Can I get to the other side?

Liu Xie felt that Zhang He might have misunderstood him.

I just want to chat with you. What do you mean by expressing your loyalty when you come up? But...it's pretty good.

Liu Xie probably understood Zhang He's current situation.

Abandoned by Han Fu and unable to be trusted or reused by Yuan Shao, he was an uncle who did not care for his grandmother. He had no place for his talents and enthusiasm. He was in a stage where his talents were not appreciated, and he was empty, lonely and cold.

At this time, we need Huang Mao... No, we need a wise master like him to appear.

Liu Xie was rubbing his hands in his heart, preparing to capture this five-son general and become his assistant.

"The general is a talented person, so I naturally trust you."

Liu Xie said cheerfully, "Now that our country is declining, we are lacking loyal ministers and generals like General who have the ability and the heart to serve the country. I have you now, which is no less than a right-hand man!"

After being praised so highly by the emperor, Zhang He knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty has given you too much praise, and the general will be frightened."

"The general is born in civilian clothes. He has no other abilities but some martial arts. Now that he is serving your majesty, he will do his best to live up to his majesty's expectations!"

Zhang He was quite excited.

It was a great honor that he, a mere military commander with a commoner background and no background, could receive such courtesy and attention from the emperor!

Looking at Zhang He whose face was full of emotion, Liu Xie was also stunned for a moment.

He still had a lot of words that he had not said, and he planned to drag Zhang He to talk all night long and eat at the same table tonight to show his courtesy and virtuous corporal. However, as soon as he started, Zhang He was almost defeated?

Where is this?

"It seems that the aura of the emperor's status is not that strong."

Liu Xie soon realized that he still underestimated how powerful the buff brought by the emperor's identity was.

It may not have much effect on ambitious heroes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but for ordinary literati and generals, it is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow!

After all, this is a feudal dynasty. Four hundred years ago during the Han Dynasty, the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and serving the country has long been deeply implanted in the hearts of most people. Under such circumstances, the emperor showed his appreciation for you and said that he would reuse you. How many people resisted? Can you live there?

Others don't know, but Zhang He will definitely not be able to stop him.

"General, please get up quickly."

Liu Xie stepped forward again and helped Zhang He up, then pulled him to sit down and asked, "I just heard that the general was born a commoner?"

Zhang He nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am from Hejian County and Min County. In the early years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. I wanted to join the army as a man to serve the country and be a general, so I enlisted in the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans." ”

"Because his force was outstanding and he worked hard at killing thieves, he was promoted to Army Sima soon after, and General Yuan took over Jizhou not long after that."

In this era when officialdom is monopolized by aristocratic families.

If ordinary people want to get ahead, they can only join the military and earn military merit. There is no other way.

Everything is of inferior quality, except for high birth.

"It is not easy for a general to reach where he is today as a civilian."

Liu Xie sighed and couldn't help but shook his head, "On the way to Jizhou, I saw many people who were displaced and suffering from the war. It was really miserable."

"As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, these people are my subjects. Seeing them like this makes me extremely heartbroken."

"This is my incompetence and my dereliction of duty as the emperor!"

Liu Xie clenched his teeth, with a look of remorse on his face.

Zhang He couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

He was used to seeing too many famous disciples who came from wealthy families. In the eyes of these people, ordinary people were even worse than pigs and dogs, and they didn't care whether they lived or died.

And Liu Xiegui, as the emperor, actually cares about the people?

Liu Xie looked at Zhang He and said with a smile: "General, are you thinking that as the emperor, I would actually care about the lives of ordinary people? This sounds too fake, right?"

Zhang He was a little panicked when Liu Xie told him what he was thinking.

"Mo, I will not dare!"

Liu Xie waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's normal to have such thoughts. After all, meat-eaters are despicable. How can a high-ranking big shot care about the lives of the people at the bottom?"

"I have to be grateful for this escape experience. It allowed me to come out of the palace and see how difficult the lives of ordinary people are. It also made me understand a truth."

Zhang He was fascinated by what he heard and subconsciously asked: "What's the point?"

Liu Xie sat up straight and spoke every word.

"No matter how vast and fertile the territory is, if the people live in poverty, then even if there are thousands of miles of land, why is it valuable?"

"The country is the people, and the people are the country!"

Liu Xie's last words were like thunder, exploding in Zhang He's ears!

"The country is the people, and the people are the country!"

Zhang He was a little distracted and recited this sentence silently over and over again. The more he chewed on it, the more he could feel the deep love for the people contained in this sentence.

Your Majesty, do you think so?

"Jun Yi! (jun yi)"

Liu Xie suddenly spoke. This time he did not call the general, but called Zhang He directly and looked at him sincerely.

"I would like to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and restore the Han Dynasty; but now, there is no one trustworthy around me, even Yuan Shao has a disloyal heart!"

"If Junyi is willing to help me, I will treat you as a scholar of the country!"

Liu Xie made so much preparations just to say this!

He needs a real helper!

And at present, Zhang He is the best candidate!

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang He was shocked, and his blood boiled. He stood up and knelt down to Liu Xie, his eyes full of tears, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve your majesty with all my strength!"

"If you violate this, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

After that, Zhang He kowtowed heavily, and his forehead hit the ground, making a dull "dong" sound.

Liu Xie's eyes were also red, and he was very moved and said: "Jun Yi, I believe you!"

He knew in his heart that Zhang He was completely conquered by him.

Now that old Sima Yi has not sworn an oath to Luoshui, the oath at this time is still very important. The ancients said that a promise is worth a thousand gold.

And his last words were to be honest with Zhang He, and he directly said that he did not believe in Yuan Shao. This was a great trust and sincerity, and Zhang He could not help but be moved.

This is the emperor's entrustment and trust!

In this era, being regarded as a confidant and a person by the emperor is a great honor, which is not something that normal people can resist. I really want to sell my life for it.

"I have my first general, so cool!"

Liu Xie was very happy.

But he didn't know that at this moment, not far from the pavilion, a pair of eyes were watching all this.

His eyes stayed on Liu Xie for a long time, and finally retracted, touched his chin, and then turned away, his figure disappeared in the depths of the garden.
