Chapter 182 Convincing Queen Mother He

"Bastard!"

Empress Dowager He was obviously not the type who would be easily persuaded by others. Even if Liu Bian said so, she still sternly refuted, even dropped the tea bowl in her hand, and stood up from her chair.

However, no matter how angry she was, she didn't know what words to use to refute Liu Bian. She could only point at him with trembling hands, but she couldn't say anything else except the word bastard.

Looking at her appearance, Liu Bian knew that his words had blocked Queen Mother He in a dead end.

But Liu Bian did not show any strength. On the contrary, he stood up from the chair, squatted directly on the ground, and went to pick up the tea bowl that Empress Dowager He had smashed on the ground.

"Mother, please forgive me. The child didn't intend to make mother angry. I rule the world with filial piety. Today, the child is considered a criminal."

Looking at Liu Bian who was squatting on the ground picking up the pieces of the tea bowl, Empress Dowager He's eyes flashed with impatience. Although the two had some verbal conflicts, this was her biological son after all.

She opened her mouth, but Queen Mother He didn't speak.

Liu Bian picked up all the tea bowls and put them on the table beside him, then looked at Empress Dowager He and said:

"Mother, I will definitely kill Dong Zhuo, return to the court, and regain the throne. I understand your wish, and I will definitely help you achieve it, but right now, at least right now, I think I can't be called Your Majesty yet."

"you……"

Empress Dowager He wanted to say something, but Liu Bian reached out and held her hand, preventing her from continuing.

"Mother, my child thinks that to become a real son of heaven, possessing my orthodox blood is just one of the conditions. You also said that Liu Xie is just a false emperor when he is on the Dragon Chair. Why? One is because he has no power of his own, and the entire imperial court is actually controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the other is that in the eyes of all the princes and people in our Han Dynasty, he has nothing worthy of being called an emperor."

"So, my child thinks that if you really want to be the Son of Heaven, blood, power, strength, and the popular support of all people are indispensable."

When Liu Bian spoke, he kept looking directly into Empress Dowager He's eyes. Through his superhuman five senses and some kind of sensory addition similar to God's perspective, he could feel that Empress Dowager He's psychological defense began to loosen.

"Mother."

Liu Bian held Empress Dowager He's hand with a little force, emphasizing the solemnity and seriousness of his speech with his actions.

"What I want to become is this kind of emperor. What I want to do is not only to eradicate Dong Zhuo, but also to calm the world and let all people return to their hearts. Then I will go to the court dignifiedly and become the emperor who is truly willing to submit to the world!"

"And to do this, what the boy needs to do now is to accumulate his own strength first. Like now, we already have Luoyang, Hanoi County, and Jibei. Soon, we will also have Youzhou and Yizhou, and then conquer Chang'an, pacify the entire north, and then go south to pacify the world!"

"So at present, the title of the child is still too far from that of the emperor. Until now, the child has always boasted of the shameful title of King Hongnong, just to spur himself. In addition, mother, you also You know, the child has been hiding his identity, so...even if this is our residence, we still need to be careful about many things."

"Therefore... please mother not to call the child this way anymore. If the mother is willing, please continue to use the title before the child ascended the throne as emperor."

As Liu Bian said, he picked up another preserved fruit with his other hand and handed it to Queen Mother He.

"My son just said that I rule the world with filial piety. Since I want to become an emperor, how can I not be filial? If my mother is willing to forgive me, please eat this preserved fruit, and I will be considered filial to my son."

Liu Bian's words were impeccable, and he was blocking Empress Dowager He with words both openly and secretly.

Liu Bian understood that according to Queen Mother He's domineering temperament, it would never work to argue with her in a tough way, and her opposition might even intensify.

So Liu Bian adopted a gentle strategy, directly starting from the relationship between mother and child, the filial piety that the big man admired, and showed weakness in action.

Where is the mother who doesn't love her child?
Maybe Queen Mother He is cruel to others, but she is absolutely not to her own children. The evidence can be found from Liu Bian's previous memory.

As long as this method is used to pry open the door of Empress Dowager He's heart, Liu Bian will immediately use Empress Dowager He's wish to talk things out.

Take revenge on Dong Zhuo and regain the throne.

If you want to ask who has the deepest obsession in this matter, it must be Queen Mother He.

Liu Bian used this matter to express his point of view, which was the easiest way to convince Queen Mother He, and finally fell on the filial piety between mother and child. Liu Bian believed that Queen Mother He would definitely not be able to stand up to this series of rhetoric!
At this time, Empress Dowager He's eyes and expression also showed this point.

Looking at the preserved fruit in Liu Bian's hand, Empress Dowager He's eyes softened a lot, but there was still a little hesitation on her face.

Liu Bian understood that she had already been persuaded by him in her heart, but she just acted a little too fiercely, and she was a little bit embarrassed for a while.

Simply holding the preserved fruit on his fingertips, Liu Bian knew that he had to go one step further at this time.

"Could it be that the mother doesn't like the preserved fruit, or is she still blaming the child? If so, the child can only kneel down and apologize to the mother."

As he spoke, Liu Bian handed the preserved fruit to Empress Dowager He's bright red lips, and made a gesture to get up.

"Hey! You are going to be the emperor! How can you just kneel when you say kneel?"

Empress Dowager He quickly opened her delicate lips and ate the preserved fruit in Liu Bian's hand in one gulp.

"What the mother taught is that the child will stop kneeling."

Liu Bian hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and laughed and played a trick, which gradually made Empress Dowager He smile.

"You child, why haven't I seen you so eloquent before? It seems that my argument has really grown up..."

"Of course, I was an emperor."

Liu Bian chuckled, then picked up a few pieces of preserved fruit and handed them to Queen Mother He.

"I don't like this, bring me a jerky."

"well."

……

Coming out of Empress Dowager He's residence, Liu Bian stretched long.

After some talking, the most useful sentence he got was the last sentence that the Empress Dowager He said that he has become different from before, that he has really grown up.

With these words, Liu Bian understood that he had opened the door for Empress Dowager He to re-establish her understanding of herself.

"If you fight against the outside world, you must settle down first. Only when my own mind is normal can I have the energy to plan other things. Otherwise, I will make a wedding dress for someone else in the end. I will not accept that kind of ending."

Liu Bian said something to himself, and then went directly to Shangguan Wan'er's garden.

It should be because Liu Bian said some words of approval to Diao Chan to Shangguan Wan'er after returning from the trip to Youzhou. Shangguan Wan'er has also started to hand over a lot of cloth business to Diao Chan. All the accounts of the state were handed over to Diao Chan.
