The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The weather that seems to be raining is gloomy, and the wind has become cooler, and there is a cool poetry in the wind, and in the gloomy weather, the leaves look like a dark cloud, but here In the dark cloud, a strange green color appeared. Looking up at the dense dark clouds in the sky, thick and invisible, there was such a thunderous sound from somewhere, and the buildings in the entire palace city also appeared in this gloomy weather. It was very low, giving people a sense of pressure from an urgent and tense environment, but that night, until late at night, Liu Xie was not able to fall asleep.

He stayed in the palace of Queen Fushou that night.

Fu Shou felt Liu Xie tossing and turning beside him, as if he had something on his mind. He didn't ask him at first, but in the end he couldn't help it. He sat up and asked Liu Xie: "Sir, do you have something on your mind? The concubine looked at the saint tossing and turning, like sleeping without intention."

Liu Xie also sat up and said to Fu Shou, "Did I wake the queen?"

Liu Xie and Fu Shou have a very good relationship, and Fu Shou said mildly: "It doesn't matter whether the saint wakes up or not, but the dragon body of the saint is important. Listen to you, it's just three watch, but the saint is very important. Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? You must know that tomorrow is the day of the court, and at the court meeting, if the saint does not cheer up and let the ministers see it, I am afraid it will not be a proper way."

Liu Xie sighed, looked at Fu Shou's tender and beautiful face, and said with a wry smile: "Empress, it's because tomorrow is the day of the court meeting that I can't sleep."

Fu Shou said: "Why is it difficult for the Holy One to sleep because of the court meeting tomorrow? Could it be that there is something difficult to solve in the court?"

Liu Xie said: "Empress, what else can be difficult to solve!"

After hearing Liu Xie's words, Fu Shou immediately knew what Liu Xie meant, and said, "Did the sage say, or did Xi Zhong, Xun Yu and others request the sage to remove Yang Biao from the post of captain?"

Liu Xie said: "This is one thing, ... there is one more thing, I haven't had time to tell you. The queen knows that just yesterday morning, Yang Biao and several ministers jointly signed a table to me."

Fu Shou asked, "What watch?"

Liu Xie said: "Yang Gong proposed to take the initiative to resign from the post of Taiwei."

Fu Shou was stunned and said, "Yang Gong wants to take the initiative to resign from the post of Taiwei?"

Liu Xie said, "Yes."

However, Fu Shou couldn't understand why, so he asked Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, why did Yang Biao resign himself from the post of captain? Is it because he knew that the general of the chariot and cavalry wanted to dismiss him? It should not be so Right? Yang Gong is a person, and the concubine knows a thing or two. This person has a righteous personality and is a stubborn person. He definitely won’t just take the initiative to resign because Xun Zhen wants to dismiss him.”

Liu Xie said: "Empress, you are right. Duke Yang did not take the initiative to resign from the post of Taiwei because the general of the chariot and cavalry wanted to dismiss him."

Fushou asked, "Why is that?"

Liu Xie sighed again, and simply got up from the bed without wearing shoes, so he stepped on the floor barefoot and walked around.

At that time, the weather was in April and May, although the floor was very cold, but because the weather was hot and it was going to rain, the air was humid and sultry, so I stepped on the cool floor with bare feet and felt the cool air. Into the body, but rather comfortable.

But this cool feeling of comfort could not dispel the sultry air in the hall, nor could it dispel the dullness, unease, and even vague fear that shrouded Liu Xie in his heart.

He said: "Empress, in the form that Yang Gong gave to me, he said that he hoped that after the resignation of the Taiwei, I would be able to assign this position to the general Yuan Shao."

Fu Shou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "To be appointed to the general Yuan Shao?"

After all, Fu Shou is a smart woman, and he soon understood the reason.

She said: "Yang Gong is trying to provoke a disagreement between the chariot general and the general by resigning himself as the captain, and then asking the sage general to resign as the captain to the general Yuan Shao."

But she had already thought that, no matter whether Yuan Shao could become the prefect, as long as Yang Biao's memorial went up, then the discord between Yuan Shao and Xun Zhen would become clear.

As mentioned in the previous article, if Yuan Shao was appointed as the prefect, then Xun Zhen would definitely have grudges in his heart, and if Xun Zhen did not let Yuan Shao be the prefect, then the news reached Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao would naturally agree. He was even more dissatisfied with Xun Zhen.

Liu Xie said: "Yes, Queen, I think that is what Yang Gong meant."

Fu Shou said: "Sacred Lord, since Duke Yang means this, I don't know what the Holy One means, how are you going to decide?"

Liu Xie said: "Empress, it's precisely because I don't know how to make a decision that I can't sleep. Tomorrow is the court meeting. If Mr. Yang takes this seriously at tomorrow's court meeting, and then put on this memorial, Queen, you say, what should I do? The answer is? Promise him, or not promise him?"

Fu Shou lowered his head, thought about it for a long time, and replied to Liu Xie, "From the point of view of a cheap concubine, Duke Yang's expression seems unacceptable."

Liu Xie frowned and said, "But if you don't agree to him, Duke Yang, and the ministers who jointly signed the letter with him, are all loyal ministers. Didn't I hurt the hearts of loyal ministers?"

Fu Shou said: "Your Majesty, the concubine means that you can't agree to him, but you don't need to agree to him."

Liu Xie didn't understand, so he asked Fushou and said, "Empress, you are confusing me. What do you mean by agreeing to him and not agreeing to him?"

Fu Shou said: "Sacred Lord, the meaning of the concubine is that the Holy One can be noncommittal about this."

Liu Xie suddenly realized what Fu Shou meant, and said, "The empress means that I will not answer this at the court meeting tomorrow."

Fu Shou said: "That's right! Since the Holy One feels embarrassed, why not put this matter aside for the time being, can't it be enough?"

Liu Xie stood on the hall with his hands behind his back, because he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he even forgot to walk. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his face and said to Fu Shou, "Empress, your strategy is good. , but I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.”

Fu Shou asked, "Queen, why is this?"

Liu Xie said: "Empress, although I can be noncommittal, but if I expect it well, at the court meeting tomorrow, not only will Yang Gonggong submit a letter/resign the Taiwei, and request that the post of Taiwei be appointed to Yuan Shao, and Duke Xun will He will also give me a memorial." As he spoke, the wry smile on his face grew stronger.

Fu Shou asked, "Your Majesty, what memorial will he give to the general of the chariot and cavalry?"

Liu Xie said: "In other words, it's not the generals of chariots and cavalry, but Xi Zhong and Xun Yu. They will definitely make a memorial."

Understanding Liu Xie's meaning, Fu Shou said: "The sage is saying that at the meeting of the Celestial Dynasty, Xi Zhong, Xun or others will continue their previous petition, and then submit the memorial to the court, asking the sage to worship the general of the chariot and cavalry...? "

Liu Xie said, "That's right. Empress, I can be noncommittal about Yang Biao's memorial, but if Xi Zhong, Xun Yu and the others are to make another memorial, Empress, how do you think I should answer them?

Fu Shou thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible."

Regarding Yang Biao's memorial, Liu Xie could put it aside and not mention it for the time being, but Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others have now formed a powerful force in the court, and Xun Zhen has military power in his hands. The court is now in Xuxian County, and Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others occupy the land, so now, Xi Zhicai is equal to the right to speak in the political affairs, and it already accounts for the majority.

In this case, even if Liu Xie's attitude towards Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, etc. on the list is the same as his attitude towards Yang Biao's list, but the greatest possibility is that Xi Zhicai and others will forcibly The DPRK passed their memorials.

Liu Xie was so distressed that he asked Fushou, "Empress, what do you think I should do?"

Fu Shou thought about it, no matter how smart she was, after all, she was just a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She didn't have any mature political wisdom, and she couldn't think of a way. But seeing Liu Xie so depressed, it was hard to say anything else. Then he comforted Liu Xie and said, "Your Highness, the humble concubine has heard the folk saying that the car must have a way to the front of the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Tomorrow's court meeting, if Xi Zhong, Xun Yu, etc. really go to the memorial, the concubine will be sent to him as a cheap concubine. I mean, when the sage arrives, you might as well not express your opinion first and see what the attitudes of the other ministers are, and then make a decision before it is too late. When the time comes, there will always be a way!" After a pause, he looked at Liu Xie and asked, "Your Majesty, the concubine is so embarrassed by His Majesty, is it because His Majesty doesn't want to appoint the Grand Commander or the Great Sima to the General of Chariots and Cavalry?"

Liu Xie sighed again and said, "Empress, what Duke Yang said to me is also very reasonable. Duke Xun now holds the military power, is a general of chariots and cavalry, and is in charge of the government, and also serves as a recorder, military and political. If you get the appointment of the Taiwei or even the Grand Sima, then in the courtroom, you will really cover the sky with one hand!"

Fu Shou said, "The emperor was worried that Duke Xun would know him? But the emperor, didn't the emperor feel relieved about Duke Xun before?"

The last time Xun Zhen was not very respectful to Liu Xie in the hall, Liu Xie did not tell Fu Shou.

Although he usually doesn't care about anything big or small in the court, when he sees Fu Shou, he will talk to her--speaking of which, this young couple is also dependent on each other. For four or five years, the two have supported each other, Up to now, not only has deep feelings, but also in matters big and small, Liu Xie also attaches great importance to Fu Shou's opinion, and is willing to tell her that on the one hand, he listens to Fu Shou's point of view, and on the other hand, it is also to relieve depression. Shou told Liu Xie twice that Xunzhen was a good minister, and Liu Xie listened to her words, but other government affairs were other government affairs. In this scene of shame in the palace, Liu Xie was a man after all, and he was the emperor. The person who wants to face, and especially Fu Shou is his wife, in front of Fu Shou, he has to be more self-respect, so he did not tell Fu Shou about this.

Liu Xie glanced at Fu Shou, hesitated again and again, and finally did not tell the matter, he just said vaguely to Fu Shou: "Empress, I am not doubting the loyalty of the chariots now, but the queen, I just I feel that what Yang Gong said has some truth, and I have read and read the stories of this dynasty over the years and found that this emperor's power is nothing more than the word balance. If the power of the chariot in the court is too great, I worry that even if he has no dissent now, I am afraid that sooner or later It will also be like the powerful ministers of all dynasties, so Queen, I can't help but guard!"

Can think of this, Liu Xie is already a relatively qualified emperor.

Liu Xie's idea of ​​employing people and his long-term consideration~www.wuxiaspot.com~ makes Fu Shou admire very much, but on the one hand, he does not want to assign the post of Taiwei or Grand Sima to Xun Zhen, but on the other hand, even if he does not agree , but this appointment may still be passed in the court, this is indeed a dilemma, Fu Shou is helpless for a while, and there is no way to help Liu Xie solve this difficulty.

The night was deep, nearly four.

But the most honorable couple in the Han Empire, in this splendid palace, the two are relatively miserable, how can they have the dignity of the emperor and the queen?

Liu Xie was thinking about something in his heart, but he couldn't tell Fu Shou this.

He thought: "The general of the chariot and cavalry really looks like a loyal minister, but why has it changed so much in a blink of an eye?"

Liu Xie couldn't figure it out.

There was a sound of thunder blasting from outside the palace, which seemed to blow up the dull air in the palace, but then the air solidified again, and not only solidified, but also the aftermath of the thunder, which made Liu Xie and Fu Shou both feel a sudden shock. of beating.

The two of them turned their eyes to look outside the hall, and heard the sound of clattering, and the rain began to fall.
