Duan Jue took the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang straight up to the west along the bank of the Yellow River, and when he heard the sound of going far behind him and gradually disappearing, he only said that Yuan Shao chased after Zhang Rang, but he escaped.

He was breathing a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt the ground vibrate slightly, and then became more and more violent, and a rumbling thunder came from the front!

Duan Jue was not a stupid person, he immediately turned pale with fright, and then his mind turned straight, wanting to lead someone to turn around and leave. Suddenly, he stopped.

"Yuan Shao will chase Zhang Rang, he will be able to catch up, and he will be able to know where I fled from there, and then track him up, and there will be chasing soldiers in front of him, and there will be interception of the sky and death in front of me!" Duan Jue's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he turned his face to the side and followed: "I can't escape, let's disperse quickly!" ”

"What about you, my lord?" The attendant asked.

"Me? Hehe" Duan Jue waved his sleeves and said, "I want to be with the Son of Heaven!" ”

Seeing this, everyone knew that Duan Jue had made up his mind, and immediately scattered, most of them fled to the mountains in the north.

After a few breaths, only Duan Jue, the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang were left on the bank of the river.

In an instant, as the horses' hooves smashed on the ground, a large army galloped from the west.

"Where is the Son of Heaven? Where is the Son of Heaven!? ”

Dong Zhuo's rough voice sounded on the riverbank like a broken gong.

"The Son of Heaven is here!"

It turned out to be King Chen Liu, who glanced at the depressed Duan Jue, took two steps forward, and shouted loudly.

The immature voice, with the river breeze, was heard by Dong Zhuo.

"Son of Heaven!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and secretly said that he had come at the right time, and hurriedly stepped forward, only to see a large and two small figures on the riverbank, and three figures standing there.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand to stop the march of the army, dismounted, strode over, and saw the small figure wearing a dragon robe standing beside the eunuch Duan Qi at a glance.

"You are?" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Liuwang again.

"I am the king of Chen Liu!"

"It turned out to be King Chen Liu" Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked at the adult beside Tianzi again.

"Who are you?"

"Duan Jue!" Duan Jue raised his head, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said: "Xiliang Dong Zhuo, now that you have saved the driver, and your promotion is just around the corner, hehehe, you have to treat the Son of Heaven well, otherwise I, Duan Jue, will not let you go!" After speaking, under Dong Zhuo's vigilant gaze, Duan Jue suddenly turned around and threw himself into the rolling Yellow River, leaving three pairs of stunned eyes.

Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Duan Jue would threaten the Son of Heaven just now, so he was completely relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu.

Then he asked how things had happened.

The Son of Heaven was pale and his eyes were blank, but he was frightened and couldn't speak, only King Chen Liu, who said it word by word.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo's mind became more and more lively.

No matter how great the merit of saving the driver is, at most it will not be promoted by a few levels, if

After arranging the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, Dong Zhuo immediately waved his army and was about to go to Luoyang, and after walking for a while, he met Yuan Shao, who was catching up.

Yuan Shao saw that Dong Zhuo had taken the lead, and seeing that his army was strong, he did not dare to perform his edge, and he was also faintly regretting in his heart, regretting that he should not have echoed Xu Yu in the first place, and summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing. But now it's a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to be done.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo stationed 100,000 Xiliang elite soldiers outside the city, and he brought Li Ru, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu and other henchmen and 5,000 personal guards into Luoyang City.

Then, in the name of the Son of Heaven, he summoned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and gathered in the Zhengxuan Palace.

At this time, the sun is rising, and it is the hour of the hour.

The shouts and screams of killing at night, as well as the sound of horses' hooves across Luoyang, made the residents of the entire Luoyang City tremble. At this time, when it was quiet, there was a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

The ministers received the edict of the Son of Heaven and immediately rushed to the palace, and in a short time, the civil and military gathered.

In the main hall, the Son of Heaven sat on the dragon bed, and Dong Zhuo actually moved a chair and sat beside the Son of Heaven, with the suspicion of not putting the majesty of the Son of Heaven in his eyes.

So some ministers stepped forward to accuse.

"Who are you to dare to sit on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven, and go against the grain! Sin deserves death! ”

Dong Zhuo stood up with a sigh of rage and shouted: "Thief bird, the Son of Heaven was in trouble last night, and he didn't care about it. Now I dare to accuse me, the hero of saving the driver, but I don't put the Son of Heaven in my eyes, come here! Pull him down and cut him apart! ”

As soon as the words fell, several big men rushed in outside the palace gate, and pulled the minister out without saying anything, and after a while, only a miserable scream was heard, which frightened the ministers in the entire hall to tremble!

This man is so fierce!

"Zhongqing's family," At this time, the Son of Heaven spoke: "This is Xiliang Dong Zhuo, who saved the driver last night, how do you think you should be rewarded?" ”

The Son of Heaven's face was still a little pale. I don't know if it was because of the fright last night, or because I was shocked by Dong Zhuo's brutality just now.

Dong Zhuo shot a pair of copper bells in all directions, waiting for the minister to speak.

"Your Majesty, Dong Zhou's pastoral rescue is meritorious, and he deserves to be rewarded. Now that the position of hussar general is vacant, it is better to be concurrently served by Dong Zhoumu. Taiwei Yang Biao stood up and said in a deep voice.

The Son of Heaven was about to agree, but when he saw Dong Zhuo staring at him fiercely, he couldn't help but tremble, and changed his words: "Tai Lieutenant, Dong Zhoumu saved me and my younger brother, it can be said that he saved the world from danger, and a hussar general is not enough." ”

Yang Biao raised his head, but saw Dong Zhuo looking at him with a smile, and for no reason his heart trembled, and immediately retreated and stopped talking.

Then, Taifu Yuan Kui stood up again.

"Your Majesty, now only the position of hussar general is vacant, and others such as the three dukes and nine kings are all capable of serving" Yuan Kui was interrupted by Dong Zhuo before he finished speaking.

"Benzhou Mu heard that the general has returned to heaven, and the position of the general is hehehe" As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked - Dong Zhuo actually had such ambitions, and wanted to take the position of the general and control the power of the world!

"Benzhou Mu doesn't covet it," After saying this, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and listened to Dong Zhuo again: "The position of the general, Benzhou Mu doesn't want it, otherwise some people will be unhappy, but Benzhou Mu saved the Son of Heaven, it's not too much to be a prince, right?" ”

Taishi? Teacher Tianzi?

The ministers thought to themselves, as long as the position of the general did not fall into his hands, it didn't matter if the official position of the Taishi was in name or not. So they all agreed.

Then, Dong Zhuo asked the Son of Heaven to reward Li Ru, Hua Xiong and other die-hard supporters of Dong Zhuo, and then dispersed.

Returning to the temporary residence arranged by the imperial court, Dong Zhuo called Li Ru to the study and told him everything that had happened in the court just now.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what do you think of this master's handling?" Dong Zhuo already claimed to be a master of ether.

"The master's means are very good, and the son-in-law admires it so much." Li Ru said: "The Taishi first gave the courtiers a dismount, so that they did not dare to look sideways; and then exchanged the position of general for the position of Taishi, and the wrist was good. However, Taishi, Confucianism thinks that the courtiers may not compromise on this! ”

"Don't I know?" Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves and said hatefully: "You didn't see their faces, as soon as the Son of Heaven mentioned the identity of this Taishi, they all showed disdain. If it weren't for the bloody coercion from the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the position of the Grand Master! ”

"These courtiers claim to be from a family, or a disciple of a saint, and they don't take us and other humble martial artists in their eyes, it's really hateful! When this Taishi masters the government, he will take them one by one to avenge this! ”

"No!" Li Ru hurriedly shouted.

"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, and he was angry.

Li Ru hurriedly said: "In this world, after all, it needs literati governance, and it is inseparable from the support of families from all over the world. If the Taishi wants to reign in the world, the only way to have a good relationship with these people is to have the best policy! ”

"Humph! Master Ben thought, but it's a pity that these people's eyes are born on the top of their heads! What can I do?! Dong Zhuo was very helpless. We need these people and hate them! You can't kill it, and the court collapsed after killing; Scold and scold, scold people who hate you all your life, and make small moves from time to time, so that you fall every day!

"Taishi, these things still have to be done later, the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the situation in Luoyang!" Li Ru said: "Also, Ding Yuan of Bingzhou has just arrived outside Luoyang City, and now he is stationing soldiers and horses. ”

"Ding Yuan has arrived?" Dong Zhuo was a little surprised. He was stationed in Hedong early, so he was able to arrive in Luoyang at such a fast speed, and Ding Yuan was far away in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and he was only half a day slower!

"Hehe, his ambition is not small!" Dong Zhuo sneered and asked, "How many people are there in Ding Yuan?" ”

"About 10,000!" Li Coning frowned and said: "And these 10,000 people don't seem to be strong in combat, Confucianism can't think of it, why did Ding Yuan dare to come to Luoyang and grab credit from the Taishi!" ”

"But Taishi, now Luoyang is not stable, and for Ding Yuan, it is still important to stabilize his heart." Li Ru suggested: "Why don't the Taishi let the Son of Heaven issue an edict and seal Ding Yuan as an official, so that he can feel at ease." Then rectify the security of Luoyang, close the eight schools of Xiyuan, and wait for the hidden danger to be lifted, and it is not too late to clean up Ding Yuan! ”

"Well, that's true!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "In this case, the matter of stabilizing Luoyang will be handed over to Wen You." The master immediately entered the palace and asked for the holy decree. ”

"Yes."

Ding Yuan was about to enter the city to meet the Son of Heaven, but he received an edict and named him a hussar general!

Ding Yuan was overjoyed, turned around and returned to the military camp outside the city, and gathered his subordinates to celebrate.

Dong Zhuo was relieved when he heard the news.

Although he had an army of 100,000, Ding Yuan only had 10,000. But if Luoyang City is not cleaned up, I'm afraid things will still be variable. That's why it's so tolerant. Otherwise, with Dong Zhuo's surname, he would have killed Ding Yuan with his army a long time ago.

Then, Dong Zhuo sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to collect the Xiyuan Army; sent Huaxiong to patrol Luoyang and manage law and order; sent Li Ru to give gifts everywhere and make friends with the powerful of the family; Sent Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others to lead the army outside the city, everything seemed to be just orderly, without any flaws.

Taifu's mansion is now in a depression.

After that bloody blow from the dark department, Yuan Kui didn't recruit many more people, and in the huge mansion, in addition to the people who maintained the basic operation, all the people of the Yuan family in Luoyang City were repatriated by Yuan Kui to his hometown - Ruyang.

Yuan Kui, who had white hair, sat on the main seat, and his nephews Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu sat at the bottom.

"At the beginning, the highway, what do you think of the current situation in Luoyang?" Yuan Kui looked at the two most important heirs of the Yuan family, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Yuan Shao is better, he has some calculations, Yuan Shu is basically a gentleman, he can't deal with big things, and when he encounters small things, he is very good at telling right and wrong.

"Uncle, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and Ding Yuan arrived, Luoyang wants to be calm, but my nephew is always a little uneasy in his heart." Yuan Shao said.

"Cut, what's the rest? Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan holds a large army, but they check and balance each other, and there are the Son of Heaven and his uncle and others above to suppress it, the whole Luoyang is very stable, where will anything happen? I think you're too worried, big brother! Yuan Shutang didn't care about sarcasm.

Yuan Shao didn't care, he only looked at Yuan Kui.

"Highway!" Yuan Kui frowned, very dissatisfied with this nephew, and said: "Luoyang seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent. Dong Zhuojiu was in Xiliang, murderous and brutal, just arrived in Luoyang, he killed a minister on top of the main hall, and he was definitely not a good stubble. It seems that he is now making friends with powerful people everywhere and carefully governing Luoyang, but in fact, it is because he has just arrived in Luoyang, and he is afraid that Luoyang will be unstable and difficult to control. It's definitely not a fear of Ding Yuan. With Ding Yuan's strength, Dong Zhuo would not be in his eyes at all. ”

"The old man can be sure that when Dong Zhuo takes control of Luoyang and seals the mouths of the ministers, he will uproot Ding Yuan and then take charge of the government alone!"

"Huh!?"

Yuan Shao was stunned and said: "As my uncle said, Dong Zhuo is so brutal, when he masters Luoyang and drives out Ding Yuan, then"

Yuan Kui nodded and said, "Even so, Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to mess around." No matter how brutal he is, he doesn't dare to do anything to me and the other three princes and nine kings. There was a bit of arrogance in his words.

Yuan Kui does have proud capital, the fourth world and the third duke, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and he is rich, and he secretly holds soldiers and horses, in addition to being afraid of Liu Yuan, who wants to destroy him, he has been in the world several times, and he can't find another person who dares to attack his Yuan family! Dong Zhuo, I don't have that qualification!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shuju both nodded yes.
