Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 101 What a fake emperor! I am the emperor!

Yecheng, Imperial Palace.

Liu Xie was changing his clothes when he learned the news that Lu Bu had entered Yecheng.

Yuan Shao has instructed that when meeting Lu Bu today, we must not reveal any mistakes.

For this reason, Ju Su went to the palace specifically and gave Liu Xie a lot of instructions in person.

Liu Xie asked: "Has he entered the palace now?"

Eunuch: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wen and the general are outside the palace, waiting for your summons."

Liu Xie nodded absentmindedly.

He was both excited and nervous about Lu Bu's arrival.

The reason for his anticipation was naturally because he would be able to meet the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms. If he had the chance to subdue him, it would greatly improve his current situation.

He was worried that he would be exposed and his identity would be discovered by Lu Bu.

With the help of the palace maids, Liu Xie put on the cumbersome and heavy dragon robe and crown, then followed the eunuch to the front hall.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Liu Xie took a deep breath and put himself into the role.

The eunuch below shouted in a shrill voice: "General Yuan Shao and General Lu Bu are here to see you—"

The eunuch's words were passed down layer by layer.

Not long after, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu entered the hall with their respective men.

"See Your Majesty——!"

After entering the hall, everyone saluted Liu Xie immediately.

The scene was extremely shocking.

Liu Xie, sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart: the world belongs to him.

After calming down his excited mood, Liu Xie set his gaze on the tall and straight figure in the hall.

"Lu Bu!"

Although he had never seen Lu Bu before, it did not prevent him from recognizing him immediately from the crowd.

Lu Bu's burly figure, heroic appearance, and intimidating temperament make it seem as if the words "I am invincible" are written all over his face!

After taking a quick look, Liu Xie raised his arm and said with a smile, "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Everyone stood up and automatically stood on both sides according to the size of their official rank.

Lu Bu looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and recognized at a glance that this was the emperor of that year and was definitely not an impersonator appointed by Yuan Shao.

Although the emperor has grown up, some traces of five years ago can still be clearly seen.

Liu Xie, who had already prepared himself, looked at Lu Bu and made eye contact. His face was slightly moved, as if he was recalling the past. He said with emotion: "Marquis Wen, it has been five years since I left Chang'an. How have you been?"

The last time Lu Bu and Emperor Xian met was the year Dong Zhuo died.

It has been exactly five years now.

Emperor Xian was 11 years old that year.

"His Majesty……"

Lu Bu had mixed feelings.

Over the years, the people he relied on either wanted to use him or wanted to kill him, but who had ever sincerely asked him, "How are you?"
In a trance, Lu Bu recalled the time he spent in Chang'an.

That year he was preparing to go out of the city to fight against Li Jue and Guo Si. The young emperor was worried that he would be defeated and injured, and he looked at him as kindly as he does today.

As time goes by, the young emperor has now grown up.

But my concern for him remains the same.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I did not escort Your Majesty out of Chang'an that year. Please punish me!"

He was defeated in his fight against Li Jue and Guo Si, and fled Chang'an alone with a hundred cavalrymen without taking the emperor with him. He always felt bad about this.

Now that we meet, I suddenly feel guilty.

It was obvious that the young emperor trusted him so much.

Even when the emperor returned to Luoyang, he still asked him for help.

But his army was weak and short of food and fodder at the time, so he only sent the messenger back with a message that "the army has no food and cannot provide food."

Looking at the ashamed Lü Bu, Liu Xie, like an emperor, sighed heavily before saying, "Marquis Wen, why bother talking about the past? Besides, if it weren't for Marquis Wen, I wouldn't be able to survive. How can I blame you?"

It was not Lu Bu's fault that Chang'an fell.

If there had not been a rebellion in the city, Lu Bu would still have been able to defend Chang'an.

Of course, Liu Xie didn’t care whether Lu Bu was right or not, because he was not the emperor of Chang'an at that time.

All he had to do was say nice things.

Firstly, this was Yuan Shao's request, and secondly, he also wanted to try to see if he could make use of the Liu family's tradition and gain Lu Bu's loyalty.

"Your Majesty is merciful and magnanimous. I am not too frightened!" Lu Bu kowtowed heavily. He was deeply moved by the emperor's behavior towards him, and even his tiger eyes were filled with tears.

When Yuan Shao saw this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"How could this guy act so well?"

"Ju Shou had only been talking to him for ten days, yet he managed to deceive Lu Bu so easily."

Lu Bu had actually come into contact with the emperor and had spent quite a long time with him, so he was not as easily deceived as outsiders.

However, after being surprised, Yuan Shao was very happy in his heart. The better Liu Xie's acting skills were and the more realistic he played the emperor, the more he could deceive people and the more he could achieve his goal of making the fake look real.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wen defeated the traitor Yuan Shu. It is a day of celebration. You should not be so sad. You should celebrate for Marquis Wen." Yuan Shao said.

As he said this, he secretly winked at Liu Xie, indicating that he should get down to business.

Liu Xie received Yuan Shao's reminder and said with a smile: "General, you are right. Marquis Wen defeated the usurper emperor, conquered Shouchun, and captured Yuan Shu alive. This is a great achievement comparable to killing Dong Zhuo!"

Lu Bu glared at Yuan Shao, who had interrupted his conversation with His Majesty, and said solemnly, "As the saying goes, there can be no two suns in the sky, and no people can have two masters. Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Everyone has the right to kill him!"

"I obey the imperial edict and attack Yuan Shu. This is my duty as a subject!"

These words were spoken with such passion and righteousness.

Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Ju Shou and others were all silent.

Did Lu Bu, a warrior, also read Mencius?

It was really hard for them to imagine that such words actually came from Lu Bu's mouth.

You are a slave of three surnames!

Is this what you should say?

Liu Xie just felt that his whole body was unblocked and comfortable.

No wonder everyone likes to hear good words.

He showed a touched expression and wiped his tears with his little hands: "Wen Hou is truly a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

Seeing that the emperor was so excited, Lu Bu quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, I am here to present to you not only the traitor Yuan Shu, but also the imperial seal that he stole!"

As Lu Bu spoke, Liu Bei immediately followed suit and stepped forward, handing over the wooden box he had been holding in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the imperial seal is here."

"Present it quickly." Liu Xie looked excited.

The legendary imperial seal. Yuan Shao didn't need to give any instructions for this part. He just played it in his true colors to get the best effect.

That excited heart, the shaking hands, they don't need anyone to teach them.

When he opened the wooden box, he saw an exquisite jade seal.

One of the corners is inlaid with gold, so it must be real.

"Mandated by Heaven, may you live long and prosper..." Liu Xie's heart was burning with excitement. He carefully held this sacred artifact, a symbol of China's highest power, in his hands, stroking and examining it carefully.

Holding the imperial seal in his hand, he looked at the eight small seal characters.

At this moment, Liu Xie felt that the whole world was in his hands.

Before he got the imperial seal, he thought it was just a Heshi jade. Did he really think that a seal could command the world?
After obtaining the imperial seal, I am the emperor! What fake emperor?

I have received the mandate of Heaven, I am the emperor, and I am the master of the world.
