Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, his face turned red and white.
She followed the emperor for a long time and knew his temper.
He seems easy-going, but in fact he is very cunning. He doesn't speak much in this stern tone, but it's a big deal every time.
"Your Majesty, I..." Cai Yan wanted to tell the truth about the matter, but when he said that, he swallowed it back.
How can you say this?
Seeing that Cai Yan was embarrassed and unable to deal with it, Liu Xie sighed and slowed down his tone.
"Did Pei Mao beg you?"
Cai Yan was stunned. "Pei...Pei Mao?" She then suddenly realized and shook her head quickly and said, "Pei Mao has never made any requests. Even if there is, I will not cover him."
She then asked back, "Your Majesty, do you doubt the Secretary of the Republic?"
Liu Xie was a little embarrassed.
It is indeed not appropriate to be a guest at someone's house but doubt the owner's intentions.
To be careful, Pei Mao did not express anything clearly, everything was his conjecture.
Maybe it's not the case at all.
Liu Xie thought about it and sighed. "I don't know who else can trust now."
Cai Yan looked at Liu Xie sympathetically and sighed. "Your Majesty, you are alone, you are not a false statement. This is the case with the supreme people in the world. Even if there are thousands of people around you, there may not be one person who is in the same heart."
Liu Xie was deeply moved.
He was just an explanation, but he didn't expect that Cai Yan's words would be too appropriate all of a sudden.
This is exactly what he feels at this moment, heartbreaking.
Seeing that Liu Xie looked lonely, Cai Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It was too direct and did not consider the emperor's state of mind.
No matter what, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy after all. If it weren't for the emperor, he should have studied and played with his brothers and sisters at this moment, just like the Pei Jun brothers.
But he was the emperor. He was promoted to the throne by Dong Zhuo, at the cost of his brother being deposed, poisoned and killed, and his sister being killed. No one around him was familiar with anyone except his sister-in-law.
His experience in the past few years is even more tragic than his own loss in the Xiliang army.
She still remembers the feeling when she heard her father being killed by Wang Yun. It was a kind of pain and despair that penetrated her bones. It had made her lose hope for survival, and she was completely desperate and wanted to die.
At that time, she was already an adult and had seen the hardships of the world.
"Your Majesty..." Cai Yan said softly: "Although that is the case, there may not be only intrigue between the monarch and his ministers. Although the ministers and ministers in the court often have differences with Your Majesty, they protect Your Majesty's heart, and the world can be seen. It is the Queen and Hongnong
Mrs. Wang, she always cares about Your Majesty..."
Cai Yan pursed her lips and swallowed the words behind her back.
Liu Xie was still immersed in his own sadness. After hearing Cai Yan's words to expel the ministers, he felt even more harsh.
"The ministers and ministers may have the heart to protect themselves, but they are the Han Dynasty, and they may not be me. If I am ruled with mercy, they will naturally be loyal. If I don't listen to them, I will not be able to treat them as Jie and Zhou."
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Liu Xie was speaking fiercely, Cai Yan hurriedly reminded him.
Liu Xie also realized that he was too explicit and it was not appropriate to spread it, so he quickly shut up.
He was silent for a moment. "Don't remember the words just now."
"Yes." Cai Yan nodded and agreed.
These words cannot be remembered, otherwise they will inevitably cause an uproar. The old ministers don’t know what disappointment will be like.
Liu Xie was upset and didn't know what to say to Cai Yan for a while, and he was not in the mood to study.
He waved his hand and signaled Cai Yan to retreat.
Cai Yan bowed and retreated. He went out, patted his heart, and secretly thanked that he had escaped another day.
She raised her head and looked at the dark night sky. She remembered that today was the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jian'an, and couldn't help but sigh again.
The emperor is so pitiful.
Liu Xie asked the doctor to get hot water and wash, especially soaking his feet for a while before he got on the bed.
Lying in the bed, he still couldn't sleep, and he always recalled Cai Yan's words "Lonely Man".
He is called a lonely person and a widow, and he is now as lonely as he is.
Looking around, you can see the enemy.
There are always unruly people who want to harm me. Maybe it’s just a joke, but the emperor cannot do whatever he wants, which is a very skinny reality.
A small Hedong area, Wei Gu and Fan Xian, who were unknown to the world, originally thought they were able to pinch the snails with three fingers, but unexpectedly they cooked them into a rice cooked with rice.
If it were Ruying, what would be the result?
No wonder Cao Cao was so embarrassed that he almost pushed himself into a desperate situation after killing Bian Rang.
First of all, he did not insist on killing the Hedong clan. Even though he knew it was a piece of raw rice, he had to swallow it with his teeth.
It is better to eat badly than to starve to death. When you have the strength in your hands, come back and plow again.
Without strength, everything is empty talk.
Only with strength can ideals be promoted.
Before this, let Xun Yu and Liu Ba go and see what kind of kingly path they can achieve.
When they hit the wall, they even hit their heads and blood, and they might be able to wake up.
As stubborn as Yang Biao, he hasn't been touched recently, so he actually started the lecture at the General Camp later.
As for Pei Mao and his son, they are even more proactive and suspicious.
Liu Xie comforted himself and fell asleep in a daze.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the west bank of the Fen River, the mouth of Baibo Valley.
Li Le, Han Xian and others were wearing new clothes and stood on a high place, looking at the distance from time to time.
Baibo Valley refers to a tributary valley on the west bank of the Fen River. It is not very long, it is only three or four miles in total. The source comes from the eastern slope of the Luliang Mountains on the west side, with winding and detours and ravines.
No one can lead the way, and may even get lost.
The Bai Bo army was able to maintain this place for many years, which was related to its unique terrain.
If you really can't beat it, you can still escape to the mountains.
It is easy to defeat them, but it is not realistic to eradicate them.
Of course, the good thing of drinking a large bowl of wine and eating meat is not there. The limited water source in the river valley can only irrigate limited land and produce grain that can barely make a living. As for salt, iron and other materials, they still need to find a way to go
Change, go buy it.
Or grab it.
Bai Bo's army joined forces with the Huns several times to plunder Hedong and Taiyuan in order to solve the material problems.
They dare not think about occupying Hedong and Taiyuan, and they are the masters of their own country.
The most strategic and ambitious action of the Baibo army was to enter Hanoi and Dongjun, trying to meet with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were defeated by Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan one after another, and suffered heavy losses. The Baibo army was alone and could not resign, so they could only retreat to Baibo Valley and continue to live.
.
Now that the Yellow Turban has declined, this is something that anyone with a little brain knows.
So Yang Feng sent back the message that when the emperor intended to plead them, they were in the same way and could not get it.
"Oh, what kind of person do you think the emperor would be?" Li Le spitted and spitted out the loess in his mouth.
"It should be a master." Hu Cai laughed twice. "With Yang Feng's temper, if he was not a master, could he be so obedient?"
"I think so too." Han Xian laughed. "It should be a powerful general who is eight feet tall and born with divine power. He can slap Yang Feng and get over, otherwise how could he cut off Li Jue's head?
If you are in the middle, you can't take the general's head, even Lu Bu can't do it."
