Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 57 Dong Zhuo Shows His Power Again
Sitting on the dragon chair again, the boredom in Liu Xie's heart began to flood.In this supreme position, he should be able to rejuvenate the country with a single word, and move the world with a single seal.But the reality is that he, the son of God in name, can only sit on this dragon chair and play the role of a monkey.Even the jade seal, which represents the supreme prestige of the royal family, is not in his hands.

In fact, he had this emotion a long time ago, but the reason why it was particularly serious today was because he didn't sleep well last night.Among the Tingwei, he talked with Xun You and Zhong Yao in front of the pine torch until the third watch. When he returned to the Xuanshi Hall, he only dozed off for a while before being pulled out of the warm bed .

Today is the first day of the new year. According to the etiquette system, he cannot be absent no matter what.Because this year, he has very complicated and in his opinion very unnecessary or even boring things to do.

Still discussing with Duke Zhou about the time to assassinate Dong Da, Liu Xie was half asleep and half awake, suppressing his impatience, and silently accepted the salutes from the ministers who were welcoming the holy car.Then he boarded the imperial chariot, and under the escort of a huge ceremonial guard team composed of 410 seven people, he entered the Jianzhang Palace to worship the heavens and worship the ancestors... A heavy roof came from a long way, rolling over his head layer by layer .Liu Xie showed his customary expression of patience, like clay sculptures and wood carvings, and let the grand historians go through the prescribed process like a rusty machine. After more than an hour, Liu Xie was able to go to the toilet—— During the day's activities, even if he is the emperor, he can only pull it in the crotch pants.

The only thing Liu Xie is lucky about now is that he traveled to the Han Dynasty, instead of the Ming and Qing dynasties that required professional emperors more than 1000 years later.Although the Han Dynasty also advocated Confucianism, Taoism and etiquette, it was far from the time when the emperor was imprisoned under a whole set of tasks, conventions, and etiquette.For example, he only needs to endure two or three times a year for this kind of heaven-sacrificing ceremony.

After sacrificing to the heavens and Taimiao, Liu Xie will also hold a praying ceremony in Weiyang Palace, hoping that God will make this year a year of good weather and abundant grains, and then formally accept the congratulations from the court officials, and banquet the court officials... These are seen in Liu Xie To the people of this era, ceremonies that come in fake, pretentious, grand forms and cost people and money are of absolutely great significance, related to the principles of heaven and people, and to the great events of ordering chaos in the world.

Therefore, not only does Liu Xie not have the slightest right to refuse, but he also has to complete it conscientiously and meticulously from beginning to end.Otherwise, he, the emperor who dared to violate these cumbersome and strict etiquette systems, would not be worthy of acting on behalf of the heavens.

Son of Heaven,

Son of Heaven also.

What is the Son of Heaven?
The one who walks on behalf of the sky.

What is the way to act on behalf of the sky?
The way of life is also.

This is the definition of the Son of Heaven in ancient China.

The banquet in the palace is set in Fuli Palace.However, this is just a name from the previous dynasty. The real Fuli Palace was destroyed in the fire 200 years ago.The maids shuttled back and forth, setting up banquets one after another.Liu Xie looked at it, and the thing for banqueting the ministers was not very strong.From the looks of it, Dong Zhuo didn't pay for the banquet out of his own pocket at all, without Yinxiu's Shaofu, the situation was even more stretched.

"My dear friends, please take a seat." Liu Xie behaved very decently, after tossing for a long time, he was already hungry.At the same time, this was also the last task of the day, he planned to finish his meal and leave, and continue to go back to the Xuanshi Hall to catch up on sleep.

Of course, he didn't even know that when he was listening to Xun You's clever plan last night and was about to participate in the plan to assassinate Dong, Dong Zhuo also planned to give him a special surprise today.

Therefore, as soon as everyone entered the table, a Taishi stepped forward worriedly, holding a short tooth wat and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, I waited and watched the luck yesterday, but unexpectedly, the sky is so fierce that the clouds are like pieces of scales." Floating, the dragon hides and the tiger lies in the middle, and there are thousands of murderous auras. This is a sign of great evil. Your Majesty should slaughter a corrupt minister to feed the heavens, so as to ensure the safety of our Han people."

Liu Xie frowned suddenly, and the food he raised stopped in mid-air.At this moment, another scene of compassion suddenly popped up in his mind.In an instant, Liu Xie even forgot to reply to Tai Shi, and his eyes quickly jumped to Weiwei Zhang Wen.After that, Liu Xie really heard Dong Zhuo's thick voice resounding in the hall.

"Your Majesty, what the Taishi said is true. There are also some prophecies in the old man's mansion who say that the emperor star of the Han Dynasty is dim, and the auxiliary star is falling to the west. This indicates that a minister of my great man will die." Dong Zhuo got up, and at the same time cast his eyes on However, unlike Liu Xie's surprised and worried eyes, Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of viciousness: "This old man doesn't believe in the number of days, but yesterday, my son received a message at the mansion. A secret letter..."

At this moment, only a wave of anger swept through Liu Xie's heart, and he roared anxiously in his heart: "Dong Zhuo, I'll wipe your second uncle!"

In history, there is such a passage that said that Dong Zhuo committed many crimes and committed some superstition, and wanted to kill a minister "to change the sky".Therefore, at the court, it was suddenly claimed that Wei Wei Zhang Wen and Yuan Shu conspired to rebel, ordered people to drag Zhang Wen out and beat him to death with sticks, and then produced a secret letter, saying that the secret letter of rebellion was mistakenly delivered to Lu Bu house.Of course, everyone suspected that this was an excuse for Dong Zhuo to plant and kill people, and the excuse was very poorly made up, but at that time everyone dared not speak out.

Today's situation fits perfectly with this bridge!
Liu Xie suddenly activated all the cells in his brain, thinking about how to avoid the tragedy of the murder of Zhang Wen, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.However, before he could figure it out, he suddenly saw a person standing in the hall.

That's right, at this time Liu Xie can only describe the man's demeanor by standing tall: standing in the hall, the man actually gave people the illusion of being too tall!

At this moment, the man was standing about six feet away from Liu Xie, in the center of the hall.Maybe it was a delusion, or maybe it was because he didn't sleep well yesterday and he was in a trance. He suddenly saw that person standing on top of the blood-smearing Asura Hell.The blazing murderous aura is as strong as the roar of evil spirits under the underworld.And that person is the evil god who eats ghosts, who came from the underworld to the mortal world.

At this moment, Liu Xie's entire spirit was shocked by that person, and he completely forgot everything.

It wasn't until this time that Liu Xie believed that the murderous intent mentioned in those novels was actually true...

"Evil God" set off and walked step by step.

Liu Xie was shocked, and finally saw everything in front of him clearly: that "evil god" is a person, but Liu Xie would rather believe that person is a god's mansion!
The silver light in his hand came from this man's strange weapon.It was a gigantic silver heavy halberd, the handle was nearly half longer than the average halberd, and the mouth of the bowl was thick and thin.The blade of the halberd head is more than four feet long, and it looks extremely heavy. The strangest thing is that the blades of ordinary long halberds each have a small crescent-shaped branch, but this halberd has only one crescent-shaped branch.

Now that Liu Xie has a little knowledge of martial arts, his common sense and intuition made his heart tremble: that single moon-blade heavy halberd is not only difficult to swing, but also must be extremely difficult to use due to the uneven weight of the blade.But at the same time, it can also be inferred that only those who are extremely confident and have extremely high martial arts skills will use such weapons.

This person did not wear armor, but only wore a pure white brocade robe. Although it was not as majestic as hunting in the strong wind, the brocade robe reflected the cold light of the eucalyptus, giving people a sense of metallic texture.In stark contrast to the scarlet blanket on the hall, his white brocade robe seemed to fly through the air.

Liu Xie dared to wait and see carefully at this time, but saw that man's handsome bronze face with sharp edges and corners like a knife and an axe.Under the two horizontal eyebrows is a towering nose bridge and deeply sunken eye sockets.In the yellow-brown pupils, the eyes flickered like blades, as if they were dismissive of everything and bred a vicissitudes of seeing through the world.These eyes did not stare at Liu Xie coldly, because Liu Xie knew that if he was stared at by these eyes, it must be the prisoner of death when he died in Huangquan.

A mad murderous look flowed between Liu Xie's eyebrows.He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the air around him was gradually freezing, wrapping him tightly and almost suffocating him! ——Only Lu Bu, the number one flying general of the Three Kingdoms, can have such an aura!

Sweat came out drop by drop, and the inner panic was even more indescribable.Although Lu Bu hadn't moved at all, the sense of oppression exuded by his aura had already made Liu Xie difficult to breathe and unable to move.

At this time Liu Xie already knew what Lu Bu was going to do next, but he was frightened by Lu Bu's murderous aura, his throat seemed to be stuck in a fishbone, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word!
While he was struggling, Lu Bu suddenly picked up Weiwei Zhang Wen, brought him to the center of the hall like a child, and threw Zhang Wen's head away with a backhand halberd!
Liu Xie watched Zhang Wen being beheaded on the spot, and suddenly felt a sense of luck in his heart: Fortunately, the person Lu Bu beheaded was Zhang Wen, if Lu Bu wanted to kill himself...

However, before Liu Xie's thought of being lucky was completely raised, he was scared out of his wits by a flying head!
But seeing Zhang Wen's head cut off by Lu Bu, it flew straight in front of Liu Xie in a flash of light and flint, and just landed on Liu Xie's bright yellow dragon robe!

Liu Xie clearly saw the trajectory of Zhang Wen's head rolling in the air, and the frightened and unwilling expression it showed when it landed on Liu Xie's lap!The warm blood gurgling out instantly dyed Liu Xie's dragon robe, as if it flowed into Liu Xie's heart together with his loyalty and resentment towards the great Han Jiangshan...

Until this moment, three feet of hot blood spurted from Zhang Wen's neck, and the headless body crashed to the ground.

In the last scene, Liu Xie's eyes were filled with the splatter of blood, which was Zhang Wen's accusation to the sky!
