Liu Yu felt that if Liu Bei really thought highly of Dong Zhuo and wanted to push him to a higher level, he would not let him keep a low profile.
Not to mention allowing him to bring his army to Luoyang in a big way.
Doesn't this push him to the forefront?
Or does Liu Bei have other ideas?
Liu Yu knew very well that Liu Bei was not only good at fighting, but also very strong in political skills. He was a capable man with both military and political skills. It was impossible for him to not understand the secrets here.
So what is Liu Bei's attitude towards Dong Zhuo?
What is the purpose of calling this famous old official of the Yuan family, Fengxian, to Luoyang to be one of the Nine Qings?
Liu Yu felt that there was a deep meaning in this.
But Liu Yu quickly realized - what does this have to do with him?
He came to Luoyang to fulfill his dream and to take the position that should be the most independent of the world.
To reach that position, he only needs to be aloof and detached from the world, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.
He knew that Liu Bei had great power, he knew that Luoyang was Liu Bei's private territory, and he knew that the actual ruler of the Han Empire was Liu Bei.
But so what?
He doesn't care.
As long as the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty, what does it matter?
Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, a person recognized by Empress Dowager Dong, and a person recognized by the late Emperor. He is justified.
That's OK.
When Liu Yu came back this time, he wanted to be a god. He would not eat the fireworks of the world, let alone have anything to do with the dirty things in the world, lest these dirty things stain his feathers.
As the saying goes, being strong without desire, Liu Yu believes that as long as he doesn't fight for anything, no one can defeat him, and he is the strongest person.
So when Dong Zhuo stopped to prepare for things in Luoyang City, Liu Yu had already quietly entered Luoyang City, and then went to the General's Mansion to meet Liu Bei.
When he saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei was handling affairs. When he learned that Liu Yu had arrived, Liu Bei was a little surprised.
"You are here, why don't you find someone to notify me? I will greet you personally instead of asking you to come to my house. You are the elder of the clan. I am too rude."
Liu Yu chuckled.
"What's the big deal about such a trivial matter? Yu is not a very important person, he is just a mediocre person who has nothing to do with his body. This time he came to Luoyang to be a mediocre person among mediocre people. Where is the need for you who can really do things?
Is the general coming to see you?"
Liu Yu held Liu Bei's hand, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Liu Bei just smiled and said nothing more. He talked with Liu Yu about what happened along the way and what he had seen in Qingzhou. While chatting, Guo Jia came in to deliver news to Liu Bei.
"General, there is..."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu understood and prepared to stand up and leave.
"The general has important matters to deal with, so Yu resigned. Let's talk another day."
However, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to signal Liu Yu not to get up.
"Situ Gong is not an outsider, he is an elder of the clan. If you have any questions, just say it. There is no need to avoid it."
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, said nothing, and sat down peacefully.
Guo Jia nodded and told Liu Bei what happened outside the city.
Then Liu Bei was stunned.
"Dong Zhuo's men robbed? And beat people?"
"Yes, after Dong Zhuo's army arrived outside the city, it was not far away from the residential areas outside the city. Some Dong Zhuo's soldiers saw that the residents outside the city were quite prosperous, so they went to plunder. At that time, there happened to be people under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Order
The county soldiers patrolled and tried to stop it, but Dong Zhuo's troops did not accept it and fought with the county soldiers, injuring many people."
"Are there any dead? Are there many injured?"
"No one was killed, but there were quite a few injured. Three of the county soldiers were injured, as well as a family that had been robbed before, a man, a woman and a child. They were going to set up a stall in the city to sell some biscuits, but they were robbed.
I didn't want to, so I argued with the soldiers and then got beaten. Fortunately, the county soldiers were nearby, otherwise it would have been hard to tell."
Guo Jia looked indignant: "Now this matter has spread outside the city, and some people in the city also know about it, and they are all talking about Dong Zhuo. I am very worried that this matter will turn from a small matter to a big matter.
Do you want to intervene quickly?"
What Guo Jia said is correct.
The army outside Luoyang City has been controlled by Liu Bei for several years. The military discipline is very good. It is customary to show no offense to the residents outside Luoyang City. The two sides maintain a good distance.
In the middle of this year, after the county soldiers were added to patrol for security, the crime regulations were also added. Private fighting is not allowed. If something happens, you need to go to the county soldiers to deal with it. Regardless of whether a private fight is justified or not, you have to take it back for interrogation. If not,
I have to be locked up for a few days to reflect and reflect.
So soon, the security inside and outside Luoyang City became better. I hadn't heard of any beatings for a long time, but suddenly something like this happened.
Although the incident is not big, it has a great impact and may cause some political incidents.
The newly appointed Da Honglu's subordinates looted, beat people, and even clashed with the county soldiers. They directly conflicted with the newly established powerful department Zhongshutai. If this matter breaks out, Dong Zhuo's future will be difficult to predict.
Already.
It's easy to say that it's purely Dong Zhuo's problem. The key point is that Dong Zhuo was recommended by Liu Bei to serve as Dahonglu. If you ask people to think divergently, they can use it to attack Liu Bei's lack of knowledge, which is similar to what happened with Gongsun Zan back then.
Although this matter is much smaller than Gongsun Zan's matter, and can even be regarded as an internal conflict within Liu Bei's group, some people are stunned and want to think in that direction.
That wouldn't be pretty.
"well……"
In front of Liu Yu, Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
"Let Mr. Situ see the joke."
"No, that's not important. What's important is, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Liu Yu whispered: "If this matter is not handled well, it should be quite troublesome, and...not long after I arrived in Luoyang, I saw Dong Zhuo coming to Luoyang with many people. At that time, the people around me
Some friends are criticizing Dong Zhuo and think that Dong Zhuo did something wrong.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo has not been popular from the beginning. Now that something like this has happened, there should be more people who want to take this opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo. You should make a decision as soon as possible to avoid making things worse."
"Indeed."
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, looked at Guo Jia, and said: "Fengxiao, you go to Boning immediately and ask him to go out in person and lead the county soldiers to capture the illegal and criminal soldiers in Dong Zhuo's army and punish them.
The criminals are under control, and then I will go to Dong Zhuo to talk about this matter and ask Dong Zhuo to personally resolve it."
"only!"
Guo Jia nodded and went to do the work immediately.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Bei and realized that Liu Bei was trying to protect Dong Zhuo.
Of course, he thinks this is right.
Liu Bei should indeed protect Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was recommended by Liu Bei. When many people in the court objected, Liu Bei also strongly recommended that Dong Zhuo come to Luoyang. Now that something has happened, Liu Bei will not protect him. It is easy to remind people of what happened to Gongsun Zan back then.
Although Gongsun Zan did do something wrong, Liu Bei did not protect Gongsun Zan and allowed him to be killed, which indeed aroused criticism from a small number of people.
Some people say that Liu Bei did not handle the Gongsun Zan matter very well and did not show up during the whole process. Although it was necessary to avoid suspicion, he could not do nothing.
Over the years, he had heard many times in Qingzhou that Liu Bei had a good reputation for standing up for his subordinates, and he felt that it might be related to the negative impact that the Gongsun Zan incident had on Liu Bei.
