Li Dao and Jia Xu returned to Luoyang and reported Liu Jian's situation to Dong Zhuoyu.

Li Dao thought that Dong Zhuo would blame him in the name of returning in vain, but the fact is that Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, just nodded very indifferently and said: "The old man knows, he is tired of this trip, and he will go to rest, and after the old man has planned, he will make a final conclusion." ”

Li Wei retreated with gratitude and guilt, and Jia Xu also walked out with him.

But before he could leave the hall, he heard Dong Zhuo stop him: "Wen is gentle and slow, the old man has something to ask you." ”

Jia Xu naturally understood that Dong Zhuo wanted to ask for information about Liu Jian when he kept him.

He immediately received the order and stayed in the hall.

Dong Zhuo shook his sleeves and said, "Wenhe, in your opinion, what does Liu Jian mean by this?" ”

Jia Xu said very calmly: "Sikong is self-evident in his heart. ”

"Hahaha, yes, the old man understands, the old man just wants to ask you."

Jia Xu said: "It's nothing more than waiting to see what happens." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and said: "Yes, wait and see what happens, this son is very calm, to be honest, the old man can sometimes see through him, but sometimes he can't see through him, but in his heart, Liu Jian has always been the old man's nobleman, when he did the history of the state assassination, this person was responding to the old man's dream, it was actually the golden swallow that helped the old man build a nest, it is strange to say, since he met this person, the old man has always been smooth sailing, and his career is very smooth. ”

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo babbled about the events that had happened between him and Liu Jian over the years.

Jia Xu just listened carefully and did not open his mouth to comment.

It's just that when Dong Zhuo says that he is tired, he will answer with an "oh", or suddenly nod and say, "Yes, yes." ”

Dong Zhuo is also older, almost sixty years old, and his personality and blood are much softer than when he was young.

Of course, he was a fierce and violent man by nature.

The elderly Dong Zhuoxu muttered to Jia Xu, and his mouth was dry, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

After finishing speaking, he saw Dong Zhuo sighing comfortably, and his face was quite comfortable.

When people get older, they like to talk to people, and no matter who this person is, as long as they can let themselves say what is held in their chests, it is good.

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Jia Xu was still silent, just nodding vigorously.

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "The old man said this to you, but it doesn't mean anything else, just to let you know what kind of person Liu Deran is, this kid, don't look young, that mind is no less than the old man, and this person is the same as the old man, he is also ambitious, so the old man has to be cautious about him." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "According to the last official, Liu Deran is quietly watching the affairs in Beijing, it is not that he intends to be an enemy of Sikong, Liu Deran is a person who will not easily wait to be an enemy of others, he should be waiting for the attitude of another group of people." ”

The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth hung a little smile: "The Yuan family, right?" Haha, the old man understands in his heart. ”

Jia Xu said: "According to the last official, Liu Deran will definitely not take action in the short term, Sikong Da does not need to worry too much, just take care of the affairs in Beijing, as long as Sikong can control the situation in the court, let Liu Deran see that Sikong can completely control Luoyang, then Liu Jian will naturally know the difficulty and retreat." ”

Dong Zhuo slowly stood up and said, "Yes, it's time for the old man, it's time to go and see the old man of the Yuan family." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "It's empty and slow! There is one more important matter at the moment, and Sikong needs to make a decision early. ”

"What?"

"The ministers of the Luoyang Dynasty, the people in the party, are all famous people who have been famous for a long time, even if Sikong recruits them into the government, I am afraid that there may not be anyone who sincerely serves Sikong, according to the last official, Sikong is not short of elite soldiers and fierce generals, but there is a lack of henchmen and wise people."

Dong Zhuo pointed at Jia Xu and said, "Confidant strategist, aren't you?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "After all, the last official was born in Liangzhou, with shallow knowledge, and little understanding of the Kanto families. ”

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and said: "Although the old man has the intention to accept the world's talents for his own use, how can the Kanto clan despise the old man's background, and the old man doesn't know how to do it now." ”

Jia Xu said: "The secretary of state and the high gate, it may be difficult to collect it for his own use for a while, but it does not mean that all the scholars in Luoyang are evil in Sikong, like the three offices, those Lang officials who have no roots in the capital, and have been floating for several years and cannot be delegated, are not exactly the objects that Sikong needs to accept, and the doctors in Taixue, who have no power, if they are allowed to make heavy profits, they may not be used by Sikong." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "In this case, how about the old man hand over this matter to you?" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "The last official can't do it, the last official has a lonely temperament, and he can only move his mouth in front of Sikong, if he asks the last official to recruit talents for Sikong, I am afraid that Sikong will be disappointed." ”

Dong Zhuo has probably figured out Jia Xu's context since he conquered Jia Xu, and he immediately said: "In this case, this matter will be handed over to Niu Fu to handle, you can assist from the side, just mention him more." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "The last official leads the order of Sikong. ”

Out of Dong Zhuo's mansion, Jia Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.

The matter of recruiting staff for Dong Zhuo has to be implemented quickly, and see if there are suitable people for these scholar groups in Luoyang City, who can be recommended to Dong Zhuo as his subordinates.

In this way, he can slowly pull himself out of the front-line strategists under Dong Zhuo.

Jia Xu felt that he could see the opportunity and give Dong Zhuo appropriate advice...... But being questioned for such a long time is not of much benefit to Jia Xu himself.

……

……

Two days later, Dong Zhuo ordered someone to send a famous assassin to Yuan Kui's mansion and go to the mansion in person.

If it was replaced by Dong Zhuo or Yuan Kui as his former official, the Yuan family could be said to be calling him to come and go, but now the situation has changed, Dong Sikong has a heavy army, forcibly occupies the Taicang arsenal by force, and controls the armament of the entire Luoyang City, Yuan Kui and others want to see the Son of Heaven, and it is not easy to change.

At this time, Dong Zhuo wanted to come to Yuan's house to worship, but Yuan Kui could only let him come, and it was difficult to refuse.

Hearing that Dong Zhuo was coming to Yuan's house, Yuan Ji also came to accompany him and greeted Dong Zhuo with his uncle Yuan Kui.

After seeing Yuan Ji, Yuan Kui's face showed a rare look of guilt.

"It is my fault that I regret not listening to the words of Shiji, and even that I have today's calamity."

Yuan Ji hurriedly comforted Yuan Kui and said: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, I didn't think of Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition, otherwise I should be on guard as soon as possible, no wonder uncle is this matter." ”

"I don't know why he came to my mansion today?"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, whatever his purpose is, let's just continue to move." Yuan Ji affirmed.

After a while, I heard a burst of laughter outside the main courtyard gate.

Then, I saw the burly Dong Zhuo, walking with a tiger, and came to Yuan Kui's main courtyard with a heroic spirit.

"Brother Yuan, in the past few days when I arrived in Beijing, I have only discussed business with each other, and I have never visited Brother Yuan in private, and the younger brother has come to ask my brother for his guilt today, and I also ask my brother not to blame the younger brother for his abrupt crime!"

Yuan Kui's face turned a little blue, and he rushed up in his heart to give Dong Zhuo a big ear scraper.

Over the years, whether it is in the current debriefing or in the letters, Dong Zhuo has always called Yuan Kui "Yuan Gong".

How did he become "Brother Yuan" today!

This is a clear desire to be anti-customer-oriented, and to be on an equal footing with yourself.

"What kind of person is the old man? How can he be worthy of Sikong personally visiting the mansion, or should the old man personally go to the mansion to visit him. Yuan Kui said sarcastically.

"Hahaha, that's embarrassing!"

Anyway, there was no need for Yuan Kui to want to, Dong Zhuo entered the Yuan family hall by himself.

The two sides sat down, and Yuan Kui ordered someone to entertain them with honey water.

Dong Zhuo picked up the honey water with a smile, and after taking a sip, he frowned.

"Brother Yuan, the younger brother was born in the border county, he is good at using bow horses, he runs around the desert all the year round, he is not used to the things of jujube honey, how about changing some wine?"

Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes, but Yuan Kui was immobile and ordered, "Serve the wine." ”

When he was young, some people in the house brought water and wine and offered them to Dong Zhuo to drink.

Dong Zhuo took a sip of water and wine, stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's really happy!" The wine of the Yuan family is different from the outside, and it is worthy of being the gate of the four worlds and the three princes...... Oh no! It should be the third duke of the fifth world, or the sixth duke of the fifth world! Hahaha, alas, the world's famous family, it's really enviable. ”

When he said this, Dong Zhuo deliberately glanced at Yuan Ji.

Yuan Kui took a deep breath and ignored the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words.

"I don't know what Zhong Ying is here today, what is the so-called? Public or private? ”

Dong Zhuo said slowly: "Both public and private!" ”

"Is this private, naturally it is to visit Brother Ciyang, brother is Dong's old benefactor, elder brother, Dong Mou came to Luoyang, anyone can not worship, but to Brother Ciyang, it must not be disrespectful."

Yuan Kui let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you Zhongying, the old man lived to this age before he knew that my old face was so face-saving." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled: "Of course, Yu Gong naturally has it!" The old man pondered, entering Beijing and Luoyang, everything is complicated, the Son of Heaven can't be pro-government, everything in the world is piled up in Shangshutai, Brother Ciyang personally records Shangshu, hard work every day, the old man can't bear it, think about it, or have to share his brother's worries! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Kui's heart suddenly tightened.

He knew in his heart that Dong Zhuo was aiming at the power of governance in the Han Dynasty.

What did he want to do?

"I wonder how Zhong Ying wants to share my worries with me?"

"The old man plans to re-establish the Thirteen Cao, assist His Majesty, and lead all the affairs of Luoyang, I don't know what Brother Ciyang thinks?"

Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji immediately understood when they heard this!

What is the establishment of thirteen Cao to assist state affairs, it is all false.

The former Thirteen Cao of the Han Dynasty was the full-time secretariat of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to the emperor's "Six Shang".

Where is this to help Yuan Kui share his worries, this is to restore the prime minister system, to grab power with Yuan Kui and the people of the world!

I'm very sorry, these days have been in Guangzhou, Foshan, Nanning and other places for the company to run customers to take orders, no three watches, legs are about to run off, today is the same, about to go to Liuzhou, but it is estimated that in a few days it should be on the line
