Since the beginning, Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu worshipped Empress Dowager He’s dock. However, Empress Dowager He was too swaying and did not give political support to his uncle and nephew, which also disappointed Lintao boys, which meant that it would be difficult for the future emperor to give Dong Zhuo or Dong Hu the support of full trust.

Cai Yong knew that Dong Hu treated Liu Yan, and Liu Bian was closer, hoping to use this closeness to tie the brat, but he didn't know that yesterday's closeness was completely different from today's closeness. Today's closeness was more about pity, pity for the tragedy destined by the brother and brother...

Old Man Cai could detect Dong Hu's ambiguous attitude, but could not detect his differences in his closeness to Liu Yan and Liu Bian, but this did not prevent the old man from running into the palace.

Liu Bian listened to Cai Yong's explanation of the historical books of "The Legend of Han in the East" and only listened to stories. He had a simple personality and had not thought about any conspiracy and plot, but Empress He was an adult and a leader who had emerged from countless palace concubines. How could he not know what some of the allusions Cai Yong explained mean?

Some people say that Empress Dowager He, He Jin, He Miao, and the four brothers and sisters of the little He family are extremely stupid. Is this really the case? It is really stupid to be able to gradually become a powerful person in the imperial court and the people? If he is really so stupid, He Jin would not marry Xiao He family to Zhang Rang's adopted son Zhang Feng, nor would he use the sick Taiwei Yang Ci as his teacher. You should know that the Hongnong Yang family is also a family of three generations. In the Han Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family status and the Confucius family in Lu State are equal to the status of!

Empress Dowager He and He Miao brothers sat down without saying a word...

"well……"

When Liu Hong was alive, He only felt the threat brought by Jian Shuo, the commander of the military school, to her mother and son. However, after Cai Yong's stories these days, he realized what kind of dangerous situation he was in, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"My younger sister will not stop her eldest brother from killing Jian Shuo, but her second brother also knows that if Jian Shuo is alive, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are alive, the eldest brother will not be too presumptuous, and the He family can save a family of old and young in the future."

"The Eighth Camp in Xiyuan can be handed over to the He family, but not the eldest brother alone. The second brother... can replace Jian Shuo's military captain. As for Zhang Rang... Zhang Rang is the second sister's family, so he will not harm my He family."

Speaking of this, Queen He looked solemn.

"The second sister and I are the legitimate brothers and sisters. If the eldest brother is cruel and kills Zhang Rang regardless of the relationship between brother and sister, how can he guarantee that he will treat his younger sister as his own sister? How can he guarantee that his elder brother will treat Bian'er well in the future?"

He Miao's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is that although Zhang Rang is hateful, it is... but it is the second sister's family. It is indeed not suitable... it is not suitable for brothers and sisters to fight each other."

Empress He nodded silently and said, "The He family is a minister, and when will it be a minister of the Han Dynasty? You must remember the disasters of Dou Xian, Deng Qi, Yan Xian, Liang Ji, and Dou Wu."

"I remember the Queen Mother's reprimand!" He Miao spoke in a hurry.

...

"Yan'er... is she okay?"

"Please rest assured that the princess has Eunuch Guo and Mr. Cui beside her, so there will be no danger."

...

"Forget..."

"Everything will be as good as Yan'er's wishes..."

Queen Mother He felt a little guilty about her daughter, but now that things have come to this point, there is no way to regret it. Perhaps it is to change the topic, so she talked about Liu Bian’s marriage.

"Bian'er should marry you, can you have a suitable person?"

Empress Dowager He's words completely disrupted He Miao's mood, but at this time he had to forcefully throw away the mess in his mind and seriously think about the right person...

"There is a daughter in Tang Mao, Yingchuan. She is beautiful and gentle."

"Tang Mao?"

Empress Dowager He was puzzled, and He Miao hurriedly told the story of the Tang family. After Liu Bian was born, He Jin became the prefect of Yingchuan County. For this reason, He Jin became a general. Especially after Liu Bian ascended the throne, famous scholars in Yingchuan also frequently visited the He family. After all, they wanted to make progress.

After hearing He Miao's explanation, Empress Dowager He was quite satisfied with Tang Mao's "famous scholar in Yingchuan".

"If that woman is pretty good, my little sister can come to ask for a marriage proposal."

He was still worried that He Jin was too powerful, so he threatened his mother and son. The fifth camp of the former Northern Army was still in Meiyang Camp, and Luoyang had only eight camps in Xiyuan. When she married her daughter to Yu Fuluo, she not only wanted to keep He Jin in Luoyang, but also wanted to win over four thousand Xiongnu cavalry. However, when Shanzi Camp defeated the eight camps in Xiyuan, Liu Yan left Luoyang. Although the Huns tended to the He family, they just bowed to He Jin, rather than surrendering to the empress dowager or the emperor.

When Liu Hong was alive, Jian Shuo was the military captain of the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan. Not only did he supervise the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan, but even General He Jin was under the supervision of Jian Shuo. Although Liu Hong died of illness, Jian Shuo's military captain was not dismissed and he also supervised the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan on the surface.

As long as Jian Shuo was not dismissed from his position, this nominal "supervisory" responsibility is still there. In a sense, it still suppresses He Jin and is still restricting He Jin's power. He Jin naturally wanted to kill Jian Shuo on his head.

Empress Dowager He, He Jin, He Miao... and the little He family who married Zhang Feng, the imperial physician, were one, and Jian Shuo was closer to Empress Dowager Dong. Or after Liu Hong's death, Jian Shuo needed a political support object with great power and completely defected to Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong didn't like his daughter-in-law He from the beginning. This is not only the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also related to the political tradition of the "Empress Dowager Reigns" of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Hong became the emperor when he was young. With the help of a group of eunuchs, he killed the general Dou Wu, and then imprisoned Empress Dowager Dou Miao. After that, Liu Hong was unwilling to have an empress dowager above his head. Even if the empress dowager was his biological mother Dong, he would not want it. For this reason, Liu Hong never asked about Empress Dowager Dong. The fight between Empress He and his daughter-in-law was very stunning.

Although Liu Hong and Dong were mother and son, they were politically hostile due to the convention of "the empress dowager's reign".

He was a daughter-in-law. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with "filial piety". Logically speaking, He should compromise. The key is that He was not a lady from a noble family, but a woman from the butcher family in Wancheng. She was used to quarrels and scolding between selling meat since childhood. She was extremely fierce and strong. Otherwise, she would not have poisoned beauty Wang. Such a temperament would naturally not endure Dong's suppression, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been bad. In addition to the disagreement between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the struggle between the two women also concerns the future "Empress Dowager's Inauguration" rights struggle, which is a struggle between the Dong family and the He family.

The Dong family supports Liu Xie, and the He family naturally supports Liu Bian. Liu Bian is the eldest son, and it is undoubtedly the inheritance of the throne of the Han Dynasty. The key is that when Wang Meiren was pregnant, she said nothing about "Dreams with the Sun" and it would cost her life. There is a precedent for "Dreams with the Sun" and they are all beauties with the surname Wang, and the first "Sun" was Emperor Wu of Han!

Liu Hong did not enthrone the crown prince until his death. Do you expect Liu Xie to be another talented and wise Emperor Wu of Han? No one knows, but the crown prince was not enthroned.

Once Liu Hong died of illness, whether Liu Bian was the emperor or Liu Xie, as long as Dong suppressed He, he could use the name of the Empress Dowager to hide the curtain. The general would become the uncle Dong Chong, instead of the current general He Jin, would He be willing?

Empress Dowager Dong had an irreconcilable conflict with Empress Dowager He. Jian Shuo, the captain of the military, defected to Empress Dowager Dong, and became Empress Dowager He's enemy. Logically speaking, when He Jin wanted to kill Jian Shuo, he should support He Jincai without hesitation. But this is only for the He family, the rights and status of the Liu family, or Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian himself were extremely unfavorable, and even put the mother and son in great danger.

The reason is very simple. Jian Shuo is the commander of the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan. His existence is actually the shackles on He Jin's head. If the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan does not obey the military order, it is a rebellion!

It restricted He Jin, that is, restricted the power of the general, and the internal and external courts were still in a political balance. Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian stood in the position of a referee and could completely control the entire court by hitting the strong side. But if Jian Shuo died, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs died, then they would return to the previous court politics and become the general who controlled the entire outer court. It was a head-on battle between the general and the imperial power. Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian were directly exposed to the general He Jin's military front, which was extremely dangerous.

If Cai Yong had not been so diligent in the palace these days, Empress Dowager He might not have realized this problem. When she realized that it was no longer a problem between the He family and the Dong family, but a battle between the He family and the Liu family, she would not be willing to let He Jin kill Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, or she could kill Jian Shuo, but there must be someone to replace Jian Shuo's balance He Jin's position, and this person is her second brother He Miao.

He Miao was originally surnamed Zhu and had no blood relationship with He Jin. Instead, he married the widow with the baby by He Jin's father He Zhen. He Miao had no blood relationship with He Jin, but he was half-brother of Empress Dowager He and the little He family. Judging from the blood relationship, He Miao was closer to Empress Dowager He.

He Jin and He Miao are brothers. He Jin can accept that He Miao will not have any accidents due to dissatisfaction, and can also invisibly divide half of the general's military power. Moisturize things silently and achieve another form of restraint. Even if Dong Hu sees this method, he is extremely impressed.

He Miao entered the palace in a very timely manner. When General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei led dozens of ministers to impeach Jian Shuo's illegal behavior, Empress Dowager He did not make any moves, which was very ambiguous. It was not that she had to save Jian Shuo's life or kill him, but that she was waiting for Jian Shuo to bow to her and surrender to her. As long as Jian Shuo was willing to be loyal to her, she would do anything. It was a pity that until He Miao left, she did not wait for the result she wanted until dark.

Not only did I not wait for the result I wanted, but I waited for dozens of eunuchs to break in, a group of eunuchs holding swords...

"The Empress Dowager has an order!"
