Chapter 42: Terrible Boy
"Someone from the palace?" After Xue Yun heard the shopkeeper's words, his brows furrowed.
He had just come to Luoyang, and it was impossible for the emperor to discuss things with him so quickly.
Because since the holy decree is written on it, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu discussed together.
According to the time, Huainan, where Yuan Shu is located, will be two days away from Luoyang at the earliest.
Now at most, he and Cao Cao are in Luoyang City, and Yuan Shu is still on the way to come on horseback.
It's just that since someone is here, Xue Yun naturally wants to go down and have a look.
Originally, Xue Yun thought that it would be a father-in-law dressed up to come to pass the decree and let him enter the palace to discuss things.
Who knew that standing downstairs was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, followed by two guards with knives.
And the reason why the shopkeeper can see at a glance that they are people from the palace may be guessed from their clothes.
Because although Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, it has been in war for many years, and it has not regained its former glory at all.
To say that its degree of prosperity may not even be as good as Jizhou.
It's just that Luoyang was, after all, the power and political center of the Han Dynasty, and its unique status is incomparable to any other place.
And the clothes of the three people below are all made of the finest materials.
Especially the kid in the middle, who is not very old, but when Xue Yun saw him, he faintly had an indescribable feeling, which felt very uncomfortable.
Walking downstairs and coming to this teenager, the feeling was even stronger.
It is a kind of momentum oppression, that is, the oppression that only the superior looks down on the lower.
With this feeling, Xue Yun thought of a person, but he couldn't say it in public.
The young man looked at Yuan Shao, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go to your house and talk." ”
At this moment, Xue Yun thought that Shen Jian was still in his room, which was messed up by him, and it didn't seem to be a good place to chat.
So Xue Yun said, "My room is a little messy, I'll let the shopkeeper open another room, right?" ”
After that, he asked the shopkeeper to take them to other rooms.
It's just that the young man said lightly, "It's messy, as long as there is a place to sit." With that, he went upstairs.
Walking to the door, the boy said to the two guards beside him, "You guys are waiting outside." ”
The two guards hurriedly responded, and Xue Yun also asked Wen Chou to wait outside.
Because he knew what the teenager was going to talk to him about, and he didn't want the third person to know.
He even considered Shen Jian who was tied up, so he asked Wen Chou to go up and knock him unconscious, so that he would not hear anything that he shouldn't hear.
The boy walked into the room, Xue Yun followed, and closed the door.
Wen Chou and the three of them were responsible for guarding the door and not letting idle people enter.
The young man looked at Shen Jian, who was knocked unconscious, and was not scared because of Shen Jian's shocking scars, he was still so calm and calm.
The young man sat directly on the chair, but Xue Yun did not sit down, but stood respectfully in front of him.
The boy asked curiously, "Why don't you sit?" ”
Xue Yun said respectfully, "Without your words, the minister would not dare." ”
Hearing Xue Yun's words, the young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and said curiously, "Oh? What do you mean by this, do you already know who I am? ”
Xue Yun knelt on his knees and said, "Weichen Yuan Shao, see the emperor." ”
The young man in front of him is the current saint Liu Bian.
That is, in the eyes of everyone, the puppet emperor who was weak and incompetent, and was manipulated by the ten permanent servants at will.
But now he has a kind of calmness that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change and his heart did not beat.
And the emperors who can have this mentality are all the emperors of the ages.
And Xue Yun suspects that this is the truest side of today's emperor.
In the palace, the submissiveness shown by the court is all his means of deception.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun couldn't help but sigh that this young emperor, who was only thirteen years old, actually had such scheming and strategy.
"That's right, I am the current emperor, Liu Bian."
After Liu Wei revealed his identity, the aura of the superior person on his body became stronger.
Xue Yun stood in front of him, and he felt that he didn't dare to breathe.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun couldn't help laughing, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were the last two emperors of the Han Dynasty.
Since the birth of these two emperors, their fate has not been in their control.
Liu Wei was controlled by the Ten Standing Servants, and was later deposed by Dong Zhuo, and his younger brother Liu Xie succeeded him.
And Liu Xie was displaced in his early years, and then he was controlled by Cao Cao, coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the world, and began his life as a puppet emperor.
Therefore, Xue Yun thinks that the emperor of this world is a tool man without self-awareness.
It was a plaything in the hands of these princes, but now that he saw Liu Wei himself, he realized that he was thinking very wrong.
Liu Wei is a tiger, but this tiger has not yet reached adulthood and has not yet grown sharp teeth.
So he was hibernating, slowly growing, until finally the tiger came out of the mountain and ruled the world.
Liu Wei said, "You get up." By the way, I heard that you were attacked by the Alliance on your way here? ”
As soon as Liu Wei said this, Xue Yun was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
Because he was sure that his people did not spread the news to the palace, Zhao Yun went to the prison, and he did not have the opportunity to go to the palace to see the emperor.
Liu Wei seemed to know something from Xue Yun's reaction, and added, "Don't be nervous, I listened to those rich people who were with you on the way here." ”
After Xue Yun heard this, he said, "Yes, this person is Shen Jian, the second leader of the alliance. ”
It's just that Liu Wei didn't look at Shen Jian, as if he already knew all this.
Xue Yun was still skeptical of what Liu Wei had just said, why was he so coincidental that he heard his deeds on the way here?
Instead of believing Liu Wei's words, Xue Yun believed in the other two possibilities.
One is that this little emperor secretly sent someone to monitor his every move, and then learned the ins and outs of the matter from that person's mouth.
The second is that the mastermind behind letting the alliance kill him is this emperor.
Because as long as he said that the alliance was his own force, and he gave them a task before, there would be no more alliance robbery after that.
After that, no one will trouble the alliance again, because that would mean rebellion.
As for money, no matter how rich these princes were, they only needed a word from him, and their money would be his.
So for those who can meet the two conditions that Shen Jian said earlier, except for Zhang Jiao, they are the rulers of this country.
And if Xue Yunxuan is asked, he is more willing to believe the latter.
It's just that Xue Yun doesn't know what his purpose is in doing this? What is the benefit of Liu Wei doing this?
"Then do you know any information from his mouth?" Liu Wei continued to ask.
Xue Yun didn't know whether this emperor was good or evil for a while, so he repeated what Shen Jian had said to him to Liu Wei again.
After Liu Wei listened, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally raised his head, looked at Xue Yun, and said something that made Xue Yun feel his whole head explode when he heard it.
"Are you suspicious of me?"
