Guanzhong Chang'an!

In Situ's mansion, Wang Yun and Shi Sunrui and others gathered together.

"Master Zi is still right, fortunately we didn't do it, otherwise we would have been calculated by Dong Thief this time." Shisun Rui said happily.

Wang Yun nodded regretfully and said, "It's a pity that those loyal and brave people died righteously, and there are innocent ministers who were killed." ”

"Yes, after being purged by Dong Thief like this, there are fewer loyal ministers in the court." Yang Zan nodded approvingly, and then whispered:

"I heard that there have been a lot of doctors in the past few days, but none of them can cure the arrow poison on Dong Zhuo's body, Dong Zhuo was furious and cut down all the doctors, and now his condition has deteriorated, I am afraid that time is running out."

"I have heard a little, I hope all this is true, then as soon as the Dong thief dies, the Xiliang army will inevitably collapse, and the opportunity for the revitalization of the imperial court will come." Shi Sun Rui said with joy on his face.

Wang Yundao: "No one knows how, it is difficult to say whether this will be a trap for thieves, Li Ru is vicious and cunning, I have to guard against it, everyone should not move lightly, it is better to wait and see." ”

"What Zishi said is reasonable, Li Ru is a poisonous snake, and the plan to murder the ministers this time must have come from him." Yang Zan agreed.

When he thinks of Li Ru, he has a bad cold.

Dong Zhuo's political explosion, the basic suggestions came from Li Ru.

How many colleagues have been killed by the pit over the years, and the burning of Luoyang is all this scourge.

Zhongfu!

Zhong Xuan, who is a court lieutenant, is also extremely concerned about Dong Zhuo's poisoning.

Without it, he got in touch with Cao Cao of Yanzhou in the eastern part of the Kanto region.

Yanzhou was one of the forces closest to Dong Zhuo, and it was also the only prince who had the ability to go west to conflict with Dong Zhuo.

So it was also the first one Zhong Xuan contacted.

And what Xu Ding said to him last year also made Cao Cao's mind gradually come alive, and he set his eyes back on the west.

Xu Ding was right, his Cao Cao's future was in the west, and the west was something he needed to expand for a long time.

Even if you don't have the strength to deal with Dong Zhuo now, you can't take down Si Li and Guanzhong, but maybe there will be a chance in the future.

Therefore, he had to make arrangements in advance, and sent many people to Guanzhong to get in touch with the major families and important ministers.

Zhong Cao's two families hit it off and soon hooked up.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Xuan decided to send the news to Cao Cao and pay a copy of his own opinions and opinions.

"Dong Zhuo is still suspicious of poisoning, the arrow is a fact, there is a fear of chaos in the pass today, Dong Zhuo wants to eliminate all dissidents, everyone is in danger, his army is in the cold, Meng De should make plans as soon as possible, if there is an opportunity, make a decision immediately, and save the Son of Heaven and help the Han power in the hands of Meng De......"

In order to avoid accidents, the letter was sent to Cao Cao by the dead man who went out of the south gate, crossed the Wuguan, detoured to Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

Not only Zhong Xuan, but also other ministers also have secret connections with the princes of the world, such as Zhang Lu, who seized Hanzhong, such as Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei of Bingzhou also caught up with some small ministers.

Not to mention Xu Ding's side, the Diluo Diwang also has its own channels to send it back.

Moreover, there is no shortage of important ministers of the country who are in good relations with him.

Of course, Dong Zhuo did not intercept these news, but instead let the checkpoints relax the inspection, and the news of his poisoning quickly spread to all parts of the Kanto.

After a few days, a rumor began to circulate in Chang'an City that Dong Zhuo died after ineffective treatment.

There is also a saying that Dong Zhuo's arrow poison was cleared in the department, but there are still some remnants that have invaded the blood and bones, and now he is severely fainting and unconscious.

And Dong Zhuo has not shown up, that is, Li Ru frequently enters and leaves the mansion, and then issues orders on behalf of him to run the imperial court.

At the same time, Li Ru granted Dong Jin the post of lieutenant on behalf of Dong Zhuo, added Lang, commanded Dong Zhuo's guards and horses, and guarded the Prime Minister's Mansion 24 hours a day.

Many people went to visit Dong Zhuo, but without exception, they were all blocked from the house.

Even Dong Zhuo's henchmen Guo Yan and Li You and Li Wei couldn't get in.

For a while, it aroused more suspicion.

"Really?"

In the depths of the palace, thirteen-year-old Liu Xie looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked unconvincedly.

The man in front of him is called Dong Cheng, who is a general under Li Dao, because he gave a lot of treasures to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo saw that he was also surnamed Dong, so he promoted him and promised his daughter to Liu Xie as a concubine.

Of course, this is only in name, because Liu Xie at this time is not yet old enough to squander a man's capital, so Dong Cheng is just one of his fathers-in-law on the surface.

The relationship between the two is not solid.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is true, now Chang'an City is going crazy, some say that the prime minister is dead, some say that the prime minister is in a coma, but it is certain that the power is now in the hands of Li Ru." Dong Chengdao:

"And Li Dao, Guo Yan and others can't see the prime minister."

"I see, what is Aiqing's plan?" Don't look at Liu Xie is only thirteen years old, but he is still quite smart, he has been held hostage by Dong Zhuo under house arrest all these years, and the city government is deeper.

Dong Zhuo's death is too suspicious.

No one knows Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness and Li Ru's viciousness better than him.

It is true that Dong Zhuo suffered an arrow wound, but he is not sure whether the arrow is poisonous or not.

So he was only slightly surprised when he heard Dong Zhuo's incident, and he didn't show too much joy, and he didn't open his mouth to scold Dong Zhuo.

Because there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and Dong Cheng may not be credible.

The Son of Heaven has always been a loner, although Liu Xie is young and has never been formally trained by the emperor's mental arts, but he has initially mastered the emperor's power skills with the scriptures.

Therefore, no one will trust him now, and the courtiers can only use it, not trust.

Don't expect them to be conscious and controlled by you.

Although Dong Cheng is now nominally his father-in-law, it seems that he is a family, but he must take precautions.

After all, he was originally a subordinate general of the generals below Dong Zhuo, and he was a relative, and the Han was corrupted by his relatives and eunuchs.

Liu Xie grew up in the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and he felt the deepest about his relatives.

Dong Chengdao: "The minister's words are slight, and he has no plans, he just wants to focus on His Majesty's safety, and Your Majesty can rest assured that no one can hurt you." ”

Dong Cheng's words are half-true and half-false, and they are also impeccable, and they don't sound like any other obvious intentions.

"Dong Aiqing is loyal, but in troubled times, many things are not something that Aiqing can control, I really hope that there will be more loyal and brave people like Aiqing, so that I can really sleep with confidence." Liu Xie suddenly looked up at the clouds outside, and said with feeling.

Dong Chengdao: "Your Majesty can rest assured that there will be many people in the world who are loyal to Your Majesty and the Han Dynasty." ”

Soon Dong Cheng came out of Liu Xie, came out of this palace gate, and soon he turned to the main hall of the court.

"How? Your Majesty is alright? There is no curse. ”

There was a person standing in the main hall, holding a fan in his hand and facing away from Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng replied respectfully: "My lord, Your Majesty is very concerned about the safety of the prime minister, and there is nothing disrespectful, but he is very worried about the current situation, and he is worried about the insecurity in the palace. ”

"There is no disrespect...... Hahaha, don't just keep saying it, you've been scolding in your heart. The man laughed three times, laughing coldly, and continued:

"Since Your Majesty is afraid of insecurity, then find him more loyal ministers to accompany him, and I will see how many people are willing to shed their blood for him."

"Yes, my lord, the last general understands." Dong Cheng replied when he heard this, and then retreated silently.

Dong Cheng retreated, and the man turned around, showing a hint of banter on his thin face.

"This Majesty of ours is about to grow up, but he is still too tender, although he is very well disguised, he is still unwilling to be mediocre, and it seems that he really wants to choose a reliable Zong."
