Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 45
Sitting on the wide dragon chair again, Liu Xie was still full of doubts and refused to dissipate.Dong Min's behavior of coming quietly and leaving quietly last night without taking a single cloud and leaving only a single sentence really made Liu Xie uneasy.

"Your Majesty, elder brother has something to tell you." Dong Min was a rough and unscrupulous man from Xiliang, a bit less hostile than Dong Zhuo, but more cunning and domineering than Dong Zhuo.He treated Liu Xie even more arrogantly than Dong Zhuo, and even paid his respects absent-mindedly: "Brother said that Your Majesty has been pretending to be sick for a while, please make sure to show up at the court meeting tomorrow, so as not to make the courtiers feel uneasy."

After saying this, Dong Min didn't say anything about his resignation, so he gave alms and left.He didn't even notice Liu He who was hiding in a hurry.

However, in this short sentence, Liu Xie saw the playful mockery in Dong Min's eyes.Therefore, Liu Xie knew that there must be a good show waiting for him at the court meeting today.

Today's court meeting, Liu Xie came a little earlier, the reason, of course, was because he was thinking too much last night and didn't sleep well.It was at this time that he realized that the court meeting of the Han Dynasty was not a daily routine, but would only be held whenever a major event occurred that required the courtiers to brainstorm or when there were important matters such as sacrifices and diplomacy.Other trivial matters will be handled by Shangshutai and the Grand Master's Mansion who is now in charge of the court.

The only thing that made Liu Xie happy was that the Han Dynasty did not have the tradition of keeping the cold at dawn. He didn't have to endure the cold dew and come to Weiyang Palace to blow the cold wind at six o'clock in the morning.However, Liu Xie, who was sitting on this dragon chair, still did not have the superiority of mastering the universe, but felt very uncomfortable.After all, the dragon chair was too wide for him, and the four sides were not close to the side. If he wanted to sit up straight, he had to stand upright by himself. After sitting for a while, Liu Xie already felt a little tired.

That kind of tiredness is not simply physical.

The courtiers bent over the hall one by one, seeing Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair with a ruddy complexion, there was an imperceptible look in the eyes of each of them.There were joys, doubts, and disgust, but Liu Xie didn't care about these people. What he had to wait for was Dong Zhuo's verdict.

When I was young, when the sun at the edge of the sky finally broke free from the cover of the clouds and brought a glimmer of light to the spacious but extremely oppressive front hall of Weiyang Palace, the sound of rumbling chariots broke the silence, and Grand Master Dong Zhuo came.

Dong Zhuo’s carriage is no different from that of the Son of Heaven. It is driven by four horses, covered with gold and green, with melons and two streamers painted on it. The whole body is decorated with gold.Now, it is definitely a combat vehicle among vehicles, such as Lincoln, Brady Veyron, and Lamborghini.Besides, everyone else walked, so Dong Zhuo drove the car all the way to the gate of the Great Hall of the People, which was quite a face.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie suddenly felt an indescribable resentment, and he knew that it was his own body that was causing the trouble again.After taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress the impulse.

When Dong Zhuo got out of the car, Liu Xie discovered that Dong Zhuo was not the only one sitting in the car, but a thin man was sitting with him.Looking from a distance, Liu Xie originally thought that the skinny man was Wang Yun. After all, Wang Yun had a high official position at this time, and he was eager to flatter Dong Zhuo, and he had the closest relationship with Dong Zhuo.But the next incident made Liu Xie know that it was impossible for Wang Yun to be that person.

The two seemed to be discussing something, and it seemed that the thin man had touched Dong Zhuo's heart, making Fatty Dong smile all over his face, and he patted the thin man on the back with his hand.

In ancient times, the action of stroking the back was different from that of our modern young people.That's the kind of action that only happens when you're quite intimate and friendly.Just like a modern leader pats you on the shoulder and says to you: "Young man, you are very good, I am optimistic about you...".

But at this moment, a sudden change happened!

The thin man suddenly took advantage of the situation and pulled out a saber from the wide court clothes, intending to stab Dong Zhuo, but although Dong Zhuo was fat, his reaction was not slow. The thin man's shoulders threw the thin man out with a force.After Dong Zhuo struggled to escape, he hurriedly called on those around him to grab the skinny man.

This series of events seemed to be very complicated, but it ended in a blink of an eye.At this time, Liu Xie could no longer sit quietly on the dragon chair, and hurriedly ran to the outside of the hall.

Before Liu Xie ran out of the hall, Dong Zhuo yelled, "Wu Fu, I think I treat you well, so how dare I assassinate you!" When things failed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tie Dong, you are ambitious and bully the king, causing the world to die and the country to be devastated. I, Wu Fu, can only thank the world by cutting you into pieces in the middle of the city!"

"Wu Fu, rebellious minister, how dare you say such treasonous words, do you want to rebel? Come here, I will kill this old man immediately!"

"Stop!" Seeing the imminent need ahead, Liu Xie wished he could grow a few more legs: Damn, it's nothing to show the majesty of the royal family, why make this hall so big!There is also this gorgeous crown dress, which is really cool to wear, but the crowns made of twelve boats of beautiful jade in front of you, swaying randomly when running, really affect the sight!
It's a pity that everyone didn't hear Liu Xie's cry, or even if they heard it, they didn't hear it. Those guards drew their swords and cut them immediately. Wu Fu was stabbed several times in an instant, and fell to the ground ...

When Liu Xie ran in front of Wu Fu, he only felt that his eyes were covered with Wu Fu's dark red blood, and that pool of blood gurgling towards the hall seemed to be telling the humbleness of the Han Dynasty and the way of heaven. injustice.

"What? Emperor, is it wrong for a certain family to kill this rebellious courtier?"

Only now did Liu Xie see that Dong Zhuo was bursting with anger, and his face was flushed from the suffocation, as if he wanted to stretch out the unrestrained beard on his face.Coupled with Dong Zhuo's glaring eyes like copper bells, the hostility all over his body burst out.At this time, he stood outside the hall, as if he was an angry lion, ready to choose someone to eat.

Liu Xie was frightened for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the scene where Dong Zhuo almost strangled him that night.But when he looked down and saw the blood on the ground, the unyielding anger in his chest began to surge again—Wu Fu's body had been dragged by those guards, like dragging a dead dog.

This loyal man of the great man failed to contribute to the great man's community during his lifetime, but he was so humiliated after his death.From this, Liu Xie also saw that a man dressed as a scribe behind Dong Zhuo was giving instructions to his soldiers.Thinking about it, these people are going to kill Wu Fu's family...

At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly felt a little dazed.He guessed that there would be a good show today, but he never expected that Wu Fu's assassination of Dong Dong would happen in front of his eyes like this in history.Moreover, as the emperor of one dynasty, he did not have any power to stop this tragedy at all.

"Investigate, investigate severely for a certain family!" After Dong Zhuo was shocked, his brain immediately came to his senses, his cold and angry eyes passed Liu Xie, and fell on the silent scholar-bureaucrats in the hall, roaring angrily: " Wu Fu is alone, but he is only a school lieutenant. He definitely does not have the guts to assassinate a certain family. Someone must be instigating behind the scenes! Who has the closest relationship with Wu Fu?!"

"Back to Master Taishi, Shangshu Zheng Tai, Yilang He Yong, and Shizhong Xunyou are very close friends with Wu Fu!" One person answered immediately, and Liu Xie couldn't help but look forward to it.

The person who said this was less than five feet long, almost as tall as Liu Xie.The appearance is ugly, the mouth seems to be a little crooked, the complexion is dark, the cheeks are thin and dry, as if a gust of wind can blow him away.The gorgeous deep clothes look quite bulky, and his left shoulder is slightly higher and the right shoulder is slightly lower, giving the impression that he is like an old farmer who accidentally mixes up some good clothes.

In fact, after a closer look, it turns out that this person is not very old, that is, he will be about 30 years old.Liu Xie is well aware of the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance, but they can't think of it. Apart from Li Ru and Jia Xu, which literati under Dong Zhuo would be so clear about the context of the scholars above the court, and recall them instantly. Report it out.

However, Liu Xie soon knew the identity of this person.Dong Zhuo's dead fish eyes stared at him, and immediately a dozen soldiers from Xiliang rushed into the front hall and pulled the two of them out.One of them was Xun You, who had just been promoted by Liu Xie, while the other was older and exasperatedly shouted: "Tian Yi, you humble man, you dare to slander us without evidence and grounds, it's really bloody!" people!"

Liu Xie nodded suddenly at that time. This Tian Yi was not well-known, but he was also an indispensable counselor under Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and he had been advising Dong Zhuo behind the scenes.It is said that this down-and-out scholar was captured by the Qiang tribe in his early years, and he was a slave for a while, and suffered great physical and mental damage.Later, because of Dong Zhuo's battle, he regained his freedom, so he was loyal to him and willing to contribute his wisdom.Before Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he wrote in Mianchi Shangshu, citing scriptures and allusions in large strokes of Huahan, without any carelessness, and it was this person who took the knife as a ghostwriter.

Dong Zhuo didn't care about He Yong's yelling at this time, but looked around, and said with anger still: "There is still Zheng Tai, where is this bastard?"

"Report!" At this time, a small school stepped forward, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, and said, "Grand Master, under the orders of Master Li, the Lang Zhongling, this villain entered Zheng's mansion to arrest Zheng Tai, and learned that this man has fled from Wuguan! "

Dong Zhuo's face immediately became furious, and he slapped He Yong hard on the face, until He Yong's teeth fell out: "Now you still dare to say that the old man slandered you, you son of a bitch! Kill the old man, no! Divide the body by five horses! "
