Chapter 175: The Ministers' Deliberations

As soon as Lu Zhi died, there was no opposition in the court, Dong Zhuo held the sword in his hand, stood in the hall, and the murderous aura suddenly filled the entire court, and the dead party of Dong Zhuo, such as Li Ru, Dong Wen, Guo Yan, and Zhang Xiu, also looked around at the ministers, Wang Yun saw that Dong Zhuo was powerful, and if he admonished again, he could only bring about his own destruction, so he did not speak, and the other ministers saw that Wang Yun did not speak, so they were also silent.

Dong Zhuo said to Emperor Xian at this time: "What is your majesty's opinion?" ”

Emperor Han Xian saw that there was no opposition above the court, and saw Dong Zhuo's sword in his hand, Dong Zhuo's generals also looked at him angrily, and he already understood the seven points, so he trembled and said: "It is appropriate for the Taishi to take on this position!" ”

As a 12-year-old child, Emperor Han Xian, if you want to say that you are not afraid of this kind of scene, it is nonsense, but smart people are often "people who know the times" and are good at changing.

Dong Zhuo didn't feel that he laughed after hearing this, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, with mixed feelings, some were happy, some were happy, some were uncomfortable, some were angry, some had solemn expressions, and some were happy on their faces, and many faces appeared in the entire court

Dong Zhuo became the king of Yi this time as he wished, and he became even more unscrupulous, and now Dong Zhuo has become the king all of a sudden, this is the master of all things, and the power is naturally at the peak, not only in charge of all government affairs and military affairs, but also the appointment and dismissal of personnel, all the appointments and dismissals of the top and bottom of the court are all his Dong Zhuo's "pen", with the expansion of power, Dong Zhuo's style of life has become more erosive, and he occupies the entire harem. is still collecting women from good families in the people, and they have to ask all of them to be virgins. Now Dong Zhuo is a groom every night, breaking places for girls every day. Dong Zhuo's temperament also became more brutal and unkind, he began to collect money frantically, not only exploiting the local rich businessmen, but also increasing taxes on the people, the people in Luoyang area were miserable, and the always prosperous industry and commerce suddenly entered a trough.

Dong Zhuo wantonly scraped the people's fat and ointment and continued to collect money to build the dock, this palace is several times larger than the scale of Yong'an Palace, and the investment of people, financial and material resources is even more amazing, the goal of this palace is to create the scale of the first palace in Luoyang. To be far larger than the scale of the various palaces built in Luoyang before, the labor force is all free of charge for volunteers, the people are miserable, full of complaints, Dong Zhuo saw this and ordered his subordinates to kill anyone who is not satisfied, and soon the construction site became a place of execution, and people were constantly killed.

Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior quickly aroused public anger among the people, but because of Dong Zhuo's power, the people had nothing to do with him. Dissatisfied but unable to do anything, not only among the people, Dong Zhuo also tried his best to exclude dissidents in the palace and clear his opposites. There are constantly ministers who have been executed by Dong Zhuo on "trumped-up" charges because of their relationship with Dong Zhuo. The whole court was rectified by Dong Zhuo, everyone was in danger, and the people's hearts were not in order, especially the royal family and nobles were extra careful. I didn't even dare to make a loud noise.

Dong Zhuo's arrogant actions, such a brutal nature. It soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China, especially Wang Yun, who was originally a person who was worried about the country and the people. Now in the face of Dong Zhuo's actions, he was really anxious, Wang Yun secretly convened all the ministers to discuss countermeasures, Taiwei Yang Biao, uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Sima Yan, Youzhonglang Zhu Jun and others were quickly gathered together, and several ministers of the court gathered to discuss

Wang Yun said to everyone: "At present, Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to establish himself as the king, full of evil, full of crimes, executing important ministers of the court without authorization, causing chaos in the harem, ruining the people, the government is not in order, the society is not blessed, the country is in danger of exhaustion, and the people of Li are in urgent need of suffering. ”

Uncle Dong Cheng first said: "Wang Situ's feelings of worrying about the country and the people are respectable, but Dong Thief's strength is too great, and his wings are already full, and the whole court and the army are his sworn friends, it is not easy to get rid of him. ”

Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang, heard this, and said: "It's not always a way to fight the enemy, and now there is no force that can match Dong Zhuo, if you want to eliminate Dong Zhuofei and open up the joints inside!" ”

Wang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Lord Zhu means to disintegrate within Dong Zhuo?" ”

"Exactly! Disintegrate Dong Zhuo's army internally, make his army defect or let his generals fall apart and split, and then things will be easy! Zhu Jun continued.

Wang Yun continued: "Does Lord Zhu have any feasible strategies? Where do we start? ”

Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I have pondered this matter for a long time, as a veteran who has been in the campaign for many years, I still know about Dong Zhuo's army, and the generals under him have also had a lot of contact, this battle of Tiger Prison Pass, many generals have been vigorously promoted by Dong Zhuo, especially that Guan Yu, this person was named a general, this person is the person Dong Zhuo relies on, Dong Zhuo can have today is also the result of this person's hard work for him, I once had a relationship with this person, this Guan Yu is a celebrity in front of Dong Zhuo, However, according to my opinion, his situation this time is not very good, he is a general in name only, although the position and rank are superior, but he is very limited in terms of real power, now he does not have any soldiers and horses and transfer rights, all the power of soldiers and horses after the war is attributed to Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Wen, and he Guan Yu is only the first military commander during the war, he Guan Yu is a smart person will not understand the power, he is a general who has been set up in the air can balance his heart? After my careful observation, this young man is by no means a person who is willing to be left behind, he has come to this position at such an age, this person must be a self-motivated person, when he conscripted the Yellow Turban, he was optimistic about the future of this young man, and made great achievements for Dong Zhuo but the power was lost, Dong Zhuo handed over the power to his relatives and put his love in the air, how can his love talk about psychology can get by, so we can choose to open a gap in him! ”

Taiwei Yang Biao continued: "What Lord Zhu said is reasonable, according to my observation, this Guan Yu is very different from the other generals under Dong Zhuo, most of the other generals are corrupt and degenerate people, living a life of drinking and drinking, and there are many disturbers of the people, and their master Dong Zhuo's life style is very similar, but this Guan Yu is an exception, Guan Yu's life has always been rigorous, he has no offense with Minqiu, his life style is very simple, and he is also very modest, I even doubt whether this kid is Dong Zhuo's person, it is simply the opposite of Dong Zhuo!" ”

That's right, this shows even more that he and Dong Zhuo are not all the way at all, they don't conspire with each other, although Guan Yu works for Dong Zhuo, what is he pursuing? High-ranking officials or gold and silver treasures? If it is the former, he is now promoted to the rank of general, but he has no real power, and if it is the latter, then it is even more invisible, there is no indication that he likes material wealth! Taifu Ma Ridan also spoke.

Wang Yun listened to everyone's speeches and said: "No matter what kind of person Guan Yu is, as long as he can be used by me in the future, it is the strength that we can try our best to win over!" ”

Dong Cheng said pessimistically: "If you pin your hopes on a general who has no real power, how can you succeed in a big thing?" ”

"Not so! You underestimate Guan Yu's strength, Guan Yu, as Dong Zhuo's favorite general, has followed Dong Zhuo for more than ten years, has many military exploits, and also takes on the important task of training soldiers, often presides over military meetings, don't look at his young age as a permanent commander, his status and connections in the army should not be underestimated, even now when the power is down, he still has many henchmen who have military power, and some of Dong Zhuo's generals have good friendships, don't look at his usual absence, But his influence in the army is not small, but Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Wen can't compare with him, don't look at him in power! Zhu Jun analyzed.

Dong Cheng was shocked when he heard this: "When you say this, he is still a sperm, why can't I see it?" ”

Zhu Jun continued: "Uncle Guo has never been mixed in the army, I don't know anything about the army, I have been in the army for many years, the most important thing in this army is the military heart, the military heart is not firmly shaken, Guan Yu's energy must not be underestimated, it is the only strength we can rely on!" ”

"What Master Zhu said is not unreasonable, but at the moment, I don't see that this Guan Yu has the slightest intention of supporting us, he has been present several times when Dong Zhuo has abolished the establishment, I see that he is mediocre and does not feel any loyal ministers at all!" Situ Wang Yun continued.

Zhu Jun heard this and said, "That's why we need to drag him over!" ”

"How to drag? You must know that he is Dong Zhuo's love for many years, and he will not betray Dong Zhuo at all as a last resort~! Taiwei Yang Biao continued.

Taifu Ma Ridan said: "The most important thing now is not to be sure of Guan Yu's mind, knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, we need to understand his inner thoughts first, and then make a strategy, if his heart is still on Dong Zhuo's side, wouldn't it be self-defeating for us to win him over, and it will hurt ourselves if it is self-defeating!" ”

"Matthew has a point! Let's guess like this, we have to explore his reality first! Uncle Dong Chengdao.

Zhu Jun heard this and said: "I'll deal with this matter, I have had a friend with Guan Yu, I'll have a banquet for him first, and let's find out, how about Lord Wang as a companion?" Zhu Jun said as he looked around at Wang Yun.

Wang Yun quickly came to his senses and said, "In this way, it's best for me to get in touch with this person and see who he is?" (To be continued.) )
