A farce, with Li Jue leaving irresponsibly, Guo Si became a little embarrassed in front of the palace. He glanced at the direction where Li Jue left, came to Liu Xie and said, "I disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me. I will still have official duties to deal with me first."

"Please give me a gift, General Guo." Liu Xie nodded, turned his head to look at Yang Biao and others, and smiled and said, "Thank you all, I am preparing for dinner. If you don't dislike it, you might as well come together."

Guo Si, who was originally about to leave, stopped hearing this.

Originally, no matter what, when Yang Biao and others knew that Li Jue was surrounded, they rushed over at all costs, and even tried to protect each other. As the person involved, it was normal for Liu Xie to express his gratitude, but Guo Si obviously did not want Liu Xie to have such an opportunity to meet the ministers alone.

Guo Si didn't care about the trouble in the palace, but Guo Si could never allow him to meet these ministers alone, especially recently Guo Si always felt that this little emperor was a little uncontrollable. Although Liu Xie would ask him for his opinion on everything and would not make decisions without authorization, it seemed that Liu Xie could convince himself every wish, and he felt like he was led by this little doll. Li Jue was fine. He believed that he could do something, so he wouldn't say much, but Guo Si was meticulous. Although he was not very talented, he could always feel something was wrong. At this moment, seeing Liu Xie invite everyone, regardless of the timing or excuse, it was quite appropriate. As the party involved, there was no excuse to stop him.

If Li Jue had been here at this time, he would have been simple and he would have spoken to stop and refuse. But if it were Guo Si, when he saw Liu Xie invite everyone, he felt that it was wrong, but he could not stop it directly and arrogantly like Li Jue.

But having no way to stop it does not mean that there is no way to intervene. Guo Si just hesitated for a moment, then gave up his plan to leave immediately, and bowed: "Since Your Majesty invites you, it is naturally not easy to reject the last general. In this way, I will bother Your Majesty."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows. This guy was really shameless and stayed. By the way, weren’t you going to leave just now?

"Thank you Your Majesty for your hospitality, I will be disrespectful." Yang Biao glanced at Guo Si, bowed to Liu Xie with a smile.

After saying that, the group followed Liu Xie into the palace in a mighty way. Liu Xie's performance today was really amazing. Although most people know that even if Liu Xie really stretched his neck and let Li Jie chop, Li Jie might not dare to do this, but knowing that it is one thing, but it is another to face it.

Even though this incident actually seemed like a farce from beginning to end, Liu Xie's previous calmness, treating thousands of troops as if nothing was missing, and the momentum General Li Jue was suppressed, made many ministers feel that he saw hope for the revitalization of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Guo Si being by his side, the scene would probably be even more enthusiastic.

The dishes of this era are mostly cooked, and the taste is not very good in Liu Xie's opinion, but when he first came here and his situation was obviously not optimistic, Liu Xie did not think about improving the food immediately.

The dinner that should have been lively, but the atmosphere became extremely strange because of Guo Si's presence. Finally, after Yang Biao and others stood up and said goodbye, the dinner came to an end.

After seeing off Guo Si and his ministers, Yang Ding, who had already hidden himself, returned to Liu Xie's sight.

"Your Majesty!" Outside Chengming Palace, Yang Ding looked at Liu Xie with admiration. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had learned from the palace guards that Liu Xie was calmly facing the three armies alone. He couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known that Li Jue would not dare to do anything, he would have followed him to show his loyalty, and would not have been at a loss when facing Liu Xie's smiley eyes like now. However, after this incident, he respected Liu Xie more and more. Not everyone had the courage to face the three armies alone. Yang Ding, who had been on the battlefield, knew very well that when the momentum of thousands of troops was connected together, the pressure alone would be enough to scare ordinary people. At least he asked himself that he did not have the courage, let alone Liu Xie was still a doll under eleven years old.

"Okay, get up." After waved his hand, Liu Xie was completely disappointed with this subordinate. He lived in big things and forgot his righteousness when he saw small profits. He was talking about such a person. Not to mention that he was not capable, even with the courage of Wen Hou and Zhuge's wisdom, such a person could not do anything big. Sometimes, from a person's personality, he could roughly see the achievements of this person in this life.

You can learn without ability, but if you lack enough courage, no matter how great your ability is, it will be useless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Ding quickly stood up, looked around and said, "Your Majesty, after you left, I will meet Eunuch Wei."

"Oh?" Liu Xie looked at Yang Ding in surprise: "Why didn't he come to see me by himself?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the guards in the palace are still Li Jue and Guo Si's troops, so he dare not show up." Yang Ding bowed and said.

"Where are people?" Liu Xie nodded. Although the palace guards have not made things difficult for him because of Yang Ding and Zhang Xiu in recent times, it does not mean that these people are loyal to him. As long as Li and Guo are still there, including the group of people secretly gathered by him, they may turn against him at any time.

"I am afraid that it will alarm others, so I arranged Eunuch Wei to Yilan Palace." Yang Ding bowed quickly and said.

"It's done well." Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, patted Yang Ding's shoulder, and walked straight towards Yilan Palace.

Most of the guards in the palace were used to monitor Liu Xie. As for Yilan Palace, not many people paid attention to it. In addition, Yang Ding was the head general of the palace, so it was impossible to arrange people around Liu Xie without knowing it, but it was not difficult to put a few people in Yilan Palace.

At that moment, under the leadership of Yang Ding, Liu Xie went to Yilan Palace. He was just seeing Tang Ji standing in the garden alone in the courtyard, staring at the sky blankly. The unshakable sorrow between her eyebrows made people feel distressed.

"I've seen the emperor's sister-in-law!" Liu Xie stepped forward and bowed to Tang Ji slightly. The Han ruled the world with filial piety. Although Liu Xie was the emperor, he could not mess with the rules.

"I'm here to see Your Majesty." Tang Ji was not surprised when she saw Liu Xie. After bowing her head, she looked at Yang Ding behind Liu Xie and said softly: "Your Majesty, come with me."

Liu Xie nodded, turned his head to look at Yang Ding and said, "You are waiting outside the hall, don't let someone get close."

"Here!" Yang Ding quickly responded and turned around and left.

"Is the emperor's sister-in-law still used to it?" Following Tang Ji, there was a faint fragrance in the air. Liu Xie sighed in his heart. Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was the most energetic age, but from this emperor's sister-in-law, he could feel a strong silence, which was regrettable.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm very nice here." Tang Ji smiled slightly, and shook her head and said, "It's just that the palace is so deserted."

Of course, it’s not that there is no popularity in the palace, but that her identity is there. What she sees every day are just some palace people. Even if Liu Xie is just a puppet emperor now, his identity is there. And as Liu Xie’s prestige is getting bigger and bigger, how many people dare to disrespect her.

This is what is called emptiness, loneliness and coldness?

This sentence flashed through his mind, and Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh.

"What is Your Majesty laughing at?" Tang Ji turned her head and looked at Liu Xie in confusion.

"Some funny things." Liu Xie smiled and said, "If the emperor's sister-in-law feels deserted, I will send a few cats and dogs and cubs here one day."

"Cat and dog?" Tang Ji looked at Liu Xie in confusion, not understanding the relationship between them, but did not ask too much, just nodded and said, "thank you, my Majesty."

"A small thing."

The two chatted all the way into Yilan Palace. Under the strange gaze of several palace maids, Tang Ji waved them away and took Liu Xie to a side hall. Wei Zhong brought a woman to greet Liu Xie and bowed to greet him.

"What happened?" Liu Xie found a place to sit down. Seeing Tang Ji leaving with the woman very smart, he couldn't help but secretly praised the woman for being sensible. Then he turned his head to look at Wei Zhong and frowned.

Until now, although he knew about it, he still didn't puzzle how this happened.

Wei Zhong was about to happen to Zhang's mansion and to let Zhang Xiu go out of the city without authorization, and then he said that the matter of Zou was detained.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "Guo Si and Li Jue are really ready to take action."

"Your Majesty has made it clear. I have found out that Li Jue will hold a banquet to entertain Fan Chou tomorrow. I think he will take action." Wei Zhong bowed and said.

"You did a good job in this matter." Liu Xie nodded. If Wei Zhong had not been smart enough to send Zhang Xiu away in advance, but brought Zhang Xiu back to the palace, Li Jue would not have retreated so easily tonight: "That woman just now is Zou?"

“That’s right.”

"Let her stay in Yilan Palace for the time being and pretend to be a palace maid." Liu Xie said in a deep voice: "In addition, you have been unable to continue to stay in the city these days, so Li Jue may not be able to give up easily."

"Thank you for your understanding." Wei Zhong said gratefully.

"It just so happens that I will give you an edict later. You will go to Anding with the edict, meet Zhu Jun, and ask him to meet Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and help them seize Li Meng's military power." Liu Xie said in a deep voice.

"Sister obeys the order."

In fact, there is another sentence that Liu Xie did not say. In addition to assisting Zhang Ji’s uncle and nephew, Liu Xie had another meaning. He hoped that Zhu Jun could seize some military power.
