The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 175
After returning to Luoyang after going through all kinds of hardships, the emperor of the Han Dynasty lived in the Yang'an Palace. He had no soldiers and horses, and no people to produce. Find food for hunger.

The hall of Yang An was cleaned, but it was not as good as the halls of rich people. The windows and doors were wide open during the day, but the eyesight was still dim. Civil and military.

Many officials were skinny and frail, and they staggered when they walked, which made people feel very sad when they saw them.

The 16-year-old Liu Xie sat on a high position, closed his eyes and waved away the eunuchs who served him. The hall was dark and dead silent. She shed two tears.

Six years ago, he became the emperor as he wished, but he, the emperor in name only, has only endless hatred.

Thinking of the great ancestors Chu and Han competing to create the foundation of the great Han, how ancient and modern is it?When Emperor Wu sent Huo Qubing across the thousands of miles of desert to severely injure the Xiongnu and enshrine wolves as Xu, how invincible is he?The Great Han Empire is famous far and wide, who in the foreign country does not know the prestige of the Great Han?Why do Chinese people call them Han people?Isn't it just that the prestige of the great man spreads far and wide, and foreigners look forward to hearing about the great man, and longing for the Han people? !

Opening his eyes blurred by tears, Liu Xie, who is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, can only own a small palace that can't even light a candle. No one can understand the desolation and grief in his heart.

哼呵
Liu Xie suddenly let out a self-deprecating sneer.

Staring blankly at the bright spring scenery outside the hall, Liu Xie sighed with emotion.

He was determined to rejuvenate the great man since he was a child, and he knew that the weakness of the great man was due to the fall of the emperor's imperial power, the foreign relatives and eunuchs monopolizing power to harm the country, and the court and middle-class gentry forming a party for personal gain.

Empress Fu and Dong Guiren, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, these are foreign relatives.

The civil and military officials who loyally followed him from Chang'an to Luoyang were the gentry.

But they have nothing, the relatives are powerful because the emperor is too young to be alone, and the gentry are influential because of political power, but an emperor who has no territories, no soldiers, and even no subjects, only a group of loyal courtiers ,What is the use?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, there are thieves entering the city!"

The panic-stricken eunuch scrambled and rushed into the palace.

"You bastard! The sky is falling, and you have to calm me down." Liu Xie stood up angrily, revealing the majesty of an emperor.

The eunuch was silent like a cicada, lying on the ground trembling, and the civil and military personnel who had just dispersed also returned to the palace one by one in a panic, reporting to Liu Xie that countless soldiers and horses had come to the city.

With no soldiers under his command, even if Liu Xie wanted to flee, there was no one to stand in his way. If there were really bandits who wanted to kill the king, he would be at a loss what to do.

Many ministers including Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and Yang Biao advised Liu Xie to flee for his life.

The young emperor had suffered so much since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and finally got rid of Li Jue and Guo Si and returned to Luoyang from Chang'an. He was exhausted and did not want to go into exile anymore.

"No, I won't run away. I want to see who is coming. If the heavens don't bless the big man, today is the day of my death. I want to open my eyes wide and see clearly. In the world, who dares to kill the king!"

Liu Xie looked down at the ministers kneeling in the hall with a resolute expression and a numb heart.

If ZTE is hopeless, what's the point of living!
"Your Majesty, the visitors are Han Sui and Ma Teng from Liangzhou, followed by Mu Guojia from Yizhou."

Another eunuch came into the palace to report, Liu Xie sat down calmly without changing his face, waved his big hand, and said coldly: "I am here, who dares to make mistakes!"

The ministers in the hall tried to persuade them to no avail, and stood up together showing their dignity, and lived and died with the emperor.

Guo Jia, Han Suimateng and the others who came outside the palace strictly abide by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and have an audience with the pass, without any act of arrogance.

The trembling officials of the Huangmen came to order them to enter the palace. Guo Jia asked Han Sui and Ma Teng to go in front, and he took Guo Ye's hand to follow.

As far as soldiers and horses and official positions are concerned, Guo Jia should be in the lead, but he deliberately let Ma Teng and Han Sui go ahead, and they each held a box in their hands, which contained the heads of Li Jue and Guo Si. This is a credit, Guo Jia don't want it, give them all.

The road leading to Yang'an Hall was unguarded, so Guo Jia asked Dian Wei to follow them into the palace with the tiger guards in heavy black armor and acted as the palace guards.

In name, Guo Jia is the shepherd of Yizhou, so Liu Xie has no reason to attack him in the hall. From the reality, Guo Jia's army has already controlled Luoyang, and if he wants to attack Guo Jia, it is tantamount to burning jade and stone. Guo Jia is a cheap in the eyes of the world. It is obviously not worthwhile to die with him.

The huge imperial palace is mostly ruins, and Yang Andian is located in it, which has a bit of outstanding visual contrast, but it is still decent. If Yang Andian is placed in Chengdu, I am afraid it will be too unsatisfactory.

All the officials in the hall are lined up on both sides, and the emperor is firmly in the throne, all with serious expressions.

Ma Teng and Han Sui stepped into the hall first, which surprised all the officials and the emperor, and many people showed fear.

It is undeniable that Ma Teng is rough and Han Sui is tough, this kind of appearance makes the literati feel a little scared when they see it.

Guo Jia who followed into the palace led his son Guo Ye, which made everyone look weird.

Few of them have met Guo Jia before, and they only think that Guo Jiafeng is handsome, gentle and elegant, and the child in his hand looks somewhat similar to Guo Jia, delicate and elegant, even in the scene of meeting the emperor, he did not show timidity Instead, he looked at the officials one by one curiously, which had to be impressive.

"Sir, Han Sui."

"Sir, Ma Teng."

"Minister, Guo Jia."

"Meet Your Majesty."

The three of them saluted together in a well-behaved manner, Guo Ye did not speak, and followed Guo Jia to salute.

Liu Xie, who was sitting at the top, looked down at the four of them in disbelief. He had been terrified for many years. Guo Jia, whom he had known for a long time, was also a warlord. When had such a person really held him in awe?At least for now, the actions of the three dispelled the hostility in Liu Xie's heart.

"The three lovers came to see me, why?"

Liu Xie had to be more cautious before finding out what he wanted to do.

In fact, he was superfluous, and he could not control his fate if he was cautious or not. Let alone Ma Teng and Han Sui had a combined army of one thousand soldiers.What's more, Guo Jia's Taiping Army has surrounded the entire palace inside and out.

Guo Jia bowed his head slightly and did not speak. He gave up the leading roles to Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately presented the box in their hands, and Ma Teng said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I, General Han, and Guo Shijun together wiped out the rebels Li Jue and Guo Si. Inside the box are the two thieves. Head."

"what?!"

Liu Xie was already furious when he heard the names of Li Jue and Guo Si, and his complexion changed drastically when he heard the news of their death, he was extremely shocked.

There was an uproar.

All the officials in the palace were also extremely shocked by this news.

The head inside the box had already rotted, but Liu Xie ordered someone to bring it to him and open it for inspection.

Liu Xie didn't seem to be aware of the stench, and a ferocious look appeared on his gentle and clean face, staring at the two heads closely, his chest heaving and falling.

"Hang the heads of the two people outside the palace gate for public display! Li Jue and Guo Si are not guilty of death! I will also deprive them of the three clans!"

Liu Xie sat down very relieved, his face ecstatic.

The ministers agreed with Liu Xie's edict with one voice.

Li Jue and Guo Si are not from the three tribes of barbarians, and they are not enough to quell resentment!

"Your Majesty, Guo Shijun led an army to crusade against Li Jue and Guo Si a few days ago. After taking Chang'an, he has already done this. The three clans of Li Jue and Guo Si have been punished."

Guo Jia kept his head down and kept silent, showing no signs of asking for credit. Han Sui only waited for the reward and didn't care about anything else. Seeing that Guo Jia didn't take the initiative to come out, Ma Teng thought that Guo Jia's humility didn't take credit, and he might be worried that he would kill him first and then play. , because the etiquette was inconsistent, so Ma Teng helped Guo Jia explain the matter, and the starting point was to help Guo Jia to ask for credit.

There was some noise in the hall, the ministers were whispering, and the expressions on many people's faces fell into Guo Jia's eyes, and he really understood what it means to get revenge for a big revenge, and the joy after revenge.

Liu Xie had mixed feelings in his heart. He squinted his eyes and looked down at Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Guo Jia. As for Guo Ye, he didn't pay attention at all.

He cast a look at Dong Chengtou who was in the front row, but Liu Xie forgot to reward Han Suimateng. In fact, he had nothing to reward except for giving them some vain official positions.

Dong Cheng comprehended Liu Xie's instructions, and asked Han Sui and Ma Teng with a faint smile: "The two generals have made great contributions to the great man, and their loyalty is as good as the sun and the moon. I don't know how many soldiers the two generals have brought here. horse?"

Han Sui and Ma Teng couldn't help showing joy on their faces, and the hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Han Sui and Ma Teng's answer.

"Five hundred followers."

The answer of the two people is the same.

There was a faint sigh in the hall.

Dong Cheng didn't give up, and continued to ask: "How many troops do those two generals still have in Liangzhou?"

Mentioning this, Han Sui and Ma Teng felt a little sad and unhappy.

Han Suiwen said in a low voice, "Ten thousand."

This number is a bit exaggerated, but not far off.

Ma Teng was very honest and answered truthfully, "Six thousand."

The sighs in the palace were even heavier now.

The two together don't even have an army of [-], and their ability to contribute to the Han Dynasty is extremely limited.

Han Sui and Ma Teng now understood Dong Cheng's intention in questioning, which meant that the emperor could not count on them.

Ma Teng knew that his strength was shallow. Even if he left Liangzhou, he would only have an army of tens of thousands. It would be like a mantis' arm to help the Han Dynasty against the princes of the Kanto. Guo Shijun sent troops thousands of miles from Yizhou to eliminate Li Jue and Guo Si, his loyalty is commendable, he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, I implore Your Majesty to learn from him, Guo Shijun will be His Majesty's assistant prime minister!"

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone looked shocked or fearful.

If you want to tell the truth, Guo Jia has nearly 20 soldiers, and I don't know what kind of expression they will have.
