Chapter 974: Minister, there is a doubt

There are many people in the main hall, all of whom occupy a position in the court, some are important, some are not so important, but they are always part of the composition of the court, including Cao Cao. Cao Cao was one of those humble components, his military exploits and his reputation in Luoyang for his uprightness, but nothing compared to those who had been in the court long enough.

Yuan Shao stood in a more advanced position, a few more positions than Cao Cao, just a few steps away, it seemed that he could cross it casually, but in fact this was a gap that could not be crossed in a short period of time.

His expression was serious, the same as the courtiers next to him, but there was an indescribable sense of ease. It feels, it feels like something is about to be obtained, like something is about to come true.

Yuan Shao glanced at Dong Zhuo not far away, and then withdrew his gaze, and the old god was staring at the back of another person in front of him.

At his age, there aren't many people in this position. Of course, the champion candidate, and those who have been favored by the emperor for various reasons are not on this list, compared to them, Yuan Shao thinks that he does not have the brave champion of the three armies like the champion Hou Huo Quai, nor the flattery of those fortunate ministers, turning his body into a part of the bargaining chips.

He is now a role model in the eyes of many, a man who wants to be. But, for him, all this is not enough, far from enough.

As the eldest son of the family of the third prince of the fourth world, he has a lot of resources behind him, but unfortunately, there is a concubine in front of this eldest son, he is a concubine, not a concubine. In the family, behind him, there is also a sister-in-law, Yuan Shu, who is eyeing him and wants to take away everything he has.

Even if there is no Yuan Shu, even if he is the eldest son, all of this is almost at the top, if it weren't for the fact that he was born in the family of the fourth world and the third duke, he might not have that opportunity to stand in this position.

Because of seniority, if you don't have enough qualifications, you are not qualified to occupy a place in the court. But what about having qualifications? No matter how qualified he is, he will only become one of the three dukes at most, and another third duke in the family, adding a sufficient reputation to the family of the fourth and third dukes.

He was unwilling, not unwilling to stand in the position of the third prince, but not enough. If it is possible, he wants to surpass the Three Princes and obtain a higher status and power than the Three Princes, so that when outsiders talk about the Yuan family, the first thing they will talk about is the name Yuan Shao, rather than always mentioning the Yuan family when Yuan Shao is mentioned.

If everything is uneventful and there is no turmoil, how can he achieve this goal?

Therefore, when he saw Dong Zhuo's ambition, he had no intention of stopping it, but was happy to see it come to fruition until now.

Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion to those brave people in the world, Dong Zhuo's next actions will also give him more opportunities, Yuan Shao has always believed in this and prepared for it.

He didn't know what kind of plan Dong Zhuo had and what kind of action he would take, but he couldn't turn the sky upside down.

This is Luoyang City, the capital of the world, with a part of the army brought by Dong Zhuo, let alone a rebellion. As long as he has the slightest inclination, he can mobilize the army to exterminate him at any time as the number one commander among the eight captains of the West Garden. Therefore, he always gave Dong Zhuo a chance, did not demolish him, and agreed when He Jin first wanted to transfer foreign ministers to Luoyang to eradicate the ten permanent servants, and vigorously promoted it.

Is he really so stupid that he doesn't know anything, can't he see the danger behind this move?

No!

There are only a few reasons, one is that it is impossible for him to change He Jin's mind, and the other is that without those foreign ministers, how can he have a chance? It's just that among the foreign ministers, there is only one Dong Zhuo now, and without Dong Zhuo, there may be other people, this is called fishing in a net, and a big fish has been fished.

Raising his head, Yuan Shao looked towards the side of the main hall, which was the passage that the emperor usually walked through to the court, but there was no movement yet.

Dong Zhuo didn't know that there was someone behind him crouching in the grass like a tiger hunting prey, waiting for the prey to gradually reveal its figure, or that he knew, at least he knew Cao Cao. But he doesn't care, these side matters don't need to be focused on all the details, the most important thing is to do the things in front of him.

His eyes lit up, and he saw one of the eunuchs who had come out of the passage first, walked near the entrance of the passage, and stopped to speak.

Here it comes.

"Pass the order down and prepare to close the palace gate." Liu Xuan watched as Empress Dowager Dong walked towards the main hall of the imperial hall in the palace, and only after the figure disappeared did he turn around and order to the deputy commander of the Yulin Army beside him.

"Commander, this... Why do you close the palace gates? The deputy commander of the Yulin Army was full of surprise and disbelief, he never thought that Liu Xuan would give such an order anyway.

Liu Xuan's right hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he said lightly: "For safety." ”

The deputy commander of the Yulin Army was still very puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't think about what Liu Xuan's mouth was for safety, so he continued to ask: "Security?" Could it be that there is something unsafe inside and outside the palace? ”

"You don't have to know here." Liu Xuan glanced at the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, his deputy, and his gaze randomly fell on the crowd on the street outside the palace wall near the side of the palace, and added: "In short, there can't be any accidents today, do you understand?" ”

It was just a casual glance, but it made the deputy commander's heart chill, and he recalled how ruthless Liu Xuan used to vigorously rectify the Yulin Army in the palace when he first took over the command of the Yulin Army.

There is no need for him to touch his head in this matter, anyway, the order was given by Liu Xuan, and there is a big top when the sky falls, so just act according to the order.

Thinking about this, the deputy commander clasped his fists and said: "Command!" ”

At this moment, in the palace hall, Liu Wei came slowly pacing, and beside him was his biological mother, Queen He.

Under the gaze of many ministers in the main hall, the two of them walked towards the throne, which symbolizes the supreme and most noble throne in the whole world.

When she walked down the steps, Queen He stopped and nodded lightly at Liu Bian, who walked up the steps step by step, layer by layer, and finally stood in that supreme position.

He turned around and faced the many ministers in the palace, his face was as heavy as water, and what he could see was majesty, but what he couldn't see was immaturity.

Although there are still a few immatures that belong to the teenager who are still entangled, this style has already made some ministers nod secretly.

On the other side, the eunuch unfolded the decree and was waiting to be read.

"Wait." At this moment, Dong Zhuo stood up and stopped with a full temperament.

He raised his head and continued to say the next sentence, "Minister, there are doubts. ”
