Can I get to the other side?

After Zhang Fei said these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stiff.

It is true that Yuan Shao disrespected the emperor and was rude to Liu Xie; but to say it directly was to lift the last layer of fig leaf.

"Yide, you..."

Liu Bei was very helpless. He had repeatedly told Zhang Fei to stop talking nonsense, but he still failed to guard against it.

My third brother is good at everything, but he is too impulsive.

Does the emperor have no shame?

Can you say this casually?

It needs to be more tactful!

But he couldn't take it back after he said it, so Liu Bei had no choice but to continue: "Your Majesty, I thought that Yuan Shao was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but what I saw tonight made me greatly disappointed."

"May I ask if Your Majesty is being coerced by Yuan Shao?"

He needs to know what Liu Xie's current situation is.

And is Yuan Shao the new Dong Zhuo?

Facing Liu Bei's inquiry, Liu Xie was silent for a moment, then sighed, walked to a chair nearby and sat down.

"His Majesty?"

Liu Bei was confused and wondered why Liu Xie didn't answer.

Just when he was about to continue questioning, Liu Xie raised his hands, covered his face with his sleeves, and started sobbing softly.

"Uncle Huang doesn't know something."

Liu Xie's eyes were red with tears in his eyes, and he choked with sobs and said: "I thought Yuan Shao was a loyal minister at the beginning, so I escaped from Cao Cao to Jizhou after all the hardships, hoping to get his help."

"Who would have known, who would have known that he had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again!"

"He put me under house arrest in this palace, not allowing me to contact the outside world, and even forced me to issue an order to confer him as a general! He alone holds the power!"

"I live in a deep palace all day long. I can't control my words or my body. Sometimes I even don't have enough food..."

"Uncle Emperor! I am suffering!"

Speaking of sadness, Liu Xie hugged Liu Bei and cried loudly. His tears and snot mixed together and spread on Liu Bei's clothes.

Liu Xie's cries were so sad that those who heard them were saddened and those who heard them shed tears.

This was the first time that Liu Bei saw the emperor acting so gloomy. One can imagine how much he suffered from Yuan Shao.

He hugged Liu Xie, his face was as dark as water, and his heart was quite angry.

Guan Yu's eyes widened angrily, and the anger in his pupils was about to burst out.

"Yuan Shaopifu! How dare you bully the emperor like this! Brother, I will chop off his head."

Although Guan Yu worshiped Liu Bei as his eldest brother, the outlook on life and morality he had established since childhood gave him basic respect for the emperor who called his eldest brother his uncle.

He couldn't bear the emperor being humiliated before his eyes.

"Second brother, no!" Liu Bei quickly grabbed Guan Yu, "You are so reckless, you are going to get His Majesty to death."

Guan Yu also understood that if he killed Yuan Shao, his three brothers and the emperor would not end well. His expression kept changing, and in the end he could only groan in frustration.

"Yuan Shao, are you still living like Dong Zhuo after all?"

Liu Bei sighed.

When Yuan Shao led the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo, he was so high-spirited that he admired him from the bottom of his heart.

But now Yuan Shao is gradually approaching Dong Zhuo.

"Your Majesty has suffered."

Liu Bei looked very remorseful, "I am incompetent and cannot rescue His Majesty from here. I can only watch His Majesty suffer such humiliation here."

"Uncle Emperor, please don't say that!"

Liu Xie wiped his tears and said movedly: "I am satisfied that the emperor has such a heart! My Han Dynasty is not completely hopeless, at least there are loyal ministers like the emperor!"

Feeling the heavy trust in Liu Xie's words, Liu Bei was excited and immediately said seriously: "Your Majesty! Please give me an edict. I will leave Yecheng tomorrow and go to summon the princes and kings from all over the country to rescue you!"

If the emperor's edict is in hand, Liu Bei will have the name to recruit troops, and he can also unite other forces to attack Yuan Shao!

But when Liu Xie heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! I can never agree to this!"

"Why?"

Zhang Fei became a little anxious when he heard this, "If you don't give us an order, where will we recruit troops? Can we still conjure people out of thin air?"

Even a man as rude as Zhang Fei knows the importance of righteousness.

To put it simply, you need a suitable reason to recruit troops. If you don’t even have this reason, why should you recruit troops? Who knows if you are a rebel? Who will follow you?

Those local forces are even less likely to support it.

Without soldiers and the support of local forces, it is impossible to form a combat-effective army. Not to mention anything else, even if soldiers are recruited, food and grass alone are a huge problem.

Guan Yu also said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The three of us brothers once attacked Dong Zhuo. My eldest brother is a member of the Han Dynasty and is different from Yuan Shao and others."

"As long as you are willing to give the edict to my eldest brother, we will definitely recruit enough troops to come to rescue your majesty!"

"It's just Yuan Shao who is not taken seriously by our brothers!"

Guan Yu looked down on Yuan Shao. The only hero in his heart was his eldest brother Liu Bei!

"I know..."

But Liu Xie still shook his head with confusion on his face: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I really can't."

Liu Bei asked: "Why did your Majesty say this?"

And Liu Xie didn't hide anything, he said bluntly: "I gave you the edict. If Yuan Shao knows about it, I am afraid that my life will be difficult to save?"

After hearing this reason, Liu Bei had no way to refute.

Because this is indeed the case, Liu Xie is still under the control of Yuan Shao after all, and he himself is in danger.

If Yuan Shao found out that he secretly issued an imperial edict to ask all the princes to come to the throne, he would not let him off easily. Even if he didn't die, his fate would not be good.

"Wow! This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should I do?"

"It's so frustrating!"

Zhang Fei was quite annoyed and couldn't help complaining.

Liu Xie looked guilty and said, "I am the fish on the chopping board. I can't help myself."

Seeing this, Liu Bei comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. I can understand your helplessness. Please rest assured, I will think of other ways."

"One day, I will rescue your majesty!"

This speech was resounding and full of determination.

Liu Xie was deeply moved. With red eyes, he held Liu Bei's hand and sobbed, "Uncle, I believe in you, and you should take care of yourself."

"You are my last hope."

Liu Bei nodded heavily, and then left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After the three of them walked out of the palace, Liu Xie raised his hand and wiped his face randomly. His expression returned to normal. Where was the sadness and cowardice before?

"I don't know what kind of person Liu Bei is, but I'll take a chance and play the victim first. It's best if there is benefit, but forget it if there is no benefit."

In order to play the victim in front of Liu Bei, Liu Xie tried his best and even forced himself to cry.

Although he didn't know how much effect this play would have, whether Liu Bei would really help him in the future, and whether he would be hostile to Yuan Shao because of this, that was not something he could control.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable. It's hard to say whether Liu Bei is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty or a hypocritical villain as the Doujinists say.

Liu Xie took off the clothes he was wearing and prepared to go to bed.

But at this moment, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open.
