Dong Zhuo was in a very bad mood, his face was gloomy and scary, and there was no smile on his fat face.
This was certainly not because he learned from Niu Fu a few days ago that Liu Cheng had humiliated Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong, two people he trusted very much, with actual actions.
It's because just now, he got news that Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, faked a document from the Three Officials and sent it to all counties and counties, calling on everyone to raise rebels and come to attack him!
Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Prefect Kong Niao, Yanzhou Prefect Liu Dai, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi... all responded and began to recruit troops and horses in their respective jurisdictions.
Get into trouble.
Suddenly, the vast area of Kandong was turbulent!
Faced with such news, it would be strange if Dong Zhuo's complexion looked better!
In addition to these, another extremely important reason is that Han Fu, Kong Yi, Liu Dai, Chang Zi, Zhang Miao and others were all local officials appointed by him personally.
The purpose is to use this method to appease and win over these people, so that these people will obey you and be used by you.
Even Yuan Shao, who had left Luoyang directly in anger, was appointed to the post of Bohai Prefect by him himself.
I just want to appease these guys.
The result is good now. After taking office, these people not only did not appreciate their kindness at all, but immediately began to use the authority they had given them non-stop to recruit troops and prepare to rebel against them!
That’s not true!
This is really unreasonable!!!
Facing such news, Dong Zhuo was about to explode with anger at this moment!
These people are so annoying and outrageous!
"My father-in-law, City Gate Colonel Wu Qiong, and Shangshu Zhou Yao came here, saying that they have something important to report to my father-in-law."
Li Ru came in and reported to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru say the names of these two people, and his chest heaved even more violently for a while, because Han Fu, Liu Dai, Zhang Zi, Zhang Miao, Kong Miao and so on were all the people he obeyed Wu Qiong and Zhou Ao.
He was appointed after his suggestion!
Even Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, who seemed to be favored by the public at this time, was all because of these two damn guys who had said something about him before to appease and win over Yuan Shao.
I believed their lies and got confused for a moment, so I made the appointment!
At this time, these two people actually dared to come over to see me?!
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was really angry!
He stood here, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Let them come in and see me!"
Hearing this, Li Ru didn't dare to stay here any longer and hurried out.
After a while, Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong came over.
At this time, Dong Zhuo looked as if nothing had happened. He was sitting in front of his desk, looking through some documents, and was very calm.
After seeing the two coming over, he greeted them with a smile.
Seeing such a reaction in their eyes made them feel relieved.
The two began to report something to Dong Zhuo.
However, not long after the report started, the topic was already brought to Liu Cheng.
"Prime Minister, my subordinates feel that Cavalry Commander Liu Cheng cannot be reused.
This person is the emperor's uncle who was recognized by the emperor personally after Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
No matter what happened before, now, they have become official clan members of the Han Dynasty.
Such people cannot be raised well.
No matter how good you are to Xiangguo, he will not be able to change his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he will not be of the same mind as Xiangguo.
Moreover, this person is arrogant and domineering and possesses great courage.
Such a Han clan clan member is not a good thing for the Prime Minister.
The subordinates thought that in order to avoid future troubles, it is better to use some means to kill this person before his wings are full..."
Wu Qiong reported this to Dong Zhuo.
Zhou Ai, the minister next to him, also spoke to help Wu Qiong from time to time, adding weight to Wu Qiong's words.
This was their revenge on Liu Cheng for humiliating them a few days ago.
When it comes to force, they really can't compare to this pig-killer.
However, there are many ways to kill someone.
Just like now.
In their opinion, Liu Cheng dared to directly refuse to meet loyal ministers and righteous men of the imperial court like himself and others, and insulted them. This meant that he was prepared to follow Dong Zhuo all the way to the dark side. He was an enemy, not a friend.
Since it can't be won over and can't be used by the original, it's better to kill it directly!
In this way, he can not only relieve the hatred of himself and others, but also eliminate one of Dong Zhuo's powerful generals!
What's not to like about making Dong Zhuo even weaker?
Seeing a smile appear on Dong Zhuo's face, and as he and others talked, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong also became more relaxed.
It seems like things can work out this time!
Liu Cheng, the man who went wild when he got his way, must be dead this time!
It was at this moment that Dong Zhuo, who was smiling brightly, suddenly changed his expression, and he slammed the document in his hand at the two of them!
"You two thieves! Look at the good things you have done!"
Dong Zhuo yelled and cursed, his voice almost roaring!
"You two have recommended so many officials to me, and I have listened to your opinions and appointed them as local officials. What now? Now these people have all rebelled!
You still have the nerve to sow discord here? Let me kill my general?!
If Niu Fu hadn't told me the reason for the matter a few days ago, I would have fallen into your trap for no reason!"
Zhou Ao and his wife, who were full of confidence just now, immediately stayed on the spot...
