Chang'an City, inside the palace, seems to be a little depressed, and there is no royal spirit at all.

Liu Xie, the emperor of the dynasty who was only eleven years old, still had childishness on his face. But after going through a lot of hardships, his behavior and demeanor also began to slowly mature.

Liu Xie is young and intelligent, and after the careful teaching of the Empress Dowager Dong, he is very proficient in royal etiquette. Between the behaviors, it is also quite imperial.

However, since he ascended the throne, he has been a puppet emperor. Therefore, in the heart of the little emperor, it is inevitable to leave some shadows.

When he was just born, his mother was poisoned by Queen He; When he was eight years old, his father fell ill and died; Then the Empress Dowager Dong, who had been raising him as an adult, was also poisoned.

Since then, only Liu Wei, his half-brother, has been his only relative.

Although Empress Dowager He and the general He Jin were all jealous of Liu Xie, they were afraid that Liu Wei's throne would be taken away by Liu Xie.

But Liu Wei, who grew up with a Taoist priest since childhood, is a benevolent person, although he is relatively frivolous. He is also very protective of his younger brother.

Therefore, the young Liu Xie also has some admiration and gratitude for the brother who is not much older than himself.

He listened to Jia Xu, who was kneeling in front of him, and told Tang Ji that he returned home, refused to remarry, and stayed at home alone. Then he was plundered by Li Dao and forced to die to protect his chastity.

Listening to it, Liu Xiebei came from his heart, and couldn't help crying and said: "Tang Ji is my brother's princess, although the imperial brother is dead, he is still loyal. Such a woman, but she doesn't want to end up in today's field. ”

"If it weren't for Jia Shangshu to rescue him and come to inform me of this. If Tang Jiguo is really defiled, what kind of face will I have in the future to meet my brother under Jiuquan? ”

After speaking, Liu Xie thought of his current puppet-like life, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jia Xu was inevitably sad, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, please mourn, now Tang Ji is in the minister's mansion." Even if the minister fights for his life, he will keep Tang Ji safe. ”

Liu Xie wiped a handful of tears, hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jia Xu up with his immature hands, and said: "If the people of the world are all as loyal as Jia Shangshu, why worry about the Han family?" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "The minister has done a lot of evil and unforgivable things, how can he afford the word 'loyalty'? ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu knelt on the ground again and knocked on the ground with his forehead.

Liu Xie said: "When Dong thief took power, who was not afraid of this person? Although Jia Shangshu made some mistakes in the past, what he has done today is still worthy of the word 'loyalty'. ”

"I have heard that since Jia Shangshu took office, he has not been afraid of power and has selected talents. This enabled a large number of ministers loyal to the Han family to be reused. ”

"What Qing did, how could I not know?"

Jia Xu still said in fear: "As a scholar, it is really my duty to recommend talents for the imperial court. ”

Without continuing to argue with Jia Xu, Liu Xie frowned and said, "Although the imperial brother is no longer there, I must not let his concubine go to the people. ”

"I want to place her in the back garden of the palace and crown her as Princess Hongnong, I don't know if Jia Shangshu thinks it's okay?"

Jia Xu suddenly said: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, if you want to do it at this time, you only need to make a holy decree." ”

"Ninety-Five?"

whispered twice, and Liu Xie's face showed a helpless look.

Then, Emperor Liu Xie issued an edict to welcome Tang Ji to the back garden of the palace. And let the court serve in the festival, worship Tang Ji as the princess of Hongnong.

From then on, Tang Ji's living expenses were provided by the royal family.

After Jia Xu returned to his courtyard, he secretly thought in his heart: "I have now gained the trust of Your Majesty, and I can just break away from Li Dao and the others at this time. ”

"The details should be carefully planned."

And the state, Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

After Chen Xu buried Yang Feng, he began to deal with all the affairs after the war. Although Bingzhou sent troops to the division this time, he got Hanoi County and Henan Yin in the east.

However, the annihilation of the 30,000 army in the middle road, as well as the death of Xu Huang and Yang Feng, made Chen Xu a little unthinkable and lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, Chen Gong and Tian Feng shared his worries and helped deal with government affairs. Otherwise, Chen Xu really didn't know how to spend this time.

Looking at the case in his hand, Chen Xu's thoughts were a little flustered. Thinking of the high-spirited and famous Xu Huang and Xu Gongming in history, Chen Xu felt a pang of colic in his heart.

"Isn't it because of my arrival that this person is a good general in the world, and he died on the battlefield like this?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, Chen Xu threw away the case in his hand, held his forehead with his hand, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Hao Zhao, who had been staying by his side, couldn't help but call softly: "Lord! ”

Wiping a handful of tears, Chen Xu smiled and said, "What is Bo Dao calling me?" ”

Hao Zhao saw Chen Xu's haggard appearance, and couldn't help but persuade: "Lord, you have lost a lot of money during this time. If you feel unwell, you should take more rest. ”

Chen Xu also felt that he had no intention of dealing with government affairs, so he said: "It's okay, you can go to Guanhai Mansion with me now to see how his injuries are recovering." ”

Hao Zhao's face was happy, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement. Since he defected to Chen Xu, he has won Chen Xu's attention. Hao Zhao also believes that Chen Xu is a hero, so he is loyal to Chen Xu.

During this time, he has been by Chen Xu's side. Every time he saw Chen Xu's depressed appearance, he wanted to take Chen Xu out for a walk.

Although Guan Hai no longer had to worry about his life, he was hit by six arrows. Until now, Guan Hai still can't get out of bed.

The commander of the former Qingzhou Yellow Turban, because of the defeat in this battle, was very depressed for a while. But Chen Xu never blamed him.

Not only that, even if Chen Xu is in a bad mood, every time he goes to Guanhai Mansion, he will hide his emotions. He didn't want to make Guan Hai's heart even more sad because of himself.

After Guan Hai was sent back, he refused to see guests every day. In the face of this defeat, in the face of the tragic deaths of Yang Feng and Xu Huang, he, the commander of the mid-lane army, has always been reluctant in his heart.

Today, he is still lying in his hospital bed, staring blankly at the roof.

Suddenly, a servant rushed in and said to Guan Hai, "General, the lord has come to see you!" ”

Guan Hai was shocked, and he wanted to get up strongly. However, he was seriously injured, and he exerted too much force, and blood oozed from the wound.

"General, general, don't move."

When the servant saw this, he was horrified, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Guan Hai's face was a little pale, although he was sweating profusely in pain, he still stubbornly said: "Although I Guan Hai is just a rough person, I also know: the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." ”

In the Han Dynasty, not only between the emperor and the courtiers, there was the status of monarch and minister. Even in every state and county, and even in the county seat, there are also monarchs and ministers between the upper officials and the lower officials.

"My lord came to see me today, but if I lie on the bed and don't get up, what will I become?"

"Ah Hai, Hugh wants to move again, lie down quickly!"

Just when Guan Hai insisted on getting up, a clear voice sounded. He looked up and realized that it was Chen Xu.

"Lord!"

With a soft call, Guan Hai's eyes were full of tears. There is both emotion and guilt.

Chen Xu hurriedly stepped forward, pressed him on the bed, and said unhappily: "I told you a long time ago, if I come to see you in the future, you are not allowed to get up, why don't you listen?" ”

Chen Xu's tone was a little stern, and when Guan Hai heard this, not only did he not have the slightest guilt in his heart, but said gratefully: "How can Hai not know the love of the lord?" ”

"Then ......"

Chen Xu directly interrupted Guan Hai's words, and said solemnly: "Remember, this is a military order, if you dare to violate it in the future, it will be dealt with by military law." ”

Guan Hai coughed violently a few times, but the tears in his eyes were dripping down in big drops.

Seeing Guan Hai like this, how could Chen Xu not know what he was thinking? Sighing, Chen Xu said softly: "Ah Hai, this defeat has nothing to do with you and others, it is all because I am too light on the enemy." ”

"If I had been more cautious, there wouldn't have been such a tragedy."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu's eyes were also red.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Sili, Hedong County, a small village in the south of Pingyang County. Dozens of teenagers in their early twenties, all with flirtatious faces, gathered together.

One of the young men, his eyebrows fluttering, said: "This general is simply amazing, the army is almost completely wiped out, and he can actually kill the commander of the enemy army before he dies." ”

Another majestic and majestic young man said with a disdainful face: "You have talked about this matter no less than a hundred times, please don't say it again, okay?" ”

The young man who spoke at the beginning suddenly turned red.

After a pause, the young man was a little annoyed, he waved his arms and said loudly: "We have admired the style of light chivalry since childhood, and we boast of valuing righteousness and suicide. ”

"Today, compared with the thousands of soldiers and two generals of the state army, it is far from the same. Shouldn't we learn such a righteous thing? ”

Another teenager said with disdain on his face: "Even if you want to study, you won't be like you, just rely on your mouth." ”

The young man who spoke first was furious when he heard this, pointed at the person who had just spoken, and shouted, "Are you itching again?" ”

The young man who was pointed at raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid you won't make it?" ”

The majestic man, who seemed to have long been accustomed to their bickering, yawned and stopped talking.

"Crunch!"

Suddenly, the gate in front of them was opened. A man dressed as a medical worker walked out sweating profusely.

Seeing this, the teenagers made a 'hula' and surrounded the medical workers.

The majestic young man pinched the collar of the medical worker, lifted the man up, and shouted, "Is that person still saved?" ”
