Chapter 327 Dong Zhuo reluctantly parted with love
Luoyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo has not gone to court for three days, which means that the morning court has been stagnant for three days!
The news of Yuan Shao's rebellion had already reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Yuan Shao's proclamation against thieves was placed on Dong Zhuo's desk!
"I really followed what Liu Zhang said. The Yuan family is just feeding unfamiliar wolf cubs! We should have killed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu from the beginning!"
Dong Zhuo now feels regretful. In order to win over the Yuan family, he did not care about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's rudeness, let alone their private escape from Luoyang. Instead, he promoted them to high positions, Yuan Shu made them generals, and Yuan Shao
Seal the governor of Bohai!
Now instead of getting any gratitude from Yuan, he got the news that he was raising an army to kill him!
"Prime Minister, it's too late to say anything now. It's better to think of some countermeasures as soon as possible."
Li Ru kept shaking his head and sighing. At first, he was so talkative that his words were worn out, but he did not persuade Dong Zhuo to attack Er Yuan, which led to today's disaster!
"The Yuan family is deeply rooted and has disciples and old officials all over the world. Yuan Shao will definitely get a lot of response when he launches an army! Fortunately, our family arranged many county guards and state pastors last year, so we should be able to resist for a while."
Dong Zhuo's only hope now is that the two Yuans can attack each other with the chiefs of various states and counties he has arranged to consume each other's strength. In this way, Dong Zhuo can sit firmly in Luoyang and wipe out the two Yuans in one fell swoop when they are at the end of their power.
After all, Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, and Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, were both appointed by Dong Zhuo, so they were well prepared in advance!
"I hope so..."
Li Ru's face was very sad. He did not think Dong Zhuo's strategy would work, and he had always been pessimistic.
"Wen You, I understand that I didn't listen to you at that time, which led to this disaster! But don't blame our family. The Yuan family is the head of the family, and there is nothing we can do if we don't make enemies with them!"
Li Ru smiled sadly. How dare he blame Dong Zhuo? Since Dong Zhuo took the position of Prime Minister, his temper has become more and more cruel!
"The Prime Minister is joking, how dare Ru blame the Prime Minister, but there are some things we need to do as soon as possible!"
"What's the matter?"
"The Yuan brothers rebelled, so Yuan Wei who stayed in Luoyang will undoubtedly become their internal agent! If they are not removed as soon as possible, it will definitely lead to disaster!"
Li Ru has decided that from today on, he must put his mind to the extreme and never let anything slip through the net again!
"Kill Yuan Wei?"
"No, it's to kill Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and all other Yuan clans in one go! And deprive them of all their official positions!"
Dong Zhuo frowned and moved his eyes around, obviously very hesitant about this proposal.
"Wen You, I guess as long as we kill Yuan Wei, then we will be equivalent to a complete break with the Yuan family..."
"Prime Minister! The Yuan brothers are coming! Think about it carefully. If the Yuan brothers attack Luoyang, will they consider whether to break with us? Will they spare our lives?"
Li Ru was really depressed. Dong Zhuo's temper became more and more irritable, and his character became more and more indecisive. He often felt worried about gains and losses!
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and kept thinking about Li Ru's words. Finally he made a decision and clenched his fists suddenly.
"Okay! According to Wenyou, I will immediately send people to put all of Yuan Wei's family in jail!"
"There is no need to be anxious. Now we only need to send people to monitor him. When he goes to court in the next few days, the Prime Minister will execute Yuan Wei in public! In order to give the ministers a deterrent!"
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, with a stern look on his face. Now that he had made the decision, he didn't care if he did it even more absolutely!
"Who else are you going to kill? Let's talk about it together! Our family will bloodbath Luoyang City tomorrow!"
Li Ru's little eyes kept moving around, and his eyebrows were sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, and he was obviously hesitating.
"Oh, what time is it? Why don't you tell me quickly!"
Seeing that Li Ru was about to speak but hesitated, Dong Zhuo quickly urged him.
"Xiangguo, Yuan Shao's message emphasized the fact that the prime minister abolished the elders and established the younger ones, and forced Liu Xie to be the emperor! Under the guise of complying with the late emperor's orders, they marched under the banner of re-establishing the eldest prince Liu Bian. It would be better to kill Liu
Debate, let them start without a name!"
"no!"
Dong Zhuo refused Li Ru's proposal to kill Liu Bian without even thinking about it.
"Why?"
Seeing Li Ru's confused look, Dong Zhuo felt extremely embarrassed and hesitated for a long time without explaining.
"Wen You, can you not kill Liu Bian first?" Li Ru suddenly reacted, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"The Prime Minister must be reluctant to part with Queen Mother He!"
Dong Zhuo's face turned red, and Li Ru directly exposed his little thoughts!
"Wen You, our family is really reluctant to let go of Queen Mother He! You don't know what that feels like..."
"Prime Minister! When is it? If the Queen Mother He unites with the ministers and cooperates with the Yuan brothers inside and outside, it will be too late to regret it!"
Li Ru was so disappointed. Where had Dong Zhuo gone who was decisive in killing and had a rock-like heart?
Ever since he came into contact with the Queen Mother He, Dong Zhuo had completely changed! He stayed in the palace of the Queen Mother He all day long and paid no attention to Luoyang's affairs.
To put it bluntly, if Li Ru was not Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he would have rebelled long ago! Even Dong Zhuo was killed by him without knowing how he died!
Maybe he really felt the crisis, maybe he was shocked by Li Ru's eyes, Dong Zhuo finally woke up.
"Wen You, I leave everything to you, our family... just ask..."
Li Ru finally showed a smile. He firmly believed that as long as Dong Zhuo listened to him, everything would not be over yet!
"I obey! It's just that we in Luoyang still have a hidden crisis. The Prime Minister must not forget it!"
"You mean Liu Zhang, right?"
Dong Zhuo nodded and immediately understood what Li Ru meant.
In the past six months, Liu Zhang had ceased his activities and did not even leave the camp. Dong Zhuo gradually forgot about this person's existence.
"Yes, he is hanging on our chest like a sharp knife! Liu Zhang's command has been slightly streamlined, and he still has 40,000 troops! If he is an enemy, he will definitely give us a fatal blow! But if he is a reinforcement, it will be a great help
!”
Forty thousand! If Li Ru hadn’t reminded him, Dong Zhuo would have forgotten this number! Liu Zhang’s sense of presence is really too low!
"Oh, our family can't figure out what Liu Zhang means. Let's go to visit Liu Zhang on behalf of our family and see if he can get us on the same side! As long as it's not too much, I'll agree to it!"
Dong Zhuo absolutely did not believe that Liu Zhang really had no interest in the affairs of the court, so why didn't he just resign and return to his hometown? Why did he still hold on to the 40,000-strong army?
There is only one purpose for doing this, wait for the price!
"No, I'm going to visit General Wei right now!"
"etc!"
Just as Li Ru turned around, he was stopped by Dong Zhuo behind him.
"Wen You, please find a way to get Liu Zhang to attend the court meeting in three days."
