Chapter 546: Why did Zhen Mi marry Yuan Xi?
Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi with some surprise, and sighed in his heart, she was worthy of being the first queen of Cao Wei, her reflexes were really fast.
Is Zhen Mi stupid? Can’t she see the form clearly?
No, she saw clearly, she had already guessed what Liu Xie was thinking.
Liu Xie asked Zhen Yao, did he really want to kill him?
No, what Liu Xie said was just to suppress him, make him lose his mind, and then take the opportunity to conquer him.
Liu Xie is not a murderer. He does not want to kill those who are not a big threat.
Yuan Xi was like this because of his character, which made him not want to fight. However, Liu Xie needed Yuan Xi's identity, so he encouraged Yuan Xi to fight and let him manage Jizhou.
As long as Yuan Xi can do something in Jizhou and surprise Yuan Shao, then Yuan Xi will turn his heart to Liu Xie.
Because it was Liu Xie who gave him the opportunity to prove himself. As long as Liu Xie didn't kill Yuan Shao in the end, then Yuan Xi would look after Jizhou for Liu Xie.
The same is true for Zhen Yao. He only provided food and grass to Yuan Shao. Since he didn't even want to kill Yuan Shao, why did he kill Zhen Yao?
Therefore, Liu Xie had no intention of killing Zhen Yao's family from the beginning.
From the beginning, Liu Xie just wanted to coerce Zhen Yao and let the Zhen family do things for him.
As for what to do, let the Zhen family hand over their land, slaves, and recognize business taxes.
And what about Zhen Mi? She could see at a glance that Liu Xie was not willing to kill anyone, so she stood up and said those words.
The reason why she did this was, on the one hand, to completely block the possibility of Liu Xie killing someone with her words, and on the other hand, she wanted to use this to negotiate with Liu Xie.
"Interesting." Liu Xie thought to himself.
Faced with the aggressiveness of the courtiers, sweat dripped from Zhen Mi's forehead, while Liu Xie was watching the show. He wanted to see how long Zhen Mi could last.
At this time, in the court hall, hundreds of officials came forward to advise, hoping that Liu Xie would issue an order to kill the Zhen family.
Similarly, within the Zhen family, although Zhen Mi's sisters didn't say anything, their eyes looking at Zhen Mi were full of doubts.
Based on the understanding between the five sisters, they knew that their second sister Zhen Mi was not a reckless person.
Since she was able to question Liu Xie in front of hundreds of officials today, she must have had her intentions.
They believed that Zhen Mi would not deliberately seek death and provoke Liu Xie.
But Zhen Yao didn't think so. He looked at Zhen Mi with some resentment. He felt that Zhen Mi was too talkative.
Although he was in a state of embarrassment just now, and although Liu Xie seemed to have murderous intentions towards him, he did not feel that Liu Xie really had the intention of killing him.
Zhen Yao could clearly feel that Liu Xie wanted to scare him at most. As long as he dealt with it well, his life would never be in danger. At most, he would hand over some family property.
Zhen Yao even thought that he could hand over half of his family property in exchange for a chance for his family to survive.
As the saying goes, money is something external to one's body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. If you can buy your life with money, it's very worthwhile.
Moreover, even if the Zhen family only retains half of their property, their family can still live a very good life.
But now, after Zhen Mi made such a fuss, if Liu Xie didn't kill a few people, would he be worthy of being the emperor?
After all, sometimes the emperor's majesty cannot be challenged.
Liu Xie saw Zhen Mi swaying a little under the scolding of the officials, and Liu Xie knew that the time was almost up.
He slowly raised his right hand, and then pressed it down. The officials suddenly stopped talking, and the entire hall fell into silence.
"Are you Zhen Mi? I heard that when you were a child, an expert told your fortune and said you had the destiny of an emperor and empress?" Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi with some amusement.
When Zhen Mi heard Liu Xie's words, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and she was stunned.
The saying that one has the fate of an emperor and an empress is only rumored in Jizhou. Logically speaking, it would never reach Luoyang.
So how did the emperor know? Did Lu Bu and the others tell Liu Xie on purpose?
But now how Liu Xie knows is not important, what is important is how to pass this level.
As an emperor, he can forgive almost all the sins of his subjects, but he will never forgive his own subjects and call himself emperor.
Take Yuan Shu for example. When he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, Liu Xie immediately sent a large army to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was wiped out in just a few months.
But now that he has the fate of an emperor and empress, this matter seems to be more serious than Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor.
Because Yuan Shu did not have the emperor's destiny, but he forcibly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. As a result, he died. But he was destined to be like this.
It can be said that God made me the queen, which is fundamentally different from Yuan Shu.
Moreover, it was calculated that he had the destiny of an emperor and empress, but he did not take the initiative to report it to the court. Instead, he waited for a price and finally got engaged to Yuan Xi.
Isn't this a proper contempt for the imperial court? Doesn't the imperial court take it to heart?
Therefore, when Liu Xie opened his mouth, Zhen Mi panicked. She didn't know how to answer Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged. These are all made up by those quacks and magicians for money. Your Majesty cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted!" Zhen Yao said loudly while kowtowing to Liu Xie.
"Oh, according to you, everything I heard is false? I don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. All my officials are mediocre people and can only convey some false information to me?" Liu Xie was a little curious.
looked at Zhen Yao.
"Uh..." When Zhen Yao heard Liu Xie's words, he didn't know how to answer them.
You think so, if you offend the emperor and all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the result will be death.
If you say no, then you have confirmed that the Zhen family did not report the knowledge and had the intention to rebel, or the kind of rebellion that is dictated by destiny.
If this is the case, the Zhen family will not be able to escape death either.
At this time, from Zhen Yao's point of view, it seemed that the Zhen family had reached a dead end, and it meant death anyway.
Seeing Zhen Yao's expression of death, Liu Xie found it even more interesting.
"Zhen Mi, I'm a little curious. Let's not talk about other things. I actually really want to know why you agreed to marry Yuan Xi since you know that you have the destiny of being an emperor and empress?"
"Do you think Yuan Xi will become the emperor? If Yuan Xi cannot be the emperor, how can you be the empress?"
Liu Xie looked curious. He really wanted to know this. After all, in history, Zhen Mi married Yuan Xi first.
Later, Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, Yuan Xi fled, and finally died at the hands of Boss Cao.
After Boss Cao knew that Zhen Mi was destined to be an emperor, he gave Zhen Mi to his eldest son Cao Pi.
This means that when Zhen Mi followed Cao Pi, she was married for the second time.
So how could such a proud and arrogant Zhen Mi agree to marry the cowardly Yuan Xi?
Is there any secret in this that I don’t know about?
Liu Xie was very curious, so he asked in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
