After saying that, he went straight out the door.

Cheng Liu hurriedly called Sweet Potato to go out with him, and prepared a carriage to send her out of the city.

"Hey, woman, it's really the same no matter what era......"

Cheng Liu sighed and continued to lower his head to study the map.

……

Empress He looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, at least half of whom were eunuch relatives, and couldn't help but feel a little indifferent in her heart.

Since the assassination of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the people in the palace have become more sensitive to power, and after the local officials relied on buying officials to take the position, the palace sent special people to secretly collect it, on the one hand, it continued to hold the government in his hands, and on the other hand, it also laid a far-reaching foreshadowing for the Yellow Turban Uprising.

How did Queen He not know? The young emperor was young, and after he succeeded to the throne, he successfully became the Empress Dowager He, and the foreign officials seemed to be listening to the government, but only she knew how much effort she had made to keep the power in the hands of the Liu clan.

Recently, the Yellow Turban Uprising ordered He Jin to train soldiers and horses, take the responsibility of quelling the rebellion in the world, and regain the power of the soldiers and horses in his own hands, which seems to be a good thing, but the successive admonitions can't help but give her a headache.

If they sit idly by, many of the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK will force each other to die, and those court officials who look like loyal and righteous men will only threaten them with death and continue to squeeze the last glory of the Han family.

The young emperor had to go to the back garden to admire the moon today, and he was only fifty steps away from the guards, and half of the officials' eyeliners were occupied.

Not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, there is hardly anyone close to them.

The young emperor was only halfway through the moon appreciation, and he shouted to return to the palace.

But those guards stopped in front and said that the moon was full today, there was nothing in the palace, and there was no need to go to court early tomorrow, so they should stay in the garden for a while.

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly, she despised this in her heart, but she couldn't show anything on her face.

The Han family will fall, and she has to keep her son.

"Okay, then you bring some snacks, and in addition, you all step down, this palace has something to say to the young emperor."

The palace maids of the guards glanced at each other and retreated one after another.

The young emperor was ignorant, and after they walked away, he asked softly, "Queen Mother, why don't they let the child leave?" ”

Although the Empress Dowager He is already the Queen Mother at this time, her skin is well maintained, and unlike ordinary women, she was born in a humble butcher family, and she knows how to take care of herself.

"Bian'er, the queen mother must inform you of some major state affairs, which are related to the people, but this Han family doesn't know how long it can last, and I don't know if it can continue to be controlled by our Liu family, so you have to keep in mind every word that the queen mother says next."

The young emperor raised his head, and then nodded vigorously.

"Please rest assured, the queen mother has grown up!"

"Zhang Jiao's rebellion against the thieves rebelled, in the final analysis, we lost the hearts of the people first, and the root cause of this is not in you, me, mother and son, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to care about these causes and effects. In two days, I will summon a mysterious person into the palace, he is now in Luoyang, no matter how the Han family rises and falls, he is not in the government, he is not noticeable, he may be able to help us survive this catastrophe. ”

"Who is this man?"

The young emperor's immature voice rang out.

Empress Dowager He hugged her son, tears rolling in her eyes.

"This person's surname is Cheng Mingliu, remember, the queen mother will arrange for you to meet alone later, and you are not allowed to say the wrong thing when the time comes!"

Liu Wei smiled: "Bian'er understands, everything is arranged by the queen mother!" ”

……

Two days later, Cheng Liu yawned, there was no news at all this morning, the wind and waves outside were calm, and the quiet was really a little scary.

Sweet potatoes were waiting outside the door, and when he got up, he took them to the house to eat.

After the maidservant retreated, Sweet Potato said softly: "There is a decree in the palace to summon the son into the palace." ”

Cheng Liu was originally drinking porridge, and sighed that he finally had no official documents for him to look at today, and the sweet potato's words were directly burned by the hot porridge.

"You...... You said...... What the? ”

Cheng Liu blew and asked her in shock.

Sweet potato had to repeat it again, and said: "Empress Dowager He personally ordered that the prince enter the palace after breakfast, and the carriage from Jingshi has stopped outside the mansion." ”

Cheng Liu sighed, this should always come.

After eating some things casually, Cheng Liu didn't dare to delay, since it was Empress Dowager He, he was not very afraid.

After getting into the carriage, Cheng Liu's original heart suddenly became worried.

Empress Dowager He is not an idle person, perhaps she inherited the genes of her father's butcher, and she also did several major things when the Han family was about to decline, could it be said that she wanted to let herself help?

Wrong wrong.

At this time, the eunuchs and relatives in the palace stared very closely, if they were to talk to him about some state affairs at this time, it would inevitably attract attention, could it be a trivial matter?

Cheng Liu can only comfort himself like this.

On the way into the palace, you can't open the curtain to see the situation outside, but Jingshi is extremely quiet, perhaps because all the people in the city are hiding at home, and the streets are deserted.

finally entered the palace, went directly to the Empress Dowager He, drove a eunuch, and only after arriving at the destination, did he shout.

"Cheng Guanren, this is the Queen Mother's bedroom, she is waiting for you in the side hall."

The voice was thin, Cheng Liu was not used to listening to it, and he directly dropped goosebumps on the ground.

Turning all the way, I finally arrived at the Empress Dowager He, and I saw a group of maids surrounding her from a distance, I don't know what she was doing, and after Cheng Liu approached, those maids dispersed.

It's not the first time the two have met, but these two meetings have a mysterious feeling.

The first time was the assassination of Emperor Ling of Han, and the two met by chance.

But this second meeting, Empress Dowager He has obviously grown a lot, not only in figure, but also in the temperament of the whole body, but there is a feeling of motherhood.

Cheng Liu looked at her and was about to make a big salute, only to hear Empress Dowager He say softly: "No need, you and I are not outsiders, please sit down." ”

Cheng Liu was not polite, sat down with a big grin, and asked rhetorically: "Why are you alone, your son?" ”

This was also straightforward, but the Empress Dowager He was relieved.

"In the back garden, you'll see you later."

Cheng Liu nodded and said directly: "Straight to the point, I probably have the purpose of looking for me, to be honest, the soldiers and horses in Jianye City are saved by you, even if you don't say it, I can guess it, so if you have any requirements, just mention it." ”

Empress Dowager He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be reasonable again, and she couldn't help but smile: "You are really special, but, you guessed it, my request is very simple, Luoyang is lost, take our mother and daughter away." ”

Cheng Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not answer immediately.
