Zhao Chun looked around and said to Liu Cheng: "General, your Majesty heard what happened in Chengming Hall this morning.
He was very frightened and uneasy.
The servants and others can't persuade him no matter what.
I'm afraid only the general can do it."
Your Majesty, please feel at ease.”
Liu Cheng also knew that what happened in Chengmingtang in the morning would definitely reach Liu Bian's ears, so he could also order to block the news.
Unexpectedly, the news still reached Liu Bian's ears.
Liu Bian naturally reacted after hearing the news.
Unable to sit still, he immediately said: "Okay, we will enter the palace immediately."
Liu Cheng quickly followed Zhao Chun to the palace.
After entering the palace, Liu Cheng whispered to Zhao Chun: "In the future, Dong Zhuo is afraid that he will regard me as a thorn in his side and find ways to deal with me.
I must be careful.
If I am not in the palace "When Your Majesty wants to summon me, one of you, father-in-law or Zhao You or Li Xun, must come to look for me in person.
I will not recognize the others.
Do you understand?"
Zhao Chun nodded and said: "Be careful when sailing the Ten Thousand Years Ship.
The general's caution is justified.
I will tell them both later."
At the gate of Jiade Hall, Liu Cheng met Yan Xing.
After Min Gong was killed, Liu Cheng ordered Yan Xing to take over Liu Bian's security work.
"Is there anything unusual in the palace?"
Yan Xingdao: "In the afternoon, Dong Zhuo's general Li Su said that he had taken over as Huben Zhonglang General and wanted to take over the military power, but I beat him away."
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "If you beat him away, he will be beaten away.
Is it possible that he will really dominate the palace?
Whenever he dares to come, you will beat him again and again and let him be a short-term tiger."
General Lang is still here, and during this period, His Majesty must not relax on the security matters."
Yan Xing cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I have ordered Xia Chaozong and I to take turns guarding His Majesty, never leaving.
There are at least 500 fixed guards and patrols around the hall, divided into three defense circles, with Dong Zhuo's two It is impossible for the palace guards to break through the three defense circles and reach His Majesty in a short time with that small force."
"Okay, but you still have to be careful and vigilant.
All abnormal things must be suspected and checked."
"clear" Entering the Nuan Pavilion of Jiade Hall, Liu Cheng saw not only Liu Bian, but also Princess Liu Ying of Tang Dynasty and Princess Liu Xie of Chenliu.
Standing next to them were two old eunuchs Zhao You and Li Xun.
These two people saluted Liu Cheng. : "Meet the Emperor's uncle" Liu Cheng lifted up the hem of his clothes and saluted Liu Bian: "I pay homage to your majesty and meet the princess."
Liu Bian immediately got up and ran over, knelt down in front of Liu Cheng and cried: "Uncle, you are here.
I heard that Dong Zhuo decided to depose me and make another emperor the emperor at the Chengming Hall meeting.
Is it true?"
After the death of Empress Dowager He, there were no elders in the royal family in the palace.
Even if there were any, they were only the concubines of Emperor Ling.
They had no blood relationship with Liu Bian, Liu Xie and others.
They were unable to protect themselves.
Liu Bian could not count on them.
Now Liu Distinguish between two The brothers are young, and Princess Wannian is only one year older than Liu Bian.
No wonder Liu Bian is now in panic.
Liu Cheng understands Liu Bian's current situation and state of mind, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't cry.
Don't cry."

Urgent, get up first and then talk.”
Under Liu Cheng's persuasion, Liu Bian finally stopped crying and sat back down.
Liu Cheng sat down on the stool brought by Zhao Chun and said to Liu Bian, Concubine Tang, Princess Wannian and Liu Xie: "This morning , Dong Zhuo obtained the acquiescence of the Sangong, Jiuqing and other ministers and took control of the government.
He also proposed to depose His Majesty and replace him with King Chenliu.
Mingong was killed by Dong Zhuo because of his opposition.
Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao were also forced to leave by Dong Zhuo because of their opposition.
Ding Yuan objected, and Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him, but he gave up for the time being because he was afraid of the force of Ding Yuan's generals, and the court meeting could not continue. , this is the detailed story of the matter, but don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will never let him succeed."
Princess Wannian stared at Liu Cheng and asked: "Uncle, why didn't you object to Dong Zhuo when you were there?
There were only eunuchs on duty around the Chengming Hall, and there were no soldiers and horses to guard it.
Why didn't you just kill Dong Zhuo to avoid future troubles?"
Liu Cheng turned his head and looked at Princess Wannian, thinking that it was just a little pepper, so he smiled and said: "Princess, how do you know that I don't object?
The reason why I don't object is because I don't have a chance.
Besides, the confrontation between the two forces must be fought against each other.
General, king versus king, Dong Zhuo sent out a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals to ask me, the right general, to take action.
Isn't it like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife?
Dong Zhuo was stopped by Ding Yuan.
Naturally, there is no need for the minister to take action again for the time being.
In addition, the princess asked the minister why he didn't kill Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is not that easy to kill.
He is not alone every time he travels.
He is also surrounded by generals and soldiers and horses.
Once he cannot kill Dong Zhuo at once, he will wait until Dong Zhuo escapes back to the army.
Luoyang City will fall into war again, and I and others must consider the safety of His Majesty, Tang Concubine, Princess, King Chenliu and the entire people of Luoyang City, and cannot put His Majesty in danger."
Princess Wannian's face suddenly turned red after hearing Liu Cheng's words.
She knew that her knowledge was too short and she didn't understand many things.
Obviously the political struggle was not as simple as she imagined, so she stopped talking.
At this time, Concubine Tang said: "Uncle, if Dong Zhuo doesn't succeed this time, he will definitely not give up.
He will definitely propose to depose the emperor again.
What should we do?"
Liu Cheng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Tang.
As long as I am here, I will not allow Dong Zhuo to do such a heinous act.
Now there are more than 3,000 Hu Ben Army and Yu Lin Army in the palace, and Dong Zhuo only has 1,000 people in the palace."
Man, this small force is not enough for Your Majesty, your Majesty, and your Majesty.
The Lord and His Highness pose no threat, and I still control 20,000 troops of the Northern Army.
Although Dong Zhuo has more troops than I do, he may not be able to win if there is a fight.
If he is not absolutely sure, he will not and will not Dare to risk everything and fight to the end with me."
Liu Bian was still quite worried, and said to Liu Cheng: "Uncle Emperor, since Dong Zhuo wants to make Xie the emperor, let's make Xie the emperor.
Anyway, I can't be the emperor, let alone don't want to be the emperor, so I might as well do what he wants.
I wish, as long as the throne is still in the Liu family, there's nothing wrong with it."
After hearing this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but look at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie said hurriedly: "Brother Emperor, I don't want to be the emperor.
How can I take the throne from my brother?
This is not what a younger brother should do."
Liu Cheng looked at the two brothers and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be solved by your Majesty abdicating the throne.
Dong Zhuo's purpose is not to make anyone the emperor, but to depose your Majesty and establish a new emperor.

With the intention of increasing your prestige and controlling the power of the world, Your Majesty thought that Dong Zhuo would let you go if you stopped being emperor.
Would you feel at ease?
Are you a minister who obeys the new emperor's edict?
After Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, he would not let you go in order to solve the future troubles, nor would he obey the new emperor's will with peace of mind.
The new emperor only had a false name and no real power.
Dong Zhuo could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, this is not a matter of giving up the throne.
Your Majesty, just rest assured.
As long as I am not dead, Dong Zhuo will not dare to do anything to you."
Liu Bian felt a little relieved after hearing this, and then remembered something and said: "My mother has been buried for a few days, and there is no posthumous title yet.
I would like to ask the ministers when they will give my mother a posthumous title."
Liu Chengdao: "This matter is too common.
Ma Rixi has already discussed it with the ministers, so he took Lingsi as his posthumous title.
I don't know what your majesty thinks."
The posthumous title of the queen after her death must be consistent with the emperor's posthumous title.
For example, Liu Hong's posthumous title is Emperor Xiaoling, and he had two queens during his lifetime.
The first one was Empress Song, who had no children; the second one was Empress He, who was the emperor of Song Dynasty.
The queen's posthumous title was Empress Xiaoling.
Because Empress Dowager He was the second empress, the posthumous title could no longer use Xiaoling, but it had to contain the word "ling", so the ministers gave her the posthumous title Lingsi.
Some emperors canonized several queens during their lifetime.
The posthumous names of these queens after their death may not be exactly the same as that of the emperor, but they must have one of the most important characters in the emperor's posthumous name.
For example, Emperor Xianfeng's posthumous name is "Xian Huangdi".
When he was a prince, he had a direct descendant named Fujin.
After Xianfeng ascended the throne, her posthumous title was Empress Xiao Dexian.
Later, the posthumous titles of Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi were Empress Xiaozhenxian and Empress Xiaoqinxian respectively.
"Lingsi" Liu Bian recited it once, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I will use Lingsi as my mother's posthumous name."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, I have something that I must discuss with your Majesty.
Now that Dong Zhuo has become powerful, although he is afraid of the 20,000 troops in my hands, there are already many ministers in the court who want to Bao Ming has surrendered to him.
The situation has begun to be controlled by him.
I think it is useless for us to resist him at this stage.
It will only make those people with ulterior motives watch the fun and benefit them.
We can make concessions to Dong Zhuo.
Since he wants to monopolize power, then.
Let him get what he deserves I hope that as long as Dong Zhuo still respects your majesty as the lord of the world, there is no harm in allowing him to temporarily take charge of the government.
I would like to ask your majesty to retire to the North Palace to show that he has delegated power to Dong Zhuo.
On the day of the court meeting, your majesty should return to the court, but there is no need to speak.
When asking questions about government affairs, ministers will ask Dong Zhuo asked for an explanation, and his majesty will not be wronged.
Your majesty can do some things you like in the North Palace and do as he pleases.
If your majesty wants to go out of the palace to play in casual clothes, you can, but you need to send someone to inform me first, and I will send someone.
Guard to ensure His Majesty’s safety.”
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Cheng's words.
By retreating to the Beigong, he would not have to face Dong Zhuo every day.
He only had to attend the court on the first and fifteenth day of each month instead of the regular court.
This would reduce a lot of pressure and also save him.
He can do what he likes and go out to play in the palace.

This is a good arrangement for Liu Bian.
He immediately agreed: "That's very good, that's very good."
At this time, Concubine Tang said: "Uncle, I have something unclear."
"Concubine Tang, please speak."
Concubine Tang thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that the emperor will let Dong Zhuo continue to control the important weapons of the country and bring disaster to the country and the people?
His wings are not full now.
Waiting for him to completely control the world, just with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the emperor's hands, what can he do?
It would be very easy for him to depose His Majesty."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Madam, Dong Zhuo doesn't have the courage and style to rule the world.
Judging from his behavior and methods, he is at most just a clown who jumps on the stage to grandstand.
From now on, the DPRK will On the surface, there may not be any more backlash For his people, there will definitely be many people who will undermine him secretly.
He will only become more and more tired of dealing with it, and I will not be idle.
His majesty and empress must trust me. , Only when the monarch and his ministers are united can we work together to defeat Dong Zhuo."
Liu Bian nodded: "Yes, I believe in the emperor's uncle":
