Chapter 231: The Jade Seal of the Country
Yongzhou
Xiangguo Mansion
Li Ru smiled bitterly and asked Dong Zhuo: "Is it true that the lord wrote that letter to Yuan Shu for the sake of passing on the jade seal of the country?" ”
A long time ago, Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo say that Sun Jian's death was because of the jade seal of the country, and now Dong Zhuo wrote such a letter to Yuan Shu, obviously the jade seal of the country has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu.
As for how Dong Zhuo knew clearly, of course Li Ru would not ask.
It was only when Dong Zhuo wrote a letter and sent someone to Yuan Shu that he told Li Ru about it, because this matter could not be concealed after all, and if Yuan Shu had any reply or response later, Dong Zhuo still needed Li Ru's help to analyze it.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo has some other ideas that he wants to confirm.
When Li Ru learned what Dong Zhuo wrote, he didn't know what it was like.
What's wrong with my own lord, why did he suddenly swell.
Write a letter to explicitly threaten the princes of one side?!
Isn't this nothing to look for, with the current situation of the Han Dynasty, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, Li Ruzhi feels that his lord has suddenly lost his mind again!
However, the wood is already in the boat, and Li Ru has no way, and he doesn't want to bother to guess what Dong Zhuo thinks.
So Li Ru asked directly.
However, Dong Zhuo, who was at the top, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then slowly spoke: "Of course, it is not for the sake of passing on the jade seal of the country, Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to Yuan Shu." ”
"This ......"
"This ......" Li Ru couldn't speak, and finally turned into a long sigh, "Alas! Lord, this is a bit ......"
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru in surprise, "Wen You, do you think Dong Zhuo is doing something wrong?!" ”
Li Ru wanted to say, "Yes." "That's not right!"
"It's not right, it's stupid!"
But obviously he wouldn't say that, how to say that Dong Zhuo is also the master, and he is just a subordinate.
Li Ru pondered for a moment and said softly, "Confucianism feels that something is wrong. ”
"Hahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed out loud and waved his hand, "Dong knows that Wen You must feel that what Dong did is wrong." ”
"Maybe I'm still scolding Dong in my heart now."
Li Ru's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended: "Lord, Confucianism has no such heart, no such heart!" ”
"Huh." Dong Zhuo chuckled and said, "Dong is just talking, why should Wen You take it seriously." ”
"Alas!"
"Wen You, Dong Mou and ask you, the heirloom jade seal is in Yuan Shu's hands, what should I do if I want to take it back?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, Li Ru was instantly stunned.
When he learned that Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to Yuan Shu and threatened Yuan Shu to let Yuan Shu hand over the jade seal of the country, his first reaction was that Dong Zhuo had done something wrong.
But when Dong Zhuo asked now, Li Ru also reacted.
Now that the jade seal of the country is in Yuan Shu's hands, how can he get it back?!
"The heirloom jade seal, it's just such a big piece of jade, if Yuan Shu hides it, you can't find it if you want to."
"Could it be that you sent troops to fight Yuan Shu, and then snatched the jade seal back from Yuan Shu's hands?! How did the jade seal end up in a corner back then, didn't Wen You know? At this time, Dong Zhuo's words slowly came into Li Ru's ears.
Dong Zhuo said that the lack of a corner of the jade seal of the country happened when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
Wang Mang was powerful at the time, and it is said that on the eve of his usurpation of the Han Dynasty, he entered the harem to see his aunt Queen Mother, and first informed the emperor of his intention to stand on his own and replace him.
Then he said kind words and comforted him, and asked the Queen Mother to hand over the jade seal, but the Queen Mother did not comply, so he forced him with violence.
In the end, although the queen mother compromised, she still angrily threw the jade seal, and the jade seal was broken into a corner.
In this way, the jade seal of the country was shattered.
Since you can break a corner, you may not know when it will be all broken.
What Dong Zhuo meant Li Ru understood that Dong Zhuo wrote a letter threatening Yuan Shu and asked Yuan Shu to take the initiative to give the jade seal, which seemed very reckless, but it was actually the best way.
You're going to steal?!
That jade seal is so easy to steal?
Are you going to rob it?
Won't Yuan Shu run?! What if the jade is burned in the end?
No way.
It's better to threaten, maybe Yuan Shu really handed over the jade seal.
Li Ru was told a few words by Dong Zhuo, and found that if it was to get back the jade seal, Dong Zhuo's method seemed to be the best.
Li Ru brushed his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Then why did the lord think of asking Yuan Shu to ask for the jade seal of the country now?!" Could it be that the lord is preparing to use this as an excuse to send troops to attack Yuan Shu?! ”
"If the lord thinks like this, Confucianism thinks that it is absolutely impossible, but now Yizhou has been decided, and the lord has implemented a series of new policies, and he should recuperate."
"If you use the sword soldiers now, maybe you will lose both, and all the good things in the early stage will be buried."
Dong Zhuo pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Wen You is worried. ”
"The reason why Dong is looking for Yuan Shu to ask for the jade seal of the country is just because the situation is good now, so he took this opportunity to rob the country."
"No, it's not to rob while it's hot, it's to chase after victory."
Li Ru: ......
"The lord really has no plans to send troops to Yuzhou?!" Li Ruhu was suspicious.
Dong Zhuo shook his head and affirmed, "Definitely." ”
When Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo say this, he had to believe him.
At this time, I only heard Li Ru hesitate and said: "Lord, Confucianism has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Originally, I was looking for excellent texts, just to check and fill in the gaps, since I have something to say, why bother to swallow and spit out." ”
Li Ru paused, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Confucianism thinks that it is okay to pass on the jade seal of the country." ”
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Dong Zhuo's fingers tapped on the coffee table, as if knocking on Li Ru's heart, Li Ru's face did not change, but his heart was tight.
After half a ring, Dong Zhuo's faint voice came, "The jade seal of the country is a symbol of orthodoxy, why not?" ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes swept over Li Ru, Li Ru raised his throat in his heart, swallowed his throat unconsciously, and then said: "Back to the lord, now that Your Majesty is in an orthodox position, why do you need to pass on the jade seal of the country to prove it." ”
"Because of this, Confucianism thinks that the jade seal of the country is not to be wanted, if it insists on doing so, I am afraid that there will be another branch."
"Huh." Dong Zhuo smiled, "So that's the case." ”
"Dong thought it was because of something else......"
When Li Ru heard this, he trembled and swallowed his saliva.
Dong Zhuo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Wen You, how do you think Yuan Shu will deal with it?!" ”
"Will you obediently present the jade seal of the country?!"
Li Ru sank his heart, dispelled the previous thoughts in his mind, and began to think about Dong Zhuo's question.
After a while, Li Ru shook his head and hesitated: "Back to the lord, this Confucian can't hold it, but Confucianism feels that it is very likely that Yuan Shu will return the jade seal." ”
"After all, the jade seal is in the head hand, and it is useless."
"Unless he wants to be emperor! But with the presence of the lord, if he is the emperor, he will definitely fall into a situation from which he will never recover. ”
"Therefore, Confucianism felt that it was very likely that he would return the jade seal."
