I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 The Old Man Gives His Majesty a Bath
Under the service of Gong'e, Liu Xie walked into the hot spring pool in a daze.

As his face turned red, he showed a comfortable expression, leaned against the smooth pool and closed his eyes without a teacher, and let out a sigh of enjoyment: "Father, you really know how to enjoy..."

At this moment, the heavy curtain outside the bathroom was thrown open violently, and a gust of biting cold wind gushed in.Liu Xie, who was soaking naked in the pool, shivered from the cold, completely unaware of what happened.

He turned his head and saw Old Dong in a bathrobe, and when he walked in with a big smile, his face turned pale: "Tai, Taiwei... why did you come in too?"

"The old man said that he wanted to take a bath with His Majesty, how can he miss the appointment?"

"One, one piece?" Liu Xie collapsed instantly: "One piece" does not refer to time, but... space?
Old Dong was not shy at all, as if he had come to his own home, he untied his bathrobe at ease, threw it to Gong'e, who was serving at the side, and said, "You all go out first, and let the old man rub His Majesty's back."

Liu Xie was about to go crazy at that time, looking at the greasy fat body, he felt strongly mentally tortured: "Tai, Taiwei, don't you have to be so frank?"

"Otherwise, how can we show the old minister's utter loyalty to His Majesty?" Old Dong laughed, approaching Liu Xie step by step like a villain who bullies the women of the people.

"Your Majesty, since the old man Mangshan rescued you, we haven't had a good heart-to-heart relationship with the monarch and his ministers. Today, I will take this opportunity to confide my heart to my heart and deepen our relationship."

Liu Xie's eyes widened in surprise, his mind went blank.

He watched in a daze as Old Dong moved his hands and feet, and then with a graceful diving movement, he suddenly jumped into the big pool, splashing water all over his face.

The water overflowed the pool, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty felt like a lone boat on the sea, swinging with the waves, and might capsize at any time...

Old Dong, like a hippopotamus that had been thirsty for two months, finally found the water source, popped his head out, rubbed the hot water on his face, and then let out a comfortable sigh.

Seeing the snacks and drinks left by the maid by the pool, she unceremoniously picked them up and took a sip into her mouth, feeling extremely satisfied: "Your Majesty, you are welcome... The purpose of taking a bath is to relax physically and mentally, so there is no need to be so restrained."

"I, I... don't be restrained. Tai, Taiwei is happy, as long as he is happy..."

Liu Xie couldn't speak at all, he clutched his chest with a frightened look on his face, not knowing what evil he, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had done to suffer such inhuman torture.

Fortunately, as the water waves stabilized, the wandering mind finally returned, and suddenly remembered something: "Taiwei, what time is this, you are still so... so indifferent!"

Originally, I wanted to say 'heartless', but seeing that Lao Dong's body size is enough to match five of his own, and there is only a bathroom for two people left.Before the words came out, they were a little more tactful.

Who knows that Old Dong seems to be a little dissatisfied, lazily opened his eyes and said: "What's the use of being anxious?...Your Majesty, no matter whether you are doing important things or taking a big bath, you can't be impatient. You have to wait until your body is well soaked before you can wash it." Get down to the mud."

Liu Xie couldn't help showing a disgusted expression immediately, and said: "I bathe every day, there is no mud on my body..."

"This old man is just giving an example." Old Dong replied lightly, not caring about these details.

In Liu Xie's waiting eyes, after soaking comfortably for a while, he turned his head and looked at the ten-year-old emperor of the Han Dynasty through the slowly rising mist: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the old minister?"

When asked this question suddenly, Liu Xie was not mentally prepared.

Old Dong then continued to remind, saying: "Your Majesty thinks that this old man is the rebellious thief who those guys in the Kanto said took advantage of provocations, ruined the country, and overwhelmed the world?"

"Zhen, Zhen..." At this time, Liu Xie's immature face showed a look different from his age, and after hesitating for a moment, he said seriously: "I don't think so."

"Residing deep in the inner palace, I actually don't know what the Taiwei has done, and I don't know whether it is beneficial to the country. But I do understand the simplest truth."

"What's the point?" Old Dong ate some more, and handed some to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie also gradually relaxed, chewing candied fruit and said vaguely: "To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness."

"So, His Majesty thinks this old man is a benevolent person?"

"That's right." Liu Xie nodded and said, "Maybe the Taiwei didn't care, but he did it unintentionally or casually. But I know that since the Taiwei entered Luoyang, I don't have to worry about dying at the hands of the He family any more. .”

Old Dong was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty's mother was poisoned at birth. Although she was sheltered by the Empress Dowager Dong, her life is miserable, and it is inevitable that she will worry about the danger."

"Afterwards, the first emperor died of illness, so General He Jin made Liu Bian emperor. Empress Dowager Dong failed in this political struggle, and soon became ill and died of fear."

"At that time, His Majesty must have been worried to the core. Then the old man led his troops into Luoyang, established His Majesty as Emperor, and uprooted the power of the He family, so that His Majesty's life was no longer in danger."

"That's right." Liu Xie nodded, grabbed another handful of candied fruit, and handed half of it to Old Dong: "Compared to those courtiers who are meticulous all day long in the outer dynasty, I actually have more heart for the Taiwei... "

At this point, he suddenly became anxious: "But today those courtiers... No, those Guandong scholars are going to lead their troops to attack the Taiwei!"

"The courtiers are still speaking for the Kwantung scholars one by one, why didn't the Taiwei respond at all?"

"Because... the old man is fishing."

"Fishing?" Liu Xie was puzzled, looked at the hot spring pool in front of him, and said, "Could there be fish here?"

"Of course." Old Dong smiled, looked at Liu Xie who had put down his guard, and said, "Your Majesty, this golden dragon fish has already been caught by the old man at this time?"

"Zhen, Arowana?..." Liu Xie somewhat understood, but didn't fully understand, and said, "Could it be that the Taiwei is learning from Weiyang's Jiang Taigong?"

"Almost, but the old man is much smarter than him. After all, he is eating two fish." Without waiting for Liu Xie to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "Since His Majesty has no ill feeling towards the old man, there is no need to hide it."

Liu Xie concentrated his attention, ready to listen.

Unexpectedly, Old Dong stood up in front of him, crawled out of the bath with pouted buttocks, and said, "It's almost done, do you want to steam together?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the sauna room beside him.

Liu Xie was startled, and once again his mind went blank: there is no need to hide it, so that's what it means? ! ...I read a lot, why are you still lying to me!
Unexpectedly, Old Dong showed regret on his face, and wrapped himself in a bathrobe sullenly: "Since His Majesty doesn't want to go, I can only talk here."

Liu Xie was no longer in the mood to listen.

Unexpectedly, Old Dong then said: "Your Majesty, you still don't realize the seriousness of the matter. Those courtiers who are dignified don't care about your life and death, what they want more is to let the old man die without a place to bury him!"

"Tai, Taiwei...is it serious?"

Liu Xie had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the court today, and it was meant to be aimed at the old Dong, but he never thought that he would be involved in it.

The long-lost fear of being precarious suddenly struck his heart again, making his face turn pale and trembling uncontrollably even after soaking in the hot spring.

Old Dong didn't feel distressed, and continued to say coldly and ruthlessly: "Your Majesty carefully pondered Qiao Mao's statement, did you ever feel something wrong?"

"Zhen, Zhen..." Clenching his fists to force himself to calm down, Liu Xie recalled the content of the call-out, and said, "Tong, the whole article scolded the Taiwei very badly, but did not mention Zhen..."

"It's not mentioned, that's the key!" Old Dong sat down, raised Erlang's legs and squinted his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, is Qiao Mao a fraudulent call to move the book and publish it?"

"Teacher Yuan Kui, Situ Huang Wan and Sikong Xun Shuang."

"That's right." Old Dong nodded, and asked again: "Have you ever thought about it, why are these people's documents, why don't you forge His Majesty's secret order?"

"Since we want to attack the rebellious officials like this old man, and say that His Majesty is being threatened...then, under the guise of His Majesty, shouldn't it be more appealing?"

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, and immediately tilted his body, seeing that he was about to drown in the hot spring pool.

Fortunately, the quick-sighted old Dong stretched out his hand, pulled him out and shook his head, "Your Majesty, you must eat something before taking a bath, otherwise you will get dizzy easily..."

Liu Xie, who seemed dizzy but not dizzy, only gave him a resentful look: "Zhen, I was clearly fainted by you..."

At that time, Old Dong was happy when he sucked his teeth, and said with a smile: "Hahaha... Soaking in the bath is really good for your physical and mental health. Your Majesty, you have learned to be humorous."

　Thank you for your half-dream, half-awake, and half-life support.
