In July of the first year of Jian'an (A.D. 196), Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xu County.

Under Cao Cao's intensified operation, the palace has begun to take shape. The emperor and the hundred officials are now able to go to the early dynasty normally, and everything is gradually returning to the old system.

In today's court, no official dares to be absent. Because everyone knows that today Emperor Liu Xie is going to personally interrogate Han Yin, who was escorted by Lu Bu.

Under the push of the guards, Han Yin was dragged into the hall and knelt down.

He is already stinky now, and since Lu Bu tied him up, until today, the rope on his body has not been untied at all.

It is conceivable that the body with poor blood is naturally not even able to walk, let alone go to the toilet.

The ministers who were closer to him couldn't help but cover their noses with their hands.

Han Yin lowered his head, timidly peeked left and right, and cautiously glanced ahead.

On the dragon chair, Liu Xie looked at him expressionlessly.

He hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Who's kneeling down there?" Liu Xie finally spoke.

"Back to Your Majesty, the guilty minister Han Yin, is ...... It was a subordinate of General Yuan Shu of Zuo. Han Yin was afraid that he would say something wrong.

But he was wrong.

Liu Xie sneered and snorted and said, "General Zuo? That's Li Dao's rebel bandit! ”

"Yes, yes...... It's a minister who deserves to die...... Damn it...... It's the post-general. Although Han Yin knelt, he was still trembling.

"This general is ......" Dong Cheng asked Liu Xie with his eyes, and his meaning was very clear, General Hou was Dong Zhuofeng.

Liu Xie just waved his hand and didn't let him continue to speak.

For Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie only has more regret and sadness.

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and didn't show it, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart.

can make the emperor look lost, and Dong Zhuo is not in vain.

However, as the emperor, Liu Xie naturally couldn't be too happy and angry, so he immediately restrained his mood and regained his majesty.

"Why are you being escorted here?"

"The criminal was originally ordered to reprimand Lu Bu, but who knew that he turned his face, so he escorted the criminal here."

"I want to know what crime you have committed."

"I ......" Han Yin almost cried out without grievance.

He's just an errand runner, what's his sin. But the emperor asked, not to mention that it was more troublesome.

"Sinner...... A sinner is guilty. ”

"Poof." Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, there are people in this world who don't know what crime they have committed but insist on saying that they are guilty.

Many ministers were also amused by Han Yin, an unlucky person.

Han Yin saw the emperor smile, thought it was okay, and smiled.

But laughter is not always funny.

Liu Xie suddenly slapped his palm on top of Long An, and with a snap, Han Yin hurriedly knocked his head on the ground in fright.

"Bastard! To this day, you don't even know what you're guilty of! Your biggest sin is to follow Yuan Shu! ”

"Yes...... Yes yes...... Sinners deserve to die. ”

Liu Xie calmed down a little and continued: "I returned to the east this time, and I went through hardships with hundreds of officials. He Yuan Shu was born in a famous family, and he was favored by the emperor, and he didn't think about leading the army to the king, but he was only entangled with Lu Bu for the small profits in front of him! What do you do to such courtiers? ”

"The crime of capital punishment! Death penalty! Han Yin could only keep kowtowing.

"If you know the death penalty, why should you say it?" Liu Xie said coldly.

"Your Majesty's mercy! Your Majesty is gracious! Sinner...... The criminal is willing to denounce that Yuan Shu and make meritorious contributions! ”

"Oh? What are you going to sue him? ”

"That Yuan Shu secretly built a palace in Shouchun, in a vain attempt to claim the emperor's self-reliance!"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers were a little surprised, and they peeked at Liu Xie one after another.

However, Liu Xie is still so calm.

"Hehe, he Yuan Shu knew that I had arrived in Xu County, but he refused to return the jade seal of the country to the imperial court, and his heart was clearly revealed, so why do you need to say it again, it's just ......"

Liu Xie changed his words and looked at Han Yin meaningfully.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer below. Because this Han Yin is really ridiculous, he actually cut off his own way of life.

Sure enough, Liu Xie smiled slightly and said: "Han Yin, since he has the intention of usurping rebellion, you are under him, and you are also a chaotic minister." I have to kill you. ”

"No...... No, no...... The sinner knows his mistake! The sinner knows his mistake! Please be gracious, Your Majesty! ”

Han Yin kowtowed as he spoke, and there was already a trace of blood on the ground.

Liu Xie finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the guard at the door: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Drag it down and cut it! ”

When Han Yin, who was crying wolf, was dragged away, the ministers looked at the ground with disdain.

This Han Yin has peed his pants!

"Your Majesty," Taiwei Yang Biao came out and said, "Yuan Shu has been disobedient, so he should get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Dong Cheng also said, "If you wait for him to do something, the world will definitely be in chaos again." ”

"Hmm......" Liu Xie pondered slightly and glanced at Cao Cao.

But at this time, Cao Cao just stood with a smile on his face.

"This matter must be considered in the long run, and we will be here this morning. By the way, Cao Aiqing stayed. ”

……

Cao Cao made great contributions to welcoming and moving the capital, so the ministers didn't think much about it, and they all retired.

At this time, there were only two people left in the main hall, him and Liu Xie.

"Aiqing," Liu Xie got up and came to Cao Cao's side, "Taiwei Fang proposed to crusade against Yuan Shu, why are you snickering?" ”

"Your Majesty. The ministers just thought that the ministers were a little unfounded. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Although Yuan Shu is good at soldiers, he doesn't know how to sympathize with his subordinates, and he is even more **** to the people under his rule. Such an unpopular person, even if he has the intention to usurp and rebel, how can he gain power? Moreover, he wanted to be the emperor, but he made enemies on all sides, and Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and his ministers all had a holiday with him. Such unscrupulous people are not to be worried. ”

"Heh, Aiqing can see it. But such a mediocre minister...... Alas. Liu Xie sighed and said.

After the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, as long as the hundred officials heard that anyone threatened the Han family, they would be like facing a great enemy, and the people would be panicked.

"Then in Aiqing's opinion, how should I be?"

"After all, Yuan Shu's usurpation has not been done, and it is useless to ask for it, but he will be slandered as a faint king by people who are also disobedient. At this time, His Majesty should only raise soldiers, accumulate grain and grass, and strengthen the court. If Yuan Shu really usurped the rebellion, how could other rebellious ministers and thieves help Yuan Shu when they saw that His Majesty's imperial authority was still the same and the Han family was as prosperous as ever? ”

"Hahahaha!" Liu Xie smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Since Dong Zhuo's death, I thought that there would be no such virtuous minister in the world!" ”

"Your Majesty," Cao Cao didn't feel happy after hearing this, "I respectfully ask Your Majesty not to compare me to Dong Zhuo." ”

"Why?" Liu Xie was surprised.

"Dong Zhuo's way, the minister does not agree. Dong Zhuo is to decide everything for His Majesty, and the minister expects that His Majesty is a great talent, and the minister is only His Majesty's spear, and he is ordered by the king to sweep the world! Cao Cao knelt down on one knee and arched his hand.

Liu Xie was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Cao to think like this.

The next moment, he helped Cao Cao up.

Cao Cao felt that Liu Xie's hands were trembling, and he hurriedly raised his head to look, and there were tears in Liu Xie's eyes!

"Your Majesty, what are you ......?"

"I hereby swear to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty that I will be a holy king, work for the benefit of the people, and bring peace to the four seas! I won't let Aiqing down. ”

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao was also a little excited.

As a courtier, what could be happier than meeting a Ming Jun?

Gaozu's bloodline is still there! God bless the great man forever!

————————————————

However, it is obvious that some people in the world are not so open-minded.

"Brother Xuan, since Yuyin has decided to join us, then you should take on some responsibility." Zhang Feng said with one arm looking at the sky.

"Humph! I don't need to say it! Brother Xuan, is there anything I can do? Yu Yin glanced at Zhang Feng and asked Duan Xuan.

"Hehe, you've only been here for a few days, so you don't have to be so tired." Duan Xuan smiled and politely refused.

"Alas~ On the first day I came, Brother Xuan asked me to clean up my residence, this man and woman are really different." Zhang Feng's current style is really a bit of a scoundrel.

"Brother Xuan!" The sound was a little angry, and he shouted angrily.

Duan Xuan knew that Zhang Feng was just a little irritated because he had been making him wait, so he had to respond: "Actually, the way we make a living now is to contact the members of the night blades scattered in various counties, and kill people on behalf of their employers in exchange for money. ”

Yu Yin thought for a while, and then said happily: "Then I will also bear some of this." ”

"The girl's murderous intent is so heavy, why don't you learn from the little mandarin?" Zhang Feng provoked again.

"Whoosh!" Unable to bear it any longer, she finally picked up a stone and threw it at him.

Of course, this is of no use to Zhang Feng, who is known for his speed.

As soon as he stepped forward, he dodged the stone and sat up.

"Could it be that I was talking about your sore spots?" Zhang Feng smiled maliciously.

To Duan Xuan's surprise, Yu Yin was actually ...... at this moment Speechless.

This girl doesn't know how to cook at all!

"Poof!" Duan Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Xuan!" Yuyin blushed and said angrily.

"Okay, Brother Feng, don't tease her," Duan Xuan waved his hand, "You don't need to do those dirty work." ”

The dirty work in Duan Xuan's mouth is, of course, not cooking, but killing.

"Then I'm ......"

"The three of us, the soldiers in Xiapi City all know each other. Ji'er and Lan'er are too young, so I want to send you to meet with Zheng'er in the future. ”

Yuyin nodded directly in agreement.

"Also, today we will spend our last night here, and tomorrow we will set out and go to the territory of Xiapi to find another place to live. First, it is easier to contact Zheng'er, and second, I heard Ye Feng in the south of Xuzhou say that Yuan Shu seems to have made a move, and we may be able to take the opportunity to act. ”

Hearing that he could do something to Lu Bu again, Zhang Feng immediately became excited, "He wants to send troops to attack Xuzhou?" ”

"Although the news has been passed on several times, with Yuan Shu's personality, it must be true."

Zhang Feng subconsciously touched his hanging right sleeve, which was empty.

Duan Xuan knew that his scar would not be good unless Lu Bu died.

"Also, Yuyin, do you know where the jade tapir is now?"

Hearing this, Yu Yin's expression suddenly darkened.

What Duan Xuan asked was another of Yuliu's pro-disciples, and more importantly, the people in the upper echelons of the main hall knew that he was the son of Han Yuan and Yuliu.

It was only to avoid suspicion that he lied that Yuliu picked it up and followed her surname.

"Brother Xuan...... Don't go to him again," Yu Yin said with some sadness: "Although others are in Xuzhou, they ...... It's like a wasted person. ”
