The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 965 The most dazzling light! (4000 words)
The next day, in the solemn Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, the emperor went to court early.

Liu Xie, who was wearing the emperor's clothes, walked to the center of the hall in a dignified manner amid the eunuch's notification, and slowly took his seat.

Seeing the emperor approaching the court, fifty or sixty courtiers standing in the hall pressed down the wat boards in their hands, bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, I wait to see you."

The sound is much lower than before.

It's no wonder that in the past when the court was in court, the courtiers in the entire hall stood relatively concentrated, including Yilang, there were two to three hundred people.But now, there are only these courtiers accompanying Shanglinyuan, scattered, and most of the others have been sent to prison to wait for their punishment.

"Where did some Chaoqing go, why didn't you see the early court?" Liu Xie raised his brows after taking his seat, and asked knowingly.

Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Liu Pu who stood in front of the officials were silent, since they returned to the city yesterday, they learned more or less inside information from their respective bureaucrats.

After the cold was over, Wang Yun also came to the end.

The current Chang'an City is tightly held by that tuberculosis man.

"Your Majesty, during your absence in Chang'an, the thief Fuwan conspired with Situ Wangyun, Zongzhengqing Liu Bai and others to rebel. Fortunately, the general's military division discovered the wine sacrificial trick in time and planned a strategy to catch them all. imprison."

The Shangshu ordered Zhang Yuan to go out, bowed to report to the emperor, and then said in a bitter voice: "Your Majesty, such rebellious thieves with ulterior motives should be punished for their crimes! I implore your majesty to decree to behead all these rebels and treat them as righteous men." law!"

Hearing these words, Liu Xie felt a chill in his heart.

Most of these imprisoned officials were Lu Bu's opponents. With them in the court, they could more or less act as a check and balance.If they beheaded all of them, wouldn't it be the same as uprooting them? From now on, it will be the opinion of Lu Bu's family in this court!
Seeing that Liu Xie hadn't made up his mind, other officials in the hall knelt down and kowtowed, pressed down the wat board, and shouted in unison: "Please issue an order to punish the traitors and rectify the law of the Han Dynasty!"

Are you trying to force me to death!

Liu Xie was heartbroken, the entire court had become Lu Bu's henchmen.

In desperation, he had no choice but to look at the remaining two of the three men, pinning his hopes on them.As long as he is willing to help, Liu Xie will be able to push the boat along and forgive the sins of Fu Wan and others.

"Your Majesty, I have been ill recently and my limbs are weak. Therefore, I want to ask Your Majesty to resign from the position of Taiwei. Please allow me." Taiwei Yang Biao said in a weak tone, as if to confirm His body was unwell, and he coughed violently.

After Yang Biao's voice fell, Sikong Liu Pu also came out and said: "Your Majesty is the same as Taiwei Gong. I am over fifty years old this year. My eyes are dim and I am getting old. I can no longer support your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty." En Zhunchen resigned from his position as Sikong, and spent his days at home..."

Retiring bravely from the rapids is called knowing the opportunity.

At this juncture, whoever dares to intercede for these people after Fu Wan is clearly an enemy of the play.

The ploy did not uproot the entire Guanzhong family, but wiped out those families that participated in the rebellion, in order to sound a heavy alarm for those who have not yet stood by.

Hearing Yang Biao and Liu Pu's resignation, Liu Xie's eyes flashed a gloomy look. When they were hunting in Shanglinyuan a few days ago, these two old men were in high spirits!
But now, what can he say?
"We'll discuss this matter later, I'm tired, let's retreat today!"

Liu Xie didn't look at the courtier kneeling on the ground below, and waved his hands weakly. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he didn't do anything.

After going to court, in Ganquan Palace, precious porcelain was smashed all over the place.

After venting the anger in his chest, Liu Xie, who was roaring and roaring before, sat quietly on the ground with a gloomy face, as if he was a different person, without saying a word.

For a while, the palace was eerily quiet.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Han Xuan bowed down and asked carefully.

At this time, only he dared to step forward and talk to the emperor.

Liu Xie took a deep breath, suppressing his irritable mood, raised his head slightly, and said to the confidant eunuch: "Han Xuan, send someone to call for the trick, I want to see him."

Han Xuan nodded in response.

Afterwards, he arranged for a little Huangmen to go out of the palace and go to the theater.

Not long after, Xiao Huangmen, who announced the decree, came back.

He reported to Liu Xie that he joked that he was unwell and could not enter the palace to face the saint. Please forgive me.

After hearing the news, Liu Xie's face became very ugly.

He is the Son of Heaven of today's Great Han Dynasty. Although the imperial power has fallen, he still has the name of Son of Heaven.Since ancient times, even if the person the emperor wants to see is too sick to get out of bed, as soon as the imperial decree arrives, he will be carried into the palace.

But this play is dismissed in a few sloppy sentences, it is simply arrogant, and it doesn't take the emperor in my eyes at all!

Liu Xie was very angry, but he also knew that it was useless.

"Since he refuses to come to see me, then I have no choice but to go to his house in person!" A look of determination flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, no matter what, he wanted to give an explanation today.

This time out of the palace, Liu Xie kept things simple, only brought his confidant eunuch Han Xuan, and a few attendants from the Xiao Huangmen, and went to the opera house.

When they came to the gate of the opera mansion, the servant guarding the gate stretched out his hand to block it. Even if the officials of the current dynasty wanted to enter the mansion to ask for an audience, they had to wait outside the mansion first, and wait until the report was made.

How dare a mere servant dare to stop Sheng Jia!

Seeing this, Han Xuan immediately pointed at the gatekeepers and yelled: "You are blind, do you know who this nobleman is! If you don't go and call everyone in your house, Your Majesty is here! , let them go out to greet them quickly!"

Hearing this, the janitor's legs were so frightened that he almost peed on his pants, and immediately fell to his knees, banging his head and shouting 'the villain deserves to die'.

Another servant rushed to the mansion to report.

Not long after, the servant came out from the mansion, and with a bitter face, he confessed to the emperor: "My master said that he has bad legs and feet, so he can't come out to greet him. Please go back to the palace earlier, Your Majesty."

"presumptuous!"

Han Xuan was furious, and made a gesture to step forward and twist the servant's head off.

"Changshi Han!"

Liu Xie called out, then shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Forget it, let me go in by myself!"

…………

In the atrium of the opera house, only the bare branches of the huge cherry blossom tree are left, and new buds will be born in the coming spring.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Xi Ce, who was sitting in a wheelchair, rolled up his sleeves and closed his eyes.

Waiting obediently beside him is his father-in-law, Dong Cheng.

If there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Dong Cheng came here this time to ask for help from the play.

Right now, the fall is over, so Dong Cheng wondered if he could also take advantage of the situation to bring down the empress in the palace.

Dong Cheng's youngest daughter has been named noble, if Fu Shou also falls, then his daughter is the best candidate for the new empress.Last time, because of Wang Yun's indirect intervention, the Queen's position fell into the hands of the Fu family.

This time, Dong Cheng didn't want to miss it again.

Xi Ce opened his eyes and glanced at his father-in-law, Dong Cheng was eager for quick success, how could he not know what he was thinking?

After a while, a servant came to report anxiously, saying that the emperor was coming, and all the people in the mansion were invited to come out of the mansion to meet him.

Xie Ce was indifferent to this, he asked the servant to go out to answer, saying that he had bad legs and feet, and asked the emperor to return to the palace earlier.

Hearing this, Dong Cheng hesitated and said: "My son-in-law, Your Majesty has already arrived at the door of the house. Wouldn't it be too good if you don't go to greet him?"

"The Son of Heaven came here just to plead for Fu Wan's party. I will not back down on this matter, so there is no need to see him." Xie Ce said lightly, without any disturbance on his face.

If he dared to block the emperor from outside the mansion, it is estimated that he was the only one in the entire Han Dynasty.

Seeing his son-in-law's resolute attitude, Dong Cheng couldn't say anything more.

He was about to continue talking with Xi Ce about the topic just now, when a vigorous figure was walking towards here vigorously.

If you look closely, if it's not today, who is it!

Seeing this, Dong Cheng hurriedly bowed his head and bowed to the emperor: "I, Dong Cheng, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

But Liu Xie didn't pay attention at all, he looked straight at the thin scribe in the wheelchair, and tried to joke as much as possible: "Mr. Xi, I want to enter your mansion, but it's really difficult to enter!"

"Your Majesty is here, and the little people are far away to welcome you, and I hope to forgive you." Xie Ce turned sideways, and said the words of apology, but his demeanor seemed to be unaware of his mistake.

Liu Xie stepped forward, he glanced at Dong Cheng, the latter immediately understood, bowed and said goodbye: "Since your Majesty has something to discuss with your virtuous son-in-law, I will take my leave."

At this time, Dong Cheng wisely chose to leave.

Afterwards, Xi Ce and Liu Xie came to a stone pavilion and sat opposite each other.

Hu Che'er waited outside the pavilion, while Han Xuan served inside the pavilion. After cleaning the tea set, he offered to pour a cup of mild tea for the emperor.

Liu Xie looked down, and pushed the porcelain cup filled with tea to Xi Ce.

"Mr.'s legs, have they ever gotten better?" Liu Xie asked with concern.

Xi Ce didn't care about this, and said lightly, it probably won't get better.

The voice was neither humble nor overbearing, as if talking about a trivial matter.

"Sir, don't be discouraged. I'll invite the royal doctor in the court to come and have a look. I might be able to find some clues and find a cure." Liu Xie comforted him with regretful lamentation in his eyes.

Look at this tone and expression, if you don't know, you may really think that Drama is Liu Xie's good teacher and helpful friend.

Zhang Zhongjing was helpless to laugh at the plot, let alone those ordinary quack doctors.

He looked at the young emperor in front of him, he had such a city at such a young age, and he knew how to endure and win people's hearts.If it had been 20 years earlier, perhaps the plot would have been moved by Liu Xie's words and deeds.

But now, this little trick can be seen through at a glance.

"Your Majesty came here today, I'm afraid it's not just to greet the little people, right?"

Xie Ce ended the topic, and asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Liu Xie picked up the water glass and took a sip, narrowed his long eyes, and said casually: "I would like to ask you to hold your hands high and let them go."

Xie Ce chuckled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is a matter under the jurisdiction of Ting Wei Mansion and Chang'an Order. Your Majesty should go to them instead of asking me, the cripple."

If it is useful to find them, why would I come to your house!

Liu Xie ate the teacup in his hand, slandering him in his heart, but at this time he couldn't break his face with the tricks, so he could only continue to say: "Ting Weiqing Xu Jing and Chang'an Ling Du Ji were both single-handedly promoted by generals, and they are also To obey my master, as long as my master is willing to give orders, Xu Jing and Du Ji naturally dare not disobey..."

"His Majesty!"

Xie Ce interrupted Liu Xie's words, and said with a smile: "You are too high on a certain person, Ting Weiqing and Chang'an Ling are your courtiers, whoever you want to pardon is not a matter of your Majesty's words? "

Liu Xie was at a loss for words.

He knew he couldn't talk about Xie Ce, so he cut straight to the point: "Xi Ce, don't go around making circles with me. Just give me a sweet word, what exactly is it that you are willing to let Fu Wan and the others go?"

"impossible."

Xie Ce shook his head slightly, his tone was very flat, but there was an undeniable affirmation.

"Xi Ce, don't go too far!"

Standing aside, Han Xuan couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes turned cold, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has already given you enough face by condescending to come to you. Don't push yourself too hard!"

"Face? What is that? Can it be eaten?"

Xi Ce's face showed sarcasm. To him, the so-called face is the most worthless thing in the world.

Han Xuan's face turned cold, and he bent down and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense with him, wait for your servant to capture him, and those who don't believe them will not obey obediently!"

Now, Xi Ce and the Son of Heaven are in the same pavilion, and the guard Hu Che'er is outside the pavilion, Han Xuan wants to capture Xi Ce, it's a breeze.

Although he didn't know what Han Xuan said, but through his demeanor, Xie Ce roughly guessed the content of the words.He drank his saliva very calmly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, say something rebellious and arrogant, if you take me as a hostage today, if you can walk half a step out of this theater, you will be considered incompetent."

The implication is self-evident.

If you dare to catch me, then wait for the fish to die!

Everyone don't live.

Liu Xie's eyes met with Xie Ce's for a while, but he finally lost with a guilty conscience. Xie Ce could give it a go, but he didn't dare to gamble with his life.

"In this way, I have a compromise. If you release 47 people including Fu Wan and Liu Bai, I can let your people replace the positions of other officials, how about it?"

This is already the biggest concession Liu Xie can make.

"Your Majesty, you forgot, I said just now that none of them will survive." Xie Ce repeated what he said just now.

Xie Ce refused to give in, and Liu Xie's suppressed anger surged up. He stood up abruptly, put his hands on the stone table, leaned forward, moved his slightly distorted face closer to Xie Ce, and growled: "Towards you!" Most of the ministers are missing in the hall, and many families have been exterminated, do you know what it means to do this!"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that the sky of the big man has collapsed!"

"Oh, so what?"

Xie Ce's expression was indifferent.

"I just want the people I care about to be safe and sound. As for whether the Han Dynasty is destroyed or not, whether it's Liu or not, what does it matter to me?"

Hearing these words, Liu Xie sat down slumped, looking extremely depressed, but he was still unwilling and tried to save Yi Er.

He looked at the scribe sitting across from him, grasping those withered hands, as if grasping the last straw: "Xi Ce, you have the talent to know the world, if you are willing to assist me, I will treat you as a national teacher!"

"You? Huh..."

Joke just smiled.

Feeling underestimated and insulted, Liu Xie turned ruthless, and questioned the plot: Apart from force, how can I compare to Lu Bu!
Xi Ce only said one thing.

Because the general,

It is the most dazzling light in my whole world!
