After discussing with Cao Cao, Liu Xuan asked Cao Bao to escort Cao Cao out of the palace, while he went straight to find the Queen Mother He!

Although the chaos has subsided now, everyone with some knowledge in the palace knows that this matter has just begun. He Jin was killed, and the court that was originally controlled by him seemed to have to re-divide the power. As for who can control the biggest

Authority, it’s hard to say.

Empress Dowager He, who relied on her brother's power to control the inner court, had no intention of resting at this time. She was sitting alone in the palace, looking worried at Liu Bian who was sleeping soundly.

"Now that both brothers are dead, the court is no longer under control. Bian'er has just ascended the throne and has no foundation at all. What should we do in the future?"

What worried her even more was that the cronies she sent out soon reported that most of the soldiers and horses in the capital fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou.

"Dong Zhuo has led troops to the capital, and I'm afraid he has very big plans! If he is allowed to take control of the court, what will happen to us, mother and son?"

Thinking of this, she felt even more worried. Looking at Liu Bian who was sleeping very soundly, Queen Mother He sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep so peacefully again! I don't know what will happen to our mother and son?"

At this time, she would never have thought that Dong Zhuo had already planned to depose the emperor as soon as he entered the capital. If she really knew about it, Queen Mother He would be even more worried.

After all, in her heart, as long as Liu Bian still sits on the throne of the emperor, there will be no worries about her own life. The difference is that if she has power, she can live a more comfortable life.

I have lived a life of hardship and darkness.

But even then, she felt that no matter how painful it was, it was limited. After all, the emperor's body was there, and there were veterans in the court who were truly loyal to the Han Dynasty. The power of these people could not be ignored. Even if Dong Zhuo really controlled most of the power, he would not be able to do so.

Really no one can control it.

"Perhaps, we should have a friendly relationship with those old ministers?"

After some calculations in his mind, the names worthy of wining over came to mind one by one: "The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei is the auxiliary minister. Dong Zhuo's struggle for power will also harm his own interests. In addition, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have great prestige."

, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two younger generations, have more troops at their disposal and must win over them!"

"Lieutenant Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun have always had great prestige!"

In addition, Huangfu Song, who had repeatedly made meritorious deeds but was idle at home because of the eunuch's advice, could also win over: "This man is a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and has a very high prestige in the army."

"Young Master Zhu Jun is in charge of everything in the palace and must be coaxed together!"

Calculating everything in my mind, I don't know why I suddenly thought of Liu Xuan.

"King Liang..."

Logically speaking, the throne has been sealed, and Liu Xuan is not as young as King Chen Liu, so he should have gone to live in his own fiefdom long ago and should not continue to stay in the imperial city.

But things have been going on in the past few months, and everyone has forgotten about this matter! Besides, Liu Xuan is usually too low-key. If he hadn't seen this person, no one would have remembered that there was such a prince in the palace.

Empress Dowager He had also learned about yesterday's events from her subordinates and Liu Bian. Although she had long known that Liu Xuan was capable, she did not expect that he would be so powerful.

"Now that Bian'er is alone, Liu Xuan seems to treat Bian'er well, maybe he can be relied upon to help?"

In any case, the world belongs to the Liu family, and Liu Xuan and Liu Bian are brothers. Now that the throne has been determined, Liu Xuan should try his best to ensure that the Liu family does not fall in order to live a better life for himself - especially

The court cannot be controlled by outsiders.

To put it bluntly, their brothers are fighting for the emperor and everything in the world. That is their own business, but if an outsider wants to get involved, the first thing is to defeat the outsider.

At this point, Liu Xuan should understand that Queen He felt that even if Liu Xuan had some quarrel with her, she would not embarrass her brother at this time.

But think about it, last year I wanted to drive Liu Xuan out of the palace, and even threatened him with poison and wine. However, the situation changed a year ago. Not only did I have to find a way to keep Prince Liang in the capital, I even had to join forces with him.

There is nothing more capricious than this.

Just as he was thinking about how to discuss with Liang Wang Liu Xuan, he saw the palace maid hurriedly came in to report, saying: "Liang Wang wants to see the Queen Mother and is waiting outside the palace now."

Hearing this, Queen Mother He was startled, and then she realized that Liu Xuan must have thought of something with her. She couldn't help but murmured in her heart: "This Liu Xuan is so quick-thinking, I'm afraid he also thought of those crucial points, so he stayed in the capital."

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse…”

For a moment, he even worried that even if Dong Zhuo was driven away, the great power in the dynasty would be captured by King Liang. What kind of life would he and his son have at that time?

Fortunately, this kind of trance was only for a moment. After he came back to his senses, he immediately asked the palace maid to bring Liu Xuan in. He left the bedroom and sat down outside to wait for Liu Xuan's arrival.

As soon as Liu Xuan came in, he saw the Queen Mother sitting on her. After she came in and stood still, the Queen Mother stood up. After she finished her salute, she returned the gift in accordance with the law. After completing all the etiquette, she sat down one after another - Liu Xuan has the throne.

, according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, no one could sit there and receive a courtesy from him, not even the emperor.

It can be said that since he was crowned King of Liang, Liu Xuan's treatment has improved several levels, and his life is much more comfortable than before.

But I didn’t come here to show off my status this time. It was always business that was important. In addition, Liu Xuan didn’t like to go around. As soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point and said: "Today, the general died unexpectedly, the capital is in chaos, and there are

Tigers and wolves are surrounding you. If you don’t make a plan early, you may be in serious trouble!"

Queen Mother He was still thinking about how Liu Xuan would bring up the topic, but she didn't expect that Prince Liang would speak so directly. He would get to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and he would tell the matter very directly without any cover-up.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond, but in the end I asked for advice: “In the opinion of King Liang, what should we do?”

Although Queen Mother He has been in the palace for a long time, she has a poor background and limited knowledge. Even though she has learned a lot in the palace over the years, what she has learned is not these things. Instead, she is better at things like poisoning people and fighting for favors and profits.

.

In the past, there was General He Jin who kept the princes in the court under control, so there was no trouble. Now the situation has changed drastically. Although she knew that she wanted to win over some people, she had no idea what else to do.

At this time, seeing that Liu Xuan's tone seemed to be planning something, he couldn't help but ask more questions.

Liu Xuan did not hide it, but said directly: "In the current situation, we must first control the troops and horses to protect the emperor! If there are no troops and horses in hand, even if the princes in the court support them, it will be useless."

Empress Dowager He strongly agreed with this point. Her brother relied on seizing military power to control the situation in the court. However, she did not understand how to control the troops. Moreover, the troops in the capital were in chaos, and most of them had been won over by Dong Zhuo.

It seems a bit late to take action now?

After speaking out his questions one by one, Liu Xuan explained directly: "Yuan Shu, the general of the Huben army, is in the hands of the Huben army, and the Xiyuan army is in the hands of the Sili captain Yuan Shao. There is no need to move these two troops.

No! But General Yu Lin Zhonglang is in charge of the Yu Lin Army, and the Yu Lin Army is the emperor's close army, and we must not allow outsiders to take over it!"

Empress Dowager He also deeply believed in Liu Xuan's words, but when she heard this, she suddenly suspected that Liu Xuan came here because he wanted the position of Lieutenant General of the Habayashi Forest?

This position is not very high in the court, but it is not low either. With soldiers and horses at hand, it is a first-rate military position with real power. If the King of Liang has such a force, then he can put the emperor at any time.

Under his own control? Even if he wants to ascend the throne directly, it is not impossible.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, the expression on her face began to turn ugly, and her words became colder: "Who does King Liang think is the right person to be the lieutenant of the feather forest?"

If Liu Xuan said that she would be responsible, then Queen Mother He would find a way to send Liu Xuan out of the capital no matter what. However, Liu Xuan did not expect that Liu Xuan would not answer like this - he was not a fool, so he naturally understood that it would be too obvious for him to directly control the troops.

, and it also violates the ancestral system. If it is really done, even if it can seize the throne, it will be difficult to win over the ministers.

So he directly pushed Cao Cao out: "One of the eight captains of Xiyuan, Dianjun captain, Yilang Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are quite suitable!"

His contact with Cao Cao was not known to outsiders. Although they acted together last night, only Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao saw some key points, and it was absolutely impossible for these people to tell these things to Queen Mother He, so

The Empress Dowager would never suspect Cao Cao.

What's more, Cao Cao has another identity that is very suitable for him.

"Could it be that he is the grandson of Cao Teng, the former Central Attendant, Great Changqiu?"

"Exactly!"

When the Queen Mother He heard that she was a famous eunuch, and also the grandson of Cao Teng, she was so close invisibly - Dachangqiu was in charge of everything in the emperor's backyard, so the Queen Mother He naturally knew Cao Teng.

.

Although her brother was killed by eunuchs, all of them except Zhang Rang had been killed. She did not know anyone among the foreign ministers, but the eunuchs in the inner court made her feel closer to her, so she had no reason to

He hated all eunuchs for his brother's death.

Once involved with eunuchs, they will be ostracized by everyone in the court. It is generally difficult for such people to develop their own power in the court. Empress Dowager He felt that if she gave Cao Cao such an opportunity, he would definitely do his best.

Assist yourself in arguing with Liu.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this candidate was a good choice, but I still had one concern, that is, Cao Cao was born in the Eighth Army of Xiyuan, and the Xiyuan Army was the biggest murderer of yesterday's rebellion.

Liu Xuan could tell at a glance what Empress Dowager He was struggling with: Cao Cao's status as a eunuch later made her very satisfied, but the origin of Xiyuan Army made her extremely afraid: Xiyuan Army attacked the palace, frightened the emperor and the queen mother, and made people in the royal family feel wary.

People who came from the Xiyuan Army were somewhat displeased.

"Yesterday I saw that Cao Yilang did not lead his troops to kill, but he put out a lot of fires!"

Such words finally made Queen Mother He make up her mind to make Cao Cao the Yulin Zhonglang General so that she could help the emperor control the Yulin Army.
