Chapter Twelve: Zhang Rangzhi's Stratagem

The night passed like this, and from time to time, I heard the sound of roosters crowing. In a house in Luoyang, an obese man fell asleep on a stool in front of the table with his hands supporting his head. From time to time, he made two pig-like snoring sounds, and this obese man was Dong Cheng.

Yesterday, Zhang Rang's words made Dong Cheng think about it all night, why did you He Jin be the first day of the lunar month, and I, Dong Cheng, cannot be the fifteenth day of the lunar month?

Dong Cheng, who woke up from the crowing of the rooster, still had yesterday's words echoed in his head.

"Sir!" Zhang Rang walked into Dong Zhuo's house, looked at Dong Cheng's posture, and hugged his hands and said to Dong Cheng.

"Ah~ It's morning?" Dong Cheng seemed to think it's still night, and he didn't remember that the chicken had just finished crowing.

"Sir, it's Chen Shi, and the rooster has just crowed. Didn't you hear the cry?" Zhang Rang asked in confusion.

"Hey, maybe I was too obsessed with thinking last night and didn't pay attention to these things. Why did you ask me for so early?" Dong Cheng asked.

"I was eager to choose a solution for the adult, and I thought about it all night last night. There was really no better solution, so I hurried over this morning to see if the adult had come up with it," Zhang Rang explained.

"Sir, now we are all grasshoppers on a rope. Yesterday I told you that if you don't have a better idea, you will first use a certain strategy. The strategy you plan must be appropriate sooner rather than later. I'm afraid that it will change if you delay!" Zhang Rang persuaded Dong Cheng with great thought.

"Forget it, I thought about it all night last night, and found that I couldn't think of anything better than you so far. I'll follow your plan, but now He Jin's husband's men are all from inside and outside. How can my people go in and do things? The guards He Jin set up next to Queen He are probably not even, and the same is true for Liu Bian. Why do you ask me to secretly make a trap for Liu Bian?" Dong Cheng asked.

Zhang Rang thought to himself with a smile: Dong Cheng is really stupid. I need some small matters. It’s better to help him. If things happen in the future, it will be the death of you, an old man. Humph, let you be arrogant for a while. I will wait for you to bring down He Jin and it will be the day when I turn over. Now I will endure it first.

"Sir, wouldn't you find an excuse to secretly get Liu Bian out of the palace? After leaving the palace, haha, isn't it up to you to decide whether to live or die? Besides, it's not more convenient to make Liu Bian's braids with a small accident? Even if He Jin goes to check, there will be no evidence. In this way, He Jin can only suffer a loss secretly and cannot find bad luck to the adults. Do you think right? And he also has to think of a good reason to let Liu Bian leave the palace with you, so that He Jin and Queen He have no reason to say anything." Zhang Rang explained.

"Oh, what are you going to think of? My nephew is not here to tell me quickly." Dong Cheng said excitedly.

"I think the adults can say this, saying that Liu Bian can be promoted."

"Wait, what nonsense are you talking about? What does Liu Bian mean to be promoted? I still have a way out for Liu Bian to be promoted?" Dong Cheng responded in horror.

"Sir. Before you finish listening to me, I said you can agree to Liu Bian ascend to the throne, but there is a condition." Zhang Rang said.

"What conditions?" Dong Cheng immediately grabbed Zhang Rang's hand and asked.

"It's so disgusting, my god, it's so uncomfortable to push such a person who is not easy to use in front of him. I don't understand it after explaining it, I have no brains." Zhang. He cursed in his heart, turned around and smiled at Dong Cheng: "You can say that the tigers and leopards outside have been disturbed by the people recently, and some people have been sent to the tigers and leopards. You just want to ask Liu Bian to clean up the tigers and leopards outside and let Liu Bian do some achievements so that the lord can agree to him take over the throne. In this way, you have the right place here.

Then, the tiger and leopard outside hurt people because they sent someone to deal with it. You just mentioned this, He Jin and Empress He will agree. Even if He Jin does not agree, the old minister below will agree. It depends on whether He Jin dares to be arrogant. If He Jin really raises up his troops to support Liu Bian and kills the ministers indiscriminately, the Lord can just punish him for a rebellion. I think all the princes will not be able to see it. In the future, He Jin will be beaten and killed. In this way, will the Lord better grasp the court?" Zhang Rang said.

"Okay, okay! This plan is good. Just follow what you said and do it immediately. Well, let's go to me tomorrow morning. After saying that, see what they both said, hahaha, it's a plan, a plan." Dong Chengpai laughed with Zhang Rang's hand.

"Hmph, let you be crazy for a few days, and you can see if you still smile when you finish it." Zhang Rang thought to Dong Cheng with a smile on his face.

"The villain will go down to arrange the follow-up matters and wish the master success." Zhang Rang stood up and bowed his waist and said.

"Okay, I'll give you a good word. You can go down and prepare first. Oh, this matter must be done. If it doesn't work, we have almost no way out. If it fails, we will have a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Whether it can be successful or not is left to fate. You go." Dong Cheng, who was happy to succeed, suddenly thought of the failure ending. He was sad and hurt himself, so he raised his hand to let Zhang Rang go. He himself was preparing to speak in the court tomorrow, and he kept practicing what he should say repeatedly in his mouth, so he didn't even have the heart to have lunch. From time to time, Dong Cheng shouted.

"Come!"

A guard came in outside the door and said, "What's the matter with sir?"

"You pretend to leave the city quietly, take my five hundred private soldiers and hide them quietly on the mountain where the tiger and leopard appeared in the east, and tell the commander, let them pretend to be bandits, and you must not expose your legs. Do you know? I will use thick smoke as a sign tomorrow, and come out to do things when I see the thick smoke. Do you understand? I will write a letter to me, and you will bring me the five hundred private soldiers and tell him what I said to you without missing a word. Do you know?" Dong Cheng said with great advice.

"I know, I'm here." said the guard.

"Okay, wait for me for a while."

After saying that, Dong Cheng entered his study and came out and handed it to the guards after a while. Before the guards left, Dong Cheng gave him another instructions and calmly prepared for tomorrow.

After getting ready, Dong Cheng's worried heart finally calmed down. After lunch, he practiced several times in the afternoon and asked someone to invite some dancers who had just come to Luoyang a few days ago to come and dance to cheer him up.

I had a very unhappy afternoon. On the way back to my room by the servants after getting drunk, Dong Cheng whispered: "Tomorrow will be successful!"
