After the abdication of the Young Emperor, he was trapped in the Yong'an Palace with Empress He and Concubine Tang, and there was a shortage of clothes and food; the Young Emperor kept crying and never did it. On this day, I occasionally saw a double swallow flying in the court, and the young emperor recited a poem. Poetry:
'The grass is green and smokey, and the swallows are flying in the air. Luoshui is green and envied by strangers. Looking deep into the clouds, it is my old palace. Whoever fights for loyalty and righteousness vents the resentment in my heart! ’
Although Dong Zhuo locked the Young Emperor deep in the palace and held great power, he was still wary and sent people to listen to the news from time to time. On this day, someone obtained this poem from the Young Emperor and hurried back to report to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw the poem, laughed fiercely, and said: "The verses are full of resentment, and I hope that someone will oppose me, and this time there will be a crime to kill." So he ordered Li Ru to take ten samurai into the palace and kill the young emperor.
The Young Emperor, Empress He and Concubine Tang were upstairs, and a palace maid returned Li Ru's arrival, and the Young Emperor was stunned. Li Ru brought wine to honor the Young Emperor, and the Young Emperor was uneasy and asked Li Ru why he sent the wine. Li Ru replied: "Spring is harmonious, and Dong Xiangguo is specially on shoujiu." The empress dowager was suspicious in her heart and said, "Since it is shoujiu, you can drink it first." When Li Ru heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Do you dare to drink?" The samurai put the short sword and white silk in front of the three young emperors and sneered, "If you don't drink shoujiu, you can take these two things!" ”
Emperor Li Ru
Concubine Tang knelt on the ground and lamented, "Concubines are willing to drink on behalf of the emperor, and may the public be able to save the lives of mother and son." Li Ruling said, "Who are you, and how can you die instead of the emperor?" So he raised the wine and handed it to Empress He and said, "Do you want to drink it first?" Empress He knew that her vitality was hopeless, and she couldn't help but scold: He Jin had no plot, lured thieves into Beijing, and caused today's disaster. Li Ru urged the Young Emperor to persecute him, and the Young Emperor was already desperate, and lamented, "Allow me to say goodbye to the Empress." "Crying and singing, song:
'Heaven and earth are easy to turn the sun and the moon upside down, and abandon the ten thousand multipliers and retreat to the domain.' Soon after the death of the courtier, the general trend went to the empty tears! ’
Princess Tang also sang the following song:
'The Emperor Heaven will collapse and fall, and as Emperor Ji, he will not follow his fate.' Life and death are different from now on, but I am sad in my heart! ’
The song stopped, and the two embraced each other and cried. Li Ruling said, "Xiang Guo is still waiting for a return, and you are deliberately delaying, do you still expect anyone to save it?" The empress dowager scolded: "Dong Thief forced my mother and son, the emperor is not blessed!" If you help the evil, you will destroy the nation!" Li Ru was furious when he heard this, grabbed the empress dowager with both hands, and directly threw her downstairs, and then drank the samurai and hanged Tang Concubine with white silk; and killed the young emperor with wine.
After Li Ru killed Emperor, he returned to inform Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo ordered people to bury the coffin of Tianzi outside the city. Since then, Dong Zhuo has entered the palace every night, raped the palace women, and stayed in the dragon bed overnight. Once Dong Zhuo led his army out of the city and marched to the Yangcheng area, it was February; the village was worshipping the gods of the land, and the male and female villagers gathered to worship. Dong Zhuo ordered the army to surround the villagers, and all the men were killed; the women and property were plundered, all loaded on the car, and more than a thousand human heads were hung under the vehicle. After Dong Zhuo returned to Beijing, he threatened to go out of the city to kill the thieves and return victoriously; he burned the heads of people outside the city gate, and the women and belongings he robbed were scattered to the army.
Yue Riding Lieutenant Wu Fu, Zi Deyu, seeing Dong Zhuo's cruelty, was resentful in his heart, wore small armor inside his imperial clothes, hid a short knife, and sought an opportunity to assassinate Dong Zhuo. One day, Dong Zhuo entered the dynasty, and Wu Fu greeted him down the stairs and pulled out a short knife to stab Dong Zhuo directly. Dong Zhuo's strength was very great, and he grabbed (grasped) Wu Fu's arm with both hands, and Lü Bu immediately followed up and knocked Wu Fu down. Dong Zhuo asked angrily, "Who taught you to rebel?" Wu Fu narrowed his eyes angrily and shouted, "You are not my king, I am not your subject, why should you have the opposite?" Your sins are heinous, and everyone is condemned!" I would hate to kill you with the torture of the car rift, to thank the world! Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered Wu Fu to be pushed out and tortured. Wu Fu cursed to the death.
Since then, Dong Zhuo has been doubly careful in and out, often with armor guards around him. At this time, Yuan Shao was in Bohai, and he heard that Dong Zhuo had gained power, so he secretly sent someone to bring a secret letter to see Wang Yun. The letter reads: "Dong Zhuoguo's thieves deceive the heavens and destroy the Lord, and people cannot bear to speak, but if they do not hear about it, will they repay the loyal ministers of the country?" Shao Jin gathered his troops to train his pawns, and wanted to sweep away the royal family, but did not dare to move lightly. If the public has a heart, it should be multiplied. If there is an impulse, it is ordered. The meaning of the letter was that he hoped that Wang Yun would secretly respond internally, waiting for the opportunity to eliminate the thieves, and Yuan Shao would train soldiers and horses and obey orders at any time. Wang Yun received Yuan Shao's secret letter and thought hard every day, but there was nothing he could do.
On this day, Wang Yun came to the Attendant Pavilion and saw that the old courtiers were all present, and Wang Yun said: "Today coincides with the birthday of the old man, and in the evening I dare to invite everyone to condescend to the house for a drink." All the officials should: "Come and wish for a happy birthday." That night, Wang Chong set up a banquet in the back hall of the mansion, and all the old ministers and secretaries of state also came. After several rounds of drinking, Wang Yun suddenly covered his face and cried. The officials quickly asked, "On the day of Situ's birthday, why are you sad?" Wang Yun said, "Today is not the birthday of the old man, but I just want to talk to everyone, but I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will be suspicious, so I use this as a pretext." Dong Zhuo deceived the lord and gained power, and the society was difficult to protect. I think that when Gao Zu destroyed Qin and Chu and unified the world, who wanted to pass it on to this day, but he would die at the hands of Dong Zhuo; I cried because of this. When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but cry.
Wang Yun wept and feasted
In the middle of the sitting, one of them clapped his hands and laughed: "Manchu Gongqing, crying until Ming at night, ming crying until night, can you still cry to death Dong Zhuo?" When Wang Yun looked at it, it turned out to be Cao Cao, a lieutenant of the Xiao Riding School. Wang Yun said angrily, "Your ancestors were also Han Dynasty Qilu, and now they don't want to repay the country, but they still want to make fun of it?" Cao Cao said, "I'm not laughing at anything else, I'm just laughing at you, there's no plan to kill Dong Zhuo." Although I am not talented, I am willing to immediately cut off Dong Zhuo's head and hang it above the capital gate to thank the world. Wang Yun listened, and his heart was overjoyed, and he got up and left the table to ask, "What is Meng De's high opinion?" Cao Cao said, "In recent days, I have been bending down to serve Dong Zhuo, but I actually took the opportunity to kill this thief." Now Dong Zhuo has a lot of trust in me, and I have the opportunity to get close to Dong Zhuo. I heard that the Situ family had a seven-star sword, and Lent me to enter the Xiang Mansion to assassinate Dong Zhuo as I wished, although I had no hatred in death. Wang Yunxi said, "Meng De is indeed a person with a heart, and the world is very fortunate!" "Personally pour wine for Cao Cao and serve him on the side."
Cao Cao spilled the wine on the ground and made an oath, and Wang Yun immediately took out the Seven Star Sword and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao hid the sword, drank another drink, got up and bid farewell to the officials. The officials sat down again for a while, and then they dispersed.
