The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 377
Lu Bu, who was training in the Xiyuan school camp, heard that the emperor had summoned him, so he put aside his military affairs and went to the palace to face the saint.

In the Mingguang Hall, a new batch of servants had been replaced. The emperor sat on the dais in the center of the hall, with his hands against his head, and he seemed a little tired.

After Lu Bu reported, he stepped across the threshold of the palace, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed to the Son of Heaven with cupped fists: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Lu Bu, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Lu Qing, you're here." Liu Hong sat up straight, with a lazy tone, and raised his hand to avoid Lu Bu's etiquette.

"I don't know what your Majesty called the ministers here?" Lu Bu asked respectfully.

Liu Hong picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the table that the servants had put away, and the attendants understood, took the bamboo slips respectfully, stepped down from the hall, and handed them to Lu Bu below.

"Lu Qing, take a look at this first."

Lu Bu opened the bamboo slips as ordered, and read them slowly.

"The Son of Heaven is above me, and my minister Dong Zhuo said:

Thanks to His Majesty's great love, envoys have been guarding Guanzhong for several years.The day before yesterday, the imperial court enlisted ministers to take the post of Minister of the Shaofu, and he was ranked among the top nine ministers. This is a clear photo of His Majesty's sage!I am grateful, even if I die, it is difficult to repay the grace of God.However, the ministers have been in charge of the army for many years, the size of the soldiers, they have known each other for a long time, they are in love with the kindness of the ministers and livestock, and they are happy to serve the country once they die, begging for the state of the generals, and serving the frontier..."

After reading it, Lu Bu's eyes were solemn, and then he rolled up the bamboo slips and presented them to the emperor.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of his position as the young minister to transfer Dong Zhuo out of Guanzhong, but what Lu Bu didn't expect was that Dong Zhuo was really courageous enough to defy the emperor's order even if he faced it.

Within the territory of the Han Dynasty, everyone in the world knows that the emperor issued an imperial decree. No matter what the reason is for the person who obeys the decree, as long as he is not dead, he will be honored by the emperor's order. Otherwise, he will be regarded as a rebellious thief.

For example, before, the emperor summoned Lu Bu to Beijing twice.

Even if Lu Bu was unwilling, he could only come here by order.

Dong Zhuo dared to think and act, despite the sincerity and fear written in the briefing, but who knows what thoughts are hidden in his heart.

Lu Bu had met Dong Zhuo several times before, and despite his rough appearance, he looked like a reckless man, but he actually had a very deep city and heart.

If Dong Zhuo is not transferred from Guanzhong, then three years later, once the emperor dies, [-]% of the history will repeat itself according to the history of the previous life.

At that time, it will be another disaster.

Lu Bu deduced in his mind, at this time, the emperor said: "Lu Qing, what do you think of General Guangwu's memorial?"

What do I say?
Does it mean that Dong Zhuo will march eastward after three years, or is it that Your Majesty is approaching your deadline?
Anyway, it's not reliable.

Lu Bu looked troubled, and he cupped his hands and replied, "I don't know where to start with my words."

"I don't know how to say it, so listen to me."

Liu Hong waved his hand, and his tone revealed the unique sternness of an emperor: "I asked him to come to Luoyang to serve as the young minister, which is regarded as a compliment. The position of Jiuqing, looking at the court, many people flock to it."

"But what about Dong Zhuo? Did he treat me like an ignorant child, or did he think that with these simple words, he could fool him?"

"What a 'Soldiers are as big as they are, and they will get along for a long time', what a 'state of begging generals, serve the frontier'!"

"What does Dong Zhuo want to do! Rebellion!"

The more he went on, the more Lu Bu could clearly feel the anger that was about to burst out in the emperor's chest.

Liu Hong scolded sharply, and a blush appeared on his sickly face.

Cough cough cough cough cough ~
The anger was too heavy, causing him to cough violently again.

The waiter handed over the silk handkerchief. After Liu Hong finished coughing, he looked down, kneaded it into a ball, and left it on the ground.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body. If you are bothered by this matter, you can send someone to investigate and hand it over to the Tingwei Mansion for interrogation." Lu Bu noticed that when the emperor looked down at the silk handkerchief, he lost his mind for a moment.

"Lu Qing, if things are as simple as you think, why would I be so angry." Liu Hong calmed down, his tone became much calmer, and he tried his best not to get angry.

Dong Zhuo's refusal to come to Luoyang to take office is tantamount to protesting against Royal Tianwei.

This is something that no emperor can tolerate in all dynasties.

According to Liu Hong's previous character, Dong Zhuo would have been escorted back to Beijing long ago, and sent to prison to await trial.

However, the current situation in the world makes Liu Hong feel worried. Less than two years after the moth thief was pacified, a new war broke out in Liaodong.

If he rashly sends someone to capture Dong Zhuo, it is very likely that he will be turned against him. He dared to write anything in the brief, and it is not impossible for a dog to jump over the wall in a hurry.If Dong Zhuo had made up his mind and let the Xiliang army jointly attack Sili Henan, then the city of Luoyang would be suspended.

"To call Lu Qing here today is because I want to entrust Qing's family with a heavy responsibility." After thinking about it, Liu Hong thought that among the people he trusted, perhaps only Lu Bu could handle this matter.

The Son of Heaven had something to ask, Lu Bu naturally bowed and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

Lu Bu's voice fell, and the hall fell into a brief silence.

The emperor sat on the throne, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the desk, as if suppressing his anger.After a long time, he took a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "You go to Chang'an on my behalf, and say that I disagree with his resignation, and let Dong Zhuo immediately go to Luoyang to take up the post."

Lu Bu had no choice but to obey the emperor's order, but he still had doubts, so he bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, what if General Guangwu still refuses to come?"

Since Dong Zhuo dared to reject the emperor's appointment edict, even if he went by himself, Dong Zhuo might not be obedient and come to Luoyang to take up the post.

Lu Bu was very clear about this.

Otherwise, when he went to Chang'an Huangfusong earlier, he would have already taken the military power into his own hands.

Hearing Lu Bu's inquiry, the emperor tapped his fingers on the table, opened his dark eyes, and hooked his fingers.

The eunuch beside him understood, took the drafted edict, stepped down and handed it to Lu Bu.

The imperial decree was opened, and there was not much content inside, except that Dong Zhuo was angrily reprimanded for not obeying the holy order. At the end, the five handwritings that contained killing intentions were also particularly eye-catching.

At the end of the content, the jade seal is stamped.

After reading it, Lu Bu put away the edict and put it in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request." After hesitating for a while, Lu Bu decided to make a request.

"Oh? What's the matter with Aiqing, let me tell you." Since Lu Bu took office, he has never asked for anything. Today's opening made Liu Hong curious.

"Your Majesty has deeply favored me, and I have entrusted you with important duties. I should do my best to repay Your Majesty."

Lu Bu glanced at the expression of the Son of Heaven, paused, and continued, "However, the minister's wife and daughter came to Luoyang for the first time, and the minister is busy with school affairs and has not fulfilled his duties as a wife and father for a day, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a day off. , stay at home with his wife and daughter, and make a trip later.”

Liu Hong thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be just this. He laughed: "I never thought that the Qing family would be such a family. One day is not enough. I will allow you to take three days off."

Dong Zhuo's matter was not particularly urgent to Liu Hong, even if it was delayed for a few days, it was not unimportant.
