I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 154 Let's go back to the palace!

"This person, with family members and concern, will have a weakness, and naturally he will be manipulated by the minister.

Therefore, each family should train dead soldiers from an early age, because they want to be free from worries, and only themselves are the only person they care about.

The same is true of the suggestion that the minister was the Taiwei at the beginning, using the official position as a lure, so that officials from all over Liangzhou sent their sons to Luoyang, the capital, as hostages.

As a result, they were forced to have scruples, and they did not dare to speak words of betrayal easily.

At the same time, it doesn't matter for Jiao Ye, or for other people he meets in the future.

Those who can be influenced by virtue are always gentlemen, but not everyone in this world is a gentleman.

For some ordinary people, pinching his weakness will always be more useful than relying solely on virtue.
It's not great, but it works!

The minister just told Jiao Ye a truth, the minister had already made people watch over his family members, his son, daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren.

If something really happened to him because of the minister, these people would be sent to the Xiang family for protection in the future.

Or if the minister is still alive, he will definitely try his best to plan some family business for this child and ensure his family's future.

But if he insisted on standing with those thieves, the minister might have to kill without warning.

But in this chaotic world, it is very easy to kill or injure ten or eight people, cut off a few children's limbs, goug their eyes and pull out their tongues, and in the end, their lives will be worse than death for the rest of their lives.

With the words of the minister, he will not dare to betray the minister even if he dies, even if he dies, he will have to keep his mouth shut."

These words of Yu Xu have been firmly engraved in his mind until now.

At the same time, from these words, Yu Xu told Liu Long some truths.
Both Deng Sui and Cai Lun tried to tell Liu Long, but Liu Long refused.

"A person may not be afraid of death, but he may not be afraid of pain.

So threatening this person to say what we want to say is not as simple as killing him.

That was the worst of the worst.

The middle strategy is to make his life worse than death, so he let go of his mouth because of the pain.

The best strategy is to let the life in his heart be worse than death, so that his mind can be loosened, so that it can be used by me."

This was when some people in the palace wanted to eat inside and outside, acting as eyeliners for those outside, and telling each other about his mother's every move.

When the empress dowager of the big man really controlled the situation, she immediately began to cleanse the people in the palace, a bloody cleansing!

And it was Cai Lun who presided over this matter.

Back then, Liu Long ran around at will and saw those bloody scenes.

There was no one to comfort him, and Liu Long was not scared out of his nerve because of the blood, just because of those things.

Only then did he feel a little alienated from Cai Lun
But after that incident, Deng Sui told Liu Long these words, which seemed to harden Liu Long's heart on purpose.

But Liu Long didn't want to listen, and didn't bother to move.
"There is a saying in "Han Feizi·Yu Lao" that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest.

Whether it is the old Qin people who ruled the world and rebuilt the world.

It was still my great man established by the great ancestor Gaozu who swept the world and competed in the Central Plains.

The real enemy has never been those alien thieves outside.

Although they are powerful, as long as I don't admit defeat, don't be stupid, rely on the location of the city, and rely on the population of the people, even if I have been wronged for a while, the final victory will be ours!

The real danger of our dynasty has always been from within, those methods that are not clear at all, those guys who don't know whether they are enemies or friends!
Maybe we can put on the strongest armor for ourselves, and equip ourselves with the sharpest knives and axes.

It can even have the bravery and ability to crush the world.

But His Majesty will never be able to do it. Under a mouthful of highly poisonous food, you can still rely on these to save your life."

This is Deng Sui's explanation to himself when he was looking through the classics when he was bored in his spare time.

But at that time, Liu Long's mind was full of "the rules that Confucius set for the Taoists back then", so for these words, the left ear went in, and the right ear came out immediately.

I didn't care at all.

This trip can be regarded as coming to an end so far.

A few days later, accompanied and escorted by Zheng Zhong, Liu Long returned to the palace as quietly as if he had left.

He remembered that when he left, the palace was still a little lively, but when he came back, it was already a chilling scene.

The time was not too long, but Liu Long felt as if he had passed away.

Outside Changle Palace.

Liu Long once again came to this familiar yet unfamiliar palace. At this time, he was completely different from before.

In addition to looking darker, his eyes, his movements, and even his inexplicable temperament seemed to have changed a bit.

On this point, Cao Teng, who came out to greet him, may have the most say.

"Old slave Cao Teng, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

After not seeing him for such a long time, Cao Teng still seemed to be smiling to everyone without any offensive power.

The kind smile seemed to be welded to his face, even more sincere than before.

Kneeling on the ground, Cao Teng, who didn't dare to lift his head, could clearly feel the difference in Liu Long, but he still didn't say a word.

Just knelt here, kneeling in front of Liu Long, and asked Liu Long to enter the Weiyang Palace to meet his mother.

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Long couldn't help but shrink slightly when he looked at the "woman" in front of him.

He remembered that when he left, the empress dowager of the big man was still a graceful and quite beautiful woman.

She is a queen mother who is so beautiful that people dare not look directly at her.

But in such a short period of time, Deng Sui's appearance didn't seem to have changed much, he was still beautiful and moving, and he was still a first-class existence in this palace.

But on that body, there seemed to be exhaustion that could never be taken off, and there were a few strands of white hair that appeared on the head who didn't know when.

"Son Liu Long, pay homage to the Queen Mother! Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

At this time, Liu Long seemed to have forgotten the abuse and irritability when he left, and calmly appeared in front of Deng Sui like a gentle and refined boy.

Seeing Liu Long's movements and his somewhat dark and rough appearance, Deng Sui couldn't help but want to get up, but finally sat back slowly in his seat.

"Get up, Your Majesty, this journey has been hard, come here and let me take a good look at Your Majesty!"
