The next day, Li Ru obtained the edict of the Son of Heaven from Liu Xie and went to Ye Zhao's camp.

For Ye Zhao, Liu Xie does not have any good feelings, when Liu Hong was alive, Ye Zhao was close to Liu Wei, and later Liu Hong died, He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants, Liu Xie clearly remembered the slap that Zhang Rang gave him, Ye Zhao's expression at the beginning, so far I remember it in my heart, so Li Ru came to ask for advice, and Liu Xie did not hesitate to put on his own seal.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now that he has succeeded to the throne, Ye Zhao, a general with heavy troops, is not his confidant, and he should be unlucky.

"Wen You, if I don't obey the edict!" Ye Zhao looked at the edict in his hand, sneered, looked up at Li Ru, and said with a smile: "It's just that I am General Wei, the marquis, even if the Son of Heaven wants to dismiss me, I need to have an official document to stamp the jade seal of the country, if I am not mistaken, the seal on this edict is only the personal seal of the Son of Heaven, not the jade seal of the country, so ......"

Handing the edict back to Li Ru, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's better to ask the Son of Heaven or Dong Xiang to come and talk to me about this matter before the official edict is taken." ”

Li Ru didn't think that Ye Zhao would be edicted at the beginning, and now the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country are unknown, I heard that he disappeared when He Jin was killed, where it fell, no one knows, without the jade seal of the country, a figure like Ye Zhao who is a feudal official level wants to be dismissed with an edict, it is impossible.

"This matter, the Confucian Association will explain this matter to His Majesty." Li Ru put away the edict and looked at Ye Zhao and said: "It's just that Confucianism is very curious, since Ye Hou has already retreated, why don't you leave directly, with Ye Hou's authority, if you want to leave, Dong Xiang will never be embarrassed." ”

"It has been stated in my prayer post that I will take King Hongnong away." Ye Zhao leaned on the Hu bed, looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Wen You should have seen it." ”

"I heard that Ye Hou and King Hongnong have always been friendly, and now they are so eager to take away King Hongnong, it can't help but make people suspect that Ye Hou has other intentions." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

"Wen You, let's talk about it, what are Benhou's intentions?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"Can you guess that the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Ye Hou, if you can take away King Hongnong, Ye Hou can pass on the jade seal of the country as the reason to re-establish King Hongnong as the emperor and compete with Dong Xiang?" After Li Ru finished speaking, his eyes stared at Ye Zhao deadly, noticing the change in Ye Zhao's expression.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, then saw Li Ru's expression, and immediately knew what he thought, shook his head and smiled: "Wen You, Wen You, do you think that if I want to support King Hongnong, Dong Zhuo will have the opportunity to put that Liu Xie'er on the throne of God?" ”

Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao: "This is also what I have been unable to understand in the future, what is Ye Hou asking for?" ”

"I dare to say it, but I don't know if Wenyou dares to listen." Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Wen You should know that this truth is often very cruel. ”

"Listen up." Li Ru smiled.

"I have three chances, I can be in charge of Luoyang like Dong Zhuo now, the first time, the first emperor died, if I want, then He Jin can't compete with me, the second time, when He Jin died, with my prestige in Luoyang at that time, to control the military power, it is not difficult, Dong Zhuo brought soldiers and horses from Xiliang, but thousands of people, Yuan is not as you claim, your strategy, can hide from ordinary people, but in this Luoyang City, there are no less than ten people who can see through; The third time, that is to say, this time, if Dong Zhuo does the abolition of the establishment, if I want, I can raise my arms and shout, I am sure that this Luoyang scholar, no matter how he looked at me in the past, but this time, he will definitely stand on my side, fight against Dong Zhuo, Mo said that the soldiers are strong and strong, Ye has lived in Luoyang for six years, it is not easy to destroy Dong Zhuo, but it is not difficult to expel Er! Ye Zhao stretched out three fingers, looked at Li Ru and smiled.

"This is also where the next curiosity lies, Ye Hou may not be able to win, but if it weren't for Ye Hou not fighting several times, it would not be easy for Dong Xiang to achieve today's momentum." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"Because I don't have Dong Zhuo's family background, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, at least there is a way out for the cool land in the middle and west, but if I lose, it will be a catastrophe." Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Now that the princes have been divided, there is only one reason, it is the division of the princes, and then it is the situation of the heroes, who can win, is the new lord of the world, but I am sure that Dong Zhuo's momentum leads to the introduction of the division of the princes, but it is by no means the final winner." ”

"Ye Hou's words, but I don't dare to agree, my lord now holds the Son of Heaven in his hands, occupies the righteousness, Guanzhong 800 miles of fertile land, and now it has been occupied by General Guo Yan, and there is more Xiliang land, which can provide our army with elite soldiers, such an advantage, why does Ye Hou say that my lord will be defeated?" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and frowned.

"There are three reasons for this." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "First, it may not have an advantage, it is the final winner, even the truth of the weak against the strong, I don't need to say it, Wen You can also understand, it is precisely because Dong Zhuo is powerful, and therefore he will become the target of the public, the world's heroes will be punished, Ye Mou asked himself that his wisdom and strategy and commander are not bad, but he does not dare to be the enemy of the world, I have to say that Dong Xiang's courage, Ye Mou still admires it very much." ”

At this moment, there are only Ye Zhao and Li Ru, both of whom are not loyal and righteous people, out of this handsome account, even if Li Ru makes Ye Zhao's words public, Ye Zhao will not admit it, and Li Ru will not do such a stupid thing, so Ye Zhao is not afraid to speak freely.

"Dong Xiang has done what many of us want to do but dare not do, and naturally he has to bear the burden that no one can bear."

Seeing that Li Ru was not convinced, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Of course, this is just an external cause, Dong Zhuo is concerned about the central and western cool places as the rear, just guard the door, and then instigate the princes to fight in the name of the Son of Heaven, it may not be impossible to crack, but this is just an inducement, not the main thing, in terms of potential, Dong Zhuo does have the potential to sweep the world." ”

"Dare to ask what are the other two reasons?" Li Ru did not deny Ye Zhao's words, but looked at Ye Zhao.

"Second, the Xiliang Army is tyrannical, only knows destruction, but does not know governance, and under Dong Zhuo's command, there don't seem to be many talents like Wen You, let alone the talent of the governance side, only Wen You alone, must be quite tired now, right?" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This governance of the Central Plains is different from the governance of Xiliang, Xiliang is sparsely populated, Qiang and Han live together, it is not difficult to govern, but in this Guanzhong and Luoyang, there are not enough talents to govern smoothly, and Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the establishment, although he has gained power, but it has also angered the people of the world, and this governance place, in the next ten or even twenty years, will not be able to do without scholars!" ”

Even if books have been popularized now, it is impossible to ferment and have a large number of poor talents without ten or twenty years, and during this time, it is difficult for any force to become big and strong without the support of scholars!

"Even if Dong Zhuo is now powerful, Wen You should know what the result will be without the support of the family, in less than five years, this place of division and three auxiliaries will probably be destroyed by the Xiliang army."

"Third, it is also from within, and the state army and the Xiliang army are different, even if Lu Bu recognizes Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law now, it is difficult to improve, this is not an external cause, but Dong Zhuo's own reasons, from the current point of view, it is not obvious, but there are already some signs, and the most important thing is that I don't know if Wen You has found that Dong Zhuo has begun to swell now, and he can no longer listen to people's words, and in terms of employing people, it is also nepotism?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and smiled.

When Li Ru heard this, his face changed, and he looked at Ye Zhao, his eyes flashing with suspicion.

"Don't look at me, this kind of thing, you don't need to be careful to investigate it can be seen, Lu Bu is the chief general of the state army, but until now he has no military power, it seems that Dong Zhuo is also on guard against Lu Bu, this person is indeed brave and brave, but he has a sword without a sheath, if he does not have a clever sword technique, it is easy to hurt himself, not to mention that although the hundred officials in the court are afraid of Dong Zhuo's obscenity, but they are not really convinced, the enemy on the surface is not difficult to deal with, I am afraid that this enemy is hidden in the shadows, I know that Wen You's chest has a complementary talent, but this Luoyang hundred officials are not unscrupulous."

Looking at Li Ru's face, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I don't know how Wen You compares to me, but even I, in the past few years in Luoyang, I have almost been calculated by that Yuan Kui several times. ”

"Ye Hou's talent is a hundred times better than me." Li Ru said politely.

"Needless to say, although Dong Zhuo has the merit of supporting him now, but that King Chen Liuwang is not an ordinary child, it is not easy to make him settle down, as long as he has this mind, Dong Zhuo will face not only the Kwantung princes, but also the endless open guns and hidden arrows in Luoyang City, not to mention that Dong Zhuo is becoming more and more rigid, under all kinds of external and internal troubles, Ben Hou really can't think of Dong Zhuo's chances of winning?"

"As for what I ask for...... Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Madame is the brother of King Hongnong, since King Hongnong has now lost his throne, I want to wait for him to go back and reunite with Madame and his sisters." ”

Looking at Li Ru's look of disbelief, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "In addition, when Dong Zhuo was defeated, he had King Hongnong in his hands, and I also had great righteousness to use, so I didn't have to be controlled by others." ”

"Dong Xiang will not be defeated!" Li Ru took a deep breath and said indifferently.

"If it was Dong Zhuo before entering Luoyang, I would have believed a few points, but now Dong Zhuo, although it is prosperous, it will not last long, and after the glory, I am afraid it will end dismally!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Ye Hou's intentions, I will tell the lord, but whether I can let King Hongnong can be made is not up to me." Li Ru stood up and said, "It's not early, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

"I know that Wenyou will not admit defeat, but I have to leave a way out for myself in everything." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile and said, "If one day, Benhou's words come true today, Wen You can come to me and give you two more pieces of advice, which can be regarded as a gift." ”

Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Confucianism listens. ”

"Beware of Yuan Kui and Lu Bu, Yuan Kui is scheming, and he is the hope of this Luoyang scholar, as for Lu Bu...... I don't have to worry too much about it now, but if I were Yuan Kui and them, I would definitely start from here, after all, it would be easier. Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Ye Hou's plan to divide is too vulgar." Li Ru said indifferently.

"It works, and I won't send it far."

"Farewell!"
