Guan Yu asked curiously, "If the dukes in this place hand in hand, wouldn't the imperial government interfere?"

Two days later, early in the morning, just as the sun was about to rise, Chen Lang brought a dozen guards over to Luoyang. The Luoyang City was still very quiet, other than the officials who cleaned the streets early, there were only officials like Chen Lang who rushed over to the morning assembly. The imperial government had decreed that all civil and military officials who were at least fifth-grade in the capital must attend the morning assembly. If they did not attend, they would be convicted of bullying the monarch. On the streets, generals rode their horses, civil servants rode their cars, the clatter of horses' hooves and the creak of their doors gathered towards the imperial palace.

When Chen Lang arrived at the great hall, there were already a few civil and military officials gathered there. Everyone was chatting in groups of three or five.

Chen Lang saw Huang Pusong, Zhu Jun and an elderly minister gathered together and talking, and then stepped forward and greeted: "General Huang Po, General Zhu!" Seeing that it was Chen Lang, the two of them bowed in return. The official that Chen Lang did not know asked Huang Pusong: "Does this general look familiar?" Huang Pusong said: "He is the young and capable general that I told Brother Lu about. Chen Lang, he is now the General Ying Yang of the Imperial guards." The Minister that Chen Lang did not know was actually Lu Zhi. Back then, when he had calmed down the Disorder of yellow napkin, Chen Lang had crossed arms with him and so he did not know him.

Hearing that it was Chen Lang, Lu Zhi frowned, he sized Chen Lang up, snorted, and said: "You look like a genius, but you're nothing but a thief!" With that, he left. Chen Lang was completely baffled by Lu Zhi's words. Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun's expressions were a little unnatural. Zhu Jun said: "Little brother, please do not be offended, Master Lu has such a temper, he has always hated evil!"

Chen Lang laughed bitterly: "I do not mind, but listening to what Master Zhu said, it seems like I have become someone who has committed a great sin?" Zhu Jun immediately explained: "That's not what I meant!" Looking at Chen Lang, he said: "I'm afraid that the eunuch must have put in quite a bit of effort to be able to sit in this position right?"

Chen Lang immediately understood. After such a long time, these ministers had finally treated him as a eunuch. However, this matter was probably unclear.

Huang Pusong said: "Little brother, Uncle Dong Guo has come. We will be leaving first." With that, the two of them cupped their hands towards Chen Lang and quickly left to welcome a middle-aged man who had just entered the door.

Chen Lang laughed, and thought: It looks like I am now part of a group of scoundrels.

"Brother Chen!" A voice suddenly came from behind him. Chen Lang turned around, only to see a white-faced man with a square face and a dignified appearance. He looked like an extraordinary man with a face full of smiles as he walked over, and he was actually Cao Cao, whom he had met before when he annihilated the xanthopanax.

Cao Cao Cao walked in front of Chen Lang, cupped his fists and laughed: "That day, brother Chen's demeanor was still the same!"

Chen Lang returned the greeting, and laughed: "Brother Meng De is even more elegant than before!"

Cao Cao laughed out loud, "What a joke!"

Chen Lang looked at Huang Pusong and the others in the distance, and self-deprecatingly said to Cao Cao Cao: "I am now a group of adulterers, aren't you afraid that Brother Meng De will embarrass himself by talking to me?"

Cao Cao Cao laughed, "If brother Chen is a traitor, then wouldn't I, Cao Mengde, be a genuine traitor? "You must know that my grandfather was the one who always served Cao Teng!" Cao Teng was not Cao Cao's biological grandfather. Cao Teng was a eunuch, so there was no descendants. Cao Cao Cao was Cao Teng's grandson because Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was Cao Teng's adopted son. Cao Cao became the eunuch's grandson. Cao Cao's biological grandfather was Xiahou Rui, the Xiahou family, which is why the Xiahou brothers belong to Cao Cao's family.

Seeing that Cao Cao was not afraid of revealing his background, Chen Lang could not help but cupped his fists: "Cao Mengde is indeed not an ordinary person! Such magnanimity is truly admirable! "

Cao Cao Cao looked at Chen Lang and said: "At that time, when I first met Brother Chen, I felt close to him! Because I feel that Brother Chen and I are very similar, they are both ambitious men! At the same time, he is also a true hero who does not care about small matters in order to achieve his goals! " Then, he glanced at Huang Pusong and the others in the distance, his eyes revealed ridicule, and said: "Many ministers are obsessed with the so-called defense against evil and righteousness, they do not understand changes, what can happen to them! There was no absolute righteousness in the world, there was also no absolute evil, if one was not certain, then it would turn into evil. Evil could turn into righteousness if properly applied, as long as one could help the world, all kinds of methods could be used! What's wrong with being friends with an eunuch! " Chen Lang could only feel that Cao Cao's words were extremely appetizing, as he faintly smiled.

Cao Cao said, "Brother Chen and I have known each other for a long time, but we have yet to have the chance to drink together. "If the sun is not high enough, why don't we go to the restaurant and drink a cup of wine after the dynasty is over?" Chen Lang laughed: "That's exactly what I want!"

At this moment, a eunuch came out of the manor and threw out his horsetail whisk, shouting loudly, "His Majesty has arrived!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped talking and went to their respective seats. The previously bustling main hall immediately quietened down. The civil and military classes were divided into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right. They bowed their heads in greeting. Wherever the bead curtain moved, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a pearl crown came out, escorted by a few palace maids. He climbed the steps and sat on the dragon throne.

"My beloved officials, for the rest of your lives!" Chen Lang heard the lifeless voice of a middle-aged man. The ministers acknowledged and raised their heads. Only now did Chen Lang clearly see the emperor's face, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Even though the burly man in front of him was only thirty to forty years old, he had a haggard appearance, high cheekbones, listless eyes, and a stooped body. How could such an emperor lead the Darkhan Empire! Chen Lang suddenly felt that it was normal for something to go wrong, and it would be a miracle if there wasn't!

The emperor made a face at Zhang Jean, who immediately raised his voice, "If there's anything, perform it early. If there's nothing else, leave the court!"

The leading military general of the Zuo Lie Martial General immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this official has something to say!" The Emperor looked at him and said dispiritedly, "It's … it's our beloved one. Say it." So it turned out that the general who had come out was the person with the highest authority, General He Jin.

He Jin said: "Your Majesty, the world has no more important matters than the continuation of the country. The emperor is uncertain, and the people of the world are unstable, so we cannot delay the establishment of the treasure deposit any longer. We request that Your Majesty make a decision early on, and establish the eldest prince, Liu Bian, as the crown prince with the hearts of the tens of thousands of people!" Many ministers and generals joined in.

The emperor looked displeased and said, "I have to consider this matter carefully."

He Jin anxiously replied: "Your majesty, do not hesitate!"

The official in charge of the list immediately walked out, it was the uncle Dong Guo that Huang Pusong had mentioned previously. Only to see Uncle Dong Guo angrily asking He Jin: "Is the Great General trying to force the palace?" Hearing that, He Jin's heart shivered, he immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, I am only worried about the matters of the nation, I would definitely not dare to offend you!" The emperor looked pale and said, "It is good that the great general is worried about the matters of the kingdom. However, the matter of establishing a reserve is my family's matter. The general will do what he has to do! " He Jin was submissive.

The Emperor looked tired, and gave a look to the eunuch standing in front of him. At the latter part of the meeting, he immediately raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is settled. Withdraw from the throne!" All of the martial arts students still had something to begin with, but they didn't dare to force themselves to submit their books after seeing this situation. One after another, they gave out their blessings and left the palace.

Cao Cao Cao and Chen Lang walked together, pulling Chen Lang to a very grand restaurant. The restaurant's signboard had the words' Du Kang Building '.

Cao Cao pointed at the restaurant and laughed, "This Du Kang Building is the most famous restaurant in the Luoyang City. Needless to say, the dishes are also its wine." As he said this, Cao Cao's face revealed an expression of endless intoxication, "Du Kang's wine, it's really intoxicating!" He then pulled Chen Lang in and sat him by the window on the second floor.

A waiter came up to them and said to Cao Cao with a smile, "Good morning, Master Cao!" Seeing that the waiter was extremely familiar with Cao Cao Cao, Chen Lang knew that Cao Cao must be a regular customer of this restaurant.

Cao Cao said, "A jar of Du Kang wine and a few dishes with wine. "Go ahead." The waiter responded and hurriedly left. After a short while, he brought out a jar of wine and a few other dishes. He then told them to take it easy and left.

Cao Cao couldn't wait to break the seal, causing Chen Lang to smell a strong aroma of alcohol. It was completely different from the wine that he had drank before, and was also completely different from the wine that he had drunk in the future. Cao Cao took a deep breath, with an intoxicated expression on his face, he immediately lifted up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Chen Lang and himself. Putting down the wine jar, he picked up the bowl and gulped it down. With his eyes closed, he looked like he was enjoying the aftertaste of the wine. Chen Lang also picked up a wine bowl and dried it in one gulp. At that moment, he felt a strong wine aroma that seemed to lift his own soul up, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good wine! "Good wine!" Chen Lang couldn't help but think back to the Five Grains Liquid he had drank before. He only felt that the Five Grains Liquid was like a piece of rotten water when compared to Du Kang's Wine.

Seeing Chen Lang's intoxicated look, Cao Cao Cao laughed out loud. He picked up the wine jar and poured for the two of them, the two of them continuously drank, and without realizing it, the two of them drank five large bowls of wine. Just then, Chen Lang felt that Du Kang had another characteristic of wine. He did not have the usual strong feeling of strong alcohol, but unknowingly, he felt a little intoxicated.
