Chapter 684 Different people follow the same path


    Life is always about looking up at the meager hope in the sky in the abyss of disappointment again and again, and then when you climb up hard, you find that you have just climbed from a smaller trap to another bigger trap. .


    Just like when you were a child, you cried and felt sad when you lost a piece of candy. But when you grow up and you can get more candy, you don''t feel much joy because you already know that when you grow up, you will lose the candy. Something much more than just a piece of candy...


    In Chang''an City, the apse of the imperial palace.


    ?Compared with the palaces in Luoyang City, the main hall in Chang''an seems small, simple, and even crude. There is neither a thin silk gauze curtain nor a furnishing with vermillion lacquer and gold patterns. Even the mats on which they sit are discolored, cracked, and have some rough edges due to long use.


    Liu Xie sat silently on the table. On the table in front of him was neither food nor stationery, but a long sword.


    A sword of great strength.


    The Han Sword and the Huanshou Sword are the best expressions of the martial spirit of the Han Dynasty.


    It is said that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty used the Chixiao Sword to kill the White Snake. Perhaps it was for this reason that basically every emperor of the Han Dynasty forged some Han swords.


    Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty cast the tortoise, also known as Xuanwu. Later, Emperor Wen died and was ordered to enter the Sword Xuanwu Palace.


    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cast the eight clothes in the fifth year of Yuanguang, and later put them in Wuyue Mountain.


    Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty cast Maoling, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty cast Maogui, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty cast swords, Guangwu of the Han Dynasty cast jade utensils, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty cast dragon colors, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty cast red gold, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty cast Anhan, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty cast Zhongxing...


    The sword on the desk was made during the third year of Jianning by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The sword is three feet and seven inches long, with an edge on both sides. The middle of the blade is engraved with the word "Zhongxing" in seal script, and there are patterns extending from the spine to the length of the sword. The tip of the sword.


    After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty forged such a batch of Zhongxing swords, in addition to selecting the best four for his collection, the rest were successively given to some officials and generals.


    But what was very strange later was that the four best Zhongxing swords collected by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty were lost for no reason in the palace...


    Lose yourself, haha.


    Liu Xie still remembers that he ran to his father very strangely at that time, could the sword grow legs and run away on its own? Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty didn''t say anything at that time, but his expression was very strange. Only now did Liu Xie guess a little bit.


    ??What is now placed on the table is naturally not the four best "self-lost" Zhongxing swords, but one of the swords given to officials and generals by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.


    Liu Xie slowly raised the sword diagonally.


    ?This Zhongxing sword is already full of scars. Facing the light, you can clearly see the various collision gaps, polishing marks, and the blood hidden in the sword body...


    ?This long sword is the same one that Dong Zhuo struck on the incense table in the temple. Liu Xie still remembered that on that day, Dong Zhuo wiped his scalp and slashed the sword on the incense table. The strong cold wind even stimulated his whole body to tremble.


    Then the sword was left in Liu Xie''s hands, and Dong Zhuo seemed to have forgotten it and never mentioned it again.


    Dahan Sword, Zhongxing Sword.


    hehe.


    Is Dong Zhuo a villain?


    Of course yes.


    But who is not a bad thief now?


    On the day when Dong Zhuo was crowned, Liu Xie was so excited that he couldn''t sleep all day and night. He thought a lot. He even felt that the sky was finally clear, the air was finally fresh, and even the simple palace here was so cute and amiable...


    I still want to flex my muscles and govern the world according to the way of the three kings. The world will be peaceful, the world will be prosperous, the people will be happy, and the world will be peaceful.


    Then what?


    ??Then I realized that I was actually just jumping from a smaller wooden frame to a slightly larger cage, and was still restricted by various rules and regulations.


    You can leave the main hall freely, but you cannot leave the palace freely. You can freely read the memorials, but you cannot freely criticize and describe them.


    You can attend court meetings freely, but you cannot express your opinions freely.


    Liu Xie looked up at the sky, silent. I once thought that Dong Zhuo was an evil thief, so everyone except Dong Zhuo should be good people, but I didn''t expect that it was just another form.


    When Dong Zhuo was here, although he didn’t have much freedom, at least he could still eat enough, and there was no shortage of fish and meat. Although Liu Xie also knew that this was because Dong Zhuo would sometimes stay in the palace, mainly to prepare food for Dong Zhuo...


    But now, if he had slightly different opinions, although Wang Situ would not point at his nose and scold him fiercely like Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie could feel the hunger that he had not experienced for a long time. Of course, after Liu Xie sealed all the memorials sent by Wang Yun without saying a word, the food was sent to the palace.


    "Now Chang''an is experiencing a shortage of supplies and food. As the emperor, I should be considerate..." OK, I''m here to sympathize with the people, but what about Wang Situ''s face glowing red every day and his strides as fast as flying?


    ?Now Liu Xie finally understands the meaning of the words that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty muttered while holding him when he was a child...


    “I am a widower…I am a widower…”


    “This world, after all, is not the Liu family’s world…”


    “The relatives and nobles are all outsiders, and only the eunuchs in the palace are our own. It’s a pity..."


    Liu Xie stood up, carried the long sword, walked into the main hall, and then slowly waved the long sword, just like the dancers at the royal sacrifice every year, with a strict look, as if his hands and feet were tied while dancing It''s like getting on the rope and being operated by invisible hands in mid-air.


    “The wind is blowing…”


    Liu Xie just sang the beginning of the song softly, and then he saw a small yellow doorman walking like a gust of wind outside the main hall. He knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wang Situ asked to see you! He is almost in front of the palace..."


    ?Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to have suddenly changed from gas to liquid, and then quickly transformed to solid...


    “I understand...Please come in, Situ...Also, go get the seal..."


    ??????????????????????Please print it?


    ?The same unannounced entry, just with a different person.


    ?This has become a routine thing. Although the seal is in my own hands now, what''s the difference?


    Liu Xie slowly walked back to the table, then picked up the black scabbard from the table, and slowly put the Zhongxing Sword in his hand into the scabbard bit by bit, his face and The expression in the eyes became flat and dull during this action, as if being put into the scabbard.


    A voice rose in Liu Xie''s heart: I don''t want to stay here anymore, I don''t want to be a puppet anymore, I want to leave here, I want to go back to Luoyang, back to the land I am familiar with, back to the place where I was born. place…


    The author needs to be reminded again:


    Just because it’s written as if it’s true is already the greatest evaluation…


    When anything is displayed in front of you, you need to be able to discern and judge...


    Just like when you need a bad guy, there will be one like this, and when you need a white lotus, there will be one...


    There is no need to get angry because of this, accusing the author of distorting history, mixing in personal information, saying that what the author wrote is different from what he has learned and read...


    Just like the news on TV, whether it is true or false, it is made by some people who want us to see it...


    If you want to see the real side, you can go to a third party, but similarly, third-party TV news has also been edited and corrected...


    So judgment is the most important...
