The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 8 Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!

Tsk.

Scolding me!
Master Dong is really good at using veiled accusations against others!
Liu Xie knew clearly that Dong Zhuo must still be resentful of him for stopping him from killing Wang Yun right away.

On the surface, Dong Zhuo was saying that Wang Yun was shielding Xun You, but in fact he was saying that Liu Xie was shielding Wang Yun.

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

This is what Grand Tutor Dong really thinks at this moment.

Wang Yun was frightened by Dong Zhuo's sudden rage.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was usually quite irritable, and Wang Yun only thought that it was his mention of Xun You that aroused Dong Zhuo's anger, and did not think of himself at all.

"Grand Master, Xun You is, after all, a famous scholar throughout Guandong, and he is from the Xun family of Yingchuan, a role model of the gentry. Although he was tempted to harm the Grand Master before, he is still quite prestigious. I hope the Grand Master will think twice!"

Wang Yun was able to gain Dong Zhuo's trust, which showed that he had some ability to judge people.

He knew that although Dong Zhuo was extremely cruel to people, he was particularly tolerant towards one group.

That's a celebrity.

The first thing Dong Zhuo did when he gained power was not to satisfy his own selfish desires. Instead, he brought a spear to the court and petitioned for the redress of a group of celebrities who had participated in the "Second Party Prison Persecution" thirty years ago, such as Chen Fan and Dou Wu, who were on the list of people Dong Zhuo requested to be redressed.

In addition, Dong Zhuo also requested the court to restore the titles of these people and to allow their descendants to serve as officials.

Afterwards, when the political situation became slightly stable, Dong Zhuo began to get close to scholars and recruited famous people to serve as officials in the court.

Among them, the famous ones include Zhou Bi, Wu Qiong, Xun You and others.

It was not enough to recruit these famous scholars to his side. Dong Zhuo also selected many famous scholars from Guandong to hold important positions in the local area.

For example, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Jun, and Kong Rong were all recommended by Dong Zhuo as provincial governors.

Therefore, Wang Yun had actually long seen through Dong Zhuo's servile mentality towards celebrities.

In his opinion, as long as he revealed Xun You's identity as a famous scholar, Dong Zhuo might show leniency and let Xun You go.

"Situ."

Liu Xie said that he had to speak up and say something fair.

Now that Wang Yun mentioned Xun You's status as a famous scholar, it was simply adding fuel to the fire.

If Dong Zhuo was really angered, Grand Tutor Dong would definitely not mind killing Xun You first to vent his anger.

Xun You was a man of great talent who was praised by Cao Cao as "a man of integrity and wisdom, an extraordinary man. If I could discuss matters with him, the world would have nothing to worry about."

Zhongxing is in great need of such top talents.

If Xun You was killed by Wang Yun here, wouldn't Liu Xie cry to death?
"Sikong, although Xun You is a famous scholar, he has assassinated a senior official before."

"If Sikong is assassinated one day, will Sikong let the other person go because of his concern for his identity?"

If the knife doesn't fall on your body, you won't feel the pain.

Even though Wang Yun was trying to persuade Dong Zhuo to be magnanimous, he himself was a very petty person.

Historically, after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo and took control of the government, the first thing he did was to take action against Cai Yong, a great scholar who had once truly surrendered to Dong Zhuo...

At that time, why didn't Wang Yun think about his status as a celebrity?
Wang Yun was choked by Liu Xie's words and stopped talking.

In fact, it is best for Xun You to be alive.

But dying...it doesn't matter!
After all, even the act of pleading for Xun You was just an excuse Wang Yun made up on the spur of the moment.

Now seeing that Dong Zhuo hated Xun You so much and the emperor had spoken out to persuade him, Wang Yun decisively ignored the matter.

"In that case, there is another official matter that I need to report to His Majesty and the Grand Master."

Wang Yun tried to test him: "It has been raining continuously this year. Although I have performed sacrifices and prayed to the gods for rain, the effect is minimal."

"Why not welcome the summer at the southern suburbs on the day of the beginning of summer and offer sacrifices to the Red Emperor Zhurong again to ward off disasters..."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!" Before Wang Yun could finish his words, Liu Xie started coughing madly.

Wang Situ, Wang Situ, I beg you to stop talking!

Because of his position, Wang Yun could not see Dong Zhuo's expression.

But Liu Xie could see clearly that Master Dong’s dark skin had turned red due to anger!

After one month.

It was exactly the day when Wang Yun and others planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo!
In other words, until now, Wang Yun has not given up on killing Dong Zhuo.

If he continued talking, Liu Xie suspected that Dong Zhuo would really get angry and kill people, twist off Wang Yun's head and throw it into a big cauldron to cook!
"What Sikong meant, ahem, I understand."

Liu Xie looked pale.

"But since Situ had already set up an altar for sacrifice, but had little effect, I guess the gods in heaven thought that the sacrifice was not pious enough."

"Why not wait until I am fully recovered, and then personally lead all the officials to perform the sacrifice on the stage. This will show my sincerity."

After saying that, Liu Xie started coughing wildly again.

The feeling of coughing without phlegm was really uncomfortable. Liu Xie felt that his lungs were about to burst. Wang Yun realized it and said, "Quickly call Feng Chang to come and treat him!"

Afterwards, Wang Yun didn't want to stay for long, so he paid his respects to Liu Xie and left the palace.

"You bastard! You still have the will to commit a crime!"

After Wang Yun left, Dong Zhuo could no longer hold back and kicked over the cauldron in front of him, causing the boiling water to flow all over the floor.

Liu Xie slowed down his breathing.

In fact, not only Dong Zhuo, but even Liu Xie, was extremely disappointed with Wang Yun at this moment.

If Liu Xie had only slightly despised Wang Yun's character and talent before, now Liu Xie's attitude towards Wang Yun was one of disgust.

This year, there have indeed been continuous heavy rains in Guanzhong.

Limited by tradition and duty, there was nothing wrong with Wang Yun setting up an altar for sacrifice.

But Wang Yun's disregard for people's livelihood is his own problem.

First, after a heavy rain, there will inevitably be a severe drought. This is a truth that even Liu Xie, a layman, understands. He does not believe that Wang Yun, a great scholar who has read the classics, would not understand this simple phenomenon.

Moreover, the heavy spring rains have actually affected spring plowing and the grain output in Guanzhong.

By the end of this year, famine will inevitably break out in Guanzhong due to disasters!
And if there is heavy rain this year and drought next year, the famine in Guanzhong will definitely not only last this year, but also next year! The year after! The year after that!
The ground is full of starving people and the land is barren for thousands of miles. This is the future scene of Guanzhong!

But what Wang Yun cares about is still the struggle for power.

What he was planning with all his heart and soul was still the assassination of Dong Zhuo.

……

Such a person controls the government affairs of the court and even dreams of controlling the core of the court.

Just thinking about it made Liu Xie shudder!

"Master."

Liu Xie sighed.

"Although Wang Yun cannot be killed for the time being, his position as Minister of the Chancellery must be removed."

If Wang Yun, the Shangshu Ling who is not focused on government affairs, continues to be in charge of government affairs, the entire Guanzhong region will face a disaster.

"I know a great talent. Although he was born a filial and honest man, he is now serving as a captain to suppress the invaders. If he can be in charge of the government, he will surely be able to keep the court stable."

Dong Zhuo didn't expect there was such a talent and immediately asked the other party's name.

"I am from Guzang in Wuwei County. My surname is Jia, my name is Xu, and my courtesy name is Wenhe!"
