"But the emperor's grandmother, the grandson has nothing to covet now?" Liu Xie asked in confusion.

He seemed to understand what Empress Dowager Dong said, and he also had some previous experiences for him to refer to. But if you think about it carefully, it was the past. Now, you don’t know whether he is the prince or the prince. Who would help him because of his identity?

You see, some of the palace maids around the concubines. As for the eunuchs and maids with even lower status, no one cares about them. In the palace, those who walk on a daily basis are also the most ordinary palace maids and eunuchs who have no backing.

These people have a bad life in the palace because their identities allow them to be driven by the maids and eunuchs who are higher than their identities. If they do something wrong, they can be beaten and scolded at the least, and even lose their lives.

Although he was a prince, after understanding his situation, he was particularly good at observing everything around him. In the inevitable contact with Queen He, he always maintained a very humble state of understanding everything. Only in this way can he survive better, without causing Queen He's hostility, or even causing death.

Because of this, during the period of time he stayed in the palace, he saw things that he should not have noticed as a prince, and also understood many cruel truths. However, these truths could not bring him any help. Later, because of Queen He, he had to move out of the palace. Since then, he has become more cautious.

The question that Liu Xie didn't understand was here. What did Dong Zhuo want to get from him? Or, what exactly could Dong Zhuo get from him?

After all, according to the current situation, he, the prince, is already dead. Even if Empress He says he is dead, who would think he is still alive? Not to mention, as long as Empress He's current identity is further ahead, even if he can survive, as long as he appears in public, Empress He can let him die again.

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Xie knew very well what the gap was. For example, his biological mother was just a beauty, not a concubine. After giving birth to him, Empress He noticed the threat and removed it. Empress He had nothing to do with it. What is the manifestation of newness?

Because she has the identity of a queen, she can do such things unscrupulously without fear of any consequences. It is precisely because Liu Bian has such a mother that the call for Liu Bian to be the crown prince in the court is so high.

All this had been realized if it weren't for his father who understood Empress He. His father had also passed away. From then on, no one would protect him, and no one would have planned to make him the crown prince because of his love for him, but it would have been impossible for all reasons.

Thinking of that vague back, Liu Xie felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. Because of Queen He, during the period when his father was seriously ill and bedridden, he didn't have much chance to go to the palace to visit. When he wanted to go there in the end, he heard bad news.

Later, he could not even stay in Luoyang City and could only flee in panic. If it were not for Li Ru's help at that time, he might not even be able to get out of Luoyang City, and it is even more impossible for him to sit here safely now.

The question comes from this. What kind of things do he have in him that make Dong Zhuo care so much that he can ignore the possibility of secrets being exposed, which will bring Queen He to the danger and help him?

Looking at Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie's eyes were full of inquisitiveness.

Now there is only Empress Dowager Dong left with his relatives. There is no one else left. The only person who can be relied on is Empress Dowager Dong, who can be completely trusted. Liu Xie couldn't believe the others and dared not believe them.

If the people around him could believe it, then how could his mother die so miserably back then?

Now the only one who can answer his questions and answer questions is the Emperor's Grandmother, the closest person who has lived in his palace since he was young.

Empress Dowager Dong smiled kindly and looked at Liu Xie with loving eyes. Her grandson was still young and she didn't know these things, so it was very normal that she couldn't figure them out.

But this is much better than another dull Liu Bian. At least, the reason why the emperor disliked Liu Bian was because of the dullness and cowardice that Liu Bian showed. Empress Dowager Dong also disliked Liu Bian because the future prince, the future emperor would never be a person who could not speak a few words, nor could he be the kind of person who asked one more question and lowered his head, as if he was wronged.

There is no harm without comparison. If the emperor had only one prince, Liu Bian, then he could only say that there was only one him and no one else. But it was different. There was also Liu Xie. Liu Bian and Liu Xie were compared, which was really incomparable. It would be obvious who could win her and the emperor's favor more.

Just like at this moment, when she looked at Liu Xie's face, she could vaguely see the outline of the emperor when she was a child. That sense of familiarity really made Empress Dowager Dong feel like she was when she first saw the emperor.

Liu Xie asked at this moment, and Liu Bian might not have thought so much or so far. Although he was a little naive, it was not easy for a young man to have such a mind.

If possible, Empress Dowager Dong would choose to let Liu Xie become the emperor. It would not be Liu Bian? It was not only because of his likes and dislikes, but also because Liu Bian was the son of the woman He's.

"But you actually have a lot of it." Empress Dowager Dong said.

"A lot?" Liu Xie was stunned, and the doubts on his face became even stronger.

Have a lot? If he was the one he used to be, then he really had a lot, with the favor of his father. When he was young, he not only had his own mansion in Luoyang City, but also had a large number of eunuchs and palace maids for him to drive him. At that time, although he was forced to move out of the palace, some ministers who knew about the affairs of the palace did not look down on his weight.

The reason why he left the palace was not because of something else, because his father was worried that he might be harmed by the emperor. As for his status as he would become lower as he left the palace? That was impossible, because after he left the palace, he received various rewards from the palace for a long time, every once in a while.

But now, he doesn't have much, he has nothing. After he fled from Luoyang City, the vast house in Luoyang City that originally belonged to him must have been taken back, and all the rewards accumulated over the years must have been plundered.

It turns out that all this is nothing. As long as he is still a prince, he will never lack such things. But now, he has no identity as a prince. What people may know is that he, the prince, died suddenly. He would not have thought that he was still alive, and he would not believe that the one who wanted to kill him was his nominal mother, Queen He.

"Yes, you actually have a lot of things." Dong Tai nodded. She kept guiding Liu Xie to think about the connection.

If she was asked to say everything too clearly, it would not be of educational significance. These are the skills that a prince must learn when they must know.

Seeing that Liu Xie was still puzzled, Empress Dowager Dong continued to speak more briefly and said, "It is your identity, the prince's identity, and the royal blood flowing in her body. This is everything, new is everything, everything!"

Empress Dowager Dong said it for granted that the world is the Liu family, and under the control of the Liu family. Every royal family, especially the prince, has the highest identity in this empire. Maybe there is nothing, but as long as there is this identity, it can be said that they have everything.

"Is that true?" Liu Xie was a little stunned after hearing this, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Before this, he thought of this level, but he didn't go too far, so he didn't think of this. After listening to it, he suddenly realized that it was true that his identity was destined to be a completely different destiny from others.

"That's it. So, when the minister asks for something, don't be stingy and not giving it to him. Since the world is yours, so what if you give something? As long as the ministers can do things well and give them some rewards, it is necessary."

"As long as they keep their duties as ministers, then those are what they deserve. Furthermore, no matter what the minister wants or what they want to plan, as long as he does not want to rebel, then give it to him." Empress Dowager Dong said slowly.

She is not the kind of woman who doesn't know anything after living in the harem for so many years. Even if a person who doesn't know anything, as long as he stays in the palace for a long time, she will know a lot of things. Moreover, she is still in the royal family, and she sees more things and knows more things.

What I am talking about now is just some of the most basic principles of being the king.

"Xie'er, you have to remember that no matter what Dong Zhongying wants now, you can promise him all. You can also give it to him after the matter is done. If he wants something he shouldn't want, then when necessary, you can take back what he already has!" Empress Dowager Dong's voice revealed a little chill.

The Han family also had many experiences of being controlled by powerful ministers and relatives, but in the end, all these powerful ministers and relatives became dry bones, and only the Han court remained forever.
