Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Looking at Dong Zhuo's smug expression, Li Ru was worried.

He sighed slightly and said, "Prime Minister, every word of Confucianism comes from the heart and must not be taken lightly."

Dong Zhuo said with a smile, "Wenyou, how could we not know what you are thinking? You don't have to support Liu Yu's prestige and destroy our ambitions. Even if he has some talent, Wenyou can still see through it at a glance. In this world, who else can be smarter than you, Wenyou?"

"After Fengxian finds the emperor, we return to Luoyang and follow Wenyou's advice to send someone to monitor Liu Yu."

Li Ru observed Dong Zhuo's expression and knew that although he accepted his suggestion to monitor Liu Yu, the contempt in his eyes was also very obvious.

In Li Ru's mind, although Liu Yu needed to be monitored, he wanted Dong Zhuo to put away his arrogance and aim to rule the world, so that he could truly be invincible.

Li Ru wanted to discuss the details with Dong Zhuo, but at this moment a man with a pale face and a beard came out from outside the tent. It was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.

With a look of joy on his face, Jia Xu entered the tent and bowed to Dong Zhuo.

"Report to the Prime Minister, several Tiger Guards have arrived from Luoyang, saying that they are carrying out the order from His Majesty to summon the Prime Minister back to the capital."

His Majesty's order. Dong Zhuo's smiling face froze. He couldn't believe it. He had just sent Lu Bu to look for His Majesty, and His Majesty had already returned to the palace.

"Wenhe, when did His Majesty return to the palace? Was he injured?"

Jia Xu replied, "Your Majesty has arrived at the Imperial City at noon today. According to the Tiger Guards, Your Majesty is not injured, but has been in the mountains and forests for several days, sleeping in the open air, and Your Majesty is a little unwell."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Dong Zhuo was surprised.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Xu has already asked about it in detail. Your Majesty has a slight cold, but it's nothing serious. The imperial physician has examined him and prescribed some medicine. Your Majesty is now sleeping soundly."

"Okay, okay." Dong's smile grew wider. He stood up and took two steps forward. "We will gather the troops and move back to the capital."

After saying this, Dong Zhuo walked out of the tent and began to make arrangements for returning to the capital.

Dong Zhuo had left, and only Jia Xu and Li Ru were left in the tent.

Seeing Li Ru's worried look, Jia Xu was puzzled. He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, it is a happy thing that His Majesty is fine. Why do you look so worried?"

Li Ru sighed, "Your Majesty is safe and sound, I am naturally happy, but Wenhe, do you know why Your Majesty is safe and sound?"

Jia Xu said: "I have already asked, Your Majesty was saved by Liu Yu?"

Li Ru continued: "Wenhe, do you know how he saved His Majesty when there were pursuers behind him and a cliff in front of him?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "As for the method, the soldiers don't know. They can only find out after returning to the capital."

Li Ru sighed softly, then told Jia Xu in detail about the situation in which Lu Bu was brought back and his own deductions.

When Jia Xu heard this, his expression remained unchanged.

Li Ru asked, "Wenhe, are you not surprised at all?"

Jia Xu said, "To be honest with you, Lord Li, I never thought that Liu Yu would use this method to rescue Your Majesty. I have told Lord Li before that Liu Yu is wise and decisive, and I am afraid he is not an ordinary person."

Li Ru sighed, "When Wenhe told Ru about this, Ru thought Wenhe was exaggerating. Only now do I know that Wenhe has a good eye for people, while Ru is not as good as Wenhe."

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Mr. Li is a man of many plans and decisions, and he is the most powerful assistant under the Prime Minister. Why do you say that?"

Li Ru asked again: "Wenhe, how do you think we should deal with this person?"

Jia Xu smiled sinisterly, with a hint of coldness in his smile.

"This man must not be allowed to stay. Xu thinks that after returning to the capital, he should be executed directly for the crime of kidnapping the emperor. Only in this way can we eliminate the trouble forever."

Jia Xu lived up to his reputation as a vicious man. He wanted to kill Liu Yu with one move.

Li Ru asked, "Wenhe, killing people directly is probably inappropriate. Liu Yu just rescued the emperor, and if we kill him, will it cause unrest? Since this man is such a hero, is there any way to make him work for the prime minister?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "I think this man is young but ambitious. He will definitely not be used by the prime minister. As for whether he can cause unrest, I think Luoyang is as solid as a rock. Who can cause unrest?"

“Those princes and ministers have no weapons, and even if they are dissatisfied with the prime minister, they are just like rats hiding in the gutter, not daring to show it.

"The only thing we are worried about now is the former students and officials of the Yuan family who are serving in the army. We have already investigated these people. After a few days, we will be able to distinguish the loyal and the treacherous. By then, Luoyang City will no longer have any loopholes."

When Li Ru heard what Jia Xu said, he secretly calculated the pros and cons in his mind.

Saying that the emperor was held hostage by Liu Yu would definitely arouse doubts.

In this assassination incident, it was no longer a secret that Liu Yu rescued the emperor.

If he forcibly kills Liu Yu after returning to the capital, it will definitely cause turmoil, but the consequences of this turmoil will be limited.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Lord Li loves talents, so he is reluctant to kill this man?"

Li Ru said: "If this person cannot be used by the Prime Minister, the more talented he is, the more trouble he will cause. After returning to the capital, I will test this person. If this person is really not useful to the Prime Minister, I will advise the Prime Minister to kill this person."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I admire Li Gongming's judgment very much, but I am a little worried that the Prime Minister will not take this man seriously and let him escape this disaster."

Li Ru said: "Wenhe also saw the intention of the prime minister."

Jia Xu spoke frankly.

"After the Prime Minister entered Luoyang, he was blinded by the prosperity and lost his vigilance. Xu was worried that Lord Li's persuasion of Liu Yu as a hero would backfire. In the eyes of the Prime Minister, who else can be called a hero except himself?"

Li Ru was silent. It was obvious that Jia Xu's words directly revealed Dong Zhuo's current situation.

"Wenhe has a keen eye. Ru is more worried about the Prime Minister than Liu Yu. If the Prime Minister cannot be himself again, I am afraid that the great things we have painstakingly planned will not last long."

Li Ru's eyes were filled with worry. He looked at Jia Xu and continued, "Wenhe, do you have any good ideas to alert the Prime Minister?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Mr. Li, please forgive me for being frank. Once people have reached this point, if we want to give advice and persuade the prime minister to return, it will probably be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

After a slight pause, Jia Xu continued, "If you want the Prime Minister to be himself again, I'm afraid there is only one way, and that is failure."

"Failure?" Li Ru heard the word and paused for a moment, then understood its meaning. "Wen He is right. This is the only way to do it. Not only will we fail, but we will also fail miserably."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you used Luoyang as a chessboard to help the prime minister take over Luoyang. Now you want to use the world as a chessboard to let the prime minister be himself and seize the world."

Li Ru's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Back then, I was able to use Luoyang as a chess piece to help the prime minister secure his position in Luoyang. Now, I want to use the world as a chess piece and invite the prime minister to join the game.
