Chapter 292 Liu Cang does nothing
He Lian asked Liu Cang for help. The two argued, and Zhao Chun intervened. There was silence for a while, but He Lian softened his tone.
"If Dong Zhuo can take over Luoyang's military power, you can too."
"Many soldiers in Liangzhou are afraid of you, and the elite soldiers in Luoyang also pass on your good name."
"The emperor is young, and the Ai family is a powerless woman. If you take the military power in Luoyang, you can assist the emperor. Can the Ai family protect your position as general?" He Lian's tone was thoughtful, and her attitude could be said to be extremely low-key.
"Alas~~" Liu Cang sighed, General? Even He Jin took the position after many years of preparation. He is said to command the world's soldiers and horses, but look at Dong Zhuo, look at Ding Yuan, look at the local troops in various states
.Look at the subordinates of He Jin’s mansion, hehe, the great general...
However, it was rare for He Lian to show her weakness. It was hard for Liu Cang to say unpleasant things, but some things obviously wouldn't sound good if he said them.
"If it's Dong Zhuo alone, well...even if we include Ding Yuan, who just slaughtered the army, I won't be afraid." Liu Cang's face was heavy, and He Lian's eyes lit up.
"Alas~~, the situation is over. Yuan Wei was wanton in the early days. If the Queen Mother could make a decisive decision and destroy all his families, things would have been simple." Liu Cang continued to speak, and He Lian frowned.
"The Yuan family in Runan rebelled against the inner court but was not brought under control. The royal family's dignity was not compromised by Dong Zhuo's, but it was all the fault of the Yuan family."
"If the Yuan family is not cured, those who have suffered from the party's imprisonment for many years will respect the authority of the Yuan family. There are many noble families who can safely associate with the Yuan family."
"The Liangzhou army was tyrannical, and Dong Zhuo was also brutal in his actions. As a result, Dong Zhuo now suppresses the courtiers. However, there are many people in the court headed by the Yuan family in Runan who want to mediate with Dong Zhuo."
"Haha, there is no drama between you and me in this game, so why bother to jump out and look for trouble?"
"Dong Zhuo is in power? Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng is now subservient to Dong Zhuo, but without Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid it will be the Yuan family that takes power." Liu Cang analyzed slowly, and doubts flashed in He Lian's eyes.

"Is it so easy to kill a group of ten regular servants? After slaughtering all the regular servants of the Young Mansion, all the states in the world are singing and dancing in peace?" Liu Cang asked with a smile, while He Lian frowned.
"The family records of the eunuchs in the inner court have long been spread all over the Hanzhou counties, and they control local power. Otherwise, how would you, the late emperor, amass the world's wealth?"
"Almost all the eunuch leaders are dead, but there is no turmoil in the place? Haha..."
"Queen Mother, before the general was killed, I am afraid that all states and localities had quietly completed the purge of eunuch family records." Liu Cang sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"The emperor doesn't know about this, the queen mother doesn't know about it, the eunuchs don't know about it, and the general may also know about it."
"The Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo, is a general. Ding Yuan is a hawk and a dog."
"An army likes to massacre. However, the Yuan family in Runan has become a role model. The scholar-bureaucrats have lost all respect for the royal family. The factions and clans are ready to move. Unless they massacre the whole world, it will be difficult to establish the majesty of the royal family."
"I can't afford to play alone." Liu Cang said solemnly.
Liu Cangke never regarded Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan as imaginary enemies. The Yuan family in Runan could only be regarded as a promoter, and was not qualified to be a boss behind the scenes. With the general trend of the world, how can an army or a family be defeated by a single word?
Soldiers are dangerous and ruthless. Swordsmen, water and fire, falling rocks, and heavy trees are all merciless. Words and writings can also force people to hang themselves.
If you don't feed the people, you won't make a living, and your soldiers will die, and you won't be the same person.
Well, maybe all the soldiers don't need to die, and the next big defeat will be ruined by someone else's misfortune.
Liu Cang explained patiently, while He Lian and Zhao Chun looked shocked.
"I, I now issue an order to kill the Yuan family." He Lian was panicked and asked tentatively.
"It's too late. It's already too late if there is no dispute between Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo. Moreover, even if the Yuan family is slaughtered now and what Yuan family did has been proven to be feasible, it just means that the Yuan family is unlucky."
"Without the Yuan family, there is still the Yang family, without the Yang family, there is still the Ding family, the powerful Liangzhou, the princes of Guandong, the Jiangnan aristocratic families, and the heroes of Lingnan, all of them have stepped forward one after another, and they all dare to seek that bright future. Haha, the Queen Mother, I am alone.
I've warned you a long time ago, but now it's too late."
"You can't cure it without massacre, and you can't afford to be alone." Liu Cang emphasized again.
The hall was silent, and Zhao Chun even suppressed the rhythm of his breathing. As Liu Cang explained, He Lian's face became more panicked, and his body actually started to tremble slightly.
"You...you are willing to watch them change dynasties!" He Lian's voice was high.
"Who dares to touch the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy? Haha, if we don't fight for 180 years, the dynasty will not change." Liu Cang retorted. In this regard, he has a godly perspective and is full of confidence.
He Lian was at a loss for a moment. Then, He Lian thought of Liu Yan, Liu Yu and others. Then she looked at Liu Cang, her eyes full of fear.
"You...you want to wait for the emperor to be killed?!" He Lian subconsciously took a few steps away from Liu Cang and asked in surprise.
It wasn't until this moment that He Lian truly realized that everything was out of control. Especially the fact that all the relatives and officials were dead but the place was not in chaos, He Lian thought about it and became extremely frightened.
The recent events are definitely not accidental. Everything seems to have been controlled and planned for many years. He Lian doesn't know the details, and Liu Cang doesn't know either.
"I don't know about the other clan members. Haha, the Queen Mother thinks that the powerful families in the world will agree that Gu is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Cang laughed, and He Lian, who was in a sudden state of mind, suddenly realized again.
Indeed, Liu Cang's temperament was too strong, and his beast-controlling skills were difficult to control.
As the saying goes, "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He." The powerful families in the world may respect Liu Cang in awe and respect, but there are definitely not many people who want him to become the orthodox Han Dynasty and rule the world.
Either he slaughters the whole world to the point of fear, or he devotes himself to running a series of alliances. Faced with the problem of 'Han Dynasty orthodoxy', among the clan members, Liu Cang is not even a threat for the time being.
As for massacre, today's Han people are not sissies, nor will they be afraid if you massacre a county or a state. Let's just take the results of Boss Cao's small massacre of Xuzhou as a reference.
"Then...if according to His Highness, Dong Zhuo is in power, wouldn't it be a blessing for His Majesty? If Dong Zhuo is in power, wouldn't he try his best to protect the emperor?" He Lian was confused, and Zhao Chun asked tentatively.

At this time, Zhao Chun had lost his early pride in front of Liu Cang. He lowered his eyebrows and responded to Liu Cang with a humble smile, and then carefully observed He Lian's reaction.
Yes, He Lian was not sure who wanted "Han Dynasty orthodoxy", but if Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou, who was despised by aristocratic families, gained power, there was obviously no need for him to look for other Han Dynasty orthodoxy.
If we first stabilize Dong Zhuo and use him to suppress the gentry in the court, and then slowly work on it, maybe we can bring order to the chaos and regain imperial power?
He Lian's eyes flashed, but before she could think clearly, Liu Cang poured a basin of cold water on her head again.
"These days, there are rumors from the outside world that Dong Zhuo considers himself a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's clan." Liu Cang said lightly, and a chill ran through He Lian's body.
Empress Dowager Dong? A very cool queen of the princes, who kept her, the ruling queen mother, away from her, but went to recognize Empress Dowager Dong's relatives.
No need to think too much, Liu Xie!
"Zhao Chun! Kill Liu Xie quickly! Send people to kill Liu Xie quickly!" He Lian shouted urgently.
He Lian ordered urgently, but Zhao Chun looked embarrassed.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the court requested Xun Shuang of Yingchuan to serve as Guang Luxun. However, he has not responded. Dong Zhuo has arranged guards for Liu Xie. He wants to kill Liu Xie, which may lead to great disaster." Zhao Chun was careful.
report.
"This..." He Lian lost her mind and sat down on the soft couch with a gloomy expression.
"This reckless man from Liangzhou, how dare he! He..." He Lian murmured to herself, and for a moment, she looked at Liu Cang as if to confirm.
"The Queen Mother, please don't look at me again. Liu Hong dug countless holes and refused to establish a prince until his death. In his early years, he even had affairs with Jianshuo, so I don't want to wade in this muddy water." Liu Cang spread his hands and quibbled. Although he was suspected of sophistry, but in the meantime
All kinds of troubles are indeed unpredictable.
Liu Cang called the late emperor by his first name, Zhao Chun looked shocked, but He Lian seemed relieved, thinking of Liu Hong, and gritted his teeth. But it didn't take long for the anger to turn into helplessness and misery.
"Bian'er is also your son and nephew. Does King Dongping really want to abandon the emperor?" He Lian looked miserable, and Liu Cang rolled his eyes.
"Chang'an Shanglin is brilliant and orthodox, and Han Shanglin may be moved back to Chang'an." Without taking He Lian's words, Liu Cang spoke thoughtfully.
The site selection for Luoyang Shanglin Garden was very particular. Although it is not as glorious as Luoyang Imperial City, it is naturally lush and has many places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Years of operating Shanglin Garden have given Liu Cang a popular foundation in this place.
Now that steam engines have been developed, Liu Cang has full confidence in Dahan's mechanical foundation, but he wants to take advantage of the special environment of Linyuan to build a city of machines.
A refuge from the world, yet at the starting point of the Silk Road.
The resources are abundant, the roads are accessible, and wars are raging. Luoyang and Chang'an are ahead.
Not only can it save ten or even decades of basic development time, but more importantly, the royal family will destroy the people's hearts, just like darkness under the lamp. In fact, Luoyang can be said to be a vacuum zone for the influence of aristocratic families.
Cough... Moreover, what if someone wants to move the imperial capital in the future? Cough...
"Presumptuous! You want to seize the royal family's private property!?" Liu Cang moved Shang Linyuan's thoughts, and He Lian gritted his teeth and scolded him.
"Tsk, hasn't Dongping Kingdom always returned to the royal family? If the Queen Mother encounters a crisis, she can seek refuge in Jianzhang Palace. I'll stop here." Liu Cang didn't say the details. It's He Lian's business whether to operate it or not.
"You...you mean Dong Zhuo wants to kill me? How dare he!?" Liu Cang seemed to have a hint, and He Lian was shocked and confused.
"It is up to the Queen Mother to decide whether she dares or not. However, things are unpredictable, so it is always good to leave more escape routes." Liu Cang said flatly.
History has changed a long time ago. It is difficult to confirm whether Dong Zhuo will follow the historical trajectory and throw He Lian and Liu Bian into the well. However, where He Lian is unknown, Dong Zhuo has already begun to plan to depose them.
