Is Dong Zhuo really dead? At least in Niu Fu's opinion, he is really dead, his body is placed here, and he is not like those famous generals in Valhalla, who turned into white light and disappeared after death, which shows that Dong Zhuo is really dead and has no chance to be resurrected!

Under the persuasion of the palace maid, Niu Fu fully realized that he had not yet become a person who could replace Dong Zhuo, although he once thought that he could be replaced.

After repeated measurements, Niu Fu knelt down to the Son of Heaven and decided to temporarily pledge allegiance to the Son of Heaven, first save his own life, Niu Fu's decision immediately ruined his hope that he might become a warlord, because there are too many smart people in Chang'an, they will not give Niu Fu another chance to grow, so those who dare not take risks cannot have a big harvest chapter.

Niu Fu cut off Dong Zhuo's head, opened the palace gate, and declared that he had been ordered to kill his relatives, beheaded the brutal and unscrupulous Dong Zhuo, and lifted the nightmare that had hung in the hearts of the people of Chang'an for several years.

The ministers outside the palace gate welcomed this and asked Niu Fu to try to stabilize the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.

It's just that the so-called trying to stabilize the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City is just to give everyone the opportunity to buy the generals under Niu Fu.

Niu Fu usually relies on Dong Zhuo's son-in-law as a prestige, in fact, it is not popular, and now Dong Zhuo's death is actually panicked, for fear of being liquidated, but at this time, those clans who don't look down on them on weekdays are coming. p> It dawned on these generals that their value was now very high. Don't take the opportunity to reap the benefits at this time, but wait for when.

As for the Son of Heaven, he is still in shock at the moment. For the ministers excited about the idea of the east and the opinion of the west, they were at a loss at all, Dong Zhuo used to preside over the government, although the Son of Heaven was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to show it, but he always hoped that he could really take power, but when it was really time for him to make up his mind, the Son of Heaven found out. It turns out that decision-making is such a difficult thing.

The same thing can be said differently from different people's mouths, and each one sounds very reasonable. This left is not right, and after discussing for a long time, the Son of Heaven did not make a decision, looking at the courtiers who were arguing in front of him. The Son of Heaven finally understood. I don't seem to be as smart and capable as I thought, so I should find someone who can come out.

I remember that the emperor once said that as long as you find capable people, let them do things, and it is the credit of the Son of Heaven to do a good job, and if you don't do it well, the ministers are not effective, and what the Son of Heaven wants to do is not to manage the affairs of the world, but to manage these capable ministers.

This moment. The Son of Heaven is enlightened! Finally took his first step as the Son of Heaven, and the most wrong one. Give the power to the competent! Actually, the emperor was talking about giving power to loyal fools, and then handing things over to capable people.

So who is the capable person in the eyes of the Son of Heaven? The most capable people are naturally Sima Fang and Lu Zhi, both of whom are well-known figures, and every time there is a court meeting, these two people have to perform the most things, deal with the most things, and handle things very well.

So the Son of Heaven cleared his throat and calmed down the messy noise, and then spoke: "Dong thief ambushed, now Chang'an City is in ruins, Yongzhou and Xiliang are even more unstable, I feel that the court should be stabilized first, and then all the people in the world can be stable, and the four realms will naturally subside." ”

"Your Majesty is very right, Your Majesty means"

"I think we should first reorganize the personnel and promote the meritocracy to defeat the thief party."

"Your Majesty is wise1

The ministers were overjoyed, obviously, the Son of Heaven finally thought of their merits, although they were embarrassed to say it just now, but there was also a hint that the Son of Heaven finally found out today, so everyone praised the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was secretly happy in his heart, and secretly said that his idea was really right, the first emperor was amazing!

"I thought that Sima Fang should be appointed as the Great Sikong, Lu Shangshushi, Yang Biao as Situ, Lu Shangshushi, Ma Riyan as Taifu and Lu Shangshushi, Lu Zhi as the former general, in charge of the Beijing Army, Niu Fu as the rear general, in charge of the Jingwei, and the others have their own rewards. In this way, everyone has their own responsibilities and does their best, and there is no need to argue endlessly. ”

The words of the Son of Heaven make everyone happy and worried, but no one can say anti-dialogue, this appointment and dismissal seems to be quite fair, and the Son of Heaven is indeed attentive, but in this way, Sima Fang and Lu Zhi seem to have picked up a big bargain, but now everything is undecided, and the armies outside the city have not yet landed, and everyone is not so cheeky. p> So this edict that seemed to select meritocracy was quickly implemented, and the power in the hands of the Son of Heaven was quickly handed over, and the Son of Heaven no longer had to worry about how to deal with those troublesome affairs, but at the same time, he also lost the opportunity to further seize power.

Sima Fang and Lu Zhi are both capable people, Yang Biao is a smart person, but he is relatively conservative and timid, Ma Riyan is already old, and the power fell into the hands of these four people, in fact, it finally fell into the hands of Sima Fang.

Sima Fang seized this opportunity, the first thing to do was to stand firmly with Lu Zhi, and then use his official position and money to buy the real power generals in Beijing, and the second thing was to discuss with Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others, so that the family could take out food to the imperial court, and the imperial court would use annual taxes and policies in exchange.

Secretly, Sima Fang sent his sons and capable subordinates to the various generals who led the troops outside, trying to persuade them to accept the leadership of Sima Fang and Lu Zhi, reunite together, and fight against the surrounding princes together.

Poor Niu Fu soon found that his troops began to disperse, many of the generals did not listen to the greetings, he invited everyone to come at home, but less than a third of the results came, it seems that the female assassin was right, he was not a man of the heroes at all, fortunately he chose to save his life, otherwise he would really die and the clan would be destroyed.

The next day, Chang'an City vigorously announced the news of Dong Zhuo's ambush, and the players suddenly exploded, but unfortunately, this earth-shattering thing was completed silently, and there was no movement in Chang'an City, which disappointed the players who originally thought that they could repeat the Luoyang Rebellion and take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Lu Zhi personally led the troops to maintain order on the streets, while Niu Fu firmly guarded the palace, and he now understood that only by holding the thighs of the Son of Heaven tightly could he continue to enjoy glory and wealth.

The news of Dong Zhuo's violent death spread at lightning speed, and at the same time, the edict of the Son of Heaven and a series of measures of the imperial court were conveyed to the outside world, the purpose of which was of course to calm the people's hearts and stabilize the place, but the effect was unknown.

"Father, you haven't rested for a day and a night."

Sima Yi, who was growing older, looked a little thin, and he put down the tea in his hand and reminded his father in a low voice.

"Where do you dare to rest at this time, a careless is a big mess, if you have nothing to do, just wait on the sidelines, and learn something."

"The child knows."

"Does your eldest brother have a letter?"

"Not yet, he should still be on his way."

Sima Fang put down the brush in his hand and looked up at the roof, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father, there's one person you seem to have forgotten."

"Who!?"

"Li Ru1

"I've already sent someone to Meixian County to search for Dong Zhuo's family property, if that's right, Li Ru"

"Father, Li Ru is very smart, it is estimated that he would have run away long ago when he saw that the wind was wrong, if he ran to Dong Zhuo's generals first, it would be troublesome to incite these generals to besiege Chang'an1

Sima Fang glanced at Sima Yi, shook his head and said: "Now there are two problems in Chang'an, one is food, and the other is the relationship between the military and the family, as long as you firmly grasp these two keys, even if Li Ru is capable, it will be difficult to fight against the general trend, Zhong Da, you are very smart, but you must focus on the overall situation, not stare at the details, the general trend is unstoppable, a really smart person is a person who can manipulate the situation 1."

Sima Yi lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then raised his head and said convincingly, "The child knows." ”

Li Ru, who was being talked about by Sima and his son, was now riding on a horse and galloping towards Tongguan, and earlier, he had already written to inform all Dong Zhuo's generals that Dong Zhuo was harmed by Niu Fu, and asked everyone to raise troops to Chang'an, as for the grain and grass needed to send troops, they could collect it on the spot.

He himself also went to Tongguan, wanted to join Huaxiong, and then instigated Huaxiong to counterattack Tongguan, the worst of all, but also to open the road from Tongguan to Chang'an, so that the Kwantung clan took advantage of the void, and now Li Ru is not thinking about whether he can inherit Dong Zhuo's career, but how to avenge Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru's letter arrived earlier than Sima Fang and Lu Zhi's, and it was more than half a day faster than the imperial court's edict, which was enough time for the generals scattered in various places to respond.

In the letter, Li Ru tried his best to intimidate, and alarmistly described to everyone the terrorist purge that the world would carry out, and these frightened generals immediately followed Li Ru's words, looting the food of the world tribe everywhere, and then gathered troops to prepare for Chang'an, trying to regain control of the Son of Heaven.

When they received Sima Fang Lu Zhi's letter, they hesitated a little, but the order to loot had been issued, the bad things had been done, and now it was too late to regret it, so they realized what Li Ru had asked them to loot grain for.

Although the edict that arrived later made them understand the sincerity of the imperial court, they had already robbed the food of the clan and killed the people of the clan, so could this edict still work at this time?

In this case, everyone has their own ideas, some people decide not to do anything, immediately raise troops into Beijing, if they want to make a mistake, they will make a mistake to the end, and some people hesitate, just gather troops and wait and see, hoping to see the reaction of the imperial court.

Among them, the most resolute preparation for the attack on Chang'an was naturally Dong Min, followed by Li Dao, Zhang Ji, and Hu Zhen, while Guo Yan, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan, Li Meng, Li Su, and Hua Xiong were all on the sidelines. To be continued...
