Chapter 395: Dong Zhuo's Transformation
"Quiet, in the court, how dare you and the others talk like a vegetable market, and make a lot of noise. Dong Zhuo shouted angrily at the ministers below.
Under the strong murderous aura, there was no doubt that if he said more, he would be pulled out by the guards arranged by Dong Zhuo outside and beheaded for the crime of great disrespect.
The next moment, many courtiers who had been subdued by Dong Zhuo's obscenity many times immediately stopped what they were saying, and continued to listen with a change in their faces.
Seeing that everyone was swallowing their anger, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said: "The second thing is that the Prime Minister feels the poverty and hardship of the people in the world, so he wants to give amnesty to the whole world. β
"All those who have less than 500 acres of thin land in their families will be exempted from tax from this day, no matter what the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are, for a period of ten years. β
"At the same time, the prime minister will also give amnesty to the world, except for the crime of rebellion, all sinners will be pardoned, no longer need to be locked in a cell, those who are responsible for crimes of less than three years will be released on the spot, and those who have more than three years will be transported to Luoyang. β
Of course, if there is a special talent or courage or skill, it can be forgiven. β
"Do you understand?" After speaking, Dong Zhuo asked loudly again.
"The Prime Minister is merciful. "Compared with the first thing before, the second thing obviously has little to do with the nobles and magnates of the clan in front of me, amnesty, reduction, although there is no share of them, but it is also a good deed, so I immediately congratulated him.
Of course, they will never have any good feelings towards Dong Zhuo because of this, the previous sentence that intended to meddle in the appointment and dismissal of traditional officials of the Shi clan has been stuck in their hearts and unable to pull it out.
"Well, now that I know. That's good, and the official announcement will be issued to spread to the world. β
"Well, that's right, Yuan is ashamed. β
"The minister is here. The old Yuan replied.
"Your Yuan family has always had a saying that protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the world, and the matter of just pardoning the sinners and bringing them to Luoyang will be handed over to your Yuan family. β
"I see Yuan Shao! There happens to be a vacancy in Bohai County, Jizhou, if Yuan Shao does a good job, he will go back to Bohai to take up his post! Lest there are always people in their thirties who always achieve nothing, what is it like? Without waiting for Yuan to refute, Dong Zhuo said it to death in two or two.
"This Xiangguo. Yuan said with a worried face.
It's just that as soon as he spoke, Dong Zhuo patted him on the shoulder with one hand, stared at his eyes, and asked fiercely: "Lord Yuan has an opinion on the true appearance, um." β
"Don't dare. Feeling the sharp pain on his shoulder, the elderly Yuan said in a low voice with trembling lips.
"It's good if you don't dare, remember, everything is held back by the prime minister, the prime minister only needs you to obey the command of the prime minister's wise and martial arts, don't make anything happen to the prime minister, otherwise the prime minister's big knife will not recognize people. β
"In my opinion, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by killing, if there is, then kill more, and if you kill more, everything will be solved. Dong Zhuo loudly expressed his own murderous concept, and under the pale face of the ministers, Dong Zhuo announced "Disperse the dynasty." β
Half an hour later, Dong Zhuojun, who returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit down, met Li Ru and many of his generals, such as Hua Xiong, Li Xu, Guo Yan and others.
Among them, a man with a nine-foot-tall face, a handsome face, a heroic posture, and an extremely arrogant expression took the lead in greeting: "Father-in-law. β
"Well, Bong came first, sit on the side. Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle like a laughing Maitreya.
"Father-in-law. "Although I don't know why Dong Zhuo is in a happy mood today, this is a good thing no matter how you say it.
And although Lu Bu didn't go to the court meeting today, he had heard about the two things Dong Zhuo said before he came, so Lu Bu still agreed.
The first thing has nothing to do with him, but the second tax-free thing is a very good thing for Lu Bu, who is also from the bottom, although it still has nothing to do with him now, but it does not prevent Lu Bu from being happy for his former hometown.
"Wenyou, you also sit. Dong Zhuo greeted Li Ru and the others.
"Yes, my lord. Li Ru led the generals to respond.
"Wen You just saw that you came in and you wanted to talk and stopped, do you have something to say to your own person? Now that you are all your own people, you can speak up if you have anything!" After the two sides sat separately, Dong Zhuo first asked Li Ru.
"Yes, my lord. Hearing this, Li Ru stood up and said respectfully: "Lord, Confucianism just wants to ask, didn't you already decide to pacify the Shi clan before?"
"Why is this done today? β
"Meddling in the appointment of officials of the world's corporal clan will inevitably cause a backlash from the world's corporal clan, and the taxes of the people of the world will be reduced or reduced, what are we eating!"
"Hmph, Scholars. Facing Li Ru's bitter persuasion, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said.
Originally, Benxiang also wanted to do this, but Benxiang underestimated the contempt and jealousy of those scholars for pure martial artists like Benxiang. β
"If you are friends with your own will, can you really make those scholars submit to your own command? I can't see it!"
"A few days ago, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family dared to draw his sword against Benxiang above the court, he simply didn't put Benxiang in his eyes, if you hadn't dissuaded him at the beginning, Benxiang would have slapped that vertical man to death, do you really think that his three-legged cat's performance kung fu can threaten Benxiang?" Dong Zhuo shouted angrily.
The casual slapping of the pu fan slapped the fine iron table around him and sank slightly.
"That's, it's the prime minister's generosity that doesn't meet that kid. Facing the angry Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others took the lead in praising him: "The prime minister is generous, and the prime minister is merciful." β
This world is an extraordinary world with immortal paths, but immortal paths are hard to find, and there are some people who have a chance to interfere in the affairs of the world.
Therefore, when it does not involve the immortal path, the force of the mortal world also has its own set of division system.
Of course, because there is a better world to look up to, the division of the bottom force is not very careful, and the entire martial arts realm is divided into three situations: acquired mortal, congenital transformation, and extraordinary spirit.
Although Dong Zhuo himself has not moved for many years, even the newcomer Lu Bu can feel a looming sense of threat from Dong Zhuo, let alone old people like Li Ru who have followed Dong Zhuo for many years.
They all knew that Dong Zhuo was also a strong man who was killed with a sword in the border area, and he was a strong man in the Gang Qi Realm more than ten years ago.
Although no one knows that he has reached that point, there is no doubt that he is definitely a peerless military general of the first rank in the world, so everyone has no doubt that Dong Zhuo can slap that Yuan Shao to death.
"Hmph. Under the congratulations of the generals, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and then let go of the matter, and said instead: "I thought about it before, anyway, these warrior clans simply look down on us generals who fought from the border. β
"If you don't look down on it, you can't look down on it, no matter what you do, people still look down on us, why is Ana's prime minister still running through them?
"As for the backlash, hmph, don't they make small moves if they don't do this?"
"On the contrary, the prime minister has seen through, as long as the prime minister has been in the central control of the government, then they will not let go of the true phase, since sooner or later they are going to turn their faces, then the prime minister will strike first, break their foundation, or force them to rebel now. Dong Zhuo said with a solemn face.
"Meddling in official appointments is just a pretext, restricting military affairs is just an excuse, and amnesty is the real killer feature. β
"Lao Tzu has fought all his life, and he understands that as long as the war drags on, what he fights for is money, food and soldiers. Lao Tzu cut off their taxes first, and while earning fame, what should I do after watching them?"
"Without the support of the people of the world and the small landlords at the bottom, it is impossible for the family to maintain much army even if it has a solid foundation. β
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at the few generals behind Hua Xiong, and said, "Childish, Ado, have you had a lot of fun these days!"
"It's made the whole Luoyang complain! β
"This, the prime minister forgives the sins, the sons and daughters are just poor and afraid, and they have never seen the world, please be gracious to the prime minister! As soon as they heard Dong Zhuo's words, Li Xuan and Guo Yan immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Hmph, you are guilty. β
"The sons and daughters below have followed me Dong Zhuonan to fight in the north for many years, how many hardships have been suffered, how many sins have been suffered, and how many brothers have turned into corpses. β
"Now that Lao Tzu is soaring, he will naturally not forget them, and Lao Tzu has no objection to pleasure. β
"However, what do you lack to mention to Lao Tzu, now this Luoyang City is Lao Tzu's territory, you don't even talk to Lao Tzu, just take it yourself, there is still Lao Tzu in your eyes, ah. Dong Zhuo shouted and scolded.
"The Prime Minister forgives sins. Facing the angry Dong Zhuo, Li urged Guo Yan and the two of them to kneel and kowtow to the ground, and their faces took the two of them, and Ruji and Fan Chou also knelt down together to plead guilty.
"Hmph, do you know now that you are guilty of pleading, then do you know where you are wrong?" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.
"This. After glancing at Dong Zhuo's inquiry, the four people who were panicked all glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Ru on the side with a bewildered gaze, hoping that he could plead with them as before.
"It's incorrigibly stupid. Looking at the small movements of the four people below, Dong Zhuo's fat cheeks couldn't help twitching a little.
"Fengxian, you are from Wuyuan, where is it said that it is the Central Plains, in fact, it is almost the same as the grassland. You've grown up in the frontier since you were a child, and you should have seen the shepherds of the steppe tribes. β
"Yes, father-in-law, my son is indeed from Wuyuan, and he has seen many shepherds since he was a child. Lu Bu, who was watching the play before, heard Dong Zhuo's sudden question, and immediately replied affirmatively.
"O shepherd, tell me how the shepherds treat their flocks and lambs. Dong Zhuo said again.
Li Ru on the side has already begun to mourn for Li Yu and the others.
Before, he thought that Dong Zhuo was angry because Li Qi and the others did not inform Dong Zhuo before doing things, which gave Dong Zhuo a feeling that he was being ignored, which led to the previous questioning, but now it seems that this is not exactly the case.
"But this is a good thing, at least the lord is beginning to face up to the power of the people at the bottom. Li Ru thought happily in his heart.
On the other side, although Lu Bu, who heard Dong Zhuo's question, didn't know why Dong Zhuo asked this kind of question, this was common knowledge in the border grassland, so Lu Bu said directly without hesitation: "Of course, it's the family to take care of it." β
"For the shepherds on the grassland, the sheep are most of their wealth and their only dependence on survival, without the sheep, they will face a life and death crisis, so any shepherd will do his best to take care of the sheep. β
"Even when it comes to slaughter, it is extremely caring and reverent, let alone ordinary. β
"Especially the lambs, which are almost equivalent to the shepherd's own children, and it has often been seen that when the steppe tribes are migrating, if the lamb is weak, the shepherd, including his family, will carry the lamb with him or carry the lamb on his back. β
"Shepherd, hehehe. After listening to Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo sneered and said to Li Qi and the four of them who were lying on the ground: "Look, even the barbaric grassland herdsmen in the border areas know that they must treat their sheep well and protect their food and clothing. β
"But what about you!ah! The wool, the sheep's milk, and the mutton all come out of the flock, don't you four fools know that you dare to directly harm Lao Tzu's flock? β
"Kill them, you all give Lao Tzu and the northwest wind to go!" Dong Zhuo scolded.
"Ah, the people are a flock. Li Qi and the others exclaimed.
In fact, it is not that the shepherds protect the sheep, but they have never regarded the people as their flock, but because they always plunder foreign races in the border areas, they are used to looting and killing the people around them in their leisure time.
But now that they heard Dong Zhuo's words, Li Qi and the four of them immediately turned a corner.
"That's right, how can Lao Tzu harm his own flock! Although he ate well for a while, who will he eat after they die!" Li Qi thought a little strangely in the hearts of the four of them.
"Tell you that since Lao Tzu has become the prime minister of this big man, he plans to stay in this Luoyang City for a long time, so when you guys are doing things, you can't bring the habits of the border land here. β
Dong Zhuo shouted loudly: "Especially not to hurt Lao Tzu's flock, on the contrary, we must protect them, only after they have multiplied and grown, we can collect more wool and goat milk, as well as more mutton suppliers." β
"Yes, Prime Minister. After understanding what Dong Zhuo meant, Li Qi and the others immediately knelt down.
"Hmph, it's good to understand. After seeing these reckless men below, Dong Zhuo immediately nodded and said: "If you make a mistake, you can't go unpunished, so that the four of you will gather the people of Luoyang tomorrow to give you four a little symbolic punishment, so as to vent the people's grievances." 2k reading network
