Guanzhong, thousands of miles away from Puyang, the imperial city of Chang'an.

After surviving the famine, Guanzhong has regained its former vitality, and people come and go in the streets and markets, shouting and selling one after another, and you can see a thriving prosperity everywhere.

In the palace, since Liu Xie's change, he has been particularly diligent recently. Not only did he read through the history books, but he also often summoned many masters and students from Taixue into the palace and asked questions with etiquette, as if he wanted to aspire to be a virtuous king.

Inside the Mingguang Temple.

The confidant eunuch Han Xuan bowed his body, moved his steps lightly, and humbly saluted Liu Xie: "Slave to see Your Majesty, may my emperor be a thousand years." ”

Don't look at Han Xuan bowing his head and being humble in front of Liu Xie, but in front of others, he can be described as majestic. Now he is no longer the little eunuch he was back then, he has been promoted to a regular attendant, and has become an existence in the court.

Liu Xie was writing on the desk at the moment, and he didn't care about him. When the writing was finished, Liu Xie beckoned to Han Xuan, and said in a tone like a friend: "Come and see, how is this character I wrote?" ”

Han Xuan bowed and stepped forward, and on the white cloth, the song of the great wind made by Gaozu was written.

The wind was blowing and the clouds were flying.

Weijia Hai returned to his hometown.

Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet!

At that time, Huainan Wang Yingbu raised an army against the Han Dynasty, because of his bravery and good fighting, the army was very strong, resulting in Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, having to go out in person. After defeating Yingbu, Liu Bang returned to his hometown - Pei County on the way to return to the army.

When he was drunk, Liu Bang sang the song "Song of the Great Wind" that he improvised while building.

Although there are only three sentences in this poem, the first two sentences express the chest directly, heroic and self-indulgent, and also seem full of ambition, but the third sentence suddenly reveals the anxiety of the uncertain future, and also shows the deep melancholy of Gaozu Liu Bang's heart for the country's instability.

"Your Majesty's writing is extraordinary, the pen walks the dragon and snake, looking at its words, vast as the universe, the form and the gods, it is a peerless treasure in the world! Even if Zhang Zhi and Zhong Xuan's generation see it, they will be willing to bow to the wind and sigh to themselves! ”

Where does Han Xuan know how to distinguish calligraphy, but since it is from the hand of the Son of Heaven, he also wants to make a few sycophants to win the favor of the Son of Heaven.

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.

Liu Xie was really happy, but he said modestly: "You, you are a sycophant." How is my handwriting, I still have some self-knowledge, Zhang Zhi and Zhong Xuan are my calligraphy masters, and I can't beat the horse! ”

Looking at the written 'Great Wind Song', Liu Xie sighed in his heart. Back then, Gaozu could personally lead the army to recruit traitors. But I can only live in this deep palace, I can't go anywhere, and I can't even take a step out of the palace gate.

What is the outside world like? Liu Xie couldn't see anything, couldn't listen to anything, except for listening to the ministers in the court, he was really like a blind and deaf person, and he didn't know anything.

Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet!

When he was in an uneven mood, Liu Xie sang loudly to vent the suppressed emotions in his heart.

Although there are warriors, they are not warriors!

Han Xuan took two steps forward, presented the cloth in his hand, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, when Fang Cainu passed through Changyang Palace, a little eunuch handed this thing into the hands of the slave and asked to hand it over to Your Majesty in person. After the slave checked, there was no threat of poison or anything like that, so I didn't dare to delay, and asked Your Majesty to take a look. ”

Liu Xie opened the wrapped cloth, and inside was a small long box.

When the wooden box was opened, it was not a rare treasure, but an ordinary bamboo dragonfly. Even the children in the countryside will make this.

In the face of such an ordinary small toy, Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, was shocked.

The expression on his face also became extremely complicated at this moment, with disbelief in excitement, and even a trace of grievance.

After sending all the palace maids and servants in the palace away, Liu Xie grabbed Han Xuan's wrist, his eyes were full of anxiety and nervousness: "Who gave it to you, where is that person!" Go and find me right away, I want to see him! ”

Seeing the impatient appearance of the Son of Heaven, Han Xuan didn't dare to ask more, let alone shirk, and immediately responded: "The slave will send someone to find it, even if he searches the entire palace, he will definitely bring people to His Majesty." ”

"Nope! This can only be done by you, and no one else is allowed to know. Liu Xie shook his head and told him very solemnly.

"Slave knows."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Han Xuan nodded in response, and then left the hall in a hurry.

After Han Xuan left, Liu Xie returned to his seat, picked up the bamboo dragonfly and looked at it many times, and tears gradually flashed in his eyes.

My royal brother is still in the world!

…………

Around evening, Han Xuan brought a small eunuch.

"Your Majesty, the person you wanted, the slave brought it."

Han Xuan walked into the hall, bent his body, and respectfully reported.

Liu Xieping retreated left and right, and ordered someone to close the door of the palace and order him to go down, and no one was allowed to come in without his instructions.

Then, Liu Xie looked at the feminine man behind Han Xuan, suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked as calmly as possible, "You asked Han Xuan to give me this thing?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the villain is indeed on the orders of his master to give gifts to His Majesty. I just don't know if Your Majesty likes it or not. The feminine man admitted it without any hesitation.

"Let me ask you, what is the surname of your master?"

"My master said that Your Majesty should know when he sees the gift in the box."

"But Lu Bu didn't say ...... back then"

Liu Xie still remembers that Lu Bu said that his imperial brother was brutally killed by thieves entrenched in the mountains and forests on the way back, and it was difficult to distinguish his face.

"In addition to the gift in the box, my master also has something for the villain to hand over to His Majesty." Weiyang took out the long and narrow wooden box from his arms and handed it over.

Han Xuan took a step forward and took it, opened the wooden box, and after confirming that there was no danger, he handed it over to Liu Xie.

In the wooden box is a volume of written letters.

"My brother saw the letter well, after many years, I'm afraid you can't imagine that the foolish brother is still alive in the world......"

At the beginning of the first sentence of the letter, it was like a thunderbolt, resounding in Liu Xie's heart. Although he was prepared, when he really learned that his brother was alive, Liu Xie was still very shocked in his heart.

He looked at it very seriously and looked at it for a long time.

In addition to recounting the happy times when he was a child, the letter also roughly talked about the hardships that Liu Wei had experienced over the years.

Finally, at the end, I turned to the main topic.

"Back then, my father passed on the Jiangshan Sheji to me, but when Dong thief entered Beijing, he forced the foolish brother to abdicate and entrusted you to inherit the unification. However, now, Lu Bu has countless henchmen, and he has become a tiger and wolf, far more than Dong Zhuo back then, and the country surnamed Liu is already in danger.

As the heir of the royal family, how can I sit idly by and watch the thieves disrupt the country?

The only way to do this is to write an edict and me, and I will use this to order the heroes of the world to raise troops to fight against Lu Bu! ”

Signature at the end: Foolish brother Liu Bian.

After reading it, Liu Xie only felt that the blood all over his body seemed to be burning, and after so many years of grievance, he finally seized the opportunity to sanction Lu Bu!

He immediately sat down, picked up his pen like flying, and wrote the edict against Lu Bu, so many years of resentment, anger, and forbearance were all written in these words one by one.

But when it was really time to cover the jade seal, Liu Xie hesitated.

If the imperial brother Liu Wei can really call on the princes to defeat Lu Bu, then his prestige among the princes will inevitably rise, and when the time comes, will he also abdicate and make way for Xian?

Liu Xie is no longer the innocent child he was back then.

He is an emperor, so he should naturally have a long-term vision.

And once Lu Bu learns about this, he will definitely come back to Xingshi as soon as possible to ask for the guilt, even if he has some scruples and does not dare to kill the emperor, he should still be able to do it if he is deposed and replaced by a new monarch.

In this way, his imperial brother also happened to have a name and ascended the throne as emperor outside the gate.

It's good to borrow a knife to kill someone!

So no matter what the victory or defeat, it is always yourself who suffers.

Liu Xie's eyes were cold, since this is the case, then he can't blame his younger brother for being ruthless.

"Han Xuan, capture this thief for me!"

With a cold drink, Han Xuan, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, made a decisive move, and slammed his palm on the side of Weiyang's head with lightning speed.

Weiyang's own strength is not weak, but this sudden change is too fast, so that before he can react, he was hit hard by a yin hand, lying on the ground, and passed out on the spot.

Liu Xie then got up, picked up the written edict, and lit it at the candle flame, and the flame burned bigger and bigger until it turned to ashes in his eyes.

Thinking of the imperial brother who he hadn't met for many years, Liu Xie could only say sorry in his heart.

In this world, there can only be one son of heaven.

I am the country!
