Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Young Master is too praised!" Then he asked again: "Young Master is going to see Queen Mother He, right?"

Zhang Lang spread his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that Gongtai knows everything. He should also know why I want to see Queen Mother He, right?"

Chen Gong smiled and then said seriously: "Young Master may not know something. The reason why the leader of the alliance asked you to see the Queen Mother He is because the Queen Mother He once said that she would not talk about the Young Emperor's affairs until the Young Master went there!

"

Zhang Lang was greatly surprised and asked: "Why?"

Chen Gong pretended to be surprised and asked: "Doesn't the young master himself know?"

Seeing his exaggerated appearance, Zhang Lang immediately realized what he was thinking, and immediately laughed and cursed: "I have only met her once, and I have nothing to do with her!"

Chen Gong shook his head, not knowing whether it was true emotion or fake emotion and said: "Young Master is really amazing! Just a one-time encounter can make the Queen Mother never forget him!"

Zhang Lang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to tell her. He turned around and walked outside, saying: "Let's go to the palace with me."

The three people walked out of the gate, mounted their mounts, and then ran straight towards the palace, supported by a group of soldiers.

Chen Gongdao: "Miss Ye Yu is still leading the army to guard the palace. However, not long ago, Yuan Xi took people to receive it, and a conflict almost broke out between the two sides. If the leader had not sent people to stop Yuan Xi in time, I am afraid that a fierce battle would have broken out between the two sides."

Zhang Lang frowned and cursed: "It's Yuan Xi again!"

Chen Gong nodded and said with some emotion: "There is no family affection among wealthy families. There will be many more things like this in the future!"

In Yuan Mansion, a dusty scribe came to the study. When he saw Yuan Shao, he immediately paid his respects: "Greetings, my lord! My subordinates have transported 500,000 loads of grain and grass to Luoyang!"

Yuan Shao was very happy, stepped forward, helped the scribe up, and praised: "Very good! Mr. Feng Ji will not let me down when he does his work!" It turned out that this scribe was one of Yuan Shao's important counselors, and he is now as famous as Xu You.

Every occasion.

Feng Ji quickly clasped his fists and said: "I dare not take credit. The reason why we were able to raise so much food and grass in such a short period of time is all thanks to Mrs. Liu and Houdexuan. Now Mrs. Liu is still using Houdexuan's power."

Raise food and grass to prepare for emergencies."

Yuan Shao had a sighing look on his face, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He was obviously thinking of his wife.

Thinking of another thing, he turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and returned to Feng Ji.

He handed the bamboo slip to him and said: "This is the list of rewards I have just drafted for the officials who have contributed to the crusade against Dong Zhuo this time. Take a look at it and see if there is anything wrong with it."

Feng Ji promised, stretched out his hands and bowed to take the bamboo slip. Then he unfolded it and looked at it again, frowned slightly, and handed the bamboo slip back.

Baoquan said: "My lord is wise, and I have no objection. There is just one thing. I think it would be better for my lord to think about it again..."

"oh?"

Feng Ji continued: "I think this subordinate thinks that the lord's reward for the Fourth Young Master is too heavy? The Fourth Young Master is so young. If he is granted the title of Marquis, I am afraid that it will be true and that the Lord's move is out of selfishness! ...

…”

Yuan Shao frowned.

Feng Ji saw the change in Yuan Shao's expression and quickly said: "My lord is the most holy and wise, so everything he does has deep meaning! However, my subordinates really don't want to see my lord's reputation affected in the slightest! ...

"

Yuan Shao smiled and seemed very satisfied with Feng Ji's words.

When Feng Ji saw this, he quickly took the opportunity and said: "My lord, although the Fourth Young Master has made great achievements this time, he is so powerful that he is famous throughout the world and is famous among the princes!

However, after all, he is too young. If he suddenly gains a high position, he may become arrogant. Wouldn't that harm the Fourth Young Master? Therefore, my subordinates think that it is more appropriate to reward the Fourth Young Master with money, silk and beauty.

Although the Fourth Young Master may be very disappointed, beating the Fourth Young Master's squeamishness will be very beneficial to the Fourth Young Master in the long run. My subordinates are very loyal, please show me my lord!"

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, patted Feng Ji on the shoulder, and praised: "What you said is very good, it really gave me a wake-up call!" Then he nodded and said: "Maier is indeed too young, so let him stay below.

Keep working hard!"

Feng Ji was overjoyed and worshiped quickly: "My lord is wise!"

On the other side, Zhang Lang and his party arrived at the gate of the palace. Ying Yangjun, who was responsible for guarding the palace, immediately put himself on alert. An officer stepped forward, raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Stop those who come! Don't trespass in the important area of ​​the palace!"

"It's me!" Zhang Lang said loudly.

Only then did all the officers and soldiers clearly see that it was Zhang Lang who was coming, and they quickly stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Young Master!"

Zhang Lang stopped and said, "I have something to go to see Queen Mother He."

The officer stood up quickly and asked his soldiers to open the palace door. A group of soldiers immediately pushed open the palace door and stood respectfully on both sides, watching Zhang Lang and the others enter the palace.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother He no longer lives in the cold palace. After all, Yuan Shao intends to let the young emperor return to the throne, so under the auspices of Yuan Shao, the Queen Mother He has moved back to the Queen Mother's Palace that originally belonged to her.

All the maids and eunuchs bowed and exited the palace. Only Zhang Lang and Queen Mother He were left in the huge palace.

Zhang Lang glanced at the Empress Dowager He. At this time, the Empress Dowager He was no longer wearing a jade hairpin sarong. She was even more beautiful when she put on palace clothes. Moreover, there was a kind of nobility in this beauty, which was extremely touching.

Zhang Lang withdrew his gaze, cupped his fists towards the Queen Mother He and said, "The Queen Mother!..."

Queen Mother He glanced deeply at Zhang Lang, her red lips opened and closed: "Does Mr. Yuan know his father's intentions?"

Zhang Lang sighed secretly, nodded, and said: "The one who holds the emperor hostage to order the princes!"

Queen Mother He frowned and asked again: "In this case, can Mr. Yuan still keep my mother and son safe as he promised before?"

Zhang Lang looked at Queen Mother He's angry eyes and said calmly: "Since I have made a promise, I will definitely fulfill it."

Queen Mother He's heart trembled, and then she sneered: "You may keep your promise, but will my son have to live like a prisoner from now on? Do you think I, a mother, will agree?"

Zhang Lang sighed and said: "This is indeed not a good thing, but at least he is alive and well-fed. But Queen Mother, if your son is left alone, the consequences will be even more terrible.

Dong Zhuo, as well as those princes who don't want to see my father gain power, will probably try their best to kill your child! Because as long as the child dies, it will be difficult for my father to dominate the court. This is what many people want to see.

Arrived..."

Queen Mother He turned pale and seemed a little overwhelmed. She had stayed in the palace for many years and naturally knew the cruelty of power struggles. Her children were living among the people. Once their identities were revealed, they would most likely be killed.

Zhang Lang looked at Queen Mother He quietly, waiting for her decision. Zhang Lang was not in a hurry, because in his opinion, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.

The reason why Zhang Lang came to persuade Queen Mother He was firstly because of Yuan Shao's order, and secondly because he didn't want to see the orphan and widowed mother suffer misfortune in the end.

Zhang Lang actually had something to say. He felt that if the Queen Mother He refused to cooperate in the end, Yuan Shao might find another Liu family member to become the emperor. At that time, the orphans and widowed mother might be really in danger.

.

Queen Mother He's face was uncertain, as if she was making a difficult decision.
