Chapter 37
Today, Dong Zhuo can be said to be the most important official in the court, with many soldiers and brave generals. The brave and good at fighting Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also his greatest capital. Although one person is more than ten thousand people holding the little emperor to command the court, his official position is even more intriguing, and it is obvious that his status does not match his official position.
As the saying goes, a senior official is the first rank, and he is a former general. Although he is now a former general, there are all those in the entire court who are older than him. In Dong Zhuo's opinion, who can compete with him in the entire court and who can match his identity?
Dong Zhuo is very capable, and he must do the best if he wants to do it. Although the little emperor has not been replaced yet, he wants to be the monarch's housekeeper and agent~ Prime Minister...
What is a "prime state"? If you take care of a country and inspect a country, you are the monarch's steward and agent, and the true commander of all officials.
The word "正" means "assistance". The so-called "prime minister" originally means "assistance prime minister", so at the beginning, the prime minister was the assistant of the prime minister, the prime minister was the prime minister, the prime minister was the prime minister, the prime minister was the vice prime minister, the prime minister was the vice prime minister.
The first prime minister of the Han Dynasty was Han Xin, and then Cao Shen served as prime minister for the first time, Fu Kuan and Xiao He served as prime minister for the first time, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and Xiao He served as prime minister for the first time, and Cao Shen succeeded him. After Cao Shen served as prime minister for the second time, Cao Shen did not have a prime minister for the time being. After Lu Zhi's death, his nephew Lu Chan served as prime minister. After Lu Chan, no one held the position of prime minister until the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo was extremely good at competing with Han Xin and Cao Shen, and even better than them.
Xiliang Military Camp...
"You are so literary! Now I have heavy troops in my hands to control the court, and no one dares to compete with me, but now my official position..." Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru thoughtfully and said that although he was a father-in-law and son-in-law, Dong Zhuo still used his name to call his confidant adviser. This is a kind of respect for his beloved adviser, and Li Ru was his right-hand man.
Li Ru, who knows Dong Zhuo's heart, had not yet been fully explained. Li Ru, as a confidant, smiled slightly. He had already guessed all his little thoughts about his great commander. Now he only needs to use his own mouth to say it out. Those in power are like this. They don't want to clearly state what they think. They have their own opinions, but they still have to go and dissuade their subordinates in person. In this way, the credit is their own. Once there is a mistake, they can cause big trouble, and the subordinates can take the blame, so as to clearly define the relationship. The skills of power and strategy are the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the general is full of desire to serve the country. In addition, he has 200,000 troops from Xiliang in his hand. Zifan has been expelled from the country and will definitely not be able to return in the near future. As for Ding Yuan, although he also brought troops to Luoyang this time, this person is a brave but unscheming person. It is not worth worrying. He can't cause any big waves. The commander can rest assured."
"As for those ministers in the court, they just dare not speak out. As long as the commander takes out the sword in his hand, the officials in the court will have already gone wild."

The next morning
As early as three o'clock in the morning, the ministers gathered outside the palace gate. Until about five o'clock in the morning, the ministers reorganized their official uniforms and started going to court.
The little emperor was also very energetic today. His bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of dragons in the sea. Under the surging golden waves at the corners of the robe, his sleeves were carried high by the wind. Today is the first time he listened to the morning court. Even if he couldn't understand, he had to pretend to show his majesty.
Of course, the little emperor had to give him enough face when he went to the morning court. The ministers below were also dressed neatly, and more court ministers burst into tears when they saw the little emperor's appearance.
With the little eunuch's harsh scream, the morning court officially began...
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"All my beloved ministers are calm... I have a memorial to report, but I have no memorial to retreat to the court."
I have to say that the little emperor put on a dragon robe and sat on the throne, pretending to behave like a real emperor.
"Your Majesty, how can you miss it?" A deafening voice resounded over the palace. Dong Zhuo was wearing heavy armor and walked into the court with a sword in his right hand. Everyone in the court lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
Dong Zhuo was not stingy and strided to the throne. His sharp eyes pierced the young emperor's heart in one second, and the little emperor broke his skills in one second.
"Mr. Dong, why did you come to the morning court today? It's so elegant...! Today... Today... I am afraid that I will disturb my rehabilitation, so I didn't visit Master Dong. I hope Master Dong won't be surprised." The little emperor was about to walk down from the emperor's throne and go to help Dong Zhuo. Instead, Dong Zhuo smiled thorns, raised his arm and slapped the emperor's shoulder heavily, which scared the little emperor even more.
Everyone in the audience dared not speak out, and looked at Dong Zhuo with cold eyes. If his eyes could kill people, I don’t know how many times Dong Zhuo had died. Dong Zhuo walked up to the temple with such a big fanfare, it was nothing more than redistribution of power from the court. I don’t know how ambitious the governor of Xiliang had and what he wanted to get this time.
"I have a word and listen quietly..." Dong Zhuo turned his head down, and a cold gaze shot out from his slightly opened eyes and approached everyone below the stage. His eyes as sharp as a blade were constantly patrolling back and forth, which made everyone below the stage unable to breathe.
"This consolidates the safety of the court and deters all corners of the Han Dynasty, so that the rebels dare not act rashly, rectify the court's principles, and assist the young emperor in ascending the throne, which can make great efforts."
The ministers in the court dared not speak out, but they were full of contempt for Dong Zhuo. Everyone in the world knew that the biggest rebel is you, Dong Zhuo. The thief called to catch the thief, and it was true that there was a trick.
"This is a meritorious, we are discussing other things..." I wonder what official should I give me to. Dong Zhuo's red eyes stared straight at him, his veins swelled up, and the muscles on his face trembled.
"My Lord Dong is just my contribution. I don't know if the title of Prime Minister is still satisfied..." The little emperor looked at Dong Zhuo's expression tremblingly.
"Okay...Okay...! I didn't expect that Your Majesty loves you so much..." It's better to obey your orders than respect, and you won't go to Your Majesty in the future.
Also on the wide grassland, Zifan also received the same imperial edict, promoted Zifan to the prefect of Youzhou, and immediately went to Youzhou to defend. Although the little emperor and the ministers in the court had long forgotten Zifan's contribution, Princess Taiping did not forget this real hero in the court. I am afraid that in this world, only Zifan could make Dong Zhuo afraid.
Zifan smiled and patted the dust on his body. In this dark court, there were still people who were so concerned about him, and he could still think that his goodness was not a good thing.
