When Li Ru came to the palace, General Dong Cheng, the chariot and cavalry, was also in the palace.

"Do General Dong come to see Your Majesty because of Wang Li's attack on Chang'an?" Li Ru and the pseudo-emperor had seen the ritual and asked Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng snorted coldly: "For ministers, you should be loyal to the emperor and the country. How can you all be like you and Lu Bu, who want to occupy Chang'an and send troops privately, but the fire in the city gate affected the fish in the pond. You angered that Wang Li, causing His Majesty to follow you and be implicated."

"Brother-in-law, be careful!"

The pseudo-emperor coughed lightly, and Dong Cheng immediately reacted. Li Ru was a poisonous soldier under Dong Zhuo back then, and Lu Bu was also a villain who killed people without blinking. Now the defense in Chang'an City is all in their hands, so he really can't argue with him. However, the anger in his heart could not be heard. His face turned blue and white, so he simply retreated aside and stopped talking.

It turned out that Dong Cheng was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of Han, and the general of Dong Zhuo's precious son-in-law Niu Fu. He had participated in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion and had a close relationship with Dong, Dong Huang and others, and was both Dong Zhuo's minion. Because his daughter married the fake emperor and became a concubine, she became the cheap father-in-law of the fake emperor.

Humph! If this guy hadn't given birth to a good child, how could he dare to show off in front of him?

Li Ru looked at Dong Cheng with a smile, which was so shocked that Dong Cheng was frightened, and then he said to the pseudo-emperor: "Your Majesty, General Dong's words are very wrong. I think that Wang Li is supporting the young emperor in Luoyang and surrendering His Majesty to the Prince of Chenliu regardless of the righteousness of the world. It is unbearable.

General Lu Fengxian, the General of the East, raised an army with Cao Cao to rebel against the king. It was not that General Lu wanted to plan for Chang'an, but that was to repay the king's kindness. Recently, General Lu almost died in the journey, but General Dong suspected that General Lu's intentions should not be done by the important officials of the country."

"What Shizhong Li said is very true, please pay attention to your father-in-law's words!" The fake emperor nodded and glanced at Dong Cheng, saw him apologizing to Li Ru, and then asked, "Shizhong Li, are you here for this Wang Li so late?"

Li Ru nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Li is the leader of the Young Emperor and is invading Chang'an. I want to ask Your Majesty what plans do you have in the future?"

"Intend?"

"That's right!" Li Ru took the tablet and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty and the Shao Emperor of Luoyang are both the sons of the late emperor. Your Majesty succeeded to the Nine Provinces because the Shao Emperor was abolished. Now the Shao Emperor has left but he has appointed Your Majesty as the Prince of Chenliu. I want to know if Your Majesty is willing to return to Luoyang to be a free prince, or will he continue to patrol the world?"

Li Ru was stunned by the false emperor Liu Xie with just one sentence.

To be honest, when the young emperor ascended the throne again in Luoyang, he had no feelings for the world to dismiss Liu Xie as Prince Chenliu. After all, the world or Chang'an did not belong to him at that time. He was just a puppet, Dong Zhuo's puppet, and it doesn't matter to him whether he was abolished or not.

He was even very happy. After all, Brother Wang's re-appointment of emperor means that Brother Wang will be incompatible with Dong Zhuo. Brother Wang will definitely kill Dong Zhuo and rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering.

However, when Dong Zhuo died in front of him, he suddenly felt like he was singing with a serf. The aura of king and domineering suddenly burst out, and several generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu were appointed one after another.

Of course, he knew that whether it was Lu Bu or Zhang Ji, they all had their own troops and might not have listened to him or took him seriously.

At least he used his power or righteousness to live a real emperor's affair. Even if he was taken back to Luoyang by Wang Li in the future and became his Prince Chenliu again, he could boast about being an emperor in front of his children and grandchildren, right?

However, Li Ru's words knocked him back to his original form

, and at the same time, it gradually released the devil in his heart.

He had just taken over the power, and he had just felt that his life had reached its peak. Is it like this? Ask yourself, who in this world doesn’t want to be an emperor? Which emperor would like to hand over the power in his hands silently to be a leisurely prince?

Before the pseudo-emperor had spoken, Li Ru further reported forward and said, "Your Majesty, during the previous dynasty, the seven kings opposed the reduction of the vassals. King Liu Bi of Wu, King Liu Wu of Chu, King Liu Sui of Zhao, King Liu Piguang of Jinan, King Liu Xian of Zichuan, King Liu Xiongqu of Jiaodong jointly raised the banner.

They are all the uncles or uncles of Emperor Xiaojing, but once the matter is defeated, all the princes will be destroyed. The people are so warm that there is no father or son in the Tian family. Isn’t your Majesty afraid that once the young emperor returns to Luoyang, the young emperor will become suspicious, and Your Majesty himself will follow in the footsteps of the ancestors?"

"Bold, Shizhong Li, how dare you criticize my emperor brother?" The pseudo-emperor stared at Li Ru with a stern expression.

Li Ru was not moved by the words of the pseudo-emperor, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you really think the Young Emperor is his own brother and the Young Emperor is the lord of the world, Your Majesty would have killed me here long ago. Why do you have to talk nonsense to me? Why do you have to call yourself 'I'?"

"You!" The pseudo-emperor pointed at Li Ru and couldn't speak.

Li Ru did not give the pseudo-Emperor a chance to breathe, and continued to stab the pseudo-Emperor in his heart, trying to fully release the devil in his heart: "Your Majesty was born in the royal family, so naturally he knew the rules of the royal family, so how could he forget it easily? These reactions should be what Your Majesty thinks at this moment!

Your Majesty, since you have something to think about it, you have to think about it. Once you listen to the false edict and sneak back to Luoyang, then it will be like Fan Kuai said: I am a fish for the knife and I am a fish. Your Majesty will only be a salted fish on the chopping board and will never be able to turn over again! General Dong, do you think I am right?"

Yes, once Liu Xie is demoted to the prince, his daughter will become the princess of the county, and he will no longer be the father-in-law of the current dynasty, but just a relative of a idle prince. What will he do? Should he also hand over the military power to the court again and recognize people and slaughter them?

Dong Cheng was stunned, and a vermilion gradually rose on his face.

Seeing that he had successfully instigated, Li Ru turned to the pseudo-emperor and continued: "Daze Township, two righteous men, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, rebelled in the Daze Township during the Former Qin Dynasty, shouting, "Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers?" These two men were just peasants, and could guide the righteous men across the country to fight against the violent Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty is the dragon son and grandson of Emperor Gaozu, and the real nobles of heaven. Could it be that you are not as good as these two people?"

"Don't say it again!" The pseudo-emperor shouted loudly, pressing the dragon chair with both hands hard and blue veins rising.

"Forget it, since Your Majesty is willing to be a prince who is slaughtered, he will live his life as trembling as before Dong Zhe that day, what else do I, Li Ru?" Li Ru turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Dong Chengye stepped forward to Li Ru's side: "Shizhong Li, do you really support Your Majesty?"

Li Ru looked at Dong Cheng, and a hint of mockery flashed across his face: "General Dong's words are funny. I remember when Li was ordered by the Hongnong Doctor, he personally poisoned the Shao Emperor and Empress Dowager Lingsi under the order of Dong's thief. Do you think that the Shao Emperor and Empress Dowager Lingsi are the lords of a country and would choose to forget to show their big belly?"

The pseudo-emperor's eyes were like waves. After a while, he gradually calmed down and took over the olive branch from Li Ru: "Li Shizhong, Wang Li and tens of thousands of troops attacked Chang'an, went to Hanguan, Hongnong, Tongguan, and repeatedly defeated Xiliang, Cao Cao and Lu Bu. Do you think you are sure to defeat Wang Li to defend Chang'an?"

Li Ru turned around and said, "Your Majesty, General Lu has written a letter to Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Li went to Chang'an

To save the lord, with the strength of the people and the defense of Chang'an, I think we may be able to hold on to Chang'an for several months, but we are not sure of defending Chang'an!"

"Li Wenyou, you dare to spend my time!" The pseudo-emperor's eyes swelled again.

Li Ru sighed and continued, "Your Majesty, be careful, please listen to the details of my ministers and Your Majesty!"

"Accurate, then let's talk about it!" The pseudo-emperor nodded and asked the little yellow gate beside him to pick up a stool for Li Ru.

Li Ru bowed and thanked him and sat down on the stool: "The important part of Chang'an Jingzuo, Fengyi County has been built by Wang Li, and Jingzhao County, Zheng County, Xinfeng and other places have also been kneeling down and under their socks. Only Fufeng County is left in Chang'an, and the geographical advantage is not in our hands.

Although Han Sui, Ma Teng and Li can relieve their temporary worries, they are all united for the sake of interests or righteousness, and cannot be used as soldiers under Wang Li as they are like arm-to-arms. They can still compete in the short term. After a long time, conflicts will inevitably arise, so people and harmony have no chance of winning.

With the right time, place and people, Wang Li has already taken the second place. How can we win this battle? Therefore, the ministers and General Lu think that Your Majesty's place of dragon prosperity is not in Chang'an."

“Where is that?”

Li Ru smiled faintly and looked at the pseudo-emperor confidently and firmly: "Yanzhou! Your Majesty's place of dragon prosperity is not in Chang'an, but in Yanzhou!"

"Yanzhou?"

"That's right!" Listening to the increasingly rapid breathing of the pseudo-emperor, Li Ru smiled proudly and nodded, "Cao Cao was defeated by Wang Li, and his command was lost to Wang Li. Because his father, Taiwei Cao, was destroyed by Zhang Zhi, general of the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian, he personally led the remaining troops to Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao was famous in the country and lived in Bohai for a long time. He wanted to take advantage of Jizhou to take over Luoyang and work with the Shao Emperor's court, but because Wang Li was jealous of the talented people, he sent Han Fu, Liu Bei and Liu Yu to fight against Yuan Shao in the name of Luoyang court, which led to Yuan Shao still being deeply trapped in the war in the Central Plains and unable to escape.

In addition, Liu Biao, a royal family member of Liu Han, appointed General Zhennan, the governor of Jingzhou, and was appointed Marquis of Chengwu. He was kind and powerful in Jingzhou, and was able to induce people to be impressed thousands of miles away. He also established scholars and learned to love the people and raise scholars, and was also an ally of Yuan Shao.

A few years ago, Wang Li's letter aroused the hatred between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, and Fancheng and Jiangxia all fell into Sun Jian's hands. The favorite general Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and Lu Gong also lost all their lives to Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce. His hatred for Wang Li was like a surging Yellow River.

Your Majesty, just imagine that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and General Lu are all officials of the country. They can conquer war-going people, but they are all private enemies of Wang Li. Yanzhou is located in the center of Jizhou, Jingzhou and Xuzhou. If Your Majesty abandons Chang'an and takes over Yanzhou, would these several people be willing to resist Luoyang and serve His Majesty?

Moreover, although Chang'an was the old capital, he saw that yellow sand was exhausted and scarce, and was not as rich as Yanzhou's prosperity. If His Majesty was more emperor and issued orders to Yanzhou, who would dare to refuse to obey? Isn't the young emperor of Luoyang also frightened?"

"good!"

"But this matter is a little hindering..."

“What’s the obstacle?”

"Although the defense of Chang'an City is unbreakable, General Lu's expedition was severely damaged. General Dong Cheng and Fu Wan's athletes are brave and good at fighting. They are also one of the few elite soldiers in the Han Dynasty. Hope..."

"This is my opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty, and no one can become a stumbling block in this matter. General Lu and Shizhong Li need to use troops, even if they are recruited, I agree!"

The pseudo-emperor suddenly stood up and slapped hard on the dragon throne. His eyes were red, and a trace of determination flashed across his face, and a murderous aura was in his eyes, "If I can regain the world in the future, you will be my prime minister!"
