The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 7: Xun You? It’s Okay Not to Save Him
Situ is in charge of people's affairs.

Regarding matters concerning teaching the people to be filial, respectful, submissive, modest and frugal, and regarding preserving health and attending to the dead, we should discuss the system and establish the standards.

All civil affairs in all directions are reported to the palace at the end of the year and rewards and punishments are determined.

In all matters concerning suburban sacrifices, he is in charge of inspecting and cleaning the sacrificial animals.

Whenever there are major doubts or major events in the country, discuss the important matters with the Grand Marshal and the Minister of Works!

Wang Yun never thought that one day he would be able to become Si Tu, one of the three highest officials of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, he had never thought that his job as a Situ would be so difficult.

Walk from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Walk from Chongde Hall to Weiyang Palace.

Every step Wang Yun took was like walking on thin ice, not knowing when the ice under his feet would break and he would fall into the bottomless abyss.

And Wang Yun had a hunch that today...might be that day!
Holding the purple ribbon symbolizing the Three Dukes tightly, the sweat in his hands had already soaked the precious dye on it.

The cloves that had been in my mouth the whole time were not moistened at all.

With his lower lip trembling slightly, Wang Yun followed the eunuch, walking closely on the steps of the Weiyang Palace.

He never thought that this journey would be so long.

It seems to be longer than the distance from my hometown Qi County to Luoyang.

When he stepped onto the last step, he felt as if his body was hollowed out and almost fell down.

The eunuch on duty today was a smart man. When he saw Wang Yun was about to fall, he quickly went over to help him.

"Why is Situ sweating so much?"

The eunuch was a little puzzled.

It's only March now, why are you sweating so much?
"Just now, His Majesty summoned Lu Bu to the palace, and he was sweating like Situ. Is it hotter outside the palace than inside?"

The eunuch's words made Wang Yun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally die.

He thought he understood Lu Bu, but he was a man of courage but no strategy.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed the soldiers under Lu Bu's command to complete the final blow to kill Dong, Wang Yun would never want to deal with Lu Bu in his life.

How could such a crude warrior have any faith? At this moment, he must have revealed his plan.

This time I came here to gather intelligence, and I was afraid that I would run into Dong Zhuo's trap.

The gate of Weiyang Palace is still so deep that you can't see the end when looking from the outside.

Wang Yun already had a premonition that Lu Bu's head must have been chopped off at this moment.

Lu Bu's eyes must have been staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

It’s just like the countless heroes who tried to kill Dong Zhuo but failed!
Thinking of this, Wang Yun suddenly straightened his chest.

If he could denounce Dong Zhuo before his death and wash away the stigma of serving Dong for the past two years, then it would be a worthy death!
Wang Yun used all his strength to cross the highest threshold of the Weiyang Palace and walked straight inside.

Ok?
Why is the Weiyang Palace, which used to be free of smoke and dust, shrouded in white fog today?

Could it be that Dong Zhuo had become so mad that he set up a huge cauldron in the main hall of the Weiyang Palace and boiled himself to death?

"Situ is here? Come quickly! It's better to come at the right time than to come early! Come quickly!"

The imagined bloody scene did not appear.

What was stewed in the big cauldron was not Lü Bu's flesh and blood, but various vegetables such as leeks, leeks, shallots, onions, and some meat.

Emperor Liu Xie was an extremely diligent emperor.

Just now, Lu Bu came and he wanted to go down to greet him in person.

Then when Dong Zhuo came, he would go down to greet him in person.

Now that Wang Yun had arrived, Liu Xie still came to the steps to greet him in person.

"Why are you here today, Situ? Come and have a look. I just invented a delicious dish called hotpot! It's very delicious! Come quickly!"

Liu Xie was quite enthusiastic and came over to hold Wang Yun's hand: "Since you know, I have been suffering from illness and have a poor appetite. Today, I finally have an appetite and want to eat some meat." "I know Fengxian is from Jiuyuan, Wuyuan County, and the mutton there is the most delicious, so I asked him how to eat it."

"Fengxian said that the Hu people outside the Great Wall have a way of eating meat called shabu-shabu, so I tried it and found it was really amazing!"

"It just so happens that I miss the Grand Tutor again, so I summoned him to the palace to taste it with me!"

As he was speaking, Liu Xie had already brought Wang Yun to the big cauldron and personally scooped out a few thin slices of mutton for him.

"This lamb is delicious, but the dipping sauce is not good enough. I can only use the meat sauce I usually use instead. Situ, come and try it!"

Just like that, Wang Yun sat down in a daze and ate the mutton in the bowl in a daze.

Ok?
You know what, this tastes really good!
The milky aroma is everywhere, and the lips and teeth are fragrant!
Even without dipping sauce, the meat tastes exceptionally delicious!
The issue is……

Wang Yun looked at the mutton in the bowl in confusion——

That's it?

Just because of this matter, Liu Xie called Dong Zhuo all the way from Meibao?
Dong Zhuo was so cruel. The emperor ordered Dong Zhuo around like this. Wasn't he afraid that Dong Zhuo would go crazy?

Wang Yun carefully raised his eyes, wanting to see Dong Zhuo's expression.

Unfortunately, there was also a large cauldron in front of Dong Zhuo. The large amount of mist rising from the cauldron completely covered Dong Zhuo's face, making it impossible for Wang Yun to see clearly.

The same goes for Lu Bu.

And the position where Wang Yun sat seemed to be chosen by Liu Xie specifically for him, perfectly shielding his sight with the boiling mist in the cauldron...

Could it be... that everything is fine? Your Majesty just wants to eat meat?

Wang Yun found this extremely absurd.

The moment before, he was ready to die.

The next moment, you tell him that he was just scaring himself?

Are things in this world really so bizarre?

Liu Xie, who was sitting next to Wang Yun, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Yun's expression gradually relax.

I am such a clever little fellow!
Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were not the kind of people who could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis.

Whatever these two people are thinking is reflected in the expressions on their faces.

If Wang Yun came in and saw their faces, he would definitely guess that he had been exposed.

And letting Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu hide seems to be a bit of a cover-up.

It would be better to boil a pot of water and use the mist to cover their faces.

In this way, even if Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were glaring at Wang Yun with gritted teeth, Wang Yun would not notice.

"Situ, Situ?"

Liu Xie called out twice and asked again: "Why is Situ here? Did you hear that the Grand Master had entered the palace and came to see him because you missed him?"

Actually, it’s not impossible to say that.

But it seems a bit too deliberate.

Although Wang Yun entered the palace at this time to gather intelligence, he could not say it clearly.

"Of course not. I have a private matter to report."

"What private matter?"

Of course, this was a reason Wang Yun had thought of in advance.

Wang Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks and performed the ceremony of a subject.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty, and also ask the Grand Master, to release the famous scholars Xun You and Xun Gongda who were imprisoned in the prison a few days ago!"

"Humph!"

When he heard this name, Dong Zhuo finally couldn't help it!
In the face of Liu Xie's heartbroken eyes, Dong Zhuo threw another precious jade cup to the ground: "How dare you beg for mercy for this ruthless person!"
