【Chapter 265】 Beheaded to kill (2)

In the main hall.

All officials in the court congratulated Wang Yun and Lu Bu in decent congratulations, while Emperor Liu Xie waved his hand to signal the young Huang Sector to move the chair that he had just removed yesterday to the hall again, and ask Wang Yun to take his seat.

Wang Yun stepped onto the platform with an excited expression, sat on the Taishi Chair with a red face, only a few steps away from the dragon chair, and was only three feet lower than the dragon chair. He looked down at the officials from a high place.

Wang Yun has longed for this kind of superior feeling. He had looked up at Dong Zhuo in the hall and looked down at all officials, including him, Wang Yun. At that time, he thought to himself: Dong Zhuo can sit above the dragon court, so that Wang Yun can one day stand on the platform and replace Dong Zhuo. Since he had this kind of longing, he thought about pulling Dong Zhuo off the platform and replacing him.

Now that all this has come true, the dream comes true. Wang Yun suddenly felt infinite passion and complacent in his heart. Today, all the power is in his hands, and every word and action can control the general trend of the world.

This feeling is so wonderful, it makes people fascinate and look down on the world!

However, when Wang Yun saw Lu Bu in the hall with a dim expression, the heat in his heart suddenly cooled down, and a surging hatred surged into his heart.

Yes, Wang Yun now has everything he wants, and personally saved the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is about to collapse, and is famous all over the world and will be recorded in history. But he lost his only daughter, Wang Ying, which left him alone, and the incense of the Wang family has been cut off since then. Even though he is the most powerful minister, what is the use of holding power in the world? He is still an old lonely man. No one is left behind!

Wang Yun is over 60 years old this year. Although he was born into the Wang family in Bingzhou, the Wang family has already withered under the turmoil of wars for many years. And his Wang Yun's lineage is the orthodox Wang family and the bloodline of the head of the family. Now that he is in charge of the world, there will naturally be family disciples who will be like each other. However, those people have weak blood ties with him, so it is better to be close to the emperor Liu Xie, who is sitting on the dragon throne. Because Liu Xie was born to the queen beauty of Wang Yun's brother, and is equivalent to Wang Yun's grandson. Unfortunately, although Liu Xie has blood ties with him, he is not a member of the Wang family, but a member of the royal family.

Sitting upright on the chair of the Grand Master. Wang Yun got what he wanted and felt inexplicably a kind of indescribable desolation, which turned into a vast hatred. The cold light in his eyes seemed to be about to choose someone and eat it.

At this moment, Chen Gong stepped out of the line and walked to the hall and reported the matter of surrender and comforting that had been discussed with Wang Yun last night. He asked the emperor to issue an edict to forgive Dong Zhuo's party and pardon many Xiliang generals led by Li Jue and Guo Si. The name of Wuwei Li Li suddenly appeared in Chen Gong's mouth. But whether it was intentional or other reasons, Chen Gong deliberately placed Wuwei Li Li's name behind and put it together with ordinary Xiliang generals. He tried to confuse the public and conceal the pass.

"No forgiveness!" Before Chen Gong finished reporting, Wang Yun suddenly stood up, walked slowly down the platform, and stood in front of the hall with a vicious face. He said sternly.

"Ah!" Chen Gong looked at Wang Yun in shock and immediately argued: "Taishou. This is something that I reported to you last night. The interests of the matter have been clearly stated. The Taishou personally promised this matter, but how can he go back on his word and break his word and become fat?"

Wang Yun ignored Chen Gong's panicked expression, turned around and bowed to Emperor Liu Xie, and then said to the officials with a proud look: "The traitor Dong Zhuo desecrated the court, chasing the palace, and killing the palace at will, and the crimes are overwhelming. Among the many crimes of Dong thieves, most of them were Li Jue and Guo Si who helped the evildoer to abuse. Over the past three years, they have killed so many loyal and kind-hearted people in our dynasty, and how many old ministers in the three dynasties were led to their troops to raid their families. Now if they pardoned the crimes of Li Guo and Guo, what is the power of the emperor? How can His Majesty and the officials of us have faced them? How can they intimidate the princes in the world?"

After saying these words, Wang Yun paused for a moment, then continued with a cold expression: "Wuwei Li Li, a concubine's son-in-law. This thief is Dong's son-in-law. He is close relative to Dong's thief, but he is actually a remnant of Dong's thief. He is unforgivable! What's more, the little thief Li Li is in a military force and is a disaster for Liangzhou and is far away from the capital. If this thief is not eliminated for a day, Chang'an City will be in peace and will be endless!

Therefore, Li Li, Li Jue and Guo Si cannot be pardoned. These three thieves are extremely vicious people. Not killing is not enough to quell the anger of the people, and not killing is not enough to quell the court. If they do not kill them, they cannot pacify Xiliang and stabilize the country and the country! I beg your Majesty to send an order to summon Li Li, Li Jue and Guo Si, the generals of the world, to kill them, to demonstrate the power of the emperor, to safeguard the people, and to pacify Xiliang. Kill the three thieves to serve as a warning to others!"

Wang Yunyi's stern words made all the officials whisper at each other. Most of them agreed with Wang Yun's words, believing that Li Li, Li Jue, Guo Si and others should be killed, but Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and more than ten officials who were good friends with Cai Yong looked hesitant and seemed to be swaying, and did not express their opinions immediately. Chen Gong, who was standing in front of Wang Yun, was blushed and embarrassed and angry, and was so angry that his cheeks were bulging, but he could not do anything about it.

At present, all officials in the court followed Wang Yun's horse, not to mention that he was in charge of the country and assisted the government, and had great power. Now Wang Yun went back on his word and decisively rejected the matter discussed last night. Even though Chen Gong had various reasons, he was futile and could not turn the world back.

Moreover, Wang Yun vetoed the memorial, which made Chen Gong seem smart, ignorant of the times, and deliberately showed off his strength, but ended up being disgraceful and flirting. Such embarrassment made Chen Gong very embarrassed and angry, wishing he could leave immediately, so as not to be embarrassed.

Seeing that most of the officials agreed with Wang Yun's words, and Emperor Liu Xie was quite moved and seemed to have an agreement, Chen Gong was anxious. Then he said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor, Li Li, Li Jue, Guo Si and others are all generals of Xiliang, holding powerful soldiers, brave and good at fighting, and extremely powerful. If they do not forgive their crimes, they will force them to the dead end. Once they are forced to raise an army to counterattack Chang'an, the situation will be out of control. Although Chang'an City is tall and strong, it cannot resist the strong attack of more than 100,000 Xiliang troops. If they are anxious to jump over the wall and attack the city day and night, then Your Majesty and the officials, such as the officials, may be in danger again, and their lives will be difficult to protect!"

Wang Yun turned a deaf ear to Chen Gong's words, shook his head disdainfully, and immediately shouted with confidence: "I have General Fenwei Lu Bu, why not be afraid of the Xiliang thief army!"

Wang Yun's resounding words made all officials agree, which prompted Emperor Liu Xie to readily agree to Wang Yun's words and immediately issued an order to kill Li Li, Li Jue and Guo Si. In addition to the three of them, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Duan Wei, and Dong Yue, Dong Huang, Li Ru, who escaped from the city, also appeared on the list of wanted arrests.

Seeing Wang Yun cover the sky with one hand, Chen Gong lowered his head and retreated back to his original position in disappointment. Standing among the officials, he looked dim and worried, shook his head and sighed, then closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Qi reported to the Grand Master, Cai Zhonglang requested to collect Dong Zhuo's body and bury him at Zhengyang Gate!"

It was time to retreat to the court, but he saw Wei Xu and others who were temporarily appointed as the captain of the camp and recovered from serious illness at the entrance of the hall and reported respectfully.

"Cai Zhonglang Cai Yong?" Wang Yun was surrounded by officials, and heard Wei Xu's words, and then he couldn't help but ponder, and then he said furiously: "Cai Yong dared to collect the body of Dong thief. This is to help the evildoer! I used to consider him as an old minister of the late emperor and forgive him for his crime of affair with Dong thief. Now he is obsessed and openly ignores His Majesty's edict. Wei Xu immediately arrested Cai Yong and was sentenced to prison. If he resisted, he would be executed on the spot!"

"No, I will take the order." Hearing Wang Yun's order, Wei Xu looked up at Lu Bu, saw him nodding slightly, then happily took the order and left with great strides.

"Tai Shi, Mr. Cai Yong is loyal to Your Majesty. How could he be a traitor? Besides, he is a great scholar in the world, with many former officials. If he kills him, he may be criticized." Seeing that Wang Yun was so murderous, he ordered people to kill him at any time, Chen Gong couldn't help but advise him again.

"There is no need to say much about the public platform. Cai Yong had a close relationship with Dong Zhuo before, and was the father-in-law of the thief general Li Li. Now he is even more indecisive. He openly asked Dong Zhuo's body to be buried in broad daylight. The crime is unforgivable and he should be killed!" Wang Yun didn't look at Chen Gong and said sternly in a decisive tone.

Seeing that Wang Yun was determined to act alone and could not listen to the advice at all, Chen Gong immediately followed Wang Yun and said nothing more. However, the worry and disappointment in his eyes became increasingly aggravated, his expression was quite uneasy, and there was still a trace of unbearable feeling between his eyebrows.

Cai Yong, a well-known scholar, was designated as a member of Dong Zhuo by Wang Yun and ordered to be executed on the spot. What happened to Wang Yun? How could he become so bloodthirsty overnight and be untrustworthy?

——————————————

When it was dawn, Cai Yong finally packed all the books and filled eighteen large wooden boxes.

During this period, Li Zhi kept holding the lights for Cai Yong, then sealed them in boxes and moved the wooden boxes into the cellar. It was not until the window was bright that he suddenly realized that it took him a whole night to pack up the book.

After storing the book, Li Zhi immediately stopped delaying and took Cai Yong over the wall, left Cai's mansion, and headed straight for Longxiang Li's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when he passed by Zhengyang Palace Gate, Cai Yong saw Dong Zhuo's body hanging on the palace gate and stopped immediately. Then he walked straight to the palace gate to pay tribute to Dong Zhuo. No matter how Li Zhi persuaded him, it was useless. In the end, he could only watch him walk to the palace gate.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yong cried at the palace gate and became more and more sad. He actually asked the guards to remove the corpse of Dong Zhuo's body. He wanted to bury Dong Zhuo's body. Fortunately, the corpse knew Cai Yong and did not dare to move. He did not make things difficult for him. He just persuaded him to leave with kind words.

But Cai Yong's temper was too stubborn, and he insisted on collecting Dong Zhuo's body. As a result, the captain had no choice but to beat Cai Yong, so he had to arrange for the soldiers to look at him. Then the captain turned over and went to report to the palace.

In the crowd less than fifty steps away from the palace gate, Li Zhi was suddenly mixed up. He was quite puzzled by Cai Yong's unexpected behavior. If he had not taken into account Li Li's order to bring Cai Yong back without any damage, he would have knocked Cai Yong unconscious on the spot and then took him out of the city. Unexpectedly, when he hesitated for a moment, Cai Yong ran straight to the palace gate and mourned Dong Zhuo, causing the originally arranged plan to leave the city to be complicated.

At this point, Li Zhi had to hide among the onlookers and act according to the opportunity. Apart from this, he had no choice but to protect Cai Yong's safety was his top priority and he would never fail. (To be continued)
