Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo had caused a huge uproar in the court and among the people.
On the second day of court, Dong Zhuo was furious. He immediately punished a few officials who were close to Cao Cao and ordered a nationwide bounty to capture Cao Cao.
Wang Yun's expression didn't change, but his heart was filled with regret.
However, fortunately, he was able to keep his life in the end and did not die in a tragic manner like Wu Fu.
The ministers who attended Situ Wangyun's birthday celebration felt pity and fear.
Unfortunately, the assassination failed.
He was afraid that he had attended the birthday banquet after all. Although he did not participate in the final plan, with Dong Zhuo's brutal personality, he would inevitably be implicated.
Fortunately, all the officials who participated were loyal to the Great Han Dynasty, but they also hated Dong Zhuo.
Although they were afraid, and if they reported this to Dong Zhuo, they might be able to keep their lives, but no one really did such a shameless thing.
Cao Cao's bounty notices were posted everywhere.
After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he was arrogant and despotic. He had no respect for the law and threatened the emperor.
They had a terrible reputation among the common people and were hated by the people. They were even called jackals and poisonous snakes.
In order to save the Great Han Dynasty from danger, Cao Cao went deep into the tiger's den and killed Dong alone.
Although the assassination failed, he managed to escape.
This courage, this feat, this mechanism was praised by everyone.
Cao Cao had also become the second hero after Jiang Chen to dare to oppose Dong Zhuo.
This storm lasted for about a week, but in the end, no one could find out what was going on. Cao Cao was also not caught, and slowly, the matter was left unsettled.
On this day, Dong Zhuo invited all the officials to a banquet in the garden.
Whether it was the officials he was on good terms with, or Wang Yun and Yuan Kui, who he had never gotten along with in the past, they were all invited.
Although many officials looked down on Dong Zhuo's behavior and hated him, they were not willing to offend him because of this. Most of them chose to go.
Wang Yun, Yuan Kui, and the others also wanted to see what Dong Zhuo was up to, so they didn't decline.
Thus, all the officials came to the garden at the same time.
Then, everyone was led to the palace in the garden by the servants and sat down one after another.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Dong Zhuo, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, strode in with his head held high.
There were two people behind him.
One of them wore a golden crown, a Hundred Flower Battle Robe, Tang Ni Armor, a Lion Barbarian Treasure Belt, a long sword on his waist, and a halberd in his hand.
He had an imposing and majestic appearance.
It was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.
The other person was dressed in black and wore a scholar's hat. He had two tufts of beard.
Even though he looked ordinary in terms of his attire and appearance, he had a unique aura around him.
In particular, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, making people not dare to underestimate him.
They were Dong Zhuo's confidant, Li Ru and Li Wenyou.
After Dong Zhuo took his seat, the two of them stood behind him like his two arms.
"Thank you for coming to my banquet.”
He smiled and said,"Those who can come are my friends. In the future, we will definitely help each other."”
" As for those who didn't come after being invited…" He changed his tone and said fiercely,""That is my enemy!"
Wang Yun's expression did not change. He kept looking for Jiang Chen, but he could not find him.
Could it be that…Dong Zhuo had invited all the officials but not Jiang Chen?
Otherwise, with Jiang Chen's temper, he would have come if he knew that everyone was coming.
Jiang Chen was the only person Dong Zhuo was wary of, but this matter was not here.
This banquet was probably not that simple!
As for the other officials, they sat upright and did not dare to show any disrespect.
Dong Zhuo looked at the various expressions of the officials and nodded with satisfaction. He continued,"Everyone, please be at ease. There's no need to pay attention to those official etiquette.”
"Serve the dishes!"
Then, the servants served the wine and meat one after another.
"Everyone, let us toast to the Prime Minister.”
"Lord Prime Minister has worked hard for the country and has worked tirelessly. He is truly a pillar of the country.”
One of the officials who had long joined Dong Zhuo stood up after the wine and meat were served and said with a flattering expression.
Most of the officials present looked at him with extreme disdain.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart. This person was too shameless.
The pillar of the country.
Bah! He could even say it!
Wang Yun snorted coldly in his heart. He looked down on this person's behavior.
Dong Zhuo raised his wine glass with a big smile on his face, then coldly looked at the official who had not raised his wine glass.
"What? Do you not want to be friends with this old man?”
At this moment, Lu Bu, who was standing behind him, glared at him and smashed his halberd on the ground.
It made a buzzing sound in the palace.
Li Ru, on the other hand, stood quietly with a faint smile on his lips. It was as if everything that happened on the field had nothing to do with him, or rather, everything was under his control.
Many officials present hurriedly raised their wine glasses.
Although they were still unwilling, it was not worth it to become enemies with Dong Zhuo over this matter.
There was also Lu Bu behind Dong Zhuo. It was said that he had the courage to fight against ten thousand men. Now that he had seen him, his reputation was indeed well-deserved.
It was daunting. Becoming enemies with such a person was simply courting death.
Wang Yun's expression did not change, but when he saw Lu Bu, he felt a little pity.
It was a pity that such a tiger general had gone astray and helped the tyrant.
He sighed and slowly picked up his wine glass.
The remaining Yuan Kui, Yang Biao, and some loyal men of the Han Dynasty also raised their glasses when they saw Wang Yun.
"Good!"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and then drank all the wine in one go.
Lu Bu, who was behind him, slowly withdrew his aura. His expression was cold as he looked at the officials in disdain.
"Everyone, start eating. There's no need to be so formal.”
Dong Zhuo put on a smile and then started to eat and drink without any scruples.
However, the officials present did not have such good intentions. They could not wait to leave this place as soon as possible.
Dong Zhuo soon discovered this. He looked at these officials coldly.
"Why aren't you eating? Could it be that you dislike my dishes?”
"Of course not, of course not…"
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, the officials below hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls into their mouths.
Wang Yun, Yang Biao, and Yuan Kui looked at each other and poured themselves a glass of wine.
Dong Zhuo finally stopped and continued to eat and drink without any scruples.
Finally, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Dong Zhuo was full and said,"The reason why this old man has gathered all of you here today is actually because I have something to discuss with all of you.”
