"If someone he trusted told Liu Hong that the elixir was an elixir, he might take it.

But whether it is you or our family, Liu Hong may not believe it. If he lets someone eat one to try it first, and that person is poisoned to death, he will definitely not eat it again and will arrest us.

Therefore, he had to find someone he could trust to donate the elixir to him.

But, where can I find this person?

Li Ru said with a smile:"Father-in-law, why should you worry?"

Now I'm afraid I already know that my health is deteriorating, and I might run out of energy at some point.

That's why he is so obsessed with becoming an immortal, and wants to live forever with the help of his magic.

The King of Liaodong had already arrived in Luoyang, and Liu Hong could have taken the opportunity to put him under house arrest in Luoyang, but in the end, because the King of Liaodong said that he could help him find the way to become an immortal, Liu Hong actually let the King of Liaodong go.

Liu Hong must have always been wary of King Liaodong, but in order to become an immortal, he did not hesitate to let go of the only person in the world who could threaten his throne.

It can be seen that for Liu Hong, becoming an immortal is greater than all other desires.

Therefore, the son-in-law believed that as long as a Taoist priest held a pill and said that eating it would make him an immortal, and there was only one pill in the world and it would be gone after eating it, then Liu Hong would definitely eat the pill himself. Dong

Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words and finally nodded and said:"Wen You's words are reasonable. If there was only one, Liu Hong would be reluctant to take it out and let others test the poison for him."

But, where are we going to find such a fatal elixir?

Seeing that Dong Zhuo agreed with his idea, Li Ru smiled and said,"My father-in-law, don't worry about this pill."

My son-in-law had seen some Taoist priests selling elixirs along the road a long time ago, and said that these elixirs were elixirs and that if you eat them, you can become an immortal.

Naturally, my son-in-law didn't believe that a single elixir could make people become immortals. If there were such good things in this world, wouldn't these Taoist priests be the ones who created immortals?

If they really took this elixir and could become immortals, they would have already taken it themselves, so how could they possibly sell it?

However, my son-in-law still thought that this elixir might be useful in the future, so he bought a lot from those Taoist priests.

Later, my son-in-law actually found someone to try the elixir. It didn't have any strange taste after eating it, and it wouldn't make people become immortals.

But maybe the Taoist priests put something into it when refining it. Several people who took a lot of elixirs bled to death that night.

Therefore, even if Liu Hong doesn't believe it and finds someone to test the poison, just eating one pill will definitely not kill anyone.

Liu Hong himself was already weak due to excessive indulgence. My son-in-law can guarantee that he will die soon after eating it."

Dong Zhuo couldn't calm down for a long time after listening to Li Ru's words.

Although Dong Zhuo treated everyone very cruelly, and could even be said to be cruel, he never thought about killing the emperor.

After all, the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since Confucius has passed After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and respected Confucianism, it had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even Dong Zhuo did not dare to say it, or even think about regicide himself.

However, once he succeeded, the huge temptation still made him want to know the details of Li Ru What kind of plan is there?

So Dong Zhuo asked:"Wen You, you are right. Emperor Han Ling will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of becoming an immortal and take the initiative to take the elixir. The source of this elixir has also been solved.

So what are your plans after Liu Hong passes away?

Luoyang is heavily guarded. Even if Liu Hong dies, it is impossible for our family to lead troops into Luoyang. This will only make He Jin and others think that our family is going to take the opportunity to rebel, and they may join forces with Zhang Rang to attack our family first.

But if we don't lead troops into Luoyang, and our family goes alone, we won't be able to control the situation at that time. Neither He Jin nor Zhang Rang will let our family control any prince.

Tell me, how can our family lead troops into Luoyang without being targeted by them?

After hearing Dong Zhuo's question, Li Ru smiled confidently and said,"My father-in-law, why should I worry about this matter? My son-in-law has already made a plan."

Today's court seems peaceful, but in fact it has long been divided into two factions, and neither can tolerate the other.

Now that Liu Hong is alive, he can still suppress these two factions.

Once Liu Hong dies suddenly, the two factions will inevitably split instantly, triggering serious conflicts and even fighting each other.

The fundamental reason for the conflict between the two factions is that Liu Hong has never established a prince.

The second prince Xie lost his mother at a young age and was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling. She even treated Liu Bian as her own. The eldest prince Bian was born to Empress He. Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He both wanted their own children. Become a prince.

Therefore, it is impossible to reconcile the conflicts between the two parties.

The backers of Empress Dowager Dong's faction were Zhang Rang and other ten regular attendants. They served at Emperor Ling's side all year round and were deeply trusted by Emperor Ling. They also controlled half of the Yulin Army's military power.

The backer of Queen He's faction is naturally Queen He's brother, General He Jin.

He Jin was the leader of the military attachés in the world. Although he had been in the palace all year round and had never led an army to fight, he still had the city guards to rely on.

Emperor Ling was unfavorable to the crown prince, so Empress Dowager Dong and Shi Changshi wanted to make Liu Xie the young emperor to ensure that they would still have their current transcendent status in the palace after Liu Hong's death.

Empress Dowager He and He Jin wanted to make Liu Bian the Young Emperor, so that the Han family would have the final say in the world of their He family.

Therefore, both parties will inevitably want to establish a new emperor according to their own ideas at all costs.

However, perhaps Liu Hong had known about the contradiction between the two sides for a long time, and in order to prevent any one family from becoming dominant, he had been strictly controlling their military strength.

Nowadays, the forces in the hands of both sides are roughly equal, and the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Army and the City Guards is also about the same. Naturally, neither one can completely suppress the other.

As a result, if they want to defeat each other, they must find ways to find foreign aid to help them.

In this world, the only prince in the world who has the strength to become a qualified foreign aid and is relatively close to Luoyang is you, my father-in-law.

Therefore, no matter who wants to recruit foreign aid, they will definitely come to you, father-in-law.

You will agree to whoever finds you first.

But we must deliberately delay the time of entering Luoyang, so that they can kill each other first. When both sides have lost most of their casualties and no one is our opponent, we will then enter Luoyang and eliminate them in one fell swoop.

At that time, the world will fall under the control of my father-in-law."

Dong Zhuo was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time after hearing Li Ru's complete plan.

However, he thought for a long time and still said:"As the saying goes, the bold will starve to death and the timid will starve. Our family would rather die of starvation than starve to death. Just follow the rule. Wenyou's plan came true."
