Idiom story
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taishi Gong Dong Zhuo was authoritarian, and he dared to be angry and dare not speak up and down in the ruling and opposition circles. Honest ministers want to get rid of him, but there is nothing they can do.
Stuart Wang Yun went back to the house and was on pins and needles when he thought of it. Seeing the moonlight walking around on crutches in the middle of the night, I unconsciously walked into the back garden and stood under the flower stand, sighing and crying. Suddenly I heard someone sigh at the Peony Pavilion.
Yun3 looked at it quietly. It turned out to be a geisha named The Story of Diusim in the House. The story of diusim was elected to the government in his early years to teach singing and dancing. Now he is 28 years old, with excellent color and art, and Wang Yun usually raises him as his own daughter. After listening for a long time, Wang Yun suddenly shouted, "Is this bitch having an affair?" Diusim knelt down in a panic and replied, "How dare you have an affair!" " Wang Yun said, "Since you have no affair, why don't you sigh here in the dead of night?" Deusim's story says, "I'll speak my mind for the time being." Wang Yun said, "Don't hide it, just tell me the truth."
The story of diusim said: "My concubine was grateful for the kindness of adults since she was a child, and she was trained to sing and dance and treat her with courtesy since childhood. Although I am shattered, I can't repay my adult's kindness. Seeing adults frown these days, there must be national affairs to worry about, and they dare not ask more questions. Seeing adults walking and sitting again tonight, I felt uneasy, so I sighed deeply, only to be seen by adults. If you are useful, you will go through fire and water, and you will not hesitate! " Wang Yun struck the ground with his cane excitedly and said, "Who would have thought that the Han world was in your hands! Come with me to the art gallery. " The story of losing heart followed Wang Yun to the picture gallery.
Wang Yun sent his wives and concubines back to the painting booth, and let the story of Diusim sit in the middle and kowtow. The story of diusim scared him to kneel on the ground and said, "Why do you want this, my Lord?" Wang Yun said, "You should pity all the creatures in the Han Dynasty!" Tears welled up before the words were finished. Deusim's story says: "I just told adults that I would die if they gave me an order!" "
Wang Yun still knelt down and said, "The people are in danger, and the monarch and his ministers are anxious to accumulate eggs unless you can't save them. Dong Zhuo, the thief minister, tried to usurp the throne, but the minister of civil and military affairs of the DPRK could do nothing. Because Dong Zhuo has an adopted son named Lu Mingbu, who is very brave and good at fighting. During this time, I have observed that these two people are lustful, and now I want to alienate them with a series of tricks. Marry you first to Lu Bu, and then to Dong Zhuo. You played tricks in it, turned their father and son against each other, and let Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo. It's really terrible. Thanks to you, you will help the country to become strong again in the future. I don't know what you think? "
The story of diusim says: "I have promised my adult that I will die without hesitation." I hope the adults will hand me over to Lu Bu at once. I have my own reasons. " Wang Yun said, "If this gets out, I will be wiped out by the whole army." Deusim's story says, "Don't worry, my Lord. If I don't repay my righteousness, I will die in the future! " Wang Yun thanked him again.
The next day, Wang Yun gave a few pearls treasured at home to a craftsman to build a golden crown, and sent someone to secretly give them to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was overjoyed and personally came to thank Wang Yunfu. Wang Yun ordered people to prepare delicious food and wine, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu. He personally greeted him at the gate and went straight to the backyard, asking Lu Bu to sit down. Lu Bu said, "I am the general of Dong Xiangfu's family, and Situ Gui is a court minister. Why do you hold me so high? " Wang Yun said, "No one dares to be a hero except the general. Wang Yun does not disrespect the general's position, but respects the general's talent. " It is difficult for people to swallow horizontally, and Lu Bu's face suddenly lit up. Wang Yun politely toasted Lu Bu in turn. Every time he raises a glass, he praises Tai Shi Dong and Lu Bu for their noble character and unparalleled contribution. Lyu3 bu4 naturally smiled and drank. Seeing that Lu Bu was a little drunk, Wang Yun also drank back or so, leaving only a few concubines around to persuade him to drink. When the wine was half drunk, Wang Yun said, "You can send my younger brother to drink with General Lu."
Before long, the story of two maids in Tsing Yi came out with heavy makeup. Lyu3 bu4 see heaven frightened, ask who this is. Wang Yun said, "This is the story of my daughter Diusim. General Wang Yunmeng has a wrong love, which is similar to a family. Let my daughter meet the general. " He ordered the story of diusim to personally hold the lamp for Lu Bu. Diusim's stories poured wine for Lu Bu one after another, making eyes at him, and also responded to the old saying that "heroes love beauty since ancient times". Wang Yun pretended to be drunk and said, "My son General Lu, come and have a drink. Our family will be under the protection of the general." Lyu3 bu4 asked Diusim story to sit next to him, but Diusim story refused for a pretence. Wang Yun said, "General Lu is my best friend. General Lu won't mind if your junior sits next to me. " Diusim's story then snuggled up to Yun3, and Lyu3 bu4 stared intently, as if a pair of eyes were going to stare into the meat. Wang Yun had a few more drinks. Seeing that the time had come, he pointed to the story of Diusim and said to Lu Bu, "I want to give my daughter to the general as a concubine. Will the general accept it? " When Lu Bu walked out of the dinner, he bowed down and thanked him: "If you really want your love, Lu Bu should reward the dog!" Wang Yun said, "Choose a good day in the morning and evening, and I will personally send my daughter to the general's office." Lyu3 bu4 was overjoyed, and frequently looked at the story of Diusim with his eyes, and Diusim's story also winked at him.
Later, Wang Yun betrothed the story of Diusim to Dong Zhuo. Because of this, Lyu3 bu4 forged a vendetta for losing the story of Sim and Dong Zhuo, and finally killed Dong Zhuo.
