The young emperor raised his hand and said, "Liu Yishi is free."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Liu Cheng shouted again and stood up.
The young emperor asked: "Liu Yishi, you were instrumental in rescuing the driver yesterday.
Have you decided what reward you want?"
Liu Cheng asked back: "I don't know what your majesty can give to the common people."
Many of the civil and military ministers laughed when they saw Liu Cheng asking this question.
Some people were very unhappy, thinking that he shouldn't ask this, and should be more modest.
He should just accept whatever the emperor rewards him.
Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, who was standing near the young emperor, said in a childish voice: "Liu Zhuang can choose from official positions, titles, property, fields and servants.
As long as Liu Zhuang can choose, the emperor can afford the reward."
Liu Cheng immediately said: "Then I'd better choose to be an official."
"Hahaha!"
The civil and military ministers in the court burst out laughing.
They had never seen such an interesting person.
He asked the emperor to ask for an official position, and he didn't look embarrassed at all when he said this.
Seeing everyone laughing, Liu Cheng suddenly became a little "angry".
He glared at these people and said angrily: "Why are you laughing?
Your Majesty wants to reward me.
King Chenliu asked me to choose.
What's wrong with me choosing to be an official?
What if you don't?"
You covet official position, why are you still standing here?"
When the ministers saw that he had never seen the world, they didn't care about him.
They just regarded him as a commoner who suddenly got such great benefits and couldn't adapt.
The guard Yang Biao stood up and bowed to the young emperor and said: " Your Majesty, since Liu Cheng wants to be an official, let him be rewarded with an official position.
There are some vacancies in the Yin Mansion in Henan.
Let him be a small official first to learn how to be an official.
If he has talent, he will be promoted without delay."
When the young emperor was about to agree, Queen Mother He, who was sitting next to her, came over and whispered: "Bian'er, you also saw it last night.
This Liu Cheng has good martial arts and is quite courageous.
Now we two have no credibility and courage in the army."
The available people inside and outside the palace are either Dong Zhuo's soldiers or people from aristocratic families.
There are still some people who are undecided.
Your second uncle is watched by aristocratic families again. , There is no way to escape.
Apart from Mingong, the Yi family and you have no one else to use.
If we don't cultivate some cronies, how can we save ourselves in the future?
General Lang, we still have our mother and son to protect us.
Even though Liu Xie is young, he is actually very thoughtful.
We must prevent him from wooing Liu Cheng."
Liu Bian himself had no idea, he was weak-tempered, and it was his mother's suggestion.
He immediately agreed and said to the ministers and Liu Cheng: "Liu Cheng, I saw yesterday that you are good at martial arts.
There is a shortage in the palace."
If you are able to protect me, you will stay in the palace to protect the safety of me and my mother.
I will appoint you as the Lieutenant General of Yulin, command the Yulin Guards, and enter the title of Anyibo.
You will be rewarded with ten pieces of brocade and a hundred gold."

After saying this, he stood up and left.
Your Majesty.
Eunuch Pan Yin immediately shouted: "Retreat from the court" From a commoner to a minister, some ministers wanted to object, but at this time the emperor had already stood up and left, so they could only bow down and shout: "Bear your majesty off."
Liu Cheng was a little dumbfounded, this is wrong, I haven't agreed yet.
Looking at Dong Zhuo again, the tough guy didn't object.
He thought about it and immediately understood that Dong Zhuo only had a few thousand soldiers and horses in his hands now.
Compared with the tens of thousands of troops of the school, the Chengmen School Lieutenant and part of the Northern Army combined, their strength is somewhat weak, and the defenders The Imperial Guards of the Wei Palace were killed and dispersed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang and others yesterday, with numerous casualties.
Now I am afraid that there are only a few original soldiers left in the palace.
Although the position of Lieutenant General Yu Lin is not low, Yu Lin's position is not low.
Lin Jun was killed and dispersed long ago last night.
Now he is just a bare commander and a bodyguard leader without any subordinates.
Liu Cheng came back to his senses, slapped himself in the face, and cursed in his heart.
He kept doing it, but in the end he still couldn't get rid of his identity as a bodyguard.
All the ministers left in the blink of an eye.
Liu Cheng was still in a daze when a eunuch came over and said, "General Liu, the Queen Mother invites you."
"Queen Mother" Liu Cheng remembered the scene when Queen Mother He whispered in Liu Bian's ear just now, and guessed that the reward Liu Bian just gave him was probably the Queen Mother He's idea.
It seemed that the Queen Mother He also understood that the situation between the emperor and her was very bad. , wanting to win over and cultivate some forces to fight against foreign ministers.
He thought for a moment and agreed: "Please, father-in-law, lead the way."
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Liu Cheng walked through twists and turns in the imperial garden and came to a pavilion.
Queen Mother He was sitting on the bench of the pavilion feeding the fish swimming in the pond in front of her.
Liu Cheng stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Liu Cheng pays homage to the Queen Mother."
"Master Liu, you should call yourself a minister now.
General Yu Linzhonglang is a minister with a rank as high as two thousand stones."
Queen Mother He said and threw all the remaining fish food into the pond.
She turned around, clapped her hands and looked at Liu Cheng.
She looked at Liu Cheng and asked, "Liu Cheng, you don't seem to be very willing to be Ren Yulin."
I hold the position of Zhonglang General, but I don’t want to protect the safety of His Majesty and the Ai family.
Don’t you want to obey the imperial edict?”
The Queen Mother He was extremely beautiful.
She was less than thirty years old.
It was the most beautiful moment for a woman.
However, Liu Cheng was not in the mood to appreciate it at this moment.
He suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "The Queen Mother, You are causing me trouble.
I want to be an official, but I don’t want to be an official in the palace. , Besides, there are not many imperial guards in the palace, and I am just a bachelor.
Yesterday, I killed so many Xiliang soldiers.
Sooner or later, Dong Feifei will find out about this.
It will be too dangerous for me to stay in this palace.
Well, Queen Mother, you’d better do well and ask Your Majesty to issue a new decree to release me as an official.”
Queen Mother He's face turned cold, she stared at Liu Cheng and said, "The Ai family just want to ask you if you don't want to obey the imperial edict?"
It was a serious crime to disobey the imperial edict.
As long as he said yes, he would be taken out and beheaded immediately.
Liu Cheng was not stupid.
He quickly bowed and saluted: "I don't dare.
I just don't want Dong Zhuo to use me as an excuse to target your majesty." and the Queen Mother" Queen Mother He stood up slowly and walked towards Liu Cheng.
She didn't know whether it was accidental or intentional, but her feet went soft, and she screamed "Ah!"

and rushed towards Liu Cheng.
In a hurry, Liu Cheng instinctively stretched out his hand to hug her.
He only felt a burst of fragrance, and the skin where he started was as smooth as nephrite.
Only then did he realize that the Queen Mother He was so tall.
She was really tall and tall.
Plump and moist, I also remembered that the historical records recorded that the Queen Mother He was seven feet tall.
Now that I saw it, it was indeed true.
With her delicate body in his arms, Liu Cheng was a little shaken, unable to control himself, and almost made a fool of himself on the spot.
The Empress Dowager He had very clearly seen Dong Zhuo's power and disobedience yesterday.
When she saw the emperor, she didn't even get off her horse to pay homage.
She even shouted loudly and asked who the emperor was.
How could such a person be a kind person?
She knew she had to find him.
A capable person stayed in the palace to protect him, otherwise Dong Zhuo might do something wrong, and Liu Cheng had a clean background, clean wealth, strong martial arts skills, and a little bit of prowess, so he was just the right candidate.
She leaned close to Liu Cheng, exhaled like a blue breath, and said word by word: "General Liu, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?
Do you think Dong Zhuo can't find you if you are sent as an official, so there is nothing you can do about it?
Escape is not the case.
What a man should do is that the Ai family treats the ministers outside the palace.
I can't believe it, and I can't stay in the palace to protect you if you are trustworthy.
As long as you have a clean background and are capable, the Ai family and Your Majesty are already orphans and widowers.
Could General Liu have the heart to watch the Ai family and His Majesty suffer the consequences of Dong Zhuo and the palace?
Are you being insulted by those ministers outside?"
Liu Cheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He was not frightened by what Queen Mother He said before, but by Queen Mother He's intentions.
She was using a beauty trap.
He knew in his heart that what Queen Mother He said was not unreasonable, but this woman was not a light-saving person.
The reason why she said this was just to draw him around and use him, but if he was not used by others, value, that means he is incompetent.
Okay, since you want to use me, I will also use you.
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said to the Queen Mother He: "Queen Mother, I am willing to serve as the Lieutenant General of Yulin, and I am willing to protect the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, but with my own strength Unable to resist Dong Zhuo, the guards around Your Majesty are too weak.
Today, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are These guarding soldiers were all from Mingong and Lu Zhi.
These two people should be trustworthy, but the number of troops was too small.
The palace was already under Dong Zhuo's control.
These less than 200 people could not compete with Dong Zhuo's thousands of troops.
Therefore, I need to replenish the men of the Yulin Guards, otherwise I will not be able to fight against Dong Zhuo."
Liu Cheng knew that at this time he must control some of the troops to protect himself before Dong Zhuo controlled all the military power in Luoyang City, otherwise he would only be a lamb to be slaughtered even by the emperor's side.
And his enemy is not only Dong Zhuo, but also Chun Yuqiong.
Chun Yuqiong is Yuan Shao's people, so Yuan Shao is about to become his enemy.
Both Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao are people he can't afford to offend at the moment.
With military power in hand, just one word can kill him without a burial place.
After listening to Liu Cheng's words, Queen Mother He knew that this was the reality, but she had no good way.
The reason why she wanted to win over Liu Cheng was because Liu Cheng had a clean background and strong martial arts skills.
He was a rare warrior.
She simply She didn't believe Dong Zhuo and the ministers outside.
She had been the queen for so many years.
She could see clearly that those people from aristocratic families said that they would humiliate their ministers to death, but in fact, at the critical moment, they only cared about their own interests, as long as it was not good for them. , they can change the emperor at any time.

Her eldest brother He Jin is dead, her mother Wuyang Jun is outside the palace and has little influence.
Her second brother He Miao is being closely watched by He Jin's generals and cannot be counted on.
At present, Liu Cheng is the only one she can capture.
Seeing a life-saving straw, she asked: "Is there any way Liu Qing can expand the emperor's protection force?"
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Queen Mother, if I can get your majesty's decree, I can go out of the palace with your majesty's decree and take over the military power of the right school of Xiyuan to act as a palace guard."
Empress Dowager He frowned: "Why only accept military power from the right school?
Couldn't the other schools and the Northern Army also be able to do so?"
Liu Cheng's predecessor was also a well-informed person in Luoyang City, and he often traveled outside.
He knew some of the situations in Luoyang City.
He said: "Queen Mother, at this time, in addition to the troops brought by Dong Zhuo, there are also City Guards and Xiyuan inside and outside Luoyang City.
The Eighth School and the First Division of the Northern Army.
His Majesty has appointed Wu Qiong as the city gate captain, and Wu Qiong was recommended by Dong Zhuo.
I suspect that Wu Qiong is Dong Zhuo's man, so the city guards will definitely not be able to move."
Queen Mother He was shocked: "Aijia is self-defeating."
Liu Cheng continued: "Part of the Northern Army is currently stationed north of the Imperial City, and the rest is led by Huangfu Songtong to station in Guanzhong to confront Han Sui and others.
As soon as the general died, your brother Chariot General He Miao became like this.
Commander-in-Chief of a large army, considering your current situation, Queen Mother, it is the best choice to transfer a section of the Northern Army to the palace to take charge of guarding the palace.
However, the ministers of the DPRK will definitely not agree.
They do not want to have the exclusive power of foreign relatives again."
"Since the Xiyuan Army Jian Shuo and the general were killed one after another, most of the military power of the upper army, lower army, and guard army fell into the hands of the general's subordinate Wang Kuang.
How useful it is.
The Chinese army is controlled by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao is a representative of the family and cannot be used. .
It is said that Wang Kuang believed that the death of the general was caused by the cavalry general He Miao colluding with Zhang Rang and others.
He also believed that the Queen Mother had maintained a tacit attitude, so he was very resentful of the cavalry general and the Queen Mother, so this person was not trustworthy and This person has too many soldiers and horses and is very strong, so he cannot move easily."
"The guard army is divided into four divisions, the Zuojun, the Right Xiao, the Zuojun Zuoxiao and the Zuojun Right Xiao.
Among them, the Zuojun Zuojun Zhao Rong, the Zuojun right colonel Feng Fang and the Zuojun Xia Mou are all charioteers.
General He Miao's people, right captain Chunyu Qiong is Yuan Shao's lackey."
"The only one we can make up our mind is the Right Colonel.
The Colonel Chun Yuqiong sent troops to burn, kill and loot in the city last night, causing a large number of casualties and injuries to the people and burning down the houses.
Moreover, he was seriously injured by the minister before he came to the palace and was unable to serve as director.
As long as we are fast enough we can master this Only Chun Yuqiong has the means to control the troops and horses, and most of the soldiers in this army participated in the robbery.
At this time, they must be in panic and fear of being investigated by the court.
As long as His Majesty issues a pardon, plus My efforts will definitely make them return to their hearts.”
Queen Mother He raised her eyes and looked at Liu Cheng.
After careful observation, she found that Liu Cheng was tall, quite burly, and very brave in appearance.
She did not expect that this man had such insight.
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth and asked Said: "Chun Yuqiong has a grudge against you":
