"Because of my lack of virtue, I rarely encounter evil, panic, and don't know what to do. At this time, if I am in trouble, the ancestral temple will have no worship, and the country will have no place. The evil forces will covet it, divide the Xia, and lead the land.

People, I have nothing to gain, that is, the fate of my great ancestor will fall to the ground. I work hard and sleep late at night, mourning in my heart, saying, "I am only an ancestor but my father, and my thighs and shoulders are first upright. Who among them can bow to me?" Fortunately.

Lai Tianbu

Abandoned, he gave birth to the prime minister, protected our royal family, and promoted relief in times of difficulty. I am truly dependent on him... You have the power to rule the world, and you should attach great importance to your clear virtues.

In the prison, the officials are not harsh, and the people are not caring; they worship the imperial family, show their unparalleled inheritance, and old virtues and previous achievements, regardless of their rank; although Yi Ying is in the imperial heaven, Zhou Gongguang is in the world, Fang is scornful.

I heard that the former kings established Mingde, divided the land and the people, respected their favors, and prepared their gifts. Therefore, the royal family of Fanhan has been around forever.

...Now, the ten counties of Liangzhou, Fufeng on the right, Fengyi on the left, Wuwei, Jincheng, Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Wudu, Hanzhong, and Nanyang, are granted the title of Duke of Qin...and Jiuxi is added as the king, and he respects them.

Listen to my orders...Yes

Use Xijun's big chariot, one military chariot, and two black and white horses... Use the Xijun's crown robe, and the red saddle to match it... Use the music of Xijunxuan County and the dance of six hundred people.

It is to use Xijun to live in Zhuhu... It is to use Xijun

Nabi Yideng... is to use Xijun's three hundred warriors. Junjie Qiantian punishment... is to use Xijun's ax and ax.

, Xuan Ya Qian... is made of Xijun

The Qin State has appointed a prime minister, and he has many ministers and hundreds of buildings, all of which are like the system of princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty. Go to Qin, and respect my order! I will give you a simple look. When you shine, you will use it to the end.

Show your virtue and praise my great ancestor for giving up his life!"

"Wenyou, what's going on? Why did His Majesty suddenly issue such a decree?"

Rubbing the scroll in his hand made of precious materials such as silk and gold thread, what appeared on Dong Zhuo's face at this moment was neither twisted rage nor a see-through sneer, nor an ecstatic gaffe. Facing Dong Zhuo, Li Ru couldn't help but

He secretly wiped his eyes and confirmed again and again before he could believe it. The expression on Dong Zhuo's face at this moment was actually - confused!

Although the weight of the silk fabric was nothing to the battle-hardened Dong Zhuo, it now seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties. No, even a thousand catties of weight could not make Dong Zhuo's firm hands tremble at all. But now

The hand holding the scroll was trembling - it was almost invisible at first. Now it is getting bigger and bigger. It is swaying up, down, left, right and right.

The owner of that hand probably feels the same way now.

Want to refuse? It seems not only inappropriate but also somewhat unwilling.

But accept it? It seems that I have fallen into the rhythm commanded by those enemies.

A while ago, he had just laughed at Li Shushi's helplessness towards Wei Jun. But when something similar happened to him...

The hand holding the scroll seemed to be shaking even more violently, as if one hand could no longer bear such a heavy burden.

Tangled, confused...

Tangled in the tempting and delicious looking fat bait in front of me; confused about the choice of the way forward.

"Confucianism believes that this should be a kind of test for us by the courtiers. It is very likely that they want to test what we want to get? Do we have any unreasonable thoughts about the supreme throne? At the same time, they also want to test us.

It is a test whether we have the confidence to incorporate them into our system. If we accept them, with the abilities and connections of the children of those aristocratic families, we will undoubtedly

It has brought us a lot of benefits, but it means that many of our previous methods need to be restrained. After all, treating ourselves and treating our enemies are completely different things. We even need to acquiesce to some of their small actions, which will undoubtedly make

Our control over the entire situation in Chang'an has decreased, or we may have to invest more manpower and energy in collecting convincing 'evidence'."

"What do you think?"

"My son-in-law thought..." He raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Zhuo, who seemed to be thinking and wandering about heaven and earth. Li Ru hesitated for a rare moment, and then his face showed a ferocious look, as if he had been hit hard.

Determination is average.

"Then it depends on what the Prime Minister has in mind."

"Oh? Interesting. Wenyou, you haven't been like this for a long time. Let's talk freely. You know my habits."

"Then my son-in-law is bold!"

He straightened his wrinkle-free Confucian shirt and straightened the silk scarf on his head. Then he looked at Dong Zhuo with a serious look on his face, bowed deeply, and then slowly replied:

"If the Prime Minister wants to have some peace, then please summon the generals now to cleanse the big and small forces in Chang'an City, and then block Tongguan, Wuguan, Pubanjin and other passes from the east, and have a stable general in the middle of Chang'an to provide support.

;Choose a discerning person to carry the gold beads deep into the grassland to persuade the Qiang and Hu

, and at the same time send a general to send troops to Hexi to capture the entire territory of Liangzhou; you lead the main army south to attack Yizhou, setting up many flags along the way to make the enemy suspicious, so that the enemy does not know where the main force of our army intends to attack, and at the same time send a partial division.

Route from Wudu to Guanghan and Shu County, and finally join the main force on the Yizhou Plain.

During this period, the children of Liangzhou aristocratic families were promoted, the government was replenished, Yizhou scholars were promoted appropriately, and Yizhou foreign natives were actively recruited as officials. However, those who disobeyed were killed without mercy, and within a few years there was no opposition in Yizhou.

After that, we continued to implement the new law, using both kindness and power to make the people believe that the new law would not be shaken and that the new law could not be changed. Then the people would naturally act in accordance with the law and dare not go beyond it.

In this way, the Prime Minister can sit in Liangzhou and Yizhou, as well as hundreds of miles of fertile land in Guanzhong. He can laugh and watch the Kwantung princes kill each other, or he can wait for the army from all over the world to attack and compete with the heroes of Kwantung again.

.”

"Interesting, Wenyou's method seems to be to my liking, well, at least in the eyes of outsiders it should be to my liking. But if we can achieve all of them, then it won't be impossible to really go out and fight for the world, right?

.”

"No, if Mr. Xiangguo is really determined to serve the world, then the method of purification that my son-in-law just mentioned must not be tried. Although many scholars are half-hearted and arrogant and arrogant, which makes people unhappy, but if you want to gain the power of the world's scholars, you must not try it.

Indispensable. In the past, the Qin Dynasty had the Chu people Baili Xi, Wei Ran, Li Si, the Wei people Shang Yang, and Lu Buwei. The Wei people Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, and the Qi people Meng Ao had three generations of talents.

Achieve an unparalleled foundation. Lu Buwei, after the rebellion of Lao Ai, the First Emperor wanted to expel the people of the six countries. Li Si remonstrated and the First Emperor took back the order. This is the ambition of the wise king. Later, he conquered Bashu and merged together.

Shuo, tell the princes of Guandong with the story of the Five Hegemons, so that they can fight in chaos while I can rest and recuperate. In less than fifteen years, the world will surely return to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister can be King Wen of Zhou."

"It sounds a lot simpler."

"Although the words are simple, if you want to implement this strategy, you must have special people. Only in this way can you control the ministers with different thoughts."

"Really? Then please step back, I want to be alone for a while."

Looking at Dong Zhuo who was still hesitant, Li Ru couldn't help but sigh softly after turning around. He knew that his behavior would be known to Dong Zhuo, who was outstanding in martial arts. But this sigh was not Li Ru's expression of himself.

It's a way of attitude.

It's just that what Li Ru can do is limited to this.

The leader of the Xiliang Army, whether spiritual or substantive, will always be Dong Zhuo.

So what was Dong Zhuo thinking about at this time?

What Li Ru didn't know was that at this time, Dong Zhuo was neither considering the imperial hegemony nor how to deal with those court ministers who kept making small moves. What appeared in his mind at this time was another picture -

Under the divine power that human beings cannot match, familiar or slightly unfamiliar faces continued to turn into pitch-black charcoal. There was no wailing, only a few traces of nostalgia, and all their lives were swallowed up quietly.

As a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Dong Zhuo has not seen rookies farewell and die. It can even be said that on the battlefield in the northwest, he has seen too many tragedies and comedies in life, and he has also experienced too many hardships and helplessness.

——As a rich man who made friends all over Xiliang, Dong Zhuo stayed in Xiliang

Han Qiang tribes and other Hu tribes have extensive connections and prestige, and even his home has become a neutral place for resolving disputes in the minds of most foreign tribes. Among these passers-by, many people end up

The end result was that his head was spread around the world and buried by Dong Zhuo himself.

But that day...

Every time I dream back at midnight, every time I lower my head and ponder, every time I raise my glass and look out... It seems as if the hazy sky is hanging high above my head, as if the dazzling light that ignores all obstacles is shining in front of my eyes, as if the smell is mixed with heat and burnt

It just lingered in his nasal cavity, constantly intertwined and reincarnated.

It was obvious that the bodyguards who died fighting for him were countless, it was obvious that he had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of bones, and it was obvious...why the scene of that day kept reappearing in his mind.

Dong Zhuo asked himself again and again, was this a punishment from God or a reminder?

Well, even if he knew that the so-called heavenly punishment was caused by the enemy through a special ritual, and even if his own side had similar means, Dong Zhuo was also aware that Li Ru told him the cruel fact afterwards——

With the abilities they possess, it should be impossible to summon that powerful sacred beast that seems to only exist in legends passed down by people's mouths.

From the most important Battle of Changshe, which defeated the Yellow Turban Army, to the later Battle of Hulao, time and time again, the sacred beast that was originally considered to be illusory stepped onto the human world. Although it often only lasted for a fleeting moment, all that was left to ordinary people was

Deeply shocked - even though it seems normal on the surface, some things have gone deep into the bone marrow.

Just like Li Shushi to those Yellow Turban soldiers, just like Dong Zhuo who has been entangled in obsession to this day.

After arriving in Chang'an, he tasted all the gorgeous food, drank all the delicious wines, played with the beautiful palace maids in various ways, and stimulated his senses with various means, hoping to find some way to satisfy the lost souls.

.

The results are self-evident.

This result is really frustrating. Although the introduction of the new law makes Dong Zhuo still full of oppression in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still the legendary devil. No, this lawful evil devil is even more evil than chaotic evil.

horrible.

But for those subordinates who followed Dong Zhuo all year round in the east and west, and in the north and south, Dong Zhuo seemed to be decadent and comfortable now. He took off his dusty battle robes, put on gorgeous brocade clothes, and began to enjoy things that he had not been able to enjoy for most of his life.

Arriving at glory and wealth.

Of course, such Dong Zhuo is still worthy of their allegiance, because they do not object to what Dong Zhuo's performance reflects, and even welcome it to a certain extent - he has been fighting for most of his life, and heaps of dead people in various harsh environments.

I have been rolling in and out for so many years. My body is tired, and my heart has been tired for a long time. It’s time to take a rest.

Especially now that they are retreating to Xiliang, although they have not been able to fulfill their original ambitions, they have succeeded in gaining a piece of heaven and earth, a dream country that belongs to their own Xiliang people, and a free sky that belongs to their own Xiliang people.

They have been glorious - fighting against the heroes of the world with one corner of their strength, how heroic this is; they have been happy - playing with the emperor's concubines and children, how refreshing it is; they have been happy - those who once looked down on them, continue to

The court ministers who wanted to abandon them and sacrifice them trembled under the iron cavalry of Xiliang. They died and their clans were destroyed. How majestic and majestic this was!

Is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?
