Chapter 454: A Rare Pilgrimage

Zhou Yu accompanied Liu Xie to the palace, and when he saw Lu Bu and the generals waiting there, Liu Xie was a little stunned.

He hadn't figured out what Lu Bu wanted to do.

Seeing Liu Xie coming, Lu Bu greeted him.

He bowed to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, please come to the court." ”

"Linchao?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment: "General Lu means ......"

"Xu Du has been taken by our army, and Cao Cao has fled from here." Lu Bu said: "From now on, please ask Your Majesty to come to the court every day, whether it is in Xudu or in Pengcheng in the future, Your Majesty cannot lose the duty of the dynasty." ”

Since coming to Xudu, Liu Xie has hardly been in the court.

He can't interfere in all military affairs, and the only use is to issue some edicts when Cao Cao is in need.

For Liu Xie, what a luxury it is to be in the dynasty.

Having been suppressed by Lu Bu's power before, Liu Xie had already thought about what he would look like in the future.

Originally, he didn't have any expectations for Linchao, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to let him listen to the government at this time.

"It's good to have General Lu in military and political affairs." Before he could figure out what Lu Bu meant, Liu Xie didn't dare to come to the court easily, he said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, as a great man, has not forgotten to rescue me from Cao Cao's coercion with a large army, and has made a great contribution. I've said before......"

"I didn't say it in the court, and I didn't issue an edict, even if I said it a hundred times, it was useless." Lu Bu smiled and said to Liu Xie: "If Your Majesty is really sincere in rewarding you, please go to the court to announce it." ”

"By General Lu." Liu Xie, accompanied by Lu Bu and a group of generals and strategists, walked into the palace hall, which was almost unused.

Walking into the main hall, Liu Xie actually looked around as if he was very novel, everything was so strange to him.

"Hasn't Your Majesty been here?" Accompanying Liu Xie, Lu Bu asked.

"I've been here." Liu Xie said: "When I arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao asked people to build the palace. I had been here to see it when it was first completed, but I haven't been here since. ”

"Your Majesty, as the Ninety-Five, isn't Cao Cao allowed to come to the court?" Lu Bu asked Liu Xie again.

"He never mentioned letting me come to court." Liu Xie sighed and said to Lu Bu: "I can have today thanks to General Lu. Later, when I go to court, I will really reward him. ”

Asked Liu Xie to sit down on the throne, and Lu Bu beckoned everyone to sit down in order.

After everyone sat down, Liu Xie said: "I have been coerced by Cao Cao for many years, first Concubine Dong was killed, and now the queen has also been burned to death by Cao thieves. Fortunately, General Lu led the rebel army into Xudu and rescued me from the upside down. I am coming to the court today, and I want to reward General Lu. ”

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Xie spoke, Zhou Yu stood up and said to him: "General Lu led the soldiers to break through Xudu, in fact, Your Majesty also knows that in terms of military strength, our army is even inferior to Cao Cao. General Lu took such a risk, just thinking that His Majesty was poisoned by Cao Cao and couldn't bear it. In the past, in Pengcheng, whenever the general mentioned His Majesty, he would always sigh for a long time, saying that as a Han minister, he could not save His Majesty from fire and water, which was really a sin as a courtier. The general is righteous and high, no matter how wise and brave he is, he is the only one in the world. More importantly, the general was loyal to the Han Dynasty and His Majesty, and the ministers had the courage to implore His Majesty to canonize General Lu as the general of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Rong of the world commanded the soldiers and horses of the world! ”

Zhou Yu opened his mouth to ask Liu Xie to canonize Lu Bu as a general, and he also wanted to hang the title of Yuanrong in the world, which was obviously premeditated a long time ago.

Liu Xie's heart was not too happy, but he also understood that these were Lu Bu's subordinates sitting in the court now.

Just like when Cao Cao was in charge of the government, Cao Cao's people were all in contact, and when Cao Cao's interests were involved, he dared to say half a word?

"General Zhou is right." Liu Xie nodded and looked at Lu Bu: "General Lu listens to the seal." ”

Lu Bu got up and walked to the middle of the hall, he clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Xie: "The last general!" ”

"General Lu is righteous and thin, wise and profound, and has the courage of ten thousand people." Liu Xie said: "I am also loyal to the Han and me. Dare to turn the tide and defeat the Cao thief when I am hanging upside down, and rescue me from the coercion of the Cao thief. I decided to follow General Zhou's suggestion, and made General Lu the general of the Han Dynasty, added the title of Yuan Rong in the world, and gave him the title of King Chu, hereditary replacement. The general is not thankful yet? ”

Bowing to Liu Xie, Lu Bu said: "The ministers are grateful!" ”

After receiving the title, Lu Bu then said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, this crusade against Cao Cao, everyone under the command of the ministers has also made countless meritorious achievements. The ministers have already made a decision, and the merits of the people and the officials recommended by the ministers to reward them are all on it, and your majesty is invited to take a look. ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu took out a letter from his arms, held it in both hands and sent it to Liu Xie.

Personally taking the fold from Lu Bu's hand, Liu Xie hurriedly browsed it and asked Lu Bu, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The minister will ask for this matter first, and other matters will be submitted to His Majesty later." Lu Bu replied.

"That's right." Putting the fold on the table, Liu Xie said: "I also plan to give the King of Chu the Three Tin Axe and Go out with the Son of Heaven, how about it?" ”

"I just rescued Your Majesty from Cao Cao, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers dare not use it." Lu Bu said to Liu Xie: "The honor guard costs a lot, after all, Your Majesty doesn't go out much, but the minister has to be out often, and it is not appropriate to use the honor guard." Your Majesty's reward to the minister, the minister will keep it in mind. ”

Lu Bu rejected the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, which surprised Liu Xie.

From Lu Bu's behavior, Liu Xie could clearly see that he had the ambition to win the world, but he couldn't understand why he was rejected by him even though he had already given him the highest glory?

Lu Bu's refusal made Liu Xie feel a little uneasy. 、

He asked Lu Bu, "Does the King of Chu feel that I am not sincere?" ”

"Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, since you say it, of course, you have the sincerity of a soldier." Lu Bu replied: "The minister will never dare to have the slightest suspicion of His Majesty, but His Majesty's reward is too heavy, and the minister does not dare to accept it." ”

Liu Xie allowed Lu Bu to be the same as the Son of Heaven, if Lu Bu really accepted it, he would definitely provoke all kinds of heroes to crusade in the future.

The emperor is in his hands, and he dares to go out with the same honor guard as the emperor, saying that he has no intention of rebellion, and no one will believe it.

Lu Bu repeatedly excused himself, and Liu Xie also figured out the reason.

He said to Lu Bu: "The king of Chu has lofty ambitions, and my reward will be rejected. If it were Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, they would be eager to go out with me immediately. I understood the mind of the king of Chu, and I also understood the loyalty of the king of Chu. ”

"As a courtier, the minister does not dare to trespass in the slightest." Lu Bu replied: "Your Majesty has added a vassal as the king of Chu, and the honor guard is enough, and the minister will never dare to think about anything else." ”

"King Chu just said, there is still something to do, I don't know what it is?" Lu Bu refused to accept the reward of the same ceremony as the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xie did not dwell on this matter, so he diverted the topic.

Lu Bu replied: "The minister entered the palace earlier and saved His Majesty from Xiahou Yuan and the thieves. At that time, the minister also saw the body of Empress Fu. How can there be no harem by His Majesty's side? The ministers had the courage to implore His Majesty to issue an order to the old ministers of the Han Dynasty, and each family prepared a show girl to send to Pengcheng. The ministers will personally select the beauties of the harem, as well as the queens and concubines for His Majesty. ”

Lu Bu wanted to re-establish the harem for Liu Xie, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sad face: "I am under Cao Cao's coercion, unable to protect the queen and the imperial concubine, Cao Cao has repeatedly murdered my concubine, so that I really become a loner. The king of Chu has to make the capital, but he wants to re-elect the harem for me, how can my private affairs be compared with the major events in the world? Please also ask the king of Chu not to remember this matter. ”

"Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, should leave a bloody descendant for the Great Han." Lu Bu replied: "The ministers invited these things, but also for the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of the Han Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

Although it was for Liu Xie to welcome the concubine, Lu Bu's tone was that Liu Xie had to agree.

Liu Xie also knew that if he didn't agree, today's court meeting should not be dispersed.

He nodded and said to Lu Bu: "This matter is also handed over to the King of Chu, and I am still very relieved about the concubine that the King of Chu chose for me." ”

"Your Majesty allows the minister to do his best, and the minister will do his best." Lu Bu said: "Your Majesty can rest assured that the minister will never take advantage of the opportunity to send a woman from someone close to him into the palace. ”

Lu Bu said in public, Zhou Yu and others already understood.

The harem he planned to build for Liu Xie could not participate in government affairs at all.

All the show girls will be selected from the families of the great Han courtiers who do not obey his orders.

Those women from other families were sent to the palace, even if they were with Liu Xie, they would not pose any threat to Lu Bu.

After all, their family members are not under Lu Bu's command, and it is impossible for them to do something similar to the edict in secret.

If Liu Xie didn't have some moths in it, Lu Bu would definitely be respectful to him, and he could also enjoy the three thousand beauties of the harem, and the emperor days of the dynasty every day.

But once he moved his mind that he shouldn't move, Lu Bu would definitely not hesitate to take thunderous measures to let Liu Xie know how powerful he was.

The hearts of the people are like mirrors, but none of them will break it in public.

Liu Xie is not a stupid person, but Lu Bu's statement made him feel uneasy.

He said to Lu Bu: "I still leave the position of queen, I have the heart to marry the king of Chu, but unfortunately the king of Chu has no children under his knees......"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie felt that he had said the wrong thing.

Lu Bu didn't have no children, but he lost them all after the first battle of Xiapi.

Now there is no lady in the back house who has given birth to an heir for him.

"Your Majesty understands." Lu Bu replied: "The minister will definitely do his best to create a daughter with his wife, and wait until the adult marries His Majesty and becomes the queen of the Han Dynasty!" ”

When responding to Liu Xie, Lu Bu scoffed at this in his heart.

The crumbling Han Dynasty will be replaced sooner or later.

The daughter is left, and she will not be able to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen, to say the least.

Twelve or thirteen years later, it is impossible to say whether there is a big man in the world, how can his daughter marry the Han emperor in front of him, who is thoughtful but has no stamina to turn the tide?

muttered so much in his heart, but Lu Bu was thanking.

After receiving his reply, Liu Xie nodded with great satisfaction, and said to Lu Bu: "The queen of my harem, I still have to bother the king of Chu!" ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Bu said again: "There is another thing, the minister has to play. Cao Cao has coerced His Majesty for many years, and when the ministers were attacking Cao Cao, His Majesty issued many edicts, making the world's heroes crusade against me. Now the minister's situation is extremely delicate, and he also asks His Majesty to relieve the siege for the minister. ”

Lu Bu mentioned the edict issued by Liu Xie, Liu Xie chuckled in his heart, and quickly explained: "The edict issued at the beginning was coerced by Cao Cao. I never had the idea of crusading against the King of Chu, and even talked to Queen Fu in private from time to time, hoping that the King of Chu would defeat Cao Cao. ”

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how could the minister not understand." Lu Bu said to Liu Xie: "The minister just implored His Majesty to announce to the people of the world and withdraw those edicts. Then he issued an edict, counted Cao Cao's mistakes, and informed the world of everything His Majesty experienced in Xudu back then, so that everyone knew who was the real traitor, and who was the loyalty of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Needless to say." Liu Xie said with a straight face: "Cao Cao used deception to deceive me into agreeing to move the capital to Xuchang. Before I came here, he was still polite and polite, but not long after he arrived in Xuchang, he actually seemed to be a different person, and he also looked condescending when he talked to me. Later, Cao Cao even tried to murder me, if I wasn't still useful to him, I was afraid that he would have been killed long ago. ”

"What Your Majesty experienced back then, the minister understands in his heart." Lu Bu replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, from today onwards, no one will dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty, let alone be arrogant to Your Majesty." Even if the minister thinks that a person's merits are enough to be rewarded, he will discuss it carefully with His Majesty, and wait until His Majesty agrees before rewarding him. ”

Lu Bu's words were beautiful, but Liu Xie was muttering in his heart, what do you think that the merit is enough to be rewarded, and you will discuss it with him, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, to put it mildly, isn't it a list of rewards drawn up and announced the world through court discussions?

However, compared with being in Cao Cao's hands, Liu Xie can now sit high in the court and hold a court meeting in a decent manner, which is already a big breakthrough for him.

"I have already agreed to the matter of the King of Chu's invitation." Liu Xie said to Lu Bu: "Later, I will draft an edict to count Cao Cao's crimes and correct the name of the king of Chu. ”

Lu Bu petitioned Liu Xie to issue an edict to list Cao Cao's crimes, but he had been left with grievances in Cao Cao's hands, so Liu Xie had the slightest hesitation and immediately agreed.

"How can you ask Your Majesty to do such a trivial matter as drafting an edict?" Lu Bu said: "As long as Your Majesty allows it, the minister will order the master to draft it. ”

"Of course, it's nice to have someone do it for you." Liu Xie said: "There was a great chaos in the city before, and the attendants and maids in the palace didn't know where to go, so they asked the king of Chu to look for it on their behalf." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there was a mess before, and they shouldn't go far." Lu Bu replied: "The minister will send someone to look for it later." It's just those attendants and palace maids......"
