Chapter 287: When the thief goes to selfishness, how can the Son of Heaven stay

How many years has Liu Xie not seen such a grand scene as it is now? Or for as long as he can remember, the great armies he has seen are almost always used by some ambitious and disobedient people who want to be disrespectful to him. At this time, Liu Xie, when he saw tens of thousands of people in the four coalition forces such as Cao Ying and Yuan Shao, bowing to the ground, and the formation of the mountains calling for congratulations, his whole body trembled unconcealably.

"Your Majesty! Deportment! Deportment! Among all the courtiers who were rescued, Dong Cheng was the one with the most complicated mood at this time. Although he was also very happy about the Son of Heaven's relief, and called the first emperor of the Han Dynasty a spirit, but as Dong Zhuo's relatives, he was also related to the Han royal family for two generations, and he also had a considerable position among the middle and high-level generals of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who once controlled the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng could obviously feel the sense of isolation in Liu Xie's eyes when he saw himself when he was brought to the Son of Heaven by a group of people wearing Xiliang armor. Especially when he learned that the person who made this great contribution to saving the driver was actually the son-in-law of Lu Bu, who was first spurned by the courtiers, and then because he went to Chang'an in a panic and ignored the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, not to mention the diaphragm in Dong Zhuo's heart. But after all, Dong Cheng still has the identity of the uncle of the Han Dynasty, and even Liu Xie can't erase the efforts of Dong Cheng as a Hanchen to reconcile the contradictions and protect the last bit of dignity of the royal family when the two thieves occupied Chang'an. Therefore, when Liu Xie, the son of heaven, "drove" back to Chang'an, Dong Cheng was arranged by Liu Xie's side because of his identity as the father of Dong Lin, a noble person. At this time, seeing that Liu Xie was almost out of shape in the face of the hundred officials and the four coalition forces, he hurriedly reminded Liu Xie.

"I know!" Liu Xie's words carried a faint sense of alienation, and now that the "Han Loyal Minister" was successfully rescued, and he was so "courteous and docile", Liu Xie remembered more and more that before the defeat of Xiliang, he, the son of the Han Dynasty, was not as deterrent as Dong Cheng, and it was inevitable that there was an evil spirit in his heart that could not be released. But Dong Cheng's words reminded Liu Xie of his identity as the Son of Heaven after all, and he couldn't show his surname so much, and saw his father-in-law Dong Cheng full of gray hair, but he was as respectfully bent over and standing beside him as always, Liu Xie, who was only thirteen years old, couldn't help but think of Dong Cheng's good coming, and he didn't want to show his appearance as a great man in front of Cao Ying, Yuan Shao and others, so he groaned a little, made a broad-minded appearance and said: "I have encountered great difficulties several times, and my mood has changed several times, Uncle Feiguo reminded me this time, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper! ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Your Majesty's posture of heaven and man, you really have the mind to look up to heaven and earth, the old minister is just too much, Your Majesty is so happy to accept, it is really the old minister's respect, but also terrified!" Dong Cheng is a figure who can see the current situation clearly, otherwise he would not have been like a fish in water when the three forces of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Li Dao and Guo Yan controlled the Son of Heaven. Sure enough, as soon as Dong Cheng said this, Liu Xie's face involuntarily showed a satisfied smile. Seeing that Liu Xie's face was relaxed, Dong Cheng was really unwilling to show his foreign appearance in front of a group of foreign ministers, so he hurriedly said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, all the heroes who saved the driver fought all night, and they were already tired, but at this moment, Li Guo's two thieves are running away, and the opportunity to destroy them is no longer lost; I wonder if Your Majesty can order a virtuous person in the court to help the righteous ministers to control the righteous soldiers who come here, and pursue them first, so that they must do their best to show that Your Majesty's heavenly power is shocked? ”

"Hmm! Uncle Guo is right! I have to admire Dong Cheng's ability, this really happened to Liu Xie's heart. Liu Xie, who has gone through several troubles, will not believe that everyone's suspicious surname has penetrated into the bone marrow, and Liu Xie knows that with his current situation, even if he is a real Han Emperor, there is actually no grace that can be inflicted on the more than 100,000 troops in front of him. If these righteous ministers who came to the rescue could not be completely controlled by themselves, and had different intentions, then it could not be said that it would be another Dong Zhuo or two thieves. Therefore, Liu Xie still thinks deeply of Dong Cheng's "temptation" Cao Ying and others' strategies.

"Let's be even! Qing waited for the work of King Qin's rescue, I have it in my heart! After that, there will be a reward! Liu Xieqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and the suspicion caused by what Dong Cheng just said, and said: "Xuan Qinxu, Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others came to see me. The rest of the righteous men rest and wait for the edict. ”

"No!" Although the final "first merit of saving the driver" did not fall on the heads of himself and others, but was picked up by Qin Xu, a lucky boy, seeing that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was going to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, seize the time to grab the "cake", and don't let Qin Xu specialize in beauty before driving is the most important thing at present. In the face of the first edict issued by the Son of Heaven, whether it was Cao Ying or Yuan Shao, Ma Teng Han Sui, who was still supported by Cao Ying, they all chose to give face to the young Son of Heaven in front of them.

Liu Xie was very satisfied with the "acquaintance" of Cao Ying and others. And although he has doubts about the lord of the Qinwang army who has fought more than 100,000 battles all night in front of him, and has no time to rest and wants to do military affairs, after all, he has also experienced many "big scenes", and Liu Xie is really worried that if he says something that makes a certain "righteous minister" misunderstand and not come to the stage, in case there is something not very good "other things" again, then Liu Xie, who has suffered enough, will never want to encounter it again. Moreover, Liu Xie's private words in Dong Cheng's words can also be heard, what is a person of virtue in the court? Looking at the Manchu Dynasty, those who rank seniority and know some military affairs, except for him, Uncle Dong Guo, who was born in the Xiliang Army, the others are either sour Confucian, or they are not proficient in the army. It's better to appease people's hearts first, and then see how to find some balancing and restraining methods, or to rely on a certain family to stabilize the imperial power is the right way.

"Zhong Ming really makes a good means!" When the Son of Heaven returned to the Chang'an Palace, Qin Xu handed over the troops of Xiliang led by Xu Huang, who had been entrusted by Cao Ying, and was about to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven together.

"What does Meng Degong mean by this?" Qin Xu pretended not to understand the meaning of Cao Ying's words, and glanced at Yuan Shao, who was supported by the middle-aged scribe, not far away, and said to Cao Ying with a smile at the moment: "By the way, this time Qin was able to successfully rescue the Son of Heaven, which made Qin's kid famous, and thanks to Meng Degong's love for borrowing troops to transfer generals, such a great favor is really beyond repayment!" At present, Chang'an is dilapidated, the military disasters are suffering, and it is the capital designated by Dong Zhuo in the past, and there are many inconveniences for the Son of Heaven to live here. ”

Scratch someone's back? No, it should be a blockade! Cao Ying didn't expect that after Qin Xu got such a great achievement, he didn't take the opportunity to confuse the Son of Heaven to return to Qingzhou, but still did what Qingyan Erzhou had agreed before, almost indicating that he wanted to support his old Cao.

Cao almost thought he had misheard. When Qin Xu was envoy to Chen Liu, Cao Ying could already see that Qin was actually able to see that although the Son of Heaven was quite hindering, it was definitely a "great effect" that outweighed the disadvantages. In Cao Ying's view, it's just that although Lu Bu's military strength was strong at that time, he was a newcomer to Qingzhou, and his reputation was not good, even if he won the Son of Heaven, he would inevitably be regarded by the world as another Dong Zhuo-like figure; Second, Qingzhou is already tired, with many mountains and few fertile fields, surrounded by enemies on three sides and backed by the sea, and has no strategic depth.

But the situation is very different now. First of all, Lu Bu successfully pacified the six counties and three places of Qingzhou, and then Qin Xu was given to Xuzhou by Tao Qian's child's play, because Xuzhou had inherited the "favor" of Qingzhou before, and there was strong support from the three local families who helped Tao Qian control Xuzhou, so there was not much resistance to Qin Xu, Lu Bu's son-in-law and a son who was related to the Mi family, to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou. It can be said that the current Lu Bu forces, although the background may be worse than Cao Ying, and even less comparable to Yuan Shao in Jizhou, but they already have the capital to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and compete with Jizhou and Yanzhou. And now in this battle of King Qin's rescue, under all kinds of coincidences, Qin Xu first had the merit of going down to Tongguan with a horse, and also had the merit of saving the driver, even if Qingzhou and Xuzhou did not have much "king's spirit", it was enough to wait for the price to sell, but he didn't think that Qin Xu actually mentioned the past at this time.

"Zhong Ming really makes a good means!" The words are the same words, and they come from Cao Ying's mouth at the same time, but the tone has changed a lot, seeing that Yuan Shao, who was being supported by frustration beside him, obviously after listening to his conversation with Qin Xu, a sickly flush appeared on his pale face, and he almost looked at this side angrily, Cao Ying was secretly relieved because of Qin Xu's words, and at the same time, he was also a little more helpless.

"Yes...... But General Yuan and other generals, please ...... Please take the small ...... A certain family entered the palace to meet His Majesty! Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time! "Because of the chaos in the city before, the little yellow gate that used to serve the Son of Heaven didn't know where it fell, so he had no choice but to drag a little yellow gate that was hiding in the toilet when Li Mengbing surrounded the palace and didn't have time to run away. Obviously, this little yellow door has not yet adapted to the sudden decline of "glorious" status, and knows that the six people in front of him even have to scruple about the Son of Heaven, so it is inevitable that there is a little nervousness in his voice, and he can't say anything trembling. However, Qin Xu Cao Ying thought about how to persuade the Son of Heaven to move to Xu County, and did not put his mind on this, Ma Teng Han Sui never thought that the Son of Heaven could really be rescued when he attacked Chang'an before, but he was just thinking about forcing Li Dao to comply. And Yuan Shao because of Yan Liang's loss of Tongguan before, so that Yuan, who has always been very happy, lost face in front of an army of more than 100,000 people, and was angry and was supported by a sick look, and listened to Qin Xu and Cao Ying's "secret scheme", and there was nowhere to go from an evil fire, and when he saw this little yellow door so worried, he was even more angry. Fortunately, the words of this little yellow door made Yuan Shao's heart feel refreshed, and he put his old Yuan's status before a few people, and always earned back a little face, so that Yuan Shao did not get mad at that time.

"Your Majesty has a will, and now the two thieves have been defeated, orthodoxy has returned, the universe is clear, and the atmosphere is clear, which is really the spiritual blessing of the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the sincerity of loyal ministers and heroes. Zhu Qing has the Son of Heaven in his heart, and he is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and he is comforted by me! I have heard that merit is not rewarded, it is not done by human kings, there is no punishment, who can be the power of the son of tomorrow, rewards and punishments do not know how to rule the world with good courtesy? Will, go to Li Dao, Guo Yan and other thieves who bully and rebel in Xiliang should be crowned with rank, and the edict will be punished by the whole world! The police are not subordinate to the people! Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Mu Cao Ying, Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Qin Xu, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Jincheng Taishou Han Sui, etc., and this time the Qinwang Righteous Army up and down the large and small generals, the edict has a division to discuss meritorious rewards, and must not make me a meritorious minister! ”…… (To be continued.) )
