"Prime Minister, what should we do with King Hongnong?"
As a counselor, Li Ru thinks more and sees further.
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.
Although King Hongnong has been deposed, if he is allowed to survive, he may be taken advantage of by those who are interested.
It must be eliminated early to avoid future troubles.
As a close minister of Dong Zhuo, Wu Zhao listened clearly.
Next, he must grasp the fate of Liu Bian's mother and son.
"What do you think?"
Dong Zhuo paused. He seemed a little complacent, thinking that everything would be fine if Liu Bian was deposed.
The goal of deposing the emperor and establishing his power has been achieved, but how to deal with the aftermath has become a problem.
"I intend to kill King Hongnong and Queen Mother He in the Jiade Palace."
A cold light flashed in Li Ru's eyes. Now that he has done it, he will do it to the end.
"The Empress Dowager teaches motherless rituals and governs in chaos. She deserves to be killed. Should King Hongnong be killed too?"
"To cut the grass, we need to remove the roots. If someone uses the name of the deposed emperor to cause trouble, it may cause disaster."
"Today I will behead Ding Guan, the minister, and depose the emperor as King Hongnong. If I kill him, I may cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers and nobles. We will discuss it later."
Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and did not adopt Li Ru's suggestion.
He used scriptures to depose the emperor to enhance his prestige.
At present, he has offended too many people. The top priority is not to kill Liu Bian, but to win over the officials and use them to his advantage.
"By the way, Ziyu, as General Yu Lin, you must help the prime minister keep an eye on the imperial palace. In particular, the Empress Dowager He and the deposed emperor must not let any courtiers come into contact."
Dong Zhuo supported Lu Bu and Wu Zhao and had his own ideas.
At the same time, he bribed the two of them and asked Wu Zhao to help him monitor the palace.
Lu Bu's military bravery is more powerful than Wu Zhao, and he can be used as a vanguard to fight everywhere in the future.
"promise!"
Wu Zhao responded.
Since Dong Zhuo said this, wouldn't there be more reasons for him to go to the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace?
The down-and-out Queen Mother He, hehe.
"Ziyu, you and Fengxian are heroes of the world and sworn brothers. You must live your life and serve your true nature."
Dong Zhuo looked at Wu Zhao. He was young and acted calmly and calmly, which was very reassuring.
Now that he saw Wu Zhao, he thought of his dead son.
It would be a beautiful thing if he could accept Wu Zhao as his adopted son.
But Wu Zhao had an indifferent temperament and it was really hard for him to speak.
It would be better to discuss it with Lu Bu another day and let Lu Bu convey the message on his behalf.
"Thanks to the high regard of the Prime Minister, I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities."
Wu Zhao still looked unfazed.
This scene made Li Li's teeth itch with hatred.
If he could be so highly regarded by Dong Zhuo, he would probably have knelt down to thank him long ago.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jue noticed something strange about his nephew.
"Is such that."
Li Li approached Li Jue and told him about the dispute over the bow a few days ago.
"snort."
After hearing this, Li Jue was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Zhao.
They were colleagues after all, but they were so disrespectful to an unknown person.
Okay, good for your military edict.
Don't fall into his hands, otherwise, you will be left with nothing to eat.
Wu Zhao felt a chill on the back of his head as he walked on the road.
No need to guess, you know that it was Li Li who complained to Li Jue.
So what, Li Jue is a general of the Liangzhou faction.
Isn't he?
He and Lu Bu were jointly in charge of the Bingzhou Army. Who was inferior to the other?
Night falls.
The originally bustling Yongle Palace was surprisingly quiet at this time.
Even palace maids and eunuchs must stand on tiptoe and dare not make any sound when passing by.
Queen Mother He's hair was messy and she had no intention of taking care of it.
Sitting on the ground, eyes dull.
The brother he relied on the most died, and Liu Bian was removed from the throne.
At this time, she felt extremely melancholy.
How should we go in the future?
Dong Zhuo is extremely ruthless, will he kill her and Liu Bian together?
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and she looked up and saw Dong Zhuo's subordinate again.
He seems to be the one who pulled Liu Bian down from the throne today.
"The traitor Dong Zhuo ordered you to come here? It's not enough to depose my prince, but you also want to harm him?"
Queen Mother He sounded a little panicked.
Wu Zhao didn't say anything and just stood there without moving.
Even if he had never seen the Empress Dowager He when she gained power, he could still guess how proud the Empress Dowager He was at that time.
But it's really too stupid, it's just a skin.
Otherwise, he would not have killed his biological brother.
"Why don't you say anything? Why!"
When Empress Dowager He saw that Wu Chao was silent, she became more and more frightened.
"If I were you, I would go crazy to the end and take King Hongnong with me."
Wu Zhao put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.
"Crazy?"
Queen Mother He didn't understand the meaning and couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
"You and King Hongnong will die if you live. If you go crazy, there may be a chance of survival."
Wu Zhao really didn't understand how the Queen Mother He survived from this harem.
Could it be that it was her beauty and good life that attracted the Spirit Emperor's exclusive favor?
"But you...are not from Thief Dong?"
Queen Mother He suddenly realized and understood the profound meaning.
But today she saw Wu Zhao in front of Dong Zhuo, and he seemed to be a confidant.
And why did he come to help her?
"I am a Han official, so I have no choice but to submit to Dong Zhuo's command."
Wu Zhao believed that although Queen Mother He was stupid, she also knew her fate.
The showdown now allows both parties to better reach a consensus.
"It turned out to be a loyal minister..."
Queen Mother He murmured.
Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He thought Yuan Shao had escaped, Wu Fu failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and Ding Guan was beheaded.
No one from the Han Dynasty ministers could help them.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao was in Dong Zhuo but his heart was in Han.
It was Liu Bian's good fortune and the Han Dynasty's good fortune to have such loyal ministers.
"Whether you survive or not depends entirely on you."
After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he turned and left.
Everything that can be taught has been taught, it just depends on how Queen Mother He performs it.
If the performance fails, you will die early.
After the performance is completed, Dong Zhuo will take into account those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and will not attack crazy people.
Half a month passed.
Empress Dowager He had been silent all this time, and Wu Zhao was very puzzled.
When he wanted to check again, the palace maid ran out from Yongle Palace.
"What happened?"
Wu Zhao stopped the panicked palace maid and asked.
"He Hou is crazy and bites everyone he sees... The slaves are afraid of hurting He Hou and dare not stop him."
The palace maid kept looking at the gate of Yongle Palace.
"Go and notify the Prime Minister to come."
Wu Zhao said to Yu Linwei beside him.
It seemed that his previous words had taken effect, and Queen Mother He was already pretending to be crazy.
However, pretending to be crazy is not very safe, and he still has to make the second preparation.
"What happened!"
Dong Zhuo swung his fat body and strode to the gate of Yongle Palace.
He was also shocked when he heard that Queen Mother He was crazy.
But only after seeing these in person can you tell whether they are true or false.
"Evil thieves, you evil thieves, how dare you depose my emperor, evil thieves..."
The Queen Mother He's voice rang out from the gate of Yongle Palace. All she could see was that the Queen Mother He was disheveled, crazy, and cursed constantly.
