When Li Ru came to the palace, Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot cavalry, was also in the palace.

"General Dong came to see Your Majesty because of Wang Libing's Kou Chang'an?" Li Ru met the puppet emperor and asked Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng snorted coldly: "As a courtier, you should be loyal to the king and serve the country, how can you be like you and Lu Bu, who want to dominate Chang'an and send troops in private, but the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, you angered that Wang Li, and your majesty was also implicated with you." ”

"Uncle Yue, be cautious!"

The puppet emperor coughed lightly, Dong Cheng immediately reacted, this Li Ru was a poisoner under Dong Zhuo back then, and Lu Bu was also a villain who killed people without blinking, and now the defense and army in Chang'an City are in their hands, and they really can't quarrel with them, but the evil anger in their hearts can't come out, and their faces are blue and white for a while, so they simply retreat to the side and stop talking.

It turned out that this Dong Cheng was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the general of Dong Zhuo's baby son-in-law Niu Fu, who had participated in Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and had a great relationship with Na Dong, Dong Huang and others, and was Dong Zhuo's minions. Because her daughter married the puppet emperor and became a concubine, she became the puppet emperor's cheap father-in-law.

Hum! If this guy hadn't given birth to a good son, how would he dare to play prestige in front of him?

Li Rupi glanced at Dong Cheng with a smile, and Dong Cheng's heart was shocked, and then Shi Shiran said to the puppet emperor: "Your Majesty, General Dong's words are also very wrong. Thinking that Wang Li supported the young emperor in Luoyang, regardless of the righteousness of the world, he descended to His Majesty as the king of Chenliujun, which is unbearable.

The general of the expedition to the east, Lü Fengxian, and Cao Cao raised an army against the king, not that General Lü wanted to seek Chang'an, but actually to repay Jun's grace. Recently, General Lu almost lost his life on the journey, but General Dong suspected General Lu's intentions in front of His Majesty, which really should not have been done by important ministers of the state. ”

"What Li Shizhong said is very true, please pay attention to your father-in-law's words!" The puppet emperor nodded yes, glanced at Dong Cheng, saw that he apologized to Li Ru, and then asked, "Li Shizhong, you entered the palace so late but also came for this Wang Li?" ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Li is the main emperor of the young emperor, and the soldiers are Chang'an, and the minister entered the palace this time to ask His Majesty what his plans are in the future?" ”

"Intended?"

"Exactly!" Li Ru took a step forward with a wat board and said, "Your Majesty and the Young Emperor of Luoyang are both the sons of the first emperor, and Your Majesty succeeded to Kyushu because of the abolition of the Young Emperor, and now the Young Emperor has placed His Majesty as the king of Chenliu County." Wei Chen wanted to know whether His Majesty was willing to return to Luoyang to be an idle prince, or did he want to continue to tour the world? ”

Li Ru stunned the puppet emperor Liu Xie with a word.

To tell the truth, when the young emperor re-ascended the throne in Luoyang, he announced that the world deposed Liu Xie as the king of Chen Liujun, and he didn't feel anything. After all, the world or Chang'an did not belong to him at that time, he was just a puppet, Dong Zhuo's puppet, and it didn't matter to him whether he was abolished or not.

Even he was very happy, after all, Brother Wang's re-proclaimed emperor meant that Brother Wang would be inseparable from Dong Zhuo, and Brother Wang would definitely kill Dong Zhuo and rescue himself from the sea of suffering.

However, when Dong Zhuo died in front of his eyes, he suddenly had a feeling of turning over as a serf and singing, and the spirit of the king suddenly exploded, and several generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu were appointed one after another.

Of course, he also knew that whether it was Lu Bu or Zhang Ji, they all supported the army and respected themselves, so they might not listen to him, or they might not take him seriously.

At least he used his power or righteousness to live a real emperor's addiction, even if he was taken back to Luoyang by Wang Li in the future and became his king of Chenliujun again, he would be able to boast in front of his children and grandchildren that he had been an emperor, right?

However, Li Ru's words knocked him back to his original form

, and at the same time, the devil in his heart was gradually released.

He has only just taken power, he has just felt that his life has reached the peak, is this the end of this life? Ask yourself, who in this world doesn't want to be an emperor? And what emperor is willing to silently hand over the power in his hands to be an idle prince?

Before the puppet emperor could speak, Li Ru further stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in the previous dynasty, the seven kings opposed the cutting of the domain, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, Liu Piguang, the king of Jinan, Liu Xian, the king of Zichuan, Liu Xian, the king of Jiaoxi, and Liu Xiongqu, the king of Jiaodong, raised the banner together.

They are all uncles or uncles and brothers of Emperor Xiaojing, but once they are defeated, all the princes will be destroyed. The people are more warm, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, isn't Your Majesty afraid that once you return to Luoyang, the young emperor will be suspicious, and Your Majesty himself will follow in the footsteps of his ancestors? ”

"Bold, Li Shizhong, you dare to criticize my imperial brother?" The puppet emperor glared at Li Ru with a fierce voice.

Li Ru was not moved by the words of the puppet emperor, and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you really regard the young emperor as your imperial brother and the young emperor as the lord of the world, Your Majesty would have beheaded the ministers here a long time ago, so why bother talking nonsense with the ministers, why do you keep calling yourself 'I'?" ”

"You!" The puppet emperor pointed at Li Ru and was speechless.

Li Ru didn't give the puppet emperor a chance to breathe, and continued to stab the puppet emperor in the heart, trying to completely release the devil in the puppet emperor's heart: "Your Majesty was born in the royal family, so he naturally knows the rules of the royal family, how can he easily forget it?" These reactions should be what His Majesty is thinking at this moment!

Your Majesty, since you have something to think about, then you have to think about it, once you listen to the false edict and obediently sneak back to Luoyang, then it will be as Fan Hao said: people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat. Your Majesty can only be a salted fish on the chopping board, and you will never be able to turn over again! General Dong, do you think I'm right? ”

Yes, once Liu Xie is deposed as the king of the county, his daughter will become the princess of the county, and he will no longer be the prince of the dynasty, but just a relative of the idle prince, how will he be? Do you also want to hand over the military power to the imperial court again and recognize people to slaughter?

Dong Cheng froze, and a scarlet gradually appeared on his face.

Seeing that his instigation was successful, Li Ru turned to the puppet emperor and continued: "In the former Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two righteous men in Daze Township, rebelled, shouting 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'? These two people are just peasants, they can guide the righteous people of the whole country to fight against the tyrannical Qin, Your Majesty is the dragon son and grandson of Gaozu, the real nobles of Tianhuang, are you not as good as these two? ”

"Say no more!" The puppet emperor shouted violently, and pressed the green tendons of the dragon chair with both hands.

"That's it, since Your Majesty is willing to be a prince who can be slaughtered by others, just like the trembling life in front of Dong Thief that day, what do I Li Ru say?" Li Ru turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Dong Cheng also rushed to Li Ru's side one step ahead of the puppet emperor: "Li Shizhong, do you really support Your Majesty?" ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Cheng, and a trace of ridicule flashed on his face: "General Dong's words are funny, I think that back then, when Li was the lieutenant commander of Hongnonglang, he personally poisoned the young emperor and the Empress Dowager Lingsi on the order of Dong Thief, do you think that the young emperor and the empress dowager Lingsi are the lords of a country, and they will choose to forget to show their big belly?" ”

The puppet emperor's eyes flowed like waves, and it gradually calmed down after a while, and took over the olive branch in Li Ru's hand: "Li Shizhong, Wang Li tens of thousands of horsemen and soldiers Kou Chang'an, successively went down to Han Pass, Hongnong, Tongguan, and repeatedly defeated Xiliang, Cao Cao and Lu Bu. How sure do you think you are to defeat Wang Li and defend Chang'an? ”

Li Ru turned around: "Your Majesty, General Lu has written to Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Li to go to Chang'an

Rescue, with everyone's strength and Chang'an's defense, Wechen thought that we might be able to hold Chang'an for a few months, but we didn't have seven or eight points of certainty to hold Chang'an! ”

"Li Wenyou, you dare to entertain me!" The puppet emperor's eyes rippled again.

Li Ru sighed and continued: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, please listen to Weichen and Your Majesty!" ”

"Accurately, then you can talk about it!" The puppet emperor nodded, and asked the little yellow door beside him to pick up a stool for Li Ru.

Li Ru thanked him and sat down on the stool: "Chang'an Jinggi Heavy Land, Fengyi County has been made by Wang Li, and Jingzhao County Zheng County, Xinfeng and other places have also successively knelt under its farriers. Chang'an is only left with Fufeng County, and the geographical advantage is not in our hands.

And Han Sui, Ma Teng and Li can certainly solve their worries for a while, but everyone is united for interests or righteousness, and they can't make a door like Wang Li's soldiers, and they can still compete in the short term, and contradictions will inevitably breed after a long time, so people also have no chance of winning.

The time and place are favorable, Wang Li has accounted for the second, how to win this battle? Therefore, Weichen and General Lu thought that His Majesty's Longxing land was not in Chang'an. ”

"Where is that?"

Li Ru smiled faintly, and looked at the puppet emperor with confidence: "Yanzhou! Your Majesty's land of Longxing is not in Chang'an, but in Yanzhou! ”

"Yanzhou?"

"Exactly!" Listening to the puppet emperor's increasingly rapid breathing, Li Ru smiled proudly and nodded, "Cao Cao was defeated by Wang Li and withdrew from Sizhou, and more than 10,000 soldiers under his command were all lost in the hands of Wang Li. And because his father Cao Taiwei died in the hands of Zhang, the general of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, he personally led the rest of the army to kill Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao's fame in the sea, living in Bohai for a long time, originally wanted to use Jizhou to enter the Luoyang and the Young Emperor's court, but because Wang Lina was jealous of the virtuous and jealous, he successively sent Han Fu, Liu Bei and Liu Yu to fight against Yuan Shao in the name of the Luoyang court, causing Yuan Shao to still be deeply involved in the war in the Central Plains and unable to get out.

Also, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, the clan of Liu Han, His Majesty ordered General Zhennan and Jingzhou Mu to be named Marquis of Wu. His people were both powerful and powerful in Jingzhou, and they had a good way to lure, so that the people of Wanli were pleased. He also opened a school to love the people and raise scholars, and was also an ally of Yuan Shao.

A few years ago, because of a letter from Wang Li, which provoked the hatred between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, Fancheng and Jiangxia both fell into the hands of Sun Jian. The love generals Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and Lu Gong also died at the hands of Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, and his hatred for Wang Li was like a surging Yellow River.

Your Majesty, imagine that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and General Lu were all cadres of the country, and they were able to recruit good warriors, but they were all Wang Li's personal enemies. Yanzhou is located in the center of Jizhou, Jingzhou and Xuzhou, if Your Majesty abandons Chang'an and becomes the ruler of Yanzhou, will these people be willing to fight against Luoyang and serve Your Majesty?

And although Chang'an is the old capital, but it is full of yellow sand, lack of materials, not as prosperous as Yanzhou, money and food are sufficient, if Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven again, in Yanzhou to give orders, who dares not to obey the world's heroes? Isn't the young emperor of Luoyang also frightened? ”

"Good!"

"But there are still some obstacles to this......"

"What's in the way?"

"Although the city defense of Chang'an is unbreakable, but General Lu suffered heavy losses on this expedition, General Dong Cheng and the athletes under Fu Wan are brave and good at fighting, and they are also rare elite soldiers in our Han family, I hope to ......"

"This is an opportunity for me to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and no one can be a stumbling block to this matter. General Lu and Li Shizhong need to use troops, although the requisition is, I will agree! ”

Puppet Emperor Huo Ran stood up and slapped it on the dragon chair fiercely, his eyes were red, a trace of determination flashed on his face, and there was a trace of murder in his eyes, "If I can regain control of the world one day, you will be my prime minister!" ”
