The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 17: People should have pursuits!

In fact, after Dong Zhuo took control of the government, he really felt that there was no purpose in life.

He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.

This may be an unattainable dream for others, but for Dong Zhuo, this is his daily reality.

Although this kind of life is comfortable, it is still a bit uncomfortable for someone like Dong Zhuo who climbed up step by step from the bottom with his military achievements.

Until yesterday, Liu Xie brought out "Duke of Zhou" for Dong Zhuo.

As a symbol of China, no one else can even come close to her, let alone compare with her.

But after listening to Liu Xie's words, Dong Zhuo thought about it all night and found that he really had the possibility of surpassing Zhou Gong!
"In the first year, he put down the rebellion; in the second year, he conquered Yin; in the third year, he conquered Yan; in the fourth year, he established the Marquis and Wei; in the fifth year, he built Cheng Zhou; in the sixth year, he established rites and music; in the seventh year, he handed over the government to King Cheng."

Although Dong Zhuo only completed these seven tasks in one year, it would not be impossible for him to do the following tasks if he really wanted to.

In addition, today's emperor is intelligent and looks like a wise king who can create a prosperous and peaceful rule.

If Dong Zhuo really followed the work of Duke Zhou and completed several major events in between, perhaps future generations would really compare him with Duke Zhou!

That’s Duke Zhou!

Dong Zhuo has admired famous scholars since he was young. When talking about famous scholars, how can we avoid Zhou Gong?

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but tremble all over at the thought that he had the opportunity to be compared with this saint who was revered by thousands of famous scholars and even the Confucian saint Confucius.

Compared with this goal, a little money...seems like nothing!
When Jia Xu heard Dong Zhuo's agreement, he immediately took action and looked at Lu Bu again.

"General Lu, there is one more thing that may require the help of your soldiers!"

Although Lu Bu often did not do his job and even dared to sleep with Dong Zhuo's concubine, he was most in line with Dong Zhuo's temperament in respecting scholars. It was as if they were carved from the same mold.

Therefore, he did not dare to be arrogant to Jia Xu, and directly leaned forward and said, "Jia Lingjun, please speak."

"Although the rain in this level continues to fall, it will eventually stop."

"When the rain stops, I hope General Lu can mobilize soldiers to help the people of Guanzhong dig ditches, repair fields, and grow food as soon as possible."

Dong Zhuo had countless elite troops under his command, but in order to guard against the princes in Guandong and Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in the west, almost all of them were dispersed.

Now the largest number of troops near Chang'an is directly commanded by Lu Bu, so Jia Xu also chose to ask Lu Bu.

"This……"

Lu Bu frowned and looked at Liu Xie awkwardly.

Liu Xie had said before that he would be responsible for teaching the soldiers to read and write. And after he finished, he could use this as an excuse to ask Dong Zhuo to give him a concubine to eliminate the rift between the two.

If he agreed to Jia Xu and delayed his important business, there would always be a thorn between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, making it difficult for the relationship between his father and son to return to what it was before.

“What a great opportunity!”

Liu Xie immediately slammed the chopsticks on the table.

"There have always been rumors in Guanzhong that the Grand Tutor does not care about the people. Now that we have the soldiers going to help the people build canals and dams, isn't that the time to show the Grand Tutor's benevolence?"

Liu Xie quickly touched Dong Zhuo's belly and said, "Grandmaster! You are so kind to order the soldiers to help the people! Your actions will surely be recorded in history books and will be remembered for generations to come!"

Dong Zhuo also chuckled when he heard this.

He doesn't care about the soldiers helping the people.

But what Liu Xie said about lasting fame and kindness touched his heart.

Dong Zhuo knew that although he had great martial virtues, he was slightly inferior in charm.

It is impossible to achieve political achievements like Duke Zhou by yourself.

Now that someone has taken the initiative to take over this responsibility, Dong Zhuo is so happy that he can't contain himself. How can he have any reason to refuse?
"Fengxian, just do it!" "Just like teaching soldiers to read, if this is done well, you will also have a great contribution!"

Lu Bu's just tangled brows immediately relaxed!
He is not good at teaching people to read, but isn't it easy to command soldiers to dig the soil and plant crops?
If it is done well, wouldn't I be able to reunite with my loved one faster?
"Here! Father!"

Dong Zhuo thought it was not enough, so he added Niu Fu: "Liang Bi! When you come back this time, you will take over the Feixiong Army stationed in Meibao and help Wenhe get things done!"

Niu Fu was an honest man, and when he heard Dong Zhuo's arrangement, he immediately agreed.

"correct!"

Liu Xie also ordered at this moment: "Fengxian, Liangbi, you two must remember to control the soldiers under your command, only do your work, and don't provoke trouble."

"This time it's not just for Wenhe's sake, but more importantly for the sake of clearing the name of the Grand Tutor. Do you two remember this?"

"Here!"

Perhaps because their voices were a little soft, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

"This time, keep those little lambs under your command in check! If anyone dares to break the rules, they will be punished by military law!"

Lu Bu and Niu Fu were startled, and they quickly stood up together and acted solemnly, just like they did in the military camp.

"I will follow the Grand Master's orders!"

Both of them were considered half-sons of Dong Zhuo and knew Dong Zhuo's style of doing things.

Political matters may still be vague.

But once Dong Zhuo mentioned "military law", it meant that it had to be taken seriously!

At this time, even those who were closest to Dong Zhuo did not dare to offend Dong Zhuo, for fear of becoming one of the countless souls killed by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo snorted again when he saw that the two men really took the matter seriously.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I will obey your majesty's orders and start exercising from now on. I will also eat less meat!"

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes and looked at the dozen or so empty plates in front of Dong Zhuo.

There are at least four or five kilograms of mutton on these plates.

Even so, Dong Zhuo still said that he ate less...

Just as Liu Xie was looking at Dong Zhuo, a pair of eyes below were also looking at Liu Xie.

Jia Xu has too many surprises today!
Suddenly he became the Shangshu Ling, in charge of all the political affairs of the Han Dynasty.

He met an emperor who understood the sufferings of the people.

Moreover, even the most brutal Grand Tutor Dong was so kind.

If there is, everyone knows it, but they don’t dare to say it.

For example, "The current emperor is just a puppet of Grand Tutor Dong."

Jia Xu originally thought that Liu Xie, if not trembling with fear and submitting in front of Dong Zhuo, would at least be well-behaved and obedient. He would not even dare to look west when Dong Zhuo told him to go east.

But what he saw today was really beyond Jia Xu's expectations.

How could this emperor be a puppet of Grand Tutor Dong?
It is obvious that Grand Tutor Dong is a bit like the emperor's puppet!
Jia Xu himself did not hold much hope for the two things he proposed during the banquet, because he knew Dong Zhuo too well.

No one expected that Liu Xie could accomplish the task in just a few words!

"If the emperor is so wise, then the position of Shangshu Ling... can't be said to be a hard job!"
