In the Han Dynasty, since Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che, he has implemented the policy strategy of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone".

The so-called Confucianism, the most essential central idea, is "etiquette", "benevolence and righteousness", "loyalty and forgiveness" and "outline". In Confucianism, the monarch is required to "rule by virtue" and "benevolent government", while on the contrary, the courtiers are required to abide by the "monarch and ministers" and "ethics".

Something like forcing the palace is definitely rebellious in this era, and people and gods are angry! Whoever does the skin is the skin!

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi, in terms of birth and family background, are among the best in this era, and the truth that the monarch is a minister has long been ingrained in their hearts, even if they are ambitious and ambitious at the moment, but they are all hidden in the bottom of their hearts, not to leak out, and they will not buckle a traitorous hat on their heads, this hat is too big, enough for them to be drowned by the spit of the Son of Heaven, so they would rather be cuckolded than be crowned by the crown of rebellion on their heads.

They know that they are indeed traitors, but they will not admit it stupidly, but will desperately put gold on their faces, striving to show themselves as first-class loyal ministers.

Compared with Liu Bei and Cao Zhi, Yuan Shang is very open to this point.

Yuan Shang is a little vague in the concept of right and wrong of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, this is because of the influence of the education he received in his previous life, he will not be stupid to let others say that he is a loyal minister, and worry about trying to cover up for himself, such a person is too tired to live.

When others say that he is a loyal minister, he will accept it with a smile, and when others say that he is a traitor, he can also shrug his shoulders and sweep it away at will. Living in this world, it doesn't matter if outsiders evaluate whether he is loyal or traitorous, saying that he is a loyal minister, Yuan Shang himself does not live for one more year, saying that he is a traitor, and Yuan Shang himself will live a year old.

He is strong, he is strong, the breeze caresses the hills, he is horizontal by him, and the bright moon shines on the river.

But obviously. Such a strong mental cultivation, Liu Bei and Cao Zhi can't do it for the time being, as heroes, they can compete with Yuan Shang Xiangting, but in terms of the open-minded view of secular flaunting, they are obviously not on the same level as Yuan Shang, who has received modern education since childhood.

After being silent for a while, I heard Cao Zhi ask Yuan Shangdao weakly: "May I ask Brother Yuan, how do you plan to escort King Qin when you go to Luoyang this time?" ”

Yuan Shang snorted and said with a smile: "It's very simple. The three of us each led 30,000 people to Luoyang, with the east, south and north triangles, surrounded Luoyang City, and then set up a royal village outside the city, and invited the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to meet me. Canonized Xuande Gong as a hussar general, Cao Gong is already the prime minister, a very popular minister, just add a marquis of ten thousand households to add the icing on the cake. In addition, I would like to mention the recital that is conducive to our respective developments, and tell Your Majesty that the imperial court will allow the three of us to station troops in Zhongmu and Hejian respectively in the future. Wancheng sends envoys to Beijing once every three months to perform state affairs. During the period, the twists and turns are accurate, and they are accurate, and they are not allowed. ”

Liu Bei was suddenly dizzy when he heard this, and said, "You, you are still forcing the palace!" ”

Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders: "I said from the beginning that it was to force the palace, but if you said that you wanted King Qin, I had no choice, so I had to follow what you said......"

Liu Bei: "............"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Two, now that you want to pretend to be a good person, it is impossible!" Your Majesty is self-reliant in Luoyang, and you must know better than me about the powerful relationship between you, and we must not let it go! Luoyang is located in the three of you and me, the three of us are not in unison, and the three of us are like a trapped dragon entering the sea, and the tiger is returning to the mountain...... If you don't do this vote, you will regret your intestines in the future and there will be no regret medicine. ”

When Liu Bei and Cao Zhi heard this, they both smoked their dough and did not speak. I wanted to praise him twice, but I couldn't open my mouth, I wanted to slap him twice, and I was afraid that Yuan Shang wouldn't do it.

Yuan Shang saw the cowardice of the two, and he was very angry in his heart.

Sighing helplessly, Yuan Shang said: "Then let's do it, as long as you two support me, this time I will go to Luoyang, and all the things about forcing the palace will be on me, you don't need the two of you to come forward, you are still loyal ministers, so it's okay, right?" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and their hearts were overjoyed, but after pondering carefully, they immediately changed their faces and corrected themselves.

"Let's make it clear, it's not forcing the palace, it's King Qin!"

“…………”

***********************

After the meeting was decided, Yuan Shang, Cao Zhi, and Liu Bei each led 30,000 elite soldiers, a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses, and marched towards Luoyang from the Wanluo Sanguan crossing.

And at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven and Xu Shu have already marched into Luoyang and grasped the overall situation.

After the mysterious guards repelled the allied forces of Yuan and Cao, Xu Shu turned his troops to Luoyang, admonished the Son of Heaven, and opened the gate of Luoyang with the order in Xun Yu's hand.

As soon as he entered Luoyang City, Xu Shu and after the ambush, Geng Ji immediately commanded his subordinates to control all the important mansions in Luoyang, and controlled the troops and horses stationed in Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Shu also sent people to invite those who wanted to recruit the Son of Heaven from the beginning.

The others are located far away and are not easy to appease, but Lu Yu, the son of Lu Zhishi, Huangfu Li, the son of Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Hao, the son of Zhu Jun, and Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, can come soon.

Liu Xie reorganized his troops and horses, promoted the loyal ministers who accompanied him, and finished the general overview of government affairs, Lu Yu and Yang Xiuzhi, Xu Shu oversaw military affairs, and Huangfu Li, Huangfu Jianshou, and Zhu Hao assisted, and began to arrange the team.

After Xu Shu accepted the instructions of the Son of Heaven, the first important thing he did was to meet the guard who helped him to deter Yuan Cao's enemy army.

No, after the guard arrived in Luoyang City, he just stayed for one night, then packed up his things and left the city, without even saying hello.

Xu Shu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and after asking about the situation, he immediately drove his horse to chase after him.

Coming out of the north gate of Luoyang, after chasing for more than 20 miles, and finally saw the figure of the guard, Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "The general in front, please stay!" ”

When the guard heard a voice, he gently pulled the reins, turned his head with a lonely face, looked Xu Shu up and down a few times, and said, "Something?" ”

Xu Shu rode his horse to the guard and said with a smile: "Where is the general?" Why didn't you even say hello and left? Even Xie Lu Xie didn't let Shu say a word? ”

The guard sniffled lightly and said, "I'm tired of staying in this place, and I want to change it." ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Said: "The world is under your command...... Can you still get tired of it? ”

The guard said indifferently: "Under Liu Yao, under Cao Cao, under Zhang Xiu, under Lu Bu, I have all stayed, and there is no place for long." Why do you have to send the Son of Heaven alone? ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he lowered his head and thought quietly for a while, and said, "Dare to ask the general's surname?" ”

The guard pondered for a moment, but replied lightly, "My name is Tong Fei." ”

"Oh......" Xu Shu thought about it carefully, and there was no information about Tong Fei in his mind. Then he said: "General Tong, today, traitors are everywhere, the Han family is declining, traitors steal their lives, fortunately, His Majesty is still in Luoyang, I am hopeful for Zhongxing, how can I wither talents, and there is no one left and right under Your Majesty." General Shu Jinguan has high skills and the courage of ten thousand people, but he is actually a handsome general, and he told the Son of Heaven. His Majesty loved him very much, and wanted to be hired as a minister of the humerus, and asked the general not to shirk and return to the dynasty with Xu Shu. Let's protect the Son of Heaven together, support the Han family, and sweep away the heroes. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be named for eternity? ”

Tong Fei frowned and said, "To be honest, I'm not interested in joining the battle of the princes, I'm only interested in the heroes of the world, that's all." ”

Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Heroes of the world? That's better, listen to me! ”

“…………”

*******************************

Just when Xu Shu went to look for Tong Fei, the Son of Heaven received information in Luoyang that Yuan, Cao, and Liu jointly led troops to Luoyang.

After learning the news from Fu Wan's mouth, Liu Xie was a little stupid.

"Yuan Shang, Cao Zhi, and Liu Bei came to Luoyang together? Guozhang, you're not lying to me, are you? ”

After Fu Fu's face turned pale, he trembled and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the words of the old minister are true, Yuan Shang, Cao Zhi and Liu Bei are indeed leading the troops, Yuan Shang led the troops to display the north of Luoyang, Liu Bei is in the south of Luoyang, Cao Zhi is in the east of Luoyang, the three parties each rely on their horns to go down to the village, and the edge is close to Luoyang!" ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he was furious, and slapped the table and roared: "These rebellious thieves are too disobedient...... Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi are okay, why did Liu Bei get involved with them? What are they? Is it forced to the palace...... What do they want? If you want to make me, can't you do it? ”

After Fu Fu's face was bitter, he sighed and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to eliminate the anger of the thunder, Yuan, Cao and Liu are here, its momentum is very great, we have just come to Luoyang, our heels are unstable, and we can't fight against them at all, and please Majesty Lu handle this matter carefully, so as not to cause a huge disaster!" ”

Liu Xie's face twitched, and he took a deep breath and asked, "How many soldiers and horses do they have?" ”

After Fu Wan, he sighed and said: "Battalion and battalion, village and village, the flag covers the sky and the sun, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties add up...... Alas, I can't see it clearly. ”

Liu Xie's expression suddenly changed.

"What can I do like this? My pro-army plus the soldiers reorganized in Luoyang, at most more than 5,000 people, and they are all soldiers who have not been in battle for a long time, how can they compete with the tiger and wolf disciples of the traitors, how should this be good, how is it good...... Xu Shu~! What about Xu Shu? Where is it now? ”

Fu Wan said helplessly: "General Right went out of the city, saying that he was going to chase an important person, and he was not in Luoyang at the moment......"

"What? At such a critical moment, Xu Shu is not in Luoyang? This...... What to do? ”

After Fu Fu's face was bitter, he shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

It was at this time that Shaofu Geng Ji hurriedly ran into the main hall, bowed to Liu Xieshen, and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shang sent a messenger to submit a letter to Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Shang's letter...... Where are the letters? ”

Geng Ji hurriedly said: "It's in the hands of the minister." ”

Liu Xie pointed at Geng Ji: "Read!" ”

Geng Ji wiped the sweat from his head, hurriedly unfolded the letter in his hand, cleared his throat, and read aloud:

"Recently, I heard that His Majesty obeyed the order, returned to the old capital, and pointed to the west, all parties tied their hands, and the people of the division were subordinate, and the wind was returned. Dazhen Han family Tianwei, the minister is very happy for His Majesty, and he looks to the south to worship! The minister Simu has been under His Majesty for a long time, and he does not dare to forget to repay the country's kindness, and now he is a social plan, and he specially unites the princes of the Quartet, leading 100 million soldiers, and 100,000 generals to come to Luoyang ............"

"Stop!"

Liu Xie suddenly spoke, blocking Geng Ji's words: "Yuan Shang...... How many soldiers did he bring? ”

Geng Ji looked down and looked at it carefully, confirming that he had indeed read it correctly.

"100 million ......"

Liu Xie took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Shangpifu, it doesn't count if you are entangled with Cao Zhi and Liu Bei forcing the palace." Fooling me for a fool...... And bring 100 million soldiers? I don't have so many soldiers in the eight lifetimes of the Han Dynasty combined, is he going to blow the sky apart? ”

Fu Wan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't compare this little truth, no matter if Yuan Shang leads 100 million people or a billion people, anyway, he has more soldiers than us, let's listen to what he wants to do." ”

Liu Xie took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Draw 100 million people on this paragraph...... Keep reading! ”

Geng Ji swallowed and spat, and continued: "...... Today's ministers want to hunt in the suburbs of Luoyang with His Majesty, drink and talk, and sit and watch the world. Hold the government together to show loyalty. Don't wait and see, give a quick response......"

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Xie's face was distorted, he got up and kicked the table open, and said angrily: "Yuan Shang's thief is too bold, who does he think of himself?" Yes? On an equal footing with me? I also want to hunt in Luoyang with me and hold the government together! This—this is simply a big rebellion...... Who is he hunting? Hunting...... It's so presumptuous, it's even more hateful than Cao Cao! More arrogant than Dong Zhuo! ”

After hearing this, Fu said: "But Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point." If we don't meet him, once they attack the city, we won't be able to defend against it, so it's better to ......."

Liu Xie turned his head to look at him. "What might it be?" he asked. ”

"It's better to respond to Yuan Shang's invitation and go out of the city to meet him, and there is no chance to turn around......"

Liu Xie's eyes closed and pondered carefully for a long time. After a while, Fang Cai slowly asked, "Abbot, ......?"

"The minister is here!"

"Are you a spy sent by Yuan Shang?"

After hearing this, he was shocked.

"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"

Liu Xie opened his eyes suddenly. The eyes sparkled.

"I finally got out of Cao Zhi's control, but you let me go out of the city to meet Yuan Shang, didn't you send me into the tiger's mouth? What is your heart? What benefits did Yuan Shang give you!"

After hearing the words, the sweat on his forehead was like rain, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! Everything the minister said was for the sake of His Majesty! Your Majesty will not go out, Yuan Shang and the others will have a reason to enter Luoyang, there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in our city, and they can't resist it no matter what! On the contrary, if His Majesty went out to see them, although it seemed dangerous, but Yuan, Cao, and Liu were all there, if they had evil intentions and wanted to hijack them, where would they rob His Majesty? Xu Du? Yecheng? Xiangyang? Whoever goes, the other two won't want to! Your Majesty, one person will deal with the difficulty, and three people will deal with it! ”

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this, nodded and muttered: "There is some truth in this......

After lying and crying, he said: "Your Majesty, although this trip is dangerous, but it is to die and live, after your Majesty goes out of the city, you can adapt to the situation, see what the three of you have to say and then make a conclusion, so you can't say that you can still keep your own safety, if you are cowering in the lonely city, there is no way to survive!" ”

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and thought carefully for a long time before turning his head to look at Geng Ji and said, "Yuan Shang's envoy didn't say anything, when did he invite me to hunt?" ”

Geng Ji glanced at Liu Xie cautiously and said: "Yuan Shang's envoy said, if Your Majesty agrees, you will now invite out of the east gate of Luoyang, Yuan, Cao, and Liu have already set up camp at the east gate, arranged a banquet, and waited for Your Majesty to come." ”

Liu Xie bit his lip, thought carefully for a long time, and finally waved his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll block this time, change clothes, and you will meet these three guys when I go out of the city!" See what exactly these three want to do! ”

******************************

Outside the east gate of Luoyang, the three giants of Yuan Shang, Cao Zhi, and Liu Bei are all waiting here at this moment, and they are all protected by elite armor warriors.

Yuan Shang was followed by the Euphorbia Battalion, behind Cao Zhi was the Tiger Guard, and behind Liu Bei was the White Ear Army, and the three soldiers and horses were displayed in turn, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

When I was young, I saw the suspension bridge at the east gate of Luoyang City slowly falling, and the dust in the city was raised, but I saw the Son of Heaven slowly coming out.

In front is six horses to open the road, to the back is the two horse-drawn carriages of eight doctors in the court, and there are people in the left column holding the Qinglong Flag, the Wuyue Flag, the Wufang Dragon Flag, the Red Gate Divine Flag, the Vermilion Bird Flag, and the six-pole soap. On the right is the White Tiger Flag, the Five Star Flag, the Five Phoenix Flag, the Red Gate Divine Flag, the True Martial Flag, the middle of the team is Liu Xie's royal dragon team, and the protection of the Son of Heaven is the six-horse carriage, the god is majestic, quite the Han family Tianwei.

Seeing the Son of Heaven coming, Cao Zhi's eyes showed an inexplicable look of sadness, while Liu Bei was flushed, looking down at his feet, and was silent.

Only Yuan Shang looked up at the Son of Heaven on the last car, and he was quite touched by emotion in his heart.

When he was young, the car drove in front of everyone, Yuan Shang had not moved, but he saw that everyone on Liu Bei's side was already kneeling down "poof", bowing to the monarch and ministers, and bowing to the Son of Heaven.

Cao Zhi is the prime minister, and in the past, he had a sword in the upper hall in Xudu, and he was exempted from the privilege of great gifts, so he only stood and gave salutes, and never knelt.

Cao Zhi didn't kneel, and Yuan Shang naturally wouldn't lose his worth, and he also learned Cao Zhi's way to stand and salute Liu Xie.

Liu Xie, with the support of his personal attendants, stepped out of the carriage, his eyes slowly flowed back and forth on Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi who were standing and bowing, and Liu Bei who was kneeling, his hand hidden in his sleeve was secretly clenched into a fist, but his face was still calm, and he just said lightly.

"The three lovers are exempt."

"Your Majesty!"

Only then did Liu Bei stand up, lowered his head, and did not look at Liu Xie.

Yuan Shang looked up and down at the Son of Heaven who was wearing a crown and a crown on his head.

Alas, if it weren't for the two guys Liu Bei and Cao Zhi around him, he would have waved his hand directly now, and asked people to go up and tie up the Son of Heaven, and carry the bundle back to Yecheng directly, and from then on coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

It's a pity that there are these two people around me......

What a sister is an eyesore......

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh, and subconsciously popped out a sentence directly.

"It's a pity that the wolf has more meat and less meat."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei and Cao Zhi's bodies flickered, and they almost didn't fall down, while the face of the Son of Heaven became black, and smoke came out of his head through gritted teeth.

Liu Xie looked at Yuan Shang with fire-breathing eyes, and his tone trembled a little.

"Yuan Aiqing, the meat you say in your mouth, do you mean me?"

Yuan Shang's face was straight, and he hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty has wronged the minister, the minister doesn't dare, how dare the minister say that Your Majesty is meat!" Great disrespect! ”

Liu Xie snorted heavily, and his face softened slightly.

"The minister means that the imperial uncle and the prime minister are wolves."

"............" (To be continued......)
