Chapter 108 What is the request?

The next day, Li Ru invited the emperor's decree from Liu Xie and went to Ye Zhao's camp.

Liu Xie didn't have any good feelings for Ye Zhao. When Liu Hong was alive, Ye Zhao became close to Liu Bian. Later, Liu Hong died and He Jin was killed by the Ten General Assistant. Liu Xie clearly remembered the slap Zhang Rang to him in the face. Ye Zhao's expression was so far in mind. Therefore, Li Ru came to ask for an order, and Liu Xie put on his seal without any hesitation.

Once the emperor and the ministers, now that he has succeeded to the throne, Ye Zhao, a general who holds heavy troops, is not his confidant, and he should be in trouble.

"Wenyou, I will not obey the imperial edict if I am not obeying the imperial edict!" Ye Zhao looked at the edict in his hand, sneered, looked up at Li Ru, and smiled and said, "It's just that I am the General of the Guard and the Marquis of the Township. Even if the emperor wants to dismiss me, I need to have a formal document to cover the imperial edict with the imperial edict. If I read it correctly, the seal on the edict is just the emperor's private seal, not the imperial edict, so..."

After handing the edict back to Li Ru, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Please ask the emperor or Dong Xiang to come up with the official edict and talk about this matter with me."

Li Ru did not think that Ye Zhao would be subject to the imperial edict at the beginning. Now the whereabouts of the imperial edict are unknown. I heard that He Jin disappeared when he was killed. No one knows where it was. Without the imperial edict, it is impossible for a person of a rank of a magistrate like Ye Zhao to dismiss the emperor with a throne.

"The Ru will explain this matter to Your Majesty." Li Ru put away the edict and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "It's just that Ru is very curious. Since Ye Hou has the intention to retreat, why don't you leave directly? With the power of Ye Hou, if you want to leave, Dong Xiang would never be embarrassed."

"My message has already been explained. I want to take King Hongnong away." Ye Zhao leaned on Hu's bed and looked at Li Ru and smiled: "Wenyou should have seen it."

"I heard that Ye Hou and King Hongnong have always been kind to each other, and now they are so eager to take King Hongnong away, it is inevitable that Ye Hou has other intentions." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

"Wenyou talk, what is my intention?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"Can you guess that the jade seal of the kingdom will be in the hands of Ye Hou. If King Hongnong can be taken away, the king of Ye Hou can re-establish King Hongnong as emperor on the grounds that the imperial seal can be passed on, and compete with Dong?" After Li Ru said that, his eyes stared at Ye Zhao tightly, paying attention to the changes in Ye Zhao's expression.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, and then saw Li Ru's expression. He immediately knew what he was thinking. He shook his head and smiled, "Wenyou, Wenyou, do you think that if I want to support King Hongnong, Dong Zhuo will have the chance to hold the throne of Liu Xie?"

Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao: "This is also something that cannot be understood. What exactly is Ye Hou asking for?"

"I dare to say it, but I don't know if Wenyou dares to listen." Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and smiled, "Wenyou should know that the truth is often cruel."

"Reciting with scrupulous ears," Li Ru said with a smile.

"I have three opportunities. I can take charge of Luoyang like Dong Zhuo now. The first time is that the late emperor passed away. If I am willing, then He Jin cannot fight me. The second time is when He Jin died. With my prestige in Luoyang at that time, it is not difficult to control military power. Dong Zhuo brought only thousands of troops from Xiliang, and the Yuan was not as you claimed. Your strategy can be hidden from ordinary people, but there are no less than ten people in Luoyang City. The third time, that is, this time, if Dong Zhuo performed the destruction and establishment, if I am willing, I can raise my arms and shout. I am sure that the scholars of Luoyang, no matter how they looked at me in the past, this time, they will definitely stand here with me and fight against Dong Zhuo together. Not to mention that Ye has lived in Luoyang for six years. It is not easy to destroy Dong Zhuo, but it is not difficult to expel you and others!" Ye Zhao stretched out three fingers and looked at Li Ru and said with a smile.

"This is exactly what is curious about. Marquis Ye may not be able to win, but if Marquis Ye did not fight several times, it would not be easy for Prince Dong to achieve today's situation." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"Because I don't have Dong Zhuo's family background, if Dong Zhuo is defeated, at least he will be in the middle and the land of Xiliang can be a way out, but if I lose, it will be a state of doom." Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Now the separatist situation of the princes has been established. Only one reason is the separatist situation, and then the heroes will be able to win. Whoever can win is the new master of the world. But I am sure that Dong Zhuo's power leads the initiation of separatist situation of the princes, but it is definitely not the final winner."

"I dare not agree with Ye Hou's words. Our Lord now holds the emperor and occupies great justice. The 800-mile fertile land in Guanzhong has now been occupied by General Guo Si. There is also a land of Xiliang that can provide our army with elite soldiers and generals. With such an advantage, why does Ye Hou say that our Lord will be defeated?" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and frowned.

"There are three reasons." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "First, it may not be possible to hold an advantage, and even the final winner is the winner. Even the principle of weak and strong is not needed. Wenyou can understand it. Because Dong Zhuo is powerful, he will become the target of public criticism. All the heroes in the world will kill him. Ye asked himself about his wisdom and strategy, and his commander was not bad, but he did not dare to be enemies with the people of the world. I have to say that Dong Xiang's courage is very admirable."

At this moment, there are only Ye Zhao and Li Ru. Neither of them are loyal and righteous people. If they leave this tent, even if Li Ru makes Ye Zhao public, Ye Zhao will not admit it, and Li Ru will not do such stupid things, so Ye Zhao is not afraid of speaking freely.

"Dong Xiang has done what many of us want to do but dare not do, so we naturally have to bear the burden that everyone cannot bear."

Seeing that Li Ru was dissatisfied, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, this is just an external cause. Dong Zhuo is involved in the Central and the Xiliang land is the rear. You only need to keep a close eye on the gate and then instigate the princes to fight in the name of the emperor. It may not be impossible to crack it. But this is just an inducement, not the main thing. In terms of power, Dong Zhuo has indeed had the power to sweep the world."

"I dare to ask why the other two reasons?" Li Ru did not deny Ye Zhao's words, but looked at Ye Zhao.

"Secondly, the Xiliang army was tyrannical, only knowing how to destroy, but not govern. However, there were not many talents like Wenyou under Dong Zhuo, and there were no talents to govern the area. Wenyou alone must be quite tired now, right?" Ye Zhao smiled and said: "This governance of the Central Plains is different from the governance of Xiliang. Xiliang has a thin population and a mixed population of Qiang and Han, so it is not difficult to govern. However, in Guanzhong, Luoyang, there is no enough talent to manage smoothly. Although Dong Zhuo's actions of abolishing and enacting this time have gained power, it has also angered the scholars in the world. This place of governance will be inseparable from scholars in the next ten or even twenty years!"

Even if books have been popularized now, it is impossible to ferment a large number of poor talents without ten or twenty years. During this period, it is difficult for any force to become stronger without the support of scholars!

"Even if Dong Zhuo is now powerful, Wen You should know what the result would be without the support of aristocratic families. In less than five years, this Sili and the Three Auxiliary land would probably be destroyed by the Xiliang army."

"Third, it comes from the inside. There is a difference between the legitimate and illegitimate army in the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army. Even if Lu Bu recognizes Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father, it will be difficult to improve. This is not an external cause, but Dong Zhuo himself. From the current point of view, it is not obvious, but there are some signs. The most important thing is that I don't know if Wen You discovered that Dong Zhuo has now begun to expand and can no longer listen to others' words. Moreover, in terms of employment, he is also nepotism?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile.

When Li Ru heard this, his face changed and he looked at Ye Zhao, with a look of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Don't look at me. This kind of thing can be seen without spy investigation. Lu Bu is the chief general of the Bingzhou army, but he still has no military power. It seems that Dong Zhuo is also guarding against Lu Bu. This person is indeed brave, but he has a sword without a sheath. If he does not have the skill of controlling swords, he will easily hurt himself. What's more, although the officials in the court are frightened by Dong Zhuo's tyranny, they are not really convinced. The enemy on the surface is not difficult to deal with, but I am afraid of the enemy hiding in the dark. I know that the talent of literary talent is excellent, but the officials in Luoyang are not unscheming."

Looking at Li Ru's face, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I don't know how Wen You compares to me, but even I have been almost plotted by Yuan Wei several times in Luoyang over the years."

"Ye Hou's talent is a hundred times better than me." Li Ru said politely.

"No need to say polite words. Although Dong Zhuo has made great contributions to supporting him now, King Chenliu is not an ordinary child. It is not easy to make him peaceful. As long as he has this mind, Dong Zhuo will face not only the princes of Guandong, but also the endless open and secret arrows in Luoyang City. What's more, Dong Zhuo is becoming increasingly stubborn and with all kinds of external troubles and internal troubles, this marquis really can't think of what chance Dong Zhuo has to win?"

"As for what I ask for..." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Mrs. is the brother of King Hongnong. Since King Hongnong has lost the throne now, I want to wait for him to go back and reunite with his wife and sister."

Looking at Li Ru's disbelief expression, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "In addition, when Dong Zhuo was defeated in the future, King Hongnong was in hand, and I also have great justice to do so, so I don't have to be controlled by others."

"Suang Dong will not be defeated!" Li Ru took a deep breath and said calmly.

"If it were Dong Zhuo before entering Luoyang, I would believe this, but now Dong Zhuo is powerful and not long-lasting. After the glory, it will end up in a bleak way!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"I will tell the lord about Ye Hou's intention, but whether King Hongnong can be given up is not something that can be decided by my subordinates." Li Ru stood up and said, "It's not early, so I'm leaving."

"I know Wenyou will not admit defeat, but I have to leave a way out for myself in everything." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile and said, "If one day, my marquis' words today come true, Wenyou can come to me and give you two more advice, which is a gift."

Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice: "Religion is very careful."

"Be careful that Yuan Wei and Lu Bu, Yuan Wei is scheming and calculating, and it is the hope of the scholars in Luoyang. As for Lu Bu... there is no need to worry too much now, but if I were Yuan Wei and the others, I would definitely start from here, after all, it is easier." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Ye Hou's plan to alienate is too vulgar." Li Ru said calmly.

"It works and I'll give it away."
