him to deal with him thirty.At the same time, the Buddhist temples in Chang'an were inspected one by one, and many Buddhist temples that were actually hidden under the pretext of offering Buddhist services were exposed.All those involved were imprisoned in prison.

The host of Daen Buddhist Temple died strangely on the second night.

No one is pursuing this matter.As if this person does not exist in this world.

After Xia Houman was brought back to Dong's mansion, Dong You immediately recognized that he was the guy who was chased and beaten by the monks of Da'en Buddhist Temple during the day.Was it because of Xia Houman that Dong Shuo was hacked?It seems a little unusual for Daen Buddhist Temple to mobilize so many people to arrest people.

However, Xiahouman fell into a coma after arriving at Dong's mansion due to the heavy punishment.

Fortunately, thanks to Keats' treatment, Xia Human finally woke up after the third day.After waking up, he immediately yelled to see Dong Pi.

However, Dong Bi is not in the mansion.

Dian Wei led the army and horses to Chang'an, and Dong Bi could no longer be as leisurely as before, being annoyed by cumbersome government affairs every day.

Dian Wei... is now the father of five sons and one daughter!
In addition to his son Dianping, who was born almost at the same time as Dong You, Zou also gave birth to a son and a daughter for Dianwei. The son's name is Dianxiu, who is six years old.

At the beginning of the Luoyang War, Zou became pregnant again.

But Dian Wei didn't know at the time that the child was born during the Luoyang War, but it was a daughter named Dianyuan.Don't get me wrong, this "Yuan" has nothing to do with Dong Yuan, but Dian Wei's dead wife has Yuan in her name, so Dian Wei used it to commemorate his dead wife.

The daughter looks... more like Zou.

Of course, if he looks like Dian Wei, then there will be a big problem!
Just over one year old, he is lively and lovely.After Dian Wei came home, he immediately hugged his daughter and laughed for a long time, feeling very proud.

After Dong Bi participated in Dian Wei's new year's drink made up by Dian Yuan, he was free.

When I got home, I heard that Xia Houman was looking for him.

Dong Bi came to the room where Xiahouman lived. When Xiahouman saw Dong Bi, he immediately got up and saluted Dong Bi.However, Dong Yu stopped him.

"Are you a family member of General Xiahou? Why are you living on the street and being arrested by people from the Daen Buddhist Temple?"

Xia Houman's identity, Dong Bi has sent someone to find out.This guy's surname is not Xiahou, and he is a naturalized Hu, to be precise, a naturalized Wusun.When he was in the Western Regions, he had already followed Xiahoulan and took Xiahoulan's surname.This person is born with strong martial arts and a pair of swift legs, making a pair of cooked copper sticks weighing more than a hundred catties, among the guards, there are few opponents.

When Xiahoulan and Dianwei confronted each other, Xiahouman was not in Chang'an due to business.

Otherwise, Dian Wei would not be so relaxed... When Xia Houlan sent troops to Luoyang, although Tong Yuan protected Liu Bian, he still left Xia Houman in Chang'an.It is said that besides Liu Bian and Tong Yuan, Xia Houlan's most trusted person is this Xiahouman
Hearing Dong Bi's inquiry, Xia Houman burst into tears.

"Great governor, my master died wrongly, please ask the governor to avenge my master!"

With a thump in his heart, Dong Bi's drunkenness suddenly sobered up a lot.He waved his hand to signal Dong Tie to go out, and in an instant the room was full of fighters.

"Didn't your master commit suicide?"

Although he knew that this was not true, Dong Bi made a strange expression, and at the same time, his eyes were tightly locked on Xiahouman's face.

"My master is a hero of today, how could he commit suicide for no reason? The governor, my master, was murdered to death..."

"Oh?"

Xia Houman knelt on the couch and cried: "After the master was pardoned by the emperor, he returned to the mansion. At the beginning, the master looked fine... But after about a month after coming back, he became very preoccupied. The villain once asked Master, what made the master unhappy? The master did not answer, but asked the villain, "Heitou, what kind of person do you think the governor is?"

Dong Bi smiled and said, "How do you answer?"

Xiahouman hesitated for a moment, "I replied at the time that the governor is the most wicked person in the world... because the governor is the enemy of the master."

Dong Bi smiled even more happily, without the slightest hint of displeasure.

This Xiahouman is really a straight person.Even if you make it up, it's fine to tell a lie.However, Dong Bi likes straight intestines.

Xiahouman said: "The master told me at the time that it would be great if good and evil were so easy to distinguish... Although the governor is evil, he is evil in an upright way. It is not like some people who say one thing in the open and another in the back. The master also It is said that the evil of villains is actually the most terrifying."

Speaking of this, Xia Houman scratched his head and said: "But the villain half understands what the master says."

"Okay, let's talk about the rest."

Xia Human stabilized his mood, and then said: "About ten days before the accident, the master... One day, he came to me secretly. At that time, it was already very late... Well, it was around the second watch, I was sleeping in a daze. The master took a package and handed it to the villain... Then he said: Heitou, find a way to leave tomorrow and hide in Chang'an.

The villain was surprised at the time, so he asked: Why did the master want me to leave? Don't you want blackheads?
The master's smile was very strange. I didn't know until later that the master had already predicted that something would happen... He said to the villain: Heitou, don't ask so many questions.After looking for a place to hide, when did the governor come back, and I was fine at that time, so come find me again.However, once something happens to me, you must hide well.After the governor returns to Chang'an, you will hand over the parcel to the governor. "

Dong Yu's heart sank.

Xia Houman continued: "At that time, the villain didn't understand what the master meant when he said something happened... But the master said: Hei Tou, you must promise that even if you die, you will protect this package for me... If, if that's the case, after you see the governor, tell him to be more careful. If the governor is willing to take you in, you have to follow the governor just like you follow me."

Having said that, Xiahouman burst into tears again.

Dong Bi closed his eyes, only feeling that there was an urge in his heart that was almost irresistible.

He couldn't tell what kind of impulse it was, but his body seemed to explode, which made him unable to keep calm.

Xia Houlan, what have you discovered?
After much difficulty, Xiahouman stopped crying, "The villain, on the second day, when he was going to be on duty in Weiyang Palace, he hid it according to what the master said. The master gave me a lot of money, so I'm not afraid of anything Trouble. I found a place next to the gate of Bacheng, and I stayed at home on weekdays, and asked a dumb old man to bring me food every day... Later, I heard that something happened to the master!
It is said that the master committed suicide because of Luoyang's defeat, but the villain doesn't believe it.

But the villain did not dare to forget what the master had told him... After waiting and waiting, he finally heard the news that the governor was going back to Chang'an.

The villain wanted to sneak out to find the chief governor.But unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he was stared at by the bald donkey from Daen Buddhist Temple. "

So that's the case... It seems that Xia Houlan's death was quite complicated.

Dong Bi looked at Xia Houman, and after a long time, he asked, "Heitou, let me ask you, where is the package your master gave you?"

"The villain didn't dare to take the package with him, so he hid it under the shrine in the ancestral hall next to the gate of Bacheng."

Ha, this guy is not stupid!
Dong Bi stood up, went to the door, and called Dong Tie. After whispering a few words in his ear, Dong Tie nodded, and turned away with more than a hundred fighters.This time Tucheng dealt with the monk so happily, he probably didn't know that the monk had already caught Xiahouman.

It is not difficult to understand that the monk must want to claim credit. After arresting Xiahouman, he will be tortured and interrogated to find out the result, and then go to report.

It's a pity that before they could react, Dong Bi led his men to Da'en Buddhist Temple.The participating monks were killed cleanly.

Thinking of this, Dong Bi couldn't help clenching his fists.

It seems that someone is really targeting him, trying to do some conspiracy... However, I am not afraid, if there is any trick, use it!

Turning around, Dong Bi looked at Xia Houman, and said in a deep voice, "Hei Tou, now that your mission has been completed, what are your plans?"

Xia Houman prostrated himself on the couch, and said loudly: "Please the governor to avenge the master, the villain is willing to be an ox or a horse, and repay the kindness of the governor."

"My family has no shortage of cattle and horses!"

Dong Bi laughed...

This guy is very good, if he is trained properly, he will be a good player in the future.

"The matter of General Xiahou is no longer just a personal grievance, but involves the interests of all parties. However, I can guarantee that General Xiahou will not die in vain. One day, I will let everyone involved suffer. to retribution.

However, before that, you need to be patient.

Well, you stay in my house.In case of any situation, I will also tell you... In normal times, you can follow my two boys. "

Xia Houman already knew that when he was attacked outside the Da'en Buddhist Temple, the two teenagers who acted righteously were Dong Pi's sons.

After hearing this, Xia Houman agreed without hesitation, "The villain will definitely protect the two young masters and never allow anyone to bully them again."

Bully them?

It's a good thing those two boys don't bully others...

Suddenly felt that it was appropriate to keep Xia Houman by Dong Shuo and Dong You's side?These three stunned people are together, ha, God knows what will happen.

Dong Bi laughed, "In this case, after your injury is healed, you can report to the two of them yourself. As for other things, don't bother with me."

Xia Houman prostrated himself on the couch, and said respectfully: "The villain understands!"

The next update will be around ten o'clock.
