The backyard of the General's Mansion.
Queen Mother He stood under a plum tree and stared at the flowers on the tree.
White snow covered the ground in the yard.
Liu Cheng stood not far behind her.
Queen Mother He reached out and picked off a flower, brought it to her nose, smelled it, and said, "The miracle doctor has diagnosed your Majesty."
Liu Chengdao: "Yes" "Say it, Aijia wants to know the result, no matter what the result is."
Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The miracle doctor said that your Majesty's disease is an innate hidden disease, which was brought from the mother's womb.
It can be cured by non-human medicine and stones."
After hearing this, Queen Mother He was shaken.
When Liu Cheng saw this, he immediately stepped forward to support her.
He could feel that her whole body was weak and weak, and she seemed to be desperate.
However, thinking about it, it was understandable.
She had put all her hope in this.
For a son who is not suitable to be an emperor, he just hopes that he can give birth to a child to succeed the emperor.
If the son is not the material to be an emperor, then let the grandson come.
As long as there are more grandsons, there will always be a talented person who can rebuild the country.
"Queen Mother, it's cold outside, let's go inside," Liu Cheng said, helping Queen Mother He into the house.
There was charcoal burning in the room and it was very warm.
Liu Cheng helped Queen Mother He sit down on the couch and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Warm yourself up, Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager He held the teacup in a daze, and drank slowly and slowly.
After taking a few sips, she asked: "Liu Qing, is it really incurable?"
Liu Cheng shook his head sadly, "Queen Mother, not everyone is born perfect.
God is bound to leave some flaws on people, and non-human beings can change them."
After a long time, Queen Mother He sighed: "The Bian'er Society has no heirs.
Once word spreads about who will inherit this great empire in the future, the consequences will be disastrous.
The hope of the Ai family is gone.
Liu Cheng, what should we do?"
Liu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Queen Mother, to be honest, I don't know what to do.
Your Majesty is still young.
We still have time to think of a solution."
Queen Mother He closed her eyes and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and stared at Liu Chengdao: "Can the Ai family trust you?"
"I swear to be loyal to the Queen Mother to the death," Liu Cheng said, cupping his fists and bowing.
"Get up."
Empress Dowager He raised her hand and said, "The Ai family has carefully considered it.
Since Bian'er is not suitable to be an emperor and does not want to be an emperor, it is better to let him be an ordinary person.
At least he will not have to live a long life."
You and the Aijia are so useless now.
Give birth to a child.
When we eradicate Dong Zhuo and pacify the world, you will be the emperor.
The Ai family does not need to be the queen, but you must agree to the Ai family.
You must make our child the prince and pass the throne to him.
Bian'er will be a happy prince."
Liu Cheng was startled by Queen Mother He's imaginative thinking.

He took a few steps back and said with a pale face: "Queen Mother, please stop joking.
We don't play like this.
This is treason."
Sin, let alone whether we can eradicate Dong Zhuo, pacify the world, and restore the Even if we have achieved this step, His Majesty agrees to the Zen position, future generations will definitely leave Wei Chen with the same conclusion as Huo Guang and Wang Mang; besides, Wei Chen comes from a humble background, how can the Queen Mother give birth to an heir for Wei Chen?
This is so ridiculous, so ridiculous.”
Empress Dowager He said coldly: "Whether this can be done or not, I have never tried it.
How do you know?
You only care about your own reputation.
Have you thought about the Aijia?
Have you thought about the world?
Without the emperor, or the emperor is incompetent, the world is bound to be It is falling apart and fighting, but in the end it is the people who suffer.
Also, you should know that success and failure have always been the rule.
Kou, as long as you succeed, as long as you have enough merits, the people of future generations will automatically ignore your past mistakes.
Do you think that all the previous emperors, including Emperor Qin and Han Wu, are really moral people?
For that throne , they have done so many deplorable and disgusting things secretly, but the world doesn’t know about it.”
"As for the matter of status and inferiority you mentioned, if we want to trace the origins, the Ai family's background is not nobler than yours.
My He family is a family of butchers in Nanyang.
The Ai family became the queen mother not because of the draft by the late emperor.
Don’t forget that your surname is Liu.
I heard from Xiaolian that your ancestors were also members of the clan.
You used birth as an excuse to reject the Ai family.
Did you start to dislike the Ai family when you saw that the Ai family had become old and beautiful?”
Liu Cheng said hurriedly: "No, no, the Queen Mother has misunderstood.
The Queen Mother is more beautiful than before.
I only like her more, how can I dislike it?"
Queen Mother He's face became a little brighter, and she immediately made a decision: "In that case, this matter is settled.
Let's eradicate Dong Zhuo and the annoying family ministers in the court while having children, and we will take care of the next step step by step."
Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Queen Mother, you are playing with fire."
Queen Mother He stood up and walked to Liu Cheng's side.
She said firmly: "We have no hope.
If we don't play with fire, the only way is destruction.
If we play with fire, we may be able to burn out a way.
Even if we don't succeed, we will die in the sea of fire." , If you don’t fight, there will definitely be no good end, but if you try hard, there is still hope, don’t you understand this truth?”
Liu Cheng had to admit that what Empress Dowager He said was reasonable.
Liu Bian could not have children.
If Liu Bian had a shortcoming, fell ill and died, and had no heirs to inherit the throne, then the clan surnamed Liu would inevitably establish itself as emperor or be replaced by others.
People such as Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, Liu Dai, etc. were established as emperors.
At that time, what else would Liu Cheng do?
Liu Cheng knew very well that the reason why he was as strong as he was now was because he firmly supported Liu Bian as the emperor.
After all, Liu Bian was the emperor and had a great reputation.
Although he now controlled tens of thousands of elite troops, his foundation was not enough.
Stable, he must use the banner of Liu Bian to cultivate himself secretly It will take several years for his power to become established.
Without the banner of Liu Bian, his power will collapse in an instant, because only the military regime is the most unstable, just like Lu Bu in previous history. , there was no fixed foundation at the beginning, and they moved around with their troops.
Liu Cheng had no choice but to compromise and said: "Let's get rid of Dong Zhuo first."
"Also, have a baby."

Liu Cheng looked at the longing eyes of Queen Mother He and sighed in his heart: "Thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger.
The ancients would not deceive me."
He had no choice but to bend down and carry Queen Mother He towards the bed.
The second year of Chuping had just passed, and on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Chuping, Queen Mother He asked her maid Xiaolian to invite Liu Cheng over.
Liu Cheng arranged military affairs and soon came to the backyard of the mansion.
"Queen Mother" Liu Cheng walked over, bowed and clasped his fists and called.
Queen Mother He was looking at a scroll of bamboo slips, raised her head and said, "Have you decided on the wedding date for you and the two young ladies of the Qiao family?"
"It's decided, on the second day of February, the dragon will raise its head," Liu Cheng replied.
Empress Dowager He put down the bamboo slips and said: "The Ai family should live elsewhere.
You can help the Ai family find another house.
The concubine and the main wife will never get along well.
Sooner or later, conflicts will arise.
The Ai family is an unbearable family."
Those who are angry don’t want to make everyone’s faces look bad when the time comes.
As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind, so there won’t be any problems if the Ai family lives elsewhere.”
Liu Cheng thought that this would be fine.
If Queen Mother He was allowed to live with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao would probably see the problem sooner or later with his cleverness, and it would be bad by then.
He agreed: "Yes" "Also, you have to go to the Ai family every two days.
The Ai family is also a woman with a husband.
She doesn't want to be a widow alone."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Weichen promised to go often.
He may go for several days in a row, or he may go once every two, three, or four or five days.
The time cannot be too fixed.
If it is too regular, it will easily be caught by the enemy.
Chance" "good" Two days later, Liu Cheng and Queen Mother He both arrived at a quiet house in a carriage wearing casual clothes.
The carriage entered the yard directly from the side door of the house, and then the gate was closed.
Liu Cheng helped Queen Mother He out of the carriage and said, "This is it."
Queen Mother He walked around the house and found that although the house was not luxurious, it was low-key and grand, with a large area, including ponds, flower beds, lawns, and corridors.
She asked: "Who lived here before?"
Liu Chengdao: "Dazai Ling Wang Hui colluded with Yuan Shao, and was suspected of treason and murder of Dong Zhuo.
Two months ago, his whole family was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the house became empty.
Wei Chen sent someone to find the Chang'an County Government.
Bought it” Queen Mother He stopped and turned around and asked: "Is Wang Hui really colluding with Yuan Shao, or is he being implicated?"
Liu Chengdao: "Pull out the carrots and bring out the mud.
Wang Hui is not innocent or wronged.
He did collude with Yuan Shaoyou.
It doesn't matter that the Queen Mother lives here.
The minister has ordered people to clean the place and asked Taoist priests to do it."
The maids and servants are all ready and Liao Hua, come here."
I saw a young general in armor and helmet walking over with his sword in hand, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "General" Liao Hua was captured by Liu Cheng when he led his army to attack Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling.
Liao Hua was originally the leader of a group of yellow scarf thieves in Runan.
He led his people to plunder the territory of Liang and fell into the hands of Liu Cheng.
After the battle, Liao Hua's men were killed and fled, and he himself was captured by Liu Cheng.
He admired Liu Cheng's unparalleled martial arts and even became a horseman for Liu Cheng.
You must know that although Liao Hua is a top military general, he can be regarded as a second-rate master.

General military generals are really no match for him, and this man is still very loyal, so Liu Cheng decided to let him be the commander of the guards at the Queen Mother's house.
He has one hundred and twenty elite soldiers, equipped with swords, guns, bows, arrows and armor.
Liu Cheng introduced to Queen Mother He: "Madam, this is Liao Hua.
He will lead the guards to protect the safety of his wife and the house."
Liao Hua immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Queen Mother He: "Liao Hua pays homage to Madam" Queen Mother He nodded and said with a smile: "From now on, the safety of my wife and all the servants and maids in the house will be left to General Liao and these brothers."
“Liao Hua and his brothers vowed to protect his wife’s safety to the death”:
