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

Xun You reported all the recent news sent back to the capital to Dong Yu.

"I sent someone to discuss exchanging the captives' families with Liu Yan. Has there been any news?"

Dong Yu nodded and casually asked about the matter of exchanging family members.

Last winter, thousands of soldiers and horses surrendered in Yizhou, including two Yizhou generals, Sun Zhao and Wu Yi.

He couldn't help but take this matter seriously.

"News just came this morning that Liu Yan is dead."

"Our people have taken advantage of the chaos in Yizhou to secretly bring these families out."

Xun You's expression suddenly became serious and he spoke.

"what!"

"Liu Yan is dead?"

"He was in the prime of life, how could he die suddenly?"

Dong Yu was a little bit unbelievable.

Although Liu Yan was about fifty years old, there was no rumor that he had any illness.

This sudden death was a bit too sudden.

"It is said that Liu Yan was injured while suppressing a rebellion. Not long ago, a fire broke out in Mianzhu. Although Liu Yan escaped, he was also seriously ill."

"According to the reply from Heibingtai, after Liu Yan's death, the Yizhou nobles nominated Liu Yan's youngest son, Liu Zhang, as governor of Yizhou."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Yizhou rebels again."

Guo Jia stroked his short beard, which had just grown out, and interrupted.

"How to say?"

Hearing this, Dong Yu became interested and couldn't help but ask.

"The situation in Yizhou is inherently unstable. Not only are there a complex network of aristocratic families, but there are also many foreign races."

"Liu Yan had previously suppressed the rebellion by force, and when force is used to suppress rebellions, a large number of people will inevitably die."

"Now that Liu Yan is dead, these people will definitely rebel again because of Liu Yan's death."

"Whether my lord believes it or not, we will soon see the answer."

Guo Jia had a smile on his face as he speculated about the changes that might be about to happen in Shu.

"Who said I don't believe it?"

"Guo Fengxiao, you have a sharp gaze. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

Dong Yu smiled and shook his head, saying half-jokingly.

Chang'an Weiyang Palace

Speaking of which, this was Dong Yu's first time to come to the palace.

Today's Weiyang Palace is actually far less luxurious than it was during the Western Han Dynasty.

After the Xinmang Dynasty, Chang'an had been vacant for a long time, and the palace looked somewhat ancient and old.

After all, it has withstood hundreds of years of wind, frost, snow and rain. No matter how good the palace was in the past, it is no longer what it used to be.

"Announce, the former general and the Marquis of Jie come to see you!"

Following a loud and clear shout, Dong Yu, dressed in a red official robe, with a sword hanging from his waist and stepping on his feet, walked into the hall.

"Since entering the government, former General Dong Yu has quelled the traitor Yuan Shao, put down the rebellion in Youzhou, and resolved the crisis in Chang'an."

"You have made great contributions to the country and relieved my worries. I am now appointed the Grand General. I do not need to bow when entering the court, I wear a sword and shoes when entering the palace, I do not need to name my name when praising and worshipping. I am also given the Nine Gifts and the title of Champion Marquis."

Liu Xie's gaze passed through the pearls and jade covering his eyes, and he listened numbly to Li Ru's proclamation.

Liu Xie was very angry, really very angry.

He didn't know why Li Ru did this.

As far as he knew, Dong Yu didn't like attending court at all.

This is indeed the case. For so many years, he had only heard that Dong Zhuo had a son who was good at fighting, but had never seen him attend court.

Even when he was in Chang'an, he never came to court.

In Liu Xie's opinion, can't you family members solve this kind of problem yourselves?

Do you really want me to sit on the dragon throne and watch you play?

Am I also a part of your play?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dong Yu cupped his hands and said the word "thank you" very loudly.

"what!"

"Hmm~"

Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't help but tremble. Even the eunuch who came with the imperial edict almost fell to the ground.

They are indeed father and son!

The ability to scare people is the same.

The corners of Liu Xie's eyes twitched slightly, and he silently greeted Dong Zhuo's ancestors in his heart.

"General Dong... General Dong, please excuse me."

"General Dong has fought for the Han Dynasty in many battles, and has made great contributions."

"I hope that in the future, you will continue to assist me... in restoring the Han Dynasty and restoring order."

Liu Xie raised his hands, and the eunuchs who were closer could clearly see his trembling hands.

When the court officials saw this, some had calm expressions, some had happy expressions, but no one looked worried.
