"Minister Li Ru, on the orders of His Majesty, sent pastries for the Queen Mother to pay tribute to Jiaozhou!"

"Come in!" In the Yongning Palace, the Empress Dowager He was still loosely dressed and lying lazily on the wooden couch. Li Ru carried the mahogany plate and entered the hall. Originally, when he heard the voice of the Empress Dowager He, Li Ru's bones were already weak. When he entered the Yongning Palace, he saw the seductive figure of the Empress Dowager He, and his body trembled slightly.

Li Ru hurriedly lowered his head, no longer stared at the Empress Dowager He, placed the dinner plate in his hand on the table not far from the wooden couch, bowed and said: "Please also ask the Empress Dowager to taste, and the minister will return to His Majesty." Originally, Empress Dowager He was too lazy to move, and planned to taste it when she was a little hungry. However, it is rare for her son to be filial, and the Empress Dowager He didn't think much about it, so she slowly got up with the support of the maid.

"Hard work, Li Aiqing sent pastries!" Empress Dowager He also knew Li Ru, and after Liu Bian was taken into the palace, many things were handled by Li Ru. The important minister of his own son, Empress Dowager He also knows that she still gives some thin noodles.

Empress Dowager He stood in some transparent gauze with one hand, picked up a small piece of it, looked at it carefully, and asked, "What is this?" It's really meticulously done. ”

"Empress Dowager, this is a pastry for an urgent attack in Jiaozhou's eight hundred miles, and it is rare to see it. His Majesty was worried that the Queen Mother would be too bored in the harem, so he sent some for the Queen Mother to taste. Even if it's not too tasty, it's pleasing to the eye. Li Ru still hasn't raised his head, he doesn't want to be seduced by Empress Dowager He again.

"Huh!" Seeing Li Ru's performance, Empress Dowager He smiled lightly with a little playfulness. Many ministers came to see the Empress Dowager He, all of them looked like this, and the Empress Dowager He was not surprised. The original Empress Dowager He was not like this, but under the pampering of the first emperor Liu Hong, she liked to show her charming body more and more in front of people.

"Your Majesty's filial piety, this palace is pleased!" Empress Dowager He chuckled and slowly put the pastry in her hand into her mouth. Li Ru raised his head slightly, staring at the pastry in Empress Dowager He's hand, as if he was helping Empress Dowager He to put the pastry into his mouth as soon as possible. When Empress Dowager He saw Li Ru's appearance, she probably thought that Li Ru had a heart for her beauty, and she didn't think much about it, so she swallowed the pastry in her hand with a charming smile.

"It tastes good!" Empress Dowager He gently puffed her fingers, looked at Li Ru out of the corner of her eyes and said.

However, Li Ru didn't seem to see Empress Dowager He teasing, and his eyes were still staring straight at Empress Dowager He.

Seeing Li Ru, who seemed a little unbearable, even the two palace maids beside Empress Dowager He covered their mouths and chuckled.

Suddenly, the face of the Empress Dowager He, who was originally smiling, froze. "Uh..." Empress Dowager He looked at Li Ru and suddenly understood, but the poison was too fast, and the corners of Empress Dowager He's mouth had begun to appear dark black, and there was a gurgling sound in her throat, but she couldn't make a sound. Seeing this, the maids on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Dowager He.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" The maid shouted eagerly, if something happened to the Empress Dowager He, the two would not be able to escape the relationship.

"Dr. Lee, why are you delaying? Quickly send the Imperial Doctor over! One of the maids looked at Li Ru with a displeased face and scolded.

"There's no need to pass on the doctor!" Li Ru didn't worry at all, and shouted fiercely with a face outside the door of the main hall: "You should be guilty of poisoning and murdering the Queen Mother!" Come on, take down the traitors! Li Ru's words fell, and more than a dozen guards rushed in outside the hall, raised their swords, and surrounded the two maids beside Empress Dowager He.

"What are you waiting? We are the personal maids of the Queen Mother, and this poison is ordered by Li Ru, so you will quickly take Li Ru down and hand it over to His Majesty for disposal! The maid panicked, and in a panic, she insisted that Li Ru had poisoned her. However, the chief guard who rushed into the door glanced at Li Ru, as if asking Li Ru what to do.

Li Ru saw the look in the guard's eyes, raised his right hand and made a throat cutting motion, and nodded slightly.

"You are rebellious, murdered the Queen Mother, and even framed Dr. Li, you should be a capital crime!" The guard grew up, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the Empress Dowager He, who had lost her breath, and the long sword protruded twice rapidly, stabbing the throat of the maid who had no resistance. The two maids slowly fell down with frightened and confused faces, and blood gushed out in the roar.

"Please also ask the chief of the guard to report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can decide how to deal with the rebellious corpse!" Li Ru waved at the chief of the guard, and said with a very sincere expression.

"Rest assured, the Doctor will report to His Majesty truthfully. Thoroughly investigate the real culprit behind the scenes! The chief of the guard also returned the salute with his fists in return, and returned very solemnly.

The two of them settled the matter in a few words, but the surrounding guards couldn't tell the difference between north and south, and they didn't know what the situation was. However, since there were two high-ranking officials to deal with this matter, the guards would not think much about it, so as not to get angry.

The news of Empress Dowager He's killing soon spread throughout Luoyang, and Emperor Liu Bian wept bitterly. The whole country is sad, and everyone is wearing linen and filial piety.

The minister of the current dynasty was not a mediocre person, so he naturally knew that Dong Zhuo had done it, but there was no strong evidence, so the minister had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and no longer speak out about this matter. Although Empress Dowager He lowered the curtain to listen to the government, many ministers did not like it, but there were still people loyal to the Han family among the ministers. Cao Cao is one of them.

"Now that Dong Zhuo has gained power, and he has even blacked out on His Majesty's biological mother, I don't know what Meng De plans to do now?"

Chen Gong knelt in front of Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao again what he was thinking. When Cao Cao heard this, he was also bitter in his heart. originally thought that Dong Zhuo would get rid of his relatives, and the court would be clear in a few days, and his ambition would be realized one day. But the facts made Cao Cao's mind fall to the bottom again, who can save the Han now?

"I don't know!" Cao Cao drank bitterly from the high-priced spirits of the Northern Regions, as if the burning sensation of the liquor sliding through the roar could make him feel a little better.

"Now that the court is not clear, Dong Zhuo is not a good person, the Luoyang chaos is a matter of time, Meng De does not plan for himself, but also thinks about the people of the world!" Chen Gong took a sip of the spirits, put down the wine cup in his hand with a little disgust, and said: "Although this wine is mellow, it is too strong!" ”

"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled softly in his heart when he heard this: "This wine should be paired with heroes and heroes, and the public platform must be used to it!" Cao Cao, who chuckled, suddenly paused, and wondered: "What does Gongtai mean?" Planning for yourself? For the people of the world? ”

The burning sensation of the liquor roaring has not subsided, and after Chen Gong covered his mouth and coughed dryly, he still seemed uncomfortable, and said with a slight frown: "Gong believes that Meng De has seen that the world will be in chaos, but Meng De still has a little favor for the imperial court in his heart, so he doesn't want to admit it!" ”

"However, with Meng De's talent, he is willing to call ordinary?" Chen Gong seemed to be a little accustomed to the spirits, and took a sip again: "Even if Meng De doesn't plan for himself, do you want to bury your talents, sit back and watch the world be in chaos, and the people will not have a good life?" ”

"Dong Zhuo entered the court, although the palace can't see how long it will be chaotic, but the erosion of the Han court is a fact. In this case, when the world is in turmoil, why doesn't Meng De show his talent and help Sheji? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he lowered his head and pondered. With Cao Cao's talent, the chaos can certainly be seen. It's just that Cao Cao's expectations for the Han Dynasty and his loyalty to the Han family make Cao Cao unwilling to think about what will happen to him after the world is really in chaos. Now that Chen Gong pointed out so bluntly that at this time, Cao Cao didn't know how to deal with it.

However, Chen Gong's every word stimulated Cao Cao's nerves, which were already loosening, and Cao Cao's mind was already a mess at this time, and he couldn't tell the difference between left and right.

"All roads lead to Luoyang! It is also a road that leads to our ambition! Why did Meng De stick to the rotten court now, and not think otherwise? Since it is difficult for the court to be clear, why didn't Meng De gather talented people, rescue His Majesty from Dong Zhuo's hands, and return the Han Dynasty to Qinglang, so that the Han Court can already be proud of the world? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his head, his face was a little shocked and a little abrupt. Yes, my ambition is to help the community and save the Han, why do I have to stick to the way? As long as you can assist Your Majesty Kuang Fu Sheji and save the Han Court, what is the problem with using some extreme methods?

"Besides, the world is so big, even if Meng De can't do this, there are others who will use this method to save Your Majesty. If this person is as loyal as Mengde, it is easy to say. What if this person still follows Dong Zhuo and the others after saving His Majesty and the danger? Mengde, it's time to wake up! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his head roared! What Chen Gong said is extremely true, isn't it the case with He Jin before and Dong Zhuo now? If we were able to save Your Majesty and assist Your Majesty in reviving the dynasty, how could our Han court be so unbearable? After thinking about it, Cao Cao was confused, and his eyes began to become firm.

"teachable!" Cao Cao was a little dazed by the spirits, but he still stood up and waved at Chen Gong to express his gratitude.

"That's it!" Seeing that Cao Cao finally woke up, Chen Gong did not shirk it, got up and smiled in return: "Meng De wake up, my big man will have a promising day!" ”

"Hahaha..."After figuring it out, Cao Cao returned to his former sassy demeanor, and laughed: "It's not an honor to be valued by the public stage!" In this case, can the public station help? ”

"That's nature!" Invited by Cao Cao, Chen Gong gladly accepted, and laughed even more. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the friendship could not be told to others!

Cao Cao, who made the decision, did not delay any longer, and at the suggestion of Chen Gong, he left Luoyang in the starry night and took Chen Gong to his hometown Chen Liuze. At this time, Yuan Shao, after being summoned by Dong Zhuo, was also vain and wronged, agreed to Dong Zhuo's many requests or requests, and when he returned home, he took some retainers from his family and left Luoyang.

The next day, Dong Zhuo received the news that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others had fled from Luoyang, and he was furious.

"Bang!" Dong Zhuo was furious in Weiyang Palace, and originally under Jia Xu's suggestion, he won over the children of the family. I never thought that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were so ignorant of current affairs that they absconded in the middle of the night.

"The state pastor doesn't have to be angry, but for two timid people, the state pastor only needs to ask His Majesty to issue an edict and order the county guards to capture and kill along the way!" Jia Xu was a lot more indifferent on the side, and suggested softly.

"That's all it takes!" Dong Zhuo also knew that it was useless to be angry, so he followed Jia Xu's advice and went to Liu Zhi's place to ask for an edict.
