Chapter 535: Dong Zhuo's Ambition
General Wei's Mansion!
Dong Zhuo took square steps with his hands in his hands, anxiously looking at the direction of the door.
During this time, he was also proud.
From all the way to the princes to the power center of the Han Dynasty, and served as the general of Wei, undertaking the guard work of the imperial city.
It's a hub of power.
General Wei's duties were to guard the palace and be responsible for the security of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
This job has always been carried out by relatives of the emperor. The last General Wei was Dong Chong, that is, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong.
Although Dong Zhuo is also surnamed Dong, he can't fight with the Empress Dowager Dong.
An outsider is also an outlier to take on the role of General Wei who holds the whole palace in his hand.
Luoyang Palace has changed, and it is Guo Jia who has the greatest benefits outside, and this guy has the fattest Jizhou in his pocket.
But the one who got the most benefits from the court was Dong Zhuo.
This is also the so-called Southern Army, which is mutually reciprocal with the Northern Army led by Huangfu Song.
But the Praetorian Guard was completely reduced in the Battle of Mengjin, and what Huangfu Song had was just an empty shelf.
The same is true of Dong Zhuo's Southern Army, but he has already filled the coefficient of the Western Liang Army into the system of the Southern Army.
For a time, the Southern Army became the most important force in the Beijing Division.
After becoming the general of the guard, Dong Zhuo continued to coerce and lure, subdued the remnants of the Praetorian Guard, and gradually overthrew the chariot general Huangfu Song, becoming the first real general of the Beijing Division.
After this, Dong Zhuo's ambition gradually became unbearable.
With Long Wangshu, the power is endless.
Although Dong Zhuo has mastered the actual military power, he has not been able to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.
Because Shangshutai and Yushitai have always been in the hands of Yuan Kui and a group of courtiers of the big family.
Dong Zhuo revealed his intention to enter politics several times, but Yuan Kui refused.
In Yuan Kui's eyes, Dong Zhuo is a vulgar martial artist, what help can he have for the government.
It's better to be an honest general!
Therefore, Dong Zhuo was dissatisfied, and in order to monopolize the dynasty, Dong Zhuo decided to completely eradicate the Yuan family.
"Lord!"
Li Ru said goodbye to Wang Yun and hurriedly returned to Dong Zhuo's side.
"Wen You came back just in time, quickly tell me what Wang Situ said?"
Dong Zhuo was a little impatient.
Although Yuan Kui does not have military power, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are representatives of the family, and the sons and nephews of the Yuan family are also outside to hold the army.
Yuan Shao was appointed as the Taishou of Qingzhou, Yuan Shu was the Taishou of Nanyang, Yuan Yi was the Taishou of Shanyang, and Yuan Yin was the Taishou of Runan.
These people are all distributed around Luoyang, and they will immediately gather in Beijing as soon as there is any trouble.
This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo did not dare to move Yuan Kui easily.
"Don't worry, lord!"
Li Ru smiled and said, "Wang Situ is also very dissatisfied with Yuan Kui's power. He supported the lord's entry into the court and participated in politics. ”
Is it?
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed.
"Since Wang Situ said so, the matter of the old man's entry into the court is already a certainty."
He snorted and said, "Yuan Kui Pifu actually looks down on the old man, this time, the old man wants to let him know that he is powerful!" Feng Xian immediately led the Yulin army to outflank the Yuan family's mansion and wipe them out. ”
Never!
Li Ru hurriedly waved his hand.
Why not?
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru in surprise.
In the whole of Luoyang, he is already in power, and getting rid of a Yuan Kui is not a good deal?
Lord!
Li Ru hugged his fists and said: "The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, there are thousands of people. The children of the Yuan family are all in charge of heavy troops outside, if they make a rash attack, they will inevitably be counterattacked by the family, our foundation is unstable, and in the end it will inevitably cheapen other people. ”
Reasonable!
Dong Zhuo also nodded.
Yuan Kui is cunning and cunning, he divided his children one by one to the periphery of Luoyang and held heavy troops, I am afraid that this is the hand to guard.
"So what should we do?"
Dong Zhuo asked in a low voice.
He already regarded Li Ru as his own think tank.
Very simple!
Li Ru showed a smile on his face: "Yuan Kui is cunning and cunning, it is difficult to catch him, but those small ones may not be." Wang Situ means starting from a young age. ”
Starting from a young age?
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.
"Does the lord remember that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao attacked Jizhou some time ago?"
Li Ru reminded.
Of course I do!
Dong Zhuo nodded.
Jizhou is Guo Jia's territory, and Yuan Shao went to fight Guo Jia, which was dog eat dog.
Dong Zhuo was naturally happy to watch the excitement, and he couldn't wait to add fuel to the fire.
It's a pity that in the end, Guo Jia won a big victory and annexed Youzhou, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to retreat.
Li Ru smiled: "Although Jizhou is Guo Jia's sphere of influence, it is also the territory of the Han Dynasty. We can use this as an excuse to blame Yuan Shao and force him to rebel. ”
He paused and continued: "As long as Yuan Shao rebels, we can justifiably arrest Yuan Kui's family and ask for the guilt." The Yuan family is deeply rooted and has a close relationship with the major families in Luoyang, so we can wipe them out. When the time comes, the entire government will be the lord's. ”
Hahahaha!
Hearing Li Ru's persuasion, Dong Zhuo immediately burst out laughing.
"Wen You is really my ovary, after taking the old man to power, I will not treat you badly."
He patted Li Ru's shoulder hard.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Li Ru clenched his fists and bowed, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This was originally Chixiao's conspiracy, using Dong Zhuo, a reckless man, to clear out the major families around Jingshi, because these people were the biggest obstacle to Chixiao's power.
The next day, at the instigation of Wang Yun and Li Ru, Kong Rong, a subordinate of Sikong Seal, wrote a letter attacking Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's bad intentions in attacking Jizhou.
Why Kong Rong?
Because he is stupid, easy to be fooled, and has a sense of justice, he doesn't know the east, west, north and south after being bewitched by Wang Yun for a few words.
Kong Rong is a famous man in the dynasty, and Shilin is clear.
Yuan Shao took the blame for the Yuan family and beat Meng Jin for political stains, but it was easy for the new emperor to ascend the throne, amnesty the world, exempt the crime, and was nominated by Liu Yu to be the assassin of Qingzhou, not a few days ago. It is really unreasonable to dare to attack Jizhou at this time.
Qingliu and Wang Yun criticized one after another, although Yuan Kui did not come forward, Yang Biao and others, who were better with him, exonerated Yuan Shao.
The two sides are at loggerheads over the matter.
Emperor Han Xian didn't like Yuan Shao in his heart.
Why?
When he was still in Mengjin Guo Jia's army, this guy actually dared to attack Mengjin, and he didn't take his future son of heaven in his eyes at all.
Later, after ascending the throne, for the sake of the overall situation, the little emperor endured it.
Who knew that this guy didn't know how to lift?
Now that it's easy to become a Qingzhou assassin, the history still doesn't stop?
So Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waved his pen and ordered Yousi to arrest Yuan Shao and return to Beijing to ask for the crime?
Who said that the Son of Heaven was broad-minded?
The little prince was a little cautious.
He still remembers Yuan Shao's incident vividly, it's not that he didn't report it, the time has not come, and when the time comes, people will fall into the ground.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Shao may not be able to escape at this time.
