Three Kingdoms: Father-in-law Lu Bu started by killing Wang Yunman.

Different from the envy of Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others...

After experiencing a brief surprise, Cai Mu only had one feeling at the moment: a showdown!

The second generation official is actually me!

This is a scornful nepotism, if you don't get along with it, if you get along with it... don't mention it, this feeling is weird.

Of course, it's cool.

If he were to be so happy that he lost his mind, he would naively think that Dong Zhuo had no deep meaning in conferring him the title of Lieutenant Commander of the Huns...

Cai Mu himself could not convince himself.

If Dong Zhuo was really such a simple-minded person...

In the current situation in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo would have been devoured by others, and not even his bones and dregs would be left.

Every move made by a hero like Dong Zhuo in troubled times must have a purpose unknown to ordinary people.

A room where thoughts are running at high speed.

Cai Mu was not afraid to speculate on Dong Zhuo with the utmost malice. first.

He thought of a possibility.

Right now.

Dong Zhuo's desire as a drunkard was not in drinking, but in...his father-in-law Lu Bu.

In detail.

Dong Zhuo wanted to use his actions to confer Cai Mu, Lu Bu's son-in-law, the Huns' Zhonglang General, to knock Lu Bu, who was currently the Zhonglang General.

Although Lu Bu chose to turn back at the critical moment of Wang Yun's rebellion plan and reported Wang Yun to Dong Zhuo, saving Dong Zhuo from a disaster. but.

Work is work, and mistakes are mistakes.

There is no doubt about it.

Lu Bu, who was almost tricked by Wang Yun, before he came to his senses without Cai Mu's persuasion, the stupidity he showed... was clearly a huge mistake that he should not have made.

In order to prevent Lu Bu from making this mistake again in the future, Dong Zhuo's behavior of beating Lu Bu became a common thing.

Dong Zhuo had no such intention.

Why did he specially grant Cai Mu the title of Zhonglang General?

After all, Lu Bu's current official position is just that of a lieutenant general!

Weng and his son-in-law are both Zhonglang generals. One is a new recruit and will be rewarded tonight.

One was originally a Zhonglang general and had no reward.

The same is true for reporting Wang Yun's rebellion and rewarding Cai Mu but not Lu Bu...

You taste it, you taste it carefully!

After understanding this.

Cai Mu secretly glanced at his father-in-law Lu Bu's reaction.

When Cai Mu saw the expression on his father-in-law Lu Bu's face that he was extremely happy for receiving the reward for him, he was a little stunned.

Talk.

With his father-in-law's alarming IQ, could he really understand Dong Zhuo's attack?

Could it be that Dong Zhuo wanted to use his own words to let him beat his father-in-law on his behalf?

Except for this reason.

Another reason Cai Mu could think of for Dong Zhuo to confer the title of Lieutenant General of the Huns was that Dong Zhuo really loved his nephew.

The kind without any calculation.

If this is the case, Cai Mu cannot understand it. the reason is simple.

After defeating Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has changed his previous employment policy when he dominated Luoyang.

It was still in Luoyang, before the eighteen princes came together to discuss it...

If Cai Mu was asked to evaluate Dong Zhuo's employment policy, it would be: lower his profile and please the powerful families of Guandong.

At this point, Dong Zhuo's most direct performance has two points.

1. Most of the court officials came from well-established families.

Together with the state pastors from various places who were rewarded by him, such as Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, Tao Qian, the pastor of Xuzhou, etc., they are all this kind of people.

2. In order to win over the members of the aristocratic family, Dong Zhuo even harmed the interests of his own direct lineage.

For example, Dong Zhuo could have placed Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and other Xiliang generals under his command in the court as his wings.

But it turns out.

It doesn't do that.

Instead, they are still fixed in the military system and are not released to compete with those aristocratic families for interests in the court.

This also leads to a situation.

No matter what Dong Zhuo did when he took control of Luoyang, he would be opposed by officials from aristocratic families headed by Yuan Wei.

In this situation.

Let alone Dong Zhuo, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was resurrected, his reputation would not be much better despite the opposition and malicious slander from his officials.

Think of this.

Cai Mu even admired Dong Zhuo.

It was really not easy for Dong Zhuo to tolerate Yuan Shao's rebellion and then cut off Yuan Wei's head.

Completely different from lowering his profile and currying favor with wealthy families, was Dong Zhuo's approach to employment after his defeat in Luoyang and his transfer to Chang'an.

He probably understood that those aristocratic families were just unfed wolf cubs...

So.

Dong Zhuo went to the other extreme.

After the hegemony was thwarted and the mentality began to deteriorate, it was nepotism.

Not only did he give generous rewards to his relatives Dong Min, Dong Huang, his mother Dong Laotai, and his granddaughter Dong Bai.

He would also give whatever he could to the direct generals of the Xiliang Army who had surrendered to him.

Except for some people like Wang Yun who were left to decorate the appearance, the court basically became Dong Zhuo's one-note hall.

This.

This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo has lived in Xiwu for a long time, even if he does not live in Chang'an, there has been no trouble in Chang'an.

Under nepotism.

Dong Zhuo's control over Luoyang Chaotang had increased by more than a hundred times.

Today's Cai Mu can also be said to be a beneficiary of this employment policy.

Suddenly, Cai Mu had a bold idea: if he had the ability to hook up with Dong Bai, maybe his official position would be more than just a lieutenant general.

After some analysis, Cai Mu raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo, who had been waiting for his statement.

"Nephew, thank your uncle for the reward!"

"Please don't worry, uncle……"

"My nephew will not disappoint you!"

"If anyone becomes your uncle's enemy in the future, my nephew will personally lead an army to conquer the country and help you destroy him."
