Chapter 557: The Han Dynasty Collapses, and the Heroes Dance (6)
Xuchang Palace, although Cao Cao invited craftsmen to build it according to the appearance of the old capital of Luoyang, but after all, with the financial resources of Cao Cao's family, it is simply impossible to expand Xuchang City and restore the Luoyang Palace City, which took several years to accumulate. Just having seven or eight fractals is already the limit that Cao's forces can bear while ensuring the minimum guarantee of 100,000 troops. Therefore, it is not difficult to find several palaces that are obviously used to support the scene.
The lights are still on in the palace, and just because of Cao Jun's entry into the palace, several huge butter candles have been lit from time to time to make a "beep" sound, illuminating the hall in a dim light.
In the shadow of the carved dragon screen, Liu Xie, whose face was gloomy, was staring at a place outside the door, his eyes flashing with a coldness that did not belong to his age.
"What a dedication! Oh my God! Is it really so unpopular? The place where Liu Xie looked should have been the place where the servants around him rested at night. Just because of the chaos of the soldiers under Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, Liu Xie, after giving the two of them a set, returned to the dormitory to rest with the support of the attendant who was also so frightened that he had already peed his pants, but who knew that it was only half an hour, because Liu Xie, who was very sure that he could give Cao Cao a dumb loss and was excited and couldn't sleep, felt that someone was pushing him in a daze. Just when Liu Xie dimly saw that it was the waiter who was "raging" in Cao Jun's "rage", although he was scared like that, he still did not leave the waiter who was guarding beside him, and was about to respond, but suddenly saw that the waiter suddenly straightened his waist, and there was still a cowardly look on his face half a minute ago, hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered at Liu Xie who was "sleeping", so he got up and walked to the door on tiptoe, waved his hand at the night sky, and immediately two Cao Jun soldiers who seemed to have been waiting for a long time came over, only to see the waiter casually pointing to Liu Xie on the sleeping couch, As if he had whispered something, he was led by the two Cao soldiers who were quite respectful and disappeared into the night around the corner.
This scene all fell somewhere, and there was still a trace of sleepiness. In the eyes of Liu Xie, whose face turned blue. You don't have to think about it to know. After Cao Xiu and Cao Chun and other Cao soldiers retreated, he was ecstatic and accidentally confided in the "loyal servant", saying that it would take a few moments to reach Cao Cao's ears. It is bound to cause Cao Cao to become more and more jealous of himself. If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose (body)! It's true. But fortunately, he, a lonely man, was already withdrawn because of his youth, which made Liu Xie feel the anger of betrayal, and at the same time, he also had a sense of happiness rising from the bottom of his heart.
Unexpected, unexpected. Cao Cao's tentacles are so many. Before, Liu Xie didn't know that there would inevitably be Cao Jun's detectives in the palace, and even the palace guards were controlled by Cao Jun, and he installed one or two inside lines, always grasping his whereabouts and words that day, which was a matter of cleaning up, which was not unusual for Liu Xie at all. However, what made Liu Xie's anger was that this chamberlain was when he was still the king of Chen Liu. has been by his side, before and after nearly ten years, Luoyang, Chang'an, until the current Xuchang, a lot of displacement, so that Liu Xie in many cases really regarded this in-house servant who never left as a confidant. Some of the words that are held in my heart are also willing to say a few words to this person once in a while. Just now, he also shared his "proud work" with him through a few hints of style, but how could he have expected that this person had accompanied him under the high pressure of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, but he took refuge in Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty! Nowadays, ethics are in turmoil, etiquette and music are difficult to recover, and people's hearts are not ancient. Compare your majesty with Cao thief. Of course, he knows the reason why good birds choose trees to perch on, so why should Your Majesty bother with such villains! Just when Liu Xiewu spontaneously sighed angrily, but he was helpless after thinking about it, a cold voice came from outside the hall, which made Liu Xie, the great Hantian, startled. Unconsciously, a small coat was soaked in an instant.
"Who's coming? Disturbing my dormitory in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of the great crime of bullying the king! Liu Xie only felt that this voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who the voice was, so he had the courage to ask in a low voice for a long time.
"Your Majesty has mistaken the person who disturbed Your Majesty's rest!" Stepping on the door outside the night with his sleeves unannounced. But it wasn't Yuan Shang, who was stunned with a calm face. Just now, because of the orders of Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, even the soldiers of Cao Jun who usually "protected" outside the gate of Liu Xie's dormitory also went with them, saving Yuan Shang and Yuan Shang a lot of effort. It wasn't until this time that Yuan Shang figured out why he always felt familiar just now, wasn't this the bedroom palace when he met the two of them in order to show intimacy and cover Cao Jun's eyes and ears! Didn't he say that he would take himself out of the palace, and he would assist him in the future, so he would never have to worry about Cao Cao's assassination, why did he come to this place in a bad way? Isn't it possible to let the heavens send the two of them out?
"Is it Fu Qing and Yuan Qing? How did you two stay up all night? You must know that now the army under Cao Mengde is wanton in the palace! Liu Xie finally saw the appearance of the person who came in, after experiencing today's "chaos" of Cao Jun, and the matter of the thief, Liu Xie was a little more cautious before he was sure of the intention of coming here, and then said: "But don't worry, the two Qing families are still safe now!" Cao Mengde is afraid that he is writing words to his two clan generals at the moment, thinking about how to get rid of the crime! ”
"Oh? Does Your Majesty think that Cao Cao will be guilty of disturbing the sleeping peace of the first emperor and the palace people because of the soldiers under his command? As if he heard the smugness in Liu Xie's words, his frustrated eyes flashed, he pursed the corners of his mouth at the door, and asked lightly: "What's more, ......"
"Ah...... This ......" I have to say, but Liu Xie's words made Liu Xie really don't know how to answer for a while. Oh, yes! If Cao Cao was really the one who abided by the rules and knew that "the power of heaven is unpredictable", how could he send heavy troops to disrupt the palace in the middle of the night in the name of cleaning the palace to prepare for the big wedding? It seems that his "wonderful plan" to lure Cao Cao into the palace is also based on the fact that Cao Cao, who has no choice but to hold military power, is a subordinate means given to his ministers by himself, the lord of the empire. can force the king of a country to this, how can he have the so-called fear when he has a high-sounding reason, as Liu Xie thought? Not to mention what Fu Zhi said, because of the "anti-water" of the inner servant, it is impossible to achieve his own goals by "slandering" Cao Cao.
Looking at the questions and answers of the two gentlemen and ministers, Yuan Shang, who was standing on the side, was a little unbelievable. Oh my God! The real emperor of the Han Empire, although he did not win the country properly, he was also the king of a country after all. When I first saw this Tian, who was a year younger than me, I had a moment of envy. How could that kind of nobility and harmony from all over the world appear in a thin and pale young man, could it be that the word "emperor" really has such a use? It's no wonder that such a smart person as his second uncle also folded in this matter. However, at this moment, Yuan Shang suddenly felt that he didn't have so much "feeling" for Liu Xie. It's like discovering a god card that is originally high, and when it falls into mortal dust, it will shatter into pieces like ordinary wood.
"I have my own plans for this matter, and I don't need to say anything about it! It's just that I don't know what the two of them have to do when they come to visit so late! A hint of embarrassment flashed on Liu Xie's face, but out of pride in his heart, in the face of these two allies who had stood with him on the front line of "dealing with" Cao Cao, Liu Xie still put on a posture of being alone, and his tone was much calmer, and he said in frustration.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and the others are here to resign!" The disappointment in his eyes was difficult to hide, and there was a thick bitterness in his face, and the last trace of an emotional smile gradually faded, and the mechanical version of Chong Liu Xie made a long bow and replied.
"Resignation?! Right now!? Frustrated...... You have to think about it, don't act impulsively! "To tell the truth, for this Hebei celebrity who once proposed to Yuan Shao to coerce the sky to order the princes and became famous all over the world, Liu Xie was resistant at the beginning, but when he was recommended by Dong Cheng...
After the two of them came to Yuan Shang, especially after they also cooperated to pit the common enemy Cao Cao, Liu Xie had a strong appreciation for the former mastermind of Yuan Shao's forces, otherwise he would not have hidden the two in the palace when Cao Cao's class was intensified, and when there was no way out. At this moment, Liu Xie really realized that there was an excellent strategist by his side, especially a strategist who also had no good impression of Cao Cao, and gave advice for himself to deal with Cao Cao, compared to fighting alone, even the closest and most trusted people around him were bought by Cao Cao, which was countless times better. Therefore, Liu Xie really felt a trace of reluctance in his heart for the sudden resignation of the frustrated professor at this juncture. But only a hint of it. In Liu Xie's heart, he is a heaven after all, and before, including now, he has shown enough goodwill and solicitation to Fu Zhu. If he was frustrated with current affairs, Liu Xie could have taken into account the overall situation and not care about this person who once wanted to "blackmail the sky", but who would have thought that such a smart person would suddenly become stupid, and chose to turn a blind eye to the kindness in Liu Xie's words. This made Liu Xie, who was angry just now because he thought the rebellion of the servants, was also angry.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is very calm now!" Fu Zhu was really calm, and his tone was even colder, and said: "It's just that the two of us want to leave the palace now, although Your Majesty has the great grace to support most of the Cao army soldiers for the two of us, but it is far from enough, neither of us is a human enemy, as long as I leak my whereabouts a little, I am afraid that I will not be discovered and pursued by the Cao army immediately." Therefore, please Your Majesty, for the sake of the first prince of the Yuan family, such as the first prince and the father-in-law, to serve your majesty, and give the ministers one thing to ensure their safety. ”
"Huh?! What do you want me to give you? In order to avoid the pursuit of more than 2,000 people in Cao Jun? Seeing that the frustration had already been decided, he wasted his tongue like this, but he still didn't know the current affairs, but Liu Xie's voice was also a little impatient.
"......" did not answer, but finally let go of the hands that had been gathered under the wide sleeves of his robe since he entered the temple.
It was a cold light......
