Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

The little emperor still had some thoughts about Li Yi, but when he saw Li Yi weeping for him, his nose felt sour, and he looked like he was about to cry.

"Your Majesty, the minister deliberately opened up his joints, avoided Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears, and came quietly to meet His Majesty."

"I was originally a Han citizen who ate Han rice. Now I am a Han official who eats Han Lu. Even if the rivers are dried up and the mountains and rocks are eroded, I will never waver in my utter loyalty to Your Majesty!"

"It's just that Dong Zhuo's old thief is very powerful, and his party feathers are all over the court and the public. This minister has no choice but to endure the humiliation, serve the thief with his body, flatter him, and gain the trust of the old thief first, so that he can protect His Majesty and save our country from danger. middle!"

When the little emperor heard these words, his heart was really agitated. He knew very well that if he wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, all the courtiers in the court might not be as effective as Li Yi alone, otherwise he wouldn't have done it because of Dong Zhuo. Li Yi's words at the gate of the city have been thinking about that long time.

However, the emperor has always been suspicious. Even though the little emperor was still young, he was no exception. Although he was very moved by Li Yi's confession, he was still a little worried. too big.

Seeing the hesitation in the little emperor's eyes, although Li Yi was not sure what the little emperor was thinking, he still carefully took out two pieces of cloth from his bosom, put them to the little emperor's side with both hands, and said softly: "Please look, your majesty, I am absolutely loyal to your majesty." dedicated!"

The little emperor took it, unfolded it by the dim candlelight, and when he saw it, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in surprise, "Your name is not Li Bai, but Li Yi?"

"I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me. I didn't intend to deceive Your Majesty. It was really a last resort."

Li Yi hurriedly leaned back, lowered his posture, and said: "At first, I was just a commoner. I learned that Dong Zhuo was in trouble, and I didn't have a king. I was so angry that I couldn't calm down, so I killed that little Hua Xiong in front of the two armies. He is a thief, but the subject Shan Ligu wants to kill the old thief again, but he is powerless, so he has to hide his name and plan slowly."

"Loyal minister, I read correctly, Ai Qing is indeed my loyal minister!"

The little emperor was very excited, wiped his nose, and continued to look at the two pieces of cloth, which were the "Certificate of Loyalty" written by Yuan Shao and Yuan Wei for Li Yi.

Not to mention Yuan Shao, Yuan Kai was beheaded by Dong Zhuo. In the eyes of the little emperor, the minister who died for him was absolutely 100% loyal. With Yuan Kai's letter as proof, the little emperor believed it completely. Li Yi's identity was revealed.

The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "Since Aiqing is loyal to me, why did you help that old traitor Dong Zhuo become king, but you don't know that this is a way to bring disaster? I really don't understand."

Li Yi said in a deep voice: "If you want to let him perish, let him be crazy first. Although the old thief was rampant before, he was also cautious. After thinking about it, the only way is to let him be the king, let him be satisfied, and let him be right. The minister firmly believes that this is the only way to kill the old thief with the force of a thunderbolt!"

The little emperor was actually just asking, but when he heard Li Yi say that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, he was shocked and said, "Ai Qing wants to kill Dong Zhuo?"

"Of course, how can we save His Majesty if we don't kill Dong Zhuo? I have already arranged the manpower, and now everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng, and when the time is right, I will order that old thief to execute me!"

What Li Yi said was very passionate, but what surprised him was that the little emperor's face turned pale after hearing this, and he even began to tremble slightly.

Li Yi was startled, shouldn't the little emperor be very excited now, and then praise him greatly?

The reaction now is different from what he thought!

The little emperor looked at Li Yi fixedly, his eyes were struggling and worried, his face was full of embarrassment, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Li Yi thought about it for a while, and then he understood in his heart that the little emperor was afraid, worried that he would fail to kill Dong Zhuo, and then Dong Zhuo would turn to him to settle the score in a rage.

Li Yi also understood the little emperor's mentality, and thinking about the little emperor's performance with Cao Cao later, there was indeed a shadow of this kind of character.

But in a blink of an eye, Li Yi became happy. The more afraid the little emperor was, the more beneficial he was.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have secretly contacted and recruited several loyal ministers and righteous men, and I am fully [-]% sure that the old thief Dong Zhuo will die without a burial place!"

Li Yi was very motivated, but the little emperor was stunned, his jaw almost dropped, and he said in surprise, "Only [-]% sure?"

Li Yi said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The city of Chang'an is full of the minions of the old thief Dong Zhuo. It is not easy to be [-]% sure."

The little emperor asked almost in tears: "How can we do things with a [-]% certainty? Can't there be a little more?"

Li Yi sighed lightly, and said: "If you give the minister years, killing Dong Zhuo is easy, but the minister will inevitably reveal his identity, and it doesn't take three years, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will no longer be willing to be a king."

The little emperor's expression froze, and these words directly hit him at the Achilles heel.

The little emperor was very entangled, his fists were clenched tightly, he was [-]% sure, this taught him how to have the courage to take risks, but if he continued to wait, it seemed that he was doomed to die.

Li Yi saw that he was almost threatening, so he said in a low voice: "It's not impossible to be more sure, but that requires His Majesty's help."

"What do you want me to do?"

Although the little emperor was very worried that Li Yi's failure would implicate him, but he also knew that it was not easy to fight with [-]% chance in the current situation.

Moreover, if Li Yi is missed, will anyone help him kill Dong Zhuo?

Look at those guys in the court who can only express their loyalty with their mouths. When I asked them for advice, they all cried or faltered.

Li Yi said softly: "I persuaded you in the name of righteousness, and lured those loyal ministers and righteous men to shed their blood for His Majesty. However, although Dong Zhuo was rebellious and perverted, he was quite friendly to his subordinates."

The little emperor nodded, he knew this very well, and Li Yi in front of him was the best proof.

"So, just in case, in order to make those people serve His Majesty with all their heart, I take the liberty to ask for an imperial decree, and I hope His Majesty will reward you in advance, so as to calm people's hearts, so that it is really foolproof."

The little emperor was originally worried that Li Yi would let him take the lead in the charge, but when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's it, it's easy to say, Ai Qing, tell me who those loyal ministers and righteous men are."

Li Yi bowed and said: "The minister is here to thank His Majesty for his kindness on their behalf."

Xie Guixie, Li Yi wanted benefits but was not polite at all, and said bluntly: "The key two are Xu Huang and Zhang Liao who were generous and glorious in the martial arts competition in front of the palace that day."

The little emperor's eyes lit up, even though he didn't understand martial arts, he knew that these two people were really powerful, and he praised: "With such fierce fighters, why worry that Dong thief can't be eliminated!"

Li Yi smiled slightly, and said: "After I explained the righteousness to them, these two people have no hesitation in wanting to fight the old thief forever. Even if there is no reward, it is okay, but"

Before Li Yi could finish speaking, the little emperor said decisively: "I am the Son of Heaven, and I should be rewarded and punished clearly. Such a loyal minister must be rewarded. Wu Aiqing sees how to confer the two of them and what official positions are appropriate?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "Both of these two were born in the army. Although they have unstoppable courage, they are not good at governing the people. Moreover, there are mixed dragons and snakes in the city of Chang'an. Even if they get high positions in the army, they can control soldiers. If it is limited, it will be hated by others instead, so it is better for His Majesty to promise two Tinghou, so that Xu Huang and Zhang Liao will be grateful for His Majesty's grace, and there will be no reward for death!"

"good!"

The little emperor was straightforward, and he agreed directly, took a pen and ink from the side of the bed, and immediately began to write. Li Yi watched from the side, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Zhang Liao is now in charge of the Forbidden Palace. Guards, there are many opportunities to meet His Majesty, but Your Majesty must not take the initiative to contact them, otherwise Dong Zhuo will be furious if his feet are exposed, and the life and death of my ministers will be small at that time, so I am afraid that it will bring disaster to Your Majesty."

"Don't worry, love, I know."

The little emperor wrote very quickly, and it was finished immediately, but he hesitated when he needed to print it, took a private seal, and printed it below.

Li Yi was secretly happy. The little emperor was probably quite depressed when he lost the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and the imperial decree under this kind of private seal, if you have to argue from the legal point of view, it can be said that it cannot be counted, but the world is in chaos. Now, who cares about that much?

Accepting the "imperial decree" respectfully, Li Yi felt that he was a bit too bad, and now he was completely selling the little emperor's things to himself, and Li Yi also persuaded the little emperor not to promote those two people, because the following If the people promoted too quickly, he worried that it would be difficult to lead the team.

However, without being promoted, he was awarded Marquis. In fact, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao are still honored. Officials are good, but titles are rare. If the little emperor is not in danger now, a Marquis of Ting would have to fight many times on the battlefield to earn enough merits .

Moreover, the marquis promised by the little emperor himself has an extraordinary meaning. I didn't see the arrogance of the second brother Yiguan, who always regarded the "Marquis of Hanshouting" as a treasure. High title.

Putting the imperial decree close to him, Li Yi said again: "These two people are sincerely serving His Majesty to death, and they are both court marquises enough, but others, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

The little emperor nodded solemnly and asked, "Who else?"

"Lu Bu!"

As soon as Li Yi mentioned Lu Bu's name, the little emperor paused for breath. When Lu Bu served as Dong Zhuo's bodyguard earlier, the little emperor was often frightened by him. It's not that Lu Bu deliberately targeted the little emperor. He is really the number one fighter in the world. His aura is too strong, it is inevitable to leak sideways.

After a brief shock, the little emperor became excited again, and said excitedly, "Does Aiqing mean that Lu Bu is also willing to serve me?"

Although Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were brave, but compared with Lu Bu, they were obviously far behind. If Lu Bu also fell to him, the little emperor felt that he would surely win.
