Reincarnation in the Three Kingdoms Era with a System

Chapter 670: 670 Reunion with Empress Dowager Dong

"You want me to control the East Gate?"

Lu Ming glanced at it and said to Xu Shu, "You want me to control even a passage to the palace? Otherwise, what if they ambush me when I enter the palace? They've done that before, so if you don't agree, we won't go in. Send down the order to relocate all residents near Luoyang, intercept any merchant caravans, take their goods, and let them demand their compensation from the Yuan family and the Crown Prince."

"My lord, this will lose you the people's hearts," Lu Su hurriedly advised. He was now on a sinking ship, with no way off. "You can disguise yourself as someone else, just be careful, and put pressure on Luoyang."

Lu Ming looked in the direction of Luoyang, even though he had just gotten up from the woman.

He was still full of energy. "The books in Luoyang can better train more people at the grassroots level. This is a war against the world. In just five years, we can conquer the Central Plains. Don't worry about temporary gains or losses; soon the world will be in chaos. Hehehe, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, let him enfeoff the governors as kings."

"Anyone who is not of the Liu clan and becomes a king will be attacked by the whole world."

Lu Ming chuckled coldly. "This world will be mine sooner or later!"

Xu Shu and Lu Su were both shocked. They knew that being enfeoffed as a king was not a good thing. Lu Ming didn't want to be enfeoffed as a king himself, but instead requested kingships for others…

Especially kings of different surnames—this was practically forcing them to their deaths!

Further fragmenting the Han dynasty into small pieces—everyone knew this was a poison coated with honey.

But who could refuse?

Death is death, and the birds fly to the sky; who cares about the deluge after death!

Luoyang City, Imperial Palace, Chengde Hall.

Liu Xie looked at Lu Ming's request, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

It was one thing to have the city gates controlled, but to demand the palace gates too? Wasn't this going too far?

However, Lu Ming promised that after his ascension to the throne and the funeral of Emperor Ling concluded, he would return to Chang'an.

This was clearly a return to his small, local strongman territory.

This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing was that it posed little threat to Liu Xie; the bad thing was that it was a thorn in his side!

"Granted."

Liu Xie was furious, but anger was useless; he could only approve.

"Furthermore, summon all the governors to the capital to pay homage to Emperor Xian."

Three days later, Lu Ming finally entered Luoyang.

Ten thousand men controlled the west gate, another ten thousand were providing support outside the city, and five thousand controlled the west gate of the imperial palace. At this point, Lu Ming's safety was guaranteed.

This was power—no, power derived from strength.

Dong Zhuo, beaming, followed the Crown Prince into Luoyang. This time, he was being courted by the Crown Prince. He could finally leave Bingzhou, that harsh, desolate land.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Lu Ming and Dong Zhuo bowed to each other. Dong Zhuo was respectful, but Lu Ming was somewhat frivolous.

"No need for formalities. I've long heard that Governor Lu is a tiger and wolf general. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Liu Xie's words were loaded with meaning, though he didn't say them aloud, a subtle barb.

"Your subject has presented the Emperor's decree, guarding the border, serving the Han Dynasty, with a clear conscience. This Han Dynasty belongs to Your Majesty; I am merely repaying the late Emperor's kindness."

Lu Ming's words were blunt: this is all because of your father's influence, not your sister's.

"A fine 'clear conscience,' indeed! Minister Lu, the defense of the enthronement ceremony is entrusted to you."

Liu Xie's enthronement ceremony was in seven days, so he wanted to use this opportunity to win over Lu Ming.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. I am ignorant of etiquette and unfit for such a great responsibility. Moreover, I will soon return to Xiliang. The Xiongnu barbarians are restless, and the Northern Rakshasa Kingdom has already defeated the Northern Xiongnu and could invade south at any time. They have lived in this harsh land for a long time, and their people are fierce. The Kushan Empire in the west is also eyeing the borderlands covetously. Emperor Xian once ordered that we should not enter the capital unless absolutely necessary. Now, I have failed to see the late Emperor one last time; I am ashamed."

Lu Ming feigned tears, but there were hardly any tears in his eyes.

Liu Xie showed some disdain, but did not reveal it. "So it is only Minister Lu who can guard the border. Very well, how about entrusting this matter to General Dong?"

"Your Majesty, I will do my utmost!"

Dong Zhuo shouted loudly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Ming took his leave, clearly indicating his animosity towards Liu Xie.

This infuriated Liu Xie, yet he couldn't bring himself to harm him.

Leaving Chengde Palace, Lu Ming arrived at Changle Palace.

Empress Dowager Dong dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, emerging heavily pregnant. "Lu Ming, you've finally arrived."

Lu Ming went over and pinched Empress Dowager Dong's chin, a lewd smile playing on his lips. "I told you, you'd call me husband! You're five months along now, aren't you? In half a month, after the late emperor's funeral, I'll take you back to Chang'an."

Empress Dowager Dong was held in Lu Ming's arms. An older woman being embraced by a young man made her feel somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.

Feeling the man caress her belly, she felt a mixture of shame and a long-lost restlessness. "Husband..."

"You old slut...wanting to be fucked, huh...hehe..."

Lu Ming picked up Empress Dowager Dong and placed her on the phoenix couch, removing her clothes.

A fair, smooth body was revealed, with some wrinkles, but her belly, already bulging, actually smoothed out the wrinkles.

Her thick pubic hair appeared somewhat disheveled, and a small path hidden in the dark forest looked slightly damp.

"Oh...no...no...it will...get the baby..."

Empress Dowager Dong was still worried, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and fear.

But while she spoke, her body obeyed.

She had been in a state of constant anxiety, but now that Lu Ming was back, she finally didn't need to force herself to stay strong. Her strained spirit relaxed, and she became much more drowsy.

Lu Ming took out a bowl of ginger tea and a bowl of kava tea for Empress Dowager Dong.

Ginger tea is invigorating, while kava tea relieves anxiety and boosts immunity. After giving it to Empress Dowager Dong, he couldn't wait to spread her legs.

Looking at the old woman's vulva, which was noticeably darker due to pregnancy, he felt a surge of excitement.

He decided to completely subdue Empress Dowager Dong, so he could take her to the imperial harem, where she could serve him alongside his maternal and paternal grandmothers!

Getting a young girl pregnant, and getting a fifty-something-year-old woman pregnant, were both extremely stimulating things.

These two extremes represented two extremes of perverse desire. Doing it once was enough; doing it every time would probably make one's whole being become somewhat strange.
