Chapter 207, the bloody court
Luoyang Nangong Jiade Palace, before the court meeting.
The little emperor Liu Xie was sitting at the back of the hall and was about to enter the palace, but he was a little uneasy at this time.
For some reason, he remembered his father who had died, and the imperial brother who claimed to have hanged himself.
If it was earlier, he would have to add his own mother, she was killed by the first queen mother, Liu Xie knew it since he was a child, but he would rather not know, because he had to go to visit his mother-killing enemy every morning, and he would affectionately call her the queen mother, and it was also from then on that he began to hide his heart, even if he didn't say a word to his best imperial brother.
The reality is actually very ridiculous, he doesn't want to be the emperor, he knows that it is not easy to do a good job in this position, the imperial brother has repeatedly told him in private that he would rather not have this throne, it is really uncomfortable to sit, he does not have much authority in his hands, he has become the puppet of the queen and the general, and now he has become the puppet of Xiangguo.
Thinking of that man, Liu Xie's immature eyes flashed with hatred.
He has never hated a person so deeply, even for the Empress Dowager, he has never hated him so much, because he has gradually grown up, and the first year of Chuping is almost over, and he will be one year older, but he seems to have not changed, he sits in that position, but the power that this position should enjoy is still far away for him, and sometimes he hates himself deeply, why don't he know how to resist, is he willing to become someone else's puppet?
No, I absolutely don't!
At this time, another name crashed into his mind, it was so abrupt, but it made his heart suddenly excited, this name seemed to have a kind of magic, in fact, Liu Xie's ears rarely heard this name, he heard most often is the name of the big fat man he hated the most, in today's palace, people talk about him the most, but I don't know why, since last night, Liu Xie's mind has been turning this name all the time. Every time it made him feel his blood boiling.
Every time. He remembered all the legends he had heard of the name, and he believed that not all of them were true, but he was still moved by the heroism of the man, and the reason why it was so was because of a vague thought in his mind - what if he was loyal to me?
He is destined to be the Son of Heaven, which cannot be changed and makes him powerless to change. And the longer he stays in this position, the more he seems to feel that he was born to be such a person, and this throne should belong to him, he doesn't want to just be someone else's puppet, but he doesn't have that strength yet.
"陛xià、陛xià......"
The continuous calls finally brought Liu Xie, who was out of the world, back to reality, and he looked back at his inner servant who repeatedly called out. His eyes were full of unpretentious concern, which made Liu Xie sigh involuntarily, he would rather use all the chamberlains in the palace in exchange for the loyalty of a person who has the power to fight, only that is useful to himself, unconsciously, the young Tianzi's heart seems to have grown again, but I don't know if this is a kind of maturity.
"What's wrong with Majesty?" The chamberlain looked at Liu Xie. The worry on his face is also sincere.
Liu Xie shook his head. The chamberlain didn't care, and then reminded: "Your Majesty." It's time to go to court. ”
Liu Xie was silent, then suddenly stood up and "changed his clothes......"
"Upper Dynasty ......"
"Upper Dynasty ......"
……
With the sound passed on, the court meeting at the end of December of the first year of the Han Dynasty officially began.
The Jiade Hall is not on the main axis of the South Palace, but this is the important place where the court is now located, and today's court meeting will be held here, and this time the court meeting is not a routine morning and evening court, but it was initiated by Xiangguo Dong Zhuo, but with his current deterrent, and he can also fake the name of the Son of Heaven, there are really few people who dare not to give face.
First of all, the ministers walked in the main hall one after another, and then the emperor Liu Xie, surrounded by the inner servants, entered the main hall from the back of the palace, and he stepped out of every step extremely solidly, which looked up at the position that he was not close to, the throne of Jinluan was in front of him, it was not the first time he walked like this, and it was not the first time he saw this position, but today's mood is definitely different.
Liu Xie felt that his breathing was much shorter, and the attendant next to him didn't notice it, until Liu Xie suddenly stopped in place and didn't move, he felt a little abnormal, looked at Liu Xie's straight gaze, and reminded in a hurry in a whisper: "Your Majesty, the ministers are watching......"
Liu Xie shook his head, but he glared at the servant who disturbed him, and there was the majesty of the real emperor hidden in that glance, which made the waiter stagnate, and almost thought it was an illusion.
Liu Xie didn't care about him anymore, continued to walk forward, stepped onto the throne, knelt down, his posture was upright, there was almost no deviation, and the bead curtain in front of his forehead only flickered slightly, and it returned to normal.
After all, the imperial majesty is not learned in vain, Liu Xie's set of tricks is very good, at least Dong Zhuo, who walked up to the hall next, only had a sinister aura that could not be dispersed all over his body, which was admittedly terrifying, but it was not enough to attract respect.
Dong Zhuo, who finally had a calm face, stood beside the throne, with his back to Liu Xie, facing the ministers of civil and military affairs, his right hand pressed on his waist and the sword on his waist, and his left hand was supported on his waist, which was not like participating in the court meeting but more like reviewing the army.
However, the atmosphere of the court today is really strange, and the entire Deyang Hall was shrouded in silence from the beginning.
Dong Zhuo should have felt that he had long been accustomed to this, after all, the past and this time were actually not much different, but he still noticed the abnormality in it, standing above the court, he was shocked when he looked at it, and then his face sank, and he asked the attendant next to him: "Why have so many ministers not arrived?" ”
"Qi Xiangguo, Taiwei Huangfu Song said that his illness has not yet ......arrived" Among the three dukes, in addition to Huangfu Song, the other two Situ Wang Yun and Sikong Xun Shuang Dong Zhuo all knew where they were now, but they didn't need to listen to him continue to say more, so they directly interrupted and asked: "What about the other ministers other than the three dukes?" ”
"Zuo Zhonglang overworked Cai Yong and fell ill due to overwork in compiling history, and took leave ......"
"Guanglu doctor Huang Wan called ...... sick"
"Guanglu doctor Yang Biao contracted the disease, saying that the illness did not reach ......"
……
Every time the close attendant read a name, Dong Zhuo's face became more and more gloomy, and in the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, and directly shouted: "Enough......"
Then he looked at the only remaining civil and military ministers below who were either wavering or already belonging to his faction, and smiled contemptuously: "What are they doing, don't they think it's child's play above the court?" ”
So many people don't come at the same time, and the reasons are almost the same, maybe there are all kinds of reasons for getting sick, but the reasons for not coming are all sickness, what kind of disease? Heart disease, Dong Zhuo knows very well that this is them wrestling with themselves.
Liu Xieben also wanted to ask why General Fenwei didn't come today, but it can be seen that Dong Zhuo is so angry, and for some reason he finally didn't have the courage to ask.
He also hated his uselessness in his heart, but his fear of Dong Zhuo had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and at this moment, Dong Zhuo was like an angry lion, almost catching anyone and biting whom, in Liu Xie's heart, he still felt that it was better for him to hide behind and not come out at this time.
Liu Xie was not mistaken, Dong Zhuo was indeed furious at this time, he chose people to eat, what Lu Bu did was simply a betrayal in his opinion, he didn't take into account that he wanted to do it to Lu Bu first, and so many ministers in the court today simply didn't arrive, and they were sick and born so neatly? didn't even find an excuse to find a better one, it was simply fooling him Dong Zhuo, completely unforgivable, this once again lit the flame in his heart, making him feel like there was a mountain of flames burning in his heart at the moment, if he didn't vent it, I was afraid that his chest would explode.
"Do you still have a certain in your eyes, do you come to the court meeting convened by Dong Zhongying?" In the huge palace, only Dong Zhuo's voice echoed.
Li Ru below saw this scene, and he had to sigh, if Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo were in the next game of chess at this moment, then Lu Bu had already won at this time, because many times in chess, the first one to mess up loses, and now Dong Zhuo is already in chaos.
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's eyes froze, staring at one of the ministers below, and said fiercely: "What do you want to do when you stand up, do you also want to challenge someone?" ”
The minister just stood for a long time and his legs were numb and moved slightly, where did he know that he was noticed by Dong Zhuo, but he was directly characterized as a manifestation of dissatisfaction with him, he wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to explain but found that in the face of Dong Zhuo's coercion, he was so frightened that he could barely speak, so he could only wave his hand again and again.
But Dong Zhuo doesn't seem to want to give him a chance to defend himself at all, he has the right to go to the palace with a sword, of course this is not who agrees, in fact, no one agrees and he does his own thing, the rules of the court are just a dead letter for Dong Zhuo, but even so, this saber is more like a symbol most of the time, and even many ministers in the court gradually choose to turn a blind eye, but they didn't expect that just today, the scabbard is open, and the blade is bloodstained.
When Li Ru noticed that Dong Zhuo drew his sword, he already knew that it was not good, and now things were not out of control, but Dong Zhuo seemed to be about to get out of control, he wanted to stop it, but it was too late, Dong Zhuo didn't move, just raised his sword hand and threw it towards the minister with a strong wave.
His martial arts are already good, this time he struck with anger, and with great power, the speed was so fast that it almost reached the minister's eyes in the blink of an eye, and pierced his throat in front of the eyes of the people in the court, extremely accurate and ruthless.
At that moment, blood splattered on the ministers who were close to him, their faces full of panic and fear, until the minister turned into a corpse and fell.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned...... (To be continued.) )
