My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 58 Undercurrent

"Wenyou, is this true?"

"My Lord, seriously."

Li Ru looked a little serious, and said worriedly as he stood beside Dong Zhuo.

"It's 1,600 miles from the capital to Beiliang. It took a spy three days to deliver the news."

"According to the letter, after the emperor learned that Qin Hui had your support, he decisively beheaded him."

"and...."

Dong Zhuo was already a little annoyed at this time, and asked with wide eyes.

"And what? Does that brat want to send someone to chop off my head?"

Li Ru naturally knew Dong Zhuo's ambition, and where was this place? This was in the territory of Beiliang, and in the residence of the King of Beiliang.

So they are naturally not afraid that these words will spread out, even if they do, what does it matter?

"No, it's because the emperor has guessed that the person who poisoned her was not Empress Wu."

Hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Dong Zhuo's face.

"But guess it on our heads?"

"Not yet. After all, the people we sent to bribe those eunuchs were our assassins, and they have long since turned into a pile of bones."

"Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, he couldn't trace it back to us, Beiliang."

Dong Zhuo then breathed a sigh of relief, stroked the wine glass, and said with some regret.

"It's a pity that I couldn't poison that little kid as planned."

Li Ru also felt a little regretful: "Yes, if the emperor can be poisoned to death, the news of his death will be released."

"Then we will spread the news that His Majesty was poisoned by the Queen Mother, and put all the evidence on Lu Zhi."

"By then, everyone in the world can go out to fight for the king. As long as the world is in chaos, our chance will come."

Dong Zhuo raised the wine glass in his hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed it heavily on the table in front of him.

He asked in a rather hostile tone: "So what should we do now?"

Li Ru was holding his chin and thinking, but Jia Xu, who was sitting in the hall, spoke.

"My Lord, how about we take advantage of their trick?"

Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu coldly, but heard Dong Zhuo asking.

"What's the plan?"

Jia Xu smiled confidently and said loudly: "Since the emperor has already cast his suspicious eyes outside the palace, why don't we directly help him find out the "truth"?"

Those who could sit in the meeting room were all Dong Zhuo's confidants, either his personal soldiers or his sons-in-law.

Those who are valued by him are naturally not ordinary people.

"So how do you plan to help him find out the truth?"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was already moved, Jia Xu was secretly delighted.

"Hasn't Zhu Di already sent troops to the north? And according to the intelligence we have received, his troops have now reached the Onon River and his horses have marched into the Buir Lake."

"Moreover, he seems to have no intention of returning to the capital, but is preparing to accumulate his own strength on the grassland. The emperor is also aware of this intention."

"So, why don't we try to divert the blame and link this matter to him."

Dong Zhuo thought about the interests involved, and although he was tempted, he did not agree directly. Instead, he looked at Li Ru and the generals in the hall.

"Wenyou, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is not possible."

"Oh? Then why not tell me?"

Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu, then bowed and said.

"Your Highness, I think that if this matter is implicated in Zhu Di, then this will give Zhu Di a reason to rebel."

“Just imagine, will the people of the world believe this reason?”

"I guess the people would think that Zhu Di was forced to rebel, a pillar of the country who wiped out the grassland tribes and drove the foreigners to Buyuer Lake."

"But after the great victory, he was suspected by the emperor, which gave Zhu Di a legitimate reason to purge the emperor's entourage."

"By then, Zhu Di's dispatch of troops will be justified, but what about us?"

Dong Zhuo immediately thought about the relationship between them and frowned in thought.

Jia Xu glanced at Li Ru meaningfully, but all he got in response was Li Ru's disdainful sneer.

Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's chief strategist, and Jia Xu was just a captain in charge of suppressing the enemy.

Moreover, Li Ru was also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so in this military camp, Li Ru wanted to suppress Jia Xu everywhere.

At this moment, Jia Xu felt a little sad.

But Dong Zhuo was not interested in these things. He was still thinking about what benefits he could gain from pinning the crime of poisoning the emperor on Zhu Di.

But after thinking for a long time, there was still no satisfactory answer.

If Zhu Di could legitimately come to the aid of the emperor, and by then he would have the world in his hands, what reason would he have to send troops himself?

He was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict. Even if he said that he was trying to stop Zhu Di, once the emperor issued a national edict, he would be able to succeed in the end.

That is just the target of everyone's criticism and siege.

By then, although the world was in chaos as he had imagined, his own power had also been greatly reduced.

How can they fight back? Besides, Zhu Di is not a soft persimmon.

The other two princes are not easy to mess with either.

After figuring this out, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and asked in a deep voice.

"Wenyou, do you have a better plan?"

Li Ru did not answer immediately, but glanced at Jia Xu, then stared at him and smiled faintly, then answered loudly.

"Your Highness, we just need to spread the word that the poison was given by the Queen Mother and that she is trying to frame the Queen."

"Moreover, he went to the territory of the Prince of Pingxi and spread rumors that he wanted to murder Your Majesty and usurp the throne."

"If the Queen Mother and Prince Pingxi want to prove their innocence, it will take some time, and we will take this opportunity to confirm the evidence."

"In this case, Your Majesty will definitely deal with the King of Pingxi first, which will give us time to develop, and the King of Pingxi will naturally not surrender."

"But if the King of Pingxi really rebels against the imperial court in front of the people, then his crime of treason will be proven."

"The emperor cannot defeat the King of Pingxi with his current military strength. He will definitely send Oboi or Zhu Di to deal with the King of Pingxi."

"Then the opportunity will come. And Zhu Di will not miss it either."

"We just need to wait until they start fighting and disturb the people of the world, and then we take action. At this time, even if they find out, they will be helpless."

Dong Zhuoyue listened and his eyes became brighter.

This move is extremely brilliant, killing three birds with one stone.

As if he saw the scene of himself sitting on the dragon throne in the future, Dong Zhuo laughed excitedly, and his unbridled laughter echoed throughout the Beiliang Palace.

Dong Min, Niu Fu, Dong Huang and Lu Bu also quickly followed suit.

"Blessings, Father."

"Blessings, Your Majesty."

"Blessings, godfather."

"Unify the world and achieve eternal hegemony."

After these people said so, the other generals in the hall naturally followed suit.

However, two of them looked a little strange.

One of them is naturally Jia Xu. Although he is only a captain of the army now, he believes that he is no less intelligent than Li Ru.

A smart person who is always suppressed will naturally feel unhappy.

He was interrupted by Li Ru before he could finish his words, and he had thought of what Li Ru said.

The other person with a strange expression was the newly appointed Chen Qianzhi.

His current position in Dong Zhuo's army is just a small infantry captain, and the only reason he can appear in this meeting room is because his talent is appreciated by Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, he is also good at dealing with people.

After knowing Li Ru's thoughts, he knew how to please both Jia Xu and Li Ru.

However, Chen Qianzhi discovered an interesting phenomenon: Lu Bu was clearly the most powerful fighter under Dong Zhuo.

But her status in this conference room was only slightly higher than his.

Chen Qianzhi seemed to have thought of a way to gradually disintegrate the huge Beiliang.
