"And even the treasure of the emperor cannot be handed over to you. You must know that you are not the emperor, so how can you hold the treasure of the emperor? The person in charge of the treasure of the emperor must be a eunuch. The emperor sends eunuchs to the Shangshu Desk, and specializes in the treasure of the emperor to stamp seals and seals for the imperial edicts and government orders!"

Dong Zhuo also knew that it was not realistic to ask the emperor to take out the imperial seal, but Liu Cheng said that he would also send eunuchs to the Shangshu Desk to take charge of the emperor's treasures, which made him hesitate. However, he thought that the eunuchs who sent past were only responsible for stamping seals for edicts and government orders, and had no other rights. He felt relieved and agreed: "Okay! The third condition is that the emperor will not appear in front of the courtiers except for the great prefectures and sunshine in the future, and will not interfere in political affairs!"

"You can, I can agree to this on behalf of Your Majesty!" Liu Cheng agreed and said, "But I have several conditions, so please let Lord Sikong agree! First, no one is allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Northern Military. The Northern Military's food, pay, military supplies, and military supplies cannot be short of, and the relevant yamen in the court must be delivered regularly!"

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "Hmph, even if others want to interfere in the affairs of the Northern Military, they can't interfere. As for food, military and military supplies, our family cannot guarantee that there are too many natural disasters and man-made disasters this year, and the treasury has long been empty. I don't know what the situation will be next year. Our family can only guarantee that if I, Dong Zhuo, have you. If I, Dong Zhuo, don't even think about it!"

"If I were to find out that you were playing tricks on me in terms of food, military and military funds, I wouldn't wait to die!" Liu Cheng warned a little badly, and then continued: "Second, the Tingwei Mansion must be handed over to me!"

Dong Zhuo smiled in his heart, do you think I, Dong Zhuo, will take the laws of the Han Dynasty seriously? What I, Dong Zhuo, want to do, will never be solved by the Tingwei Mansion. He agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I will leave the Tingwei Mansion to you, but you can't even think about other yamen!"

Liu Cheng didn't care. It was enough to have the Tingwei Mansion. He stated the third condition: "The last condition is how much the royal family cost in the past, and it will remain unchanged in the future. You must not delay with any excuses, withhold or not give it!"

Dong Zhuo knew that since he could not depose the emperor, he would definitely not deduct or shortage the royal family's expenses. There was no need for this. If he did this, he would end up being accused of treating the royal family, which would be less expensive. He agreed: "Of course the royal family would not be less expensive. Our family has not been petty about such trivial matters yet! If General Liu had no other conditions, then please issue an edict to the court and the people who discussed it. In addition, our regent must have a suitable official position. Sikong's position is not enough to demonstrate our power!"

Liu Cheng frowned and said, "What official position do you want?"

"Be the Grand Tutor first, and then be promoted to the prime minister in two months!"

Liu Cheng's face was very bad. He thought that Dong Zhuo's appearance was too ugly, but he knew that the official position was actually just a name. If he did not have enough credit and qualifications, even if he had high official position, he would be despised and looked down upon. If he did not have enough ability, even if Dong Zhuo was the prime minister, this guy would not be able to be a long time.

"Let you be proud for a while. I see how long you can be proud. Without the corresponding ability, you as the prime minister will not be able to do it for long. When you completely lose control of the situation, you will not be far from death!"

Liu Cheng cursed in his heart and agreed, "Yes, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister are just empty titles. Since you want to do it, what's the point of letting you do it!"

"We like it, hahahaha..." Dong Zhuo laughed and stopped to Liu Cheng and said, "If you and I have different strengths, they are on the same level. Our family has become the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister. You can't let you sit in the right general's position, or let you be the Grand Marshal?"

Liu Cheng sneered in his heart. He was really impressed by Dong Zhuo. At this time, he was still in the mood to consider it for him. He said coldly: "How can the country's important weapons be easily granted to each other? This general was favored by the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. It took only more than two months for him to be a civilian to become a right general. He dared not expect a higher official position. Even if he did it, he would not have the corresponding qualifications and talents, it would be just a ridiculous thing!"

"Hmph, you know how much you have!" Dong Zhuo was very disgusted with Liu Cheng's words. Everyone came for official positions, titles and wealth. You guy actually thinks you are a big official. Is it because you have a brain problem or pretending to be a pretentious person?

Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo finally came out of the side hall, and then the emperor's edict was issued, announcing to the ministers that they would retreat to the Northern Palace. Except for the first day of each month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month, they would not come to the court again. Dong Zhuo was moved to the Grand Tutor, and was in charge of the government affairs, and ordered the Marquis of Anyi and the Right General Liu Cheng to supervise the country, in charge of the affairs of the Northern Military and the Tingwei Mansion. Dong Zhuo was appointed and removed by the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and the governors of various provinces. The appointment and removal of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and the governors of various places must be presented to the emperor in person, and the emperor's red pen and stamped with the jade seal. There are still some clauses that were not shown in the edict. These were all agreements reached by Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng in private, and they could not be put on the table, so as not to make a laugh.

After the imperial edict was read, the civil and military ministers bowed one after another and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor finally saved it and was not deposed. This is a thing worthy of happiness and gratitude for many old ministers, but it is not good news for some people. No matter what, Luoyang City can be stable for a while.

However, the news from the palace was spreading outside, and as it spread, it changed its flavor. After all, Dong Zhuo rushed into the palace with thousands of soldiers. A few days ago, he muttered to depose the emperor. Today, the imperial edict was summoned to the world. It can be seen that the emperor was forced to retreat to the North Palace and let Dong Zhuo take charge of the government affairs. What should the three dukes and nine ministers and the governors of various provinces report to the emperor for approval? This is just a nice statement. If you really want to replace the three dukes and nine ministers and the governors of various provinces, isn’t it just a word from Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo puts a knife on the emperor’s neck. Do the emperor dare to disagree?

In the blink of an eye, it was late November. After a while of fermentation, the public opinion among the people became increasingly unfavorable to Dong Zhuo, and the news spread became more and more scary. Finally, there was a unified saying, that after Dong Zhuo took power, he was indecent and insulted the imperial concubine, princess and palace maids at night. The little emperor dared not speak out. Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and bloodthirsty on weekdays, and often killed people in the mansion for fun. He was a little dissatisfied and scolded the ministers and officials in the court. When he was unhappy, he drew his sword in court to kill people. The ministers and officials in the court were like pigs and dogs in front of him.

······

Dong Zhuo Mansion.

Dong Zhuo was furious and roared: "When did our family stay in the dragon bed at night? When did we insult the imperial concubine, princess and princesses? When did our family make fun of killing people in the mansion? Who is throwing dirty water on our family? Who is falsely accusing and spreading rumors? Our family is going to kill him!"

He Yong bowed and said, "Taishi, someone must have deliberately slandered the Taishi, trying to make the Taishi's reputation bad!"

Lu Bu said from the side: "I'm afraid it was someone sent by Liu Cheng!"

Li Su shook his head and said, "Unlike, I sent someone to check. This kind of rumor was first spread among scholars. Liu Cheng was not even a powerful man. He had no friendship with scholars. Don't be aware of him as the right general, there were not many scholars around him who were his aides. The eyes of those scholars looked at the sky all day long. Can they take Liu Cheng seriously? Besides, since the Taishi took office during this period, Liu Cheng had not interfered with the Taishi's various decrees as agreed. He almost went back and forth in the Northern Army barracks, palaces and homes every day, and rarely went to other places."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "If it weren't for him, who would it be? Wenyou, send someone to investigate. You must find out the person behind the rumor-mongering person. Once it is found out, our family will have to cut him into pieces!"

"Yes, Grand Tutor!" Li Ru agreed. He instinctively felt something was wrong. He immediately realized how much negative impact the rumors would have on Dong Zhuo once they spread throughout the world, and the princes in those places...

Thinking of this, Li Ru shivered and said to Dong Zhuo: "Taishi, things are a bit bad. Now, the person who investigates the behind-the-scenes commander seems to be no longer the most important thing. Think about it, if these rumors spread quickly throughout the world, the princes from all over the country will definitely use this as an excuse to raise an army to oppose the Taishi. It is false to oppose the Taishi, and it is true to take this opportunity to strengthen their strength!"

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately asked: "Is there a way to kill the rumors? It is prohibited to spread them to various places?"

Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems unlikely!"

“Why?”

"Because so far, the Taishi has no power in various places. If you want to stop the spread of rumors, you must let the local governments cooperate in the implementation. If the local governments are willing to cooperate, as long as you post a list in various places, discuss the government orders, prohibit slander the Taishi, allow the people to supervise and report each other, and implement reward strategies for the whistleblower. Once the rumor-monger is caught, severely punish the debt, and no one dares to spread it in a mess. But how many local governments are willing to cooperate? Adults should know that almost all local governments are controlled by scholars. If they do not cooperate, it will be useless even if you issue more government orders!"

Dong Zhuo was anxious now, and he said, "What should I do if I do this?"

He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Li and others looked at each other, and everyone communicated with their eyes. Zhou Li and stood up and bowed: "Tai Shi, the lower officials have two strategies, and two-pronged approach may lead to some results!"

Dong Zhuo immediately pointed at Zhou Li and said, "You said!"

Zhou Se got up and walked a few steps in the lobby, with his left hand on his back, and raised a finger with his right hand and said, "First, the Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples are everywhere. The Grand Master asked Yuan Shao to be the prefect of Bohai a few days ago and also made him a marquis. But the Grand Master did not do enough. Didn't you agree to the Yuan family to let Yuan Shu be the rear general? Why don't you just fulfill this promise and win over the Yuan family and sell it well. The Grand Master is urging the governments in various places with the orders of the court to cooperate with the ban on rumors spreading. The Yuan family will definitely not give the Grand Master face and will tell their disciples and former officials to cooperate with the court's government orders!"

Dong Zhuo nodded and sighed: "Our family has always been very disdainful of the Yuan family, so they have been dragging the promised things and will not do it. This time, I am afraid that I can only sell it to them. Since that is the case, then I will sign Yuan Shu as the Empress General and send someone to Yuan Mansion to tell Yuan Wei what I mean and let him know more. I am good, he is good to everyone. If he makes our family uncomfortable, our family will also make life difficult for him!"
