The emperor of Yedu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still maintained an unparalleled vigilance.

"Yan, King Zhao, has he agreed to recruit medical craftsmen for me?"

Liu Xie was very weak, but he was not really so weak that he couldn't speak, let alone recruit doctors all over the world. This time, the news to Yanbei, which was on an expedition to the south of Yanzhou, was mostly just a tentative. He was just infected with a cold, even if Yanbei blocked the palace again, it would not even be possible to cure the emperor with a cold, if it was really like that, the hospital would not need to be asked, and it would be dismantled directly.

In the final analysis, the little emperor's illness is a heart disease.

People's mentality is sometimes quite strange, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Liu Xie was not very sensible, and he was simply afraid of the big fat man at that time. Later, when Li Dao and Guo Yan were in power, they were a little sensible, and they were even more afraid of these two vicious old revolutionary leaders, after all, they did not have the slightest fear of the emperor. Later, Li Guo died, and after several transfers to the imperial court fell into the hands of Yanbei, things became much more interesting.

The emperor wanted to understand a lot of things, why did those who controlled the government revere the imperial power at first, but instead showed their fierce fangs? It must be that the emperor himself is too pale and powerless in the eyes of others, so the little emperor desperately hopes that he can become strong and have the ability to confront the powerful ministers.

When things get to this point, they have entered a real inflection point. The era of the emperor's courtiers is gone, and the hearts of the emperor, ministers, and ministers are full of confrontations, can this court be quiet under such circumstances?

Yanbei said: Yes!

In order to avoid a more fierce confrontation, the Yan clan blockaded Yedu, leaving such a lonely city for the imperial power in the whole world. Within Yedu, the emperor has the final say, and in the world outside Yedu, Yanbei has the final say. This short and tranquil peace is the Yan family's use of huge money to maintain a decent life for the royal family and courtiers.

But no one will be satisfied with this, except for the little emperor, no one will be satisfied with this. Because the courtiers have gone through several generations of ups and downs, honor and disgrace to have today's authority and status, although the authority has been lost in the chaos of the world, but still has a proud status that is not understood outside the capital, even if this status is false.

Their noble origins meant that no one could tolerate themselves like lambs to the slaughter or animals in corrals, even if they still had status and enjoyment that were unattainable by others. There are thousands of people in the world, and everything that wants to explain complex human nature in one sentence is a lie.

But there are some qualities in people that do not change with time and age, such as domination.

What the dignitaries and nobles want is definitely not money, there are many dignitaries who can give up money, appetite, and human desire for thousands of years, but there are very few people who give up their power to dominate others.

Because once their identity is in this position, there is not much room for them to choose, there is no absolute freedom in this world, and if they do not be the dominant, they can only be the dominated. Poverty, hunger, and even death are not as humiliating as being the pride of heaven and becoming the dominated.

Because of this, Yan Bei would laugh whenever he thought of the situation when he was in the most humble position in the world in the past, and he had no choice with the emperor's most noble position in the world.

In fact, the confrontation between Yanbei and the imperial power was never the confrontation between Yanbei and the emperor Liu Xie, but the confrontation with the courtiers, and Yanbei knew this truth very well. And Liu Xie, who was born in the palace and grew up in the hands of women, didn't know at all, he always thought that his will was the will of the courtiers...... He was wrong.

The weak emperor could only make his own will the will of his courtiers, but he was powerless to change the situation.

Imperial Physician Ling Yoshimoto bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, King Zhao has recruited medical craftsmen from all over the north to send them to Yedu, and they are all on their way here." However, there is still one thing that needs to wait for the doctor to come before it can be confirmed, will King Zhao poison the medicine? ”

"Poisoned?" Liu Xie's face suddenly turned white, and sometimes the alarmists were not because they sounded like they were true, but because people were willing to believe that they were true. There is no lie or not in the world, but what people believe is the truth, and what they don't believe is naturally a lie. Even though he knew that Yanbei would not poison him, Liu Xie was still afraid of it, "Brother Huang died of Li Ru's poison!" ”

"Ji Qing, you have to be careful to observe, don't let those doctors poison you!"

Yoshimoto was just alarmist, so he should leave the palace, but Liu Xie could not sleep well, but there were not many people for the imperial envoy in the huge palace, which was even more frightening although it was quiet.

In the past, there were many palace maids in the palace, and Yanbei sent people to collect good women from the people every year to send them to the palace, but because the two of them were evil, the emperor sent those women out, making the palace empty. But who is to blame for this? Keep those women, what clothes Liu Xiehe wears every day after Fuhou will be reported to Jixiao Temple, who won't be afraid?

The old Fu Wan was called into the palace late at night, and the emperor walked back and forth in the palace restlessly, and asked Fu Wan: "General Fuguo, how many soldiers are available in Ye Du now?" ”

After Fu Wan, he didn't know what Liu Xie meant, but he was shocked into a cold sweat on his back, and replied stubbornly: "There are 1,400 guards in the palace, and there is a battalion of 3,400 soldiers in the city. ”

"Gone?" The emperor was greatly disappointed when he heard this, and asked eagerly, "Do they have armor and can be properly supplied with grain and grass?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, for the Son of Heaven forbidden army, they are all loyal to Your Majesty, outside the city just transported a batch of soldiers and armor last year, all of them have to be ......" Speaking of this, he blushed, if the Son of Heaven wants to use soldiers against whom, naturally there is no need to say much, but these soldiers and armor are all sent by Yanbei to transport them into the city, how can he say this openly? Then, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he hurriedly asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, why did you ask about the military?" ”

"It's nothing, let them do enough exercises, and when Yan Zhongqing sends a medical craftsman to come, they must be fully prepared. I'm afraid he's going to hurt me! The emperor said suspiciously, and then lowered his body and whispered to Fu Wan: "Even if he doesn't use a doctor to return me, what if Yan Zhongqing sends hundreds of dead soldiers into the palace?" Make sure you let your soldiers hold the city! ”

If I'm not mistaken, there are 20,000 elite soldiers under Tai Shici outside the city, right?

After Fu Wan, he felt a little pain in his head, who knew who was muttering something in the emperor's ear, how stupid would it be for this person to come up with such an idea, using hundreds of dead soldiers to assassinate the emperor?

However, it is a good thing for the emperor to ask about the military affairs, and he nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister asks Zhong Xuan to lead the army with Shangshu, if he is the general, he will be able to keep the palace ban." ”

"Can't use him!" Liu Xie waved his sleeves violently, he was too worried, and said, "He has a close relationship with Yan Zhongqing......"

Before he finished speaking, a samurai came running quickly, shouting with a blank face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Today, I don't know who handed over a letter to his subordinates, the letter reads, it is written that King Zhao asked His Majesty to raise troops with peace of mind, saying that he Yan Zhongqing secretly hid bows and crossbows to raise dead soldiers, and after he destroyed Cao Yuan, he would rebel against His Majesty! ”

"There are no dead soldiers, heh, now I am at ease."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and then he shook slightly, his body fell back straight and straight, and he fainted.
