Under the left side of the Yellow House, Liu Xie, who was dressed in imperial attire, had a calm little face, and slowly stepped out of the car, followed by an old minister wearing a nine-fold crown and an old eunuch.

There are well-informed people among the heroes in the East, and when they saw the old minister and the eunuch, they were all moved, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi were even more pupils. Just because the old minister is the contemporary Yuan family head, the former Situ, and now Yuan Kui, who is now in the position of the Taifu, and the eunuch is the only old minister of the three dynasties who has a transcendent status in the Chinese Dynasty and a status above the ten permanent servants, Yuan Shao led the army into the palace that day and slaughtered all the eunuchs in the palace, but no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for him, which made him almost the only remaining figure in the entire Chinese Dynasty.

"The Son of Heaven is coming!" In the long cheers, Dong Zhuo and his subordinates all turned sideways and saluted respectfully, but only the Dongfang heroes looked at each other, although they had been mentally prepared, they still felt at a loss for a while.

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Kui first shouted angrily: "You are all Hanchen, why don't you worship when you see the Son of Heaven?" ”

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yu were silent when they saw Yuan Kui taking the lead, and the rest of the group also had many protégés of the Yuan family, and they also smiled bitterly. But Cao Cao had no scruples, he pretended to be stunned and said: "The Son of Heaven that Master Yuan refers to, I don't know which Son of Heaven it is?" ”

"Of course it's the Son of Heaven in front of this official!" Yuan Kui said coldly: "Dong Hou is the bloodline of the first emperor, Shi Hou is now missing, and it should be succeeded by Dong Hou!" Cao Cao, did you deliberately pretend to be crazy and stupid? ”

"Master Yuan is teaching a lesson!" Cao Cao's tone was respectful, but there was no respect on his face, and he said lightly: "However, in recent days, there has been a saying among the people and the army, I wonder if the boss has heard of it?" ”

"Folk rumors are all made up by crazy people, how did they get into the ears of sages?" Yuan Kui sneered: "It's okay if the official doesn't listen!" ”

"Of course Master Yuan is a sage!" Cao Cao was neither humble nor arrogant: "But you say that the likes of folk songs are all made up by crazy people? That's a bit disrespectful! ”

He also said in a cold tone: "It was precisely because Emperor Guangwu believed in the "Red Fu Fu" that he ruled the world accordingly. The grand wish of Dahan Zhongxing has been realized...... Now that you are sure that these are all fabrications, do you have any disrespect for the first emperor? ”

Although Cao Caozhi's statement is a bit rigid, he insists on comparing the legend that has just spread near the imperial capital with Liu Xiu's starting proverbs, but once it involves the first emperor, it is tantamount to a slap in the face, and Yuan Kui is speechless.

"Hahaha!" Behind Dong Zhuo, a feminine laugh sounded: "Cao Mengde is good at arguing, but there is a theory of yin and yang, and there is a distinction between truth and falsehood. The first emperor was discerning. It's not that those who come don't refuse, so that there is a basis for advancing and retreating, and it will eventually become a great cause. It can be seen that among the many proverbs and rumors, everything is not credible, and even more extraordinary people can recognize their essence! ”

This person's casual words, but they were very good, first of all, Yuan Kui's suspicion of great disrespect, because even the first emperor did not believe every legend and prophecy; secondly, through the light and irony of the first emperor. The gullibles about Dong Hou are just a group of ordinary people!

The Dongfang heroes were all shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at the person who spoke out. I saw that the man was only in his twenties, and his face was beautiful. Dressed as a civil official, he was showing a faint smile.

"Who's the driver?" Cao Cao habitually narrowed a pair of slender eyes and looked at the man.

"Brother Lao Mengde has asked!" The man bowed his hand slightly, and said happily: "The next official is Li Ru." Now living in the position of Lang Zhongling! ”

The group suddenly realized that this person was Dong Zhuo's other beloved son-in-law, Li Ru, known as the first wise man in Dong Jun. I heard that this person is one scholar and one martial artist with Lu Bu, and he seems to be the second leader under Dong Zhuo.

"It turned out to be Brother Li!" Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "Although Brother Li is reasonable. But isn't it for nothing? What's more, now this legend is related to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and the safety of the country? If Brother Li recognizes himself as the first emperor, of course, he can veto it. Otherwise......"

He smiled: "You and I both recognize Hanchen, it is better to be cautious about state affairs, don't become a sinner through the ages because of a momentary mistake, what face will you have under Jiuquan to see the first emperor in the future?" ”

Although Cao Cao's remarks were forceful, they often involved state affairs and the former emperor, which made everyone present feel difficult to refute.

Hearing Cao Cao's remarks, "You and I both recognize ourselves as Hanchen, or are we cautious about state affairs...... all of a sudden, both sides of the meeting had strange and strange mixed feelings, as if the confrontation between the two armies formed by dozens of days of fighting and killing and wounding more than 100,000 people will completely depend on the current orthodox dispute between the two armies.

When Li Ru heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "What Meng De said is very true! At that time, Uncle Wu used the name of Zigong to slander Confucius, but unexpectedly, he achieved the holy name of Confucius and the virtuous name of Zigong...... It can be seen that whenever rumors spread, we should try to make the water come to light, so that those who are clear will be clear, and those who are turbid will be turbid, and the world will know for themselves! ”

When Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others heard this, they were all awe-inspiring in their hearts, listening to Li Ru's tone, they were confident about proving the identity of Dong Hou's prince, did they really have any ironclad evidence that has survived to this day?

Cao Cao said tentatively: "Listening to what Brother Li said, Brother Li seems to have empirical evidence? ”

"That's not it, where does the lower official have any empirical evidence......" Li Ru shook his head and said.

Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart, and the best way to prove his kinship was to recognize his relatives by dripping blood, but the first emperor had passed away, so of course this plan could not be implemented. What he was most afraid of was that the first emperor left some unknown secrets, which were held by Dong Zhuo's side. However, listening to Li Ru's tone at this time, it is obviously not.

He was about to laugh, but he heard Li Ru say again: "It's just that there is no lower official!" Others do! ”

Cao Cao was taken aback again and said, "Who is that person?" ”

"It's the old minister!" Master Du, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and said in a dumb voice: "The evidence that can prove that today's son is the bloodline of the first emperor is on the old minister!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked. Even Yuan Shao couldn't help but tremble: "Is Lord Du's words true? Why don't you show it to the face? ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Master Du turned around and respectfully took out a jade box from the car of the Son of Heaven, took out a roll of white silk from it and shook it open.

When everyone saw it, they all said "huh".

But I saw that on the white silk was a young king about ten years old, with gold and twelve strings of white jade beads, and a handsome and immature face revealed a majestic aura, and its appearance was lifelike. It's like Liu Xie.

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Lord Du, please forgive me for being rude, you took out the portrait of Dong Hou, what kind of evidence is this?" ”

"Shut up!" Master Du said sharply: "Open your eyes and see, who is the person in the painting?" ”

Yuan Shu's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly said in shock: "Could it be?" This, this is the image of the first emperor? ”

Everyone was stunned and turned their gaze to the portrait again. Sure enough, under a closer look, although the young emperor in the painting has a similar appearance to Liu Xie, he is a little more handsome, and his face is a little longer. It seems to be enough for Liu Hong's appearance as an adult.

Yuan Shao was like five thunderbolts, and said in a lost voice: "This painting, where did this painting come from?" ”

Cao Cao also felt dizzy, but he still argued strongly: "Don't you know that it was temporarily forged based on Dong Hou's appearance?" The first emperor has passed away, how do you prove that this is the appearance of the first emperor when he was a teenager? ”

"Presumptuous!" Master Du took a few steps forward, held the portrait high, and shouted: "Take a closer look at the year of this painting, as well as the payment of the person who painted it...... With such ironclad evidence, he dares to speak lightly. Are you willing to be the unfaithful and unrighteous? ”

Everyone stared again, only to see that the white silk had been slightly yellowed, obviously the age of experience was not short, and the name of the person who made the payment. It was even more moving for everyone.

"Liu Bao!" Someone exclaimed: "Could it be that the former Shu County Taishou?" ”

"Not bad!" Master Du nodded and said: "In the first year of Yongkang, when the first emperor first ascended to the great treasure, he was eleven years old, and this painting was painted by Liu Bao for the first emperor, and the old minister was not talented. Who's the one who saw it! ”

Hearing Lord Dudu's words, the Dongfang heroes were dumbfounded together. This Liu Baonai is one of the most outstanding painters in the past 100 years, and is famous for his meticulous painting skills. One of his representative works, "Yunhan Tu", everyone feels the heat wave on their faces, and his other work, "North Wind Map", people feel the cool air hitting people when they see it. It can be seen that his painting skills have reached the pinnacle.

Since this portrait of the first emperor is from Liu Bao's hand, and it is so similar to Dong Hou, the kinship between them has been undoubtedly confirmed.

For a while, everyone in the Dongfang group was as pale as earth, unable to speak, only listening to Dong Zhuo's sneer.

Yuan Shao was also stunned when he saw Cao Cao, obviously he had no power to resist, and he couldn't help but think about it, and he suddenly said: "Even if it is the bloodline of the first emperor? Now what we want to discuss is not who is the emperor, but how to protect my Han country! ”

"Yuan Shao, what do you mean by this?" Dong Zhuo said angrily: "The identity of the Son of Heaven is clear, how dare you say such a rebellious statement?" ”

"It's not hard to make us bow down!" Yuan Shao laughed wildly: "However, Your Majesty first has to agree to me and wait!" ”

"Say!" Liu Wei finally spoke, he still had a small face, but it showed the majesty of the Son of Heaven: "I remember that you and others have all contributed to the society, if you are willing to get lost and know your way back, why don't I want to achieve a good reputation under the control of Kuanren?" ”

"Your Majesty, please ......" Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted at Dong Zhuo's halberd: "Punish this national thief in public, and listen to the world in the right way!" ”

Dong Zhuo's face was pale, but he unexpectedly endured it, obviously because he finally made Dongfang Qunxiong admit the identity of the Son of Heaven, and he was unwilling to show his domineering face in public, so as not to give someone a handle.

"Yuan Shao!" Liu Wei frowned: "You keep accusing Dong Qing of being a national thief, but do you have real evidence?" Otherwise, with his current status as a Grand Master, you are blatantly slandering Shangguan! ”

He glanced at Dong Zhuo beside him, and said with a smile: "A while ago, Cai Yong also wrote a special article "Recommending Taiwei Dong Zhuo from Begging for Redundant Chapters", its writing is beautiful, concise and to the point, I still remember a lot of ....... Taiwei Hou Zhuo, from outside the Eastern Tu Fengji, righteous and angry, went to Beijing, first Chen cheap, the list of treacherous and slippery group feelings, the rhetoric is intense, and the feeling is spiritual. The elite soldiers and tiger ministers inherited the outstanding power, fought against the ugly, and missed the moment, and there were no relics...... Solve the danger of the country's sowing and transcendence, save the disaster of trillions of people, and then depose the stubborn murderer, establish a sage, the heart of heaven is good, and all the people are blessed. ”

Dong Zhuo listened, and his face was full of smugness. And when the Dongfang heroes heard the sentences such as "List of treacherous and slippery group feelings" and "Fight against the ugly", their faces twitched together, and their anger could not be suppressed.

"What a coincidence!" Yuan Shaomu said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty knows?" Zang Hong, the son of Taiyuan Taishou Zang Min and Guangling County Gong, also wrote an article for Dong Taishi, and listened to his subordinates recite it for His Majesty......"

I only heard him read angrily: "The thief Dong Zhuo inherited the slight of the Han family, the weight of the armor soldiers, the Lingyue Imperial City, crossed the dynasty, and raised the young master." The more moved to Qin, the courtiers were brutalized, the loyal and good were beheaded, the palace was burned, the palace people were disturbed, the tombs were excavated, the ghosts and gods were abused, and the evil emperor was killed, and the soil was filthy. The gods are resentful, and there is nothing to rely on. Trillions of people wept blood, and there was no accusation. Virtuous people, heartbroken, righteous people work hard, clouds and fog, salty desire to resign crimes, bow to heaven and punish ......."

Zang Hong's "Essay on Rebellion" was already written sharply and tensely, and Yuan Shao's voice was generous and passionate, and he recited the whole article with a majestic and majestic momentum. Those who heard it were like thousands of troops rushing to their faces, and they were all moved.

Someone among the Oriental heroes blurted out: "Well said! ”

And the generals of Dong Jun glared angrily together, and someone roared angrily: "What a gut! ”

"Is this the only crime of the thief?" Yuan Shao's eyes soared, and he looked at Dong Zhuo who was breathing fire on the opposite side without blinking. He shouted: "Your Majesty, please look behind you, so that you can take a look at the true face of the soldiers and horses under Dong Thief...... In the past, Han Sui rebelled against thieves and troubled Liangzhou, and then trapped the imperial capital, which made the first emperor feel painstaking. And how many brave soldiers loyal to the Han Dynasty were spilled on the battlefield? ”

"Now, these Liangzhou rebels are actually in collusion with Dong Thief, and they have been able to enter the imperial capital in a grand manner?" He almost gritted his teeth and said, "The Immortal Emperor Heroic Spirit is not far away. Your Majesty, how can you be so discriminate between loyalty and treachery? ”

Looking at Yuan Shao's fierce gaze that almost wanted to choose someone to devour, and listening to him reiterate the old incident of Han Sui's siege of Luoyang, Liu Xie finally showed a trace of timidity, and couldn't help but shrink back, not daring to say more.

"The loyal ministers and righteous men of our generation of Han, if you can't clear the king's side and restore my Han artifact ......" Yuan Shaomeng gritted his teeth and said: "I can only set up another lord and revitalize the rivers and mountains!" I believe that the emperors of the past dynasties will silently praise our trip! ”

With such earth-shattering words, not only Dong Zhuo's side was furious, but even the Dongfang heroes who didn't know the inside story were also changed.

"Yuan Benchu, you have finally come to the end of the dagger!" Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, you just can't see my Dong Zhuo's miraculous achievements in supporting the new monarch!" Or another Lord? The direct bloodline of the first emperor is here, who else do you dare to make the emperor? ”

"What is the use of the direct bloodline of the first emperor?" Since Yuan Shao had completely torn his face, he simply didn't care about it anymore, and he said contemptuously: "According to what you say, then Emperor Guangwu is not qualified to inherit the throne?" But as long as the Liu family is bloodlined, we can choose a person with good character and outstanding ability to set things right! ”

"Righteous men!" He raised his arms and shouted, "Do you say yes or no? ”

The heroes of the East realized together, if Liu Xie was allowed to inherit the throne, they were afraid that everyone present would end up as a chaotic minister and thief, and they all shouted: "That's right!" ”

"What do you mean by that man of good character and outstanding ability?" Dong Zhuo is also an old treacherous person, he suddenly understood: "It's Liu Yu, right?" ”

"So what?" Yuan Shu sneered: "Liu Yu is the queen of King Gong of the East China Sea, handsome, generous and benevolent, during his reign in Youzhou, even the people made up songs to praise his merits, how can he not be the emperor?" ”

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu in amazement, and for a moment he didn't understand Yuan Shu's true thoughts. It must be known that when he and his subordinates of the Heavenly Stem Branch secretly agreed to support Liu Yu, how could he have discussed with Yuan Shu in advance? Why did Yuan Shu know that Liu Yu had a very close relationship with him, but he still supported him as the emperor? Don't......

Dong Zhuo's fierce eyes like copper bells were murderous: "It's really a group of chaotic ministers and thieves!" The orthodox son of heaven is here, and you dare to say that you are abolished in person? So how can Liu Yu be virtuous? You borrow him a gut, and then see if it is his turn to be the emperor? ”

"At least it's his turn to be the auxiliary!" Cao Cao sneered: "Liu Yu is at least famous, benevolent and loyal...... Ten thousand times stronger than your butcher's name! What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to be ranked as a master? ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart suddenly moved, if he couldn't successfully promote Liu Yu as the emperor, at least he could be pushed to become the first assistant, as long as Dong Zhuo could be driven away, then the affairs of the court and government were not under his control? What's more, Yuan Shu took the initiative to stand up for Liu Yu so much, if there was any dirt between the two, wouldn't he lose more than he gained?

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty once said that as long as you can clear the king's side, your subordinates are still willing to serve you as the emperor...... Please immediately deprive Dong Zhuo of all his honors and summon Liu Yu to Beijing as an auxiliary minister! ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Xie, who was at a loss, and finally rushed straight to his head with a burst of blood, and he roared angrily: "With Liu Yu, that guy is also worthy of replacing me as the first assistant?" You let him stand in front of me and see if he is qualified? ”

Yuan Shao was about to sneer at each other, when he suddenly heard a person not far behind him say lightly: "Yes, Liu Yu is indeed not qualified enough...... And you, Dong Zhuo, are even more insufficient! (To be continued......)
