Empress Dowager He
Liu Xie said loudly on his horse," The Emperor is here. Who are you? Are you here to escort him or to rob him?"”
Dong Zhuo immediately got off his horse and said," I'm Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang. I heard that the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court were causing trouble, so I've been ordered to escort you."”
" So you're here to escort me," Liu Xie smiled, and then his expression changed." If you're here to escort me, why don't you come and pay your respects to the emperor?!"”
Dong Zhuo's mind was shaken, and he was sweating profusely." Yes, yes.”He quickly stood up and greeted Liu Bian.
Liu Bian was so scared that he couldn't say a word when he saw the fiendish looking general. Now that he saw Dong Zhuo, he couldn't say a word.
"Check Dong Zhuo's fifth dimension!”
"Ding! Dong Zhuo's five dimensions were as follows: Strength 88, Intelligence 76, Domination 85, Political 70, Charisma 69. Detected hidden attribute skills, Double Crossbow, Cripple, Bully Dragon. [Double Crossbow: Each arm holds a crossbow and fires continuously. Strength increases by 5 points.] [Abolishment: After deposing an Emperor, Intelligence will decrease by 5 points, Political will decrease by 5 points, and Charisma will decrease by 5 points.] [Bully the Dragon: Unbridled bullying of the Emperor, politics decreased by 10, charm decreased by 10.]”
"Three skills. Unfortunately, only the first one is beneficial. The other two skills are self-inflicted.”
"Dong Qing, my Imperial Brother was frightened last night. It's better to escort us back to the palace first!”Liu Xie said to Dong Zhuo.
"Yes." Dong Zhuo bowed his head in assent and hurriedly mounted his horse, commanding his troops." All soldiers and horses are to stand on both sides of the road and escort His Majesty and Prince Chen Liu back to the Palace!”
"Yes, sir!" Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, and the clanging sounds were endless.
Even though Liu Xie looked down on Dong Zhuo, he was still shocked at this moment. He immediately thought of the famous direct troops of Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms-the Flying Bear Army!
" Dong Qing." Liu Xie hurried to Dong Zhuo's side and squeezed out a smile." This troop is really magnificent. It must be Dong Qing's famous Flying Bear Army!"”
"Oh?" " Yes!" Dong Zhuo cupped his hands, and a trace of arrogance flashed across his face." To tell you the truth, Your Highness, these hundreds of people are indeed the Flying Bear Army that I trained myself! But how did His Highness know?”
" Haha." Liu Xie burst out laughing, as he thought of beating Dong Zhuo." Dong Qing, although you are a border general, the imperial court knows everything like the back of your hand. Not only the Flying Bears Army, but also your generals, Li Que, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji. They are all excellent talents. Oh, you seem to have a military counselor, Li Ru and Li Wenyou!" He's amazing."
The more Dong Zhuo listened, the more terrified he became. At the end, cold sweat trickled down his back, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. He then asked in a trembling voice," How did Your Highness know?”
"Haha, don't be nervous, Zhong Ying. You're a meritorious minister of the country and a border general. It's normal for you to have a few generals who are good at fighting. If you have time in the future, introduce me to Mr. Wen You.”Liu Xie smiled and patted Dong Zhuo's back.
"Of course, of course, I will definitely ask Li Ru to pay a visit to His Highness in the future!”Dong Zhuo was so nervous that he was about to die. He had unknowingly developed a fear of the immeasurability of this young Prince Chen Liu.
"Yes." Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction. While the two were whispering, everyone could see the vermilion gate of the palace. Dong Zhuo looked as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurriedly said," Your Majesty, Your Highness, since we're already in the palace, I'll take my leave first."”
Seeing that Liu Bian and Liu Xie had no objections, Dong Zhuo cupped his hands and left.
Seeing Liu Xie and Liu Bian enter the palace gates, Dong Zhuo turned to the Confucian scholar wearing a silk scarf with a dark expression and said," The Emperor is weak, Prince Chen Liu is too smart. Wenyou, what should we do next?”
"Ming Gong, the next step is to take advantage of the fact that the others have yet to react and reorganize the army under the original Great General He Jin. With an army, there is no need to worry about others not listening to us.”
"Alright, no matter how smart Liu Xie is, he is still a child. I want to hold him tightly in my palm. No matter how smart he is, without absolute martial strength, he won't be able to do anything! Hehe."
………
Liu Bian and Liu Xie entered the palace and were immediately led to the Empress Dowager's palace. Empress Dowager He was Liu Bian's biological mother, but not Liu Xie's mother. On the contrary, Liu Xie had a deep hatred for Empress Dowager He. Empress Dowager He poisoned Liu Xie's biological mother, Beauty Wang. Later, Liu Xie was adopted by Empress Dowager Dong, which made Empress Dowager He extremely jealous. However, Empress Dowager Dong was poisoned by He Jin, so Liu Xie almost had no place in the harem.
However, for the sake of his own safety, he had to come and meet this ruthless Empress Dowager He. As long as he could make Empress Dowager He understand that it was impossible to kill him, then his safety in the harem would be guaranteed. After Dong Zhuo was deposed, he would also summon the generals and strategists. Then, he would be truly safe.
"Mother, your son and brother request an audience!”Liu Bian cried before he even entered the door.
" Son." Suddenly, a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a complicated palace dress and a phoenix crown, ran out of the beautifully decorated room. She hugged Liu Bian tightly and cried bitterly.
After crying for a while, she gradually stopped. She kept looking at Liu Bian's body." Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Quickly let me take a look.”
"No, I fled to a manor with my brother and then returned with those ministers.”
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Empress Dowager He touched her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She then saw Liu Xie standing beside Liu Bian. Her face changed as she coldly said," The Emperor is with you?"”
Liu Xie was under the eaves and had no choice but to lower his head. He could only respectfully say," Yes."”
"Hmph, as the younger brother of His Majesty, you actually didn't take good care of His Majesty. Liu Xie, what crime do you deserve!”
Liu Xie was speechless. Why did he have to put on all kinds of hats for me? He helplessly replied," Empress Dowager He, you must blame Xiao Wang for this."”
"Hmph, you know best in your heart whether I blame you or not!”Empress Dowager He said coldly," If Prince Chen Liu is fine, you can go back.”
"En, Empress Dowager and Imperial Brother should have a good gathering. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities like this in the future.”
"How dare you!" Empress Dowager He said angrily," Liu Xie, what do you mean by that? Don't tell me you have some disloyal intentions! What did he mean by there weren't many opportunities left?”
" Empress Dowager, there's no need to be angry." Liu Xie shook his head." The country is currently in internal strife. His Majesty has returned to focus on the country. Moreover, Luoyang is in chaos. His Majesty is alone and has to fight with so many officials. Of course, he doesn't have the energy to gather.”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager He's nervous mood naturally relaxed a bit. Thinking about it, it was just as Liu Xie had said. She couldn't help but worry. Her mother and son were alone and helpless. Although they sat on the throne, they didn't even have a helper in the court.
"Of course, compared to outsiders, I will definitely assist Your Majesty well. Empress Dowager, please grant me a residence in Luoyang. I will definitely choose talents for Your Majesty!”Liu Xie said solemnly.
Empress Dowager He couldn't help but find it hard to believe." Liu Xie, are you really going to assist your Imperial Brother?”
"Absolutely!"
"Good! It's rare for you to have such a heart. In the name of His Majesty, I'll give you a royal residence, a hundred servants, and ten maidservants.”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
