Chapter Eighty-Eight: Wooing Yuan Shu

He did this for four purposes:

First, in order to highlight his authority, the emperor was deposed by Dong Zhuo, so as to show that the real power of the princes in the world is in his own hands.

2. Deter the old ministry loyal to the Han family, so that they dare not say more, and use this to eradicate the old forces.

3. The puppet set up by oneself is easier to control.

Fourth, having prestige, being smart and studious, etc. are just excuses for abolishing the emperor that Dong Zhuo came up with (just an excuse, and Dong Zhuo has no qualifications to abolish the emperor at all), and he can't abolish the emperor for no reason. No matter how smart Chen Liuwang is, after all, he is just a child, and Dong Zhuo doesn't take him seriously at all.

It is based on the above four points that Dong Zhuo weighed and repeatedly decided to abolish the establishment, because he is a traitor by nature, he doesn't want to be a loyal minister, he doesn't want to be a good person, he is a pure villain in his bones, but at this time the wicked man has reached the peak of power, this is a terrible combination, when these two things are intertwined, it is bound to cause trouble in the world, danger will follow, and disaster is about to be staged.

Dong Zhuo made up his mind and found Li Ru to discuss the matter, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "If the lord wants to abolish the establishment, he needs to unite with the people with real power in the imperial court. ”

"Wenyou's plan is exactly what I want! Who, then, shall we unite? Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru pondered for a while, and said to Dong Zhuo: "At present, only the Yuan clan is the most suitable!" ”

"You mean Yuan Shao?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Yuan Shao is upright and courageous, and has always been loyal to the imperial court, and he is afraid that he will oppose the abolition of the establishment, and he will not be with us! But his younger brother Yuan Shu is erratic and cunning, and he is the one who is used by me! The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the protégés are all over the universe, and the protégés and former officials are in important positions in the court, and their prestige is great, if they can get their help, the lord can do great things! Li Ru analyzed.

Dong Zhuo then asked, "What is Yuan Shu's current position?" ”

"Now he is the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General (Zheng Sanpin)!" Li Ru replied.

Dong Zhuo then said: "Summoning Yuan Shu on the same day, I'll talk to him!" ”

Keri Yuan Shu came to the Yong'an Palace where Dong Zhuo was ready, at this time Yuan Shu was over thirty years old, a few years older than Guan Yu, with his own prominent background of the fourth and third princes to sit on the throne of the general of the three products of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, Yuan Shu is feminine and cunning, cunning, narrow-minded, jealous, but righteous, paranoid and good steel.

Yuan Shu pondered as he walked, wondering what was Dong Zhuo looking for him? To be honest, he didn't welcome Dong Zhuo's arrival, especially when Dong Zhuo was so domineering and sat in Luoyang, which caused Yuan Shu's disgust, in Yuan Shu's eyes, he looked down on Dong Zhuo, what is he? Dare to be so domineering, no background, never mixed in the court, at most only a few victories, and now he is so arrogant, and he can be regarded as a prominent family background!

Although this is due to Dong Zhuo's strong power, Yuan Shu still came, he wanted to see what medicine was sold in this kid's gourd, and came to Yong'an Palace, Dong Zhuo gave a warm reception to Yuan Shu's arrival, seeing Yuan Shu was like seeing a relative, and arranged for Yuan Shu to sit down, Yuan Shu's reception of Dong Zhuo was natural, and he sat down naturally

Dong Zhuo saw Yuan Shu sitting still and said, "Highway! You and I have also had dealings, we have had a one-sided friendship, this time you and I are officials in the same court, and you should try your best to assist Your Majesty! ”

"Dong Tingshi is reasonable! Dong Tingshi was summoned to suppress the thieves by King Qin, and the highway was very welcome. Yuan Shu said humbly. …,
