Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 140
"Come on, my future queen, try the grass dragon ball produced in Longxi." Liu Xie picked up a watery, round grape, carefully peeled off the silk leather coat and removed the seeds for Fushou, and then slowly Put it into Fushou's small mouth that is rounder than the grass dragon ball, watching Fushou swallow it beautifully, and after sticking out his playful tongue to lick his lips, he showed a smirk.

At this time, Zhong Yao, Yang Xiu, Huang Fusong, Zhu Jun, and Xu Huang, who were kneeling in front of Liu Xie, were almost dumbfounded.The five people looked at each other in blank dismay, if they hadn't seen Leng Shouguang directing the eunuchs and maids in the palace to clean up the mess on the ground, they really thought that the thunderstorm in the oath hall just now was an illusion.

"Come on, come on, dear friends, don't just sit around, come and taste. These grapes are so rare, and after a while, you won't be able to eat them even if you want to." Liu Xie and Fu Shouxiu finished After falling in love, it seemed that they had just discovered these five people, and hurriedly greeted these five people: "But don't be too discouraged, in half a month, the wine I carefully brewed will be out of the cellar. At that time, I will give you a jar each , to see if it suits everyone's taste."

After listening to Liu Xie's words, the five felt that something was wrong.Even Yang Xiu, who is usually the most daring, and Zhu Jun, who likes to rely on the old and act like a good boy, neither of them reacted.

"Since Your Majesty has calmed down and is busy with important matters, the concubine will leave first." Fu Shou got up very well at this time, and when she accompanied Liu Xie like a shrew and smashed the objects in the Xuanshi Palace, Seemingly like a playful girl.But in fact, when Fu Shoulai saw these people hesitating outside Xuanshi Hall before he dared to enter, he ordered his servants to lead Cai Yong and Cai Yan out of Xuanshi Hall while smashing them.Then when Liu Xie subsided, he ordered his servants to lead these people into the Xuanshi Hall, and at the same time sent people to bring snacks and fruits.

Therefore, after the five people entered the Xuanshi Hall, they saw the ridiculous scene just now.

"Well, let's go back, slow down on the road. It's really a sign from my ancestors that I can marry such a smart queen as you." After Liu Xie's anger subsided, his careful and sharp thinking took over the high ground again, and he naturally kept Fu Shou silent. He kept everything he did in his heart, and he was even more thankful that God gave Fushou such a considerate, gentle and intelligent daughter-in-law.

Now, these five people came together to discuss with him the important affairs of the DPRK.A future empress like Fu Shou who has been deeply influenced by poetry and etiquette will never be with Liu Xieqing again.In fact, if she didn't know that Liu Xie was really angry today, she wouldn't have swallowed the grapes Liu Xie gave her in front of these five people.After all, in her opinion, such things can be regarded as indecent.

However, the loving scene just now and Liu Xie's last heart-warming words still made her unable to bear the blushing of her pretty face, and she smiled charmingly when she looked back.Seeing the pole climbing up, Liu Xie proudly blew a kiss to Fushou, and Fushou was suddenly startled, walking out of the Xuanshi Hall as quickly as a deer.

"Okay, you know why you came here to find me, isn't it just that we lost in the court for a while today. This victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, not to mention that Wang Yun, after all, is holding the guise of ancestral system and modesty, we Once the hole cards are played, it is reasonable to lose him in the court."

Liu Xie squeezed another grape and threw it into his mouth with the belt seeds. Turning his head to see Huangfusong whose expression was still serious, he couldn't help but said again: "Today, the old general was humiliated in court. No. The old general Wanmo took Wang Yunzhi’s words to heart. Since ancient times, both civil and military pursuits, one strong and one soft, are the foundation of a country.

"Your Majesty is holy! Since ancient times, the emperor humiliated his ministers and died. Today, we are incompetent, causing His Majesty to be bullied by powerful officials. He is heartbroken and desperate. I can't believe that instead of blaming us useless people for their sins, His Majesty spoke to comfort the old ministers." , It makes the old minister feel ashamed to die..." Huangfu Song heard Liu Xie's last words, burst into tears, bowed deeply in front of Liu Xie, sobbing endlessly.

At this time, the five people in front of them were all kneeling in front of Liu Xie, but at this time in the Han Dynasty, the action of kneeling was different from that after the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.Kneeling and standing at this time is just because the desks in the Han Dynasty were relatively low, and people kneeled and stood on the ground for eating or writing, which has the same meaning as sitting.But the meaning of Huangfusong's obeisance was different, it was a very grand and humble gesture in Han rituals, so Liu Xie dared to stand up quickly and help Huangfusong.

"The old general speaks seriously. The time and the situation are also. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the old general and everyone are in need of help."

Having said that, he came back to the original point. Huangfusong knew that Liu Xie would have an important matter to consult, and after kowtowing again, he got up and said directly: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no way to fight against the tribes of Liangzhou. The old minister has been there for many years. Leading the Liangzhou iron cavalry guarding the border, he is very clear about its combat power. Although Lu Bu is unparalleled in bravery, his Bingzhou elite cavalry is also unparalleled in the world, but against the hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou iron cavalry, he can only win first and then lose in the end. ending."

Liu Xie sighed, he didn't know the result.These two armies can be described as the two most powerful arms of the Han Dynasty.In frontier areas like Liangzhou and Bingzhou, the folk customs are extremely tough. Even ordinary women ride strong horses to sell wine and buy meat. The toads there can't wait to do somersaults on horseback.But in terms of numbers, the [-] Liangzhou iron cavalry is five times that of the Bingzhou fine cavalry, and they fight directly on the Weinan Plain and other battlefields suitable for cavalry charges. With a workaround, Lu Bu can be manipulated in the palm of his hand.

Because, behind the Liangzhou iron cavalry, there is a fox with unparalleled resourcefulness.Liu Xie even expected that within ten days, Jia Xu would be able to beat Lu Bu to pieces.After all, Liangzhou Daying had almost burned their food and grass when he set fire to it.And this short rib is in the hands of Jia Xu, not only will it not hinder Jia Xu, but it will become Jia Xu's capital to encourage Liangzhou iron cavalry to fight.

So, time is running out...

"Your Majesty, Situ Wangyun also fought in Yingchuan. Even though he is not as clear-eyed as General Huangfu, he still knows that using [-] fine cavalry from Bingzhou against [-] cavalry from Liangzhou is like hitting a stone with an egg. Such a lonely and arrogant person, knowing that things cannot be done, how can he swear to gamble with His Majesty in the court?" Yang Xiu slightly frowned his slender eyebrows, expressing the doubt in his heart.

Hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but sighed again. He had been fighting with Wang Yun for so long, and he had already reached the point where Wang Yun knew what shit Wang Yun was going to do.From Wang Yun's point of view, it is very reasonable for him to go to court today.

It is conceivable that for a hundred years at the end of the Han Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrat class has been suppressed by the eunuchs and foreign relatives into the role of the third grandson, and finally waited for the moment when their eldest daughter boarded the sedan chair for the first time, how could he not try his best to make the grandchild Did the scholar-bureaucrats manage this matter beautifully and gracefully?In order to realize this ideal in his heart, what he has to do is nothing more than two things.

On the one hand, he will spare no effort to weaken the imperial power, so that the ruling philosophy of scholar-bureaucrats can be implemented unimpeded.On the other hand, it is to do a few earth-shattering events so that the world and the common people can see the ability and courage of the scholar-bureaucrats to govern.

The first one can be said that he did a very good job. Relying on Liu Xie's young age and his ability to protect the sky, as well as the political environment where Confucianism has been popular for hundreds of years in the Han Dynasty, he completely pushed Liu Xie out of the power center.And the second one is probably his most proud move. He wants to take the opportunity of sacrificing the Liangzhou iron cavalry to bring the fragmented Han court back into his arms and keep it tender.

In his plan, Lu Bu should be just a tool, the purpose is to let the Kanto heroes see their determination to support the Kanto heroes.Lu Bu only needs to stop Liangzhou's iron cavalry for a while, and he can vigorously encourage the heroes of the Kanto to lead troops into Chang'an King Qin.In this way, the Liangzhou iron cavalry is under attack from inside and outside, and there must be nothing but the result of being tied up.Earlier, he sent his envoy Zhang Zhong to appease Guandong, with this idea in mind.In Wang Yun's view, the Kwantung heroes and their Chang'an scholars are in the same line. Now we have to be sincere and have Zhang Zhong sent an envoy to comfort and be determined. With Lu Bu leading the army to crusade against the tribes of Liangzhou, why don't the Kwantung heroes come to join in this grand event? ?

What if Lu Bu can't beat the Liangzhou tribes?Of course, Wang Yun still has backhands, and his backhands are Han Sui and Ma Teng in the west. In his opinion, the imperial court gave these two rebels such great official positions and powers. How could they not send troops to resist Liang? State ministries?In fact, Wang Yun probably hoped that Lv Bu would not win so brilliantly, otherwise, he would not be able to stage the scene where he wanted the Liangzhou Qianghu and the Liangzhou tribes to bite the dog...

This kind of abacus can't be said to be inaccurate.But in Liu Xie's view, there is a fatal loophole in Wang Yun's plan, and that loophole is also the key that led Wang Yun to push the Han Dynasty into the abyss of eternal doom in history-all Wang Yun's plans are based on hope In the hands of others!

What if Han Sui and Ma Tengguang in the west received the imperial reward but did not send troops?More importantly, what if the Kwantung heroes don't come to lead their troops to serve the king? !All of Wang Yun's victories are based on the assumption that the Kwantung heroes will come to Chang'an. Once this condition fails, all of Wang Yun's deliberate plans will turn into the most dreamy but beautiful bubble that will burst at the touch of a touch!And the price was a national sacrifice that Wang Yun could not bear alone!
As for Liu Xie, he already knew that the Kwantung heroes might not come, or they would never come to Chang'an!
