Chapter 58: Rumors

(Thank you for the full score evaluation of the book friend "Fang Fuyun", thank you for subscribing~)

"The sky will be in chaos, and there will be demon stars; Where is the demon star? Out of the North Cypriot; The court follows the gold, and the twilight follows the national thief; The heart of private is obvious; A very human minister, for the disaster of the world......"

This is a rumor that has been widely circulated in the corners and alleys of Luoyang Street without knowing when it began.

The reason why rumors are rumors is because they can't be put on the table, so in many cases, the place where they were first born was between the bottom of such a market.

But one of the biggest characteristics of rumors is that the speed of transmission is very fast, because everyone is born with a gossip heart, gossip about others, especially celebrities, not to mention, that is the best conversation among parents after tea and dinner, otherwise, twelve hours a day, it is impossible to do things and eat, drink and sleep for so long, you have to have entertainment activities early, and this is the simplest and most cost-effective entertainment activity.

For ordinary people in the market, they may not know the meaning of this rumor, and they may not even know who it is about, but they don't need to know, and naturally some people will associate this rumor with someone, and then in turn pass it on through their mouths, all the way to the mouths of the upper magnates, to the ministers, to the court, and even to the palace and the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Liu Xie had just finished bathing, and when the palace people asked to see him, he was combing his long hair under the service of the palace women.

This is not the Qing Dynasty, and the magnates are still very hygienic and tidy. Although it is not as good as the later generations, the Son of Heaven has to bathe and change his clothes at least once a few days, and for example, before the minister receives the holy decree, he also needs to bathe and change his clothes, dress himself neatly and brightly, and then go to meet the holy decree, and every time before the court, he also needs to be cleaned, otherwise it is disrespectful to the emperor, and the size is a crime.

When I came in. The bun on Liu Xie's head was just tied up. He saw that Fu Guozhang's face was gloomy, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he retreated to the end, leaving only the two of them and his personal eunuch. Only then did he ask, "What do you mean by the country's majesty?" ”

Fu Wan didn't go around in circles with him. Straight to the point, he said in a deep voice: "The minister is here." Or to exhort His Majesty, do your best to take back your life. ”

Liu Xie's face couldn't help but sink, and the so-called retraction became his life. Naturally, he withdrew his appointment to Lu Bu, which can be described as his proud work, and he didn't think of a position that didn't matter to him - because he actually couldn't hold the post of Tai Lieutenant at all, he could actually exchange it for an army force of his own, and he coveted the 100,000 Xiliang troops left by Li Yu and others in Yuzhou.

Although he faintly felt that this matter was not so simple, but in the face of the huge temptation, Liu Xie still couldn't control himself, he was dominated by desire and a hot mind, and he simply didn't want to do this kind of thing, and he wouldn't really go his own way.

Unexpectedly, Fu Wan then said: "I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard this rumor?" Without waiting for Liu Xie's response, he recounted the rumors, and finally said: "The minister still hopes that His Majesty can think twice!" ”

Liu Xie was stunned and was silent for a long time, but in the end he just sighed: "I also know that there is danger in this, but if it is not, how much time does Fu Guozhang think that it will take me to have the strength to truly obey my orders, so that when facing the princes of the world, I can at least have the capital to protect myself?" Besides, a rumor can be counted as nothing, maybe who spread it. ”

said so, but Liu Xie's tone was a little shaken compared to Fang Cai, and naturally he was still affected by the rumors, but the impact of Lu Bu's temptation may be greater.

Liu Xie is very clear that now it is because the major princes are still secretly checking and balancing each other, and they also need the signboard of the Han Young Son of Heaven who has been successfully shaped by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, so the respect for Liu Xie on the surface is indispensable, but who knows when this unstable position will be overturned, what Liu Xie urgently needs is the means of self-preservation, and being able to have it in a short time is the straw that Lu Bu stretched out - 100,000 Xiliang Army, This is the lifesaver that knows that it is a risk, but still wants to try.

Fu Wan also knew this, but he never wanted to take risks, whether it was for himself, the family behind him, or the little emperor, so he said eagerly: "If Your Majesty really wants to revive the Han family, you must be patient and accumulate strength, rather than being so eager to rely on external forces." Has His Majesty forgotten that the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to enter the Luoyang and Cholera Dynasty was because he was eager to introduce them to fight against the forces of the Ten Standing Servants? ”

(Digression: The one who summoned Dong Zhuo here became He Hou, not He Jin, the plot needs ~)

The "Empress He" in his mouth is the former Empress Dowager He, Liu Wei's biological mother, and Liu Xie's mother-in-law, but when it comes to this woman, the current Liu Xie only has disgust, because she is the murderer of Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren, whom everyone in the palace knows but can't say.

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Xie's face became even more gloomy, this time it was not because of anything else, it was because he thought of Empress Dowager He.

However, he quickly calmed down, and he was also thinking about the words of Fu Wan, I have to say that even if he has more thoughts in his heart, from a conservative point of view, Fu Wan is the most reasonable and correct.

In fact, if it weren't for the words that Lu Bu said at the court meeting that day, the heavy temptation thrown out, in the fierce opposition of the courtiers and princes, it is really hard to say whether he would be able to persevere, even for the sake of the emperor's face, he could revoke it later, anyway, it was all in a word.

But now, whenever he hesitated and wavered, it was as if a voice in his heart was repeating to him "100,000 army, 100,000 army" with a 12-point temptation.

In the end, he shook his head and said: "This time is not the same as that time, at that time, there was no one to check and balance Dong Thief, but then Lu Fengxian still had Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu and others who could threaten him, and he didn't dare to act rashly." ”

Fu Wan smiled bitterly: "But if Your Majesty is bent on supporting this Lu Fengxian, then how should Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu deal with themselves?" ”

In fact, Fu Wan still supported Liu Xie's idea, and he also felt that it would be beneficial for them to support such a powerful prince as Lu Bu, but as the opponents above the court appeared one after another, at that time he felt that it was not wise to be against so many people who were not light for a Lu Bu, after all, a Lu Bu could not bear so many people, but he might put Liu Xie himself in, it was better to watch their princes fight and fight by themselves, and Liu Xie would be a fisherman next to him first.

And now, it is best not to offend Cao Mengde and them, otherwise it will only be Liu Xie himself who will suffer in the end.

Of course, there are some words that he didn't say so clearly, after all, although he is close to Liu Xie, but Liu Xie is the emperor in the end, and some words are very taboo, and you must be cautious.

But maybe it was his caution, this kind of persuasion was useless to Liu Xie at all, Liu Xie was still stubborn, and he didn't care about maybe he would completely offend Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, and he was also saying that he really had an army of 100,000 in his hands, did he still need to care about them?

In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh after the end, and retreated gloomily.

At this time, Lu Bu, who was learning martial arts with Zhang Liao in the house, also received the news of rumors.

Standing on the edge of the martial arts arena, Lu Bu pinched the thin letterhead in his hand, this is the latest paper product developed in the workshop in Bingzhou, the process can be said to be very complicated, and the natural cost is also quite high, it is really a big waste to use it to record news, but the number of times is not much anyway.

Zhang Liao also came over at this time, and he handed the letterhead to the latter, who glanced at Lu Bu a few times, looked at Lu Bu with some surprise, and said, "Is this Wen Hou?" ”

There is nothing else on it, it is that message, Zhang Liao can see at once that it is Lu Bu who is talking about it, and of course others should be able to see it.

As for the attitude of other people after receiving the rumors, there is no need to go out of their way to investigate, Lu Bu can also guess anything, and even who is behind the scenes, he does not have the slightest doubt, and it doesn't matter, the important thing is that since there is a move over there, how will he deal with it here?
