The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 648 Impeachment
Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

In the majestic and majestic palace hall, the emperor Liu Xie was wearing a red ink emperor robe, kneeling in front of the dragon table, looking up and listening carefully, the grand master Ma Rixie was giving a lecture.

In recent years, the Guanzhong area has barely been able to be regarded as smooth weather.It is rare for the monarch and his ministers to live in harmony, and for the people to starve to death.

Regarding the correction of government affairs in the imperial court, the Sangong is almost fully authorized to handle it.After all, the Son of Heaven is young, not enough to strategize and win a thousand miles.

On this day, Ma Rixun talked about history books and biographies, which happened to talk about the deeds of the power minister Huo Guang.

When he heard that Huo Guang abolished the emperor Liu He, Liu Xie's body trembled subconsciously, and his eyes were full of timidity and fear.He couldn't help but recall that when he was in Luoyang, there was a vicious man with a big belly who broke into the palace, ruined his father's concubines every night, and even abolished his brother's throne.

Although the man had been dead for many years, the shadow cast by that ferocious face on Liu Xie's heart never really dissipated.

"When a person has great power, it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts."

Ma Rixun put down the bamboo slips in his hand, sighed, and started talking seemingly unintentionally.

However, to Liu Xie, these words were undoubtedly the loudest alarm bell.

He is young, but he is not stupid.

After listening to Huo Guang's story, another figure appeared in Liu Xie's mind.

At this time, an eunuch entered the palace holding bamboo slips and happily reported: "Your Majesty, a great victory on the front line!"

Liu Xie opened the brief report from the Taiwei and slowly browsed through it.

It is mentioned in the report that Grand Sima Lu Bu repelled Cao Cao in Waihuang and killed [-] enemies in Chenliu. Soon he will start a decisive battle with Yuan Shu at the junction of Chenliu and Yuzhou.

"I see, you can step back." Liu Xie waved his hand, according to past practice, he must write back to praise and reward Lu Bu.

But today, he seems to have forgotten about it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something important to announce..."

Outside the hall, there were bursts of shouts.

"Who is making noise outside?"

Liu Xie's face is very ugly, how can others be presumptuous in the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Yilang Gong Yi. It is said that he is reporting something important. I asked him just now, but he refused to tell." Han Xuan of Xiaohuangmen replied respectfully.

"Let him in."

Liu Xie calmed down and sat back on the throne.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in outside the hall, wearing low-level court clothes, his face looked quite refined, he should be a Confucian scholar.

"Minister Gong Yi, pay homage to Your Majesty, my emperor will last forever."

"Gong Yilang, are you convicted?" Liu Xie looked at the bent man below with displeasure.This would change the temper of his father Liu Hong, who had ordered someone to drag him down and behead him.

"Your Majesty is sorry, but I have something important to report, so I neglected etiquette. Please forgive me." Gong Yi said loudly, defending his rudeness.

"What do you want to tell me?" Liu Xie, who was sitting upright, opened his sleeves and asked, if he couldn't give a reasonable answer, he would definitely be sent to prison for questioning.

Gong Yi glanced left and right at the attendants and maids in the palace, hesitant to speak.

"You all go down!" Liu Xie waved his hands knowingly, leaving only the Grand Tutor Ma Rixun to listen in the hall.

After the attendants came out of the palace, Gong Yi knelt on the ground and began to play with a firm face: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the current chief Sima, Lu Bu!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall instantly became silent, and needles could be heard.

Surprise was written on Liu Xie's face, and then anger surged: "Da Sima has made outstanding achievements, won the trust of the late emperor, and once saved me from danger, he is the pillar of the country! If you can't say anything good or bad, you will be framing an important minister. I will immediately decree that you will confiscate your family and exterminate your family!"

In the face of the emperor's wrath, Gong Yi did not panic at all. Since he dared to say this, he had put life and death aside.

"Your Majesty, since Gaozu established the Great Han Foundation, the emperors of all dynasties have ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, with a heart of forgiveness, and compassion for all people."

Kneeling slightly, Gong Yi straightened his body, his face was agitated, as if he was about to burst out with anger: "However, Lu Bu is cruel by nature, relying on his ability to save him, he acted recklessly and disregarded human life."

"As early as when he was the captain of the frontier fortress, he sold war horses and sold salt and iron privately without the permission of the court. This is a serious crime!"

"Last year, when Lu Bu passed Wen County, the local people knelt down and shouted long live, and Lu Bu accepted it generously. He acted arbitrarily and didn't take His Majesty to heart at all. This is the second major crime!"

"The Yuan family has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations, and Cao Mengde is also a loyal person who has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. However, Lu Bu insisted on leaving the customs to fight and provoke wars, causing the people to suffer and exile. These are the three major crimes!"

"Recently, Lu Bu killed and surrendered [-] unarmed soldiers. This was done by a butcher, but he used it as a meritorious service to deceive the Holy Majesty. If you want to make meritorious deeds so urgently, don't you want to go one step further and seal the king as equal to His Majesty? Is it? With such disobedience, the four major crimes!"

Gong Yi really dared to speak. After listing the crimes of Lu Bu, he bowed his hands to the emperor and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, every crime mentioned by the minister is well documented. Please issue an order to arrest Lu Bu and His party members are sent to prison and punished, and justice will be restored to the world!"

After speaking, Gong Yi hit the ground heavily.

After Liu Xie heard this, he felt as if a big rock had been crushed in his heart, making him almost out of breath.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Liu Xie also understands this truth now.Now that the entire imperial court is in the hands of Lu Bu, even if he wants to punish Lu Bu, he must first weigh whether he has the strength.

Especially the lesson Ma Rixun taught him today made him even more afraid of Lu Bu.

Facing Gong Yi's impeachment, Liu Xie's face was very dazed, he seemed a little at a loss, let alone what to do, so he could only look at the teacher for help, and asked: "Teacher, what do you think? ?”

In the entire palace, there were not many people Liu Xie trusted, and Ma Rixun was definitely one of them.

Hearing His Majesty's enquiry, the old matriarch stooped up like an old man drooping down the hills, and his voice was weak: "The old minister has been in charge of teaching His Majesty to be a king all the year round. He rarely communicates with others and knows little about the outside world."

The old matriarch wanted to be wise and protect himself, but when he saw the helpless expression of the emperor, he remembered the kindness of old Yuan Gong's recommendation. He hesitated for a while, finally calmed down, and added: "If your majesty has any doubts about this, You can send envoys to Chenliu to call the Great Sima back to the court, and you will know when you ask."

Liu Xie took this very seriously, picked up the calligraphy on the dragon case, and swiped the pen.

"Okay, I will immediately issue a decree to summon Da Sima back to the court."
