Chapter 109 Luoyang 2

Chapter Chapter 2009

"General, you now have a 200,000 army and are in charge of the artifacts of the Han Dynasty. The princes of the world see the general standing in Luoyang, which shocks the world. Which one is not moved? Which one doesn't want to be so majestic as the general one day? Therefore, although the court is calm at present, the undercurrent is surging, and many plans for the general have begun to be implemented. What the general needs now is to deter the heroes and make all the princes who have bad ideas in the world feel scared, so as to establish a strong prestige, so that the general can dominate the world without worries. Li Ru smiled mysteriously in his eyes and looked at Dong Zhuo, waiting for Dong Zhuo's reaction.

"Yes, what you said is really right. 30,000 Liangzhou iron riders entered Luoyang, and now, they can only control the situation in Luoyang. But it's really difficult to order and dominate the world. I don't know what good can you do, Li Ru? Although Dong Zhuo was very excited, he looked calm and asked Li Ru for advice. It is certain that once Dong Zhuo stabilizes the situation in Luoyang now, he is likely to dominate the world at once, but as long as there is a slight mistake, he will end up dead without a whole body. It is impossible for Dong Zhuo not to be cautious.

"I have come up with two strategies for the general. With Li Ru's plans in the past two days, the general can dominate the world. The first is to let Li and Guo Yan divide their troops into two ways, seize the control of the cities around Luoyang and completely control the surroundings of Luoyang with lightning speed. In this way, our army has completely laid the foundation in Luoyang. Even if other princes want to touch Luoyang, it will become extremely difficult. On the other road, the army will go to Chang'an. Chang'an is the land of Longxing in the Han Dynasty. The people are rich and the country is strong, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The former Qin annexation of the roots and the world. If the general is Chang'an, the land of the three auxiliary will belong to the general. At that time, the general can see the Central Plains, annex the world, and retreat to the three auxiliary Xiongguan can be divided. At that time, the general dominated the world, and no one could shake his strength. Li Ru was embarrassed to talk about his happiness. He couldn't stop smiling, as if Dong Zhuo's hegemony could only be completed between his words.

"Li Ru, what you said is not wrong, but I have just entered Luoyang and have been in charge of the court for only a few days. I'm afraid the courtiers won't agree with such a big move, right?" Although Dong Zhuo is arrogant, as a martial artist, he must be a scholar. He always feels that he has bowed his head. Now even if Dong Zhuo is a general, he is still a little worried about those stubborn literati.

"The general is in charge of military affairs. He only needs to issue an order. Why do he have to discuss with those sour scholars? Those people are full of food all day long, and only know how to talk about it. How can they govern the world? When the general makes a decision, he will make a decision. There must be no delay, and it will change if it is late." Li Ru is different from Dong Zhuo. After those so-called famous families, he is a student of the emperor.

"Yes, I will do as you say. I allow you to take my arrow to order Li Wei and Guo Yu to act immediately without delay. When I really master Chang'an and Luoyang, I want to see who else can compete with me. Dong Zhuo finally made up his mind to master the situation in the world as soon as possible.

"General, the second strategy I want to dedicate to you today is to deal with these literati. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, because Gao Zu was afraid of the self-respect of the generals and soldiers, he valued literature over martial arts, vigorously improved the status of literary ministers, and suppressed the status of generals, so that those scholars, one by one, thought they were saints, arrogant and unruly. The general is in charge of the government. If you want to reduce trouble, you must purify the power of the Chinese ministers like the First Emperor of Qin. Only in this way can we maintain the purity of the court and establish the supreme authority of the general. Li Ru smiled faintly, and the fierce feelings arose spontaneously.

"Yes, to be honest, I can't get used to the faces of those self-righteous literary ministers, but there must always be a reason for killing people. If I kill casually, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition. I must be in arrears when I came to Luoyang, and I still need to consolidate my foundation." Although Dong Zhuo killed decisively, the literary minister had a special status in the Han Dynasty. Even if Emperor Ling was in power, although there was a party dispute, he did not dare to kill the literary minister in the dynasty. Therefore, Dong Zhuo was still very worried about this matter.

"Ha ha, General, don't worry, I, Li Ru, do things. How can I not have a priority and let the general take the blame?" Speaking of this, Li Ru suddenly changed the topic. What does the general think of Liu Xie's son? I think this son is smart and has the image of a king. I heard that before the death of Emperor Ling, there was an edict to be passed on to this son. At this time, Li Ru showed that he was very interested in Liu Xie.

"Well, I've heard of this incident, but what does it have to do with it?" Looking at Li Ru's sudden mention of Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled.

"Hey hey, the general can discuss with the ministers in the court about abolishing the new emperor at the time of the discussion tomorrow. At that time, those ministers who are dissatisfied with the general will definitely come out to oppose it. At that time, the general will take out the edict of the spiritual emperor and read it on the spot. In this way, those who oppose the general become those who oppose Liu Xie to be the emperor and the edict of Emperor Ling. At that time, the general can kill all these ministers in the name of rebellion. Since then, isn't the general alone in charge of the court? Li Ru turned his head and said with a smile.

"What you said is reasonable, but where did we get the imperial edict of Emperor Ling?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and was a little obsessed. Obviously, Dong Zhuo has not yet entered the state of holding power and taking charge of the world, so he is still a little tied up when doing things.

"General, what is this? The imperial edict of the Ling Emperor has been prepared for the general. With that, Li Ru took out a bright yellow silk cloth from his arms and gave it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo reached out and took the silk cloth in Li Ru's hand. When he opened it, he jumped. It turned out that this was an imperial edict, and it was also stamped with the Jade seal of the Spirit Emperor. Looking at the meaning of this imperial edict, Dong Zhuo suddenly became clear that this was actually an edict that asked Liu Xie to succeed to the throne, but this was not Dong Zhuo's surprise. What really surprised Dong Zhuo was that on this edict, it was named Tuogu and Dong Zhuo, hoping that Dong Zhuo could assist Liu Xie and Zhongxing Han.

This is amazing. Originally, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing only under the order of He Jin, but with this imperial edict, Dong Zhuo's identity was no longer a small assassin, but a real lonely minister and a generous minister of the Han Dynasty. This minister has great power. When the emperor can't govern himself, he can enjoy almost all the rights of the emperor.

Dong Zhuo took this imperial edict and played it in his hand. He was reluctant to put it down for a long time, as if this imperial edict was so precious. Although Dong Zhuo also knew in his heart that this imperial edict was just Li Ru's trick to deceive the eyes of the world.

If the dead Lingdi knew that his imperial edict had such a copy in Dong Zhuo's hand, and his young son Liu Wei could finally ascend the throne, what would Emperor Ling think? However, in any case, Dong Zhuo finally helped the Ling Emperor complete the sustenance of the Ling Emperor's deathbed. From this point of view, Dong Zhuo is also the orphan minister of the Ling Emperor.

"General, although everything is under the control of our army now, there are still many variables, and the general must be guarded. Although our army is strong, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu among the princes should not be underestimated. The general still needs to take precautions. Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, Li Ru couldn't help reminding him again. As a military division, Li Ru deeply understands that he should not underestimate his enemies in any case.

"Hahaha, Li Ru, don't worry, Li Ru. Ding Yuan is just an old man. I will kill it sooner or later. As for the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, if they synthesize one, I'm still afraid of three points. However, their brothers are centrifug. Where can they be my enemy? It's just a little bit. I can make them ashes in a flicker. . " Dong Zhuo laughed, but he didn't care about these people.

The next morning, there were a hustle andrs outside the Luoyang Palace, and the officials who wanted to go to court came to the palace early to wait. However, the people who come here are not all officials, but most of them are servants and guards brought by officials. Imagine that those who can go to the court are all high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty. There are not a lot of servants. Some officials who like to show off will naturally bring a lot of followers.

Of course, the servants and followers can only be the petty officials of the Han Dynasty. When the powerful figures of the Han Dynasty, such as Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao, came, they directly brought their own guards. There's nothing we can do. Now Luoyang is fighting fiercely. Don't bring more people? These people really don't dare to go out casually.

Finally, the discussion began, and Dong Zhuo took the lead in coming out, stood in front of the people in the hall, and stroked his belly.

"Gentlemen, since I entered the court, I have to do everything personally and work conscientiously for the Han Dynasty. However, there are disputes everywhere, and the people of the world still have no way to live and work in peace and contentment. After thinking for a long time, I finally learned that the problems of my Han Dynasty are not elsewhere, but in the court. If I want to revitalise the Han Dynasty, I will take the lead in reforming the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo took a detour and looked at the ministers proudly. Immediately, officials close to Dong Zhuo echoed.

"The general is right. The court of the Han Dynasty should be changed, and only the general can complete this reform and change the old appearance of the Han Dynasty." Everyone looked at the official who echoed Dong Zhuo, who was Chen Ergou, who was newly promoted by Dong Zhuo.

Chen Ergou was originally a piece of land. Later, his family spent some money to let Chen Ergou do a job of guarding the door in Luoyang City, but he didn't expect that Chen Ergou was out of control and leaned on the big tree of Dong Zhuo.

It turned out that on that day, Dong Zhuo's army arrived in Luoyang. But he saw that the gate of Luoyang was closed, and he actually stopped Dong Zhuo outside the city. It must be that Luoyang is the capital of the country. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw a large army coming, they naturally closed the gate, but Chen Ergou was different. When he was unprepared, he brought a few ruffians and quietly opened the gate and let Dong Zhuo in.

Now, Chen Ergou is developed. In order to praise him, Dong Zhuo decided to be promoted to Chen Ergou's official. However, when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the guarding of the city naturally became a Xiliang soldier. Obviously, it was not good to let Chen Ergou guard the city gate again. He must have this experience. Even if Chen Ergou wanted to guard the city gate, Dong Zhuo was not worried. However, seeing that Chen Ergou was eloquent, Dong Zhuo asked Chen Ergou to be a civil official. When he was responsible for the Shang Dynasty, he quarreled with the great Confucian celebrities of the Han Dynasty. In this way, it also gave full play to Chen Ergou's specialty, and the land and scribes were not the same. Since Chen Ergou took office, he also appeared in the court for Dong Zhuo. Shao Li, when I saw Dong Zhuo talking now, Chen Ergou immediately agreed.
