Chapter 181 Reshaping the Image 2
That night, Liu Bian stayed overnight at Tang Ji's residence, and the real dragon spirit was finally able to practice together again. After the day's events, Liu Bian felt that Tang Ji's attitude towards him had also changed a lot.

From the previous routine, everything must be dignified, and she has released some of the nature that a girl of her age should have.

And Liu Bian also took advantage of this period of time when he had nothing to do, so he simply established a new relationship with Tang Ji and Queen Mother He in his own way in the mansion.

Liu Bian first fully accepted the feeling in his heart from the original owner, Shaodi, towards Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji, and then used his unique modern thinking and way of doing things to deepen and consolidate this feeling.

As a result, the two of them recognized their own Liu Bian who was different from the past, and finally accepted themselves completely, knowing from the bottom of their hearts that the cowardly Liu Bian no longer existed.

This matter went very smoothly with Tang Ji. As a girl of the same age, Tang Ji accepted many new things proposed by Liu Bian very quickly.

For example, Liu Bian turned Go into backgammon to play that day.

This simple rule allowed Liu Bian and Tang Ji, two people who were not very accomplished in Go, to fight inextricably and enjoy themselves.

Another example is that later Liu Bian came up with a lot of games such as military flags and checkers, but in the end he lost to Gobang. .

Soon, the game of backgammon became popular in Sijiu other courtyards, but it just couldn't catch the attention of Queen Mother He.

It may be due to habits such as age and experience. Although the Empress Dowager He felt quite novel about these new things created by Liu Bian, she did not have a deep understanding of them.

If she was asked to choose a pastime, she would still play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although Empress Dowager He herself was not deeply influenced by culture when she was young, since she was favored by Emperor Ling, she also began to make up for these things, especially after Meiren Wang was favored by Emperor Ling again. It is far stronger than Empress Dowager He, a woman who was born in a butcher.

So these years, Empress Dowager He has already changed her usual style. Although her thoughts are still domineering, many things like this have become a habit.

"Mother, my child greets you."

In the early morning of this day, Liu Bian once again stood in front of the Empress Dowager He's door, greeting her as usual.

"Your Majesty has a heart."

Empress Dowager He smiled gently at Liu Bian and let Liu Bian enter the room.

"Mother, I am no longer the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, so don't call me that anymore."

Regarding Empress Dowager He, Liu Bian decided to use some other methods. The first thing was to make Empress Dowager He change her name for herself.

Although it is a small thing, it can show that you are different from what you used to be.

Sitting on the chair, Liu Bian saw some dried fruit butcher shops beside him, so he immediately took out a few pieces of dried fruit, crushed the shells with a little force, took out the kernels, and handed them to Queen Mother He.

Empress Dowager He is wearing a luxurious Hanfu made of Tang silk today. She is not interested in the latest Tang suit skirts in the mansion, but is very fond of Tang silk fabrics, and one of the bright yellow is her favorite.

Empress Dowager He glanced at the nut in Liu Bian's hand with her charming but sharp eyes, then frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, are you going to give up the matter of regaining the throne? Back then, Dong Zhuo was so powerful that he arbitrarily abolished and set up important things, and he could do nothing! Now that Liu Xie sits on the throne, isn't it just as nameless? It's not as good as your Majesty back then." !"

"Although he, Liu Xie, is called the emperor, it's Dong Zhuo's arrogance! Where can you compare with Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Empress Dowager He has a strong obsession with killing Dong Zhuo and seizing the throne. She doesn't recognize the current Han court at all, and only recognizes Liu Bian.

"Also, Your Majesty, although you are not in the court, you are still my Han Emperor. This is what the servants do, how can I let you do it?"

Empress Dowager He didn't go to pick up the nuts in Liu Bian's hand, but turned her head away instead of looking at Liu Bian's hand.

It got off to a bad start.

Liu Bian didn't show the slightest strange look on his face, but shook his head slightly at Queen Mother He.

"No, mother, I am not the emperor of the Han Dynasty, at least not now. You should not call yourself an Aijia, because I am not the emperor, and you are not the queen mother, at least not now."

"What did you say!?"

Empress Dowager He turned her head abruptly, her winking eyes were full of anger!

From before, Liu Bian never refuted anything she said!

Today, this is the first time!
Although Liu Bian is the emperor in Empress Dowager He's mind, how dare he refute himself like this?
In fact, it was the Empress Dowager He and General He Jin that Liu Bian was able to inherit the throne of Emperor Ling, so even after succeeding to the throne, he has always been under the control of He Jin and Empress Dowager He.

Therefore, Empress Dowager He has always believed that she has the absolute right to manage Liu Bian and even the government.

Until He Jin died, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang.

But this habit has been preserved. In the past, Liu Bian had always maintained enough respect for Queen Mother He, so he treated her in the same way as before, which also caused this feeling to always exist in Queen Mother He's consciousness.

But this time, Liu Bian decided to break her cognition.

Facing Empress Dowager He's gaze, Liu Bian did not dodge at all, and replied directly:

"I said, I am not the emperor, and you are not the current queen mother."

"presumptuous!"

Empress Dowager He knocked the nut in Liu Bian's hand to the ground with one palm, and shouted:
"Have you forgotten the humiliation we have suffered? Have you forgotten our hatred with Dong Zhuo? Have you forgotten that you are the real emperor of the Han Dynasty!?"

Empress Dowager He spoke impassionedly, but Liu Bian did not respond.

He understands that since he wants to change the status quo and change the Empress Dowager He's perception of herself, arguing is definitely not a good way.

Quietly waited for Queen Mother He to finish speaking, and waited for her mood to gradually stabilize.

Only then did Liu Bian continue to speak:

"Mother, what kind of person do you think deserves to be called the Son of Heaven?"

Empress Dowager He was taken aback, she had never thought about this question, but her past cognition and current emotions made her instinctively reply: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven!"

"Is it because of my bloodline? I am the prince of you and the former emperor?"

Liu Bian did not rush to refute this time, but followed Queen Mother He's answer and asked her back.

Queen Mother He nodded naturally.

"Of course!"

"But, the former King Chen Liu and the current Emperor Xian Liu Xie are also the princes of the late emperor. What is the difference between him and me? Why do you say that I am the emperor and he is not?"

Liu Bian continued to ask, but Empress Dowager He was taken aback again, but her own personality made her unwilling to easily admit that she had a flaw, and immediately said stiffly:
"Of course the two of you are different! He was born of a beautiful woman, but Aijia was the queen! Moreover, when you ascended the throne, Your Majesty, there was no dissatisfaction in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty! Bloodline is more powerful! That’s why you are the emperor! And that King Chen Liu is not!”

"Ugh……"

Liu Bian sighed softly and said:

"Mother, you didn't become the queen until after I was born. At the beginning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not all support me to inherit the throne. It was my uncle's power that forcibly suppressed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so I became the emperor. .”

"When Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish me and set up King Chenliu, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it. It was Dong Zhuo who was powerful and suppressed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, which made King Chenliu the emperor. Thinking about it this way, except for Dong Zhuo's perverse actions and the abolition of the emperor. Apart from the new establishment, what is the difference between King Chenliu ascending the throne of God and me?"
