Chapter 4: The Son of Heaven Recovers

On February 15 of the third year of Chuping, Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, was seriously ill and stretched on the bed for many days.

This is an epidemic, and many people in Chang'an City have been infected, even Dong Zhuo's confidant Li Ru is no exception.

It wasn't until more than ten days later, when the epidemic was brought under control, that many people improved slightly.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, finally recovered under the careful care of the imperial doctor.

According to custom, civil and military officials need to meet the Son of Heaven in person to show their blessings.

The news of the Son of Heaven's recovery from a serious illness was conveyed to Dong Zhuo by Situ Wang Yun in person to Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion.

Of course, before Wang Yun conveyed the news, Dong Zhuo had already received the news that he had sent to the little emperor's side. Since the news is true, Dong Zhuo has no reason to refuse to go, and Dong Zhuo is now the head of a hundred officials, there is a way that a snake cannot be without a leader, and this kind of big scene is extremely inappropriate if Dong Zhuo is not present.

Dong Zhuo did not suspect him after receiving Wang Yun's notice, so he happily went, but before leaving, he still remembered his son Dong Shouye's entrustment, and kept Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji by his side, and let Lu Bu also serve with him.

Lu Bu had a good appearance during this time, he loyally followed Dong Zhuo's side, serving before and after the saddle, and because of Dong Shouye's unexpected appearance, Dong Zhuo's temper was far less irritable than in history, so the use of a halberd to attack Lu Bu did not appear. Dong Zhuo is also extremely able to win over Lu Bu, and he appeases him well, and on the surface, the relationship between the two is extremely harmonious.

The current Lu Bu can be said to be a high power, and the Bingzhou Legion in charge of him has not been excluded in the Xiliang lineage, of course, this is not to say that there is no xenophobia within the Xiliang Army or that Lu Bu has been completely accepted, but because Dong Shouye has risen like a comet and attracted the attention of most people.

Many people are paying attention to Dong Shouye's appearance, speculating when Dong Shouye will be in charge of the Xiliang Army, and when Dong Shouye will officially establish his own team. Although Dong Shouye has also attracted a lot of talents now, it is far from the time to formally establish his own team.

In this era, in a general sense, the opening of the government is the time to establish a team to recruit talents, such as Yuan Shao, who led his own car and rode the general, and opened the government before his strength skyrocketed. Immediately after the opening of the General Palace, a large number of talents were put under his command.

The people in the Xiliang Army hoped that when Dong Shouye opened the Shogunate, he would be able to join the Shogunate and become its core team. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Dong Zhuo is already old, and the Xiliang Army will be handed over to Dong Shouye sooner or later. No matter who the generals of the Western Liang Army joined Dong Shouye's shogunate, it was beneficial to his future development and to his stable position in the Western Liang Army.

Therefore, many people are paying attention to Dong Shouye and holding such and such thoughts about Dong Shouye, but they pay almost little attention to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu sometimes has a feeling of being neglected, and of course, this qiē is also a good thing for him, that is, he can avoid the internal turmoil of the Western Liang Army for a period of time and enjoy a period of peace.

Lu Bu also knew that one day he would also face a choice, that is, whether to throw himself into his brother-in-law Dong Shouye.

This is not a simple question, Lu Bu has been thinking about it, but it has been fruitless.

Lu Bu is not alone, there are tens of thousands of horses in the Bingzhou army behind him, and one of his decisions will affect the life and death of these tens of thousands of people.

Dong Shouye is not Dong Zhuo, what Dong Zhuo can give to Lu Bu, Dong Shouye may not be able to give.

Therefore, Lu Bu did not dare to make a decision lightly.

On this day, the sun was shining and the weather was good.

Just as Dong Zhuo was in his mood, he had already learned that his son Dong Shouye was doing well in Hanyang County, thwarted the attack of Han Sui and Ma Teng, and successfully pacified the two, so that the two of them each led their troops back to their respective stations.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think at this time, since his son was so good, should he hand over the foundation in his hand to Dong Shouye in advance, of course, this was just a thought.

The time is not yet ripe, although the current Dong Shouye has made achievements in sergeant, but compared to Dong Zhuo, he still has experience and has too much to learn; If you talk about politics, it's even worse.

As a father, Dong Zhuo hopes that Dong Shouye can get more training.

Dong Zhuo has been on guard against Wang Yun during the period after Dong Shouye left, and he doesn't trust him as much as before, and as he stays in power for a longer time, more and more people will join him and use it for his purposes.

This is the case with politics, there are not too many evergreens, more wall grass.

The successive victories of his son Dong Shouye in Luoyang and Xiliang, and some military achievements, expanded the prestige and influence of the Xiliang army, making Dong Zhuo's control of the situation stronger and stronger.

Military is an extension of politics, and most military victories can bring about political victories, which is extremely common, and it is also very effective when it comes to Dong Zhuo's father and son.

The rise of a powerful military group will inevitably have people attached to it, after all, the world is so big, there are too many people who are unwilling, and there are too many people who want to get ahead.

As more and more people fall to Dong Zhuo, there are more and more choices for Dong Zhuo. At this time, Wang Yun's position is becoming more and more unstable, as long as Dong Zhuo is willing, he can pick someone to replace Wang Yun at any time. Even among the big families in the same camp as Wang Yun, as long as Dong Zhuo is willing, there will be someone willing to take Wang Yun's place.

Although there are not many people who can replace Wang Yun in this way, and his ability is not as strong as Wang Yun, after all, there is a choice. And the room for choice will become more and more with the military strength of the Xiliang Army.

Wang Yun suddenly felt that his position was becoming more and more threatened.

The threat comes not only from Dong Zhuo's gradual alienation, but also from the vague transformation of allies, and sometimes a slight change means betrayal.

Wang Yun has had ups and downs in his life and has experienced too many betrayals.

Therefore, Wang Yun wanted to fight back.

Wang Yun decided that Dong Zhuo would change from the original superficial cooperation to direct confrontation, and he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo.

Loyalty to the Han is the reason why Wang Yun chose to kill Dong Zhuo, but it is absolutely impossible to be the fundamental reason, the people who claim to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty are all on the border, why didn't they see them kill Dong Zhuo one by one?

The most fundamental reason is that Dong Zhuo has touched his fundamental interests, or that Dong Zhuo is about to touch his fundamental interests.

Wang Yun boasted that he had a good mind, but he didn't have a knife in his hand.

How can you kill without a knife?

Wang Yun took a fancy to one of the sharpest knives in the world, and he believed that as long as he had this knife in his hand, his certainty of killing Dong Zhuo would be greatly improved.

This knife is Lu Bu, the world's number one general.

Wang Yun has a good mind, and his methods are also good.

He succeeded in reversing Lü Buze.
