Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 138 Liu Xie's face

Cao Cao said: "You can rest assured. Since I met Zhou Cang, although I have seen that he is a man of the city, he is not a treacherous person. I don't know why I have a good relationship with him. This week, Zhou Cang always thinks of me. To resolve the crisis, if he wants to make plans, I won't wait until this time."

Cao Hong, who didn't talk much, nodded straight. That's right, I recognize this Zhou Cang. He is a straightforward man, heroic and righteous. "

"Why?" Xun Yu asked strangely.

"Hehe, I also asked him about it, but he said that among the courtiers and princes, I am the only one who can be called a hero, who can turn the tide in this troubled world. For this reason, he also gave me a set of thirteen chapters on Sun Wuzi's Art of War."

"This person is indeed a bit strange. He has the style of an ancient man and a hermit." Everyone dared not say that Zhou Cang spoke loudly and looked down upon the heroes of the world.The thirteen chapters of Art of War have long been lost, but Zhou Cang has it. It seems that it is also a family tradition, and it is not easy.

"Yeah, that's true. I heard that he inherited the family education. His father was a hermit who did not take office. When he was young, he traveled around the world and lived in seclusion in the mountains when he saw the chaos in the world. Tao Qian." Cao Cao said.

"It turns out that's the case, and it's not surprising." Hermits always give people the feeling of being unfathomable and unfathomable.

"When Luoyang exterminated the Ten Permanent Attendants, Zhou Cang repeatedly told me to protect the emperor Zhouquan first, but it was too late for me to reach the palace. The Yuan brothers only cared about killing the emperor, and the emperor was kidnapped. That's why so many things happened later. If the emperor could be saved at that time, where did Dong Zhuo come to Beijing?" Cao Cao murmured again, "serve the emperor to beg for disobedience, and serve the emperor to beg for disrespect... is it possible?"

Xun Yu was very reluctant to this sentence, "My lord, as a Han subject, I care about the Han family..."

Cheng Yu was deeply afraid that Xun Yu would say something that shouldn't be said of Jing'er. "My lord, now that the princes are gathered together, the emperor is young, and the court officials and ministers have nothing to do, which has caused Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others to be a disaster. If we want to revive the Han Dynasty, we need people like the lord who are not afraid of the powerful and set things right. Just like the five-color sticks set up by the lord in the northern part of Luoyang to frighten the little ones. The lord respects the emperor of Han and will definitely attract talents from all over the world to join him. What is it compared to the emperor who is full of old officials from the fourth generation and third lord? "

Mao Jie also smoothed things over: "That's right. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are short-sighted and only know how to expand their power, but they don't know that protecting the emperor is the right way. My lord should take this opportunity to welcome the emperor into Yanzhou first."

These words are scratching Cao Cao's itch, and Cao Cao feels beautiful after hearing this. "Since this is the case, how can we welcome the emperor into Yanzhou? I am worried that the emperor will not want to, and the ministers will obstruct him."

Xi Zhicai said: "This matter is not difficult. My lord can send a letter to the emperor, saying that Luoyang is dilapidated and the palace needs to be repaired. It is not suitable for the emperor to live in now. In addition, Luoyang is far away, which is not conducive to the transportation of food and grass. Please move the emperor to Anyi temporarily. The capital will be returned after Luoyang is repaired. My lord can send someone to build a palace in Xuchang, as the capital of the country, I don't know what my lord will do."

"The location of Xuchang is very good. According to what you said, please ask him to be responsible for the construction of Xuchang; Mao Jie, if you go to Luoyang, you must persuade the emperor to move to Luyang, and find a way to keep Dong Cheng and Yang Feng in Luoyang for repairs." Palace. Cao Hong, you lead 3000 people to Luyang to welcome you, and I will bring a large group of people to meet you. Wen Ruo, I would like to trouble you to write a reply to Zhou Cang on my behalf, and entrust him with the Eastern affairs."

Everyone led the order to go back and prepare.

When the emperor Liu Xie left Chang'an and came to Hongnong, he thought that there was still hope and he could make some achievements, so he changed his name to Jian'an.It's just that things backfired, if it wasn't for Zhou Cang's guard who was almost invited back to Chang'an by Li Jue, he didn't come to Luoyang until May of the first year of Jian'an.Seeing that the capital was right in front of him, Liu Xie couldn't help but burst into tears, and finally came back. He couldn't wait to send Zhou Cang and Zhang Yang away, and Liu Xie ordered them to drive into the city.

The scene in front of him made Liu Xie feel like he had been punched hard, and his eyes were full of stars: except for the officials and subordinates who followed along the way, there was no one who came to greet him, no clean water was poured on the street, the people knelt down to worship, and there were even vagrants on the street. There are no dogs, maybe there can be a skinny mouse somewhere; there are no banners fluttering, bells and drums ringing, dead trees and branches, broken walls and ruins everywhere, where is the bustling, noisy and busy capital Luoyang in the past, No one at all?Where are the sparrows?Where is the door?

Liu Xie's face could squeeze out water, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng just pretended not to see, and the ministers walked with their heads sullen, silent.Arriving at the location of the imperial palace, it has completely disappeared. A fire left only an open space and broken walls. Liu Xie was pointing in the car, unable to utter a word. Chang'an returned to Luoyang, could it be that he was still alone.

Shi Huan found a big family's house, which seemed to be the original Yuan Kai's house. The damage was relatively not serious. The so-called not serious meant that there were still a few courtyards surrounded by walls that hadn't collapsed, but there was no house.Shi Huan moved a few more stones and put them in primary and secondary order, so the emperor Liu Xie sat on the stones with the ministers in the courtyard surrounded by earthen walls and held the first court meeting to return the capital Luoyang.

There was no lack of etiquette. The ministers shouted long live, the eunuch called Pingshen, Liu Xie called him seat, and several senior executives pretended to sit on the stone to enjoy their own treatment. Those with low official positions could only sit cross-legged on the ground.Liu Xie coughed twice and was about to speak when his stomach started to growl. He made a good start, and everyone's stomach started to growl like an infection.Liu Xie had no choice but to ask people to prepare meals first.

Shi Huan innocently said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang Yang still has some food left behind, but it's not much, and there is no firewood..."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Feng, Yang Feng closed his eyes as if he didn't hear, so he had to look at Dong Cheng again.Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, you can order the ministers to cut firewood and dig wild vegetables." So the ministers below the middle and lower servants used their tender hands to pick up branches, dig wild vegetables, carry water, and cook.

When Liu Xie took up his job, his tears couldn't stop flowing down. I did something wrong, and God punished me like this.Liu Xie was still thinking about it, when he heard someone shaking his head and saying: "Heaven will send a great task to the people, and they must first toil their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions...", immediately There was a lot of praise, and everyone praised each other. Under the difficult conditions, everyone worked together to overcome difficulties and obstacles and return to the capital, with lofty ambitions and courage to suffer.

Liu Xie wanted to put the bowl on that person's face, but he really didn't want to part with the rice in the bowl.

After dinner, we will have a court meeting.Liu Xie's face was gloomy, all the adults were silent, and no one spoke first.
