Now inside and outside the court, big and small things are out of the Taiwei Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Xie, the son of heaven, is still underage, and Lu Bu is in charge of the affairs of the imperial court. In addition, he didn't like to rush to the court meeting held in the palace every day at a slight dawn, so he let Liu Xie stay in the harem, and moved the entire Shangshutai office to the Taiwei Mansion.

The original Lu Bu Mansion was naturally insufficient, so it occupied Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Dong Zhuo was originally a lieutenant, but now he is cheap Lu Bu.

After Lü Bu took control of the imperial court, he appointed Wei Xu as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, in charge of the forbidden army, responsible for the security of the palace, and actually monitored the every move of the Han Emperor Liu Xie. Then he appointed Li Su as the governor of Jinwu and controlled Chang'an City. then rewarded his strategists and generals.

For Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui and some others, Lu Bu is not stingy with titles, and what should be rewarded is still a reward, but he has no real power. For some important positions, all of them were filled by strategists and generals under Lu Bu.

There are many generals under Lu Bu, including Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Wei Xu and others, but there is Li Ru in Wenzhi. Moreover, Li Ru is newly surrendered, although Lu Bu said that he did not doubt the employment of people, and he never showed doubts about Li Ru, but in the final analysis, Lu Bu still had a trace of suspicion in his heart.

Although Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui and others have a high reputation, these people are all from noble families, and they have always looked down on Lu Bu, who was born in the army. To take these people under his command is tantamount to whimsy. The trench between the family and the Hanmen cannot be replaced at all, at least not at present.

As for Wang Yun and others, they were even more separated from Lu Bu, and it was too late to take precautions, how could Lu Bu dare to use them.

The imperial court is in ruins, whether it is money or talents, it seems to be stretched. Lu Bu is not familiar with political affairs, so he urgently needs talents from all walks of life. After discussing with Li Ru, Li Ru suggested that Lu Bu set up a banquet in the Taiwei Mansion, inviting the ministers of the imperial court and the military under his command, as well as the wealthy merchants and squires of Chang'an. These two may be able to take refuge in Cao Cao in the future, and if they can be taken under their account now, there will be more hope for a duel with Cao Cao in the future.

In addition to these two people, there are also Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song. These two are not only experts in marching and leading troops to fight, but also famous generals who exterminated the Yellow Turbans.

These three are naturally to raise money.

Although there is money copied from Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu plans to use part of this money to build a strong army. Especially when Gao Shun's hundreds of camps were able to capture Chang'an City without fear of death, Lu Bu thought about building a strong cavalry.

Lu Bu has always been keen on cavalry combat, so he also expects to be able to lead the cavalry to gallop across the country in the future.

The banquet was scheduled for three days later, located in the Taiwei Mansion, and at the same time, news was spread that merchants from all over the world were welcome to come to Chang'an to participate in Lu Bu's banquet.

Although Lu Bu is now a lieutenant, there is always some estrangement between him and these people. No matter Lu Bu's background or qualifications, he is not qualified for the position of Tai Lieutenant, and some of them only have the credit of killing Dong Zhuo.

There are many dissatisfied people, especially Wang Yun and others. When Lu Bu sent someone to send the invitation to Wang Yun's mansion, Wang Yun's eyes showed deep hatred.

"Huh? Shafters also want to learn to buy people's hearts? ”

Shi Sun Rui glanced at Wang Yun lightly, and sighed in his heart, since Dong Zhuo was killed, this Wang Yun acted too arbitrarily and couldn't listen to persuasion, plus he looked down on Lu Bu from the bottom of his heart, and sooner or later he would lead to trouble.

Is Lu Bu a reckless man? Judging from the current situation, he was reluctant to do anything under Dong Zhuo before, but now after killing Dong Zhuo, he immediately incorporated the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo and firmly controlled the imperial court.

Did you drive away the jackals and bring in the tigers? There was deep worry hidden in Shi Sunrui's eyes. He raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Yun, and said, "Zishi, now that Lu Bu has gained power and controlled the inside and outside of the imperial court, the entire Chang'an City is under his surveillance, and it is difficult to shake its power for a while. This person is under Dong Zhuo's command, and he has endured it for many years, so he should not be underestimated! ”

Wang Yun couldn't help but be indignant when he thought of Lu Bu: "This person is just a horseman, once he gains power, he will be arrogant and domineering, but he is another Dong Zhuoer!" ”

Shi Sun Rui took a sip of wine and said: "Now that Lu Bu has controlled Chang'an, and he is not as murderous as Dong Zhuo, it is not easy to get rid of this person." ”

"Haha!" Wang Yun suddenly smiled and said: "Jun Ce, don't forget that although Lu Bu has incorporated the Xiliang army, how many of the Xiliang troops under his command are sincerely obedient, but they are just temporarily obedient." ”

"Hmm!" Shi Sun Rui nodded and said, "Even so, after experiencing Dong Zhuo's incident, how could Lu Bu not have the heart to guard against us?" ”

Wang Yun said confidently: "So tomorrow Lu Bu invites me to the banquet, you wait, but the old man can't go!" ”

"Why?" Shi Sun Rui was puzzled in his heart, but suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Yun, and said with a smile: "It's still the son of the master." He was also a smart man, and he instantly understood what Wang Yun meant.

Suddenly, another thing came to mind: "Lu Bu intends to recruit Li Dao, Guo Yan and others." If these people surrender to Lü Bu, Lü Bu's power will be strengthened. At that time, if Lu Bu can integrate the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, it will be even more difficult for us to get rid of this person at that time. ”

"Does Junce have a clever plan?"

Shi Sun Rui smiled and said, "This matter is easy to hear." can order people to spread rumors in the Tongguan area, saying that Lu Bu wants to kill the people of Liangzhou, and the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo will be panicked at that time. After that, they could spread rumors in Chang'an that Li Dao and Guo Yan were avenging Dong Zhuo, intending to attack Chang'an! We can get rid of Lu Bu and rescue the Son of Heaven when Lu Bu is fighting in the Xiliang Army! ”

"This matter needs to be carefully planned!"

Shi Sun Rui nodded. Wang Yun thought of Lu Bu, his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, and suddenly he thought of Diao Chan, and said with confidence in his heart: "What's more, I still have a chess piece to use!" ”

…………

Let's say that Cai Yong, because he cried and worshiped Dong Zhuo, was almost killed by Wang Yun, and then was pardoned by Lu Bu. It's just that Lu Bu didn't allow it, and he also counted on using Cai Yong's reputation to recruit talents from all over the world.

When Cai Yong received Lu Bu's invitation, he sighed and said, "This Lu Bu is really the same as Dong Zhuo!" ”

Cai Yan stretched out his hand to take the invitation from his father, and after reading it, he sighed in his heart: "Daddy, this Lu Bu invited Daddy to the banquet, not to mention his purpose, just for the sake of him saving Daddy's life, Daddy shouldn't refuse." ”

"I don't know! It's just that if you agree to go, I'm afraid that you will be entangled in the future! What's more, this Lu Bu still had thoughts about you before. Dad doesn't want to get along with this person! ”

"Daddy, don't worry. This Lu Bu is not just a martial artist. If his daughter is unwilling, he Lu Bu will definitely not use his power to suppress people. Cai Yongqi said: "How does Wen Ji know? ”

The intelligent Wen Ji knew from the invitation and from the series of measures to control the government after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, that Lu Bu was by no means as simple as a martial artist described in the rumors.

"Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, was able to absorb the Xiliang Army, control Chang'an, and everything big and small in the government came from his hands, and a person who could have such means could not be a martial artist. Father thinks about Dong Zhuo when he entered Luoyang and incorporated He Jin's ministry, and to this day, what Lu Bu has done is not Dong Zhuo of that day? ”

Cai Yong looked at Wen Ji in surprise and said, "Wen Ji, what you said is true?" Is this Lu Bu really another national thief? ”

Wen Ji shook her head and said, "Daddy, this is just a daughter's guess!" This Lu Bu's personality, Yan'er is not clear. Daddy went to the banquet just to express his gratitude. More on that later. ”

Cai Yan's eyes also flashed a shallow melancholy, the so-called power is better than the human wall, if her father can choose, then her family would rather go back to Chen Liu's hometown, it is better than being coerced in Chang'an.

Cai Yong nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Wen Ji, this man should get married, and the woman should get married!" It's time for Daddy to find you a husband! ”

Gently plucking the strings, Cai Yan couldn't help but recall that snowy night, when he first met him, it was dimly as if it happened last night. Unconsciously, Cai Yan sprouted a trace of inexplicable feelings in his heart.

Cai Yan thought stupidly, not caring about what Cai Yong said.

Cai Yong saw it, sighed, and shook his head helplessly.

…………

Of course, for Lu Bu's banquet, some people, such as those merchants, are very concerned. It is a very honorable thing to be able to get the banquet of the great general. After all, in this era, the status of businessmen is very low, not to mention, Lu Bu has a banquet, who dares not to come.

Merchants and squires near Chang'an who received invitations all came to the Taiwei Mansion for a banquet.

During this period, the northland businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were introduced. These two people were the northbound businessmen who funded Liu Bei during the Yellow Turban Uprising during the Zhongping period, and it was with the funding of these two people that Liu Bei gathered a group of teams during the Yellow Turban Uprising.

These two men sold silk, tea, and salt from the Central Plains to the north in exchange for cattle, sheep, and horses of the Hu people, and accumulated hundreds of millions of family fortunes.

In the past few days, the search for trade cooperation in Chang'an coincided with the killing of Dong Zhuo, and after the two heard about it, they felt very happy. Later, I heard that some friends said that Taiwei Lu Bu wanted to invite his subordinates to a banquet, and even welcomed businessmen to come to the banquet.

After listening to it, the two also had the intention to take a look. The two have been in business for many years, and with a keen eye, maybe this is an opportunity.

Three days later, Lü Bu held a banquet in Taiwei's mansion, and the people who came were not only the military officers under Lü Bu's command, but also the newly descended generals of the Xiliang army, as well as squires, wealthy merchants, and so on.

The feast was placed in the great courtyard.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Li Ru, Huang Fusong. Zhu Jun and others, as well as Shi Sun Rui, Zhao Qian, Yang Biao, Cai Yong and others, of course, Wang Yun did not come.

Lu Bu sat in the middle, facing everyone, looked at the people who came to the banquet, got up and said loudly: "Everyone, I invite you to come today, firstly, to take this opportunity to express my heart, and secondly, I also want to take the opportunity to discuss the country's great plans with you. ”

Everyone listened quietly as Lu Bu continued: "Dong Zhuo is dead, but the world is not peaceful. Since the Zhongping period, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living. Later, there was Dong Zhuo's cholera dynasty, bullying the Son of Heaven, poisoning living beings, and everyone in the world wanted to be punished. I know that there are many people who were under Dong Zhuo's command before, but now, you are the soldiers under my Lu Bu, the soldiers of the imperial court, and you are no longer the Xiliang army, and you are no longer the minions who help the abuse. As long as you are loyal to Captain Ben and the imperial court, you are still my loyal and brave soldiers. Ben will never treat you as close to you. Ben will treat everyone equally, without favoritism, Ben will be willing to swear here. ”

"Good!"

Xu Rong got up, knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "I will not hesitate to go to the soup for Lord Taiwei." ”

Li Ru, Fan Chou and others also echoed one after another.

There were two people beside Cai Yong below, one of them was tall, about forty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and a three-fold beard and a flowing middle-aged man said to another man on the side: "Gongda, Lu Bu is really like the rumored martial artist?" ”

The man beside him was also about forty years old, with a handsome face and a long figure, and his eyes flashed with wisdom: "Yuan Chang is cautious, and continue to listen." ”

These two are Zhong Xuan and Xun You.

At this time, one person got up and snorted coldly: "Lu Bu, everything puts you in front of the court, you are a big rebel, where do you put the Son of Heaven?" Do you want to be Dong Zhuo? ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole house was shocked!
