Due to Zhang Feng's indirect connivance, Dong Zhuo's development after entering the capital was like a historical record, almost without any changes: He had instigated He Jin's subordinate Wu Kuang to kill He Jin's younger brother, He Miao. The latter had accepted bribes from the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court and put in a good word for them, so he was identified as a eunuch. Then, Dong Zhuo annexed most of He Jin's Imperial Army. []
Every day, in the middle of the night, he would secretly drive the few soldiers he had brought into the capital out of the city. After dawn, he would make a big fuss and swagger into the city, making people think that he had brought a lot of soldiers.
Bao Xin saw Dong Zhuo's ambition and warned Yuan Shao and Wang Yun to execute him as soon as possible. In the end, they did not listen to him. Bao Xin led his troops to Mount Tai.
From then on, Luoyang's military power was almost entirely in Dong Fatty's hands. He then began to prepare to abolish Liu Bian and change Liu Xie to emperor (What was this fatty thinking?）。
Minister Ding Guan, who opposed him, was killed by him in court. Yuan Shao was still hot-blooded and had a conflict with him. He almost drew his sword and fought with him in public. After being persuaded by the ministers, he hung the seal in his residence and fled to his hometown, Bohai. Yuan Shu also fled from the south gate and disappeared.
After that, due to Ding Yuan's objection, Zhang Feng's elder brother Lu Bu appeared and beat Fatty Dong until he fled. Li Su then jumped out and persuaded Fatty Dong to use a Red Hare to persuade Lu Bu to defect. Ding Yuan also died in the hands of his son, who he looked down on.
In the fifth month, Liu Bian was ousted by Dong Zhuo. Liu Xie ascended the throne and became Emperor Xian. At this moment, Wang Yue had become the emperor's teacher.
In the sixth month, Dong Zhuo sent someone to accuse Liu Bian of writing an anti-poem and poisoned him to death, as well as Concubine Tang (a little beauty who was estimated to be no more than fifteen years old.
"Father, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late. Thief Dong has gone against the law and has power over the entire country. [] With his father's integrity, he will certainly anger him and bring disaster to him. It is better to escape.”Zhang Feng kneeled in front of Zhang Wen, his expression anxious.
Although Zhang Wen wasn't his biological father, he had been caring for him for the past ten years. Zhang Feng wasn't a cold-hearted person, so how could he bear to let Dong Zhuo kill him? However, Zhang Feng had underestimated the so-called integrity of this ancient scholar.
Zhang Wenye's white beard was raised proudly like the unyielding spirit of his master.""The country is about to perish, and the traitor Dong is plotting against us. I have received the great kindness of the Han family, how can I bear to despise righteousness and cherish my life? My son, don't say anything. I've made up my mind. You can take your mother to Puyang as soon as possible to recuperate.”
At this moment, Lady Wang also displayed the traditional virtue of taking her husband as the key link. She stood firmly beside Zhang Wen and said softly,"I am a woman and do not understand many great principles. I only know that where my husband is, I will naturally follow him. Even on the road to the Yellow Springs, I will accompany him.”
Zhang Wen was a little touched. A few drops of turbid tears appeared in his eyes as he held Madam Wang's hand."It's been hard on you."
Zhang Feng was so anxious that he stomped his feet. These two people still had the mood to play flirting here!
"If father is stubborn, please forgive this child for being rude. Yongcheng, Zhongye, tie up the old man and send him to Puyang!”
Unexpectedly, the usually gentle Zhang Wen was like an angry monkey, slapping Zhang Feng's face. Immediately, a red five-fingered print appeared on Zhang Feng's fair face, which was particularly dazzling."Unfilial son! Do you want to trap me in an unjust place? I swear to die to deal with the old thief! If you want me to take half a step away from Luoyang! I'll splash him with blood from his neck!" As he spoke, he drew his sword and placed it across his neck.
Huang Xu and Wen Pin only listened to Zhang Feng, but when they saw Zhang Wen's move, they could not help but slow down and did not dare to go forward.
Zhang Feng only felt his eyes ache, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He sobbed and said,"Father, if you insist on doing this, I don't dare to force you, but I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again.”
Zhang Wen also softened his tone." Son, it's not that I'm cruel, but it's the way of the heavens. If a subject forgets his duty for personal reasons, he's worse than a pig or a dog. A real man must do what he doesn't do. My son can go quickly. If you are separated from Yin and Yang from now on, you can avenge your father in the future.”
Zhang Feng's mind was in a mess. What loyalty to the emperor and love for the country? Was he really going to make such a fearless sacrifice? This stupid Confucian ideology was too conservative and too stubborn. It brainwashed people into absolute loyalty to the royal family. However, was this good for the entire nation and history?
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times. When he raised his head, his face was filled with tears."Your son is unfilial and will take his leave now. If you dare to hurt even a hair on your father's head, your son will definitely use the entire country's army. This country refers to the county, Dongjun), with the head of Dong thief presented to his father's memorial ceremony.”
She turned around cruelly." Let's go!" He brought Huang Xu and Wen Pin and left the Zhang residence dejectedly.
However, he couldn't leave just like that. Zhang Wen hadn't officially fallen out with Dong Zhuo yet, so Zhang Feng could still buy some time to take the other family away-the Huang family.
Zhang Feng and the other two handed their horses to the servants at the entrance of the Huang Manor, but they were informed that the Prime Minister had sent an envoy and was having a meeting with Huang Wan inside. The Prime Minister was Dong Zhuo, so why did he send people here?
Just as he was feeling suspicious, Huang Wan accompanied a young man in his twenties out. He was very respectful. Wasn't that Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu?
Huang Wan bowed to Niu Fu. Your Majesty, please inform the Prime Minister."
Niu Fu returned the bow smugly.""In this case, we are on the same side. Lord Huang, please wait.”
After Niu Fu had walked far away, Zhang Feng and the other two came out from the bottom of the stairs and called out to Huang Wan, who had already turned around,"Father-in-law, why did this Thief Dong send someone here?”
Huang Wan was shocked when she heard that. She looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, then she pulled Zhang Feng's hand and said,""This is not a place to talk, follow me.”
"What? Father-in-law is prepared to accept Thief Dong's order and take up the position of Minister?”Zhang Feng could not believe his ears. What kind of world was this? As close friends, Zhang Wen was willing to fight against Dong Zhuo's tyranny with his own strength and flesh and blood, while Huang Wan and Xun Shuang, the other minister, had actually sided with Dong Zhuo. The three of them were in cahoots. The good and evil of loyalty and treachery were determined immediately.
"Virtuous son-in-law, think about it. The Prime Minister is already in a high position and everyone in the world respects him. As the saying goes,'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'. With your talent, if you serve the Prime Minister, you will definitely be put in an important position. Your future is limitless.”Huang Wan advised earnestly.
He didn't expect that this usually kind-looking Huang Wan was actually a hypocrite! The slogan of loyalty and love for the country was usually loud, but at the critical moment, it immediately changed its tune and camp. It was the first to jump out and cheer for Dong Zhuo!
Zhang Feng resisted the urge to rush up and strangle the old man. He said calmly,"Since that's the case, please meet Ying 'er before making a decision.”
Huang Wan thought that Zhang Feng was already moved, so she chuckled and said,""That's good too. Men, bring Lord Zhang to Young Lady's boudoir.”
