In 192 AD, Dong Zhuo, who had been suspended for two years, shot again.

In the court, Dong Zhuo and his party were unscrupulous, on both sides of the stairs, there were hundreds of officials on one side, and all of them were occupied by Dong Zhuo and his henchmen.

"Qi Shengshang, Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, has done his best for the Han dynasty for many years, his loyalty can be learned, the ministers ask for the decree, His Majesty should be promoted to the official position of prime minister, Confucianism thinks that it is appropriate to crown the prime minister as the prince."

Li Ru stood at the foot of the stairs, leaned over to pay respects, and the words in his mouth suddenly shocked the court, and the ministers suddenly boiled, and the buzzing sound was chaotic. Liu Xie sat there, seemingly dumbfounded, his eyes kept sweeping over the court, and he saw that the ministers had different expressions, but no one dared to speak out against them, and he couldn't help but feel miserable in his heart.

"Accurate!" A hoarse voice rang out, and it was empty, not like the words of a young man.

Li Ru is used to it, his face is expressionless when he hears the words, everything is under his control, and there is nothing to be happy about.

"The saint can't, loyalty to the court is what the old minister should do, the old minister in his heart, the Han family is the most important, in the four hundred years of the government, there has never been a position of the Taishi, and the minister is ashamed." This time, it was Dong Zhuo's broken gong that roared, shaking the dome and trembling.

Liu Xie was disdainful in his heart: it was this set again, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face, and turned his head to look at Li Ru.

Li Ru bowed again: "Holy Lord, the prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, if he can't be rewarded, won't it chill the hearts of people all over the world?" The minister thought that the position of the prince was none other than the prime minister. ”

Liu Xie's eyes were deep, and the color of disdain was even stronger, and his eyes swept over the hundreds of officials in the court, and his eyes showed a mocking look: "Also, no one can be competent except for the prime minister, come to the people, and the decree is proposed, the prime minister has been for the country for many years, and his contributions are very heavy. ”

"The emperor has a decree ......" Liu Xie's side, a small yellow door came out, his voice was sharp, and he said a long way.

The ministers of the hundreds of officials, except for Dong Zhuo, immediately knelt on the ground.

"Dong Xiangguo has worked hard for the country for many years, and he has made great contributions, and now he is crowned as the prince of the dynasty, and he is admired for this."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be above the court, laughing, looking extremely arrogant.

Liu Xieqi's face turned blue, but he didn't dare to say more, and the government and government broke up unhappily.

Since then, Dong Zhuo has called himself "Shang Father", and he has used the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in and out, and later named his younger brother Dong Min as the general of the left and the marquis of Hu, and his nephew Dong Huang as the servant and the general leader of the forbidden army. The Dong clan, regardless of the eldest or younger, are all marquis, and even Dong Qing, who married Zhuge Jin, was also named a liehou, and the Dong family reached its peak.

Subsequently, 250 miles outside Chang'an City was selected to build a dock, and 250,000 people were served, and the momentum was huge.

At this time, three or two months have passed since Zhuge Jin went to the table, and on this day, in Dong Zhuo's mansion, Li Ru, who had been carefully rewarded, walked in again. Since Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, everything has been handed over to Li Ru to take care of, he only cares about lewd pleasures, does not want to forge ahead, and is also estranged from Li Ru a lot, if it is not for Zhuge Jin's matter this time, Dong Zhuo almost forgot about Li Ru.

"Taishi, Taishan has sent back the news, the third lady is fine, that Zhuge Jin is not a ruthless person, and it is rare to be kind to women. Now in Qingzhou, Zhuge Jin did not wait for the will of the imperial court, so he had already begun to integrate Qingxu and Xu. In the house, as soon as Li Ru sat down, he couldn't wait to tell what he knew.

"Hmph, Lone knows that all the princes in the world are the same, which one is not ambitious, then Liu Xie'er is just a child, if Lone is not suppressed here, how can the Han family continue." Dong Zhuo was disdainful, but he didn't forget to make some excuses for his actions.

"What the master said is very true." With no sadness or joy in his expression, Li Ru patted the horse slightly: "Taishi, at present, Zhuge Jin has become bigger, and it is not easy to suppress it at this time. ”

"Huh?" No matter how idiotic it was, Dong Zhuo also heard that there was something greasy in it, and with doubts in his expression, he glared at Li Ru and said, "Wen You has a plan?" ”

"The princes of the world are fighting, but for the sake of power and profit, when the princes of the Eighteen Roads united, it was for this. For example, today, the princes continue to die and rebirth, never cut off, our Xiliang army is powerful, and occupies a favorable geographical position, although the princes from all walks of life have conquests, but they are not very fierce, without him, but afraid of Taishier. ”

After a slight pause, he continued again: "Now that Zhuge Jin has quietly occupied Qingxu Erdi, the momentum has soared, and the Taishi can just use it to attract the attention of the princes. It was Confucianism who said that he would reward him in a big way, not only him, but also Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, although they were slaughtered by the Taishi, their prestige is unstoppable, Cao Cao is now also in the mix, and recently captured Hanzhong, the Taishi just took advantage of the situation to push the three of them, and the princes of the world will definitely be stimulated by the three, and the chaos is not far away. ”

Dong Zhuo lowered his head and thought carefully, but he raised his head a little unwillingly for a long time: "It's just that the three of them can get some favors for nothing, and they are really unwilling to be alone." ”

Li Ru was also a little speechless at this time, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, he had already mixed up as a court master, this little bit of small profit can also be seen in his eyes, for the first time in his life, Li Ru had doubts about his future path: "Don't worry, Taishi, this is Xiao Daoer, the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Taishi, isn't it Taishi who has the final say?" ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo thought about it, then nodded and said, "Just do this according to Wen You's wishes, and you don't have to report the orphan." ”

Dealing with Dong Zhuo all the year round, Li Ru heard this, and naturally knew that Dong Zhuo was already going to expel the guest, so he got up and said: "The Taishi will rest early, and Confucianism will go to prepare for this matter, if there is nothing to do, Confucianism will leave." ”

"Go ahead." Dong Zhuo waved his hand, asked Li Ru to retreat, and went to the back room by himself to have fun. The red sleeves are fragrant, the powder arms are snow-white, the wine pool is meaty, Dong Zhuo's life is not inferior to Liu Hong, the spiritual emperor.

Li Ru said goodbye and left, but the uneasiness in his heart was even more severe, and at this time, Li Ru gradually jumped out of the circle of Dong Zhuo's strategists. At night, Li Ru tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he got up and locked himself in the study, carefully recalled his life, and suddenly realized that he was not far from death.

For so many years, for Dong Zhuo, he has done bad things and offended countless people, and he has always built his life in his heart on the fact that Dong Zhuo can always rule, thinking of this, Li Ru was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Let's not talk about anything else, Dong Zhuo Wuhou alone can bury him Li Ru, and then thinking of today's situation, the situation in Li Ru's eyes gradually opened, and he was no longer limited to the word Dong Zhuo invincible, he only felt that he was hanging a three-foot sword on his head, and he was a little distracted for a while.

After all, it was until dawn, Li Ru left Chang'an and hurriedly went to Dong Zhuo's hometown, Lintao.

"Husband, why are you back?" In the courtyard of the old mansion, Li Ru's wife Dong greeted her, but asked suspiciously.

Li Ru waved his hand: "Let's not talk about these things first, has the old lady gotten up?" I have something important to see the old lady. ”

A little uneasiness rose in Dong's heart, but he replied peacefully: "Well, grandma just got up, and the concubine will take her husband over." ”
