She's afraid.

In addition to fear, she couldn't articulate it, and there was a feeling that she couldn't describe in words

"Minister Su Zhe, after returning from the crusade against Liu Biao, I would like to return to Your Majesty."

Su Zhe, who was in front of the royal chariot, did not dismount, and arched his hand on the horse, with a deterrent effect in his voice.

Liu Xie hurriedly stood up and said with a reluctant smile: "I have been looking forward to Su Qing's return day and night, and I have finally brought Su Qing back, and I can finally sleep peacefully." ”

Liu Xie was quite cooperative.

Su Zhe decided to give him some face, so he jumped off the horse and walked up.

Liu Xie was still standing in the carriage and didn't react for a while, but Fu Shou hurriedly stood up, pulled his shirt, and made a hint of a look.

Liu Xieyi was in a hurry, and the emperor and queen also went down together.

Su Zhedu had already dismounted, how dare Liu Xie sit on the royal chariot.

He arched his hand again and said loudly: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, Liu Biaosheng has been captured alive in this battle, and all the counties of Jingxiang have been returned to the imperial court." ”

Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Okay, good, Su Qing has contributed to Sheji, he is actually the pillar of the Optimus of my Han Dynasty, you have merit in begging for thieves, I hereby announce that I will promote you to a general, command the world's soldiers and horses, and protect my Han rivers and mountains." ”

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth raised a sneer, thinking that Dong Zhao's letter was really right, and Liu Xie was quite interesting.

When the news of Su Zhe's capture of Xiakou was transmitted back to Wandu that day, the government and the opposition were already boiling, and the courtiers led by Dong Zhao and secretly fell to Su Zhe began to take turns to give Liu Xie a table, praising Su Zhe's great merits, and asking Liu Xie to make him a general as a reward.

Liu Xie was forced by the situation to agree to the invitation of the ministers, and Dong Zhao came to the secret letter and revealed the news to Su Zhe.

Today, Liu Xie really didn't dare to ignore current affairs, and named him a general in public.

The general, above the general of the chariot and cavalry, and even above the three dukes, is the head of a hundred officials, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, all those who are in the position of great generals are all powerful ministers who cover the sky with one hand and take charge of the court.

For example, He Jin, who was killed by the eunuchs before, was the general when the young emperor Liu Wei was the emperor.

And Fang is in chaos today, although the general is nominally the commander of the world's soldiers and horses, but in fact he is far from having so much power, and what he can mobilize is nothing more than his own descendants.

However, the official title of general, like the banner of the Son of Heaven, has intangible political value and cannot be described as actual interests.

"The minister will thank Your Majesty for this trust, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will do his best to seek peace for His Majesty, and prosper the Han.

Liu Xie was very knowledgeable, and Su Zhe naturally wanted to give him some face, and expressed his sincerity and loyalty impassionedly.

Liu Xie knew that Su Zhe was not sincere, but he had to force a very relieved expression, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, with a loyal minister like Su Qing, why don't I worry about it, I can sit back and relax from now on, haha~~"

Liu Xie's laughter was a bit dry, which made people insincere when they listened to it.

At this time, Fu Shou next to him also said with a smile: "Su Qing has worked hard all the way, Your Majesty and the palace have set up a celebration banquet for Su Qing in the palace, let's go back to the palace first." ”

Su Zhe said coldly: "The celebration banquet is not in a hurry, there is a more important matter now, which needs to be judged by His Majesty." ”

In his tone, there was a murderous intent, which made Fu Shou and Liu Xie feel a chill in their hearts.

"I don't know what Su Qing wants me to do, what do you want me to do?" Liu Xie's tone was uneasy.

Su Zhe flicked his hand and shouted, "Come on, bring the traitor Liu Biao up." ”

The order was handed down, and a moment later, several ironclad warriors dragged Liu Biao, who was in a mess with his cape, out of the prisoner car and pressed him in front of Liu Xie.

The former Jingzhou pastor, a famous man in the world, and a dignified Han clansman, is now a prisoner under the stairs, kneeling on the ground in full view of everyone.

Seeing this scene, the courtiers who still had a trace of illusion about the Zhongxing Han family couldn't bear to look at it, they all turned their heads and secretly shook their heads and sighed.

Seeing Liu Biao's ghostly appearance, Liu Xie's heart was not happy.

The person in front of him, but his uncle of the same sect, has the same blood as him, the so-called traitor, but for Su Zhe, in his heart Liu Xie, he has never regarded Liu Biao as a traitor.

Even, he once regarded Liu Biao as his life-saving straw, hoping that Liu Biao could fight for a breath and defeat Su Zhe.

The more Su Zhe suffered defeat, the weaker his strength became, and the more he naturally dared not be disrespectful to him.

If Liu Biao can kill Su Zhe, of course, it is the best, he can escape from Su Zhe's control and regain his freedom.

What disappointed Liu Xie was that the imperial uncle kneeling in front of him was really too wasteful, not to mention defeat after defeat, and now he was reduced to the point of being captured alive by Su Zhe.

For a while, Liu Xie's heart was not a taste as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty~~" Fu Shou gently tugged at Liu Xie's sleeve and reminded him secretly.

Liu Xie reacted immediately, and immediately forced an indignant expression, and shouted: "Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, you dare to be bewitched by traitors and openly disobey my will, you are guilty!" ”

Liu Biao, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly, raised his head and glanced at Liu Xie, from the eyes and words of this son of heaven, he immediately tasted a trace of deep meaning:

The Son of Heaven is deliberately excusing him and wants to let him go.

Liu Biao immediately understood, was busy and bowed deeply, and sobbed: "The minister is guilty, the minister is old and faint, he was instigated by the group of small people, and he mistakenly committed the crime he committed, and the old minister is willing to be punished by His Majesty." ”

Su Zhe on the side frowned.

He naturally heard the mystery in Liu Xie's words, Liu Xie did not directly reprimand Liu Biao for committing chaos, but blamed Liu Biao's various actions on "traitors", which gave Liu Xie an open side for him, and left a gap.

"Hmph, Liu Xie, of course you can't see your little bit of caution, how can I let you be as you wish!"

Su Zhe sneered in his heart, and without waiting for Liu Xie to speak again, he said sharply: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the minister crusaded against Liu Biao this time, and saw with his own eyes that Liu Biao was clearly going to be a traitor, and he was not confused by any traitor at all, Your Majesty must not be excused by this traitor in a few words." ”

Liu Xie's expression was shocked, and he heard that Su Zhe didn't intend to spare Liu Biao, but he couldn't bear it, so he smiled again: "Su Qing's words are serious, I heard that Liu Biao has a lot of treacherous villains around him, such as Kuai Yue Huang Zu and others, these people are all local wealthy families in Jingxiang, they gang up and want to rebel, Liu Biao was deceived by them on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was forced to be helpless, so he ......"

"Who said that to Your Majesty?" Su Zhe shouted loudly, interrupting Liu Xie's exculpation of Liu Biao.

Liu Xie was startled, and squeaked: "That's it...... It's just some gossip and ...... Nothing more. ”

Su Zhe's gaze shot at the ministers behind Liu Xie, and said in a deep voice: "Who slandered Your Majesty, exonerated Liu Biao, a traitor, and had the courage to stand up and tell me again about the slander against Your Majesty face to face!" ”

The crowd was shocked, and those courtiers with weak hearts lowered their heads one after another, how dare they come out.

"I don't think you don't have the guts......"

Su Zhe was disdainful, turned around, bowed his hand to Liu Xie, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao intends to rebel, this is an ironclad fact, Your Majesty Shengming, you must not listen to the villain's slander, and lightly drop Liu Biao, a traitor, otherwise, how can you deter those ambitious thieves who are not subservient." ”

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Liu Xie's forehead, and he didn't dare to defend Liu Biao anymore, so he said in a trembling voice: "Su Qing's words are reasonable, so Su Qing thinks that I should deal with Liu Biao?" ”

Su Zhe said lightly: "Committing rebellion, plotting rebellion and rebellion, it has been a heinous crime since ancient times, Your Majesty is a saint and a minister, how to deal with it, I believe Your Majesty knows in your heart, as a courtier, how can you be the master for Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie's heart was shocked, knowing that Su Zhe had to kill Liu Biao, but he didn't know that he had to force him, the son of heaven, to make a decision.

Liu Xie had no choice but to look at Fu Shou.

Fu Shou's eyes were also full of helplessness, and there was nothing he could do, so he just sighed lightly.

Liu Xie's fists were secretly clenched, his heart was like a knife, and the flames of anger burned wildly in his chest, eager to snatch a sword on the spot and cut Su Zhe off with his own hands.

He didn't have the courage.

In the hands of Dong Zhuo back then, he was persecuted and humiliated ten times more than Su Zhe, he didn't have the courage to resist, let alone today.

After stiffening for a long time, Liu Xie exhaled a long breath, and shouted weakly: "Liu Biao committed rebellion, intending to rebel, the crime is not tolerated, spread my will, behead Liu Biao to show the public, and to correct the dynasty!" ”
