Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 113 My Lord, You Are Too Good to the Common People
royal palace.

Yuan Shao came to give Liu Xie a routine inspection and training.

The main task was to check Liu Xie's memorization of his daily notes and whether his words and deeds were consistent with those of the emperor. By the way, Liu Xie was also given a detailed introduction to his identity, life, etc., as well as the emperor's close ministers.

Especially the situation of Empress Fu and some concubines in the harem is extremely detailed.

Yuan Shao would come in person every time for such routine inspections and training, and he would not feel at ease even if he handed it over to Ju Shou.

"Just focus on playing the role of the emperor. You will definitely enjoy wealth and glory. In the future, you may even be made Duke of Anle." Before Yuan Shao got up and left the palace, he painted another pie for Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Yuan Shao with a grateful look, "Your Excellency has allowed me to live in a big house, eat meat every day, and even found me a wife. I am deeply grateful. Only by conscientiously playing the role of the emperor can I live up to your grace."

Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Liu Xie's attitude, but when he saw his tears coming out of nowhere, he felt uncomfortable.

He recalled the scene when Lü Bu met him that day, howling loudly while holding the imperial seal. He did not have the dignity of an emperor at all. He could not help but scold him:
"As a man, how can you shed tears easily? You must remember that you are the emperor now, not a refugee! When ministers come to see you in the future, how can you be an emperor if you cry so much?"

Liu Xie seemed to be frightened by Yuan Shao. His face turned pale and he said timidly, "Yes, yes, my Excellency has taught me a lesson. I will never dare to do it again."

"Don't be too careful. The emperor should have the dignity of an emperor." Yuan Shao said, and then he took back the step he was about to take. As if he had thought of something, he turned around and asked, "Just now you said that Zhen Mi's second brother passed away?"

Liu Xie nodded quickly.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "Since my brother has passed away, it is reasonable for Zhen Mi to go back to pay her respects."

Liu Xie sneered in his heart when he heard this.

There were many concubines in the harem who were unable to go back to pay their respects when their family members died.

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. This is no joke.

Not to mention the death of a brother, what if both parents died?

Yuan Shao took the initiative to suggest that Zhen Mi return home to pay her respects, obviously with the intention of befriending the Zhen family.

"I will tell Lady Zhen that the general heard that the second son of the Zhen family had passed away and came to ask for permission. I hope that I will allow her to go home to pay her respects."

Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Xie sideways. This lowly man was really good at flattering and taking advantage of every opportunity. Even none of the counselors under his command could do it.

Although he despised Liu Xie in his heart, he was very satisfied with his approach.

If he didn't let Zhen Mi know that it was his credit that she was able to go home to mourn her brother, how could he make Zhen Mi feel his kindness?
Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said, "By the way, issue an imperial edict. Don't be stingy with the various rewards. I will ask Gong Yu to send the drafted imperial edict to you, and you can give it to him."

Liu Xie responded respectfully with a humble and respectful attitude.

Yuan Shao glanced at the table and suddenly asked, "Where is the imperial seal?"

Liu Xie quickly replied, "My Lord, the seal is precious. I was afraid of losing it, so I hid it in my bedroom. Please wait a moment, I will go get it right away."

After saying this, Liu Xie trotted out of the hall and returned soon with the imperial seal.

"Mingsir, the imperial seal is here."

Liu Xie held the imperial seal in both hands and presented it to Yuan Shao, saying breathlessly.

There was a flattering smile on his face.

Yuan Shao said nothing more. He reached out to take the wooden box and took out the imperial seal from it.

The imperial seal is square and glittering.

For hundreds of years, it has been given a special meaning.

To evaluate whether an emperor came to the throne legitimately or not, regardless of other factors, the first thing to look at is whether he has the imperial seal.

Without the imperial seal, do you still dare to say that your throne is appointed by heaven?

Yuan Shao held it in his hand and stared at it intently, without moving his eyes away from it for a long time.

"My lord, this jade seal is really beautiful, more beautiful than gold and jewelry." Liu Xie sighed in a pretentious manner.

When Yuan Shao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and his expression almost couldn't hold.

How can gold and jewelry be compared with the imperial seal?
This untouchable really has no knowledge at all.

Putting the imperial seal back into the wooden box, Yuan Shao said, "I will temporarily leave the imperial seal to you for safekeeping. If there is any bump or damage... humph!"

He really wanted to take the seal home, as just looking at it every day would make him happy both physically and mentally.

But he was also worried that if it was accidentally seen by someone at home, it would have a bad impact if the news got out, and he didn't want to take the risk.

The emperor is his puppet anyway, so it makes no difference whether the imperial seal is placed in his mansion or in the palace.

Liu Xie waved his hands in fear and said, "Please take the seal away, my lord. I dare not keep it. This is a priceless imperial seal. If it is damaged, I cannot afford to pay for it even if I sell myself."

Priceless?
The value and significance of the imperial seal cannot be compared to a few cities. The common people are just the common people, and their imagination can only go so far.

Yuan Shao looked down on Liu Xie in his heart, but he would not lower himself to the level of someone like him.

He said coldly: "This is a task assigned to you, you must complete it. If there is any bump, you are the only one who will be held responsible."

Liu Xie quickly shut up and carefully held the jade seal in his arms, fearing that it would be bumped or scratched.

Yuan Shao shook his head and changed the subject, "The day before yesterday in the hall, except for crying loudly, which was not like the emperor, your other responses were very good. It seems that you will be able to adapt to the status of the emperor soon."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie immediately became serious and said in a serious tone: "What are you talking about, my lord? The status of the emperor is just a facade. I am your soldier wherever I go... no, I am your man!" "As Lu Bu said, there is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two masters for the people. My lord will always be the sun in my heart!"

Yuan Shao laughed heartily and patted Liu Xie on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Not bad. Work hard for me and I will ensure that you will live a life of wealth and glory. Tell me what reward you want this time. Beauty or gold and silver treasures?"

Liu Xie's eyes were filled with ecstasy and his face showed anticipation, "I heard that Diao Chan is the most beautiful woman in the world..."

Yuan Shao's face darkened instantly.

Good boy, you are actually thinking about Diao Chan.

Back then, Lu Fengxian killed Dong Zhuo for Diao Chan.

If he dared to ask Lu Bu for Diao Chan, Lu Bu would lead his troops to attack him the next day.

Yuan Shao said in a stiff tone: "Diao Chan is the concubine of General Huqi. Change her."

Liu Xie scratched his head, as if thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I have heard that the two Qiao sisters from Jiangbei are as beautiful as flowers and as charming as the gods."

Yuan Shao had heard of the reputation of the two Qiao sisters from Jiangbei even in Yecheng.

He nodded and said, "Then draft an imperial decree to order the two Qiao sisters to serve in the palace."

The more greedy and lustful Liu Xie was, the more at ease Yuan Shao felt.

Such a greedy and lustful person, in order to keep the existing gold, silver and beauties, will definitely work harder for him, will play the role of the emperor more carefully, and will not dare to make any mistakes.

"Ming Gong, you are too kind to the common people."

Liu Xie was moved to tears.

This time, he truly thanked Yuan Shao from the bottom of his heart, without any act at all.

After crossing over, except for the first few days of suffering, I followed Boss Yuan and lived in a big villa, served by servants, and embraced by the goddess Luo.

The second Qiao of Jiangbei, he originally just said it casually to strengthen his character of being greedy and lustful.

But I didn’t expect that Boss Yuan actually agreed.

If you meet such a good boss, you will do your best to help him play the role of the emperor.

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Xie who was so moved that he burst into tears, and smiled with relief.

"You understand the principle of repaying kindness, and it is worth my cultivation of you. I heard that Lu Bu came to the palace to look for you the day before yesterday. What did he say to you? Why did he look so happy when he left the palace?"

Liu Xie said calmly, "Lü Bu said he wanted to send his daughter to the palace as my concubine. I couldn't refuse him. I haven't had time to report this to you yet."

Yuan Shao thought to himself, is it hard for you to refuse? You clearly don't want to refuse!

But this Lu Bu actually has some brains.

Unfortunately, the person he was flattering was not the real emperor, but just a puppet.

"besides……"

Liu Xie showed hesitation as he spoke, as if he was a little hesitant to say it.

Yuan Shao frowned, "What else did you say besides that? Tell me everything!"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Lü Bu also said a lot of bad things about you. He said that you are a traitor who dared to reward officials on behalf of the emperor. He was just as treacherous as Yuan Shu."

After saying this, Liu Xie seemed very scared. He lowered his head and dared not look at Yuan Shao, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

"This traitorous slave..."

There was no trace of anger on Yuan Shao's face.

It would be strange if Lu Bu didn't scold him.

"How dare you, Lu Bu, refuse my invitation. Now you want to send your daughter to the palace to become a royal relative. Little do you know that the emperor your daughter serves is a refugee whose status is even lower than yours!"

Yuan Shao was in a very good mood, with the corners of his mouth raised in a playful smile.

"In the future, if Lü Bu or Liu Bei meet you alone, or write you any letters in private, you must report to me immediately."

"I know!" Liu Xie vowed and patted his chest loudly.

After Yuan Shao gave a few more instructions, he left.

……

Outside the palace, in a carriage.

Yuan Shao said to Ju Su, who had been waiting in the carriage, "Zhen Yan, the second son of the Zhen family, has died. You should draft an imperial edict and send it to the palace to posthumously confer the title of Tinghou on Zhen Yan. Other rewards should also be generous."

Ju Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "The eldest son of the Zhen family died early, and the second son Zhen Yan has been the head of the family for many years. Now that Zhen Yan is dead, the Zhen family is left with only a young child. It is in a state of lack of successors."

"The Zhen family's huge fortune, if planned properly, can help the lord achieve hegemony!"

There was a smile in Yuan Shao's eyes. Naturally, he wanted to take a bite of such a big piece of fat meat as Zhen's.
