System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

After Dong Yu rested for a few days, he was called to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters.

Dong Yu, who had thought that he would hardly be bothered by any trivial matters when he returned to Chang'an this time, seemed a little surprised.

After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Yu discovered that everyone present was a member of the Xiliang direct lineage with extremely high status.

There were almost no outsiders.

"Zihe is here."

Li Ru said with a smile.

"I've been waiting for you, dawdling."

Dong Zhuo sat in the first seat and scolded in a bad mood.

"Hey, we're all family, so just go slow."

Dong Yu sat down on Dong Zhuo's right, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea while talking.

"Hahaha."

"You're right, we're all family, so it's okay."

Li Jue, Guo Fan, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji and several other Xiliang generals burst into laughter.

"In the middle of winter, are we all gathered together to discuss some kind of treason?"

Dong Yu joked as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

What are the identities of the people present?

Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, former general Dong Yu, Shangshu Ling Li Ru, Jingzhao Yin Dong Cheng, and Jinwu Zhifu Fu Wan were the four most powerful generals of the Western Liang army. Three of them were present, the only one missing was Niu Fu who was far away in Jizhou.

Their duties covered all important matters including the national military, government affairs, personnel appointments, and criminal penalties in the Jingzhao area.

Not to mention times of chaos, even in prosperous times, the emperor would be terrified if he saw this group of people gathering together in private.

"You were right about what happened today."

"Xiliang is now in disarray. Next year, I plan to lead my army to pacify Xiliang."

"By then, the entire north will belong to our Dong family."

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and said seriously.

"You lead an army?"

"Father, are you crazy?"

"How old are you?"

Dong Yu looked at Dong Zhuo in disbelief.

"Stinky boy, who are you calling crazy?"

Dong Zhuo cursed angrily.

He did this for his son.

Dong Zhuo still had some prestige in Xiliang.

Now that the largest vassal power in Xiliang is gone, it is definitely a perfect opportunity to take over Xiliang.

Although Xiliang is poor and sparsely populated.

But Xiliang’s resources are not bad.

The war horses are the most praised feature, and the vast land allows for large-scale military settlements.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once established military settlements in the Western Regions. Even though many fields are now abandoned, they can be restored to fertile land in just a few years.

"Stop messing around."

"Father, you're not in good health. Xiliang is bitterly cold. If you really want to go, let me go."

Dong Yu shook his head and said quickly.

"Just you?"

"Do you think the Xiliang people can be easily defeated?"

"Those Qiang and Xiliang people are not that easy to deal with."

"Your father and I, with our prestige, can intimidate a few. Then, by combining kindness and force, Xiliang will be easily conquered."

Dong Zhuo smiled disdainfully.

He couldn't even guarantee that he could really intimidate those restless people.

Times are different now. Although Dong Zhuo rose in Xiliang, chaos would break out in Xiliang every few years. Those who used to fear Dong Zhuo have long been replaced several times.

Of course, there was another reason why he insisted on going.

Now that I’m older, I hope I can help my son more.

"Prime Minister, I know you hold great prestige, but an expedition to Xiliang is no small matter."

"Why not let Guo Fan and I lead the army?"

Li Jue was also afraid that Dong Zhuo would die on the way to the Western Expedition, so he spoke quickly.

"Yes, Prime Minister, this is not a joke."

"Li Jue and I are enough to deal with the bandits from Xiliang."

Seeing Li Jue speak, Guo Fan echoed without hesitation.

Although Dong Yu has now taken over Jizhou and stabilized Youzhou, his personal prestige is still not enough to compare with Dong Zhuo.

Even if Dong Yu's prestige surpassed Dong Zhuo one day, they did not want anything to happen to Dong Zhuo.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Dong Yu has his own team. If the power is transferred so quickly, it is hard to say whether they will continue to be reused.

"Are you all bullying me because I'm old?"

"what?"

Dong Zhuo looked around at everyone angrily.
