Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 589 The Emperor’s Invitation
The fusion progress of the fifth martial spirit has stalled, which means that everyone in the Yanyu Guard has reached their limit.

It doesn't make much sense for Zhang Wu to stay here and supervise them.

Rather than staying here and wasting time, it's better to go out and enjoy life.

Just when Zhang Wu was about to leave Zhengyang Gate with his two children in his arms, he was suddenly caught up by someone from the first palace and intercepted in front of him.

"General, I'm sorry, but the villain is the little yellow gate next to the emperor. The emperor knew that the general was training troops here, so he specially invited the general to talk about it."

"Liu Xie?" Zhang Wu turned his head slightly and saw Liu Xie standing against the wind on the city wall.

At the same time, Liu Xie nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Lead the way."

Zhang Wu picked up Zhang Xiao and Zhang Rui on his shoulders one by one, and followed the palace people slowly up the city wall.

In fact, it was quite difficult for Zhang Wu to get this point.

He didn't quite understand why people in high positions liked to climb high and look far. Cao Cao is like this, Liu Xie is like this.

It's as if not standing tall is not enough to demonstrate their power.

"Meet the Emperor."

Zhang Wu said he was bowing again, but he neither lowered his head nor bowed, he was just bowing with his mouth.

Liu Xie didn't mind either. He stroked his sleeves lightly and waved his hand and said, "The general has never followed etiquette. If you follow your heart, why do you need to bow?"

It was clearly a joke, but Zhang Wu miraculously heard some admiration in it.

This is very strange.

Could it be that Liu Xie has changed his gender?

No, it's not that Liu Xie has changed his gender, but that this guy has become a little more free and easy after completely giving up his attachment to the Han Dynasty.

It is true that time flies like an arrow.

When Zhang Wu first met Liu Xie, he was just a young child who was held hostage by Dong Zhuo and had a thorn in his back.

Now Zhang Wu is the father of two children, and Liu Xie has also grown up.

He really has some magnanimity that belongs to an emperor.

Now that the words had been spoken, Zhang Wu was not polite. He picked up the warm tea that the palace servants had prepared for Liu Xie and poured two sips into his mouth: "What are the emperor's orders when he goes to the city to send troops to the city? You have to say it first. I am only responsible for listening. I won’t really do anything for you.”

"Hahaha, the general is joking. I just want to take another look at Chang'an City and see the glory of the Han Dynasty. It's boring to be alone here. I'm looking for someone interesting to relieve my boredom."

Interesting person?

Zhang Wu felt a slight pain.

This Liu Xie might have forgotten how he scared Wang Yue half to death when he killed him with his sword.

Or is it that the little emperor really thought that Zhang Wuti was done with the knife?

"From what you say, do you plan to stay in Chang'an?"

Liu Xie nodded: "Chang'an is the former capital of Emperor Gaozu, not the former capital of Guangwu. I have sent someone to inform the King of Wei and send me back to Luoyang."

Luoyang was burned to the ground and is still being repaired and rebuilt. It is obviously not a good place to go.

But that was the real place of Longxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is the home recognized by all Guangwu descendants.

Liu Xie's presence in Chang'an and Luoyang symbolize two completely different meanings.

"Father-in-law agrees?"

Liu Xie got angry and asked: "Why doesn't King Wei agree? In three months, he will be the new emperor of this great country. It is better to send me away if I am an eyesore. In this way, Everyone is happy to be here, aren't they? "Why does the general look at me like this?"

Zhang Wu looked back and curled his lips slightly: "Listen to this, is the emperor ready to abdicate?"

Liu Xie slowly walked to the top of the city, stood on the city wall and looked into the distance: "Do you know? Since I was born, there has never been a moment where I have been more relaxed than now. Now that I think about it, there is no need for all the things I did in the past. With that, No matter how hard I try, I can't save this world that is rotten to the core, right?"

"Look at the world today. The people live in peace and harmony. Isn't that enough? Why should the emperor of Han be named Liu for generations because of his surname?"

"Personal likes and dislikes aside, at least as far as the world is concerned, King Wei is indeed more suitable to be the co-ruler of the world than me."

The Eastern Han Dynasty flourished because of aristocratic families.

He was defeated because of his family.

But now there are less than ten survivors of aristocratic families in the world, and even those who have escaped are hiding in corners and trembling, and they will no longer be as prosperous as the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the Han Dynasty also completely lost hope of making a comeback.

Even when Wang Lang and others jointly asked Liu Xie to take charge of the court, when Liu Xie refused, they had already thought of what would happen today.

In other words, Liu Xie had already foreseen today's end when Liu Bei, who was living in Huainan, was defeated and crowned.

Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment: "It's fine for the emperor to make his own decision on this kind of matter, why should Wu listen to it?"

After a long silence, Liu Xie turned around and looked at Zhang Wu steadily:
"I have no friends. The so-called loyal ministers are only loyal to the Han Dynasty for 400 years. They may have hated me in their hearts. Maybe in their eyes, it was me who ruined the Han Dynasty for 400 years. But parting At this time, I feel a little depressed, and I just want to talk to you, my former close enemy."

That's right.

In Liu Xie's mind, even Cao Cao, who was about to become the new emperor, was not his number one enemy.

Although Cao Cao was domineering, he never bullied his superiors.

It was the man in front of him who was known as 'half of the Wei Dynasty', who was the traitor and traitor who truly shattered the last trace of dignity of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Wu raised his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's praise."

"It's just that I don't understand something, so I'd like to ask the general for advice."

"Oh? If the emperor has anything to do, feel free to ask, Wu Zhi will tell you everything."

"I just want to know why when the general was born, he did not join the Han Dynasty but chose the King of Wei who was not very noble."

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Liu Xie nodded hard.

If there was a general in the world who was good at fighting and could have reversed the decline of the Han Dynasty, there was no other choice except Zhang Wu.

Liu Xie still couldn't figure it out. With his ability, wouldn't it be better to choose the imperial court than choosing Cao Cao?
Zhang Wu thought for a moment and said: "In this case, I also want to ask the emperor something."

"You said."

"If the Han Dynasty regains control of the world, where will it be used as Wu's tomb?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Laughing till tears and snot ran down my nose.

Yes, for such an amazing and talented person, Liu Xie asked himself that he did not have the courage to completely trust him like Cao Cao.

Maybe he was already thinking about how to get rid of Zhang Wu before he could bring peace to the world.

After experiencing the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, he was like a frightened bird and could no longer trust anyone.

"Just because of that?"

"That's not entirely true. I'm trying to save trouble. After all, I want to bring peace to the world. It's definitely easier to help my father-in-law than to help you."
