Although Yan Xiang had a close relationship with him the night before, he drank a lot of wine, but the wine at the end of the Han Dynasty did not have much destiny and it was not easy to get hungover overnight, so he did not delay the next day's interview.

The next morning, at the second hour, after the daily routine of the court agenda, he was basically receiving an envoy sent by the governor of the foreign state. Liu Xie ordered the eunuch to summon Yan Xiang to the palace as soon as possible.

First of all, there is a humble ritual. Yan Xiang should first express his greetings to the emperor on behalf of Yuan Shu, without further explanation.

After the breakup, Yan Xiang took out Yuan Shu's stamp of useful information and began to attack politely and politely:

"...Your Majesty, in September, there are people who watch the astrological signs among Yingchuan. When Yinghuo saw Yinghuo guarding his heart, the general guarding him carefully, and the envoys followed the examination. The Grand Historian said: "Yinghuo is a tyrant, a thief, ailment, ailment, a hunger, and a soldier. If you live in the two houses, you will suffer disaster in March, and receive soldiers in May, and the land will be destroyed in July, and the land will be destroyed in September. Now Yinghuo guards his heart in September, and it is very bad, and the land will be destroyed in September.

Moreover, there are many major disasters in Guanzhong this year. As a result, there will be no rain in March and drought for four months. This is a disaster. In May, Li Jue slaughtered the palace, all officials, and Chang'an officials, civilians and common people were repeatedly destroyed. This is a "received troops". Moreover, Your Majesty abandoned the two capitals and occupied Hongnong. Most of the towns in the world did not accept the order. This is not "destroyed land".

Therefore, General Wei thought that the current situation of Yinghuo and guarding his heart would be in trouble, and the three disasters of the land would be together. The ancient and modern times were extremely dangerous, and it was so serious that the government was not as obscure as that of Qin Shihuang's thirty-sixth year! Only Your Majesty would be careful!"

The thirty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang's heart was not needed to popularize this. Liu Xie himself read "Records of the Grand Historian" and knew that after guarding, the meteors fell from the sky, "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided."

After hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but panic and asked continuously: "Where is Taichangqing? Where is Taishi Ling?"

The Grand Historian Xi Lu had no right to participate in the court meeting directly. The level was too low. Of course, Taichangqing was there, so Guan Ning immediately made a report and said: "I am here."

Liu Xie: "The Grand Historian Ling observed that the September 19th Ying Huo Shuxin was not reported? Could it be that the folk observation was wrong?"

Guan Ning: "I asked Xuan to summon the Grand Historian Xi Lu to the palace. In addition, as far as I know, the court reformed the official system last month, divided the power of the Grand Historian to the Grand Historian, and the two orders of Lingtai, and controlled the history and calendar. Should I report to Zhuge Liang, the Lingtai Order, from Chang'an?"

Liu Xie: "Let Xi Qing report the right way first, and then send someone to summon Zhuge Liang together."

It will take several days to get from Chang'an to Hongnong. However, before Yan Xiang's raid, Liu Xie could not prepare for it, so the first wave will definitely be criticized.

There was a slight chaos in the court. After half an hour, the Grand Historian Xi Lu was called over and hurried into the palace to pay homage. Fortunately, Hongnong City was not big, and the former Hongnong Palace, as the palace, was much smaller than the imperial palace in Luoyang, Chang'an, and it did not waste much time.

Liu Xie just waited, dealing with other things first, leaving Yan Xiang in the hall, and no one thought there was any problem.

After arriving at Qi, Liu Xie didn't talk nonsense and asked directly: "Xi Qing, Yingchuan people reported it. Is there any record in the history of Tai Shi?"

Xi Lu dared not hide it: "I have heard a little about it. At that time, the number of positions had just been split and was under the jurisdiction of Lingtai Order. However, I still had a hand in hand with it, so I knew it. In September, I saw such abnormal celestial phenomena. However, Lingtai Order Zhuge Liang believed that this matter should be recorded seriously. Although there were celestial phenomena, the signs may not necessarily be as stated in the historical books of previous lives. What exactly does it mean? We still need to study and consider what it means."

When Xi Lu reported the right report, Yan Xiang had already been invited to the hall again, so Yan Xiang endured it for a while, and when he had the opportunity to speak, he hurriedly said, "Since Xi Shiling also admitted it, there is no objection to whether the strange phenomenon has ever appeared. As for the signs, there is a conclusion in ancient times, why bother to do this?

Your Majesty, the ancients said: The heart is the Mingtang, the Great Star King, the front and back stars are the sons. That is, the heart host star signs the emperor, the front and back stars are the prince, and the imperial son. Ying Huo wanders around the main star, and the front and back stars lose their ranks. The signs are obvious. All the previous ones were all the misconduct of Your Majesty and the auxiliary government. Although Your Majesty has issued an edict to blame himself, the will of heaven has not been extinguished, which is a warning to Your Majesty for losing the palace and patrol the palace, and the palace has no descendants.

When Emperor Cheng of Han was the first emperor, the Zhao sisters were arrogant and had no descendants, and they dominated the harem, leaving Emperor Cheng without heirs. Ying Huo and the queen of his heart were suddenly killed between the Zhao sisters. The emperor's throne fell into Ai and Pingzhi, and gradually became controlled by Wang Mang. Therefore, when the emperor had no heirs, the disaster of the foreign relatives assisting the government was the first to "the concubines of the foreign relatives who assisted the government had no descendants, and jealousy did not allow other concubines to have a descendant."

Our Han Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. There are three unfilial things. If there is no queen, it is the greatest. Now Your Majesty is grateful to Dong's achievements in saving the Lord. The concubines died violently but did not establish a new queen. Could it be that the general of the chariot and cavalry blocked the king's road and was isolated from the inside and outside? Do you want your Majesty to die without a queen? Do you still want him to have another daughter from Dong Cheng to become an adult and be sent to the palace to be the queen? Only then can your Majesty have a queen?!”

Yan Xiang's words were very lethal, and the celestial phenomena and principles were indeed on his side.

The countermeasure he discussed with Yuan Shu was that this time he mainly attacked Dong Cheng! He said that Dong Cheng had "transformed". Although Dong Cheng did rescue him in April, after half a year, Dong Cheng also "the dragon-slaying hero gradually grew into an evil dragon" and became a vested interest around the emperor.

After Liu Xie was killed in the queen and nobles, he had not yet established a new queen or concubine. He just made up so much trouble with some palace maids who came back to solve the physiological needs of the harem. It was indeed not very conventional.

In this, Dong Cheng has indeed done a lot of inauthentic things, and it is impossible to say that he has no selfishness.

From Dong Cheng's perspective, he worked hard to save the emperor and saved his daughter's life. Dong Cheng also has the desire to power. How could he watch others pick peaches and send their daughter to the palace to steal the position of the new queen? Then didn't Dong Cheng do it in vain?

Yes, Liu Xie gave Dong Cheng a high position as the "General of the Car and Cavalry", which is worthy of his contribution. Dong Cheng's nominal status in the court is even higher than Yuan Shu, second only to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

But Dong Cheng knew in his heart that his high position was unstable. If he could not last long, he would be the first family of foreign relatives, and the title of a chariot and cavalry general would be removed at any time. So he was also thinking about how to hold back the situation.

Of course, the problem of daughter is actually easy to solve, because Dong Cheng himself is not too old. In his thirties and forties, Dong Cheng can find more women even if he has the status. It is not difficult to find a new daughter in a sunrise within a year and then raise her. This way, it will be fine. In this way, he will be mixed with him for a few years, and in thirteen or fourteen years, he will send her new daughter to the palace. By then, Liu Xie is still less than thirty years old, so it will be fine to find a 14-year-old queen.

In fact, Dong Cheng doesn't need Liu Xie to wait that long. Since Dong Cheng was promoted by Dong Zhuo a few years ago, he has started to work hard and the number of descendants has increased significantly. Therefore, he now has several young daughters under the age of three around him, and he can become a queen after 10 years of raising him.

Liu Xie also roughly knew what Dong Cheng was thinking. He didn't want to stimulate Dong Cheng, and wanted to maintain the current delicate balance, so he only solved his physiological needs and did not give the palace maid a title, for fear that "the wife would become a new queen and a new nobleman just after he died" stimulated Dong Cheng, and this delicate balance was maintained between the monarch and the ministers.

Of course, Liu Xie would never really not have a concubine for ten years. He just made Dong Cheng's mood stable for a year or two.

As a result, this became a handle for Yuan Shu to believe that "the emperor was held hostage by his relatives."

Faced with Yan Xiang's aggressive and aggressive remarks, Dong Cheng, who was originally out of the matter today, was naturally furious. He almost immediately waved his hand to signal the warrior to go to the hall and pushed out the nonsense prince's rebel envoy to behead him.

"Yan Xiang! You are so arrogant in front of you. This is the crime of deceiving the king. Where is the warrior?" Dong Cheng was so angry that his beard shook. Since he became the number one hero in the rescue, he has never seen others frame him like this.

"Hahaha, Dong Cheng, you are a thief who deceives the king. I, Yan Xiangsheng, is a Han man, and dies, and I am a Han ghost. I speak up for justice, so why not be afraid of death! Your Majesty, are you being held hostage by Dong Cheng's military power? So you dare not establish a queen and reproduce the imperial heirs? Your Majesty, I know that you are not afraid to say that you are forced by Dong Cheng's military power. If you are held hostage by Dong Cheng, you will use your eyes to hint at me..."

Yan Xiang seemed to be yelling righteously, and was pulled down by the eunuch who was in charge of court etiquette.

If Yan Xiang was a time traveler, he might have said at this moment, "Your Majesty, if you are threatened by Dong Cheng, you will blink."

Not to mention, his loyal and righteous performance really moved many people. King Lang of the Great Honglu immediately stepped out and knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty! Although what Yan Xiang said was arrogance and rude, it is because he was loyal and sincere, and he was considering the royal heirs and spoke for justice, so he should not discuss punishments. Otherwise, he would be afraid that the governor of the state and the generals of the foreign town would really wonder whether Your Majesty was threatened."

Wang Lang's words are subtitled: If Dong Cheng really dares to kill Yan Xiang because Yan Xiang advises the emperor to "the establishment of the queen cannot be delayed", it will confirm that Dong Cheng is guilty of tying the king. At that time, Yuan Shu can be justified and clear the king's side in minutes, and even Zhu Ye in Luoyang has no excuse to stop him!

Unfilial piety is the greatest thing, but Liu Xie has no son, and his wife is not married quickly after he dies. He is very reasonable.

Regardless of whether the celestial phenomena are right or not, Yan Xiang’s suggestions are very stable.

Wang Lang, the Great Master, is equivalent to a minister of foreign affairs. Although the negotiations with his ministers and princes are not strictly considered "diplomatic", Wang Lang has recently become accustomed to the thinking of "appeaseing foreign vassals". When encountering problems, he must stand up.

Liu Xie also hurriedly pushed the boat and signaled to stop it: "Don't be rude to Yan Qing, you are too anxious. No matter what the celestial phenomena are, I cannot let down the hearts of distant people."

In the court, he could only say this first. After resigning from the court, Liu Xie would naturally appease Dong Cheng privately and said: I still support you in my heart. The reason why I am kind to Yan Xiang is just to appease Yuan Shu and not give Yuan Shu the excuse of sending troops to save Wang Qing. I hope you understand my painstaking efforts.

From this we can also see that Dong Cheng has become a bit domineering recently. The emperor did not even speak. He dared to call the eunuchs to drive Yan Xiang down during the court discussion. The seriousness of this strait troupe has indeed been reduced to a higher level.

But there is no way to do this. In history, the court meetings held in Hongnong were all laughing and vain. The place was often just to find a yard with earth walls. There were even curious soldiers from Xiliang outside who were watching the walls, wanting to see what the emperor was like when he went to court. The court was not in the capital, and the majesty and rigor of etiquette and law must have fallen.

Dong Cheng was persuaded by Liu Xie, so he had to endure Yan Xiang first and refused to let him go.

Liu Xie stabilized the rear and said to Yan Xiang with kindness: "The harem and General Wei suggested to rebuild the atmosphere is indeed justified, and I am humbly accepting advice. However, I think the speculations about General Cheqi and Cavalry are not based on the basis of what you said about General Cheqi and Cavalry, so why not take a step back? I will purify the harem, so why not be embarrassed by General Cheqi and Cavalry, how about it?"

Yan Xiang was not giving up, and wanted to make excuses for his death, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, the celestial phenomena warn you, Your Majesty should make a complete and humble rectification. What else can you discuss about this? Should Your Majesty still bargain with God's will? I'm afraid it's not the virtue of a man!"

Liu Xie's face looked very ugly. He knew that if Yuan Shu succeeded and the attack dismantled the legality of Dong Cheng's guard, then he would probably be even less protected by the emperor.

Duan Wei was just a general of Xiliang anyway. Even if he did not harm the people with Li Jue, the princes from all directions would definitely be dissatisfied with Duan Wei alone in presiding over the defense of the imperial center. By then, a bunch of warlords would enter the capital and the Han Dynasty would be completely over.

But Liu Xie just issued a self-destruction a few months ago, which seemed to be quite respectful of God's will. Now people use God to suppress him and directly reject the slightest disrespect for God's will. It is also easy for the princes to catch the handle.

After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Xie almost said in a controversial tone: "This matter is still suspicious. How can the interpretation of the will of heaven be listened to the words of one side? Moreover, the details of the celestial phenomena may not be as you said. I will put them aside for a few days and wait until I summoned Zhuge Liang to the Lingtai Order, and then ask for details."

Yan Xiang knew that the emperor was delaying time, but Yan Xiang was really not easy to cause trouble for this procedural justice request, otherwise he and Yuan Shu would be unreasonable.

So he expressed his opinion that he was willing to wait for the emperor to summon Zhuge Liang to consider these details, "What is the specific evil method of this evil phenomenon, how to interpret it, and how the emperor wants to rectify it."

However, when he was about to come, Yan Xiang still took out another trump card and suggested to the emperor on behalf of Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, General Wei has another advice. Now Your Majesty is sympathetic to the rest of the world and does not want to disturb the people to collect beautiful girls, but the harem must be built. Therefore, General Wei hopes that Your Majesty will be reduced to his post and summon all foreign surnames Mushou and foreign town generals to select beautiful girls from the jurisdiction and send them to Hongnong. Your Majesty will personally decide to seize the positions of concubines. What does Your Majesty think?"

Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng and gritted his teeth: "This discussion is very good, and it can be implemented first."

Of course, Liu Xie knew that as soon as he agreed, it meant that he would at least have to be named Yuan Shu's daughter a concubine. Yuan Shu's suggestion would certainly not be stupid enough to be a married man. He really chose beautiful women from Yuzhou and Nanyang to send them. He must have chosen a suitable age from Yuan Shu's own daughter or niece.

In this way, Yuan Shu squeezed Dong Cheng away from the relationship between the identity of a relative of the foreign country. It is estimated that Yuan Shu was not a person who cared about his daughter's life or death. After his daughter was sent, he would definitely be bullied by other harems or relatives, so Yuan Shu would have an excuse to lead troops to serve the king.

After pacifying Yan Xiang and Yuan Shu behind him with this decree, the court waited for five days and temporarily put the agenda on hold. When Zhuge Liang arrived in Hongnong, he would discuss it in detail. During this period, Liu Xie also took advantage of the delay and made some other preparations.

Yan Xiang was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do, but he just secretly hated in his heart: Zhuge Liang's airs are so big that the emperor sent someone to summon him. He must be a fast horse relay that travels hundreds of miles a day, and he can reach Chang'an in more than a day. But he has to walk nearly four days back? 350 miles away, does it take so long to ride a fast horse?

Zhuge Liang did not take the emperor's destiny seriously! He didn't say anything, so he had to talk about Zhuge Liang's dereliction of duty first.

After finally waiting for five days, on October 11, Zhuge Liang finally rushed into Hongnong. After reporting, he was invited to participate in the court meeting.

After the two sides made arrangements in the palace, before Zhuge Liang could talk about the serious matter, Yan Xiang jumped out: "Your Majesty, I impeached the new Lingtai order Zhuge Liang to be indifferent to the king's order and was carried by Huang Shu. As a court official, he was called to see him and traveled less than a hundred miles a day. If he was so negligent, how could he trust his skills?"

Liu Xie wanted Zhuge Liang to pull him, but Zhuge Liang walked too slowly, which was a bit unreasonable. Liu Xie had to ask quietly: "Zhuge Qing, the impeachment of General Wei's chief clerk, do you have any explanation? Why did Meng Xuanzhao come late?"

Zhuge Liang was still a little uncomfortable with holding a tablet in the posture of a folding fan and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is a reason for me to come late, all because of the angel's words. Your Majesty summoned me to ask about the good and bad luck of the heart of the heart. The sky symbols were summoned. Recently, I made a tool that could make people who don't know the calendar understand the principles of astrology. However, this thing is quite heavy. I asked many carriages and horses to help transport it to Hongnong, so it was delayed."

Liu Xie hurriedly followed the words and said, "It turns out that there is a reason for the matter. In this way, Zhuge Qing is also diligent in government affairs, so he will not be delayed."

Yan Xiang raised his eyebrows, not wanting Zhuge Liang to escape, and interrupted, "Your Majesty should listen to both sides and be clear, and you should not be deceived by Zhuge Liang's words. Since he said that he was late was to carry important tools to explain the celestial phenomena, why not let him bring him to the palace to publicize them, so that the ministers and ministers can open their eyes - Zhuge Liang, do you dare?"

Yan Xiang lowered the volume in the last few words, which was a separate provocation to Zhuge Liang.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity to directly use moral condemnation to instantly kill his opponent.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, but did not speak out, and still asked the emperor respectfully: "If your Majesty allows you, of course you can bring it to the palace for public announcement."

Liu Xie originally wanted to save face for Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know how good Zhuge Liang was. Now, he heard the parties involved say so confidently, so he made an answer: "Come on, bring up the heavy celestial weapon brought by the Lingtai Order from Chang'an."

After a while, a few people hugged the celestial balls of the size of the twenty-eight constellations, plus several concentric planetary ecliptic disks inside, as well as coaxial bases, rotating handles and transmission tooth chain systems, all carried up. Zhuge Liang also checked and calibrated the transmission places at all levels in front of everyone.

Yan Xiang was stunned by the side, and wanted to squirt but didn't know how to squirt.

How to use this thing? It's too professional and not easy to spray. But it seems that it looks amazing just.
