to Imperial Guardian Yuan Wei； 〃Your nephew behaved improperly； but I pardon him for your sake。 What think you of my scheme？〃
〃What you think is right；〃 was the reply。
〃If anyone opposes the great scheme； he will be dealt with by military law！〃 said Dong Zhuo。
The ministers； thoroughly dreaded； promised obedience； and the feast came to an end。
Dong Zhuo asked Counselor Zhou Bi and mander Wu Qiong what they thought of the flight of Yuan Shao。
Zhou Bi said； 〃He left in a state of great anger。 In such a state of excitement much harm may ensue to the present state of affairs； especially as the Yuan family have been noted for their high offices for four generations； and their proteges and dependents are everywhere。 If they assemble bold people and call up their clients； all the valiant warriors will be in arms； and the east region of the Huashang Mountains will be lost。 You had better pardon Yuan Shao and give him a post。 He will be glad at being forgiven and will do no harm。〃
Wu Qiong said； 〃Yuan Shao is fond of scheming； but he fails in decision and so is not to be feared。 But it would be well to give him rank and thus win popular favor。〃
Dong Zhuo followed this advice； and within that day sent a messenger to offer Yuan Shao the governorship of Bohai。
On the first day of the ninth month； the Emperor was invited to proceed to the Hall of Virtue where was a great assembly of officials。
There Dong Zhuo； sword in hand； faced the gathering and said； 〃The Emperor is a weakling unequal to the burden of ruling this land。 Now listen ye to the document I have prepared！〃
And Li Ru read as follows：
〃The dutiful Emperor Ling too soon left his people。 The emperor is the cynosure of all the people of this land。
