Chapter 56 (1/2)
And the master he of the seven treasures building, Zhang Xiu also dare not so laissez faire, naturally also included in the surveillance scope. However, since Zhang Xiu solved the question of heaven by Zhang Xiu, he devoted himself to brewing wine in the seven treasures building. Lu Bu sent people to protect him, and no one in Chang'an dared to trouble him.
A few days later, Dong Zhuo held a banquet with his ministers, mostly because of Li Ru's advice, in order to establish his prestige again among the ministers. After all, no matter how nice it is, it can't cover up the fact that Dong Zhuo was forced to go west to Chang'an by the Lords of eighteen towns.
At the banquet, all the ministers were silent, only Dong Zhuo and his subordinates were laughing and drinking. Dong Zhuo is over 50 years old. Compared with the time when he just entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is obviously obese now. His fat face is shaking with his hearty laughter. He looks like a rich man. But only a few people can see the cruelty in Dong Zhuo's heart from the cold light in his eyes.
”Gentlemen At the prompt of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo knew that it was time to attend today's banquet. He raised his glass and said to the ministers, ”yesterday, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan both accepted the imperial court's conferment and surrendered to me. The princes of the 18th route have now disappeared. You are all important officials of the imperial court. You should serve the imperial court. I will protect you from your glory and wealth
All the ministers rose to worship and said, ”I'd like to serve the grand master as a dog and a horse!”
Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky with a long smile, raised his glass and drank it down. However, he said with a squeaky mouth: ”this wine is tasteless and tasteless, far less than the fine wine made by master he! It's a pity that I've been drinking too much recently. I've drunk all the wine in my house. Otherwise, I can give it to you. It's just that the wine is really tasteless, so you should add some ingredients. Come on
As soon as Dong Zhuo's voice fell, several sergeants, dragging two men in rags, went straight to the big wine jar in the hall. The sergeants opened the lid of the wine jar and put the arms of the two men above the mouth of the jar. A sergeant pulled out a cold shining dagger with a brush, and cut the two men's arms severely.
All at once, only the shrill screams of the two men reverberated in the hall. Blood flowed into the wine jar along his two arms. Beside him, a sergeant kept stirring with a long handled wine spoon.
All the ministers under the seat were sweating on their forehead and shivering, but they didn't dare to say a word. However, for a long time, the screams of the two men became smaller and smaller, and their eyes gradually lost their vitality. Finally, their heads tilted and passed out. As soon as Dong Zhuo waved his hand, the sergeants dragged the two men down the hall, leaving only a few bloodstains on the mouth of the wine jar and two blood stains on the ground. Another sergeant, holding a wine spoon, directly poured the bright red blood wine in the wine jar into the wine cup of the ministers.
Dong Zhuo ha ha ha smile, one hand did a please action, said: ”come on! Gentlemen! Try to see if the wine with the ingredients is better
Although Dong Zhuo said how well, but none of the ministers dared to move. They all looked at the blood wine in front of them. Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, Dong Zhuo changed his face and hummed coldly, saying, ”all the princes don't drink. Is it because I think I have neglected them?”
Dong Zhuo said this with a strong murderous spirit, which made the ministers shiver at the same time. A goatee old man sitting on the top of him forced to laugh and said, ”how dare you! The lower officials like the fine wine in the taishifu very much. ” After that, he stretched out his hands pale and raised the glass tremblingly. He watched the blood on the edge of the glass drop on his hand. The old man tried to hold back the rolling of his throat, closed his eyes and drank the wine in the glass. After drinking, he covered his mouth and nose, and his eyes also pretended to be smiling. He kept saying, ”good wine! It's really good wine
”Ha ha ha ha ha!” Dong Zhuo laughed and pointed to the old goat bearded man and said, ”situ is well-informed! Gentlemen, since all the princes and teachers have drunk, why don't you drink? ”
Although the officials knew that Wang Yun was forced to do so, he would take the lead and drink with him. At the moment, he only forced to smile and scold all the women in Wang Yun's family. At the same time, he held up his glass of wine, closed his eyes and drank with Wang Yun. Finally, he praised the good wine.
Seeing that the first step had already worked, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, who had thin cheeks, looked at each other and laughed at each other. However, after a while, Lu Bu, dressed in a royal robe, walked into the hall with a silk cloth in his hand, and looked around the officials around him as he walked. All the officials who were watched by Lv Bu could not help but shiver again, as if Lv Bu's eyes would kill them.
Lv Bu went straight to Dong Zhuo, whispered a few words in his ear, and handed the silk cloth in his hand to Dong Zhuo. Seeing Dong Zhuo's face darkened, he looked at the silk cloth in his hand, and immediately gave a cold hum, and winked at Lv Bu. Lv Bu slowly went to the center of the hall, where he turned around. Suddenly, he grabbed the back collar of Wang Yun's side who didn't need an old minister. Just like catching a chicken, he directly pulled the old minister out.
