Chapter 016: Doing Tricks

The monument of loyalty and righteousness is not terrible, and it is embarrassing to lack anyone!

The ministers originally thought that this monument of loyalty and righteousness was just to write the names of the people who joined Yulin, but they never expected Dong Zhuo to do the opposite, first put the names of the hundred officials up, and then fill in the nephews of the hundred officials.

It's just an incomparably simple change, but it has completely turned a good monument of loyalty into a pillar of shame.

was stunned and nailed all the civil and military officials to it.

What's even more hateful is that Dong Zhuo, for the sake of show, was so ruthless that he threw his eldest son and his dearest nephew into the Yulin, completely blocking the retreat of the civil and military officials who casually sent individuals to deal with it.

The civil and military officials had to send an important heir in the clan.

After all, the eldest son and the concubine are two completely different creatures these days.

There is no doubt that this is to force civil and military officials to death.

Vicious! Ruthless enough! Dong Zhuo is ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to the enemy!

The ladies in the court are itching with hatred, especially Taifu Yuan Kui, Yuan's whole door was almost wiped out, and such a shameless act almost made this Taifu so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage.

On the second day of the court meeting, Taifu Yuan Kui was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Dong Xiangguo held a big contest for the selection of Yulin, and deliberately set up a monument of loyalty and righteousness at the east gate, there were many onlookers, and Weichen thought that it would hinder the passage of the east gate, and this monument should be removed!"

In order to remove the pillar of shame, Taifu Yuan Kui took great pains to come up with such a high-sounding reason, which is really admirable.

The servant Wang Yun was also deeply affected, because although he was a servant, he was also a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and it was impossible for him to say nothing about it, so he was the first to stand up and support it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Wang Yun agrees with Lord Taifu's opinion, this monument is obstructing traffic, and it should be abolished!"

"Weichen seconded!"

"Weichen seconded!"

Immediately after Wang Yun, the courtiers stood up one by one, and they all agreed to remove the Loyalty Monument, and their actions were surprisingly unanimous.

The little emperor was stunned, since he ascended to Dabao, it was the first time Liu Xie had seen the courtiers working together so together, which really surprised him.

But then there are more doubts.

Why did the ministers so resolutely remove the Monument of Loyalty?

Liu Xie was puzzled!

Of course, the little emperor didn't know that the few loyal and righteous tablets at the east gate had already become a pillar of shame, whether it was Yuan Kui or Wang Yun, or this civil and military official, I am afraid that no one would be willing to send his son and nephew into Yulin.

After all, where is the feather forest, it is clearly the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Once you send your own children and nephews to the feather forest, it is equivalent to giving people swords, and the ministers will inevitably throw rats.

If this were not the case, there would be no need for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao to flee Luoyang.

Of course, the ministers didn't want to throw a rat trap, Dong Zhuo naturally understood, and Lord Xiangguo didn't expect these big families to send their sons and nephews into the Yulin.

Because Li Su has long said that these court officials will definitely not obey.

Not to mention that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will send their eldest son to Luoyang, that is simply unrealistic.

The purpose of this move is not to let the minister send his son and nephew to Yulin, but to reverse the trend of public opinion in the name of loyalty, completely change Dong Zhuo's image, and establish a heroic posture of a great man and a good minister among the people.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo's subordinates did not kill people and set fires like in the later period, which just made the residents of Luoyang City a little resentful, in fact, as civilians, born in this era, they are not subject to the resentment of being soldiers, and they will also be oppressed by the nobles on weekdays.

It is precisely because of this that Li Su has a chance to turn things around.

Dong Zhuo didn't know the above, but this Xiangguo Lord knew one thing, the Monument of Loyalty and Righteousness could never be removed, not only could it not be removed, but it also had to spread this big killing weapon that could ruin people's reputation all over the world, so he stood up without hesitation.

"Hey, my colleagues, this is wrong, the Zhongyi Monument at the East Gate does hinder the passage, but this matter is easy, just order the craftsman to go to the East Gate, carve the name on the tablet on the spot, and then order someone to rub the Zhongyi Tablet out and hang it on the wall of Luoyang City for the people to watch, and naturally there will be no obstruction to the passage!"

Mmp!

Listening to Dong Zhuo's method, Yuan Kui almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

The civil and military officials even had their noses crooked, not to mention how ugly their faces were.

Seeing the faces of these people, Dong Zhuo didn't want to mention more hatred in his heart, but he tried to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you still feel that it is hindering traffic, why don't you print a few more copies and hang the walls on all sides?" ”

Depend on! It's too much for the first one, so why do you want to have more?

Taifu Yuan Kui's face turned green: "Don't, don't, Lord Xiangguo, enough, enough, really enough!" ”

"That's right, that's right, you really don't have to spend so much!" Wang Yun hurriedly came out to help, and his back was full of cold sweat.

If you don't say the word "waste", it's okay, as soon as he said these two words, Dong Zhuo's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hey, the servant is wrong, a few pieces of cloth plus a little ink, what's the cost, this is the case, in order to show the loyalty of the adults, the old man will not hesitate to take out his life savings, no one should stop the true appearance." Dong Zhuo immediately announced righteously.

Yes???

Above the court, there was instant mourning all over the place.

Taifu Yuan Kui's face was like ashes.

The unlucky Wang Yun was so angry that he couldn't wait to slap himself.

Above the huge court, the civil and military officials are simply full of ugliness.

Of course, the only ugly person who is full of ugliness is to get rid of Xun Shuang, this great Confucian of the time has always been at ease, watching the ugliness of the courtiers with cold eyes, and there is an indescribable chill in his eyes.

If the only one in this hall doesn't understand the reason, I'm afraid the only one left is the one on the dragon chair.

The little emperor Liu Xie was stunned from beginning to end, and when he saw Dong Zhuo fighting against his ministers, he was almost flying.

The feeling of conquering the ministers is summed up in one word - cool!

Dong Zhuo, who is crisscrossing the court, has an indescribable joy, but he attaches more and more importance to a person in his heart, and this person is of course Li Su, who has been in the limelight recently.

……

As the initiator, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this new celebrity under Dong Zhuo not only did not go to the court, but even did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but actually sat at home.

There was a small charcoal stove on the small square table beside him, and the sizzling heat kept coming out of the stove.

Li Su turned a deaf ear, staring intently at the bamboo slips on the table, and the knife and pen in his hand were drawn twice from time to time.

After a while, Wang Xin, the full-time housekeeper in the house, walked in suspiciously.

"Childe, aren't you going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?"

"Of course not, anyway, Li Wenyou doesn't want to see this son, and if he goes, he will be idle, so it's better not to go!" Li Su replied with a smile.

As Dong Zhuo's chief strategist, Li Ru is a high-ranking and powerful person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is naturally easy for Li Su to be unable to touch anything.

However, with the current situation, Li Ru is understandable to do this.

Li Su understands this very well, so he doesn't bother to care so much, anyway, the Loyalty Monument has been erected, and now Dong Zhuo is inseparable from him Li Su, keeping a little distance appropriately will help deepen this dependence.

Why not!

And the so-called power is actually this power dependence.

It is only because the monarchs in the court do not have the slightest dependence on Dong Zhuo's power that they will be constrained everywhere, and the Loyalty Monument is the beginning of re-establishing power dependence.

But even if it's just the beginning, Taifu Yuan Kui and the court monarchs should have a headache!

Hey, hey, hey! I guess I can't sit still!
