The first leader of the alliance in this book was born, and the book friends are also very rewarding, but the author is unable to add more, ashamed......
*
In the winter of 198 A.D., Xudu.
Above the muddy river, the canopy is like a cloud. The blue-gray Bianliang city wall winds out, I don't know how far it is. The market in the city is full of people's noise, everywhere is crowned and covered, everywhere is rouge flowers, everywhere is warbler singing and dancing.
After all, Jingshi is Jingshi, although it is only two or three years, after all, it has the prosperity of the feet of the Son of Heaven.
In the north palace of the imperial city, which is surrounded by the bustling market of Beijing, there is a newly opened royal garden. There can be several miles in the garden, and in the garden, the flowers have withered, but there are cold plums blooming little by little.
In the plum grove, a pavilion is faintly exposed, and the three words on the horizontal plaque on it are particularly conspicuous Xinghan Pavilion.
A young man, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, plump as jade, wearing a white jade crown, a scarlet shirt, big sleeves fluttering, looking straight like a fairy in the people, but also very brisk, surrounded by everyone, tiger steps and dragons, while walking with a smile. Between the eyebrows, there is a lot of joy, and you can't hide it.
This young man is the last king of the Han Dynasty, the twenty-fourth emperor of the two Han Dynasty, and the puppet Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty in history. At this time, although he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he was full of ups and downs, first by Dong Zhuo's puppet, then by Li Dao and Guo Yan in turn, and finally fled miserably to Luoyang, almost died on the road, and now fell into the hands of the ambitious Cao Cao. Years of puppet life have made his face a little more mature and stoic that does not match his actual age, but at this moment, his demeanor is leisurely and elegant.
After stepping into the pavilion, he closed his eyes and rested. Wang Yue and several tiger ben stood quietly not far behind him. Two palace maids, one on the left and one on the right, kneaded his neck and shoulders behind his back.
A few cases in front of you,
On the table, the four-color imperial dining room carefully burned delicacies, a pot of 30-year-old imperial wine. The opposite side waits for nothing.
What he has to wait for is none other than the Han hussar general Gongsun Bai, the champion of his dreams.
……
Gongsun Bai came straight to the pavilion on the bridge under the leadership of several tiger ben.
I saw the three big characters of "Xinghan Pavilion" in the plum blossom bush from afar, and there was a strange look in my eyes. He froze for a moment before moving on.
As soon as I walked into the corner twenty or thirty steps away in front of the Xinghan Pavilion, as soon as I looked up, I saw a person rising up, as if he was about to meet him. saw that Wang Yue beside him seemed to say something, and sat down again.
As soon as Gongsun Bai saw the appearance of that person, he knew in his heart that he was the great man who was a puppet in history, and when he saw Liu Xie's excited appearance, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Xiao Xiezi. I'm really not your long-lost brother, my cheap dad has been an official in the field all his life, not to mention that he hasn't been a guard for Wang Meiren in the palace or anything, and he hasn't even entered the palace.
Pretending to be forced in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly moved forward, and bowed to Liu Xie under the steps of the pavilion: "Hussar General Gongsun Bai visits Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for ten thousand years." ”
Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and rushed forward to support Gongsun Bai. Hurriedly said: "Gongsun Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, Aiqing has made great achievements for the Han Dynasty, I want to see Aiqing for a long time, I see it today, it's really a hero!" ”
As a trace of his previous life, Gongsun Bai still had the heart of pretending to be forced before he got close, but at this moment, he saw the Ninety-Five Venerable who was above ten thousand people under one person, and saw his expression so sincere, and his expression became slightly excited, and he said excitedly: "Thank you for Your Majesty's love." Weichen is ashamed and dare not be. ”
Liu Xie laughed, personally lifted the wine pot and filled two bottles of wine, and was proud: "This is a good wine treasured in the palace, I have a drink with Aiqing today." Not drunk. ”
Gongsun Bai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is young, you should not drink too much, the Holy Communion is important." ”
Liu Xie laughed and said: "Aiqing's achievements are great, he will be chaotic, resist foreign insults, and suppress rebellion. Fortunately, Ai Qingping Yuan returned against the odds. I should celebrate and get drunk with Ziming. ”
Although he is courteous and diligent in everything, he is either a traitor or a thief, but it can be seen that this little genius is ten percent sincere to himself. In the romance, after Liu Xie heard that Liu Bei was the king of Zhongshan, he was bent on wooing him, calling him Uncle Liu Huang to correct his name, and his purpose was nothing more than to win over Liu Bei and make Cao Cao jealous. In fact, Liu Bei back then was just a small careerist who was lonely and lonely, if it weren't for Cao Cao's sympathy for him, I am afraid he would have been slaughtered a long time ago. At this moment, Gongsun Bai is a real and powerful faction, even Cao Cao has to look up to him, and judging from his relationship with Liu Yu, he is also loyal to the Han family, so he naturally wants to try his best to win over.
In fact, Gongsun Bai at this time was simply a bright light in Liu Xie's confused life.
Gongsun Bai saw the eager look in Liu Xie's eyes, and his heart was also hot: "This is Your Majesty's blessing, and the ministers dare not take credit." ”
Liu Xie waved his hand, raised his glass and said, "Come, Aiqing doesn't have to excuse himself, drink!" ”
After saying that, I drank it all. Gongsun Bai had no choice but to dry it up.
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Xie's eyes were already slightly drunk, but Gongsun Bai did not change his face and his heart did not beat, how could he get drunk with this kind of wine that was about the same degree as beer in later generations.
Liu Xie's eyes showed a misty look, and he smiled with wine: "I don't know how much Ziming Guigeng is?" ”
Gongsun Bai was stunned in his heart, brother, you asked my age for no reason, don't you want to be a matchmaker for me? I'm a man with a wife, so I can't let your princess sister be a concubine for Benhou, right? Do you still want Benhou to demote his wife to a concubine, how can this be reasonable!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said with a righteous face: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is twenty-two this year. ”
Liu Xie looked stunned, stretched out his fingers and slowly calculated, revealing a strange and mysterious look.
Gongsun Bai's heart jumped:, this kid is not giving Ben Hou and a certain Gongsun a birthday, this is not good, I should tell him that Ben Hou is already a famous grass.
was puzzled, but heard Liu Xie smile: "Five years older than me." ”
When Gongsun Bai heard this, he almost sprayed wine. , did you graduate from elementary school, how old are you still like a fortune teller?
However, when Gongsun Bai was still anxious about Liu Xiexue's math results, he heard a sentence like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "I and Aiqing, at first sight, why don't we become brothers?" ”
In an instant, there was silence all around, not only Gongsun Bai was dumbfounded, but Wang Yue and the others beside him were even more shocked, unable to believe their ears.
Lie in a big groove, little brother. You've done your best to win people's hearts! As soon as your tiger body was shocked, Ben Hou almost bowed his head and worshipped.
In fact, Liu Xie successively experienced the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan. suffered inhuman torture, and almost starved to death on the way to escape, he had already practiced his heart like iron and had a tough personality, but he was just suffering from no strength to back him up. Scheming is not weak. It seems extremely ridiculous to bow to his subordinates, but in fact, it is nothing to him, compared to the fate of the country and himself, it is simply not worth mentioning, you must know that he can even call an old man of unknown origin like Liu Bei.
In this era, the relationship between men and women is naturally married when it reaches the highest stage, but once the friendship between two men reaches its peak, it is not a foundation, but a brother, such as Taoyuan Sanji.
Gongsun Bai looked at Liu Xie in a daze, and hesitated slightly in his heart.
Bow to Liu Xie. Although it will not make people have to be called "Gongsun Huang's brother", it will greatly increase his political prestige, which will naturally be of great benefit in the short term. It's just that from a long-term point of view, if he defeats Cao Cao in the future, rules the world, and then willingly serves Liu Xie as the emperor and becomes a powerful minister, I am afraid that even if he saves his life, it will also harm his descendants. In all dynasties, there was no powerful minister with high merit. You can have a good death. So, to put it simply, it is almost inevitable to stand on your own in the future, but if you worship the Han Emperor and openly take over the world. I'm afraid it will be criticized by the world.
However, this hesitation only lasted for a few seconds, and in the face of Liu Xie's strong request, he agreed after some pushback. Tang Seng is still the royal brother of Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, what is Lao Tzu the royal brother of a puppet emperor?
So, among the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden. Prepared for the black ox and white horse ceremony, etc., two handsome and peerless young men, burning incense and worshipping.
"Although Liu Xie and Gongsun Bai have different surnames, and the monarchs and ministers are different, they are brothers, they work together and are like-minded. Death and life are entrusted, and good and evil are rescued; Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and adversity and adversity help each other. The emperor and the queen of heaven have learned from this heart; Treachery and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together! ”
Liu Xie read a sentence, and Gongsun Bai followed suit, and secretly slandered himself in his heart:, am I the eldest brother, or are you the eldest brother? But fortunately, Liu Xie did not say "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year".
After an oath, Gongsun Bai became the royal brother of the Han Dynasty, known as the "Plum Garden Alliance" in history.
The two brothers have different thoughts.
Liu Xie, the son of heaven, couldn't suppress the joy in his expression, and his eyes were even brighter, no matter what, now he has worshiped this oath "Death and life are trusted, and good and evil are saved; Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and help each other in adversity", Cao Cao acted in front of him in the future, and he had to weigh and weigh it.
But Gongsun Bai was thinking about another thing in his heart. What he thinks about is that the king's voice of "Royal Brother Brother" in the Journey to the West TV series is crispy, and he has to let a few women in the family call "Royal Brother Brother" a few times to listen to it another day.

In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao was drinking with Cheng Yu and others in the mansion, and his face was gloomy.
The soldiers and horses of the princes of the Five Roads occupied the south gate of Xudu, making Cao Cao very passive. The soldiers and horses of the princes, although they gathered at the south gate, but there were also many soldiers who sneaked into the city when they were not on duty, taking the opportunity to make trouble, disturbing the people, and even fighting with his subordinates.
For this reason, he deliberately increased the defenders on the periphery of the palace, but his heart was still unsteady.
He only hoped that the little emperor Liu Xie would reward the princes for their merits as soon as possible, and let the princes withdraw their troops and leave as soon as possible, but Liu Xie didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and there was no movement for three days in a row.
A personal soldier hurriedly rushed in and said hurriedly: "Lord Qi, the palace has come to report, Your Majesty has summoned Gongsun Hussar." ”
Cao Cao's face changed instantly, and after thinking for a while, he immediately shouted: "Let the good students in the palace investigate, and report immediately, there must be no mistakes!" ”
Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's face became extremely ugly, and couldn't help but comfort: "Gongsun Bai won the first merit in breaking the city and killing the rebellion in this battle, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to summon him first, please be relieved." ”
Cao Cao nodded slightly, UU read the book (ukashu.com) his face was slightly softened, but his eyes still showed a restless look, and he continued to drink sullen wine, waiting for the palace to continue to report.
I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao was already clearly showing an irritable look, and finally saw the personal soldier rushing in again in a hurry.
No, the pro-soldier simply ran in and fell, and his expression was obviously not calm.
"Lord Qi, Your Majesty is in the imperial garden, burning incense with Gongsun Bai, and calling Gongsun Bai the emperor's brother."
"What?"
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and the others were instantly messy, stunned, and their faces were dazed and shocked.
After a long time, Cao Cao's expression gradually eased, but his face changed to a calm look. This peerless hero, once he encounters a big problem or a big setback, he will become extremely calm and stable.
He pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde helped the official draft a post, and the official wants to invite Gongsun Hussar to come to the mansion to drink and talk." (To be continued.) )
