Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others had known that Liu Xin had infinite power, so they were not surprised when they saw this scene. However, Han Song and Kuai Liang had never seen Liu Xin show any skills before, and they did not expect that he could be so powerful when he was so angry that they were scared to the point of shaking their legs.
Liu Bian was killed by Dong Zhuo in history. Liu Xin knew this very well, but he didn't know when Liu Bian died. He only thought that it was because he went to pick up their mother and son that he provoked
Dong Zhuo killed Liu Bian so quickly. In this case, he had harmed him, so Liu Xin was so angry.
After a long time, Liu Xin suppressed her anger. After looking at the people in the hall, Liu Xin's mood had calmed down a lot, and she said: "It's okay for Liu Xie to collude with Dong Zhuo to seize the throne, but he also wants to kill his own brother, right?
It is unbearable. How can such a person be worthy of being the master of the world? How can he be counted as a descendant of the Liu family? If I don’t get rid of Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo, how can I face my ancestors?"
Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Lord, please calm down. This incident must have been caused by Dong Zhuo, the evil thief. The emperor is just a seven or eight-year-old child. What does he know? These things should have nothing to do with him."
After hearing Liu Xin's words, Ju Shou and Tian Feng were secretly happy. As long as Liu Xin did not recognize Liu Xie as the emperor and Liu Bian was dead, things would be much easier to handle in the future. Seeing Kuai Liang's words to stop him, Tian Feng
He also leaned forward and said: "My lord, what Mr. Zirou said is wrong! Liu Xie is the emperor, Dong Zhuo is a minister, and it's not like there are no other ministers in the court. Without Liu Xie's connivance, Dong Zhuo'an would dare to do whatever he wants!"
Han Song quickly said: "I heard from Dong Zhuo that King Hongnong died of illness. Presumably, it had nothing to do with the current emperor. In fact, it was the fate of God. Please forgive me, my lord."
At this moment, Zhao Yun walked in, looked at Han Song coldly, raised his hands and said: "Han Song has taken refuge with Dong Zhuo and betrayed my lord. Please punish me severely!"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Han Song broke out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "Before I left, I made it clear to my lord that as long as the emperor sends orders, I will obey him. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to serve my lord in the future.
.My lord has sent me, and I have done my best. Please don’t break your promise.”
Liu Xin was not the Liu Biao in history who only knew how to sit and talk. The reason why he sent Han Song was because he knew that Han Song was a man who knew current affairs and would not stand up to Dong Zhuo, which could avoid unnecessary sacrifices. If he sent Jushou or Tian
Feng Go, maybe what is being sent back now is their heads, so this situation has been expected by him. But when he first heard the news of Liu Bian's death, Liu Xin had not fully recovered from his anger, and his face
Still sullen, but his tone softened, he waved his hand and said, "De Gao, let me ask you, what official position did Dong Zhuo promise you?"
Han Song leaned forward and said, "Returning to my lord, Dong Zhuo appointed his subordinates as servants and governor of Nanyang. Forced by the situation, I have no choice but to agree."
As soon as he said this, Ju Shu, Tian Feng, Kuai Liang, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Xu Chu all looked at him with contempt in their eyes.
But I heard Liu Xin say: "De Gao, would you like to be the governor of Nanyang? Or continue to be your governor of Nanjun?"
Only then did Han Song realize that Dong Zhuo's malice was clearly visible on his face, but Liu Xin could give people a sense of calmness and self-power. He suddenly lost the calmness he had just now, became a little frightened, and fell to his knees with a "plop"
, said: "My subordinate is willing to continue to serve as the governor of Nanjun, and agreeing to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang is just an expedient measure. Please be aware of it, my lord!"
Liu Xin understood that in the area under his jurisdiction, the prefect was no longer a great official position. Various systems and policies had severely restricted the power of the prefect. Therefore, whether Han Song served as the prefect of Nanjun or the prefect of Nanyang, he
It was the same, so he said: "De Gao, get up. Since Dong Zhuo asked you to be the governor of Nanyang, you should go to Nanyang. Remember, do your job well and don't think too much about other things."
Han Song then climbed up tremblingly and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go find Zhicai and he will arrange everything."
Looking at Han Song's leaving figure, Zhao Yun said bitterly: "Master, why don't you kill him?"
Liu Xin looked at everyone, laughed, and said: "I had expected this, so why should I blame him? As for how the young emperor died, the Queen Mother He is already here. I will know later when I ask.
"
Everyone cupped their hands and said, "My lord, you are holy."
Liu Xin's face suddenly darkened and she said: "However, I will not admit Liu Xie as the emperor! Even if he is not at fault, he has become a puppet under Dong Zhuo's control. Doesn't it mean that apart from Liu Xie, there is no one else in our Liu family?"
We're here! You all prepare separately, I'm going to raise an army to attack Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo, and establish another Mingjun!"
Seeing that Liu Xin had made up her mind, everyone resigned, feeling both happy and worried. Jushou and Tian Feng saw that things were indeed developing in the direction indicated by the golden-armored god, and they were extremely happy. What else did Zhao Yun want to say to Liu Xin?
, but they had already been stopped by Ju Shou and Tian Feng. They wanted to go to Xu Huang and discuss important matters together.
But Kuai Liang was worried. The war was going on, people were in ruins, and he didn't know how many people would be destroyed. How did he know that even if Liu Xin couldn't afford the army, in the spring of next year, the princes from various towns would raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Luoyang was burned down by a fire.
Everything was done. Liu Xin originally wanted to wait until he received He Jin's message, then rush to Beijing to control the situation before Dong Zhuo, and even bribe Lu Bu for his own use, but it failed. He now has a second step plan.
, that is, participating in the war of heroes against Dong Zhuo and doing their best to ensure that the ancient city of Luoyang was destroyed by the war.
Now that Queen Mother He has really been taken to Xiangyang, Liu Xin couldn't help but murmur in her heart, what etiquette should she use to see her? How to arrange for her in the future? If Liu Bian was also taken over, then things would be fine.
If he did too much, Liu Xin could even make Liu Bian the emperor again, as Ju Shou proposed, support their mother and son, build a palace for them in Xiangyang, and use it to hijack the emperor and order the princes. Who knows that man is not as good as heaven?
After all, Liu Bian is already dead. In this feudal era with strict ethics, two women of such status are really two hot potatoes in his hands.
Even so, the etiquette cannot be discarded, so Liu Xin decided to meet the Queen Mother He first before making any plans. In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Xin waited until Ma Yun came back from the academy, and then the couple went to the room where He Lian temporarily lived.
Side hall.
Since He Lian and Tang Xian left Luoyang, they didn't even have a maid to serve them, so they came to Xiangyang miserably. When they arrived at the Prefecture Mufu, the two of them were arranged in this side hall, with relatives outside the door.
Guards were guarding it, and after waiting for a long time, no one came to ask. Although this side hall is not as luxurious as the palace, it is fully furnished, but it looks a little weird. Chairs are very rare in the capital, but He Lian knows them.
After Liu Hong's death, Zhang Rang was afraid that He Jin would harm him and asked He Lian to intercede for her. In fact, the chair Zhang Rang gave to He Lian was originally sent to the capital from Hejian by Liu Xin. He Lian
I feel that this kind of furniture is very comfortable to sit on, which is exaggerating to make me filial. I didn't expect to see chairs in Xiangyang. Things have changed in the world, and in the blink of an eye, I have fallen into this situation. Seeing things hurts me, and He Lian has burst into tears without knowing it.
.
Seeing Liu Xin, Ma Yun walked in, and the guards guarding the door saluted together: "See you, my lord! See you, my lady!"
Liu Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "You all stand down."
All the guards agreed in unison and retreated.
When He Lian and Tang Xian heard the movement outside the door, they began to get scared. It could be said that the two of them walked in front of the Palace of Hell, and their desire to survive became even stronger. How miserable women are in troubled times, they are more miserable than
Others felt even more profoundly. Dong Zhuo would send soldiers into the palace every day to select palace maidens, and even the Yong'an Palace where they lived was not spared. These soldiers were all extremely cowardly. Although they did not dare to act openly in the palace, they were still picky.
Touching is always unavoidable, and some people even hugged the palace maid and kissed him in front of He Lian's mother and son. If Li Ru hadn't dissuaded her, even the Queen Mother He herself was almost sent to Dong Zhuo's bed. And the two of them were almost killed by Li Ru.
When Ru poured the poisoned wine, the soldiers never stopped moving on them. They were so humiliated and humiliated that they had never experienced before, and they were often awakened by nightmares.
The scene when leaving Luoyang appeared again in He Lian's mind.
In Yong'an Palace, He Lian and Tang Xian, who had just escaped from the hands of death, were both kneeling on the ground. Li Ru was walking up and down in front of them with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Do you know what decision the Prime Minister has made?"
Before they could answer, Li Ru continued: "The Prime Minister has decided to send you to Jingzhou Mu Liu Xin. Liu Xin is a lustful person, I believe you have all heard of it. However, he also has a special hobby, you know
What is it?"
He Lian and Tang Xian both trembled and shook their heads, not daring to speak.
Li Ru's voice suddenly increased: "He likes to eat human flesh!"
He Lian and Tang Xian both raised their heads in surprise.
Li Ru said proudly: "Liu Xin was tired of eating ordinary people's meat. She wanted to taste the difference between the taste of the meat of the Queen Mother and the Princess, so she proposed to the Prime Minister to pick you two up. This secret
Normally I wouldn't tell him."
He Lian and Tang Xian both turned pale, hugged each other tightly, and begged in unison: "Master Li, just be good and don't hand us over to him."
Seeing that his first step goal had been achieved, Li Ru said again: "How can you regret what the Prime Minister has promised? I feel sorry for you, so I will tell you the news in advance. However, it is not impossible. Now I have to think about it.
To survive, you can only rely on your beauty to please him. Either sleep with Liu Xin, or be a delicacy on his plate, which one you choose is up to you."
Along the way, He Lian regretted why she didn't drink the poisonous wine. She was not an ordinary woman. She was the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty with a distinguished status. But now she was asked to give her body to a strange man and call her
How embarrassing. But sometimes people are very strange. After escaping from death, the desire to survive becomes even stronger.
At this time, Liu Xin had opened the door and saw two women hugging each other and shivering in the room. Liu Xin bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Xin, the Shepherd of Jingzhou, is here to see the Queen Mother."
He Lian and Tang Xian both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Liu Xin and Ma Yun took a few steps forward, but still couldn't see their faces clearly. Liu Xin had no choice but to say again: "Your Majesty, Liu Xin, is here to see the Queen Mother."
He Lian still didn't dare to raise her head, but she said tremblingly: "Please, please don't eat us, we are willing to sleep with you, please..."
