Chapter 469: Audience with Your Majesty

The civil and military officials above the hall all looked sideways, although Liu Ze was said to have made a contribution to the recapture of the jade seal by Yuan Shu, but Emperor Han Xian directly gave Liu Ze the honor of entering the court and not tending to go to the palace with a sword was somewhat unexpected by the officials, and the eyes of all the officials were on Cao Cao, who was the only one who could have the same treatment in the hall at this moment. Most of the officials are Cao Cao's confidants, and when the court is discussed, Cao Cao is the only one, although most of the officials have a lot of complaints about this, but Cao Cao did not express his position, and they naturally did not dare to say anything.

Cao Cao ignored the gaze of the hundred officials, closed his eyes slightly, and sat upright like an old monk.

Liu Ze walked to the front of the car, and Shi Li said: "Minister Xuzhou Mu Zhendong General Liu Ze see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”

Although the nineteen-year-old boy Son of Heaven has suffered a lot, he has never succumbed to his fate, although he thinks that he is not as good as Emperor Gaozu who opened the foundation and started a business, and he is not as talented as Emperor Xiaowu, but he has always regarded Emperor Guangwu of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty as his model, hoping that one day he can get rid of the traitors and return the Liu dynasty to a bright future. But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, since he was established as the emperor by Dong Zhuo, there has hardly been a good day, first Dong Zhuo's disaster, and then Li Guo's rebellion, upside down, miserable. Later, he got Cao Cao, thinking that he was a minister of the society, but he was no different from Dong Zhuo, dictatorship of power, good at prestige, and strict usurpation and self-reliance.

Emperor Xian was smart since childhood, and after ascending the throne, he suffered from chaos, although he had not yet reached the age of the crown. The mind is much more mature than ordinary teenagers, Cao Cao's rebellion he can't hear, but because Cao Cao is in power, he is like a puppet, and he is powerless to compete with Cao Cao.

But I don't know if Liu Ze didn't understand what he meant, or because Liu Ze was afraid of Cao Cao's power, this time Liu Ze escorted Yuxi to Beijing, and only brought 500 cavalry. I want to deal with Cao Cao. These 500 horsemen are obviously far from enough. This made Emperor Liu Xie, who originally had high hopes for Liu Ze, unable to help but be disappointed. However, Emperor Xian still did not give up his idea, and when Liu Ze went to the palace, he specially ordered the Huangmen squire to go to the palace to preach the message, giving Liu Ze the right to enter the court and not to go to the palace with a sword.

Waiting for Liu Ze to salute as he approached. Only then did Emperor Xian see Liu Ze's appearance clearly. I can't help but be shocked. Because he recognized Liu Ze as the person who rescued the driver in Beibi Mountain back then. At that time, Emperor Xian was not the emperor, and it was his elder brother Liu Wei who was the emperor, and he was only King Chen Liu. He was kidnapped by Zhang Rang and left the palace in Luoyang, and escaped in the northern mountains, but fortunately, a leader of the forbidden army rescued him in time, and the young emperor and he were not harmed by Zhang Rang. Emperor Xian has always been grateful in his arms, never forgotten, but very soon there was Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, the world was in chaos, Emperor Xian wanted to find this life-saving benefactor is like a needle in the sea, but the appearance of this benefactor, although Emperor Xian was young at the time, but he has always kept it in mind, and has never forgotten, I didn't think that the person who had the grace to save the car turned out to be Xuzhou Mu Liu Ze, which made Emperor Xian can't help but be overjoyed.

"Liu Aiqing's flat body-"

Liu Ze said respectfully: "Thank you!" He stepped back to the side and stood with his hands down.

Emperor Xian couldn't hide the surging tide of his heart, and said: "I can't imagine that Liu Aiqing is the person who rescued the driver in Beibi Mountain in the past, I have been looking hard for many years and have never been able to do it, but I didn't expect to see the true face today, it was Liu Aiqing who saved the driver, I should thank him." ”

Hundreds of officials are stunned, the officials of the Beibi Mountain mentioned by the emperor are very clear, Zhang Rang killed He Jin, hijacked the young emperor and the emperor who was still the king of Chen Liu, and fled to the Beibi Mountain, is not there a nursery rhyme that "the emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and thousands of horses ride away from the north", which is the situation at that time. However, the matter of saving the car that Emperor Xian said made the ministers confused, knowing that Liu Ze was fine, he naturally knew that Liu Ze was still a county magistrate in Qingzhou Pingyuan County at that time, how could he go to the suburbs of Luoyang to rescue the driver, it was really unbelievable.

Liu Ze was also a little embarrassed in his heart, he came to Luoyang that day not to save the driver, but to Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong's ten permanent servants to fight the autumn wind, as for saving the Son of Heaven's car, it was Liu Ze who happened to bump into it, which was also an unintentional move, and Liu Ze had long forgotten everything afterwards, but he didn't expect that the emperor would never forget it in the past ten years.

"The things of the day, Your Majesty Xià Hongfu Qitian, has its own destiny to protect it, and the minister is just an occasional encounter, just a gesture." Liu Ze said lightly, without the slightest sense of arrogance, holding the jade box in both hands, holding it high and saying: "The minister is ordered to rebel, live up to the emperor's order, and have killed the rebel Chen puppet emperor Yuan Shu, the head has been dedicated to Xu Du earlier, and today the jade seal of the country is presented, please check it." ”

The Huangmen squire took the jade box, carefully held it, and presented it on the dragon case in front of Emperor Xian. After the jade box was opened, a jade seal was presented in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, although most of the officials had this psychological preparation, but at first glance when they saw the jade seal still in the court, they were still very shrugged, and many old ministers such as Yang Biao were in tears, crying silently.

Emperor Xian was also greatly moved, when the jade seal of the country was lost, it was the day of the Luoyang Palace Change, Zhang Rang killed He Jin, hijacked the young emperor and Chen Liuwang to escape from the palace, Yuan Shao and others led troops to kill the palace, wantonly killed the eunuchs, and there was chaos inside and outside the palace. After the chaos subsided, the palace was checked, and the jade seal of the country was nowhere to be found. Later, Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor and set up the emperor, and after Liu Xie ascended the throne, he became the son of tabula rasa who did not have the jade seal of the country, so the emperor had never seen the jade seal of the country at all. Later, Dong Zhuo burned the palace and fled Luoyang, and it is said that the jade seal was obtained by Sun Jian, so Sun Jian and Yuan Shao turned against each other. Later, Yuan Shu got the jade seal of the country, thought that he was destined to return, and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. Today, Liu Ze is still in the capital, how not to excite Emperor Xian.

"Liu Aiqing killed the treacherous and rebelled, and returned it to the capital, which is a great achievement. I heard that Liu Aiqing was also a member of the clan, but I don't know who Gaozu is? ”

Liu Ze said: "After the minister is King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the ancestor was knighted as the Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion, and he has lived in Zhuo County for more than 300 years. ”

Emperor Xian ordered Zong Zhengqing to take the genealogy of the clan to check. Although since Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion, this branch has been lost and declined, but as a clan, it has been recorded, and after checking it from generation to generation, Liu Ze and Emperor Xian are actually the uncles of the emperor. The flower emperor dragon was very happy, and said: "According to the clan arrangement, Liu Aiqing is my uncle, and in the clan, there is Liu Aiqing to solve problems for me and eliminate the national disaster, and I am very relieved." ”

Liu Ze didn't care about the identity of the emperor's uncle or not, although he said that he was indeed a relative of the Han family, but after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he had long been estranged from the bloodline of today's son, and his family was in the middle of the road, and he was no different from the common people. Emperor Gaozu spread out the branches, and the surname Liu is probably everywhere now, thinking about the fact that the ancestor of his own big breed, King Zhongshan Jing, gave birth to one hundred and twenty sons, and these sons and grandchildren have multiplied, and the uncles and uncles of the emperor are probably so many that they can be carried. What's more, after the Wang Mang Rebellion in the late Western Han Dynasty, the Dong Zhuo and Li Guo Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the Emperor Xian who fled from Guanzhong Chang'an back to the old capital Luoyang, and slept all the way, even eating and eating a full belly became a problem. Taking a step back and saying that these royal archives are still preserved and in order, Liu Ze is really a generation higher than Emperor Xian? What a coincidence, isn't it?

When Liu Ze read the Three Kingdoms in later generations, he already knew that the origin of Liu Bei's family was made up by Luo Guanzhong, and the ancestor was King Jing of Zhongshan, but since Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion, lost his marquis because of the gold, their branch has since fallen on the side of the middle road, not to mention the prince, not even a fame, mixed among the common people, grandfather Liu Xiong was born as Fan Ling of Dongjun, so it can be regarded as a bit of a Zhongxing appearance, so this Hou passed on that Hou, it is pure nonsense. And Lao Luo patronized to prove that Liu Bei is the orthodox identity of the Han family, and the number of generations is counted when arranging generations, Liu Bei is the nineteenth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the fourteenth grandson of Liu Bang.

Today, Liu Ze saw that the genealogy taken out by Emperor Xian was more or less strange, if it was not a coincidence, it was the intentional arrangement of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It's normal for Liu Ze to think about it, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is now being held hostage by Cao Cao and eager to stand on his own, and there are few people who can rely on Liao Liao, but it is just a few ministers such as Dong Cheng, Chongyi, Wu Lan, etc., who can't afford to make waves, and Liu Ze is in the position of Xuzhou Mu, holding heavy troops, and is the person who Emperor Xian is eager to rely on, since Liu Ze is the identity of the Han family's relatives, Emperor Xian doesn't care who is several generations higher than whom, and Liu Ze is the emperor's uncle, just can be relied on as a confidant, and deal with Cao Cao in the future, it is an important magic code.

Now that the name has been decided, this is not something that Liu Ze can shirk, although all the civil and military ministers have doubts, but no one dares to question the authenticity, Liu Ze saluted and said: "After the minister is a clan, it is within his duty to solve problems for His Majesty. ”

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and went out to play: "Liu Zhijun has made outstanding achievements in eliminating treachery and eradicating rebellion, and the minister asks His Majesty to reward him generously to settle his merits." ”

Emperor Xian said: "What Cao Sikong said is extremely true, the emperor's uncle's merit is in the community, and he should be rewarded, but I don't know what kind of reward should be given to match the emperor's uncle's merit." ”

Cao Cao said: "Now the Yangzhou occupied by Chen Yuanshu was broken by Liu Yuanjun, and the six counties of Yangzhou were all restored to the territory of my Han Dynasty. (To be continued......)
