[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

34 – The End of Winter

That winter, when Cao Cao moved his troops to eliminate the Black Bandits.

The heroes of each region were each showing their own movements.

* * *

Changan, the new capital of a country.

“Queook.”

Dong-tak, a large man who seemed to have difficulty holding up his body, was lying on his bed with his stomach turned over.

There was a sword by his side that could be taken out at any time and cut down anyone, and a gold cord was spread out by his side that no one could come close to.

“Sang-guk.”

A man with a sharp look cautiously approached and bowed. He had slitted eyes and a cunning look like a snake.

“Yes, reason. What brought you to visit me today?”

reason.

As Dong-tak’s counselor, he assisted Dong-tak for a long time and was adept at plotting all kinds of conspiracies under Dong-tak.

Dong Tak himself referred to himself as a ‘bag of trickery’, and it was Lee Yu’s suggestion that he burn down the entire city of Luoyang and move the capital to Chang’an.

Dong-tak makes choices and decisions, but it is Lee Yu’s job to make choices.

“It’s been a really long time since I served you.”

Dong-tak was curious about what other proposals this man might have brought. The reason is that most of the time I pause when saying something like that is when I’m talking about the greater cause.

He made his fortune like this when he took over Luoyang in Chang’an upon hearing the news of the Shipsangsi Rebellion, when he dethroned the emperor and established a new emperor, and when he abandoned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang’an to avoid the rebels.

“The grace of Shangguo is truly deep, and all the ministers look up to Shangguo…”

“Enough. That’s enough. Get to the point.”

“…It’s time.”

Lee Yu straightened his back and knelt down on both knees in front of Dongtak.

“Now the Han imperial family is over. It is time for Shangguo to become the master of heaven.”

“tap!”

Dongtak patted his stomach with his hand and stood up.

“Those are truly attractive words. Yes, it’s time. I’ve been waiting inside. I’ve been waiting for you to say those words.”

Sigh.

The chair Dongtak was lying on creaked. He got up, put on his coat, and quenched his appetite.

“But will the ministers and officials of the court remain silent? The emperor is still alive. The blood of the imperial family remains.”

“The public sentiment has already left. All you have to do is ascend to the throne and subdue the remaining rioters in the central plains.”

“hmm….”

Dong-tak was in agony as he moved the gold string. In his hand was a sword that he could swing at any time.

“Objectively, is it possible to plan the world with just the power of Chang’an and Yangzhou?”

“It is possible. Didn’t you watch the downfall of those people? They seem to be running a conspiracy, but in the end, they are obsessed with protecting their own home. After the king ascends to the throne, if you seduce him with government posts, gold, and silk, someone will Why don’t you come over?”

“If one person starts to collapse, mushrooms will collapse?”

“Yes. Whether it’s to protect the family or for my own life, in the end, when Sang-guk conquers the central plains, everyone will bow their heads. All we have to do is trample on the two of them.”

“Two! Those rotten bastards. You were obviously talking about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?”

“yes.”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Dong-tak gritted his teeth every time he thought about their names. In particular, every time Jojo saw the gold string, he felt like tearing his body to pieces.

“Now they are arbitrarily holding public positions in the provinces and calling themselves Giju and Yeonju. Even Yuan Shao tried to enthrone Yu as emperor.”

“What? hahahaha, the emperor I established is a puppet, right?”

Ujijik!!

“What are they? There is nothing to see in the child of a lowly slave. The same goes for the daughter of a eunuch.”

Dong-tak ripped the gold string with his hand.

“Yes, Emperor. Weifang also established a new Han dynasty, so there is nothing I can’t do. That’s why! Gather all the major and minor subjects into the royal court. I will rule over them myself.”

“My name.”

that day.

Jang On, a sailor from Jingju, was beaten to death by Dong Tak in front of the government officials.

The reason is an internal conflict with Wonsul.

It is unknown whether he had a secret relationship with Won-sul or not, but Dong-tak went on a rampage with his bleeding fists, saying that he would send anyone who dared to confront him to Jang-on’s side.

Suddenly.

Jang On’s head was cut off by a young man with his head pulled back, and he was presented in front of the gates of Jangan Fortress.

The people of Chang’an became more and more terrified, and their gaze towards the imperial family also became more despairing.

someone.

I hope that a hero will appear who will stop Dong-tak’s tyranny.

The people are even deprived of their rice bowls and endure the humiliation of going to Dongtak County to get just enough food to feed their children.

Even high-ranking officials like the deceased Jang On barely managed to sustain their meager wealth, barely enough to eat one meal a day.

They were spending a cold winter under Dong Zhuo’s tyranny.

* * *

“Uwaeeek!!”

The old man vomited in the dirt. His mouth was full of blood, and next to him was a woman of peerless beauty, comforting the old man.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, it’s okay, it’s okay. It was…a terrible thing.”

Wang Yun, an old man holding the position of an apostle, looked up at the sky with bloodshot eyes.

“Is that person truly a monster? Is this a trick from heaven sent to end the Han imperial family? Jang On, even Jang On….”

“Cheer up. Someday, someone will succeed.”

“It’s no use. Don’t you know who’s next to him? There’s Yeo Bong-seon. There’s Yeo Bu. There’s that human butcher who changed two of his fathers!”

“Yeo Bong-seon….”

The woman was silent at Lu Bu’s name. Wang Yun cried, holding on to Jang On’s blood-splattered clothes.

“It is clear that King Chupae was reborn as Lü Bu to take revenge on Liu Bang. By protecting Dong Zhuo, he is trying to destroy the Han Dynasty.”

“How could something like that happen? It’s just that Dong-tak is bad.”

“…What you are saying is strange. How can you protect Lü Bu?”

The woman fell silent at Wang Yun’s curious eyes.

“Say it. Come on! Something happened with that guy!”

“Elder, a guest has come to visit….”

“…Hmm, I will ask you sternly about this later.”

Wang Yun struggled to get up and straightened his clothes.

“So, who came?”

“…This is Lu Bu.”

“……huh?”

“The man you just mentioned, Lü Bu, has come to visit.”

dump.

Wang Yun sat down on the floor. And I was in pain, tearing out my head.

“Ah, Dong-tak! He sent a butcher to kill me! The Grand Duke has already killed Jang-on, so now he is trying to kill me by cutting me down in my own home!”

“Adoptive father.”

“Yes, I will fake it as a suicide! I will make it as if I vomited blood in anger over Jang On’s death! No, that would be better. I could just cut off his head and kill him as a traitor! Sun-ah! Cho-seon-ah!”

Wang Yun grabbed the shoulder of the woman, Cho-seon.

“Run away! I’ll take my time with Lu Bu, so you quickly run away through the back door!”

“…General Lu Bu has come to see me.”

“what?”

“That’s actually it.”

In a trembling voice, Chu Xian told Wang Yun about his relationship with Lu Bu.

It is said that Lu Bu secretly visited and met with Cho-seon every day Wang Yun was away.

He couldn’t treat Dong Zhuo’s adopted son, Lu Bu, carelessly, so he confronted him first.

Every time Lu Bu came, he brought silk and grain as gifts, and he asked Wang Yun to keep his visit a secret.

“…So you’re saying I’ve been eating the rice that Dong-tak’s son gave me? Huh, huh…”

Wang Yun sat down on the floor again.

“How did you hide it? How did you not tell me? What would the government officials think of me? What would the emperor think of me!”

“I’m sorry, old man.”

“At this point, it’s as if I’m on the same team as them! That’s right, if I keep doing this, I end up becoming in-laws with Dong-tak…”

Moment.

Wang Yun’s gaze returned to Chu Xian.

He looked at Diao Chan for a while and then knelt down in front of him.

“Seon, forgive me first. Forgive this father.”

“How can you do this?! Stop, stop…!”

Thump, thump.

Wang Yun hit his head on the floor as if committing a grave sin.

The thin-boned old man knelt down, and tears flowed from Cho-seon’s eyes in the rain.

“Please, listen to this father’s request.”

“…Thanks to my adoptive father, I was able to survive. My life is yours, so please do as you wish.”

Choseon bowed before Wang Yun. Wang Yun wiped his tears with his sleeve and struggled to get up.

“…I will bring a female general. Dress yourself up.”

There was no need for long words. Cho-seon went into the room to fix her makeup with a miserable look on her face.

After a while.

“The Apostle welcomes me like this, so I don’t know what to do.”

“hahahaha, how could I treat a general of a country coldly? Come inside.”

After Wang Yun had finished grooming himself, a tall young man named Lu Bu followed him and sat down in front of him.

Lu Bu kept turning his head with an awkward expression as if he was looking for something.

“…I can guess why the female general came here.”

“Hmm, that’s….”

“Sang-guk told you to kill me, right?”

“yes?”

Lu Bu’s eyes widened. Wang Yun knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Bu with a calm face.

“Kill her. But I have one request from the general. I have an adopted daughter, so please spare her. No, if you don’t mind, please take her away.”

“Apostle, what are you talking about? The reason I came today was not to harm Mr. Sado. I…uh, hmm.”

Lu Bu sat across from Wang Yun and helped him up.

“…I will shamelessly confess. This Yeo Bong-seon, I dared to keep it a secret from the elder Apostle and had several secret relationships with the elder’s daughter.”

“yes?”

“I was worried that the elder Apostle would dislike me. But, there was something I couldn’t control…”

“…Ah, is that so?”

Wang Yun sat down in his seat, sighing in a complex and complex way, as if he was both helpless and relieved.

“……In the end, is it fate?”

Mumbling something unintelligible to himself, Wang Yun shook his head left and right a few times and then stood up.

“I will bring the child. General, please wait here.”

“Elder!”

Lu Bu’s mouth was torn apart as if it were going to hit her ears.

Wang Yun bowed, opened the door, and went out to pick up Chu Xian.

Moment.

Could it be because it was reflected in a small spring in the manor?

Wang Yun’s face was distorted as if he was sighing in sadness.

* * *

A harsh winter has passed for everyone in the midfield.

When spring flowers bloom and warmth begins to gradually build up in the ground.

“Hey, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan?”

I burst into cheers at the news I heard from Gyegyo.

“Now that Yuan Shao has won, Yuan Shao’s allies Cao Cao and Liu Biao will be stabilized… Naturally, the price of my land will rise as well.”

My sincere congratulations on Yuan Shao’s victory.

“As expected, Won So. As a son of the Three Dukes, his skills are amazing.”

How can I say that the person who increases the price of my land is a cost bastard?
