The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 101 Li Ru
Liu Xie didn’t know about the solemn oath Lu Bu had made to him, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep well and would have broken out in a cold sweat!
A man lay on the table in a daze for a long time. Fortunately, Liu Xie was young and recovered after a while.

"Oops!"

"Grand Master's concubine!"

Liu Xie still thought that he had not finished his work, but when he looked around, he found that the guests had already left.

"Your Majesty is awake?"

There were only some palace maids and servants around him, and some concubines such as Fu Shou who already lived in Changle Palace.

"The Grand Master was just helped away by General Hou and General Niu. The rest of the people were also arranged and went to their respective residences."

Liu Xie anxiously asked, "What about Lu Bu?"

"General Lu is probably...having fun right now."

joy?

Fu Shou was still an unmarried girl after all, and was somewhat shy when talking about some things. It took her a long time to explain clearly the matter of Lu Bu asking the Grand Tutor for a concubine.

"good!"

Liu Xie finally felt relieved.

It's good to have things done.

Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, even Liu Xie would not know how to meet Dong Zhuo's family again.

The fear is that by then Dong Zhuo will not suspect that Lu Bu has an affair with someone, but will start to suspect whether Emperor Liu Xie wants to take advantage of his family...especially Dong Bai!
But now the biggest rift between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu has been resolved, and I believe there will be no more problems between the two in the future!
"Good, good!"

Liu Xie slammed the table and said, "If that's the case, I'm relieved!"

As he walked out, he felt a little lighter, obviously having put his mind to rest.

"His Majesty."

Fu Shou suddenly called Liu Xie and held up the poem Liu Xie had written: "Your Majesty, should this be sealed?"

Cai Yong commented that this poem is a masterpiece that is no less excellent than "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix"!

What's more, it was written by the emperor, so Fu Shou didn't dare to deal with it casually.

"No, if you want it, I will give it to you."

Liu Xie saw that the young concubine seemed to cherish the poem very much.

Liu Xie was too embarrassed to seal this thing in the palace for future generations to admire, so he decided to just give it away as a favor to save trouble.

A huge amount of happiness hit Fu Shou's head. When she recovered, she found that Liu Xie had already walked down the Hongtai, got on the jade carriage, and went to the Weiyang Palace.

Seeing that the emperor really had no intention of taking the poem back, Fu Shou quickly hid the bamboo slips in her arms, secretly delighted!

Humming a cheerful tune, Fu Shou came to the palace. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by a voice -

"Fu Cai Nu."

"Mr. Cai?"

Fu Shou then discovered that Cai Yan, dressed in white mourning clothes, was waiting at the gate of Ye Ting, waiting for her to return.

"Mr. Cai, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Although Cai Yan's poems were somewhat inferior to the emperor's poems, this did not prevent Fu Shou from regarding Cai Yan as a talented and extraordinary woman, and there was no disrespect towards her.

"I just came here to walk around, not to sit down."

Cai Yan whispered, "Is the emperor awake?"

"Awake."

"Then...how did he react to the matter of General Lu?"

……

When Cai Yan heard that Lu Bu asked Dong Zhuo for a concubine, her head exploded!
First of all, Cai Yan is not that kind of woman.

Secondly, Cai Yan is not that kind of woman.

Finally, Cai Yan is not that kind of woman.

But Cai Yan was, after all, a well-read woman who had fantasized about certain myths and anecdotes. She seemed to have an extraordinary talent for imagining certain things.

A story about the emperor, the prime minister, Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo's concubine involuntarily emerged in Cai Yan's mind...

This incident was too explosive, no matter how calm Cai Yan was, she couldn't remain indifferent. That's why she ignored etiquette and came here to wait for Fu Shou, wanting to find out the situation.

"His Majesty's reaction? His Majesty is very happy!"

Fu Shou didn't understand why Cai Yan asked His Majesty about his reaction to this matter, but His Majesty was indeed very happy!
Happy?

Cai Yan was a very smart person, but she was always preconceived and confused, so she didn't think about other aspects.

But now I hear that His Majesty is extremely happy about this matter, and I also know that the truth of the matter may not be what I imagined!

"Then your majesty has been watching the Grand Master's concubine in Meiwu, just for General Lu?"

Cai Yan figured out the important thing, and a huge weight fell from her heart, and she smiled knowingly!
Seeing that Cai Yan seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, Fu Shou also took the opportunity to invite her: "Ms. Cai, can you come to the palace tomorrow to teach the other sisters? We have always longed for you, and hope that you can teach us. We will definitely reward you handsomely when the time comes!"

Cai Yan looked embarrassed.

"I am a woman, and I am in mourning. I am afraid it would be inappropriate to go in and out of the palace."

Fu Shou was also a little frustrated when she heard Cai Yan's refusal again.

However, her happiness seemed to be endless, and she patted her chest happily: "Although it is a pity that Mrs. Cai cannot go to the palace, today is not without gain! Before the emperor left, he gave me the poem he just wrote. I must let others see the emperor's calligraphy!"

?

Cai Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"What did Fu Cainu say just now?"

"Yes... His Majesty gave me the calligraphy."

"Previous sentence." "Mr. Cai, are you free to come to Ye Ting to teach? We will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Have!"

Cai Yan was extremely determined: "Immediately!"

As for the reward...it doesn't need to be too expensive, just some ordinary bamboo slips will be enough!
------

The residence of General Zuo.

Dong Min returned to the mansion with a pot of fine wine he had packed from the banquet in his hand.

He brought the wine to a hall and placed it respectfully on the table.

"Today, the Grand Tutor is hosting a banquet in Changle Palace. Unfortunately, the Doctor-in-Chief cannot be shown to others and cannot taste the delicacies in the palace. I can only bring back some fine wine for the Doctor-in-Chief to taste."

There is a plain screen standing in the center of the hall.

The light cast a shadow, and a thin black figure fell on the screen, as if he was writing furiously.

"Thank you, General Zuo."

……

After a few breaths, the person behind the screen put down his brush when he saw that Dong Min had not left.

"It seems that General Zuo wants to discuss something with me."

Dong Min also spoke the truth: "It's not really a discussion... I just have some complaints, but I don't dare to complain to others. After thinking about it, I'm afraid that only here with the doctor can I speak freely."

After hearing this, the black shadow slowly stood up and walked out from behind the screen.

He is a skinny old man.

With a hunched back and short stature, he would be the easiest person to bully if he were on the street.

However, his deep eye sockets are frightening, and the fierceness that flashes from time to time makes people like Dong Min shudder.

"General Zuo is in such a high position and has so much power, how could there be no one he can talk to?"

"On the contrary, I, Li Wenyou, really have no one to talk to. I can only spend the rest of my life in this dark room."

Li Ru!

Wang Langzhongling of Hongnong!

Zeng Jiu killed the previous emperor!

But it is really puzzling that such a person is willing to curl up in this room.

"Why is the Doctor-in-Chief so desperate? If the Doctor-in-Chief wants to, he can be appointed as a high-ranking official like the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers at any time, right?"

"Ah."

Sitting cross-legged opposite Dong Min, Li Ru mocked himself in a hoarse voice: "Three Dukes and Nine Ministers?"

"Whether it's the emperor, the Grand Tutor, or anyone else, I'm afraid they all want me, Li Ru, to die immediately. Why would they use the high positions of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to serve me?"

Dong Min: "Doctor, your words are too serious."

"Don't overstate it."

Li Ru seemed to be oblivious to the people around him: "After I committed such a treasonous act, I knew that I would never have a career in politics again. I must never show my face in front of the world... Otherwise, the emperor and the Grand Tutor would not forgive me."

Dong Min was puzzled: "The Grand Tutor has always been clear about rewards and punishments. What the Doctor-in-Chief did before was clearly to help the Grand Tutor solve a major problem. Why is he worried that the Grand Tutor will take action against the Doctor-in-Chief now?"

"And the emperor... The current emperor and the King of Hongnong have always been at odds. The emperor's biological mother and the Empress Dowager who raised the emperor were both killed by the King of Hongnong's mother, Queen He. It can be said that they have an irreconcilable hatred! The doctor-in-chief killed the King of Hongnong to avenge the emperor, right? Not to mention, if the King of Hongnong was not killed, how could the current emperor sit on the throne? So whether it is the Grand Master or the emperor, they should be grateful to the doctor-in-chief. Why would they think of plotting against the doctor-in-chief?"

"Ah."

Li Ru laughed again.

This time he wasn't laughing at himself, he was laughing at Dong Min's naivety.

"How can everything in the world be summed up with a single word 'pros and cons'?"

"When I was doing things, I did clear obstacles for the Grand Tutor and the current emperor. But after the work was done, I became a filthy thing that they wanted to avoid."

"If I stand in the court, I will remind the world that the Grand Master once killed the king!"

"No matter whether the Grand Master had no choice or not, he has done it."

"I heard that when the Grand Master returned from the battle, Your Majesty prepared a song for him called "Broken Axe" to praise Duke Zhou?"

"Since the Grand Master wants to be the Duke of Zhou, how can he tolerate me standing in the court?"

"As for the Son of Heaven..."

Li Ru coughed a few times sinisterly.

"People often say that the emperor is sacred. But since I have already killed an emperor, isn't the current emperor afraid? Will I kill another emperor?"

"General Zuo. If you were the Grand Master, the Emperor, would you... tolerate me standing upright in front of the world?"

Li Ru was extremely calm from beginning to end, as if he was not talking about his own business.

But Dong Min always felt a chill lingering behind his head.

Especially when Li Ru finally said "kill another emperor", Dong Min shuddered!
It was at this moment that Dong Min realized what the person in front of him had done!
Seeing that he seemed to have frightened Dong Min, Li Ru took two cups and poured the fine wine that Dong Min had brought into them, as if there had been no conversation between the two of them just now.

"I said too much."

"General Zuo just said that he had some complaints but didn't dare to... In the current Chang'an City, the only people who can make General Zuo so cautious are probably the Grand Tutor or the Emperor, right?"

"Or is it that General Zuo's dissatisfaction is directed at both the Grand Tutor and the Emperor?"

Dong Min picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, dispelling the coldness from his body.

"What a talent! My thoughts were seen through by him at a glance!"

"Yes, recently, I am indeed somewhat dissatisfied with the Grand Master and the Emperor!"
