Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 116: Emperor Gaozu can do it, but I can’t?
Lu Bu claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and the grandfather of the future Han emperor.

When he saw Jia Xu, an old acquaintance who had once followed Dong Zhuo, he immediately regarded him as a traitor.

What's more, that day in the hall, Lu Bu saw with his own eyes Jia Xu and Yuan Shao's men standing together.

Although Liu Bei also disliked Jia Xu, a villain who helped the tyrant, he did not show it as obviously as Lu Bu. He secretly pulled Lu Bu and stepped past Jia Xu to salute: "Your Majesty."

"Uncle, Lord Wen, you've come just in time." Liu Xie said enthusiastically, and introduced Guo Jia and Jia Xu to them: "This is Guo Fengxiao, and this is Jia Wenhe, both of them are my trusted aides.

Liu Bei and Lu Bu were both stunned when they heard this.

What the hell?
Forget about Guo Jia, they don’t even know him.

Isn't Jia Xu a traitor? He first sided with Dong Zhuo and then defected to Yuan Shao. How did he become your Majesty's confidant?

Guo Jia nodded slightly and bowed to the two men: "Greetings to Lord Wen and Uncle Liu."

Jia Xu waved his fan and looked at Lu Bu with a smile: "Fengxian, long time no see."

Liu Bei returned the greeting, while Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu with a vigilant look, not hiding his hostility at all.

"Why are you here, traitor?"

Jia Xu just felt embarrassed.

Is this rough guy really unable to see the situation clearly? His Majesty has said that I am a confidant, why are you still holding on to the past?

I am a traitor, so I am not a traitor to you, Lu Fengxian?
Seeing that things were getting a little weird, Liu Xie was afraid that Lü Bu, who regarded himself as the prince's grandfather, would beat Jia Xu to death with one punch, so he quickly said:
"Lord Wen, Feng Xiaohe and Wenhe, are only pretending to serve Yuan Shao, but in reality they are loyal to the Han Dynasty."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked.

Your Majesty actually poached people right under Yuan Shao’s nose!

Lu Bu was also quite surprised, but he still didn't believe Jia Xu. Fearing that Liu Xie was deceived, he shouted at Jia Xu without giving him any face:
"Fatty Jia, when did you become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Are you such a person?"

As a former colleague, Lu Bu was very familiar with Jia Xu.

This guy is an expert at scheming and protecting himself, and is a complete selfish person.

Would such a person be loyal to the Han Dynasty?
It's even more outrageous than him giving up alcohol and sex!
Jia Xu was choked by Lu Bu's words, but he could not refute it.

After all, everything he had done before, one by one, could not be called a loyal minister.

He was annoyed and clapped his feather fan: "If you, Lü Fengxian, can be a loyal minister, why can't I be?"

Lu Bu could tell that Jia Xu was hinting that he had once followed Dong Zhuo and was even Dong Zhuo's adopted son.

He immediately glared at Jia Xu and said, "This general has always been a loyal minister!"

"At that time, you advised Li Jue and Guo Si to attack Chang'an, and it was I who defended the city!"

He gets angry whenever he talks about this. If Jia Xu hadn't used some tricks to instigate the soldiers in Chang'an City to rebel, Chang'an would never have been captured!

He doesn't have to abandon the emperor and run away like a stray dog!

There is no need to feel guilty and remorseful every time I meet the emperor.

"You...you are a traitor!"

After being exposed by Lu Bu in front of him, Jia Xu's face turned red with anger, and he even wanted to kill someone.

Damn it, we are in front of the Emperor, can't we just ignore some insignificant old things?

Lu Bu enjoyed the feeling of taking the moral high ground and scolding others. He sneered and said, "So what if I am a slave of three surnames? I have never betrayed Your Majesty and have always been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Moreover, this general also killed Dong Zhuo and captured Yuan Shu. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty! What about you, Fatty Jia? What have you done to deserve to call yourself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

Looking at Lu Bu's smug look, Jia Xu, who was being attacked in the face, was completely unable to refute, and in the end he was even angry and embarrassed by the scolding.

"You...you crude warrior, how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

"Why do I insult you?" Lü Bu did not back down and fought back. He stared at Jia Xu with his bull eyes, frightening him so much that he retreated again and again.

The atmosphere in the hall was getting tense and tense. Liu Xie, who had been watching the show for a while, stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.

"Mr. Wen, Mr. Wenhe, both of you calm down."

Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, Jia Wenhe is a traitor and a traitor. You must not trust him. Your Majesty, don't be deceived by his sweet words."

Jia Xu was in the wrong first. Even though he was eloquent, he could not defeat Lu Bu on the topic of loyal ministers and traitors. He said coldly: "Okay, okay, I, Jia Wenhe, am a traitor, and you, Lu Fengxian, are a loyal minister! May I ask, loyal minister, do you have a plan to save His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu immediately hung his head.

He is truly unrivaled in the world, and he is not afraid at all when charging into an army of thousands alone.

But there is really no way to rescue the emperor from Yecheng safely.

"That's enough, shut up!"

Just as Lu Bu was about to fight back, Liu Xie's voice rang out.

Although he was usually approachable, he had played the role of the emperor for such a long time, and Yuan Shao trained him regularly.

Everyone was already familiar with the emperor's majesty and demeanor, and the majesty he displayed in anger at this moment shocked everyone in the Xuanshi.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Jia Xu admitted his mistake immediately, and Lu Bu was also intimidated by the emperor's majesty and dared not act recklessly again.

Liu Xie looked at the two men with a sharp look and said in a cold voice: "Now we are facing a powerful enemy, and the thief Yuan has not been eliminated. You are fighting among yourselves! What is the difference between you and the counselors and generals under the thief Yuan?
"Since I let you meet, it means I trust you! There is no need to mention the past again!"

"Xiang Xiang was a member of Xiang Yu's clan. He later surrendered to Emperor Gaozu, who entrusted him with important tasks. His son even became the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Jingdi!"

"Emperor Gaozu trusted his people, so why can I do the same? Could it be that in your minds, I am a monarch without any generosity?"

Liu Xie's words were passionate and powerful.

The reason why he sat back and watched Lu Bu scold Jia Xu from the beginning was because he was waiting for this moment.

At this time he pretended to be angry and used the incident between Liu Bang and Xiang Xiang to show his magnanimity.

The purpose was to let Lu Bu and Jia Xu know that he would not hold a grudge against them for what they had done before.

Of course, as to whether he would be on guard in his heart, only he himself knew.

After all, none of these people are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu said that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in fact he had no ambition and did not have the desire to become emperor.

Apart from anything else, history books have recorded that he once wanted to send his daughter to marry Yuan Shu.

How loyal can such a person be to the Han Dynasty?
The human heart is hard to predict; the human heart is unpredictable.

Liu Xie relied on "righteousness" to win over Zhang He and Gao Lan, relied on "ideals" to win over Guo Jia, relied on "marriage" and "fame and fortune" to win over Lu Bu, and Zhen Mi relied on "tea".

Everyone has desires and everyone has selfish desires.

Whether they are seeking fame, wealth or personal ambitions, to put it bluntly, they are all just following desires. How could there be so many loyal and righteous people who are willing to make selfless contributions!
Loyal minister? Villain?
Liu Xie didn't care at all, as long as he could be used!
"I am aware of my guilt..."

Lu Bu felt his mouth go dry and he didn't even dare to look up.

Obviously, the emperor in front of him was not as tall or strong as him, but at this moment he felt afraid.

Is this the wrath of the emperor?

Jia Xu remained silent, but he felt admiration for the emperor in front of him.

Such a broad mind and tolerance is clearly what Emperor Gaozu would have done if he were still alive. He is not comparable to Yuan Shao and his ilk.

After secretly observing everyone's expressions, Liu Xie was very satisfied with his performance.

His expression relaxed slightly, and he said, "You are all my loyal subjects. I hope you can work together from now on to help me regain control of the throne."

"Xiang Xiang is a relative of Xiang Yu, and his son was able to become the prime minister. Can't you, Lü Fengxian, become the general, and can't you, Jia Wenhe, become the prime minister?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he felt his heart surge.

The Prime Minister, second only to the Emperor, was above everyone else. He dared not even think about it.

At this moment, he was completely convinced.

Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu and felt secretly proud.

So what even if you, Jia Wenhe, become the prime minister in the future?
This general's grandson is going to be the emperor!
