Chapter 76 The Prime Minister(1/2)

Ding Chen likes Hu Cheer very much.

This is a straightforward person, with no genius and no great ambitions.

Ding Chen would be relieved if he followed him.

Because he knew that Hu Cheer was the kind of person who would not change once he recognized his master, and he was very careful in doing things.

"Take your yellow hooves and hide your soul-summoning worms."

Ding Chen could not refuse Dong Zhuo's invitation, but he had to be prepared.

He still pretended to be weak, vaguely wearing a blue shirt, wearing a luster, a large belt, and three small scepters in his arms. He only carried the Juque sword with him, and then boarded the carriage. Hu Cheer led 60 Ti cavalry to protect him and headed straight to Chang'an.

"Ziyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how good your health is?"

In the prime minister's house, Dong Zhuo seemed very enthusiastic.

However, Ding Chen found that the Prime Minister's Mansion was in a mess, and the servants were very busy in and out.

"These days, I will be unable to move due to injury and cannot follow the Prime Minister, and I miss you very much."

"Hahaha, Ziyang is really polite."

Dong Zhuo looked very happy, which also made Ding Chen feel relieved.

After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he secretly observed. The Prime Minister's Mansion was very chaotic and there were many people, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Could it be that Dong Zhuo came to me today just to reminisce about the past?

Ding Chen was confused and forced himself to cheer up and greeted Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo pulled him into the lobby of the prime minister's mansion, and then took a seat with the host and guests.

"Today is the day when the new prime minister's mansion is completed.

Someone has ordered to prepare there first, and we will go there together later.

I have been to Chang'an for more than half a year, and now I have a real mansion... Although this prime minister's mansion is good, it is someone else's property after all. If it were not forbidden, I really wouldn't be willing to occupy it. Now, I can finally return the jade here to Zhao."

It turned out that the Prime Minister's Mansion was built!

Ding Chen suddenly realized, showing a look of relief.

Of course he knew about Dong Zhuo’s construction of the prime minister’s mansion.

In fact, the Prime Minister's Mansion began to plan and build after Dong Zhuo moved out of Weiyang Palace.

Although the prime minister's family is now gorgeous and smaller, it cannot highlight Dong Zhuo's temperament and makes him dissatisfied.

At that time, Ding Chen was still working with Dong Zhuo, so he heard him complain many times that he could not find a decent prime minister's mansion in Chang'an, which was really disappointing. Later, Dong Zhuo decided to build a new prime minister's mansion on the former site of Jianzhang Palace.

Jianzhang Palace is one of the three Han Palaces. Although it has been destroyed, its foundation is still there.

The most important thing is that Jianzhang Palace has a large area and a good geographical location. It has the iconic scenery of Taiye Pond, which can be described as a very distinctive place in Chang'an. Nowadays, Jianzhang Palace is just a ruin. Dong Zhuo built the Prime Minister's Mansion on the basis of the ruins, but Cai Yong did not object.

Don’t think that Cai Yong is really a scholar who knows nothing.

How many simple people are able to survive the disaster of the Party and the Criminal?

In Cai Yong's view, Jianzhang Palace was just a palace built by Emperor Wu of Han later. Although it was one of the three palaces of Han, it was actually much lower than that of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace. In addition, Jianzhang Palace was destroyed and no longer existed. Dong Zhuo may have a little inconsistent with the etiquette and law of rebuilding the Prime Minister's Mansion on the ruins of Jianzhang Palace, but he really couldn't say anything else.

He is already amazing enough!

When he first arrived in Chang'an, he drove Dong Zhuo out of Weiyang Palace.

Dong Zhuo also gave him face. Not only did he not blame him, but he was treated very well, which made Cai Yong a little grateful to Dong Zhuo.

In this case, he could only shut up and pretend that he didn't see it.

"Has the new prime minister's mansion been built?"

Ding Chen showed a surprised expression and stood up to congratulate him.

However, he was a little surprised in his heart, why did Dong Zhuo just call him here?

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "This is not a happy event.

However, it is not wrong for Ziyang to congratulate someone on the occasion. Speaking of which, there is indeed a big happy event today.”

"Please also ask the Prime Minister to make a clear statement."

Dong Zhuo said: "Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, must be familiar with Ziyang if you want to come."

Ding Chen was stunned and nodded instinctively.

"What the Prime Minister said is the tiger in Jiangdong, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai?"

“That’s right.”

"How could the general be unfamiliar with him?

In the Battle of Xingyang, wasn’t it because of Sun Jian’s repeated achievements. His descendants, Bofu, killed Hu Zhen, and Sun Jian’s design, killed Governor Huaxiong and broke through Yangren Pass. Unfortunately, during the Battle of Xingyang, he had never gone to Xingyang because of his repeated battles and his troops were tired. To be honest, if Sun Jian was also in Xingyang at that time, he would probably be very dangerous."

Ding Chen had never met Sun Jian, but he could not stop his appreciation for Sun Jian.

And his attitude also made Dong Zhuo nod.

"Ziyang knows that Sun Jian is dead!"

"ah!"

Ding Chen was shocked and looked up at Dong Zhuo in horror.

Dong Zhuo seemed to have not realized it and sighed: "I remember that the princes united.

To be honest, some people are not afraid of the two Yuans, some people, such as Gongsun Zan, and some people are not afraid of them at all. However, among the princes, there is only one person, which is Sun Jian and Sun Wentai. He is extremely brave, has a strong temperament, and is also able to use people, and is quite strategic.

During the Liangzhou Rebellion, someone and Zhou Shen went to Jincheng to attack Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

A certain person once asked the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen for instructions, hoping to lead his troops to station the rear and serve as a follow-up officer for Zhou Shen, and be prepared for the situation, but Zhang Wen refused to obey. So he wrote a letter to explain the pros and cons and asserted that Zhou Shen would not succeed... Zhang Wen still refused to listen, but instead asked a certain person to attack Xianling Qiang, thinking that he could pacify Xiliang in one battle... Hehe, fortunately, he was prepared at that time and ordered another unit Sima Liu Jing to station in Anding. At that time, Xianling Qiang wanted to cut off a certain retreat, but found Anting's troops stationed, thinking that there was an ambush, so he hurriedly did not dare to confront someone head-on, so he hurriedly evacuated the battlefield."

Dong Zhuo's interest seems to be very high.

He talked endlessly about his past deeds to Ding Chen, which made Ding Chen even more strange.

What does this have to do with Sun Jian?

However, before he could ask, Dong Zhuo said to himself: "At that time, Sun Jian was ordered to enter Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. It was Zhou Shen's subordinate. At that time, he also offered advice to Zhou Shen, saying that he was willing to lead 10,000 troops to arrive in Jincheng first, and asked Zhou Shen to lead 20,000 troops to station in the back, thinking that he would respond. There was not much food in Zhangcheng over there and needed to transport grain from outside. In this way, they must be afraid of Zhou Shen's subsequent troops and did not dare to fight with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian could take the opportunity to cut off the food route.

If Sun Jian’s strategy is adopted, the Liangzhou Rebellion may be quelled soon.

Unfortunately, Zhou Shen'er didn't listen to Sun Wentai's plan, and Zhang Wen refused to use my plan, so he was defeated and even lost control of Liangzhou for a while...

At that time, Sun Jian was a Sima of the Assistant Army. He had such insights and his extraordinary qualities were evident."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo suddenly burst into tears.

Ding Chen was shocked by his crying and laughing for a while and asked, "Why did the Prime Minister cry?"

"I cried to the literary station, and God was jealous of talent, it was a pity."

After saying that, he laughed again, "Ziyang, and today, once Sun Jian dies, I will never be afraid of anyone anymore!"

He smiled happily, without seeing the sadness he had just now.

Ding Chen was a little confused, and was standing aside, not knowing what to say.

Dong Zhuo smiled for a while and finally stopped.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ding Chen and said, "Do you know Ziyang, who did Sun Jian die at?"

"This is really not clear."

"The person who killed him was Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.

He was ordered by Liu Biao to fight with Sun Jian... It was also because Sun Jian was very determined and was shot to death by him with a cold arrow."

"So, then Huang Zu is a tough guy."

"Is it a tough character, I don't know.

However, according to some inquiry, after Sun Jian died, there was no trace of the jade seal."

"ah?"

"Actually, people say that Sun Jian obtained the imperial seal in Luoyang, and at the beginning, he believed it without doubt.

But later, I felt strange again... Ziyang, I'll tell you, I'm often ashamed these days. I really took a look at it and thought King Hongnong was not worthy of being created, so I deposed him. But judging from his later series of methods, he was quite thoughtful. But he didn't want to inherit the throne, so he pretended to die and escaped, and a golden cicada came to escape."

There was a trace of gloomy aura in Dong Zhuo's eyes, which made Ding Chen's heart skip a beat.

"However, King Hongnong may really have no attachment to the throne, but with his thoughts, how could he have no backup plan?

So, I didn't believe it very much, and Sun Jianzhen got the jade seal.

Today, I invited Ziyang to come. One was to accompany me to the prime minister's mansion to drink. The other was to ask Ziyang to think about it. If the jade seal had been in the hands of King Hongnong, where would he hide the imperial seal when he left?"

A cool air rushed straight from the tailbone along the back spine.

Ding Chen forced a smile and said, "The Prime Minister is joking, how can I know?"

"Haha, speaking of this, King Hongnong believed in Ziyang so much and even entrusted his wife. I think he was very familiar with Ziyang.

Ziyang just think about it, the imperial seal would be hidden there.
