Liu Xie's life has not changed much because of the subduing of Guo Jia, and the days are still passing day by day as usual.

The only difference is that Guo Jia will come to the palace from time to time to chat with him to pass the time, which makes Liu Xie feel not so boring.

And so it was very fast, and a month passed.

With the arrival of winter, the end of the year is gradually approaching.

The forces of all the princes have settled down during this time, after all, Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important festival of the year, who doesn't want to live in peace?

What's more, winter is not suitable for war, and provoking a war at this time will not only gain little benefit, but the soldiers will also have war weariness.

In order to celebrate the Spring Festival, Yuan Shao, in the name of Liu Xie, summoned civil and military officials to hold a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.

……

When night fell, it was like a curtain falling.

Yecheng is still prosperous and bright, dotted with thousands of lights, and the stars complement each other, full of lively New Year's flavor.

The palace is brightly lit and full of traffic.

Tonight, the palace will hold a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and the military generals under Yuan Shao, as well as his family's small doors, all rushed to participate, and all kinds of carriages stopped outside the palace, stopping in the water.

The banquet was held in the side hall of the Imperial Palace.

Although it is a partial hall, but the specifications are not low, and the construction is extremely magnificent and magnificent, which shows that Yuan Shao made great efforts to build this palace.

The banquet is divided into two sides, and the seats are mixed according to their status.

Although all the guests have not yet arrived, the banquet has been prepared, and the guests present are talking and laughing with each other, and the atmosphere is warm.

At the end of the banquet on both sides is the throne where the emperor sits.

Liu Xie, dressed in full costume, was sitting on it.

He is wearing a red and black dragon robe today, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, and a jade ring around his waist, he himself is not bad looking, and now after dressing up like this, he is even more majestic as a son of heaven.

But not many people present cared about him.

Except for the occasional glance of scrutiny and disdain, no one came to greet him, let alone congratulate him.

And Liu Xie, of course, knows what the reason is.

"Do you just think of me as a mascot?"

Liu Xie pouted secretly, this group of people is not pretending to be now.

Although it is true that he has no power, just a name and a symbol, these guys are inevitably too obvious.

It had been half an hour since he came in, and there was no one who came to greet him, which was really chilling.

Guo Jia was also in the main hall, but he was sitting closer to the door, and Liu Xie could only barely see him; As for Zhang He and Gao Ran, they are even more sad, they don't even have the qualifications to enter the main hall, and they are still guarding the gate of the palace.

was so ignored, it is no wonder that they both voted for Cao Cao in the future.

Yuan Benchu lost really unjustly.

Just when Liu Xie was thinking nonsense in his heart, the hall suddenly became quiet, so he set his eyes on the door of the hall.

I saw Yuan Shao striding in, and behind him, there were Liu Guanzhang and the others, as well as Fu Zhu, Xian Pei, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and other strategists.

"Here we are."

Liu Xie's heart was slightly cold, and he sat up a little straighter.

Yuan Shao led everyone into the center of the hall, and then confessed to Liu Xie: "The ministers are late for the banquet, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive you." ”

Can really pretend to be ......

Liu Xie scolded in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, I have just arrived, Yuan Aiqing should sit down quickly, I have prepared a place for you." ”

There is a seat at the bottom right of Liu Xie.

It was specially prepared for Yuan Shao.

The Han Dynasty respected the right, and Yuan Shao sat in a higher position than other civil and military officials, second only to Liu Xie's position.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Shao bowed slightly, and then strode towards his seat.

Liu Xie said to Liu Bei again: "Uncle Huang should also sit." ”

Although Liu Bei's official position is not comparable to Yuan Shao, as his imperial uncle, he can still get the seat, which is in the lower left of Liu Xie, opposite Yuan Shao's seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bei saluted respectfully, and then took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to sit down.

The three of them are sworn brothers, and it is not too much to sit at the same table.

"Then, Shu announced that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has officially begun!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Xie stood up with his wine glass and announced loudly.

But when his voice fell, there was silence in the hall.

Everyone's eyes were on Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, and said a little angrily: "Look at what I'm doing, haven't you heard Your Majesty's words?" The party begins! ”

"No——!"

Everyone responded in unison, and at the same time the music was playing.

Liu Xie smiled awkwardly and sat down silently.

Made, overacted, I really thought I was the Son of Heaven.

Don't say that your son of heaven is fake, even if it's true, you don't have the right to speak.

He looked at the wine glasses on the table, and the slightly cloudy liquor in them reflected his still slightly immature face, which inexplicably felt a little funny.

"Tsk, I'm a clown."

Liu Xie pursed his lips, then looked down at the main hall.

This is called by His Majesty a lot, and the mentality swells, which is not a good phenomenon, and it will kill people.

The atmosphere in the hall has gradually become warmer.

The ministers were staggered, and there was an endless stream of people who came to toast Yuan Shao, and even Liu Bei had many people come to show him goodwill.

Only his side was empty.

Liu Xie sat alone in the emperor's place, in the midst of this hustle and bustle, but it was as if it did not exist, and no one cared about it.

Like a minion, he appeared in a place that didn't belong to him.

But Liu Xie didn't care about this, he knew that he was just a puppet, and even the identity of this Son of Heaven was fake; And even if it's true, no one present cares, Yuan Shao is the real protagonist.

Because he is just a down-and-out traverser, not lucky to look like the Son of Heaven, he can't even enter the gate of this palace.

It's a great gift and a blessing to be able to sit here.

But...... Why did he feel unwilling?

I can't help myself, I can't even control my life, I'm as small as an ant, and no one cares.

These bigwigs can decide his life and death with a casual word, so insignificant.

Guo Jia in the main hall had been silently watching Liu Xie's state, but after seeing him like this, he smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to be in a high position and have no power."

Guo Jia said secretly in his heart while drinking.

In fact, after coming into contact with this young Majesty, his greatest feeling was that this Majesty, despite his extraordinary wisdom and great ambitions, was too lazy and lacked a sense of momentum.

Guo Jia can understand, after all, this majesty is just a young man who has not yet been weakened, and he needs a little external pressure to guide him.

And humiliation and anger are the best medicine.

"It seems that in the future, we will have to find a way to let Your Majesty experience this situation more, so that he can have more desire and ambition for power."

Guo Jia made up his mind in his heart, and his eyes were deep.

Now the world is a world of great contention, and if you don't fight, you can only perish; And Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, has to fight even more!
