After Liu Cheng left, Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu about Liu Cheng's performance today. After sending Lu Bu away, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru.
Li Ru twirled his weak beard and thought for a while, then said:
"He is a character who kills very decisively, which is somewhat beyond my expectation.
After what happened today, my father-in-law can use it with confidence.
At least when dealing with people like Yuan Shao, you can feel completely at ease."
Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this: "As I thought, I, Dong Zhuo, am not afraid of my subordinates being capable, but I am afraid that my subordinates are not capable.
As long as he has the ability, is willing to do things, and uses them for me, I can give him a satisfactory future!"
Li Ru, who had become a doctor of the Five Classics and fulfilled his long-cherished wish in life, nodded quickly when he heard this.
Although his doctorate was often called bullshit by his father-in-law, he was still a serious doctorate from the Han Dynasty, which was still very rare for Li Ru.
"Father-in-law, I feel that just killing people like Yuan Wei is not enough. We need to kill some more people to have a greater deterrent effect. Maybe we can also completely cut off the thoughts of Yuan Shao and others.
!”
After a while, Li Ru, who was twirling his beard, looked at his father-in-law and said this.
"Who to kill?"
Dong Zhuo looked at his son-in-law.
Apart from not wanting much of his son-in-law's other official positions and being a bullshit doctor, Dong Zhuo was generally very satisfied with his son-in-law.
Especially for the strategies he mentioned, I have extra trust.
"Deposed Emperor Hongnong King Liu Bian!"
Li Ru put down the hand twirling his beard, emphasized the tone, and named the person he wanted to kill.
Li Ru, who was well aware of his father-in-law's temper, did not dare to make any excuses. Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to ask, he quickly explained:
"The most important reason why Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others had such a big reaction and raised troops to fight was that my father-in-law deposed the original emperor Liu Bian without consulting these people.
The new emperor.
Now Yuan Shao and others are raising troops, and one of the important slogans they shout is to depose the current little emperor and put the deposed emperor on the throne again.
In this case, we might as well kill the deposed emperor directly!
In this case, the thoughts of these people can be completely cut off from the source, and the slogan of Yuan Shao and others will be abolished.
Moreover, in front of Emperor Ling, there were only these two flesh and blood.
The deposed emperor Liu Bian was killed, leaving only the emperor's biological son.
People like Yuan Shao, even if they don’t want to recognize them, they have to hold their noses to recognize them. Other than that, there is no other way..."
Listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
After a while, Dong Zhuo nodded: "This can be done, just as you say!"
Li Ru's hand, at some point, reached his sparse beard again.
It makes people seriously doubt that his beard is so sparse because he twisted it off like this.
"Father-in-law, I think it would be better to let Liu Cheng and Liu Kede take action this time.
Didn’t the young emperor recognize his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty?
Didn’t he recognize him as the emperor’s uncle in public?
Then we let him kill the deposed emperor!
In this case, his identity as a Han clan clan member will be completely destroyed!
I will completely stand on the opposite side of the little emperor and be firmly tied to you, father-in-law. When I use it in the future, I will be more assured and more comfortable!"
As expected, Li Ru couldn't touch his beard with his hands. As long as he touched his beard, bad water would definitely come out.
After hearing Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo fell into thinking.
After doing this for a while, Dong Zhuo slowly shook his head: "This is not appropriate."
"Today we have tested Kede by killing Yuan Wei, which is enough.
It would be too much to ask him to kill the deposed Emperor Liu Bian again. I'm afraid it won't achieve the effect you mentioned, and it will be counterproductive, alienating this person and making him resentful of me in his heart.
The human heart is the most insusceptible to temptation. Many times, just stop it. If you are tempted too much, it will lead to bad things.
Wenyou, you are smart, but you still don’t know enough about the human heart.
When it comes to employing people, tactics alone are not enough. You also need to have generosity and rewards to match, so that your subordinates cannot be cold-hearted towards you.
Otherwise, people's hearts will not be able to gather together.
I have been a soldier for most of my life, and I don’t have deep feelings about other things, but I feel deeply about this.
If I hadn't relied on these, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Li Ru nodded, indicating that he was taught.
"Then my father-in-law, who do you think should do it?"
Li Ru asked aloud.
"It's better Wenyou go ahead, this matter is too important and cannot be done by someone other than a confidant.
You are my son-in-law. You are resourceful, capable, and attentive. You are also King Hongnong's doctor. Wen You is the most suitable person to do this.
You serve as the lieutenant of King Hongnong. Even if others attack King Hongnong, in the eyes of others, you, the lieutenant, will still be involved..."
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Li Ru had no other option but to accept it.
Li Ru didn't feel any psychological pressure to take matters into his own hands and personally kill the deposed Emperor Hongnong and King Liu Bian, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to come up with such a plan.
But at this time, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was because originally, I wanted to give this dirty job to Liu Cheng and impose restrictions on Liu Cheng.
But he didn't expect that after spinning around, it would fall on his head...
