Chapter 36 The powerful minister Dong Zhuo
At the beginning of May of the second year of the first peace.
He was ordered to send troops to Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places to Li Dao's army, won a victory, and returned to Chang'an.
This time, Li Wei led the army to defeat Zhu Jun's rebels, drove Chen Liuzhang Miao, and captured Chen Liucheng, which lasted more than four months.
It can be said that it is invincible, chasing and fighting all the way, and is invincible.
The next morning, the morning dawn and the sun rose.
Changle Palace, in front of the jade steps.
Li Li and several generals stood quietly at the foot of the jade steps, waiting for the summons of Dong Zhuo, the prime minister.
In the Xiliang Legion, the young little emperor had no weight and was insignificant.
And Dong Xiangguo, the middle father of the young emperor, is the most powerful person in the world, and he is also the most convincing commander of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
Li Li has had a profound understanding of this point for several months.
Although Dong Zhuo did not leave a good reputation in the annals of history, it can be described as a bad record, a heinous crime, and a list of unspeakable.
However, at present, his position in the eyes of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army is irreplaceable, and he is undoubtedly the most admired existence, and he is also a big hero in the eyes of most Xiliang soldiers.
Everyone in the world knows that the Xiliang Army is brave, murderous and bloodthirsty, and constantly killing, but these are not the embodiment of the strength of the Xiliang Army.
The weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected; This is the eternal truth of the world.
If Dong Zhuo did not dominate the government and the opposition and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, how could the Xiliang Army be reckless and dominate the world.
All this is because their commander is Dong Xiangguo, the middle father, a powerful and powerful man who sleeps in the Dragon Court at night, and looks down on the world.
Wolves walk thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat.
It was because of a fearless and fearless commander like Dong Zhuo who led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that they were able to occupy the eastern capital Luoyang and gallop across the Central Plains.
Even if they were forced to retreat from Guanzhong by the alliance of princes, they were still able to threaten the west and lie on the ground; Shocked the princes of the world, and did not dare to touch its edge.
The Han Dynasty has been inherited for four hundred years, and the most glorious and powerful moment of the Xiliang Legion is at this time.
Dong Zhuo is not dead, who dares to be the hero in the world!
However, most of the generals of the Xiliang Army also knew that since Dong Xiangguo moved the capital to Chang'an, he neglected military affairs and was content with pleasures.
Recently, he has been even more absurd, lingering in the beauty of flowers all day long, pro-villain and distant generals, showing the state of twilight, the tiger is old, and the majesty is no more.
In addition, Dong Zhuo has no children, and the old man still hugs the concubines who are younger than his daughters all day long, and fights all day long.
But for a person of his age, even if the sword is not old, it is impossible for him to create a few more sons.
So he increasingly relied on his righteous son Lu Bu, rewarded Lu Bu at two ends in three days, added officials to the knighthood, and made marquis worship generals, and was extremely favored.
Dong Zhuo treated Lu Bu so favorably, which also made a group of Xiliang generals jealous of Lu Bu, and they were incompatible with this tiger from Bingzhou, and they stayed away from him, unwilling to be with him, and excluded Lu Bu from the Xiliang army.
Therefore, don't look at Lu Bu who is now very favored by Dong Zhuo, as if he is the person with the highest official rank below Dong Zhuo; However, his command was still the original 10,000 wolf horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers privately recruited.
30,000 soldiers and horses seems to be a lot, but in fact, for generals such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, this is really nothing.
Because the soldiers and horses directly or indirectly controlled by them were not 100,000 but 80,000, far exceeding Lu Bu, the "high-ranking official" who rode on their heads.
············
Under the jade stairs.
Li Li had been waiting for half an hour, and there was still no little yellow door announcing his entry into the Hajj.
Under the porch behind him, the tower-like tall body of Dianwei stood coldly, not squinting, but the corner of his eye was observing the surrounding situation all the time.
Previously, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other captain-level generals had already entered the court to discuss politics, while Li Li, Fan Yong, Guo Meng and others were too low to be qualified to participate in court politics.
In fact, since Dong Zhuo took control of the government, many of the Han rituals have been abolished by him.
This may be the origin of the later Confucian scholars in the world who cursed Dong Zhuo for causing chaos in the court, so that the Han Dynasty, which had been inherited for more than 400 years, collapsed in etiquette.
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, ordinary school captains were originally not qualified to go to the court and participate in court politics.
However, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other generals can go to the court in a grand manner, although they are still nominally captains, but they hold a fortune comparable to Jiuqing, and the real power in their hands is even more, not a general but better than a general, and the power is extremely powerful.
It is said that Li Dao and other generals are in the position of the court higher than Jiuqing's position, second only to the four major lieutenant generals of the Xiliang Army, and Lu Bu often stands behind Dong Zhuo, so Li Dao ranks fourth among the military generals, and his status is transcendent.
Standing at the foot of the jade steps, Li Li had a lot of historical records about Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army in his mind.
Although many of them are records in the romance, and the authenticity still needs to be studied, they can be used as evidence, so that he can judge the current situation.
"Xiangguo has an order, Xuanlong Xiang Battalion Army Sima Li Li will make a pilgrimage to see you!"
When Li Li was distracted, he was startled by a sharp and piercing yin and yang sound suddenly coming from the steps.
It's scary!
It looks like a man and a woman, neither yin nor yang, and the pitch is extremely high, which sounds creepy.
"No, Li Li Ling!"
Although Li Liming knew that Dong Zhuo was going to summon him in the court, he still made a gesture of bowing down to receive the order.
No way, although Dong Zhuo is not the emperor now, his words and deeds are still better than the emperor, a veritable uncrowned king!
There are really a lot of jade steps in front of this palace, there are ninety-nine jade steps, and there are ten platforms among them.
Those who go up to the temple cannot go up the stairs by leaps and bounds, but must go up step by step in a smooth and orderly manner.
Li Li didn't know where the "Shang Dynasty" came from, but he stepped on the jade steps and walked all the way up, and he figured it out in an instant. With so many steps, it is really a veritable "upper court"!
Walking up to the hall and taking off his shoes, Li Li followed the small yellow door and walked quickly into the main hall.
"Weichen Li Li visited Xiangguo and Bixia, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
In the center of the main hall, Li Li bowed in armor and saluted.
Yes, Li Li knew that he would go to the court today to wait for Dong Zhuo to summon him, so he deliberately came in armor, but he did not wear a blade.
Bow down, it's okay to talk about it, if you want to be real, Li Li will definitely not grovel to Dong Zhuo and a little kid in a dragon robe.
Since his rebirth, he has not knelt down to anyone, including his uncle Li Dao.
After saluting, Li Li obviously felt that hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at him, but as for what these eyes meant, he didn't care.
The little emperor on the dragon chair didn't seem to care about Li Li's arrogance, or he had long been accustomed to the arrogance of the Xiliang generals.
On the Taishi chair under the dragon chair, Dong Zhuo, who was over fifty years old, was bloated and stuffed the huge Taishi chair. A pair of lying silkworm eyebrows, small eyes, a big head and a thick neck, and half black and white sideburns, looking hemp gray.
"Xiangguo Bixia", with this word, it is enough to make Dong Zhuo happy.
Suddenly, he looked down at Li Li with a smile. When I saw Li Liying's handsome appearance and tall and burly armor, I felt very pleasing to the eye.
"Flatten. Li Li, you're a childish nephew, right?
Dong Zhuo's flat body made Li Li immediately look stunned, and then he reacted quickly and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
"Xiangguo, my subordinates and General Li Wei are indeed uncles and nephews, and my uncle treats me as if I was his own, and Li Li must remember it. It's just ······ A little family matter, how dare you worry about Lao Xiangguo, thank you for your care! ”
Indeed, the reason why Dong Zhuo asked this question was not because he didn't know that Li Li was Li Dao's nephew, but because there was another reason.
After the army returned to the city last night, the Li Li brothers followed Li Dao back to the house with their servants and maidservants. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, he and his younger brother Li Xian were kicked out of their homes by Li Wei's main room, Yang, and were abused by Yang on the street. Last night, the two Li Li brothers stayed overnight in the barracks.
Li Wei's mansion is located in the downtown of Chang'an Street, and it is also a very prominent existence in Chang'an City. The matter of the Yang family driving away the Li Li brothers on the street could reach the ears of the Manchu Dynasty ministers in less than half an hour.
As the commander of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo will naturally know about this matter as soon as possible, so he will have this question in the court.
