"Xiang Guo is wise. Li Ru congratulated.

"Huh. Dong Zhuo chuckled and said, "Do you know why I want to keep you?"

"I don't know. ”

"Ben Xiang remembers that you once told Ben Xiang that since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Ancient Dynasty, no human emperor who has cultivated to become an immortal will ever be allowed to appear, even if he is as strong as the First Emperor, he can't escape the calculations of monks, gods and Buddhas. ”

"What about the original appearance!" Dong Zhuo looked at the shocked Li Ru faintly and said: "This appearance is only the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, even if the actual power is monstrous, but it is still missing a reputation, so this appearance can not embark on the road of cultivation." ”

"This. Facing Dong Zhuo's eyes full of ambition and oppression, Li Ru completely lost his temper.

He has followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and he knows very well that Dong Zhuo is a person with extremely strong ambition and desire, so he can continue to move forward bravely, and this is also an important reason why Li Ru is willing to surrender to Dong Zhuo.

And the facts have also proved that Li Ru's ability and vision are correct, he is a down-and-out scholar from a poor family, plus Dong Zhuo, a well-off son from a local tyrant's family of a border landlord, with a poor Xiliang army that is not even prepared with weapons and armor, and without the intervention of other external forces, they climbed to the peak of power in the Han Dynasty at this time with their own efforts, what a legendary story.

To be honest, Li Ru at this time is actually satisfied, unless he finds another way to help Dong Zhuo to the throne, otherwise he will already be able to reach the peak of his life at this time.

However, Li Ru did not want Dong Zhuo to fight for the throne, and the prime minister was the position that Dong Zhuo was really suitable for.

Because Dong Zhuo has two fatal shortcomings, even if he climbs to the throne with great difficulty, it is absolutely impossible to sit firmly in the world.

One is that Dong Zhuo has no heirs, only a granddaughter, and Dong Zhuo himself is over half a hundred years old, he was fine when he was in power, and he really wanted to fight for the throne, which was the biggest hidden danger for the Dong Group.

The second is that the Dong group is an out-and-out armed army, except for a few grain and grass officers in the army, there is no literati under Dong Zhuo's command who can help him.

He is in power, and the major scholar families still have the possibility of forbearance, but if he really takes that step, the world will repeat in an instant.

Li Ru also explained this to Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo had just entered Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo also agreed clearly at that time.

But I didn't expect that although Dong Zhuo didn't regret it today, he set his sights on asking for immortals.

This made Li Ru a little shocked and at a loss, because he had never thought about this problem, as a scholar under the culture of Zhuzi, Li Ru's lifelong ideal was to govern the country and level the world, and the great achievements that have been passed down through the ages.

As for the Immortal Dao, although Li Ru knew that it was true, but the immortal fate was hard to find, the person of the Left Dao, Li Ru had some teachings, but the real Daoist Li Ru had never seen it.

"This immortal asked if it was not Confucian's strength, and Confucianism didn't know it at all. Li Ru replied with an embarrassed face.

"Well, I know that you don't know very well, but I also know that you have some connections with those people who are on the left side of the world. ”

"Now that the prime minister is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the status of one person is above ten thousand people, it shouldn't be difficult for you to gather some capable people in the name of the prime minister!"

"It's not difficult, my subordinates have had a few good cooperation with some leftists for the convenience of marching and fighting. ”

"Now the magnates of Xiangguo, these left-handed people who have almost no hope of immortality, there must be many people who have taken refuge in Xiangguo for glory and wealth, and only some official promises and gold and silver rewards are enough to summon a large number of such people. Li Ru said reassuringly.

"Well, in that case, let's go!"

"I remember that it doesn't matter if the people of the left path gather more, but the kind of lawlessness to the extent of unscrupulousness, the devil who is wanton at every turn and the baby, women and children practice evil skills, forget it, this kind of madman doesn't want to touch it. ”

"Practicing magic skills is nothing, but practicing to the point that you are crazy, that book respects and stays away. Dong Zhuo instructed.

"Yes, Confucianism understands. Li Ru nodded in response.

In fact, even if Dong Zhuo doesn't say it, Li Ru will never introduce that kind of madman to Dong Zhuo, for Li Ru, who has learned some strange ways of luck, although luck is wonderful, it is not completely imperceptible and estimated.

Just by looking at a person's background and acquired experience, you can roughly estimate the person's luck and future achievements.

And the people of the left path in the cultivation world are just because they don't have the title of orthodox cultivators.

Most of them rely on some remnant short stories to grope for cultivation, because they do not have a complete lineage, they can only grope for cultivation on their own, so in order to move forward, they have to dabble in various other miscellaneous sciences in order to bypass the class, so this kind of people can all be called casual cultivation.

Although there are some people who hurt nature and reason, and their luck is damaged, most of them are not heavy, otherwise they would have caused trouble.

Most of them can only be regarded as mixed, although there will be some luck loss to Dong Zhuo when they are summoned, it is definitely not big, and the impact and benefits are almost the same.

But if it's the kind of demonic person who has no scruples at all, it's different.

Even Li Ru and others know that the orthodox Demon Dao method has long been cut off in the human world, and the rest are all demonic Dao with no future, belonging to the kind of cultivation path that is 100% towards going to the devil as long as it is practiced.

This kind of person completely ignores humanity and luck, and can do anything in order to cultivate demonic skills, and he is 100% full of people with deep karma.

In addition to implicating Dong Zhuo's own luck in a large number of ways, summoning them is simply a matter that outweighs the loss.

Although I don't know why Dong Zhuo also understands this truth, Li Ru will only feel happier about this.

If Dong Zhuo knew the relief in Li Ru's heart at this time, he would definitely scoff at his thoughts.

"Lao Tzu came here to collect the cultivation exercises, those people of the left path can give anything in order to seek immortals, Lao Tzu corroded his heart with glory and wealth, and at the same time integrated and compiled the cultivation exercises to seek the benefits of the immortal path to lure the eight or nine achievements to make them obediently hand over their incomplete exercises. ”

"But those guys who have become crazy people after practicing demon skills, no matter what I think, it is impossible for Lao Tzu to make people obedient, it is better to wait for my strength to increase greatly, and directly kill people to take credit!"

"It's also for the sake of heaven. ”

"When you go back and do this, take that Cao Cao with you, and let him read out everything in the appointment announcement, you just need to control the general direction and select the candidates. Dong Zhuo finally said casually.

"Well, yes, Xiangguo. "Although I don't know when that Cao Cao caught Dong Zhuo's eyes, Li Ru has always been unkind of opinion-free about this kind of trivial matter.

Don't mention Dong Zhuo's private meeting here.

On the other side, Taifu Yuan is ashamed of the mansion, and Taifu Yuan is ashamed of himself and a group of old ministers are also holding another collective meeting, of course, eighty or ninety percent of its content is anti-Dong.

This time was no exception.

"What does Dong Zhuo want to do, he dares to meddle in the appointment and dismissal of my scholar's official position, is he crazy?"

"Yes, the appointment and dismissal of officials has always been done by our scholars, even when His Majesty was in the court, he relied on the strength of our scholars, and now Dong Zhuo dared to personally intervene in this matter, and he didn't know what he could do. Da Ru Ma Riyan shouted angrily.

"Yes, Taifu, this matter can't be left to the thief like this, do you have any ideas?" asked another person.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhen, who had been there all the time, opened his eyes and looked at everyone and said, "Your heart, Yuan understands, but now it's too early to speak. ”

"Don't you forget, this big man is still in the hands of our family, no matter what Dong Thief does, he can't do without the help of our family. ”

"Although because of the Xiliang Army, we have temporarily compromised, but in addition to the vicinity of Luoyang and the Xiliang land of Chang'an, he Dong Thief has the power to meddle in local affairs. ”

"The land of Kanto is our territory, no matter what conspiracy and tricks Dong thief has, as long as we seal the news together, he can show him what he wants to see, and the things on paper are still left to us to write. ”

"The old man still doesn't believe it, he is a good family with no foundation, and he really has the ability to meddle in the place beyond me. Yuan said with a sneer.

"It's too Fu Gaoming!" As soon as they heard that Yuan was ashamed and made it clear that he was going to bully Dong Zhuo, he couldn't help it, and even if he knew, there was no way to deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, everyone immediately came back to their senses and said congratulatorily.

"Hmm. Yuan Zheng, who was congratulated by everyone, nodded with a chuckle and said: "Compared with the first thing, it is the matter of amnesty for the world's taxation, and I can do a lot of things!"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Yuan Zhiyin smiled and said: "Doesn't Dong Zhuo want to give amnesty to the world's miscellaneous taxes? That's okay! I'll help him later, the whole world doesn't have to pay taxes, I think how can he maintain his Xiliang army and rely on looting? Ah! Hahahaha"

"Hahaha.........." everyone laughed out loud.

After solving the two ideas that suddenly popped up today for Dong Zhuo, many representatives of the world left one after another.

"Originally, you came with the old man!" After sending off the last Yang Biao, Yuan Zhen instructed Yuan Shao, who had been following him.

"Yes, uncle. Yuan Shao, who was also going to say goodbye and ask for peace, responded respectfully.

"At the beginning, our Yuan family's opportunity came. In the study, Yuan said to Yuan Shao excitedly.

"What does uncle mean?" asked Yuan Shao cautiously.

"I know you must have wondered why I asked you to induce He to go in and pull Dong Zhuo into Luoyang!" Yuan replied to the question: "That Dong thief is not a good person at first glance, his luck is like a greedy wolf, and he is an out-and-out battlefield general, this person can only be sent out, and must not be pulled into the central power, otherwise the greedy wolf is in his own right, and there will be a danger of backlash without the suppression of the real dragon." ”

"But that's what I did!"

Yuan Shao listened in a cold sweat, he knew that he was about to involve a big secret, a secret that belonged to the Yuan family.

At this time, Yuan Shao was both frightened and excited.

"You must not know why?" Yuan said to himself, "Let me tell you, because our Yuan family ancestors once received the approval of the immortals, and there will definitely be a phoenix life among the descendants." ”

"The person of the phoenix life, if he has the opportunity to go through the death of rebirth in the world affairs, then he can turn into a fire dragon life, and have the luck and fate to reach the peak of the dynasty. ”

"For this ancestor has been planning for many years, and now your generation is the generation of the people who were calculated by the immortals to be born out of the phoenix, you and the highway are the most outstanding people in the generation of the Yuan family, although I like you more, but just in case, the highway can not be given up. ”

"What does uncle mean?" said Yuan Shao, swallowing his saliva.

"That's right, the big man is dying. Yuan Zhen said without hesitation: "The person who did it must be Dong Zhuo." ”

"You understand. ”

Shao understood. Yuan Shao nodded in shock.

"Hmm. Yuan Zhen nodded and continued: "Dong Zhuo's actions are getting bigger and bigger now, I think he has lost patience with us people, you complete the task he assigned as soon as possible this time, and go to Bohai to wait for the opportunity after you are done!"

"The matter of the Kanto tax amnesty, you have to make a snack, and it is extremely important to do it to the point that everyone knows. ”

"This is not just to pit Dong Zhuo, but also to pit other dragons that have risen up after the chaos in the world in the future, giving you and the road a better starting point. ”

"Compared with the family, my Yuan family is the best in the world, enough for you to rise from the south and the north of the highway, when the time comes, it will be a dragon or a worm, and you brothers will compete with each other!"

"After all, they are all surnamed Yuan. ”

"Yes, uncle. Yuan Shao replied respectfully.

"Well, let's go!" suddenly spit out the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years, and Yuan Shao was also a little tired, so he immediately waved his hand to Yuan Shao and motioned him to go down and rest!

In the next few days, just when the world was seizing the time to secretly arrange, Dong Zhuo made some big moves.

First of all, the four commanders and captains of the Xiliang Army punished themselves and pleaded guilty together, apologizing for the previous robbery.

Although the people didn't believe it at the time, after that, the Xiliang Army did begin to sweep away its own habit of looting in one fell swoop and began to maintain the law and order of the common people, especially the Fang City, commercial streets and other places, and the rumors of the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo in the entire Luoyang City also began to change.

"Although these Xiliang uncles are panicked when they look at people, and something is not quite right, at least now these uncles are no longer making trouble and harming people, but they have started to do some serious things, but they are much better than the original officials of Luoyang Tingwei. This is a new sense that the vast majority of the people have for the Xiliang Army a few days later.

And just when the major families began to speculate about the conspiracy intentions of Xiliang Jun and Dong Zhuo, Dong Xiangguo, who was in power and opposition, was actually interested in asking for immortals, and openly recruited immortal cultivators to ask for advice.

In this regard, some people felt incredible, some people scoffed, and some people gloated, but when the Xiangguo Mansion really spread this kind of recruitment notice, everyone understood that Dong Zhuo was really here.
