After a period of crazy lingering, Liu Cheng lay down panting and motionless.
Queen Mother He closed her eyes and panted violently and asked: "What's wrong with you today?
Are you unhappy because I compromised with Dong Zhuo?"
"Yeah," Liu Cheng hummed in agreement, enjoying the afterglow of pleasure.
In fact, all he could think about was Er Qiao's smile.
Queen Mother He stretched out her arms to hug Liu Cheng, her jade hands slowly caressing and comforting his thick back.
After a long time, after the afterglow of passion, both of them gradually came to their senses, and she said aloud: "I know you are doing it for the good of our mother and son, and want to eradicate the scourge of Dong Zhuo once and for all.
Why don't I want to do that?
But in fact, that's not the case.
It's simple.
Let's not talk about whether we can defeat Dong Zhuo or whether we can kill him.
You should also see the faces of the ministers in the court.
They all have their own plans, and they all have their own plans.
Looking out for their own interests, after Dong Zhuo's powerful strength was revealed, some people were frightened and swayed by Dong Zhuo and wrote to the court.
As long as their interests were not violated, they either had an indifferent attitude or behaved in order to please Dong Zhuo.
For a supportive attitude, take today’s resetting of the Two Palaces Guard Order as an example.
This Shangshu has no impact on the power of Lu Zhi, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others, so Some of them neither supported nor opposed it, but some believed that this would restore the original organizational structure of the palace, so they were vaguely in favor of it.
The only thing this Shangshu violated was Zhang Wen's interests, because Zhang Wen was a Weiwei and a member of the Guards Order of the Two Palaces.
If he was appointed or dismissed without his consent, his power as a guard would be greatly reduced.
But Zhang Wen saw that it was useless for him to object, so he kicked the ball to the Ai family again.
But just watch, Zhang.
Wen will definitely not make life easier for Zhou Ge and Lu Chi recommended by Peng Bo.
If the Yi family does not agree, Dong Zhuo will directly target the Yi family and His Majesty.
If the Yi family agrees to this recommendation, Dong Zhuo will have no reason to target them.
The Aijia and Your Majesty will try to find a way to secure Zhou Ge and Lu Chi's positions.
If they work for him, they will inevitably conflict with Zhang Wen.
Only by letting Dong Zhuo fight with the courtiers can the Aijia and Your Majesty be as stable as Mount Tai."
These words made Liu Cheng couldn't help but look at Queen Mother He in a different light, and these words were extremely heartfelt.
If it weren't for the special relationship between the two of them, he knew that Queen Mother He would never say these words to him. , these words also fully illustrate the political wisdom of Empress Dowager He.
At present, Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian can only adopt this method to protect themselves, instead of directly going into battle naked to confront Dong Zhuo.
Liu Cheng was silent for a while and said: "It seems that the Queen Mother has long planned to let ministers from all parties in the DPRK and China have a fight with Dong Zhuo.
Maybe the Queen Mother is right to do this, but it is really hard to let Dong Zhuo reach into the palace.
It is too dangerous, and Zhou Ge and Lu Chi are not good people, so we need to always be on guard against these two causing chaos in the palace."
Queen Mother He patted Liu Cheng on the back and said: "So I need you to protect me.
Your Yulin Army must not let Dong Zhuo put his hand in."
Liu Cheng turned over and said: "I will keep an eye on the Yulin Army and there will never be any problems.
What I'm worried about is the Northern Army.
Dong Zhuo's methods of wooing the army have been witnessed by you, Queen Mother.
In just one month, the Xiyuan Army time is under his complete control.
If the Northern Army is infiltrated and drawn over by him, his power will be even more powerful and powerful.
To the point where no one can control him, no one in the court would dare to confront him.
The Queen Mother's plan to let all the forces in the court and China compete with Dong Zhuo will fail, and he will be the only one left in the court.
A voice.
By then, his power will be greater than that of the emperor.
Anyone who dares to disobey him will have a bad end."

Liu Cheng knew that Queen Mother He did not have 100% trust and heartfelt trust in him, otherwise she would not fail to mention Hu Benjun.
This woman is not a big-breasted and brainless person, nor does her IQ drop to 100% after having a man.
For a zero woman, men or love will always be in the second place in her heart, and the first place in her heart will always be power.
Queen Mother He asked: "You have the tiger charms of the Northern Army's Tunqi Camp, Yueqi Camp and Infantry Battalion.
Can't you control the Northern Army?
And didn't you install Xu Rong in the Northern Army?"
"Queen Mother, the Tiger Talisman can only be used to mobilize troops.
Xu Rong has just arrived at the Northern Army and has not yet established a firm foothold.
The reason why they still listen to me in the past two days is because they just fought with Dong Zhuo and they still I am a little convinced.
When the influence of this matter passes, they may not listen to me anymore.
Moreover, in terms of military affairs, I have no intention of intervening.
Queen Mother, you know Feng Fang, Xia Mou, Zhao Rong and other Xiyuan troops.
Why would the general work for Dong Zhuo?"
The Queen Mother He has always been unclear about this matter.
Zhao Rong, Xia Mou, Feng Fang and others were all veterans appointed by the late emperor Liu Hong.
How could they easily defect to Dong Zhuo?
This is unreasonable.
She asked: "Why?"
"Because Dong Zhuo sent troops to secretly control their family members.
Once they disobey, Dong Zhuo's butcher knife will fall, and the three families will be destroyed by then.
Under the threat that the family may be exterminated by Dong Zhuo at any time, they were afraid, compromised, and surrendered.
What if Dong Zhuo uses the same method to deal with Xu Rong, Wu Fu and the others?"
Queen Mother He suddenly felt cold all over after hearing this.
Her mind was in a mess at first.
After calming down, she thought for a while and asked: "If you are given the power to command the Northern Army, how long will it take for you to fully control the Northern Army?"
Liu Chengdao: "To control an army, it is not enough to rely closely on the loyalty of the generals.
Once something goes wrong with the generals, the army will fall into chaos.
To control an army, the loyalty of the generals is only On the one hand, it is also necessary to ensure that middle- and high-level officers and low-level military leaders can strictly abide by the military order transmission system.
How terrifying it is that the Xiyuan Army can be mobilized to attack the palace without an imperial edict.
The tiger talisman can mobilize troops, but it cannot tell the soldiers who the enemy is to attack.
Only the emperor's edict can clearly tell the soldiers who they are.
Who is the enemy, not the general?
If all the soldiers could question the military orders of Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, how could the palace coup happen?
If His Majesty issues an edict and appoints me to lead the Northern Army as the right general, I will first clearly issue orders and punishments so that all the soldiers of the Northern Army can strictly abide by military regulations and military disciplines.
This is the first step; the second step is to also start from The military commanders, officers, chief administrators, and military commanders in each school selected some people to cultivate as confidants.
Even if Wu Fu, Zhong Ji, Xu Rong and others were controlled by Dong Zhuo for some reason, they would issue an order.
Even if there are some military orders that are not in line with common sense, the cronies I have cultivated will not obey their orders; the third step is to strengthen the authority of the commander-in-chief.
I will take some measures to strengthen my prestige and power in the Northern Army.
Even if the generals The officers have all rebelled.
As soon as I appear, the soldiers at the bottom will only listen to me and not to the generals and officers.
This will take half a month at the fastest."
Queen Mother He thought for a while and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask His Majesty to issue an edict to let you lead the Northern Army as the right general, take charge of all military affairs of the Northern Army, and make you the Marquis of Anyi":
