Lu Bu thought for a moment and then spoke to Empress Dowager He: "The General had previously misunderstood Yuan Shao's words and summoned soldiers from all directions to the capital. It was really a big mistake. Especially when he recruited Dong Zhuo to the capital, he could almost destroy the Liu Han country. Dong Zhuo was originally a small officer in Xiliang, recommended by famous general Duan Yan to Yuan Wei, who was then Situ, and served as a clerk in Yuan Wei's Situ's Mansion. From then on, he began to be promoted repeatedly. His family was inseparable from the support of the Yuan family and was considered an old official of the Yuan family. Later, Yuan Shao deceived the general to summon foreign troops to the capital to eliminate the Ten Generals' attendants. The first thing that came to mind was Dong Zhuo, which was such a source. The Yuan family and Dong Zhuo both had ill-behaved. If the Empress Dowager was not wise and ordered me to gather military power in time, the general situation would be out of control."

Queen Mother He nodded and said, "What I love said is very true. I have advised my elder brother not to introduce foreign soldiers. However, my elder brother is stubborn and disobeys good words, which leads to the great situation being ruined."

Seeing that Empress Dowager He could hear it, Lu Bu continued to give a frank advice: "The general should not value the Yuan family, and the Empress Dowager should not trust Yuan Wei and others."

Empress Dowager He said suspiciously: "The Yuan family is already so bad. The Empress Dowager is determined not to trust them anymore. Why does Lu Aiqing have to emphasize it again and again?"

Lu Bu quoted the historical facts that Guo Jia and Chen Lin had told him: "The Yuan family has risen since Yuan An, and Yuan An has gained the credit of the court for the false reputation of Wo Xue. During the reign of Emperor He, Empress Dowager Dou was in charge of the court and Dou Xian was the general. Yuan An wrote many letters to impeach and slander Dou's family, but because Yuan An was hypocritical and able to disguise, Empress Dowager Dou could not find his handle. In the debate on whether to attack the Northern Huns, Yuan An advocated favor and opposed Lao Shiyuan's long-term success, and tried more than 10 times to avoid being promoted to the court. If it were not for General Dou Xian's insistence, the Northern Huns would have continued to rage the frontiers of the Han Dynasty. The Yuan family's attitude towards relatives had been established since Yuan An. Unfortunately, the general did not understand the historical facts and misbelieve in Yuan Shao's words, so he had today's troubles."

Queen Mother He sighed mournfully, "Although the eldest brother often looks proud, I know that he is cowardly by nature. Because he is from a poor family, he is afraid of the great families and believes in others. He thinks that if he valued the children of aristocratic families, he will get their loyalty. Now, after listening to Lu Aiqing's words, I can understand that the general was used by Yuan Shao. When the general died, the Yuan family took the opportunity to grow up. I promise you that from now on, I will not trust any children of aristocratic families again. For the sake of this plan, how to deal with the Yuan family, what are the strategies Lu Aiqing has?"

Lu Bu told Empress Dowager He about the repression of Yuan Dace that he had planned with Xu Shu and Guo Jia when he left Yingchuan. After this, Empress Dowager He was overjoyed: "Tomorrow's morning court, I will handle it with this plan."

After complaining about the harm of Yuan's family, he discussed how to deal with the Yuan family. Empress Dowager He asked Lu Bu to change the topic to the matter of the Emperor of Heaven: "Liu Aiqing said this, it turned out that the Emperor of Heaven saved the palace, the emperor, and the King of Chenliu one after another. Lu Aiqing ordered the emperor to rob the palace, and used the robbed property to reward his subordinates to buy the morale of the army, eliminated the inferior soldiers and left it to Lord Lu Zhi, recruited talents and stored the palace maids at home. It should not be the Emperor's instructions?" His tone was calm, but he was full of murderous intent.

Lu Bu guessed a long time ago that Empress Dowager He used an elite royal spy organization, which was not presented in history because Dong Zhuo entered the capital too quickly, and He Tai did not react later. In this time and space, Lu Bu gathered He Jin and He Miao's remaining troops, which made Dong Zhuo frightened and dared not enter Luoyang City. Only then could Empress Dowager He calmly contact the royal spy organization and dispatch them to monitor various forces. Most of Lu Bu's every move in recent days could not be hidden from the eyes of those royal spys.

Lu Bu thought of this, and had prepared a statement, so he first made a statement of fear and pity: "The crimes of the Wei Me, who were guilty of death, were indeed committed by the Wei Me, but he was also pitiful and pityful. First, it was not that the Wei Me, who was plundering the army, but it was because the Bingzhou army had no military discipline. The Bingzhou army was composed of border people, and was rarely educated by Confucianism, and there was little courtesy and integrity. Lord Ding was a rough man and did not know how to govern the army strictly. The Bingzhou army came from a bitter and cold place and had never seen the luxury of the palace. So he was fascinated by gold and silver, and was greedy. He was just a mere chief clerk and did not dare to come forward to prohibit it, for fear that these riot soldiers would inflict rebellion and would hurt the Wei Me."

Queen Mother He nodded helplessly: "The crime of robbing the palace by soldiers, I will spare you for the time being, what about the others?"

Lu Bu then deceived him: "As for the robbed property, it is because of these arrogant soldiers and generals who share the spoils. When they see that Wei Chen is the chief clerk of the Bingzhou Army and are well-versed in the calculation of the taxes, they asked Wei Chen to take charge of the matter. Wei Chen had not fully assumed the position of Guangluxun at that time, and was still under Lord Ding. If it is said that it should be Lord Ding's responsibility to buy the military spirit. Moreover, Wei Chen persuaded the gangs of strong generals to give half of them to the empress dowager to protect the royal family's face. At that time, Wei Chen saw with his own eyes that the soldiers of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others also participated in the robbery of the palace. I wonder if they could hand over the robbed property?"

Queen Mother He sighed and said, "A few days ago, my palace issued an edict ordering Yuan Shao and others to return the looted property to the palace. However, Yuan Shao and others also said that the morale of the army was difficult to move and refused to exchange. Compared with the army led by the children of these aristocratic families, your Bingzhou army is still good, at least half of it. If I really force the remaining half, those arrogant soldiers and generals will probably make things difficult for you. Seeing that it is difficult for you to manage the army, the remaining half will be left for you to gather the morale of the army." In fact, less than one-tenth of Wei Xu, Song Xian and others handed over to the palace, and falsely claimed half, just to cover up the total number of looted people.

Lu Bu continued to apologize and said, "As for eliminating the inferior soldiers and leaving them to Lord Lu Zhi, it is Lu Bu's selfishness. Seeing Lord Lu Zhi was old and weak, Lu Bu did not want him to fight on the battlefield again. He wanted to rely on his youth and strength to monopolize the elite soldiers and attack the thieves, and achieve the great achievements of my ancestor Lu Shang. His reputation will be kept in history and will be remembered forever. This minister uses his own selfishness and hopes that the Empress Dowager will forgive him."

Seeing that Lu Bu was very sincere and his intentions were very good, Empress Dowager He had to smile bitterly and said, "Lu Aiqing, you are still good at taking advantage of it. Since you said that, I really have nothing to say. Let me tell you, why do you want to recruit talents from all over the world without any hesitation?"

Lu Bu showed a natural expression: "The late emperor gave the ministers and the great Han genius and entrusted them to recruit talents and support the Han Dynasty together. The ministers dare not disobey their orders."

Empress Dowager He shook her head and sighed, "Lu Aiqing, what's the best for me to tell you? Don't you know that only the Three Dukes and the General can recruit talents in the world? If you act across states like this, you will definitely be impeached by the ministers of the aristocratic families and say that you will violate the rules. At the least, you will be dismissed from office and beheaded at the worst. Don't waste your life for me, Liu Han and the country."

Lu Bu knew that Empress Dowager He's last words were tempted, so he followed what he said to Guo Jia before: "Meng Sheng once said, 'If you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are prosperous, you will be helpful to the world'. I have been deeply grateful to the Empress Dowager. I have gained this noble status. I dare not repay my death and dare not take the world as my responsibility! The country is stable in the Han Dynasty, and even if there are thousands of people, I will go!"

With such words, Lu Bu's face was firm and his eyes were firm, with a stance that was comparable to that of a geek and would not allow Su Wu.

Lu Bu's acting skills were so good, Empress Dowager He was stunned: "My dear and loyal, I still suspect it again and again. I am wrong. I apologize to my dear." As he said that, he was about to bow to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu just asked a queen mother to apologize to him, so he quickly got up and helped the queen mother up.

When Lu Bu helped the Empress Dowager up, the Empress Dowager's beautiful eyes flowed, and her eyes were grim: "Why did you take in that palace maid?"
