After returning to Luoyang after a lot of hardships, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty lived in the Yang An Palace, neither soldiers and horses in hand, nor the people to produce.

Yang Andian was cleaned, but it was not as complete as the lobby of a large family, Bai Yue opened the window door to borrow light but still looked dim, Liu Xie, who was dressed in a dragon robe, wore a crown, and after the court meeting was over, he repatriated the civil and military.

Many officials were skinny and weak, and they stumbled under their feet when they walked, and those who saw them were sad.

Liu Xie, who was already sixteen years old, sat on a high seat, closed his eyes and waved away the eunuchs who served him, the hall was dark and silent, Liu Xie touched his knees with both hands, gradually clenched his fists, his bones rattled, his face showed a look of regret, and two tears welled up in his closed eyes.

Six years ago, he became the emperor as he wished, but he, the nominal son of heaven, only had endless hatred.

Thinking about the ancestors of Chu and Han competing to create the foundation of the Han Dynasty, how ancient and modern? When Emperor Wu sent Huo to get sick, he crossed the desert for thousands of miles and hit the Huns hard, sealing the wolf Juxu, how invincible? The Han Empire is prestigious, and who does not know the prestige of the Han Dynasty? Why are Chinese people called Han Chinese? Isn't it the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and the foreigners look forward to it when they hear the Han Dynasty, and yearn for it when they hear the Han people? !

opened his tearful blurred vision, Liu Xie, who was the son of the Han Dynasty, could only have a small palace that couldn't even light candles, and no one could understand the desolation and grief in his heart.

Hmph, Liu Xie suddenly let out a self-deprecating sneer.

Staring blankly at the bright spring light outside the hall, Liu Xie sighed with emotion.

Since he was a child, he was determined to prosper the Han Dynasty, and he knew that the Han Dynasty was weak, all because of the fall of the imperial power of the Son of Heaven, the dictatorship of the eunuchs of his relatives and the misuse of the country, and the formation of a party and a private business by the sergeant clan in the court, but in the end, what he can rely on now is still his relatives and scholars.

Queen Fu and Dong Guiren, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, this is a relative.

The civil and military officials who loyally followed him from Chang'an to Luoyang were the scholars.

But they have nothing, their relatives are too young for the emperor to take charge of power alone, and the scholars are influential because of political power, but what is the use of an emperor who has no territory, no soldiers and horses, and no even people, only a group of loyal courtiers?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, a thief army has entered the city!"

The panicked eunuchs rushed into the hall with their heads crawling.

"Bastard! When the sky falls, I have to be calmed down. Liu Xie got up angrily, revealing the majesty of the three-point emperor.

The eunuchs were silent, lying on the ground and trembling, and the civil and military forces who had just dispersed also returned to the hall in a panic one after another, and reported to Liu Xieyu that countless soldiers and horses had come to the city.

There are no soldiers under his command, even if Liu Xie wants to escape, he doesn't even have anyone to block the car, if there is really a thief army to kill the king, he is helpless.

Many ministers, including Dong Cheng, and Yang Biao persuaded Liu Xie to flee for his life quickly.

The young young emperor tasted all the bitterness after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and finally got rid of Li Dao and Guo Yan returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, tired and tired, and no longer wanted to go into exile.

"No, I don't run away, I want to see who comes, if God doesn't bless the Han, today is my death. I have to keep my eyes open and see clearly, who in the world dares to kill a king! ”

Liu Xie looked down at the ministers kneeling in the hall, his expression was resolute, and his heart was numb.

If the Zhongxing Han is hopeless, what is the point of living!

"Your Majesty, the people who came are Han Sui and Ma Teng from Liangzhou, and behind them is Yizhou Mu Guojia."

Another eunuch entered the palace to report, Liu Xie's face did not change, he sat down calmly, waved his big hand, and said coldly: "I am here, who dares to make a mistake!" ”

The ministers in the palace tried to persuade them to no avail, and they stood up together to show solemn faces, and lived and died with the Son of Heaven.

Guo Jia, Han Sui, and Ma Teng, who came to the outside of the palace, scrupulously abided by the courtesies of the monarch and ministers, and met with the passor, without the slightest transgression.

The trembling Huangmen official came to give the order to announce their entry into the hall, Guo Jia asked Han Sui and Ma Teng to go in front, and he took Guo Ye's hand and followed behind.

As far as soldiers and horses and official positions are concerned, Guo Jia should lead the way, but he deliberately let Ma Teng and Han Sui walk in front, and the two of them each held a box in their hands, which contained the head of Li Dao and Guo Yan, this is a credit, Guo Jia doesn't want it, give it to them.

The road leading to Yang Andian was unguarded, and Guo Jia asked Dian Wei to follow them with a tiger guard wearing dark and heavy armor all the way into the palace and served as a palace guard.

Nominally, Guo Jia is the Yizhou pastor, so Liu Xie has no reason to attack him in the palace, starting from reality, Guo Jia's army has already controlled Luoyang, and if he wants to attack Guo Jia, it is equivalent to burning jade, Guo Jia is a cheap life in the eyes of the world, and it is obviously not worth dying with him.

The huge palace is mostly the ruins and remnants, and the Yang An Palace is located in it with a bit of outstanding visual contrast, but it is still decent, if the Yang An Palace is placed in Chengdu, I am afraid it will be too unsatisfactory.

The hundreds of officials in the hall were lined up on both sides, and the Son of Heaven was firmly in the main position, all with a serious and solemn expression.

Ma Teng and Han Sui stepped into the hall first, which shocked the hearts of the hundred officials and the Son of Heaven, and many people showed fear.

It is undeniable that Ma Teng is rough and Han Sui is tough, this appearance makes literati a little stunned when they see it.

Guo Jia, who stepped into the hall closely, led his son Guo Ye, which made everyone look weird.

Few of them have seen Guo Jia, they only think that Guo Jiafeng is handsome, gentle and elegant, and the child in his hand looks a little similar to Guo Jia, delicate and super-easy, even if it is a scene like meeting the Son of Heaven, he did not show timidity, but curiously looked at the hundred officials one by one, which had to be impressive.

"Minister, Han Sui."

"Minister, Ma Teng."

"Minister, Guo Jia."

"Meet Your Majesty."

The three of them saluted together, the rules were in order, Guo Ye didn't speak, and followed Guo Jia to salute.

Liu Xie, who was sitting on the top seat, looked down at the four of them in disbelief, he had been frightened for many years, and was robbed by Li Dao and Guo Yan to ignore the humility, and suddenly heard the name of Ma Teng Han Sui, knowing that they were Liangzhou warlords, plus Guo Jia, who had known him for a long time, was also a warlord, when did such a person really have awe of him? At least now, the actions of the three of them have eliminated the hostility in Liu Xie's heart.

"The three Aiqing came to see them, why did they come to see them?"

Before figuring out the intention, Liu Xie still had to be cautious.

In fact, he is doing this too much, he is cautious or not, and he is completely unable to control his fate, not to mention that Ma Teng and Han Sui add up to a thousand soldiers and horses, if it is really unfavorable to him, he will also have seven points of certainty to kill the king. What's more, Guo Jia's Taiping army has surrounded the entire palace inside and out.

Guo Jia lowered his head slightly, did not speak, he gave the protagonist to Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately presented the box in their hands, and Ma Teng said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the minister, General Han, and Guo Yuanjun together exterminated the traitor Li Dao Guo Yan, and inside the box, it was the head of the two thieves. ”

"What?!"

Liu Xie was already furious when he heard the names of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and his face changed drastically after hearing the news of their deaths, and he was extremely shocked.

There was an uproar.

The hundreds of officials in the palace were also shocked by this news.

The skull in the box had long been rancid, but Liu Xie still ordered someone to present it in front of him and open it for inspection.

The stench came out, Liu Xie was unconscious, and a little hideous color appeared on Sven's white face, staring at the two heads tightly, his chest rising and falling.

"Hang the heads of the two outside the palace gate to show the public! Li Dao Guo Yan is innocent of death! I'm going to raze them to the three tribes! ”

Liu Xie sat down very relieved, his face ecstatic.

The ministers unanimously agreed with Liu Xie's edict.

Li Dao Guo Yan, not razing the three clans, is not enough to calm the grievances!

"Your Majesty, in this matter, Guo Yuanjun led the army to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan a few days ago, and after capturing Chang'an, he has already done it, and the three clans of Li Dao and Guo Yan have been executed."

Guo Jia kept his head down and remained silent, there was no sign of inviting credit, Han Sui was just waiting for the reward, no matter what else, Ma Teng saw that Guo Jia did not take the initiative to come out, thinking that Guo Jia was humble and did not take credit, and it was possible that he was worried that he would cut first and then play, and Yu Li was not in agreement, so Ma Teng helped Guo Jia tell the matter, and the starting point was to help Guo Jia ask for credit.

There was some noise in the hall, the ministers whispered, and the expressions on the faces of many people fell into Guo Jia's eyes, and he really understood what it was to get revenge, and the great happiness after the shame.

Liu Xie had mixed feelings in his heart, squinted his eyes and looked down at Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Guo Jia, as for Guo Ye, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

gave Dong Cheng, who was in the forefront, a look, but Liu Xie forgot to reward Han Sui and Ma Teng, in fact, he had nothing to reward except for giving them some fictitious official positions.

Dong Cheng comprehended Liu Xie's instructions, and asked Han Sui and Ma Teng with a faint smile: "The two generals have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and their loyalty can be expressed in the moon." I wonder how many soldiers and horses the two generals brought here? ”

Han Sui and Ma Teng couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and the hall suddenly fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for Han Sui and Ma Teng's answer.

"Five hundred followers."

The answer for both men was the same.

There was a faint sigh in the hall.

Dong Cheng didn't give up, and continued to ask: "How many soldiers and horses do those two generals still have in Liangzhou?" ”

Speaking of this, Han Sui and Ma Teng were a little sad and unhappy.

Han Sui said angrily: "Ten thousand." ”

That's a bit exaggerated, but it's not far off.

Ma Teng was very practical and replied truthfully: "Six thousand." ”

The sighs in the lower hall were even heavier.

The two of them together don't even have an army of 20,000, and their ability to contribute to the Han family is extremely limited.

Han Sui and Ma Teng understood Dong Cheng's intention to ask questions at this time, meaning that the Son of Heaven could not count on them.

Ma Teng knew that his strength was shallow, even if he went out of Liangzhou, he had tens of thousands of troops, and it was a mantis arm to help the Han family to confront the Kwantung princes, and he arched his hand to Liu Xie, who had a calm face and could not see his anger: "Your Majesty, Guo Yuanjun sent troops from Yizhou thousands of miles to exterminate Li Dao Guo Yan, and his loyalty is commendable, he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at the moment, I implore Your Majesty to know that Guo Yuanjun will be Your Majesty's auxiliary minister!" ”

The hall was silent, and everyone's expressions seemed to be frightened.

If you want to tell the truth, Guo Jia has nearly 200,000 soldiers, I don't know what kind of expression they will have.
