Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 701 Seeing Rumors Again
With a flattering and treacherous face, Liu Xie felt that he was a charlatan right now: "Little brother, do you know who I am?"

Often in and out of the streets of Chang'an, Liu Xie did not believe that he would not be recognized.Anyway, in this era, he is much more dazzling than some stars in later generations.Although the common people dare not go up to say hello to Liu Xie, but if Liu Xie's appearance is not known everywhere in the city, he will not believe it.

Just like this cute kid in front of him, Liu Xie guessed that his parents must have taken him to point at his back at some point in the distance, and said to this kid: "Son, look, This is our Son of Heaven, what a handsome young man. When you grow up, if you can be half as handsome as His Majesty, Dad will not worry about you being unable to marry a wife..."

Uh... thinking diverged and became a little confused for a while, after Liu Xie realized it, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.Because of this, he now looked more like a strange sorghum who abducted the young lady.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty did not have so many routines after all, and this four or five-year-old kid's mind is still very pure.Facing the obviously delicious candied haws in Liu Xie's hands, he gave in: "I know, you are the emperor today!"

"The answer is correct." Liu Xie smiled excitedly, took another step forward, and raised the candied haws in his hand: "Then do you want to eat this bunch of candied haws that only the imperial chef can make? Let me tell you, the candied haws on this , It’s an alien thing, it’s because I finally planted sugar cane after traveling through time to squeeze it out... Forget it, I’ll tell you that you don’t understand, all you need to know is that this candied gourd has sweetness in its sourness, and sourness in its sweetness. A good thing strung together with auspiciousness."

Liu Xie talked a lot of nonsense, but unexpectedly, the young lady was a little impatient: "Come on, what do you want to ask me?"

Liu Xie was so choked by this child that he seriously doubted his IQ, but he still asked helplessly, "Uh, do you know why your father Lingtang saw me and pointed at me?"

"What is your father's Lingtang? Is it delicious?" Xiao Zhengtai blinked his bright eyes, and then stopped moving.

"Uh...your father Lingtang is your parents." Liu Xie suddenly wanted to slap himself: why are you being so polite with a kid? How did he know these polite names.

"Oh, you said my lord." Xiao Zhengtai looked like a little adult, nodded and said, "Of course I know." But after saying this, Xiao Zhengtai didn't continue.

This made Liu Xie, who was waiting for the second half of the sentence, very depressed.After being reminded by Leng Shouguang, he came to his senses, handed the candied haws in his hand to Mrs. Zheng and said, "Should you say it now?"

But at this time, Xiao Zhengtai said with a blank expression: "You have already bitten this string."

"I'll go..." Liu Xie's mood at this moment can be described as dark clouds, feeling that the sky is dark: Is there a mistake, are you blackmailing today?Kid, you are so promising, do your adults know?
But anger turned to anger, and after Liu Xie was depressed, he suddenly found that he really had no power to fight back against this young lady.He could only say with a gloomy face, "Then how about I give you another ten cents?"

"You are the emperor, how can you be so stingy?"

"I..." Liu Xie finally felt the feeling of a hundred thousand grass-mud horses roaring past his heart, and couldn't help being furious, and shouted at Leng Shouguang behind him: "Give me money! Give me gold!"

At this moment, Leng Shouguang's face was flushed with suffocation, and he was about to laugh out loud.Seeing that Liu Xie was so angry, he quickly took out a dime of gold and stuffed it into the chubby little boy's hand.

"My lord said that you are not the son of the first emperor, but a thief who stole the Zhengshuo Dynasty! It has already been reported that your biological father is a sorcerer in Handan, who specializes in abducting rich ladies. Your... yes, Ling Tang is pregnant with you At that time, taking medicine for abortion was because they were afraid that things would happen in the east window, but the plan failed, so they tricked the late emperor into saying that Yemeng was walking against the sun, and she was pregnant with a dragon species, so that the magpie's nest and the dove could take over... You, what's wrong with you? You look so scary, I want to... go home……"

Mrs. Xiaozheng spoke fluently at first that he might not even understand, but then she saw Liu Xie's expression became more stern and cold, and she couldn't help but feel Liu Xie's strong murderous aura.For a while, thinking of the fact that the emperor didn't seem to be punished for killing people, he was so frightened that he cried and ran home.

But Liu Xie was still so angry that he shouted at the child's back: "You will be beaten when you go home!"

Sure enough, before Liu Xie had gone far, the child's loud and miserable howl came from the alley: After all, he was just a child, holding the candied haws from the palace and a piece of gold in his hand, his parents didn't ask The reason for the matter is strange.Liu Xie only hopes that this child is the only child in the family, so that maybe he won't be beaten by his father so that he doubts his life...

However, these are small things.The real big thing is that Liu Xie knew that this guy Yuan Shao had resorted to such a dirty trick, and he really lost in Bingzhou.
"Your Majesty..." Yang Xiu's face was also dumbfounded at this time, thinking with his heels, he also knew that this matter must have something to do with Zhen Mi: "The humble minister cannot be redeemed for his crimes, I implore Your Majesty to punish."

"It's none of your business." Liu Xie was very magnanimous at the moment, waved his hand and said, "Rumours are the things that the Han Dynasty is best at, and naturally they know that they are the most difficult to guard against. Don't say that you were just ordered to sneak into Zhenjiabu Village , Even if you live in Buzhuang, you can't stop the spread of rumors. This thing has no legs, but it can run faster than anything else. The most urgent thing is to come up with a countermeasure."

After saying this, Liu Xie clapped his hands out of thin air.Soon, a person on the street walked up to Liu Xie.Judging from his face and attire, this man was a peddler in a hurry, and he was pushing a truck.But when he arrived in front of Liu Xie, he half-bent his fingers, knocked on the handlebar, and motioned to salute Liu Xie with his fingers instead of his body, and then said: "Why is your majesty summoning us to wait for Jin Yiwei?"

"When did the street rumors spread?" Liu Xie asked with a frown.

"At around noon today, it was confirmed that the news came from Zhenjiabuzhuang. Jin Yiwei has notified Shang Shutai and is waiting for His Majesty's ruling." This Jin Yiwei told the matter neither humble nor overbearing.

"Yeah." Liu Xie's face turned pale: Jin Yiwei also reported to the police just an hour before noon, which is indeed not a dereliction of duty.Moreover, he also confirmed the source of the rumors, and did not act rashly, which is already the style that Jin Yiwei should have in Liu Xie's mind.

However, as a king, he was still a little dissatisfied: "Besides that, what else have you found?"

"I have already contacted Jin Yiwei in Jizhou. Three days ago, it was rumored that there was a quack warlock outside Handan City who was [-]% similar to His Majesty, and he was blatantly proclaiming that he was His Majesty's biological father. After hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately arrested this person, and then As far as Yecheng is concerned, this matter has spread throughout the city. And today, there are such rumors popping up in the three-mile radius of Zhenjiabu Village in Chang'an."

Liu Xie nodded again: in history, Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren was from Handan, so that liar appeared outside Handan city.Then Yuan Shao made a false arrest with great fanfare, which naturally made it known to all passers-by.After that, Zhen Mi's pawn will come in handy, after all, he is from Jizhou...

A line was quickly connected in Liu Xie's mind, and he already had a clear understanding of this conspiracy.It's a pity that knowing it is useless: Liu Xie, as a person who has carried forward in this era, knows best that it is not easy to deal with things like rumors.It is even more difficult to eliminate it.

Come up with real evidence to clarify to the world?
It's a joke. Isn't this kind of behavior telling the world that Liu Xie feels guilty?You know, the reason why rumors are so powerful is because the more you explain, the less others will believe it, and it will even have the opposite effect of smearing and smearing.

Can you let this rumor spread?

Not to mention.Although things like rumors have little offensive power, they still have the ability to attack the mind.Liu Xie is not afraid of turmoil in the whole Guanzhong. After all, in the feudal era, the people would only talk about it, and would not raise a banner to rebel and act as a moralist because of such rumors.What Liu Xie is afraid of is that there will be changes in the upper echelons of the court. He is afraid that those complacent courtiers will come up with some kind of moth after hearing that the wind is the rain.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao's actions are intended to be punished, not by his subjects! The final general wishes to personally lead the army, wipe out this nest of rebellious officials, and give Your Majesty a clear name!" Zhao Yun's face was extremely indignant. He is such a steady and resolute person, he can say this It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

But Liu Xie heard another meaning in Zhao Yun's words: "Zilong wants to divert the world's attention by means of war? Unfortunately, loyalty is commendable, but the usage is inappropriate. If I declare war on Yuan Shao at this moment, wouldn't it make the world suffer again? People think that my dog ​​jumped over the wall in a hurry?"

"If you want to fight but you can't fight, and you can't eliminate it, why should I just sit and wait for death?" Xu Huang was also anxious, Zhao Yun's proposal was exactly what he wanted to say.But now that Liu Xie vetoed it, he was helpless.

"To untie the bell, the person who tied it must go to Zhenjiabu Village first. Maybe we can find a solution." Liu Xie pursed his lips gloomily.

It was a gust of wind that was only caused by his murderous aura gushing out.
