"What…what does Lord Prime Minister want?”
Ma Richan stood up and asked Dong Zhuozhi.
However, his tone did not sound so unyielding. Instead, it was filled with fear.
Dong Zhuo had already formed a bone-deep fear for the officials of the Han Dynasty.
After all, there were only a few old foxes like Wang Yun who had disguised themselves to the extreme.
The rest of the old Han officials like Ma Richan, Yang Biao, and Shi Sunrui were more afraid of Dong Zhuo than disgusted with him.
"Lord Taichang, Lord Prime Minister is only showing off his merits for the soldiers. Otherwise, what other bad thoughts could he have?”
Dong Zhuo didn't speak. The person who spoke for him was Li Ru.
Hearing Li Ru's words, Ma Richan was terrified.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers should be rewarded for their contributions, right?”
Dong Zhuo stared at Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon throne.
The latter had already fallen into an idiot state. No matter what Dong Zhuo said, his brain could not react in time.
Under the hints of the Han court officials, Liu Xie came back to his senses and hurriedly replied,
"Lord Prime Minister is right."
"The soldiers have contributed to the country and should be rewarded heavily.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo's trusted aides all puffed out their chests.
When Dong Zhuo first entered the capital, he didn't promote his trusted subordinates like a rocket.
As a result, in Dong Zhuo's army, only Li Ru was considered an important official.
The rest didn't even have a single one of the three dukes, nine ministers, or a general.
However, things were different now.
Dong Zhuo represented the orthodox court of the Han Dynasty and defeated the Guandong Coalition Army, which represented the rebel forces.
With such great merit, what was wrong with giving the soldiers a promotion?
However, as the saying goes.
If someone went up, someone would definitely fall.
To the officials of the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo's confidant was promoted.
It meant that these old ministers of the Han Dynasty were facing the possibility of being fired at any time.
In an instant.
Everyone felt threatened.
However…
Old Dong was not an unreasonable person.
Old Dong did not replace most of the court officials who were fence-sitters.
The ones who were replaced were those who did not know how to hide their emotions and were hostile to Dong Zhuo.
After that, the so-called "Imperial Court Meeting" ended with Dong Zhuo and his troops in awe.
All the civil and military officials in Dong Zhuo's army were promoted.
Hua Xiong had also been promoted to the position of East Defending General due to his great achievements at Mushui Pass, ranking above Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji.
Gu Yi did not want to be an official, but under Old Dong's persuasion, he eventually accepted the position of Luoyang Magistrate.
This position was equivalent to the head of the capital city.
He was not an important official in the court, but he definitely had a lot of say in the court.
However…
After learning that Gu Yi had been promoted to the Luoyang City Magistrate.
The happiest person was definitely not Gu Yi himself.
It was Wang Yun!
Gu Yi's original position in Wang Yun's eyes was that of a new star in front of Dong Zhuo.
Now, Gu Yi had become a key figure with real power!
The Luoyang order might not be comparable to the important titles and the three dukes and nine ministers in the imperial court.
However, he had a say in the entire Luoyang territory!
They also had jurisdiction over administrative matters.
After the court session in the palace ended.
Wang Yun immediately caught up with Gu Yi at the fastest speed.
"My young friend Gu, I heard that you don't have a place to stay in Luoyang, right?”
" I have a house in the east of the city, and I've always arranged for servants to clean it.”
"This old man is too old to personally go to the battlefield and contribute to the country.”
"In the future, I will have to entrust the task of serving the Imperial Court to you youngsters.”
"You can stay in this house as long as you want.”
Wang Yun knew that Gu Yi was different from the other Dong Zhuojun.
Those guys were mostly over thirty years old.
Gu Yi, on the other hand, was not even twenty years old.
If Wang Yun didn't seize the time to rope him in at this time...
The rest of them, such as Yang Biao and Shi Sunrui, would not miss the opportunity to win Gu Yi over.
After all.
Gu Yi had joined Dong Zhuojun halfway through.
It can't be called loyalty.
If he could win over such a talented person, it would definitely be a matter of more harm than good.
To Wang Yun, Gu Yi was even more important!
Although Wang Yun pretended to be Dong Zhuo's loyal bootlicker on the surface, he was still very loyal.
But in reality?
In the entire Luoyang City, the person who wanted Dong Zhuo dead the most would definitely be Wang Yun!
However…
Wang Yun's wishful thinking had failed.
Gu Yi smiled and said,
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Situ."
"But the Prime Minister has already arranged a place for me.”
"I'll definitely prepare a grand gift and pay a visit to Lord Situ's residence another day.”
When Wang Yun heard that Dong Zhuo had already arranged a place for Gu Yi to stay, he gave up on his original idea.
However, he was sharp enough to notice Gu Yi's words about visiting his residence another day.
"This kid…"
Wang Yun narrowed his eyes.
His instincts told him that Gu Yi was hinting at something.
Young people were the most hot-blooded.
Wang Yun sized Gu Yi up.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that if a certain plan in his heart was taken out and executed, the success rate would be very high.
"It seems that I have to let Diao Chan make use of the time to prepare when I return.”
She watched Gu Yi leave.
Wang Yun muttered to himself.
