Lu Bu was really overwhelmed by the burden of the night, and in the light of a quarter of an hour, he fell into a deep sleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, the vigil was nothing to him, but this premise was if he had something to do. You let him sit at the door, watching the sleeping emperor, and his spirit was tense, and he would be exhausted in a few hours.

Seeing that there was some bright color outside the window, Lu Bu relieved himself, leaned against the door frame, and fell asleep.

"Xun Aiqing, Aiqing, wake up quickly!"

Xun Gang slept soundly, but he didn't expect to suddenly feel pushed by someone; He opened his heavy eyelids and didn't look back, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Xie calling there.

Don't think that the emperor's life is very nourishing, sometimes in the early dynasty, you have to get up before dawn, which is a torment for a ten-year-old boy. Therefore, Xun Gang was not surprised that Liu Xie woke up so early.

Xun Gang yawned, rubbed his eyes that didn't wake up, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with calling the ministers?" ”

"Shh

As soon as the words came out, Xun Gang's mouth was covered instantly, and he sobered up a lot. Liu Xie pointed to Lu Bu not far away, who was already asleep; Xun Gang was puzzled, even if Lu Bu slept to death, it would be meaningless!

"Xun Aiqing, hurry up!"

As soon as the emperor gave an order, I saw that the two little eunuchs who had been in the room hurriedly tiptoed over and dressed the emperor. These two are cronies cultivated by Liu Xie, and they are not afraid that the two will go to the snitch or something.

Liu Xie was wearing regular clothes, not as grand as he was wearing yesterday, and he walked a lot briskly. He whispered a few words in the ears of the two eunuchs, and the two eunuchs hurriedly responded and sneaked out of the door, naturally, without waking Lu Bu up.

It didn't take long for the two eunuchs to go out, and Liu Xie also pulled Xun Gang and walked out secretly; The two of them were children, and it was unlikely that a slight step would wake Lu Bu up.

"Where does Your Majesty want to take your ministers?" Xun Gang had just woken up, and his head was still very blurry; He didn't know what Liu Xie had in mind, and he didn't know why he was so excited.

Under the leadership of Liu Xie, the two quietly walked to the door of yesterday's face saint; Although most of the soldiers around him were Dong Zhuo's cronies, as long as Liu Xie didn't do anything out of line, they would turn a blind eye.

The gardens outside the house are rich and diverse, with trees and flowers from all over the country. Not far away, however, a cloud of smoke rose in the forest, out of place with the scene.

It was an apricot grove, and since it was June, the apricot trees were just ripening; Large, plump apricots hang in front of the tree, making it a mouth-watering sight. There were faint figures in the apricot grove, as if they were waiting for someone.

Suddenly, Liu Xie became serious, his expression was no longer as excited as before, almost making Xun Gang think that something big had happened.

He let go of Xun Gang's hand and said in a deep voice: "Xun Gang, although I come." ”

At this moment, Xun Gang actually felt that the young emperor's order made him unable to resist, and the coexistence of majesty and domineering made him look sideways.

"Weichen Command!"

The two of them walked down the white marble stairs with solemn steps. Every step they took was slow, as if something was brewing; After landing, two more eunuchs greeted him, kowtowed respectfully to Liu Xie, and led the two towards the apricot forest.

When I turned my head, I saw that there was a long and wide road in the apricot forest, which was usually used for the emperor to admire the almond trees; Twenty-four eunuchs stood on the side of the road, and when they saw the emperor coming, they knelt down and kowtowed.

Liu Xie seems to be the real emperor only in front of these eunuchs; At that moment, he felt inexplicably sad.

But once this step is completed, he will have one more loyal servant.

The two of them walked slowly towards the end of the apricot grove, and at the end there was a table with horses, oxen, and sheep on it, which were the first-class horses, the second-class cattle, and the third-class sheep; This is the most conventional three animals from the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and it must be on the most solemn occasion to use these three animals.

In addition to the three animals, there are peaches, persimmons and newly picked apricots and other fruits for the gods, there is a delicate incense burner in the middle, carved jade dragon and golden phoenix, standing incense fire rises curling smoke.

"Your Majesty, this ......"

Xun Gang was very puzzled, he didn't know what the emperor was going to do, even if he wanted to sacrifice heaven and earth, it would have to be on a more serious occasion.

But seeing Liu Xie smiling, he turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Xun Aiqing, are you willing to marry me as a brother of the opposite sex?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Xun Gang was shocked at the time, no wonder the emperor secretly got up early in the morning, it turned out to be planning this matter! Xun Gang was very frightened, how many courtiers in ancient times could be called brothers with the emperor? I'm afraid that I can't find a few in the history books!

Xun Gang immediately knelt on the ground, didn't even dare to say it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's golden body, how can you be called the same as Brother Weichen?" Wechen dare not be ashamed! ”

Liu Xie smiled and helped Xun Gang up, and said: "Xun Gang, this government and the opposition are full of old ministers, and there are very few people who can be the same age as me. You are a world-famous prodigy, and you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and you are not much different from me, so why should you care about your reputation? Don't hide it, if it weren't for your ministers and my king, I'm afraid that you and I would be friends! ”

"Panic!"

"What are you afraid of? I've already said it, don't say such polite words! Liu Xie smiled and welcomed Xun Gang to the table, "When I saw you yesterday, I felt very cordial; What's more, you still talked to me for one night under Dong Zhuo's pressure, I'm afraid that you and I are already friends of life and death! ”

Liu Xie's words, Xun Gang really couldn't refute them; Xun Gang never expected that this little ten-year-old emperor would be so able to buy people's hearts, and he was willing to lower his stature and become brothers with his courtiers to consolidate his power.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no power in his hands, he would definitely be the next Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty......

"If Your Majesty has an order, Weichen will not dare to say goodbye!"

It also seems that it is a good choice to be a brother to the emperor; Although the power of this emperor may not even be as good as his own Yuzhou pastor, but so what?

When he has the right to do so, he has the name of the emperor and commands the world, who dares to resign?

"Come on Xun Gang, from today onwards, you don't have to call me Your Majesty, I don't have to call you Aiqing; I am the emperor's brother, and you are my emperor's brother! ”

The two knelt in front of the table and picked up the wine in front of the case, Liu Xie sacrificed to the sky: "Today, Liu Xie and Xun Gang are willing to become brothers of the opposite sex, for the Han family and the country with one heart and one mind, and for the common people in the world to die without complaints, if there is anyone who violates this wish, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”

Ancient righteous brothers all spoke so cruelly...... Xun Gang was a little speechless, but since they were all here, he also swore to the sky seriously: "Xun Gang is willing to be a righteous brother and dedicate himself to the Han family!" ”

After that, the two picked up the two glasses of wine on the table, and when they arrived at Brother Sheng, they drank it all. Although according to the etiquette, the two of them are not allowed to drink, but in the palace, if the emperor asks you to drink, you must drink.

"It is a blessing for all the people in the world to have such a virtuous brother in the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Xie's jokes made Xun Gang's eyes extremely serious; Originally, he had no goal, and he didn't do anything by occupying the position of Yuzhou pastor. But now, since he has become Liu Xie's brother-in-law, he must dedicate his life to the Han family.

This is faithfulness, and those who betray it will be destroyed by heaven and earth!

"Your Majesty's words, the foolish brother is ashamed; There is only one thing, give instructions to my brother! ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

Xun Gang said in a deep voice: "If there is chaos today, I don't know when the world can return to the governance of the Han family; If there is that day, I hope my brother can let me guard the Northern Regions! ”

If these words are said by ordinary people, it is a great sin of disrespect; But Liu Xie is very tolerant of Xun Gang and is not taboo about this matter at all. Since Xun Gang asked for his life like this, he just nodded and agreed; Because it's still early for this kind of thing!

The sun rises in the east, but this apricot forest is also facing the east, and the huge red sun rises in the sky, which makes the two people feel relaxed and happy at this moment; The breeze blows, and the leaves of the apricot grove blow loudly, as if the heaven and earth are cut off.

Qing Li Yu Youyun: The tree sexual prostitute is none other than apricots; In the pre-Qin period, the apricot tree was extremely sacred. Confucius once set up an apricot altar, surrounded by apricot trees, the sound of books, and the master stroked the piano. Around the altar of red apricots hanging hair, according to the tree and white clouds flying, how to look like a fairy temple?

Now, although there are many fewer heroes in this apricot forest, it has more political colors; If this kind of friendship is not added to by future generations, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate.

Six years after the Taoyuan uprising, two people in Chang'an City formed a low-key alliance and vowed to return the world to the fertile land of the Han Dynasty!

The history is called "the worship of the apricot forest", and later generations call the brotherhood between the monarch and the minister, so it is called the "friend of the apricot forest".
