453, something to start
The splendid and magnificent hall, hundreds of officials stand, but there is no sense of crowding, the civil and military clearly distinguish the columns, the sound of bells and drums gradually stops, and everyone is patiently waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.
As a courtier, it is normal to wait for the emperor, that is, Yuan Shang, and he did not overstep the courtesy in this matter, in front of the hundred officials, his body was tall, standing proudly, a pair of deep eyes were slightly squinted, his eyes were not focused, and the hundred officials behind him stared at the back of his head, no one knew what he was thinking.
Yuan Shang's thoughts wandered out of the world, and behind him, Yang Biaoshi, Sun Rui, Huang Wan and other old ministers of the Han family also looked like wood carvings, without other superfluous emotions, quietly waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.
The court is a solemn place, that is, Yuan Shang has no Han family in his heart, but he still retains enough respect, what he admires is not Liu Xie, but a few heroic emperors who once sat firmly on the dragon chair, and obviously whether it is Liu Xie, the emperors of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty since Liu Xiu, can really make Yuan Shang have such respect, there is probably no more.
Liu Xie's figure was surrounded by a group of eunuchs, and the young face, without a trace of expression, was numb and pale, and looked a little depressed.
He is already in his twenties, in this era, the child is already relatively precocious, born in the royal Liu Xie, is much more complicated than the ordinary children of the family, a few years under the control of Dong Zhuo, once again fell into the hands of the powerful minister Yuan Shang, this young man, has struggled, has accepted fate, and has been lucky, for ten consecutive years, life and death are not in the hands of the hand, if it is an ordinary person, it is not a broken jar, and he has already found a rope to solve himself.
And Liu Xie. Still persevering until now. What kind of belief does it depend on? Not only does Liu Xie know it himself, but Yuan Shang is also like a mirror in his heart, a Han emperor who is unwilling to become a puppet of others still needs time to polish his temper and ambition, which naturally does not need Yuan Shang to think about it, in history, Cao Cao has set an example for him.
In order to shut up the mouth of the world. Yuan Shang can't kill Liu Xie, but it doesn't prevent him from gradually deepening his control over Liu Xie, and the Huangmen squires who were exiled or killed one by one are bloody examples, when it comes to Yuan Shang's status today, every move will not be without a trace of meaning, and the meaning contained in it, under the interpretation of people with a heart, naturally has its own reason, and he has killed so many Huangmen squires in five years. There are not many people who dare to carry Yuan Shang and Liu Xiemei behind their backs, and Yang Biaoshi, Sun Rui, Huang Wan, Dong Cheng, these old ministers of the Han family. is under Yuan Shang's monitoring all the time, and it is even more difficult to get close to Liu Xie, under Yuan Shang's deliberate creation, Liu Xie's life over the years has also not been easy, it can be said that it is difficult to support alone, that is, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only reluctantly accept Yuan Shang's mercy.
In the face of this situation, how can Liu Xie's face look good, every morning court, for him, is tantamount to torment, especially, when he, the emperor who is the supreme leader, often does not even have the right to speak as an ordinary official, Liu Xie's grievances in his heart, who can know the way.
As the emperor, to do him so aggrieved, Liu Xie calculated, he was really the only one, in his early twenties, which should have been the most pioneering moment, but what Liu Xie could do was just to try to save his own life, praying that one day he would not fall asleep and never wake up again.
For this kind of audit-like court discussion, Liu Xie has no interest at all, and is even extremely disgusted, if it weren't for the fear of annoying Yuan Shang, he wouldn't even bother to come to the early dynasty, and it would be better to act as a puppet on this occasion, it would be better to make more people in bed, and work hard for the Han family to extend the country, which is better than meaningless auditing.
His face, with obvious disgust and gloomy color, did not hide it at all, as soon as Liu Xie entered the hall, the first thing he saw was Yuan Shang, the head of the hundred officials, the tall and jealous minister.
There is no doubt that Yuan Shang's appearance is indeed very dazzling, that is, as a man, Liu Xie, sometimes has to sigh, but this kind of sigh, after Yuan Shang began to set him up as a puppet, it was transformed into gritted teeth and hatred, in order to survive Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie has trembled for three or five years, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, for Yuan Shang, who was more soft, Liu Xie's heart was resentful, but also had a deep fear, this man who was only seven years older than him, his wrist was weird, and people could not let go of it. Over the years, the cronies he has cultivated with great difficulty have not even reflected the slightest value, but they have died in Huangquan, all thanks to Yuan Shang's hands, for Yuan Shang's tepid attitude, Liu Xie can only helplessly give in again and again, and even Yuan Xi Yuan bought into the palace can not refuse.
Now, the four brothers of the Yuan family, except for Yuan Tan, who is not in harmony with Yuan Shang, has begun to gnaw on the big cake of the Han family, and everyone can see that Yuan Xi and Yuan bought the palace, what is the signal emitted, Liu Han's qi is about to run out, and those so-called people of insight in the world naturally smell a trace of strange smell, so some people are happy and some are worried, a pair of eyes, all staring at Chang'an, staring at Yuan Shang, and similarly, they are also waiting for Liu Xie to have other reactions.
Obviously, Liu Xie can't change anything at all, especially after Yuan Xi and Yuan bought the palace, the entire palace, except for a few palace maids and old minks who are so old that they lose their teeth, the rest of the people are basically Yuan Shang's people, with the current situation of Liu Xie's alone, how can he change anything.
When Liu Xie entered the hall, Yuan Shang noticed it as soon as he entered the hall, and his slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, looking at Liu Xie, who was pale and disgusted, his face was indifferent, and his mood did not change.
After Liu Xie finished sitting, Yuan Shang stepped forward, and all the officials behind him turned pale, and under the leadership of Yuan Shang, they began to shout long live.
After Liu Xie mechanically shouted, 'All the ministers are exempt', a group of officials with different expressions, except for Yuan Shang, stood up.
Yuan Shang's tall body stands out among the hundred officials, so many people are qualified to wear a sword to the palace, and he is the only one who is qualified not to kneel on the ground.
Even if Liu Xie is dissatisfied, he has gradually become accustomed to Yuan Shang's domineering, for him, if the minister is not domineering, he will not be called a minister, especially Yuan Shang, in Liu Xie's opinion, is even more domineering.
It's just that this kind of careful thinking is hidden in his heart, of course Liu Xie will not stupidly run to Yuan Shang and say that you are not right, unless he wants to become the emperor who will be abolished again after Liu Wei, there are many members of the royal family, Yuan Shang can choose another obedient point among a group of clan disciples, this Liu Xie is also very clear, otherwise he would not be able to live until now.
Liu Xie's eyes swept down the ministers standing in His Royal Highness, and looked at the group of white-haired ministers behind Yuan Shang, and felt a little comforted in his heart, at least, he was not really alone, with this group of old ministers loyal to the Han family, some of Yuan Shang's actions had a contrarian voice, which was what Liu Xie was most happy to see.
"The Qing family has something to do, and there is nothing to retreat from,"
The standard routine day after day, at the moment Yuan Shang basically set him up, whether it is the three princes and the divisions, or the local institutions in Gyeonggi, the orders are all in and out of the General's Mansion, and there is not much discussion in the court meeting, it is basically a formality, if there is really something, it is mostly a blind report where there is an auspicious omen, where there are trivial things that have happened, and the actual meaning of the court is not common, so Liu Xie just wants to retire from the court as soon as possible, and talk about life and ideals with those concubines, Instead of looking at Yuan Shang's face and adding to the blockage in his heart.
The middle-aged eunuch is the eyeliner assigned by Yuan Shang to Liu Xie, and his function, in addition to arranging Liu Xie's trivial affairs, is also to monitor Liu Xie's every move.
Seeing that Liu Xie looked spiritless, the eunuch surnamed Guo sneered, as the vicious dog that Yuan Shang planted beside Liu Xie, he wished that Liu Xie would be more depressed, and that he would successfully complete the transition in the future, and not provoke him again.
Habitually silent, the situation of the entire court discussion is naturally not natural, the eunuch surnamed Guo was ready to send Liu Xie back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he didn't expect that a sunny voice interrupted his pace.
"Your Majesty is a little slower, and Weichen has something to do."
The eunuch surnamed Guo can filter out anyone's voice, but he doesn't dare to ignore this voice.
The eyes of everyone in the hall flashed with a trace of essence, especially Yang Biao, Huang Wanshi, Sun Rui, Dong Chengfu and other old ministers, all looked at Yuan Shang, and their eyes were full of flickering colors. (To be continued......)
