Chapter 193, Convincing the Emperor (Second Update)
"Get rid of Dong Zhuo? If Lu Aiqing can really help me get rid of Dong Zhuo, even if there are ten conditions, I will agree. Emperor Liu Xie looked at Lu Zhan seriously, as if he had made a promise.
"Hehe, the emperor, the minister is not a greedy person, as long as the emperor agrees to two conditions."
Lu Zhan looked back at him and said with a light smile, "After getting rid of Dong Zhuo, the first condition is that the emperor immediately appoints the minister as the Liangzhou pastor, so as to take over Dong Zhuo's brigade of soldiers and horses and prevent some generals who have always been loyal to him from rebelling; The second condition is that when the minister takes over Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, he will not stay in Luoyang and will not pose a threat to the emperor. The ministers will wave their troops and withdraw to Xiliang. Before that, the Allies had to be repulsed. The minister has a way to defeat the allies without working hard and mobilizing the people, but he has to borrow the emperor's jade seal to use it. ”
"Lu Aiqing, I can promise you the first condition. But secondly, I didn't want to defeat the allies, but hoped that the allies would be stationed in Luoyang. Although Liu Xie is young, he is smart and clever, and after listening to what Lu Zhan said, he thought about it.
"Your Majesty, Chrysostom is a jade speaker." Lu Zhan reminded.
"This ......" Liu Xie was speechless.
"Your Majesty, if the allied forces are stationed in Luoyang, won't they go to Dong Zhuo, the wolf, and the allied tiger? At that time, they all asked the emperor to reward them because of their meritorious escorts, but they were afraid that the already weak court would make matters worse. If the allied princes fight because of the unfair reward, if someone for their own selfishness, they will hold the army to their own dignity and the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Wouldn't the emperor lose his freedom and majesty from the free body that he had just escaped from Dong Zhuo's clutches, and the puppet held in his hand by the portrait? Lu Zhan said bitterly.
"What? They dare to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Liu Xie was shocked.
"Just think about Dong Zhuo's experience." Lu Zhan said, "Luoyang is the national capital, and the princes must not be allowed to have heavy troops in the national capital." Therefore, the Allies must first be repulsed. After the allies retreated, it was the best policy for the emperor to develop his own power. Only when you are strong is king. ”
"Hearing Lu Aiqing say this, I suddenly opened my mouth, so let's do what Aiqing said." Liu Xie thought for a long time before he nodded, "It's just to repel the allies, why do you need to use the jade seal of the country?" ”
"The jade seal of the country is the treasure of the country and the symbol of the country. The emperor thought about it, if the jade seal of the country appeared in front of the princes of the allies, they would definitely fight for a beating, and then the so-called alliance would be self-defeating. Thus the Allies must retreat. ”
"Lu Aiqing's method is wonderful. It's just that you also said that the jade seal of the country is a treasure of the country, how can it be lost? The emperors of all dynasties regarded it as their surname and loved it very much. If you don't have it to guard the palace, I'm afraid it's not good for my Han. Liu Xie said with a frowning eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, the jade seal can not only be used to divide the allied forces, but also a touchstone to test the loyalty of the allied princes. If the allies retreated, the emperor immediately announced to the world, saying that the jade seal of the country was lost. If a prince gets it but doesn't hand it over, it proves that he has two hearts and is disloyal to the emperor......" Lu Zhan said that his mouth was almost dry, and if Liu Xie didn't agree, he would no longer insist.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie actually agreed to him.
"Lu Aiqing, what you said is extremely true. So be it. But now the most important thing is to get rid of Dong Zhuo, right? Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo, who was standing aside and didn't say a word. He felt that Dong Zhuo seemed to be abnormal and something was wrong today.
"Your Majesty, from now on, you don't need to be afraid of Dong Zhuo anymore. Because he was dead last night. Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him agree.
"What? Dong Zhuo is dead? So who is he? Did Aiqing kill Dong Zhuo? Liu Xie said in astonishment.
"Dong Zhuo was drunk last night and wanted to insult the Queen Mother. was attacked by the Queen Mother with a sharp blade and killed him. The Queen Mother asked people to go to the Tiger Prison Pass overnight to call the ministers back to deal with the matter. Lu Zhan made a long story short, pointed at Meng Gu and said, "He is not Dong Zhuo, but someone to pretend to be." ”
"Pretending, how can it be exactly the same as Dong Zhuo?" Liu Xie's heart was still difficult to calm down, "No wonder I noticed that something was wrong with him. ”
"This involves the secret art of the minister, and the minister cannot be advised."
"Okay, Lu Aiqing, when do you need to pass on the jade seal?"
"Your Majesty, come to the Emperor when you need it."
……
After that, Lu Zhan said goodbye to the emperor and took Meng Gu to Dong Zhuo's prime minister's mansion. Just settled Meng Gu in the room. Dong Zhuo's daughter Dong Jiaojiao is here.
When she saw Lu Zhan, her eyes lit up - early in the morning, Niu Fu left, and now it was a critical moment to protect the Tiger Prison Pass, and he, the grain supervisor, did not dare to take it lightly at this juncture. Last night, Niu Fu made her surname interesting, and she didn't say goodbye this morning, which made her very angry. Seeing Lu Zhan now, she was inexplicably happy, and the blood in her body faintly accelerated the flow, making her jade face climb into a faint flush.
She originally came to see her father Dong Zhuo, but when she ran into Lu Zhan, she stopped, and she didn't move when she looked at Lu Zhan with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Thinking of what happened to her father last night, Lu Zhan couldn't bear it, but he couldn't show it, and he was hesitating to say what to say. Dong Jiaojiao walked over lightly, stared sideways into his eyes and said, "Lu Zhan, why are you back?" And still here? ”
"Miss Dong, I'll be back before dawn." Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Zhan whispered to her, "It's a matter of looking for Master Dong." This morning, I learned that he was drunk last night and slept in the Queen Mother's Yongle Palace. ”
"What? My dad slept in the Queen Mother's Yongle Palace last night? Dong Jiaojiao said in surprise, and immediately added, "I'll go see him." ”
pushed open the two wooden doors embedded with gold in Dong Zhuo's bedroom, and shouted urgently: "Dad, are you okay?" ”
At this time, Meng Gu was lying on the wide wooden bed covered with brocade quilts, looking at everything in the room, and couldn't sleep with excitement. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me a father, turned my head to look, and saw a beautiful woman hurrying over, knowing that it was Dong Zhuo's daughter Dong Jiaojiao. He hurriedly shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
"I heard Lu Zhan say, you went to Yongle Palace last night to spend the night?" Dong Jiaojiao looked at Dong Zhuo on the bed and said coquettishly.
Meng Gu nodded.
"Dad, why don't you speak?" Dong Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Well, that's right, Miss Dong. Last night, after Master Dong was drunk, he ran into Yongle Palace, forcibly kissed the Queen Mother, and was bitten by the Queen Mother...... Biting the tongue. It's inconvenient to talk right now. Lu Zhan interjected from the side.
When Meng Gu was worried about whether he could speak, he heard Lu Zhan say this, and hurriedly nodded vigorously.
"The Queen Mother is too ruthless, Dad, are you okay?"
"The Queen Mother is ruthless? Your father wants to rape people, and your father is even more ruthless. Lu Zhan stood behind her, looking at her round back, straight hips, and slender legs, and thought to himself.
Meng Gu shook his head, and a pair of eyes kept staring at Dong Jiaojiao with large breasts and a thin waist from top to bottom.
"Have you seen a doctor?" Dong Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Lu Zhandao.
"Look, the doctor said that he would be fine after a few days of rest. Miss Dong, we don't need to disturb Master Dong, he didn't sleep well last night, let him rest early. Lu Zhan replied.
Dong Jiaojiao nodded her head lightly, said "Dad, you have a good rest", and walked out of the bedroom with Lu Zhan.
"Hey, Miss Dong, I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I can't stand steadily, can you find a house for me to rest?" Lu Zhan rubbed his eyelids that were about to fight.
"Okay, you come with me." Dong Jiaojiao glanced down at him and said softly. (To be continued.) )
