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

Luoyang.

The palace hall.

The emperor sat upright and accepted the worship of his ministers.

Everyone finished the ceremony.

Liu Xie looked at everyone and said slowly: "During this spring hunt, I was chased by bandits. Fortunately, my ancestors protected me and my uncle protected me, so I escaped this disaster. Now I want to appoint my uncle as the left general and the marquis of Yangchengting. What do you think?"

Wang Yun was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty is wise, and Uncle Liu has done a great service in saving the emperor, so he deserves this honor."

Several people chimed in: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is holy."

Dong Zhuo had an unfathomable smile on his face as he looked at Liu Yu who was standing below him.

Although General Zuo holds a high position, he has no soldiers or generals under his command, so it is ultimately a nominal position.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about this. He just remembered that Li Ru once reminded him that this person should not be underestimated and should be guarded against carefully.

Since Wenyou values ​​him so much, let us give him a try later.

Liu Xie looked around and saw that everyone agreed with him except Dong Zhuo, and he felt uneasy.

Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, looked at Dong Zhuo and asked, "Prime Minister, I wanted to reward my uncle before, but you said that I would reward him after he made contributions to the country. Now that my uncle has saved me from danger, what do you think of rewarding him now?"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your uncle has saved your Majesty and performed a great deed. It is appropriate to reward him now."

Liu Xie was delighted when he heard Dong Zhuo's words and quickly ordered someone to issue an order.

After Liu Xie conferred titles and rewards on Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo took out a list from his bosom and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Imperial Uncle, there are also a number of loyal officials who have made great contributions to Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to reward them together."

Liu Yu knew that these people were Dong Zhuo's confidants without even looking at the list.

Now that Dong Zhuo controls the government, he has the final say on all matters, big or small. The so-called reporting to the emperor is just a formality.

Everyone knew it, and no one raised any objection.

After the court meeting was over, everyone was about to leave when Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Please go, gentlemen. It's been a long time since I had a feast with you. I would like to take advantage of today to invite you to my house for a gathering."

Liu Yu looked at Dong Zhuo's harmless smile and thought to himself, "Since ancient times, there has never been a good meeting or a good banquet. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo's proposal for a banquet at this time is not a good idea."

These ministers were all old foxes who had experienced the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally saw things more clearly than Liu Yu.

Several people immediately declined.

Some said they were ill;

Some said their family members were sick;

In order to verify the authenticity of what they said, some people touched their chests, coughed, and gasped for breath.

Some people burst into tears, as if they had lost their parents.

In short, everyone tried their best to avoid the banquet.

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched all the old ministers in the court transformed into performing artists.

Life is really not easy, it all depends on acting!

Dong Zhuo looked indifferent. He watched everyone stop their actions and then said coldly, "Since you are ill, we will not force you. Come, call the imperial physician to treat you."

When the people who were pretending to be sick heard these words, they suddenly became full of energy from their frail appearance.

"The Prime Minister has invited us, and even though we are ill, we dare not refuse to go."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "If that's the case, then please come in."

After saying this, he walked ahead and headed towards the prime minister's residence.

Everyone had no choice but to follow closely.

Liu Yu looked at the officials behind him, most of whom were old officials he had met at Wang Yun's mansion last time. He was even more shocked.

Why did Dong Zhuo ask everyone to come here?

It couldn't be that the assassination incident made him so angry that he wanted to kill these people to vent his anger.

While he was thinking secretly, everyone had already arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.

This was Liu Yu's second visit here. The first time was to compete in poetry with Cai Yong.

The last time Lu Bu came to greet us, the atmosphere was not warm but still calm.

This time, the atmosphere was depressing, making him feel depressed.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that the table was empty and there was no food or wine. They had no idea what Dong Zhuo was up to.

Dong Zhuo saw everyone sitting down, and smiled slightly, saying: "Gentlemen, you are all old officials of the court. I am really happy that you can come to my house today. How can I not bring out the best wine and food to entertain you."

"Come here, bring him up."

After a while, more than a dozen men came in from outside the door.

A man with a thin face and a long gown walked towards the door. It was Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe.

"According to the order of the Prime Minister, we have found out that there are 19 more people involved in the assassination. They have all been brought in. Please let the Prime Minister handle it."

Dong Zhuo had a big smile on his face.

"There is no point in keeping a traitor. Kill him."

"only."

Outside the door, soldiers had already bowed and received orders. After a while, more than a dozen men were beheaded.

Liu Yu almost fainted when he saw this bloody scene.

More than a dozen living men turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye. How could he, a modern man, accept this?

He tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, and saw someone bringing up drinks and plates.

The bright red blood in the wine vessel was steaming and still warm.

The fresh meat on the plate had been cut into several small pieces, all blood red.

When Liu Yu saw this scene, he immediately did not understand Dong Zhuo's intention. He wanted to shock everyone by making them eat human flesh and drink human blood.

I watched the blood slowly flow down the wine utensils, onto the table, and then fall to the ground along the low table, making a few dripping sounds.

Like raindrops falling on stone slabs, making a few ticking sounds.

These slight sounds, in Liu Yu's mind, were like huge thorns piercing his heart.

An inexplicable pain appeared in his heart, instantly taking over Liu Yu's body.

Everyone's faces were pale and some were about to vomit.

Wang Yun could not help but bow and ask, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

Dong Zhuo smiled. He picked up a piece of meat in front of him, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. With a smile on his face, he seemed not to be eating human flesh, but the most delicious food in the world.

"My lord, we are all loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty. The flesh and blood of these treacherous officials and villains is just right for drinking. Isn't it a delicacy?"

Wang Yun wanted to say more, but Dong Zhuo waved his hand, signaling Wang Yun not to say anything more.

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "If you are unwilling to eat the flesh and drink the blood of traitors, are you connected with these people?"

Wang Yun replied, "Prime Minister, your words are too serious. We are all loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty. How can we have any connection with the traitors?"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat with his withered hands, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Wang Yun almost vomited it out, but he didn't dare to do so and could only endure it.

After eating a piece of meat, Wang Yun's face was calm, but his heart was already full of holes.

The hatred in his heart.

He hated himself for being incompetent and unable to kill the traitor;

He hated himself for trusting Yuan Shao and putting the emperor in danger;

He hated himself even more for being afraid of death and eating the flesh of his loyal ministers.

Dong Zhuo felt somewhat proud. He turned to look at Liu Yu, only to see him sitting at the desk, motionless.

Dong Zhuo had a playful smile on his face.

"Why doesn't the emperor eat?"

Liu Yu looked at the smile on Dong Zhuo's face just like the wolf grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood.
