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

Liu Bei put his hands behind his back and left the city wall.

...

The news that Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei soon reached the ears of his two neighbors, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Yanzhou·Juancheng

Snapped--

"what!!"

"It's Liu Bei again!"

"I'm so angry! Who the hell is he? He keeps ruining my plans!"

Cao Cao slammed his bowl on the table and cursed angrily.

"My lord, this is Tao Qian's plan to escape."

"He knew he couldn't stop his lord's army, so he wanted to use Liu Bei's hand to escape from the vortex of Xuzhou."

Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and said with great disdain.

"He wishes!"

"He killed my father and brother, how could I let him go?!"

"Come here, tell Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to count their men immediately. I want to kill Tao Qian and Liu Bei myself!"

"Especially this Liu Bei, who has repeatedly disrupted the situation. If I don't kill him, people will think I'm easy to bully."

Cao Cao gave orders angrily while pushing the Cao rice bowl back into his bowl.

"promise!"

A guard immediately took the order and left the governor's mansion.

"Because of my lack of virtue, I suffered from stupidity and cruelty when I was young. I lived in the western lands and later moved to Tang and Wei.

At this time, it is like a tassel hanging on a pile of tassels, the ancestral temples lack offerings, and the altars of the country have no place;

The evil ones are coveting and dividing the Chinese people. If I fail to gain anything from leading the people, the fate of my great-grandfather will be in vain.

I woke up early and dozed off, my heart filled with grief, saying: "Only my grandfather and father, my righteous brothers and sisters, can sympathize with me?"

He is the one who inspired the will of Heaven and gave birth to the Prime Minister. He has protected our royal family and helped us in times of hardship. I truly rely on him.

I will now bestow upon you the ceremonial ceremony, and you shall respectfully obey my orders."

Li Ru held the imperial edict in his hand and read it aloud.

Liu Xie, sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't help but tremble.

Inside the hall were civil and military officials headed by Dong Zhuo.

Today was a very unhappy day for Liu Xie. The bandit leader Dong Zhuo, whom he had not seen for many years, came to court again.

If you ask who Liu Xie is most afraid of.

Then it must be Dong Zhuo.

Even Empress He could only rank second.

He knew that today was the day Dong Zhuo was conferred the title of Duke.

Not long ago, Li Jue and Guo Fan pacified six and a half counties in Xiliang.

Only half of Wuwei County, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang had not yet been recovered.

However, with the deterrence of these six counties, the recovery of the remaining counties will be faster.

"Now, the princes are in chaos, and the national crisis has just begun. You are taking charge and restarting the military campaign. This is your loyalty to this dynasty."

"Yuan Shao rebelled against the will of Heaven, plotted to endanger the country, and, relying on his numerous forces, launched an internal offensive."

"Your Majesty, with a great sense of principle and a spirit as bright as the day, unleashes his wrath and uses his divine strategy to reach Chiqiu and annihilate the evildoers, thus saving our country from peril."

Li Ru held the imperial edict in his hand and continued to read its contents.

In fact, he could read it without looking at it. After all, the edict was written by Li Ru.

Even the seal was stamped by Li Ru, and had nothing to do with the emperor at all.

"Hey, all of this is your achievement."

Dong Zhuo slowly turned his head and looked at Dong Yu who was half a body behind him.

"Whose is different between us?"

"My achievements are also your achievements."

Dong Yu lowered his head and said indifferently.

"Good son."

Dong Zhuo was so happy.

"We destroyed the enemy at the Wei River, offered tens of thousands of heads of cattle, pacified Xiliang, and finally stabilized the borders and pacified the Rong and Di tribes. This is another achievement of yours."

Recovering Xiliang is not just about expanding territory.

It is more of a political significance.

During the reign of Emperor Huan, the imperial court's control over the two major border states of Xiliang and Bingzhou had been gradually weakening.

By the time of Emperor Ling, Bingzhou had almost been completely lost, and in the later period, Liangzhou was almost gone.

Now that Liangzhou has been recovered, it can be regarded as a demonstration of one’s attitude.

I, Dong Zhuo, have solved the problem that Emperors Huan and Ling failed to solve. This achievement can be attributed to you, the emperor, but you have to give me some benefits.

Being promoted to the title of Duke was what Dong Zhuo desired most.

"A ruler who has achieved the goal of stabilizing the empire should emphasize his virtues. He should rank officials among the people, promote good customs, diligently educate them, and be prudent in the punishment of prisoners. Officials should not be harsh, and the people should not harbor evil intentions. He should honor the imperial family and show that they will continue the legacy of the past. His virtues and achievements should all be honored. Even if Yi Yin was worthy of the heavens and the Duke of Zhou was illustrious throughout the world, they would not be compared to him."
