Chapter 1114: Coaxing first and then scaring for the throne
The morning sun spreads in the city of Xudu.
There are not many Qin troops on the streets of the city.
The battlefield has been cleared, and the people in the city have not been harassed by the Qin army.
The door of a family slowly opened, and he hid in the house all night, and without waiting for Qin Jun to kick in the door, a man stuck out his head and looked into the street.
The soldiers of the Qin army washed the streets where the battle took place the day before, the blood stains on the streets have been washed away, and the soldiers on both sides who died in the battle have also been resettled.
The dead were transported to the wilderness outside the city for burial, and the entire city of Xudu was as if it had never experienced a battle.
The streets were empty, there were not even half pedestrians, not even the existence of the soldiers of the Qin army.
Sticking out his head and looking out for a while, the man turned back and shouted into the house: "it, it's like there's no one on the street!" ”
Hiding in the house, in addition to this man, there was also a woman and a pair of their children.
When the man opened the door, the woman hugged the two young children tightly and looked at the door in horror.
Hearing the man say that there was no one on the street, the woman was also a little puzzled, and when she arrived at the door with her two children, she also stuck her head out of the door and looked.
Sure enough, there was no one on the street, but the woman saw that right next to them, the door of the house was also opened, and two heads stuck out of the door, looking out of the door.
More and more houses opened their doors, but no one ran out onto the street.
Just as the people on the street were sticking out their heads and looking out, the sound of neat footsteps reached people's ears.
"The Qin army is here!" Footsteps were heard, and then I don't know who shouted, and people saw a neatly formed group of red-clad patrols coming at the end of the street.
Appearing at the end of the street was a Qin army with patrol tasks.
Seeing Qin Jun coming over, the people in the house hurriedly closed the door one after another.
Some families did not close the door in time, and the children in the family were too naughty, and when they saw Qin Jun in red, they ran out of the house very curiously.
When the child ran out of the house, the patrolling Qin army had already arrived in front of him.
The child's mother, who hid in the house, saw Qin Jun arrive in front of the child, let out a miserable scream, and fainted in fright.
Walking past the child, the Qin army in front of him didn't seem to see him, only a Qin soldier at the end of the team touched the top of his head caressingly.
The top of his head was touched by the soldiers of the Qin army, and the child also stretched out his little hand and tugged at the placket of his clothes, as if he was a little nostalgic for his red battle suit.
Qin Jun, who was stroking the top of the child's head, grinned, didn't linger long, and followed the team forward.
Qin Jun did not harm the children, nor did he have the slightest intention of breaking into the houses on both sides, but walked all the way along the street.
Seeing this group of Qin troops leaving, the people walked out of their homes one after another, stretched their necks one by one, and looked at their backs.
When people go out of their homes, more people are emboldened, and more and more people are taking to the streets.
Before the sun climbed the three poles, the people in the city of Xudu were completely forgotten about the Qin army's fear of the Qin army.
Shops were opened, and vendors moved out of their homes to sell their lives in the streets, and it took only one day for the city, where there had been a fight, to regain its former life.
The people in the city did not receive the slightest harassment, but the officials who had followed Cao Cao did not have such good luck.
Outside the door of each official's mansion, there was a team of heavily armed Qin troops, and the officials' homes went up to the master's house and down to the servants, and everyone was only allowed to go out, and the officials in the entire Xu capital city were put under house arrest by the Qin army.
The one who was under house arrest the most was Liu Xie, who was hiding in the palace.
Since the Qin army broke through Xudu, Liu Xie has been hiding in the dormitory, and he hasn't even taken half a step.
Seeing that the sun had already risen three poles, and no one from the Qin army came to see him, Liu Xie faintly felt a sense of unease in his heart.
Just when he and Empress Fu were worried about what King Qin would do with them, the voice of a Qin soldier came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Jia Zhonglang asks to see you!" ”
Although the soldiers of the Qin army added the word "陛xià" to their titles, there was no sense of respect in their tones.
Liu Xie, who was hiding in the house, also knew that the Qin army's soldiers were just greeting him, and as for Jia Xu wanting to enter the dormitory, it didn't matter whether he agreed or not.
He also knew where these joints were in his heart, and Liu Xie said to the outside of the house: "Please Jia Zhonglang come in and see you!" ”
Before his words fell, the door of the dormitory was pushed open by the guards, and Jia Xu had already stepped into the house.
walked straight to the inner room where Liu Xie rested at night, first glanced at him and Queen Fu, and then Jia Xu hugged his fists and said to the two: "Minister Jia Xu, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
is accustomed to being used as fish and meat on the chopping board, Liu Xie immediately smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Zhonglang is not polite, and please sit wide!" ”
After thanking Liu Xie, Jia Xu did not sit down immediately, but said to him: "Your Majesty, I am here today, and the minister has brought a person for Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will receive you!" ”
"Since it is recommended by Zhonglang, I should see each other!" Sitting up straight, Liu Xie didn't forget to straighten his clothes, and said to Jia Xu: "I hope Zhonglang invites guests in!" ”
With a smile on his face, Jia Xu turned around and shouted outside the house: "Please Concubine Dong in!" ”
As soon as Jia Xu's words came out, Liu Xie and Queen Fu were both stunned, and both of them showed disbelief on their faces.
Concubine Dong was implicated in the matter of the edict of the clothes and belts, but fortunately, someone secretly helped her leave Xudu, but since then, Liu Xie and Queen Fu have never heard about her.
As soon as the Qin army broke through Xu Du, Concubine Dong returned to Xu Du, obviously she was protected by the King of Qin these days.
looked at the door with a stunned face, and with a ringing bell, what appeared in front of Liu Xie and Queen Fu was indeed Concubine Dong, who almost died in the hands of Cao Cao.
Seeing Concubine Dong, Liu Xie's body was in arrears, and he subconsciously stretched out his hands to her.
Walking in front of Liu Xie, Concubine Dong had not yet spoken, she was already full of tears, and she saluted him and Queen Fu, without saying anything, but she couldn't cry and became a tearful person.
"The reunion of His Majesty and his wife is gratifying!" Jia Xu, who was standing on the side, saw Liu Xie stand up and grabbed Concubine Dong's hands, arched at him with his fists, and said with a smile: "The minister still has something important to discuss with His Majesty, I don't know ......."
At this point, Jia Xu stopped talking, but his eyes were looking at Queen Fu and Concubine Dong.
Although the two of them are women, they are also Bingxue smart, how can they not understand that Jia Xu doesn't want the two of them to stay here, so they hurriedly told Liu Xie to retreat, and both left the inner room.
After Empress Fu and Concubine Dong left, Jia Xu bowed to Liu Xie again, and then sat on a straw mat in the house.
Sitting opposite Jia Xu, Liu Xie hugged his fists and said to him: "Zhonglang will send Concubine Dong back to me, and I will definitely be rewarded in the future!" ”
"Your Majesty wants to thank you, not Weichen!" Holding his fists and bowing, Jia Xu said to Liu Xie: "Concubine Dong fled from Xu Capital that day, but His Highness was looking for people everywhere and secretly protecting, so that there was a time for His Majesty and his wife to reunite today!" ”
Hearing that it was Concubine Dong who Liu Wei had saved for him, thinking that he had sent assassins to assassinate Liu Wei back then, Liu Xie's face instantly flashed with a touch of guilt, but Jia Xu's later words made him no longer feel guilty.
"His Majesty and His Highness are born in the same vein!" Staring at this Liu Xie, Jia Xu said to him softly: "I don't know if Your Majesty knows that if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo's usurpation of power back then, who would be in charge of this world?" ”
"I am the King of Qin!" As an emperor, although he has always been a puppet of people, Liu Xie is not a stupid person, although Jia Xu said it vaguely, but he still heard the inner meaning from it, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
The most ruthless imperial family!
In the peaceful and prosperous times, the emperor's heirs would fight to the death in order to compete for the throne, not to mention that in the troubled times, he first took the throne from Liu Wei, and then sent assassins for fear of Liu Wei reclaiming the emperor, intending to kill Liu Wei.
These things, each and every one of them, were enough to make him die a thousand times.
"The Han River and the Mountains, the Fertile Land is Thousands of Miles!" Staring at Liu Xie, Jia Xu continued: "Your Majesty, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, has you ever had an inch of land in your hands?" ”
"Nothing!" Lowering his head, the cold sweat on Liu Xie's forehead was already the size of soybeans, and when he answered Jia Xu, his voice was like a gnat.
Jia Xu didn't seem to see Liu Xie's fear at all, and then said: "Stabilize the country, and there are millions of mustaches!" Is there a soldier in your hand? ”
"Nothing!" Raising his sleeves and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Liu Xie responded again.
"Your Majesty has nothing, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin has!" With a smile on his face, Jia Xu lowered his voice to a very low level and asked Liu Xie: "In the opinion of His Majesty, who is more suitable to be the lord of this country?" ”
didn't expect Jia Xu to ask so clearly, Liu Xie was stunned, and he couldn't respond immediately.
Seeing the panic in Liu Xie's gaze, Jia Xu then asked him: "Your Majesty, do you think that power is at stake in this world, or is life at stake?" ”
This sentence seems to be asked for no reason, but in Liu Xie's ears, it is undoubtedly the most direct threat.
Hurriedly clasped up his fists, Liu Xie said to Jia Xu: "Annoying Zhonglang told King Qin that the rivers and mountains of Dahan were originally owned by King Qin, and I am willing to give up the throne to King Qin!" The world is unified, when there is a Ming Lord, the Han Sheji, when there is a Ming Jun! I am willing to lead the horse and saddle for the king of Qin and be a pawn before the horse. ”
Originally, I thought that it would be very difficult to persuade Liu Xie, but when he heard him say this, Jia Xu showed an approving smile on his face, slowly stood up, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty is broad-minded, the King of Qin must be grateful, and His Royal Highness is here to repair the book, and it is clear that His Majesty understands the righteous act!" ”
