Zhang Xiao thought to himself: It's all here, how can there be any reason to let you go. "Since my uncle has no intention of the imperial court, it is better to stay in Liaodong to help me."

"What can I do for you, a useless Confucian student, I see that you still want to persuade me to re-enter the office, and I will not agree." Lu Zhi directly refused.

"Uncle will listen to me first, and then it's not too late to refuse. I asked my uncle to stay not to serve, but to hope that my uncle could open a mountain in Liaodong to teach his apprentices. ”

Lu Zhi's body shook slightly, he didn't expect Zhang Hao to say this. "I'm old and frail, and my energy is not as good as before, how can I teach students? Besides, aren't you afraid that I will mislead people's children? ”

"Uncle laughed again, you are in the prime of life, how can you say that you are old?" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Besides, you are a famous man in the world, a great Confucian at home, and the hope of a scholar, even the most stupid person can become a pillar of the country under your teaching." ”

Even if a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune is praised by others, his face does not show joy and anger, but he will not hate it in his heart. Lu Zhi said lightly: "How can I be as powerful as you say." ”

Zhang Hao struck while the iron was hot: "Uncle also knows that my Pingzhou is located in the northeast, which is a bitter cold place, and this knowledge is not prosperous enough, and there are not a few well-known people in the world." If my uncle preaches here, he will definitely be able to make a large number of pillars of talent emerge in Pingzhou to serve the country.

Moreover, there are many Yidi in Pingzhou, if it can be transformed from raze to summer through education, so as to eliminate the disaster of war at the border pass, it is also a good thing for the present and the future. ”

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Lu Zhi was a little moved in his heart. He originally wanted to go into hiding, but it was just to escape the danger of the Han family, but he did nothing. But as Zhang Hao said, if he can cultivate many talents who serve the Han family, this is also another way to serve the imperial court.

"I'd like to stay here for a few days and think about it." Lu Zhi did not immediately agree. But Zhang Hao understood that he had agreed, so he immediately asked someone to arrange it for Lu Zhi.

In fact, Lu Zhi stayed in Liaodong to teach another advantage, that is, a large number of scholars would come to Liaodong because of his reputation.

This can not only improve Zhang Hao's image among scholars, but also change the tone of Pingzhou. It may also attract some of the most famous talents in history.

Before Zhang Hao set out on the expedition, a never-before-seen academy began to be built ten miles east of Xiangping City.

Some well-known scholars heard that Zhang Hao had built a college for the great Confucian Lu Zhi to lecture in Liaodong, so they took the initiative to find Zhang Hao and ask for donations.

The scholars are not only to brush their faces in this matter, but also to allow their children to listen to classes under Lu Zhimen in the future. For the sake of their offspring, Huaxia's parents have been working hard since ancient times.

In this way, the first benefit left by Lu Zhi appeared, which Zhang Hao did not expect.

……

The wave of condemnation of Dong Zhuo in the world is intensifying, and all prefectures and counties are also ready to move, and even people like Qiao Mao, Cao Cao and others openly recruit troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. As a party concerned, Dong Zhuo naturally would not pretend not to know.

"These bastards, I used to recruit them in vain, and it was just a matter of not agreeing to work for me, and now they dare to resist me, damn it!"

Li Ru on the side saw that Dong Zhuo was so annoyed, so he said: "Taiwei, those people oppose you just because you abolished the Son of Heaven, renamed King Hongnong, and set up King Chen Liu as the emperor. Their slogan is also to restore the throne of King Hongnong, why don't we promise them? ”

"Bastard!" Dong Zhuo was even more angry when he heard this suggestion, "Isn't this big event of abolishing the Son of Heaven a child's play!" Besides, if I do what they want because of their coercion, it will be tantamount to admitting that I have done wrong, how can I still be in power to favor the government and the opposition and rule over the hundred officials! ”

"In that case, the captain will cut off their thoughts!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Ruyin said compassionately: "Aren't they dissatisfied with today's son and want to restore the throne of King Hongnong, then if King Hongnong is gone, what excuse do they have to oppose you?" ”

No matter how bold Dong Zhuo was, he didn't think of this idea, not because he couldn't think of it, but because he didn't dare to think about it. Unfilial piety in this world is not the biggest crime, killing the monarch is. It was a real infamy for the ages, and it would be remembered for thousands of years.

"How could I do such a thing, and besides, isn't this killing of kings a better excuse?"

"Taiwei, when Zhou Bo and Chen Ping killed the young emperor Liu Hong and his brothers, and Yingli Emperor Wen, who in this world said that they were traitors who killed the king. It's the same now, as long as King Hongnong is killed, the people of the world will naturally stop and obey the new Son of Heaven. ”

Dong Zhuo fell into deep thought, and Li Ru's words made him hesitate. Seeing this, Li Ru continued: "If the Taiwei is still worried about bearing the infamy of killing the king, this matter can be handed over to his subordinates, and it is time to announce to the public that King Hongnong died of illness." ”

Hearing Li Ru say this, Dong Zhuo let go of some of the burden in his heart, and finally made up his mind: "You remember to do things cleanly." ”

"No."

Now that the matter has been decided, do it immediately. That night, Li Ru came to Liu Bian's dormitory. A large group of soldiers broke in and drove all the palace maids out, leaving only Liu Wei alone.

A child is surrounded by a large group of soldiers who are eyeing each other, and this scene is unbearable for a child. Liu Wei immediately cried loudly, and his body kept leaning into the corner.

"King Hongnong, don't be afraid." Li Ru said with a smile. It's just that his expression is even more eerie against the background of the candle flame.

"You, you, don't come here! Mother, I'm going to find Mother! Liu Wei cried. He didn't know that his mother had been killed by Dong Zhuo on the charge of killing the Empress Dowager Dong on the day he was deposed.

"King Hongnong, you are sick, but don't be afraid, as long as you drink this, you will be fine immediately, and you will be able to see your queen mother."

"I don't want it, I don't want it!"

"Come on, hold King Hongnong down, it's time to take medicine."

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to restrain Liu Wei, and the child naturally had no power to resist in front of adults.

Li Ru stepped forward, pinched Liu Wei's frightened pale little face with one hand, and pinched his mouth open. Then he took a glass of wine filled with poison and poured it into Liu Wei's mouth.

"Drink it quickly, drink it and your Highness's illness will be cured."

A large cup of poison was poured into the small mouth, although half of it flowed out, but the rest was drunk by Liu Wei.

As soon as the soldiers let go of Liu, he struggled in pain with his stomach in his arms, and let out a cry louder than a cry.

After a while, he finally stopped feeling the pain, and vaguely he saw the Empress Dowager He coming over and holding him in his arms. The villain didn't lie to him entirely, and although he was in pain after drinking the medicine, he really saw his mother.

Li Ru looked at Liu Wei, who was bleeding and dying of anger on the ground, and withdrew with all the soldiers.

After all, this kind of thing was done in the palace, so many people have seen it, and it must be impossible to hide it, but Dong Zhuo didn't plan to hide it, the wood was already in the boat, and he completely let go of the burden.

It is normal for the new monarch to succeed to the throne and kill the old monarch and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The usurper monarch since ancient times, that's not what he did.

Now Liu Xie is still young, and he is just doing what he will definitely do in the future for him, which is carrying infamy for him, and he is really a great loyal minister.

At the court meeting the next day, before the minister who got the news stood up to question, Dong Zhuo himself directly reported the matter to Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, King Hongnong died in the palace last night because of his mother's illness."

The ministers were in an uproar, they didn't expect Dong Zhuo to dare to say this matter himself, which also made them even more angry. Although you Dong Zhuoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, this is too ignorant of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

"Dong Zhuo, you dare to kill the king!" A minister stepped forward and shouted angrily.

"Are you in a hurry to rebel? You traitor! Then several ministers stood up and blamed Dong Zhuo.

"King Hongnong is sick and dead, what does it have to do with me? Besides, my king is Your Majesty, so why do you want to kill the king. Dong Zhuo retorted flatly. But the way he looked at the ministers became very dangerous, and there was a feeling that he would kill you if he dared to say a word.

"The old gentleman is also a gentleman, how can you do this, and last night it was clear that you instructed Li Ru's traitor to enter the palace and kill King Hongnong, and now you still want to quibble!"

The other ministers were forced to retreat by Dong Zhuo's killing intent, but the first minister to speak could not retreat.

If he also retreats, whether he can survive or not, he will become a coward and afraid of things, and he will be pointed out by thousands of people like Dong Zhuo. I simply picked out the words here and made them clear.

Dong Zhuo suddenly smiled and said, "You are very clear about the things in the palace when you arrive." Looks like you have a lot of eyeliner in the palace. ”

Dense fine sweat appeared on the forehead of the originally righteous and awe-inspiring minister, if he was determined by Dong Zhuo, then he would also be a thief.

Bribing palace maids and eunuchs in the palace is also one of the unspoken rules of the Han Dynasty, which also makes many secrets in the palace spread outside. The minister also needs first-hand information in the palace, otherwise how to find out the emperor's preferences, and the decision and bet on major events may become the emperor's prince.

But this kind of thing can't be said in the open, otherwise as a courtier, he doesn't do the right thing, and stares at the affairs of the palace all day long, what else will the thief who wants to rebel be.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" The minister said stiffly. I can't admit to snooping on the palace.

"Li Ru is the commander of King Hongnong, and he heard that King Hongnong died suddenly, so he led his troops to check. Now I thought he was derelict in his duties and had him suspended for reflection. ”

Even if it wasn't King Hongnong killed by Li Ru, as Lang Zhongling, his monarch had an accident but didn't know it, it was a capital crime. Dong Zhuo turned out to be suspended lightly, which is simply a naked cover-up.

After saying Li Ru's disposition, Dong Zhuo changed his words and said viciously to the minister: "And you are secretly peeping at the palace and roaring at the court, the sin is unforgivable!" ”

As he spoke, he directly drew his sword, stabbed the minister in the stomach, and stirred it vigorously.

The court was spilled with blood, and the ministers had only seen it in the history books, which they had never seen with their own eyes in their official careers. This scene directly frightened them, and some timid ministers screamed in fright, and the less timid fainted directly.

Dong Zhuo wiped the blood on his face and said, "Come on, drag this thief out, cut off his head and hang it outside the palace gate." ”

After the minister was dragged out, the new eunuch trotted up and wiped the blood from the ground tremblingly.

"What I hate most is such a thief, don't follow his example."

No one dared to speak now. Dong Zhuo then continued: "Your Majesty, King Hongnong died of illness, it is better to be buried as soon as possible." The minister saw that the tomb of the rebel eunuch Zhao Zhong was very suitable, so he was buried there. ”

No matter how strong Xiao Liu Xie is, he is crying like a tearful man at the moment. However, he heard Dong Zhuo's words and understood that he had to answer now.

"Quasi-play."
