Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 56 God Wants Man to Destroy

Chang'an's Tingwei Prison is not something that a noble gentleman can enter casually.This prison is said to have been set up by Zhang Tang, the minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The gates are strictly controlled and there are many organs inside.A generation of historians, Sima Qian, was not able to get out of his body, but he was corrupted here, which shows the power of this court lieutenant to shock people.

However, after Liu Xieliang revealed his identity, he was somewhat disappointed with this frightening Ting Wei.The night watchman was a little-known family member. When Liu Xie said that he was the current Emperor, he even arrogantly said that he was the emperor's father.As a result, not much to say, Leng Shouguang ordered the group of rangers under Wang Yue to almost beat them to the point of being unable to take care of themselves.

Fortunately, Zhong Yao, who heard the sound, came in a hurry and saved the life of the subordinate.After some pleasantries, Zhong Yao then respectfully led Liu Xie into the dungeon.

As soon as he entered the prison, Liu Xie felt that Wei Ting's reputation was well-deserved.The world here suddenly became darker and darker.

Moreover, the air was filled with an unpleasant stinky smell, and Liu Xie took two deep breaths outside before going in, resisting the desire to vomit.The pine torch was lit, but it could only illuminate a small area in front of the feet, and it was dark and gloomy everywhere, and there were horrible cries everywhere.In the prison doors made of giant wood on both sides, there were sluggish or crazy eyes everywhere. The prisoners waved their arms, trying to hold Liu Xie, but were severely knocked down by Liu Xie's guards.

This is the closest place to hell.

In other words, this is hell.Because Liu Xie knew that Zhong Yao deliberately blocked some of his sight every time he went down, but through the terrified screams or angry moans that resounded through the entire prison, Liu Xie knew the places where the executions were carried out. What a brutal scene.

As early as when Xun You was arrested as Tingwei, Liu Xie knew that Xun You was not in danger of life.Moreover, it is also recorded in the history books that Xun You ate and laughed as usual in the prison, but when he came to this prison, Liu Xie realized how easy those simple words were.It is conceivable that in such an environment, not to mention nearly a year, even three days, Liu Xie felt that he would be insane.

Down, down, down again.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally reached a place where the prisoner could not be seen.

Here is a separate cell.

Those who are locked up here are all people with status.

Even the court official Zhang Tang, who was more powerful than the prime minister, was imprisoned here and eventually committed suicide.

Finally, Zhong Yao stopped in front of a cell.

Xun You's condition didn't look good, his face was thin and thin, with sparse eyebrows, big eyes with deep eye sockets, and his beard was a little yellow. Even when he saw Liu Xie wanted to salute, his knees were covered by the damp and cold prison. All became stiff and painful.

But fortunately, Xun You's eyes were still clear.

Liu Xie took the lead to support Xun You, and avoided Xun You's ceremony, and at the same time ordered Leng Shouguang to fetch some hot water.

The cell was narrow and small, and after Liu Xie ordered to light the torches, only Zhong Yao and Xun You were left in it.When Leng Shouguang boiled hot water and brought it, Liu Xie took out the tea leaves and made a cup of tea with the two of them.

This time, Xun You finally saw Liu Xie's unique tea.Zhong Yao's eyes lit up as well, and under Liu Xie's gesture, the two raised their glasses and took a sip.

"How?" Liu Xie asked with a smile. Unlike the military leather of old Zou, green tea is more suitable for people like Xun You and Zhong Yao.

Both Xun You and Zhong Yao are not the kind of people who make false promises. When they tasted the difference of this tea, they immediately asked in unison: "Your Majesty, why is this tea so fragrant and refreshing without any seasoning?" ?”

The tea ceremony in the Han Dynasty still boiled tea.What Liu Xie brought was the fried tea that he had pondered over in the palace for more than a month.At this time, with the approval of these two real upper-class people in the Han Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel very happy, and showed off: "Tea is born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Drinking it with heart can make people sober and peaceful, and they will not be distracted when they are happy. Compared with The alcohol is strong, and it is the lightness of the tea that refreshes the heart, cleanses the lungs and washes away the dust. If a lot of spices are added to the tea to cover up the dusty fragrance with the vulgar taste, the tea will no longer be tea. What's the fun?"

The two of them took another sip when they heard the words, Zhong Yao narrowed his eyes slightly to reflect on it for a moment, and raised his brows: "Your Majesty is indeed a noble person, but if it's just that, His Majesty may not wait for me like this Do people comment?"

Liu Xie smiled awkwardly, thinking that his careful thinking really couldn't hide the two masters, and immediately said: "Tea is something that cleanses the stomach and cleanses the meat. I drink it, and I drink its essence. But if this thing is transported In the hands of foreign races outside the Great Wall, it is an indispensable medicine for prolonging life. If this product is popular in the wild lands outside the Great Wall, I wonder if you two think it will be an opportunity for reconciliation between Han and Rong?"

Zhong Yao and Xun You looked at each other, never expecting Liu Xie to have such thoughts in making this fried tea.They are not the kind of rotten Confucians who are obsessed with ancient times. After hearing Liu Xie's words, they couldn't help but feel that this matter is feasible.Zhong Yao even nodded his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the only thing that can be used for the reconciliation of the Han and Rong. If one day the Han Dynasty rejuvenates and your Majesty wants to go out of the Western Regions again, this thing may pave a way for a steady stream of money."

Liu Xie's eyes lit up when Zhong Yao actually talked about the Silk Road from this cup of tea.The road to hollowing out the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty originated from political needs at the beginning. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who wanted to contact the Dayue Clan to attack the Xiongnu.But later, merchants were forced to use silk to pave a golden road connecting China and the West.Later, after the tea brick was born, the Tang Dynasty used it to form a grand scene of tea-horse trade in the Western Regions. Tea became a daily necessity in Northwest and Central Asia, and Chinese tea culture began to erode and infect all parts of the world.

However, it is conceivable that such an opportunity is still a long, long time away from Liu Xie.Right now, in this dark dungeon, it is not time for thoughts to fly freely.

"Your Majesty, this tea minister has already drunk it." Xun You was the first to wake up, rubbed the warm teacup in his hand, and said, "Please explain clearly what your Majesty has done here."

Hearing that Xun You was already a prisoner at this time, but still regarded himself as a Hanchen, and couldn't wait to let himself explain his intentions, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel so beautiful.However, he also understood the beating nature of scholar-bureaucrats in this era, so he poured tea for Xun You in a leisurely manner, and said in a leisurely manner, "I am here this time because of Dong Zhuo's death!"

"Tie Dong has been exterminated?" Xun You was startled suddenly, but after looking at Zhong Yao, he regained his composure.He and Zhong Yao even had close friends, and if Dong Zhuo died, Zhong Yao would definitely let him know as soon as possible.

However, when he thought that Liu Xie would move him, who is here to train his mind and think that his heart is calm, Xun You couldn't help laughing at himself, just in time to meet Zhong Yao's eyes with the same smile, and both of them looked at each other. I understand: This little emperor is getting more sophisticated now...

"Tie Dong is not dead yet, but according to my calculations, he won't be able to survive this year." Seeing the reaction of Xun You and Zhongyou at this time, Liu Xie had to lower his face and put on a pose: "Now Bandit Dong is healed. Overlooked by everything, arrogant and arrogant, these days, old thief Dong hides in the black hole every day, drunk and dreaming of death, slaughtering loyal officials, and even his cronies and subordinates dare not speak out about it. Therefore, I assert that this year must be Dong Zhuo is about to die!"

After the words were finished, Xun You and Zhong Yao still nodded their heads, and they didn't move much.Seeing this, Liu Xie knew that he had to show some seriousness, tried to steady his right hand, and poured Xun You a third cup of tea: "Besides, I also know that Bandit Dong will die at the hands of Master Situ! "

When Liu Xie mentioned the name 'Wang Yun', Xun You finally couldn't calm down, the teacup shook slightly, splashing out a puddle of water.In the end, under Liu Xie's unblinking gaze, Xun You said silently: "Thief Dong will definitely die at the hands of Lord Situ, and the one who can do it will definitely not be Lord Situ..."

Liu Xie was also shocked at this time. He knew the history, and only then did he realize that Dong Zhuo died at the hands of Lu Bu.But Xun You was imprisoned in this prison, and he made such a conclusion based on his own speculation, which is really a conspiracy of ghosts and gods.Therefore, after the tea in Liu Xie's hand accidentally spilled into Xun You's hand, Xun You said lightly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I came here tonight to know how you should deal with yourself in this turbulent situation?"

At this point, Liu Xie was finally convinced. Knowing that the time for the conversation was ripe, he said seriously: "I beg Gongda to give me some advice..."

But who knows, Xun You picked up the teacup, and in the hot air, he just sighed lonely: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo has not yet gotten into the game at this time, what you have to do, and only you can do, is to make him stunned and arrogant to the end!" ..."

'Does God have to make man crazy before he wants to destroy it? Liu Xie was so enlightened, he smiled and thought of this Western proverb.
