Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.

The new emperor Liu Wei sat on the golden dragon chair and glanced at the courtiers below, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly.

"Ministers, I have a good thing to announce to you today." Liu Wei glanced at Dong Zhuo, and then immediately looked away.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other a little, especially those courtiers who didn't know yet.

There are people who have doubts, of course, there are also people who secretly rejoice, such as Zhang Yangyi, Marquis of Jinyang, and others, because they are all people who are looking forward to Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, returning to Luoyang City as soon as possible.

"Now that the northern Xiongnu have been settled, a large part of this is due to the fact that Ding Yuan was assassinated in the state, and now, General Ding has actually been recalled by me to Luoyang City to assist me in planning national affairs, and I am here, General Xuanding."

The faint voice of the new emperor Liu Wei slowly sounded in the palace, like a thunder ringing in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all speculating about the intentions of the new emperor, why he recalled Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, to Luoyang City at this time, and what was the relationship between this and Dong Zhuo.

After all, everyone knows at this time that in today's imperial court, Dong Zhuo covers the sky with one hand, and Ding Yuan's return will definitely cause a check and balance on Dong Zhuo's forces, so how can Dong Zhuo ignore it.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed, his brows were tightly locked, and he stared at the new emperor Liu Wei all of a sudden, and suddenly had doubts in his heart.

Only then did he realize that Liu Wei hadn't seen him in the past few days, not because Zhang Qiuyue had collided with him on his wedding day, but because he had been waiting for Ding Yuan to return to Luoyang City, so as to give him a dismount.

In this regard, Dong Zhuo felt extremely unhappy in his heart.

At this moment, outside the main hall, a middle-aged man in military uniform slowly walked in, this person's gray beard was clean and neat, and he looked very wise and powerful.

Ding Yuan passed by the courtiers, slowly stepped forward, and slowly knelt down in front of the new emperor Liu Wei.

"The last general, Ding Yuan, see Your Majesty."

Ding Yuan's voice was neither humble nor arrogant in the hall, but it sounded extremely harsh to some people's ears.

"General Ding, please get up quickly, I have been looking forward to your return for a long time." The new emperor Liu Wei was overjoyed and stood up from the dragon chair with some excitement.

"General Ding is really the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and now that the Northern Huns have been decided, General Ding can be said to have made great contributions."

"This is the duty of a minister." Ding Yuan said sonorously.

"Hehehe...... Now that General Ding has returned to Luoyang, the matter of the northern annexation can be put aside for the time being, and he can rest in Luoyang City for a while. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ding Yuan nodded respectfully, and slowly came to Dong Zhuo's side, glancing at him meaningfully.

This glance suddenly made Dong Zhuo feel a hint of provocation, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hehehe...... General Ding is the pillar of my Han Dynasty, and now he can return to Luoyang City to assist His Majesty in managing the government, which is really a blessing for my Han Dynasty! ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, the atmosphere in the entire court was immediately raised to a more tense level, because everyone felt a trace of ridicule in Dong Zhuo's words, or they fought back......

Everyone knows that Ding Yuan's return to Luoyang this time was a secret decree of the new emperor Liu Bian, and even many courtiers, including Dong Zhuo, did not know that there was such a play in the last dynasty today.

And the reason why the new emperor Liu Wei hid it from everyone is probably because he also has his own plans, maybe he deliberately didn't tell Dong Zhuo, because this can give him a dismount.

"Hahaha...... What Dong Xiangguo said is extremely true, now that our Han Dynasty is full of talents, and our Dong Xiangguo and General Ding have returned, and the restoration of my Han world is just around the corner......" Liu Wei didn't care about Dong Zhuo's yin and yang weird tone, but directly followed his words, and even stood up excitedly and laughed loudly.

Hearing this, everyone in the court also began to laugh, but the dark colors were very embarrassing, except for Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Zhang Wen, as well as Lu Wei, Liang Jianyi and others looked serious, and did not tend to be inflammatory, but for those officials, especially those who were being excluded by Dong Zhuo, they laughed a little excitedly, and gradually, even Dong Zhuo began to laugh faintly without a trace......

Ding Yuan looked at Dong Zhuo, who was almost a little crazy, and couldn't help but glance at each other, without showing the slightest fear......

......

After retiring from the court, all the courtiers slowly left one after another, however, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan did not move at all, and gradually, after everyone left, the two turned their heads and stood at each other with a tacit understanding.

"General Ding, welcome back!" Dong Zhuo smiled faintly.

"Dong Xiangguo, I heard that Dong Xiangguo is now in charge of Luoyang's military power, and he is also a prestige above the court! Now that Ding is back, he also asks Dong Xiangguo to take more care. Ding Yuan looked at Dong Zhuo and said lightly.

"Hehehe...... This is natural, General Ding is the pillar of the country, if General Ding has any doubts in the court in the future, Dong Zhuo will definitely do his best. However, ......" Dong Zhuo suddenly raised his head and looked at Ding Yuan, and said with a somewhat sinister smile: "Since General Ding has returned, you must remember that this court is not as good as it was now, and you must consider the consequences before doing things!" ”

Hearing this, Ding Yuan felt a hint of threat when he heard it, but he didn't feel any fear, he smiled: "Dong Xiangguo, did you remember that a while ago, General He Jin was assassinated and killed?" ”

"Huh?"

"Hehehe...... Ding Yuan thought, I'm afraid Dong Xiangguo may have forgotten, but Ding Yuan just wants to remind Dong Xiangguo, although you have the military power in Luoyang, but you also have to be careful of your own life, in case you are accidentally assassinated one day, with Dong Xiangguo's current status in the court, it is really a loss for our Han Dynasty! Ding Yuan inadvertently stroked the beard on his chin and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was taken aback, and he suddenly remembered that when he conspired with Zhang Rangyi and others to assassinate the general He Jin, he had used an extremely fierce warrior to go to the guard general Zhang Liao.

And Zhang Liao's origin comes from Ding Yuan......

Dong Zhuo raised his head suddenly, and when he heard what Ding Yuan said, he was also threatening himself, which meant that if he went too far, Ding Yuan could kill him directly.

Well, it's as simple as that. This is the most barbaric way, but ...... It's also very effective, just as effective as when they assassinated the great general He Jin in the first place.

This is also ...... Threat.

Dong Zhuo's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after enduring it for a while, he said slowly: "Thank you General Ding for reminding me, Dong Zhuo has this matter in mind after all......"

After speaking, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, and then turned his head and left directly.

Ding Yuan was left alone to stand on top of the main hall and think alone.

"Hehehe...... General Ding. ”

Suddenly, the voice of the new emperor Liu Wei suddenly came.

Ding Yuan was startled, and quickly turned his head, and found that the new emperor Liu Wei was slowly walking out from behind the main hall at this time.

"Your Majesty!"

Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment and was about to kneel, but was stopped by the new emperor Liu Wei.

"General Ding doesn't have to be polite, and he doesn't have to do it in private in the future." The new emperor Liu Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ding Yuan suddenly felt a trace of apprehension, and asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty came to see Ding Yuan at this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Hehehe...... General Ding, you also know that the reason why I called you back to Luoyang City without Dong Zhuo was actually helpless! Hey......" After speaking, the new emperor Liu Wei sighed slowly.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" In fact, Ding Yuan understood in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't understand too much, he had to understand and pretend not to understand.

"Hey...... General Ding doesn't know that Dong Zhuo is now covering the sky with one hand in the court, and even I don't dare to touch his hair, otherwise my position as the emperor may be in danger, after all, most officials in the court now directly obey him! The new emperor Liu Wei complained directly, and then continued: "But now the situation has begun to slowly improve, just because now that General Ding has returned, I also hope that General Ding can suppress Dong Zhuo and balance the entire court." ”

"Please rest assured, this matter is ...... In fact, Marquis Zhang of Jinyang and Marquis Zhang had already mentioned this matter to Ding Yuan, which was also Ding Yuan's idea of returning to Luoyang at this time, and as for Dong Zhuo, Chen wanted to ...... He didn't have the audacity to mess with me. "After all, Ding Yuan has been stationed on the northern border for a long time, so he has a lot of soldier's aura on his body.

"Hahahaha...... With General Ding's words, then I will be relieved, and Marquis Zhang ...... I heard that he had recently gathered some officials who were being squeezed out by Dong Zhuo, and now they were in a group, and only one central figure was missing, and this ...... It was for General Ding. After all, the new emperor Liu Wei is the emperor, and he is particularly concerned about Dong Zhuo's affairs, so he naturally perceives the current situation of those officials who have been bullied by Dong Zhuo in advance.

"Minister, understood." Ding Yuan nodded.

"Hehehe...... It's good to understand, then I'm here to say thank you to General Ding. The new emperor Liu Wei saluted Ding Yuan, and then nodded.

"If the minister doesn't dare, the minister will retire first." After speaking, Ding Yuan also saluted the new emperor Liu Wei, and then quietly turned around and left.

Above the main hall, the new emperor Liu Wei stood alone in the center of the hall, looking at Ding Yuan's fading back, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
