The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 136 Kill! Kill! Kill them all!
"no……"

Even when Liu Xie left the palace and headed for Changle Palace alone, he was still chewing on these two words:

"Cai Zhonglang is really... Alas!"

The jade carriage stopped at Cai Yan's residence, and Liu Xie walked straight in after having someone inform her.

After living in the palace for such a long time, Cai Yan and others have decorated their residences according to their own preferences.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see several Han Dynasty poems hanging on the wall.

They are all written on newly produced paper. The handwriting is elegant and generous, with flying white script embellished in it. Although there is no decoration, they seem to have become the best ornaments.

After passing through the hall filled with the scent of ink, there is a small surprise.

There is no more Han Dynasty prose writing, but only the curling aroma of incense and a few ancient guqins on display, which looks like the changing scenery of later generations.

On one of the guqins, the tail was slightly brown, and it was obviously the famous Jiaowei guqin.

"Cai Zhonglang was really willing to pass on this zither to Mr. Cai."

"Hao Zhong" by Duke Huan of Qi, "Rao Liang" by King Zhuang of Chu, "Lv Qi" by Sima Xiangru and "Jiao Wei" by Cai Yong are collectively known as the four famous Chinese zithers.

Liu Xie walked forward and stroked the strings of the Jiaowei Qin, but he did not feel anything new about it. It was just like an ordinary guqin.

Cai Yan packed up her clothes and walked over slowly: "My father said that he is too involved in the world now and can no longer hear the sound of this Jiaowei Qin, so he passed it on to me, a commoner, to maintain it."

Does the guqin still have a voice?

Liu Xie was shocked and felt that this group of literati were becoming more and more mysterious.

When he looked up, Liu Xie felt a little surprised.

He can't read the piano, but people can understand it.

Today, Cai Yan rarely wore mourning clothes, but only appeared in public in a long gown with curved hems.

This dress is tight all over, long enough to drag on the ground, but also long enough to walk without revealing the feet, and is very neat.

When wearing this curved-hem gown, the collar is often cross-collared, and each collar is very low, so that the inner garment can be seen. Often, if several pieces of clothing are worn inside, several collars must be exposed.

At this moment, Cai Yan's outer layer is sewn purple rolling clouds, and further inside is smoky evergreen and lotus-colored grass patterns. The colors of each layer gradually become lighter, and it feels like when you peel off the whole layer, you will get a jade figure.

"Mr. Cai has really good taste."

Cai Yan didn't know whether the emperor was talking about her hall or her underwear, so she could only avoid the emperor's gaze and ask why he came here.

"I have a headache, so I came to visit Mr. Cai."

Liu Xie found Cai Yan's bed with ease and lay down on it.

"Master Cai has massaged me before, and the effect was quite good. I would like to trouble Master Cai again today."

Cai Yan didn't expect Liu Xie to be so frivolous today, and she looked out the door nervously.

Seeing that there was no one around, Cai Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with some resentment, she walked to Liu Xie's side, gathered her skirt, and gently sat down.

"There are so many doctors in the palace, why don't you go find them to give you a massage?"

"I only like Mr. Cai."

……

Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Today's emperor behaved a little too abnormally!

Especially the words just now made Cai Yan's neck turn pink again.

Cai Yan slowly bent down and gently pressed her fingers on Liu Xie's back.

"The calluses on Mr. Cai's hands seem to be a bit heavy."

Cai Yan often played the piano and practiced her skills. Even when she was not playing, she would always read books, write and draw. Naturally, her fingers were not as soft as those of an ordinary woman.

Liu Xie's words frightened Cai Yan, and her fingers bounced away from Liu Xie as if they had been electrocuted: "Your Majesty doesn't like it?"

"like."

After getting Liu Xie's approval, Cai Yan felt relieved and put her hand on it again.

However, Cai Yan's face was slightly frowned, and she was obviously still thinking about Liu Xie's abnormal behavior today.

"Your Majesty said he had a headache, but what serious matter did he encounter?"

Liu Xie admitted this directly, and responded with his head buried in Cai Yan's bed: "Well, the Grand Master insisted on deciding with me today on the number of concubines to marry...hiss!!!"

Cai Yan was distracted and actually pressed her fingers hard into Liu Xie's body, causing Liu Xie to scream in pain.

Cai Yan reacted and quickly raised her hand, but she neither asked any questions nor apologized, as if to say, "Your Majesty, please confess yourself."

"I argued with the Grand Master for a long time, and finally decided on the position of Queen and two Noble Consorts."

Three people!

Cai Yan finally couldn't help it——

"Your Majesty's queen must be Lord Weiyang, right?"

"Yes."

"..."

However, at this point, Liu Xie refused to respond, which made Cai Yan use more force.

"hiss!"

Liu Xie took a deep breath and said, "One of the two concubines is the daughter of Dong Cheng, the general of the Northern Army. She came to inform Lord Weiyang about his marriage last time. Lord Cai should have seen her."

Cai Yan became increasingly nervous. Although it was already a frosty month, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.

However, Cai Yan still kept her voice steady: "Yes."

"I have seen that woman before. She has white teeth, bright eyes, fragrant cheeks and rosy cheeks. She is graceful and attractive. She is indeed worthy of the position of imperial concubine."

Liu Xie also echoed: "Indeed."

However, the bloodline of the Dong family seems to be abnormal.

Dong Cheng and Liu Xie have also seen it, and that arm is as thick as their own head...

He also met Dong Cheng's daughter once later.

She always looks like a little bird, with a soft and boneless figure, which makes people feel pity...

Liu Xie couldn't believe that a strong man like Dong Cheng could give birth to a daughter so delicate and tender, as if she was not his biological daughter!
So is Dong Bai.

However, having just left the golden hairpin age, she has completely left behind her previous childishness.

If Dong Bai's round face could still reveal some of Master Dong's shadow, but now that she has grown up and her face has revealed the unique charm of a woman, she has completely separated from Master Dong and it is impossible to imagine them together...

Does it mean that the uglier a man is, the prettier his daughter will be?
It seems that I will have to recruit Pang Tong into the palace in the future... Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!

Liu Xie felt that letting Cai Yan give him a massage was a mistake!
He turned around and glanced at Cai Yan with resentment, but Cai Yan still did not intend to apologize -

"Then your majesty, what about the other person?"

At this moment, Cai Yan had completely given up and didn't even give Liu Xie any massage. Instead, she stared at Liu Xie's lips, expecting the next name to pop out.

"Is there another person?"

Liu Xie sat up, the tenderness in his eyes almost melting Cai Yan -

"There is another person, the daughter of the great scholar Fu Wan, Fu Shou."

Oh, so it is...

Wait! Who???

Cai Yan's smile froze on her face before it could even bloom.

! ! ! ! !
Five thunder strikes!

The pink face that was so charming just now turned pale instantly!

"Good, good, Fu Cainu, you are very knowledgeable, beautiful and intelligent, good, good..."

Cai Yan no longer knew what she was saying, her lips kept trembling, and her thoughts were in complete chaos.

"Does Cai think it's good too? Then I feel relieved."

Liu Xie smiled brilliantly.

"Since you have decided to make them queens and concubines, they should learn etiquette as early as possible."

"Especially Weiyang Jun. Lady Cai also knows that she has an eccentric personality. She may be casual in the past, but when the time comes to appoint a queen, it will affect the reputation of the court, so she must be taught carefully."

"I have thought about it. Even if the female officials in the palace have a long career, how can they have as deep a study of etiquette as Master Cai?"

"Besides, Weiyang Jun is close to Mr. Cai. With Mr. Cai teaching her, I don't have to worry about Weiyang Jun not studying hard."

Liu Xie pounded his fist into his palm: "Oh, right! It just so happens that Master Cai also knows Dong Cheng's daughter and Fu Shou. Anyway, teaching one is the same as teaching two. Master Cai, why don't you teach them all at once?" Cai Yan still had a blank thought.

……

So in your majesty's mind, I am just a woman who knows some etiquette and writing?

Recalling his first meeting, the emperor asked him to compose a poem.

This reminds me of the banquet at Hongtai, where the emperor gave the poem to Fu Shou.

Thinking back to the manifesto not long ago, the emperor finally held it in his hands and never issued it...

Cai Yan finally realized that in Liu Xie's heart, she might just be a literati after all...

His face gradually became miserable.

The makeup on her face that was specially applied for Liu Xie had completely lost its color.

She saluted Liu Xie stiffly: "I obey your orders, my lady."

But unexpectedly, Liu Xie went even further than Cai Yan had imagined.

"By the way, when a woman gets married, she also needs to learn the art of sex."

"Since Master Cai has agreed to teach them etiquette, why not teach them the art of sex as well?"

Cai Yan looked at Liu Xie in disbelief, and tears finally overflowed from her eyes.

What is this nonsense?

Why can the emperor say such words?

Teach other women the etiquette of marrying their loved ones.

Do you also want to teach other women the art of sex after they marry your sweetheart?

Your Majesty, you clearly know what I mean!
Now you say this, do you want to kill me?
Cai Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer.

Cai Yan threw all the demeanor of famous masters, the precepts for women, and the relationship between rulers and subjects behind her. She got up and left without caring about the emperor being beside her, completely bursting out with all the grievances she had suppressed.

However, as soon as Cai Yan stood up, she was pulled back into bed by a brute force.

It's the emperor.

Cai Yan wanted to struggle, but found that the emperor pressed her legs directly on her body, restraining her movements.

"What exactly does your majesty want to do?"

Cai Yan's hair was disheveled and tears were streaming down her eyes.

The eyes that used to be lively now lost their luster and turned gray.

"I don't know when I have offended Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty wants to humiliate me like this?"

"Your Majesty, are you really going to be so ruthless?"

……

Yurong's lonely tears are running out, and a spring pear blossoms with rain.

The lips that Cai Yan had bitten had long lost all color. She gave up struggling and lay under Liu Xie like a dead body, without any movement.

Liu Xie realized that he seemed to have gone too far...

"Mr. Cai, that's not what I meant."

"I just mentioned the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, a total of three people, but I didn't mention the women of other positions!"

Liu Xie said in distress, "In fact, when we were discussing the marriage just now, Mr. Cai's father, Mr. Cai Zhonglang, was also there."

"I said at the time that I wanted to marry Miss Cai and make her my imperial concubine."

"As a result, Cai Zhonglang refused to agree, insisting that Lady Cai was already married and it was not appropriate for her to be ranked with Dong Cheng's daughter and Fu Shou."

"I argued with him for a long time... but your father, you know that once he makes up his mind, no one can change it! It was like this when we conferred the title of Duke to the Grand Tutor last time, and it is still like this now!"

"Helpless, I can only compromise and only grant the Cai family the status of beauty..."

"Eh? Mr. Cai, why aren't you crying anymore? And your face has turned so red? And your body is suddenly so hot?"

……

Cai Yan wanted to die even more than before...

Regardless of who the emperor was, Cai Yan's iron fist madly struck Liu Xie's chest.

"I won't marry you! I won't marry you! I won't marry you! How can you bully me like this! I won't marry you!"

Still crying.

But as I cried, I started to laugh again.

Crying and laughing made Liu Xie very suspicious of the mental state of the person under him.

Finally, Liu Xie was in so much pain that he pressed lightly and pressed his whole body completely against Cai Yan.

"You really don't want to marry?"

The sound beside her ear made Cai Yan pause in her crying and her nose twitched a few times——

"Don't marry!"

Liu Xie sighed: "Sure enough, is it all Cai Zhonglang's fault?"

"I will go find him again and tell him that Lady Cai is unwilling to marry me as a beauty..."

He pretended to stand up, but before his waist and abdomen left Cai Yan's body, Cai Yan grabbed him by the collar.

At this moment, Cai Yan was filled with resentment: "Your Majesty, why did you tease me just now? You treat a woman's life event like a joke. Am I so insignificant in your eyes, just a plaything?"

Liu Xie didn't even notice that the way Cai Yan was addressed had changed unconsciously.

However, he still gently stroked Cai Yan's face and wiped away her tears.

"I just want to tell Mr. Cai that in my heart, Mr. Cai is no worse than anyone else."

"If it weren't for etiquette and other reasons, Ms. Cai would be the woman I want to marry the most."

"Especially, I found that Miss Cai loves to daydream. If she finds out that she is only named a beauty, she will inevitably wonder if I dislike Miss Cai..."

"Therefore, I just want to make my words clear, so that Mr. Cai won't be disturbed in the future."

Cai Yan, who was originally still feeling resentful, felt instantly ashamed and angry after hearing Liu Xie's explanation.

But there is still some blame -

"Does Your Majesty think that I am a jealous woman?"

Of course not, you just have a little inferiority complex...

Liu Xie chuckled and said, "If that's the case, can I watch while Master Cai teaches the other ladies the art of sex?"

"No !!!!"

Cai Yan began to feel embarrassed and angry again, and used both hands to try to push Liu Xie away.

Well, not moving at all.

It was only at this time that Cai Yan realized that the emperor was completely overwhelming her.

Moreover, the fabrics used for royal clothing are mostly thin silk.

Even with the clothes blocking her view, Cai Yan could still feel the outline of Liu Xie's body.

But in other words…

It also means that the outline of Cai Yan can also be perceived by Liu Xie.

Not only the outlines, but also some changes in the two of them were clearly visible to each other.

When their eyes met, the two had completely forgotten what etiquette was.

Liu Xie slowly lowered his head, and Cai Yan had already closed her eyes...

At this moment, a palace servant suddenly shouted at the top of his voice outside the door -

"Your Majesty! Shangshu Ling Jia Xu brought Hedong Taishou Zhong Yao a handwritten letter asking for an audience! He said it contained an urgent report from Langzhong Ling Li Ru!"

Damn it!!!

Liu Xie looked up angrily.

Jia Xu! Zhong Yao! Li Ru! I will kill you now!!!
