Long Fei's wedding was held on the same day that the government moved from Wancheng to Xiangyang. Xiangyang was much larger than Wancheng, and people gathered on both sides of the street. The appearance of four beautiful ladies like flowers and jade made those
The young talents were envious. Just like in Wancheng, Long Fei's wedding was also held during the day. Various etiquettes were based on the Wancheng model, allowing the people of Xiangyang to experience it.
This time, the witness of the marriage turned out to be the current emperor Liu Xie. This kind of honoring the ancestors is rare in the world. When seeing the emperor, the people did not kneel down, which made Liu Xie very uncomfortable. Standing on the stage, all the limelight was lost to Long
Fei and his beautiful bride were snatched away, and Liu Xie felt even more uncomfortable. Thinking about how since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the emperor had been as cowardly as himself, even a coward like his father could tell the truth.
Liu Xie understood that although he was better off now than under Dong Zhuo, he was still a puppet, a puppet played by Long Fei. In this situation, he did not dare to mess around, so he could only swallow the bitterness and pretend to be
Laughter.
Fu Wan, the abbot of the state, is the only surviving elder from three dynasties in the court. He seldom interacts with people on weekdays, which is why he still stands in the court hall until now. Looking at Liu Xie like a singing girl accompanying him, Fu Wan
Wan Wan also had a worried look on his face. While Liu Xie was going to the toilet, Wan Wan lay down at Liu Xie's feet in the toilet and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is so incompetent that your Majesty has suffered such a shame and humiliation!"
When Liu Xie heard this, his tears immediately flowed down. After helping him up and down, he sighed: "There is only one loyal minister in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, the Zhang! It's a pity that my great ancestor's country was destroyed in my hands. How will he face the Lieutenants after his death?"
Ancestors."
The emperor and his ministers just held each other's hands and cried in the toilet, not daring to be too loud, and they had to always be wary of anyone suddenly breaking in. After crying for a long time, until the eunuch spoke outside, the emperor and his ministers comforted each other for a while.
After saying a few words, he hurriedly wiped his tears, came out one after another with smiles on his face, and took his seat again. Liu Xie was as always, he might be getting old after Fu Wan, and his mood was still difficult to calm down.
Long Fei's wedding lasted for a whole day. In addition to the big and small officials in Jingzhou, Sun Quan sent Yu Fan and Shi Hui sent officials to congratulate. Even Cao Cao, who was far away in Hebei, sent people to send congratulatory gifts. They seemed to be in harmony with each other.
Harmony and beauty.
Returning to the palace, Liu Xie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Because of Fu's performance today, Liu Xie came to Queen Fu's palace to rest. Queen Fu stood up and looked at Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, why are you so restless?"
"Hey!" Liu Xie sighed softly: "Today I truly understand what it means that a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken! Long Fei wants to imprison me here and be his doll forever! Your father is the only veteran official in the court.
You can be called loyal, and everyone else is Long Fei's minions."
"Your Majesty!" Queen Fu was smart as ice and snow. She felt uncomfortable after hearing Liu Xie's words. She suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you call my father into the palace to discuss it? If you can escape from your Majesty, maybe there will be loyal ministers and righteous people in the world!
"
Liu Xie got up quickly. In the dark room, no one could see anyone else. He could only hear the other person's breathing and feel the other person's body temperature. Liu Xie hugged Empress Fu into his arms and said, "My beloved concubine is really smart as ice and snow."
, the abbot is a veteran of three dynasties, so he naturally knows who among the princes in the world is loyal to me, come here! Come here!"
Empress Fu hurriedly covered Liu Xie's mouth: "Your Majesty, be silent. There are all Long Fei's minions in this palace. If Your Majesty sends someone blatantly, Long Fei might notice it. It would be better to find a way to smuggle my father in tomorrow."
!”
Liu Xie nodded: "What my concubine said is true!"
At dawn, the carriage transporting water to the palace slowly came in from the corner door. Originally, Long Fei wanted to divert the water from the Zhejiang River to the palace, but Jia Xu suggested not to do so. If there is any abnormality here, the water source problem can be controlled. People do not
You can eat, but you can't survive without drinking water for a few days. There is a large wooden barrel on the water carriage. There are two people in the carriage, a driver and a eunuch escorting the carriage. The two of them hurriedly walked through the whole place.
Imperial City didn’t say a word to anyone.
When he came to a secluded place, the young eunuch looked around and saw that there was no one around. He quickly climbed onto the waterwheel, opened the lid of the barrel, and was covered in water, gasping for air. The young eunuch said:
"Zhang Guozhang, it's not easy to stay here for a long time. Come out quickly and follow me!"
Fu Wan nodded and climbed out of the bucket with the help of the two people. The young eunuch led the way. Fu Wan followed closely behind and walked around the palace. When he came to a deserted place to the north of the palace, the young eunuch took a look.
Already out of breath, he finished his work and said: "Abbott, please wait a moment. I will report to Your Majesty immediately!"
This is the Cold Palace built here. Liu Xie only has three or four concubines now. The Cold Palace has been deserted since no one came to live in it. The weeds as tall as a person have become a paradise for various animals. If you don't pay attention, hares will pounce on them until they reach their feet.
Next, he lowered his head and licked the water droplets dripping from Fu Wan's body. Fu Wan sighed slightly, grabbed the corner of his clothes and twisted it hard, and a water line fell to the ground like a broken bead: "Drink! Help!
Your life counts as a fate between you and me."
Liu Xie was in one of the inconspicuous palaces, with his queen sitting next to him. Fu Wan came through the door and hurriedly turned over and knelt down to the emperor and the queen to salute. Liu Xie helped Fu Wan up and looked at
After lying down and feeling wet all over, Liu Xie wiped away his tears and said, "The abbot is suffering! I had no choice but to make this decision. Come on! Find some clothes for the abbot!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Wan waved his hand hurriedly: "Your Majesty, let's talk less and talk less. We don't have much time. I hope Your Majesty will get to the point quickly!"
Empress Fu bowed to Fu Wanyingying and said, "Father, Your Majesty has been imprisoned for a long time. Long Fei is going to put Your Majesty under house arrest. My father is a veteran of three dynasties. Can you please contact the princes to destroy Long Fei together? His merits are the highest in the world."
one."
"I will repay Your Majesty's kindness with all my heart and soul!" Fu Wan knelt down on the ground. Liu Xie took out a piece of silk from his arms. The bright red mark showed that it was written with blood. Fu Wan stretched out his hands to catch it.
He hugged him to his chest and cried loudly. Liu Xie hugged him and said, "Everything depends on the abbot. The country's empire and my life all depend on the abbot!"
Fu Wan stayed in the palace for a whole day with the blood edict in his arms. During this period, many soldiers passed by Fu Wan's hiding place. Fu Wan was so frightened that Fu Wan's legs became weak. It wasn't until the next day that the rooster crowed three times and the young eunuch found Fu Wan again.
After that, he hid it in the bucket again before sending it out of the palace. After returning home, Fu Wan unfolded Liu Xie's letters. Every time he read them, new feelings came to his heart. The eldest son Fu De saw his father staying in the study all day.
I didn't eat or sleep. I was quite surprised, so I knocked on the door and came in.
Fu Wan sighed softly: "My son is here!" He hurriedly put away the bloody edict on the case.
Fu De had already seen it: "Father, is this your Majesty's blood edict?"
"Hey!" Fu Wan saw that his son had seen through it, so he no longer concealed it and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty was bullied by Long Fei. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how can I just sit idly by and do nothing? Your Majesty has issued a bloody edict, asking me to unite all the princes.
Fighting the dragon together, I have been thinking about it for a long time and don’t know what to do for my father?”
"Don't think about it. The only one among the princes in the world who can compete with Long Fei is Cao Cao!" Fu De said: "Cao Cao has just pacified the four states in Hebei, forced Yuan Shao to death, trapped and killed the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, and shocked Hebei.
, Yuan Shao’s troops and horses all belong to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao’s troops and horses are strong enough to compete with Long Fei!”
"But Cao Cao and Long Fei are sons and daughters. Will Cao Cao really attack Long Fei?" Fu Wan shook his head: "If you want to find them, you have to find reliable people. The royal clan Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, the Han Dynasty official Anhan General Sun Quan, these
After all are loyal ministers, they also have strong soldiers and horses. If they are allowed to serve the king, they will do their best to the death!"
"Father is confused!" Fu De looked at Fu Wan: "Father, does he know how many troops Long Fei has now? I roughly estimate that the 200,000 troops are only a lot more. Liu Zhang is just a thief guarding the land, and Sun Quan, a timid person, will definitely
If you sit back and do nothing, you may even hand over His Majesty's bloody edict to Long Fei! Only Cao Cao has strong soldiers and horses. If he leads a large army to kill, Long Fei will be in real danger."
"If Cao Cao refuses, wouldn't we..."
Fu De said: "Leave this matter to your child. We will definitely handle the matter and let Cao Cao send troops to serve the king!"
Fu Wan was hesitant. This matter was of great importance, and he would be in trouble if he was not careful. Originally, he only planned to show his loyalty in front of the emperor, so that his daughter would be more favored by Liu Xie, and the Fu family's glory could continue.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie would rely on him and throw himself a hot potato. Fu Wan looked at the blood edict and said after a long time: "De'er, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of people in our Fu family. You must be careful.
As long as the blood edict is given to Cao Cao, no matter whether he is willing to send troops or not, there is no need to force him, and he must be careful not to let anyone know about the blood edict!"
"What does this mean?" Fu De looked at Fu Wan in surprise: "My Fu family is deeply favored by the emperor, and being loyal to His Majesty is a matter of honor for our ancestors. Why did my father say this?"
Fu Wan looked at his idiot son and felt something in his heart: "Damn it, is it more important for the lives of the whole family and the children, or to be loyal to this fallen man? As the eldest son and the future head of the family, how could you not care about the whole family?
Do you want the Fu family to be wiped out?"
"Father!" Fu De was still about to speak. Fu De turned his face away and turned his back to him: "Just do what I say! I don't want to listen to your opinion now! You will go to Yecheng immediately tomorrow morning and will
Just give the blood edict to Cao Cao, don't say a word about anything else, go ahead!" Fu De was a little discouraged, silently agreed, and left the door.
Fu De sneaked out of the back door while it was still dark. He was wearing a huge cloak and a big bamboo hat. He didn't dare to use his own carriage, so he hired a carriage to wait at the entrance of the alley. Fu De walked out.
He quickly got into the car. Before he reached the intersection, a large group of soldiers cheered and surrounded the car. The carriage suddenly stopped, and Fu De almost fell down in the car.
Mi Fang lifted the car curtain, stuck her head in, looked at Fu De and laughed: "Uncle Guo, where are you going so early?"
Fu De was shocked and reached out his hand to cover his chest. He realized that this action was inappropriate and quickly put his hand down again. Mi Fang saw clearly and said, "Come down? I have been ordered to wait here for a long time."
It’s time, let us see what His Majesty’s blood edict looks like!”
