Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 53 New Year's Eve in the Palace
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Wansuiwu, Weiyang Palace is much deserted this New Year.And a large part of the reason why it was deserted was that all the guards and maids in the palace knew that their little emperor had left the palace again tonight.

However, amidst the desertedness in the palace, there was a bit of indescribable real happiness.Several old guards were leaning against the porch, suppressing their excitement in low voices and throwing dice; some of them were not easy to gamble, staring at the silk and vegetable meat in front of them, scratching their heads and thinking about how to make good clothes for their mother-in-law and for the little ones. Good meal.There are even a few bold, shrewd and unmarried guys who flirt with the lovely palace ladies with the emperor's gift of pearls and hairpins...

Most of these heartless guys are from the Southern Army.The imperial army in Kyoto is divided into the northern army and the southern army. The northern army is the field part, with elite equipment and strong combat power, while the southern army belongs to the garrison army defending the capital, with mixed results.After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he first recruited and annexed the trilogy that could only kill pigs He Jin, and then recruited Lu Bu from Li Ruzhi's plan, and brought the Bingzhou Army under his command.

But for the Central Forbidden Army and the Xiyuan Army formed by Emperor Ling to help Liu Xie become emperor, they adopted the method of intimidation by force.The elite Northern Army of the Central Forbidden Army fled to Nanyang with Yuan Shu, the later general;Dong Zhuo didn't take much notice of the Southern Army who were paid to serve as soldiers and were rotten to the bottom. He picked out those who could fight and put them under his command, and dismissed the rest who didn't care at all Served as the palace guard and Chang'an guard.

Therefore, these guys basically belong to the roles that grandma does not love and uncle does not love.They don't know a single character, and they don't have any thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.But at the same time, he couldn't bear to act as those Xiliang wolves and cause chaos in Chang'an.For a long time, when Dong Zhuo's trilogy clashed with the palace, some of these people stood by and watched, and some even acted as guides...

However, this situation changed three months ago.First, the little emperor brought a guy named Xu Huang, and led his two hundred soldiers to practice these guys hard.These people didn't stick together at first, but after having foreign enemies, they unknowingly twisted into one rope.But the problem is that twisting into a rope is useless.The most intense time, Xu Huang singled out seventeen of them one day, beating them until they cried.The little emperor was sitting at the entrance of the Xuanshi Hall, spitting date pits in his mouth and clapping his hands...

However, that guy Xu Huang never killed him. As a result of the beatings, these people began to follow Xu Huang's lead.Soldiers have always worshiped the strong, and there is truth in big fists and thick arms.That is, from then on, they found that the little emperor's attitude towards them began to change, rewarding money, chatting, and sometimes even pulling the guards at the door to drink when they were bored, which made these guys start to fight against the vigil who complained all day long. Grab it—after all, who smells like booze these days?
But later, something happened, and one day the little emperor returned to the palace with a gloomy face.So Xu Huang was called to the Xuanshi Palace. No one knew what the emperor said to Xu Huang. What they could see was that Xu Huang seemed to be holding back his pride that day, holding a tightly wrapped thing in his hand, Raising his arms with a big ax and shouting, he took the 200 people and some guards who dared to follow him, and disappeared from sight.

After a period of time, those who are interested will find that the little emperor no longer needs to use the things in the palace to reward people.For those who abide by the duties of the guards and even dare to fight the Xiliang army, the little emperor began to directly use money, silk, and some valuable things that were obviously merchants' goods.

One of the things that made these southern soldiers sincerely follow the little emperor was that after Xu Huang left, the guy from the Xiliang captain who didn't know was drunk came to the palace to snatch Gong'e.Those maids are all poor people, in order to have a guarantee for their lives, many palace maids secretly flirt with these old guards.This is a serious crime of ransacking the family!That time, when the old guard saw his sweetheart being torn off his palace shirt and crying, he stabbed the drunken Xiliang soldier in his blood.After that, this man was tied up in front of the emperor by several old guards who were afraid of revenge from Xiliang soldiers.

Liu Xie looked at the man full of grief and indignation, then at the disheveled Gong'e, and then smiled strangely, looking forward to the pair of turbulent twin peaks on the chest of Gong'e: "You two, this Are they real dogs and men?"

The emperor's vulgarity is known to all the guards and servants.Otherwise, it is impossible for them to never treat the emperor as a child.When the two hard-working people heard Liu Xie's words, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to lead them to death.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Xie finished speaking, he reached out and pinched the pair of snow peaks on Gong'e's chest brazenly, and said greedily: "Hehehe, it is really soft and elastic, no wonder you just met the meat buns like a dog!" The same rushed over... Tsk tsk, you have a good eye. Treat her well in the future, I don't ask you to carry a big sedan chair to take her home, but if you dare to treat her badly in the future, my natal family will replace her It's up to you!"

"Your Majesty, the villain is willing to die..." Facing the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family, how could the old guard understand what Liu Xie said?It wasn't until I said halfway that I was pushed by the ecstatic Gong'e beside me, and I didn't dare to say it: "Your Majesty, you mean that you want your Gong'e..."

"That's your concubine..." Liu Xie looked back with a coquettish expression and smiled: "I don't know what kind of concubine she is, I only know that she is the daughter-in-law I bestowed on you a long time ago."

As soon as Liu Xie said this, all the guards outside the Xuanshi hall applauded thunderously, and some of them who were bold even went forward to congratulate the guard, saying that the guard was a coward for Shui Ling Cabbage.In the end, the old guard kowtowed heavily on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your Majesty, meeting Your Majesty in this life is indeed a blessing in ten lifetimes. From now on, I will be the most loyal dog in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty tells the villain to bite, if the villain hesitates, you will cut off the villain's dog's head!"

"Hahaha... You boy, interesting, I like you!" Liu Xiechang laughed loudly, and immediately ordered Leng Shouguang to take out some belongings as a wedding gift for the two.

As for those guys who betrayed their teammates in fear of revenge from the Xiliang soldiers, Liu Xie didn't bother with them at all.Those old guards were not good men and women, and after a few days, they were expelled from the prison.

After going through this incident, when some Xiliang soldiers who didn't have long eyes came in the palace, these old guards rushed up and drew their knives as if they had changed into different people: Fuck your ancestors, dare to move! The benefactors and future daughter-in-laws of Lao Tzu, first ask about the knife in Grandpa’s hand before talking about it!

Today's palace, under Liu Xie's rectification, has long been a piece of iron.Although those people had responsibilities and could not go home to reunite with their families, Liu Xie deliberately chose to leave the palace.After all, without his leader, his subordinates will be more relaxed-it is these little details of management that are the root of Liu Xie's real grasp of the hearts of these old guards.

Walking on Chang'an Avenue, where the curfew is no longer in place today, the sky is already dark and the stars are shining.Liu Xie now doesn't have to be as troublesome to go out of the palace as before. The guards guarding the gate are now looking forward to the emperor's leaving the palace so that he can take the opportunity to give the emperor a convenience.In the forbidden area, who doesn't know that the emperor is a moving vault?As long as you keep your mouth shut and have good manners, things will happen again, the Son of Heaven has always been unambiguous in his actions...

Moreover, Liu Xie's personal safety has also been greatly guaranteed.With six mastiff dogs escorting him and Wang Yue's gangsters secretly protecting him, Liu Xie was really looking forward to encountering some unscrupulous hooligans.Although Wang Yue was hidden by Liu Xiexue after assassinating Liu Xiao, Liu Xie was really eager to test the effect of practicing martial arts during this period of time when there was a street melee.

On the street, people can occasionally see people lighting bonfires and setting off firecrackers at this moment.Of course, their firecrackers are real bamboos that crackle and crackle in the fire.The red lanterns in front of some rich and noble houses were also hung up, and the whole Chang'an city seemed to be covered with gauze, showing a bit of subtle interest.

On the way, someone recognized Liu Xie and shouted: "Look, it's the young man who dared to fight even the Xiliang army!" After hearing this, Liu Xie waved his hand with a smile.

Leng Shouguang beside him tightened his grip on a thick quilt and a live chicken, looking a bit embarrassed, he raised his head and asked Liu Xie, "My lord, where are we going?"

"Go find an old man who looks after the city gate." Liu Xie smiled happily: "I've been looking for him for two months, and only then did I realize that he is right under my nose..."
