As Dong Zhuo's confidant, Li Ru may not have a high status, but his prestige is very important.
He usually shows no emotion or anger, maintaining his own demeanor.
But today...he knocked on the table in front of him loudly, as if he was venting his anger.
And while Li Ru was talking drunkenly, Gongsun Zhu also understood what was wrong with Dong Zhuo in the capital.
To be honest, after listening to Li Ru's words, Gongsun Zhu felt very sorry for Dong Zhuo.
Before he became successful, this guy's reputation had always been very bad because he bribed eunuchs and powerful officials. Gongsun Zhu also heard about this.
Even his old boss, the famous Liangzhou general Zhang Huan whom he valued highly, began to dislike him very much.
Faced with his flattery, she directly used the most violent method to tear his face to pieces, and also directly asked him to stay away from her, and wiped out the last bit of love.
Without Zhang Huan's help, Dong Zhuo would be even more uncomfortable.
But this Dong Zhuo is a character after all. After all these years of enduring humiliation and humiliation, he finally waited for his own opportunity. He was able to enter the capital of the Han Dynasty with his troops and horses in a grand manner.
After entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo refused to treat himself badly.
The first thing is to replace Liu Hong, the Sikong of the imperial court, and become the third Duke of the imperial court!
Logically speaking, he should be considered successful at this time.
He even completed the dethronement on the first day of September last year, which gave him an extra layer of signs of a powerful minister.
But it has to be said that Dong Zhuo's method is still a bit too harsh, and a man from Liangzhou would like to have straight intestines in his stomach.
Not to mention their brains?
So when we do things one by one, it's called being stiff.
Later, in order to prevent the abolition of Li from becoming a talking point and opportunity for others, Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Yu, a shepherd and captain of Youzhou who was far away in Youzhou, as the Grand Sima to stabilize the heart of the royal family.
Later, Dong Zhuo himself was promoted from Sikong to Taiwei, and he also led the former general. He was given more honors, axes, axes, and tigers, which can be regarded as a first-class figure in the world.
But at that time, Dong Zhuo may still have some fantasies in his heart.
He fantasizes that he can become a minister who can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and leave his name in history.
But he probably couldn't even figure it out in his dreams. He made a mistake from the first step of entering the court.
Before he showed any attitude or thoughts, he changed the emperor first.
If there is a problem at the source, then no matter how much he does, it will be wrong in the end.
This...Dong Zhuo and everyone under him ignored it.
He came to power in mid-September. By the end of September, Dong Zhuo, together with Situ Huangwan and Sikong Yang Biao, went to the court to submit a letter with the 鈇锧.
The content of Shangshu is also very simple. It is nothing more than continuing to show goodwill to the world and the celebrities in the world.
It is requested that Your Majesty be able to overturn the verdicts of Chen Fan and Dou Wu who were labeled as traitors during the September coup in the first year of Jianning, as well as those party members who were imprisoned during the second time.
Restore their reputation and their family's rights.
Restore the titles of Chen Fan and others, and promote their descendants to officials.
This was Dong Zhuo's compromise with the nobles and officials in the court, letting them see that he was not a real mean man, and that he also wanted to make this big man better.
At the same time, he was also close to famous officials such as Zhou Ao, son of Zhou Shen, and Wu Qiong. He was also very courteous to He Yong, Zheng Tai and others under General He Jin, and even agreed to all their suggestions without hesitation.
Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji and other celebrities who had been living in seclusion due to the party's imprisonment were recruited to serve as officials in the court to build momentum for them, and even drove out buses to build momentum for them again.
Cai Yong, who was homeless, became Dong Zhuo's confidant and sent most of Dongguan to Cai Yong.
Later, celebrities such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Yi, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, and Zhang Miao were appointed. Almost all of them were governors of a state and governors of key counties.
Even Bao Xin, who wanted to assassinate him, and Yuan Shao, who contradicted him in public, he did not blame anymore, and then gave them the status of county guards.
I hope that the feud can be turned into friendship. After all, the Yuan family's Taifu Yuan Wei not only had a good relationship with him, but also contributed a lot to the abolition of the establishment.
But why is the final result like this?
But what really made the burly Imperial Master completely lose his mind was something he could no longer endure.
It's not that most of the people promoted by Dong Zhuo eventually raised troops to kill him. Li Ru was already prepared for such a thing.
They are not that afraid of those people.
But what makes Dong Zhongying unbearable is that it is obviously the same thing. Why is it that Dong Zhuo is treasonous if he does it, and endures the humiliation and burden when others do it?
Dong Zhuo raised the issue of abolishing the throne, and the Tutor of the Yuan family also agreed. How come Dong Zhuo was solely responsible for all the crimes in the end?
What made Li Ru feel broken was that Dong Zhuo's mentality collapsed because of these things, but on the other hand he continued to believe in those people.
He even no longer trusts himself, or no longer listens to his own persuasion.
Just the matter of moving the capital has already made Li Ru angry.
Moving the capital at this time, moving the capital when the war is about to begin, would be a devastating blow to one's own morale.
How stupid is this?
But why are there still people like this?
Sikong Xunshuang is known as a famous person in the world, the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and has unparalleled kindness and wisdom. What kind of person is he?
He knew it was wrong, but he still persuaded Dong Zhuo to move the capital. What was his intention?
And those people who are far more famous than Li Ru, what do they mean?
Nowadays, it seems that no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty except Li Ru opposes him anymore, but Dong Zhuo is increasingly unable to listen to Li Ru's objections.
When Li Ru discovered this, he seemed to finally understand something.
It’s not that Dong Zhuo compromised with those people for the sake of the world, the future of Liangzhou, and the future of Northwest China.
It's about the reputation of those people, the treatment of those celebrities, admiration and so on.
Dong Zhuo himself compromised early on. He really liked those people, those... famous families all over the world.
He doesn't have that ambition at all!
Dong Zhuo didn't trust Li Ru not because there was anything wrong with Li Ru's strategy, nor because Li Ru was not loyal enough to him.
It's because Li Ru's reputation is not enough and his status is not enough.
The Imperial Master who had never doubted him or cared about such things was now in the prosperity of the capital.
Step by step, I became exactly like those people.
