Chapter 239: Petition of the Peoples
Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Wen You, although Cao Canghe is both civil and military, he is a rare talent, but he is just a Beigong Guard Order, although he has the identity of a concubine, but under the situation of imperial power, the Empress Dowager is still useless, let alone a concubine?" What's more, this person is currently in prison, and if someone frames him again, his life will be difficult to protect. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Li Ru smiled slightly: "My father-in-law doesn't know, although Cao Ju has not been in Luoyang for a long time, he has left an excellent reputation in Luoyang City and is deeply loved by the people. This time, the Yuan clan sent people everywhere to spread the news that Cao Ju had killed He Jin, but Cao Ju had won the hearts of the people, and there was no one in a hundred who believed it. Therefore, if the father-in-law wants to really sit firmly in Luoyang, if he can get Cao Ju's help, then the people of Luoyang will be full of support. ”
Dong Zhuo asked: "Wen You, do you know how Cao Ju won the hearts of the people of Luoyang?" ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "Luoyang City, there are many nobles and nobles, and there are many bullies among the people, but the four lieutenants in the city are not as good as Cao Mengde at the beginning, they dare to kill and plot, so they have to suppress the people and serve the officials. However, Cao Ju can not be afraid of the powerful and make decisions for those people, although he has been in Luoyang for a short time, he has already avenged the people hundreds of grievances, how can the people's hearts not be attached? ”
"Cao Cang is really chivalrous." Dong Zhuo gave a thumbs up and praised, "Lone is also the most hated by the powerful and oppressive of good people, Cao Canghe's actions are very lonely, good, Wen You, tomorrow morning, Lone suggested to the Queen Mother that Cao Ju be acquitted." ”
Li Ru nodded and said: "It's just that Cao Ju's killing of He Jin has not yet come to fruition, and my father-in-law is a guarantee for Cao Ju at this time, so Cao Ju can't get rid of the relationship with my father-in-law anyway." ”
"Hahahaha......" Dong Zhuo immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay, it should be like this." ”
After saying that, Dong Zhuo frowned again and said: "Wen You, right now, you are one of the three dukes, and you have military power, but the ministers of the court and the central government are dissatisfied with Gu Duo, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "Father-in-law, this matter is easy to hear, observing from the period of time of the son-in-law, most of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, including the Yuan family and the Yang family, and the only people who really have backbone are Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and a few other people, so they are not enough to be afraid." ”
"As long as my father-in-law can do an earth-shattering thing, it is enough to deter hundreds of officials in the DPRK, and then no one will dare to be an enemy of my father-in-law."
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wen You, what is the earth-shattering event?" Could it be that Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others were all killed? But that Huangfu Song is Cao Ju's teacher, if he kills Huangfu, then Cao Ju'an can be attached to Lone again? ”
Li Ru shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course not, my father-in-law has seen Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, a few days ago, and he loves him very much, why not abolish the current emperor and establish Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor?" ”
This matter, if it were an ordinary person, would definitely be taken aback, and then express opposition, but Dong Zhuo was just stunned, and then laughed and said: "Yes, Wen You's words are very lonely." ”
Li Ru said: "It's just that Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, is smart, and his young fashion can be controlled, but once he grows up, he will inevitably compete with his father-in-law for power." ”
Dong Zhuo said disapprerovitically: "At present, the Han family is unified, thieves are swarming everywhere, and the Han Dynasty must produce a Ming monarch, then Liu Xie experienced a great chaos in his childhood, and he can still be calm, and he will be a Ming monarch in the future." Lonely to learn from that Huo Guang and Yi Yin, when Liu Xie is old and pro-government, he will return the power to him. ”
"In other words, Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren was harmed by the Empress Dowager He, and the abolition of the son of the Empress Dowager He is to avenge Liu Xie, and Lone also has kindness to him."
Li Ru also agreed, and said: "In this way, my father-in-law will definitely be like Na Yiyin and Huo Guang will be like Changyi, and they will be famous for centuries and famous." ”
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "This is the ambition of loneliness. ”
In fact, Dong Zhuo, not only did he not have the intention of usurping power, but also wanted to regularize the Han Dynasty, so he would empty the rights of the Empress Dowager He, rehabilitate the Qingliu, and wantonly promote loyal ministers like Cai Yong who had been framed by the Ten Standing Servants, and even wanted to abolish the ignorant and cowardly Liu Bian, and replace the smart and capable Liu Bian, all of which were contributing to the Han Dynasty, and at that time it did make the eyes of the people of Luoyang light up, thinking that Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing was not a bad thing.
Li Ru also agreed, not because he was short-minded, nor because he had no vision, but he didn't expect that after the abolition, Dong Zhuo was addicted to the beauties of the harem, and there was almost no restraint on the Xiliang Army, which made Dong Zhuo lose the support of the people in a short period of time, Li Rubai couldn't persuade him, and he had no choice but to do anything.
The next morning, Dong Zhuo played: "Your Majesty, the concubine Cao Ju has been in prison for more than half a month, but he has not investigated the exact evidence that he killed the general He Jin. ”
"Ah......" Dong Zhuo has a long-cherished wish with Cao Ju, and many people know about it from Huangfu Song, but they don't want Dong Zhuo not only not to take the opportunity to kill Cao Ju, but to intercede for him, which is really incomprehensible.
Be smart, and quickly reacted, Dong Zhuo was trying to recruit Cao Ju. The one who was not smart thought that Cao Ju was worried that he would be killed in the future, so he took the initiative to bow to Dong Zhuo.
Empress Dowager He was shocked and angry, a Dong Zhuo has already controlled the government, it is difficult to deal with, if there is a Cao Ju, where will their mother and son talk in the future of the Han Dynasty.
"It's... This ......" Liu Wei was scared when he saw Dong Zhuo, and when he heard the words, he didn't have any ideas, stammered, and turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager He.
While secretly scolding her son for being cowardly and incompetent, Empress Dowager He had to snort coldly and said: "Dong Sikong, although there is no full evidence for the time being, there is no way to prove that Cao Ju has nothing to do with this matter, how can you let it go at will, this matter must not be." ”
Dong Zhuo said lightly: "Wechen is preparing to start this matter, the murderer who shot the general has been arrested by Wechen, and under some torture, he confessed to this matter, so this matter has nothing to do with Cao Yuma." If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, she can send someone to investigate in Luoyang City, and even the people of Luoyang know about this matter. ”
Seeing that Empress Dowager He's face had changed greatly, Dong Zhuo said triumphantly: "Before the early dynasty today, Weichen got the news that after the people of Luoyang learned about this, they rushed to the palace, and all the people wrote a book, praying for the release of the concubine Cao Juye. ”
At this moment, a Yulin army shouted at the gate of Changle Palace: "Your Majesty, all the people are petitioning outside the palace to release the concubine Cao Ju." ”
"......" No matter how stupid Empress Dowager He is, she understands that this is all Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, forcing her to release Cao Ju without charge. (To be continued.) )
