"Our family is so angry!"
"Mad!"
"Li Ru, do you think all scholars in the world are fools?"
"Why did you just listen to Yuan Shu's words? The Heavenly Book in our hands is the real one!" Dong Zhuo deeply regretted not choosing the first one. Now the emperor's edict has been delivered to various states and counties, plus Wang Yun's letter Going to various aristocratic families, this matter would have been possible at least in various states and counties. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would come out halfway and insist that the book in his hand was the real fairy book, and what kind of cool brain he could make by relying on the fairy book. Pill, but the one in my hand is fake, a fake fairy book to deceive the world’s scholars!
Under the special propaganda of some aristocratic families, almost everyone believed that the fairy book in Yuan Shu's hand was real. They didn't believe in the fairy book in their own hands. Dong Zhuo almost exploded when he got the news. I have the real book in my hand. ah!
Until now, only a few winter melons and cracked dates have come, and they are useless people with little knowledge. Dong Zhuo is so angry!
"Xiang Guo, please calm down. Yuan Shu deceived the world for a while, but he cannot deceive the world for a lifetime. In the end, everyone in the world will know that what Yuan Shu has in his hands is a fake fairy book!" Li Ru immediately continued to comfort Dong Zhuo.
He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would do this. He had randomly found an alchemy book in Luoyang and pasted it on the cover of a fairy book, intending to deceive a destined person. Who knew that Yuan Shu had a talent for alchemy? He came up with the so-called elixir and got himself into a trap.
"Could it be that the real alchemy technique was recorded in a book I picked up at that time?"
In addition to using time to prove that Yuan Shu's fairy book is fake, Li Ru actually has another way, which is to study the content of the heavenly book. However, the content of the heavenly book is too obscure, and even Cai Yong cannot understand it. Yes, some things can be understood individually, but together they are astronomy. No one knows their meaning, and the research progress is slow.
"Hey, our family is just so angry." Dong Zhuo sighed. He finally wanted to do something good, but no one believed him.
"By the way, Li Ru, there are several leaders of the Qiang tribe who have a good relationship with our family. They wrote to our family and wanted to join us and ask our family to let them enter the customs." Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered what happened two days ago.
Li Ru's face changed drastically when he heard this.
"The Prime Minister must never agree to them. The ambitions of the Qiang people will be different if they are not of my race. The barbarians have been coveting our Central Plains for a long time. Letting them in will only harm our Han people. If the Prime Minister wants to win over the world, the barbarians must not touch them. Yes!" Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo extremely seriously.
"Is Li Ru so serious?" Dong Zhuo was also frightened by Li Ru's serious expression. He thought that those barbarians were just young people and had nothing to fear. If they joined, his strength could be increased.
"Yes!" Li Ru replied solemnly. The Han people could keep suppressing the barbarians. In addition to their outstanding intelligence, they also had equipment to crush them. The barbarians didn't know about planting or metallurgy, so they could only rely on capturing Han people. Their slaves helped with planting and metallurgy. It can be said that the Han people had a blood feud with the barbarians.
If these barbarians are allowed to enter the country, Dong Zhuo, who was already notorious, will never have a chance to turn around and will completely lose trust among the people.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, just don't let them in." Seeing how serious Li Ru was, Dong Zhuo agreed to Li Ru's suggestion and wouldn't let them in.
"Prime Minister, if possible, it would be best to issue an edict to appoint Ma Teng and Han Sui as Generals of Suppressing the West and Generals of Conquering the West, so that Ma Teng and Han Sui can encircle and suppress the barbarians around Liangzhou to suppress the power of the Han people!" Li Ru continued to offer advice to Dong Zhuo. road.
"Li Ru, if you don't let us let them in, we will just listen to you. Now we have to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Isn't that bad?" Dong Zhuo replied with some embarrassment. Our family is a family of loyal people. , this is too unkind.
"Back to the Prime Minister, this matter is for the eyes of the world. You must do it even if you don't do it!"
"The purpose is to let the world see the prime minister's attitude towards the barbarians. Youzhou Gongsun Zan protects Youzhou from the Huns and is supported by a large number of Youzhou civilians. Even if Liu Yu is ignored, no one will speak out for Liu Yu."
"Even recently, Lu Bu recaptured Yanmen Pass and captured tens of thousands of Xianbei people. His reputation in Bingzhou instantly surpassed that of Shangdang Governor Zhang Yang. Therefore, Xiangguo, resisting the barbarians is the best way to gain popularity among the people. This Qiang people must be killed if they don't want to! "Li Ru explained, encouraging Dong Zhuo to attack the Qiang people. This was the only quickest way he could think of to restore some trust to Dong Zhuo among the people.
As long as Dong Zhuo's trust among the people is restored, the world will be conquered!
"Okay, our family listens to you, and we will go to the emperor to issue an edict!" At this moment, Dong Zhuo completely forgot about friendship and loyalty. Compared with the world, these two things are insignificant.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo could listen, Li Ru also relaxed, which shows that Dong Zhuo really has his heart set on the world.
After coming out of the Prime Minister's place, Li Ru came to the palace of Cai Yong, the servant.
"Master Li." The servant in Cai Yong's mansion greeted him respectfully when he saw it was Li Ru.
"Well, where is Bojie?" Li Ru asked the boy.
"Back to Mr. Li, my master is practicing calligraphy in the study. I will take you there." The boy replied truthfully. Li Ru was a celebrity around Dong Zhuo and he did not dare to hide anything.
"No need, you go down, I'll go find Uncle myself." Li Ru waved his hand and asked the young man to retreat.
If you ask who has the largest collection of books in the entire city of Chang'an, it must be Cai Yong. Cai Yong studied under the tutor Hu Guang and was very knowledgeable. He participated in the continuation of "Dongguan Hanji" and the engraving of the Xiping Stone Scripture. Later, he was exiled to Shuofang for his crimes. After many twists and turns, he took refuge for twelve years. It was not until Dong Zhuo came to power that he was forced to serve as a sacrificial wine, and he dared to regain his true identity.
This time when the capital was moved, before Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang, Li Ru sent people to move all Cai Yong out. The alchemy technique used to deceive people was found from Cai Yong.
During this period, Li Ru went to Cai Yong a lot in order to expand the library, so he was quite familiar with it.
"Bo Zhe, are you practicing calligraphy again?" Li Ru opened the door directly and saw Cai Yong practicing calligraphy.
When Cai Yong heard that someone was coming, he immediately stopped writing and looked back. It was Li Ru who smiled and said, "Haha, it's Mr. Li."
"Bo Zhe, your calligraphy has regressed, are you worried?" Li Ru picked up the calligraphy that Cai Yong had just written and found that it was not as good as what he had written before. The form and meaning were not as good as before.
"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from you, Mr. Li!" Cai Yong continued to laugh, not at all embarrassed because Li Ru saw through his thoughts.
"I am concerned about my daughter who is far away in my hometown. This move to the capital is too hasty. My daughter is still in my hometown. I am worried that she will encounter some bad people or accidents." Cai Yong sighed.
After his escape, he sent his daughter Cai Yan back to his hometown of Chenliu, far away from the temple. Who knew that Dong Zhuo suddenly moved the capital and he didn't have time to take Cai Yan over with her.
"Hahaha, what did I think? This matter is easy to handle. Chen Liuzhou is Cao Cao's territory. Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory. Without the relationship of Xiangguo, you can be regarded as half of Cao Cao's teacher. Write a letter to Cao Cao , just ask him to take more care of him, this is not a difficult problem for Cao Cao." This kind of trivial matter couldn't be easier for Li Ru, and he quickly came up with countermeasures.
When Cai Yong heard what Li Ru said, when he returned to Luoyang, Cao Cao was still working under Dong Zhuo, so he often asked him for relevant knowledge. The relationship between the two was both teacher and friend, and his daughter also met Cao Cao. several times.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me. I will write a letter to Cao Cao right now." Cai Yong thanked Li Ru. If Li Ru hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that Yanzhou was Cao Cao's territory. He was really a fan of the authorities.
"Bojie, you don't have to be polite. I'm here today to tell you that the Prime Minister is preparing to launch troops against the Qiang people and restore some prestige among the people. At that time, a large number of people will come to seek refuge with the Prime Minister or come to study. At that time, I ask Bojie to continue to serve as a priest. The wine position." Li Ru told Cai Yong the purpose of his visit this time and asked Cai Yong to prepare in advance.
"Although Yong is not talented, he still knows the great righteousness. Please rest assured, Prime Minister and Mr. Li."
