Chapter 506

Liu Xie, in order to avoid Empress He's persecution, was forced to defect to his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong, to preserve his life.

Later, He Jin was killed by the Ten Eunuchs.

Liu Xie couldn't be happier in his heart!

But...

Soon the situation developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Liu Xie originally thought that after He Jin died, the days of living from hand to mouth would be declared over.

But unexpectedly.

The Ten Eunuchs, in order to survive, actually hijacked him and took him to the wilderness.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo bringing troops to arrive in time.

I'm afraid Liu Xie's safety would really be hard to guarantee.

You think it ended here?

The true nightmare belonging to Liu Xie had only just begun!

Because the Dong Zhuo faction needed to depose the Young Emperor Liu Bian to establish prestige and control the capital.

So Liu Xie, this Prince of Chen Liu, became the next Han emperor after Liu Bian.

Dong Zhuo's own attitude toward Liu Xie was still okay.

After all.

Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager Dong barely pulled off a distant relative relationship.

(PS: According to research, actually the two had no relationship at all, just that both were surnamed Dong.)

But this did not mean that the group of Xiliang Army roughs under Dong Zhuo would have a good attitude toward Liu Xie.

For example, Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si, and others.

In their eyes, Liu Xie was almost no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Besides this.

There was also someone in the Xiliang Army called Li Ru.

Although at first glance, he looked like a weak scholar.

But... this person personally poisoned the Young Emperor Liu Bian to death.

Leaving an indelible shadow in Liu Xie's young heart.

With the passage of time.

Liu Xie's situation became increasingly difficult.

Especially after Gu Yi joined the Dong Zhuo camp.

Liu Xie felt that everything in the imperial palace contained potential murderous intent!

Relying on the Han court officials?

That's better to wash up and go to sleep quickly!

The legacy of the Han house was not reflected in the slightest on that group of Han court officials.

On the contrary.

That group of Han court officials were all people who would stop at nothing for their own interests.

For example, Wang Yun.

This fellow had once instigated Liu Xie, saying that after eradicating Dong Zhuo, he would return a bright and clear world of the Han house to him.

Result.

Before Wang Yun could officially start his uprising, he had already been easily killed by Gu Yi.

Liu Xie lost his hope.

Then later.

Liu Xie placed his hope on Fu Wan again.

After all.

Fu Wan and Liu Xie were related by blood.

Fu Wan's daughter, Fu Shou, had long been designated as Liu Xie's childhood sweetheart.

But unexpectedly, this fellow Fu Wan actually directly defected to Gu Yi!

Fu Shou also became one of Gu Yi's concubines.

In the imperial palace, Liu Xie was also in a state of being monitored twenty-four hours a day.

His surroundings were all people planted by Old Dong.

Therefore.

Even when eating and sleeping on weekdays, Liu Xie had to pay attention to the control and expression of his emotions.

Gradually, Liu Xie even intended to accept his fate.

The world of the Han house could not see a glimmer of hope.

Although he was about to become a monarch of a perished state.

But his life could always be kept, right?

At least... Dong Zhuo and Gu Yi still wanted to keep him for the purpose of abdication.

This principle is the same as the meaning of Cao Pi forcing Liu Xie to abdicate in original history.

But... with the birth of his son.

Liu Xie rekindled hope.

He was still young, and his opportunities were still many.

As long as he persisted, persisted until the Dong Zhuo faction fell into decline, he would definitely still have the opportunity to reorganize the mountains and rivers!

Just like Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, back then.

He failed to grasp actual power when he was young.

But relying on his own wisdom, he killed Empress Dowager Dou and won back the government.

Or like Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu.

Making the Han house world revive for the second time!

Liu Xie believed that the arrival of his son meant that the Han house world should not perish here.

As long as he continued to persist, there would always be a day when he saw hope.

But... with the more territory Gu Yi conquered.

The panic in Liu Xie's mind also surged into his heart.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to persist until the day the Dong Zhuo faction declined.

He was afraid that he would be killed by Dong Zhuo and Gu Yi in advance.

These problems lingered in Liu Xie's heart and could never get an answer.

Fortunately.

Liu Xie still had Ma Richen, Shi Sunrui, and others as support by his side.

They suggested that Liu Xie should hide his light and bide his time, waiting for a good opportunity.

Just like this, Liu Xie had always pretended to be very obedient in front of Old Dong.

But... Liu Xie didn't know.

These disguises of his were all things Old Dong had played with and discarded.

In other words.

Just relying on him, to fight with Old Dong?

Don't even look at how many pounds and ounces he has!

Gathering his thoughts.

Just when Liu Xie intended to hold his son and return to the bedroom to rest.

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, as well as the sound of weapons clashing.

Liu Xie, who had experienced big scenes since childhood, naturally knew that this was a sign that something big had happened.

However.

Even if he racked his brains.

For a moment, he couldn't think of where the problem was.
