Chapter 214: Stepping Stones
Liu Xuan held the Chixiao Sword and asked, "The Prime Minister is holding the sword in his hand, is he planning to try the sword himself?" ”
Dong Zhuo's hand holding the sword trembled, his expression was a little nervous, and he instantly regained his calm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Xuan's martial arts are exquisite, and Dong Zhuo has heard of it for a long time. Dong Zhuo and Liu Xuan fought each other, but he was not afraid that Liu Xuan would kill him, after all, Liu Xuan married Dong Han and was his son-in-law. Dong Zhuo was worried that he would lose face by trying the sword with Liu Xuan, so it would not be worth it, after all, in front of the courtiers, he should pay attention to his image.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "When you fight with you, it's a big bully. Where is Lu Bu? ”
"The last general!"
Lu Bu was burly, stood up with his head held high, and spoke with his fists clenched.
Dong Zhuo commanded: "Take the sword!" Dong Zhuo threw the sword in his hand to Lu Bu and ordered, "You and Liu Xuan try the sword." ”
"The last will obey."
Lu Bu agreed, walked in front of Liu Xuan with a sword, smiled, and arched his hand: "Shizi, offended!" Lu Bu had a good impression of Liu Xuan, because Liu Xuan helped him control Yang Feng's forces, which made his strength increase.
Liu Xuan said: "General Lu doesn't have to be polite, please." ”
"The prince of the world, please!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and motioned for Liu Xuan to make a move first.
Liu Xuan was not polite, and the Chixiao Sword was slowly raised in his hand. His eyes suddenly froze, and with a low cry in his mouth, the Chixiao Sword slashed straight out.
"Whew!"
The sword light broke through the air and let out a sharp roar. The cold and solemn light flashed in the air.
Lu Bu's expression was calm, he pulled a sword flower, and greeted him casually.
Two weapons, head-on.
"Bell!"
The collision of blades and blades, sparks splashed everywhere, making a screeching sound.
The moment the two swords collided, they each withdrew.
After Liu Xuan stood still, a touch of shock flashed in his eyes. It was a clash of two swords just now, but it was also a contest of strength between Lu Bu and Liu Xuan. When the two fought each other, Liu Xuan noticed that Lu Bu was not affected in any way, but Liu Xuan's sword was slightly numb, and there was a trace of pain in his arm, which showed how strong Lu Bu's strength was.
"Come, the prime minister personally examines the extent of the damage of the two swords."
Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to walk up to Lu Bu and picked up his sword.
"Shhh
Dong Zhuo glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp, his face was not good-looking. In the place where the collision just now, there was already an extra gap, and with this gap, Dong Zhuo's saber was scrapped.
Liu Xuan smiled and asked, "Prime Minister, how is the damage to your sword?" ”
This is, which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo had a headache, and Liu Xuan directly made up for it.
Dong Zhuo smiled awkwardly, and then said with a serious expression: "There is a small gap." ”
Liu Xuan mentioned the Chixiao Sword and said: "The Chixiao Sword is not damaged at all, without a trace of imprint. ”
"This phase has to be tried for the first time."
Dong Zhuo didn't believe it very much, after all, his sword was also a divine weapon, and it was a hundred refined steel. He took the Chixiao Sword and examined it carefully. After watching it twice, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but glance at Liu Xuan resentfully, he is your father-in-law, and his daughter has been given to you, and now you don't give any face.
Dong Zhuo couldn't deny it in front of the ministers, and said loudly: "The Chixiao Sword presented by Liu Xuanjin is indeed a divine weapon, and it is a real Chixiao Sword. ”
Liu Xuan arched his hand and said: "The prime minister is wise! ”
Dong Zhuo was very unhappy, but he could only eat Coptis dumbly. He snorted and returned the Chixiao Sword to Liu Xuan, and then the attendant came over and took the Chixiao Sword and handed it to the little emperor.
At this time, Liu Xie was excited.
Chixiao Sword!
Gaozu Emperor Liu Bang's Chixiao Sword has appeared, could it be that Gaozu is about to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty?
Liu Xie's mind was precocious, he glanced at Chixiao Sword, his mind turned, and he had an idea in a blink of an eye. Liu Xie stared at Liu Xuan and said slowly: "Liu Xuanjin offered the Chixiao Sword, and I was very relieved. But the Chixiao Sword is in my hands, and it can only be hidden in the court. In front of all Aiqing, I gave the Chixiao Sword to Liu Xuan, hoping that he would expand his territory and reproduce the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty. ”
"Wow!"
In the main hall, there was a discussion again.
The courtiers were surprised, they didn't expect the little emperor to have this one.
They looked at Liu Xie, and there was even more surprise in their eyes.
Liu Xie's method can be described as a classic.
"Silence!"
The eunuch beside the little emperor scolded loudly.
In an instant, the hall fell silent.
Liu Xie said: "Liu Xuan, don't you come forward yet?" He stood up, picked up the Chixiao Sword and walked down the hall and came to Liu Xuan's side. Liu Xuan stood in front of the little emperor, stretched out his hand to take the Chixiao Sword, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”
"Excuse me!"
Liu Xie returned to his seat, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was very proud of what he had just done.
Although he was young, he had been through countless things.
It is not difficult for him to win over Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan put the Chixiao Sword back into the sandalwood box, and then returned to his seat. Liu Xuan glanced up at Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's face sank like water, his eyes were angry, and he was obviously very unhappy.
Liu Xuan glanced at the little emperor again, and secretly said that this little emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Liu Xie can hold back his love for the Chixiao Sword, and he can give up the Chixiao Sword, this mind is not simple.
In Liu Xuan's view, Liu Xieci's sword has two meanings.
First, Liu Xie wanted to win over Liu Xuan and make Liu Xuan loyal to the royal family.
Second, Liu Xie wanted to separate Liu Xuan and Dong Zhuo. The news that Liu Xuan married Dong Han had already spread in Chang'an City, and although the little emperor lived in the deep palace, it was impossible not to know. Giving the sword in public is to make Dong Zhuo have a pimple.
Liu Xuan sneered in his heart, although Liu Xie was born smart, it is a pity that his heart is higher than heaven and his life is thinner than paper.
Liu Xie in history is completely a tragedy.
Although Liu Xie had great ambitions, he was first controlled by Dong Zhuo and then by Li Dao. Li Dao and Guo Yan fought among themselves, and Liu Xie was controlled by Yang Feng and transferred to Cao Cao's hands.
After Cao Cao's death, he was controlled by Cao Pi again.
Liu Xie always wanted to get rid of the control of the ministers, but in the end he was unsuccessful, and was usurped by Cao Pi.
Dong Zhuo regained his composure, and said with a straight face: "Liu Xuan, Your Majesty gave you the Chixiao Sword because he has high hopes for you. You must not live up to Your Majesty's ardent expectations of you, and do not let you down. ”
Liu Xuan's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Liu Xuan should do his best to serve the court." ”
The little emperor is not mentioned in the words, Dong Zhuo is not mentioned, only the imperial court.
As for how the little emperor and Dong Zhuo understood the imperial court, it was their business, and it had nothing to do with Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan knew that Dong Zhuo was uncomfortable, but he didn't do anything out of line, and Dong Zhuo couldn't target him, so Liu Xuan wasn't worried.
Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger and felt very angry in his heart. Dong Zhuo celebrated Liu Xie's birthday, and his purpose was to show the jade seal he sent to cast the heirloom jade, in order to suppress the courtiers and establish prestige. But Dong Zhuo never expected that Liu Xuan would take out the Chixiao Sword and stir up the good situation, so that Liu Xuan was perfected, and he became Liu Xuan's stepping stone.
Dong Zhuo lost interest, and the atmosphere of the birthday celebration was a little stiff.
After eating lunch at noon, Dong Zhuo lost interest and left first.
Dong Zhuo left, and the courtiers also dispersed.
One by one, the ministers left, and when Liu Xuan was about to leave, a eunuch quietly came to Liu Xuan's side and said respectfully: "The son is slow, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”
"No!"
Liu Xuan asked Kong Rong to leave first, and he took the Chixiao Sword to Liu Xie's dormitory.
