I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 57

Around six o'clock in the morning, after Liu Bian finished his handwriting practice for the day, he played chess with Cai Yan when he had nothing to do, and waited for the action of Hussar General Dong Zhong.

Although Cai Yan claims to know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in fact his chess skills are only a little bit better than Liu Bian, unlike those doctors and classics students who studied in Hongdu School. As long as you are serious, you can win as many points as you want, Liu Bian and Cai Yan have no chance of winning.

And when Liu Bian and Cai Yan were sitting opposite each other on the chessboard, Zhao Chun hurried in and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, just now the Great General and Marquis of Jiyang quarreled in front of Your Majesty."

"..."

A look of astonishment and confusion appeared on Cai Yan's face, obviously he did not understand why brothers He Jin and He Miao quarreled.

But Liu Bian knew it well. He paused his movements, frowned and asked, "What about now? Are you still with Father?"

"Do not."

Zhao Chun shook his head and said, "According to people, Zhang Changshi sent someone to inform the Empress, and the Empress rushed to bring the two uncles to Changqiu Palace."

Seeing this, Liu Bian stood up, leaned over and kissed Cai Yan on the face as he passed by Cai Yan: "Be good and wait for me to come back before I fight with you."

Cai Yanxu had gotten used to Liu Bian taking advantage of her from time to time, rolled his eyes and showed a speechless expression, but didn't have time to ask Liu Bian why he was going to Changqiu Palace.

Why?

Naturally, to fan the flames.

This fire was started by him, how could he let it go out so easily?Because of this, He Miao must have a grudge against He Jin.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Most people in the world want their relatives to be harmonious, but when he came here, he had to personally separate the two uncles. This is really...

But there is no way, after all, He Jin is too close to scholars, and he doesn't even know his butt is crooked.

Laughing at himself, Liu Bian brought Zhao Chun to the Changqiu Palace in a hurry, and broke into the palace without waiting for the palace guards to inform him.

But at this time in the palace, Empress He had already blamed the two elder brothers: "...Elder Brother, Second Brother, why are you two arguing in front of His Majesty, and let the old woman in Yongle Palace see the joke for nothing? ?”

Hearing this, He Jin also recalled Dong Zhong's gloating expression before, and his heart became more and more angry. After finding a chair to sit down, he pointed at He Miao and said bitterly, "Ask him!"

Empress He hurriedly asked He Miao, and He Miao told her sister what had happened.

Empress He also felt very headache when she heard this, let's not say who is right and who is wrong, after all Dong Zhuo and Guan Yu are both subordinates of his He family.

At this time, He Jin patted the armrest of the seat and scolded He Miao angrily, "Dong Zhuo was born in a prominent family in Longxi, and he is well-known in China. Now he is worshiped as the governor of Hedong. He has dozens of generals and staff members under his command. With the military power of the Hedong army, what about Guan Yu? He relied on his elder brother Liu Bei as a disciple of Lu Zhi, so he was granted the title of Sima of the other tribe for nothing. For the sake of a mere Sima of the other tribe, do you want Dong Zhuo to be renounced against me? Dong Zhong, what should I do?"

He Miao's face was gloomy, and he retorted: "Brother, Guan Yu is not a 'Biebu Sima'. When Shihou recommended him to my subordinates that day, I didn't care at first, but after meeting him, I knew he was a fierce general. ...Now under Zhu Jun's tent, Guan Yu is the only one who killed the traitor Huang Yan, and because his official position is no better than Dong Zhuo's, is he going to be wronged?"

"you!"

He Jin pointed at He Miao, and said angrily: "Liu Bei and Guan Yu are your subordinates, and their official positions are recommended by you. Even without them, you and I can still control Jingyin, but Dong Zhuo's Hedong prefect is different. If he is disappointed because of this, Being attracted by Dong Zhong is Dong Zhong's strong foreign aid, do you understand?!"

"..."

He Miao didn't say a word, after all, He Jin's concern was really justified.

At this moment, Liu Bian led Zhao Chun into the hall and said loudly regardless of the occasion: "I support the second uncle!"

Several people in the hall turned their heads to look at Liu Bian, Empress He said with a bit of reproach: "Bian'er, don't interrupt, your two uncles are discussing important matters."

Contrary to Empress He's expectation, Liu Bian said with a clear face: "My mother, my child knows, isn't it the matter of Dong Zhuo and Guan Yu? The mother forgot, my child has been studying with Master Lu in the Chongde Hall every afternoon. Reviewing the memorials, I saw those memorials earlier than my uncle and second uncle!"

Only then did Empress He remember that there was still such a stubble, and she called her son to her side with a look of relief, and patted the latter's head lovingly.

It has to be said that Liu Bian's performance in the palace during this time really made her, a mother, feel proud, although what she knew was only superficial things about Liu Bian, such as Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others kept praising her in front of her. As for Liu Bian's secret tricks, such as creating an internal confrontation among the Shichangshi, people like Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and others were actually suspicious, but No one ever mentioned it.

"Uncle, uncle."

Faced with Empress He's approaching behavior, although Liu Bian had accepted that this was his mother, the overly intimate behavior still made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he avoided it by saluting to He Jin and He Miao.

I have to say that both He Jin and He Miao attach great importance to his nephew. No, even He Jin, who was full of anger before, put away his anger at this moment, forced a smile, and nodded towards Liu Bian In response.

He didn't want to argue with He Miao in front of Liu Bian, a junior, but Liu Bian came here for this reason. After greeting He Jin, he took the lead in attacking He Jin: "Uncle, how can you remove Guan Yu from his official position? You know me I love Guan Yu the most."

"Bian'er." Empress He scolded, "Why are you talking to your uncle?"

"Mother's Queen." Liu Bian pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "It's all my fault that Uncle did it too unethically. Not only did he cover up Dong Zhuo's indiscriminate killing of innocent people, but he actually wanted to make Guan Yu lose his official position. What did Guan Yu do wrong? I just want to prevent Dong Zhuo's soldiers from killing innocent people indiscriminately..."

After that, he turned his head to look at He Jin, and pretended to be angry and said: "I saw the memorial before and wanted to punish Dong Zhuo severely, but Master Lu said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, so he left the matter to the uncle and the second uncle to discuss on their own. Unexpectedly, my uncle is so selfish and only wants to protect his own subordinates. Why doesn’t my uncle think about it, Guan Yu is also a subordinate of my second uncle! If Guan Yu is sent out even though he has made no mistakes, what do you want others to think of his second uncle? ? How will the second uncle gain a foothold in the court in the future?"

"..."

He Miao glanced at He Jin without leaving a trace.

"Bian'er." Empress He blamed him again, then looked at He Jin and said, "Bian'er is young and vigorous, brother, don't take offense."

Not to mention, He Jin was really not angry, because Liu Bian deliberately acted childish—who cares about children?What's more, this child is his own nephew.

No, instead of being angry, He Jin explained to Liu Bian with embarrassment on his face: "Shi Hou misunderstood, uncle, how could I harm your favorite Guan Yu? Uncle just let him be temporarily dismissed... In this way, I promise you , let’s temporarily dismiss Guan Yu, and then I will recommend him as the captain for a month at most.”

He really wanted to coax his nephew, but Liu Bian was not fooled at all: "No! If Guan Yu is dismissed, everyone will think it is Guan Yu's fault, and he cannot be dismissed! On the contrary, Dong Zhuo is not a good thing when he hears his name, let him go Officer! Remove him from office!"

He Jin smiled bitterly: "Dong Zhuo's position is held by His Majesty, how can he be dismissed?"

While speaking, he frequently winked at Empress He and He Miao, asking them to persuade them on their behalf.

"Bian'er, don't say a few words." Empress He scolded.

And He Miao coughed, and said a few words of persuasion without pain, but in fact he felt secretly refreshed.

That's right, He Jin is the legitimate son of the He family, and he is the priority in everything, and Empress He is also the daughter of the He family, but he, He Miao, is a "foreign surname" at home, and he is not even considered a concubine. He was discriminated against by his neighbors since he was a child. Now that his nephew is supporting him and scolding He Jin severely, how can he be unhappy?

It was He Jin who suffered so much, and Liu Bian couldn't help but smile wryly.

If it were in an ordinary family, if the nephew was so rude, as an uncle, at least he would have to scold him with a straight face, but Liu Bian is not an ordinary nephew, he is the future prince and monarch of the Han Dynasty, unless He Jin Want to learn from Wang Mang, want to learn from his domineering relative Liang Ji, otherwise how could he have a grudge with this nephew?

But Liu Bian was sure of this point, supported He Miao, accused He Jin, no one could persuade him, and forced He Jin to submit.

Some people may ask, if Liu Bian is so unscrupulous and really angered He Jin, what should he do?
In fact, this is better, so that Liu Bian can use the name of "children's anger and revenge" to do something against He Jin, secretly cut He Jin's power, and strengthen He Miao's power.

Even if He Jin found out, he could only smile wryly. He and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu beside him would not doubt Liu Bian's true intentions.

But unfortunately, He Jin seems to be heroic, but in fact he is indecisive by nature. Not to mention being persuaded by Empress He and He Miao to eradicate eunuchs many times in history, Liu Bian deliberately made a big fuss today. Instead of getting angry, he backed down under Liu Bian's pressure Compromise: "...well, well, don't punish Guan Yu, don't punish Guan Yu."

"Punish Dong Zhuo!" Liu Bian said relentlessly.

"Punish! Punish!" He Jin nodded again and again: "Uncle will go back and write a letter, berating Dong Zhuo and scolding him bloody."

"That's good!"

Liu Bian clapped his hands and laughed, but he didn't really force He Jin to dismiss Dong Zhuo's position. After all, Dong Zhuo's position was appointed by Emperor Ling, and He Jin did not have the right to dismiss him.

Moreover, Liu Bian also guarded against Dong Zhuo rebelling in anger when he was dismissed, and defected to Han Sui to counterattack the court. After all, this is not a well-behaved guy.

Keep Dong Zhuo for now, let He Jin reprimand him a little as a warning, and after the Liangzhou rebels and other rebellions in other places are resolved, it will not be too late to deal with Dong Zhuo later.

After a while, He Jin had no choice but to leave Changqiu Palace with a wry smile and shook his head.

Liu Bian was late on purpose, and bid farewell to Empress He with He Miao.

"Second Uncle, we won." He deliberately said to He Miao.

"Hehehe." He Miao nodded with a smile, looking at Liu Bian with a little more affection and affection than before.

Seeing this, Liu Bian took advantage of the situation and said to He Miao: "Second Uncle, I didn't blame you, you are too weak!"

"Weakness?" He Miao was puzzled.

"It's just cowardice." Liu Bian didn't take He Miao's face into consideration at all.

He Miao said helplessly, "We're all a family, why bother to be so stiff?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "I heard that my brothers also have to settle accounts clearly. Uncle has his own interests and considerations, but no matter what, he can't harm your interests. Uncle, you have to learn to be a Think for yourself, you can no longer be bullied by uncle...I support you!"

He Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded with a smile for a while: "Okay, okay."

After a while, the two parted at the fork in the palace.

"Brothers will settle accounts...?"

Watching Liu Bian's leaving back, He Miao thoughtfully, and then left the Han Palace.

On this day, the guards guarding the palace rarely saw a faint smile on the face of Henan Yin.
