Chapter 649 The Young Emperor Comes Out Eastward

"bring here."

Jia Xu, who was beside Liu Ye, stepped forward and stretched out his palm. Tan Shao hurriedly took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his arms and handed it to Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu opened it, his expression suddenly changed, and then he handed it to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye took it calmly. Within a few seconds, his brows furrowed and his facial features suddenly wrinkled.

Although the civil and military generals didn't know what happened, they saw Jia Xu and Liu Ye's expressions changing drastically, and they all had guesses in their minds.

"Zilong, go out and prepare for the expedition." Liu Ye took a deep breath and said, "Wenhe, Fengxiao, Ziyang, Meng Qi, Gongming, Zhonghua and others stay, and the rest can go out for now."

Zhao Yun said "Promise". It was a pity that he could not attend Liu Ye's core meeting, but he believed that as long as he worked hard in the future, he would one day become one of the core members of the General.

All of a sudden, most of the civil and military personnel in the army left, leaving only Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai and other important ministers.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Guo Jia coughed a few times and said concernedly: "General, what happened, why don't you tell me?"

Liu Ye looked gloomy and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you have left Hangu Pass in the east."

"What?"

Five days ago, Luoyang City.

"Since all ministers have nothing to do, please retreat from the court."

Liu Bian glanced at the officials on the left and right in the main hall, stood up, and walked into the palace with the support of the eunuchs.

"Are you ready?" Liu Bian walked out of the palace hall, his expression suddenly became excited, and there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes, as if he was going to have an adventure next.

The little eunuch next to him whispered: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Tang Guolao is waiting outside Wuyang Gate and has prepared his car. Please ask your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen and King Chen Liu to change into the clothes of eunuchs and maids, and go out first." .”

"Well, in times of crisis, it doesn't matter if you change your clothes." Liu Bian waved his hand nonchalantly, and then walked towards Changxin Palace.

"Why are you here, Your Majesty?" Queen Tang Ji looked like she had no backbone. After seeing Liu Bian, she breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned forward, and the little bird caught Liu Bian lovingly.

"Haha, you changed too quickly." Liu Bian looked at his beloved Tang Ji with a smile. She had already changed into the clothes of a palace maid, and her body was extremely thin, which made him feel distressed.

"Don't worry." Liu Bian consoled him, "When we get to Xiapi, Cao Aiqing will be a loyal minister. We will be safe then."

"Everything about me is at your Majesty's disposal," Tang Ji said softly.

"Brother Imperial!" King Chenliu and Liu Xie on the side walked over with a calm face: "Although the general holds great power, he treats His Majesty and us with great courtesy and treatment. Compared with the domineering general Liang Ji at the time, Isn't the powerful minister Huo Guang much stronger? Besides, the emperor brother can guarantee that when I get to General Cao, my situation will be better than today?"

"Royal brother." Liu Bian frowned when he heard this, stared at Liu Xie and said, "Why don't you change your clothes? Hurry up, do you know?"

Liu Xie was still wearing gorgeous royal clothes and did not put on eunuch clothes, which naturally made Liu Bian quite dissatisfied.

"Why don't you change your clothes quickly? Why are you lingering here? Tang Guozhang has been waiting outside Wuyang Gate for a long time." Liu Bian scolded Liu Xie.

"Brother Emperor, why bother?" Liu Xie sighed and urged: "Just listen to my advice and don't go."

"What, do you want to go against me?" When Liu Bian saw Liu Xie disobeying him, his face suddenly darkened, and then he put on the airs of an imperial brother.

"Brother Emperor, if you want to go, go ahead." Liu Xie's young face showed a firm look: "I want to stay in Luoyang."

"You!" Liu Bian was furious. He pointed at him with trembling arms. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, King Chen Liu has really grown up. He doesn't even listen to me, the emperor."

"Since you want to be a caged bird, let it be up to you. I don't want to be a king in name only."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, fluttered his sleeves and walked into the inner room. Under the service of the eunuch and maid, he took off his court clothes and put on the eunuch's clothes.

"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager He walked up to Liu Xie and said lovingly: "How can you talk to your imperial brother like this? He is the emperor in public, and his brother in private. You are too rude."

"Mother." Liu Xie said sternly: "You might as well persuade Brother Wang to listen to my advice. After all, the general is the queen of the clan and is of the same line as us. Even if he takes over the power, he will not lack etiquette. But if he defected to Cao Cao , how do you know he’s not the next Wang Mang?”

"But..." Queen Mother He frowned and said, "We can't just let Liu Yuqing take over the power like this, right? Bian'er is already so old, when will he be able to take power?"

"Mother." Liu Xie said patiently: "Now the general holds a large army, defeats Xiqiang, Pinghuangjin, and conquers Jizhou, and his prestige shocks the world. It's okay for the emperor to entrust him with power for the time being. When he is crowned, he will naturally be justified. Asking the general to return to power, but the emperor's brother defected to Cao Cao, isn't this tantamount to losing authority?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Bian walked out and scolded Liu Xie coldly: "I will ask you one last question, are you leaving or not?"

Liu Xie shook his head stubbornly: "Brother Emperor, I won't leave."

"Okay!" Liu Bian sneered, and then said to Tang Ji and Queen Mother He: "Yu'er, Queen Mother, let's go. The emperor's carriage has been waiting outside Wuyang Gate for a long time."

"well."

Queen Mother He reluctantly glanced at King Chen Liu, and finally followed Liu Bian and walked out.

Liu Xie stared at the backs of the three of them, sighed, and showed a painful expression, not knowing what to say.

Outside Wuyang Gate, Tang Hao was circling back and forth anxiously, with sweaty palms in his hands. Once this matter is exposed, it will be a head-turning matter.

He looked at the city gate from time to time, wondering why your majesty and the others still didn't come out?

As if sensing Tang Mao's thoughts, the city gate finally opened slowly, and a group of eunuchs and maids walked out with their heads lowered.

Tang Mao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the face of a palace maid. It was his biological daughter Tang Ji. There were also Queen Mother He and Liu Bian beside them. Although they were all disguised, Tang Hao naturally saw it.

"You guys, come with me." Tang Mao walked forward and ordered several eunuchs and maids.

"promise."

Two palace maids and a eunuch followed Tang Hao to a deserted place, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother has finally come out, but the minister is waiting impatiently." Tang Mao breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll wait until we get in the car." Liu Bian immediately ordered.

"Okay, get in the car quickly."
