Are you a thief? At the beginning, you are always careful, but when you find that no one is staring at you, your courage will naturally become bigger.

Just like Xi Lu.

At the beginning, Xi Lu did not dare to stretch his claws too long, and was ready to withdraw his hand at any time. However, as time went by, Xi Lu found that Cao Cao seemed to be ignoring his eyes, and immediately understood in his heart.

This is bullying Kong's backyard without anyone...

Bah, there is no one in the court.

Then what else can I say? Just turn it over and do it.

"Your Majesty! The Kong clans were blind and acted, and encouraged the foolish people to beat and injure the officials sent by the Censorate!" Xi Lu said indignantly, "He actually committed crimes in public, violently disobeying, and violated the law and discipline. How could such arrogant people beg him to issue an edict to arrest the son of Kong clans!"

Liu Xie frowned slightly.

It seemed as if Xi Lu said that he was not going to knock Kong Rong to death directly. Now, Kang was so excited that he was as if Kong Rong had really done something unforgivable.

Of course, this problem is very serious when beating officials sent by the court.

But hasn’t that done such a thing?

Moreover, these dispatched officials may not be law-abiding. Maybe these officials from the Censorate were the first to be provoked. If so, wouldn’t it be the edict to capture the son of Kong’s family? Isn’t it wrong to blame Kong Rong?

There are really not many loyal ministers above the court.

Although Kong Rong is not such a loyal minister, at least he doesn't have his butt on Cao Cao's side. Of course, it would be better if he could protect such a person.

"Xi Aiqing, is it too early to issue an edict to arrest him?" Liu Xie frowned, "Just relying on some news and assassination, it is to arrest the sages in the wilderness. How can you convince the public?" Have you forgotten what you said before?

When Xi Lu heard this, he nodded immediately, as if he was following the advice of Emperor Liu Xieyan. "Your Majesty said very well, I am not considering it carefully... Since that's the case, I will follow Your Majesty's wishes..."

Xi Lu said something else and pulled Liu Xie's attention away. After a while, he lowered his head and said back.

Liu Xie sat in the hall and suddenly felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't seem to think of anything wrong.

The emperor's throne looks very gorgeous, with dragon patterns engraved, and magnificent, but in fact it is not very comfortable to sit, not only hard, but also cold. However, Liu Xie still likes to sit on it, even if he sits in a chrysanthemum, it hurts.

Liu Xie shook his body, changed his posture a little, making the place where his hips could bear the strength a little more comfortable, and then suddenly thought about what was wrong just now...

Before, Liu Xie had been urging Xi Lu to make Xi Lu compete with Cao Cao, but Xi Lu only wanted benefits and not difficulties, so he kept shirking. But this time, it seemed like he was stolen, but in fact he was still shirking.

Xi Lu deliberately said a proposal that Liu Xie could not agree, and then waited for Liu Xie to reject it, so that he could continue to take advantage of the situation openly. Xi Lu said that he had mentioned his suggestion anyway, and the emperor himself disagreed, so what would he do? As for whether he was thinking about another way, it was OK, but he should always give it a few more days and think about it carefully...

Thinking of this, Liu Xie wanted to send Xiaohuang goalkeeper Xi Lu to call him back immediately, but when he was about to speak out, he hesitated for a moment and then sat down again.

Liu Xie felt a little breathless and pulled the collar.

The three-fold crown garment inside and outside seemed a little heavy, making him feel a little breathless.

The ills of the Han Dynasty were not caused by Liu Xie alone, but it cannot be said that Liu Xie had no responsibility at all.

Similarly, when Liu Xie wants to change, it is not something that can be decided by one person. He must have a considerable number of people.

But when Liu Xie realized that having the title of emperor alone could not determine everything, he was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it, because no one had taught him.

Emperor Ling of Han became a monk halfway through and didn't know what to be considered a good emperor. How could he teach Liu Xie what?

There was a time when Liu Xie believed that the emperor was actually destiny.

He is the emperor, so he is destined to heaven. What is the problem with this? Isn’t it written in many books like this? These books are written by the great sages before, and those emperors before, and his ancestors, can they still be wrong? So at that time, Liu Xie found the "truth" and believed that the five virtues have an end, the way of heaven has reincarnation, and he would be very happy to see the so-called "auspiciousness", thinking that this represents God's recognition of him.

As time goes by, did Liu Xie realize this destiny...

Not reliable.

Those so-called "auspicious" cannot bring any substantial changes. Then I feel that the auspicious a certain guy gave before is almost equivalent to cheating him.

Actually, this is not a big problem. After all, who has not passed the age of second-year high?

It is not shameful to have the dream of saving the world when you were young.

But if you just put all your hopes on destiny, and then you feel that everything will be arranged by God. You just need to wait and do it. You don’t need hard work or hard work, and you don’t need to fight or make choices. You can get everything naturally. Then you will definitely have to be disappointed, and again and again.

Only after suffering can people reflect and summarize.

The same is true for Liu Xie. After being hit many times, he began to think.

Then, how to be the emperor was Fei Qian who taught him the concept and Cao Cao who taught him the methods.

Liu Xie was supported by Dong Zhuo to the throne of emperor, but he was actually ignorant. At that time, he didn't know the true meaning of the emperor, nor did he know what that position actually represented, and he didn't even have any specific concepts about the Han Dynasty itself. He just knew that he was not having a good time at that time, he was very hard-earned, worried, had no food or clothing, and everything depends on the color of others, Dong Zhuo, and Li Guo...

At that time, everything about Liu Xie revolved around him. He liked, he didn't like, he was happy, he was unhappy...

It was Fei Qian who took him out of his small circle and saw a real and somewhat cruel man.

That was the first time Liu Xie had come into contact with the gentry and people outside the palace, and met the real people of the great man.

Poor, weak.

Fear, uneasy.

Just like Liu Xie himself.

This made Liu Xie feel a little uncomfortable, just like the bowl of Peak Lake that he drank, which was smooth and smelled of grass. It reminded him that there was actually not much difference between him and those humble people.

It will also feel bad, it will also feel uncomfortable, it will also feel sad.

But he is the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty...

Emperor, how can he be like the people?

This completely goes against Liu Xie’s original worldview.

The bright and beautiful man who existed in Liu Xie's head began to be stained with the fireworks and smelled of mud.

If it were Fei Qian's side, Liu Xie first met the real Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie first met the Han Dynasty's court here.

Fight for power and profit, calculate each other.

Dismantle each other and poke each other's back.

He is loyal and filial in his mouth, but he has no limit in his heart.

Compromise, balance.

Game, plan.

It's like a beast wearing a robe.

This made Liu Xie very uncomfortable at first, as if he didn't understand Dong Zhuo's mockery in the Taimiao. Only after he lost the sword did he understand the true meaning of the sword.

If the emperor has no sword in his hand for a day, then he will definitely have no power in his hand for a day.

Xi Lu is not a good sword, but a good person that looks a little bit like this, but this is the only sword that Liu Xie can hold in his hand at the moment.

The education Liu Xie received when he was young was not very good.

His father and his grandmother never really taught Liu Xie anything. They just hope that Liu Xie can be carefree and happy all their lives. However, whether it is his father, his grandmother, or Liu Xie himself, they have never really thought about where the so-called carefree and happy happiness comes from?

Emperor Ling of Han also wanted to do something in the early days, but after he couldn't do it well, he was very likely to give up. Liu Xie had some of the same habits at the beginning. Fortunately, Liu Xie was younger and knew a little more flexible. Although he is still a little immature and even a little simple, he has made some progress compared to his simplicity and ignorance when he was in Chang'an before.

In other words, Liu Xie was originally an idealist idealist, but now he is gradually moving towards reality and doesn't just emphasize idealism...

This has actually made great progress for ordinary people. Unfortunately, Liu Xie is the Emperor of Han, and he is also the Emperor of Han at sunset, so his progress is not enough.

Time always passes by quickly, and the sun gradually turns westward. Liu Xie stood silently at the door of Chongde Hall, looking at the red sun that is about to set in the West.

"Zhang Ban..." Liu Xie suddenly called out.

Behind the column of the main hall, Zhang Eunuch, the Yellow Gate, flashed out, "I am here."

"What's going on with spring plowing now?" Liu Xie asked.

"As far as I know, the surrounding farmland has been plowed..." Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and said, "Everyone said that he is blessed by the emperor, and this year will definitely be a good year..."

『Haha.』 Liu Xie smiled and did not comment. Liu Xie now had some ability to resist such flattery words. After a moment, Liu Xie asked again: 『What have you been doing in the past few days?』

Eunuch Zhang still lowered his head, "Report to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has been in the Prime Minister's Office these days, dealing with political affairs... nothing unusual..."

Liu Xie glanced at Eunuch Zhang at a squint, then nodded.

Eunuch Zhang kept his head down. After a while, he saw that Liu Xie had no words, and then he quietly raised his head, quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xie, and then immediately lowered his head again, "Your Majesty, it's too late..."

Liu Xie held his hands behind his back and watched the setting sunset.

The dim color shines inside and outside the palace, as if she paints a layer of golden paint to Liu Xie, Chongde Hall, and the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, it's getting late..." Liu Xie nodded, "Go back."

"After the order..." Eunuch Zhang hurriedly, then turned his head and shouted to the front of the palace, "Come on! Your Majesty is back to the palace!"

The imperial palaces in Xu County are of course not as good as the Weiyang Changle during the heyday of the Han Dynasty, nor are they comparable to the imperial palaces in Luoyang City.

While walking forward slowly, Liu Xie recalled the appearance of Luoyang City back then, and a look of nostalgia was revealed in his eyes.

Luoyang was so big back then...

Beigong, Nangong, east and west are markets, handicraft workshops, and residents' neighborhoods.

By the way, there is also the royal garden that Liu Xie liked to visit the most at that time.

Palace, official office.

Temples, granaries.
