In a dimly lit hut, the firewood and grass were piled up, the doors were closed, and the dim afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window railing, reflecting on a young man. Only half of his face was exposed, and the other side was shrouded in shadows, and above his expression, helplessness and panic could be seen.

"Your Majesty!" On the young man's side, the little eunuch held a small bowl of water in both hands and handed it to him: "Drink saliva!" ”

Liu Xie was in a daze, his bun was a little scattered, he didn't know where the crown had been thrown for a long time, and there were many holes in the emperor's robe on his body.

was coerced into the army by Li Dao to go on the expedition, running all the way, Hongnong was defeated, and was forcibly escorted to the west to flee, which was both hard and pitiful. When he arrived in Zhengxian County, he was directly detained here, and for two or three days, he didn't even eat a full meal.

The Xia army invaded the city, Li Dao was defeated, and the guards outside the house had long since fled, but Liu Xie did not dare to leave the house at all, but closed the door of the house, only this dark hut could give him a sense of security.

Hungry in his stomach, Liu Xie looked at the water in the little eunuch's hand, with its slight shaking, it rippled, not very clear, and there was a lot of visible dust on the water.

Even so, Liu Xie still took it, cooed and drank half a bowl in one go, and when he saw that the little eunuch's lips were chapped, he gave him the rest of the water. wiped his mouth with his sleeve without any scruples, and looked at the little eunuch, Liu Xie spoke up, with bitterness in his voice: "I never thought that in the end, it was you, the eunuch, who could faithfully follow me." ”

"If I can get out of the predicament one day, regain power, and restore the great man, I will reward you generously!" At this time, Liu Xie still didn't forget the little imperial heart trick he had learned over the years, and he made a big statement to buy people's hearts, even if it was just in front of such a small eunuch. Under the ring of wolves, his majesty of the Son of Heaven is only good in front of such a eunuch.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little eunuch bowed, and his face seemed to be a little excited. Eunuchs like them, their status, honor and disgrace all depend on the Son of Heaven, even if Liu Xie suffers at this time, if he really has a comeback, half a bowl of water, Bo will be rich and rich in the future, and it is worth it. Even if this wealth is like the moon in the well, the flower in the mirror, there is nothing bad about looking forward to it.

Liu Xie sighed heavily, from the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into the throne and the help of him to ascend the throne as the emperor, it has been almost four years now. The Han Dynasty is declining day by day, and the mediocrity and debauchery of the previous emperors are all borne by him, the descendant.

First Dong Zhuo, then Wang Yun, then Li and Guo, and soon Hu Xia. This neighborhood is full of Xia Jun, and Liu Xie clearly knows that Xia Jun will always find him.

The four-year career of the puppet emperor is really worse than the day. At this time, after falling into such a difficult situation, Liu Xie couldn't help but miss Dong Zhuo in his heart.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo dominated the dynasty and bullied the king, he hated it very much. But in Dong Zhuo's hands, he can at least live in the palace, stay in the Dragon Court, have brocade clothes and jade food, have queen concubines and beauties, and have eunuchs and palace maids to serve. Where is it like now, the day is not safe, coerced by martial artists like Li Guo, and things are running away, and now, they are about to fall into the hands of the Huns.

Thinking about the experience of these days, Liu Xie's eyes moistened, and he was just a teenager regardless of his identity as a son of heaven. Encountering such a situation without collapsing is already commendable.

Thinking about the barbarism and brutality of the Hu people, Liu Xie's heart was desolate, and there was some gloom in his eyes. If he falls into the hands of any Han prince, he will not have such fear, but the Huns, his identity as the Son of Heaven, is it easy to use?

Just as he was hesitating and unable to make a plan, there was a movement outside the house, footsteps sounded, and the sound of armor and iron pieces striking each other clearly came to his ears. Liu Xie and the little eunuch shook their bodies and shrank together.

"Have you done an inventory here?" A cold voice rang out.

"Prince, not yet!"

"Let's go inside!"

With a "bang", a violent vibration was felt, and the Xia pawn broke directly into the door, pouring in several Xia army soldiers. Later, Liu Heng walked in, the room was unobstructed, and when he swept his eyes, he saw Liu Xie and the others huddled in the corner.

After breaking Zheng County, Liu Heng and Liu Cheng were sent to help inspect the city, while Liu Heng stayed here to help check the mansion, after all, Liu Yuan fell here, and all unstable factors must be cleaned up. Along the way, he has cleared many remnants of the Li army scattered in the mansion. The most important thing is to find the Son of Han.

Staring at Liu Xie, looking at his imperial robe, although he was in trouble, it was difficult to hide his "temperament", Liu Heng asked: "You are the son of the Han family?" ”

With affirmation in his tone, he glanced at Liu Xie several times. I thought to myself, this is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is just a teenager, and there is nothing special about it. But seeing the fear in his eyes, some disdain arose in his heart, and without hearing his answer, Liu Heng's voice became louder: "Are you the Han Emperor Liu Xie?" ”

Facing this young man Hu Xia, who is similar to himself, only what he has heard about is that he should be the prince of Xia. Sensing the disdain in Liu Heng's eyes, Liu Xie took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, calmed down for a long time, and said, "I'm here!" ”

No matter what, he is the son of the Han Dynasty, how can he underestimate this Hun prince.

"Take it away! Dedicated to the Father! Liu Heng smiled, turned to the team next to him and ordered: "You take people to continue to check the remaining houses in this courtyard, don't let go of a corner!" ”

"No!"

In the hall, the bloodstains everywhere have not been cleaned up, and outside the hall, several members of the Li family were beheaded, dragged along with the corpses from various places, and transported to the outside of the city to be abandoned.

"This Zheng County is ruined! The people of the city, not one door or one household, have not been destroyed. Affected by this military disaster, Jingzhao County will be difficult to recover in a few years!" Liu Yuanzheng sighed.

Li Ru chuckled: "If this is not the case, how can the people here know that it is not easy to live and work in peace and contentment, there is a king to clear the rebels and return to stability, they should be grateful to the king!" ”

Liu Yuan shook his head slightly, and asked instead; "Has the Han Emperor found it?"

In Zheng County, Li Dao is not his attention, only this son of the Han family is worthy of Liu Yuan's attention.

"It's still being searched, and it's being imprisoned here, just a teenager left and right, and I believe there will be results soon!" Li Ruyu said.

Liu Yuan nodded.

"Father!" As soon as he called, he saw Liu Heng coming to report the good news with a little excitement, and knelt down on one knee: "Sons and daughters see their father!" ”

"Get up!" Liu Yuan looked at Liu Heng

Liu Heng got up and said to Liu Yuanyu: "Erchen has found the Han Emperor!" ”

His face moved, and Liu Yuan lightly ordered: "Bring it to the hall!" ”

Under the custody of Xia Shu, Liu Xie walked into the hall with apprehension in his heart. The hall was quiet, only Liu Yuan and some guards, and when they looked up, they saw a majestic man sitting behind the main case.

Wearing a brocade robe, the robe is embroidered with a black dragon, lined with black armor, and a long sword across his waist, his blazing eyes are looking at him, and he can't help but feel great pressure in his heart.

"Liu Yuan has seen His Majesty the Emperor!" Unscrupulously glanced at Liu Xie, who was slightly cramped, and did not get up, Liu Yuan smiled faintly.

When Liu Xie heard this, he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, forced himself to meet Liu Yuan's scrutinizing gaze, and replied in a calm tone: "I've seen the Marquis of Jin!" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes, this Liu Xie is not called the King of Xia, but calls the Marquis of Jin, this is a minister with a king's face.

Hehe chuckled twice, and the laughter was very faint, which made Liu Xie's heart tense again.

"Come on, help the Son of Heaven to take a seat!"

"The Son of Heaven has suffered, don't be alarmed, Li Dao is dead and safe. Because Li Guo made a mess and did not bear the poison of the people in Guanzhong, he led the army alone, which was really to hang the people, sweep away the traitors, and return Li Shu to peace. Lone is the son-in-law of the big man, and he should make a contribution to the big man. Liu Yuan said to Liu Xie with a smile on his face, like a big bad wolf.

"Is this true?" Hearing this, he was excited, and Liu Xie couldn't help but ask.

Then seeing Liu Yuan's playful smile, Liu Xie became short and sank. Although he is a teenager, he has been a marionette for so long under the obscenity of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, and his mind has long matured. As soon as his mood calmed down a little, Liu Xie knew that Liu Yuan's high-sounding words were just clichés, and it would be stupid to take them seriously.

Compared with Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, Liu Yuan didn't look at him smiling, his face was kind, and the feeling that Liu Xie felt even more terrifying. Dong Zhuo's people, even if they have reversed their actions, are in awe of the Han world after all, and they dare not cross the last thunder pool. But Liu Yuan, the Huns, really wanted to take away his surname Liu and destroy the Han Dynasty.

With bitterness on the corner of his mouth, Liu Xie's eyes stared at the table in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Jin has a heart, I, thank the Marquis of Jin for the people of Guanzhong!" ”

Liu Xie's fists were clenched, and his eyebrows were calm. Liu Yuan saw his performance, and commented in his heart, this young son of heaven has some city government and knows the word forbearance.

With a hearty smile, he said to Liu Xie: "Chang'an has been taken by Lone, and Lone will start his army to the west in a few days, Your Majesty, you can follow Lone into Chang'an and return to the palace!" ”

"Thank you, Marquis Jin!" Liu Xie could see the situation clearly and replied very cooperatively.

"Come on, the Son of Heaven is tired! Take the Son of Heaven down, change into clean clothes and rest, so that you can 'protect'! Make a gesture of invitation to Liu Xie, Liu Yuan instructed the guards.

Liu Xie didn't speak, got up and silently followed the two guards out. Looking at his back, Liu Yuan's expression was inexplicable, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty fell into his hands, and the impact on the Han world was definitely far-reaching enough.

But Liu Xie's role for Liu Yuan is not very great. He invaded the Han Dynasty in the south, and his ambitions for the Han Dynasty were never restrained. It is impossible to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, let alone rely on the Son of Heaven to absorb those talents who have the Han family in mind. But after all, the Son of Heaven, the head of the empire, can still be used, at least to deal a heavy blow to the prestige of the Han Dynasty again. The Son of Heaven has fallen into the hands of the enemy, whether this Han family can inherit it, I am afraid that many people will mutter.

The hall was silent for a while, Liu Yuan's expression was inexplicable, and he asked Li Ru: "Wen You, what do you think of this son?" ”

Li Ru thought for a while, sighed slightly, and said: "At this age, I have been through many hardships, know how to forbear, and have the means. In the face of the king, he is calm enough, which is really rare. If you are in a peaceful and prosperous era, you can be a generation of Ming Jun. Older, or the building will collapse. But he was born at the wrong time, and today's Han country is declining, which is not something that he, a young man, can recover! ”

"It's a shame indeed! The second dynasty of Huan Ling left the root of the bane, but it was up to this Liu Xie to taste the bitter fruit! Liu Yuan quite agreed with what Li Ru said, thought about it and then ordered: "Order the guards, serve them well, after all, it is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to do too much!" ”

"No!"

"Since the conscription, you have done a good job, and Lone is very satisfied!" Putting down Liu Xieshi, Liu Yuan said to Liu Heng, who was still standing next to him.

finally heard Liu Yuan's praise, Liu Heng was overjoyed, and said to Liu Yuan: "It's all what a son should do!" ”

"Alright, let's go down and rest. There are many good generals in the army, you can observe and learn the way of using soldiers and martial arts! Liu Yuan instructed.

"Erchen understands!"

……

Liu Xie was "protected" out of the hall, looking at the dim sky outside, the night had fallen, and the sky was full of stars. Liu Xie's eyes looked up in a daze, and the bright starlight, in his eyes, seemed to be very bleak, just like the declining Han Dynasty and the future of his Han Emperor.

"Let's go!" One of the guards behind him said coldly.

didn't move him, but the "evil aura" that was inadvertently emitted made Liu Xie tremble. With a wry smile, he was deeply trapped in the hands of the enemy, and he couldn't think too much, don't look at Liu Yuan's attitude "good", whether he can save his life is a question. I don't know how Liu Yuan will arrange for him, Liu Xie is very depressed in his heart.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a movement not far in front of him, and two figures stepped across the threshold, stepped down the stone steps, and came in his direction.

"See the two princes!" The guard next to him saluted.

Liu Jue in front of his head waved his hand: "Excuse me!" ”

Curiously, he glanced around Liu Xie, felt something, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Liu Xie felt a sense of shame and anger in his heart, he was so unscrupulous, and he had already encountered it several times today. He is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the supreme emperor, and he is ......

"Second Prince, this is the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" There was some excitement in the guard's tone.

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up beside him, and he also stared at Liu Xie's face for a while, and when he saw this Han Emperor with a "calm" expression, he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.

"Father has seen it?" Liu Cheng spoke.

"The king has already received it, and ordered the villain to wait for the guard!"

Liu Jue smiled a little, stared at Liu Xie's eyes, forced him to glance over, and said to the guards with a smile: "Go!" ”

"Brother Cheng! My father defeated the Guanzhong thief army, General Wu Huali occupied Chang'an again, and now the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has fallen into our hands again. Guanzhong is at your fingertips, if you capture Liangzhou to the west, this northwest region of the Han Dynasty will all be included in my Great Xia rule. It is not easy for my father to run this huge country, and we have to share our worries with my father! Seeing Liu Xie, Liu Jue sighed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Liu Cheng beside him.

"That's what Brother Wang said!" Listening to Liu Cheng's "teachings", Liu Cheng lowered his head slightly and replied.

With their own thoughts, Liu Yu and Liu Cheng entered the hall together to meet Liu Yuan.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Returning to the Xia Jun arrangement, changing into dry clothes, the little eunuch was escorted here to serve, and asked.

Recalling today's encounter, Liu Yuan's rampant glances of father and son kept appearing in his mind, and the suppressed shame and anger in his heart could no longer be held back, and he kicked the eunuch in front of him with a slam kick.

I wanted to scold, but I didn't dare to speak out after all. Thinking that he is the supreme son of heaven, today he fell into the hands of Chief Hu, and suffered such humiliation, how can he have the face to see the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. Standing there, his eyes were sore, and tears fell unconsciously.

The little eunuch who fell to the ground felt a pain in his abdomen, but he never thought that this young man would have such strength. Holding his stomach, he raised his eyes to look at Liu Xie's abnormal state, and immediately kowtowed: "Please let Your Majesty calm your anger!" ”

The movement inside alarmed the guards outside, and the guards broke into the door, staring at the emperor and servant with cold eyes: "Something?" ”

"Nothing!" It was taken by him, Liu Xie said.

The guard turned and retreated with his sword, this time, without closing the door.

Liu Xie's face flashed with all kinds of emotions, turned into depression, and sat down on the ground. Biting his lip stubbornly, he was disgusted with his weakness. The bite was bloody, and the pain was insignificant compared to the humiliation in my heart.
