In the third year of the first peace, the 12th day of the seventh month of the year of Xia Lirenshen, and August 8, 192 AD.

A few days after Dong Zhuo left Beijing for Yiwu.

On the street of Chang'an City, a cordon was arranged again.

This time, the person who served as the guard was the Xiyuan Army Yu Linwei, the Royal Forbidden Army.

Tomorrow is the beginning of autumn, and Emperor Liu Xie led hundreds of officials to the western suburbs to worship the White Emperor.

On both sides of the avenue, more people gathered than Dong Zhuo traveled last time.

His Majesty the Emperor is the Son of Heaven. The opportunity to witness the demeanor of the Son of Heaven with their own eyes is not wanted to be missed by the people of the whole city.

Pilots, bands, guard of honor, drivers, guards......

Dong Zhuo traveled and made a rehearsal. Now that the Son of Heaven is traveling, the momentum must be even greater!

However, the people were disappointed......

Although there are more cars to guide the driver, the scale of the propaganda team is larger, and the honor guard is more abundant, there is no momentum at all.

The escort Yu Linwei, the knife is unknown, the armor is not bright, and they all seem to be listless.

The sacrifice of the Son of Heaven should have been solemn and solemn, but the whole team seemed to have returned from defeat, casting a layer of gloom on the hearts of the onlookers.

Wen Tianxiang and Guo Kan glanced at each other tacitly, and they were very satisfied with this atmosphere.

The low-key travel of the Son of Heaven is conducive to the implementation of the plan.

……

In the western suburbs, the altar has already been set up in Taichang Temple.

At the beginning of autumn, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, slowly ascended to the altar.

Every year, the Son of Heaven will go to the east, west, north and south to worship the Emperor of the Quartet, pray for all the people in the world, and pray for the blessings of the rivers and mountains.

For the young emperor, sacrificing heaven and earth was a tedious and boring, even somewhat comical ritual.

However, for Liu Xie, the annual sacrifice of the four seasons is his happiest day.

Only then can he leave the cage-like Weiyang Palace, walk out of the gloomy Chang'an City, and breathe a different air.

When sacrificing heaven and earth, Dong Zhuo and his henchmen could not survive the generations. Liu Xie can find the feeling of being an emperor.

And this autumn, it's even more different.

While Liu Xie was excited, he couldn't hide the nervousness in his heart.

Stepping up the last step of the altar, Liu Xie unexpectedly stumbled. Almost fell!

In the low exclamation of the hundred officials, Liu Xie stabilized his body, walked to the center of the altar, and knelt down.

The hundred officials under the altar all knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.

Liu Xie mechanically finished reciting the sacrificial text. Again he knelt on the altar and could not stand for a long time.

He's praying with all his heart!

Oh my God! Have mercy on your children. Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Guangwu, please bless your children and grandchildren! Traitorous ministers, your descendants are living an inhuman life, ask for mercy from heaven and the protection of your ancestors. If Liu Xie can break free from the cage and get out of the sea of suffering, he will double his offerings in the coming year......

……

The Son of Heaven stayed in the western suburbs.

Tomorrow. It will return to Chang'an.

Unitary time.

The camp was heavily guarded, and Guo Kan was draped all over his body, patrolling the camp of the Son of Heaven.

Wen Tianxiang held a few rolls of bamboo slips and came to the gate of the camp on time.

"Stop!" Guarding the gate of the camp is the Xiyuan Yulin Guard, who is loyal to Dong Zhuo. Personnel entering the camp should be strictly interrogated.

Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty reads the classics at night, and orders Wen to interpret it." ”

Guo Kan walked over quickly. "Dr. Wen, come in, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Guo Kan spoke, and Yu Linwei hesitated. Dodge out of the way.

……

In the tent of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie sat upright, and Wen Tianxiang stood aside.

Dong Zhuo sent a small eunuch by Liu Xie's side and was responsible for monitoring Liu Xie's every move. Tied aside, although he couldn't understand the classics said by the two, he stared at the emperor's every move seriously.

Wen Tianxiang spread out the bamboo slips. "Today, the minister interprets the "Weizi" of the "Book of Shang" for His Majesty. Weizi Ruo said: Father, young master! Yin Qifu or chaos in all directions......"

Liu Xie shuddered and said, "Wen Qing wait a minute." He turned to the little eunuch and said, "It's too cold in the tent, so add a brazier to me." ”

The little eunuch made a promise and went out of the tent. Tell the miscellaneous eunuchs to fetch braziers. He returned to the tent and continued to keep an eye on it.

The brazier was brought in, and the tent instantly warmed up.

The little eunuch was dressed thickly, and after a while, he sweated. But in front of the Son of Heaven, you can't talk nonsense, you can only complain in secret.

Wen Tianxiang saw that the time had come, and glanced at Liu Xie.

Liu Xieyi said to the little eunuch: "I am interested tonight, I want to read more books." Pass Captain Guo and ask him to arrange the affairs of the lower camp. ”

Guo Kan entered the account, and Liu Xie talked to him.

Seeing that the little eunuch was so hot that the big man was dripping, Wen Tianxiang deliberately reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Ah, Wen Qing feels hot, right?" Liu Xie asked with concern, turned to the little eunuch and said, "Take out the brazier." ”

"No!" The little eunuch leaned over to carry the brazier.

Guo Kan saw the opportunity, suddenly pulled out the dagger, jumped behind the little eunuch, and the dagger quickly slashed towards his neck!

A stream of blood foamed from the neck of the little eunuch!

"Ahh Liu Xie exclaimed in surprise and collapsed on the seat.

Wen Tianxiang hurried over and helped Liu Xie up. "Your Majesty, don't be surprised!"

Liu Xie trembled like chaff.

Guo Kan dealt with the little eunuch and quickly pulled off his clothes. "Your Majesty, please change your clothes quickly!"

"This, this...... Bloody ......"

This plan, Wen Tianxiang and Guo Kan secretly said to Liu Xie. But Liu Xie was always monitored by the eunuchs of Dong Zhuo's faction, and he couldn't go into details.

Although Liu Xie is the emperor, he is young after all. Seeing such a bloody scene, I couldn't panic myself.

"Your Majesty, change your clothes quickly!"

Wen Tianxiang and Guo Kan didn't care about anything else, so they worked together to change the clothes of the little eunuch to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will go out and wait first, so as not to be suspicious of the cronies in the camp."

Guo Kan said that, hurriedly saluted Liu Xie, withdrew from the big tent, greeted Yu Linwei, and deployed the camp defense.

In the tent, Wen Tianxiang took a lot of effort to stabilize Liu Xie. Repeatedly taught Liu Xie the words of preparation, and Liu Xie was nervous and repeated it several times before he could remember it.

戌時.

In the big tent of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie's voice came.

"I'm sleepy, Wen Qing retreat. Come on, send Wen Qing out of the camp. ”

"No!"

Liu Xie, who was dressed as a little eunuch, raised the tent curtain, and Wen Tianxiang was respectful and withdrew from the big tent.

Outside the tent, Guo Kan greeted him, and Wen Tianxiang sandwiched Liu Xie in the middle and walked to the gate of the camp.

"A few of you have worked hard." Guo Kan greeted Yu Linwei, who was guarding the camp gate. "Your Majesty is resting, don't disturb."

"No!"

The three of them left the camp and went straight to the garrison of Guo Kanxiyuan's army.

Fu Wan was already waiting here, and when he saw Wen Tianxiang and Guo Kan bring out the emperor, he was excited and nervous.

"The boat is ready. The loyal men of the DPRK and China are already waiting for the holy driver on the ship. At this time, it is not advisable to take a ride, Your Majesty is wronged, and ride a horse to the shore. ”

Everyone helped Liu Xie onto the horse, Guo Kan personally led the horse reins, and just walked out of the camp gate, and several people came to meet him.

As soon as the man saw Wen Tianxiang and the others, he exclaimed, "You are so bold!" (To be continued.) )
