Chapter 67

Dong Zhuo was not a completely unreasonable person.

He did not replace the majority of the fence-sitting Han court officials.

Those who were replaced were only those who did not know how to hide their emotions and harbored hostility toward Dong Zhuo.

Subsequently, this so-called "Imperial Palace Grand Court Assembly" ended successfully under the intimidation of Dong Zhuo and his army.

All the civil and military officials of Dong Zhuo's army were promoted.

Hua Xiong, because of his great merit at Sishui Pass, was promoted to General Who Pacifies the East, ranking above Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and others.

Gu Yi had not wanted to be an official, but under Dong Zhuo's persuasion, he ultimately accepted the position of Magistrate of Luoyang.

This position was equivalent to the head of the capital city.

It did not count as a high-ranking court official, but it definitely held significant influence in the court.

However.

After learning the news that Gu Yi had been promoted to Magistrate of Luoyang.

The happiest person was definitely not Gu Yi himself.

It was Wang Yun!

If Gu Yi's original status in Wang Yun's eyes was that of a rising star in front of Dong Zhuo.

Then now, Gu Yi had directly become a key figure with real power!

Magistrate of Luoyang—don't look down on it just because it doesn't compare to the prestigious titles or the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers.

But he could have a say in the entire Luoyang region!

And he possessed jurisdiction over administrative affairs.

After the imperial court assembly ended.

Wang Yun immediately chased after Gu Yi with the fastest speed.

"Young Friend Gu, I heard you don't have a place to stay in Luoyang city yet, right?"

"This old man has a residence in the east of the city, and I have always had servants keep it clean."

"I am old and cannot personally go to the battlefield to render service to the state."

"In the future, matters of serving the imperial court must be entrusted to you young people."

"You can stay in this residence for as long as you like."

Wang Yun knew that Gu Yi was different from the other civil and military officials of Dong Zhuo's army.

Most of those guys were already over thirty.

While Gu Yi was not even twenty.

If Wang Yun did not seize the time to win him over now.

The remaining old guys like Yang Biao and Shi Sunrui would never miss a good opportunity to win Gu Yi over.

After all.

Gu Yi was a late addition to Dong Zhuo's army.

He could not be called a die-hard loyalist.

If he could win over such a talented person, it would definitely be a matter of more benefits than drawbacks.

And for Wang Yun, Gu Yi appeared even more important!

Don't look at how Wang Yun pretended to be Dong Zhuo's loyal sycophant on the surface.

But in reality?

If you want to talk about who in the entire Luoyang city wanted to kill Dong Zhuo the most, it would definitely be Wang Yun!

However.

Wang Yun's wishful thinking fell through.

Gu Yi smiled and said:

"Many thanks for your kindness, Excellency Situ."

"But the Chancellor has already arranged a place for me."

"Another day, I will definitely prepare heavy gifts to visit your residence, Excellency Situ."

Hearing that Dong Zhuo had already arranged a place for Gu Yi, Wang Yun simply gave up on his original idea.

But being sharp, he instantly noticed Gu Yi's mention of "visiting his residence another day."

"This kid..."

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes.

Intuition told him that Gu Yi was hinting at something to him.

Young people are the most hot-blooded.

Wang Yun sized Gu Yi up.

The more he looked, the more he felt that if a certain plan in his heart were executed, the success rate would be very high.

"It seems that after I go back, I must have Diao Chan hurry up and prepare."

Watching Gu Yi's departing back.

Wang Yun muttered to himself.
