The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 109: The Mountains
What the hell!
Jia Xu and Lu Bu were the first to speak up: "General Zuo, don't talk nonsense!"

Niu Fu was a little slow to react: "How could His Majesty poison Lord Weiyang? General Zuo, please don't talk nonsense!"

Dong Min turned around and glared at Niu Fu.

He knew that Jia Xu and Lu Bu supported the emperor.

How come even you, a true "family member", are going to support the emperor?
Niu Fu really didn't dare to say anything bad about Liu Xie.

The previous divination by Liu Xie is still vivid in my mind.

The scene of those small coins showing one side at the same time was too shocking!

Especially when he heard later that the small amount of money the emperor rewarded Zhang Liao saved his life on the battlefield, Niu Fu, who was already superstitious about ghosts and gods, respected the emperor even more and dared not show the slightest disrespect!

"white!"

Dong Zhuo saw that Dong Bai seemed to have a sudden illness, so he pushed away the palace servants around him and hugged Dong Bai: "Bai? How is it?"

Dong Bai was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

"Doctor! Pass the order from the imperial physician!"

The palace maids hurriedly ran outside, their steps so fast that they even surpassed Liu Xie's imperial jade carriage.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Liu Xie, who had originally planned to go back to rest, was so frightened when he heard that Dong Bai had suddenly fallen ill that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Go back! Go back to the Grand Master!"

When everyone in the hall saw that the imperial physician did not arrive but the emperor Liu Xie came instead, they all made way for him.

Dong Min was also somewhat angry when he saw the emperor coming over: "Why did your majesty want to murder Lord Weiyang?"

?

I, plot to murder Dong Bai?

If it wasn't for the urgent need to save people, Liu Xie would definitely slap him in the face.

How stupid must I be to murder Dong Bai?
Who doesn't know how important Dong Bai is to Dong Zhuo?
If something happened to Dong Bai now, who knows if Dong Zhuo's temperament would change drastically?

Even if his temperament didn't change drastically, he would be sad for a while... Now is the critical moment to implement the military farming and military service system. Would Liu Xie be crazy to attack Dong Bai?

It means giving up all the pros and cons... Although Dong Bai is a bit naive, he is still a good kid. Who would be willing to do something to such a kid?
Liu Xie said impatiently: "Get out of the way."

"..."

"Get out of the way! Can you heal the sick and save the people?"

Dong Min then reluctantly gave up his seat.

Liu Xie naturally didn't know how to diagnose people through observation, listening, questioning and palpation.

Fortunately, Jia Xu stepped forward and reported to Liu Xie, saying that Weiyang Jun seemed to be eating Xiaoshi just now, and said that his abdomen felt warm after eating it...

Liu Xie: …

Go to her warm belly!
It was clearly the saltpeter burning Dong Bai's stomach!

"Wenhe, don't you know how to stop her? She's stupid, and so are you?"

Jia Xu looked aggrieved: "Lord Weiyang said it was a medicinal herb, and I didn't think about it carefully."

"Heartbroken Grass is also a medicinal herb. Can we eat too much of that thing?"

Liu Xie placed his hand on Dong Bai's forehead.

It’s very hot, it seems that the body has reacted.

"How much saltpeter has this little girl eaten? Don't tell me that she has been eating it for the past ten days."

The poisoning is too severe and detoxification is needed.

"Go get some egg whites and some water from the well."

Egg white can protect the stomach and form mucous membrane. It can also dilute poisons and slow down the body's absorption of poisons.

After that, drink plenty of water to dilute the poison.

As for whether he can wake up, it depends on Dong Bai's own luck.

However, Liu Xie thought that the problem would not be serious.

Most of the saltpeter nowadays is naturally produced, so its purity is not that high and its toxicity is not that strong.

Dong Bai is a strong young man. As long as he is treated in time, he should be able to wake up.

With the infusion of large amounts of egg white and water, Dong Bai's condition improved almost visibly.

The rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the distorted face gradually returned to calm.

It was at this time that the doctor finally arrived.

"Grand Master, your Majesty handled it properly just now, and Lord Weiyang should be fine now."

With the doctor's endorsement, Dong Zhuo, who had been staying by Dong Bai's side, finally caught his breath.

It was Dong Bai who was suffering, but it was Dong Zhuo who was sweating profusely at this moment, as if he had fallen seriously ill in a short period of time.

"Grandmaster, I'm afraid Weiyang Jun needs to rest. I will take her back to rest first."

Liu Xie picked up Dong Bai and put him directly on the jade carriage that only the emperor could ride on, and walked towards Dong Bai's palace.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo also wanted to chase after him.

However, after taking just two steps, Dong Zhuo seemed to realize something, turned around and kicked Dong Min, who was squatting on the ground, to the ground.

"Is this the Son of Heaven you mentioned who stripped you of your title?"

"Is this what you call the hypocritical emperor?"

"Is this the emperor you said wanted to poison Lord Weiyang?"

"Bastard!"

Dong Zhuo was also there when Liu Xie was making ice with xiaoshi. He knew that Dong Bai had also asked Liu Xie for some xiaoshi at that time, and it was not an intentional plot by the emperor.

Besides, the emperor’s eagerness when he rescued Dong Bai just now could not be faked!

When the emperor was leaving, he did not shy away from any taboos and let Dong Bai ride on the jade carriage that only the emperor was qualified to ride!

Such an emperor actually had to suffer slander from Dong Min?

Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Min who was lying on the ground, and the more he looked at him, the angrier he became: "Kneel down!"

Dong Min turned over, and before he could react, he was kicked by Dong Zhuo again...

"Shuying, ah Shuying, when did you become like this?"

Dong Zhuo wanted to scold him, but also wanted to rush over to visit Dong Bai. Finally, he said, "From today on, you will reflect on your mistakes in your own house! Since you want to be a general, then you will be a general for the rest of your life!" From childhood to adulthood, when had Dong Min ever been scolded like this by Dong Zhuo?
Especially now that there are two younger generations, Lu Bu and Niu Fu, as well as an outsider, Jia Xu, present, Dong Min feels that he has lost face and has almost no desire to live!

Dong Min's resentment was not without reason.

What happened in the palace today spread throughout Guanzhong at an extremely fast speed. Especially when it reached the ears of other senior generals in the Xiliang Army, it made them a laughing stock.

……

Hedong.

When Li Jue and Guo Si, who stayed behind to guard the place, heard about this, they both laughed in the military tent.

"It's a pity that the Grand Master was so wise all his life, but he had such a brother. It's really sad."

Both of them were veteran generals who came from Liang Province and fought with Dong Zhuo all the way.

They know best what kind of person Dong Min is.

"It's not just Dong Min. Apart from the Grand Master, is there anyone else in the Dong family who can be used?"

"Among the Grand Master's relatives, only his adopted son Lu Bu and his son-in-law Niu Fu are worth using. The others are nothing more than pigs and dogs!"

Most people from Xiliang have heroic characters, and since the two of them are military generals, they naturally speak without restraint.

"But Lu Bu is from Bingzhou after all, and we Liangzhou people can't pee in the same pot! Niu Fu is not a man of strong ambition. If things go well, he can naturally become a pillar of the society. But if things go badly, I'm afraid he will become a different person."

The two of them were silent when they talked about this.

Originally there was a pillar in the Xiliang army, and that was Hu Zhen.

But now Hu Zhen died inexplicably on the battlefield, which resulted in the Xiliang army suddenly losing one of their strongholds, making these Xiliang army leaders feel vaguely insecure.

"There is no one to succeed the Grand Master!"

Guo Si sighed quietly.

Dong Zhuo's son died young, his younger brother was a fool, and his son-in-law also had his own flaws, which undoubtedly made Guo Si uncertain about the future.

"It's not like there's no one to take over."

Li Jue's leisurely words caused Guo Si to look at him sideways.

"Could there be some young talent in the Taishi clan that I don't know about?"

“Not a member of the Dong clan.”

"Not a member of the Dong clan? Then what kind of successor is that?"

Li Jue threw the document in his hand to Guo Si.

"Have you seen this system of government soldiers?"

"I've seen it. Rewarding soldiers with land, letting them cultivate it in their spare time and serve in the army in times of war, is indeed a good idea!"

Guo Si was obviously in a good mood when he mentioned this matter!

"Recently, a few captains with sharp ears can't wait any longer. They come to me every day to ask if I want to give them land and how much land I can give them... It's obvious that this decree has touched their hearts. They are so anxious that they are scratching their heads!"

Generals of the level of Li Jue and Guo Si were closer to the grassroots soldiers than Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, they can often feel the soldiers' mood first.

Now the army's morale is boiling, it is obvious that this reward really hits their spot and is exactly what they want!
Li Jue asked again: "Do you think such an official document could have been thought up by the Grand Tutor?"

……

In accordance with Liu Xie's request, the equal distribution of land and the military system were all attributed to Dong Zhuo.

But the Xiliang generals are not fools.

How long have you all been following Dong Zhuo?
How thick-skinned were Dong Zhuo? How could they not know?

Give some gold and silver, and some women, this is Dong Zhuo's reward.

Simple, direct, large quantity and very filling!
It’s not like this time, where they went through a lot of roundabout ways to distribute land to the soldiers, and then set up so many rules and regulations... Is this something Dong Zhuo could do?

Guo Si didn't think of this.

But after Li Jue's reminder, he instantly realized the blind spot.

"Your consciousness is... this was thought up by someone else!?"

"Definitely is."

Li Jue was extremely confident——

"And it is very likely that he is the emperor personally supported by the Grand Tutor in Weiyang Palace!"

"Emperor?"

Guo Si didn't believe it.

"How old is the emperor? How can he be so capable?"

"No matter how great the emperor is, he is still the emperor!"

Li Jue continued his analysis calmly, "Before the battle in Hedong, the officers you and I sent praised the emperor after returning, saying that although the emperor was young, he was a man who truly understood military affairs... The subsequent defeat of Xu Huang in Guanzhong, the blocking of Ma Teng, and the killing of Han Sui also proved that what the officers you and I sent at the time said was true."

"There have long been rumors that the Grand Master moved into the Weiyang Palace to teach the Emperor the art of war. The Emperor can be considered to have inherited the Grand Master's legacy, so doesn't this mean that the Grand Master has a successor?"

"hiss--"

Guo Si took a breath of cold air.

Don't say it!
Don't tell me!
It seems that this is really the truth!

The Grand Tutor is the teacher of the Emperor!

Since the emperor has learned the Grand Tutor's skills, he can naturally be called the successor of the Grand Tutor!

Moreover, according to the information he had obtained, the current emperor was indeed a brave and resourceful man.

With such disciples as Dong Zhuo, it cannot be said that Dong Zhuo had no successor!

Before, everyone only cared about the relationship between Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo as the monarch and his subject, but no one really thought that there was a master-disciple relationship hidden in it.

But Guo Si still felt something was strange.

"Even if there is someone to succeed the Grand Master...but that is the Emperor! Can you and I still rely on the Emperor in the future?"

"Why not?"

Li Jue asked back:

"Why on earth didn't it work?"
