Wang Yu was distracted for a moment, but the situation at the venue changed dramatically.
Huang Gai's eloquence was passable, but compared with people like Li Ru, it was far behind. It didn't take long for him to be completely suppressed. But Li Ru didn't feel proud for long, because his opponent was not alone.
Overwhelming Huang Gai is at best a good start.
The failure of pioneer Huang Gai did not dampen everyone's morale. On the contrary, Li Ru's vitriol aroused everyone's new and old hatreds, and a fierce scolding war began.
That's right, it was a scolding battle, not a polemic, because Li Ru had no intention of having a good debate with everyone. If he really wanted to debate, facing the group of people present, not to mention him, even Zhuge Liang, who was quarreling with the Confucian scholars, would not be able to do so.
win.
"Yuan Changshui, the defender on the road, is famous. In the capital, he can stop children from crying at night, make widows stay in their homes, and make Taoist and Confucian celebrities hide their faces and run away! Why did Yuan Sikong die so young? Was it because of his shameless and perverse behavior?
Is your son angry?"
"Liu Jingsheng is just a facade... Yuan Benchu is a tyrannical man in his home... He specializes in stealing Cao Mengde's wife... Liu Gongshan hides his sword in his smile... He likes to dig up ancestral graves, Uncle Zhang Zhi..."
Li Ru was not just messing around in Luoyang for nearly a year. He was in charge of espionage work for Dong Zhuo. He had spies in all the major families in the capital and gained countless secrets. Li Ru had a bad reputation, but he
He is also a talented man with extensive knowledge and strong memorization. He was fully prepared before coming. He immediately exposed his shortcomings and scolded the public, and he was very happy to expose them.
All the advisers have their own talents, but how could they have thought that Li Ru would not follow the formal rules?
They have never learned to call shrews in the street, and they have no information on tit-for-tat. They can only call a few traitors and traitors over and over again. How can they be as powerful as Li Ru's non-trivial way of exposing shortcomings?
"Everyone, everyone, please listen to me. This man is already crazy. We don't need to talk to him anymore. We can just report back to each other and raise righteous soldiers. We will catch all the stubborn people in one fell swoop and gather together in Luoyang City.
Wouldn’t it be better to do things with the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance?”
Wang Yu recognized that the person speaking was none other than Ju Shou, who was on an envoy on Yuan Shao's behalf, and couldn't help but secretly praise him. This man's vision was indeed unique, and he could see through Li Ru's appearance of being strong on the outside but indifferent on the inside at a glance.
By the way, he used a trick on himself. If Li Ru aroused public outrage, he would not be able to deal with it by using benevolence, justice and morality. Jushu was indeed very powerful, but this trick was useless.
"Siege Luoyang?" Li Ru snorted angrily and said coldly: "Do you think our army is really defenseless? Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiliang, Guanzhong, just talking about the chips in our army's hands, some people
If you dare to attack the city gate of Luoyang, don't blame me, the people of Xiliang, for their destruction!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Li Ru gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you don't give us a way to survive, then we will break up and no one will be able to live well!"
He hated it in his heart! As soon as these words came out, the reputation of the Xiliang Army was completely ruined, but he didn't dare not say it because it was Wang Yu's instigation... It should be said that it was a hint.
If Li Ru did not threaten the emperor in public, he must keep the emperor, otherwise Wang Yu would be rude. After much deliberation, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo decided to swallow this bitter pill, since they had no reputation anyway.
Take care of your eyes.
Therefore, just now he unceremoniously exposed his shortcomings and scolded him. In fact, it just meant that he was a broken person. His reputation was completely ruined. Are he still afraid of offending a few more people?
"Li Ru! Are you still a minister of the Han Dynasty? How dare you make such treasonous remarks in public? If you turn back as soon as possible, there is still a chance to redeem yourself. If you insist on going your own way and resist stubbornly, you will only end up with your reputation ruined and your body broken into pieces!"
"It's still too late to rein in the situation!"
All the counselors were shocked and angry.
They and the princes behind them were not afraid of Wang Yu's alliance, but what they were afraid of was that he would form a collusion in private.
After all, not everyone is interested in Luoyang and the imperial court. What they fear most is that their enemies will get this advantage.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu definitely don't want each other to capture Luoyang; the same goes for Zhang Miao and Liu Dai; Liu Biao himself can't reach Luoyang, but he doesn't want Liu Dai to succeed either. Although their territories are far apart, their blood ties are very close.
They are both members of the clan, and they all hope to imitate Han Guangwu. Of course, they do not want the other party to gain this huge political capital.
Although Wang Yu will gain prestige and reputation for initiating this alliance, he will also bring matters to the table.
The best choice for the celebrities was to form a consensus in the name of righteousness and force Wang Yu to choose between gaining fame and conquering Luoyang. As long as Luoyang was conquered by Wang Yu, it didn't matter who he was transferring it to.
Can taking over Luoyang and regaining Luoyang be the same thing? The latter is a great achievement and will be of great help to the future political career; the former is like a beggar and is too embarrassed to say it.
It would be better if Wang Yu doesn't let Luoyang go, just let's beat him together.
Therefore, the celebrities unanimously targeted Li Ru in order to force Li Ru to become angry and arouse public outrage, so that they could then turn their focus on Wang Yu, the rightful owner.
Who knew that Li Ru would come up with such a move.
Everyone was shocked and angry, but there was no way to deal with it for the moment. They could only persuade Li Ru to change his mind.
Their efforts were of course in vain, and Li Ru himself did not make this move willingly.
Suppressing the resentment in his heart, he faced everyone with a sneer and acted extremely unruly.
"General Wang, what do you say?" Everyone had no choice but to turn to Wang Yu for help.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Wang Yu said with a sad face: "If Dong Zhuo hadn't made this move, Yu would have sent his army northward long ago. Why bother to come here? You are all the great men of the world, so we can discuss a plan here.
Come up with a sure-fire plan to avoid any unexpected disaster."
Wang Yu was performing here, and Jia Xu behind him was holding back from rolling his eyes.
He knew very well that from the beginning to the end, the lord never thought about taking the emperor with him. God knows how he acted so realistically. And among so many experts present, no one came out to question him. It was really God's fault.
Don't open your eyes.
What Wang Yu said was sincere, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing what to do.
In fact, those who react quickly have already figured out the flavor of the conspiracy.
Since Li Ru said it in public, he had made up his mind. In this case, who would dare to fight Luoyang? If he won, the emperor would be killed; if he didn't fight, he would just watch Dong Zhuo escape, how could it be justified?
It's hard to say whether there was a conspiracy between Wang Yu and Li Ru, but there is no doubt that Wang Yu convened this alliance to find someone to share the responsibility, so as not to bear the reputation of being ineffective in rescue.
This is a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy!
This guy is really not an ordinary bad guy!
"Can you all express your opinions? No one is talking?" Wang Yu looked to both sides and began to call names: "Mr. Ju. General Yuan is the former leader of the alliance and the person whom Yu respects the most. Mr. Ju's name is also heard by Yu.
How about I ask Mr. Ju to talk about it first?"
Seeing Wang Yu's eyes turning around, Ju Shou secretly screamed that something was wrong. As soon as Wang Yu opened his mouth, he even cursed in his heart.
In the past, I heard rumors from outside that only talked about this boy's heroism and ruthlessness. But when I saw him today, I realized that this boy was very sinister and not at all inferior to his fellow celebrities.
What can I say? Let Dong Zhuo go? Attack Luoyang? Well, let's divert the trouble to the east.
Jushou turned to Tian Feng and asked humbly: "Brother Yuan Hao, what do you think?"
Tian Feng is from Julu, not far from Jushou's hometown of Guangping. The two are fellow villagers, and they are both famous people, and they have dealt with each other. How could he not know the little thoughts of his old friend?
He was also confused. This kind of problem was of great concern. How could he figure it out in a moment? If he said something wrong, not only would he be unlucky, but it would also implicate Han Jizhou. How could he speak casually?
He followed suit and turned to Dong Zhao, whom he had met once before. "Gongren is thoughtful and has many foresights. The world calls him a strange man, but he doesn't know..."
Both Ju Shou and Tian Feng were at their wits' end. What could Dong Zhao do? He could only continue to blame others, and the one he found was Cheng Yu, a fellow from Yanzhou... So Wang Yu's question was passed around like a flower drum.
No one wanted to pick up the fight, and the scene was quite funny.
Wang Yu is very funny. These people here are all very serious characters in the novel. Occasionally they laugh, it is the kind of smile that is well understood or understanding; or they put on a serious expression that is concerned about the country and the people.
, admonish the lord and so on.
But in fact, these famous counselors are also real people, capable of making secrets and making excuses. No one really thinks that the world is black and white, with justice and evil. What determines their stance is ultimately the camp they are in.
The celebrities were pushing and shoving and thinking to themselves, but they didn't realize what happened. However, Huang Gai became impatient. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Ru and shouted: "Okay, stop pushing around.
I want you to tell me, before discussing this matter, should we drive this sullen scholar out first?"
"That's right. General Huang's words make sense." At this moment, it was Xun Yu's turn to answer the question. He was wondering who to blame, but Huang Gai's interruption played into his hands. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Dr. Li,
How about I ask you to stay away for a while?"
"Why not?" Li Ru sneered, fluttered his sleeves, and walked out the door. He breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being criticized by thousands of people is really uncomfortable, especially if you have to bear it for someone else.
After Li Ru left, Xun Yu turned to his fellow villager Zhong Yao. This time, it was not to evade, but to ask a substantive question: "Brother Yuanchang, do you think Li Ru is bluffing, or does he really have a rebellious intention?
"
The Huangmen Shilang is a Langguan who works in the palace. He is a close servant of the emperor. He can convey edicts, but he is not a eunuch. He is a different person from the Xiaohuangmen. He is similar to the bachelor of the early Ming Dynasty, who is the emperor's secretary.
official.
Among everyone present, Zhong Yao knew the situation in the palace and Luoyang the best, and had the most say in this matter.
"People's hearts are unpredictable. Yao naturally doesn't know what he and Dong Zhuo are thinking, but..."
Zhong Yao looked up at Wang Yu and laughed miserably: "Dong Zhuo is too cruel. He can do anything if he is forced to do anything. You may not have received the news yet. Just before Yao left, Dong Zhuo followed Hanoi's example.
, wantonly extorting money in Luoyang, and those who do not comply will be accused of treason and implicate the clan... Luoyang is now in mourning."
Everyone's expression changed, not only because they were saddened by the death of Luoyang officials, but also because they were shocked by Dong Zhuo's unscrupulousness.
"Didn't he think highly of scholars before? Why suddenly..."
"The Duke of Zhou is so wise that he still fears rumors. Even when Wang Mang has not revealed his true face, he still behaves courteously. Dong Zhongying is just imitating the wisdom of the ancients."
Zhong Yao showed more and more hatred, and said through gritted teeth: "His crimes don't stop there? In order to collect money, he also dug up people's tombs, even the late emperor's tomb..."
"Wow!" Even Wang Yu was startled, and the others were in an uproar.
Dong Zhuo even dared to touch the emperor's tomb, which drove him into a panic, and he might actually commit regicide. In fact, Dong Zhuo had already killed an emperor before, and both the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother He were poisoned in March.
"There is no way. The emperor's safety is the most important. We cannot rush into the army hastily. We must consider the matter of rescuing the emperor in the long run. If we are not absolutely sure, we should not act lightly." Wang Yu had been waiting for this for a long time, and everyone wanted to say this.
The person who dared not say anything was none other than Xun Yu.
Although this was true, no one responded for a while. It wasn't until Wang Yu glanced at Yang Feng that the latter woke up from a dream and shouted: "That's right, don't push too hard, lest Dong thief
A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, endangering the emperor's safety."
There were those who took the initiative and those who agreed, so there was no pressure on the others. So, they all nodded in agreement, and the discussion was concluded.
Afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yu again. This young man's movements were what really attracted the most attention. His movements were related to the situation in the Central Plains.
