Chapter 454: The Young Emperor's Request
As he spoke, the young emperor took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Liu He.
Liu He took the jade pendant and couldn't help but be surprised.
The style and texture of this jade pendant are exactly the same as the two pieces of civil and military jade pendant in his hand!
Although he already knew that there should be four pieces of this set of jade pendants, but he guessed for a long time, and he was not sure what the words engraved on the other two jade pendants were.
"Your Majesty means ......," Liu He asked cautiously.
At this time, what he was most concerned about was not what the young emperor wanted to entrust him, but what kind of mystery was hidden in these jade pendants.
"This piece of jade pendant was handed down by Emperor Gaozu, there were originally four pieces, two of which were held in the hands of Wenkui and Wukui in the world, and this piece in your hand was in the hands of the royal family for generations."
The young emperor's words completely confirmed Liu He's conjecture, and the two jade pendants engraved with civil and military arts he originally owned were obtained from the ancestor of the Chen family, who was the first in the world in martial arts, and the head of the Zhao family, who was known as the first scholar in the world.
At present, three of the four jade pendants have already reached Liu He's hands, and he can't wait to know what words are engraved on the remaining jade pendants, in whose hands, and what secrets are hidden behind these four jade pendants.
However, what the young emperor said next disappointed Liu He.
Emperor Gaozu left a testament that four pieces of jade pendant together could calm the chaos in the world. But this secret edict, which had been hidden for a long time, was discovered by the young emperor in a panic when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang.
The young emperor risked his life to rescue this edict from the fire, but found that the fire had burned part of the edict, and the part that was burned was the whereabouts of the last jade pendant, and how to save the Han dynasty with the four jade pendants.
Despite this, in the eyes of the young emperor, this secret edict and this jade pendant were still like a life-saving straw, and they were held tightly in his hands.
Liu He understands that the secret edict and the jade pendant, the young emperor will not show it easily, since he told all the secrets today, and entrusted him with this jade pendant, it means that the young emperor has regarded him as his last hope.
Liu He, who has not been influenced by Confucianism, naturally has no idea of being loyal to today's son, but now that his brother-in-law is in trouble, he, as a brother-in-law, has to reach out and pull it no matter what.
It's just that the young emperor gave him too few clues, except for the collection of four jade pendants that could save the Han family, the other situations were almost no different from what he had before.
Mo said that after collecting the four jade pendants, he could produce any amazing effects, and even the whereabouts of the last jade pendant were not clueless.
Before, when he got the two pieces of Wenwu jade pendant, Liu He was racking his brains to figure out what words would be engraved on the other two jade pendants, but now even if he knew that the third jade pendant was engraved with an imperial character, he could not deduce the corresponding word based on this imperial character.
The most critical question is what does this emperor refer to, the emperor? Royal house? Or imperial power?
If it refers to the emperor, it may correspond to the national character of the country, or it may be the people's character, and this assumption alone can extend many possibilities, not to mention other assumptions such as the royal family and imperial power.
Even if you know what the words are engraved on the last piece of jade pendant, it is not easy to find it.
This Wen Kui and Wu Kui are easy to find, if there is a folk character engraved, where will so many people in the world go to find it?
"You...... Would you like to help me with this? The young emperor asked in a tone that the Son of Heaven should not have.
Only then did Liu He retract his thoughts, smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this matter is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
The young emperor was silent for a while, and then said softly: "The imperial sister once said to me that everyone in the world will harm me, but she will not, I miss you...... It should be the same as my imperial sister, right? ”
Liu He was very entangled, he wanted to put aside his identity as a monarch and give this brother-in-law a satisfactory answer, but only he knew best that his brother-in-law's family business could not be kept at all.
"If you collect all four jade pendants and still fail to change the current situation, what should Your Majesty do?" Liu He suddenly asked.
"I have never thought about this problem," the young emperor did not hesitate, his eyes burning, "I have never had the power to choose, only this time, it is my own decision, whether this time is success or failure, I am worthy of my ancestors and ancestors." ”
Liu He thought for a while and said in a low voice: "I want to ask Your Majesty one more question, whether the edict of the clothes and belts back then is true." ”
The young emperor had a sad look on his face, "Cao Cao hopes it is true, because in this way, he will have the pretext to eradicate dissidents." Liu Bei They also hope that it is true, because only when it really exists, can there be a morality to maintain orthodoxy. Both sides hope that it is true, and it becomes true, and who cares about me, has it ever written that bloody edict? ”
The young emperor closed his eyes tightly, frowned slightly, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Liu He, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of bitterness, "Is it true or false, what I said, can it really be counted?" ”
Liu He was silent.
The young emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know, in your heart, you don't recognize me as the emperor, Dong Zhuo doesn't kneel to me, Cao Cao doesn't kneel to me, killing them can't relieve the hatred in my heart." But you don't kneel to me, but I don't hate you, I just think that maybe this inheritance passed down by my ancestors is really going to be buried in my hands......"
"Although I didn't tell her personally, I will definitely take care of her brother," Liu He interrupted the young emperor, "but in this world, there is no reason for a brother-in-law to kneel down to his brother-in-law." ”
The young emperor looked at the smiling brother-in-law in front of him, and showed a knowing smile for the first time, "It would be nice if I hadn't been born in this emperor's family." ”
Liu He stepped forward, hugged the young emperor's shoulders without any rules, and said with a wicked smile: "That's easy to do, let's do this, you will be like an ordinary person." Your brother-in-law is helping, but you can't let your brother-in-law come for nothing, right? My brother-in-law has taken a fancy to one of your things here, can you borrow it from my brother-in-law? ”
The young emperor seemed to be very uncomfortable with this way of speaking, and asked in a bit of a panic, "...... you What do you want? ”
Liu He frowned, "Give you back yours, call me brother-in-law!" Also, let me tell you, in front of outsiders, we are still the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and when we are left, you don't want to be with me, it sounds awkward! ”
