After listening to Lu Qiang's words, the wine cup in Dong Zhuo's hand fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
He stared at Lu Qiang, who was standing silently below, with a pair of bull's eyes as big as copper bells.
To be honest, Dong Zhuo is really frightened now.
Although he had already had the idea of moving the capital in the middle of the battle with Yuan Shao, he had not mentioned this matter to anyone yet and only thought about it secretly in his mind.
After all, moving the capital is a big deal.
Luoyang City involves the interests of all parties, and the chain of interests cannot be easily changed by just a few words.
If it is not done well, it will be easy for Dong Zhuo to fall into a passive situation where he will be criticized by the public.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo never dared to bring this matter to public discussion.
He also wanted to wait for a good opportunity to see when the capital relocation could be announced.
Who would have thought that before Dong Zhuo made the announcement, Lu Qiang would clarify his thoughts first.
To be more precise, it should be Liu Jian who made it clear what he was thinking.
Dong Zhuo's performance shocked Lu Qiang.
It's not that Dong Zhuo's gaffe is anything special, but that Dong Zhuo's gaffe just shows that Liu Jian guessed his thoughts correctly.
Since Liu Jian guessed correctly on this matter, doesn't it mean that Liu Jian can still guess thoroughly on other events.
Lu Qiang's head ached when he thought of this.
To be honest, subconsciously, he really hoped that Liu Jian's guess was not so accurate.
Dong Zhuo stared at Lu Qiang and said hoarsely:
"Who said I'm going to move the capital?"
Lu Qiang saluted Dong Zhuo: "The Chinese dialect spoken by the Prime Minister was spoken by Liu Deran."
"You actually take the bullshit Liu Deran said seriously?"
Faced with Dong Zhuo's violent mood, Lu Qiang actually calmed down.
"When I returned to the Prime Minister, the old slave was just a chamberlain who conveyed a message to Liu Deran on behalf of the Emperor and the Prime Minister. He then conveyed what Liu Deran said to His Majesty and the Prime Minister intact. As for the authenticity of what Liu Deran said, the old slave did not know very well.
."
After hearing what Lu Qiang said, Dong Zhuo lost his temper at that time.
It's really rough words but not rough reasoning. There really isn't anything wrong with what they say.
People are just messengers, so what's the point of lecturing them?
After taking a deep breath, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and asked Lu Qiang to sit down.
Lu Qiang was very obedient. Dong Zhuo asked him to sit down, and he sat down immediately.
Dong Zhuo sighed: "What else did Liu Deran say?"
Lu Qiang said: "Liu Deyan, if he is in the position of Prime Minister, he must consider moving the capital. If the Prime Minister does not move the capital, he may have a worrying future. Luoyang is not a place where the Prime Minister can stay for a long time."
Dong Zhuo reached out and gently rubbed his temples.
What kind of monster is this Liu Jian?
How could he guess everything so accurately?
Is there anything in this world that he doesn't understand?
After sighing, Dong Zhuo told Lu Qiang: "Tell me everything about moving the capital... whatever Liu Deran said to you, tell me verbatim."
"promise."
Lu Qiang was very obedient and told Dong Zhuo in detail Liu Jian's words and opinions.
But of course he did not completely retell the context of his conversation with Liu Jian, but selectively told Dong Zhuo the essence of their conversation.
Including Dong Zhuo's current position in the world, as well as the resentment of the Kwantung gentry towards Dong Zhuo, as well as the irreconcilable conflicts between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung gentry... and all the various events in this war...
Finally, Lu Qiang talked about the position of today's emperor and queen mother in this capital relocation and future struggles.
Dong Zhuo kept squinting his eyes and listened carefully without interrupting a sentence. It was not until Lu Qiang finished the last word that he smiled.
"What a great Liu Deran, I really admire him! Alas, I don't know how much great things such a person can do in the future..."
"Not only me, but the Emperor and the Queen Mother are also involved. It seems that the two new policies he proposed to me... I must implement them?"
Lu Qiang said: "Liu Deran did not tell the old slave whether the Prime Minister would definitely promulgate the new policy he proposed. He just asked the old slave to pass the words to the Prime Minister - as for whether to do it or not, it is all in the Prime Minister's mind!"
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily.
"I think besides the message you want to convey to me, the emperor also has something to convey to me, right?"
"Yes, just as Xiangguo guessed, I want to return to Luoyang to report to the emperor!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand to Lu Qiang and said: "Go, go to Luoyang and report to the emperor. Tell the emperor that I will return to Luoyang soon. I will naturally discuss some matters with your Majesty and His Highness in person."
"promise."
Lu Qiang then paid his respects to Dong Zhuo.
After Lu Qiang left, Dong Zhuo began to play with the wine baron on his desk, his eyes flashing with envy from time to time.
"What a great Liu Deran. He can always think what ordinary people can't think and understand what others cannot. I have lived for more than sixty years in vain, and in the end I can't even compare to a twenty-year-old boy."
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo felt extremely sad.
To be honest, although Liu Jian had already said what Dong Zhuo was thinking, Dong Zhuo could not help but follow the direction Liu Jian said.
First of all, it is necessary to relocate the capital.
After the capital was moved, in order to maintain stability in the court, perhaps there was no other way to let the emperor rule personally.
As for Liu Jian's two new policies - in fact, Dong Zhuo can implement them now or not, it all depends on what he wants to do.
If implemented, it will undoubtedly make one's reputation outstanding, and at the same time, it can also take the opportunity to recruit some of the poorer children in the world for one's own use.
But the disadvantage is that from now on, even if he has completely offended the nobles in the world, they will become incompatible with each other.
But if you think about it more carefully, Dong Zhuo is already incompatible with the nobles in the world.
What does it matter if we do more New Deals or less New Deals?
Dong Zhuo was a wise man, and he could see how much harm Liu Jian's two new policies had done to the gentry group.
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, but he had a problem, that is, he must retaliate for his anger.
The harm done to him by the nobles all over the world was really too deep.
That being the case, let us hurt each other!
…
Although all parties are still at war, they are actually at a truce with each other.
After all, everyone has their own things to be busy with right now.
After Yang Hong returned to Shouchun, Yuan Shu originally thought that Liu Jian would send Yuan Chong to him as agreed.
Originally, he was still there to take a bath. But what he didn't expect was news that he couldn't accept.
Through Lu Zhi's recommendation, Yuan Chong, the youngest son of the Yuan family, officially entered the Zheng School, not as a disciple, but as one of Zheng Yi's disciples.
Yuan Chong, the youngest son of the Yuan family in Runan, became a disciple of the Zheng family who was well versed in ancient and modern literature. This incident caused a huge stir in the entire scholarly community.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Yuan of Runan is very happy about this matter.
There may be only one person who is unhappy, and that is Yuan Shu.
…
Although he is currently engaged in a public opinion war with Yuan Shao that can influence the world situation, Yuan Shu is still calm and composed.
When Gai relaxes every day, he must relax, and no one can affect his leisurely mood.
Now, when Yuan Shu finishes his official duties every day, he will gather a group of graceful dancers to perform wonderful dances for Yuan Shu.
While drinking, Yuan Shu watched the dancers dance. Seeing the excitement, he ended up dancing with the dancers in long sleeves and had a great time.
Usually at the end of the banquet, Yuan Shu would return to the Nuan Pavilion with the two dancers in his arms to entertain the spring night.
Yuan Shu is still like this today.
However, before Yuan Shu could order all the dancers to accompany him into the Nuan Pavilion today, a scout hurriedly entered the meeting hall.
"Your Majesty! The Northern Scout has sent a message. There is news about Yuan Chong. Please make your decision!"
Yuan Shu was watching the dance and saw the enthusiasm. When he heard the scout's report, he was overjoyed.
He laughed loudly and said happily: "Liu Deran must be sending my nephew back. This is very good, very good! The man named Liu is really serious about it. It seems that Yuan finally defeated Liu Deran once, haha,
Very good, very good!”
After saying that, Yuan Shu reached out his hand and said, "Come on, give Yuan the report from the spies from the north!"
Now Yuan Shu was very happy, and he had already begun to imagine the wonderful scene where he would take his nephew to make Yuan family in Runan.
