Chapter 126: My Life Is Walking on Thin Ice
Whether it was Liu Xie or Yuan Shao, the original purpose was just to get through the trick and not be recognized by Kong Rong.
But people are always not satisfied, and Liu Xie now wants to try Guo Jia and Jia Xu's suggestions.
Let's try to see if you can take Kong Rong!
If you get Kong Rong, you will get the reputation of the Son of Heaven in Beihai.
Not only can he rely on Beihai County to plot the entire Qingzhou.
can also turn him, a fake son of heaven, into a real son of heaven.
"In that case, I won't hide it from Aiqing."
Looking at Kong Rong, who had already taken the bait, Liu Xie started a new round of performances.
"Soon after I came to Yecheng, Yuan Shao revealed his true colors. Yuan Thief wants to use me as a puppet to order the princes of the world to achieve his wolf ambitions. ”
"But how can I be willing? How can I watch the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty be ruined? ”
"When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, I was too young, and I didn't have a choice."
"Now that I have grown up, even if I risk my life, I will choose to fight for that glimmer of life. Fight not only for myself, but also for the Han Dynasty! ”
"But Yuan Shao is powerful, and there is a puppet emperor in Xu County who destroys my majesty, even if I have the intention to kill the thief, I can't return to the sky."
Liu Xie was like a master of successful speech, his tone was subdued and impassioned, and he clenched his fist with his right hand and waved it violently, as if to break the shackles of fate.
In the end, he sighed, as if he was helpless and powerless because of Yuan Shao and the puppet emperor.
He got up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the palaces outside the Xuan, his eyes full of sadness.
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. ”
"The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward. ”
When Kong Rong heard this, his face was completely moved.
He seemed to see the Son of Heaven when he was a child, and he was unwilling to resist in the face of Dong Zhuo's powerlessness.
Now that he has grown up, he has tried everything to break free from Yuan Shao's shackles, turned the tide of the tide, supported the building to fall, and swore to continue the Han Dynasty.
can be trapped in the Yuan camp, alone, even if he has great ambition, he is not against the cruelty of reality.
The sorrow for the Han and the hatred for the traitors in my heart are like spring water flowing eastward, endless.
"Your Majesty......"
Kong Rong's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice became hoarse.
I wanted to say something to comfort the sorrowful young man in front of the window, but I couldn't say a word.
Liu Xie turned to look at Kong Rong, the sorrow on his face dissipated, replaced by a resolute one.
"I am like a flat boat, floating in the ocean. Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are like a violent storm, which can easily destroy me. ”
"But so what!" Liu Xie's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea." I firmly believe that the Mandate of Heaven is in Han, and the Mandate of Heaven is in me! ”
"Let's make this storm harder!"
Although Kong Rong is old, his heart is surging and his blood is surging.
The Han has such a heavenly son, why can't it be revived? Why can't you regain your sight!
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a son of heaven in Xu County, if he really couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, he couldn't wait to kowtow with loyalty at this time.
Taking a deep breath, Kong Rong struggled to calm down the boiling blood.
"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, how to get rid of Yuan Shao's clamps, and how to pacify the north and sweep the world?"
Liu Xie scolded secretly in his heart.
This is already a speech in which he exerts all his strength, which is both generous and touching and inspirational, how could Kong Rong be so difficult to handle.
Although he was disappointed in his heart, he still didn't forget what Guo Jia and Jia Xu confessed.
Just took advantage of this time to show his forbearance and talent to Kong Rong.
"For more than a year, I have been with Yuan Shaoxu on the surface. In fact, he secretly cultivated his own strength. ”
Today, this force is growing! There is no need for princes from all walks of life, as long as I am given time, I will disintegrate Yuan Shao from within. Jizhou? Northern? The whole world will surely return to the Great Han. ”
Kong Rong was slightly worried: "Your Majesty is secretly cultivating strength, is it ...... Aren't you afraid? If Yuan Shao detects it, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Afraid?" Liu Xie sneered and interrupted Kong Rong, his eyes seemed to be mocking and disdainful.
"Soon after I was born, my mother was killed; When he was nine years old, he was held hostage by the traitor Dong Zhuo, and he was worried every day. ”
"Yuan Shao wants to support Liu Yu, and Li Guo's two thieves also want to hold Yu Yu hostage; fled to Xu County and was forced by Cao Cao; came to Yecheng and was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shao. ”
"I'm walking on thin ice all my life!"
"I'm afraid of this word, as early as when Dong Zhuo threatened me, when the concubine betrayed me, when I fled alone to stay in a deserted temple at night, and when I fought with wild dogs for food, I disappeared into my life!"
Liu Xie's whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath.
Sharp!
"In this world of great contention, who can not fight, who dares not to fight?"
"Strong is strong! Weak or dead! ”
"I am the Son of Heaven, if I don't fight, I will die, and if I don't fight, I will die!"
"Now ——!"
Liu Xie's voice suddenly rose a notch.
Kong Rong's heartstrings also tightened.
I saw Liu Xie's spirit flying, and his eyes were blazing: "The thousand guards of the palace are already under my control!" ”
"Yuan Shao's advisors, two of them have returned to me!"
"Lu Bu and Liu Bei occupy Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and they are loyal to me."
"Wuji Zhen is also loyal to me."
"Ministers, generals, soldiers, horses, food and grass, there is no shortage of everything, and there are a lot of everything!"
"Just wait for Yuan Shao to die, the internal chaos, I should cooperate with the outside to make Jizhou return to the Han Dynasty. At that time, Jizhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou will be used as the base, and Qingzhou and Xuzhou will be annexed. With the land of the five states, clean up the universe, and level the subordinates! ”
Liu Xie's eyes are like electricity, and his voice is sonorous like iron!
He condescendingly looked down at Kong Rong, who was lying on his back, and asked sharply: "At this time when the survival of the Han is in danger, Aiqing plans not to distinguish the Son of Heaven, so that my reputation will be damaged, and the last hope of the Han to regain his sight will be buried!" ”
"Answer my !!"
In the Xuan room, there seemed to be the sound of a dragon's groan.
I have a will.
A blockbuster that shocked the world!
A cold sweat broke out behind Kong Rong's back, and he only felt overwhelmed by the brilliant heavenly power emanating from Liu Xie's body and his words.
He never thought that a son of heaven who was subject to others would silently accumulate such a huge amount of power under Yuan Shao's nose.
The Son of Heaven is so forbearing, and he has such talent.
What's even more terrifying is that Yuan Shao didn't notice it at all!
seized Yuan Shao's foundation, based on Jizhou, and Lu Bu responded, and Zhen supported...... Your Majesty may really be able to revive the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital!
Kong Rong's heart was extremely shocked.
He could judge that what Liu Xie said was true, and if it really developed like this, the restoration of the Han Dynasty would not be empty talk.
And the key to all this lies in the orthodox identity of the Son of Heaven!
Without the identity of the Son of Heaven, everything gathered now will collapse with a bang, and all efforts will be in vain.
Dahan has no chance to recover!
Kong Rong's heart was extremely entangled, and he didn't know how to choose.
It is to abide by the duties of Hanchen, and truthfully declare to the outside world that it is impossible to distinguish the truth of the Son of Heaven.
Or do you abide by your inner voice and believe that the person in front of you is the true dragon emperor?
He not only hoped that the Han family could regain his sight, but also worried that once he chose the wrong one, the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty would be out of place.
Kong Rong's breathing became more and more rapid, and the four words of Han orthodoxy seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, like a mountain pressing on his chest, so that he could not make a choice without permission.
But the hope of recovering the Han family forced him to abandon the so-called authenticity and admit the heroic young man in front of him.
Liu Xie stood in place and waited quietly.
But as time passed, Kong Rong still didn't say a word and didn't respond to him.
Just when he was hesitating whether to continue the previous wave of pressure, Kong Rong suddenly tilted his head and fell to the ground.
“???”
Liu Xie was stunned, and then shocked!
"Aiqing! Aiqing, what's wrong with you? ”
He didn't care about maintaining any Heavenly Son's prestige, so he rushed to Kong Rong's side in three steps and two steps to check on his situation.
I saw that Kong Rong's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and it didn't look like a normal state no matter how he looked at it.
"It's not going to die, is it?"
Liu Xie's face turned white with fright, and he cautiously reached out to probe Kong Rong's snort, and his heart was extremely nervous.
If Kong Rong died here, he wouldn't be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
People all over the world will think that he killed Kong Rong because of his weak heart, and even Yuan Shao's reputation will not be able to be regained at that time.
But fortunately, Kong Rong's snort still exists.
"I'm scared to death."
Liu Xie was relieved, and while pinching Kong Rong's middle man, he shouted loudly: "Gao Ran, Gao Ran, come here." Kong Aiqing fainted! ”
Gao Ran heard Liu Xie's call and hurriedly ran in.
Without waiting for him to ask, Liu Xie looked anxious and said, "Don't be stunned, go and call someone!" ”
"Good...... Good!! Gao Ran saw Kong Rong fainting to the ground, and he was also frightened, and hurriedly ran out of the Xuan room.
It didn't take long for Yuan Shao, who learned the news, to hurry over with a large group of Ziwenchen generals.
Seeing Kong Rong who fainted on the ground in the Xuan room, and Liu Xie, who was desperately pinching others, they were all shocked.
"What happened to the Prime Minister!"
Yuan Shao was so frightened when he saw this scene that his soul was about to fly out, and he didn't even choose to speak, and his title became "you".
But fortunately, no one is paying attention to this at this moment.
Everyone's attention is on Kong Rong!
Liu Xie cried and said with a sad face: "I don't know." I just answered the Prime Minister's question normally, and asked me and the Son of Heaven of Xu County who was the real dragon, and then he fainted! ”
At this moment, Yuan Shao even has the heart to kill Liu Xie!
If Kong Rong had an accident in Yecheng, it would be even more terrifying than directly claiming that the Son of Heaven in Yecheng was fake!
If Cao Cao knew it, his mouth would be crooked!
Glaring at Liu Xie with cannibalistic eyes, Yuan Shao stepped forward to probe Kong Rong and snorted, and then scolded everyone behind him: "Come and help, send the minister of state to my mansion!" ”
"I want to see the best medical officer in Yecheng within half a stick of incense!"
When everyone heard this, no one dared to slack off, and carried Kong Rong out of the Xuan room with all hands and feet.
After everyone went out, Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Xie, who was full of panic, and said coldly: "If Kong Rong dies, you don't have to live." ”
If Kong Rong had an accident in Yecheng, then there would be no need to dispute whether the true or false Son of Heaven was any longer, and no one in the world would believe any of his Yuan Shao's words, and all his reputation would be ruined.
Liu Xie, the fake genius, can only be used to vent his anger, and there is no need for it to exist.
Liu Xie lowered his head, always maintaining a state of fear and panic, until Yuan Shao was far away, and his expression slowly returned to normal.
At this moment, he felt the threat of death.
His life was in Yuan Shao's hands.
"Yuan Shao......"
Liu Xie clenched the fist hidden in his sleeve, and his eyes gradually became cold.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside the Xuan Room, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Guo Jia and Jia Xu.
"Why did you get back?" Liu Xie frowned slightly.
Yuan Shao took Kong Rong back to Yuan's mansion, and Jia Xu and Guo Jia should also follow everyone over.
If you leave without permission, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, at this time, the personnel are mixed, and everyone's attention is on Kong Beihai, and no one will care about us."
"Even if someone notices, we can use an excuse to go to the doctor."
Jia Xu explained simply, and couldn't help but sigh.
"How can Your Majesty do anything to Kong Beihai? Even if you can't win him over, you can't beat him! ”
Originally, according to the prior plan, when Liu Xie and Kong Rong were alone, they took the opportunity to persuade and win over Kong Rong.
Unexpectedly, after a period of time, they got the news that Kong Rong had fainted.
How could a big living person faint for no reason?
Not only Jia Xu, but many people present at the time thought that Liu Xie could not persuade Kong Rong, so they became angry and beat people and knocked Kong Rong unconscious.
It's no wonder that they are so associated, who let the old Liu family have a similar antecedent.
It is recorded in the history books that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty played chess with his courtiers, but he couldn't play, so he directly picked up the chessboard and beat the opponent to the head.
"I didn't hit him, I really didn't hit him!"
Liu Xie was very speechless in his heart, he was not the great Han chess saint.
Guo Jia saw that Liu Xie didn't seem to make a move, and couldn't help asking, "How did Kong Beihai faint?" What did His Majesty say to him? ”
Liu Xie said: "I just followed the previous discussion, I knew him with affection and reason, and explained my plan to restore the Han Dynasty, so that he would surrender to me. I didn't do anything else! ”
He's just under a little pressure.
Who would have thought that Kong Rong's psychological endurance was so poor?
After three or two sentences, I actually fainted!
If this is an official in the Hongwu Dynasty, I am afraid that I will be scared to death, and I will not live to this age at all.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu listened to it, but they felt incredible.
Can you pass out too?
Could it be due to old age and the fatigue of the journey?
"I just hope that Kong Beihai can be safe, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." Jia Xu sighed and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, the ministers will go to Yuan Shao's mansion first, and then report to Your Majesty if there is any situation in the future." ”
"Go ahead." Liu Xie nodded.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu left in a hurry.
……
Yuan's house, a certain courtyard.
After Yuan Shao brought Kong Rong back to the mansion, he summoned the best doctors in the city to come and treat him.
At this time, Kong Rong was lying unconscious on the bed.
A physician takes his pulse.
Yuan Shao stood aside, his anxious heart was pinched, Kong Rong couldn't die in Yecheng anywhere.
Seeing that the doctor had finished taking the pulse, he immediately asked nervously, "How is the situation of the prime minister?" Is it a big deal? ”
The doctor replied: "The general does not need to worry, the minister of state is just overworked, and he has been stimulated to the point that his mind is agitated, so he passed out in a coma, and he only needs to rest for one night." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was still a little uneasy, and told again: "You check it again to make sure there are no problems!" ”
"What decoction to prescribe and what herbs to use, although I said, I also have good Codonopsis in my house.!"
As long as Kong Rong doesn't die in Jizhou, let alone any party ginseng, he can even hand over the jade seal of the country.
The doctor said helplessly: "General, there is really no need to prescribe any medicine, the prime minister's body is still healthy, he just needs to rest." ”
"If the general is not at ease, you can also ask other doctors to come and diagnose."
Yuan Shao wanted to ask a few more doctors to diagnose just in case, but he noticed that Kong Rong's eyelids twitched, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Prime Minister!"
Seeing that Kong Rong woke up, Yuan Shao almost cried with joy.
Kong Rong shook his head and found that he was in an unfamiliar environment, and Yuan Shao and others were still standing in front of him, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Where is the old man?" What about Your Majesty? ”
He only remembered that in the face of the persecution of the Son of Heaven, the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and the restoration of the Han Dynasty were all dependent on him alone, and it depended on his decision.
In desperation, he could only fall into a coma.
It's because the body is really unwell.
And because I don't know how to answer.
"Don't move!" Yuan Shao saw that Kong Rong was about to get up and stay, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "The minister of state passed out when he was talking to His Majesty, and now he is in my house." ”
"The doctor said that the minister was overworked and needed to recuperate."
Kong Rong ignored Yuan Shao and just looked up at the window.
Then his face changed.
I saw that it was getting late outside, the sun was about to set, and a little starry light appeared in the distant sky, and it was already evening!
"Quick! Send me back to the inn! ”
Kong Rong hurriedly jumped out of bed, and ran out of the house without even caring about putting on his shoes, Yuan Shao couldn't stop him if he wanted to!
In the courtyard, Fu Zhu, Judge, Tian Feng and others were all there, and when they saw Kong Rong rushing out of the house, they all looked happy.
But before they could go up to greet them, Kong Rong ran directly past them and rushed out of the courtyard.
……
Outside the city, the post house stables.
Tai Shici pulled the horses out of the stable, looked up at Yecheng not far away, and silently clenched the reins in his hand.
