Listening to his words and watching his deeds, it is difficult to connect Liu Hong's performance today with the Liu Hong in the court yesterday.

Lu Bu watched coldly, except for Dong Zhuo, who was still standing there, looking like Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him without being surprised, the other courtiers showed disdain.

Lu Bu laughed secretly in his heart, these Han courtiers, holding a pen in their hands, monopolized the privilege of being an official of the Han Dynasty, and at this moment, seeing Liu Hong's wagging tail and begging for pity, they all disdained his behavior, but they didn't know that they and Liu Hong were just a fifty-step laugh and a hundred steps.

Above the court, there was another rush, handing over the seal ribbon and changing the court clothes, Dong Zhuo, the biggest gambler in the world, on top of the official position of the former general, received another Sikong seal ribbon as his reward for the big winner.

After the business is done, the next step is when Dong Zhuo rewards his subordinates and partners. The son-in-law Niu Fu is already a general in the middle of the feather forest, unchanged; son-in-law Li Ru, served as Lang Zhongling; Lu Bu, Ren Cavalry Captain; As for the position of Jin Wu, it has not yet been decided.

It seems that the official positions of the generals of the Western Liang are not high, especially the position of the cavalry captain that Lu Bu took office, and he actually controls the cavalry and the halberd under the jurisdiction of Jin Wu, which dwarfs the official positions of the generals of the Western Liang Army, but Lu Bu knows very well that the real power and official positions related to military power have been controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Today's Luoyang, in addition to the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, there are only Hu Ben Lang under the jurisdiction of Li Su, Yu Lin Zhonglang under the jurisdiction of Niu Fu, the cavalry and halberd under the jurisdiction of Zhi Jinwu, and the palace guards under the jurisdiction of Wei Wei. As for the remnants of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army and the remnants of the Fifth School Forbidden Army of the Northern Army, as well as the recruits recruited by Qiao Mao and others, they have all become the meat in the bowl of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, and there is definitely no possibility of spitting it out.

The result of this is obvious, that is, the eight captains of the West Park will be abolished, and the five schools of the Northern Army will also be completely hollowed out, and then some old, weak, sick and disabled will be stuffed into it, just to make a appearance. And the position of Jinwu controlled by Lu Bu will be handed over sooner or later, and of course, more than 200 cavalry and more than 500 halberd-wielding elites will be concocted and replaced in the same way.

Returning to the military camp in the east of the city from the palace, the magnates in Luoyang City no longer only sent their servants to come to the mourning hall to worship, but came in person, Lu Bu cried in front of his father Ding Yuanling, and returned to the back hall to rest for a while, when he was alone, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sat there cross-legged and meditated.

After a long day, he finally took off his father's hat and saved his reputation.

Now, the entire army was satisfied that he was able to capture the assassins so quickly and eradicate the forbidden army behind the scenes, and the unease caused by the death of the commander had also been swept away. The most important thing is that the generals and soldiers of the state army have recognized his commander-in-chief.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are all brave and resourceful famous generals, that is, Cao He and Hao Meng, in fact, they are not bad, they can have four people to help, Lu Bu has added a lot of confidence to the tiger in Luoyang, dancing with the wolves, and even the future hegemony in the Central Plains.

It's just that now, he still has a lot of things to do, first of all, his father Ding Yuan died, he wanted to show Liu Xie, the son of heaven, begging to help the coffin return to Mount Tai, and keep filial piety for three years; followed by the promotion of the generals of the state army, which needs to be implemented one by one; Then there was a cleansing-like battle in Luoyang last night, and the gains of the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army were very large, and the prisoners needed to be absorbed and reorganized and replenished to the battalions; Zuihou is Jia Xu, a world-famous strategist, and now that he has been asked by Lu Bu to go to the barracks, it is time to win him over.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu immediately spoke up and ordered his guards to summon Jia Xu.

"I've seen Lord Captain!"

Lu Bu stood in the tent with a sad face, just nodded, and said, "Sir, don't be polite, sit!" ”

Jia Xu's character Wenhe, over forty years old, at any time Liangzhou Wuwei people, whether it is body shape or appearance, are very different from Liangzhou men like Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu, but more like a scholar in the Central Plains, with a long figure, a square and thin face, a long beard under the chin, quite elegant, warm eyes, even if there is no smile on the face, it is also a group of kind, respectful attitude, calm demeanor, neither sincere fear, nor flattery, sat down in response, and asked: "Du Wei summoned Xu to come, I don't know what to order." ”

Lu Bu did not return to the main seat to sit down, but turned to face Jia Xu in the tent, and asked indifferently: "Mr. has been here for a day, and he should eat and drink, but he is still used to it?" ”

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, and replied: "Captain Meng Du cares, very good." ”

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded and said, "Since Mr. is here, stay under Lu Mou's account, if you don't appease today, Mr. is talented, and he will be of great use." ”

Jia Xu was stunned again, he didn't remember seeing Lu Bu at all, let alone any relationship, but as soon as this cavalry lieutenant spoke, it seemed that he had seen through his own thoughts.

"Mr.'s family is all in Wuwei?"

Lu Bu didn't wait for Jia Xu to answer, and asked directly, seeing Jia Xu nodding, he continued: "Now that Dong Gong is in charge of the government, Luoyang should be stable for a while, and Mr. is not ready to move his family to Luoyang?" ”

Jia Xu was quite embarrassed at this time, and it was not appropriate to answer Lu Bu's question simply "yes" or "no", and said with a smile at the moment: "Thanks to Duwei's concern, I am grateful, my family has been in Wuwei for a long time, and I also thought about moving my family to Luoyang before, but I was not used to the water and soil, so I had to give up." ”

Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu, blinking his eyes, as if he could see through what he really thought in his heart, and after a moment of silence, the camp tent was opened by the guards, and when he saw that there were outsiders present, he hesitated for a moment, and only then did he say loudly under Lu Bu's instructions: "Du Wei, the Queen Mother sent someone to come to worship." ”

"The Queen Mother? Empress Dowager He?! ”

Lu Bu snorted, feeling very strange, although now there are many people in his father's Ding Yuan's mourning hall who have come to worship, but the people from the inner courtyard of the palace, the Queen Mother was the first to send someone.

Thinking about it so, Lu Bu still didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly confessed to Jia Xu, rushed to the mourning hall, and returned the salute, thinking that the person who came should return immediately, but he didn't expect that the person who came would bring the Queen Mother's decree and summon Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was very puzzled, no matter how the Empress Dowager He lived in the Nine Profound Palace, as long as he inquired a little, he knew that he was already in a group with Sikong Dong Zhuo, and today in the court, Dong Zhuo had just forced the Empress Dowager He to move to Yong'an Palace, and abolished her son Liu Bian, making it clear that it was going to be unfavorable to their mother and son, and summoning the foreign ministers at this time would not arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion even more.

Yong'an Palace is located in the southeast of the North Palace, the circumference of the palace is 698 zhang, there are Jingfu, Anchang, Yanxiu and other palaces in the palace, as well as the Houtai and the garden with beautiful environment. The north of the palace is Yongheli, where the powerful are concentrated, and on the north side of the avenue from the east gate of the north palace to the east gate of the city, there are arsenals and Taicang from west to east, which are the royal military warehouses and the grain warehouses that supply the central imperial palace, and the former is under the jurisdiction of Lu Bu, the ruling Jinwu.

Empress Dowager He moved to Yong'an Palace, which meant that she was forced to move away from the north and south palaces, away from the court.

Enter the inner city from the upper east gate in the east of the city, and then turn a corner, that is, Yong'an Palace. Lu Bu took dozens of personal guards, and he had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all, so he directly followed the comer, entered Yong'an Palace, and met Empress Dowager He. What the landscape was along the way, Lu Bu didn't have the heart to take a closer look.

Above the court, Lu Bu didn't see clearly, now there is still more than an hour before dusk, and the palace is the sunset, adding warmth and brightness, although the Empress Dowager He has a sad face, she can be graceful and graceful. Seeing this queen mother, whose charm has not diminished in the slightest, Lu Bu really realized what it means to be born beautiful.

"Minister, ride the capital lieutenant Lu Bu, knock on the Empress Dowager Bixia!"

"The Qing family is exempt!"

As soon as Lu Bu knocked on the ground, he heard the voice of the Empress Dowager He, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, because of the voice of the Empress Dowager He, it was really charming, even if it was such a polite remark, but the kind of soft and sweet charm was not reduced at all.

"Yesterday, when the mourning family heard that Ding Qing was seriously stabbed, they wanted someone to visit, but there were many things in the palace, so they delayed it and never thought about it."

When the Empress Dowager He said the back, she was already choked up, Lu Bu was a little funny in her heart, this Empress Dowager He was really good at talking, she was choked up and sad at the moment, it must not be for her father Ding Yuan, but for her and the unpredictable future of the emperor.

Think about it, a few days ago, she was still the queen mother on the top, the emperor ascended the throne, the dynasty was governed, and there were generals and car generals to help, but after just a few days, the brothers died, the emperor was abolished, and she was also forced to move here.

It can be seen that this Empress Dowager He, although she is a woman, has many inappropriate actions some time ago, but this resilience proves that she is extraordinary.

"The queen mother bixia grace, Weichen is ashamed and dare not be, my father was assassinated, and the murderer has now been ambushed, which is enough to comfort my father's soul in the sky. However, the Queen Mother moved to Yong'an Palace, which was the time for self-cultivation and self-cultivation. ”

Empress Dowager He was slightly stunned, looked up, never thought that Lu Bu was also looking over, the two of them looked at each other like this, staring for a moment, Empress Dowager He seemed to be overwhelmed by Lu Bu's gaze, bowed her head slightly, and said: "This is exactly what the mourning family means, now that the government has Sikong and Taifu auxiliary government, the mourning family does not need to worry, living in Yong'an Palace, it is suitable for quiet recuperation." ”

Lu Bu secretly praised in her heart, this Empress Dowager He is really a smart and clever person, she understood such a vague hint, and immediately followed the words, and in the words, Sikong Dong Zhuo was ranked before Taifu Yuan Kui, this thought was indeed exquisite enough.

"It's a pity!"

Lu Bu sighed in his heart, such a graceful and beautiful queen mother, but because of a wrong step, her brother and general He Jin were killed, and she was in a difficult situation.
