Chapter 16: Above the Court

It was cold and dark, and a strong feeling of dizziness and vomiting sprung up, and there was a dull pain in his chest, and Liu Mingyi sat up from the ground in a daze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Brother, you're finally awake!"

Two steely arms clamped on Liu Mingyi's body, making him almost unable to breathe.

"Let go of me!"

Liu Mingyi struggled to push the other party away, but his body that had just woken up did not obey the call, and his arm did not have any strength at all, so he had to plead.

The owner of the arm finally came to his senses, he hurriedly let go of the other party's body, and Liu Mingyi, who had recovered his freedom, felt a sense of relief in his body, so he lay back on the ground, but the ground was cold and damp, and a strong musty smell made his head sober a lot.

"What is this place?"

Turning his head to look to the side, the muscular Wang Dazhui was half-sitting there, his memory was completely interrupted after he was knocked unconscious, and he didn't know what happened after that.

"In Xu Du's prison."

The voice was a little low, and the mention of this place made Wang Dazhui lose his spirit all of a sudden.

A fierce man rose from the ground, and in front of him was a fence made of rough wood, and in the center of the fence was a fence gate that required bending to enter and exit, and a heavy iron chain was wrapped between the fence and the door, and an iron lock that looked extremely strong locked the iron chain tightly together. Looking around, except for the front fence, there are thick earthen walls on three sides, and only one extremely narrow window opens at a height that is difficult for people to touch. Through the window, Liu Mingyi saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, it was already late at night, and it seemed that he had been asleep all day.

"Hey, your body is still spinning around like this, don't you want to die?"

The unfamiliar voice suddenly came into the ears of Liu Mingyi, who was looking out through the window, and he was scared for a while, and he looked down at the sound, only to see a figure lying on his side in the dark corner, and he didn't notice it at all just now because of the light.

"Look at it, I don't remember Lao Tzu so soon!"

The figure said unhappily, and Liu Mingyi looked at the blacksmith king sledgehammer in surprise.

"Oh, he's the storyteller I said!"

Wang Dazhui explained, but Liu Mingyi was even more puzzled.

"He's coming in."

"Yes, your memory is really good, but I can't blame you, who told you to faint at that time!"

The figure stood up from the corner of the wall, and he walked in front of Liu Mingyi.

Through the moonlight through the window, Liu Mingyi finally recognized who the other party was, wasn't it the tall and thin man who was standing in the crowd and saying that he understood the Hun dialect!

"Why did you come in too?"

Liu Mingyi was even more puzzled, he had the impression that this person didn't seem to have much to do with the whole thing.

"Heyβ€”don't mention it!" The man sighed, his expression suddenly became a little lonely, "It's all my fault for this, when the officers and soldiers came, they asked who else was involved in this matter, I thought the other party was to reward the righteous and courageous behavior, so I volunteered to stand up, who knows......"

Puff –

Liu Mingyi couldn't hold back his laughter, isn't this a typical example of not dying without death, he patted the other party's shoulder and looked at the man with sympathy.

At the same time, above the court hall in the palace of Xudu, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was yawning and looking at the arguing court officials in front of him.

Several of the guards under the envoys of the king of the Huns were beaten by a few flat-headed people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the angry envoys threatened that if the murderers were not severely punished, then the iron cavalry of the Huns would definitely set foot on the Central Plains. So the small brawl became a political event with great impact, and Cao Cheng convened his ministers in the main hall to discuss the matter overnight. But Liu Xie is not happy, the ministers can't discuss this matter, why do you want to let him, a puppet emperor who has no right to speak, observe, at this time on weekdays, he and the harem concubines have a good time to enjoy the moon, in his opinion, it's just a few flat-headed people, just kill it, the Hun envoys don't just want this result, and it is a big deal to delay him and his concubine to do the cloud-shaking thing.

The air was magnificent, Cao Cao, who was dressed in a big red casual robe, stood in front of the dragon case, his eyes constantly scanned below, and the ministers knelt there respectfully.

"Do you know about the things of the day?"

With a long voice, Cao Cao asked with a serious face.

"Chiya!"

Everyone answered.

"Now that it is known, what do the people think?"

Cao Cao asked again.

"Prime Minister, the minister thinks that the request made by the Hun envoy is really inappropriate."

With his sleeves flying, a gray-haired middle-aged man walked out and said, Above the court, in front of the Son of Heaven, the etiquette that should be done is a lot of one step.

"Oh, Wen Ruo, what's wrong?"

Cao Cao looked at this person, and his serious expression eased slightly. That person was none other than Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, one of Cao Cao's important advisers.

"The Huns, the barbarians of the border wilderness, the dignified man, the **** state, how can it be easy to show weakness. The words of the envoy today are really coercive and cannot be allowed. ”

After Xun Yu finished speaking, all the officials heard the sound of approval from time to time, and Cao Cao also deeply agreed when he heard it.

"If this is wrong, according to your words, won't it hurt the prime minister's big thing."

There is another person in the ranks, this person has a different appearance, and all the officials are black, only this person is different.

"According to my words, how can you ruin the prime minister's big thing?"

Xun Yu asked loudly.

"Fengxiao, how can Wen Ruo's words hurt me, please try to say it."

Cao Cao moved his gaze to the man, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth smiled, just because this person was another adviser that his subordinates relied on, this person's surname was Guo Mingjia, and he was deeply loved by Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, may I ask Prime Minister, what is the prime minister's enemy today?"

Guo Jia did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Today's enemies are none other than Yuan Shao in Hebei, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

Cao Cao thought for a while and immediately replied, Xuzhou Lu Bu has just been flat, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu have also surrendered, and Cao Cao's power has increased by nearly half for a while, which makes him arrogant.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, but there is still an enemy in the north that must be guarded against!"

Guo Jia said.

"And an enemy? Hehe, please make it clear that Fengxiao is still here. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile.

"The Huns are the natural enemies of my Han Dynasty, since the beginning of Emperor Wu, there are wars from time to time, and they don't want to get rid of each other quickly, and when the Dong thief disaster country, move the capital to Chang'an, Luoyang withered, the northern gateway is wide open, the threat of the Huns is like a sword hanging over the head, and the prime minister thinks so."

Guo Jia admired and said.

"However, the threat of the Huns has always been engraved in my heart, and I will not forget it. What I have just said is a burning urgency. ”

Cao Cao's heart jumped suddenly, he completely forgot about this stubble, but at this time, everyone looked at him, how could he easily admit his mistake.

"The prime minister is wise, but if today's things are not removed, I am afraid that the fire will reach the body."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he walked back to sit down, he had already expressed his opinion, and the rest depended on how Cao Cao decided.

Cao Cao kept pacing, his eyes flashed with fierce light from time to time, the best thing to do now was to sacrifice the three people in prison in order to calm the anger of the Huns, but is it really that simple? Cao Cao did not forget how the people would feel if the Huns were murdered in the street and intended to rob three women. Besides, it just so happened that the three women were none other than his three beloved daughters, and he shouldn't have killed the three people in the prison in vain, what should he do about this matter, he was really in a dilemma, and suddenly he looked at one of the hundred officials sitting in the middle of the hundred officials, this person had a calm face, sitting like a mountain, it was Liu Bei Liu Xuande is also.

"Xuande Gong, what do you think?"

Although Cao Cao has been on guard against Liu Bei in his heart, he has to admit in his heart that this person is the one he most identifies with in his life.
