The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Above the Luoyang court, all the civil and military officials were furious, but they were all a little angry that Dong Zhuo had intervened at this time.

"Dong Zhuo, who do you think you are? You want to steal Chao Gang and claim the position of Prime Minister?"

Suddenly, a sharp shout sounded above the court hall.

Everyone looked around and saw none other than Sili Colonel Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen, courtesy name Bo Shen.He was born in Rang County, Nanyang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.From the official level to the Sili Xiaowei, he was granted the title of Protector of the Countryside.

He was once the superior of Dong Zhuo, Tao Qian and others, and was ordered to suppress the rebellion.

Zhang Wen is also a powerful figure in the Luoyang court today, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Now seeing Dong Zhuo, one of his former subordinates, actually trying to steal the imperial code, I don't know whether the sense of justice in his heart can't be controlled, or why, but he just sat down Can't stand it anymore.

Dong Zhuo was originally named Prime Minister and was very happy. He felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life and was very happy and proud.

Suddenly, he was struck by a roar, like thunder.

When I turned around, I saw it was no one else.

Zhang Wen!

Dong Zhuo was in a state of excitement.But then he became furious and shouted: "Zhang Wen, this is the imperial decree, do you dare to disobey it?"

"What imperial edict? This is obviously your edict. You, Dong Zhuo, dare to send troops to put the general under house arrest and control Luoyang. Do you really think that this will allow us to recognize you as the prime minister? You are dreaming!"

Zhang Wen was also glaring at Dong Zhuo at this moment, not showing any fear of Dong Zhuo.

"Okay, okay, you Zhang Wen. You used to be my superior to Dong Zhuo, and I respected you. But now, you don't obey the imperial edict. Li Que and Guo Si will take down Zhang Wen for us!"

Dong Zhuo said angrily.

As soon as Li Que and Guo Si heard the order, they immediately led the soldiers and rushed towards Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen still had some martial arts skills and struggled for a while, but Li Que and Guo Si had a large number of people, and Zhang Wen did not dare to be too presumptuous. Soon, Li Que and Guo Si put a knife on his neck.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with this guy?"

Guo Si kicked Zhang Wen and asked Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru in the crowd, and when he saw that Li Ru didn't speak, a sinister smile immediately appeared on his face and he said:

"Contradicting and disobeying the imperial edict is a crime worthy of death, but considering Zhang Wen's contribution, he was pulled down and beheaded!"

"promise!"

When Li Que and Guo Si heard Dong Zhuo's words, they immediately trembled, but they raised their legs and pulled Zhang Wen out.

"Dong Zhuo, you traitor, how dare you touch me?"

When Zhang Wen heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him, he immediately started to struggle in excitement, but was caught by the Xiliang soldiers.

The surrounding civil and military officials were also in a state of excitement.

"Dong Zhuo, how can you be so bold? That is Colonel Sili. Do you dare to kill him?"

"Dong Zhuo, release Colonel Sili immediately!"

"Dong Zhuo, let Zhang Wen go, you are committing a grave crime!"

The ministers in the court were blowing their beards, staring, and yelling at Dong Zhuo, but the Xiliang soldiers blocked him, and a group of people couldn't stop Zhang Wen from being pulled out.

"Ah~"

Suddenly a shrill scream sounded.

But Li Que and Guo Si entered again, already holding Zhang Wen's glaring head in their hands.

"He...he dared to kill Zhang Wen!"

"Dong Zhuo is a thief!"

All the civil and military officials were shocked.

Dong Zhuo smiled ferociously and laughed:
"You, an old man, dare to stand up and obstruct the Prime Minister's Kingdom. You really think I am the lieutenant general!"

All the civil and military officials were furious.

Li Ru, who was standing in the crowd, looked at the angry civil and military officials, but he didn't move at all.

Dong Zhuo's appointment of a foreign minister to the throne would inevitably make the civil and military officials unconvinced.

Then you need iron and blood methods to establish your authority.

"Who still refuses to obey the Prime Minister's Kingdom!"

Dong Zhuo's high-spirited voice resounded, but his eyes were fixed on all the civil and military officials.

All the civil and military officials were filled with anger, and the little emperor Liu Zhui was also trembling. At this time, a man stood up and shouted loudly:

"Dong Zhuo, you went to the palace with a sword and despised the laws of the Han Dynasty. What crime do you deserve? How did you become the prime minister of the country!!"

Everyone looked around and saw that the person who made the noise was none other than the Shinuo Long Sect.

Shi Yushi disturbed Longzong's righteous speech.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looked at the sword at his waist, and then a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Well, you, Shi Yushi, are disturbing the Dragon Sect. Your Majesty has granted our family the title of Prime Minister and specifically allowed us to wear swords in the palace. Do you have any objections?"

"Come here, the imperial censor is harassing the Dragon Sect and provoking the emperor's imperial edict. Take him out and chop him!"

Dong Zhuo was so evil that he shouted fiercely without waiting for the imperial censor to disturb Longzong.

As soon as Li Que and Guo Si listened to the order, they immediately led the soldiers and rushed towards the Shinuo Longzong.

Shi Chao Longzong struggled for a while, but Li Que and Guo Si had a large number of people. Soon, Li Que and Guo Si put knives on their necks, and then pulled him directly outside.

Accompanied by a scream.

Another big head caught the eyes of all the civil and military officials.
At this time, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei and other civil and military officials were extremely shocked and angry. They didn't understand why. Whoever dared to step forward today would probably be killed.

Liu Zhui, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was so frightened that he peed his pants when he saw Dong Zhuo being so violent.

"Our family is the Prime Minister of the country, who is still dissatisfied?" Dong Zhuo drew his sword and said angrily to all the civil and military officials.

There was no response. Dong Zhuo looked to one side and said:
"you?"

Immediately, several people who were looked at by Dong Zhuo quickly backed away and waved their hands.
Dong Zhuo looked to the other side and said:
"Or you?"

Immediately, the few people who were looked at by Dong Zhuo backed away and waved again.

"Haha, okay, since the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have no objections. The prime minister is very satisfied."

The court meeting dispersed, and the impact of this incident was obviously not over.

Prime Minister.

In the hall, Li Ru, Li Que, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others gathered. At this time, everyone had smiles on their faces. They were more or less, They were all made generals, and most of them were promoted to the third level. It can be said that life is full of joy.Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top, was even more happy and said with a smile:
"I believe that with today's example, all the princes in the court who dare to oppose me, Dong Zhuo, will have to consider whether their heads are enough to be chopped off."

"Wen You, our family is the prime minister, and you have made the greatest contribution. When our family comes back, we will ask the young emperor to confer you the title of Shangshu Ling to help our family handle the government affairs!"

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, but his whole person was indescribably high-spirited.

However, compared to Dong Zhuo's happiness, Li Ru frowned.

Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo:
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid that threats are not enough to get all the princes in the court to support my father-in-law. The current situation in the world is not stable. In Guandong there is Liu Xie recommended by Liu Biao, and in the north there is the dormant King of Wu Liu Yu!"

"So, if my father-in-law wants to sit firmly in the court, he still needs the help of some princes!"

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words.

When Dong Zhuo heard the outrageous words, he immediately put down his wine bottle and asked Li Ru:
"What does Wenyou mean by this? Please tell me in detail!"

Li Ru didn't hesitate and said to Dong Zhuo:
"Father-in-law, there were eight state pastors who entered Luoyang at the beginning. These eight state pastors were all the people the late emperor wanted to take care of. But suddenly the late emperor died, and the four Han clan clan members Liu Biao and Liu Yan were made kings, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao , Chen Gui, and Han Fu, the four prefecture governors made a vain trip and caught nothing, which can be said to be very depressing!"

"Ruxiang, if we can win over the four prefects of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu, then the princes of Guandong, we will also have four great prefects to help us. Plus our Guanzhong forces, we will be the No. [-] in the world. A force."

"So, according to Confucianism, my father-in-law should increase his efforts to win over the Yuan family, and also reward Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu as prefects of the four prefectures. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu have not been granted the prefectures of the four prefectures. King, but Liu Biao and Liu Yan were granted the title of king. I believe that if Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu were granted the title of king, they would definitely be willing to join us!"

"What? Conferring titles on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu?" As Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo and all the generals exclaimed in an uproar.

"Wen You, aren't you drunk? In the past, the Han Dynasty stipulated that no one with the surname Liu could be crowned king. If he was crowned king, the whole world would punish him!"

Dong Zhuo quickly dropped the wine bottle and asked Li Ru in surprise.

Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's question, but a sneer appeared on his face and said:
"Father-in-law, when did this happen? Do you still care about the ancestral system? People of the opposite sex cannot be crowned kings. But now that two emperors of the Han Dynasty stand side by side and a prince is in the north, can the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty be explained clearly?"

"Father-in-law, the world is in chaos. There is no doubt about it. Although King Wu has returned to the north, we cannot ignore it. Liu Biao and Liu Yan are members of the Han clan, and they are nominally more popular than us in Luoyang. We have a foreign surname. , all parties in the world must be on Liu Biao's side. Instead of doing this, we might as well mess up the big men and get rid of the careerists. The opposite sex cannot be crowned king, so we can make the king of the opposite sex. In this way, the world with the surname Liu will be dignified. Only when everything is gone can we legitimately grow stronger."

"Furthermore, if Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu are the governors of the four prefectures, they will be tied to us in Luoyang, and our power will become stronger. At the court, there are Yuan Feng, With Yuan Wei here, things will be stable."

"Even if Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui and Han Fu accept the title of king, father-in-law, you can go one step further and also grant the title of king. Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, and his breathing suddenly became rapid at this moment.

What did he hear?
Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu were the prefects of the four states who accepted the title of king. Can Dong Zhuo go one step further and also grant the title of king?

Confess the king of Qin?
"Snapped!"

Dong Zhuo excitedly slapped the table, excited and excited.

"Okay, okay, okay, in this way, once the opposite sex is crowned king, the dignity of the Han Dynasty will be wiped out, and our family can also be crowned King of Qin, and even later, our family can go one step further, Wen You, this plan is very clever, very wonderful Ah, you can accomplish it with one stroke!”

Dong Zhuo repeatedly praised Li Ru's strategy.

Although the title of king for the opposite sex only consisted of a few words, at this moment, even Dong Zhuo understood its meaning.

Dong Zhuo was very happy, extremely happy.

If we talk about the pie that Li Ru had drawn for him before, he had invaded the government and the public and occupied the territory of the former Qin State, which was already as high as the sky.

But this moment is different.

If it is feasible, what's wrong with even ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?
"Since my father-in-law agrees, then, next, my father-in-law needs to consider how to treat people like Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei!"

Li Ru took a deep breath and said to Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Li Ru's heart was not calm, and even agitated.

The king with a different surname!
Once this king is revealed, if Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu accept the title of king, then the situation in the world will really change, and the world will no longer be dominated by the Liu family.

The world will repeat the scenes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Dong Zhuo took Li Ru's proposal seriously, and even rewarded Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei in court on the second day.

Yuan Feng was granted the title of Marquis Pingyu, and he was granted the title of Lord of Pingyu. He was able to live in the city and house ten thousand households, and he was rewarded with twenty maidservants and 1000 million yuan in money.

Yuan Kui was granted the title of Marquis of Shangcai, with a population of 1000 households, and a reward of [-] maids and [-] million yuan.

Dong Zhuo granted Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the County, which caused a great sensation in the court.

However, Dong Zhuo's four imperial edicts shocked the court immediately.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Chen Gui, and Han Fu all had great achievements in sweeping away the Yellow Turbans, so they had to be sealed.

Confessed Yuan Shu as King of Han and took over Yuzhou!
Granted Yuan Shao the title of King of Qi and the territory of Qingzhou!
Confess Chen Gui as King of Lu and take over Xuzhou!
Confessed Han Fu as King of Jin and took over Jizhou!
As soon as these four imperial edicts came out, the court was shocked, and the civil and military officials were also shocked and angry. They all stood up to block it, saying that it violated the ancestral system and was absolutely impossible.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei were both surprised. Dong Zhuo was granted the title of four kings for the first time, but the Yuan family actually won the two thrones of Han King and Qi King.

However, although Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei were surprised in their hearts, they still spoke righteously on their faces, rejecting Dong Zhuo and even discouraging Dong Zhuo.

However, Dong Zhuo ignored him and directly suppressed the court forcefully, pushing for people with different surnames to be crowned kings.

That night, countless aristocratic families in Luoyang City suffered from insomnia.

Yuan Mansion is brightly lit.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei sat at the top, and all the direct descendants of the Yuan family gathered in the hall.

"Today, Dong Zhuo wants to be crowned king. What do you think?"

Yuan Feng was the first to open the topic. At this time, all the elders of the Yuan clan were very excited.

"Master, since the imperial court wants to grant the title of king to our Yuan family, then we must be the next ones. The King of Han and the King of Qi are also big countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. If we are really granted the title of king, our Yuan family will be able to take a step further. Got it!"

An old man from the Yuan clan with a white beard couldn't help but say.

"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can't miss it!"

Another member of the Yuan clan came forward to express his views.

Li Ru's strategy is very vicious, and human nature cannot be tested.

Especially this step, becoming the king, is so tempting.

Yuan Wei took a deep breath and said: "Since everyone feels that our Yuan family should accept it, then let's do it and spread the news to the highway and Benchu ​​immediately!"

After a pause, Yuan Wei said again:

"However, the Yuan family must not be the first to do this. After all, this is a treasonous and unethical act. The first one to do so will definitely be punished with words and writings by those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty. They will send people to Jizhou and Xuzhou. Let Han Fu and Chen Gui come down first!"

After Yuan Wei finished speaking, all the elders of the Yuan clan pondered for a moment, then immediately nodded in unison.

Indeed, being the first to stand up and claim the title of king is definitely not a good thing.

However, the first one stood up and became king, and the rest also stood up, which was an uncontrollable trend.

(Is anyone still watching?)
