Chapter 23 desolate emperor

Emperor Liu Xie stood sadly at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the dense lights in the imperial garden.More and more ministers petitioned. At first, it was just Dong Zhao, Ding Chong, and Xi Ji. Yue and Fu Wandu, who had just resigned as General Fuguo, came.Everyone knelt in the imperial garden in the snow, demanding to hand over Dong Guiren over and over again. Liu Xie had been confronting the ministers for half a night, but the momentum of the petition continued unabated, wave after wave, and he felt powerless to fight. His proud emperor's heart gradually sank, and his body leaned against the pillar of the palace helplessly. On top - it's over!The plan to eradicate Cao Cao completely failed.For this plan, he worked hard with good intentions, determined to promote Dong Cheng's official position, carefully gave Wu Shuo a jade belt, and did not hesitate to recognize the big-eared straw sandal dealer as his clan.Moreover, he also carefully selected the prince's clothes to contain Dong Cheng. He wanted to take advantage of the two of them to take advantage of the fisherman, take back all the power and troops into his own hands, and use his own ability to rejuvenate the big man and restore the country... But these two guys have not done it yet. After messing things up and scaring the snake, I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity in the future...

Liu Xie deeply regretted his youthful impulsiveness. He should not have publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao. What's the use?Dong Cheng and Liu Fu are all finished, Liu Bei has run away, and now I can't even keep my concubine, and I don't know what the future will be like. "Your servants are risking their lives to remonstrate!" Dong Zhao, who is so slow, took the lead and shouted again, "Dong Cheng forged the imperial edict to conspire to rebel, Dong Guiren should no longer serve the Supreme Lord, please long live the world's community as the most important, bear the pain and part !"

"Long live, take the world's society as the most important and bear the pain to part with each other..." The ministers followed and shouted, with uneven voices.Most of them are unwilling to come, but Dong Zhao sent soldiers to escort the car to pick them up at the door of the house. Do you dare not come after such a battle?Therefore, apart from Liu Miao, Chen Ji, Yang Biao and other old people, as well as Jia Xu who has not taken office, the other officials are all here, and they have been frozen in the ice and snow for half a night. Let the emperor hand over Dong Guiren earlier, and everyone will suffer less.

After spending so long, Ding Chong had already finished drinking the wine in his arms, so he simply stood up, walked down the jade steps, and bowed again: "It's getting late, please make a quick decision!" Hu Hu La La followed a lot of people, and saw that the officials had already surrounded the gate of the palace, but Huben Lang, who was guarding the palace, did not stop him. Liu Xiechang sighed and said: "You don't want to force the widow anymore, I will come as soon as I go... I will come as soon as I go..." After saying that, he staggered back to the apse like stepping on cotton.

Right now, Dong Guiren is snuggling up with Empress Fu in the apse, and the voices in front of her can be heard clearly. The twenty-year-old imperial concubine has long been frightened, holding her abdomen tightly, as if to protect the unborn child.Empress Fu was also haggard, holding her infant son Liu Feng in her arms, not only concerned about the fate of the nobleman, but also worried about her son's relapse. Liu Xie slumped down in front of the two women, and took Dong Guiren's icy cold hand: "I, I'm sorry..." How did you say those words?The dignified son of heaven can't even protect his own concubine!

Dong Guiren turned pale for a moment: "Your Majesty doesn't want me? What's going on? Why did Cao Cao kill me? Tell me!" How to explain everything to this innocent little girl?She didn't know anything about the secret edict!She didn't sew that jade belt, and she didn't dare to tell her anything about her father, but now she couldn't escape the killing.Liu Xie was speechless, but held her hand tightly.Fuhou was also weeping secretly beside him. "Your Majesty is so cruel! Even if you don't want me, don't you even want the emperor's son?" Dong Guiren's timidity turned into a wave of resentment.

Liu Xie's heart felt as if a knife had been twisted, but what could he, the emperor, do?He suddenly fell on Dong Guiren's stomach and cried bitterly.As soon as the emperor cried, the empress cried even louder, Dong Guiren also cried, and the servants in the palace also fell to their knees and wept, and there was a burst of mourning in the apse. I don't know how long I cried, but suddenly I saw a group of tigers flashing in at the door.Everyone was terrified, but seeing Man Chong squeezed in from the crowd, he knelt down and said, "The case of treason has been concluded, I implore Long Live to hand over Dong Guiren to the next person and punish him."

Fu Hou was extremely annoyed, handed Liu Feng to the maid, pointed at Man Chong's nose and scolded: "Bold thief, how can you trespass into the palace courtyard! Get out!" Man Chong couldn't argue with her, so he kowtowed and said: "I was ordered to try important cases, but I want to get rid of the evil! As long as you hand over Dong Guiren, I will leave immediately." Liu Xie slowly got up, stared at the front with empty eyes, and sneered helplessly: "Take it away...Take it away..." "My lord is wise, and I take orders." Man Chong waved his hand, and the two tiger warriors rushed forward, set up Dong Guiren and pushed him away.Dong Guiren shouted: "It's reversed! Everything is reversed..." Another tiger man tore off a half-foot palace curtain, rolled it up and stuffed it into her mouth.Dong Guiren's petite body was held up by them, whimpering, still yelling.

Seeing that this was life and death, Liu Xie and Fu Hou hurriedly chased him out.But seeing Man Chong leading people out of the gate of the palace, and a large group of Huben warriors knelt down on the ground and formed a low wall, even if they wanted to chase, they couldn't get out. Fu Hou wiped his tears and shouted: "Get out of the way! Do you hear me?" But the guards in the palace had already changed, and there was no one he knew well. The road is tightly blocked.Seeing this scene, the officials outside were also frightened, but they still had to kowtow: "Your Majesty understands righteousness, please mourn the queen..."

Looking around at such hypocritical people, his anger was at its peak, and suddenly seeing his father was among them, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Father, don't you even sit idly by? You just watch these gangsters and thieves act lawlessly and recklessly. Is it? Say something!" How could I dare to say anything after I fell down, I was ashamed and scared, I burst into tears all of a sudden, I didn't even care about the greeting back home, I covered my face with my sleeves and walked away in embarrassment.As soon as he left, all the ministers resigned immediately, and went away separately.Liu Xie was leaning against the pillars of the palace, crying and laughing, but he was still yelling and cursing endlessly.Suddenly, a young palace lady came running from behind: "Empress, the little prince is frightened, his body is very hot, hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

"Where's the imperial doctor? Where's the imperial doctor who treats the prince?" Fu Hou didn't care about his maternity, so he let go of his voice and shouted, "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor! Treat my son!" After shouting several times, everyone present None of the Huben warriors responded.Fuhou grabbed Liu Xie's sleeve and begged: "Dong Guiren and the emperor's son in his belly can't be saved, Your Majesty will send an order to save our Feng'er first..." Liu Xie temporarily put the pain behind him, and shouted to the crowd: "Doctor Xuan! Did you hear what the queen said? Are you all deaf!" A servant of Huben (a subordinate of General Huben Zhonglang, a small official of four hundred stones) raised his head and said in a strong Peiguo accent: "Your Majesty, Duke Cao's youngest son is sick, and the imperial physician Ling Zhixi has brought all the imperial physicians with him. Went to Xingyuan." "You bastard! This world belongs to Long live, and it belongs to Cao Cao! Quickly call me the imperial doctor, can you take care of the prince's mistake?" Fu Hou jumped and scolded. All the guards were ashamed by her scolding, but none of them dared to leave without permission, so they could only kneel there and lower their heads.Fu Hou saw that their dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water, so he slapped the servant of Huben twice, and went back crying to hug his son.Liu Xie leaned there without moving, he vaguely felt that everything in front of him was fake, it seemed to be the old dream of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, everything was too unreal, too unimaginable... In a trance, I saw Xun Yu coming from the darkness with a face full of compassion: "You madmen still don't get out of the way?" Come back. If the prince's condition is delayed, I will take your heads!" "No." Someone went away in response.When Liu Xie saw Xun Yu as if he had seen a savior, he threw himself into his arms, weeping uncontrollably, "I...how could I...how could..." He didn't understand Xun Yu before, but now that he thinks about it, he just This person was going back and forth between him and Cao Cao, maintaining his only bit of dignity as a king. He really blamed Xun Yu. Seeing the Son of Heaven crying like this, Xun Yu stroked his back and comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't be sad, this matter is over. Dong Cheng and Liu Fu made a false edict to make trouble, and it has nothing to do with you. Dong Guiren is Dong Cheng's daughter. You have to deal with it like this, you must mourn...Your Majesty, don't cry anymore, how can I bear the situation!" Like a child thrown into his father's arms, Liu Xie sobbed for a long time before slowly straightening up.Xun Yu knelt down on the ground: "Nowadays, the world is not peaceful and the world is turbulent, and there is even a big enemy in Hebei. Your Majesty can only appease the world by relying on Cao Gong, and Cao Gong can only be famous if he respects His Majesty. Do your best to maintain it, and in the future, the monarch and his ministers must not believe in self-destruction." After saying that, he kowtowed again and again. "The monarch and his ministers are one body...the same breath..." Liu Xie shook his head endlessly, how could it be possible to do these eight words! In the gap between the emperor and Cao Cao, Xun Yu's position is the most difficult.Seeing that the helpless emperor was in pain, and looking around and seeing no one else, he boldly said: "Does the sage know the words of "Mozi"?" A good bow is hard to draw, but it can reach high and deep; However, it can be a long way to go; good talents are hard to command, but you can be respected by the king', Cao Gong is the one who can help you revive the Han Dynasty, you should...at least you should still rely on Cao Gong, the world is not stable, you can't kill the chicken and take the eggs !" Xun Yu's chest was thumping, these few words were utterly ambiguous, if Cao Cao knew about it, he would definitely bring disaster on himself. Liu Xie's eyes lit up: "You mean in the future..." "Your Majesty didn't say anything." Xun Yu hurriedly recalled the words, "Your Majesty, don't be sad, there is still good news. The former Runan prefect Xu Wei returned to the court, and he brought back the national treasure of my great man. The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo You are back! You should be happy!" "Chuan Guo Yuxi? Hahaha..." In the dim palace, Liu Xie shouted up to the sky. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The voice was full of helplessness. When Tian Youling opened his eyes, I still look like an emperor... Hehehe... my innocent father! The Imperial Seal you lost is back, and today is also thanks to you, you Take a good look too! Hehehe..." He left the weeping Xun Yu and staggered back to the harem.
