Chapter 401
Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo was extremely sad after losing Li Ru.
There were few civil servants in Xiliang and Bingzhou.
There were even fewer who could give advice and were trusted by him.
Li Ru was assassinated, which made Dong Zhuo furious.
He ordered Lu Bu to lead his troops to wreak havoc in Luoyang City.
He had to find the assassin.
However, how could he find the assassin with just an arrow that pierced Li Ru's chest?
Lu Bu turned some princes and ministers who he didn't like upside down and let it go.
Those princes and ministers who were afraid of war did not give Lu Bu all kinds of jewelry and money secretly.
The officials who were not very sensible were taught a lesson by Lu Bu.
Then they also paid tribute obediently.
Facing the truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry in the mansion, Lu Bu was extremely satisfied.
In the future, if these are transported back to Tanghai, Lord Qu Mu will definitely praise him a lot.
And he would be rewarded with more colored glaze.
After seeing the crystal clear colored glaze, Lü Bu no longer looked down on other so-called treasures in the world.
In his eyes, they were like dirt.
According to the letter sent by Liu Yu.
Jia Xu secretly gave Lü Bu advice.
He divided the suggestions into several types, and gave relevant answers. When Dong Zhuo was confused, he came forward and put forward the suggestions at the right time.
After several times, Dong Zhuo felt that Lü Bu was his real right-hand man.
It didn't take long for Li Ru to be completely forgotten in Lü Bu's various strategic contributions.
In the Taishi Mansion, Dong Zhuo sat on the couch, and his fat belly became bigger and bigger.
He was very comfortable eating fruits and drinking fine wine with the service of two beautiful girls.
"My son, come, drink this cup!"
Dong Zhuo raised the wine cup to invite wine.
"Please, foster father!"
Lü Bu replied and raised his head to drink it all.
Dong Zhuo was very happy with the clean and neat way of drinking.
"You are worthy of being my son."
Dong Zhuo praised.
"After coming to Luoyang, you have also figured out the ways of officialdom."
"It is really my luck!"
After discovering Lu Bu's true talent, Dong Zhuo rewarded him with various treasures.
He was afraid that his adopted son would be poached by other ministers in the court.
Dong Zhuo was very concerned about Lu Bu.
"Alas!" Lu Bu sighed.
"In Bingzhou, it was Ding Yuan who delayed me, making people think that I, Lü Fengxian, was just a warrior without literary talent."
"How could they know that I also studied by candlelight when I was young."
"What I learned is not much different from those children of aristocratic families."
"In terms of strategy, I am familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War."
"But because Ding Yuan is stubborn and self-righteous, I can't use it at all."
"All kinds of suggestions were not accepted."
Lü Bu changed the subject, and the worry on his face disappeared, and he became energetic. "However, fortunately, I met my adoptive father."
"Only then can I show my strategy in my lifetime."
"My adoptive father can listen to advice and make decisions."
"You are really a hero!"
"It's my luck!"
Lü Bu recited the words taught by Jia Xu word for word.
Even the two completely opposite expressions were performed to perfection.
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up.
A comfortable feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart.
Since I came to Luoyang to take control of the power, I have heard too much flattery.
My ears are almost calloused.
But such a comfortable flattery, it seems to be there but not there, and it seems to be there but not there.
Everything is just right.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo felt that he deserved these few compliments.
Wasn't it he who discovered Lu Bu's talent?
Dong Zhuo raised the wine cup in his hand, "My son, drink another cup!"
Without waiting for Lu Bu to reply, he raised his head and drained the wine in the wine cup in one gulp.
The hearty laughter echoed in the lobby of the mansion.
After drinking, Lu Bu thought a little in his heart.
The conditions and atmosphere on the scene met the situation described by Jia Xu.
The preparations just now were also done.
He followed the words, his face straightened, stood up and bowed, and made a solemn suggestion.
"Father, I have something to tell you!"
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to let the two beauties leave.
"Son, tell me in detail."
Lv Bu approached and lowered his voice to offer advice: "Father."
"In the court, the power is always controlled by the two factions of relatives and eunuchs."
"Even if you control the court now, it is not legitimate after all."
"Officials in Luoyang are just afraid of the military power in your hands."
"It's okay for now, but it's not forever."
Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed deeply, "My son is right."
"But not everyone can be a relative."
"Eunuch..."
He stopped talking and turned to look at Lu Bu.
"Ahem..." Lu Bu was almost frightened by Dong Zhuo's eyes.
"I have a plan."
He said quickly: "There are more relatives than just the He family, there is also a Dong family..."Dong Zhuo instantly thought of Dong Zhong who was killed by He Jin, and his breathing became heavier.
It was the same Dong, so isn't this related to the relatives of the emperor?
"My son, continue." Dong Zhuo rubbed his hands and looked forward to the next part.
Lu Bu said: "Although Queen Mother Dong and Dong Zhong were killed, there are still members of the Dong family alive."
"His name is Dong Cheng."
"I took him in as a young general under the Xiliang Army."
"The Grand Master can marry an adopted daughter to this man, and recognize each other as distant uncle and nephew."
"Willn't it be a family in the future?"
Dong Zhuo stroked his goatee and listened attentively.
Lu Bu continued: "In addition, the young emperor Liu Bian grew up among the people, his behavior is frivolous, and he has no literary skills. He is not a candidate for the emperor."
"I think Chenliu King Liu Xie is young but steady. The key is that he was raised by Queen Mother Dong. It's better to..."
Lu Bu's voice stopped at the right time.
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and thought.
Lu Bu's words hit him right on the soft spot.
Although he controlled Luoyang by force, it was not a long-term trend.
He thought hard but could not come up with a way to break the deadlock.
But he never thought that Lu Bu would give him the best breakthrough.
His status as a relative of the emperor made him jealous.
Being a relative of the emperor also meant that he had a status among the civil and military officials.
This made those Confucian scholars who abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone have no other objections in terms of morality.
Moreover, Liu Xie was still young and easy to control.
In addition to Dong Cheng's relationship, his status as a relative of the emperor was confirmed.
In the future, the power of Luoyang will definitely be more stable.
When everything in the court is stable, it will be time for him to work towards the next goal.
The name Wang Mang is a taboo in the hearts of people who have reached a certain level.
But it is an extremely tempting taboo.
It makes people want to abandon everything, and also want to touch or even break through.
Dong Zhuo's eyes turned and asked, "How should we deal with the matter of the ministers in the court not agreeing to the dethronement?"
There were no outsiders in the hall. Dong Zhuo tried his best to keep his voice down. Only heaven and earth knew, and he knew and his son knew.
Lu Bu smiled.
He smiled without saying anything.
Dong Zhuo understood instantly.
His face became firm and gloomy, and Dong Zhuo slapped the table.
Bang!
A heavy slap sounded in the hall.
Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed, "Tomorrow my son will hold the Fang Tian Hua Ji and accompany me to the court."
"In addition, my son will go to select soldiers now."
"Bring 500 elites and go to the court together tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Lu Bu answered loudly, and then turned and walked out.
Dong Zhuo's eyes sparkled.
But he could not see the sneer on Lu Bu's mouth when he walked out of the hall.
