Dong Zhuo was very puzzled at this time. Yuan Wei did not praise or refute himself, but just looked at him with a worried expression. This was really strange. The minds of literati are always so twisted, and they are indeed not as easy to get along with as the barbarians in the northwest.
.
"My knowledge is shallow and my words are inappropriate. Please forgive me. Sir, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. I will only obey my orders."
Dong Zhuo stood up, clasped his fists, bowed and said.
Now the Yuan family is his last supporter. If the Yuan family is dissatisfied with him, his future will be bleak.
The four words "obey orders" obviously touched Yuan Wei's heart. When he heard these four words, Yuan Wei's face became gentle.
"Zhongying, what are you doing? Sit down quickly."
"I'm not sighing because your views are wrong. What I'm sighing is for the people of the world. First there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then the Qiang Rebellion, and then the eunuchs' chaos in government. Your Majesty was also deeply deceived by the eunuchs. Seeing that
The world is about to be in chaos. There is no one around now, Zhong Ying, don’t you have any plans of your own?"
After Yuan Wei finished speaking, he stared at Dong Zhuo with burning eyes.
Dong Zhuo now understood what Yuan Wei meant. There was something in his words, which was clearly to test his loyalty.
"He is a rough man. If he hadn't come to my rescue many times, he would have died in prison long ago. I'm going to do everything I can to repay the kindness of my boss!"
After saying this, Dong Zhuo knelt down and kowtowed.
Now Yuan Wei smiled happily and helped him up with his own hands, "Haha, I really saw the right person. Zhong Ying has won my heart with his loyalty, kindness and courage. It's really not worth my troubles for you."
After another long silence, Dong Zhuo felt at ease after expressing his determination and did not rush him, waiting for Yuan Wei to continue his lecture.
Yuan Wei was not in a hurry and slowly sipped the tea.
After his mood calmed down, Yuan Wei finally made up his mind, but still said cautiously: "Zhong Ying, what do you think is the general trend of the world?"
"I am really stupid, please give me some advice!"
Dong Zhuo thought about it for a moment, and realized that it would be wrong to talk too much now. A hundred words would be worse than silence, and it would be better to pretend to be dumbfounded.
"Since Lu Qiang, the constant servant of the Central Committee, committed suicide, the general situation of the world has become irreversible."
Yuan Wei despised Dong Zhuo from the bottom of his heart. This man was born in a good family in the six counties. He was murderous. He didn't know if he was of Qiang origin. This man had a shallow foundation. Without the support of the Yuan family, he would fall into the trap in a minute.
Dust, so Yuan Wei didn't need his answer, he said as if talking to himself.
Lu Qiang was regarded as a loyal person among the ten ministers, and his advice to Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was for the country and the people. Liu Hong once made him a Duxiang Marquis, but he refused because of his status as a eunuch.
Lu Qiang himself was not given the title of Marquis, and wrote a letter directly admonishing Liu Hong on four matters:
One: Advise Liu Hong not to make eunuchs a marquis, to prevent eunuchs from doing evil;
Second: Advise Liu Hong to take corvee lightly, reduce the expenses in the palace, and govern the world with benevolent politics;
Third: Advise Liu Hong not to build large-scale construction projects in his hometown of Hejian, and to avoid extravagance.
Fourth: He defended Cai Yong and others, and finally saved Cai Yong's life.
In short, what Lu Qiang said was good advice. If Liu Hong believed it and killed all the other regular servants except Lu Qiang, the Han Dynasty would not be resurrected. Unfortunately, Liu Hong knew his loyalty but could not use it, even because he repeatedly
The loyal words are offensive to his ears and he gradually alienates him.
The Yellow Turban chaos broke out, and Liu Hong, who was at a loss what to do, finally thought of him again. Lu Qiang did not have the slightest resentment because of Liu Hong's alienation, and once again advised Liu Hong, urging him to kill the corrupt, ban him from the party, and take the money.
He used his own small treasury to reward the three armies. It can be said that Lu Qiang played a major role in lifting the ban on the party!
Unfortunately, what Lu Qiang said finally aroused the vigilance of the other regular servants, who framed him one after another. The eunuchs said in front of Liu Hong that Lu Qiang had a disloyal heart and colluded with the party members in an attempt to overthrow the emperor. Liu Hong became suspicious and had him arrested.
Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang would rather die than give in. In despair, he shouted, "If I die, chaos will break out. My husband wants to be loyal to the country, how can he treat the jailer!" Then he committed suicide!
Lu Qiang represents the loyal and righteous people in the eunuch group. After Lu Qiang's death, there are only flatterers left among the eunuchs, and there is no one who speaks out for justice!
"Nowadays, His Majesty has close relatives of eunuchs and virtuous ministers, and it is known to everyone in the world. Since the death of Lu Qiang, the eunuchs have acted recklessly and deceived Your Majesty into doing many ridiculous things. There is no need to worry about the yellow turban thieves, and there is no need to worry about the Qiang thieves. These are all diseases of the mustard.
Nowadays, everyone has their own thoughts, which is my big man's inner trouble. After the party was lifted from the ban, they slowly attached themselves to the general He Jin. I don't know their plan. Isn't it to kill all the eunuchs? Isn't the banner of the Qiang thieves this time '
Kill the eunuchs? This is just what they want!"
Yuan Wei paused and continued, "The party members have been sharpening their knives, but these geldings are still in a state of dissatisfaction and fooling His Majesty into amassing the world's wealth. Is this something that a human minister can do? And Huangfu Song is the leader.
The northwest generals also have hidden agendas, and of course you, Zhongying, are not among them."
"Unlike Huangfu Song, so-and-so has the support of his ancestors. If he hadn't been promoted by the boss, how would he have ever succeeded?"
Dong Zhuo added another sentence at the right time.
Yuan Wei waved his hand, "Zhong Ying is too modest. You are here today entirely by fighting for your life with a knife and a gun. Naturally, you are different from them. I am just doing my best to push the boat along."
Yuan Wei despised him as a person in his heart, but he would not show it at this time. In the future, the prosperity and wealth of the Yuan family will still depend on Dong Zhuo's knife.
"I think back then, when the 'Liangzhou Sanming' was there, the Qiang people would be pacified or massacred and suppressed, and the Qiang people would be obedient. Is it possible that no one can deal with the Qiang people now? I don't think so. It's just that everyone knows that 'a cunning rabbit will kill a lackey.
The principle of "cooking" is not to go to the extreme effort to kill them, but to support the thieves to respect themselves. Huangfu Song first put down the Yellow Turban thieves and has become famous all over the world. If he puts down the Qiang rebellion again, the brave people in the world will only follow his lead.
At that time, if he supports his troops and respects himself, he may even conspire to usurp the throne."
What Yuan Wei said is very serious.
"What do you mean, Mr. Yi?"
"Zhong Ying is here as Huangfu Song's deputy. Even if he wins, it is all due to him. So I suggest that the purpose of Zhong Ying's visit is to kill thieves secondly and to gain military morale first!"
"Zhong Ying will show off his methods at that time and try to restrain him. As long as the Qiang people are not making too much noise, he will leave them alone. Huangfu Song had offended Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others before, and he returned without success in time.
If we take action, those eggless eunuchs will eat him without even a single bone."
"When the time comes, Zhong Ying's army is in control, and he can march westward to quell the Qiang chaos, and you will be the hero who will rule the world!"
Yuan Wei looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile.
"Everyone has good advice, so I should listen to it. If the army is in control, I would like to make the boss the master of the world!"
Dong Zhuo was so happy that he nodded repeatedly and spoke unscrupulously.
"No, no, if I have the chance, I would only like to be Yiyin Huoguang, not a thief who steals the country."
Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, seeing Dong Zhuo's embarrassed look, he added, "At that time, if there are people who are disobedient, can Zhong Ying help me kill them?"
"Only obey the orders of the boss!"
Dong Zhuo expressed his stance repeatedly.
…
"I'm here to suppress thieves. If I don't attack, should I appease them? Or should I wait for them to fight among themselves and defeat themselves?"
Huangfu Song was also confused at this time, but Fu Wei's face across from him was calm and calm.
After Huangfu Song came to Beijing, the first thing he did was to meet his old subordinate Fu Wei. Who knew that the first advice Fu Wei gave him was not to take the initiative.
"General, don't be anxious. Sit down and listen to me slowly."
Fu Wei and Huangfu Song had an irresistible friendship. They hardly talked to each other, so they were not constrained by each other.
"General, does he know what banner the Qiang thieves are flying?"
"Kill the eunuchs?"
"Yes! This is the banner. Now is the best time to kill the eunuchs! As long as you don't give in at the front, the pressure on His Majesty's side will become greater and greater. When the time comes, the courtiers will give you more advice, and your Majesty will probably
Nine times out of ten, he will obey. When the time comes, the general will slaughter all the thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and then the general will send his troops to the west. How can the mere Qiang thieves be his opponents? At that time, Yuyu will clarify that we will do our best to assist your majesty, and then Zhongxing will be able to do so.
see!"
Fu Wei said enthusiastically.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
Huangfu Song frowned. When it came to marching and fighting, he was naturally able to capture him, but when it came to fighting in the court, he seemed at a loss. Previously, when Yan Zhong was here, most of the relations between the court and the court were handled by him, but he did not
Something went wrong, but now Yan Zhong doesn't know where he is. The only person he trusts now is Fu Wei.
"What's wrong with this? The general is worried that he will be accused of being 'fearful of the enemy'?"
