"This ......" Liu Xie was speechless, not knowing how to answer, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Fu Shou.

Since Liu Xie couldn't answer, Fu Shou couldn't scruple anymore, and only she stood up to answer for Liu Xie.

Fu Shou sighed lightly and said, "General Huangfu is worthy of being General Huangfu, you can finally see that Su Ziming still has some concerns about His Majesty." ”

Hearing that Empress Ti told the truth, Huangfu Song nodded, stroked his short beard and said: "It seems that Your Majesty's loyalty to this Su Ziming is still in the process of being tested, and this Su Ziming is also afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious of him, so he is on guard." ”

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Huangfu Aiqing is reasonable, and that's what I mean." ”

Huangfu Song was silent for a while, thoughtful.

Liu Xie and Fu Shou couldn't say anything, so they could only stand there and be silent with him, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Song said: "Although this Su Ziming is only a small Nanyang Taishou, his strength is far inferior to Dong Zhuo, and he is not as good as the princes of the Kwantung region, but he also has to guard against it, His Majesty must have a strong enough army, and must not completely rely on Su Ziming's protection." ”

"That's what I mean, that's why I'm looking forward to Emperor Aiqing coming to me as soon as possible." Liu Xie agreed.

Fu Shou also smiled and said: "Your Majesty means that only with the prestige and ability of General Huangfu can you recruit such an army loyal to Your Majesty for Your Majesty. ”

Huangfu Song arched his hand and said: "The minister has been fighting for the court all the year round, and he does have a little name, and he still has some influence in the Kanto region, if His Majesty trusts the minister, he can grant the minister a will, and the minister can go north with the order to recruit a loyal and brave man for His Majesty, and think that His Majesty will use it." ”

"Really, that's great!" Liu Xie immediately became excited.

Looking at Liu Xie's ecstatic appearance, a trace of imperceptible helplessness flashed in Fu Shou's eyes, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

At this moment, the eunuch outside the palace came to report, saying that Liu Biao's envoy from Xiangyang had arrived outside the palace and wanted to meet the Son of Heaven.

As soon as he heard that Liu Biao's envoy was coming, Liu Xie suddenly became a little nervous, and hurriedly said: "Queen, Liu Jingsheng's envoy is here, how should I deal with it." ”

Before Fu Shou could speak, Huangfu Song said sharply: "Your Majesty is the king, Liu Jingsheng is the minister, the courtier sent a messenger, what is there to be afraid of, Your Majesty just take out the majesty of the king, do what you have to do." ”

Liu Xie was "educated" by Huangfu Song, as if he had added a little confidence, so he cheered up, and sat on the dragon throne, his expression pretended to be majestic, and ordered the messenger to enter.

A moment later, Yi Zhi walked into the temple, bowed to the ground, and shouted long live.

"Let's be flat." Liu Xieqi's tone was not angry and arrogant, as if he already had a bit of the domineering aura of an emperor.

Yi Ji stood up, while expressing Liu Biao's greetings to the Son of Heaven, and on the other hand, quietly, all the important people present looked at it carefully.

After listening to him, Liu Xie flicked his hand and said lightly: "Uncle Jingsheng's loyalty, I know, after you go back, I will also greet him on behalf of me, and tell him to send the grain and grass as soon as possible, as for my safety, it will be protected by Su Ziming, and I will not work for him." ”

"The minister will truthfully convey His Majesty's holy will, but ......" Yi Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Liu Xie also saw that he still had something to say.

Yi Yuan coughed dryly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, we Liu Jingzhou said that the grain and grass have been loaded on the ship and can be transported to Wancheng by water at any time, since Your Majesty thinks that there is no business Liu Jingzhou will bring troops to escort, then Liu Jingzhou naturally does not dare to disturb Your Majesty's holy drive, however, we Liu Jingzhou also have a small request to Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty's permission." ”

"What a small request, say it." Liu Xie waved his hand generously, looking like he thought it was really a "small request".

Yi Ji said: "That's the case, we Liu Jingzhou is lacking a capable official, so I want to ask Your Majesty for permission to transfer Nanyang Yin Suzhe back to Xiangyang and take on the post of Nanjun Taishou, so as to better assist my family Liu Jingzhou and guard the territory for Your Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Fu Shou.

Fu Shou's face also changed, and he instantly understood Liu Biao's intentions, and naturally wanted to transfer Su Zhe to Xiangyang in the name of the Son of Heaven, and then get rid of Su Zhe, a "traitor".

To the Son of Heaven, Su Zhe is a loyal minister, and to him Liu Biao, Su Zhe is a "traitor".

Of course, Fu Shou also knew that Su Zhecai was not so stupid, how could he be obediently transferred back to Xiangyang to kill himself.

But looking at Liu Biao's meaning, it seems that he intends to take Su Zhe's life as an exchange condition, if the Son of Heaven does not agree, he Liu Biao will not only not provide grain and grass, but I am afraid that he will also resist the order and disobey the order, and openly raise troops to the north.

For a while, Fu Shou was also embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"If Su Zhe disobeys the decree and refuses to go to Xiangyang, what are you going to do?" At this time, Huangfu Song, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

His voice was like a muffled thunder, which startled Yi Yuan, and his body couldn't help but shiver.

He glanced at Huangfu Song, but he didn't recognize it, so he replied: "If Su Zhe dares to resist and disobey the order, he will naturally be like a traitor and intend to hold His Majesty hostage. ”

Finally showed the hideous side.

"What if Your Majesty doesn't give Su Zhe this holy decree? What is Liu Jingsheng going to do? Huangfu Song asked again, his face was gloomy.

Yi Ji said without thinking: "In this case, it must be that Your Majesty is threatened by Su Zhe and does not dare to give an order, then my lord should naturally raise troops to the north, the side of the Qing monarch, and save the monarch from fire and water." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yi Ji did not forget to add: "Your Majesty should not be suspicious, no matter why my lord raised troops to the north, it is just to protect Your Majesty's holy drive, once you get rid of Su Zhe, a traitor, my lord will immediately lead the whole army back to Xiangyang, leaving no soldier in Wancheng, Your Majesty can appoint any person trusted by Your Majesty as Nanyang Yin, and my lord will continue to send grain and grass to Wancheng for Your Majesty and Niangniang, as well as civil and military officials." ”

Yi has euphemistically clarified Liu Biao's intentions:

No matter what, Su Zhe and I have to kill him!

As for you, the son of heaven, I, Liu Biao, have no covetous intentions, don't worry, I think I want to learn from Dong Zhuo and hold you in my hand.

"Presumptuous!"

Huangfu Song suddenly shouted, his face was full of anger, and he said sharply: "Su Zhe is a loyal minister or a traitor, he has the Son of Heaven to make a holy decision, how can he Liu Biao have the final say, he is a dignified member of the Han family, he doesn't think about helping the Han family, and he even intends to threaten His Majesty, does he feel ashamed of the ancestors of the Liu family!" ”

Yi was reprimanded by Huangfu Song, who was shocked and speechless.

Huangfu Song didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, waved his hand, and shouted: "You go back immediately and tell Liu Biao that if he dares to lead the troops to commit a crime, my Huangfu Song will never spare him, get out!" ”

When Yi Yuan heard that the person in front of him turned out to be the famous Huangfu Song, his face changed in fright, how dare he stay any longer, and he hurriedly retreated and fled.

On the roof, Hu Che'er, who was lying there, overheard the conversation in the hall clearly, and disappeared into the palace after a few incidents.

After a while, he returned to the Taishou Mansion and stood in front of Su Zhe like the wind.

"I thought the Son of Heaven was going to have a long talk with the Son of Heaven, why did you come back so quickly, what did they say to the Son of Heaven?" Su Zhe asked with a smile.

Hu Che'er told the story of what Yi said to the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao's intention to threaten the Son of Heaven and get rid of his plots, and how he was finally reprimanded from the palace.

"Liu Biao really can't put sand in his eyes, even if he tears up the disguise of his loyal ministers, he will kill me......"

Su Zhe sighed sarcastically, and suddenly a strange color swelled in his eyes, and asked: "Childe, I would like to know which minister is so bold as to scold Liu Biao in front of Liu Biao's envoy." ”

"I almost forgot, that minister is Huangfu Song." Hu Che'er patted his head and replied.

Huangfu Song!

Hearing this thunderous name, Su Zhe couldn't help but feel shocked.
