Facts have proved that the Yellow Turban Army is really on the verge of collapse at present, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao went to lobby all kinds of commanders, and the effect was very significant!

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou fell in despair, and they all threw themselves into Liu Jian, and Guan Yu also used the Yellow Turbans' own grain to supply these surrendered Yellow Turbans, which were temporarily maintained.

Even if there are some Yellow Turban Army commanders who are a little unconvinced by Liu Jian in their hearts, Sima Ju and Xu He are dead, and now the general trend is not on their side, and stubborn resistance is just a dead end...... Unconvinced, there is no other way out but to surrender.

The huge population of 1.6 or 7 million smashed towards Liu Jian in an instant.

Don't think that a large population is a good thing, a large population does represent an increase in productivity, but first of all, you must have enough economic capacity and food to appease these productive forces.

In response to this situation, Liu Jian asked Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan to take out the surplus grain of the Yellow Turban to settle these people, and at the same time wrote a letter to report the situation to the Luoyang side.

Such a big thing naturally caused an uproar in the imperial court.

Following the achievement of leveling Zhang Jiao, Liu Jian made another great contribution to the imperial court in the easternmost border of the Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo got the news, he immediately went to the inner palace and informed the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven about it.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Liu Jian is in Qingzhou, killing the head of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief, and recruiting more than one million people in Qingzhou Yellow Turban, this is an immortal achievement, and he should be rewarded to show his merit!"

The Son of Heaven Liu Wei was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Empress Dowager He on the side said: "Liu Deran has been ranked as the general of the left, the lord is the county candidate, and there is also the festival of the first emperor, the glory is already extreme, how to add the edict again?" ”

Dong Zhuo arched his hand and said: "It's just that if you don't seal it, I'm afraid it will hurt the heart of the hero, and I ask Your Highness to think about it." ”

Dong Zhuo is a rough person, he calls everyone on weekdays, and now in front of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, he is not very respectful, and he rarely hears respect in his words, which makes the Queen Mother He very dissatisfied.

After all, the two of them are now on the same front, so Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei are also relatively indulgent to Dong Zhuo.

But as time passed, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor began to become more and more dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's behavior.

Especially the cautious eye of Empress Dowager He, she couldn't see any respect in Dong Zhuo.

But with the current situation, they really need to rely on Dong Zhuo, and they can't do anything to him.

"Your Majesty and I will think about this matter."

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Your Highness, what the old minister said to His Highness before, I don't know what His Highness thinks?" ”

When he said this, the faces of the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He suddenly changed.

The Son of Heaven hurriedly looked at his mother with a pleading look in his eyes.

Empress Dowager He said: "Xiangguo, the matter after the abolition is inevitably too involved, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne not long ago, if you act like this, I am afraid that Your Majesty's reputation will not be beneficial, and since the Tang Clan entered the palace, there is no arrogance and rudeness, how can it be easily abolished?" ”

Dong Zhuo's expression was disdainful: "Your Highness needs to know that the Empress Tang is the daughter of the Yingchuan Tang Clan, the Yingchuan Tang Clan and the Runan Yuan Clan have been friends for a long time, and they have always respected the Yuan Clan. ”

Empress Dowager He said: "Having said that, even if the queen is abolished, it does not mean that it can be decided overnight, and it needs to be ......discussed in the court."

"Your Highness!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly roared, startling Empress Dowager He.

"Your Highness! What else do you talk about at this time? Is this the election of His Majesty, or is it the election of the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty for His Majesty? Once this matter is discussed, even if His Royal Highness chooses a hundred people for His Majesty, they are all the daughters of the Lord's family, and the affairs of His Majesty's palace will definitely be controlled by others, which ...... Is that what His Highness wants to see? ”

Empress Dowager He was scolded by Dong Zhuo, and she was a little distracted for a while.

Then, I saw that her face turned a little red: "Xiangguo has something to say, why is it so loud, don't you take my mother and son in your eyes?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare! The old minister just wanted to remind His Royal Highness that when the first emperor was there, there were still eunuchs in the inner palace who could handle the affairs of the palace for His Majesty, and formed an opposition with the ministers of the court, and the eunuchs died in the past, and now the ministers of the court have no opponents, if His Royal Highness wants to rely on them in this matter, it is tantamount to self-destruction! ”

After a pause, he listened to Dong Zhuo again: "When His Royal Highness entered the palace, if there was no eunuch to help, only relying on the court's ministers to choose themselves, with His Royal Highness's background, how could he become the mother of the Han Dynasty?" ”

These words really poked at the sore spot of Empress Dowager He.

"You...... Xiang Guoan dares to be so rude! ”

Empress Dowager He got up suddenly, trembling and stretched out her hand to point at Dong Zhuo, her lips trembled, and her face turned pale.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about saluting the Empress Dowager He: "Your Highness, the old minister is a rough man, he has been wandering around the border all the year round, and he is the enemy of the traitor Qiang people, and he doesn't know much about the rules, but he just talks about things, and if he is rude, please forgive His Highness." ”

"But the old minister has no selfish intentions, just for the sake of His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and a sincere heart can be learned! Please also ask Your Highness not to blame the old minister. ”

Although Empress Dowager He is narrow-minded, she is not the woman who did not have a city government back then, and she has some city government.

Facing Dong Zhuo, who had begun to gradually become domineering, Empress Dowager He could only suppress her anger as much as possible and no longer mention this stubble.

"What Xiangguo said, I will think about it carefully, and please don't worry about it, the big thing in the future is not idle, at least let our mother and son think about it carefully."

Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry, he saluted the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, and then left proudly.

Outside the hall, Li Ru, who had just been appointed as Dongcao, was waiting for Dong Zhuo.

Now the Thirteen Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been formally established, and the power is very great, among which the East Cao is in charge of the "relocation of two thousand stone chief officials and military officials", and the power is very great.

When Cao Cao was appointed prime minister in history, he used Cui Yan and Mao Jie.

When Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Ji Han, he took Jiang Wan as Dongcao.

This shows the importance of this position for the concentration of weight.

Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo and hurriedly asked Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, can Your Majesty and the Queen Mother agree to the abolition of the queen?" ”

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift!"

As Dong Zhuo walked, he told Li Ru what happened in the hall.

After Li Ru heard this, he hesitated slightly.

"Xiangguo, there is one thing in the last official, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Wenyou and the old man, like sons and nephews, what can't be said between you and me? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

Li Ru said respectfully: "Although Xiangguo is now in power, but if you want to achieve a great cause, you still need to rely on imperial power, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are short-sighted people, but they pay attention to face, especially the Queen Mother, who is a narrow-minded person, sometimes, Xiangguo should not force each other too much, I am afraid that the overall situation is not good." ”

Dong Zhuo naturally understands what Li Ru said, but he is now in a high position, and he is becoming more and more impatient with the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven.

If it is replaced by someone else, even if he has gradually sat in a high position and grasped real power, he may still be able to treat the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother well, and paralyze them with lies and behaviors, but for Dong Zhuo, who is getting older and was born in Liangzhou, he has not yet practiced this inner cultivation kung fu.

After living for a while, he waited for a chance to show his ambitions, and Dong Zhuo really couldn't control his behavior.

"It's not the old man who did it on purpose, it's just that the stupid woman is the queen mother, completely ignoring the overall situation, not listening to the old man's good words, and pushing back a little, the old man is angry, so he will say something and dial her!"

Li Ru sighed secretly in his heart: Phase

When the country first entered Luoyang, it was still able to restrain its own mind, but as time went by, the more powerful it became, and the style of Xiangguo's behavior began to become more and more domineering.

That's not a good thing.

In the future, we still need to find a way to find a time to advise Dong Xiangguo.

Li Ruyan said: "Xiangguo, about the matter after the abolition, or the last official to find an opportunity to persuade the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, although the Empress Dowager He is a jealous woman, but she is also a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, Xiangguo and her, after all, are still on the same front, and there will be more time to cooperate together in the future, and it is really not easy to make trouble at the moment." ”

Dong Zhuo pursed his lips, pondered carefully for a while, and then nodded.

……

……

At the same time, Empress Dowager He was throwing a tantrum in her harem.

"Dong Zhuo's old horseman! How dare he be so rude to me, the queen mother! ”

"Smack!"

With the sound of scolding, a jade lord was still broken into several pieces on the ground.

"Old thief! If he didn't have my help, he would not be able to become the prime minister! ”

"Smack!"

"Now that I have monopolized the government, I have begun to disrespect the Son of Heaven and me!"

"What a reason!"

"Smack, smack!"

"Old thief!"

With one shouting and scolding after another, something was constantly thrown to the ground by the Empress Dowager He.

Lu Qiang stood behind him and silently watched Empress Dowager He vent his emotions.

When he was young, when Empress Dowager He had vented enough, Lu Qiang spoke:

"Your Royal Highness, according to the old slave, Dong Zhuo is not credible, but this queen, the queen mother still has to be abolished, and the queen mother can't have trouble with him now."
