Chapter 315: Take me out of Chang'an
Since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu set the capital Luoyang, and Chang'an was no longer prosperous. Dong Zhuo forcibly moved the wealthy households of Luoyang to Chang'an City, which stimulated the development of Chang'an to a certain extent, but even so, it was far from before Luoyang was burned down.
Outside the city of Chang'an, the people who greeted He Xian and his entourage were General Fenwu and Wenhou Lu Bu. Lu Bu and He Xian were deeply entangled, from the beginning of relying on the He family to get opportunities, to the battle of the eight captains of the West Garden, to become famous in one fell swoop and win the favor of the Han Emperor Liu Bian, and then to abandon Liu Biao to serve Dong Zhuo, and soar to the top. Step by step, he turned from a comrade to an enemy. Seeing each other again, Lu Bu regarded himself as a hero of the destruction of Dong, and did not take He Xian and his party in his eyes at all. This time, firstly, it is to complete the tasks assigned by Situ Wangyun, and secondly, it may not be to show his worth in front of He Xian, the old master.
"I haven't seen you for several years, General Wei has finally grown up!" Far away, Lu Bu rode on his red rabbit horse, and sighed loudly, like an elder who hadn't seen him for a long time saw a junior.
"Lu Wenhou is really forgetful! In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass a year ago, Wen Hou fled without a fight, just like yesterday! He Xian replied without showing weakness.
"Sharp teeth! Two against one, and it is said so high-sounding! Lu Bu said slightly angrily. I didn't expect He Xian to come to his own territory and be so arrogant.
"Who made Marquis Lu Wen the first military general in the world who was personally appointed by the first emperor?"
What I didn't expect was that He Xian praised Lu Bu again in the next sentence, which made Lu Bu very embarrassed. Neither is anger, nor is joy, stay on the spot.
He Xiance immediately stepped forward and said: "Don't hide it, I will admire Wen Hou's martial arts so much!" This time, Dong Zhuo was killed to eliminate harm for the people of the world, and Wen Hou made great contributions. However, Ben Jiang heard that Wang Situ refused to pardon the crimes of Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, but is there such a thing? ”
Lu Bu was originally very wary of He Xian, but after accidentally being poured a meal of ecstasy soup, his vigilance suddenly plummeted.
"Indeed it is! Lord Situ said that Niu Fu and others did a lot of evil, and they were Dong Zhuo's minions and lackeys, and they had to be removed! “
"But did Wen Hou ever think that Wang Situ refused to pardon these five people, not because he wanted to kill them?" He Xianshen asked mysteriously.
"Don't kill them? If he didn't kill them, why didn't Situ just forgive their sins? General Wei don't have to laugh. Lu Bu was puzzled.
He Xian laughed and said no more. Ask Lu Bu to lead the way, and take Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and other five hundred guards to the annex in the city to rest. The 10,000-strong army was handed over to Zhang Liao to command, supplemented by Wei Yan and Gao Shun.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Lu Bu sent someone to pick He Xian up and enter the palace to face the saint. In Weiyang Palace, He Xian met Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty again. At this time, Liu Xie was already eleven years old, and he had lived under Dong Zhuo's obscenity for a long time, and the eleven-year-old Liu Xie was already very deep in the city. Seeing He Xian come to meet him regardless of the obstacle, he was obviously very happy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. Because he was afraid that if he was happy, Wang Yun, Liu Biao and others would be unhappy. After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun and Liu Biao came to power. Compared with Dong Zhuo, although Liu Xie has received more respect, because he is young, he still has no access to government affairs. All things are decided after being weighed by Situ Fu and Sikong Fu.
"The last general He Xian is late, please punish Your Majesty!" After He Xian entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Emperor Han. According to General Wei's status, He Xian can actually replace him, and he does not need to make a big salute. But He Xian did this, to show the respect in his heart, to show the guilt of the first emperor.
Liu Xieqiang endured the excitement in his heart and asked, "Brother Huang, has the Queen Mother ever been well?" ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! The Queen Mother and King Hongnong are in good health! ”
The conversation between the two shocked Wang Yun, Liu Biao and others.
Who is the Queen Mother? Is it Empress Dowager Ho? Hongnong King Liu Bian, wasn't he killed by Dong Zhuo? Could it be that none of them died, but were hidden by He Xian.
"I think that at the beginning, General Wei entered the palace, how I hope that the person who will be rescued is not the imperial brother, but me!"
The entire hall was stunned, including He Xian. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Liu Xie still remembers the events of that year and has always been haunted by it.
"The last general is incompetent! The Chongde Hall is heavily defended, and the last general really can't kill it! He Xian said apologetically. In fact, in the original plan, the rescue of Liu Xie was a disguise, in order to attract the Xiliang army stationed in the palace to shrink and encircle, so as to achieve the purpose of rescuing Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He. Liu Xie, the child who was only eight years old at the time, was actually abandoned by He Xian from the beginning.
But Liu Xie didn't seem to know the details, just like when he hid in the Chongde Hall and prayed, he thought that He Xian really wanted to save him.
"I know, so I don't blame you! When you came today, I wanted to ask you a question. “
"Your Majesty, please speak! The last general will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up! He Xian said without hesitation.
Liu Xie asked: "I heard that you swore in front of the first emperor that you would always be loyal to the Han family and the Son of Heaven, but is there such a thing?" “
He Xian affirmed: "It's true! “
Liu Xie asked again: "Have you ever forgotten this oath?" “
He Xian touched his heart with his hand and said firmly: "In this life, He Xian will eventually be loyal to the Han Dynasty and will never rebel!" ”
Liu Xie patted the dragon chair and said excitedly: "Okay! Then I order you to take me out of Chang'an! I don't want to stay here anymore! ”
At this moment, the civil and military officials were not just stunned.
Situ Wang Yun immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, please be careful!" Now that the Dong thief has been eliminated, the world is about to be peaceful! Your Majesty should not be rash, you should put the world first! ”
Sikong Liu Biao also stood up and objected: "Chang'an is the former capital of the Han Dynasty and the place where the royal family is prosperous. In the case that Luoyang has been burned by Dong thieves, His Majesty is not in Chang'an, where is he going? “
"The world?" Liu Xie asked with a gloomy face, "Is this world still me?" I tried to promote a small waiter, but I was refuted by you in every way. What is the difference between continuing to stay in Chang'an and being under the authority of Dong thief? ”
Comparing Wang Yun and Liu Biao to Dong Zhuo, this accusation is quite serious! If it is not done well, Situ Wang Yun and Sikong Liu Biao will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun and Liu Biao controlled the government and did not see the young emperor in his eyes. The opinions of the little emperor on the promotion of officials were also not adopted. Liu Xie thought that after Dong Zhuo's death, he would be able to become a real emperor and cultivate cronies, but the reality rejected him very cruelly. Wang Yun and Liu Biao are both party members, and they don't want to see a strong emperor. What's more, Liu Xie's age has become an excellent excuse for them to control power.
Wang Yun and Liu Biao both have the heart to regret their deaths now, and they already knew that they would refuse He Xian to enter Chang'an. If He Xian didn't come to Chang'an, Emperor Han wouldn't have produced these moths. Now that he is complained by the little emperor in front of the ministers, he really can't get off the stage.
