Not long after Zhang Yan uttered his voice, a young voice came in from outside the door.

Soon, Zhao Yun pushed the door open and passed the water glass on the table to Zhang Yan.

……

"My lord, you have been in a coma for the past three days."

"During the past three days, you have barely had enough rice, and you only drink some hot water occasionally when you are half asleep and half awake."

"If it weren't for your steady breathing and your body showing no signs of weakness, we wouldn't even have thought you were going to wake up!"

……

"Oh, yes, and..."

"We are now inside the checkpoint of Sishuiguan. The soldiers of our Kwantung coalition army have basically wiped out all the remnants of the enemy in this area. The grain road between Sishuiguan and Chenliu has also been opened... Our soldiers are stationed now. Inside this level, you don't have to worry."

……

After briefly introducing the recent situation to Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun stood aside obediently and took on the role of assistant and bodyguard.

Zhang Yan was attacked before, but he and several of Zhang Yan's generals were either seriously injured or had missions being carried out, so no one was present at the critical moment.

This kind of dereliction of duty made Zhao Yun feel guilty all the time, so during the few days when Zhang Yan was in a coma, he has been guarding the safety of his lord outside the room.

……

"Oh, are we at Sishui Pass now?"

"How did the battle go that day? Won?"

……

"By the way, if the Xiliang army guarding the pass has been completely defeated, in the past few days, have Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the others organized troops to infiltrate Luoyang, or investigated the intelligence of Xiliang army Dong Zhuo and others in Luoyang? "

As if gradually remembering the previous events, Zhang Yan rubbed his forehead wearily, rested for a while, then turned his head to look at Zhao Yun again, and asked in a low voice what happened before.

……

"This……"

……

As if there was something unspeakable, Zhao Yun's expression froze at that moment:

"Going to Luoyang to inquire about information...not really."

"The main reason is that, my lord, as the leader of the coalition army, you have not shown up since the battle that day, and Generals Cao and Yuan were worried that your injury would affect morale, so they temporarily concealed the matter."

"The current army has not seen you for a long time, and your status is a bit special, so even with General Yuan's reputation among the princes, it is difficult for him to act without your permission. ordered."

……

"and also……"

As he spoke, Zhao Yun could not help but sigh.

"Well, there is another reason, which is a bit complicated. Why don't you take a good rest tonight, and I will protect you to go out and have a look tomorrow morning?"

"You have seen it with your own eyes, and you know why the generals didn't take the initiative..."

……

Chapter 1 Why is the surname Liu in the world?

Dong Zhuo has been thinking about a problem recently.

Why does the world have to be the king of the Liu family?

……

It has been a long, long time since he entered Beijing.During this period of time, he didn't talk about being diligent and caring for the people, at least he thought that he was doing a lot better than the old emperor Liu Hong before.

But I don't know why, not only did the world not improve in the slightest, but because of his behavior, it became more and more chaotic.

……

Three months ago, there was a severe drought in the Hetao area, and the people didn't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and they couldn't eat enough to eat. Some bandits set off a rebellion and were wiped out by him. As a result, the local people even helped the bandits, causing extremely heavy losses to the army.

……

Seven months ago, a plague of locusts occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people of Jingzhou were miserable. The local officials asked the court for disaster relief. Dong Zhuo agreed to the disaster relief. As a result, after the relief food arrived in the area, it was divided up by wealthy families from all over the country.

The aristocratic families with food intensified and forced the people at the bottom to sell their sons and daughters, and even the whole family sold themselves as slaves.

Jingbei's tax revenue dropped by more than one-third of previous years.

……

A year ago, the Yellow River burst its banks.

There were countless casualties among the people in Hedong.

Dong Zhuo sent people to repair the river.

……

The following year, the Yellow River broke its embankment again, causing even more casualties...

……

All of these, whether natural disasters or man-made disasters, seemed to be the alarm bells ringing in his ears, which seemed so deafening.

I don't know why, but Dong Zhuoyue is working hard. The more diligent he is, the more disasters in this world seem to become more frequent, making it impossible for him to escape from the heavy government affairs.

And just when Dong Zhuo was going to survive the disaster of this period with double diligence, an unharmonious voice quietly sounded in the court.

……

"Please ask the Prime Minister to return the government to the emperor, so that the world will be in good order and the people will have no worries."

……

"Please return the prime minister to the emperor. Now the world is in decline, and people complain everywhere. It's all because the ministers in the court are prosperous and the king is declining. It is against human relations."

……

"Please return the state to the emperor, otherwise the way of heaven is impermanent, and our great man will lose his magic weapon, and the country will be destroyed."

……

"Please Xiangguo, return the power to the emperor..."

……

I don't know when, in the imperial court, those people from aristocratic families with profound family backgrounds began to desperately persuade themselves to return the power of the government to Liu Bian, and said that the world is in chaos today because of him Caused by perverse actions.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo just regarded them as a joke.

Those who were the first to put forward such arguments were executed by Dong Zhuo's entire family directly by relying on his military power.

……

But soon, Dong Zhuo found that something was wrong.

Normally speaking, even if these aristocratic families are ignorant and insist on clinging to the theory of superiority and inferiority of monarchs and ministers, these people are not so stupid as to run to face themselves every day, right?

Are they really not afraid of death?

……

Or... What these people say is not blind obedience to the traditional loyalty of monarchs and ministers, but an out-and-out fact?

……

After discovering that something was wrong, Dong Zhuo gradually faded out of the field of vision of the officials, and began to entrust domestic political affairs to Lv Bu and Li Ru to complete on his behalf.

As for himself, he secretly ran to the collection and storage of relevant ancient books in the Luoyang Palace, and began to search and read past historical materials.

If a person says that the world belongs to the Liu surname, it may just be because the Liu surname is so powerful...

But everyone said that the world belongs to Liu...

Is this a little too ridiculous?

Could it be that the surname is really Liu in this world, not the children of the Liu surname, once they reach out to power, they will be sanctioned by the boundless karma between the world?

……

If Liu Bian is still there, Dong Zhuo really doesn't mind letting Liu Bian take power again.

Even if it is just to hand over some basic rights to Liu Bian's hands, it can also test whether what the ministers said is alarmist or true.

As for seizing power... Anyway, the entire Luoyang, the military power of the entire great man is now in his hands, who is qualified to take the world from him?

……

It's just a pity that Liu Bian is no longer here.

In other words, Liu Bian, the former Hongnong King, is no longer here.

After Dong Zhuo took control of the imperial palace, he sent his subordinate Li Ru to the Hongnong King's Palace as the Secretary of the Central Committee, specifically watching the words and deeds of the eldest prince.

After being placed under house arrest and restricted to the extreme, Liu Bian now seems to have a mental illness, becoming more and more afraid of foreign objects, timid and fearful.

Now besides having sex with court ladies every day at home, Liu Bian is about to lose even the most basic ability to communicate with people.

How could Dong Zhuo transfer power back to such a person?

……

In this way, as the days passed, Dong Zhuo's situation became more and more embarrassing.

At the same time, news that the Kwantung princes rebelled in Luoyang, claiming to be on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and the Yasukuni disaster also reached Dong Zhuo's ears.

What can we do?

What else can be done?

Facing such a rebellion, Dong Zhuo only felt more and more restless in his heart.

He simply distributed the troops, and then threw all the rest of the work into Li Ru's hands.

……

"Oh, why is this..."
