Chapter 61: Li Ru enters Beijing
"General Dong's poem has a deep meaning!" Gai Xun thought for a moment, and finally sighed.
Dong Zhuo turned to look into the distance, with a touch of sadness on his face, and said: "In the past year, a certain family has figured it out, in the past, a certain family was rampant and expropriated, and it went too far, the people were resentful, and the scholars were not angry, and these families never cared.
But last year, a certain family went to the Yellow Turban Uprising, and saw the scene of starvation everywhere and thousands of miles of desolation, that kind of scene, even a certain family that has been on the battlefield for a long time and is accustomed to seeing the battlefield of corpses and mountains and blood is also shuddering, and a certain family is shocked.
At first, a certain family thought that it was caused by the Yellow Turban Army, but later, when a certain family slowly discovered that the root cause of everything was caused by corrupt officials like a certain family who were rampant and expropriated, and looted the people's fat and ointment, a feeling that made a certain family tremble spontaneously, and that feeling made a certain family restless and unable to sleep and eat.
A certain family began to ask itself, when did a certain family become like that? And where is the arrogant and righteous Dong Zhuo before?
Later, a certain family began to study in prison, and gradually, a certain family came to an understanding!
A certain family wants to find the previous Dong Zhuo, the Dong Zhuo with a pure heart. Therefore, a certain family is determined to govern the country and Li Shu in this year of confusion! ”
Dong Zhuo's words were sincere and sincere, so that everyone present couldn't help but choose to believe him.
Gai Xun didn't expect Dong Zhuo to say this, since he just saw Dong Zhuo last night, he felt that Dong Zhuo was different from the past, Dong Zhuo's explanation at this moment undoubtedly made Gai Xun feel very happy, happy for Dong Zhuo's lost way.
He was still feeling sorry because of Dong Zhuo, and felt that Dong Zhuo was so capable of fighting well, but he was unscrupulous, greedy, and couldn't become the pillar of the court, which was a pity.
Now hearing Dong Zhuo's sincere words, Gai Xun feels that Dong Zhuo's repentance and kindness are really a blessing for the court and the people, and at this moment, all Gai Xun's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo has dissipated, and he even has some expectations for Dong Zhuo.
And Jiang Xu also had a little more affection for Dong Zhuo because of this.
And this is exactly what Dong Zhuo wants.
…………
Luoyang, the capital of the gods.
As the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for two hundred years, Luoyang is full of treasures, the king is steaming, and the tall and majestic city gate is particularly strong.
In the endless flow of into the city, an inconspicuous soap-colored carriage is mixed in, moving slowly.
Ten zhang away from the city gate, the curtain was lifted, and a handsome young man dressed in plain clothes and handsome was exposed, staring at the big word "Luoyang" on the city gate, and the young man's heart was rolling, Luoyang, I Li Ru is here, and in the next few years, I Li Ru will secretly stir up the wind and rain here.
This young man is Li Ru, who invited himself to be stationed in the capital for Dong Zhuo and always pays attention to the dynamics of the Luoyang Dynasty.
After the carriage entered the city, it did not go to the house that Li Ru bought in Luoyang, but went straight to the general's mansion.
As soon as he entered the city, Li Ru heard that the Son of Heaven had not been in the early court for several days, and the hundred officials could not see the face of the Son of Heaven at all. This is convenient for Li Ru, and he doesn't have to wait until He Jin goes to see him.
Under the leadership of the elder, Li Ru came to the lobby where the general He Jin was.
"General Pingxi's Li Ru has seen the general, the general Wanfu Jin'an!" Li Ru bowed and bowed.
"Mr. Li, please, who is Mr. Dong, and what position does he live in now?" He Jin sat on the main seat, leaning on the support, and said arrogantly.
When Li Ru heard this, he frowned slightly, and said secretly, this He Jin's arrogant attitude is not a person who has achieved great things after all, I hope he can survive until Dong Zhuo succeeds.
With a silent face, Li Ru replied without humility: "I am the son-in-law of General Dong, who was formerly a county commander in Hedong, and now lives in the middle of the Western Army. ”
After He Jin heard this, the contempt on his face was put away, and he said in surprise: "I don't want Mr. Li to be General Dong's fast son-in-law, but this general is disrespectful, Mr. Li, please take a seat." ”
He Jinqian's attitude can only make Li Ru look down on him even more, laughing at him as just a butcher, relying on his sister to win the favor of the Son of Heaven, stealing the position of the general, he is so reckless, he will die sooner or later.
After saluting He again and expressing his gratitude, Li Ru came to the seat on He Jin's right and sat down.
After sitting down, Li Ru spoke: "I came to see the general this time, but my father-in-law was worried about the general, and he was afraid that the general would be harmed by the eunuchs in the palace, so he sent him to Beijing to help the general." ”
"Oh?" When He Jin heard Li Ru's words, he was a little unhappy, snorted coldly, and said sharply: "As the queen's brother, a dignified general of the imperial court, I control the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and assist the Son of Heaven in ruling the government, how can I be harmed by those eunuchs in the palace?" ”
When Li Ru heard He Jin's words, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Since the general said so, dare to ask the general, if the soldiers and horses are today, how much can the general mobilize?" How much of the right do the generals have to speak in this matter between the DPRK and the Central People? ”
"This ......"
He Jin froze suddenly, because as a general, he couldn't mobilize every soldier in the world, and as for the court situation, he didn't have the right to speak at all, because the Son of Heaven didn't go to the court at all, and he couldn't see the face of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing that He Jin was silent, Li Ru Chen Sheng pursued and continued: "For a long time, the Ten Standing Servants sold the official beard, and the situation in the imperial court was originally controlled by the Ten Standing Servants, such as the establishment of the Xiyuan Army today, although Yuan Shao, the middle military captain, Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy, and Sun Jian, the captain of the lower military academy, are all the henchmen of the general, but the captains of the West Garden are all under the control of the upper military captain Jian Shuo, and the soldiers of Yulin, Xiyuan, and Sili are all controlled by the eunuchs.
The general should understand what this means, right? ”
He Jin smiled bitterly and nodded, he knew all this, which also meant that his life as a general was in the hands of the ten permanent servants, and people could use him at any time, but in the current situation, as Li Ru said, he couldn't mobilize a single soldier in the court, what could he do?
Looking at He Jin's appearance, Li Ru knew that his words had worked, and he continued: "Now that people are swordsmen, is the general willing to make the fish and meat on the chopping board?" Even if the general is willing, what about the He clan? Does the general want to involve the entire He clan and be harmed by the eunuchs? The general has always been filial, can he bear to be killed by a knife and axe in his old age? ”
When He Jin heard this, he was immediately shocked, but he still asked in disbelief: "What does Mr. mean by this?" My sister is the current queen, how dare the ten permanent servants be so presumptuous? ”
"The general should understand that Ling Mei, that is, the current queen's mother, was canonized as the queen because she gave birth to the first prince for the Son of Heaven. But if His Majesty has two princes today, and the little prince is pleased by the Queen Mother, if in the future, after the death of the Son of Heaven, the ten permanent servants and the Queen Mother will join forces to help the little prince to the throne, at that time, the general thinks, what will happen to you and the entire He family? ”
