Luoyang City, Dahan.

In a majestic palace, a young man knelt on the edge of the bed and looked at a frail middle-aged man on the bed.

Looking at the extremely weak middle-aged man on the dragon couch, for a while, Liu Xie's heart was filled with ripples.

The man is Liu Hong, the co-ruler of the Han Dynasty, and the 11th emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of Han.

At this time, Liu Xie was just a ten-year-old boy in the eyes of outsiders.

Although it is so on the surface, it has already fallen inside, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that in the body of this weak young man, there is a soul hidden after two thousand years.

What made Liu Xie a little helpless was that Liu Hong, the co-owner of the world in front of him, was actually his biological father in this life.

What kind of emperor is Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty For those who are familiar with the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "thunderous".

Liu Hong's so-called reputation is not as wise and martial as his ancestors Han Wu and Guangwu, but on the contrary, it is notorious.

This is really a bit ironic for the powerful Han Dynasty!

"Ahem......"

On the dragon couch, Liu Hong's weak coughing sound sounded from time to time, making people suspect that he might drive west at any time.

beckoned to Liu Xie, a simple action for ordinary people, but it seemed to drain Liu Hong's remaining strength.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has called you." A person who looked like a eunuch next to the dragon couch looked at Liu Xie and seemed to be a little distracted, and hurriedly reminded.

Liu Xie, who came back to his senses, glanced at the person who spoke and nodded slightly.

The eunuch had actually noticed it since Liu Xie came in.

However, Liu Xie couldn't help but pay attention to it, because the person in front of him was too dazzling.

The eunuch in front of him was a little too strong compared to the thin figure of other eunuchs.

If it weren't for the fact that this person didn't have the slightest sign of a beard on his chin, Liu Xie would have thought that this was an assassin who had infiltrated from outside the palace.

Thinking of his memory, the person in front of him was none other than Liu Hong who personally appointed the Marshal of the Xiyuan Army - Jian Shuo.

At this time, Jian Shuo's eyes were a little red, which was obviously caused by sadness.

Liu Xie looked at it and said secretly in his heart, although Jian Shuo is a eunuch, he is quite loyal to the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong.

Liu Xie looked at Liu Hong, and saw that Liu Hong's cheekbones on the dragon couch were prominent, his eye sockets were deep, and his originally sickly sallow cheeks were a little weird flush at this time.

Since Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, he has been extravagant, ignoring the government and politics, and has long been hollowed out by wine.

If Liu Xie's expectations are good, calculate the days, I'm afraid that his so-called father is running out, and the flush on his face may be a sign of returning to the light.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Father."

Looking at Liu Hong's miserable appearance and expectant eyes in front of him, thinking that he was also his father in this life, Liu Xie's heart flashed a trace of unbearable screaming.

Hearing Liu Xie call himself, Liu Hong was a little surprised and said, "Emperor, do you still hate your father?" ”

After all, from the eyes of Liu Hong, the emperor of the world, a rare look of hope flashed.

Hearing what Liu Hong said, Liu Xie was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

I haven't even seen my biological mother in this life, but I heard that my mother was poisoned to death by Queen He.

It stands to reason that the whole process of this matter did not come from Liu Hong's wishes, on the contrary, her mother Wang Meiren was deeply favored by Liu Hong at the beginning.

It's strange that after the incident, Liu Hong easily spared Queen He under the eunuch's plea.

From a husband's point of view, Emperor Ling is really not a good husband.

Afterwards, Liu Hong was afraid that Empress He would harm Liu Xie, who was still young, so he hurriedly sent someone to carry the infant Liu Xie to Yongle Palace and hand him over to his mother, Empress Dowager Dong.

So over the years, Liu Xie has been raised by the Empress Dowager Dong.

This also caused Liu Xie not only to have no impression of his mother, but also to Liu Hong, the father, who had never met him a few times.

But having said that, although Liu Hong is not a qualified husband, his perspective as a father is quite acceptable, after all, Liu Xie has been able to live until now thanks to Liu Hong's decision.

Thinking of this, looking at the man in front of him, he was no longer an emperor above 10,000 people, just an ordinary father.

"Father, take care of the dragon." After all, Liu Xie still had some psychological obstacles in his heart, and he comforted Liu Hong and did not answer positively.

Hearing what Liu Xie said, a trace of loss flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, obviously his son still didn't forgive himself.

After a moment of silence, Liu Hong seemed to have made some kind of determination, and said to Jian Shuo on the side: "Jian Shuo! ”

"The slave is here!" Jian Shuo's majestic and majestic body knelt down.

"I have made up my mind, and the throne will be passed on to the Second Prince's Association, and I will clear the obstacles for Xie'er." Although Liu Hong was extremely weak at this time, there was an indescribable firmness in his weak tone.

"No! Even if the slave dies, he will ensure that His Royal Highness the second prince ascends to the throne. "Jian Shuo cut the railway.

"I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health."

After that, a sturdy man couldn't help but sob.

"Okay, you dog slave, I'm crying before I'm dead, cough cough ......" Hearing Jian Shuo's cry, Liu Hong on the dragon couch scolded with a smile, and then couldn't help coughing violently.

Liu Xie on the side could hear that Liu Hong was not really weird, on the contrary, this sentence was somewhat full of the love between the master and servant for many years.

After a moment, Liu Hong looked at the blood stains he coughed up in the silk silk handed over by Jian Shuo, and said: "Jian Shuo, you are not bad, I know my body, and time is running out." ”

"That's not what the slave meant, Your Majesty wants to live long live......"

Liu Hong didn't talk about Shuo's words, and said to himself: "But God didn't give me more time, otherwise there would be no change in Xie'er's throne." ”

Suddenly, there was a brief silence in the hall.

"Xie'er, I'm afraid this is the first time I've called you that." Liu Hong said with a bitter smile.

"Father." From the conversation between Liu Hong and Jian Shuo, Liu Xie obtained some information.

Jian Shuo is undoubtedly truly loyal to Liu Hong.

And what surprised Liu Xie the most was Liu Hong, the "famous" Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in history, who did not seem to be as dim as shown in the historical biography.

And Liu Hong was able to pass the throne to himself, in addition to compensating for his mother's affairs, I am afraid that on the other hand, it can also be said to be dissatisfied with the He family.

It seems that he has made up his mind to make a break with the He clan.

The people of the royal family are really terrifying, even if they have to calculate before they die, thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"I will give this country to you now, do you dare to accept it?" Liu Hong stared at Liu Xie directly at this time, and asked in an irrefutable tone.

Liu Xie's heart was suddenly shocked, and he secretly said that I am afraid that Liu Hong at this time is the true face of the Spirit Emperor who is extravagant and extremely deaf in the eyes of others.

Liu Xie nodded, but then shook his head again.

"Don't you dare?" Seeing Liu Xie shaking his head, Liu Hong was a little disappointed.

Hearing what Liu Hong said, Liu Xie shook his head again,

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what does this mean?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Jian Shuo on the side asked, and at the same time eased the atmosphere.

Seeing Liu Xie shaking his head again, a hint of strangeness flashed in Liu Hong's cloudy eyes on the side.

Liu Xie looked at Liu Hong, who was also a little puzzled, and said: "My father has a will, and my sons dare not disrespect, but they are just ......"

"Just what?" Liu Hong asked with difficulty, staring directly at Liu Xie, and at this time, the green tendons of his right hand holding the futon burst out.

"My father also knows that since ancient times, it has been passed down from the elders to the young, and it is already difficult for Xie'er to get this throne, besides, He Jin is a general, and Queen He is also a **, and my father is afraid that he will ...... just by virtue of a word" Liu Xie said stiffly.

Liu Xie had to take this risk, in this era, he needed a certificate that could justify his name.

At this time, Jian Shuo on the side looked at Liu Xie with an incredulous expression, as if it was the first time he had seen Liu Xie.

"You tell me the truth, did they teach you?" Liu Hong stared at Liu Xie like a goshawk examining its prey.

Liu Xie knew that what Liu Hong was referring to was the Dong clan who raised him, after all, what he said just now was not like what a young man under ten years old could say.

"These are all the words of the son's heart." Liu Xie calmly looked at Liu Hong.

After a few breaths, I saw Liu Hongcai suddenly look up to the sky and laugh: "Okay, good, hahahaha...... Ahem......"

While laughing, Liu Hong suddenly coughed violently again.

"Your Majesty." Jian Shuo said and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Hong.

Liu Hong blocked Jian Shuo and said to Liu Xie: "I promise you!" I...... I'm tired, so stand down. ”

Hearing what Liu Hong said, Liu Xie's hanging heart finally let go of half of it.

However, at this time, Liu Hong was just a promise, and an unspeakable anxiety could not help but rise in his heart.

He took such a big risk, but it was not for such a simple promise, and it seems that Liu Hong doesn't seem to last long, and it is not so easy to know that he comes to the palace.

However, Liu Xie knew in his heart that it was inconvenient for him to say anything more at this time, so he had to say: "Erchen retires." ”

Saying that, Liu Xie bowed and retreated, and when he came to the door, Liu Hong's voice sounded again: "What you want, I will ask Jian Shuo to give you ......."

"Thank you, Father!"

For Liu Xie, Liu Hong's voice at this time was like a heavenly sound.

............

"Your Majesty, these two princes ......"

When Liu Xie walked away, Jian Shuo asked impatiently.

"The throne was meant to be passed on to him, and he was right, I owed it to me." Liu Hong said with some self-deprecation.

"The slave is afraid that the He family will come to the Dong family again, Your Majesty should not forget Huo Guang......"

"I naturally know that I just saw that Xie'er's reaction didn't look like Dong's instructions, even if it was really Dong's instructions, so what?"

Liu Hong smiled contemptuously, as if he had exhausted his strength from the previous conversation, and then his eyes were closed.

Looking at Liu Hong, Jian Shuo thought that Liu Hong was terminally ill and his brain was a little confused.

Who knew that after a moment, Liu Hong's voice sounded again in the hall: "The Dong family is destroyed between the palms of Xie'er's hands, I am afraid that I underestimated this son before......"
