After becoming a disciple of Lu Zhi.
Liu Bian also studied with this world-renowned Confucian master for a long time.
Including the ability to govern the country and the principles of dealing with people, plus some private things that Lu Zhi himself mixed in, that is, Confucian classics, ancient Chinese classics, etc., these are all on Liu Bian's curriculum.
The acquisition of knowledge itself is something that can change and sublimate people from the inside out.
In particular, Lu Zhi was a strict teacher, and the little emperor was timid by nature. How could he dare not to study seriously when faced with a strict teacher?
Therefore, during this period of time, I have actually learned a lot, and my whole temperament has also changed. It is no longer the submissive, timid and timid look that Cao Ang had in his mind.
Compared with the half-year-old children who first left Luoyang City and arrived in Yanzhou, they clamored for the freedom to leave the mansion and have the right to move and play.
Liu Bian is obviously an adult now.
He has become much more stable in his words and deeds.
But what is particularly rare is.
This boy still behaved very respectfully and docilely in front of Cao Ang, and every move he made was full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
This made Cao Ang nod secretly.
I am quite satisfied with Liu Bian.
It was not in vain that he spent so much effort to save the emperor who was forcibly deposed by Dong Zhuo. With his repaying kindness and his pure nature, he did a good job in this matter.
At the same time, it was precisely because Liu Bian's character was stable, docile and controllable, and he had a very strong positive impression and sense of Cao Ang that Cao Ang could rest assured and push him back to the position of emperor without any scruples.
Otherwise, even if he is the son of Queen Mother He.
Cao Ang must be tested no matter what.
…………
"The army will arrive in Hanoi County in the near future. It will not be far from Luoyang City at that time. At that time, I will lead the army to continue to conquer Chang'an westward."
"As soon as the Dong thief is killed and the puppet court of Chang'an that he forcibly established with force is overthrown, my father will exert force here in Luoyang City to announce your existence to the world and re-elect you to the throne of God. Your Majesty, please be prepared at all times!"
After being pulled by Liu Bian to sit down.
Cao Ang said this in an understatement while holding the tea bowl with a smile on his face.
And as his voice fell.
The faces of the people in the room clearly showed extremely excited expressions, even though they had already known about this before setting off with the army.
But once again, they got confirmation from Cao Ang, and even the specific process was revealed, which naturally made several people feel quite excited.
The Queen Mother naturally didn't need to say more, after all, it was her biological son who was about to return to the throne.
And once Liu Bian was once again classified as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, then she, the Queen Mother, would regain her rightful status.
Although from the Queen Mother He's point of view, she had been bound to Cao Ang for the rest of her life, sharing weal and woe, and sharing the same stakes, the title of Queen Mother was originally hers, so how could she just say she didn't want it?
As for Princess Liu Ping of Ten Thousand Years.
Although the eldest daughter of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was not a biological sibling to Liu Bian, apart from the fact that they both had the same surname and the same father, they seemed to have nothing in common, and their own interests were not bound together.
But for Liu Ping.
Revitalize the Han Dynasty, return it to the old capital, make the Han Dynasty great again, and make the Han Dynasty surnamed Liu immortal forever.
This in itself was her lifelong wish.
As for whether she could benefit from it and which brother would ascend to the throne, it had nothing to do with her and she didn't care at all.
…………
Just in such an exciting mood.
Cao Ang discovered unexpectedly.
Liu Bian was hesitant to speak, and his face was full of hesitation. He looked worried, full of anxiety and confusion.
This made Cao Ang couldn't help but restrain the smile on his face.
He asked slightly doubtfully: "I see that your Majesty, you seem to be a little unwell, but do you have any doubts about this matter, or do you think there is anything wrong?"
Liu Bian hesitated for a few seconds.
After all, he still said frankly to Cao Ang.
"General Cao, you traveled all over the country and worked day and night for the foundation of the Han Dynasty and for the chance to ascend to the throne. I see everything you have done for the Han Dynasty, and I will keep it in my heart."
"If there is anything inappropriate, there will definitely be nothing wrong with it. After all, this matter has been carefully prepared by you and your father, so it is flawless and flawless."
"The reason why I feel uncomfortable is just because... I feel a little panicked, and I feel a little scared about the days after I return to the throne."
After hesitating for a long while.
Liu Bian finally stuttered and poured out his true inner emotions.
Fortunately, it was in front of Cao Ang.
If it had been any other person, Liu Bian would never have said it so clearly.
After all, Liu, a direct descendant of the Han Dynasty, the legitimate son of the late emperor, and a former emperor, was actually afraid of the idea of becoming emperor.
Anyone who tells it will be surprised.
This was a blow to Liu Bian's face and the emperor's majesty.
…………
After hearing this, Cao Ang.
A look of surprise appeared on his face at the right time.
But he quickly restrained himself.
Instead, he supported his chin with one hand, frowned, and thought carefully for a while.
Just then he asked in confusion: "Your Majesty is the emperor, the master of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the supreme ruler of the world. In this land, your will is God's will."
"With such a lofty identity and status, what is there to be afraid of?"
As soon as this statement came out.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Liu Bian's face.
After looking around at his mother and sister, he explained helplessly to Cao Ang.
"Now we are all our own people here, we are a family. I will not hide some things from General Cao."
"The so-called emperor is the co-owner of the world and the ruler of the thirteen states all over the world. The emperor's will is the will of heaven. Such words were certainly not false when the Han Dynasty was strong. But now the Han Dynasty is extremely weak, and the emperor will never be the same again. That’s right.”
"Especially when I was in Luoyang City, I experienced being forced to live in exile in Beiman Mountain, and I experienced Dong's thief dethroning me as emperor, and no one from the court spoke for me, or looked on coldly, etc."
"If it hadn't been for General Cao who stepped forward and risked his life to save me, it would be unknown where my bones would be buried now. So I am really afraid of the days after I ascend to the throne of God, and I am worried that I will return to the same situation as before. After all, I am full of None of the officials in the court can be trusted!"
…………
I speak from the bottom of my heart.
It can be seen from this.
Liu Bian really regarded Cao Ang as one of his own.
After Cao Ang listened quietly, his eyes could not help but widen slightly, and his thoughts were already running at high speed in his mind.
In fact, when he heard Liu Bian's self-analysis that the Han Dynasty was now facing leaks from all sides and was on the verge of collapse, he almost thought that Liu Bian was about to awaken. He thought that after being taught by Lu Zhi, this guy had transformed into a A great politician.
At that time, Cao Ang was already thinking about it.
Do you want to put some insurance on Liu Bian to ensure that he will not cause trouble while he is away?
As a result, when I heard the second half.
Only then did I realize that I was overthinking.
This matter has nothing to do with awakening at all. Liu Bian is just plain scared.
It was a series of events such as Yuan Shao and others' execution of the ten permanent servants and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing that left a very heavy shadow on the young emperor.
This led Liu to realize that being an emperor was a high-risk profession, and the past could reappear at any time.
At the same time, he also felt extremely distrustful of the older group of civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China. When Dong Zhuo acted recklessly in Luoyang City, this group of people could not utter a single word.
Then who knows whether they will emerge in a solid state in the future, and even join forces to depose themselves as the emperor and control the government while Cao Ang is away?
This is the source of Liu Bian's fear!
…………
After understanding the inside story.
Cao Ang's whole body relaxed.
But the next moment.
He keenly sensed that this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to brainwash the little emperor and instill some inherent knowledge in him.
So after one breath.
Cao Ang straightened his back again.
Then he looked at Liu Bian with sincere eyes, a look of complete confidence on his face.
After such a show.
Just now he spoke to console him: "What your Majesty said is not unreasonable. None of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can be trusted. Although they are ministers of the Han Dynasty, they each have their own considerations and interests. In the face of personal life safety and the family's future, who should You can abandon the emperor."
"And ambitious usurpers like Dong Zhuo are by no means an exception. There are many such people in the world. They peek at one side and cannot be underestimated."
When it comes to this.
Cao Ang slowly stood up.
While waving his sleeves, he walked around twice, but soon came to Liu Bian again, bowed slightly to look at him, and said in a solemn tone.
"Your Majesty is surrounded by dangers, but in my opinion, there is no need to worry. After all, I, Cao Ang, am still here!"
"It doesn't matter if the Duke of Manchu is not trustworthy. My father and I, as well as the entire Cao family, are absolutely trustworthy and loyal ministers. We are all loyal to Your Majesty."
"So what if there are so many ambitious people in the world. I, the Cao family, have a hundred thousand armor and countless brave generals under my command. I am guarding your majesty. I will kill every so-called usurper who comes, and I will kill as many as they come!"
"So your Majesty, you don't have to worry at all. As long as I, Cao Ang, am still alive, and as long as you are still willing to be the emperor, you can sit down peacefully forever!"
…………
Cao Ang's words were resounding.
Like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, it sounded in the ears of Liu Bian, the Queen Mother and others, which was really deafening and shocking.
The performance of the little emperor is particularly obvious.
The whole person suddenly stood up.
With his face and eyes full of emotion, he grabbed Cao Ang's sleeve and spoke with emotion in his words.
"General Cao is a great man and a loyal man, a hero of the country. Your Majesty is also a pillar of the south sky of the imperial court. With the guards of the Cao family on his side, I can say that all the worries in my heart are gone!"
But he had just finished speaking.
Cao Ang's voice came to my ears again.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you don't doubt your ministers, then your ministers will repay you with sincerity. I am willing to devote myself to your majesty until my death. I also need your trust in me."
"My Cao family now has 100,000 troops and owns nearly four states. It can be said that it is very powerful. This will inevitably attract criticism."
"Perhaps after you return to the throne, there will always be villains making slanderous remarks in your ears and pouring dirty water on my Cao family. I hope your majesty will trust us and don't be suspicious because of this. ah!"
Although the little emperor returned to the throne of emperor.
It is also impossible to control actual power.
In essence, it cannot have any substantial negative impact on Cao Ang.
But this vaccination should still be given, and the brainwashing process is absolutely indispensable.
Otherwise, Liu Bian is the king of a country after all and has absolute procedural justice. If someone really wants to stir up trouble in his ears and ask him to do something, it will be quite troublesome.
…………
And as the words fell.
Liu Bian was stunned at first.
Then he let go of the hand holding Cao Ang's sleeve.
Instead, he pointed to the sky and spoke in an extremely solemn voice.
"I don't even trust General Cao, why should I trust those treacherous villains? If I can't even trust you, then how can there be anyone trustworthy in the whole world!"
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. The world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is in constant turmoil. If we are not strong enough and do not unite states and counties, how can we guarantee the majesty of the imperial court and the continuation of the Han Dynasty?"
"Today I swear to God that even if there are thousands of troubles in the future, I will never doubt the general. If anyone talks like this in my ears, I will definitely put him in jail and punish him severely!"
As a young man who is not very old.
Liu Bian does not have the ability to think about East things in his heart but talk about West things with his mouth. Nor is he a monster like Cao Ang who has experienced two lives.
What's more, swearing by the sky, in this era, and swearing by the Luoshui are both very effective oaths, and they have not been ruined by a certain Sima clan.
So Liu Bian's words at this moment.
These are the truest thoughts in his heart!
Cao Ang not only achieved his goal, but even exceeded it. Even if people will change and vows will decay, at least it can be guaranteed for a long time.
…………
After resolving Liu Bian's concerns.
Cao Ang stayed here for another quarter of an hour.
By the way, after explaining some things to Princess Liu Ping, he immediately said goodbye to several venerables.
Not long after Cao Ang left.
Queen Mother He also said that she was tired from traveling all the way and sent her son and others away.
Soon, the entire backyard of the office fell silent.
Only a few dim lights remained.
But in the dead of night, a figure quietly appeared in the courtyard and quickly entered the Queen Mother's house. It was Cao Ang who had left before.
When he returned to Puyang City from Changyi County, Cao Ang did not stay in Puyang for long because many things were very urgent.
Many wives and concubines only got together briefly to comfort each other, so even on the road, it was quite necessary to come to see the Queen Mother for tenderness.
