Out of Tao Huanniang's dormitory, as soon as Liu Wei walked out of the main gate, he saw a Yulin guard standing outside the door with his hands down.

When the soldier saw Liu Wei, he hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, Yuan Xi, the son of Yuan Shao of Jizhou, asks to see you!" ”

The soldier said Yuan Xi's name, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and the young man who was playing against someone in Lingyun Pavilion instantly appeared in his mind.

Although he and Yuan Xi did not report their names to each other, at that time, Liu Wei felt that Yuan Xi had an extraordinary bearing and was by no means an ordinary child of the scholar clan. Moreover, Yuan Xi was also known as the Hebei clan at that time, so when the two sides were compared, Liu Wei basically determined that the person who came to see him was the young man who met in Lingyun Pavilion yesterday.

"Where are the others?" The figure of Yuan Xi appeared in his mind, and Liu Wei asked the soldier as he walked out, "When did you come to the palace?" ”

"I'm already waiting for a stick of incense!" Following Liu Wei, the soldier first replied, and then said to Liu Wei: "The military advisor is meeting with the little general of the Yuan family in the front hall, and the generals in the army are also in the hall. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Wei nodded and didn't speak again, but his pace sped up a little.

Several Yu Linwei, who came to Tao Huanniang's dormitory with Liu Wei the night before, hurriedly followed him, walked briskly all the way, and went towards the outer courtyard.

When he arrived at the outer courtyard, before he came to the stairs outside the front hall, Liu Wei found that there were already two rows of heavily armed Yulin guards standing side by side on the stairs, at least two or three times more than the usual guards.

Standing up the stairs, all of them wearing bright red robes and the armor with heart guards on their chests.

The breeze swept over the stairs, stirring the fiery red feathers on the head of the Feather Forest Guard, and the red feathers trembled violently like a ball of jumping flames under the blowing of the wind.

Standing on both sides of the stairs, everyone in the position of holding one hand on their waists and the other hand on the hilt of their swords, standing still like a statue.

Leading a few Yu Lin Guards, walking up the stairs, when Liu Wei was about to arrive at the door of the front hall, a Yu Lin Wei officer standing outside the hall shouted loudly: "Your Highness has arrived!" ”

When Yuan Xi came to the Luoyang Palace, Liu Wei had not yet gotten up, and it was Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others who entertained him.

Hearing Yu Linwei shouting outside the door, "Your Highness has arrived", everyone who was originally sitting in the hall hurriedly got up and stood on both sides of the hall, clasped their hands into fists, bowed slightly, and waited for Liu Wei to enter the main hall.

After crossing the threshold, as soon as Liu Wei entered the hall, he asked everyone with a smile on his face: "I heard that the little general of the original family came to Luoyang, I don't know where he is?" ”

As soon as Liu Bian's words came out, Yuan Xi and Han Heng, who were standing in the hall with their fists in their fists, both raised their heads and set their eyes on Liu Bian.

When they saw Liu Wei's appearance clearly, Yuan Xi's eyes were wide open, his face was full of consternation, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a "poof".

Han Heng, who came to Luoyang with Yuan Xi, also knelt on the ground, and when he saw Liu Bian's appearance clearly, he already remembered the rude situation he had had been to Liu Biao and the others in Lingyun Pavilion the day before. He knelt on the ground, and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Since Deng Zhan is not a military general in the military camp, he is only responsible for training dragoons on weekdays, and occasionally meddles in some affairs of Yulin Guard, but he will not participate in the ordinary palace meeting.

It was precisely because Deng Zhan, who had accompanied Liu Wei to Lingyun Pavilion, did not come to the front hall that Yuan Xi and Han Heng did not know that the person they met in Lingyun Pavilion the day before was Liu Wei and his party.

Although Liu Wei has never been to Jizhou, his reputation for killing decisively has long been spread in Jizhou. Especially the first two batches of the Huns and the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Zan who infiltrated Hongnong County were even more legendary. The number of people killed by him that day was also directly exaggerated from more than 100 to thousands.

With this notoriety, Yuan Xi and Han Heng were somewhat afraid of Liu Wei in their hearts. Now that they suddenly saw Liu Bian, thinking that Han Heng had wanted to kick Liu Bian out of the private room, how could they not be surprised? Especially Han Heng, at this time, there were already beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, and he was afraid that Liu Yan would recognize him and cut off his head.

"Little General, why is that?" Seeing Yuan Xi and Han Heng kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, first exchanged glances with Xu Shu, and then raised his hand towards Yuan Xi and Han Heng, and said to them: "The little general, please get up, Ling Zun is a loyal man, the little general is loyal, there is no need to be so polite!" ”

"The last will be guilty! The last will not dare! Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Xi did not get up, but said in great fear: "The end of yesterday will ......"

When Yuan Xi spoke, Liu Wei had already strode to the main seat, sat down behind the low table, raised his hand towards Yuan Xi again, interrupted his words, and said to him: "What is the crime of the little general? Get up and talk! ”

Liu Wei asked him to get up again, Yuan Xi didn't dare to disobey, stood up, hugged his fists and bowed, and then said to Liu Wei: "I won't know ...... Your Highness at the end of yesterday."

As soon as the words began, Yuan Xi first stopped talking, raised his eyes and looked at everyone in the hall, seeing that everyone didn't pay too much attention to what he said, and Liu Wei didn't mean to stop him, so he continued: "Your subordinate Han Heng rushed into His Highness, please surrender His Highness, and the general is willing to bear all the responsibility!" ”

Yuan Xi pleaded guilty to Liu, but Han Heng kept kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up. When Yuan Xi said that he was willing to bear all the responsibility for his crimes, Han Heng turned his head slightly and glanced at Yuan Xi in fear.

Although he didn't say anything at this time, he had considered it in his heart, if Liu Biao really condemned Yuan Xi, he would definitely stand up and ask Liu Bian for his guilt.

Glancing at Han Heng who was kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand towards Han Heng, and said to Han Heng: "General Han, please get up too." Yesterday, the two of you didn't know that this king would go to Lingyun Pavilion, and those who didn't know were not guilty, how could this king blame you and others? It's just General Han, although he is eager to protect the Lord, but he can't bully people in the market, remember! ”

The implicit meaning of these words is obviously that Liu Wei did not mind what happened the day before. In this regard, Yuan Xi was not too surprised, but Han Heng was stunned, knelt on the ground, and raised his head to look at Liu Wei. thought that he had heard that Liu Wei had killed people in Jizhou, and he believed it at first, but now he has offended Liu Wei, but he was pardoned lightly. Feeling Liu Bian's generosity, Han Heng couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and suddenly knocked his forehead on the ground with a "tom", kowtowed to Liu Bian and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, and you deserve to die!" ”

"This king is not to blame at all! General Han, get up! The corners of his mouth maintained a faint smile, Liu Wei first gave another order for Han Heng to get up, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Xi and asked Yuan Xi: "I don't know why I wanted the little general to come to Luoyang in person?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked him why he came to Luoyang, and Yuan Xi hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down to him and said: "The last general came to Luoyang on the order of his father, but he implored His Highness to ascend the throne as the emperor......

Hearing the words "ascending the throne as the emperor", Liu Wei frowned tightly, looked at Yuan Xi, and was silent for a long time before saying to Yuan Xi: "The original good intentions, this king understands it." It's just that in this great Han Dynasty, there can only be one emperor, if this king is called the emperor......"

"Your Highness!" Without waiting for Liu Wei to finish speaking, Yuan Xi took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and said to Liu Wei: "Although there is an emperor in the imperial court at the moment, I can ask the ministers of the world, who is convinced?" This world originally belonged to His Royal Highness, and it was the old thief Dong Zhuo who went against the sky, which caused His Highness to give up the country. As long as His Royal Highness raises his arms and shouts, my father and the children of my Yuan family are willing to go forward and succeed His Highness, and die later! ”

"The Yuan family is full of loyalty, and this king is very relieved!" Before Yuan Xi's words fell, Liu Wei took over and said to him: "It's just that this king and the current majesty are brothers, how can you be willing to take the country from him?" If you have the heart to help the king, you will work with the king to support the court, and the Han Sheji will be right! When the world is decided, this king will definitely present it to His Majesty today, and the original torn earth and the king and the prosperity of the Yuan family are just around the corner? Why do you have to sit on the throne of this emperor? ”

"To be an emperor, don't be free!" After saying that, Liu Wei pressed his hands on the low table, bowed slightly, stared at Yuan Xi standing in the hall, and said to him: "As an emperor, even if you go out to play, you must be hugging from front to back, and you will follow thousands of people at every turn. Where is the freedom now? At that time, this king wants to go to Lingyun Pavilion again and watch the little general play against people, but it is also unavailable? It's really suffocating! ”

When Liu Wei said these words, Yuan Xi did not speak out to continue to persuade, but clasped his hands into fists, stood straight and straight in the hall, and stood silently for a long time without speaking.

"Your Highness!" Yuan Xi didn't say anything, Jia Xu and Xu Shu, who were standing on the side, glanced at each other, and then Jia Xu stepped over to Yuan Xi's side, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "What the little general of the Yuan family said is not completely unreasonable!" ”

"This king did not say that the words of the little general are unreasonable." Liu Wei, who had already noticed that Jia Xu and Xu Shu were looking at each other, sat up straight, and said to Jia Xu: "It's just that this king and the current majesty are born from the same root......

"The lineage of the Han family, there are only two people, His Royal Highness and His Majesty today!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Jia Xu raised his face, clenched his fists and said to him: "Today, His Majesty is weak, Chang'an is in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the dynasty is sluggish, how to restore the Han Dynasty?" And His Royal Highness has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, raising his arms and shouting, all the heroes of the world are attached, and the traitors in the world are leveled, but it is just around the corner. There are capable people living in the world, if His Royal Highness does not take it, I am afraid that the villain will take advantage of it! His Royal Highness must not ruin the Han Sheji because of this small section. After a hundred years of His Royal Highness, how will he face the emperor of the Han Dynasty? ”

"Exactly!" Yuan Xi, who was standing next to Jia Xu, was standing there not knowing how to persuade Liu Wei, Jia Xu's words happened to mention him, and he hurriedly said: "My father is also worried about this, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan get Chang'an, they will not be able to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain." This world is still the world of the Han Dynasty! But if His Royal Highness is unwilling to ascend the throne, it will take a long time to stay, once the villain becomes powerful, even if His Highness has the heart, I am afraid that if he wants to reverse the situation, it will take many twists and turns! ”

"Your Highness can't ascend the throne for the time being!" As soon as Yuan Xi's words were finished, Xu Shu stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty is in Chang'an today, and there is no loss of morality. For today's plan, His Royal Highness should wait and see, if His Majesty is really immoral, it is not too late to ascend the throne again! ”

"Your Majesty seconded the proposal!" After Xu Shu's words were finished, Pang Tong also stood up and said to Liu Wei: "The world is not stable, if you want to protect the Han Dynasty, Your Highness should try your best to protect His Majesty today, so as to avoid fratricide." If His Majesty really has no hope, His Highness can convince the heroes of the world if he corrects the Dynasty Gang again! ”
