In February of the third year of the first level.

Chang'an, inside the Imperial Palace.

"It's a really annoying rain, it goes on and on." Looking at the heavy rain outside the house, Dong Zhuo muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, this rain is indeed a little weird, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will affect spring ploughing." Li Ru nodded in response when he heard this.

"Hmm...... Then let the sub-master prepare for it, and when the spring equinox comes, if the rain does not stop, they will take the stage to worship the sky. Dong Zhuo groaned when he heard this.

Li Ru responded when he heard this, and then said again, "Lord, a few days ago, the imperial doctor ordered a report to report that the saint was in poor health, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Oh? Sick? Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to remember something, and suddenly scolded angrily, "Those wastes, they know to make trouble for me!" ”

Dong Zhuo's words made Li Ru stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "Does the lord know about this?" ”

"Well, a few days ago, the little emperor said that he was going to enjoy the rain, but he accidentally got wet all over......" Dong Zhuo said and couldn't help scolding again.

Although it sounds like it's just a story of a bear child who is idle and has nothing to do and ends up pitting himself, the problem is that Liu Xie is the emperor! Although this emperor is just a puppet, if something goes wrong, his Dong Zhuo's trouble is not as simple as losing a puppet!

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru nodded, "Since that's the case, let the imperial doctor treat it, I think it's just a cold caused by a cold." ”

Originally, Li Ru wondered how Liu Xie suddenly fell ill, after all, the little emperor was too important to them, and Dong Zhuo was addicted to the gentle countryside of the harem concubines every day, so Li Ru couldn't afford not to worry. However, after learning the reason, he didn't plan to continue to pay attention to it, after all, it sounded like it was just an accident caused by the little emperor's loneliness.

Although Liu Xie has always been very mature, after all, he is just an eleven-year-old doll. However, Li Ru still proposed to strengthen the supervision of Liu Xie, and Dong Zhuo naturally did not disagree with this. What he needs is a Liu Xie who lives well, as for whether Liu Xie likes it or hates him? He didn't bother to pay attention.

After leaving, Li Ru informed the hundred officials of Liu Xie's matter on behalf of Dong Zhuo, and if the emperor was ill, if he did not deal with it in time, it would cause a lot of trouble. In particular, there is such an old brother as Dong Zhuo.

General Wei's Mansion.

"Hehe, this little emperor is quite decisive, much better than Wang Yun's indecisive waste." After Ma Teng heard the news, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. And when Wang Yun's name was mentioned, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Ma Teng quickly wrote a letter and handed it to his cronies and asked him to send it to Liangzhou immediately, "Remember, you must hand it over to your wife." ”

"No!"

Seeing the figure of his cronies disappear into his eyes, Ma Teng suddenly shook his head and sighed, "After all, we have come to this point, although everything is going according to Madame's guess......"

Well, although Ma Teng has implemented Zhang Ning's plan step by step to this day, and even at this moment, he has no room to turn back, but in his heart, he is still full of worries and hesitations about the upcoming last step of the plan. After all, the danger of eradicating Dong Zhuo is too great, once it fails......

"Alas, it would be nice if Madame was by my side......" Ma Teng thought of the previous days, at that time, he didn't have to think about anything, he just needed to follow Zhang Ning's advice step by step, and he easily walked to the peak of life. But now, although he is also implementing Zhang Ning's plan, Zhang Ning is not by his side, which makes him really have no confidence in his heart.

Well, it seems that Zhang Ning has now become his spiritual pillar in addition to being Ma Teng's military advisor. However, this is also normal, when a person is too dependent on others, once the other person is missing, he will become at a loss.

And just when the undercurrent was surging on the side of Chang'an......

In Yanzhou, the price skyrocketing caused by Dong Zhuo's new money and the war, coupled with the rain for more than a month and the instigation of the Yellow Turban Thieves, caused more and more people to begin to join the ranks of the Yellow Turban Thieves, which made Liu Dai and others a headache. In particular, when Cao Cao began to help Zhang Miao and Bao Xin attack the Yellow Turban thieves in Chenliu and Jibei with the prestige of consecutive victories, a large number of Yellow Turban thieves began to pour into other areas of Yanzhou.

In addition, seeing the chaos in Yanzhou, the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who were originally defeated by Liu Bei, but did not flee into Yanzhou with the large army, the remnants of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans who were defeated by Tao Qian, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans hiding in Yuzhou killed Yanzhou one after another, making the situation in Yanzhou even worse, and in a short period of time, the number of Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army quickly approached one million.

However, I am afraid that the most headache for Liu Dai and others is that because of the chaos in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Liu Bei in Qingzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou have sent troops to Chen on the border, right? Although they didn't do anything else, they just sent someone to ask if they needed help, but ...... Their purpose is clearly self-evident.

In Jizhou and Youzhou, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan continued to strengthen their armaments, and at the same time, on the border, the two sides frequently had small conflicts. When I think about the beginning of spring, it is time for the two to fight again. In addition, as a third-party force in Jizhou, Zhang Yan is also actively preparing for war.

In addition, in the south, Liu Biao and Liu Miao chose to retreat after seeing that there was no chance to defeat Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu did not take the opportunity to attack, although he really wanted to, but under the persuasion of Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, he still reluctantly chose to recuperate. After all, in the past year, Yuan Shu has not let Yuzhou and Nanyang stop much.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's March.

The rain did not stop, as if the heavens were crying. In this regard, Dong Zhuo immediately issued an edict in the name of the emperor, asking King Situ to open the altar and worship, praying to the heavens to stop this seemingly endless rain. It sounds like nonsense, but this is the court's response to natural disasters all along, first let one of the three dukes preside over the sacrifice, if not, one of the three dukes will come out to take the blame.

This is the situation that makes the three dukes of the Han Dynasty always have to be changed every few years. Well...... Who has caused so many natural and man-made disasters?

Only this time, Dong Zhuo or Wang Yun's luck seems to be very good, only two days have passed, and the rain is ...... Stopped. In this regard, Dong Zhuo was very happy, not only rewarded Wang Yun, but also held a grand banquet to invite hundreds of officials.

However, Dong Zhuo's good fortune seems to have just begun, on the 6th, Zhao Qian, the former general who was ordered to win over Jia Long and Ren Qi in Yizhou, successfully rebelled against them, and Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Zhao Qian to go to Juxian County to raise troops, and prepare to attack Yizhou with Jia Long and Ren Qi.
