Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 203 Fifteen-year-old swan song

  Li Ru came to the Jingfu Hall of Yong'an Palace, and waved his hand to let the guarding soldiers open the gate of the palace.

Since the last time Cao Cao failed to rob the emperor, although the deposed emperor Liu Bian was still placed here, a lot of soldiers have been added, especially all the guards have been replaced with Xiliang soldiers, and this Jingfu Palace has been replaced. Surrounded by a crowd, it can be said that without Dong Zhuo's personal order, no one can approach here.

  The closed door of the temple was suddenly pushed open, and the sunlight cut into the hall from the door like a sharp sword...

The dust aroused by the opening of the temple door was flying in the sunlight, covering the temple like a layer of veil, just like the smoke shrouded outside the statue, trying to separate the inside of the temple from the outside of the temple, and constructing a sacred space. safe area. It's a pity that this kind of isolation is so weak and weak. Six armored soldiers rushed through this layer of tulle in bold strides with their ring-headed knives. A veil of mystery.

  Li Ru slowly crossed the threshold of the palace, stood with his back to the sun, his face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice was faint: "May I ask where King Hongnong is?"

  In the main hall, Hongnong King Liu Bian, who had not seen the sun for many days, had pale skin and a gloomy expression. He stretched out his hands in front of him and tried hard to block the glare of the sun. His arms were thin and his veins were exposed...

  The soldiers on both sides saw that King Hongnong did not respond in the main hall, stared at him, and shouted loudly: "Where is King Hongnong! Come quickly to receive the imperial edict!"

   Li Ru sighed, and ordered to the left and right: "...Go get the table and come here, and put it here." Li Ru pointed to the area at the entrance of the main hall that was illuminated by the sun.

   After a while, the tables and seats were set up. Li Ru walked slowly to the table, stretched out his hand to invite him, and said, "King Hongnong, may I come to have a chat?"

  Hongnong Wang Liu Bian hid in the shadows, his voice hoarse and dull: "You...what do you want to do?"

   "The sun is warming, why don't King Hongnong move?" Li Ru said calmly, but there was a sense of intolerance in his voice.

  Liu Bian hesitated for a while, but finally stood up, walked unsteadily to the desk, sat down, closed his eyes, and felt the sun shining on him...

  Li Ru was also sitting opposite Liu Bian, looking at King Hongnong in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

   This is the former Son of Heaven...

   This is the former God-given person...

   This is the former Lord of the World...

  But now, it's like a rotten dead wood...

   "You...do you want to harm me?" Liu Bian closed his eyes, let the sun shine on his face, and said in a weak voice. Liu Bian seemed to have a premonition. Ever since the change of the palace wall that day, when he took his younger brother Liu Xie and fled to Beiman Mountain at night, Liu Bian had already had an ominous premonition...

   "..." Li Ru was silent.

Liu Bian didn't get a response from Li Ru. He lowered his head and squinted his eyes to see Li Ru's expression clearly. Unfortunately, Li Ru kept his back to the sun, and his face seemed to be hidden in the darkness. Liu Bian tried hard for a long time, but he still couldn't see it. clear.

   Liu Bian was silent for a while, then laughed nervously, "Hehe, hehe..."

But after a few short laughs, Liu Bian suddenly reached out and grabbed the table in front of him, his hands were bruised, he leaned forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "I would like to be a common man, can I be spared? what?"

   "..." Li Ru remained silent.

  In the quiet hall, only the sound of Liu Bian's rapid breathing remained.

  Liu Bian let out a few "clucks" in his throat, and slowly let go of the table with both hands, and slumped down.

  Li Ru beckoned back, and one of his subordinates had brought a jug of wine and put it on the table. Li Ru looked at Liu Bian and said slowly: "...take this medicine, you can ward off evil..."

   Liu Bian leaned back, shaking his hands again and again, his face full of fear.

  Death is too cruel for a teenager. Liu Bian has been pampered and spoiled since he was born, and the hardships he has experienced in his life are not as much as those he has experienced in the past few months. Even so, he still hopes that he can live on instead of dying in such a humiliating way...

  This is not how a royal should die!

Li Ru looked at the panic-stricken Liu Bian, sighed, and said: "In the past, the Liu family started from the common people, fought hard to conquer the world with swords, fought for eight years, pacified the universe, and established the emperor's pole... The banquet of the Hongmen, although knowing the death , and still go to the banquet calmly, without him, it is not a great talent and general plan, but it is impossible to be wise and brave...Drinking this wine today is due to bad luck, and it is not the fault of King Hongnong..."

When Li Ru talked about Liu Bang's great achievements, it meant that the Liu family's world was also taken from others. The so-called winner and loser, if Liu Bang's luck was a little bit bad when he went to the Hongmen Banquet, it must be the same as Liu Bian now. the result of…

  In addition, Li Ru also has some meanings to motivate Liu Bian—

You are not wrong. The biggest reason for this result is that you do not have the luck of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, as a person with the blood of the Liu family flowing in your body, please be like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and be brave even if you die face it...

   Liu Bian listened blankly, and suddenly two lines of tears fell silently from the corners of his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "...after I die, please take the gauze and cover my face..."

  Li Ru nodded, got up and bowed, and said: "... Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off..." After the ceremony, Li Ru stood and took a deep look at Liu Bian, and then signaled the soldiers to leave the hall.

   "Where is ... Tang Ji?" Liu Bian asked suddenly when Li Ru was about to step out of the hall.

"...It disappeared during the chaos in the past, and it seems to have been heard in Yingchuan..." After Li Ru answered, he paused again, and found that Hongnong King Liu Bian had no other questions to ask, so he withdrew from the main hall and handed over the hall. The door closes.

  This may be the greatest respect Li Ru can give Liu Bian before he dies...

  The door of the main hall was closed with a bang, and the sunlight quickly disappeared from the main hall, leaving only boundless darkness, which completely engulfed the thin figure who fell behind the table.

  Liu Bian looked up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the roof of the hall, and cast it towards the endless sky, his lips trembled slightly, he was muttering something in a low voice...

Li Ru, who was standing with his back to the gate of the main hall, heard Liu Bian in the main hall uttered a sound of crying or laughing, and then sang hoarsely: "How difficult is it for me to give up everything? Chengxi retreats to guard the vassal. The rebellious minister sees the oppression and his life will not be extended, and the passing away will go to you, and you are suitable for Youxuan!"

   On that day, King Hongnong drank dove wine and was poisoned to death in Yong'an Palace at the age of fifteen...

   Chitu can travel thousands of miles a day, all relying on wine and meat, but when there is no food, no wine and meat, he complains to Guan Yu: "I want to eat meat!"

   Guan Yu was very impatient, he didn't have any wine or meat to eat, so he drove Chitu away, saying: "Go back and eat horse food!"

   The next day, Ma Su wore mourning.
