Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 628 Everyone gets what they need
On this day, Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu to kill Sikong Zhang Wen on the spot, which made some people in high positions unable to sit still any longer, because they found that no matter how high their status or how noble their identities were, they were still like pigs and dogs in front of Dong Zhuo and were at the mercy of others. How could they tolerate this?

He worked hard to climb to a high position, but in the end he was treated the same as ordinary people. He could be killed at will, and his death was worthless. They could not tolerate this, so they conspired to kill Dong Zhuo.

In fact, they had this idea for a long time, but Dong Zhuo himself was quite brave and strong. He always carried a sword and soft armor with him, and he had hundreds of personal guards around him. Even if he encountered thousands of elite soldiers, he would not be defeated in a short time.

Of course, the most important one is Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are the perfect combination of power and authority, and with Li Ru's wisdom, it is impossible to stop them.

After Si Tu Wang Yun returned, he sat in his newly purchased mansion with seven entrances and seven exits for half a day, sighing and looking worried.

People only know that he holds a high position and has a high salary, but they don't know that he devotes a lot of effort to his country and his people.

Just as Wang Yun was feeling worried, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

It is said that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty. If he finds a beauty, he will send her to sow discord between the father and son.
Even real father and son can fall out with each other, let alone fake ones.

Besides, there was a precedent of an adopted son betraying his adoptive father, so he didn't believe that Dong Zhuo would not be afraid.

As long as Dong Zhuo is afraid, the matter will be settled.

But after searching the whole house, Wang Yun couldn't find a suitable candidate, which made him a little worried.

It’s not that the hundreds of maids and singers in the house are not pretty. If there are really some who are not pretty, the butler will be beaten to death or slapped in the face a few times because they are an eyesore to the master.

But being good-looking is not enough; if the beauty is not breathtaking, it is of no use.

Dong Zhuo slept with all the concubines in the harem. Beauties were a common sight for him. He had seen and tasted them all before. Ordinary beauties would never catch his eye.

Although Lu Bu was full of vigor and vitality and became somewhat addicted to wine and women after following Dong Zhuo, he became obsessed with force after escaping twice, and ordinary beauties could not shake his mind.

However, he clearly remembered that there was a beautiful woman in the mansion. Could it be that he remembered it wrongly, or did she die on the way of migration?

Just because the beauty trap doesn't work doesn't mean other things won't work. These people in high positions are all shrewd people, and each one is more skilled than the other when it comes to scheming.

If Dong Zhuo had not been a reckless man who preferred to use a knife rather than his brain, and had not had the sinister and vicious Li Ru by his side, he would have been taken advantage of by them long ago. Do you really think that being a powerful official is so easy?

But when a wild boar broke into the group of foxes, and there was a tiger guarding it, there was really no good way to deal with it, so the only way they could benefit from it was to let the tiger and the wild boar conflict.

Fortunately, there was already a lot of conflict between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, so there was no room for error. Therefore, undercurrents against the two began to surge.

Dong Zhuo was now indulging in pleasure all day long and acting more and more recklessly. In his opinion, no matter the emperor or the civil and military officials, they were all playthings in his hands. He could kill them or reward them as he pleased. He totally ignored the fact that his power was limited to the Guanzhong area. Even his hometown Liangzhou could not be taken care of. But it still could not stop him from indulging in the dream of a life of decadence and debauchery.

Li Ru remained calm throughout the process, and was therefore aware of the undercurrents and hidden dangers immediately. However, there were simply too many enemies; it could be said that all the civil and military officials in the court were enemies.

In this situation, even if he didn't have any better solution, he couldn't kill all the court officials, otherwise the little emperor would become a decoration.

Since it was impossible to determine who the mastermind was, the only thing to do was to stabilize the internal situation first. So Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo should appease Lu Bu from time to time and not really treat him as a tool, at least not on the surface.

Even a knife needs constant maintenance to remain sharper, not to mention that Lu Bu's existence is irreplaceable to this day.

Li Ru’s idea is good. If he really does this, it will be enough to give those people a headache. The problem is that both of them have changed.

Dong Zhuo's arrogance was deep-rooted, and he was completely immersed in false power. In his opinion, he was already above the emperor, and as his adopted son, Lu Bu was already marrying up, so naturally he would not humble himself to show concern for him. In fact, he really regarded Lu Bu as a tool, and this was what Li Ru was most worried about. Therefore, Lu Bu was no longer the Lu Bu he used to be.

Lu Bu was arrogant by nature. After going through so many things, he began to regret having easily worshipped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father.

He did not regret killing Ding Yuan, but felt that Dong Zhuo's current position was entirely due to his military strength. With his support, even Ding Yuan could have risen to power. In other words, he felt that he had paid too much and received too little. This gap in self-awareness caused the conflict between the two sides to grow. Even with Li Ru's constant mediation, the situation between the father and son of different surnames continued to get worse.

Wang Yun saw that the time was ripe and often invited Lu Bu to his house for banquets.

Once when he was drunk, Lu Bu suddenly spoke out of turn and slammed the table in anger.

"How can a man live in the world between heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?"

Wang Yun's eyes lit up. He drank and used his sleeves to hide the smile on his lips. After he calmed down, he spoke.

"The general's talent is beyond the control of Grand Tutor Dong."

"I want to kill this old villain, but due to our relationship as father and son, I am afraid that it will cause gossips among future generations." This is really what Lu Bu really thinks. After all, he is not his biological father, but only his adoptive father. He can be worshipped as such whenever he wants, so what's the harm in one or two deaths?

Wang Yun was amused. With this cunning man, if his fighting power wasn't too high, if he wanted to kill one or two of them, he would just need to have a mouth. So he continued.

"The general's surname is Lu, and the Grand Master's surname is Dong. They are not biological father and son, so how can there be a father-son relationship?"

"If it weren't for Situ's words, I would have made a mistake!" Lu Bu was drunk and cheered loudly when he heard it.

"If the general supports the Han Dynasty, he will be a loyal minister, and his name will be recorded in history and his reputation will last forever! If the general helps Dong Zhuo, he will be a traitor, and his name will be recorded in history and his infamy will last forever!" Wang Yun stood up, bowed deeply, and said excitedly.

"I have made up my mind to kill this villain. I am willing to swear an oath in blood. Please do not doubt me, Situ." Lu Bu drew his sword and stabbed his arm with blood as an oath, saying resolutely.

Seeing this, Wang Yun disregarded his dignity and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"The continuation of the Han Dynasty is all thanks to the general!"

This made Lu Bu the savior of the Han Dynasty, and his blood immediately boiled, and he drank full of drinks.

Wang Yun saw him off respectfully at the door, and Lu Bu returned drunkenly, lying on his horse. However, no one noticed the mockery on the corner of his mouth.

Everyone says that Lu Bu is brave but not wise, but if that were true, how did he become the chief clerk under Ding Yuan?
The Chief Clerk is in charge of documents and logistics, and his duties are equivalent to those of the Secretary-General. Without sufficient education, ability and knowledge, he cannot hold the position.

In other words, Lu Bu is not stupid actually, but most of the time he doesn't need to use his brain and just rushes forward, just like Zhang Fei.

But since he has always relied on his strength, he has to encounter powerful enemies one after another. In this situation, he can only use his brain.

Once I used my brain, I found the key to the problem immediately.

With powerful enemies lurking outside and his adoptive father getting in the way inside, Lu Bu felt more and more restricted.

In addition, Dong Zhuo had a very bad reputation and made too many enemies. Lu Bu was still young and had to consider future issues.

All in all, this godfather is outdated and stinky, and it's time to replace him.

But you can't just change it directly. If you use a good thing and change it just like that, people will say you don't know how to live, let alone your godfather.

Therefore, Lu Bu needed a reputation of righteousness, but there were not many people who could give it to him, and Wang Yun was one of them.

Therefore, although it seemed that Wang Yun's plan succeeded, in fact, it was just a matter of each party getting what they wanted.
