Han Dao world

The direction of the emperor's imperial camp was peaceful, and the envoy he was looking forward to did not appear for a long time.

At this moment, he could not expect the appearance of the envoy of the Son of Heaven, even if he issued an edict to punish him, it would be better than hanging on like this.

He sent someone to the imperial camp to inquire about the news, and wanted to ask Yang Xiu for help, but he heard that Yang Xiu was not in the imperial camp, and went to the camp of Hussar General Zhang Ji.

Many people saw that Yang Xiu went eastwards accompanied by Zhang Xiu, there is no doubt that Yang Xiu was not avoiding him.

The people sent did not find Yang Xiu, but found a piece of news.

The emperor will hold a celebration banquet tonight.

The word "celebration" gave Yang Ding another big slap in the face.

The intensity of this battle can be felt even if he is far away from the battlefield.The emperor personally went into battle and killed Li Jue.Shi Sun Rui was attacked by armored cavalry, his position collapsed, and he was almost killed.The Shesheng Battalion shot empty arrows and drew their swords to fight hand-to-hand.

Everyone was desperate, but he, Yang Ding, recharged his energy and looked lonely.

Originally thought that both sides would suffer, and I was indispensable, but I didn't expect that the emperor would go into battle and turn the situation around in one fell swoop, not only killing Li Jue, but also forcing Zhang Ji to surrender.

I suddenly became insignificant.

The credit belongs to others, only the shame belongs to oneself.

Yang Ding also knew in his heart that his subordinates had great opinions on him.Part of it is that he missed the opportunity to make meritorious service. Others eat meat, but they can't even drink soup.Part of it is that he feels ungrateful and sorry for the ardent hopes of the emperor.

In order to deliver food to him, the emperor did not hesitate to order the northern and southern armies to take the initiative.

But he refused to save him, wanting to profit from the fisherman.Even Xiliang people can't accept this kind of behavior.

You can lose face, but you can't take life and death lightly.

Yang Ding ordered the whole army to be on alert in case the emperor ordered people to attack.

There is no need for the emperor to take action, and there are many people who want to use his head to claim credit.

Even with him.

The more Yang Ding thought about it, the more uneasy he became, his shirt was soaked in cold sweat, and he weighed it again and again.

He called two of his confidants and said in a hoarse voice: "One of you goes to the imperial camp and asks to see Guo Shilang; the other goes to Zhang Ji's camp and asks to see Yang Shilang. Go!"

The two cronies didn't dare to be negligent, they got off the platform in a hurry, got on their horses, and galloped out of the camp.

-

Liu Xie and Jia Xu sat opposite each other, chatting about gossip.

It was getting late, and the celebration banquet was about to kick off.Almost all those who were qualified to attend the banquet arrived and took their seats in the mats set up outside.Everyone is in a good mood, calling friends and companions, chatting and laughing happily, and having fun.

Guo Wu walked over, seeing Jia Xu present, he looked a little hesitant.

Jia Xu stood up knowingly. "Your Majesty, I'm going to see my old friend."

Liu Xie nodded.He attaches great importance to Jia Xu, but Jia Xu's identity is only a servant, and he is not qualified to sit nearby.He invited Jia Xu to speak in the tent in advance to show his closeness to Jia Xu, and the number of seats should not be used as the criterion.

"Where Li Ying and Li Huan are, please take care of me, sir."

"This is the duty of a minister." Jia Xu smiled and cupped his hands, turned and left.

Guo Wu approached and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the rear general Yang Ding has sent someone here."

"Yes, say something?"

"The general later regretted it too much, and wanted to plead guilty to His Majesty in person."

Liu Xie snorted.

At this time, Yang Ding is still playing tricks.He really wanted to apologize, why send someone to test him, just write a letter.Sending someone to ask, of course, is to keep the official title and participate in this celebration banquet.

As long as he is not dismissed and he attends the celebration banquet, he can call himself a meritorious minister.

"What do you think?"

Guo Wu was silent for a moment. "Yang Ding resisted the imperial edict, seeing death without saving him, and punishing him according to the law. It's just that I can make a small contribution in this battle. In addition to His Majesty's wisdom, Yang Ding also has a share of credit. If he hadn't gifted the minister with fine armor, the minister may not be able to fight against the Flying Bear Army. He was killed in battle. I have to say something about public and private affairs."

Liu Xie thought about it carefully and sighed.

Before he could kill Yang Ding, he just wanted to beat Yang Ding.

Although Yang Ding is hateful, he still deserves some credit after all.

If he hadn't restrained Li Shi and Li Jue's army had been exhausted, the situation would have been even more severe. It's hard to say whether there would be a chance of a comeback.

Now that Yang Dingqiu came to Guo Wu, he also knew that other Xiliang people would not help him.

Taking this opportunity to ask Guo Wu to repay Yang Ding's favor is also a good choice.

"Did he send someone to ask Yang Xiu?"

"Send."

"You go to Yang Xiu and ask him to see Yang Ding."

Guo Wu understood and saluted deeply. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Guo Wu got out of the tent, Liu Xie got up and walked around the tent twice, still feeling a little uneasy.

This battle seems to be a big victory, and the situation has improved, but in fact there has been no essential change, at least not yet.

We must leave Huayin as soon as possible and rush to Hedong to get rid of the unfavorable situation of being surrounded by Xiliang army.

Dances with wolves sounds romantic, but it's scary when you're there.

"Your Majesty, the time has come." Taichang Wang Jiang, who was dressed in court clothes, walked in and said loudly.

"Has the Hussar General arrived?"

"All those who should come have come. There are still many who are not qualified to participate but want to meet Tianyan. They are all waiting for His Majesty to receive them."

Liu Xie smiled, turned around and said, "Queen, are you ready?"

"The concubine is ready." Fu Shou responded, opened the door lightly, and walked out from the inner tent with curly steps.Shy and timid, she secretly glanced at Liu Xie, and then bowed her head to Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang bowed and saluted, turned around and went out of the tent, stood still outside the tent door, and shouted loudly with Qi in her dantian.

"The Son of Heaven is here—"

The military officers, headed by Hussar General Zhang Ji, and the civil servants, headed by Situ Zhao Wen, stood up one after another, bowed their hands and saluted, and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty is welcome, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live—"

Chapter 148

Liu Xie raised his hand to signal to the ministers.

Although the sight was blocked by the white jade beads, Liu Xie could still feel the unconcealed excitement of the ministers.

Since Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he had not seen a similar emotion.

They have been suppressed for too long and need a victory too much.

The cheers like a tsunami stopped suddenly, and the cheers continued for a while before subsiding slowly.

Feeling the eager eyes of countless people, Liu Xie suddenly became a little nervous.

This is truly the center of attention.

He quietly clenched his hand.

The palms are all sweaty.

Fortunately, although this court dress was a bit small, the sleeves were long enough to hide his little movements tightly.

"Your Majesty." Feeling Liu Xie's nervousness, Fu Shou stretched out his hand, tugged at Liu Xie's sleeve, and said with a soft smile, "They are all His Majesty's subjects, not the vicious Xiliang soldiers."

Liu Xie turned his face slightly, wanting to take a look at Fushou.With a slight movement of his head, the string of white jade beads in front of him shook.

He stopped quickly, just stretched out his hand, and held Fushou's little hand through the sleeve.

Fu Shou struggled lightly, but he didn't break free, so he also gave up struggling.

The two walked forward hand in hand and sat down under Wang Jiang's guidance.When the man sat down, he remembered that the minister had not yet been flattened, and it was difficult to get up, so he had to sit upright and said: "All the ministers are flattened."

Wang Jiang then said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty ordered that all the gentlemen be flat and take their seats."

Seeing that Liu Xie sat down on his own, all the ministers were puzzled. After hearing Wang Jiang's words, they were relieved and sat down one after another.

Zhao Wen thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but feel sore, and shed tears involuntarily.

Since the emperor came to the throne, there has never been such a big scene.The emperor is young and has no practical experience, so he will inevitably be negligent in etiquette.

The past few years have not been easy for Dahan.

Zhao Wen's seat is on Liu Xie's left.Seeing Zhao Wen weeping, Liu Xie thought that he had some grievances, and wanted to take the opportunity to remonstrate. He felt a little tired, but he had to take the initiative to ask questions to show his concern.

"Situ, why is this?"

Zhao Wen could barely bear it at first, but when he heard the emperor's question, he couldn't help crying loudly.

"Since the first emperor's great rise, the great man has suffered many catastrophes, and everyone is in danger. The ministers are incompetent, unable to protect your majesty, so that your majesty is repeatedly bullied by the thieves, and the dignity of the court is demolished. Fortunately, God did not abandon, the fire continued, and your majesty was brave. Li Jue. The minister is vibrating within the five inner circles and cannot be himself. Your Majesty is impolite, please punish me."

Halfway through Zhao Wen's speech, many ministers began to cry.Some wept sadly, and some cried out of breath, beating their chests and feet.

Sitting on the right hand of Liu Xie, the chief hussar general, Zhang Ji, was sitting on pins and needles, with an extremely embarrassed expression.

Liu Xie felt a little sad after hearing this.

These ministers may have such thoughts, but they did not abandon the court even in the most difficult time, which is not easy in itself.

"I am very grateful to you for not abandoning the court." Liu Xie got up, walked in front of Zhao Wen, bent down to help Zhao Wen up, and faced the ministers again. "Mencius said, born in sorrow, died in peace. He also said that when the sky will send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer from their hearts and muscles. Today's suffering is the foundation of tomorrow's brilliance."

He raised his wine glass and said loudly: "I am not sensitive, and I would like to work with you to rejuvenate the great Han and build peace together."

All the ministers raised their glasses one after another. "The ministers are willing to work together with His Majesty to rejuvenate the great Han and build peace together."

Zhang Ji also held his wine glass, but his voice was not loud and his confidence was seriously lacking.

Liu Xie saw it, but didn't say anything.

Liu Xie returned to his seat, Zhao Wen wiped away his tears, stepped forward to toast and offer a congratulatory speech.

The mood of the ministers gradually calmed down, and the procedure was back on track.

After Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi finished toasting, Jiuqing, headed by Da Sinonong Zhang Yi, stepped forward to toast.

Zhang Ji sat opposite, looking uneasy.

It stands to reason that he, the hussar general, is above San Gong.If you want to toast, he is also the first to toast.But from the time he received the rank, he knew that he, the hussar general, was no longer above San Gong. At this moment, seeing this situation, he could do nothing but swallow his anger.

If he could have done something, he wouldn't be sitting here.

Despite his mental preparations, he underestimated the seriousness of the situation.

Obviously, after the emperor defeated Li Jue, his prestige increased sharply, and he could no longer be regarded as an ignorant little emperor.Judging from his performance, he may be a little jerky, but he has enough courage and the spirit of a hero.

No wonder even Li Jue died at his hands.

Seeing that Jiuqing had finished toasting, Zhang Ji got up, and together with his wife, Zou Shi, came to Liu Xie with a wine glass.

"General Hussars, Chen Ji, pay homage to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress."

Zou also saluted.It was also the first time for her to participate in such an occasion, and she seemed a little cramped.

In contrast, Fu Shou is generous and generous, showing the demeanor of a queen.

After drinking, Zhang Ji was about to go back to the banquet. Liu Xie called the wine waiter and asked him to add a glass of wine to Zhang Ji.

The wine is actually the same wine, but it is poured from his special flagon, so the meaning is quite different.

Zhang Ji was startled at first, but then he was overjoyed, holding the cup with both hands quickly, for fear of spilling a drop.

With this cup of royal wine, he has enough confidence to announce to others that the holy family is not bad.

"Your Majesty, this... minister... minister is really..."

Liu Xie smiled, and lightly touched the wine glass in his hand with Zhang Ji.

"Although the general did not participate in the battle, he is still a man of merit. If it weren't for Habayashi Zhonglang who led the elite cavalry and killed Hu Feng, I'm afraid Li Jue would be able to persist for a while. The general has made great contributions in teaching and nurturing talents for the country. I should respect you Let the general have a drink and pay respects."

Zhang Ji smiled awkwardly, speechless.

He is not stupid, how can he not understand the meaning of the emperor's words.

You can sit here and drink, not because of your merit, but Zhang Xiu's merit.

If I let you go this time, if I do it again next time, no one will save you.
