Sister A’s forgiveness made Ding Chen feel much more relaxed.

However, this also made him more determined to set up defenses to let Ajie and Cao Ang leave Chang'an safely.

The water in Chang'an is so muddy!

On the first day after returning, Ding Chen clearly felt the strange atmosphere hidden in the air.

On the second day of the Bailiangtai banquet, Ding Chen's name of "Royal Scholar" spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

This also added a lot of trouble to Ding Chen. For a time, in front of the Ding Mansion in Jieshuipi became lively. Many people came to visit Ding Chen, but they were all rejected by Ding Chen. He was not the one who seeks fame. He was a quiet person by nature and did not like the noisy atmosphere. So on the third day, he left Ding Mansion, accompanied Cai Yong and his daughter, and took a few boys to Zhongnan Mountain to find a secluded view. This further dispelled people's enthusiasm.

After all, the end of the year is approaching!

On the day Ding Chen entered the mountain, Li Jue led his troops to leave Chang'an and return to his base.

Because he also realized that Ding Chen could not change his mind.

Since that's the case, it would be less meaningful to stay in Chang'an. It would be just a joke to continue to stay here.

The third day passed!

Ding Chen did not go home!

Dong Zhuo knew that Ding Chen would not change his mind.

This made him feel a little unhappy, but he also gained some favorability for Ding Chen.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had moved the Prime Minister's Mansion from Weiyang Palace. However, the new Prime Minister's Mansion had not been completed, so he could only choose a relatively gorgeous mansion as the temporary resident, which was not too far from the Weiyang Palace.

"Wenyou thought, what about Ding Ziyang?"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo looked as if nothing had happened and asked Li Ru.

Li Ru couldn't help but squeezing her teeth and said, "I don't understand this person very much.

Actually, I heard Wenhe say something... When the Prime Minister ordered him to go to war, he promised to agree to his request. Ding Ziyang actually wanted to take his sister and nephew away from Luoyang, and did not want to stay with the Prime Minister.

But I didn't expect that he actually made a promise...

Such a person, as the Prime Minister said, is a true 'righteous man', or, he has great plans and has other plans."

"In your opinion, which kind of he is?"

Li Ru was silent!

I don't know how to answer this, or he doesn't know the answer.

After a long time, Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "In my opinion, he is more like the former.

But I really don’t know him, so I don’t know. What he is showing now is true or false.”

Dong Zhuo said: "Since that's the case, let's take it as true."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, suddenly changed his mind and said, "Wenyou, can he really serve me?"

"ah?"

Li Ru was stunned and looked at Dong Zhuo in surprise.

He didn't expect that Dong Zhuo wanted to win him over even though he knew that Ding Chen had no intention.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable.

Dong Zhuo likes brave people, such as Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.

Thinking back to the beginning, Lu Bu surrendered not because he really wanted to serve Dong Zhuo, but because he came for glory and wealth. Therefore, in comparison, Ding Chen's situation seems to be unacceptable, and it is more worthy of winning over.

Before he could speak, Dong Zhuo said, "Pengsheng is a tiger and wolf nature.

Although he is quite respectful to me now, he actually has other plans. I regret it now. After he surrendered, he did not break up the Bingzhou army in order to appease him, so that he now holds the Bingzhou army and has made a vague achievement.

Ding Ziyang's heart is not with me, but he is willing to do his best for me.

I saw the hard work and great contributions in the battle of Xingyang... Li Su also admired him very much. Wenyou, you know, Li Su is a gentle person on the surface, arrogant in his bones, and harsh in his heart. Even though Lu Bu was a fellow villager with him, he was very disdainful. After the end of this battle in Xingyang, Li Su returned and praised Ding Ziyang in front of me."

When Dong Zhuo said this, he suddenly laughed.

"Wenyou, a person who is not in my heart, does his best for his relatives and for that promise. If he sincerely wishes to serve me, why should I worry about not achieving great things? Besides, his good friendship with Cai Yong is not as vulgar as Lu Bu."

The last sentence nakedly shows Dong Zhuo’s disgust towards Lu Bu.

Li Ru also knew that Dong Zhuo had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu recently, but he had never expressed it in such a straightforward way as he did today.

If you think about it carefully, it seems normal.

Ding Chen is also a proud person, but he is gentle to others and looks very easy to get close to him.

But Lu Bu showed his pride outside, and he looked arrogant and did not take anyone seriously, or even domineering.

In contrast, even Li Ru felt that he liked Ding Chen more.

One hides pride inside the bones, and the other shows it outside.

More importantly, there seems to be no big difference in the abilities of the two, so it is easy for people to distinguish between the two.

Li Ru closed her eyes and pondered without saying a word.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said to Dong Zhuo: "Ziyang is the one who favors his relatives.

As far as I know, he used to respect Cao Cao very much. Later, he clashed with Cao Cao one after another, more because he resented him to ignore his wife's safety and felt a little bit hatred because of love. I feel that in his heart, his feelings for Cao Cao have not changed."

"Um?"

"I've been thinking about one thing these days."

"What's up?"

"Meng De was cunning and resourceful. Although he was a little bit of a rookie when he was young, he had become much more steady since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This person is resourceful. This time he personally led his troops and attacked Hucheng Pavilion. To be honest, if Hua Xiong had not thrown Ding Chen at Hucheng Pavilion at random, the situation of the war had changed at this time.

I was wondering, why would such a resourceful person have rushed to assassinate the Prime Minister?

I’ll forgive my son-in-law for being brave. If it were me, I would try to send my wife out first and then let Ding Chen accompany him. In this way, even if the Prime Minister at that time realized that with Ding Ziyang’s bravery, it would be difficult for the Prime Minister to have the chance to escape..."

Dong Zhuo immediately sat upright, showing a solemn expression.

He thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's true!"

If Cao Cao had Ding Chen with him, he would be very dangerous.

Li Rudao: "So, my son-in-law felt that Meng De was in assassination that day, because he was forced to take the risk of assassination because he was forced to do so. Prime Minister, after he assassination, he fled in a hurry, and even his family had no time to notify him. What is the reason? As far as I know, Meng De and Ziyang's sister are very loving, and they can be said to be deeply in love with each other."

"you mean……"

"I mean, since Meng De was not really trying to assassinate the Prime Minister, and he was quite talented, why didn't the Prime Minister reward him?"

This change of tone made Dong Zhuo caught off guard.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

"Don't go around the circle with your writing, it's okay to just say it."

"The Prime Minister wants to win over Ding Chen, but it is better for Cao Cao to give him a favor.

I heard that he had lived in Dongwuyang City before and recruited many soldiers and heroes.

A few days ago, Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, was killed, and Liu Dai used Cao Cao to pacify the Black Mountain bandits... Why didn't the Prime Minister take this opportunity to send someone to issue a letter to formally appoint Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun, which can make him legitimately pacify the Black Mountain bandits. On the other hand, he can show goodwill to Cao Cao and show the prime minister's magnanimity; thirdly, it can also make the princes of Shandong feel dissatisfied with him.

By then, he would have to resign from the princes of Shandong, and he would have to rely on the prime minister.

In this way, Ding Chen will naturally serve the Prime Minister sincerely..."

I have to say that Li Ru has real talent and knowledge.

In a short time, he came up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone, which made Dong Zhuo very satisfied and nodded repeatedly to praise.

"Wenyou's plan is very wonderful, just as you said.

However, a prefect of Dongjun was a little stingy and was adding a Marquis of Feiting to Cao Cao! I remember that his grandfather was Marquis of Feiting at the beginning, so he asked him to inherit Marquis of Feiting. Only in this way can I show my sincerity. What do Wenyou think?"

Marquis Fei Ting and Marquis Fei Ting are completely different from Marquis Hereditary Marquis.

Li Ru is a little envious of Cao Cao now. Just because he married a wife and a brother-in-law, he was able to inherit the Marquis of Feiting?

"Prime Minister, it's really brilliant."

"Then let me leave this matter to you."

"Here!"

Li Ru took the order and bowed to leave.

Just as he went out, he suddenly heard Dong Zhuo's low voice behind him saying, "Wenyou, the matter of Weiyang Palace has been over, but I hope you don't make decisions without authorization in the future. I know your ideas, but I also have my plans."

Li Ru was so excited that he was a chilling cicada, and then he staggered.

It was not Li Ru's idea to ask Dong Zhuo to set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Weiyang Palace.

But he is a scholar, so how could he not know the meaning of the Weiyang Palace?

At that time, Dong Zhuo agreed to set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Weiyang Palace, but he really didn't know the etiquette. However, Li Ru did not remind him that in fact, there was no desire in his heart, hoping that Dong Zhuo would become the 95th Lord one day.

Now, Dong Zhuo made the words clear, which made him sweat.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.
