Not long after Xun You left, Lieutenant General Lu Bu of Huben, General Cao Cao of Yulin, and Situ Wang Yun arrived one after another. Liu Xuan randomly chose a small palace and called a few people into the palace.

The North and South Palaces in Luoyang were dominated by the North Palace at this time, which was not only the place where the emperor and his concubines rested and lived, but also the place where political affairs were discussed. There are more than 20 palaces in the entire North Palace, each with different functions. Liu Xuan still has no

After fully understanding the detailed functions of these palaces, I just found a smaller side hall near Deyang Hall to discuss matters with these people.

After the exchange of greetings, Situ Wang Yun sat diagonally in front of Liu Xuan because of his highest status, while Cao Cao and Lu Bu were on opposite sides. There was a small case in front of him, with tea, melons and fruits already prepared on it, but the emperor was beside him.

None of these people will open their cheeks and eat as much as they can.

Although Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's subordinate, he also understood that the emperor was nominally the most powerful one in the dynasty, so he did not act too presumptuously at this time and sat there quietly.

To be honest, this scene is quite interesting to watch.

Lu Bu is nine feet long, more than two meters tall in total. He has a handsome face and is in his prime. Sitting there, he looks like a sharp halberd. No one can ignore his presence.

As for Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite him, even with the help of Liu Xuan's magic skills, he was currently less than 1.7 meters tall. With his ordinary appearance, his figure looked even more inconspicuous against the backdrop of Lu Bu opposite him. But who would have thought that,

How could such a person later become the master of half of the world? In terms of achievements, he was so much higher than Lu Bu, the person opposite him.

From this point of view, it really complies with the saying "You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

Of course, Cao Cao is not really that unbearable. Although Cao Cao's appearance is not very good-looking, he has a good temperament. Although he has lost the nascent dragon energy that should have belonged to him, because of his clear future and all the progress

Successfully, sitting there now, the confidence on his face was not concealed at all. Even though he was not as good as Lu Bu in terms of stature, he was not inferior at all in terms of momentum.

After sitting like this for a long time, no one spoke. Situ Wangyun was originally surprised that the emperor called him and these two people, and then just sat there without saying anything. Why?

Looking sideways, he found that Liu Xuan was looking at the two people with great interest. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but pay more attention to them. This look really made him realize something.

"This Cao Mengde is a handsome man for a while!"

Lu Bu was already well-known at this time, so Wang Yun naturally didn't pay much attention to it. However, Cao Cao's performance surprised him. He also thought that Cao Cao had the Yulin Army in his hands. If he could win over him, he would have no chance of winning against Dong Zhuo.

Bigger?

He wanted to speak, but Lu Bu was right next to him - Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, so he had no choice but to suppress this thought in his heart, and wait until he left to discuss with Cao Cao privately.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Yun was thinking about winning over Cao Cao, Liu Xuan suddenly said: "Situ Guan, what is the current situation in the court?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yun felt a cold sweat on his forehead, and his clothes were almost soaked on his back. He said secretly: "Why is your Majesty so reckless? Even if you want to talk about this, you can't talk about it at this time, right? Then Lu Bu can

Beside."

In fact, he also thought that if the emperor recruited him into the palace today, might he want to issue a secret edict to eradicate Dong Zhuo? If so, he would be a famous teacher, so he entered the palace to see Liu Xuan with great expectations.

.

Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, Lu Bu came.

Who is Lü Bu? He is Dong Zhuo's adopted son and his most trusted general. Although he was recruited from Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo has always trusted Lü Bu and received many rewards. Lü Bu even worshiped Dong Zhuo as his adopted father.

, with this relationship in front of us, who can touch Lu Bu's mind?

As a result, Wang Yun was a little confused. He couldn't figure out why the emperor called him here.

"Could it be that the incident was exposed and the emperor wanted to hand him over to Lu Bu to appease Dong Zhuo?"

The more he thought about it, the greater the possibility, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more obvious. If Wang Yun hadn't been quite courageous, he would have been unable to sit still at this time.

But even so, the ugly look on his face was obvious to the people around him at a glance.

Cao Cao was the farthest away, but his position happened to be able to see Wang Yun's face, so he could see it most clearly. He snorted in his heart, but his face had no expression, and he just sat there calmly and didn't move.

As for today's events, he already knew roughly that the emperor called him here just to give Wang Yun some warning to stop him from messing around.

At the same time, he was also telling Lu Bu that the emperor was not without any power. If he really wanted to fall out, Dong Zhuo might not necessarily win.

"If this is the case, is it possible that Your Majesty wants to win over Lu Bu today?"

When Liu Xuan made the plan, he mentioned recruiting Lu Bu to him. However, the original plan to recruit Lu Bu should not be implemented until after the capital was moved to Chang'an and when Dong Zhuo started to be dealt with. Why is it brought forward now?

"Has the plan changed?"

These days, Cao Cao is mostly training troops in the military camp. Although he still maintains contact with Liu Xuan, it is intermittent. Naturally, he does not know that Liu Xuan has attracted Xun Yu over these days and revised his plan——

Be more proactive rather than passively waiting for opportunities.

Although Wang Yun was frightened at this time, he still remembered that the emperor asked questions and he had to answer, so after calming down a little, he immediately said: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have been diligent and diligent, and you have Dong Xiangguo's dedicated assistance.

, I think it won’t be long before the world will be able to regain its prosperity..."

Although Wang Yun felt disgusted, he still complimented Dong Zhuo and was just going to get over it today.

However, Liu Xuan would not let him go so easily. He glanced at him and said with a smile: "I heard that Wang Situ held a banquet at home today and invited everyone in the court to discuss the big plan."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yun immediately glanced at Cao Cao, but quickly denied it - because Cao Cao had been very close to Dong Zhuo these days, he was not sure which way Cao Cao was heading, and he did not dare to invite him at all.

But besides Cao Cao, who else could tell the emperor about this matter?

At this time, Lu Bu also turned to look at Wang Yun, his eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a cold light in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person. Wang Yun did not even dare to look at Lu Bu, and his eyes would disappear as soon as he touched Lu Bu.

At this time, because the sky was getting late and it was still dark early even though spring had begun, Xun Yu and Cao Bao came in and lit the lamps in the palace. When Wang Yun saw Xun Yu, he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the middle-aged man of the Xun family.

People leaked secrets!”

Thinking of this incredible look, I still can't figure out why Xun would do such a thing? Could it be that Xun fell in love with Dong Zhuo?

"No, it's impossible for Xun to fall to Dong Zhuo!"

Dong Zhuo's origin and subsequent experiences have nothing to do with the gentry. There are no so-called gentry people under his account. The real wealthy families don't think highly of him - otherwise Dong Zhuo wouldn't promote Cai Yong to increase the number of people.

His reputation among the gentry was greatly improved.

Then there is only one possibility, Xun's family turned to the emperor - this is different from himself and others, they completely turned to the emperor's side, truly losing consideration of the emperor's interests.

But this statement doesn't make sense. No matter what, the plan of himself and others is beneficial to the emperor. After all, Dong Zhuo controls the government, and the emperor is living a miserable life, right?

The more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became. Fortunately, Liu Xuan spoke again at this time: "I heard that Wang Situ seemed to want to cooperate with the Kwantung Allied Forces inside and outside, and took this opportunity to kill all Dong Xiangguo's party..."

As soon as Wang Yun said this, before Wang Yun could make any reply, Lu Bu suddenly stood up and reached for his waist - but he touched nothing. Then he remembered that the weapon on his waist had been removed before he came in.

.

Normally, when following Dong Zhuo's attack, the weapons on his waist would not be removed. But today, when he came alone, without Dong Zhuo, the prime minister who could "carry swords to the palace" in name, Lu Bu still removed the weapons according to the rules. Of course, he was confident that even if he didn't

With weapons in hand, no one can do anything to him.

He didn't want to touch everything with his hands at this time, but this time he calmed down. After all, he was in front of the emperor at this time. It would be inappropriate if he did too much. He immediately saluted Liu Xuan: "I am reckless, but I still hope that your majesty will do it."

Don't be surprised, but Wang Situ wants to do something unethical to the Prime Minister, and His Majesty must make the decision on this matter."

Wang Yun wanted to be detrimental to Dong Zhuo and others, wasn't he just trying to be detrimental to him, Lu Bu? Now he, Lu Bu, was also a member of Dong Zhuo's party. Although he didn't understand why the emperor did this, there was one truth that was unmistakable: whoever wants his own life,

Then take that man's life first.

Liu Xuan didn't answer, but raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Lu Bu. His gesture made Lu Bu stunned for a moment. In the impression, although Liu Xuan was the emperor, he usually smiled when talking to others, although he looked friendly.

There was no majesty, but the glance just now made Lu Bu clearly feel the dissatisfaction in Liu Xuan's heart - the kind of aura that a superior person exudes after being offended.

"What crime did Wang Situ commit? Dong Zhuo controlled the government and acted unscrupulously. Shouldn't he be executed?"

As soon as Liu Xuan said these words, Wang Yun's heart that was about to pop out of his throat finally dropped a little. On the other hand, Lu Bu, who was opposite him, was immediately startled. At this time, his face was even more wary, thinking that the emperor was going to fight with him.

Dong Zhuo fell out and called him into the palace today just to get rid of him first.

Seeing that he was on guard and ready to take action at any time, Liu Xuan did not do anything like throwing a cup as he expected. Instead, he said: "Marquis Duting has lost his composure. Please sit down and talk first."

It is a sin to be disobedient before the king. Although this sin can be big or small, Lu Bu did not want to poke trouble at this time.

More importantly, he noticed that the emperor didn't seem to want his life. In addition, there were no swordsmen around, only a few weak civil servants. It seemed that he had nothing to fear?

Sitting back on the table, Lu Bu was curious about what the emperor wanted to say to him.

"Let's see what tricks this young emperor is playing?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Rang suddenly rushed in, whispered a few words to Cao Bao, and rushed to Liu Xuan's side, whispering: "Dong Zhuo wants to kill Queen Mother He and King Hongnong, but now he has already

He sent soldiers and horses to surround King Hongnong's residence."

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. He took a deep breath and shouted: "Meng De!"

Although Cao Cao didn't know what happened, he still stood up and responded: "I'm here!"

"I haven't seen Queen Mother He and King Hongnong for a long time, and I miss them very much. Meng De took Yu Linqi to bring them into the palace." After saying that, before Cao Cao could ask questions, he added: "If anyone dares to stop them, there is no need to do so.

Please tell me, just kill him!"

After hearing these words, Cao Cao understood everything and immediately bowed and accepted the order: "My lord, I obey the order!"
