Seeing He Bai, He Xian hurriedly rushed over, and said softly in He Bai's ear: "The emperor and the prince were robbed out of the North Palace by Zhang Rang and others, looking at the North Mountain, and the officials have already led their troops to search. The Queen Mother's aunt is now waiting for the marquis in the General's Mansion, hoping that her brother can go to the Mansion for a while. ”

He Xian saw that He Bai was stunned, so he explained: "I have packed everything, and I wanted to go to Nangong to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager's aunt, but I was scolded. However, when the Empress Dowager's aunt heard that the Nanyang He clan still had a close branch such as the Lingling He clan, she couldn't help but be very happy, hoping that her brother could go to meet her. Later, he was afraid that the South Palace would be messy and inconvenient, so he pretended to worship his father in the name of his father and went to the mansion to be a marquis. ”

He Bai heard that it was Empress Dowager He who was obstructing, so he nodded and rode into the city with He Xian, while Huang Zhong, Han Rong and Zhang Zhang were by his side. All the way to the General's Mansion, at this time there were only eight eunuchs in the General's Mansion near the gate, and when they entered the mansion, almost the building was empty, and there was no longer the same crowd as on weekdays, and people came and went.

Walking into the main hall of the house, I saw that there were two pairs of corpses, in addition to He Jin, I thought there were He Miao. There were still more than 50 people in charge of the funeral around, including He Xianzhi's younger siblings and a few younger children. Unexpectedly, even He Miao's family was brought out by He Xian. It seems that although He Jin and He Miao's political views do not agree, the relationship between their children in private is still good.

He Bai sighed secretly, stepped forward and bowed a few times in front of He Jin and He Miao's corpses, put on a few pillars of fragrance, and felt the bits and pieces after recognizing and interacting with He Jin, and said silently in his heart: "Although I saw the two of them die, I didn't ignore it, this is inevitable by history, and I He Bai is ruthless." However, after that, the Nanyang He clan will be taken care of by me He Bai, and I will not let the disaster of the Nanyang He clan be wiped out. ”

He Bai comforted these cousins and cousins on the bright face, and followed He Xian to the front of He Jin's weekday meeting hall, and there were also eight beautiful palace people standing outside the hall. He Bai asked Huang Zhong, Han Rong and Zhang Zhang to wait outside the hall, and he entered the chamber with He Xian.

In the conference hall, a beautiful woman who looked only in her twenties sat in the place where He Jin usually sits, she was dressed in a plain white palace dress with wide robes and large sleeves, vaguely revealing a graceful and luxurious demeanor.

When she slowly turned her head, He Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, only to see her bright eyes and bright teeth, her face was like a peach blossom in March, white and powdery, a green silk like water, sprinkled like water in the candle flame, the vermilion cherry mouth, vaguely revealed a temptation to let you pick, the only skin exposed outside the clothes, as white as snow, faintly emitted a crystal clear light.

This woman is actually the most beautiful woman He Bai has ever seen in this life, more than Cai Wenji, the temptation of a mature woman and the royal nobility. He Bai couldn't help but sigh secretly, he didn't want Empress Dowager He to be so stunning, no wonder Emperor Han Ling was fascinated by her, forcibly abolished the aristocratic Empress Song, and set up a butcher girl as the queen. Although she was jealous and killed Liu Xie's mother for self-preservation, Emperor Han Ling never changed his favor for her.

Empress Dowager He was only in her early thirties, and she was just exuding her feminine charm in her later years, but she was killed by Dong Zhuo soon after, which is a pity.

Under He Xian's instructions, He Bai cleaned up his mood and bowed deeply: "The servant He Tianming visited the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a long life." ”

The Empress Dowager He, who was in a daze, woke up and turned around, wiped her tearful eyes that had already cried dryly, and said with a forced smile: "It turns out that before the death of the first emperor, it was often said that He Tianming, a genius in the world, was actually a descendant of my Nanyang He family. I don't want my Nanyang He family, and there are handsome nephews like Tianming, it's really my Nanyang He family's luck. I don't know why I didn't recognize my Nanyang He family before dawn, otherwise I wouldn't have known each other when I was down? ”

I didn't want the Empress Dowager He not to worry about the safety of her son, but she hurriedly came to find He Bai to recognize her relatives. He Bai bowed and said: "The Queen Mother Miao praised, the servant's Lingling He clan and the Nanyang He clan have not been in contact for several generations, so the servants never dare to climb the Nanyang He clan." I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned her servants to come this time? ”

Empress Dowager He looked at He Xian, He Xian knew that this was a major event in the court, and he could not participate in it, so he bowed to Empress Dowager He and retreated.

After Empress Dowager He stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows, she said: "You and I have not yet come out of the five suits, even if they are far away, they should still be one clan." Even though Tianming didn't want to climb high before, but now that the He clan in Nanyang is declining, he has to want to recognize Tianming and turn to Tianming for help. ”

He Bai also frowned when he heard this, and asked: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear that if it is within the ability of the servants, the servants will definitely do their best." ”

Empress Dowager He stood up happily and said: "The two brothers were unfortunately killed by the rebels, and there was no credible person in the palace and outside the palace. My Nanyang He family's sons and nephews are all young, and Xian'er, who has just come of age, is only a mere official, and it is difficult to obey. It is difficult to find someone to rely on for the mourning family and the emperor, but Tianming's nephew is a doctor in the court, and he also leads the military academy under the West Garden, which can be described as a civil and military all-rounder. What is rare is that Tianming's reputation among the Beijing teachers is not bad. ”

"Although he is younger, Huo Hussar in the former Han Dynasty Emperor Wu was only in charge of the court in his two decades. Therefore, the mourning family intends to give Tianming as a hussar general, to unify all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Beijing division, to protect the Son of Heaven, sweep away the treacherous in the world, and support the Han family. I don't know if Tianming is willing? ”

Hearing this, He Bai's mind exploded violently, Hussar General? To unify the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Beijing Division? Is this going to take He Jin's place? This is a great thing, with his own understanding of history, he can definitely grasp the internal and external military power of the Beijing Division before Dong Zhuo. Recruit Lu Bu again, get rid of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and the world will be safe.

Seeing that a great power would immediately fall into his hands, even He Bai, who had always been calm, couldn't help but lose his mind. It's just that what is your own ideal? Is it a generation of virtuous ministers like Zhang Juzheng who made the dynasty prosperous? Or is it a generation of emperors who reformed society and rebuilt a peaceful and prosperous world?

Through nearly half a year of cold observation, He Bai has indeed learned some knowledge about political struggle, but after taking He Jin's position, can he really compete with the courtiers? I'm afraid I can't! Can you convince the world? I'm afraid I can't! So how will he be in charge of the government?

He Bai thought about it, if he controlled the military power, he first had to reach a rapprochement with the hundred officials in the court, and he would be in charge of the military power alone, and the hundred officials would handle the government affairs. After he put down the rebellions in various parts of the world, he vigorously promoted talents, cultivated morality, and then competed for power with hundreds of officials. Then follow Liang Ji's example, dominate the court, and then carry out reforms. After that, he can either follow Zhuge Liang to become a generation of famous ministers, or follow the example of Emperor Wen of Sui to usurp the throne.

But is it really that easy? Wouldn't he have to worry about pulling out seedlings to help him grow as a hussar general? Thinking about the reform of the Sui Dynasty again, the reform of the founding of the country after the great chaos has never been long. He Bai didn't want the dynasty he had built to die like Qin and Sui.

Thinking of this, He Bai bowed down with great difficulty and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother values the servants so much, and the servants are grateful. It's just that the servants are shallow in their studies, and they are weak, so I am afraid that they will not be able to perform the duties of hussar generals, and they will not be able to help the queen mother reorganize the government. ”

Empress Dowager He couldn't help but ask anxiously: "This great authority in charge of the government, and the support of the mourning family in the palace, the position should be unbreakable, and Tianming Ru is not moved?" ”

He Bai said: "Back to the Queen Mother, as the old saying goes: Blessing is incomparable, and disaster is not a single line." The Jingshi was suddenly in turmoil, and the general and the general of the chariot were killed at the same time, leaving behind a huge authority to wait for everyone. At this time, there are not a few officials who are eyeing each other, but I will be jealous of everyone if I take the position of doctor and lieutenant of the military academy in the ether. The general has been in office for five or six years, and he is still not convinced by the court, let alone me? If I force it, it will cause chaos in the court again. ”

"Besides, the servants know a little bit about the art of looking at qi, although they are not refined, and they are not good when they are not spiritual, but today they can see that the luck of the queen mother has dropped to the extreme, and I am afraid that they will soon follow the emperor in Jiuquan. However, the Queen Mother's own complexion is not a short-lived person, and if she wants to come to Beijing, there will be turmoil because of the matter of authority, and the Queen Mother will not be in this chaos. Therefore, the servants thought that the queen mother should not still think about the matter of authority at this time, but how to protect herself. ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager He immediately panicked, not wanting the two brothers to be harmed by the rebels just now, but this time it was her turn again, and the rebels in the court were really hateful.

And although Empress Dowager He is shrewd, she doesn't know much after all, and she doesn't know the mysterious things of luck, so she has to ask suspiciously: "Didn't you see the luck of the general before dawn?" ”

He Bai sighed: "When luck is said, there is nothing and ethereal, and a servant can understand everything as a mortal. It's just that this time the chaos has broken out, and the servants can only see something by chance. The servants only felt that the Jingshi was full of murderous opportunities, which was not conducive to Zhuhe, so they had the heart to leave the Jingshi and go to other counties to take up their posts. But on weekdays, the servants can't see anything, and they can't do anything. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, she can stay in Beijing, and let the sons and nephews of the He family walk with me, so that the blood of the He family in Nanyang will not be extinguished. ”

Empress Dowager He heard that there was no master of the six gods for a while, and at this time, she had no He Jin, He Miao and the ten permanent attendants to help, and immediately returned to an ordinary woman. Empress Dowager He asked anxiously: "What about the emperor's safety?" ”

He Bai sighed secretly, Empress Dowager He finally asked about the emperor's safety. Maybe he has a different concept from the people of the time, the people of the time have great respect for the emperor, even if Zhang Rang and others robbed the emperor, they did not dare to disrespect him, let alone threaten the pursuers as hostages. Zhang Rang would rather commit suicide by throwing himself into the river than dare to hurt the emperor.

It's just that if he continues to talk about it, He Bai is afraid that the more he is involved, it will not be easy to get out again. He could only say: "The emperor is the son of heaven, how can his safety and servants be measured." ”

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager He suddenly knelt in front of He Bai and wept and said: "Tianming, Tianming, the first emperor tasted and said: 'Tianming's virtue and knowledge are different from those of the courtiers, and there is a strange plan to govern the world in his belly, but it is difficult to accommodate all the Confucian students in the world, and he can be my lonely minister. 'The first emperor valued Tianming so much, but unfortunately he died early and could not reuse Tianming. Now that the heirs of the first emperor are in trouble, I hope that Tianming can see that for the sake of the first emperor and the general, he will help my mother and son survive this catastrophe. ”
