The emperor and Empress Dowager He were originally people who had no opinions, but this time Dong Zhuo and Li Ru threw their hands and directly handed over two major matters to their mother and son to deal with, which made Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He at a loss.

Don't look at Empress Dowager He's noisy Huan on weekdays, he wants to get back their own power day and night, but when Dong Zhuo returns the power to them, he will be stupid.

There was no one to guide them, and no one to remind them, and the mother and son were very uncomfortable.

As for those scholars in the court, Liu Wei can't go to them to discuss now.

After all, the person who fought Dong Zhuo outside was the Runan Yuan family, and most of these ministers and courtiers were devoted to the Yuan family.

Looking around, Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He were at a loss.

At this time, Lu Qiang walked into the sight of the two.

I don't know when, Empress Dowager He began to deeply understand why the first emperor and the previous kings valued eunuchs so much.

Standing in this position, their mother and son knew that apart from the eunuchs, the emperor really had no one to trust.

"The front line is dangerous, the eldest father went to Chen Guo alone, in case something went wrong...... What should I do?"

Like Emperor Xiaoling Liu Hong, who took Zhang Rang as his father, the current Liu Bian, because of his long-term dependence on Lu Qiang, also regards Lu Qiang as his important relative.

History is always strikingly similar. The relationship between the eunuch and the emperor seems to be forever following such a path of reincarnation.

Lu Qiang said kindly: "Your Majesty, the old slave can't go, Li Ru's words are not so much for Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, but for the old slave."

"With Dong Xiangguo's ability, how can he not know that the old man has some dealings with Liu Jian? Now in this matter, only the old slave can let Liu Jian sell three points of thin noodles."

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to grab Lu Qiang's sleeve, and said reluctantly, "I am reluctant to let my eldest father take risks."

Empress Dowager He on the side opened her mouth and persuaded, "Okay, the emperor should stop being willful...... Ah Gong Lu This is for our mother and son, a piece of loyalty is really a lesson from heaven and earth, and the emperor must also focus on the overall situation, don't let Ah Gong's loyalty be in vain."

After listening to Empress Dowager He's preaching, Liu Wei reluctantly loosened Lu Chang's sleeve.

Lu Qiang turned his head and said to Empress Dowager He, "Your Highness, as for Yizhou, Your Highness should let his three sons go back according to what Li Ru said."

"Some time ago, Chang Shi Jiamu went the way of the old slave, and wanted to ask for an errand to leave the capital and return to his ancestral home to erect a well-dressed tomb for his father...... Of course, this is also because the old slave accepted his goods, did things for others, and asked His Highness to be accommodating."

Throughout the ages, in front of the emperor, Lu Qiang is estimated to be the first eunuch who bluntly said that he had taken bribes.

Let anyone go to Yizhou to escort Liu Yan's three sons, this is not a big deal for the Empress Dowager He, the key is to let Liu Yan's three sons go to reunite with him, and the Empress Dowager He can't swallow this breath.

Empress Dowager He said: "Ah Gong, it's not that I don't want to let Liu Yan's third son enter Shu, it's just that Liu Yan, as the minister of the first emperor, is still the ancestor of today's son! But doing things is too shameless, the first emperor trusted him, let him be a shepherd like Liu Deran, and sent to Yizhou to defend the Han family, then Liu Deran went to Jizhou, he was also dutiful, obedient to the court, and the annual tribute was also not missing, and he respected the Son of Heaven very much, and when Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou, he cut the land and defended himself, and the opposite was revealed! I hate to kill such thieves as soon as possible! Now he wants to send his son back to Shuzhong, if the court has no hostages, won't Liu Yan be even more rampant?"

Empress Dowager He's reaction was within Lu Qiang's expectations.

I went to see Lu Qiang and said respectfully to the Empress Dowager He, "What His Royal Highness said, the old slave knows it, but the current situation in the Han Dynasty is complicated, and it is a chaotic situation that has not appeared in hundreds of years...... Has Your Highness thought about it? After the battle between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, no matter who wins or loses, the imperial court's control over the counties in the eastern part of the country will probably be much less than the first."

After all, Empress Dowager He is a woman, and she still doesn't understand the matter of Luoyang's three-acre land, how can she have any foresight to think about the pattern of the world.

"Ah Gong,

I don't understand this very well, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao are fighting, they are fighting for them, why does the imperial court weaken its control over the Kwantung Prefectures?"

Lu Qiang patiently explained to the Empress Dowager He: "Your Highness, in fact, since the first emperor returned to heaven, the court situation has been chaotic, and yellow turbans have swarmed in various places.

"Yuan Shaoxing's crusade against Dong Zhuo was nominally to protect the monarch, but in fact it was for the Yuan family to seize the power of the world, but at a deeper level, it was the ambition of the noble clans in various places who were dissatisfied, and they supported Yuan Shao and used the war as an excuse to monopolize more local resources."

"Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao have a war, if the imperial court can destroy Yuan Shao, the local wang clans will not dare to act rashly when they see that the power of the Han family is still there, if Dong Zhuo can't destroy Yuan Shao, it proves that the imperial court is no longer capable of quelling the local rebellion, and the clans will be equal to taking a reassuring pill, they will see through the current strength of the imperial court, and will continue to expand their armed forces in the local area unscrupulously, and eventually form one separatist force after another."

"At that time, there will be a situation in which the kings of the Spring and Autumn Period respect the Zhou family and compete for power."

What Lu Qiang is saying now can basically be predicted in the Han Dynasty, anyone with some foresight.

But these people do not include Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He.

Although the current authority of the imperial court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, Empress Dowager He still simply thinks that as long as Liu Wei grows up and can govern himself, he can still completely control the country!

At least not weaker than the first emperor in terms of authority.

But Lu Qiang's words broke the last illusion of Empress Dowager He.

"Ah Gong, how can this be? What about our mother and son now?"

Lu Qiang said: "Although Dong Zhuo is a fierce person, what he is doing so far is really from the perspective of the Han family, fighting for the Han family and the Kwantung clans."

"Although there are inappropriate things in his actions, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty also need to be patient, not to cause a restrictive change to Dong Zhuo in the inner court, and to let Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung clans consume each other before they can find a chance to turn over."

"Now that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and others occupy the south, it is actually equivalent to the establishment of China, and the imperial court is divided into resistance, south of the Yangtze River, no longer owned by the state, although Liu Yan has ambitions, but compared to Yuan's wolf heart and tiger ambition, it is still far behind, Yuan Yi is currently in the north of Yizhou, I think they will definitely not allow Liu Yan to exist in the south of Yizhou for a long time, Liu Yanru's current situation is actually not very good, whether he has ambitions or not, the imperial court is now showing sincerity to him, at least he can use him in Yizhou to contain Yuan's expansion."

Empress Dowager He nodded vigorously: "Then it is up to Ah Gong Lao to arrange this matter, let Liu Yan's three sons go back, and as for the escort, Ah Gong will decide on his own."

"The old slave did his best."

At the same time, Yuan Shu, who was in Shouchun, finally began to make some moves.

The letter written by Yuan Ji to Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu is like a treasure, holding it in the palm of his hand every day, and reading it from time to time.

Yuan Shao is now in full swing fighting with Dong Zhuo in the west, but Yuan Shu has been hiding now, just wanting to give Yuan Shao a thunderous blow at a critical moment.

But Yuan Shu is not a stupid person after all, he naturally knows that in this situation, it is not convenient to make a move against Yuan Shao.

After all, Dong Zhuo's strength is still strong, once Yuan Shao is subjected to the enemy, and Dong Zhuo's forces take advantage of the void to step into the realm of Jing and Yu and infiltrate to the south, it will also be a disaster for Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Yuan Shu has been waiting for an opportunity now.

When the situation was relatively safe, he was "discussing" this matter with Yuan Shao.

And finally, the time came for him to wait.

Dong Zhuo confronted Yuan Shao in Nanyang, although he was extremely aggressive at first, but the Xiliang army was finally stopped by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's soldiers of Nanyang were too far behind Dong Zhuojun in terms of combat experience.

However, he was able to experience and form in a short period of time, unite as one, and form a confrontation with Dong Zhuo, and this ability Yuan Shu is also admired.

Liu Jian was in Chen State, and he defeated Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and others in a row, so that Dong Zhuo couldn't take care of each other, Dong Zhuo

It did have an advantage in the past, but now it has become a dilemma.

It would be good if he was able to hold the foundation of Luoyang now, but I am afraid that he would definitely not have the strength to infiltrate the south.

As a result, Yuan Shu felt that the time to start stabbing Yuan Shao's knife in the back was almost up.

But after all, he is a brother born from a father, and Yuan Shu is still a little unable to do it, and he feels condemned by his conscience.

However, when he heard that Sun Jian led his troops to Nanyang and was appointed by Yuan Shao to fight Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu completely broke out.

Isn't this a naked digging into your own corner?

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

So, Yuan Shu found two of his cronies, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, to discuss how to stab Yuan Shao in the back, so that he could die faster.
