I quickly raised my head. At the end of the street, I could vaguely see a crowd rushing towards the Imperial Palace.
I nodded." That's right. It seems so."”
"Let's go and take a look," Xuan Yue said.”
The three of them ran over. From afar, they saw Lu Bu riding on a tall horse, speeding over from the east gate, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
I didn't pay attention to the cheering crowd that was rushing towards the center. I only saw the ox-cart that was dragging gold and silver behind the orderly formation of troops, as well as…an exquisitely decorated and luxurious carriage.
The curtains of the carriage were tightly drawn, blocking out the air. From the outside, one could not see the situation inside at all.
I stood on my tiptoes, wanting to take a closer look, but I was not tall enough. There were many people in front of me, so I could only see the outline of a carriage.
"Ah, the one in that carriage must be Diao Chan.”Xuan Yue called out in my ear.
Even though we were standing so close to each other, we had to shout when we spoke.
"Can you see the people inside?" I shouted. How did you know it was Diao Chan?"
She giggled and said,"Is there a need to ask?" To a man, how could there be a better trophy than a beautiful woman? I don't believe that Marquis Lu wouldn't snatch Diao Chan back when he arrives at the dock.”
When the carriage reached a fork in the road, it suddenly changed direction. It didn't follow the main group to the Imperial Palace, but turned to our street instead.
"What's going on?" Xuan Se frowned.”
Xuan Yue chuckled and called out,"I know. How can Diao Chan enter the palace? He must have gone to Marquis Lu's mansion."
"No, Marquis Lu's mansion is outside the city. If Diao Chan was in this carriage, he wouldn't have brought her into the city.”Xuan Se was puzzled.
I sighed slightly. What a slow pair of siblings. I pointed at Situ Manor behind me and sighed."Diao Chan probably wants to go to that place.”
"Ah!" The two of them cried out at the same time. Xuan Yue said," But, didn't her mother already…"
"But she doesn't know, does she?”
" This…" Xuan Yue was momentarily speechless."No, let's go stop her.”
" Wait, don't be rash!" Xuan Se shouted.”However, Xuan Yue had already run out.
Fortunately, I was prepared. I quickly grabbed her and said,"Where are you going?"
" Let me go!" Xuan Yue stomped her feet." I'll tell Diao Chan that her mother is already dead. Wang Situ doesn't believe her either, so he told her not to go."”
"What is this?" I frowned. Putting aside whether she believes you or not, even if she does, won't she go back? She has to go."
"But…"
" It's getting late," Xuan Se hurriedly interrupted her." Didn't you promise Orange Dance that you would return before dinner?" Time to go."
The two of us pulled Xuan Yue from both sides and dragged her back without any room for refusal. She was a little unwilling and looked back three times with every step she took. With her martial arts, if she really didn't want to leave with us, we naturally couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, she had always listened to Xuan Se. Even if she was unwilling, she still followed us back to the Qiao Mansion.
Dong Zhuo's case had implicated many people. Many of the imperial clan disciples surnamed Dong and the imperial court officials who had supported Liu Xie's succession were implicated. Regardless of whether they had really helped the tyrant, they were thrown into prison and even lost their lives.
Among them was the famous scholar Cai Yong, Cai Wenji's father. It was rumored that he had dared to openly cry and pay his respects to Dong Zhuo while everyone was cursing and despising him. This had caused public anger and he had been sent to prison. In fact, the truth was always suspicious. There were also people who said that although Wang Situ had gotten rid of Dong Zhuo this time, although it was very satisfying, there were always many ways to overdo it. Cai Yong had recorded them all in the History of Han. In addition, Dong Zhuo had been pretentious and proud to win over Cai Yong. He had been promoted many times, causing some people to be jealous and suspicious.
Lord Qiao had always been on good terms with him, and Cai Yong was famous in the court for his upright character. For a moment, many scholars and politicians pleaded for him. He himself said that he was willing to follow Sima Qian's example and suffer the punishment of tattooing his head and cutting off his feet, just to complete the History of Han. However, this request was rejected by Wang Yun, so Cai Yong was finally sentenced to death.
Wang Yun's short-sightedness could be seen from this incident. Humans were born between heaven and earth. How could those who did great things not be discussed by others? The Shi Family's words were just a record of his personal thoughts, yet they had frightened him to the point of killing him to silence him. How could such a magnanimous person achieve great things?
A few days later, after the excitement of killing Dong Zhuo, the real problem came.
Although Dong Zhuo was dead, the remnants of his party were still there. His power was not so easy to eliminate. Wang Yun was also obstinate and unwilling to pardon the crimes of Dong Zhuo's former subordinates. Therefore, when they heard of Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu gathered their troops outside Chang 'an and rushed to the capital with murderous intent.
Naturally, Lu Bu would be the one to fight in the capital. Unfortunately, although he was brave, he lacked strategy. In addition, he was too hot-blooded and was provoked by others. He fought repeatedly and his spirit was worn down. Many of Dong Zhuo's old ministers in the capital opened the city gate one day. The rebel army divided into four groups and swarmed in. Lu Bu could not resist in time and had to rush to the Situ Mansion to save Wang Yun.
Speaking of which, Wang Yun was quite a character. In terms of integrity, he was not inferior to others. He actually refused to leave with Lu Bu and stayed by Liu Xie's side, unwilling to abandon the king and escape. In the end, he actually committed suicide in order to save the emperor.
Of course, I only learned about this a long time later.
I didn't have the time to gather information on the day the rebel army invaded Chang 'an.
Once the city gate was broken, even the emperor was almost killed. If it wasn't for the vassals, Liu Xie would have long become a vengeful spirit, let alone the princes and ministers.
Sir Qiao was publicly acknowledged as Wang Yun's ally, so how could he escape from the vicious hands of the enemy? As soon as the rebel army entered the capital, Zhang Ji personally led a group of people to the Qiao Mansion to capture Lord Qiao.
It was a chaotic day, and I will never forget it.
" Second Miss, Second Miss!" Cheng Wu stumbled into the room from the courtyard and shouted with a pale face,""Second Miss, this is bad. Marquis Lu has been defeated and the rebel army has attacked the residence. Run for your lives!"
I raised my head to look at her. The usually calm and composed Cheng Wu was now so pale.
"I once advised my father to leave the capital as soon as possible, but he didn't listen to me." At this point, what else could he do?”
Outside the door, the soldiers 'roars, blows, and clashing sounds grew louder and closer. Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge huddled in the corner, unable to speak. They stared at the door.
