Chapter 684: Different People, Same Road
A life is always in the abyss of disappointment again and again looking up at the meager hope in the sky, and then when it is difficult to climb up, it turns out that he only climbs from a smaller trap to another larger trap.
It's like crying and grieving when you lost a piece of candy when you were a child, and when you grow up, you don't feel much joy when you can get more candy cubes, because you already know that when you grow up, you will lose far more than you get a piece of candy......
In the city of Chang'an, the apse of the imperial palace.
Compared with the palace in Luoyang City, the main hall of Chang'an is small, simple, and even simple. There is neither a thin silk light gauze tent, nor a vermilion lacquer gold pattern decoration, and even the mat that sits on it has been used for a long time, has some discoloration and cracking, and some raw edges.
Liu Xie sat silently on the seat, and on the table in front of him was not food, nor stationery, but a long sword.
A great man's sword.
The Great Han Sword and the Huanshou Sword are the best embodiment of the martial spirit of the Han Dynasty.
Han Gaozu cut the white snake, according to legend, it is the Chixiao sword used, perhaps this is the reason, the emperor of the Han Dynasty basically every one has cast some Han swords.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty cast a turtle, also known as Xuanwu, and later Emperor Wen died and was ordered to enter the Xuanwu Palace.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cast eight suits, Yuanguang five years cast, and later in the Wuyue Mountain.
Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty cast Maoling, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty cast Mao Gui, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty cast the sword, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty cast the jade tool, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty cast the dragon color, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty cast Chijin, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty cast An Han, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty cast Zhongxing......
On the table, it is cast during the three years of Emperor Jianning of the Han Dynasty, the sword is three feet seven inches long, the blade is double-sided, the middle of the blade is engraved with the word "Zhongxing" two words seal, and there is a pattern extending from the spine of the sword to the tip of the long sword.
After Emperor Ling of Han cast such a batch of Zhongxing swords, in addition to selecting the best four collections, the rest were successively given to some officials and generals.
But then it was very strange that the four best Zhongxing swords that Emperor Han Ling had collected were lost in the palace for no reason......
Self-loss, hehe.
Liu Xie still remembered that he ran very strangely and asked his father, could it be that the sword would also grow legs and run away by itself? At that time, Emperor Han Ling didn't say anything, but his expression was very strange, and it wasn't until now that Liu Xie guessed a little.
What is now placed on the table is naturally not the four best "self-lost" Zhongxing swords, but one of the swords that Emperor Han Ling gave to officials and generals.
Liu Xie slowly and obliquely raised the long sword.
This Zhongxing sword is already scarred, and facing the light, you can clearly see the various collision gaps on it, the traces of polishing, and the bloody ...... hidden in the sword body
This long sword is the one that Dong Zhuo slashed on the Lingmiao incense case at the beginning. Liu Xie still remembered that on that day, Dong Zhuo rubbed his scalp and slashed the sword on the incense case, and the fierce cold wind even stimulated him to tremble all over his body.
Then the sword was left in Liu Xie's hands, and Dong Zhuo never mentioned it again, as if he had forgotten it.
Dahan sword, Zhongxing sword.
Hehe.
Is Dong Zhuo a thief?
Naturally, yes.
But who is not a thief now?
On the day of Dong Zhuo's award, Liu Xie was so excited that he couldn't sleep all day and night, thinking a lot, and even felt that the sky was finally clear, the air was finally fresh, and even the simple palace here was so cute and amiable......
I still want to show my strength and govern the world with the way of the three kings, the four seas are peaceful, the world is prosperous, the people are happy, and the world is safe.
And then what?
Then I found out that I was actually just jumping from a smaller wooden frame to a slightly larger cage, and I was constrained by all kinds of rules and regulations.
You can leave the palace freely, but you can't leave the palace freely.
You can freely consult the music, but you can't freely criticize and describe Zhu.
You can come to the court meeting freely, but you can't express your opinions freely.
Liu Xie looked up at the sky and was silent. I once thought that Dong Zhuo was a thief, so people other than Dong Zhuo should be good people, but I didn't expect that it was just another form.
When Dong Zhuo was there, although he didn't have much freedom, at least he could eat well, and there was not much shortage of fish and meat, although Liu Xie also knew that it was because Dong Zhuo would sometimes stay in the palace, mainly for Dong Zhuo......
But now, if he has a slightly different opinion, although Wang Situ will not be like Dong Zhuo and scold with a fierce and vicious nose, Liu Xie has experienced the taste of hunger that he has not experienced for a long time. Of course, when Liu Xie stamped all the chapters sent by Wang Yun without saying a word, the grain was also sent to the palace.
"Now that Chang'an's materials are boiling and there is a shortage of food, as the Son of Heaven, I should be considerate...... "Okay, I will be sympathetic to the people, but what is it like Wang Situ with a red face every day and walking like flying?"
Now Liu Xie finally understood what the words that Emperor Han Ling had whispered to him when he was a child......
"I'm a widow...... I'm a widow ......"
"This world is still not the world of the Liu family......
"Relatives and scholars are all outsiders, only these eunuchs in the palace are their own people, it's a pity that ......"
Liu Xie stood up, carried the long sword, walked to the main hall, and then slowly waved the long sword, just like a dancer at the royal sacrifice every year, one board and one eye, and the dance was like the hands and feet were tied with ropes, and then operated by the invisible big hands in mid-air.
"The Wind Blows ......"
Liu Xiecai sang softly at the beginning, and saw a small yellow door with small broken steps, and a gust of wind came to the outside of the main hall, kneeling down and reporting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wang Situ asks to see! It's almost in front of the temple......"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to suddenly change from gas to liquid, and then quickly transformed into solid......
"I know...... Please come in, Szeto...... Also, let's go get the seal......"
Asking to see? Ask for a print, right?
The same unannounced, but just a different person.
This has become a routine, although the seal is now in his own hands, but what is the difference?
Liu Xie slowly walked back to the side of the table, then picked up the black scabbard from the table, and slowly put the Zhongxing sword in his hand into the scabbard, little by little......
A voice rose in Liu Xie's heart: I don't want to stay here anymore, I don't want to be a puppet anymore, I want to leave here, I want to return to Luoyang, to the land I am familiar with, to the place where I was born......
