Lu's relatives

Chapter 548
Liu Xie is actually quite sensitive, even though he is a high-ranking emperor in the eyes of people who don't know what to do, and he is the emperor bestowed by heaven.

In fact, it is easy to understand, since the age of eight or nine, because of the death of Emperor Ling, he has been photographed by powerful officials; although he has picked up an emperor for nothing, the price is that he has been under the pressure of the tyrant Dong Zhuo for several years.With the help of Wang Yunzhi, he killed the national traitor, but although the Manchao Gongqing respected him as the emperor, even a fool could see that he was just a child sitting in a special position.

At that time when Dong Zhuo was executed, people celebrated Wang Yun's unparalleled series of tricks, cheered for Lu Bu's prodigal son's counterattack, and lamented that the endangered man was finally rescued by a group of iron-blooded and loyal ministers!So those who have meritorious service are rewarded, those who contribute are bestowed with honors, and everyone has a share of credit, but there is nothing like him as the emperor.

The ass decides the head.Although Liu Xie was young, he was also of the royal blood that Dong Zhuo could call a king.After sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven, the perspective of seeing things is by no means comparable to others.Seeing that Dong Zhuo, who was originally a son of a good family who was originally entrusted by the Ling Emperor, was deceived by the power and turned against the sky, and then was killed, those big men, including the emperor Wang Yun who tried his best to call loyalty to the emperor is the first line of a gentleman, " "Loyal ministers", but they still don't seem to take his young emperor too seriously.Whether internal or external, all military and political affairs were determined by Wang Situ, which is the best portrayal at that time.It is not just a lie that only Wang Situ is known in Chang'an City but not the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xie, who has been called the Son of Heaven for several years but is actually a prisoner, has long learned to be patient, learned to observe words and expressions, and learned to use the remaining childishness on his face as a cover to protect himself.Standing on the sidelines, Wang Yun mobilized his officials, purged the other parties, and punished anyone who disagreed with his opinions. Even Cai Yong, a world-renowned scholar, just worshiped Dong Zhuo's corpse for a literati temper. Even the common people who hated Dong Zhuo for lighting the old Dong sky lanterns expressed their understanding, and still admired Cai Zhonglang's gentlemanly deed, even he, the emperor, just snorted and laughed after hearing this, saying To be honest, no matter how bizarre things happen, it will not be too strange, and the past will pass.But Wang Yun refused, and he didn't know what the purpose was, so he insisted on fighting with Cai Yong, that's all, although Cai Yong is well-known all over the world, he is a literati after all, he can't even protect his life among swordsmen, and his temper is not good. Strange, if such a person could really be used to appease the powerful Wang Yun, Liu Xie would not bother to take care of it.But Wang Yun still didn't think it was enough, and wanted to provoke Lu Bu, who had just made great contributions to the country!However, he was just named Marquis of Wen by Liu Xie, and General Fenwu was in charge of Chang'an city defense. He was almost Lu Bu who entrusted his wealth and life with full power!How is the result?Lu Bu abandoned Chang'an, and Wang Yun died in front of the two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si.

If it's just that, it's fine, but I don't know when, the rumor that "the emperor bound the king and Situ before the thieves" gradually spread among the officials who had clearly experienced all this personally. He seemed to have completely forgotten how panicked the officials inside the female wall of the palace city were when the two thieves, Li and Guo, came down to the city and could only sit and wait for death. They actually pushed all the responsibility on themselves.It can be said that since then, Liu Xie has actually clearly realized what it means to be a monarch and a minister.

Later, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu took advantage of the opportunity of Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Li Guo to "distribute the spoils unevenly" to once again raise troops to serve the king and break through Chang'an to welcome Xuchang. Liu Xie's performance was actually thinking In this troubled world, he has cultivated an army of soldiers who are at least loyal to him.Liu Xie knew very well why Ma Teng and Han Sui wanted to attack Chang'an. Although they pretended not to know their original purpose, and rewarded them greatly after they were born, they were actually in Liu Xie's favor. In his eyes, he had already been marked with a big cross.At that time, Liu Xie's choice was actually Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was born in the family of Yuan Shao, who was favored by the country and had the reputation of the fourth generation and three princes. He is capable and famous. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao was once the leader of the [-]th princes who crusade against Dong Zhuo. In Liu Xie's mind, he had this "consciousness" Yuan Shao is bound to be the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.It's a pity that before Liu Xie put this idea into practice, Yuan Shao's series of performances, as well as the rumors that Yuan Shao wanted to establish another branch of the Liu family as emperor, made Liu Xie, who already won the country, dishonest. Feeling apprehensive, I will let this matter go.

Then came Lu Bujun represented by Qin Xu.For Qin Xu, who is "similar" to his own age, but who has fallen out of a miracle and saved the emperor and hundreds of officials from danger, Liu Xie actually has a good impression of him. So he spread rumors that Tao Qian died and was remonstrated as Xuzhou Mu, but in fact it was just the official position of Qin Xu's Qingzhou Shaofu, which was granted by Lu Bu, and it was done overnight. Lu Bu was also touched.All these signs actually revealed Liu Xie's scheming, that is, he wanted to slowly return to the old capital under the protection of Lu Bu, just like in Chang'an.But all of this was messed up because of Cao Cao.

For Cao Cao, Liu Xie actually knew it from the beginning.After the eunuch, he was a generation of heroes, the "lubricating oil" used by the Eighteenth Route princes when they crusaded against Dong Zhuo. Although he came from a bad background, and he heard that the reputation was not good, he was actually a loyal minister.In addition, Liu Xie also heard about the poverty of Qingzhou where Lv Bu was based. Seeing Cao Cao's persistence and Qin Xu beating the drums, hinting that Lv Bu was willing to be the son of the emperor, he also saw the land of Xuchang. No matter it was only [-] miles away from the old capital Luoyang, and the important places where Lu Bu's Qingzhou Jinan was stationed, all the courtiers were hungry and thirsty because of the long journey, so they agreed to come down.

When he first decided to accompany the capital Xuchang, Liu Xie was very satisfied with both the ministers who came here together through thick and thin, and Cao Cao, who was very respectful and "respected" the imperial power.After reciprocating, Liu Xie also felt good about himself and made what he thought was quite generous arrangements for the courtiers and local representatives Dong Cheng and Cao Cao.That is, all internal affairs are taken over by the courtiers, and the "court army" is all commanded by Cao Cao, and the civil and military complement each other, so there may not be a good name for the general.

Liu Xie's calculations were very loud.Although there is no abacus in this year!But although he has gone through many hardships, he is Liu Xie who has been in the deep palace for many years, but he really doesn't know much about Dong Cheng, who is the uncle of the country, the general of the chariot, and before welcoming the emperor, he is already The thoughts of Cao Cao, the Lord of the Three States.Such a child's play division is obviously not pleasing to both sides.It also secretly laid the groundwork for the fiery and bloody dispute between the courtiers and Cao Cao in the future.

Dong Cheng is quite satisfied with the arrangement of his nephew and son-in-law.Since Dong Zhuo came to power, Dong Cheng, as a relative of Dong Zhuo, was able to take care of some things at that time, but Dong Zhuo had a strong temperament, and at that time, everyone in the world was disgusted with Dong Zhuo's tyranny. Naturally, Dong Cheng would not, let alone dare to have too much Power, and invite trouble.Not to mention when the two thieves Li and Guo came to power after that, these two were reckless men at all, and the territory they could move at will was actually only the land of Yongliang. There's no real benefit to going either.

But Xuchang is different.When Cao Cao sent troops to Chang'an, he had already occupied Yan, Yu, and Sili. Half of the entire Central Plains territory was under Cao Cao's control, and these three states were all large states in the Central Plains. After the natural disaster, it is infinitely better than the barren land in the west where Han and Qiang live together.It's no wonder Dong Cheng didn't wake up with a smile when he was able to take over such a great power just after leaving the land of right and wrong.As for whether Cao Cao would be happy, neither Dong Cheng nor Liu Xie thought much about it at the time. Although the etiquette is already broken and the people's hearts are not old, the "rule" of the ruler as the minister is still there. Didn't it also compensate Cao Cao's power to control the "national" military force? In the eyes of the courtiers, including Liu Xie, the emperor of Han, they have actually treated Cao Cao very favorably.

Since then, Cao Cao has actually been a little chilled!The key to honoring the emperor is how to "observe".Well, the Son of Heaven is in his hands. Before the flag of righteousness can be firmly held, the territory in his hand is about to be taken away?If Liu Xie was a promising king, it would be fine if those courtiers also worked hard to govern. After all, Cao Cao regarded himself as a Hanchen, and he might have agreed to this self-destructive "good intention" on a whim.However, regardless of Liu Xie or the courtiers, they are still far from reaching that "level".But Cao Cao still had some expectations for the whole big man, and it was precisely because of this kind of thinking that he was able to persist until now for nearly two years.

Human patience is limited.This is true for anyone, not to mention that they have similar personalities, and they are both Liu Xie and Cao Cao, who are not very broad-minded?Differences in identity, status, and values. One still naively believes that the emperor is the co-lord of the world, but it is just a temporary disaster. The world, including Cao Cao, the five states, are all owned by him. Liu Xie, one is I believe in strength, and I look forward to accomplishing great achievements for the great Han Zhongxing in this troubled world, but it is also because Cao Cao has been in charge for a long time. In order to "avoid" Xuchang, Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to attack Hebei to show his strength, and also took the opportunity to let those people who are spoiled by his humility cool down their hot brains and see Xuchang clearly The situation, it is best to maintain the status quo that everyone should at least live in peace with each other for now.

However, Cao Cao obviously overestimated the optimistic attitude of Liu Xiehe and the courtiers headed by Dong Cheng, and when he saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, or naively thought that he would really do the meaningless "the king let the minister die, the minister died" for no reason. If you don't die, you will be disloyal" stupid thing.So Cao Cao decided to give a "good faith" warning to some people who are still thinking about it until now, without touching the "bottom line" of both parties.This is why there is such absurd "cleaning" in the middle of the night in the palace city of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie understood what Cao Cao meant. Facing the influx of many soldiers into Miyagi, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit against Dong Cheng, who was on the same front as him who directly "caused" all of this. It is inevitable that there will be some dissatisfaction and complaints.Therefore, when he was planning to lure Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, the two best friends of the Cao family, to the Cheng'en Hall to "silently reprimand" Cao Cao's intentions, he also brought along the Fanghua Garden where Dong Lin lived.Because Liu Xie knew that the more he said that these two places were not allowed to go, the more he would attract two people to check them out. Perhaps Cheng'en Hall could be used as an excuse for cleaning, so the concubine's residence in Fanghuayuan was broken into by soldiers in the middle of the night. If not, then it is definitely a death penalty.Whether it is him, the emperor, or the officials headed by Dong Cheng, they all have enough rhetoric to make a fuss in front of Cao Cao.In this way, the two people hiding in the palace will be safe...
