He Bai was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Empress Dowager He up, but Empress Dowager He knelt down and begged. Although it was like a drowning person who grabbed the straw and wanted to ask for help, but asking for He Bai was also considered asking for the right person.

If He Bai just wants to be a wise minister and help Empress Dowager He and his son overcome difficulties, it is easy to do. But He Bai is ambitious and will inevitably come up with some bad ideas if he wants to usurp the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, He Bai's conscience has not yet been lost and has not yet become a cruel politician and cannot do anything too harsh.

He Bai had no choice but to worship, "The Queen Mother asked me to get up, and the servants would do their best."

Queen Mother He bowed three times and then stood up. After thinking about the allusions in history, He Bai thought of Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao, so he bowed to Queen Mother He: "As the saying goes, the desire for power is fascinating, makes people obsessed, makes people crazy, and makes people die. The He family in Nanyang is at a critical moment of the destruction of the clan, so we let Brother Xian abandon the wealth and glory in the capital and prepare to flee far away to the other counties to settle down."

"If the Empress Dowager asks for advice from his servants, he will also persuade him like this. In this chaos in the capital, the bleeding of the two palaces was due to power. If the Empress Dowager wants to seek peace, he must work hard on authority. Unknown to the Empress Dowager, can we know the allusion of "Zhong Er was born outside, Shen was born inside and died inside"?"

Empress Dowager He said he didn't know, so He Bai explained the deeds of Duke Wen of Jin to him, and then said: "If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor want to be safe, they must follow Chong'er's actions and set themselves far away from the outside county so that they can escape from the center of fierce power struggle and protect themselves."

Empress Dowager He was originally an ordinary palace maid. He stood out from the harem and became the queen through various fierce struggles and struggles. Now he finally became the queen and had great power, so how could he easily hand over the power to others? For a moment, how could Empress Dowager He make a decision? If He Bai had not been a descendant of the He clan of Nanyang He clan and was asked by Empress Dowager He personally, he might have thought that He Bai was hiding evil intentions.

Queen Mother He asked hesitantly: "How should the Ai family and the emperor stay far away from other counties and protect themselves? Is there still a day to return to the capital?"

He Bai bowed and said, "If the empress dowager is interested, after the emperor returns, the Ming Dynasty will be held in the next day and issued a crime edict, saying that this turmoil is the result of his own lack of virtue. He is willing to serve the two emperors Yao and Shun, give the throne to the prince and demote himself to the vassal king and the queen mother. In this way, even if there is a great virtue of abdicating the throne, there is no authority in it. No matter whether the court officials and princes cooperate, they dare not persecute the empress dowager, because the emperor will persecute."

"As for returning to the capital? The Han Dynasty has recently been emperors, but they are not descendants of the emperor. If the princes have an unexpected situation in the future, as the king of abdicated, he would have returned to the capital one day. At that time, the emperor was already an adult and would be the queen mother's support, so the queen mother would not have to ask for help from me again."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager He still felt hesitant and difficult to decide. He Bai advised again: "If you want to give up, you will not be able to give up. Only by giving up can you gain. You should break quickly, and if you stop, you will suffer chaos. The servants never heard of the good consequences of the emperor who lost power. If there is a rebellious minister who will do something wrong to abolish the court, there is only a way to die. However, the abdicated emperor is often respected by the world. How to make a decision, please ask the Empress Dowager to settle quickly."

Empress Dowager He thought about great compassion. She tried her best to make Liu Bian the emperor. Now, in less than half a year, she will be abdicated, so how can she bear it? But He Bai is right. Taking the initiative to abdicate can not only gain a reputation, but also gain wealth and glory, and also have a day to return to the capital. If someone forcibly abolishes, he will be dead at that time.

Queen Mother He could only cry and said, "Although the Ai family agreed, I don't know what the emperor is thinking? You can make plans when the emperor finds it."

He Bai had no choice but to bow, "In this way, let Brother Xian lead the general's brother Lingshu and others to follow our army first. I can stay in the capital for three days. Within three days, the emperor will not abdicate the throne, so I will surrender."

Empress Dowager He had no choice but to agree. He Bai bowed to Empress Dowager He, went out of the hall to meet He Xian, and asked, "I wonder if I want to help General Lingshu return to Wancheng, Nanyang to maintain filial piety, or do I want to follow me to the Beihai Kingdom?"

He Xian bowed and said, "I am afraid I will be deceived by others when I return to Nanyang, so I should hijack under my brother's wings."

He Bai nodded and said, "Then call everyone, put Lingshu on the car, and set off immediately."

After a while of work, the group drove ten carriages to protect the Lingshu of He Jin and He Miao, and headed towards Kaiyang Gate. When they arrived at Kaiyang Gate, they happened to catch up with the lower army's baggage team, so they merged in and walked east together. After traveling for twenty miles, they saw that the front army of the lower army was preparing for camping.

As soon as He Bai entered the camp, he saw Cai Yong running hurriedly and asked, "It's dawn, the capital is in chaos now, and the two palaces are bleeding. As an official in the court, you don't want to calm down the chaos, look for the emperor and rectify the government, but you have to stay away from it, and even force me out of the capital. Why?"

He Bai smiled and said, "Mr. Bo Ji, you need to know that you are still a paralyzed patient. What does it have to do with you when you are in the court accident?" Seeing that Cai Yong's face was unhappy and he was angry, he had to say seriously: "Sir, the death of the general brother is clearly because of the Ten Eunuchs, but I suspect that it was because of the intention of Yuan and Dong Zhuo to harm him. Now that they are dead, the position of emperor is not guaranteed. He and I are in danger in Nanyang, and it is not enough to protect themselves. How can we still manage other other things?"

Cai Yong was shocked and asked why. He Bai had to tell the reasons in history that the cause and consequences of the dispute between He Jin and Yuan Shao and the Ten Constables, and combined with what he thought and thought in this life, he said: "Yuan Benchu ​​had a lofty ambitions. Abandoning officials could be the first step, taking charge of government affairs was the second step, and eliminating imperial power was the third step. As for whether he would imitate Wang Mang, it is unknown."

Cai Yong had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would be like this, so he wanted to ask Yuan Shao in person, but He Bai said: "How can a person who values ​​power be easily convinced by the teacher, and the teacher's disaster is probably reflected in Yuan Dong. It's better to avoid the disaster first, and then discuss the national crisis. If I am here, I will never let Yuan Dong live a better life."

Cai Yong then sighed: "I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu ​​would do such a thing in order to eliminate the ten regular attendants and take charge of the court. He did not hesitate to make trouble with the tiger, but also harmed the general and the emperor. It's a pity, it's a pity. It seems that our straight people are really not good at scrambling in the officialdom. Well, I'd better write my "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"."

After Cai Yong left, He Bai summoned the generals of the army and introduced Huang Zhong to everyone, saying, "The Empress Dowager ordered me to stay in the capital for three days, but the army could not stay in the capital and still need to continue to advance. When I was not in the army, Huang Hanshu could temporarily take charge of military affairs as Sima, and he would temporarily take charge of military affairs after I returned. After I returned, I could step down."

When no one gave up He Bai's official position, He Bai, as the chief general of the lower army, could naturally make arrangements for the advancement and retreat of the lower army. Moreover, the generals were quite convinced by He Bai, and they were not afraid that something would happen when he was not in the army.

The arrangement was decided, and He Bai ordered Huang Zhong to do something, paying special attention to Dong Zhuohui's envoys coming to win over. After that, He Bai led Han Rong, Xun Ye and Zheng Bu and other fifty loyal and dead soldiers back to Luoyang City.

When he returned to the city, it was only 10 o'clock in the middle of the night. According to history, there were at least ten hours before the emperor returned to the city. If he deliberately imitated Dong Zhuo, these ten hours would be enough to control the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. If he had the fifth battalion of troops in his hand, he would have taken over the seventh battalion of the Xiyuan Army and became powerful. Within one day, he would have become a giant in the court. If Lu Bu was still allowed to kill Ding Yuan to obtain the military power of the Bingzhou Army, and then kill Dong Zhuo to obtain the military power of the Xiliang Army, it would be no problem to dominate the world.

But I finally gave up this temptation and would rather work hard from low to high. I just don’t know if my hard work in this life may be successful. If it fails, I am afraid it will be as funny as Yuan Shao and become the negative textbook in history. At that time, my evaluation of myself was a arrogant person who missed the opportunity, was very happy with merit, was ignorant on the outside, and was brave on the outside, and was timid on the outside.

Opportunities are what you give up, and I don’t know whether this opportunity is good or bad. I hope you won’t regret your future.

He Bai saw that the east and west palaces had been destroyed for a day, and there was no sign of extinguishing at this time. It was thought that the eunuchs had been killed and the palace maids were unable to put out the fire. The Yulin Army, the Tiger Soldiers and the City Gate soldiers, etc., who were capable of putting out the fire, had already left the city to look for the emperor. No one went to save them for a while, so they had to burn them.

He Bai thought about it and was afraid that he would not have the intention to sleep tonight, so he might as well go to find the emperor together. Even if he was in front of all officials and the people of the world, he would not have a decline in his evaluation of himself. So he led his people all the way north and rushed to Xiaopingjin.

Xiaopingjin is northeast of Mengjin and is an important ferry crossing of the Yellow River. In the first year of Zhongping, in order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, Emperor Ling set up a guard in Jinshang, which was one of the eight passes of Luoyang. He Bai remembered that the Shao Emperor and Emperor Xian were taken to Xiaopingjin by Zhang Rang. Later, because the pursuit was too urgent, both sides were lost. The Shao Emperor and Emperor Xian walked along the road illuminated by fireflies for a long time before they rested at Cui Yizhuang, the brother of the former Situ Cui Lie.

Since He Bai knew the address, he would not have been like a headless fly like a hundred officials, searching everywhere near Beimang Mountain, so he headed straight for Xiaopingjin. The road was about 80 miles away, and after galloping, he arrived at Xiaopingjin in more than two hours.

Around Xiaopingjin, a close confidant of Henan Yin Wangyun, led hundreds of soldiers to search. He Bai asked Min Gong a few questions and learned that Zhang Rang had jumped into the river and died, Duan Gui was also killed by him, but he did not see the emperor. They had been searching for more than an hour, but they still couldn't find it.

He Bai ordered all the dead soldiers to find a local citizen. Half an hour later, Zheng Bu brought a middle-aged citizen. He Bai took him to the side and asked if there was a nearby Cui's house. When he learned that the Cui's house was on the edge of the hill ten miles southeast. He Bai thanked the people and rewarded them with more than 100 zhu coins, leading people to the southeast.

After a ten-mile journey, He Bai and his group trotted all the way, and it took twenty minutes to arrive. Then he ordered people to look around, and soon he saw a manor under a hill. He Bai personally came forward to knock on the gate. After a long time, someone came to open the door.

He Bai saw that he was an old man who was over 50 years old, so he asked on the big week: "He Bai, a doctor from Taizhong in the capital, came to Guizhuang because he was looking for two lost boys. Do you dare to ask if the master had ever seen him take him in?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The little old man has been sleeping and has never seen him."

He Bai thought about it, so he bowed again: "I have been searching with my servants for a long time, and I am exhausted and hungry. I am willing to ask the master to give me some food to wait for me to enter the village. I am grateful."

The butler looked at He Bai and his party, and there were more than fifty people. He said hesitantly: "It's okay to enter the village, but please speak softly, don't shout loudly, for fear that my master will wake up, but this is not good."
