Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 117 Best Newcomer

The next day, Li Jue took Zhou Cang to meet the emperor. This was the first time Zhou Cang met the emperor Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie was only 13 years old, he was well-developed and slender, but he looked a little mature and pale.

This is the first time since Liu Xie moved the capital, a general from Guandong came to see him, and he was very happy. After saying a few words, he agreed to Li Jue's request on the spot, and issued an imperial edict to confer Zhou Cang as Fenwei Zhonglang General and Guangling Prefect .Anyway, the current official appointments are all at Li Jue's discretion, so it's better to push the boat along the way and let Zhou Cang feel the emperor's kindness.

Zhou Cang wondered, didn't Li Jue want to stay in the capital? After a little thought, he understood that there are not many state shepherds who are in their respective positions. In order to reassure myself, it is also a reassurance for Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.It's funny in my heart, what I need now is this name, and with the emperor's edict, I can't help you, Li Jue.

It is a routine matter for ministers to attend court meetings, and everything is decided by Li Jue and Guo Si, so no one speaks.Some closed their eyes and rested their minds, and some looked excited but their eyes were broken. Guo Si looked straight at Zhou Cang, as if he wanted to see Zhou Cang's heart.Zhang Ji looked up and down with interest.

There was a person in the court who attracted Zhou Cang's attention. He was mixed with the ministers and always looked like he was not sleeping, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked like he was in his 40s. It quickly returned to its original state, that kind of look was very strange, but it was by no means the so-called flash of light.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Liu Xie left Zhou Cang only to talk about the situation in the Kanto region, but Li Jue didn't take it seriously, and went back when Zhang Jiyou asked him to do so.All the ministers dispersed separately, only Guo Bang looked at Zhou Cang thoughtfully, and that strange person didn't look at Zhou Cang again.

Liu Xie and Zhou Cang came to the side hall and asked people to set up a banquet. Liu Xie said: "Last year Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent someone to greet him, and today General Zhou came to pay homage. It can be seen that Xuzhou still has a heart for the Han Dynasty."

This sentence is too difficult to answer, the little emperor is not simple, the seemingly simple opening remarks, but it has a profound meaning.Zhou Cang said: "Your Majesty, all the loyal people who cherish the Han dynasty don't want to look at the sky again, but they have the responsibility to guard the land and dare not leave without permission..."

Liu Xie waved his hand: "I know it all, and you don't have to cover it up for them."

Zhou Cang left the table and kowtowed: "The ministers have owed the Holy Grace..."

"But I didn't expect that you, the foreign minister, have learned how to behave like the princes and ministers in the court. Apart from pleading guilty or pleading guilty, you recognize it quickly, and no one is willing to do anything. Listen to me, everyone What crimes are there? How can I be punished? What is the use of punishment? If the crime is really punished, I will become a fool again." Liu Xie waved his hand again, and then waved for the eunuch to retreat, and called the guard leader Shi Huan to guard the door outside.

"General Huben Wang Yue's outstanding swordsmanship was reused by the late emperor. When Wang Yue got old, his disciple Shi A should have taken over, but Shi A didn't want to be an official, so he recommended his clansman Shi Huan." Liu Xie said.

Aren't Wang Yue and Shi A the masters of swordsmanship in the Eastern Han Dynasty?Shi A also taught Cao Pi, so it turns out that there is still this relationship.

"What is the year of Wei?" Zhou Cang was caught off guard by Liu Xie's sudden jump.

"Your Majesty, I am already thirty."

"How long have you been an official?"

"At the age of 19, I began to follow Tao Cishi and became the chief secretary of Youzhou Mansion. Later, Master Tao followed Master Zhang Wen to go to Xiliang, and because of his military achievements, he was appointed Sima of another department, and now he is the general of the gangsters." Zhou Cang expected Liu Xie's There was not much information, so Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others were vigilantly bypassed, and only Zhang Wenwen and Tao Qian were mentioned.

"Wei Guo used to be capable of writing and martial arts, Zhang Taiwei has a keen eye." Liu Xie didn't remember Zhang Wen very much, but the Taiwei who was persecuted to death by Dong Zhuo was naturally a good person and a good official.Taiwei, the head of the three lords, naturally has good eyesight, so the people he appreciates and promotes are naturally not bad.Liu Xie had already inquired, and it was not Li Jue who wanted to promote Zhou Cang as the prefect of Guangling, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, so Zhou Cang was not Li Jue's.

"It's a pity that Taiwei Zhang was killed by Dong Zhuo, otherwise it must be His Majesty's powerful arm."

"There are too few courtiers like Zhang Taiwei. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao left me. Cao Cao even knew to assassinate Dong Zhuo before leaving. The rest of the people not only did not share my worries, they only knew how to cry in front of me every day. Some people advised me to be patient, but I couldn't come up with an idea, what is the purpose of raising so many ministers!"

With a body and a speaker, Liu Xie, who had been suppressed for a long time, broke out. "It would be unfair to say that there is none. Wang Yun, Wang Situ is willing to do things, but look at what Chang'an is like now. He is good. He jumped down to the city, and once he has done it, he will be passed on to history. And Lu Bu, who came out I don’t know what I’m busy with after being closed, and there’s no news until now. Only I guard this mess.”

Listening to Liu Xie's harsh words, Zhou Cang's heart tightened, the little emperor had no complaints against Wang Yun.No wonder, growing up in this environment, how can you not be cool?It's normal to complain, it's pretty good if you don't go crazy, and you really have to stay away from the little emperor in the future.Hehe, it is not easy for Cao Cao to face this little emperor every day.

"I heard that after General Lü Bu arrived in the Kanto region, he joined Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao successively, but they were not accepted. He lacked troops and major generals, and had no grass or food..." Zhou Cang also wanted to explain to Lv Bu.

"Don't talk about him, I know that I can't count on these princes. Why did they take me to heart, otherwise the army of more than a dozen groups would not be useless. It is ridiculous to even choose a leader."

Liu Xie looked at Zhou Cang for a long time, and said: "I see that you have a loyal face, and you are supported by Zhang Wen and Tao Qian. You must not be in the party of Li Jue and Guo Si, nor are you greedy for life and afraid of death." Liu Xie As Xie was talking, tears suddenly shed: "Since I moved to the west, I have been ashamed of my ancestors and my ancestors. I have never wanted to return to the east. The general will help me."

Zhou Cang kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with my confidant matters. I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty. It's just that this matter is important, and we need to plan carefully to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

Seeing that Liu Xie was dissatisfied with his answer, Zhou Cang seemed to have to force himself to say something, so he could only continue: "Chang'an is now under the control of Li Jue and Guo Si, without their approval, Your Majesty and all ministers It's hard to move. I'm new to Chang'an, and I'm not familiar with the various situations. Please give me three or five days to think of a good plan and report to your majesty."

"I believe in you, and you will live up to me. You must come up with a good strategy. Li Jue and Guo Si are dictating and intimidating me in the court every day. It is totally disrespectful." The little emperor clenched his fists. "I have made up my mind that I must return to the capital Luoyang! I have decided to change my Yuan to Xingping. If this happens, you will become my servant!"
