Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 10
Just as Dong Zhuo was still unable to touch the bottom line of the Han system, Liu Xie also did not dare to push Dong Zhuo a little bit.Since Fatty Dong finally gave out such nonsense excuses as wanting to chat, Liu Xie can only think that this is Fatty Dong's sincere request.

"You back down," Liu Xie turned around and told Leng Shouguang, "Remember, nothing happened tonight. The same is true for those servants."

"The villain knows." Leng Shouguang nodded silently under Liu Xie's solemn and persistent gaze, and bowed to leave.But at this moment, Dong Zhuo on the side took the initiative to say: "There are two guards outside the hall. They were injured by a certain family, but they didn't hurt their lives. Please ask the imperial doctor in the palace to treat them."

Liu Xie glanced at Dong Zhuo in surprise, unable to understand why Dong Zhuo would make such a disheartened show of favor, but he still didn't say much, just nodded to Leng Shouguang again, indicating that he would follow Dong Zhuo's words.

After Leng Shouguang left, Liu Xie didn't know what was going on in his head, but he clapped his hands again, and called an elderly palace lady to tell him: "Bring some pastries and delicacies, I want to chat with the Grand Master here. "After saying this, Liu Xie glanced at Dong Zhuo who was smelling of wine, and added: "Bring some more fine wine."

After Liu Xie finished this sentence, Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but lighten up slightly, as if he appreciated Liu Xie's pride in asking for wine.

Not long after, the maids shuttled back and forth, setting up a table of banquets.Afterwards, as Liu Xie waved his hand, these people retreated respectfully.Although their eyes were full of astonishment as if they had seen Halley's Comet hit the earth, under Fatty Dong's coercion, they all kept silent, thinking in their hearts that they were blind and had never seen such weird things as His Majesty drinking with the Grand Master. spectacle.

After sitting down, perhaps due to the aroma of the warm and fine wine, Liu Xie obviously felt that the delicate atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot - this kind of practice is the experience he learned when he was the director of the village committee. For idlers, especially drunk drunks, Liu Xie has always carried another bottle of Erguotou and drank with the drunk for a while, and chatted with him according to his wishes. Drunk to the ground.After waking up, most of the drunks were still full of praise for his young director.

Dong Zhuo came tonight obviously drunk and furious, and before that he and Leng Shouguang strongly reprimanded Dong Zhuo's arrogance.Although Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, there was definitely a fire in his heart.Right now, fighting poison with poison like this is a good way to allow for advance and retreat.

The wine warming stove burning fine charcoal produced in Luoyang Mountain quickly warmed the fine wine in the cauldron. Liu Xie carefully observed the charcoal sticks, and thought that people discovered coal in the Han Dynasty, but found that these were just wood to insulate the air. After pyrolysis out of charcoal sticks.This kind of charcoal has sufficient firepower and does not emit smoke, but compared with coal, the burning time is too short. It is a luxury for the upper class to light fire for heating, and it is difficult to be used for large-scale civilian promotion.

Liu Xie took the initiative to scoop a spoonful of wine into Dong Zhuo's wine bottle, and said, "Grand Master, how about the taste of the fine wine in the palace first?" The wine must be ten times more mellow than the fine wine in this palace.However, fortunately, a current emperor sat at the table with the current grand master, not for drinking at all.

"Please, Your Majesty first." Seeing Liu Xie's heart-to-heart attitude, Dong Zhuo also became more polite, and insisted on giving Liu Xie a spoonful.

Liu Xie knew that he didn't need to be too polite with people like Dong Zhuo, and the more he refused, the more annoyed he would be.So he was not polite, raised his neck and drank it all.There is not much feeling after the wine enters the throat. The alcohol content of this era is already very low. The ancients liked to warm up the wine when drinking.Therefore, after drinking a bottle of wine, Liu Xie didn't even blush.

Seeing that Liu Xie was so forthright at such a young age, he drank a bottle at a time, Dong Zhuo immediately became interested, and couldn't help but also drank it down with a smile.As the two of them poured a bottle of wine into their stomachs, the two of them became more relaxed. You pushed each other to respect each other. In the time of a stick of incense, the small half of the pot of fine wine had been drunk, and the conversation became even more carefree.

"Old Dong, it's hot and dry to drink like this. You don't know, someone in Shandong has invented Bitong Drink, which is to cut off the lotus leaves with stems in the lake, pierce the heart of the leaves with a hairpin, and make the puncture and hollow lotus The stems are connected. Then fill the big lotus leaves with white wine, then bend the hollow lotus stems into an elephant trunk shape, and drink from the end of the stems in turn. The aroma of the wine is wrapped in the fragrance of the lotus, and the fragrance is cool and delicious. It is really a great enjoyment. .” Liu Xie, who was already a little drunk, suddenly remembered that the ancient bitong drink was invented in the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms. Although it was obviously not the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not too many years away.

"Your Majesty, those scholar-bureaucrats have a lot of minds, and they can drink so many tricks. Our frontier soldiers always drink alcohol with their helmets full, and that's enough energy!" When Dong Zhuo said the word scholar-bureaucrat, his eyes flashed very clearly. disgust.He was already half-drunk when he came, and he drank a lot this time, so what he said had more or less the taste of drunk mantras.

Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, Dong Zhuo's words unintentionally touched a sap in his mind, he suddenly remembered that when Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, he didn't seem to have done many things that both people and gods were angry with except for letting the soldiers plunder the people.On the contrary, he became more brutal and bloodthirsty after the Kwantung heroes started their crusade.Before Liu Xie thought that Dong Zhuo hadn't grasped the situation in Luoyang at that time, so he pinched his tail so painfully, but now it seems that there is such an unspeakable hidden secret with those scholar-bureaucrats?
However, this set of other people's words is also a learning, especially for a seemingly rough guy like Dong Zhuo.

Indeed, since today's court meeting, Liu Xie will no longer think that Dong Zhuo in front of him is the brainless butcher who can only kill as written in the history books.Just like he came suddenly drunk and wielding a sword tonight, he must have a purpose that only he knows, but up to this point, Liu Xie has never guessed it.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xie said again: "Teacher, I envy the soldiers who guard the frontier fortress the most in my life. I can have a drink with Grand Master today. I wonder if Grand Master can tell me about his life?"

To talk to people depends on who they are.When you are with those who are really knowledgeable, you will naturally talk about the Han Dynasty and the ethics of scholars;When you are with close friends, you are the most relaxed, you can say what you want, you can talk about it in heaven and earth, and you can talk about jokes; when you are with businessmen, you have to talk about benefits and benefits. For them, only what they get is useful of.

However, it is always the most correct topic for anyone, preferably someone with some achievements, to let them take the initiative to talk about their psychological journey.And when it comes to talking about yourself, whatever you want to know is just a matter of getting something out of your pocket.

Sure enough, people's vanity is extremely powerful when it comes to trouble, not to mention a guy like Dong Zhuo who has mixed up from a frontier martial artist to a grand master.After hearing Liu Xie's words, Dong Zhuo didn't even have any modesty, so he said directly: "Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, then a certain family can talk to His Majesty. A certain family is from Linzhao, Longxi. "

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the young man in front of him must have been familiar with his experience, but in retrospect, there were many flavors that had accumulated in it, older than the wine in the bottle, and also Much richer.And Liu Xie listened so quietly, carefully discerning the subtle differences between Dong Zhuo's own self and the murderous demon king recorded in the history books, occasionally taking a sip of wine.

Behind the curtain, two of the most powerful people in today's world, one fat and one thin, one old and one young, just like this in the pre-bath wine, one talking freely while the other listens quietly.Such a strange scene is destined not to be heard by anyone, nor will it be recorded in any history books.Even though it was such a weird scene, it will have a non-negligible change on the whole world in the future.

Liu Xie never imagined that he would sit and listen to Dong Zhuo, a figure who had an extremely negative overall evaluation in Chinese history.It is impossible to imagine that Dong Zhuo's psychological journey actually opened the door for him to travel through his entire life...
