"Fengxian, how are you doing?" Dong Zhuo asked with a gloomy face.

"Father, I have already visited Situ's Mansion. There is indeed a seven-star sword in Situ's Mansion. This matter should have nothing to do with Situ's Mansion." Lu Bu lowered his head and reported back.

"Yeah." Dong Zhuo rested his head on his hands and became silent.

"Father-in-law, since General Lu has verified that this sword has nothing to do with the Situ Mansion, I think the seven-star sword that Cao Cao mentioned when he presented the sword is probably a lie!" Li Ru said, stroking his beard.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo became interested and looked at Li Ru in confusion and asked, "Aren't Cao Cao and Wang Yun the same group?"

"Of course they are in the same group, and they all want to kill my father-in-law."

Li Ru smiled, shook his head and continued.

"But father-in-law, think about it, what a cunning villain Cao Cao is. He pretends to be courteous, and he can even hide it from you. I'm afraid that such a person only thinks about himself, right?"

"In my opinion, Cao Cao has made two preparations. First, if he succeeds in the assassination, he will be a hero of the Han Dynasty. In the future, he will definitely be ranked among the three princes and the most important minister."

"Now, if the assassination fails, he will pretend to offer a knife to escape. This seven-star sword is an heirloom of the Situ Wang family. Anyone who is willing can find out the news. Unfortunately, no one has seen this sword, so it must be confused with the real thing.

, it’s so simple.”

"When Cao Cao presented the sword, he didn't mention other swords, but he said it was a seven-star sword. This is very suspicious in itself. After he escaped, my father-in-law must have understood that Cao Cao actually wanted to assassinate you. This investigation can easily find out

It’s Wang Yun.”

"In a fit of rage, my father-in-law killed Wang Yun and completely broke up with the royalists. When Cao Cao's little thief escapes, he can spread the word that his father-in-law deceived the emperor and harmed loyal people, and called on the princes to attack his father-in-law. When the time comes, he will

Cao Cao is still a hero of the Han Dynasty, but our Xiliang army is in a bad situation due to internal and external troubles."

Dong Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat. He slapped the case and said angrily: "Fortunately, Feng Xian investigated clearly and Wen Zheng discovered the treacherous plot. How dare Cao Cao, the dog thief, play tricks on me like this. Someone will definitely use his dog head to drink! Send the order and send it to the emperor."

The edict orders all counties to arrest Cao Cao, and anyone who beheads Cao Cao will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

······

Late at night, the study room of Situ Mansion was still lit.

"Sir, I am Ji Shu. I have something to ask you."

"Oh? Come in."

After finishing speaking, Ji Shu pushed open the door and entered.

Wang Yun put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea, and asked in a calm tone: "It's so late, what do you want to ask me?"

"I have read several volumes of books before, but now I am increasingly confused about some things, so I have no choice but to come and ask the master for help. I hope he can teach me," Ji Shu said with a little respect.

Wang Yun licked his beard and looked at Ji Shu carefully. This young man was picked up by Qingyu from the refugee camp. Qingyu did this kind of thing in the past. Many handymen in the government had such backgrounds.

The country was in ruins. How could it be saved in this way? But Wang Yun was very pleased with his daughter's thoughts, so he let her go.

"I remember that girl Yu'er said that it's rare that you have read some books. I'm busy with business and haven't paid much attention to it on weekdays. If you have any questions, let me know and see if I can answer your questions."

Ji Shu's throat moved, he took a deep breath secretly, stood up straight, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, what is a 'scholar'?"

"Huh"

Ji Shu's question surprised Wang Yun. Such a question is large and empty, and it is difficult to answer because it has too many answers.

Wang Yun couldn't figure out what Ji Shu wanted to ask for a while. He was silent for a while and then gave his answer.

"Have read books, know the etiquette, understand what is shameful, abide by the law, respect the sages, correct mistakes when they are aware of them, follow the good deeds, be loyal and patriotic, this is what the so-called "scholar" is probably like."

Ji Shu looked at Wang Yun quietly and said:

"The boy remembers this passage in "Warring States Policy",

The King of Qin became angry and said to Tang Ju, "Have you ever heard of the emperor's anger?"

Tang Ju said to him, "I have never heard of it."

The King of Qin said: 'The emperor's wrath will kill millions of people and bleed for thousands of miles.'

Tang Ju said: "Has your Majesty heard of Bu Yi's anger?"

The King of Qin said: 'The anger of commoners is also like taking off their hats and wearing bare clothes, and snatches the earth and ears with their heads.'

Tang Ju said: "This is the wrath of a mediocre man, not the wrath of a scholar. Zhuanzhu's stab at the king's official is like a comet hitting the moon; Nie Zheng's stab at a Korean puppet is like a white rainbow piercing the sun; Yao Li's stab at Qing Ji is like a cang.

The eagle struck the palace. These three sons were all men in commoner clothes. They were still angry, so they descended from the sky and joined the ministers to kill the four. If the men were angry, they lay down two of them, bleeding for five steps, and the world was plain.

"That's the case today." He raised his sword and stood up.

The King of Qin looked at him, knelt down and thanked him, and said, "Sir, sit down! Why is this happening! I have told you: Hu Han and Wei were destroyed, and Anling is only fifty miles away, and only Mr. You is here."

Every time I read this, I feel fascinated.

I think such people can be called national scholars. It doesn't matter whether they have studied or not.

I was greatly disappointed when I heard what the eldest lady said today, so I came to see you late at night and wanted to talk to you about this allusion."

"oh?"

Although Ji Shu denied what Wang Yun said about "scholars", Wang Yun was not angry, but rather happy. His eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "So, you think I behave inappropriately, which is not what a scholar should do, so therefore

Did you come over late at night to admonish me? Haha, you should just tell me."

Ji Shu lowered his head slightly and continued: "Master, you must know the story of Liu Che, the Great Emperor of Hanwu, right?"

"This is natural. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the only emperor in the ages. If I don't even know this, I am not worthy of being an official in this dynasty."

"Then I should know that the Huns outside the Great Wall are extremely powerful and often plunder our Han border areas. Emperors of all dynasties have tried to appease the Huns through marriage and annual coins. But Emperor Wu did not."

"Emperor Wu ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and his foundation was unstable. It didn't take long for him to face such a choice. He did not compromise in humiliation, he chose to fight!"

"This will anger the Xiongnu! Perhaps the Han Dynasty will perish as a result. Many people in the government and the public oppose it, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insists on fighting."

"How long did this war last? How many people died? Will the sacrifice of one person save ten thousand people?"

"unnecessary!"

"If you want to bleed, just bleed!"

"This is the backbone of a person and the backbone of the country. Many people say that Emperor Wu was militaristic, but he is the pride of our Han Dynasty!"

"The emperor continued to fight until the Xiongnu surrendered, but he did not take any of his daughters to sue for peace."

Wang Yun couldn't laugh anymore. His face turned terribly dark. He stood up unknowingly and stared at Ji Shu.

"What do you know?"

Ji Shu raised his head and looked directly at Wang Yun without giving in.

"I know I want to kill Dong Zhuo!"

"The master asked the young lady to get closer to General Lu. I was just wondering, is it for military power?"

"Does it mean that by marrying the young lady to Lu Bu, one will have military power to compete with Dong Zhuo? No, Dong Zhuo will not allow such a thing to happen."

"Then why does the master want the young lady to get close to Lu Bu? Then I thought of a terrible thing."

"What I want is Lu Bu. I want Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo just like he killed Ding Yuan."

"Lü Bu was regarded as the adopted son by Dong Zhuo, and he was highly regarded by Dong Zhuo. He became the number one man in Dong Zhuo's army. Why should he help you kill Dong Zhuo?"

"Today, you can see that Lu Bu is fascinated by the young lady. Yes, the young lady's appearance is stunning. Heroes love beauties. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"So you have a plan in mind. As long as Lu Bu and the lady fall in love, you can find another opportunity for Dong Zhuo to get to know the lady. With Dong Zhuo's lecherous and evil character, can you let the lady go?"

"At that time, Lu Bu secretly hates Dong Zhuo. As long as you provoke him a little, with such a terrible assassin, Dong Zhuo's life will not be enough!"

"right?"

Wang Yun didn't answer. He looked at Ji Shu with wide eyes, as if the most secret secret in his heart had been exposed, and he was trembling. He asked in a trembling voice: "How do you know?"

"how could I know?"

Historically, Dong Zhuo lost his head because of Wang Yun's concubine "Diao Chan". Since there is no such person as Diao Chan, you can guess who carried out this plan.

Without answering the question, Ji Shu rushed forward angrily and lifted up Wang Yun's collar. He didn't know how ferocious his face looked now. He only knew that he wanted to strangle this bastard to death.

"How can you bear it?"

"Ah? How can you give up? Isn't the eldest lady your own flesh and blood?"

"enough!"

Wang Yun didn't know where he got the strength to break away from Ji Shu and shouted angrily: "Do you think I am willing?"

"Why can't I sleep until now?"

"Do you think I want to watch my daughter jump into this pit of fire?"

"But I have no choice! I have no choice!"

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion was finally put down, but the Shi Chang Shi Rebellion broke out again. As a result, Dong Zhuo, a thief, took control of the capital."

"It is unheard of to depose an emperor and establish a new one. Sleeping on a dragon bed at night is unheard of! The king humiliates his ministers and dies! I wish I could have Dong Zhuo's cramps and peel off his skin!"

"Contacting Yuan Shao privately, Ding Yuan attacked Dong Zhuo. As a result, Yuan Shao showed no signs of movement, so Ding Yuan won the battle and died that night!"

"Cao Cao asked me to borrow a knife to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and I took the risk and lent him all the family heirloom swords! What happened? He dedicated the Seven-Star Sword to Dong Zhuo and escaped from the capital! This was his assassination!"

Wang Yun seemed to be crazy. He threw the tea cup on the table against the wall and shouted at Ji Shu: "Dong Zhuo is rebellious and reckless. Millions of people are in dire straits. If we don't kill him, how can we save the Han Dynasty?"
