October.

Luoyang, Yuan Mansion.

"Uncle clan, father, what now?" Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng and asked in a deep voice. Just today, in front of all the ministers, Dong Zhuo made Yuan Shu a general in order to reward him for his contribution to quelling the eunuch rebellion. It's just that...... Anyone can see that this is a rising and descending light.

Although the Tiger Camp has already been incorporated into the Sound Battalion, General Tiger Ben Zhonglang is still the commander who guards the Imperial City, and it can be said that if there is no direct commander to come forward, Tiger Ben Zhonglang will be able to mobilize most of the troops, including the Northern Army and the Southern Army.

And then what about the generals? It seems to be a very honor, tied with the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he has the right to open the palace to raise money, but what about the real power? But there was nothing. It can be said that there is not much difference from the generals of Zhengxi and Zhenxi for Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"In this way, you will leave Luoyang and go to Nanyang immediately!" Yuan Kui said after a moment of silence.

"Nanyang?" Yuan Shu asked strangely when he heard this.

"Yes, then since Dong Zhuo wants military power, then give it to him!" Yuan Kui said coldly. As for Dong Zhuo's purpose, how did Yuan Kui not know? It is nothing more than wanting to take all the troops in Luoyang into his own hands. But in this regard, how could Yuan Kui have no way at all?

"You go to Nanyang and find a way to bring over Zhang Shi, the county guard of Nanyang, at that time, you will be in Jizhou, you will be in Nanyang, and you will have ...... power in Yuzhou" Yuan Kui sneered.

"No." Yuan Shu responded respectfully when he heard this.

After Yuan Shu left, Yuan Feng on the side asked in a deep voice, "Ciyang, is there really a chance?" His voice was a little tired, and it was clear that he hadn't slept well in any time. But he can't be blamed, because during this time, he and Yuan Kui were constantly trying to find ways to bring down Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo didn't give them a chance at all.

On the contrary, Dong Zhuo's rising prestige during this period has made more and more scholars fall to Dong Zhuo's side. As Li Ru said, the family is just an alliance, if Dong Zhuo can give more benefits to those families, how many people will stand behind Yuan Kui? Even Yang Biao is no longer so in line with Yuan Kui in many cases. Well...... Well, it seems that the word unity should not have appeared in an alliance of interests in the first place.

This is one of Li Ru's strategies, through the promotion of a large number of celebrities, not only gained fame, but also told those scholars and doctors that if you turn upside down, you can get more. This is very attractive, after all, above the court, in addition to the emperor, there are only a few positions, and the vast majority of people or families cannot stand on it.

And Dong Zhuo is different from He Jin or Zhang Rang before, he is from a poor family. is not a relative, nor an official eunuch, it can be said that he is completely part of the family camp. Just like Lu Zhi and others said, wait-and-see is the attitude of most scholars.

"I don't know ......" Yuan Kui sighed a little helplessly when he heard this, "That Dong Zhuo is menacing, no one thought that it would be able to develop like this in a short period of time." Alas, I originally thought that it would be beneficial for us for him to abolish Liu Wei, but now it seems that it has put me and others at a disadvantage. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Feng was silent, and only after a long time did he mutter, "Or, a little temptation?" ”

"Temptation?" Yuan Kui was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, what you want to go will be solid. In my opinion, everything Dong Zhuo is doing now is just a disguise, in order to control the court as soon as possible. Yuan Feng sneered, "In that case, why don't we take the initiative to let it out, so as to tell Dong Zhuo that you have controlled the court and can do what you want." ”

"That's it......" Yuan Kui stroked his beard and groaned, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

In the next few days, Dong Zhuo was surprised to find that there was no opposition in the entire court at once, and no matter what orders he issued, they could be carried out unhindered.

This situation naturally made Dong Zhuo overjoyed, but he was not complacent after all, but hurriedly asked Li Ru and Jia Xu's opinions.

"Lord, I think it's because Yuan Kui and the others know that the lord is powerful, so they simply give up the conflict with the lord, and at that time, whether the lord wants it or not, he will become a tyrannical and arrogant person like Liang Ji in the past." Li Ru pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression.

"Uh......" Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, "Then isn't it pointless for me to pretend?" Dong Zhuo asked helplessly.

"It's okay, this situation has already been considered by the subordinates, and since they took the initiative to retreat, then we don't have to be polite." Li Ru said in a deep voice. "Lord, you will immediately go up tomorrow, transfer Jingzhao Yin Gaixun back to Shu Ying, and then replace the right Fufeng with our people, as long as the entire Si Li and Liangzhou are under control, even if there is any change, we have the strength to deal with it!"

"Good! Just do it! Dong Zhuo replied loudly when he heard this. Li Ru's words undoubtedly allowed him to let go of his hands and feet a little, which was something that Dong Zhuo dreamed of, even if it was just a little bit.

In the following days, Dong Zhuo unceremoniously took advantage of Yuan Kui's retreat to continuously issue new appointments, and placed his subordinates in various important positions in Luoyang and even the entire division, especially the army, all of which were replaced by Dong Zhuo's people.

This situation was also as Yuan Kui expected, which instantly caused many people to be uneasy. After all, with such a tough control of the army, what does Dong Zhuo want to do?! Some unwilling people tried to impeach Dong Zhuo, but when Yuan Kui was invisible and Yang Biao ignored him, the final result was only to be severely punished.

and state.

"Hehe, it seems that this Dong Zhuo is about to be revealed~" Li Yi looked at the letter in his hand and smiled.

"Dong Zhuo, is that the one who has been in the limelight in the court recently?" Cai Yan asked curiously when he heard this.

"Yes, the Zishi wrote that Dong Zhuo's recent prestige has become bigger and bigger, and he even wants to restore the Xiangguo system." Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this.

Xiangguo has appeared since the Warring States Period, but since the Han Dynasty, only a few Xiangguo were established when the country was founded, and it was not until Lu Pheasant's nephew Lu Chan that there was no Xiangguo. After all, the power of the prime minister is still above the prime minister, and obviously not every emperor can tolerate someone sitting in this position.

"In that case, won't the court be controlled by traitors again?" Cai Yan asked with some concern when he heard this.

"Control? Hehe, maybe~" Li Yi smiled when he heard this, "However, I'm afraid that this time, there will be many people in the world who are not used to it~" As he spoke, he hugged Cai Yan into his arms and smiled evilly, "Don't care about Dong Zhuo, we have to have a good relationship today." ”

"Gentleman ......" Cai Yan looked at Li Yi shyly, and the rosy rose to his cheeks again.
