As Liu Jian expected, Dong Zhuo's envoy arrived less than two hours after Yuan Ji's envoy left.
This time it was not Li Jue who came, but Guo Si, another close confidant of Dong Zhuo.
And what's interesting is that this time, it was still the deputy envoy, Jia Xu, who came with Guo Si.
The chief envoy was changed to another, but the deputy envoy was still the same.
Guo Si expressed Dong Zhuo's greetings to Liu Jian and asked Liu Jian how Liu Jian had considered the proposal Dong Zhuo had given Liu Jian last time.
Liu Jian went straight to the point and said to Guo Si: "Dong Gong's sincerity really moved Jian. But now something big is going to happen in Luoyang City. Someone contacted Liu and said that Dong Gong was a great evil in the dynasty and a treacherous minister who would bring harm to the world."
, asked me to raise an army to fight against him, now Liu is in a dilemma, I wonder what Dong Gong should teach me?"
Guo Si was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Dong Gong came all the way from Xizhou to be rescued by King Qin. He has made great contributions and has made great contributions to the country and the people. Who is so vicious and dares to slander Dong Gong like this! How worthy!"
Cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!”
Liu Jian smiled lightly and didn't answer. He just turned to look at Jia Xu and asked, "Deputy Ambassador Jia, what do you think?"
Jia Xu cupped his hands towards Liu Jian and said, "Dong Gong and Liu Shijun have known each other for a long time. My Dong Gong sincerely invites you to seek cooperation with Shijun. This sincerity is more sincere than that of some noble families."
A lot."
Liu Jian said with a half-smile: "The problem is, these nobles have never wanted to move, but Dong Gong forced them to do it. When they move, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over. What do you think Dong Gong should do about this matter?"
Can I give you an explanation?"
"But if Mr. Dong hadn't been behind the scenes, I don't believe the Yuan family would have acted rashly! The Yuan family has so much background. Unless they were extremely angry, they would definitely not take action easily."
"Then why did the envoy..."
Dong Zhuo nodded slowly, then suddenly looked at Jia Xu: "What do you think of Wen He?"
Guo Si was furious after hearing this.
Of course it was recommended in the name of Niu Fu, not Jia Xu.
And these words, which reflect the noblest character of human nature, have been flaunted by noble families from generation to generation.
He really didn't expect that Liu Jian would give such an answer.
Liu Jian smiled and said: "I have another thing in my hand. If Mr. Dong is interested, I am willing to give it to you. I just hope that Mr. Dong can agree to my request. That's all."
"Promise him!"
Jia Xu sighed softly.
Guo Si raised his hands to Dong Zhuo with a look of displeasure on his face and said, "Liu Jian said that if Sikong wants to show his sincerity, he only needs to send General Zuo's seal to his camp. After the things Liu Jian promised to Sikong arrive, the official ceremony can be made
That’s it.”
In addition to the inheritance of Confucian classics, the most important thing for those who belong to the noble family is their reputation to hide their shame from the world.
Liu Jian didn't reply, but looked at him slightly sarcastically.
Guo Si seemed to be hesitant when he heard this, but Jia Xu said: "It's okay."
Without further ado, a rather handsome-looking middle-aged scribe came to Dong Zhuo.
The left side should be treated as a human being and the right side should be treated as a human being, it’s all up to you!
This is the first time I heard that there is such a union in the world!
Guo Si's face was gloomy and quite unhappy, but Jia Xu's expression did not change at all.
No matter how much people are involved in secret, some things must not be brought to the surface. Once those dark corners are brought to the surface, the prestige and reputation accumulated over a hundred years or even hundreds of years will most likely be lost.
It will be destroyed in an instant.
Guo Bang's expression became a little embarrassed, and he could only nod in response: "That's right, that's right."
Liu Jian shook his head and said, "I won't agree!"
After all, Dong Zhuo was a rare hero in ten years. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately issued an order to Guo Si.
Although the inspection and examination system has been corrupted at its core, on the surface, it still pursues "filial piety" and "honesty."
…………
Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo had known each other for more than a day or two. They understood each other quite well. Dong Zhuo's behavior could not be hidden from him, which was reasonable.
"If you have these things in hand, then if you want to control Luoyang or punish those who are rebellious and disobedient in the court, it will be justifiable!"
What is the greatest filial piety?
It is loyalty to the emperor!
This person is Li Ru, who holds a doctorate in Taixue Middle School. Due to some special reasons, he cannot come forward to discuss politics.
Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Jiao was able to coordinate the eight states when he first raised his army, it must have been supported by the well-dressed men of each state, but there is no evidence after all. Besides, the emperor still had to use scholars to rule the country, and after Zhang Jiao's uprising, for
The impact on aristocratic families is really huge.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was undoubtedly the most massive and influential uprising since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
So this person was recommended to Dong Zhuo.
"The next day, if Ding Yuan and Zhang Yi really send troops to Luoyang, I will also send troops to accompany them, but it will only be to build up momentum and will not seriously fight against Dong Gong. In this regard, I also invite you two to lead Dong Gong.
Talk back."
Dong Zhuo immediately nodded and said: "Come here, call Li Ru!"
…………
If Dong Zhuo can get this big card at this moment...
"The various states' officials read the letters about Wangmen's affair with Zhang Jiao?!"
Liu Jian glanced back and forth at the two people in front of him and said: "To be honest, I really don't want to be an enemy of Dong Gong, but I also don't want to be an enemy of the Yuan family. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu will only be loyal to His Majesty."
, Liu will be friendly with anyone who is your Majesty’s loyal minister. I ask you two to send a reply to Mr. Dong, saying that you want to cooperate with me. This is the bottom line.”
Jia Xu said: "No matter what Dong Gong has done, his original intention is to make peace with you and support the Han Dynasty together. Please know this."
He just asked: "Liu Shijun, if you were in Dong Gong's position, would you agree to this request?"
"Sikong, are you too indulgent of that Liu Jian?" Guo Si asked angrily.
But it didn't come out openly, which doesn't mean that this matter has passed. Today, there are still yellow turbans in various states and places in the Han Dynasty.
We agreed to be friendly with Dong Zhuo, but on the surface, we still want to be associated with the Yuan family. Isn't this just fooling us into thinking we are fools?
Guo Bang said: "The Yuan family wants Liu Shijun to join forces with Ding Yuan, Zhang Yi and others to attack Dong Sikong, right? Liu Shijun is a wise man, so he must not fall into their instigation."
After Guo Si and Jia Xu returned to Luoyang, they went to see Dong Zhuo overnight and conveyed Liu Jian's words to him intact.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly and stomped back and forth in the hall, with a shocked and excited expression on his face.
Guo Si lived in Liangzhou all year round and knew very little about the political struggle between the DPRK and China. He was very puzzled when he heard this.
It has to be said that those letters between the Wenyue family and Zhang Jiao are indeed very important to Dong Zhuo at this juncture.
Jia Xu said, "Sikong, I have carefully considered this matter and found that I am really in a dilemma. The doctor Li Ru who surrendered to Sikong a few days ago seems to me to be quite capable and far-reaching in his wisdom. Sikong might as well
How about testing this person by questioning him?"
What is this?
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this.
Guo Bang said hurriedly: "Liu Shijun, please don't misunderstand me. Mr. Dong is an upright man, but he is not what Shijun thinks."
Therefore, there are some things that people have not stated openly.
After some investigation by Jia Xu, it was found that this man had far-reaching knowledge and intelligence, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At this point, I'm afraid there's no point in hiding it any longer.
Therefore, the people who Li Ru is very grateful to now are Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand with a smile and said: "At this time, it is better to be indulgent... Liu Jian has to say it, how can he agree to my request?"
Especially in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, I heard that large-scale Yellow Turban rebellions have recently occurred.
"The last official, Li Ru, pays homage to Sikong."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Li Wenyou, I have something to ask you now. This can be said to be a test for you. Please listen carefully."
Li Ru immediately listened attentively.
After listening, Li Ru said: "This matter has advantages and disadvantages, it depends on Sikong's choice."
