Showing Diaochan to the inner hall, Wang Yun yelled away his wife and concubines, seated Diaochan on the seat for the lord of the family and prostrated himself in front of the girl.

5 却说那撞倒董卓的人正是李儒。当下李儒扶起董卓，至书院中坐定。卓曰：“汝为何来此？”儒曰：“儒适至府门，知太师怒入后园，询问吕布。因急走来，正遇吕布奔走，云：‘太师杀我！’儒慌赶入园中劝解，不意误撞恩相。死罪！死罪！”

Translation 1:

The man who plowed into Dong Zhuo was none other than his most trusted adviser, Li Ru. Horrified, Li Ru scrambled to help Dong Zhuo into the library, where the preceptor sat down and composed himself. “Whatever brought you here?” gasped Dong Zhuo. “I came in through the main gate,” Li Ru replied. “They told me you’d charged off into the rear garden looking for Lü Bu.

I deserve death punishment! I deserve death punishment!”

Translation 1:

Li Jue and Guo Si would have taken the sovereign’s life, but the other two generals Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, demurred: “The people will never accept the authority of regicides. Rather, uphold the Emperor and lure the lords of the realm into the region Chang’an controls. That way we can pare down the Emperor’s support and prepare to take over at the proper time.”
