Chapter 235: The Game

Yuan Shao blocked the west gate and north gate of Luoyang, wanting to force Dong Zhuo to submit, and even blasphemed the holy decree in order to achieve his goal, but unfortunately, he was not dealing with Dong Zhuo, but Li Ru, the mastermind behind the scenes, and all his actions were expected by Li Ru!

Li Ru, who has a natural hatred for the scholar class, made up his mind to fight Yuan Shao to the end, and successfully persuaded Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo also understood that if he wanted to dominate in Luoyang, he had no future in mixing with others, so sooner or later, these people would be his opponents! Although it's a bit early to turn his face now, but the opportunity is rare now, if he gives in now, not only will he have offended Yuan Shao, but even the two trump cards at hand will be lost, especially that little girl, how can Dong be embarrassed if she doesn't fall for her?

Soon, all the officials in Luoyang City received the emperor's edict, and the three dukes and nine kings and other high-ranking officials also received the holy decree and went to the West Garden to pay tribute to the emperor!

If Liu Hongquan had knowledge, would he be moved inexplicably? He Lian, who has always been unable to get along with herself, and her unsuccessful son Liu Wei are so persistent in paying tribute to themselves.

Politics is all about results, and there is nothing that cannot be exploited in order to achieve the goal, nothing more!

Some of the officials who received the oracle gathered together to discuss, and some ran directly to their own peaks, anyway, when the sky fell, there were tall people on top, and what to do from above, just learn the same! What the hell are you doing?

However, those three princes and nine kings were also a little at a loss, and after pondering, they ran to ask Taifu Yuan Kui, and some officials also went to the palace to meet Yuan Shao, but there was no one in the south of the city, which was really strange!

In fact, it is not surprising, because the hundred officials have already classified Zhuang Shaoyou and Dong Zhuo as one party! This Eight Achievements was conspired by these two men!

Taifu Yuan Kui was originally cultivating in the house, but the events of the day before yesterday made him physically and mentally exhausted and disheartened, and he didn't want to ask about the government anymore, but he couldn't help himself, the Yuan family had to pick such a big stall with this old bone, and none of the sons of Ben and the highway were competitive, and none of the descendants of the Yuan family could take over! Sad!

Taifu Yuan Kui, after He Jin's death, deservedly became the first person in Luoyang, just now he naturally received the holy decree, Yuan Kui just thought about it, and had a choice, when the hundred officials wanted to come to visit him and wait for him to make an idea, Yuan Kui was already dressed neatly, dressed in filial piety clothes, and sat in the carriage.

Yuan Kui lifted the curtain and glanced at the ministers, the three princes and nine kings were basically here, so he paused and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor and the queen mother paid tribute to the first emperor in the West Garden, summoned Kui and others to go, Kui is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and thanks to the grace of the first emperor, naturally all follow the truth! Everyone, please take a moment and go! ”

The coachman had already been instructed to drive the carriage to the west gate, and the remaining hundred officials looked at each other, which one did Mrs. Yuan sing? And look in the direction, that's Simon! Only then did the hundred officials react, and hurriedly followed behind Yuan Kui's carriage, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yuan Kui's carriage was walking very slowly.

Soon, Yuan Shao received the news and was immediately furious, he actually came to dismantle my platform at this time! Do you really want to expel me Yuan Benchu from the house? Suddenly, Yuan Shao fell into a dilemma.

Now that the city has known about this, coupled with his uncle Yuan Kui taking the lead in responding to the holy decree, if Yuan Shao insists on stopping it, he will fall into absolute isolation, and he will have to bear the notoriety of disloyalty and unfilial piety, which can be said to be worth the loss!

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shao suddenly asked:

"Zhong Jian, how is our second card going?"

Although there are a large number of celebrities and scholars around Yuan Shao today, only Chun Yuqiong is the most trusted, which can be described as Yuan Shao's right and left hand, but Chun Yuqiong made outstanding achievements in the last battle of the West Garden, so he began to be proud and arrogant.

"Lord, it rained heavily a few days ago, the road is difficult to walk, and there are at least three days left to get to Luoyang!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Alright! A bunch of damn bastards, just let you get away with it for another three days! Zhong Jian went to prepare, let's go to the West Garden too! ”

In the south of the city, Zhuang Shaoyou was the first to receive the holy decree, because Dong Zhuo's men and horses made a detour to the south gate to enter the city! Dong Zhuo also wrote a private letter to Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed: This dead fat man is still very nostalgic!

So, Zhuang Shaoyou in the south of the city was also prepared, bargained with his subordinates, and finally took five hundred guards to the West Garden, the first emperor Liu Hong also had a good understanding of Zhuang Shaoyou, of course, what he knew was his money.

At the west gate of Luoyang City, Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong came here with three thousand elites, and happened to meet Yuan Kui's carriage and the civil and military officials who followed behind.

Yuan Shao's move was nothing more than to clear his name and put all the faults on his subordinates. In fact, this is also a very common means, of course, notoriety needs to be carried by someone, at the critical moment, it is his responsibility and obligation for his subordinates to bear the blame for the master, and it is also his glory!

Everyone was embarrassed for a while, but they were used to seeing it, no one would be idle to expose Yuan Shao, so be it! Yuan Kui on the carriage did not say a word from beginning to end, nor did he show up, and Yuan Shao tossed there.

In the West Garden, Li Ru has already arranged everything, originally, it is a big event to pay tribute to the first emperor, and it is necessary to let Tai Bu Ling, to which Taichang belongs, choose an auspicious day, and then after some careful preparations, pay tribute in the early morning.

But today is not an auspicious day, and the time is also in the afternoon, but, for the needs of the living, Liu Hong, a dead man, please be wronged! Everything is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, you will admit it!

Zhuang Shaoyou was the first to arrive in the West Garden, Dong Zhuo heard the news, and immediately took a group of major generals to greet him in person, which can be said to have given Zhuang Shaoyou enough face, and when the Queen Mother He Lian heard the news, her eyes were full of fire, and she didn't know whether she hated Zhuang Shaoyou, or Dong Zhuo, or both?

As soon as Zhuang Shaoyou stepped into the West Garden, Dong Zhuo greeted him and shouted from afar:

"Virtuous brother! You have to work so hard for your brother! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou also sped up his pace, arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Zhong Ying, don't come to harm?" ”

When the two approached, Dong Zhuo leaned over and grabbed Zhuang Shaoyou's hand and said:

"The virtuous brother is in Luoyang, and he is very prosperous, but he has forgotten my brother and me without a trace, speaking of which, this is the virtuous brother, you are not!"

Li Ru and Niu Fu both know it, and they are still a little embarrassed in their hearts, the centurion of the Yellow Turban Army back then is now a prominent person, a celebrity in Luoyang, and the first person of the new generation!

Zhuang Shaoyou also said a few simple greetings to Li Ru and Niu Fu, and then walked inside with Dong Zhuoyou and laughing, so intimate.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo's men reported:

Taifu Yuan Kui led hundreds of civil and military officials to the West Garden, as well as Yuan Shao and his 3,000 men.

Dong Zhuo hesitated, but he personally greeted him, Yuan Kui is different from Yuan Shao, he is an old man in officialdom, and now the first person in Luoyang officialdom is not far behind! ProtΓ©gΓ©s and officials are all over the world, and at least two percent of the hundred officials in Luoyang are from their disciples, and those who are indirect and take refuge are countless.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo has just heard about Ximen's matter, and today Yuan Shaoken compromised, and there is still a little credit for Yuan Kui, people respect me, I respect people! This is Dong Zhuo's principle of life, and he should be welcomed both in public and private!

But how should Yuan Shao be treated?

Fang Cai Zhuang Shaoyou's five hundred guards also followed into the West Garden, what about Yuan Shao's three thousand horses? Li Ru wanted to give Yuan Shao a dismissal, but Dong Zhuo was a little hesitant, and Niu Fu also felt that it was not appropriate, this move was suspected of being too deceitful, and under the stalemate, Dong Zhuo looked at Zhuang Shaoyou and asked:

"What do you think should be done with this matter?"

Zhuang Shaoyou was not pretentious, and said directly: "It's only three thousand people, the Xiliang army is strong and strong, are you afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

Dong Zhuo was a little confused, but Li Ru's eyes lit up and said:

"General Zhuang's plan is very good! No, it's Master Young Master! ”

"Brother Wenyou is so polite!"

Li Ru didn't care about being polite anymore, he leaned into Dong Zhuo's ear and whispered a few words, Dong Zhuo hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and agreed, Li Ru was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared to go.

Dong Zhuo and Zhuang Shaoyou joined forces to greet him, and as a result, the hundred officials were even more convinced of the previous inference, this Dong Zhuo was indeed recruited by Zhuang Shaoyou! Zhuang Shaoyou alone is already strong enough, and now with Dong Zhuo, if the two join forces, then Yuan Shao is not...

Well, it seems that after today, Luoyang will be reshuffled again!

As for Huo He, Yuan Shao's men and horses can't do it anymore Zhuang Shaoyou and Dong Zhuo!

It seems that the issue of taking sides will have to be reconsidered!

As soon as Yuan Kui got off the carriage, Dong Zhuo and Zhuang Shaoyou walked over, and Dong Zhuo saluted Yuan Kui respectfully and said:

"Zhong Ying has seen Master Taifu!"

Yuan Kui was slightly surprised, but there was no show on his face, and he hurriedly replied:

"General Dong has guarded the western region for the Han Dynasty for many years, and has made meritorious contributions to protecting the country, and Yuan has also heard of General Dong's name for a long time.

Although Yuan Kui's words were polite, they were said very well, and Dong Zhuo was very useful. Yuan Shao on the side was silent, his face was cold, as if he was waiting for Dong Zhuo to take the initiative to greet him, but Dong Zhuo hesitated, and after all, he ignored it, and directly let Yuan Kui go inside, leaving Yuan Shao alone angry.

After all the officials entered, Yuan Shao walked in with his three thousand men and horses, and the guards at the door did not stop him, which made Yuan Shao frown slightly, but his heart was still uneven.

Everyone entered the West Garden, first worshiped the emperor Liu Wei and the empress dowager He Lian, and then went to the spirit of the former emperor Liu Hong to worship.

Liu Wei and He Lian saw that Zhuang Shaoyou and Yuan Shao both had fire in their eyes, and Zhuang Shaoyou wondered in their hearts, it is normal for Liu Wei to hate himself, but why does He Lian, a girl, hate herself?

In fact, this is the legendary hatred because of love, as soon as he thought of going to meet Dong Zhuo's dead fat man, He Lian couldn't stop being angry, and then blamed everything on Zhuang Shaoyou, hating him for refusing to obey him.

And Yuan Shao pretended to turn a blind eye, the He family was to be eradicated, and Liu Wei would have to be abolished sooner or later!

Wait, sooner or later, we will trample you all under your feet! Prostrate, tremble! I, Yuan Benchu, am the true son of heaven!
