Chapter 116: Li Ru

Previous Chapter

"Right? What does Wen You mean by this? Dong Zhuo quietly erased the word 'right' with his hand, and looked at Li Ru with scrutinizing eyes.

Li Ru glanced at Li Xu, Guo Yan and the others who were drinking crookedly below, and whispered to Dong Zhuo: "The things that Confucianism thinks about cannot be outsiders, if the lord intends to ask, why don't we find another place?" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, and directly got up and led Li Ru to the back hall: "There should be no outsiders here, Wen You, if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”

"I wonder what the Lord thinks of the Holy Lord today?" Li Ru didn't know what Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the Han family was, so he asked tentatively first.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't seem to think too much, and directly replied in a disdainful tone: "The current emperor is mediocre and incompetent, greedy for money and lustful, and the hundreds of years of the Han family are about to be ruined by him alone. ”

"Since there is no virtuous monarch in the saint today, can the lord have the intention of doing Yin Huo's deeds?" Li Ru was very pleased with Dong Zhuo's answer, as if Dong Zhuo's words were exactly what he wanted.

"Do Yin Huo's deeds? Fix what I want, can Wen You help me succeed? "Yin Huo's matter refers to the regent of the ministers and the abolition of the emperor, if he can do such a big thing in this life, he will definitely be a very good minister at that time. Just thinking about the possibility of enjoying the glory and wealth of the world, Dong Zhuo was already excitedly clenching his hands into fists.

Li Ru arched his hand to Dong Zhuo and said: "Confucian's wish in his life is to assist the Lord of the Ming Dynasty to help the Han family rectify the dynasty. ”

"I don't know what Wenyou has to teach me?" Dong Zhuo heard that Li Ru was willing to help him on the road to power, and he immediately couldn't wait to ask.

Li Ru straightened his clothes and said with a calm smile: "Don't worry, the lord, Ru has already come up with a plan for the lord." ”

"Will the plan be released?"

"Without him, only to raise Kou's self-respecting ears."

"Raising self-respect? Wenyou, what do you mean by that? Are you going to let me collude with those Qianghu rebels to cause chaos in the world? Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words and suddenly felt unhappy, although he Dong Zhuo was eager to grasp greater authority, but asked himself Dong Zhuo could not do anything to collude with Qiang Hu to harm the people of the Han Dynasty, after all, every Han people living on the border have a hatred for the Hu Lu on the grassland, if Li Ru means to let himself join forces with Beigong Boyu, then Dong Zhuo must not agree.

Li Ru shook his head slightly: "No, no, those Qianghu rebels in Beigong Boyu are just dry bones in the mound in the eyes of Confucianism, and sooner or later they will die at the hands of the imperial court, how can Confucianism let the lord join forces with them?" ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru a little confused: "What does Wen You's self-respect mean?" ”

Li Ru was not in a hurry to explain his words at this time, but asked Dong Zhuofa: "The lord has also followed General Huangfu Song to fight in the south and north before, according to the lord's opinion, what is the martial arts strategy of General Huangfu Song?" ”

Dong Zhuo thought about it for a while and then decisively admitted: "Although that guy Huangfu Song is a little pedantic and stubborn, he is free to learn martial arts and literature after he was born as a general, and his martial arts strategy is not as good as me." ”

Li Ru immediately asked again: "Does the lord think that with your current merits, it is even higher than that of General Emperor Fu Song after he exterminated the Yellow Turban?" ”

Dong Zhuo snorted a little unhappily: "What did Wen You say, since I was ordered to go on the expedition last year, although I have fought more than ten battles in the south and the north, where can I compare to Huangfu Song's merits?" It must be known that Huangfu Song's guy even did not let go of the captives of the Yellow Turban Thieves in order to make meritorious contributions, and there were hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Thieves who died in his hands alone, not to mention that he also captured and killed countless Yellow Turban generals and Zhang Jiao Brothers with his own hands. ”

Li Ru smiled: "But in that case, where is the current General Huangfu Song?" Can the commander's soldiers and horses and his authority be compared to the current lord? ”

"This ......." Huangfu Song was previously called back to Luoyang by Emperor Liu Hong to punish him, not only was the position of Jizhou Mu and Che Cai General directly removed, but even thousands of sealed households were seized. You must know that these things are all rewards that Huangfu Song got by killing hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, but only because of the unfavorable battle with Beigong Boyu's Xiliang rebels, most of them were taken away by Emperor Liu Hong mercilessly.

Li Ru sighed: "General Huangfu Song killed a lot of thieves in the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the current saint is not a master, even if he establishes many meritorious deeds, he can't stop Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong from harming a few words of slander." In this case, why should the lord take the lives of the soldiers to fight to the death with Beigong Boyu? According to Confucianism, the lord can use Beigong Boyu to drag down the imperial army under Zhang Wen's command, but behind his back, he secretly accumulates strength in the name of counterattacking the traitors to recover the old land of Xiliang. ”

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard: "Well, according to what you say, I really don't need to work for Zhang Wen, but what's the use of just accumulating strength in the bitter cold land of Xiliang, I don't want to be a town general in Xiliang for the rest of my life!" ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was just unwilling to be a side general, Li Ru smiled confidently: "The lord doesn't need to worry about this matter, today's saint is addicted to wine and doesn't know how to control it, as far as Confucianism knows, those imperial doctors in Luoyang have been running to the palace twice in three days recently, and his dragon body must be sick if he thinks about it." His Majesty has not yet established the position of the crown prince, and has sent the emperor's eldest son to the Taoist's house, but he has raised the emperor's second son in the palace to teach him the way of the king.

However, He Jin, who is now in charge of the position of general, is the brother of Queen He, if His Majesty insists on abolishing the elder and establishing the young, how can General He give up? Or, if His Majesty really wants to appoint the second son of the emperor as the prince, will he continue to hand over the military power to General He?

When the two sides are entangled because of this, the lord who has already been in charge of a group of Xiliang tigers and wolves will inevitably become an existence that both sides want to woo. The lord can take advantage of the opportunity to lead the Xiliang Tiger into Beijing, whether it is to cater to the emperor's eldest son to the throne or the emperor's second son to seize the throne, it is all in the lord's thoughts. At that time, even if the lord really wants to do Yin Huo's things, he will be backhanded. ”

Dong Zhuo really realized the importance of Li Ru when he heard this, when he was still selling his head to work for Liu Hong, Li Ru had already thought about how to make himself a powerful minister, as long as he implemented Li Ru's plan step by step, why worry about not enjoying the glory and wealth in the future? Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo laughed: "I only know the talent of Wenyou today, and Wenyou will be my brain trust in the future, and when I achieve my wish, I will share the endless glory and wealth of the world with you!" ”

"Confucian, thank you for your favor in advance." Li Ru has no doubts about Dong Zhuo's promise, although his father-in-law is rough and murderous, the only rare highlight is a promise! What's more, the lord has no son, and as the husband of the lord's eldest daughter, is he afraid that the lord will treat him poorly?

"Look, one day I, Li Ru, will assist the lord to calm all the charms and ghosts in the Luoyang court, so that the people in the world can regain their happiness and health in the past!" Li Ru thought that his parents and relatives were ruined due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and his heart burned with resentment against those corrupt officials and eunuchs in the Luoyang court, and the whole person was full of infinite motivation.
