How can there be such a coincidence in this world?

The technique of mending the knife is the same;

The appearance is the same;

The task of "killing Ma Jun" is extremely consistent!

If Zhao Lei expounded on the doubt about "Guan Xing is alive" before, Guan Yu was still skeptical and negative, and he still thought about it, not wanting to add sadness to the matter of "Anguo".

But now...

Undoubtedly, Guan Yu's mood is complicated, this is an extremely tangled thought, he is both excited and surprised that his son Guan Xing is still alive, but also because... This incident kept him in the dark and made him angry.

After all, it is surprise that outweighs indignation.

"Yun Chang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first..."

Zang Ba noticed Zhou Cang's expression, as if he had something important, and immediately gave it up.

It was also like this, which withdrew Guan Yu's thoughts from the clouds.

"Well... Well..."

Speaking of this, Zang Ba turned around, Guan Yu looked at his figure, accompanied by the sound of "stepping", Zang Ba walked away step by step.

But at this moment...

"Slave, stay..."

"Ahh

Guan Yu's sudden words made Zang Ba pause, and immediately turned around again, and the two were separated by a cold street, but they looked at each other.

At this time, Guan Yu's voice came out slowly.

"Slave, don't talk about it."

Rarely, Guan Yu used a tentative, extremely unconfident tone.

Zang Ba shook his head, and immediately understood Guan Yu's thoughts, "Yun Chang rest assured, Zang is not an open-mouthed person!" ”

Speaking of this, Zang Ba gave up his hand again, but Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes narrowed into a slit, and at the moment when Zang Ba turned around, he gently and faintly chanted the words "thank you"...

is also because of these two words, so that Zang Ba's original step was withdrawn again.

He opened his mouth, but swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

Everyone is a righteous man, some words... Needless to say, it is so clear that each other's state of mind has long been clear.

"Hehe..."

Turning his back to Guan Yu again, Zang Ba shook his head lightly as he walked forward, muttering in his heart.

- "I can't see that under Yun Chang's iron-like appearance, he also has such a delicate heart at this moment!"

- "Despite the old Yuanmen's questioning, Yun Chang still cares about this son!"

- "Guan Xing, is Guan Anguo?"

Thinking of this, Zang Ba had already walked away and disappeared from Guan Yu's gaze.

Then...

Guan Yu, who had eased up a little, turned to Zhou Cang, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's the son of Yunqi... He..."

Without waiting for Zhou Cang to finish speaking, Guan Yu raised his hand: "Guan has been waiting for him for a long time, he now knows that he has come to visit, tell him, don't see him today, tomorrow see if Guan has anything important..."

I don't know if it's because of Guan Xing's "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea";

Or because I waited too long, there were some fluctuations in my mood;

Or, suddenly knowing a secret news, Guan Yu had to take it slowly, and he had to go through the whole thing in his mind and think about it again.

But no matter what, Guan Yu suddenly became cold.

It's just that... He was thinking simple.

"Second General... That..."Zhou Cang hesitated.

"How?" Guan Yu frowned.

Zhou Cang continued, "Yunqi Gongzi, he didn't come to see the general, he sent someone... Is it for the general to go to him? ”

Yes...

Guan Yu was a little suspicious of his ears.

It was also at this moment that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

It's like the tension every time a father and son meet.

Continue... Guan Lin has this ability, he can always use his words and his actions to make Guan Yu's mood go from stable to manic, and it is just a breath.

"Hmph..."

With a cold snort, Guan Yu said coldly, "Did he forget who his father was?" Who is the son? In this world, only the son visits the father, how can there be a reason for the father to visit the son? ”

This...

Feeling the cold atmosphere, Zhou Cang hesitated a little, he opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be choked, "But... But..."

"But what?"

"But the person sent by the prince of Yunqi said that he was on His Majesty's side, let the second general over, and reminded the second general not to forget, who is the king? Who is the minister! ”

Belch...

In an instant, Guan Yu had a feeling that he couldn't hold back.

Okay, who is you? Who are the ministers?

This kid, now he still learns to use "potential" to suppress him?

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, Guan Yu originally thought he could do it again.

But in fact... He had to face a very serious fact, this rebel has not changed at all, and he Guan Yu is not his opponent as always!

"Second General... This..."Zhou Cang saw the complexity of Guan Yu's mood, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Alas...", but seeing that Guan Yu sighed deeply after all, and then said helplessly, "Lead the way ahead..."

The voice was dejected...

It seems that in this depression, what is contained is that Guan Yu's imaginary father-son confrontation ended in his defeat again, again, again!

No, counting the third son Guan Xing, it was two father-son games, and he Guan Yu lost, all, all, and both, and he lost completely!

…

…

Under the guidance of Wei Wei and Ji Ping, Guan Lin passed through the dark tunnel and arrived at a spacious place.

It's a room, but it's not a serious room.

There is nothing here except simple everyday applications.

Guan Lin specially asked, even if Liu Xie, the son of heaven, wants to go out of Gong, he needs to walk a long way through the tunnel, and it is extremely inconvenient to get to the room on the other side.

Even, there is not even a palace person here, let alone serving the Son of Heaven.

However, there are a lot of books in this room, and to Guan Lin's surprise, most of them are medical books, which are from the Jingzhou First Official Medical Office, obviously, these Hanchen specially sent them according to the request of the Son of Heaven.

Wei Wei stopped in front of the last stone gate, turned around and made a gesture to Guan Lin, "Master Yunqi, Your Majesty is inside, please go in..."

Guan Lin glanced at Wei Wei with a stiff expression, took a deep breath uneasily, pushed the door and walked in.

Emperor...

Emperor...

Although Shu Han has always been under the banner of welcoming back the Son of Heaven and the Sanxing Han Dynasty.

But in fact, there are very few people who have really seen the Son of Heaven.

Calculating the age, this son of heaven is also nearly forty years old, a lot of years... are all buried in the completely different but beautiful golden wire cages.

There is really a chance to be like Guan Lin... There weren't many people who met with him one-on-one.

Call...

Exhaling softly, Guan Lin stepped into the last stone gate.

The back room is more simple than the outside, and the decoration... Any ordinary people's house is a hundred times cleaner and neater than here.

The only difference is that there are more books here than outside, and they are still medical books, and there are also such as "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Qianjin Fang", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and other books that originally existed in the world.

Surprisingly, although there are many of these books, they are not messy, and each book is displayed very neatly and meticulously.

Between the large pile of papers, a middle-aged man with a small patch of gray hair visible to the naked eye was squatting on the ground.

He seemed to be full of eyes and immersed in the sea of books.

Let Guan Lin's footsteps walk in, and he carefully flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand as always.

The candlestick beside him was full of candle oil, indicating that the candle flame had been burning for a long time.

This man is the current son of heaven - Liu Xie!

"Your Majesty..."

Guan Lin held his breath, arched his hand slightly, and called out respectfully.

The middle-aged man raised his head to look at Guan Lin, then put down the book in his hand, and the originally very indecent squatting posture immediately changed, turning into a kneeling appearance, he rubbed his hands, and then said to Guan Lin with a smile.

"Presumably, you are the famous Guan Jia Shilang, Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, right? Even though I am imprisoned by that thief, your name is still like thunder! ”

The voice of Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, was low and mellow, and there was no shelf of the Son of Heaven at all, more like a generous elder, coupled with the words of praise he said, it was easy for people to have a sense of intimacy.

Or rather, he was deliberately passing on his friendliness to Guan Lin.

"Your Majesty praises me."

"No, I don't have Miao Zan, when I was your age, I watched my brother being poisoned, I watched Dong Zhuo hold the throne, and I watched the mountains and rivers of this big man fall apart, but I could only float around, unable to do anything... Compared to me, who had a weak heart at that time, you... You're too much stronger. ”

Liu Xie stretched out a finger, half serious, but said bitterly.

As the Son of Heaven, he has indeed experienced hardships and bullying in this life, which can be described as walking on thin ice...

He was also high-spirited, and he also imagined that he wanted to realize his big ambition and clean up this scattered mountains and rivers.

But finally... Hehe, time has smoothed his edges and corners, leaving behind... Only he has been able to accept his ordinary self!

Accept that you can't clean up the old mountains and rivers!

This change in mood made him extremely thorough and relieved at the moment, and it couldn't be clearer than what he wanted!

"Your Majesty..."

Guan Lin opened his mouth, as if he had a premonition because of Liu Xie's words.

And that's what worries him the most.

Liu Xie took out a clean white candle from the darkness and connected it to the candlestick, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot.

But because of this bright hall, Guan Lin suddenly noticed the edict and the heirloom jade seal on the table behind Liu Xie...

This heirloom jade seal was presented to Cao Cao by his subordinates after Yuan Shu's defeat, and Cao Cao returned it to the Son of Heaven.

This piece of jade seal carved by He's Bi, on the book "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters.

Only one corner is missing, this is when Wang Mang usurped power, the Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun threw the jade seal to the ground in anger, causing the jade seal to be missing a corner!

Because of this, this piece of jade seal... If it's fake!

It is no exaggeration to say that it was it that opened the competition of the Han Dynasty...

It is also because of this jade seal that how many heroes have been buried.

"Your Majesty... I think you've misunderstood me..."Guan Lin tried to explain.

"No!" Today, Liu Xie seemed to have a lot to say, and he said lightly: "Since you have come to Luoyang, you must be... Wei Wei and Ji Ping, they have already told you what I mean, right? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xie took the initiative to pick up the jade seal of the country, looking like he was going to hand over the jade seal to Guan Lin, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, General Guan didn't come to see me, most likely because he didn't know how to pick up this jade seal, right?" But then again, the current situation of the Han Dynasty was obtained by you, Guan Lin, I handed over this jade seal to you, and you handed it over to the emperor's uncle, it seems... Much more suitable than General Guan. ”

With these words blurted out... Liu Xie's trembling hands held the jade seal in front of Guan Lin, this nearly forty-year-old emperor, in his life, there was no more moment... More urgent than it is now.

Guan Lin hurriedly retreated, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" My uncle is His Majesty's personal title of General Zuo, the emperor's uncle, even if he does not have the ancients to measure virtue and self-determination, but also never had the hope of non-offense, and now His Majesty handed over this heirloom jade seal to him, that is not in the name of rebellion without virtue, added to my uncle, also added to my father, added to me? If I really took this jade seal, wouldn't my father and I become accomplices in the usurpation? ”

Liu Xie squinted his eyes and shook his head again and again, "No, no... This is not a crime, nor is it a rebellion, this is what I want to give to the emperor's uncle, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, to say a word of betraying the ancestors, from the time when the edict was leaked, Uncle Dong and Dong Guiren were killed by the Cao thief, I... I have thought countless times that I want to hand over this jade seal to Cao Cao and exchange this jade seal for my freedom! But after all, I can't bear it, I feel ashamed of the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty, Uncle Liu Huang is different from the Cao thief, his surname is Liu, his ancestor is King Jing of Zhongshan, he is the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, Han can be passed to Guangwu, why can't it be passed on to Emperor Xiaojing's great-grandson? I gave him this throne, but I gave it to the virtuous without virtue, my ancestors and ancestors... Jiuquan will definitely be pleased! ”

"This..."

Without waiting for Guan Lin to blurt out, Liu Xie's tone became more and more urgent, "Yunqi, you can take it for your uncle, you should help me... Also... Let me go for your uncle and give me freedom! ”

In the end, Liu Xie no longer needs me to live on his own, but uses me...

is still the same sentence, he accepted his life of doing nothing, and accepted his fateful arrangement.

Giving this throne to Uncle Liu Huang, he is worthy of his ancestors, and he can be regarded as a perfect explanation for the decades of Han Emperor's career as if he was walking on thin ice!

Guan Lin still shook his head, "Your Majesty, my uncle is not a thief, he will not restrict your freedom, he will wholeheartedly assist you!" Regard you as the true Son of Heaven and as the co-master of the world! ”

Liu Xie took an eager step forward, he almost bowed down and stuffed the jade seal into Guan Lin's arms, "Guan Lin, Guan Lin, you have repeatedly let that Cao thief suffer, helped the dangerous man up, and helped your uncle establish this immortal deed, you... You are the wisest of all! You're so smart, why can't you be honest with me? Before I was eighteen years old, I also wanted to use my own strength to save the Han family, to do great things like Han Wu and Guangwu... But in the past 20 years, I have long understood that the mandate of heaven may be in Han, but it is no longer in me... My luck can no longer support the prosperity of this big man, only by letting Uncle Liu Huang be the son of heaven can the people of the world have hope, and I myself can have hope... Let alone... What's more..."

In the end, Liu Xie was already crying, tears welling up, "What's more, you said that Uncle Liu Huang would assist me?" But is the military power and the political power mine? Even if Uncle Liu Huang wants to return to me, will his advisers and generals agree? Kill the traitor? Which one didn't gradually become a traitor to the other side after gaining power? Don't... Today is the emperor's uncle, it is your Guan family's father and son who exterminated the traitor Cao Cao, he day, you want to see... Someone else rose up, as if he was now exterminating Cao Cao... Will I rebel against you? Do you want to see that? ”

Bitter mouth, hoarse and exhausted-

Liu Xie has already cried into tears.

This kind of mental journey has been held in my heart for too long, decades... Decades, now... poured out his brain, which made his whole person have a great sense of release.

Seems... The moment the jade seal of the country was withdrawn, he was relieved.

It's just that Guan Lin still didn't take the jade seal, but respectfully sent the jade seal back to the original table.

Even with the edict that had already been written, Guan Lin took it and threw it directly into the brazier.

"Guan Lin, you..."

"Your Majesty... Can you listen to me first? If I can't convince Your Majesty with these words, then I can only let my uncle come to Luoyang to meet Your Majesty in person! ”

Not...

As if Liu Xie didn't realize that Guan Lin not only shirked this heirloom jade seal... Moreover, he even tried to convince himself.

For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know whether to praise the young man for his courage or laugh at him... To do this is doomed to fail.

Or rather... The fourth son of the Guan family has gone too smoothly since his debut, he has won many battles, and he has never been defeated.

But so what?

Liu Xie is sure that it is impossible for him to take back his fate... This day, he really didn't want to do it, he was "imprisoned" by Cao Cao for more than 20 miles, and the fear he felt was already too much, and he didn't want to go back to that nightmare life! He really wanted to go out of this palace and see...

"Hehe... I know it's futile, but if you want to say it, then say it..."

Liu Xie waved his sleeves and approved Guan Lin's proposal.

Guan Lin raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven solemnly, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, what is the root cause of the disintegration of this great man?" Could it be rooted in people's minds... Or in other words, the emperor era opened after the Qin Emperor swept Liuhe and established the unification of the world, transforming the public world into a family world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism and enshrined Confucianism as orthodoxy, but in fact... Whether it's the world or Confucianism, will it... These two points are two profound mistakes! Or... From the cultural and ideological level, the hereditary system of this emperor and the respect and spread of Confucianism themselves have great hidden dangers and threats. ”

Belch...

Guan Lin's words made Liu Xie stunned.

This is the first person who dared to say such a thing since I was a child!

The presence of the Emperor? No... Is it the existence of the title emperor? Itself... Is it a mistake?

With surprise, shock, and incredulity, Liu Xie's eyes were round and huge, and he stared at Guan Lin, looking forward to what else would come out of his mouth.

At this moment, in the candle flame, the beating firelight sprinkled on Guan Lin's face, which also made his cheeks look more serious and meticulous.

"When it comes to the world, when it comes to thought, when it comes to the orthodoxy of the emperor, then... The first thing to mention is Confucianism, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, the sage was not a saint at that time, and was once scolded as a lost dog. Later, Qin swept Liuhe and unified the world, but the first emperor made a mistake in the ideological column, not only burning books and pit Confucianism, but also taking the law as a teaching and officials as teachers, trying to severely punish the rule of law... As a result, Qin died due to violent reforms, and then Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled, and Chu and Han fought each other to win the world..."

"This Emperor Gaozu, who was born in the lower class, originally thought that he would win the world immediately, and felt that the "poems" and "books" were useless, but fortunately, Lu Jia, a Confucian scholar at that time, wrote a book to discuss the reasons why Qin was too difficult to lose, and used it to admonish, at this time... Liu Bangcai realized the importance of Confucianism, and later crossed Shandong from Huainan and sacrificed to the Confucian saint very solemnly, opening a precedent for the emperor to sacrifice Confucius! Although during the later period of Emperor Wenjing, the Taoist rule of inaction was pursued, but after all, Confucianism in the folk was still the desire of the people, so... At the time of Emperor Wu, Confucianism was finally enshrined as the state religion! Three hundred years of Confucianism flourished, but... These three hundred years? What does the world look like? What has Dahan become? In this world... Thousands of Li Shu, what do they look like? Your Majesty should know it! ”

"A Yellow Turban rebellion can start the decline of the Han Dynasty, and a Dong Zhuo disaster can make the people of this world lose their hearts and morals, and let the three outlines and five constants be left behind, the son kills his father, and the ministers threaten the king, and it is not uncommon for such a slippery thing to be ridiculous... At the end of the day, what's the problem? In my opinion... The problem is that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Symbolizing the people of water, throughout the beginning and end of the Han Dynasty, there is no one... There is no force that will think from their point of view! There is also no system to restrain the imperial power, the emperor is strong, the country is strong, the emperor is weak... then the country is broken, and such a system itself... Isn't it a huge problem and a hidden danger? ”
