The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 17 This is the rhythm that makes me take the blame!
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo was sitting on his knees on a soft mat. He was tall and strong, with a fierce appearance, and the fierce light in his big copper-bell eyes made people shudder and dare not look at him.

"How is the situation in Beijing these days?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Although it's calm on the surface, it's turbulent privately." Li Ru's eyes looked a little tired.

There were fewer civilian officials in Dong Zhuo's army and even fewer people he trusted. Only Li Ru took charge of the overall situation.

Dong Zhuo sighed after hearing this and said: "Yuan Wei and others are working hard to make me feel tired and unable to sleep at night. I came to report to the horse. Yuan Shao and others are recruiting troops and have the intention of forming an alliance."

Dong Zhuo is old after all.

"Indeed, my subordinates also heard that Yuan Wei also sent people to serve as concierges at the Xiaoqi Xiaowei Mansion." Li Ru said disdainfully, stroking his beard.

Yuan Wei really thought that his actions were very covert, but he didn't know that his every move was under his surveillance.

"Oh, what is Qin Yilu doing now?" Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"He personally went to Pingjinguan and invited Jia Wenhe to be the chief clerk in the army. He left all the training of the army to Zhang Liao. If nothing happens, he will soon lead the army to suppress the bandits. He has asked Luoyang Order to provide News about bandits around here," Li Ru said quickly.

Dong Zhuo slapped him down and sneered: "Yuan Wei is so incompetent that he can even win over a thousand light cavalry."

"Prime Minister, what they are interested in is not the Thousand Qingqi, but the Xiaoqi Colonel." Li Rutui reminded.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "In that case, what suggestions do you have?"

A strong general who could withstand Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo would not be able to let him fall into the hands of the Guandong family.

"Qin Yilu will not betray the Prime Minister now, but no one knows what will happen in the future. However, his subordinates believe that the Xiaoqi Battalion has just been formed and it is not appropriate to go out. As for the bandits in the capital, it is better to leave the bandits in the capital to Guo Si and other generals to exterminate them. It is better to mobilize the Xiaoqi Battalion to garrison Yong'an Palace." Li Ru suddenly said.

The final reason why it is not appropriate to send troops is that he does not want to give Yuan Wei the opportunity to contact Qin Shou. In Luoyang City, everything is under Dong Zhuo's control, but outside the city, it may not be possible.

"Garrisoned in Yong'an Palace?" Dong Zhuo showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

There are only two people in Yong'an Palace at this moment, the deposed emperor Liu Bian and his concubine Tang.

Dong Zhuo was hesitating about how to deal with Liu Bian, whether to kill him or not.

"Prime Minister, the deposed emperor must die. The governors and governors of Guandong are sharpening their knives. Once they take action, their excuse will definitely be to depose the emperor. Only by killing the deposed emperor will they lose their reputation of righteousness and eradicate the root cause!" Li Ru reminded.

Dong Zhuo nodded.

"You mean to let Qin Yilu go to Yong'an Palace, and Qin Yilu will take action at the critical moment?" Dong Zhuo immediately understood what Li Ru meant.

"That's it. Only in this way can Qin Yilu become ours." Li Ru said seriously.

How could a person who poisoned the Han Dynasty's deposed emperor be recognized by the party members? Although the deposed emperor Liu Bian was emperor for a short time, he had been the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all.

Anyone who poisons the Emperor of Han will not be accepted. They can only rely on Dong Zhuo and become Dong Zhuo's minion.

Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly. He had already felt the changes in the court. These people did not dare to oppose him openly, but they never cooperated with him in private. This kind of confrontation made Dong Zhuo very angry, but he had no way to do anything about it.

"Humph, these party members are all incompetent people. If they have the ability, they will fight with a certain person with real swords and real guns. Obviously, they actually use this method to deal with a certain person. It is really contemptible." Dong Zhuo thought of the faces of Yuan Wei and others. , suddenly started to get angry again.

"Killing will happen sooner or later, and that's the time to eliminate them." Li Ru advised.

"Prime Minister, Qin Shou, the commander of the Cavalry School, is outside the house asking for an audience."

At this time, there was a report from the guards under the dripping eaves.

"Look, I just mentioned him, and he's here now." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Quick, let him in."

Qin Shou is still wearing armor. He has a long body and a handsome face. Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly.

"General Qin Shou pays homage to the prime minister." Qin Shou was not surprised when he saw that Li Ru was here.

"Yi Lu doesn't need to be polite."

Dong Zhuo nodded with great satisfaction.

The Qin Yilu and Lu Bu in front of them are different. They are both powerful generals, but they give people different feelings. Lu Bu is like a volcano, with raging momentum and great pressure.

Qin Shou is like a gentle breeze, giving people the feeling of a humble gentleman, very comfortable.

"I've met Mr. Li."

Qin Yilu saluted Li Ru again.

"Colonel Qin."

Li Ru also returned the gift.

"Yi Lu! I and Li Ru were talking about you just now! Now that you are here, I just have an errand for you, and I can only rest assured if I leave it to you." Dong Zhuo greeted Qin Yilu with a smile.

"Please give me your instructions, Prime Minister." Qin Yilu's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly felt something bad.

He came to see Dong Zhuo because he wanted to lead his troops out of the city and focus on training the army so that he could escape from the whirlpool in front of him.

But now it seems that things may not be that simple.

"Please give me your orders, Prime Minister." Qin Yilu knew that he could not refuse.

"Go and garrison Yong'an Palace!" Dong Zhuo ordered.

"Yong'an Palace?" Qin Shou really didn't know where Yong'an Palace was, but it must be in the palace city. Where could he be stationed?
"Yong'an Palace is located on the east side of the North Palace. It was the location of the East Palace in all dynasties of the Han Dynasty. It is now where King Hongnong lives." Li Ru explained.

"Deposed Emperor!" Qin Shou's expression changed after hearing this.

If it is really the East Palace, it doesn't matter. The key is that the dead emperor who lives in it will be poisoned and killed soon. At that time, as the guard of Yong'an Palace, how can Qin Shou have a good end?

He became a scapegoat for Dong Zhuo and was despised by everyone in the world.

"It is the residence of King Hongnong. There are always dishonest people these days. If you go to Yong'an Palace, you should be able to suppress this matter." Li Ru explained.

"Yi Lu. Can you take on this task?" Dong Zhuo asked with wide eyes.

"The prime minister has an order, and the general will obey it naturally." Qin Shou replied without thinking.

At this time, you must not show a hint of opposition, otherwise it will definitely arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion.

"it is good."

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed after hearing this and said quickly: "After a while, I think it will be fine if I come to your side."

Qin Shou also nodded. He knew that it was definitely okay. Liu Bian had even saved his life, and he, the guard of Yong'an Palace, would not have any power.

"Yes, the general understands." Qin Shou responded quickly.

"By the way, is there something wrong with your old man?" Dong Zhuo asked at this time.

"No, no, it's okay."

Qin Shou smiled bitterly.
