Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 33 Heavenly Sword

"Your Majesty just said that this sword is called Yitian?"

Xun You was sitting in the pavilion, where two pots of tea and several dishes of seasonal melon and fruit snacks were placed on the stone table in the pavilion.However, Xun You didn't see the ginger tea that was crystal clear and different from the one brewed in this era, but was very interested in the name of Liu Xie's sword just now: "I heard that Cao Mengde in the Guandong also has a sword with the same name as Yitian. From the meaning of "drawing the long sword and relying on the long sky" in "Da Yan Fu", when Cao Mengde was ordered by the grand master, he used the Yitian sword to kill eight talents and escaped from Luoyang. Your Majesty heard about this, That's why you named this sword Yitian?"

Liu Xie rolled his eyes, he knew that Xun You's words were still a test for his refusal to confess.As a result, I got a little more tired of Xun You, and felt that it was very troublesome to talk to this kind of scholar, so I said boringly: "No, my sword is Yitian among the rumored magic weapons in the world. , the sharpness is incomparable, only when the swords collide, can the nine Yin scriptures in the sword be taken out, learn martial arts magic skills, and then dominate the world..."

"What?" Xun You was a little dazed, unable to understand Liu Xie's words at all.

Liu Xie also reacted to this, sat down, and said with some displeasure: "This sword comes from the meaning of 'An De Yi Tian Jian, crossing the sea to cut off the long whale'. Who is Cao Mengde? Or he can only hold the sword and lament. How can it be compared with me?"

This choking made Xun You's already pale face turn pale again. He first smacked Liu Xie's poem just now, and heard the unique heroic ambition in the sentence.Then he raised his head and glanced at this man who seemed to have no emperor's dignity at all, and suddenly felt a little strange.

As the servant of Huangmen, he had been in contact with Liu Xie before. The former emperor had a bit of trepidation in his fear, and he belonged to the kind of introverted and shy child.Xun You's natural ability to observe words and demeanor made Xun You unconsciously feel a little jealous and alienated towards Liu Xie.

But looking at this shapeless emperor with his legs crossed on the stone chair now, the dignity of the emperor that he once deliberately wanted to maintain seems to have disappeared, and instead he has a cunning wisdom beyond his age.Xun You didn't dare to figure out Liu Xie's thoughts any more, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I made a mistake for a while, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Forgiveness?" Liu Xie muttered these two words, seemingly unwilling: "What crime can I forgive you? After all, you are also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, although..." Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Xun You at this time, Gently spit out the words in your mouth: "Although, you have never put me in your eyes..."

As soon as these words came out, Xun You felt like a thunderbolt, even worse than when Liu Xie tricked him into assassinating Dong Zhuo just now.But Xun You is the kind of person who becomes calmer when he encounters major events. After hearing this, he just lowered his body and said, "Your Majesty, why did you say this? I'm terrified. You deserve death."

"Okay, another one who is going to die." Liu Xie had fully controlled the initiative of the conversation at this time, and stopped teasing Xun You, and sighed: "You should get up and sit down, I heard you were young From time to time, there is a clear sense of judgment. But I am the Son of Heaven, my eyes have been washed by autumn water, and I will not be deceived by others. Whoever protects me sincerely and who just treats me like a puppet, there is nowhere to hide."

Xun You naturally wouldn't believe Liu Xie's nonsense, but he was also shocked by Liu Xie's delicate and sensitive intuition.Sitting on the stone chair again, he had already corrected his mentality, put away his thoughts of consideration, and faced him with the respect of a courtier.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what is the reason for calling the minister here today?" Xun You looked at Liu Xie's bright eyes looking at himself, and felt a little hairy for some reason, so he asked this time.

"Naturally, I want you to enter the palace and talk to me about the scriptures." Liu Xie replied casually, obviously insincerely speaking: Don't you scholars like to go around in circles when you talk, either citing scriptures or using ancient things to explain the present. Today I am also bored, so I will accompany you to go around more around.

This is actually Liu Xie's mistake of blaming Xun You. In this era, not only Xun You speaks like this, but also any scholar.The atmosphere is like this, but Liu Xie hasn't understood it yet.Of course, the more important reason is that the little ink in Liu Xie's belly is only suitable for resonating with Dong Zhuo, that turkey.

Unexpectedly, when Xun You heard Liu Xie say this, he frowned: "Your Majesty, this minister is just a servant of the Yellow Gate, responsible for conveying His Majesty's edicts, and is far from qualified to lecture and read to His Majesty."

Liu Xie froze in mid-air with his hand holding Dim Sum, he had indeed neglected this point.Fortunately, the memory of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty woke up at the right time. He rolled his eyes and said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will officially appoint you as a servant today, and you will be appointed as a servant. You, the servant of the Huangmen, is my servant. My close minister, not to mention you have always kept a low profile, so this matter will not arouse Dong Zhuo's attention."

The servant is the official of the prime minister, in charge of picking up relics and filling vacancies, giving praise, accompanying rides, bearing seals when leaving, and taking care of the emperor's daily life.Although he has no real power, he takes a salary of two thousand shi, which is exclusively for the emperor to place his favorite ministers.The most unique thing is Liu Xie's "special duty to participate in the ride". The emperor travels with the ride law, and then chooses a knowledgeable person from among the many attendants to ride with the emperor, and explains geography and anecdotes to the emperor by the way.

Generally speaking, the number of people participating in the ride is not fixed, it depends on the emperor's mood. Liu Xie can let any attendant accompany him.But since Xun You got the "job of special attendant", from now on, except for him, other servants will have no chance.

Xun Youwan didn't expect Liu Xie to think so highly of him, as if he was a peerless treasure and the emperor vowed to get his hands.Although he has not yet analyzed the reason for Liu Xie's move intellectually, but intuitively he has a feeling that he is going to be tied to a thief ship, and he wants to refuse immediately.

However, before Xun You could open his mouth, Liu Xie sighed in advance, and continued: "The former Sir Sikong Xun Shuang passed away last year, and it is very pitiful that he cannot return home. However, at this time, Dong Zhuo and the people in Kanto In the same situation as water and fire, there is nothing I can do, and when the world is peaceful one day, I will let you personally support the coffin to bury Yingchuan."

Xun Shuang is a great sage who lives in seclusion in Yingchuan, and he is a recognized moral model in this era.His reputation has reached the point where whenever the three princes of the court are vacant, he will always issue a symbolic edict to him, but he is still Gan Laolinquan and never obeys the edict.Later, Dong Zhuo's subordinates drove Yingchuan and besieged Xun Shuang. After repeated threats, he had no choice but to enter the court and become an official.After entering the court, seeing Dong Zhuo acting against the law, he conspired with Wang Yun to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately he died before the event.

Of course, Liu Xie has a respect for this person.But the more important reason is that Xun You is a member of the prominent Xun family in Yingchuan.Xun Shuang and Xun Ci are also Xun You's seventh uncle by name, and they also took care of Xun You in Beijing.At this time, Xun Shuang's name was brought up, and Xun You had no room to refuse anyway.

Sure enough, when he heard that Liu Xie had even thought of this matter, Xun You's expression softened, and he knelt down again and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

After Liu Xie heard Xun You's words, there were no words of loyalty such as "willing to do the work of dogs and horses", "heart-brained, and willing to do anything", so he knew that Xun You still did not really believe in him.However, fortunately, he has accepted the current position, which is also a good start.After all, it takes hard work to win the heart of a girl, let alone the heart of this unparalleled man in his forties—Liu Xie is already mentally prepared for a protracted war.

"In that case, then Gongda will come out of the palace with me." Liu Xie got up and clapped his hands, picked up the Yitian sword beside the stone chair and rushed out excitedly.

Only then did Xun You realize that at some time, the little Huangmen named Leng Shouguang had brought two royal horses, and even six ferocious mastiffs eager to try.As for the chivalrous old guards, they have already made preparations. Obviously Liu Xie had planned this time before.

"Your Majesty, you can go out of the palace on your own? Dong thief... the grand master didn't even care about this?" Although the facts in front of him have shown everything, Xun You still couldn't believe that his previous words were so quickly ignored. The boy opened the channel.Thinking of the previous edict again, Xun You seemed to understand something.

"After all, there are so many eyes and ears in the palace, it's inconvenient to talk freely with Gongda here. For some confidential matters, it's not too late for me to discuss after the dragon enters the abyss!" This time, Liu Xie no longer held Zhao Yebai's reins, Instead, he got on the horse's back, smiled at Xun You, and then raised his whip and shouted, "Drive!"

The Son of Heaven rode his horse Juechen, Xun You and the others looked at the handsome back, and they always felt that they saw the image of a young dragon galloping.Xun You suddenly felt that today's autumn is very bright and refreshing. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but let out a knowing smile. He also got on his horse and followed Liu Xie.
