"Although this is the case, if I remain silent, big things will become trivial, and small things will disappear, what will the brothers of the Yulin Army think? Could I be killed so easily? The brothers will be chilled!"
Although everyone agreed, Dong Zhuo also had his own considerations. He was born in the military and was famous for his boldness in Yongliang. Only then did he gather a group of loyal soldiers. If not, how could he be as prosperous and wealthy as he is today!
Even if the murderer is the former emperor Liu Bian, if he doesn't take any measures, he will definitely make his subordinates feel heartbroken. At that time, it will not only affect the Yulin Army, but also other troops.
The next general, Li Jue, took a step forward: "What the lord said is true. Now we have just absorbed the He family and Ding Yuan's old troops. If we can't let them see the lord's attitude, it will definitely affect the newly attached troops!
A few days ago, He Jin's old troops Bao Xin and Wang Kuang have led their troops to flee the capital. If the lord cannot take a clear attitude at this critical moment, I am afraid that this situation will continue and get worse."
General Guo Si seconded: "That's right! If we want to quickly stabilize the morale of the army, we must convey the attitude of the lord to the soldiers. Although it doesn't matter if an individual dies, it is the soldiers of the Yulin Army. If we can't even pacify the Yulin Army, what's the point?
How about appeasing the rest of the army!"
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly and was in a dilemma.
But at this moment, Li Ru handed over his hand again: "This is easy, Sikong doesn't need to worry. The murderer is Zhu Tong. Although he was ordered by King Hongnong, he can be exempted from death penalty but cannot escape from living crime. I will reward him with a hundred sticks."
If you take responsibility, and then transfer him away from Age, you can not only appease the soldiers of the Yulin Army, but also give King Hongnong a beating to stop him from being so presumptuous!"
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes sparkled, he pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "That's very good!" His eyes fell on Li Ru, Dong Zhuo smiled calmly: "Wen You, I'll leave this matter to you.
.”
Li Ru nodded and smiled: "No!"
...
At the same time.
Tufu's Mansion.
study.
An old man with kind eyebrows put down the book in his hand and turned to look at the gentle man next to him: "Don't worry, Shiji. Although Dong Zhuo's brain is not very bright, there are naturally people in the Sikong Mansion who can understand it. King Hongnong will definitely be fine."
He exhaled a long breath and his eyes looked a little deep: "It's true that he..."
Yuan Ji raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, no matter what, this is our Yuan family. Even if we have some different opinions, we will never act recklessly. I will try to help him find a job as a county guard in a few days."
, this is enough."
After a pause, Yuan Wei turned to look at Yuan Ji: "Although I was born as a commoner at the beginning, my courtesy and virtuous corporal are well-known throughout the country. This is better than the road. He also took many soldiers and horses with him when he left. If he can have the post of county guard,
It will surely grow and develop in the short term.”
Yuan Ji smiled playfully: "Gao Dao and Ben Chu are dissatisfied with each other, so this time we just have a competition, and my uncle can take this opportunity to test whether they have real abilities!"
Yuan Wei said calmly: "Gao Dao is contacting He's old department in Beijing. I heard that many people are willing to follow him. He is a tiger general. This coup has been successful. It should not be a problem to get the post of general."
Contact He's old department?
Speaking of this, Yuan Ji suddenly thought of their rival Dong Zhuo, who was also recruiting the old members of the He family. Dong Zhuo should not be able to compete with the Yuan family, but due to the existence of someone, he repeatedly overpowered the Yuan family, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy:
"Does uncle know Li Ru?"
Yuan Wei pinched a strand of goatee under his chin: "You are talking about the newcomer Li Ru from Sikong Mansion?"
"That's right!" Yuan Ji nodded, "I heard that he was a doctor before and had been depressed. Unexpectedly, as soon as Dong Zhuo arrived in the capital, this man took the initiative to join him and helped Dong Zhuo accomplish many things."
"Have you sent anyone to contact him?" Yuan Wei said solemnly.
Yuan Ji shook his head: "This person only caught my attention yesterday. I plan to send someone to contact him in two days to see if it is possible to win over him."
Yuan Wei frowned and let out a sigh: "Oh, it's my fault for being dim-sighted. This man has been a doctor for many years, but I couldn't see that he was a talent. If he had been attracted earlier, how could he have joined Dong Zhuo!"
"Don't worry, uncle, how can such a talented person be willing to be loyal to that ruthless man from Xiliang!"
Yuan Ji bowed his head and said: "In my nephew's humble opinion, he is helping Dong Zhuo just to show off his talents. A scholar has the pride of a scholar, how can he succumb to a reckless man?"
Yuan Wei turned to look and smiled calmly: "That's true! Dong Zhuo is good at beating the Qiang and Hu people. If you want to have a place in the court, you don't rely on your fists, but on your tactics!"
Yuan Jishen agreed: "That's right! My uncle turned his hand to make clouds and rain. Dong Zhuo was only proud for a while. In the end, this court can only belong to our Yuan family."
With a long sigh, Yuan Wei picked up the scroll again and ordered: "You must help more with the highway matter. Regardless of whether you can win over Li Ru or not, you must divide the He clan as soon as possible!"
Yuan Ji bowed his hands and said, "No!"
...
Royal Palace, Age.
Liu Bian was lying on the couch, leaning against the railing, and handed his hand to the old man with white hair and beard in front of him. He was deeply impressed by this man. He was Wang Xuan, the imperial physician who often came to treat him.
Wang Xuan knelt down in front of Liu Bian, squinting his eyes, holding a strand of goatee under his chin with his left hand, and placed his right hand on Liu Bian's wrist to diagnose his pulse.
Liu Bian winked at Zhu Tong and Tang Ji, signaled them to leave, and said softly: "Mr. Wang, it seems that you have been the palace physician for as long as I can remember. At your current age, I don't know how long you have been here?"
"It has been twenty-five years." Wang Xuan replied.
"Twenty-five years have passed, and he is actually older than Gu." Liu Bian smiled calmly.
"Yes, it was only in my twelfth year that I entered the palace that I was named a nobleman." Wang Xuan sighed lightly, "It's a pity...sigh."
Liu Bian pretended to be sad and looked pitiful: "Mr. Wang, today Thief Dong can kill my mother with poison, but tomorrow he may kill me with poison!"
Wang Xuan was startled. He tried to move away from the hand that was diagnosing his pulse, but was caught by Liu Bian with his backhand. His eyes were filled with fire and he stared at the opponent.
"Your Highness, this old man..." Wang Xuan was frightened.
"Mr. Wang, I don't want you to save me, but I hope you can give me an antidote to the poison." Liu Bian lowered his voice.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, there is no antidote for this poison. There is really nothing I can do about it!" Wang Xuan said tremblingly, "The poison is extremely poisonous. Once it enters the mouth, it can be fatal in just a few breaths. There is no antidote."
Liu Bian was shocked, as the netizen said: "Just...a few breaths?"
Wang Xuan nodded slowly: "Exactly."
At this time, some netizens reminded: "This is a symptom of acute poisoning. It cannot be cured in ancient times, but it does not mean that modern medicine cannot cure it. Master Bian, don't panic and ask him for a copy of the poison."
Just as Wang Xuan was about to stand up, Liu Bian grabbed him and said, "Mr. Wang, can you give me a copy of the poison? Don't worry, I won't commit suicide."
Wang Xuan glanced at Liu Bian: "Your Highness, how can there be poison in the old man's body? Besides, the old man is an imperial doctor and his job is to cure diseases and save people. How can he harm people with poison?"
Come to think of it, who would carry poison on their body?
Liu Bian sighed: "Alas..."
Wang Xuan stood up and bowed to Liu Bian: "Your Highness is weak and needs rest to recover. I will give you a prescription to soothe your nerves and order someone to take the medicine according to the prescription."
After that, Wang Xuan came to the side to write the case, took out the bamboo slips, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, I take my leave."
Liu Bian smiled lightly and responded: "Guard Zhu, send Mr. Wang off for the orphan."
Zhu Tong entered the inner hall, bowed and waved his hand in a form of invitation: "Mr. Wang, please come this way."
