Chapter 23: Who is the Hero (3)
Prosperity comes, defeat returns. At this moment, the eight characters just express Dong Zhuo's mood at the moment.
originally thought that Jiang Qi was unwilling, but the two were old acquaintances, and they could work together to seek the world.
But I didn't think about it, I poured a basin of cold water on my heart. And he didn't dare to attack on the spot, and he was very aggrieved.
"Father-in-law, what Jiang Qi thinks, I'm afraid it's not the only one, it's the same for everyone who has been in the opposition for many years. How should the hundred officials ...... now" On the way back, in the face of Dong Zhuo's anger, Li Ru said carefully.
"That Wenyou, what should I do? Is it just going back to the west in a gray way? Holding back his anger, Dong Zhuo was angry and couldn't get out, and now he answered, he was also angry.
"In fact, today is not without gains, at least let us see the form clearly. And it's not necessarily a waste of work. As a strategist, seeking for the Lord, although Dong Zhuo has a bad temper, Li Ru did not dare to speak out.
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing that Li Ruhao was good news, Dong Zhuo was in a better mood, and asked with a side face.
"Originally, my father-in-law wanted to use external forces to counterbalance the DPRK-China movement, even if it was unsuccessful. Judging from today's words with Jiang Qi and the situation at home, at least he doesn't want to participate in the war between the DPRK and China, so the lord has at least no strong opponent. Looking back at Dong Zhuo's gaze, Li Ru said cautiously.
"Then how to ensure that Jiang Qi will not fall to Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan?? Listening to his words today, he is very loyal to the court, maybe he has already informed the court of today's events at this moment. Obviously, Li Ru's words have no basis, and Dong Zhuo doesn't believe it.
"Don't worry about my father-in-law, my father-in-law should know that the DPRK and China are now observing our every move, and today my father-in-law and Jiang Qi joined hands in Wubao and talked very happily, and they must have been told by the eyeliner that they were in the DPRK, and in addition, the father-in-law and Jiang Qi worked together twice, both of which were reused, plus today's events, you can imagine what the DPRK and China will think." Regarding Dong Zhuo's worries, Li Ru smiled and said.
"Oh...... No wonder Wen You was so eager to let his father come to visit Jiang Qi, it turned out to be this! Finally understood the reason, Dong Zhuo woke up like a dream, and immediately praised it.
Therefore, the father-in-law should not be angry at this moment, lest people think that he had fallen out with Jiang Qi, which would not be good. Moreover, Confucianism also suggested that people should immediately give heavy gifts to Jiang Qi, which turned into an illusion and thought that we would unite. Li Ru continued.
"Clever! Thanks to the reminder of the virtuous son-in-law, otherwise let the officials know that we had a falling out with Jiang Qi, and we would definitely make a fuss, so we would have no chance of winning. Okay, as soon as the gift is given, Jiang Qike will have a hard time arguing. It is not in vain that he has always regarded it as a humerus, and at this moment, Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's eyes and praised it again.
"But there is no one to unite, father-in-law, we have to find another way to confuse the court, so that we can hold out until the army comes." Finally seeing Dong Zhuo's smile, Li Ru, who had won back his trust, proposed.
"So what??" In recent years, he has been accustomed to Li Ru's advice, and Dong Zhuo immediately asked.
"Now I'm afraid there's only one way to add to the stove...... When it gets dark, my father-in-law will order the three thousand soldiers to leave quietly, and come here with great fanfare during the day, so it may be possible...... "There is no way at the moment, Li Ru can only make a bold suggestion.
"Hmm...... I understand, if the imperial court sees that we have new recruits entering the camp, and there are 3,000 more people coming and going, they will definitely not dare to act rashly, and if it drags on for three or five days, then our reinforcements will really arrive. Although Li Ru was a little worried, Dong Zhuo agreed loudly, and immediately swept away the yin and returned laughing.
………………………………………………………………
It was very successful, even if Li Ru was very worried that his unclever strategy would be seen through, but he was very successful in confusing the talented and talented people.
As for those who have the intention to remind them, such as Jiang Qi, they don't have a chance at all. Even if it was once famous, but now no one knows it, not to mention entering the palace and going to court, it is Yuan Shao, a former friend, who handed over the greeting post several times, but he couldn't pass the threshold of the house.
Jiang Qi, who came and went, and had a good face, immediately gave up, anyway, he did his best, and everything was left to the fate of God.
Three days, but three days, the first support army of Xiliang, which had been prepared, arrived, and as soon as nearly 10,000 horses entered the camp, Dong Zhuo didn't care about it anymore, and the originally modest Xiliang people immediately changed their faces.
At the daily court meeting, Dong Zhuo is the army to open the way, ruthless and unreasonable, anyone who stands in the way will suffer, and there will be dead and wounded every day. For a time, the people in Beijing looked at them like tigers and wolves.
At this time, it may be too late to say anything: "Hey, how difficult the country is, and how many disasters are in the society." As soon as the ten permanent servants were removed, another Dong Zhuo ......"
"They enter the city like this every day, the iron armor opens the road, rampant through the streets, the people avoid them like evil ghosts, and make people panic inside and outside the capital." When Yuan Kui complained with a distressed look, Bao Xin, who had just led the troops into Beijing, was jealous and hateful.
"I knew that today, when I was the first edict, I resolutely stopped the general from summoning Dong Zhuo into Beijing, alas, ......" Now looking at the out-of-control situation, Yuan Shao also sighed uneasily in his heart.
"Recently, Dong Zhuo entered and exited the court, unscrupulous, frightened, and restless. At the beginning, Zheng Gongye and Lu Zigan had already said that Dong Zhuo was kind and ruthless, and once he entered the forbidden court, he would cause disaster. It seems that the misfortune is right. I believe that from this point of view, Dong Zhuo is a scourge, and it should be eliminated quickly. As Yuan Shao sighed, Bao Xin suggested angrily.
Unfortunately, even if the advice is appropriate, for those in power, every decision is a battle of ideas, after all, maintaining the status quo may be worry-free, but once the action fails, the rights gained in front of them will disappear.
And I'm afraid it's why barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.
Seeing no response for a long time, Bao Xin, who was in a hurry, immediately got up and asked, "What should I do now, what do you mean, ......what do you mean?"
"Captain Bao's words, Shao doesn't know, but the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants has just subsided, and the court is newly decided, so it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time!" There is no way to avoid it, Yuan Shao can only say as if coping.
"What does Master Taifu think??" Greeted Yuan Shao's words of disappointment, Bao Xin, who did not give up, looked at Yuan Kui, who was now in charge of the government.
It's just a pity, people's uncles and nephews are united, how can they listen to the words of outsiders, when they look back and see Yuan Shao shaking his head, Yuan Kui immediately has a plan, and then said: "This matter is important, please think about it in the long run......"
"That's good! The letter leads the people of the headquarters to return temporarily, when to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and then come to help. Bao Xin, who was full of ambition and was extinguished, thought about the current chaotic situation, and knew that it was difficult to get through the troubled waters, so he decided to save his strength.
"......" obviously didn't want to flash people without saying a word, Yuan Shao didn't expect it, but looking at Bao Xin, who was brushing his sleeves away, he was not He Jin, and he couldn't keep it at all.
It's just that Yuan Shao's uncle and nephew are still thinking about the gains and losses, and Dong Zhuo, who is angry and proud, is no longer satisfied with the current status of the DPRK.
When there was a large army to help, Dong Zhuo, who had no worries, swelled, not to mention that his eyes were empty, but there was no place for him in the Three Princes and Nine Qings, which made him very unhappy, and he immediately wanted to make a move.
"Wenyou, now that the reinforcements have arrived, the court is helpless against the old man. But the status of the DPRK and China has not been improved, is there any way? Playing with the wine cup in the military tent, Dong Zhuo asked tangledly.
"My father-in-law has been in Xiliang for a long time, and he has no prestige in the court, if he wants to take the throne, I am afraid that he can only be Liwei." What Dong Zhuo was thinking, Li Ru could guess, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.
"Liwei?? Liwei?? But now that the court is clear, how can you establish your authority? Do you want to get rid of the Yuan family? Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled.
"No, the fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, so the officials are all over the world, and they can't be eliminated overnight. And the Yuan family is a family, and once the Yuan family is destroyed, the world will regard the father-in-law as an enemy, which is not conducive to the future. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo returned Yuan Shao's thoughts, Li Ru was immediately startled and hurriedly stopped.
"What does that mean??" His ideas were refuted, Dong Zhuo was not angry, but looked at Li Ru with a little interest, with his usual understanding, Dong Zhuo knew that he must have a plan.
"What does my father-in-law think about today??" After taking a deep breath and looking around at no one left and right, Li Ru whispered.
"Son of Heaven? Although the old man had not met a few times, he felt a little weak and incompetent, but he was Chen Liuwang, who left a deep impression...... Wen You said...... "I didn't think that Li Rugu would talk about him left and right, Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled, but he still expressed his opinion." Just talking and talking and feeling wrong.
"Now the court is weak, the Son of Heaven is young, and the people in charge of the court are the Queen Mother and He Jinyu. My father-in-law has never been in the court, he has no foundation, even if he has a heavy army, he wants to be reused, but it is unrealistic. If you want to be in power, you can only stand up. And abolishing the emperor and establishing a new monarch is the most effective method! Since he had already spoken, Li Ru didn't hide it, and immediately said boldly.
Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, he didn't expect that his son-in-law, who was usually weak and weak, had such a vicious side, but after being surprised, he was excited again.
"Scrap the old and make the new!! Wonderful! With Chen Liuwang, formerly known as Dong Hou, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong is of the same clan as the old husband. ”
"King Chen Liuwang was liked by the first emperor and was ready to be the prince. There were rumors that He Jin was strong and forced his nephew Liu Wei to the throne, and now if his father-in-law sets things right, he can not only be reused by the new monarch, but also take the opportunity to get rid of He Jinyu's party. Seeing Dong Zhuo's excitement, Li Ru knew that he agreed, and immediately said again.
"Yes, as soon as the new emperor is established, the power of the old man can stand above the hundreds of officials in the court, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven will be coerced to order the world, how can the old man also ......" rejoiced in his heart, as if he saw the road of light, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily.
"Back then, Yi Yin and Huo Guangxing abolished the establishment, and they were all famous through the ages, and today's father-in-law will follow suit, and they will also go down in history......" Seeing Dong Zhuo happy, Li Ru immediately said to him.
"Hahaha, Wen You is worthy of the old man's think tank, with Wen You, why should the old man worry about big things!"
"However, although there are great advantages to this matter, there are also disadvantages, and my father-in-law should be careful!" While rejoicing, he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would get carried away, and Li Ru poured cold water on him again.
"Huh?? Still harmful? What is it, ...... words"
"Since the second emperor of our dynasty, all those who have held power in the court, such as Dou Xian, Deng Qiu, Yan Xian, Chen Fan, and the newly killed He Jin, there is no one who has not been killed, so those who support the emperor have consolidated their power and leaned towards the government and the opposition, and they have been prominent for a while, but they have also become the target of public criticism, and the father-in-law is cautious...... Li Ru said warningly.
"Reviewing the old and learning the new, Wen You's heartfelt words are very good. However, the old man is not Dou Xian, Deng Qiu and the like. It is definitely not He Jin's butcher, since the opportunities are in front of him, how can he miss it, hahaha...... "Although the warning is good, Dong Zhuo, who has been lost in excitement, can he take care of it, and waved his hand.
"Then the father-in-law might as well have a banquet for hundreds of officials first, how about exploring the wind??"
"That's good, Wen You will immediately write down the invitation, and tomorrow the banquet will invite hundreds of officials......"
