Forty, forty-one, forty-two...dark gray steps, spiraling thickly upwards. There were candles burning on the walls on both sides, not beeswax, but stone candles that were developed recently, bright and tasteless, and cheaper than beeswax. …forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty.

From the ground to the high platform of the turret, there are only fifty floors of stairs.

Suddenly in front of her eyes, the blue tiles of the school palace covered with snow spread out all the way under her feet. Farther afield are streets, walls and moats.

Liu Xie rubbed his left eye and accidentally rubbed the smallpox scar on his temple. The rough hand felt so clear. He giggled.

There are more and more voices downstairs in the corner. Someone was calling him, someone was crying, someone was pleading. But Liu Xie heard nothing. After all, there were not as many as last year. He thought that the number of messengers who came to pay homage to the New Year was not as many as at the end of last year.

Even if he had just ended his exile at that time, some princes bought it;

Liu Xie hit the railing with a fist, the skin on his fingers was torn, and the scarlet liquid dripped on the snow, as if making a "ZZZZ" sound. His heart had never been so hot, and he had never been so awake.

Liu Xie pulled out the railing.

One step further is the edge of life and death.

There was an exclamation from below. Some people started to kowtow, some people smashed the gate of the tower, and some people threw blankets at his feet.

Liu Xie smiled, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, in fact, he couldn't hear any shouting. But he didn't have to look to know that it was Yang Biao who was kneeling with sincerity, Dong Cheng was the one who smashed the door, and Cao Sheng was the one who pushed the snow-covered bedding.

Only Cao Zi will consider the worst outcome, and then fill in the lower limit.

More and more. On one side of the wall are the nobles, and on the other side are the common people. Two great pieces of Wuyangyang.

"Your Majesty, think twice."

"Your Majesty, please don't abandon us."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Liu Xie glanced at the gray sky, and there seemed to be a layer of white veil in front of him, it was probably snowing again.

"The Han Dynasty has collapsed—" he shouted hoarsely, the boy's unchanging voice was so sharp in extreme emotions that it almost pierced people's eardrums, "My brother and I are both Yuan Shi The victims—the country’s destruction and the family feud—now make a pact with the people of the world,”

"The king who destroys the Yuan clan."

"The king of the Yuan clan!"

"The one who destroys the Yuan clan, the king—"

With the last broken sound, the little figure jumped off the high platform, as if pounced on the birds of his hometown.

"Association—"

However, because of the snowdrifts and bedding that were urgently pushed up, Liu Xie failed to die. Three days later, he could still linger on the couch.

He refused to eat, but he couldn't stand someone pouring sugar water ginseng soup into his mouth.

"Let me go." Deep in the majestic and prosperous palace, the boy muttered in a severe injury and fever.

"Your Majesty will be fine," said the man.

"Let me go, mother."

The hand on the couch trembled violently. "Axie, what is your appearance? Even if you're not an emperor, you can live as an ordinary person... I can protect you... It's better to die than live."

"I have done everything I can. Now that I am gone, I can still leave some dignity for the 400-year-old man. The world can remember my hardships, not my ugly appearance after a long time. Just let me go."

There was a long silence.

"Good."

In the winter of December 191, Emperor Huai of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, committed suicide in Xu at the age of eleven.

It was already the first day of the first lunar month when Cao Cao arrived in Xu County, and the first seven days had passed. A group of ministers who have lost their backbone, and a city that has lost its vitality.

When I saw Cao Cao, even Yang Biao couldn't help but redden his eyes. "Munde..."

"Let me pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Okay," Yang Biao wiped his tears, "Come."

The eunuch's whimpering sound created a strange aura of death, which was overwhelming.

Cao Cao put on sackcloth and filial piety. Wearing white armor, he led the army to patrol the outskirts of the city. After a busy day, he came back to his senses: "Where's Ah Sheng?"

The local officials in Xu County replied: "Since the Han emperor left, Duke Zhonghua has been behind closed doors and has not thought about tea and rice. It has been ten days."

Cao Cao was silent for a while: "In that case, I'll invite her in two days."

Liu Xie died in Xu County, Cao Cao was naturally angry. It has only been a year since the little emperor shook hands, and the righteous name has not yet played its role, and he is about to fall into a situation of embarrassment on all sides.

I haven't asked her to hold her accountable yet, and she's just picking her own! Cao Cao rubbed his back molars: "Although this desire to die can't be stopped, His Majesty is only a child. She tied people up, so she can't get out of the high platform."

."

A Sheng lost a lot of weight, and her winter clothes looked empty. She closed her eyes and pressed one hand on her temple: "leave it alone, I'll drink it later. You still have to live."

"I was outside just now, and I saw a few disciples of the Mo family. They said that you haven't finished the water conservancy section, and I hope the school will resume classes soon." Cao Cao patted the back of Ah Sheng's hand, " People who have reached our level are called 'gong', and even if their own son is dead, they have to do their job well with tears in their eyes, otherwise thousands of people will not follow."

A Sheng's eyes opened a slit: "Yeah."

"It's fine if you figure it out." Cao Cao stood up, "When the emperor dies, the area in the east of Luoyang will be in chaos. If you want to destroy the Yuan clan, then you will have to fight Yuan Shu again this year in order to gain the upper hand. After the funeral, you will have to go out, transfer the food, and stabilize the rear, so there is not much time left for you."

"Hmm."

Cao Cao left, and the room fell into cold and dead silence again. The snow light outside shone through the windows on several tables, and the heat on the porridge bowl was getting weaker and weaker.

A Sheng is dressed in black, like a dark statue.

I don't know when, there was another person in the room. He knelt down on one knee and appeared in front of Ah Sheng's several cases.

"Spy 001, Qin Liu, return to the master."

"It's amazing." Ah Sheng was serious, staring at the man who was gradually eroded by time, "I am alone but can understand my intentions. Yuan Shao and Yang Biao were tracked down and returned. If he can get out of his body, there is probably only one Qin Liu in the world."

"Fake the leg injury first, then set fire to fake death. It's not a brilliant idea." Qin Liu said lightly, "As for your intention—"

"I heard that you treat the little emperor as if you were your own, and you do everything yourself. At that time, I knew that the master was motivated to kill."

A Sheng looked at him silently, only his eyes moved.

"You used to be in Liaodong, don't teach Ta'an to study, you didn't even hug him. That's why you really want to protect him."

A Sheng finally said the first sentence: "It was unfortunate for them to meet me."

"Who said no," Qin Liu raised his mouth, his voice soft like a ghost's whisper, "I didn't understand it at first, just reading and literacy, why teach him how to use people? The emperor's mind, let him make friends with aristocratic families. Later, I didn't understand why you worked so hard to bring him back from the gate of hell. Even the order 'to disfigure or disable him, frame Yuan Shu' is weird."

Qin Liu licked his lips. "'King of the Destroyer of Yuan', you took great pains to accumulate confidence for him, paint a bright future for him, and finally break everything with your own hands, just for this sentence. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Qin was orthodox, except for defeating Xiang Yu by force. In addition, because Liu Bang took the lead in attacking Xianyang, he completed the agreement of King Huai of Chu that "the one who first invaded Xianyang is called the king". The master's plan is really far-reaching. , it can be said to be perfect.”

"You are wrong. This must be done before Brother A's first victory." A Sheng stood up and looked down at Qin Liu, "The Son of Heaven made the princes, the original enemies, become allies and take the initiative. Taking refuge, the territory is expanding rapidly, no matter how you look at it, it is a brilliant idea. But in this world, taking shortcuts will cost you a price.”

Only those who have knelt down on the Cao Ziqi are their own people. Revolution is not about treating guests to dinner among nobles, not talking about old-fashioned friendship, not shouting slogans and raising a big flag. What about conquering the world in the name of the Han emperor? , I have to fight again two or three times, and the Kyushu will be turbulent if you are not careful. If you don't have the consciousness to conquer the world for the Cao family from the beginning, then you will start with sex, and the disaster will befall your descendants.

"Look at Xu County, even Juancheng, the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty are talented. But now, it's time for Brother A to make a choice, and it's time for them to make a choice."

A Sheng closed his eyes: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Qin Liu turned towards her and kept kneeling on one knee: "My subordinate collects smallpox pus privately, implicates innocent people, and is willing to accept the master's punishment."

A Sheng stood in the middle of the empty room, looking down like a black mountain. "The law does not expressly stipulate that it is not guilty. In the end, it is my negligence, my sin. You will write the 'prohibition of unauthorized use of plague weapons' into the general rules of the Ministry of Espionage, and then draw up a charter for the relevant authority."

Qin Liu raised his head in surprise.

"What? Do you think I would say 'Pandemic is the public enemy of mankind, and cannot be used under any circumstances'?"

"Uh..."

"To my point, there is no right or wrong, only choices."

Qin Liu suddenly laughed: "If the master really looks like an emperor, he should silence me."

"That's a practice."

Qin Liu smiled more comfortably: "When I returned to Xu County this time, I never thought of leaving alive."

"Oh. Qin Liu, the library has been locked up for a year and cannot go out." Ah Sheng looked indifferent. Some people are really against the sky, and they are born in the blessing and do not know the blessing.

The new year begins with the sound of spring thunder. Cao Cao moved the political center back to Juancheng. After a year of small imperial court, Xuxian Xue Gong officially embarked on the road of academics.

Afterwards, Xun Yu sent a letter to invite the sons of the Cao clan to reunite in Yanzhou; Yang Biao agreed to let medical officers and agricultural officers stationed in Hongnong.

This is their answer.
