Chapter 227 Traitor Dong Zhuo or Loyal Minister Dong Zhuo
Chapter 227 Traitor Dong Zhuo or Loyal Dong Zhuo
"oh?"
After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's answer, he was very interested. He stretched out his hand to ask Li Ru to sit down and asked: "What are the advantages and disadvantages? Can Wen You please explain it in detail?"
Li Ru then said: "Sikong needs to know that Liu Deran, as a member of the Han clan, had a good relationship with Yuan Ji before. He was used by both His Majesty and the Yuan family. This is not a crime."
"Now that his true identity has surfaced, if Liu Jian really wanted to avoid offending him, the most appropriate way to get the letters from Zhang Jiao and the wealthy family would be to burn them and then secretly inform Yuan Ji about it.
He used this to win the favor of the world's leading families, but he didn't do that!"
Dong Zhuo's reaction was very quick, and he immediately figured it out.
"Liu Deran also regards aristocratic families, well-dressed and well-dressed men as his rivals, but he just keeps hiding it!"
Li Ru cupped his hands and said, "That's right! Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept this thing secretly to this day."
Dong Zhuo nodded slowly.
Li Ru suddenly asked again: "May I ask Mr. Dong how you entered the capital?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Of course he was introduced to the capital by the Yuan family. When He Jin summoned me to the capital with the military order of the general, the person behind this was the Yuan family. The Yuan family intended to use the eunuchs to marry him.
In the fight for He Jin, we lured me to the capital and used me as a sword to kill all the dissidents in the capital!"
Throughout history, Dong Zhuo did show kindness to the scholars in the early days of his rule.
No one can see a person's true heart, but it's up to everyone in the world to comment.
Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing Dong Zhuo praising Li Ru so highly, Jia Xu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Moreover, even if Mr. Dong blames the matter on Liu Jian in the future, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Everything can only be carried by Mr. Dong himself. After all, among the people who jointly annihilated Zhang Jiao back then,
In addition to Liu Jian, Dong Gong is also here."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "So, if I want to survive, I can only oppose Yuan Wei. However, I did think about abolishing the establishment before, not for the Yuan family, but for myself."
"Old thief Yuan knows in his heart that if a person with a very prosperous family cannot take another step forward, he will be hated by others for two or three generations!"
"Now that the emperor is deceased, he has a relative who is not alone and widowed. The ultimate goal of the old thief Yuan is to take advantage of the changes in the capital to depose the emperor and support King Chenliu, so that the emperor and the royal family will be orphaned and widowed!"
"Wen You is really a great talent!" Dong Zhuo burst into laughter, pointed at Li Ru, and said, "It is my great fortune that such a wise man is willing to join me!"
No wonder Dong Zhuo was excited. To be honest, everyone wants to be a loyal minister rather than a traitor. Dong Zhuo also knows that once he follows Yuan Wei's wishes and abolishes the establishment of Luoyang, it will be meaningless.
There is no doubt that although he may have power for a while, he will definitely become the public enemy of the world.
It seemed that Dong Zhuo admired and valued Li Ru very much.
Of course, he himself was not a loyal minister.
Li Ru cupped his hands and said: "Dong Gong is indeed a powerful man. It is really Mr. Li's luck that Li Ru can join Dong Gong."
"Liu Deran, you really didn't hold it in!"
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly stopped.
Li Ru continued: "The second benefit is that it can temporarily win over the Emperor and Queen Mother He to Gong Dong's side."
Even if it was Jia Xu, he couldn't help but look at Li Ru deeply.
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "I also think this is the truth!"
After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo became a little excited.
Li Ru had a somewhat proud smile on his face.
But it's no wonder that if it were anyone else, who wouldn't be shocked after hearing what Li Ru just said?
Even Jia Xu is no exception.
To be honest, Dong Zhuo still had expectations in his heart for the nobles in the world.
Li Ru sighed deeply and said, "If it hadn't been for Mr. Dong who knew it in his heart, if it had been anyone else, he would have been put to death by the Yuan family long ago."
"Now it seems that as long as Mr. Dong takes the incident of Zhang Jiao's suicide note as an opportunity to show his loyalty to the emperor, he will be monopolizing the power of the government. But in the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, Mr. Dong is now the most loyal minister in the Han Dynasty! Then Dong Gong is the most loyal minister in the Han Dynasty!
You can be the confidant and arm of the emperor!"
He looked deeply at Li Ru, then a sneer appeared on his lips.
"From now on, Duke Dong and the nobles of the world will always be on opposite sides, and it will be difficult to turn back! Just like Wang Fu, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong, oh, even worse than them! The nobles of the world will regard Duke Dong as a savage beast.
"
Although you can be famous for a while, I'm afraid the road ahead will be extremely difficult.
Dong Zhuo stood still and fell into deep contemplation.
He stood up in a hurry and stomped back and forth in the hall, his big, bearded face flushed with excitement.
For example, he recruited a large number of famous people, such as Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, etc., and at the same time sent a large number of famous people to serve in local areas, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Wei, Zhang Zi, Ying Shao, Zhang
Miao et al.
"Because of his unkindness, Duke Dong has nothing to worry about. Now he is using the gift from Liu Jian to deal with a group of well-dressed men headed by the Yuan family. It is in harmony with the current situation. Although Duke Dong cannot establish his power by abolishing it,
But using this to establish loyalty is also a great strategy and a benefit!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw him making a long bow to Dong Zhuo and saying: "But in addition to these two benefits, there is also a harm!"
But so what?
After all, if he really wanted to stand completely against the world's nobles, he would not have set out to rehabilitate Chen Fan, Dou Wu and the party officials.
These are the reasons why he hoped to reconcile with the gentry after taking power in history.
"After listening to Dong Gong's words, Li already understood that the split between Dong Gong and the Yuan family was inevitable, because from the moment he summoned Dong Gong to the capital, what the Yuan family wanted to do must be based on sacrificing Dong Gong."
But now, if we look at things from another angle, this powerful minister may also become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty in a sense!
Although it may not be able to be famous for eternity, I think it won’t be infamy for eternity!
Dong Zhuo raised his hand towards him and said with a smile: "Keep talking!"
"Moreover, they still want to throw this charge on me in the end, but how can I do what they want?"
But the problem is, it ultimately failed.
Jia Xu remained silent, as if he couldn't hear.
Li Ru smiled and said: "In addition to the eunuchs, these dissidents also include He Jin. They are the emperor and the Queen Mother He today."
But after Li Ruyi's analysis today, Dong Zhuo discovered that not only could he establish his authority, but he seemed to be able to become a close minister of the emperor and a guard of honor for the royal family. From a certain perspective, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a loyal minister who maintained the dignity of the Han Dynasty.
point.
"Although the emperor is young, he is close to adulthood after all. Although the Queen Mother He is a female, she followed the late emperor in the past and was somewhat influenced by the government. Now that the eunuchs, He Jin and Miao are all dead, the emperor and the Queen Mother must want to find a new one.
To check and balance the power of the Yue family, if Dong Gong abolished the establishment to establish his authority and established Chenliu as the emperor, he would be pushing himself against the emperor and the Han Dynasty. "
"It's a pity that King Chenliu was detained by Liu Jian after all! Otherwise, I really wanted to establish my authority."
Li Ru sighed: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's normal. Who in the world would give benefits for free? As far as Mr. Dong is concerned, Liu Deran can be regarded as both a partner and a competitor!"
"
But as far as Dong Zhuo was concerned at that time, he really had no other way to go!
What a great insight!
When Dong Zhuo first came to Beijing, he had a falling out with Yuan Wei. Deep down in his heart, he probably wanted to be a powerful minister! A powerful minister who could threaten the imperial power!
Dong Zhuo stopped and looked at Li Ru: "What's the harm?"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Yes, I know the thoughts of the old thief Yuan Wei best. In the five generations of the Yuan family, there have been six people sitting in the third position. It can be said that they are extremely prestigious."
"After Liu Jian got these relics from Zhang Jiao, why didn't he take them out and only handed them to Dong Gong today? It was because he didn't dare to do it himself!"
In fact, a complete falling out with the scholars was an inevitable result no matter what Dong Zhuo did, so it was not considered a disadvantage.
But these things have been witnessed by history, which Dong Zhuo still doesn't know.
After hearing these words, Dong Zhuo stood still in the hall.
He silently raised his head and looked out the window, murmuring: "People's hearts change, some things are not static! It doesn't matter!"
