Chapter XVIII
"Li Ru, he is Li Ru. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Listening to the introduction of the Confucian student, Chen Xun's heart was shocked.
Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he served Dong Zhuo with all his heart, creating the Dong Zhuo era.
Before coming out, Chen Deng commented on Li Ru: "Li Wen's excellent calculation has no omissions, if he meets a good master, the great cause will be accomplished." It's a pity that Dong Zhuo may be able to guard one side for the princes, but he is by no means a good master, Li Ru debuted as Dong Zhuo's in-law, and he is destined to not be able to choose another good master, so he can only end up with Dong Zhuo. Sad, sad! At present, the only people who can get Chen Deng's evaluation are Li Ru and Li Wenyou, and Chen Xun cannot be ignored.
"Looking for what virtue can dare to work for Mr. Lao, Mr. is here, and he can't be frightened." Chen Xun bowed to Li Ru.
"Since Yuanlong was called, why didn't he come?" Li Ru shook the fan in his hand and said.
"My brother has a lot of trivial matters in Guangling, so I have to postpone it for a while, and I will send a kid to Luoyang first to see if there is anything I can do to help." Chen Xun said respectfully.
Li Ru snorted softly and said, "Dare to ask the second son, what are you capable of." ”
"I have been learning the art of war with my brother since I was a child, and my martial arts are amazing, and the battle of Xuzhou is in the ......" Chen Xun began to brag to himself, and Li Ru just smiled faintly.
"Second son, follow me into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Xiangguo wants to meet you." Li Ru smiled slightly.
Chen Xun showed a look of great joy on his face and hurriedly said, "It's an honor to be here." ”
The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large and luxurious, and all kinds of people are flowing in it, and the people around him have stopped to salute when they see Li Ru.
"Mr. Lee." A small man about seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, and a look that did not dare to compliment, saluted respectfully to Li Ru.
"Where did Mengde come from?" Li Ru squinted and asked.
Cao Cao bowed his hand and smiled humbly: "Lord Xiangguo summoned and invited me to discuss some trivial matters, how can I compare to Mr. Li." With that, Cao Cao turned and left.
Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Xun's eyes were small, and he endured the shock in his heart.
"He is Cao Cao, the future Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu!" Chen Xun said secretly in his heart. Although Cao Cao is not good-looking, he has a temperament in him, a temperament that gives people a kind and attractive temperament.
"Dare to ask sir, who this is." Chen Xun asked, he wanted to understand from Li Ru what kind of person Cao Cao was and what was the difference between him and Cao Cao in history.
Li Ru glanced at Chen Xun lightly, wanting to see something from it,
"Cao Cao was once evaluated by General Xu Zi as a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times, I once persuaded Xiangguo to kill him, and Xiangguo took pity on his talent."
Li Ru's evaluation is only one sentence, but it is enough to show Cao Cao's extraordinary. What kind of person is Li Ru, he is a world-famous strategist, and there will never be more than one person who can get such an evaluation from him.
"Father-in-law." In an inner courtyard, Li Ru pushed the door in.
"Wenyou, you're here, sit down." It was an elegant-looking middle-aged man who was reading official documents from various provinces.
looked at Li Ru's middle-aged man with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was calm.
"Wenyou, how did I want you to do it?"
"Tomorrow, I will send someone to send King Hongnong back to his fiefdom, and the enthronement ceremony will be the day after tomorrow." Li Ru was very ruthless in history, but now it seems that Li Ru should be regarded as a humble gentleman in addition to his appearance. Although Chen Xun didn't understand what he and Dong Zhuo said, he thought so in Chen Xun's heart.
"Hey. If it weren't for His Majesty's edict to make King Chen Liuwang the emperor, I, Dong Zhongying, would definitely not do that thing of abolishing the elder and establishing the young. Dong Zhuo's face was full of regret.
On the side, Chen Xun connected what they said, King Hongnong should be Liu Whip, that is, the deposed young emperor, and King Chen Liuwang should be the first unlucky emperor in history to offer emperor Liu Xie.
"Dong Zhuo seems to be a loyal minister." Chen Xun said secretly in his heart. When he saw Dong Zhuo once, Chen Xun was shocked by Dong Zhuo's appearance, history says that Dong Zhuo is not only cruel and stupid, but also ugly, but history is often written by the victors, and Chen Xun still knows this. However, Dong Zhuo seems to be a loyal minister, which Chen Xun couldn't imagine, and his notoriety in history is calling. Of course, all this may also be a game set up by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, but Chen Xun can't figure out what they want to do.
"This person is Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi, the second son of the Chen family in Guangling, I met by chance on the road after finishing my errands." Li Ru had a smile on his face and looked calm.
"A chance encounter?" The doubts in Chen Xun's heart were immediately solved, although his Chen family was very powerful in Xuzhou, but it was not as good as Li Ru to pick it up in person.
"You are Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi, the fierce generals of Xuzhou who broke the Yellow Turban Army." Dong Zhuo approached Chen Xun and looked at it carefully, then frowned.
"It seems too young."
"Xiangguo can remember the champion Hou Hu." Chen Xun's expression was calm, and there was a bit of arrogance in his words.
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Xun with appreciation in his eyes, he ordered Li Ru to step back, and then left Chen Xun to talk in detail for an hour.
When Chen Xun came out, he was already numb, and there were too many cattle he saw today, first Li Ru, then Cao Cao, and finally Dong Zhuo.
"It seems that Dong Zhuo is not bad." Chen Xun frowned, and said secretly in his heart.
On the same day, Chen Xun went to visit Yuan Shao with a gift, and Yuan Shao's evaluation of Dong Zhuo was not bad. Then Chen Xun went to visit Cao Cao with a gift, wanting to see what this future traitor had to say about Dong Zhuo. After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao spat out the thoughts in his heart.
"Dong Xiangguo is as humble as a gentleman, but he is too radical and too upright and unsympathetic to the people, but on the whole he is a master."
Hearing Cao Cao's evaluation, Chen Xun's heart was a little shaken.
"Big brother, are you doing something wrong?"
After Dong Zhuo annexed the soldiers and horses of Xiyuan, he had 400,000 troops and occupied the land of Sanfu and Liangjing, which was the strongest force in the world, and Dong Zhuo seemed to attach great importance to Chen Deng's talent. Chen Xun thought so in his heart, but his reason and historical knowledge told him that he must not help Dong Zhuo, otherwise the Chen family would never end well.
In the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Dong of Luoyang Changle Palace,
A graceful woman was lying on a couch with a very good-looking child in front of her.
"Grandmother, if the eldest brother doesn't die, Xie'er's throne will not be long in coming." The very good-looking child was coquettish, shaking the thighs of the graceful woman.
"Xie'er, he is your eldest brother after all, although grandmother doesn't like him, but he is your father's own son after all." The woman lying on the couch stood up with a stern look on her face.
"Yes, Xie'er knows." The child's face was frightened, and he immediately walked out of the gate of Changle Palace.
"You go and find Wang Yun." The boy instructed the eunuchs who accompanied him. There was a grim look on his face.
"Old woman, if you don't let me do it, I want to do it, and I will send your grandson back to the West today."
