Chapter 41: The Son of Heaven
Liu Xie must know about the killing of Dong Zhuo, there is no doubt about it. Because in the court, Wang Yun needed the Son of Heaven to sing and harmonize with him to paralyze Dong Zhuo.
If Liu Xie didn't know about this, and his words were negligent and exposed, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo would screw off his and Wang Yun's heads when he turned around.
In the original historical trend, and what Liu Xie did later, it can be seen that this son of heaven is a great talent, not to mention it. Speaking of his methods alone, that's probably it. Whether it is the so-called edict of clothes and belts later, or other small actions, they have not come out of this framework.
Liu Xie was able to numb Dong Zhuo, firstly because Dong Zhuo was old, and secondly, because he had a character like Wang Yun to assist him. But to paralyze Cao Mengde is delusional.
Cao Mengde's treacherous person?
Liu Xie's actions, I'm afraid in Cao Mengde's eyes, are no different from children's playfulness, right?
As soon as these messy things passed in his heart, Zhao Yu arrived outside the imperial city.
The imperial city was heavily guarded, not only to protect Liu Xie, but also to monitor him and put him under house arrest.
Zhao Yu strolled forward, his body was filled with a wonderful rhyme, and his body melted into the world, obviously he was there, but others turned a blind eye.
In the midst of heavy guards, Zhao Yu walked into the palace.
Although the palace is large, Zhao Yu will be angry.
Seeing a wilting purple qi from a distance, Zhao Yu knew that it must be where Liu Xie was.
If it is a prosperous empire, the Son of Heaven is wise, all the people return to their hearts, and all directions are submitted, and its purple qi will be mighty and terrifying, and people can't help but bow their heads in awe. But now, this Son of Heaven, apart from the name of the Son of Heaven, what else can he have? He can have this soft and old and decaying purple qi, which is still the shadow of the ancestors.
Occasionally, some palace maids and eunuchs walked by tremblingly and cautiously, and they were in panic at any time, as if they would flee at the slightest disturbance. The imperial palace, which is controlled by the warlords of Xiliang, no longer has any dignity at all. In the palace maids and eunuchs, it is vividly revealed.
Zhao Yu walked to the purple palace and looked up to see that it was the Jianzhang Palace.
A huge palace, surrounded by armor, swords and axes, tightly surrounded. The people in the temple are like caged birds, where is there still a little dignity of the Son of Heaven?
Zhao Yu pushed open the door, and the soldier next to him was suddenly inexplicable, thinking that it was blown by the wind. But obviously there is no wind, not to mention that the temple gate is heavy, and the wind can't blow. For a while, they felt cold, suspicious and shivered, and after Zhao Yu walked in from them, they hurriedly closed the door again.
Bang dang!
Crackling!
Crash!
Walking into the hall, the shattering of crisp objects was mixed with the immature hatred of monstrous resentment: "I am the Son of Heaven! I am the Son of Heaven! Dog thief! Dog thief! Dare to do this to me!"
"Your Majesty!"
A girl's voice persuaded: "Your Majesty has the hope of the world, don't take it to heart for a moment of honor and disgrace, Emperor Gao in the past..."
"Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao, you stop, if Emperor Gao has a spirit, how can he watch me suffer such a strange shame!?
"There is no name of the Son of Heaven, and the ancestors are just in the shadows. ”
Zhao Yu walked through a screen, and it was the little genius who was wearing an undershirt and was in a hurry.
"This should be a noble person, right? Zhao Yu, an idler in the mountains and fields, has seen the Son of Heaven and a noble person. ”
Liu Xiecai is only in his early eleven years, and he is only a child in the people. However, at such an age, in the royal family, the experienced person is quite old. Many powerful emperors have already had a ravine in their hearts at his age. However, this son of heaven has gone through so many hardships, and now he is under house arrest by Li Dao, but he is scolding here, and he is not afraid of being heard by Li Dao.
Li Dao didn't even give him enough food, and he still relied on his identity as the Son of Heaven, how stupid he was.
Just like Fu Shou said, he should learn from his ancestor, Emperor Liu Bang. Even if you only learn the acting skills of Emperor Gao, you will not end up like this.
"You... What are you?"
When Liu Xie saw Zhao Yu suddenly appear, his face suddenly turned pale: "Did Li Dao the dog thief ask you to kill me!"
He suddenly remembered his elder brother, the young emperor Liu Wei. Suddenly, he was also in the palace, and he was forcibly poured poison and killed to death.
Liu Xie couldn't help but tremble, and his previous resentment turned into endless fear in an instant.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
The king of people should be as deep as the sea, brave to heaven and earth, this son of heaven is not touched at all except for his name.
The emperor of the world must always have the dignity of an emperor, even if he is afraid and pretending, he must hold on to his dignity. But this son of heaven, if he strips off a royal robe, he is probably no different from a beggar on the street.
Don't say he's young.
As the Son of Heaven, this is not a reason. What's more, after Emperor Ling's death, he experienced the dispute between his relative He Jin and the eunuch Zhang Rang, experienced Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, and even knew that the young emperor and the queen mother were killed, even if it was an elm head, he should have a longer memory. But it seems, no.
The kingdom is dying.
Sometimes Zhao Yu also feels that the big man should not die. Because of the Chinese character, it carries too much. It's a pity that humanity has changed, where is there a dynasty in the world?
The Western Han Dynasty fell and the Eastern Han Dynasty rose, and there was a Liu Xiu who turned the tide. The Eastern Han Dynasty fell and only got the Three Kingdoms, although Liu Bei tried his best, he had the posture of a Chinese person. Although there is perseverance, it is a pity that the sky is not fake, there are few opportunities and people's hearts change.
Or to say that the human heart is the heart of heaven, which is not true. The human heart cannot replace the fundamental operation of the universe, without people, animals, and ants and insects, even if the insects and ants are gone, the universe is still running endlessly. The human heart is not the heart of heaven, but the human heart is a key link in the transformation of humanity.
The human heart is fickle, so humanity is fickle.
Zhao Yu got a lot more at this moment.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, although his dignity has been lost, but after all, he is still the Son of Heaven. Zhao Yu did not despise this Son of Heaven: "Li Dao is not as bold and courageous as Dong Zhuo, he dares to abuse the Son of Heaven, but he does not dare to kill the Son of Heaven." Otherwise, the world is the enemy, and he will not survive this year. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and reacted: "You are not the person sent by Li Dao's dog thief?"
Zhao Yu shook his head with a smile, and slowly sat down cross-legged in front of the Son of Heaven: "I came to Chang'an today, and I suddenly wanted to see the Son of Heaven, so I came." ”
"You... How did you get in?"
Liu Xie snorted: "You take me away, okay? Go to Hebei, Wang Situ said that Yuan Ben's heart is to me, you send me to Hebei, high-ranking officials are generous, I will not be stingy!"
Zhao Yu shook his head again and again: "Is this how Wang Zishi lied to you?"
"Liar?"
Zhao Yu said: "The Han family has lost the hearts of the people, and the princes of the world don't want to replace it." That Yuan Ben was powerful at the beginning, and now he is the most likely person to replace the Liu family and rule the world, Your Majesty, you say, will he have his heart to His Majesty?"
"No... No way!"
Liu Xie took a step back and hurriedly asked, "Then Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou is Uncle Emperor I, can you send me to Jingzhou?"
Zhao Yu said: "Liu Jingsheng's dog guarding the household, how dare he take on His Majesty's big trouble? If Your Majesty goes, at most he will be sent back by him, that's all." ”
"Uncle Huang can't count on it..."Liu Xie lost his soul.
The immature face of the noble man on the side showed a look of unbearability, but he made a gesture to Zhao Yu: "Please teach Your Majesty, sir!"
Zhao Yu shook his head: "I can't go back to the sky." Your Majesty has the position of the Son of Heaven, but he does not have the ability of the Son of Heaven, to put it mildly, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, Your Majesty may probably do its best. But now there is a great time to fight and turmoil, with the power of Your Majesty..."
He shook his head.
"Then I should... What should I do?"
"The so-called people know themselves. Zhao Yu said: "Your Majesty believes in his identity as the Son of Heaven, and he has obviously gone through hardships, but he does not have a long memory. In my opinion, the best outcome for Your Majesty is to be a rich man. Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable. ”
"Rich man, no, no, no, I am the Son of Heaven, and I inherit the destiny of Heaven, how can I be like this?!"
Liu Xie suddenly became excited, dancing with his hands and feet, and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu knew that this kid was probably stunned. He didn't say anything more, but said, "I came to see the Son of Heaven because of one thing, and I was curious and wanted to ask Your Majesty. ”
But seeing Liu Xie's angry appearance, Zhao Yu asked the future Queen Fu, the current Fu noble, and said, "The noble person should know something." I heard that the prince conspired to punish Dong Zhuo, using a beauty trick, and it is rumored that there is a peerless beauty named Diao Chan, who is torn between tigers and wolves, and only then did he separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, so that the prince division was successful. It is also said that Diao Chan is the righteous daughter of the prince's division. Punishing Dong Zhuo is not a trivial matter, and the prince must not be able to bypass His Majesty. Such a beauty, who is full of country and city, and has wisdom, really makes my heart yearn, Your Majesty and the nobles are willing to solve my doubts?"
In the end, Zhao Yu returned disappointed.
Sure enough, in real time and space, there is no peerless beauty named Diao Chan.
Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo have long had conflicts, Dong Zhuo has a short temper, and when he was angry, he almost killed Lu Bu several times. And Lu Bu is an unruly guy, how can he not hold a grudge? Moreover, Lu Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's concubine, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would kill him after Dong Zhuo found out. So as soon as Wang Yun said that he wanted to punish Dong Zhuo and promised to be a high-ranking official, Lu Bu was immediately moved.
Of course, this is all superficial stuff.
The real reason is because Dong Zhuo was greedy for pleasure after moving the capital, and gradually lost control of the imperial court. Otherwise, how could the small actions of Wang Yun and others be executed so easily?
Dong Zhuo is not a simple character.
Not only is it brutal and ferocious, but its wisdom cannot be ignored.
It is rumored in wild history that Dong Zhuo has a son-in-law Li Ru and the like to plan for him, but in real history, although Li Ru exists, he is by no means Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, let alone Dong Zhuo's mastermind. Li Ru was not a person who started with Dong Zhuo at all, but a minor official in the imperial court, and probably took refuge in Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. His name remained in Qingshi because he was ordered by Dong Zhuo to kill the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother. That's all.
As for Jia Xu, under Dong Zhuo, he has not made a name for himself at all, perhaps because he is unwilling to make a name for himself. is a small official, I am afraid it is difficult to even see Dong Zhuo.
