The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 79: The Direction of the Dragon Banner (Available Tomorrow)

Xun You's mouth opened and closed, like a fish that suddenly escaped from the water.

Now, it seems that whatever he says is wrong.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

On the contrary it was Zhong Yao.

Even though Xun You was his old friend.

Even he himself recognized Xun You's talent.

But he still gave advice and asked Liu Xie to think twice before acting.

"This is a serious matter, we must not be so casual about it."

"I'm not casual."

Liu Xie left the table and held Xun You's hand: "At least, I have never been casual when choosing Gongda."

"..."

Xun You bowed deeply to Liu Xie.

If we say that just now Xun You only recognized Liu Xie as the emperor.

At this moment, Xun You thought that Liu Xie should be his lord.

"Chang'an, Chang'an, deserves long-term peace and stability."

"The war should not have continued here. I hope Gongda will keep Chang'an peaceful until I return."

Without waiting for Xun You's response, Liu Xie came to Cai Yan again.

"It's already tiring to travel by boat and car, and now we have to travel at night. It's really hard work, Mr. Cai."

Cai Yan witnessed everything that happened in the Xuanshi today and had long respected the emperor.

Seeing Liu Xie coming over to comfort her, Cai Yan suddenly became flustered for no apparent reason: "It's okay, it's okay."

"In this case, I'd like to trouble Mr. Cai to ride in my carriage with me."

"Okay... eh?"

When Liu Xie went out this time, he was absolutely not allowed to use the emperor's ceremonial guards.

One is that there is no time to prepare.

Second, the emperor is the foundation of the country after all and cannot be moved lightly.

The emperor left the capital late at night... Once this news gets out, and some people spread it at will, the powder keg of Chang'an may explode at any time.

Therefore, this time when you go out, you must wear fine clothes and travel at night, carrying only the emperor's dragon flag, and act according to your discretion.

So, Liu Xie got on Cai Yan's carriage without Cai Yan knowing what was going on.

In a small room, even the loudest breathing can be heard by each other.

There were only Liu Xie and Cai Yan in the carriage.

Zhang Liao was originally going to come up to guard, but Liu Xie kicked him to the driver's position and asked him to drive the carriage.

"What kind of books does Mr. Cai read on weekdays?"

"Zhouguan, Liji, Zuo Zhuan, Han Shi and so on."

"Are there any you like?"

"They are all classics from different schools. I only dare to pursue the knowledge contained in them and listen to the teachings of the saints. I dare not compare them."

"What book did you read recently?"

"It is the Mao Shi annotated by the great scholar Zheng Kangcheng."

"Like it?"

“I have benefited a lot from what everyone has said.”

Liu Xie smiled softly: "Mr. Cai writes very well, but how come I can't even hear what he says clearly?"

"I'm not asking what you think of those great Confucian classics, I'm asking which book you like."

"Could it be that Mr. Cai has read through all the books but still can't find a book he likes?"

Cai Yan didn't expect Liu Xie to insist on asking her questions, so she could only say: "My favorite is the twenty-three chapters of the Music Book that Liu Zizheng found."

"What was it about?"

"It's not something profound, just common music theory."

"Master Cai also knows about music?"

“I have a little understanding, but I can’t say I know everything.”

"How about playing a song for me?"

After saying this, Liu Xie himself felt it was abrupt.

“It’s too cramped inside the car to play.”

Cai Yan said softly: "I, a commoner, can also sing."

There is light at the end of the tunnel! "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cai."

Cai Yan did not open her voice, but sang a long Yuefu poem in a calm tone:

"As white as the snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon between the clouds~"

"I heard that you have two minds, so I came to settle it with you~"

"Today is the drinking competition, tomorrow is the drinking competition~"

"Walking along the Imperial Ditch, the water flows east and west~"

"Sad and sad, there is no need to cry at a wedding~"

"I wish to find a like-minded person, and we will be together till old age~"

Cai Yan's voice was cold and clear, as if she was born with a hint of resentment.

Zhang Liao, who was driving a carriage outside, felt his scalp tingling when he heard singing behind him.

"What is your hobby? Listening to such sad music in the middle of the night?"

……

Cai Yan only realized this when she was almost finished singing.

"Bai Tou Yin"

According to legend, it was written by Zhuo Wenjun, who became a widow at a young age. The first half of the poem is full of resentment about her marriage.

It just so happened that Cai Yan had also had this experience, and she unconsciously put herself into the story, and her singing was heartbreaking.

Later I realized that it was inappropriate to sing such sad music in front of the emperor.

Cai Yan looked at Liu Xie in fear, but suddenly heard a snoring sound.

"His Majesty?"

Cai Yan called out softly, only to find that Liu Xie had fallen asleep leaning against the pillar of the carriage without her noticing.

He could fall asleep even in such a bumpy carriage... Cai Yan complained to Liu Xie in her heart, but her eyes became gradually more presumptuous.

Since there was no one else around, Cai Yan moved a few inches towards Liu Xie.

Just now in the Xuanshi Hall, although I was close, I couldn't see his face clearly.

But now, Cai Yan discovered that Liu Xie was truly outstanding in appearance.

Even though her eyes were closed, they were still slightly upturned.

The pillars in the courtyard are full and if they grow bigger in the future, they will become even more handsome.

Ok?
Cai Yan then discovered that there were three tiny moles above Liu Xie's left eye.

These three moles are like a dome, hidden between the eyebrows and covering the top of the eyes, and cannot be seen by outsiders.

“Is this the appearance of an emperor?”

Cai Yan looked at it curiously and stared at it for an unknown amount of time.

It was only when the carriage suddenly stopped that Liu Xie's eyelashes flickered, and Cai Yan then looked away.

Liu Xie woke up and felt as if he had just fallen asleep...

"Master Cai? Oh, I was just listening to your singing."

Although he had no memory of it, this did not prevent Liu Xie from praising it decisively: "The music of the Cai family is really heavenly music! It is so gentle and beautiful that people can't stop listening to it!"

……

Cai Yan lowered her head, trying hard to suppress the urge to curl up the corners of her mouth.

"Song of the White-haired Girl" is a sad song, how can it be so euphemistic and pleasant?
It turns out that the emperor sometimes tells lies with his eyes open?

Liu Xie shook his aching neck and felt the carriage stop, so he lifted the curtain and asked, "Wenyuan, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, we are almost at Meiwu!"

Only then did Liu Xie realize that he had slept for such a long time!
Looking at the sky, Liu Xie was shocked to find that the sky in the east was gradually turning light.
"How long have I slept?"

At the same time, Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan warily, then touched his body...

Well, it should be fine!

"Raise the dragon flag and send a message to the Meiwu garrison."

Dragon Banner Morning!

A dragon banner with the word [汉] on it was slowly raised by the strong man and stood at the top of the team.

There is blue sky above your head and vastness under your feet.

This flag has not been raised in Guanzhong for more than two hundred years.

The last time it appeared was when Emperor Guangwu of Han brought it to Guanzhong to lead the army in person.

And this time, it still undertakes the same mission——

That is, to guard the Han Dynasty!
