Han Dao world

Chapter 372
Looking at the situation, Liu Xie knew he was being hasty.He committed the same childish disease as Lu Xiaohuan, and took his own humiliation.

Who is Lu Bu?If he really wanted to take concubines, ten Mrs. Wei would also be chopped off.

One of the couple is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

The question is, do I want to lose face as the emperor?
"If that's the case, let's lock them up together and choose another day for execution." Liu Xie said through gritted teeth, finding another step for himself. "Spring does not kill, let you live for half a year longer."

Shi A and the others were stunned, and looked at Liu Xie suspiciously.

Liu Xie winked.Of course he wouldn't kill Lu Bu because of this, but as the emperor, he couldn't just let him go, otherwise anyone would be able to resist the imperial edict in the future, so how can he play?
Shi A understood, brought a few tigers forward, and tied Lu Bu and Mrs. Wei together.

Mrs. Wei obviously didn't expect this result, and she was dumbfounded, with tears in her eyes. "Husband, I killed you."

"Alas..." Lu Bu let out a long sigh, bowed his head and remained silent.

Liu Xie saw it clearly, and suddenly became suspicious.

Lu Bu is not such an honest person, there will be no fraud in it, right?
Okay, I'll play with you and see who is behind the scenes.

Huben dragged Lu Bu and his wife down.Meiji Shanyuting did not have a court prison, but only a few dungeons, and Lu Bu and his wife were thrown into a dungeon without a cover.With Lu Bu's height, it is estimated that he can climb out with a little effort.

But Lu Bu sat obediently against the wall, with a calm face, and kept comforting Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei was really scared, she leaned on Lu Bu, weeping uncontrollably.

After half an hour, Lu Xiaohuan, who received the news, rushed over, jumped into the dungeon, first hugged Lu Bu and cried loudly, then hugged Madam Wei, crying and begging.

"Mum, it's all my daughter's fault. If you both die, I won't be able to live either."

"Xiaohuan, hurry up." Mrs. Wei squeezed Lu Xiaohuan out with her shoulders. "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved."

"Why has nothing to do with me." Lu Xiaohuan was terrified. "I begged the emperor to issue an edict. I originally thought... thought that with the edict, you could let Aweng take a concubine and have a younger brother. Aweng, I want a younger brother..."

Only then did Mrs. Wei understand that the reason why the emperor suddenly ordered Lu Bu to take a concubine was here.

She looked at Lu Xiaohuan who was crying into a colorful cat, feeling distressed and annoyed.

"Xiaohuan, hurry up and get out." Lu Bu also persuaded, "I will die with your mother, but you must live well. Otherwise, who will inherit my title in the future?"

"Ah Jie, resisting the imperial edict is disrespectful, and the title will be deprived." Lu Xiaohuan said tearfully.

"Is that so?" Lu Bu was greatly shocked, looking at Lu Xiaohuan, and then at Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei obviously didn't expect this result, and she was stupid at the time.

"Mother, just admit your mistake and let Aweng take a concubine. Otherwise, just..." Lu Xiaohuan begged tearfully, shaking Madam Wei's arm.

Mrs. Wei was trembling all over, tears streaming down her face, and she nodded weakly after a while.

Lu Xiaohuan was overjoyed, she climbed out of the dungeon with both hands and feet, and went straight to the imperial tent.

Liu Xie was discussing government affairs with Xun You, when he saw Lu Xiaohuan rushing in, he immediately understood the result.But he didn't give Lu Xiaohuan a chance to speak, and frowned slightly.

"Break into the imperial tent, what do you want to do?"

"Ah?" Lu Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, my mother agreed, she..."

"She accepts the imperial edict if she wants to accept it, but she doesn't accept it if she doesn't want to accept it?" Liu Xie shouted in a deep voice: "As a Lang official, you come in without calling. Do you want to assassinate him?"

"No, no, no..." Lu Xiaohuan panicked, and hurriedly unfastened the knife belt around her waist.

Lang Guan at the side was startled when he saw it, he rushed up and knocked Lu Xiaohuan down.No matter what Lu Xiaohuan's intentions were, if he casually touched a knife in front of the emperor, he would be suspected of assassination.Even if the emperor didn't say it, they couldn't let her do it.

Liu Xie waved his hand and ordered someone to disarm Lu Xiaohuan and throw him into the dungeon to be locked up with Lu Bu and his wife.

Seeing that Lu Xiaohuan was also arrested and accused of murdering the emperor, Lu Bu was completely dumbfounded.

Inside the imperial tent, Liu Xie sat opposite Xun You.

"Gongda, guess whose idea this is?"

Xun You smiled and said, "If there is a plan, it must be Chen Gong."

"He has spent so much time, what can he ask for?"

"Does Your Majesty want to kill Lu Bu?"

Liu Xie was slightly startled, and looked at Xun You in surprise.

"If Your Majesty wants to kill Lu Bu, this is the best opportunity." Xun You said unhurriedly, "There is a crime of resisting the imperial edict. Killing Lu Bu is justified. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others have nothing to say. Although Lu Bu is lost alone, Your Majesty can get Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Liu Xie frowned.

He realized that Xun You was not joking, but seriously advised him to take this opportunity to kill Lu Bu and take Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others for his own use.

In this battle against the Xianbei people, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun performed outstandingly and were promoted to official positions.Zhang Liao was the general of Dangkou, and Gao Shun was the general of Hengye.But as Lu Bu's subordinates, a large part of their credit should be credited to Lu Bu.

As a result, Lu Bu became a meritorious minister. Not only did he retain the title of Marquis Wen, but he also got five hundred households in real food towns.

If Lu Bu survived, was still active on the battlefield, and was the direct superior of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, this situation would continue forever.As long as Lu Bu doesn't make any mistakes, he can rely on the contributions of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to rise up step by step until he becomes a general.

Obviously, it would be better to kill Lu Bu and take Zhang Liao and Gao Shun directly under his account.

"What if you don't kill Lu Bu?"

"If Your Majesty does not kill Lu Bu, Madam Wei will accept the imperial edict and allow Lu Bu to take a concubine and have a son. If Lu Bu's wish is fulfilled, Chen Gong must be regarded as a benefactor. With Lu Bu as his aid, Chen Gong can be a prominent official when he enters northern Xinjiang, and he can travel preferentially when he retires. in the world."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly. "It's a good plan to play with Lu Bu's family of three in the palm of his hand, but he doesn't even show his face."

Xun You said: "But what Chen Gong did is to create an opportunity for His Majesty."

"So I should also be grateful to him?"

Xun You didn't speak, but his meaning was very clear.

Liu Xie thought about it carefully.Although Chen Gong's plan was thought to be too vicious, it was indeed brilliant, comparable to Jia Xu's plan of persuading Li Jue and Guo Si to attack Chang'an.

The only difference is that Jia Xu is doing it to save his life, while Chen Gong is doing it for his official career.

"How should I deal with it?"

"Your Majesty might as well just sit and watch the changes. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will definitely ask Chen Gong for advice after receiving the news. At that time, His Majesty will decide Chen Gong's life or death with only a few words."

Liu Xie took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Xun You's words seem to be easy to say, but in fact there are far-reaching intentions behind them.

Chen Gong used Lu Bu's family as a bargaining chip, as a step up for him.Why didn't Xun You use Chen Gong as a bargaining chip to test his attitude towards the advisers from the Kanto region?

You can say that Chen Gong's intentions are vicious, but Chen Gong's plan is always for the sake of the imperial court, making it difficult for people not to be tempted and become a confidant.

These top strategists are really exhaustive, killing people without blood.
