Chapter 208
Even Liu Xie heard from the maids that Dong Zhuo had thought of killing King Hongnong and the Queen Mother.
And now Li Ru is so blatantly provocative, it is obviously not giving him face at all!
How can this keep him from getting angry!
"Your Majesty calm down, Mr. Xiangguo said, you just need to make a choice, you don't need to be angry!" Li Ru said with a smile: "If Your Majesty refuses to agree, then I don't have to do anything more."
Liu Xie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
At this moment, he wished to kill Li Ru, but he knew that killing Li Ru now would not do him any good.
On the contrary, it will let Dong Zhuo destroy himself!At that time, you will really lose everything!
This made Liu Xie feel aggrieved. He really wanted to kill Li Ru in front of him, but he finally compromised and said, "Okay, I agree!"
Faced with Li Ru's behavior, he had no choice but to let it go.
"Haha, the minister will first thank His Majesty on behalf of Xiangguo."
When Li Ru heard Liu Xie agreed, he laughed, cupped his hands, turned and left.
After he left, Liu Xie hurried back to the main hall, grabbed a bottle and threw it on the ground fiercely, cursing: "You dog thief, I will never forgive you easily!"
"All have to die!!!"
"Rebellious ministers and thieves must die for me!!!"
After Liu Xie calmed down a little, he came to the bed behind the screen and looked at Yu Ji, stretched out his hand to hold her slender hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yu Ji, I won't let anyone take her with you." Go, unless you step over my dead body!"
"I understand that I will always follow Your Majesty!" Yu Ji said with tears in her eyes and was extremely moved.
Of course she knew what Liu Xie meant, this was Liu Xie's superficial attitude towards her.
And her crying was not just for moving, but also for Liu Xie.
As the Son of Heaven, he is now living a life like a prisoner.
He was supposed to control all major events in the world, but he could only become Dong Zhuo's puppet.
If there is no great rise, where will the great fall come from?
It is precisely because Liu Xie's position is already extremely high, and it is even more embarrassing to end up like this now.
"Oh, Yuji, I have wronged you." Liu Xie sighed, feeling even more uncomfortable.
In today's world, the only one who can truly dedicate everything to him is the woman in front of him.
Yuji smiled weakly and said, "I am already very happy to be able to serve His Majesty."
"it is good."
Liu Xie nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to embrace Yuji into his arms, and said: "Yuji, I will definitely give you happiness for a lifetime."
……
After Li Ru returned to Xiangguo's mansion, he immediately summoned many staff members to discuss with Dong Zhuo.
Soon, an imperial decree spread throughout the entire city of Chang'an, and ten days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a ceremony to worship heaven was held in the main hall of the Xiangguo Mansion!
As soon as the news came out, all the civil and military officers in Chang'an City were shocked, not only those civil and military officials, but even the common people were stunned.
It's almost impossible!
As a thug, Dong Zhuo only knew how to burn, kill and loot the surrounding people every day. It was impossible to do such a thing as offering sacrifices to heaven, let alone hold it in Xiangguo Mansion.
But this news is undoubtedly true, because it is an imperial edict promulgated by the imperial court!
And Dong Zhuo's goal is very clear, it is Liu Xie!
After all, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is something only the emperor can do, and the location is in Xiangguo Mansion, so it's hard for people not to think about it!
……
"His Majesty!"
In the palace, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, Wang Yun and others rushed to Liu Xie's place with solemn expressions.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Xie frowned.
These people are all his trusted courtiers, and now they ran over together. Aren't they afraid of Dong Zhuo's suspicion?
Dong Cheng directly knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is very ambitious. He actually intends to hold a ceremony to worship heaven in the Prime Minister's Mansion this time. You must not go there!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! If you go, you will be announcing to the world that you agree with this matter, which will make all the scholars in the world lose their faith in Your Majesty!" Yang Biao also leaned over and said.
Liu Xie looked at Wang Yun who didn't open his mouth, was silent for a moment, and said: "I know, I don't intend to really go, but this matter is not something I can decide."
Yang Biao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, since His Majesty is unwilling to go, it is normal that His Majesty is ill and unable to attend when the sacrificial ceremony is held that day."
"No!" Liu Xie said anxiously.
Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, Wang Yun and others were all stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Xie in puzzlement.
This is a feasible strategy. If Liu Xie had some serious illness at that time, such as a recurrence of an old illness, it would be normal for him to be unable to walk after healed up.
It is a plausible reason, and I don't know why His Majesty is so eager to deny it.
Liu Xie took a deep breath and said: "Li Ru came to the palace earlier and said that if I don't cooperate with them, I will abolish the establishment again. It seems that I have made my words clear, and I don't see the slightest thing in my eyes!"
"And if I don't go, I'm afraid even if I hide in the palace, I still can't escape Dong Zhuo's claws." Liu Xie struggled, but finally said firmly: "Don't forget, when Dong Zhuo attacked Luoyang, He once laid a poisonous hand on King Hongnong."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"what?!"
"He is a scholar, but Dong Zhuo raised a vicious dog, how dare he do that?!"
"Pimp! Puff! How dare you humiliate His Majesty like this!!!"
When the three of them heard this, their beards trembled and their fingers trembled in anger. Dong Cheng, in particular, jumped up angrily and shouted: "Since ancient times, kings have humiliated ministers to death! Your Majesty is suffering such a great humiliation today, and I can't do it." To avenge His Majesty, today I will crash and die here!!!"
As he said that, he was about to bump into the pillar beside him.
When Wang Yun and Yang Biao saw this, they were so frightened that they immediately pulled him back.
"Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo! Don't be arrogant! Don't be arrogant!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Guo, there is something to discuss, we don't have the same knowledge as those ordinary people!"
The two of them quickly comforted each other.
Dong Cheng stared at the words, and shouted: "Not only did you two not die with me, but you also blocked me. What's the reason? Are you not His Majesty's ministers? Your Majesty has suffered such a great humiliation, we I should repay you, but there is nothing I can do, I can only apologize with death! Are you even trying to stop me?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two of them turned black.
Good guy, let alone wanting to die, they managed to hold them back, but this guy actually wanted to drag them to die together?
Is there such a thing in the world?
