Chapter 67 Officials

Dong Zhuo's eyes were fierce and his head was raised, and he laughed loudly, "You dare to obstruct the national plan? I just want to see how many people support and oppose it. Hehe, there are indeed treacherous slander jumping out."

He turned around and shouted to Emperor Liu Xie, who was sitting in the middle, and said, "Emperor, you can see these traitors who disregard the national fortune and want to stop the capital from moving. They may ruin their own comfort and wealth, just for personal consideration. Their intentions are to be punished! Emperor, what should these evil people do?"

The child Emperor Liu Xiezhan said tremblingly, "What should the Prime Minister think he should do it?"

Dong Zhuo faced all the civil and military ministers, narrowed his eyes and said in a dark voice: "The country will be treacherous and slandered. According to the emperor's order, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and Xun Shuang will be dismissed from the court. The three thieves, including Yang Biao, Huang Wan and Xun Shuang, were dismissed from the court. The person who came will drive the three out of the court!"

Yang Biao smiled miserably, pointed at Dong Zhuo, and scolded loudly: "A traitor, moved the capital by himself, destroyed the ancestral temple, and displaced people. You will die without a place to bury your body, and your corpse will be intoxicated for thousands of years!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and shouted, "Yang Biao, I respect you, respect you, and speak lies again. Don't blame me for killing you, and it will harm your family even more."

Yang Biao was frightened and shook his sleeves. He was escorted by Jingua Warrior and Xun Shuang hurried out of Deyang Palace.

Dong Zhuo also shook his long sleeves, held his fat belly, looked around coldly, and said, "Don't you agree? No objection, then let's prepare."

Your Highness, both civil and military officials, bowed their heads quickly and did not dare to look at Dong Zhuo.

At this time, His Highness went out of the line, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and said, "Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo opened his eyes and saw that it was the Grand servant Wang Yun. He showed a fierce look on his face, smiled coldly, and said, "Wang Yun, I treat you well, are you going to object?"

Wang Yun trembled suddenly and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, Yun Fei is offering advice to the Prime Minister to prevent the Prime Minister from moving the capital."

Dong Zhuo looked slightly and said, "Taofu, please get up quickly...what is there any plan?"

Wang Yun said respectfully: "The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is committed to moving the capital, because it is to avoid the fierce soldiers of the Kwantung and to keep the Han Dynasty's fortune. Yun has a plan that will make the Kwantung evil people collapse without fighting."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and shouted anxiously, "I just said that the Grandpa is loyal to the country, and the plan will be released? Tell me quickly?"

"Enjoy an official!" Wang Yun said respectfully.

"Enjoy the official?" Dong Zhuo's face changed drastically and he roared with a ferocious roar, "Those thieves attacked me Luoyang and seized my pass. I will also be granted an official to them? Wang Yun, is it because you bully me Lao Yu?"

Wang Yun bowed in panic and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, how dare Yun deceive the Prime Minister? Listen to me..." Seeing that Dong Zhuo stopped roaring, Wang Yun took a breath and continued: "Entering an official is a plan of separation. Perhaps they will be resentful of their official positions, they will fight in their own pockets, and they will fight each other, and then they will collapse without fighting."

After hearing Wang Yun's proposal, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look at Li Ru among the civil officials. Li Ru nodded. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted: "This plan is great, just as the Taipu said. Today, you and Wenyou will join in to decide the official positions and titles of the thieves of Guandong and give them to them."

Wang Yun was overjoyed, bowed again, and then said carefully: "Prime Minister, can the move to the capital be slowed down?"

Dong Zhuo glared at him and shouted: "It has been a conclusion to move the capital to Chang'an, so you can't wait any longer! Retreat the court! Go and prepare yourself."

Wang Yun was stunned for a while before saying, "Yes..." He lowered his head sadly, feeling deeply sad: "It is impossible to move the capital, moving the capital is unavoidable."

He staggered out of the hall, feeling lost.

Suddenly, a soothing and calm voice came from behind: "Master, stay!"

Wang Yunyi turned back with his body hunched over, but hurriedly came straight. He hurriedly squeezed out his smile, bowed and said, "Wenyou, what's the matter with calling Yun?"

It turned out to be Li Ru. Li Ru's eyes were shining and staring at Wang Yun, as if he was about to penetrate Wang Yun's heart. Suddenly, he smiled brilliantly, stroked his short beards and said, "Master Taipu, my father-in-law just asked my father-in-law to discuss with me the official positions and titles to those Guandong heroes. Is the Taipu forgetting? Is there something wrong with the Taipu?"

Wang Yun was shocked and said without a word, "It's okay, I just thought it was not urgent, and moving the house was important, so I hurried home and packed my clothes."

"The family matters will be handled by the servants. The servants are better than us to discuss the official title first!" Li Ru smiled, his eyes still like arrows and lightning.

Wang Yun said, "Just according to Wenyou." So the two of them walked towards the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's Mansion together.

Soon, the two agreed on the titles and official positions of the twenty princes. The soldiers and horses in each town were rewarded. When they saw it, they were very happy!

Wang Yun stared at the imperial edict, "Shouzhang County Magistrate Song Jiang was promoted to the Prime Minister of Dongping, Zhengwei, and was given a salary of 2,000 stones." He sighed in his heart: "Song Jiang, Song Jiang, I, Wang Yun, have never met you. I respect you for your far-reaching strategy, be loyal and righteous, and love the people. I can only help you here."

After writing the yellow silk imperial edict, Dong Zhuo asked Emperor Han Liu Xie to stamp the jade seal and handed it to Hulao Pass.

...

As soon as he returned to the Taipu Mansion, Wang Yun hurriedly called a caring servant and said, "According to the address, go to a hotel in Dongcheng to find someone, named Yan Qing, and ask him to come and see someone quickly, hurry!"

The servant asked urgently all the way, and entered Dongcheng a hotel near the foot of the city. The small hotel was quite dilapidated, with few drinkers, and only a thick woman sat on the cabinet waiting. The servant asked, "I wonder if Yan Qing can be here?"

The thick woman was Gu Dasao, the deputy general of the special agent camp. When she saw someone asking Yan Qing, she couldn't help but say vigilantly: "Who are you?"

The servant said, "The villain is a servant in the Taifu Wang Yun Mansion. The servant ordered the villain to come here to find Yan Qing. I wonder if there is someone?"

"Yes, I am." Suddenly, the coarse curtain on the back door was lifted up, and a handsome Confucian scholar stepped out. It was Yan Qing, a prodigal son. He heard someone looking for him, and he heard that it was Wang Yun, the Grandpa, who found out that the major incident of Luoyang's capital had indeed happened, so he hurriedly walked out.

The servant bowed his hand and said, "Please ask Yan Qing to the Taifu Mansion and his party. The villain master will look for you for urgent matters."

"Okay, let's go now." Yan Qing didn't say much nonsense.

Once again, Yan Qing couldn't sigh at the study of the Taipu Mansion. After a few cases, Wang Yun had already spoken dejectedly: "Yan Qing, what you said is true. The Dong thief really ignored the country's ancestral temple and really wanted to move the capital!" After only half a breath, Wang Yun of Taipu was already much older and haggard.

He murmured, "I hate so much. I hate myself for not being brave enough to refute it to the Taiwei Situ and others. Even if I demoted it to the people, I have a clear conscience..."

Yan Qing heard the murmur of the Taipu and bowed and said, "Mr. Taipu, there is no need to regret. Some people slapped the table and refuted justice and scolded the traitors and angrily, are heroes; some people raised the banner of righteousness, fought on the battlefield, and killed the traitors and slandered; however... Some people are loyal and righteous, deliberately meandering, enduring humiliation and heavy blows, are also heroes! Taipu, with a sense of justice in his heart, cares about the royal family, and misses the people. Being able to stay in the court is to have a better chance to drive away the traitors in the future."

Wang Yun's eyes lit up, he clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Yes, endure humiliation and burden, I have to endure it for so long, and I still have to endure it. In order to find an opportunity to eliminate treacherous and slanderous people, I will be in charge of the court."

He looked up at Yan Qing, his eyes full of gratitude, and said for a moment: "Yan Qing, your lord is so lucky. Of course, your lord is also a talented person and a loyal and righteous person. What you said in the past is not false. Today, someone used a trick to make Dong Zhuo move the official title of your lord Song Jiang, and give him the title of Prime Minister of Dongping, General Zhenwei, and his salary was 2,000 shi. He said that if you know, you can report it to your lord quickly... Alas, it's better not to report it, the imperial edict will be reached today. The allied forces are already outside Hulao Pass, only fifty miles away from Luoyang."

Yan Qing was overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Thank you, the Grand Master, for helping my master. Yan Qing will report it to the master truthfully."

Wang Yun waved his hand and said tragically: "If you don't report, it's unknown whether we can leave Luoyang. Dong Zhuo will definitely be martial law in the whole city when he gets off tonight, and the city will be locked in the door."

Yan Qing looked left and right, bowed his hand, and whispered: "Taifu, after leaving that day, Yan Qing did not dare to contact the elders of the capital in order to prevent leakage. However, Yan Qing led his brothers to gather hundreds of loyal and righteous men, and kept digging a passage from my hotel to lead directly to the city. Once Dong Zhuo arrested people and moved the capital, it could be transferred."

Wang Yun's eyes lit up again and he said, "Luoyang City is high and the river is deep. Yan Qing can dig a passage, but it is difficult to do it."

Yan Qing smiled and said, "The hardships are insignificant. With this passage, it is worth hiding people and transferring materials. The good servant knows that Xun You, the Minister of the Huangmen, used this passage to come out of Luoyang. He must have been waiting for my lord outside Hulao Pass now."

Wang Yun clapped his high and sighed, "I am a congratulatory minister Xun. He is foolish on the outside and wise on the inside, weak on the outside and strong on the inside. He is a great talent for Wang Zuo. This escape made Dong Zhuo vicious, and God opened his eyes. No, it is another contribution of your lord!"

Yan Qing bowed and said respectfully, "Please escape from the passage tonight."

Wang Yun shook his head and said, "I have always been flattering Dong Zhuo. Dong thief treats me very much, so he doesn't need to escape."

Yan Qing said again: "The son of the servant can go with me."

Wang Yun still shook his head: "If there are fewer descendants of the old master, then Dong Zhuo would suspect that he had a strange intention, not to mention that he had no worries about his life, why should he run away?"

Yan Qing hesitated for a moment and bowed and said, "I'm migrating to Chang'an and going all the way. Why don't you ask the women of your mansion to escape with us?"

Wang Yun shook his head and said, "The people are displaced. So what about the family of my husband?"

Yan Qing sighed secretly and bowed and replied, "So, what else can the servant have to do?" He felt sad, and that beautiful face could not be gone in front of him.

Wang Yun asked, "Are you going to leave the city tonight?"

Yan Qing shook his head: "We don't leave the city, we just hide in the tunnel. We wait for the fire to burn in Luoyang and the soldiers in Xiliang disperse. We are working to put out the fire and save things."

Wang Yun praised: "Your lord is a true hero, and Wang Yun admires you."

He thought for a while and said, "How many people can walk through the passage?"

Yan Qing replied: "The passage is narrow, and one person can pass by, but not many people can be given away. What's more, if there are too many people, it will definitely alert the thieves in Xiliang."

Wang Yun said, "Okay, there are a few loyal and loyal people who are in the throne of death, and I have to inform you and help them escape. Because once the capital is moved, Dong Zhuo will kill him."

"Yes! The passage is excavated for such a task. To save one is a success." Yan Qing bowed and said respectfully.
