Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 32 The Son of Heaven's Hole Card

[Liu Ying usually looks like an exquisite doll. Every move he makes perfectly follows the etiquette of the Tian family, but he rarely shows his true emotions.

[You talk to her about imprisonment and possible death, but she doesn't seem to care at all. Only her brother Liu Xie can make her have some emotional fluctuations. 】

[As an unidentified guy, your biggest problem is how to get close to Liu Ying and make her trust you. 】

【伱Decision】

[[-]. Come visit Liu Ying often from now on. 】

[[-]. Take Liu Ying away from Yuntai now. 】

[[-]. Wait patiently for the opportunity. 】

【[-]. Free Simulation】

Xu Jiashu looked at the three options. They all seemed too normal, and there were almost no actions that could be ruled out at a glance.

Option one seems to be a very reasonable development. If the other party is an ordinary girl staying at home, Xu Jiashu is confident that this will be effective based on his beauty (?).

But it is obvious that Liu Ying is not an ordinary person. Long-term imprisonment can easily make people lose enthusiasm for life. People who are so indifferent to life and death have little confidence in getting her even if they often come to Yuntai to chat with her at the risk of being discovered by Li Ru. of trust.

As for option two, even if Sima Jiademen did not dare to stop himself, the "secret envoy" sent by Li Ru, there would be no way to resettle Liu Ying in the future, and it would only serve as a warning.

Well, let's just wait and see what happens.
[You tell Liu Ying that the emperor is safe now and ask her not to give up hope. 】

[After you returned, you devoted all your energy to making a new version of the Stone Scripture. Occasionally when you went to Nangong to find Cai Yong, you would take a special look at the roof of Yuntai Pavilion, but you never saw the man leaning on the railing looking out into the distance. figure. 】

It seems that Liu Bian's death really hit her hard.
Xu Jiashu could only lament that Liu Hong was really nothing. He had only played for a lifetime, but after his death, his favorite concubine, Queen He, and his eldest son all died unexpectedly, leaving only his daughter and youngest son in the family, who were still alive. By yourself, what a disgrace in the world!
[You found that Cai Yan would come to see you occasionally, but you were too busy and had no time to spend with her, so she had to leave muttering. 】

[Finally, with your hard work day and night, the new version of the Stone Classic was quickly completed. As the biggest contributor, Cai Yong recommended you to the young emperor. You were named a doctor and responsible for teaching Liu Xie calligraphy, also known as Secretary Lang. 】

[The opportunity you have been waiting for has finally come. 】

At this time, the scene changed, and Xu Jiashu's spirit was greatly boosted.

Liu Xie doesn't look like an eight-year-old child.

Boys of this age are generally hard to please. There is a saying that goes, "Qibajiu, a dog is disgusted with death." This means that when a boy in his [-]s or [-]s sees a dog, he will shake his head.

But after seeing Liu Xie with his own eyes, Xu Jiashu began to understand why so many courtiers were willing to follow this little emperor to cause trouble, even at the expense of their lives and wealth, even though it was Cao Cao who conquered the country.

Since Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, the emperors of the Han family have consciously tended to favor small families when marrying, so as to prevent the influence of their relatives from becoming too powerful.

And doing so also brought another benefit: the appearance of the concubines began to be maintained at a very high level.Generations of genetic engineering have created Liu Xie's good looks.

As the saying goes, he is as thorough as discussing, as thorough as studying, and he behaves like a gentleman even at a young age.

Even when Mencius came, he would boast, "It looks like he is the emperor's material!" and then move on to King Liang Xiang.

Moreover, Liu Xie was raised by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong, since he was a child. With the protection of Changle Palace, he would basically not encounter the bad things in the harem. He was also the only child among the three siblings to receive all the father's love from Liu Hong. This makes him mentally sound.

Although he is not as "holy, virtuous, wise and thoughtful" as the scholars boasted, he is at least a good kid who is smart, alert and articulate.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Princess Wannian?" Xu Jiashu quietly wrote this sentence on the paper while teaching Liu Xie calligraphy.

The little emperor reacted quickly, raised his head, exchanged glances with Xu Jiashu, and used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He waved his hand and pretended to accidentally knock over the inkstone, and successfully pushed away the attendants on the side.

"Mr. Xu knows my sister?" After the others left, Liu Xie grabbed Xu Jiashu's sleeve, glanced around, and asked in a low voice, "Where is she now?"

"Being placed under house arrest in Yuntai," Xu Jiashu opened his lips slightly and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that the walls would have ears. "Is there any way for your majesty to rescue the princess?"

The little emperor clenched his fists, not knowing whether to believe what Mr. Xu said.

Ever since his brother Liu Bian was killed, he had been living in fear all day long, and Dong Zhuo's method of controlling him included not only fear but also threats.

Just fear may not be enough.

You know, if an 8-year-old boy gets hot, he might not be afraid of death. As the only orthodox emperor who was supported by himself, the Xiliang army cannot be stupid enough to actually kill the reigning Liu Xie. .

In order to deal with this situation, Princess Wannian became another means to make Liu Xie obedient - she had never had any sense of existence. Except for Liu Xie, no one seemed to care about her safety. The only eunuchs who were close to the princess also Dead long ago, completely alone and helpless.

I have to say, he is indeed an excellent hostage.

Now that he suddenly had the opportunity to rescue his sister, the little emperor fell into hesitation.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and the attendant who replaced the inkstone was about to return. When his only relative was involved, Liu Xie finally made up his mind to entrust his most important trump card to Xu Jiashu.

"Sir, please go find Sun Rui, the gold guard, and I will let him see you."

After saying that, Liu Xie immediately returned to being a humble and studious good boy, copying calligraphy without distraction, as if he had never said those words.

He is really a born political animal, there is something in the old Liu family.

[At the end of the first teaching, the emperor is very fond of you. Since you have just been promoted to doctor, he can only give you a jade pendant to show his honor.]

[Not long after, Shi Sunrui successfully connected with you]

Shi Sunrui was the most important member of the Emperor's party, even more important than Xun Shuang and Yang Biao, who were already ranked third. The reason was very simple. He had military power, and it was the military power in Luoyang City.

The original name of Zhijinwu was Lieutenant, and it was originally an important military position with jurisdiction over the entire Sili Gyeonggi Province. It was at this time that Emperor Guangwu said that "official officials should be treated as Zhijinwu, and wives should be treated as Yinlihua."

Since then, Zhi Jinwu's powers have been continuously reduced by various newly added captains, and he has lost the military power of the Northern Army and the Third Auxiliary. Gradually, he has become an official dedicated to preventing theft and security and fire fighting in the outer city of Luoyang.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, the direct superior of the Langguan officers was Guang Luxun, and the guards in the palace were in charge of the Weiwei. The guards of the North and South Palaces and the Sima of each palace gate were all commanded by the Weiwei. The traditional sphere of influence was also taken away by the specialized city gate captain.

At this time, Zhi Jinwu held the military position of "the very important thing in charge of the outer precepts of the palace". If you break it down carefully, the direct force in Shisun Rui's hands was only a mere 200 cavalry, responsible for guarding Luoyang's arsenal and fire prevention. , and also to clear the way in front when the emperor travels.

To put it bluntly, it is a fire brigade.

It was indeed very shabby, but it was already the only armed force that the young emperor could control. In the future career of the emperor, he could no longer control an army and could only carry out clothing and belt edicts. plot.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it Liu Xie's trump card.

[You and Shi Sunrui make a plan together]
