Xuande

Chapter 422 Liu Hong decides to take revenge
Empress Dowager Dong was very dissatisfied with Liu Hong's excuse.

She reprimanded Liu Hong angrily.

"You always have so many reasons, so you can't do anything! If you really have the determination and perseverance to do something, why can't you do it? You are the emperor, the supreme being in the world, what's the matter? It can’t be done? Just don’t do anything, so that we have today!”

Liu Hong let out a long sigh.

"It's meaningless to say these things now. The son knows what the mother said. Right now, isn't the son trying to deal with He and Yuan? It's just that they really...they really went too far! They...cough cough cough Cough...cough cough cough cough!"

Speaking of He Jin and Yuan Kai, Liu Hong became angry again and couldn't help coughing. Empress Dowager Dong and Jian Shuo hurriedly helped him out.

After coughing for a while, Liu Hong felt better and then sighed.

"They deceived Yu'er with the prophecy, and recruited troops from outside Luoyang into Luoyang. Now those troops obey He Jin's orders. If Er wants to take them away, it will be quite difficult. There was no such thing in the first place. Now it's even more difficult..."

"So, Hong, do you still want Libian to be the crown prince?"

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Hong and asked this question slowly.

Liu Hong was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

"I really hate the He family, and I don't like Bian because of this, but Bian is also of royal blood after all, and he is the most suitable candidate at present. As for Xie... I really like Xie, but the status of Xie is really not good. If you force him Registering, there will be ups and downs, and it will affect my mother's health in her later years..."

"But if you file a dispute, can I be in peace with the Association?"

Empress Dowager Dong wiped her tears: "It's okay that you are here. If you have any troubles, once He gets power, will he spare me, an old woman, and that poor child of Xie? Have you ever thought about this? Can't you see my hatred?"

Liu Hong slowly reached out to wipe away the tears for Empress Dowager Dong.

"Of course I've thought about it. Isn't the West Garden Army registered for this? For this reason, I abandoned everything and didn't let anyone interfere, just so that the West Garden Army can truly defend the royal family. If I can use the West Garden Army Suppress the He family and eradicate the Yuan family, everything will be fine, if not, the Xiyuan army will be the last support of the mother and the association."

Empress Dowager Dong was a little surprised.

"Hong, are you going to hand over the West Garden Army to the Association?"

"It's too early to talk about that."

Liu Hong laughed and said, "I'll see the situation when I get better. In a word, I will try my best to protect you and Xie, and I will never let you suffer any harm."

Empress Dowager Dong wiped away a few more tears.

"I'm old, and my future well-being is in my son's mind. My son, be careful!"

"I know."

Liu Hong nodded slowly.

Seeing off the Queen Mother Dong, Liu Hong lay on the bed and thought about many things quietly. After Jian Shuo came back, Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo and said, "Jian Shuo, if I die now, you can use it with confidence." Did the Xiyuan Army defeat the He and Yuan forces?"

Jian Shuo looked at Liu Hong in bewilderment, wondering if Liu Hong had taken some wrong medicine, and he went mad here.

"Chen...Chen...Chen must do his best."

"Forget it, it's also embarrassing you."

Liu Hong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After all, you have to face the two founding ministers. It's really too difficult. Even I find it difficult, let alone you. If you can protect yourself, it is already very good."

After another period of silence, Liu Hong suddenly spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better if I got a helper back?"

"Who is the helper His Majesty mentioned?"

"Liu Xuande."

"Liu Xuande?"

Jian Shuo asked suspiciously: "Isn't he working as a Liangzhou shepherd in Liangzhou? He is still in charge of Yizhou's military affairs and has a heavy responsibility. How can he come back? Could it be that His Majesty wants him to end his term and return to Luoyang to take up his post?" Is that possible, but it will take some time, right?"

"I have this idea."

Liu Hong said slowly: "There are not many people I can trust. Xuande is one. He is very capable, has military talents, and has more prestige. If he can come back to Luoyang and be used by me, he will definitely be able to compete against others. Jin and Yuan Wei, in this way, your pressure will not be so great."

Jian Shuo didn't know much about Liu Bei, and he didn't have much contact with him. It's hard to say that this matter will definitely come true, but if Liu Hong trusts Liu Bei, he certainly has nothing to say.

"If His Majesty decides, I have nothing to say. It's just the matter of Liangzhou and Yizhou, and some arrangements may be needed."

"This is a big matter, I need to discuss it with Xuande in detail."

Liu Hong said slowly: "Jian Shuo, find a reliable person to deliver news to Xuande and me. I want to discuss with Xuande about his return to Luoyang to take up a post. This matter must be kept absolutely secret. Before the dust settles, Not to be known to outsiders, you know what I mean."

"I know."

Jian Shuo said slowly, "I will personally check this matter, and I will definitely not let outsiders know about it."

"Ah."

Liu Hong nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Liu Bei can come back, He Jin and Yuan Kai, he feels that there is no need to worry.

However, Liu Hong still has some concerns about making money.

If because of Liu Bei's return, the amount of money earned decreases and the possibility of wanton squandering decreases, Liu Hong will also feel a little bit distressed.

All in all, Liu Hong's current state is that he wants both. He also wants Liu Bei to help him solve Luoyang's affairs, and he also wants Liu Bei to help him maintain the current amount and scale of making money, and continue to pursue higher amounts.

After all, raising a West Garden Army still costs a lot of money.

Liu Hong likes power, but he likes money even more.

Liu Hong is thinking about the longer-term things in the future, and Yuan Wei and He Jin are also celebrating their victory.

They felt that Liu Hong must have realized the direction of the people through this incident, and he would definitely restrain his actions a little bit.

They didn't realize that Liu Hong was different from what they thought from the beginning, so Liu Hong didn't regard the act of gathering soldiers from all directions to Luoyang as a response from the people of the world to He Jin. cheated.

So Liu Hong wanted revenge.

He didn't intend to stop at all, and even prepared to amplify his moves, bringing back a powerful foreign aid, and let this powerful foreign aid give He Jin and Yuan Wei a little shock of Liu Shi.

It can be said that Liu Hong, He Jin and Yuan Kai are engaged in a very strange struggle.

And because he didn't know whether Liu Hong planned to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, even Liu Bei didn't realize how this weird struggle was operated and continued.

Only after receiving a secret contact from Liu Hong, Liu Bei realized that his chance had come.
