Chapter 26 The Unexpected Exam

Dong Cheng turned around to arrange lunch, while Liu Xie stood alone in Weishui, lost in thought.

His mood was visibly bad.

Although he has never dared to have any optimistic estimates, the reality still breaks down his lower limit time and time again.

This gave him an ominous premonition that historical tragedies might be unavoidable. No matter how hard he tried, he would still be beaten to pieces by Li Jue and Guo Si, and his dignity would be crushed to pieces.

Death in battle is not just a passionate slogan, it is likely to become a reality.

"Your Majesty." Yang Xiu quietly walked over.

"Huh?" Liu Xie withdrew his mind, turned his head slightly, and looked at Yang Xiu suspiciously.

Yang Xiu pursed his lips, looked around quietly, and said softly: "I have a foolish opinion, I dare to ask Your Majesty to consider it."

"tell me the story."

Yang Xiu raised his chin and looked at the slowly flowing Weishui. "Why don't your majesty cross the Wei River, enter the River East, and then rely on the river to refuse to defend? Anyway... the River East is always going."

Liu Xie laughed silently.

Yang Xiu was scared.

Even though he lacked practical experience, it could be seen that Dong Cheng and others had limited combat power and had no confidence in the upcoming battle.

"If you don't bother the two masters, let you do the planning, how about it?"

Yang Xiu blushed with a embarrassed expression.The emperor saw his timidity, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, I... I just want to be safe, not... definitely not..."

"It's okay, this is to seek survival from death. It's human nature for you to be afraid." Liu Xie turned and looked at Weishui, and said lightly.

Yang Xiu smacked his lips, not knowing how to respond.

The Son of Heaven is telling the truth.But the more truthful, sometimes the more hurtful self-esteem.

After a while, Liu Xie said again: "Do you know Yuyuelongmen?"

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this Dragon Gate is not the other Dragon Gate. The Dragon Gate where Yuyue Dragon Gate is located is in Henan, not in Hedong."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu.He really didn't know that the dragon gate of Yuyue Longmen was in Henan, and he always thought it was the nearby dragon gate.

Yang Xiu also lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could slap himself.

What the Son of Heaven is concerned about is the carp going up against the current, jumping over the dragon gate and transforming into a dragon, but he is concerned about which dragon gate it is, which is really inferior.

The Son of Heaven is so intelligent, how can he not know that this Dragon Gate is not that Dragon Gate?
Both of them were embarrassed and speechless for a while.

After all, Liu Xie was thick-skinned, so he quickly regained his composure, and said nonchalantly, "It's easy to go with the flow, but difficult to go against the current. But because of the difficulty, it is possible for a fish to turn into a dragon. Don't Confucianists pay attention to knowing what is impossible? "

"Your Majesty's words are true. This minister is being abrupt. It's just that in the current situation, if you force a fight, it may be more dangerous than good."

Liu Xie nodded, then shook his head again. "Based on Dezu's opinion, how likely is it that the great Han will be revived?"

Yang Xiu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

In his view, the chances of a great Han revival are almost nonexistent.

"Is it similar to Yuyuelongmen?"

Yang Xiu smiled wryly and nodded.

Liu Xie suddenly became interested.

Yang Xiu's reaction was within his expectation and exactly what he hoped for.If Yang Xiu patted his chest solemnly and said, Your Majesty is wise, the big man will be able to rejuvenate, then he doesn't want to say anything more to Yang Xiu.

"Dezu, you are full of knowledge, can you clear up my confusion?"

Yang Xiu was taken aback, stared at Liu Xie for a moment, and saluted respectfully. "Don't dare to answer questions. If your majesty asks, I will know everything, and I will say everything. Even if there is a wild place, I dare not hide my clumsiness."

Liu Xie nodded. "At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes rose together. There were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and Xiang Yu, a noble and famous general of the Chu Kingdom, why did Emperor Gao rule the world in the end?"

Without hesitation, Yang Xiu opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Liu Xie with a wave of his hand.

"Dezu, you must have read Jia Yi's "On Passing the Qin Dynasty". If there is nothing new, don't talk about it."

"Uh..." Yang Xiu's words filled his throat, and his face turned red.

I thought the emperor was just asking casually, but I didn't expect it to be an unexpected big exam.

Who is Jia Yi?That's real genius.

Liu Xin, who studies classics, once said: The only Confucian in the Han Dynasty was Jia Sheng.

Not to mention the haste, even if he was asked to think hard for a year, he might not be able to come up with a brilliant opinion beyond "On the Passing of Qin Dynasty".

It's ridiculous that he actually planned to improvise.

sloppy.

Seeing Yang Xiu's embarrassment, Liu Xie smiled slightly. "Dezu, you might as well take this question as your dragon gate."

Yang Xiu's expression was slightly trembling, and his heart was ecstatic. This is His Majesty's high hope for him.

He dusted off his sleeves, adjusted his clothes again, and gave a deep salute.

"only."

-

A pony galloped along the river bank, and a girl on the horse shouted, raising her handkerchief.

"His Majesty--"

Liu Xie looked up, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly, and his heart felt a little softer.

That was Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong Wan, who was his childhood sweetheart. When he was young, he often went to the palace with Dong Cheng, and made love at the Empress Dowager Dong's lap.

Now that I think about it, Empress Dowager Dong deliberately let Dong Wan enter the palace. Getting married has always been a common method used by foreign relatives, and it is also the main culprit that caused the royal blood to be inferior to one generation after another.

Since the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been many situations where the big clan has no heirs and the small clan has succeeded.

If you don't consider those things, Dong Wan is a pretty good playmate.

She is very cute, and... not very smart, unlike Fu Shou who is very cautious, and has an almost blind worship for him—the real Liu Xie.

She later married Liu Xie as she wished, and became Dong Guiren, but unfortunately she did not die well, and was killed by Cao Cao together with her father Dong Cheng, together with the child in her belly.

Dong Wan came to Liu Xie, got off the horse, threw the reins, and bowed gracefully.

"Concubine Dong Wan, I have seen Your Majesty."

Liu Xie waved. "Awan, your riding skills are really good."

"Hee hee, I learned it secretly without telling my father." Dong Wan was very proud. "I heard that His Majesty is coming. I took advantage of my father's inattention and sneaked out. I will have no chance to talk to Your Majesty again when all the generals meet with Your Majesty."

"Uncle won't let you ride a horse?"

"Well, he said that this is not what my daughter's family should learn, let alone what I should learn." Dong Wan glanced at Liu Xie secretly, and two red clouds flew up on his face. "Your Majesty, I heard that we are going to move the camp to be closer to the imperial camp?"

"Yes, Li Jue and Guo Si are coming, we have to prepare for battle."

Dong Wan clenched her small fist and waved it vigorously. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Father will definitely protect His Majesty the same way he was in Xinfeng last time."

Yang Xiu on the side listened, curled his lips, and then turned his head to the side.

Liu Xie didn't change his face, and echoed: "Yes, I'm not worried. Uncle will protect me and you too."

With Liu Xie's approval, Dong Wan was overjoyed. "Your Majesty, can I see Your Majesty often in the future, just like in Yongle Palace?"

"Of course." Liu Xie had an idea, and said casually: "How about you come back to the imperial camp with me later?"

"Okay, okay." Dong Wan clapped her hands and applauded, but then hesitated. "Is it...too hasty?"
