The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Within a day, Yuan Kai came to Dong Zhuo's gate again.However, this time his mood has changed greatly from when he came last night. Last night he came to see Dong Zhuo more as a colleague to intercede, but today it is different. In order to keep the Yuan family, he had to ask The barbarian from Xiliang, who had never been taken seriously by him, bowed his head and agreed to his outrageous request.

Home and country, under the balance, still choose home.Since those who were officials in the same dynasty have abandoned him, there is no need for him to give up his family for the sake of a so-called loyal minister.What's more, he is still very clear that even if he really abandons his family for the country, he is afraid that after his Yuan family falls, other courtiers will be intimidated by Dong Zhuo's power and agree to his decision to abolish the establishment.

Since everything is irreversible, why bother to make unnecessary sacrifices for the whole family?It was precisely because of this thought that Yuan Kai finally persuaded himself to come to compromise with Dong Zhuo.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that these were just far-fetched reasons, and the real reason was that he was afraid.In this era where everyone puts family interests first, there are very few loyal ministers and martyrs who really dare to sacrifice their families for the country!

After the ox cart stopped, Yuan Kai stepped up to the gate of Dong Zhuo's mansion, cupped his hands and said to the sergeant in front of the gate: "Please let me know that Grand Tutor Yuan Kai has something to ask to see Dong Shijun."

In fact, the guards in front of the gate have already recognized his identity. After all, everyone has noticed the Yuan family's troubles in the past few days, not to mention that he even visited the gate last night.But they had also been instructed long ago that once members of the Yuan family were present, they would presume that the lord was not there and ask them to wait outside.So I said it like this: "Teacher Yuan came at an unfortunate time, my master just happened to be away on business."

"What? Did he say where he went?" Yuan Kai was startled and asked hastily.He couldn't waste any more time. Once there was a conflict in the family, it would be over.

"I don't know about that. But after dark, the lord should come back." The guard looked at the already dark sky and said.

"Then I'll wait a little longer and ask the general to lead me in." Yuan Kai said again.But this time, the other party couldn't agree: "No, my lord once had a strict order not to allow anyone to enter the mansion at will, please forgive me."

"This..." Seeing that the other party's answer was so decisive, Yuan Kai felt a little suspicious in his heart. Is it true that Dong Zhuo is not in this house?Or are you deliberately not seeing yourself for some unknown reason?But now there are only a few people here, and he would not dare to break through the door no matter what, and he was unwilling to leave like this, so he simply restrained his temper and stood in front of Dong Zhuo's door waiting. See if Dong Zhuo is here.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was in the house, had learned that Yuan Kai was away, and he showed a very disdainful smile: "These people are so self-righteous. When I first escorted the emperor into Luoyang, they didn't take I put it in my eyes and treated it indifferently. But when I raised troops to control the entire Luoyang, the attitude of these people changed completely. Now, Yuan Kai is so self-righteous in the matter of abolishing the establishment. If I don’t let him suffer , how can I let him have a long memory?"

"What my father-in-law said is that they are too self-righteous. This time, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty must see the fate of his Yuan family, so that people will not dare to disobey our orders!" Li Ru agreed from the side.When the two were alone, Li Ru still called Dong Zhuo his father-in-law, not the lord, so that the relationship between the two seemed closer.

"By the way, has Lu Bu made any changes recently?" After being silent for a while, Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of the Tiger Future who had just joined him.If this person is used well, it will definitely be a great help, no matter how hard it is in the world to compete with him, Dong Zhuo.But if you don't use it well, you can easily hurt yourself.So even though Lu Bu had surrendered, Dong Zhuo still didn't dare to use him too much, but let him lead troops to train and do some chores to maintain the place.

"This Lu Fengxian is very quiet. Every day, he trains his men and horses as usual, and wanders around, but he dare not communicate with the officials of the court. Depending on the situation, he will not do any conspiracy behind the scenes. " Li Ru was very clear about this matter, and now Dong Zhuo replied when he asked.

"Well, then let him hang out for a few more days. If there is nothing wrong with him, and I have already established a position in the court, it will not be too late to use him. This man is very skilled in martial arts, and there will always be times when he will be needed in the future."

"Yes, my son-in-law will let people watch him." Li Ru agreed.

Afterwards, the Weng and the son-in-law talked about other things until it was completely dark and the time was already in the middle of the day, so they asked people to visit again to see if Yuan Kai was still at the door.

After a while, the man came to report that he was still there.Only then did Dong Zhuo nod in satisfaction: "It seems that he is sincerely begging me to let him in."

"But father-in-law, we were told before that you were not at the house, but now we let him in, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate." Li Ru hurriedly persuaded: "Why don't we let him come back tomorrow?"

"No, just see him like this. I just want him to know that I made him wait in front of the door on purpose, and see what he can do." Dong Zhuo shook his head but rejected the suggestion.During this period of time, he has received a lot of anger from Yuan Kai, so he will naturally return it to the other party this time.Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Ru stopped trying to persuade him.

After Yuan Kui heard this, he sighed deeply in his heart, he never imagined that when he was old, he would still suffer such prestige.This Dong Zhuo was indeed very domineering, he dared to let himself, the current imperial tutor, wait at the door for a long time, but in the end he didn't even give him the least face, so he recruited himself in casually.Although he was angry in his heart, under such a situation, he could only endure it. Who asked him to ask for anything?

Still in the living room yesterday, Dong Zhuo met Yuan Kai.As soon as they met, he said jokingly: "Teacher Yuan, why did you come to the door again? Please forgive me if the old matter is brought up again. It is related to the strict laws of the country. Dong Zhuo will never agree to your unreasonable request."

Yuan Kai was even more aggrieved when he heard this. The other party didn't even say a reason for making him wait at the door, but went straight to the topic of the matter, which clearly didn't take him seriously.However, at this time, some matters of face can be put aside, he can only smile bitterly: "Today, Yuan came here for another matter, which is more important than what Dong Shijun said. Several times the big event!"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Dong Zhuoqiang suppressed the joy in his heart, still looking calm.

"It's about the establishment of another emperor. I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, and found that today's emperor really does not have the ability to govern the world, and he is not worthy of being an emperor at all. On the contrary, King Chen Liu is more inferior to the previous emperor. I must let him be the emperor. It will be even more beneficial to our Han court." Gritting his teeth, Yuan Kai said the words he was least willing to say, which symbolized that he had compromised with Dong Zhuo.

But Dong Zhuo's expression was once again beyond his expectation. He thought that after hearing this, Dong Zhuo would be very happy and very proud, after all everything will be as he wished.But now, after hearing his words, Dong Zhuo still looked calm and just nodded.

This made Yuan Kai's heart tense: "Why, has Mr. Dong changed his mind?"

Dong Zhuo smiled: "Since I, Dong Zhuo, have proposed the establishment of another emperor, I will not change it. It is not in vain to have the Taifu's support so straightforwardly. Bi, that's just a naughty boy, abolishing him and setting up King Chenliu is exactly what everyone expects, and this matter is naturally to be done. But..."

"But what?" Now that Yuan Kui has made this decision, he naturally hopes that Dong Zhuo will accept him quickly, and then erase certain things, so his attitude is even more urgent.

And Dong Zhuo also saw this, which is why he seemed so relaxed. After being questioned by him, he said with some embarrassment: "I have advocated the abolition of the establishment before, and it seems bad to bring up the old matter now. Since This time, Yuan Taifu, you also have the same opinion, so this time it is up to you to initiate this matter."

"What?" Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Yuan Kai's face changed drastically in shock.It was extremely rare for him to agree to this matter, he did not expect Dong Zhuo to make an inch and ask him to propose the abolition of the establishment, wouldn't this force him to become a courtier?

But after seeing Dong Zhuo's eyes with obvious threats, Yuan Kai's sliver of courage dissipated again.Now he has nowhere to go, if he wants to keep Yuan's family safe, he has to bow his head, even if it is something against his will, he has to do it.Otherwise, I'm afraid that within a few days, everyone in the Yuan family will be thrown into prison. At that time, my charges may not be much better than this.

Struggling in his heart, Yuan Kai finally bowed his head again: "Then... just like Dong Shijun's intention, I will present to the court and ask the emperor to step aside as King Chenliu."

"There is no need for the above form. Tomorrow will be held at the court meeting, and please ask Yuan Taifu to explain everything in front of the courtiers." Dong Zhuo made such a request, which was to completely use Yuan Wei as a gun.

But now, how can he refuse?The situation at home is forcing him, and waiting in front of the door has worn away all his remaining courage, and now he has no choice but to follow Dong Zhuo's wishes.So in the end, he nodded again: "Then according to Dong Shijun's intention, I will propose this matter tomorrow..." After saying this, he only felt that his eyes turned black, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden. age.

Only then did Dong Zhuo nod in satisfaction: "Teacher Yuan is so considerate of the world, it's really a blessing for me. Then you go back and prepare." But Yuan Kai ordered to see off the guests without waiting for Yuan Kai to mention his request!
