Chapter 318 Empress He's Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Stone

"Could it be that if this princess doesn't intercept you on purpose, you will never come to my lord."

As soon as Liu Bei left He's harem, he met Liu Ying, the Wannian princess, on a small road.

Before Lingdi died, he named her Princess Wannian, which was also a kind of protection for Liu Ying.

"Princess, what are you talking about? The minister is a foreign minister, how can I meet the princess without incident?"

"Sophistry, it's clear that you were ungrateful and ignored your father's last words. After your father's death, He Jin was so powerful that you didn't want to help Bao Xiedi become the throne. Now you are still watching He's domineering and bullying Mrs. Empress Dowager, don't you want to repay the late emperor's kindness at all?"

Liu Ying shouted sharply.

"Princess, is it not good to be a Prince of Taiping? Although Bohai is located in a remote place, it has been rich in products in recent years. In a few years, it will become a big country, enough for the king of Bohai (Liu Xie) to be rich and honor for a lifetime."

Liu Bei looked left and right and saw no one passing by.

"Oh! It sounds good. You only look at the He family entrusting Xiedi to the throne. Bohai Sea, such a remote area, shows how much He doesn't want to see Xiedi. Xiedi is only nine years old. For example, once I get married, the empress dowager If he dies, can Brother Xie escape from He's murderous hand?"

Liu Ying wiped her tears while talking, she and Liu Xie's mother died at the hands of He Hou, so it is natural to say that there is a deep hatred.

"Princess, what do you want me to do? Launch a coup to kill He's party?"

Liu Bei asked back.

Liu Ying nodded when she heard the words, and Liu Bei raised her forehead: "Can my princess stop being so naive, now that He Jin has power over the world, how can we beat him, and on what basis?"

Liu Ying said: "He Jin has power over the world, so he must be careless and unprepared. We just take advantage of it. Only one elite soldier can kill He Jin's party. At that time, Liu Hou can become a general. Isn't that bad? "

"Oh! Princess, the ten servants taught you this rhetoric! If I was really greedy for power and position, I should cooperate with Jian Shuo, and the result of cooperating with Jian Shuo was that the ten servants were killed. He Jin."

"how could be?"

"Why not? Even if I succeed in launching a coup d'etat and become a general, wouldn't I become a thorn in Shi Changshi's side again? How can I go further?"

Liu Bei's series of questions left Liu Ying speechless.

Liu Bei persuaded again: "Princess, since the Han Dynasty, the eldest princess who exercised power has not come to a good end. Princess Guantao is a precedent. You should just marry safely."

"you……"

Seeing that Liu Bei not only didn't help her, but started to teach her a lesson, Liu Ying couldn't help being furious. Since she was young, no one had ever taught her a lesson, so she said angrily, "It's fine if you don't want to help."

Liu Ying threw up her sleeves and left in anger, Liu Bei said from behind: "Princess, there is one more word from Bei, there are a few empress dowagers in the Han Dynasty who can die well, the empress dowager Dou (the mother of Emperor Huan) is not far behind, let alone Is the Empress Dowager Dong just a concubine?"

"Humph!"

After hearing this, Liu Ying was even more furious.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Ying didn't listen to what he said, so he could only shake his head and leave. He Jin was in power, but he was not very wise, and Liu Bian was even more frivolous and timid. How could he allow the ten permanent servants to easily abolish Liu Bian?

Liu Bei returned to the mansion by himself, and after returning home, he sent Wang Yue to Shi Miao's mansion. With Shi A taking care of him, Liu Bian must have known about it sooner or later.

Liu Ying went back to Empress Dowager Dong's palace and told Empress Dowager Dong about the conversation with Liu Bei. Empress Dowager Dong was furious: "The Ai family wanted to praise him, but he didn't know what to do. If the Ai family lost him, would there still be Dong Huanqi?"

Guo Sheng took the opportunity to remonstrate: "Queen Mother, since Liu Bei can't be a helper, you can't let him be a hindrance."

"Oh! Let's listen to the details."

Guo Sheng said: "Isn't Liu Bei loyal to the He family? If the He family knew that Liu Bei and the eldest princess had a secret meeting, wouldn't the He family be suspicious? If the He family is suspicious, there will inevitably be a rift between the two. Once there is a rift between the two, our opportunity will come. Now, if Liu Bei wants to vote for the Empress Dowager, it depends on whether the Empress Dowager is happy or not?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Empress Dowager Dong nodded.

Liu Ying felt a little uncomfortable hearing Guo Sheng's remonstrance, but it was just a little uncomfortable. Thinking about the end result, he would still unite with Liu Bei, at worst, he would just say a few more words in front of the Empress Dowager.

In Changle Palace, Empress He was very happy to have a strategy to subdue Liu Bei in her heart. She was admiring the flowers in the palace when she suddenly saw Duan Gui, one of the ten permanent servants, coming in cautiously.

He Hou pretended not to see him, and waited close to him and said, "How come Duan Changshi is free to come to my palace?"

"The Queen Mother is joking! As the Queen Mother's slaves, the servants naturally want to serve the Queen Mother."

"Humph!"

He Hou snorted with a smile: "Okay! Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you're here for! The general, I have already ordered you, as long as you are loyal to the general, the general will not take you." His little life is at most a small punishment."

Duan Gui was overjoyed: "Thank you Queen Mother for saving your life, how dare slaves and maidservants not die for Queen Mother."

"Well, get up!"

He Hou was very satisfied with Duan Gui's posture.

Duan Gui patted his ass for a while and said: "Queen Mother, I heard that you have ordered an audience with Liu Zhijinwu today."

"Well! What? Can't you?"

He Hou naturally knows that the ten permanent servants have many eyes and ears in the palace, and his actions cannot be hidden from the ten permanent servants. This is also the reason why He Hou is not willing to eradicate the ten permanent servants. Do it!

"How dare I care about the Queen Mother's actions, I just have some news and I don't know if I should tell the Queen Mother?"

"Bluntly."

He Hou turned and looked at Duan Guidao.

"Someone saw Liu Bei conspiring with Princess Wannianchang for a long time after he left Changle Palace."

He Hou looked at Duan Gui and said, "What are they plotting?"

"This, the servants don't know."

"Well! You go down! Ben Gong knows."

Seeing Duan Gui slipping away, He Hou kept thinking about something, turned around and asked Diao Chan for a long time, "Do you think what Duan Gui said is true or not?"

Diao Chan said: "That man Liu Xuande seems to be sanctimonious, but in fact he is lustful. He must be pestering the eldest princess deliberately because he looks good at the eldest princess."

"I don't think it looks like this. Flowers are charming, but sometimes they will take the initiative to touch people!"

Looking at the charming flowers in front of her eyes, He Hou said leisurely.

"Since it sticks to someone, just move it away."

Diao Chan said from the side.

"Extremely true."

Empress He clapped her hands and said, Diao Chan naturally didn't know what she said that made Empress He decide to give Diao Chan to Liu Bei to isolate Liu Bei from the Queen Mother Dong's group.

The next day, as soon as Liu Bei sat in Zhijinwu's mansion, he saw the little yellow door from yesterday reappeared in Zhijinwu's mansion. This time, the little yellow door had a very bad expression, as if his parents had died.

Liu Bei gave gifts again, but the little Huangmen stopped accepting them.

He Hou asked Liu Bei to enjoy the flowers in the palace, and for a long time pretended not to ask, "I heard that you met the eldest princess yesterday."

"That's right, the Eldest Princess asked someone to join Empress Dowager Dong."

Liu Bei told the truth.

He Hou was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting Liu Bei to tell the truth, his eyes lit up and said: "Everyone in the world says Liu Hou is a sincere gentleman, today it really is true."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your compliment. Since I am loyal to Your Majesty, there is naturally nothing I cannot say to Empress Dowager."

Empress He said with satisfaction: "Since Liu Hou is loyal, then I will be blunt. What do you think of the female officer next to me?"

Liu Bei looked at Diao Chan and suddenly froze, it was the same thing again.

Diao Chan was still annoyed at first, but seeing Liu Bei's blank look at the moment turned into embarrassment and anger.

"My queen, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Liu Bei refused.

Diao Chan felt relieved when he heard Liu Bei's refusal, but He Hou said: "Liu Hou has made great contributions to supporting His Majesty, and His Majesty has never rewarded him, just to make up for his previous achievements."

Although Empress He said it was a reward, there was no doubt about his tone. Liu Bei also knew that this was the eye that Empress He wanted to place beside him.

"I don't agree."

Liu Bian came out of nowhere and shouted loudly.

"presumptuous!"

He Hou was very dissatisfied with Liu Bian's sudden interruption of his words.

"I just don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree with Sister Diao Chan leaving the palace."

Liu Bian shouted: "Mother, Gu doesn't like Concubine Tang, Gu likes Sister Diaochan, Gu wants Sister Diaochan to be Gu's queen."

"presumptuous!"

Empress He was furious, and slapped Liu Bian on the face: "Get lost."

"Queen, you, you..."

Liu Bian cried and turned to leave.

Liu Bei suddenly understood that maybe He Hou promised Diao Chan to himself, and he was afraid that Liu Bian would really make Diao Chan his queen!
Allowing Diao Chan to himself can not only break Liu Bian's lust, but also dispel the desire to win over Empress Dowager Dong and others, and at the same time keep him under control. It's really killing three birds with one stone!
