I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 328 Dong Zhuo admires Liu Deran

After hearing Lu Qiang's words, the wine jue in Dong Zhuo's hand fell to the ground with a "slap".

He stared at a pair of bull's eyes the size of copper bells, and stared at Lu Qiang who was standing silently below.

To be honest, Dong Zhuo is really frightened now.

Although the idea of ​​relocating the capital had been welling up in his mind as early as halfway through the battle with Yuan Shao, but he hadn't mentioned this matter to anyone for the time being, and he just thought about it secretly.

After all, the matter of moving the capital is really too big.

Luoyang City involves the interests of all parties, and the chain of interests cannot be easily changed by just a few words.

If it is not done well, it will be easy for Dong Zhuo to fall into a passive situation where everyone criticizes him.

So Dong Zhuo never dared to bring this matter up for public discussion.

He also wanted to wait for a good time to see when he could announce the move of the capital.

Who would have thought that before Dong Zhuo could announce it, Lu Qiang would clarify his thoughts first.

To be more precise, it should be Liu Jian who pointed out what was in his mind.

Lu Qiang was shocked by Dong Zhuo's performance.

It's not that Dong Zhuo's gaffe is so great, but because Dong Zhuo's gaffe just shows that Liu Jian guessed his mind correctly.

Since Liu Jian guessed correctly on this matter, doesn't that mean that Liu Jian can still guess thoroughly on other events.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiang's head hurts a little.

To be honest, subconsciously, he really hoped that Liu Jian's guess was not so accurate.

Dong Zhuo stared at Lu Qiang firmly, and said hoarsely:

"Who said the old man is going to move the capital?"

Lu Qiang bowed to Dong Zhuo: "It was Liu Deran who spoke the Xiangguo dialect."

"Liu Deran's nonsense, you actually take it seriously?"

Facing Dong Zhuo's irritable mood, Lu Qiang actually calmed down.

"When you go back to Xiangguo, the old slave is just a servant who conveys the message to Liu Deran on behalf of the emperor and Xiangguo, and then conveys what Liu Deran said to His Majesty and Xiangguo. As for the authenticity of Liu Deran's words, the old slave is not very clear. .”

Hearing what Lu Qiang said, Dong Zhuo lost his temper at that time.

It's really rough and reasonable, and there is really nothing wrong with what they said.

People just spread the word, so what's the matter if you teach them?

After taking a deep breath, Dong Zhuo waved Lu Qiang to sit down.

Lu Qiang was very obedient, Dong Zhuo asked him to sit down, and he sat down immediately.

Dong Zhuo sighed, "What else did Liu Deran say?"

Lu Qiang said: "Liu Deyan, if he is in the position of Xiangguo, he must think about moving the capital. If the Xiangguo does not move the capital, I am afraid that the future will be bleak. Luoyang is really not a place for the Xiangguo to stay for a long time."

Dong Zhuo reached out and rubbed his temples gently.

What kind of monster is this Liu Jian?
How could he guess everything so accurately?
Is there anything else in this world that he doesn't understand?
After sighing, Dong Zhuo told Lu Qiang: "Tell me what Liu Deran said to you, word for word.

"promise."

Lu Qiang was very obedient and told Dong Zhuo about Liu Jian's words and opinions in detail.

But of course he didn't fully recount the context of his conversation with Liu Jian, but selectively told Dong Zhuo the essence of their conversation.

Including Dong Zhuo's current position in the world, the resentment of the Kwantung gentry towards Dong Zhuo, and the irreconcilable conflicts between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung gentry... and all kinds of things in this war...

Finally, Lu Qiang talked about the status of the current emperor and queen mother in this relocation of the capital and future struggles.

Dong Zhuo kept squinting his eyes and listened carefully without interrupting a sentence. He didn't smile until Lu Qiang finished speaking the last word.

"What a Liu Deran, the old man really admires him! Alas, such a character, I don't know how much he can do in the future..."

"Not only the old man, but also the emperor and the queen mother. It seems that the two new policies he offered to the old man at the beginning... the old man must implement it?"

Lu Qiang said: "Liu Deran didn't tell the old slave whether Xiangguo would definitely promulgate the new policies he presented, he just asked the old slave to pass on the words to Xiangguo—as for whether to do it or not, it's all in Xiangguo's mind!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud.

"I think besides asking you to pass on a message to the old man, the emperor also has a message to pass on, right?"

"Yes, just as Xiangguo guessed, this old slave will go back to Luoyang to report to the emperor!"

Dong Zhuo waved to Lu Qiang and said, "Go, go to Luoyang and report to the emperor, and tell the emperor that I will return to Luoyang in a few days. I will naturally discuss some matters with His Majesty and His Highness in person."

"promise."

Lu Qiang immediately bid farewell to Dong Zhuo.

After Lu Qiang left, Dong Zhuo began to play with the wine bar on his table, his eyes flickered with envy from time to time.

"What a Liu Deran, he can always think what ordinary people can't think, and understand what others can't. I really lived for more than 20 years in vain. In the end, I can't even compare with a [-]-year-old boy."

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo sighed infinitely.

To be honest, although Liu Jian had already said what Dong Zhuo was thinking, Dong Zhuo had to go in the direction Liu Jian said right now.

First of all, relocation must be relocated.

After moving the capital, in order to maintain the stability of the court, there may be no way for the emperor to be in charge.

As for Liu Jian's two new policies—in fact, Dong Zhuo can implement them now or not, depending on what he wants to do.

If it is carried out, it will undoubtedly make one's birth name outstanding, and at the same time, he can take the opportunity to take some of the children of poor families in the world for his own use.

But the disadvantage is that from now on, even if I completely offend the nobles in the world, they will become incompatible with each other.

But if you think about it carefully, Dong Zhuo and the nobles in the world are already incompatible.

What does it matter if one more New Deal is done and one less New Deal is done?

Dong Zhuo is a wise man, he can see how much Liu Jian's two new policies have harmed the gentry group.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, but he has a problem, that is, he will take revenge.

The world's gentry hurt him too deeply.

That being the case, let us hurt each other!

……

Although all parties are still at war at the moment, it is actually a truce between each other.

After all, right now everyone has their own things to do.

After Yang Hong returned to Shouchun, Yuan Shu originally thought that Liu Jian would send Yuan Chong to him as agreed.

Originally, he was still bathing there.But unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was a piece of news that he couldn't accept.

Through Lu Zhi's recommendation, Yuan Chong, the youngest son of the Yuan family, formally joined Zheng Xuemen, not as a disciple, but as one of Zheng Yi's disciples.

Yuan Chong, the youngest son of the Yuan family in Runan, became a disciple of the Zheng family who mastered ancient and modern literature. This incident caused a huge storm in the entire scholarly community.

And there is no doubt that the Runan Yuan family is very happy about this matter.

Perhaps there is only one person who is not happy, and that is Yuan Shu.

……

Although he is currently engaged in a public opinion war with Yuan Shao that can influence the situation in the world, Yuan Shu is still calm and relaxed.

When Gai relaxes every day, he must relax, and no one can affect his leisurely mood.

The current Yuan Shu, every day when he finished his official duties, would gather a group of graceful dancers to present wonderful dances for Yuan Shu in the arena.

While drinking, Yuan Shu watched the dancers dance. Seeing the excitement, he ended up dancing with the dancers with their long sleeves, enjoying themselves.

Usually at the end of the banquet, Yuan Shu would return to the Nuan Pavilion with the two dancers in his arms to entertain the spring night.

Today's Yuan Shu is still like this.

However, before Yuan Shu ordered Qi Wuniang to enter the warm pavilion with him today, scouts hurried into the meeting hall.

"Emissary! The northern detective sent a letter, and there is news about Yuan Chong, please make a decision!"

Yuan Shu was watching the dance and saw the energy, and when he heard the report from the scouts, he was overjoyed.

He laughed loudly, and said happily: "It must be Liu Deran who wants to send my nephew back. This matter is very good, very good! The surname Liu really has a heart, it seems that Yuan has finally won Liu Deran once, haha, Very good, very good!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu stretched out his hand: "Come on, present the report from the northern spies to Yuan!"

Now Yuan Shu is very happy, he has already started to fantasize about the wonderful scene where he kidnaps his nephew to make the Yuan family in Runan.
