Chapter 214: Beigong Guardian Order
"Hahahaha......" Dong Zhuo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and only stopped after a while, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, of course Weichen will not use only this bit of soldiers and horses to escort the emperor and princess back to the palace."

Empress Dowager He's face changed, and she sneered and said, "Dong Zhuo, do you think this sentence can fool the mourning family?" Hmph, the mourning family has already received information, you only have 50,000 elite soldiers under your command, this time bring 30,000, and 20,000 are stationed in Yongzhou. ā
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be well-informed, yes, Weichen did only bring 30,000 elite soldiers here, but this does not mean that Weichen only has such a small number of troops." ā
Empress Dowager He couldn't understand, so she asked Cao Ju beside her: "Donkey, what does Dong Zhuo mean by this?" ā
Cao Ju sighed and said: "Queen Mother, if Weichen expects it to be good, I'm afraid that Dong Chong's old department has been persuaded by Dong Zhuo, and maybe there is also the old department of He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry." ā
"What?" Empress Dowager He was shocked when she heard this, and was about to speak, when she suddenly flew in and shouted loudly, "Report, General Dong Chong's old department came to the south gate of Luoyang, saying that it was ordered by Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Yongzhou, to come to escort and ask to enter the city, about 60,000 people. ā
"Sixty thousand?" Everyone immediately gasped, Dong Zhuo's department was 30,000, plus Dong Chong's old department was 60,000, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly increased to 90,000, if there was any more Miao's old department, Dong Zhuo would have an army of 100,000, and no one in Luoyang City would be able to restrain him.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Cao Juma is really powerful, I didn't expect that Dong's little trick still couldn't hide from Cao Juma, but unfortunately, Cao Juma knew too late." ā
Cao Ju nodded and said, "Yes, General Dong, Ru Shengye, in the future, this Luoyang City will be the ear of your world." ā
Empress Dowager He hurriedly said: "Don Ma, how is this good, Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty must not fall into his hands." ā
Cao Ju shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, General Dong's army is in hand, and he is holding the emperor hostage, no one can stop him, the Queen Mother still accepts her fate, I just hope that General Dong will not go too far." ā
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Don't worry, Cao Juma, although Dong is a rough person and doesn't have much ink in his stomach, Dong is still more reliable and won't go too far." ā
Cao Ju said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the current situation has been decided, instead of turning against Dong Zhuo, it is better to use appeasement methods, on the grounds of his rescue this time, or make him a commonplace, or make him a captain, and follow his mind before saying anything else." ā
Empress Dowager He's face changed slightly, and she asked, "Donkey, if you make Dong Zhuo a guard, what should you do?" ā
Cao Ju rolled his eyes and said, "Queen Mother, things are so urgent, how can you still take care of it completely, pass today's pass first, and talk about the future later." ā
"Okay." Although Empress Dowager He was unwilling in her heart, she also had to admit this fact, sighed, and thought for a while, "Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Yongzhou, stepped forward to listen to the order. ā
Dong Zhuo triumphantly rolled off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Weichen Dong Zhuo is here." ā
Empress Dowager He said loudly: "Yongzhou Assassin Shi Dong Zhuo has meritorious service in saving the driver, thanks to the community, and the mourning family has specially appointed Dong Zhuo as the post of guard. ā
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "The micro-minister is the leader, and the queen mother is wise." ā
After that, Dong Zhuo asked again: "Wei Wei was originally Cao Juma's official position, and now the Queen Mother has given it to Wei Chen, I wonder if Cao Juma will complain about Wei Chen?" ā
Cao Ju smiled slightly and said: "General Dong's words are wrong, iron fight official and flowing officer, no matter who you and I are the guards, they are all serving the imperial court, what's the difference?" In other words, Lone is already a concubine, but a relative, if Lone is too powerful, I am afraid that something will happen again, so Lone feels that Lone's soldiers cannot exceed five thousand. ā
Dong Zhuo praised: "Cao Juma is dedicated to the court, and he is a model for us, the Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that Cao Juma's opinion should be respected, how about it?" ā
Empress Dowager He hated it so much, Dong Zhuo came, Cao Ju not only did not fight with him, but automatically backed down, five thousand soldiers and horses were enough for something.
However, Empress Dowager He had no other way, so she had to sigh secretly and said lightly: "The words of the concubine are very true, just with the meaning of the concubine, the number of people in the concubine's department shall not exceed 5,000, and they shall not hold important positions such as the third prince or Jiuqing, and they will still be the guards of the North Palace." ā
This is also the cleverness of the Empress Dowager He, although Cao Ju's position as a guard captain cannot be kept, but the defense of the North Palace can no longer fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo, and only when it is handed over to Cao Ju and the Empress Dowager He can he rest assured.
Dong Zhuo listened, groaned, turned his head and glanced at Li Ru, who nodded at him, Dong Zhuobian immediately said: "Queen Mother, Weichen also thinks it's very good." ā
Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not object, Empress Dowager He also breathed a sigh of relief, although Luoyang fell into Dong Zhuo's hands, at least Beigong was still under her control, plus the second army of Qimen and Yulin.
After Zhang Rang's rebellion, Empress Dowager He did not dare to hand over the second army of Qimen and Yulin to the eunuchs, so she also incorporated them into the jurisdiction of the Nangong Guardian Order, which increased the authority of the Nangong Guardian Order a lot.
Dong Zhuo's sudden entry into Beijing completely shattered the dream of Empress Dowager He, and she had to accept the reality of the fall of imperial power.
Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei went back to Changle Palace together, Liu Mu returned to Changning Palace, Cao Ju also went with him, and Liu Jian and Liu Xuan were also together.
This time, in addition to Liu Xie, the most embarrassing thing was Liu Xuan, who made a big oolong, which made her very embarrassed when she saw Cao Ju again.
But Cao Ju didn't react, Liu Mu could come back safely, he was very happy, after all, Liu Yu and Liu Mu are both princesses, but the importance is much worse.
Back in Changning Palace, Liu Jian and Liu Xuan gave Cao Ju and Liu Mu a two-person world very interestingly, and let the couple talk to each other first.
As soon as Liu Jian and Liu Xuan left, Liu Mu's tears flowed instantly, and he threw himself into Cao Ju's arms with a "wow", and cried bitterly.
Cao Ju did not stop Liu Mu, but gently patted her on the back and held her in his arms, allowing Liu Mu to release the grievances and fears of the past few days.
After crying for a long time, Liu Mucai barely held back his tears, and whimpered while wiping them: "Donny horse, although the concubine is lost in Dong Zhuo's army, but Dong Zhuo is afraid of it, and he doesn't make any mistakes with the concubine, please rest assured." ā
Cao Ju smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Liu Mu wipe his tears, and said: "Of course Lone knows that Dong Zhuozhi is in the imperial power, so naturally he doesn't dare to be rude to the princess, and the princess doesn't need to worry about this matter." ā
Seeing that Cao Ju didn't have any suspicions, Liu Mu relieved herself, blushed slightly, put her hand down, and let Cao Ju use her hand to help her wipe the tears on her face. (To be continued.) )
