Eunuchs cannot be independent and strong, and their power rests on the imperial power.

He Lian's wooing of Liu Cang did not promise any glory, but it could be said to be unscrupulous.

She would not promise power to Liu Cang because her purpose was to let her son inherit the throne and become the emperor. She only gave Liu Cang convenience and hope. As for power and rewards, they would naturally be given by the emperor or future emperors.

After recognizing Liu Cang's value, He Lian's communication with Liu Cang became unscrupulous, because she had unscrupulous capital, her son took advantage of this orthodoxy, and Liu Hong had nothing to do with her.

Liu Hong can be ignored. It's hard for outsiders to say. Anyway, according to Liu Cang's observation, He Lian has basically ignored Liu Hong. Her words and deeds are full of disregard. She seems to only focus on the birth of the prince and the new emperor.

It's hard to tell whether it was intentional or sincere, but He Lian was not only on guard against Liu Xie, but also on guard against her brother He Jin.

He Lian has many small thoughts. She wants her son to become the emperor and the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but she does not want mother and son to become puppets of the He family.

The queen did not stand firmly on the side of her relatives. The queen also wanted to use the power of the eunuchs to check her relatives. To be precise, the queen did not stand on the side of her relatives, but on the side of the emperor.

Well, the queen is on the side of the future emperor.

The queen did not want her relatives to dominate, and she did not mind the internal eunuchs competing with He Jin. In fact, compared to the two, He Lian was more on guard against He Jin.

This gave the eunuch group hope. The Queen, a prospective teammate, is here.

Most of the eunuchs who hold power in the dynasty are die-hard confidants of the emperor, whether they are the current emperor or the future emperor.

The eunuchs all knew Liu Hong's daily routine and physical condition very well, and there was almost no suspense that Liu Hong would kill himself early.

Issues involving the future emperor.

One is the eldest son of the emperor who holds righteousness and legitimacy. Behind him stands the queen who supports the operation of the palace. Her family is rich and powerful.

One is the emperor's second son who will soon be fatherless and motherless. He may be thrown into the well by the queen at any time. Behind him stands the queen mother who only wants to take.

For the group of eunuchs who can only stand behind the emperor, there is no need to say more about how to choose.

The queen is jealous. To the outside world, the queen He Lian has almost nothing wrong with her except being jealous.

But jealousy is a family matter, and Liu Hong has never set up a prince. He plays naked in the pavilion, opens his crotchless pants, and rides a sheep to get lucky. It is a prosperous thing. No queen can have a lot of harem concubines on her.

Throw it into the well?

Without some means, she would be damned if she could still sit in the position of queen.

The eunuch group thinks the queen is good, the relatives group thinks the queen is their queen, the scholar-bureaucrats recognize the orthodoxy, the aristocratic family has no conflict with the queen, and Cai Yong's group of neutrals, as long as the queen doesn't throw Liu Xie into the well, they won't feel bad about the queen.

Something is wrong.

At least during this period when no one lifted the table, Queen He Lian could be said to have played a good hand.

Just like He Lian said, Zhang Rang would not do anything to embarrass her.

Not to mention Zhang Rang, whoever among the ten constant servants who tried to embarrass He Lian would be in trouble, and whoever tried to stop Liu Bian's imperial path would be ripped off.

Except for the issue about Liu Hong's son, He Lian pressed forward generously on other matters.

The queen didn't care about anything. She just waited for Liu Hong to die and her son to ascend the throne.

This is a woman who can grasp the key points, but Liu Hong? Oh, forget it, let's talk about something happy.

Liu Cang's strength in force exceeded He Lian's expectation, and what was originally a beating turned into a sincere win over.

Liu Cang was young, had no foundation, and was a member of the Han clan whose family fortune was not too clean. He Lian believed that he could become the right-hand man of the future Han Emperor.

Maybe he can also become a good candidate to form a check and balance with the general in the military aspect.

Today's empress of the Han Dynasty has really taken care of everything that an emperor should worry about.

Well, it's about checks and balances. He Lian didn't want to quarrel with her family, but she didn't expect that He Jin would be the first to flip the table in the future. And he would lead the trend of everyone flipping the table together.

After a meeting with the queen, Liu Cang finally felt like he could see the bright moon through the clouds.

Sui Dan was fine. At the end of 184 AD in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong changed the Yuan Dynasty to "Zhongping". In the second year, the world celebrated.

Just after New Year's Day, General He Jin took the excuse that wild beasts had spread to many mountains in Shanglin Garden, and the wild beasts were invading the people in surrounding counties.

He was responsible for the poor management of the Shanglin Garden. He wanted to donate 500 troops and horses to Jianzhang Palace. He thought it was a maneuver and asked Liu Hong to order the Shanglin Garden to clean up the ferocious beasts in various places in Shanglin Garden.

Jianzhang Palace received 500 troops and horses. While Liu Hong was pained and happy, Liu Cang entered the palace for the third time and faced Liu Hong's accusations.

Regarding Liu Hong's accusation, Liu Cang responded silently. Shanglinyuan is the private land of the royal family, and the troops stationed in Shanglinyuan are the emperor's private soldiers. They give you war horses, and you still want them. Do you blame me?

It was impossible for He Jin to seduce Liu Cang because of Liu Hong's behavior. Obviously, this was the queen's attempt to win over Liu Cang.

But Liu Hong had no choice. He couldn't let Liu Cang antagonize the queen, right? He couldn't even do it.

Fortunately, the queen was only gentle and did not deal harshly with Liu Cang. This has fully proved Liu Cang's ability and necessity in the position of Shanglin Yuanling.

Liu Hong made various accusations against Liu Cang. They all boiled down to the fact that Liu Cang was training troops to let others seize the opportunity. They were young and immature and not rigorous enough, and they were overestimating their capabilities. Anyway, it was just a bunch of mindless accusations.

All in all, we cannot take the queen lightly just because she has collected the war horses. Shanglin garrison troops are not allowed to be transferred to the Nangong Palace. However, any changes in the Zhang Palace must be reported in time, etc.

He will give you five hundred war horses? I will give you another thousand, um, and allow Liu Cang to tame a thousand wild horses in Linyuan. Aren't they just horses? I have some too.

The emperor and the empress got into a fight. The empress seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Hong's actions, so she sent twenty female officials to Jianzhang Palace, and sent hundreds of harem criminals to the Jianzhang Palace to violently break up the palace.

After He Lian regained his prestige in the harem, Liu Hongjing observed Liu Cang's movements and found that the affairs of Jianzhang Palace were still firmly controlled by Liu Cang, the order of Shanglinyuan. When Liu Hong was proud, he no longer paid attention to the situation in Shanglinyuan.

At this point, except for handling some trivial matters in Shanglin Garden, Liu Cang seemed to have no outside interference.

Capturing wild horses and training cavalry cannot be completed in a military camp or school field.

Almost all of the soldiers stationed in Shanglin were hunters. They rode all over Shanglin Garden, attacked, rode and shot, adapting to various terrains. At the same time, the wild wolves and ferocious beasts in Shanglin Garden also faced Liu Cang's disaster.

Shanglinyuan covers an area of ​​more than 300 square kilometers, but there are five mountain systems crisscrossing it, so the actual land area is far more than this.

In one month, Liu Cang led a group of 2,000 people and only raided the Xiong'er Mountain and Waifang Mountain areas, clearing out more than 7,000 wild wolves.

In nature, the eradication of ferocious beasts must start with wolves, because wolves are good at gathering in packs, there are too few ferocious beasts that prey on wolves, and wolves have particularly strong reproductive capabilities.

If we first deal with ferocious beasts such as tigers and bears, wolves will not be suppressed in nature, and they may become overrun in two to three years.

In this day and age, no one cares about letting wolves become extinct. They are of no value to humans. The elimination of more than 7,000 wild wolves is enough to double the number of other animals in this area within a year or two.
