Forty-one Chapter The Emperor

There is no doubt that Liu Xie must know about Dong Zhuo's execution. Because in the court, Wang Yun needed the emperor to sing with him to paralyze Dong Zhuo.

If Liu Xie didn't know about this and his words were careless, Dong Zhuo might have turned around and ripped off his and Wang Yun's heads.

From the original historical trend and Liu Xie's subsequent actions, it can be seen that this emperor had great ambitions and few talents, let alone talking about it. Just talking about his methods, that's probably it. Whether it was the so-called clothing edict or other small actions later, they did not break out of this framework.

Liu Xie was able to paralyze Dong Zhuo, firstly because Dong Zhuo was old, and secondly because he had people like Wang Yun assisting him. But to paralyze Cao Mengde, that is delusional.

How treacherous is Cao Mengde?

I'm afraid Liu Xie's actions, in Cao Mengde's eyes, are no different from children's play, right?

These messy things passed through his mind in a flash, and Zhao Yu arrived outside the imperial city.

The imperial city was heavily guarded, not only to protect Liu Xie, but also to monitor him and put him under house arrest.

Zhao Yu strolled forward, his whole body filled with wonderful Taoist charm, and his body blended into the heaven and earth. It was obvious that he was there, but others turned a blind eye.

In a grand manner, Zhao Yu walked into the palace under heavy guard.

Although the palace is large, Zhao Yu knows how to look at it.

From a distance, he saw a faint purple air filling the air, and Zhao Yu knew that it must be where Liu Xie was.

If it were an empire at its peak, with a wise emperor, all the people united, and submission from all directions, its purple energy would be so majestic that it would frighten people's minds and make people bow their heads in awe. But now this emperor, apart from the name of emperor, what else does he have? To have this soft, old and decaying purple aura is the lingering shadow of our ancestors.

A few palace maids and eunuchs walked by cautiously, always in panic, as if they would flee at the slightest sign of trouble. The palace, controlled by the Xiliang warlords, no longer had any dignity at all. This is most evident in the palace maids and eunuchs.

Zhao Yu walked to the palace with rising purple air, looked up and saw that it was Jianzhang Palace.

A huge palace, surrounded by soldiers, heavily guarded by swords and axes. The people in the palace are like birds in a cage, where is the dignity of the emperor?

Zhao Yu opened the door, and the soldier next to him was confused and thought it was the wind. But there was obviously no wind, not to mention that the palace door was so heavy that the wind could not move it. For a moment, I felt chilly and shivered with suspicion. After Zhao Yu walked in from them, he hurriedly closed the door again.

Bang!

Crack!

Wow!

Walking into the palace, the shattering of crisp objects was mixed with the childish voice of overwhelming resentment: "I am the emperor! I am the emperor! Dog thief! Dog thief! How dare you do this to me!"

"His Majesty!"

A girl's voice persuaded: "Your Majesty has the hope of the world, so don't worry about honor or disgrace for a moment. In the past, Emperor Gao..."

"Gao Di, Gao Di, Gao Di! Shut up. If Gao Di had a spirit, how could he watch me suffer such a shame!? Then Li Jue, the thief, didn't even give me enough to eat. He couldn't even take a step out of Jianzhang Palace. Am I still the emperor? ?!”

"The name of the Emperor is empty, just the shadow of the ancestors."

Zhao Yu walked past a screen and saw the angry little emperor in his underwear.

"This should be from Fu Gui, right? Zhao Yu, an idler in the mountains, has met the emperor, Fu Gui."

Liu Xie was only eleven years old. Among the people, he was just a child. However, at such an age, among the royal family, those who should be experienced are quite mature. At his age, many powerful emperors already had rifts in their hearts. However, this emperor has gone through so many hardships and is now under house arrest by Li Jue, but he is still yelling here without fear of being heard by Li Jue.

Li Jue didn't even feed him, and he still relied on his status as the emperor. How stupid he was.

Just like Fu Shou said, he should learn from his ancestor, Gaodi Liu Bang. Even if he only learned 20% to 30% of Gaodi's acting skills, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"You...who are you!"

Liu Xie's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Zhao Yu suddenly appearing: "Did Li Jue the thief ask you to kill me?"

He suddenly thought of his brother, the young emperor Liu Bian. Suddenly, in the palace, he was force-fed poison and poisoned to death.

Liu Xie couldn't help but tremble all over, and the previous resentment turned into endless fear in an instant.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

The king of men should have wisdom as deep as the sea and courage to face heaven and earth. Apart from his name, this emperor has nothing to do with him.

A human emperor must always have the dignity of an emperor. Even if he is afraid and pretends, he must hold on to his dignity. But if this emperor stripped off his royal robes, he would probably be no different from a beggar on the street.

Don't say he is still young.

As the emperor, this is no reason. What's more, after the death of Emperor Ling, he experienced the dispute between his relative He Jin and the eunuch Zhang Rang, and the dictatorship of Dong Zhuo. He even knew full well that the young emperor and the queen mother were poisoned. Even if he has an elm head, he should be longer. memory. But it seems, no.

The country is about to perish.

Sometimes Zhao Yu also feels that the big man should not die. Because one word of Chinese carries too much. It is a pity that human nature has changed. Is there any eternal dynasty in the world?

The Western Han Dynasty fell and the Eastern Han Dynasty rose. At least Liu Xiu was able to turn the tide. The Eastern Han Dynasty fell and only the Three Kingdoms were conquered. Although Liu Bei tried his best, he could not succeed. Although he has perseverance and perseverance, it is a pity that God is not unlucky, opportunities are few and people's hearts change.

In other words, it is wrong to say that the human heart is the heart of heaven. The human heart cannot replace the fundamental operation of the universe. Without humans, there are still animals, and there are still ants and insects. Even if the insects and ants are gone, the universe will still continue to operate. The human heart is not the human heart, but the human heart is a key link in the changes of human nature.

People's hearts are fickle, so humanity is fickle.

Zhao Yu gained a lot more at this moment.

"Your Majesty is the emperor. Although his dignity has been lost, he is still the emperor after all." Zhao Yu did not despise the emperor: "Li Jue is not as courageous and courageous as Dong Zhuo. He dares to abuse the emperor, but he dare not kill him. . Otherwise, everyone in the world will be his enemy, and he will not survive this year."

Hearing this, Liu Xie was startled and then reacted: "Aren't you the person sent by the dog thief Li Jue?"

Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head, and slowly sat down cross-legged in front of the Emperor: "I came to Chang'an today, and suddenly I wanted to see the Emperor, so I came."

"You...how did you get in?"

Liu Xie was startled: "You can take me away, okay? Go to Hebei. Wang Situ said that Yuan Benchu ​​is interested in me. If you send me to Hebei, I will receive a high official and a generous salary. I will not be stingy!"

Zhao Yu shook his head repeatedly: "Is this how Prince Master lied to you?"

"cheat?"

Zhao Yu said: "The Han Dynasty has lost the hearts of the people, and all the princes in the world want to replace it. Yuan Benchu ​​is powerful, and he is now the most likely person to replace Liu and rule the world. Your Majesty, do you think he will care for you?"

"No...impossible!"

Liu Xie took a step back and asked hurriedly: "Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is my imperial uncle. Can you take me to Jingzhou?"

Zhao Yu said: "How can Liu Jingsheng's housekeeper dog dare to take on His Majesty such a big trouble? If Your Majesty goes, he will at most send you back respectfully, that's all."

"I can't count on the emperor anymore..." Liu Xie lost his mind.

A look of unbearable expression appeared on Fu Guiren's childish face, but he bowed to Zhao Yu: "Sir, please teach your majesty!"

Zhao Yu shook his head: "There is no way to save the day. Your Majesty has the position of emperor, but does not have the ability to be emperor. To put it bluntly, if it were a peaceful and prosperous age, your majesty would probably try his best. But in today's troubled times, with your majesty Ability..."

He shook his head.

"Then what should I... do?"

"The so-called noble man knows himself." Zhao Yu said: "Your Majesty relies on his status as the emperor. He has gone through many hardships, but he has no long memory. In my opinion, the best ending for your Majesty is to become a rich man. Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable."

"Rich man? No, no, no, I am the emperor and inherit the destiny from heaven, how can I be like this?!"

Liu Xie suddenly became excited, dancing and turning red.

When Zhao Yu saw this, he knew that the child was probably crazy. He said no more and said instead: "I came to see the Emperor because of one thing. I was curious and wanted to ask His Majesty."

But seeing Liu Xie's distraught and angry look, Zhao Yu asked the future Empress Fu and the current noble Fu, "You should know something. I heard that the prince's adviser used a honey trap to kill Dong Zhuo. There is a folk rumor The peerless beauty named Diao Chan fought between tigers and wolves to alienate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, which made the prince's division successful. She also said that Diao Chan was the adopted daughter of the prince's division. Killing Dong Zhuo was not a trivial matter, and the prince's division must not bypass His Majesty. Such a beauty He is the most powerful person in the country and his wisdom is really what I yearn for. Your Majesty and your nobles, are you willing to help me answer my questions?"

In the end, Zhao Yu returned disappointed.

Sure enough, in real time and space, there is no such stunning beauty named Diao Chan.

Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo had conflicts for a long time. Dong Zhuo had a bad temper and almost killed Lü Bu several times when he was angry. And Lu Bu is a rebellious guy, how could he not hold grudges? Moreover, Lu Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's concubine, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would kill him if he found out. So as soon as Wang Yun said that he planned to kill Dong Zhuo and promised him a high official and generous salary, Lu Bu was immediately tempted.

Of course, this is all superficial stuff.

The real reason is that after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he was greedy for pleasure and gradually lost control of the court. Otherwise, how could Wang Yun and others' small actions be carried out so easily?

Dong Zhuo is not a simple character.

Not only is he cruel and ferocious, but his wisdom cannot be ignored.

There are rumors in unofficial history that Dong Zhuo had a son-in-law, Li Ru, who was planning for him. However, in real history, although Li Ru existed, he was by no means Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, let alone Dong Zhuo's mastermind. Li Ru was not someone who started his career with Dong Zhuo at all, but a minor official in the imperial court. He probably joined Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. His name remains in Qing history because he followed Dong Zhuo's orders and killed the young emperor and the queen mother. That's all.

As for Jia Xu, he did not stand out at all under Dong Zhuo, perhaps because he did not want to stand out. He is a very small official, and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to even meet Dong Zhuo.
