——Chang'an

Li Ru sat in the minister's study room and coughed from time to time.

He was too tired and his health was getting worse day by day.

Dong Zhuo had been slacking off for ten days before arriving in Chang'an for one day, and he still didn't come from time to time. He had been living in a state of intoxication and dreaming, and everything inside and outside the court was weighing on him.

Guanzhong's autumn harvest this year was pretty good, and it could finally feed everyone. Li Ru could even allocate some money and grain to Li Jue to continue sending troops to Hedong.

"What is this?" Li Ru held a book and pondered.

There were no memorials in the Han Dynasty. Those things were only available in the Qing Dynasty. The above-mentioned memorials for courtiers in the Han Dynasty were divided into four types according to their content: Zhang, memorial, table, and discussion. Chapters were used to express gratitude to the emperor, memorials were used to impeach and expose, and tables were used to express gratitude to the emperor.

State the situation and discuss different opinions.

This memorandum was written by Wang Yun, and the content of the writing was that Yuan Shu was now fleeing to Yangzhou, and Nanyang was the gate of Sili, so it should be taken over by the imperial court as soon as possible, and Sun Rui, the official of Jinwu, was recommended to be the governor of Nanyang.

This document already has Dong Zhuo's signature and seal on it, which means he agreed.

Such a major event naturally requires Dong Zhuo's permission.

What he said made sense, but Li Ru couldn't let go of Wang Yun.

Speaking of which, Wang Yun is now Li Ru's deputy.

At that time, Wang Yun, like Dong Zhuo, Qiao Mao and others, was a foreign military commander summoned to Luoyang. As a result, Luoyang was annexed. Dong Zhuo became the emperor and commanded the world, unified military power, and controlled the court. When Dong Zhuo's edict reached Wang Yun's army,

, Wang Yun immediately handed over military power, and actively helped Dong Zhuo maintain order in the court. He also made a lot of contributions when moving the capital, so he gained Dong Zhuo's trust.

Wang Yun was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and had been an official for generations. Although he was not as good as the Yang and Yuan families, he was still a first-class noble family. Dong Zhuo saw that such a person defected to him and was still loyal, so he was naturally generous.

, let him replace Yang Biao as Situ, and even named him Marquis Wen.

Yes, Marquis Wen is not Lu Bu, but Wang Yun. Lu Bu's Marquis Wen was granted the title of Marquis Wen by Wang Yun after he killed Dong Zhuo. This is why it is said in folklore that Lu Bu worshiped Wang Yun as his father.

But Dong Zhuoyue had great trust in Wang Yun, and Li Ru was even more afraid of Wang Yun.

The reason... is very simple.

Li Ru really didn't believe that a noble family like Wang Yun would be loyal to a monarch like Dong Zhuo. As his father-in-law... it was really hard to explain.

This is why Li Ruhui secretly retrieves Wang Yun's official documents every few days to review them.

"Nanyang... That day Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang and gathered so many soldiers and horses that he almost attacked Guanzhong. This scholar Sun Rui was also a good soldier. This was the first time Wang Yun recommended someone to take over the military power...

No, we need to discuss it with the Grand Master and we must not let this person leave Chang'an!"

After thinking about it, Li Ru walked out of the room and said, "Prepare the carriages and horses! Go to Xiwu! In addition, ask the landowner Bo to come to the Chancellor. I am not here, and he will make decisions on all matters."

Li Ru only believed in old people like Tian Jing.

The news that Li Ru left Chang'an soon reached Wang Yun's ears.

Not only was Li Ru afraid of Wang Yun, but Wang Yun was even more afraid of Li Ru.

In Wang Yun's heart, Dong Zhuo was just a fool. If it hadn't been for Li Ru, how would he have been able to be the Grand Master and control the court.

"Jun Rong, I think Li Ru came here for you. You should lead the troops immediately through Wuguan and out of Nanyang. Liu Biao of Jingzhou is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and one of the Eight Horsemen. He will definitely help you!"

Shisun Rui knew it was too late and immediately said goodbye and left. Wang Yun waited for him to leave and then said to the other people sitting next to him, "If Li Ru prevents Jun Rong from leaving, what should we do?"

In this room, all the people who are trusted by Wang Yun are sitting there.

There were Huang Wan, the lieutenant of Sili, Zheng Gongye, the chief minister, Yang Zan, the lieutenant of Huqiang, Zhong Yao, Xun You, the assistant minister of Huangmen, and others.

Among them, Xun You participated in Wu Fu's assassination of Dong Zhuo, but was secretly rescued by Wang Yun and hid in the palace, unknown to outsiders.

If Li Ru came from a later generation, if he looked at the list of his opponents, he would definitely have one head and two heads. It would be too difficult for him to have so many people plotting against him.

"No problem, Thief Dong is a good-looking person. Now that Li Ru has no evidence, Thief Dong must feel guilty towards the Duke. The Duke can recommend Junrong as a servant to share Li Ru's power." Huang Wan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

, then looked at Yang Zan and said, "Previously, when the prince recommended General Yang, he was blocked by Li Ru. We can take this opportunity to make General Yang the minister. In this way, as long as Li Ru is not around, we can control the minister's desk."

In the Han Dynasty, there were five ministers in the chancery, one was the minister, one was the servant, that is, the chief and deputy, and the other three were ministers.

"But how can Li Ru not be here? What's more, even if he is not here, Tian Jing and others are still in charge of the Secretariat, not to mention that there are powerful generals such as Lu Bu. It's difficult!"

"But Li Ru is full of wit, and it is the Dong thief who plots the plan. If we don't get rid of him, it will be difficult to destroy the Dong thief!" Zheng Gongye shook his head and sighed.

Zhong Yao suddenly said, "I have been looking at Li Ru these past few days, and I see that his face is gloomy. Even if he is not dying soon, he has already run out of fuel and is unable to survive.

Although the harvest in Guanzhong is good this year, I watch the sky at night and predict that there will be heavy rains next spring. Dong will ignore the government affairs and leave all matters to Li Ru. As long as the ministers can think of some way to let him stay at the minister's desk for a few days.

If you can't rest for a few nights, you will definitely get seriously ill. By then, we will have a chance!"

"But there is Lu Bu, and Thief Dong is also in Yinwu. How should we start?" Yang Zan looked at Zhong Yao and asked.

Zhong Yao touched his beard and couldn't think of any ideas for a while.

"This is easy!" Xun You suddenly said with a smile.

"Oh? What good ideas does Gongda have?" Wang Yun asked with bright eyes.

Among Cao Cao's many advisers, if Xun Yu is Xiao He, then Zhang Liang should be Xun You. In history, he hid behind the scenes and devised twelve clever strategies. Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, beheaded Yan Liang, and executed Wen Chou. Most of the fierce battles in Guandu were carried out by Qi strategies.

From him.

Xun You stood up and came to the middle. As he walked, he said, "Lü Bu, you are a tiger and a wolf! You are afraid of power but not immoral! In the past, you took refuge with Dong Zhuo for the sake of fame and fortune. As a result, when you came to Dong Zhuo's account, your official position was no more than that of a lieutenant general, and your title was no more than that of a duting lord. Although

They are called father and son, but they are actually the servants of the master. The Liangzhou army also oppressed the Bingzhou army. Lu Bu must have been dissatisfied for a long time. All he needs is an opportunity to accuse him of betraying his master!"

"Opportunity..." Wang Yun murmured to himself while falling into deep thought.

——Xi Wu

"Ah, Wen You, why did you come all the way for such a small matter?" Dong Zhuo said nonchalantly while enjoying the services of several beauties.
