The next day, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Li Ru to take General Zuo's seal ribbon to Liu Jian's camp and talk with him.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo went to the North Palace in person to meet Emperor Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager He.

Although Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei were rescued by Dong Zhuo some time ago, their mother and son did not have a good impression of Dong Zhuo.

After all, since Dong Zhuo rescued them, he has been imprisoning them in the palace in Luoyang, basically not allowing them to see outsiders, just ask the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He what kind of impression can they have towards him?

"Minister Dong Zhuo, meet Your Majesty, meet Your Highness!"

Mrs. He's face turned cold and said, "Sikong is flat, there is no need to be polite." ”

Listening to the tone in his words, he seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Dong Zhuo.

But Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously, on the contrary, the more Empress Dowager He had this attitude, the happier he was in his heart.

His attitude shows that this woman has no city government, and people without city government will make people a little uncomfortable on the surface, but overall, it is relatively easy to control.

It's better than those who treat you with great respect on the face, but in fact in their hearts they are thinking about killing you in the most vicious way.

Dong Zhuo looked up at the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven, and then with a big mouth, he suddenly knelt on the ground, his bearded face trembled slightly, and he actually sobbed.

"Old minister, old minister can't live with the Queen Mother, I can't live with Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to give their ministers the death penalty! ”

Dong Zhuo made such a fuss, and immediately stunned the Empress Dowager He and the emperor.

Liu Wei hurriedly got up, came to Dong Zhuo in person, and reached out to support him: "Dong Qing, why is this?" Dong Qing, hurry up! ”

"Thank you, thank you! Alas, the old minister can't stand Your Majesty, I can't live with Your Highness! ”

Empress Dowager He was also a little confused by Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Qing, why is this?"

Dong Zhuo slowly stood up and said to the Empress Dowager He: "The Empress Dowager must have hated the old minister in her heart, the Empress Dowager thinks that the old minister is imprisoning His Majesty and the Empress Dowager because she wants to dominate the government, right?" ”

Empress Dowager He's face sank, and she wanted to say "yes", but she didn't say it.

When she was young, Fang listened to her and said, "Isn't Dong Qing thinking so?" ”

Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "If the old man thinks so, he will not come here to see His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and the old minister also has a last resort." ”

Empress Dowager He seemed to be quite curious when she heard this: "What is Dong Qing's trouble?" Why not be blunt? ”

"Your Highness, please think about it, why did the old minister suddenly return to Beijing with the order of the general when he was outside?"

As soon as Empress Dowager He heard about Dong Zhuo, she couldn't help but feel indignant in her heart.

"It's not my stupid brother, who was bewitched by the old thief of the Yuan family, and had to move you back to the court to kill the eunuchs, and now not only broke the arms of my mother and son, but even he himself died in the court, and now in the court, there is no one who my mother and son can trust, and my mother and son have completely become alone......"

When she said this, Empress Dowager He began to cry in a low voice.

Dong Zhuo's face showed a little sadness.

Then, I listened to him: "Your Highness only sees the surface, but has not seen the inside, just a eunuch, the Yuan family not only transferred the old man back to Beijing, but even moved Ding Yuan and Zhang Yi back from Hanoi and Bingzhou, which shows that after they got rid of the generals and eunuchs, they still have a follow-up move!" ”

Empress Dowager He was stunned when she heard this.

Liu Wei was also stunned when he heard this.

Dong Zhuo sighed: "Queen Mother, that Liu Deran is a loyal minister left by the first emperor, since he got King Chen Liu, he did not send King Chen Liuwang back to the capital, but sent him back to Yecheng, Your Highness knows why?" ”

"This ......" Empress Dowager He frowned: "I really haven't thought about it." ”

Dong Zhuo slowly guided the Empress Dowager He and said: "Your Highness, think about it, for the Yuan family, an emperor with a mother and uncle by his side, or an emperor without a mother, which one is more beneficial to the Yuan family?" ”

When Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei heard this, they immediately exploded.

Seeing that Empress Dowager He stood up suddenly, she looked at Dong Zhuo in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "Could it be that the person surnamed Yuan still wants to abolish the emperor?" ”

Dong Zhuo sighed: "When the general is there, when the eunuch is there, they naturally don't dare, so they set up this series of plans, kill the general and the eunuch first, and then abolish the establishment, although the old minister is the former official of the Yuan family, but the food is Hanlu, so after returning to Beijing, not allowing outsiders to see His Majesty and the Queen Mother at will, in order to prevent them from harming His Majesty and the Queen Mother......"

Speaking of this, he saw Dong Zhuo slowly close his eyes and said: "Alas, it's a pity that the old minister is loyal, but he is still misunderstood by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and now Yuan Kui sees that the plan cannot be implemented, so he ordered Ding Yuan and Zhang Yi to secretly transfer troops and send generals, and want the life of the old minister...... The old minister is over sixty years old, maybe this time it's just to fight them......"

"Dong Aiqing!"

Liu Wei suddenly grinned and cried.

He walked up to Dong Zhuo's side, held Dong Zhuo's broad palm, and said, "Dong Aiqing can't fall!" If Aiqing falls, let me go, what should I do! ”

Dong Zhuo kindly patted Liu Bian's shoulder, and sighed: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is ambitious, it's really that the old minister is also one-armed, that the Yuan family has five generations, there are six three dukes, protégés and old officials all over the world, after the death of the first emperor, the Yuan family has set up three state pastors in the south, and the rest of the sons and nephews are all too guarded ministers and have great power, even the generals are alive, and they have to submit to them. ”

"What's more, Yuan Kui is now recording Shangshu affairs, and the world's decrees are all out of his hands, and the old ministers really can't fight them!"

Dong Zhuo's words are not completely false, it can be said that they are eight points true and two points false, so it is easy to deceive the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven.

And Dong Zhuo is also a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, and in terms of acting, ordinary people can't play him.

He is a vicious person, but he is very kind and kind on weekdays, and he has been acting for decades.

In particular, Liu Jian has now detained King Chen Liu, and this matter has been "interpreted" by Dong Zhuo, but it has become the best proof that Yuan Kui wants to abolish the emperor.

After all, for Liu Jian, Empress Dowager He still has an excellent impression of him.

In the heart of Empress Dowager He, Liu Jian is a loyal minister!

Since Liu Jian detained King Chen Liuwang and didn't let him come back, there must be a reason!

Now it seems that Liu Jian also detained King Chen Liuwang in order to protect their mother and son!

"The old thief of the Yuan family, the momentum is so loud, and they are not satisfied, do they really want to usurp the world of the Han Dynasty?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head helplessly, and said: "Queen Mother, so far, with the Yuan family being so prosperous, if they don't go further, they must be plotted by the royal family, this is a helpless move, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" ”

Empress Dowager He pondered for a moment and said, "Dong Qing was originally a former official of the Yuan family, but it is really rare to be able to do such a thing for my mother and son!" Dong Qing was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty...... Now that my brother is dead, and the eunuchs are dead, there is no one in the city of Luoyang that my mother and son rely on...... can only rely on Dong Qing. ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Shangshutai is controlled by Yuan Kui, he definitely won't hand it over, and if the old man wants to confront the Yuan family, it is really unjustifiable." ”

Empress Dowager He said: "How about letting Dong Qing be a general?" ”

Dong Zhuo sighed: "The general only has the right to command the army, but he has no right to govern the government, and he still can't fight the Yuan family......"

"That?"

"Alas, the old man has a method of ten thousand deaths, which can temporarily contain the Yuan family, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother and His Majesty will not."

"Dong Qing's famous words are."

"Shang Shutai is in the hands of the Yuan family, the current situation, only by establishing the Xiangguo and setting up thirteen Cao, can we fight against Shang Shutai, but the old man is just a Liangzhou person, how can he do the things of the prime minister, if there is no help from His Majesty and the Queen Mother, the old man leads the country by himself, it is a big rebellion......"

When the Empress Dowager He and the emperor heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Prime Minister...... It's a big deal.

Dong Zhuo saw that Empress Dowager He hesitated, and immediately said: "Empress Dowager, this matter is very important, it is indeed not something that can be decided in one day, and it is imperative to ...... it."

"Sikong! Sikong! ”

At this time, I saw Li Dao running in "as if in a panic".

Dong Zhuo was furious: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude in front of Your Majesty! ”

"No, Sikong! Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan have already displayed their soldiers and horses outside the city, threatening to fight Sikong to the death! Its momentum is very great, and I heard that Yuan Shao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou are already preparing for the army, ready to march to Luoyang! ”

After saying this, Li Dao hurriedly lowered his face downward, because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his happiness, so that the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother would see it, and Dong Zhuo would not be able to clean him up and kill him!

Panic flashed on Dong Zhuo's face.

He hurriedly bowed his hand to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, the old minister will retire first!" ”

With that, Dong Zhuo turned his head and hurried out of the hall.

"Empty and slow!"

Empress Dowager He stopped Dong Zhuo with words: "If Sikong is the prime minister, how should he compete with him?" ”

Dong Zhuo stopped, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

But he quickly put away his smile, turned to He Hou and said, "Your Highness, do you know when the old minister began to be disappointed in the Yuan family?" ”

"When?"

"When Zhang Jiao was killed, Lao Chen found something in Zhang Jiao's relics, and since then, Lao Chen has known that those who mess with the world will be Yuan's also!"

Empress He asked, "What did Zhang Jiao leave behind?" ”

Dong Zhuo then said slowly to the Empress Dowager He.

It was just an instant that I saw the pale face of the Empress Dowager He.

I can add it tomorrow
