Chapter 42: Physically and mentally exhausted

Liu Xie never dreamed that he could hear such words from Gao Ye's mouth. In Liu Xie's impression, Gao Ye has always been calm and calm, and he has always been gentle and elegant. Even when the palace gate incident occurred back then, when Gao Ye single-handedly dealt with Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others, he had never shown such a fierce appearance and said such cruel words. At this moment, what Liu Xie felt was not just the fear of death. It was also at this moment that Liu Xie finally understood that there are always some things in this world that are more frightening than death.

Perhaps, as Gao Ye said, watching the big man come to an end little by little, for the son of heaven of the big man, it was really the most cruel and merciless torture. Since the founding of Gaozu, the Han Dynasty has gone through many ups and downs, and it still stands between this heaven and earth. Even if Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the green forest and red eyebrows stirred up the chaos in the world, isn't there still Guangwu Zhongxing, which has lasted for more than 200 years of Han Zuo! But now, the world is in turmoil, the Han family is decadent, and he is trapped in the deep palace, looking up to others. Liu Biao and Liu Zhang have a state, but they have no ambition to revitalize the Han family. Only one Liu Xuande is still working hard, and he was beaten with his head scurrying. Also, although Liu Bei is talented, he is still a little worse in the face of characters like Gao Ye and Cao Cao. Could it be that the big man is really going to die in his own hands?

It's just that Gao Ye didn't seem to have any intention of letting Liu Xie go at all, and the words in his mouth sprayed on Liu Xie's heart like venom. “…… I'm not afraid to tell you that I once fantasized about a political system called 'constitutional monarchy', although the power is concentrated in Sikong, or someone else, but this country is still named the order of the Han Dynasty, and you descendants of the Liu family are at least the nominal emperor. Can now? From the moment the seed album ambushed me, my feelings for Dahan completely disappeared! How about it, the feeling of cutting off the country that your ancestors worked so hard to fight with your own hands is not comfortable, right? Even under the Nine Springs, how should you face your ancestors and ancestors? Tell them you're just on the spur of the moment, can't you? ”

For a while, fear completely dominated Liu Xie's brain, and even the anger that Fang had finally erupted from now dissipated without a trace. It was not until this moment that Liu Xie finally understood that the imperial power he had always believed in and the monarchs and ministers he had always believed in were nothing more than lies made up by his ancestors. In the face of absolute strength, all rhetoric seems so pale and powerless. When people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what else can I reason with? What other capital does it have to make people listen to your reasoning?

The truth is often so cruel, as the ruler of one of the most powerful empires in the world, Liu Xie never thought that he would have such a powerless time. He is the emperor, but he can't stop Gao Ye from committing murder, he can't save Dong Guiren, and he has to be mercilessly ridiculed and ridiculed by Gao Ye. As an emperor, his pride and emptiness are so vulnerable in the face of reality. Gao Ye once said that the troubled times are an era when those with big fists are reasonable, and today I really realized the true meaning of this sentence!

Liu Xie, who didn't say a word, just stood there lonely, and Queen Fu was even more frightened by Gao Ye and didn't know what to do, and she couldn't stand up at all when she knelt on the ground. Dong Guiren's body lay quietly on the ground like this, and the heads of Dong Cheng and the others were still scattered aside. There was silence in the palace, just like the small hall at this time.

The sun had not yet come out outside, but the sky had already brightened, and this night of blood and fire seemed to gradually return to its former peaceful appearance with the dawn. Seeing Liu Xie's loneliness and collapse, Gao Ye also let out a long sigh in his heart, although they were already enemies, it was not a big problem to do everything. But humiliating a weak person like Liu Xie and bullying a person with a miserable life really made Gao Ye unhappy.

Such a strange silence was finally broken by Gao Ye's sentence of "coming", and a few soldiers quickly walked into the small hall and obeyed the order. Gao Ye said lightly: "Take down these heads, as well as the corpse of Dong Guiren, and hand them over to Manfujun for disposal." It's dawn, and it's time for us to clean up the mess outside......"

Gao Ye said, and was about to leave, but Queen Fu on the side hurriedly said: "Situ, Sister Dong is dead, please Situ let her go, let her go." Just let me deal with it......" Before Queen Fu's words were finished, Gao Ye's sharp gaze stared straight at her face, which suddenly frightened Queen Fu into a little speechless. This feeling was only for a moment, but Queen Fu bowed again: "Dong Guiren is His Majesty's concubine, how to bury it is within my duty as the queen, and I hope Situ ......"

"That's it!" Gao Ye said lightly, "Her body should be properly buried!" However, she committed the crime of great rebellion, and she was not allowed to be buried according to the concubine ceremony, nor was she allowed to repair the tomb and erect a monument! Do you understand? Seeing that Queen Fu was still bargaining, Gao Ye snorted coldly and said, "This is already my biggest concession." He didn't look at Queen Fu, but turned his head to look at Liu Xie and sneered: "Look, even your queen is more courageous than you!" He didn't care about anything else, he raised his feet and walked, and said with a sigh as he walked: "Poor child." ”

Gao Ye left, and the team of soldiers outside the dormitory also walked a lot, and only Liu Xie and Queen Fu were left in the small hall at this moment, as well as the little eunuch who was frightened and fainted, and the smell of blood in the room. This night, Liu Xie suffered too many blows, and was sneered at by Gao Ye, and took two steps inward with difficulty, stumbled and sat on the ground. Queen Fu saw Liu Xie falling, and hurried over to help. Liu Xie patted Queen Fu's hand holding his arm, and said with a wry smile: "Queen, do you think I am particularly incompetent?" ”

"No, no, Your Majesty, you are the son of the Han Dynasty, how can you say that you are incompetent?"

"Huh...... I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Han, and I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Han! And then what? Uncle Dong Guo is loyal, but now I can't even save Dong Guiren! I don't dare to say much if I want to take away her body in the high night, and I can't even bury her according to the rites! Such an emperor, what is it called incompetence? ”

"Your Majesty......" Queen Fu shouted softly, and no longer tried to help Liu Xie up, but sat next to Liu Xie, gently hugged Liu Xie's body and said: "I think Situ is really mad this time!" To be able to force a person like him to be like this, His Majesty should be proud. Liu Xie smiled helplessly when he heard this, and Queen Fu said again: "I can just see that Situ still has some sympathy for His Majesty, didn't you hear what he said at the end 'poor child'?" Sister Dong can't be buried in a grand manner, but an unborn child can. As long as it's not too much, I don't think Situ will care about this matter anymore, and it can be regarded as an explanation to my sister. ”

Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't think about it just now, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really such a situation. But the more Gao Ye is like this, the more his heart can't be calm. As long as he thought that what Gao Ye said about constitutional monarchy was true, Liu Xie felt a sense of pain. I must have been dizzy at the beginning to believe Dong Cheng's beheading plan. What Gao Ye said makes sense, even if he and Cao ** are separated, can he survive? Now that the plan has failed, Cao Cao still doesn't know, but Gao Ye is still alive and well, but he is afraid that his wings will be lost. Without them, on their own, what capital do they have to fight Cao Cao?

Liu Xie was thinking about life in his bedroom, and at this moment, he returned to the high night of Sikong Mansion, but he had to continue to deal with the chaos in front of him. The sky has already brightened, and there are even more officials gathered in the Sikong Mansion, and the higher-ranking officials on both sides of Cao Cao's command are here, and there are many of them. Some came to pay the order, some came to inquire about the situation, and some simply came to care about Cao Cao, and the entire hall was crowded with people, which couldn't help but make Gao Ye's head stand at the door big. Almost instantly, Gao Ye felt physically and mentally exhausted.

This can't be helped, from the beginning of the emperor's dinner to the present, Gao Ye has never closed his eyes. Last night, he fought with the Changshui camp all night, and then ordered the generals to calm down the chaos, and finally chatted with Liu Xiema in the palace for a long time, and he was already exhausted at this time. It's just that the situation is not stable, although the chaos in Yingdu City has been cleaned up, but the chaos outside Yingdu City is afraid that it has just begun.

As soon as they entered the lobby, Gao Ye was surrounded by a group of people who were hula la, and their gossiping questions made Gao Ye's head big. Gao Ye took a long breath and shouted, "Enough! The people around were stunned, only to hear Gao Ye then say: "Say it one by one!" Wait, the situation is still tense, and when I finish talking about business first, everyone will ask one by one. Let me find a place to sit down first. ”

Everyone turned red, arched their hands to make way for Gao Ye, and after Gao Ye sat down, he first asked about the situation in the city. Similar to what Gao Ye thought, most of the people who set fire to the city have been wiped out by Dian Wei's Tiger Army, and many have also been caught and sent to Man Zhong to wait for trial. A lot of houses were burned in the city, and many people needed to be appeased, which was to be expected. As for the so-called chaotic party, Jia Xu also cleaned it up very cleanly, although it caused Xun Yu's dissatisfaction, but Xun Yu did not blame more. It's just that Cao Cao still hasn't woken up now, and Cao Ang's condition is not optimistic. Fortunately, as soon as Hua Tuo arrived, it was up to him to see if he had the ability to come back to life.

The situation is like this, Gao Ye can only pray silently, seeing that everyone below is looking at him, Gao Ye rubbed his head, sighed and said: "Now the chaos in the city has been calmed down, but the lord has not woken up yet." Last night, I analyzed with Guo Xianjiu and Xun Lingjun, this time Dong Cheng was only afraid that he was colluding with Yuan Shao, Dong Cheng made a mess here, and Yuan Shao was likely to send troops there. Ladies and gentlemen, wait for the lord to wake up, and wait for the news that Yuan Shao sent troops to be confirmed, let's step up preparations for war, the situation cannot allow us to relax in the slightest! ”
