The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 272 Wandering (a big change for Luo Yang)

Suffering from Xiliang's bitter cold for many years, now in Luoyang, living a good life, even a little bit of cold wind is blocked by the high Luoyang city wall, and Xianyang Garden is like spring all the year round...

However, Li Ru was somewhat unable to adapt.

He even began to miss his days in Liangzhou.

Although the weather there is harsh and life is hard, the people there are pure and simple, they just want to fight for a morsel of food and just make a living.

It's not like the aristocratic families in Luoyang City, all of them have gloomy thoughts, sweet tongues, and swords in their mouths. Whenever there is a chance, they will attack every opportunity and try to steal power.

Since entering Luo, not only did Li Ru wear less and less clothes, he even lost a whole circle of weight.

He was not a fat person in the first place, but now that he has lost weight, his whole body is like a bamboo growing in the wind, tough and stubborn.

The only thing that hasn't changed are his eyes.

It's still so... breathtaking!
No matter whether you are a noble family or a veteran in the army, whenever you meet Li Ru's eyes, you will unconsciously have the idea of ​​retreating.

In addition, under Dong Zhuo's instruction, Li Ru also began to control the court.

Originally, in the court, Taifu had the highest status, above Sangong.

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, an emperor would only appoint one Tai Tuo throughout his life, and most of them were his teachers before he ascended the throne.

Once this person dies or is dismissed, the position of Taifu will no longer be established.

After all, other official positions can be replaced.

But the emperor's teacher can only have one!
Now Yuan Kai, the patriarch of the Yuan family, occupies the position of Grand Tutor and assists the country together with Dong Zhuo.

Secondly, the Sangongs who have rotated like a revolving lantern over the years, most of them don't have much power, they are just mascots and scapegoats.Since Dong Zhuo entered Luo, even the power of the court has been deprived.

The one who is really in charge of government affairs in the court is actually Shangshutai.The chief official is Shangshu Ling, under which there are several Shangshu.

But there is a strange example in this, that is, the Shang Shuling, who is the chief official, is only a thousand stones.But the five ministers under it are two thousand stone officials.

This has led to a situation where the official position of Shangshu Ling is generally held concurrently by officials with more than two thousand stones, otherwise the five Shangshu cannot be deterred.

But these old unspoken rules and systems were all abolished after Dong Zhuo joined Luo.

Today's major military and political affairs must be reported to Xianyang Garden, except for Dong Zhuo, all are decided by Li Ru.

A person's energy is limited. These days, Li Ru has to be busy with the paperwork, think about the situation in the world, and select available talents for Dong Zhuo.

In the last squint, he had to fight openly and secretly with the Luoyang family.

So, he lost weight.

Of course, not bald...

After a busy morning, Li Ru felt a little irritable in his heart, and couldn't calm down no matter what.

It wasn't because the weather was getting hotter, but because there was an emotion called anxiety in his chest, which made him unable to think quietly.

He hadn't experienced this feeling of anxiety for nearly twenty years.

For a person like Li Ru who is good at planning, anxiety and impatience are taboos. He does not allow himself to deal with things with emotions, because this will affect his judgment of the situation, which will lead to repeated tricks.

Especially at this time, Dong Zhuo seems to be in a state of boundless beauty, but he is actually approaching the edge of the cliff.The places that cannot be seen are full of potholes and traps, and if you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

Therefore, every time Li Ru acted, he acted as if he was walking on thin ice, as cautiously as if he was facing an abyss.

When it was time for lunch, the palace servants brought up the meal. Li Ru only glanced at it, then waved his hand, motioning for them to leave.

Without him, it was because Li Ru had no appetite.

The palace man bowed his head in response, and just turned around and took two steps, but was stopped by Li Ru.

In the end, Li Ru asked the palace servants to keep the meals, and ate with the bowls and chopsticks by himself.

Although he wasn't hungry, Li Ru didn't want to waste a grain of food because of his hard life in childhood.

Xiliang only has wind and sand, and the people living there, every morsel of food is precious.Li Ru used to be one of them, so he naturally understood this truth.

At the same time, he also understands that this bustling Luoyang City has created an illusion for everyone in it, that is, people seem to have the right to waste food.

Therefore, if these meals are not eaten by oneself, the palace people may also throw them away.

So even if he had no appetite, Li Ru still ate.

Just after eating two mouthfuls of mutton, Li Ru suddenly thought of Jia Xu, the guy who disappeared for no reason.

If Wenhe is here, even if he doesn't eat this meal, I'm afraid it won't be wasted!
Thinking of the scene of Jia Xu stretching out his hands to grab the flesh, even though he was as indifferent as Li Ru, he showed a smile.

But... Jia Wenhe, where have you been?
A certain person only asked you to go on an envoy to Liu Xuande, why is there no one there.

This is something that Li Ru rarely understands.

Given the circumstances at the time, Liu Xuande shouldn't have detained Jia Wenhe!
Then there is only one possibility, Jia Wen ran away with himself.

Of course, Li Ru also sent people to look for Jia Xu afterwards.

But whether it was detained by Liu Bei, or Jia Xu wanted to hide himself, it is impossible for the people sent by Li Ru to find him.

After finishing the meal, the irritability in Li Ru's heart still lingered.So he ordered the palace people to prepare bath soup, and he had to take a bath and change clothes.

After taking a hot bath, Li Ru walked out of Xianyang Garden and walked on the floor tiles of the imperial palace. The summer afternoon wind blew, and Li Ru's restless heart finally calmed down temporarily.

In fact, Li Ru fully understood why he was restless, but he was unwilling to face it.

Yesterday, Dong Zhuo recruited Li Ru and told him to do something.

And this incident was the source of Li Ru's restlessness.

Because of what Dong Zhuo asked him to do,

That is... to kill the deposed emperor Liu Bian with poison!

You know, Liu Bian was a man who had been the emperor, and he was also regarded as the former emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Even if everything is wrong, give him a face.

Especially at this moment, when the princes of the Guandong were about to welcome Liu Bian back, you, Dong Zhuo, sent someone to kill him. Wouldn't it be true that you are a traitor!

The previous act of abolishing the establishment of the emperor can barely be covered up with a series of excuses such as the late emperor's edict, the empress dowager who is not virtuous, or even imitating the sages... and so on.

Now, there is no need to cover up.

Because such things as poisoning the emperor cannot be cleared up at all.

Although Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, Huo Guang and others have abolished and established the emperor, they have not killed and abolished the emperor!
Unless...you can do it seamlessly like Lin Chao, and then kill all the insiders.

But the problem is, Dong Zhuo has no intention of covering up at all.

After the order was passed to Li Ru, his mood was beyond words.

He hated the aristocratic family, hated Confucianism, and even dreamed of uprooting them.

Because of the existence of these people, the people in this world dare not eat when they are hungry, and dare not clothe when they are cold.

He is willing to pay any price to get rid of these people!

However, deep in Li Ru's heart, he still has a dream of world governance after all.

It was not his purpose to poison the emperor,
neither should

It's his method...
