"Absurd! Ridiculous! It's contrary... I think his white picture is contrary! What a great sage, he is a traitor and a rebel! Where is Hua Xin? Proclaim Hua Xin... No, bring him to see me!" Liu Xie
In the hastily restored front hall of Weiyang Palace, he angrily tore up Bai Tu's documents.
Fortunately, the copy given to him was originally a transcribed version, so it did not affect others. They could see what Liu Xie was angry about.
At this time, there were only seven or eight people in the front hall, and they were not in a large court meeting.
In addition to Liu Ai, Dong Cheng, and Zhong Ji, Liu Xie's confidants, there are also Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and other foreign ministers who assisted the Han...
Liu Bei really wanted to be included in the other group, but he could feel alienated.
As for Ma Teng, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng... they represent the warlords of the New Xiliang Clan and the Yellow Turban Clan, and they all now assist the Han Dynasty, which makes the front hall of Weiyang Palace very lively every day.
After all, He Jin died only more than ten years ago. Obviously, everyone will not forget that the powerful general was tricked into the palace and hacked to death by Shi Chang.
Every time Ma Teng, Yang Feng, Zhang Yan and others came to the front hall to discuss matters, there were hundreds of distinct guards outside.
Fortunately, the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty was several times larger than the Forbidden City in later generations. It was part of a complex of buildings, and the front hall was the front part. Liu Xie also turned a blind eye or closed one. But in this way, every time Liu Xie saw these
The nominal "confidant" must also come to the front hall. Not many people dare to go to the back to talk secretly with him...
At this time, after Liu Bei saw Bai Tu's conditions, he sighed secretly and shook his head.
Previously, Liu Bei strongly recommended Jian Yong as an envoy. Although Dong Cheng was a bit dissatisfied, with the persuasion of Zhong Ji and Liu Ai, Liu Xie approved Liu Bei's recommendation.
After Jian Yong returned to Chang'an, he originally wanted to see Liu Bei first, but Liu Bei simply closed the door behind him...
After being rejected, Jian Yong also understood what Liu Bei meant, and once again sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, my lord is a sincere gentleman." After that, Jian Yong cleaned up and went to the palace to meet Liu Xie first.
Liu Bei did not want Liu Xie to feel coerced, and he did not want Jian Yong and others to be regarded as outsiders by Liu Xie because they had their own marks on their bodies.
So Liu Bei just saw the "results" brought back by Jian Yong!
But Liu Xie was obviously more concerned about the fact that Jian Yong went to see Liu Bei first, and didn't care much about Liu Bei staying behind closed doors.
After hearing Dong Cheng talk about this matter, when he first met Jian Yong who had reciprocated, he suppressed his anger. After reading the letter Jian Yong brought back...he directly asked Jian Yong to leave, so Jian Yong himself was not in the palace at this time.
This is already the limit of what Liu Xie's city can achieve. If it had been two years younger, he would have killed someone.
Just like now, Liu Xie wanted to take out his anger on Hua Xin, but... just as soon as he gave the order, Liu Ai calmly stopped the eunuch who was delivering the order, and looked at him to tell him "what to do, go ahead".
Liu Xie obviously noticed this scene and thought that now was not the time to settle accounts with Hua Xin. Otherwise, not to mention the censure from the general's office, even Hua Xin's own popularity would be enough for him to drink, so he pretended not to see it.
, never mentioned the matter of coming to see Hua Xin.
"Your Majesty, what did the general say about this letter? Is there any room for maneuver?" Liu Bei asked after saluting.
Liu Xie emotionally wanted to attack him directly: Ask your good brother!
However, after taking a deep breath, Liu Xie still lowered his tone and said: "Xianhe conveyed the traitor's intention, saying that if the imperial court accepted the Eight Strategies, he would ask to be removed from the position of Marquis of Chu. If not...he would also
I want to invite the King of Jin and Chu!"
Previously, in order to escape, he had to banish a Wei king, which already made Liu Xie very unhappy.
"Can you please persuade Duke Bai to agree to two or three of them first, and leave the others to Xu Tu for the time being?" Liu Bei felt that Bai Tu did not seem to be deliberately provoking, and he also had the condition of "please remove the Marquis of Chu". He seemed to be somewhat sincere, but
This condition... I really can't agree to immediately.
As for Liu Xie calling Bai Tu a "traitor", Liu Bei just pretended not to hear it. At least after going out, Liu Xie changed his tune when facing the courtiers.
"The traitor said that there is no need to send more people. If he agrees, he only needs to activate the Xianshi Zhiwen at the first court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month. Whether he removes the marquis or advances to the throne, he can handle it himself." Liu Xie thought more and more.
Angry, I just feel like this guy is more hateful than Cao Cao.
Obviously what Bai Tu means is that if Xianshi Zhiwen is not seen on the first day of next year, Bai Tu will automatically regard it as a rejection by the court, and he will also declare that the court will make him the King of Chu...
"Your Majesty, I only need one order, and I am willing to retaliate!" Ma Teng directly performed a military half-kneeling salute.
Ma Teng's clothes at this time made him look out of place with the other people around him. He was obviously in Chang'an, and he was still wearing a fur coat popular in Xiliang, with a whole wolf skin hanging around his neck, and a wolf head scarf.
He has a face with a Chinese character, and his facial features are quite straight, but... his two eyebrows are like two axes tilted sideways, making him look very straightforward.
What he said at this time was so stupid that Liu Xie wanted to curse - after talking for a long time, Liu Xie was stunned and didn't say a word!
Can I give this order? If I don’t give it, it seems that my anger before was a sign of fierceness and inner weakness. If I give it... you have to be able to win!
What's more, there are still so many traitors in Guanzhong and Sili, how can they possibly attack the white thieves?
You should stop me now? Do you understand if I get around the white thief first?
I think you are making things difficult for me, Liu Xie!
Liu Ai saw that Liu Xie was being asked for help by Ma Teng instead, and could not stand up to the throne, so he explained on his behalf: "General Ma, please calm down. Bai Gong's suggestion is not without its merits, not to mention that Yongliang is not yet in peace.
How can we get fewer generals?"
Ma Teng didn't want to fight, so after he stood up, he stopped saying anything - no fight? That's none of my business...
"How about we just pretend to agree first? We can earn back Nanyang and Nanjun before we do it!" Zhang Yan came up with a brilliant idea.
"No, anyone in the world can break their trust, but Your Majesty must never do it. Righteousness is the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hand now. You must not give it to others." Liu Bei said immediately.
"I know, after all, that guy is the one who asked me to mobilize the Xian envoy to know. You can't mess around!" Liu Xie also sighed helplessly.
It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter...
In fact, there has been a lot of good news for Liu Xie recently. Since leaving Xudu, he feels quite good about himself.
After all, from the side of the forces supporting the Han Dynasty, whether it was Ma Teng and Han Sui in the Xiliang Pass, Yang Feng, Zhang Yan in the Hedong area of Luoyang, or Liu Bei in Qingzhou, they were basically winning consecutive battles.
It's just that there is a lot of good news about Bai Tu and Cao Cao, but the Yuan family and the Jingzhou Prefecture are not doing enough, which makes Liu Xie very annoyed - can't you just let both sides suffer?
