What is the greatest weapon of literati at this time?It is not integrity, nor poetry and songs, but pen and mouth.And Chen Lin's writing skills are undoubtedly sharp and gorgeous, even if people don't believe the content written in it, they have to be conquered by the literary talent in it.This petition letter to the imperial court was sent to Luoyang on the second day of the emperor's new concubine's banquet, which made people wonder if Yuan Shao had already calculated all of this, and the first day he received the petition letter Immediately, Dong Zhuo summoned all his civil and military officials to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss how to deal with it.In fact, based on Dong Zhuo's own thinking, he didn't have to accept Yuan Shao's petition at all. With his current prestige and strength, who should the world be afraid of?The most terrifying thing in the world today is himself.But Li Ru obviously didn't think so, he persuaded Dong Zhuo, "It's good that Xiangguo is not afraid of anyone in the world, even as long as Xiangguo is willing, even the whole of Hebei has the power to compete, but Xiangguo can consider that the time is right now." " Dong Zhuo squinted at him, and said indifferently: "The timing?" "Yes, it's the timing." Li Ru nodded heavily, "You should know that all the princes in the world are staring at Luoyang, and the Xiangguo occupies the emperor for the benefit of the princes. However, this Luoyang does not belong to Xiangguo alone. If Xiangguo made a careless move, the ship might capsize in the gutter. The instability of Luoyang today is not due to the lack of deterrence from the Xiangguo, but some people are still unwilling to give up, and even many of them are still We put our hopes on the powers of the princes outside. Whether it is Cao Cao in Xuzhou or Yuan Benchu, we all know that they have connections with some ministers in the court. Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful the Prime Minister is, they have Hope will jump up and down in Luoyang, disturbing the situation in Luoyang, now there is no need to retreat to Chang'an, Luoyang is our main business, and Luoyang is the capital of the emperor Chang'an as the western capital, which can echo each other, only the two sides are stable at this time Xiangguo is not afraid of other things. Although these people in Luoyang are just clowns who have no power or soldiers in their hands, even if there is a disturbance, it is impossible to hurt Xiangguo, but if they are not careful, they may still make a big mistake and cause Luoyang riots. Sometimes they echo the outside world, even if the future can be stabilized, we have to pay a huge price, if we don't cut off the hope of these people, let them have nothing to ask for the outside world, but only submit to the prime minister, that's okay It’s much easier to just focus on one side.” As those courtiers who still have extravagant expectations for a big man, or many of them are ignorant, it is of course impossible to treat Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly. Li Ru knows this very well, and Dong Zhuo also It is very clear that Dong Zhuo is completely at ease with regard to those Xiliang veterans, such as Li Jue and Guo Si who have been away for a long time now?Of course it's impossible, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to their side in order to check and balance. After all, people's hearts will change, but as long as they have absolute power and use the way to control them well , this crooked thinking is nothing at all, and in the same way, as long as these courtiers are cut off from the idea of ​​contact with the outside world, it can indeed make the situation in Luoyang more stable, which is naturally very beneficial to Dong Zhuo, after all, these courtiers may not have real power But they have enough influence, and behind them there are family forces that can be united when necessary, so people dare not underestimate them. The best way to do this is to play a trick between them.Don't these courtiers think that those princes can save the little emperor and the Han Dynasty?But if they all surrendered to Dong Zhuo, even if they just expressed their feelings on the table, everyone knew that this was just a means to paralyze Dong Zhuo, but they would not be able to accept such a means, and would think it was a kind of betrayal. The goal will naturally be achieved.What Li Ru said is not wrong, Dong Zhuo also thinks about it, and feels that it is indeed the case, so naturally he will not refuse to listen, but the so-called listening at the same time means that it is always good to listen to some opinions, especially since this is also a war, calling these generals Come here, maybe we can discuss a better way to deal with it.In addition, I have to explain to them some things to pay attention to in the future. After all, Li Ru also spoke to Dong Zhuo. Perhaps it was because of the victory in the Battle of Hulao that Dong Zhuo's name was in full swing. The meritorious generals have become a lot more arrogant one by one. It is definitely not a good phenomenon if they used to be strong and could not lose their momentum in front of those people in Luoyang, but now they come from the bottom of their hearts. , Need to beat and beat, so there is today's meeting.Dong Zhuo summoned all the core figures under him, Hua Xiong, Li Su, Yang Ding and others from the Xiliang Army, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others from the Bingzhou Army. Here, Li Ru is naturally still the first under Dong Zhuo. Even though Dong Zhuo's trust in him seems to have declined, he is still Dong Zhuo's most important counselor, and with him, he has always been very loyal to Dong Zhuo. Helpfully.But to be honest, with such a large group of generals, there are not many who can really talk at the critical moment. The generals of the Xiliang Army don't like to use their brains very much except on the real battlefield. Although Zhang Liao and the others can think about problems, they don't speak casually. Lu Bu wants to act in a low-key manner, and Zhang Liao is basically taking care of him now. If he doesn't say anything about Zhang Liao, he naturally has nothing to say. Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other. With a glance, there is a flash of strange light.In the end, it was confirmed what Li Ru said, accepted Yuan Shao's petition, and even made it public to the world. Dong Zhuo had to personally present the little emperor to ask Yuan Shao to be a former general. I don't believe that the courtiers in Luoyang would be indifferent.Just when Li Ru had just finished speaking and most of the audience were relaxed, Dong Zhuo looked at the right time and suddenly said in a deep voice: "A certain family heard that some people in the army in Luoyang have been rampant recently, even worse than before. That's all. After all, this happens from time to time. The Xiliang Army came from Liangzhou. The military discipline is originally loose. Usually, it is not too restrictive, but it is only limited to ordinary soldiers, not you who have already The generals who entered the hall in Luoyang, if those subordinates made a mistake, they can take it out and take the blame, and I have nothing to do with it, but if something happens to you, you will lose face outside." The words fell back, but the words became more and more serious, especially when Dong Zhuo's eyes stayed on Hua Xiong and other rough men for the longest time, it was obvious that he was talking about them.However, what he said was aimed at them, and he was also beating the entire Xiliang army. After all, with their beginnings, there was such a sign. It was easy to clean up; as for the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu was in excellent control, and who would dare to move around with his deterrence, which invisibly increased Dong Zhuo's pressure and fear, and of course he would not show it at this time. "It's just a first offence, so I don't care about it, but this time is not an example. If there is a next time, don't blame me, Dong Zhongying, for being cruel and not thinking about old love!" Dong Zhuosen glanced coldly at all the generals present. On them, even if they are all men who have been in bloody battles and experienced many battles, they can't help but feel chills when they are caught by such eyes. For a Xiliang veteran like Hua Xiong, during this period of time, Dong Zhuo's words have indeed appeared. This kind of phenomenon, it is inevitable to feel guilty at this time, and now Dong Zhuo's eyes swept him away, he followed Dong Zhuo very early, and the latter had a lot of prestige in his heart. It's getting wet. "Do you understand?" Immediately, everyone present, including Lu Bu, tremblingly agreed, but no one knew whether Lu Bu was really like this or pretending to be like this. Dong Zhuo didn't care about it. He nodded with satisfaction.
