Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 117 Clothes Order (1)

Li Song's army rushed all the way to Xuchang slowly, and when they arrived at Wuyin, all the affairs in Wancheng were completed under Liu Bowen's handling. Liu Bowen was going to return to Xuchang to report to Li Song, but he didn't know that Li Song was still there In Wuyin.

Liu Bowen found Zhang Xiu, and the two sat down as guests and hosts. Zhang Xiu said, "I don't know what business Liu Shangshuling is looking for me?"

"General Zhang! The matter of Wancheng has been dealt with! I'm going back to Xuchang today to report to the general! I'm here to say goodbye! But..." Liu Bowen cupped his hands.

When Zhang Xiu heard that Liu Bowen was going back to Xuchang, his face was expressionless. Now Wancheng is no longer under his control. He is just a general, and he is not up to the decision of whether Liu Bowen can go or not. It doesn't matter much to him.

But after hearing Liu Bowen's not-so-good, he was taken aback. The not-so-good may have other meanings, "Liu Shang Shuling, but what?"

"But I just received the emperor's edict!" Liu Bowen looked at Zhang Xiu and said.

Zhang Xiu stared wide-eyed and looked at Liu Bowen. He knew that the so-called imperial edict was actually for him. Liu Bowen got up and said with a serious face: "General Jianzhong, Zhang Xiu, Marquis of Xuanwei, accepts the edict!"

Zhang Xiu hurriedly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Minister Zhang Xiu, welcome the imperial decree!"

Liu Bowen took out the newly written "Edict of the Son of Heaven" from his sleeve, opened it and read it out, "Decree of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty: General Jianzhong, Zhang Xiu, Marquis of Xuanwei... specially ordered Zhang Xiu to return to Beijing with the order of the minister, and no Mistake! Here it is!"

After Liu Bowen finished reading, he took the edict of the emperor back into his sleeves. After all, this edict is fake, and there is no jade seal on it, but these are nothing. As long as you go back to Xuchang and put the jade seal on it, the fake will naturally become true. .

"Chen, Zhang Xiu accepts the order!" Seeing Liu Bowen like this, Zhang Xiu naturally understood that he didn't want him to stay in Wancheng. For Zhang Xiu today, it doesn't matter where he is. This is to put Zhang Xiu under house arrest in Xuchang, but it's good, so he can be with his children, it's not bad, Zhang Xiu thought in his heart.

If Li Song knew what Zhang Xiu was thinking, he would definitely yell that he was wronged!This matter has nothing to do with him at all, and he was shot while lying down.

In fact, these are all Liu Bowen's ideas, and it really has nothing to do with Li Song. In Liu Bowen's view, Zhang Xiu no longer has any rights in Wancheng, which is equivalent to house arrest. Even so, he might as well take him back to Xuchang. After all, it is under his own nose Under the hood, it is easier to monitor.

After Zhang Xiu packed up, he followed Liu Bowen and others back to Xuchang, while Wancheng was handed over to Su Dingfang, who left him [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to guard Wancheng and monitor Liu Biao in Jingxiang.

At this time, in Xuchang City, within the imperial palace, there was a side room of Emperor Liu Xie's bedroom.

Liu Xie looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Since I ascended the throne, traitors have risen side by side. First Dong Zhuo disrupted the court, and then Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled. I have experienced hardships that ordinary people have never experienced. Now Want to come..."

"Later, I was escorted by Li Song! At first, I thought he was a minister of the country and didn't want to do anything about the court, but he asserted his power arbitrarily and arbitrarily appointed his cronies. I was like a puppet. What is the difference between Li Song and Dong Zhuo? .”

"If this continues, he will replace me sooner or later. I'm afraid that by then, I will be separated from Aiqing. I don't know how I died."

As Liu Xie was talking, he couldn't help crying, and hurriedly wiped it with the sleeve of his dragon robe. Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, Empress Fu couldn't help but said sadly: "Your Majesty! Do all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty eat the blood? The salary of the great man, is there no one who will eat the king's salary and take care of the king's worries?"

Seeing this, the national patriarch Fu Wan realized why Liu Xie hurriedly asked him to enter the palace. He naturally knew what he should do, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Queen! You don't have to worry so much! The minister recommended you Three people can eradicate Li Song."

"Head of the country! I don't know who those three are, but can you help me get rid of this country's traitor?" Liu Xie and Empress Fu looked at each other, and Liu Xie asked hastily.

"Your Majesty! The current civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are basically Li Song's cronies. Only General Che Qi, Zhang Dong Cheng, General Anguo, Emperor Liu Bei, General Wei, and Cao Cao are the only ones who can share his worries. , only these three people can share your majesty's worries!" Fu Wan said.

"Patriarch Dong Cheng often went to the country to face disasters. I always knew that I could send him here to discuss state affairs together. Also, can't the patriarch not share my worries?"

"It's just that General Wei Cao Cao and Anguo General Liu Bei... It's not too late to observe and observe these two people for the time being." When Liu Xie mentioned these two people, he hesitated and said. Speaking of Dong Cheng, he trusted Dong Cheng even more.

He was actually afraid that when Li Song was wiped out, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would take the opportunity to rise up. This was not what he wanted to see. He, Liu Xie, wanted to be a real emperor, not a prop in the hands of ministers.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I am naturally willing to share your Majesty's worries. It's just that the old minister has no strength and is afraid of missing His Majesty's important task of eliminating thieves, so he recommended the three of them. I am loyal to Your Majesty. The sun and the moon can learn from each other. Please check it out!" After Fu Wan heard Liu Xie's sentence, could the father-in-law not be able to share my worries, he was frightened half to death, and hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty!

"Of course I understand the loyalty of the king, please come up!" Liu Xie said with a slight smile as he saw that he was trembling at the words of his own words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Wan got up tremblingly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Your Majesty! You are surrounded by Li Song's confidantes. If this matter leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Alas!" Liu Xie frowned after hearing this, and sighed softly, "Master, what should we do if this is so?"

"Your Majesty! I have a plan, maybe it will work!" Fu Wan glanced around, took a step forward, and whispered in Liu Xie's ear, indicating that Liu Xie had ears on the wall.

"What's the good plan of the country's father, tell me quickly!" Liu Xie whispered.

"Your Majesty can sew a piece of clothing, take a jade belt, give Dong Cheng a secret reward, sew a secret edict on the inside of the belt and give it to him, let him check the secret edict when he returns home, and he can think about dealing with Li Song's plan day and night. Once you come, you will be invisible." Fu Wan said softly.

"Okay! Aiqing's plan is very good! I will do it according to Aiqing's words!" Liu Xie pressed the excitement in his heart and said softly. If the plan goes smoothly, the benefits of it are self-evident.

"The old minister is not feeling well! The old minister is leaving!" Fu Wan took a step back and knelt down in the tunnel.

Liu Xie nodded and said: "Old Aiqing, you have to take care of your health, I still need Aiqing." He got up and backed out.

Liu Xie hurriedly found a piece of yellow silk, bit his finger, wrote a secret edict against Li Song on the yellow silk, and handed it to Empress Fu to sew it into the purple brocade lining of the jade belt. Robe, tied with a jade belt, out of the side room.

Liu Xieduan sat in the bedroom and shouted out: "Come here!"

The eunuch who was guarding outside the palace hurried in, knelt down and said, "I don't know what is the purpose of everyone's call!"

"Quick Ming Neishi, General Xuan Cheqi, the head of the state, Dong Cheng, enters the palace, and sees him!" Liu Xie said.

"Promise!" The eunuch replied, got up and retreated to let the internal historian Xuan Dong Cheng come to see the emperor.
