Yuan Shao was really shocked by Dong Zhuo again and again. He didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would dare to use troops against him.

But the current situation is not in my favor. Dong Zhuo's subordinates are all elites who fought with him in Liangzhou to quell the rebellion and fight bloody battles, let's call them the Xiliang Army.

And the main elite of the forbidden army under his command are all in the hands of Huangfu Song, and most of them are newly recruited recruits at the moment, and it may be more than enough to kill eunuchs.

Although the number of forbidden troops is much more than that of the Xiliang Army, if they really make a move, the chances of winning are still greater than that of the Xiliang Army. And if you take the initiative yourself, the responsibility will fall on you afterwards.

If the strength is not as good as others, then you have to admit it. Yuan Shaoqiang held back the anger in his heart and said to Dong Zhuo: "Since this is the case, then it will bother General Dong." ”

"Hmph, it is incumbent on you to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven, let alone hard work." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he walked away with his toes in high spirits, and the team behind him immediately followed.

Although Yuan Shao was angry, he could only follow helplessly.

When the team returned to Luoyang, all the ministers in the city were outside the city to greet them, because Yuan Shao had already sent someone back to inform them in advance.

After getting the news, the ministers were very curious, why Yuan Shao rescued the Son of Heaven not long after he went out. However, they didn't think much about it, they just thought that Yuan Shao's rescue speed was fast, and the Son of Heaven did not go far.

But after they saw Dong Zhuo, they felt strange again in their hearts, wasn't Dong Zhuo persuaded to return to the state, why was he here?

When the team was approaching, a minister went up directly and asked: "General Dong, didn't you go back to Merge State, why are you still in Gyeonggi, and you dare to lead troops to the capital, do you know your guilt!" ”

Dong Zhuo sneered, and didn't forget to look back at Yuan Shao, and couldn't help but mock in his heart: Dare to be a coward who doesn't dare to be, I thought only Lu Zhi didn't know. I didn't expect that after this incident, everyone didn't know.

However, he didn't say Yuan Shao, but replied: "Hmph, if I go back, who will rescue the Son of Heaven?" ”

When he was about to arrive in the capital, Lu Zhi went back with his own soldiers. The Son of Heaven has returned to Luoyang safely, and he is completely relieved, without the slightest intention of striving for merit.

So no one refuted this at the moment, and Dong Zhuo took the credit for himself.

"What, you saved the Son of Heaven?" The ministers were very surprised, because Yuan Shao only said that the Son of Heaven was rescued, but did not say who it was, and they took it for granted that it was Yuan Shao's credit.

"Otherwise, do you think that General Yuan met the Son of Heaven not long after he went out?"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo's heart can be said to be extremely happy, these high-ranking ministers in front of him would not even look at themselves before, and secretly said that they were barbaric and rude, misbehaved, and were barbarians in Liangzhou.

But now this guy is all deflated in front of him, and this surprised look looks even worse than they say they say they are.

At this time, another minister stood up and accused: "Dong Zhongying, you are too unreasonable, now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are here to welcome the Son of Heaven, how can you, as a foreign minister, not avoid it!" ”

"Avoidance?" Hearing this word, Dong Zhuo immediately became angry, "In order to rescue the Son of Heaven, I traveled back and forth day and night, hundreds of miles, and you actually told me to avoid it." Do you think my sword is not sharp enough to cut off your head? ”

The minister was intimidated by Dong Zhuo, his face was bloodless all of a sudden, and he took several steps back.

Dong Zhuo felt very funny when he saw him: "You mediocre ministers who eat the king's fortune, but can't be loyal to the king, the court is chaotic and filthy, you can't help it, causing the Son of Heaven to be exiled, what kind of face do you have to say what makes me avoid, I think it is you who should be avoided!" ”

The ministers were speechless by Dong Zhuo's words, and they were also ashamed in their hearts. I didn't expect that I would be forced to be speechless by this misbehaving Dong Zhuo one day.

Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang with the team at this moment.

Yuan Shao was still standing in place, he looked at Dong Zhuo's departing figure, and he was jealous in his heart. The merit and glory of welcoming back the Son of Heaven should have belonged to him, but now all of this has been snatched away by Dong Zhuo.

Of course, Yuan Shao will not admit that he only cares about his immediate interests and loses the greater interests. He just felt in his heart that if Dong Zhuo hadn't been allowed to enter Beijing at the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

One person did not return to the city with the team, but stayed behind like Yuan Shao. He is the same as Yuan Shao, a subordinate of the general's mansion, Bao Xin. A Chinese face, with just the right beard, gives people the first impression that it is very fair and reliable.

Bao Xin came to Yuan Shao's side and said to him very worriedly: "General Yuan, Dong Zhuo is not only proud of his achievements and arrogant, but as a foreign minister, he directly led the troops into the capital, which shows that he has ill intentions, if he does not get rid of it as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be disaster." ”

Yuan Shao asked rhetorically: "General Bao is too worried, can he, a foreign minister, still make any big waves in this Beijing division?" ”

"The general's words are wrong, Dong Zhuo has a strong army, and he has the merit of saving the driver. If he forcibly stays in Beijing because of his merits, no one will be able to control him at that time. ”

"Strong soldiers? Dong Zhuo only has 5,000 cavalry under his command, even if the soldiers and horses under his command are extremely elite, but there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the city, can't they still control him? ”

Bao Xin also wanted to persuade again: "Dong Zhuo has few soldiers, very elite, and there are many forbidden soldiers, but he is newly recruited." At this moment, if he does not take advantage of his long march and fatigue of soldiers and horses, he suddenly attacks and captures him, and then it will be too late. ”

Yuan Shao was in a bad mood at the moment because of Dong Zhuo's scenery, so he ignored Bao Xin's words: "Okay, don't say it again, I have my own measure in this matter." ”

After saying that, he also led people into the city with him.

Bao Xin looked at Yuan Shao and didn't listen to his advice, and suddenly sighed: "Everyone says that Yuan Shaoguang is a famous man, humble and resourceful. I think it's just a name. Turning a blind eye to such a crisis shows its stupidity.

Luoyang is too dangerous, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I should go back to my hometown first to avoid trouble and wait and see what happens. ”

……

Dong Zhuo led the team to the palace, and the carriage stopped in front of the steps of the main hall.

You have to walk to get here, so Dong Zhuo came to the carriage and said respectfully inside: "Your Majesty, King Chen Liu, we have returned to the palace, please get off the car." ”

Liu Wei and Liu Xie walked out of the carriage.

Dong Zhuo asked a minister to hug Liu Wei, but he wanted to hug Liu Xie, but Liu Xie was unwilling and pushed away Dong Zhuo's outstretched hand.

This made Dong Zhuo embarrassed, and the ministers on the side snickered. thought in my heart: Let you be so arrogant and unreasonable, even a child like Chen Liuwang can't stand it.

There's no way, I can't let myself hug it, and I can't be angry with a child in front of everyone. Dong Zhuo had no choice but to let another minister hug Liu Xie, and he entered the hall side by side with him.

In the main hall, the two children were gobbling up, they had been hungry for a day, and they hadn't eaten much since they were robbed yesterday.

On the way back, Dong Zhuo and the others didn't give them something to eat. But that kind of food was too much for the two pampered little children to swallow, and they weren't hungry at that time, so they endured it until now.

It wasn't until they finished eating that Dong Zhuo said: "This catastrophe frightened Your Majesty and King Chen Liu, and the minister dared to ask, how did those rebels kidnap His Majesty and King Chen Liuwang at that time?" The other ministers were also very curious.

What Liu Wei is not good at dealing with is the scene like this, everyone looks at him, making him nervous and scared and speechless.

At this time, Liu Xie, who was younger than him, told what had happened. Although his voice is still very immature, it is a sign of wisdom to be able to clearly express the disasters he has experienced at such a young age.

Coupled with Liu Xie's performance on Beimang Mountain last night, Dong Zhuo now likes this young Chen Liuwang very much in his heart.

He thought to himself: It is said that this King Chen Liuwang was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and has the title of "Dong Hou". The Empress Dowager and I are both surnamed Dong, maybe we are still of the same clan, so this King Chen Liuwang and I are also very fateful.

Liu Wei, the son of heaven, is not as good as a human king, while Chen Liuwang is smart and has the appearance of a bright lord. For the sake of the Han Society, it is better to abolish the Son of Heaven and set up King Chen as the emperor.

Now Dong Zhuo has completely put himself at the same height as Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

He felt that he could save the Son of Heaven when the country was in danger, and God must have arranged for him to assist the young Son of Heaven and help the Han Family.

Liu Xie has already finished everything. At this time, Li Ru, who came in with Dong Zhuo, spoke.

"Don't drive Li Ru and start your majesty. Dong Zhuo, the former general and pastor of Bingzhou, rescued His Majesty and Chen Liuwang for meritorious service, and asked His Majesty to reward the meritorious ministers. ”

"Bold!" A minister stood up and rebuked sharply: "You don't dare to speak disrespectfully in this court!" ”

Another minister stood up: "It is the duty of a courtier to save the driver, whether to reward or not is all up to Your Majesty, how can a courtier ask for credit!" ”

"If you want to say that there is merit, it is also Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they killed the eunuchs, swept away the evil spirits, and returned the world to a prosperous world, this is a great achievement."

For a while, several ministers stood up to accuse Li Ru, but in fact, they were secretly scolding Dong Zhuo for being arrogant and threatening the Son of Heaven.

It's just that they were angry and died down under Dong Zhuo's threatening eyes.

Li Ru sneered at the minister who had just praised the Yuan brothers: "Is it important to sweep away the eunuchs, or is it important for Your Majesty's safety, don't you even know this as a courtier?"

If you want me to say that it was because these two people suddenly launched an attack on the eunuch under the condition of insufficient preparation, which led to the suffering of His Majesty, is this a great achievement, this is a great sin! Please ask Your Majesty to severely punish the Yuan brothers. ”

The minister was dumbfounded, this kind of thing is not easy to choose. If he dares to say that it is important to get rid of eunuchs, then he is a disloyal thief.

If it is said that the Son of Heaven is important, then secretly he will be rejected by other scholars. In their eyes, the Son of Heaven can be changed, but the eunuchs who compete with them for power and profit must die.

As the elder of the Four Dynasties, Yuan Kui finally spoke: "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not thoughtful, causing His Majesty to suffer, and the crime is unforgivable. But the two of them have merit in killing the eunuch, and please ask Your Majesty to allow the two to offset their merits.

Your Majesty blessed God, fortunately rescued by General Dong, and the minister thought that General Dong should be rewarded again, in order to show the heart of the loyal minister. ”

Yuan Kui said so, and the other ministers naturally echoed it. And Li Ru no longer mentioned the matter of the Yuan brothers.

However, because the Son of Heaven was young and ignorant of these things, the specific things were written down and handed over to the Empress Dowager He to decide.

In the end, Dong Zhuo was promoted to Sikong because of this rescue, ranking as the third public.
