Chapter 5 Let me pretend

The Luoyang City Imperial Palace is divided into the South Palace and the North Palace.

The North Palace is where the emperor and his concubines live, while the South Palace is where the emperor works and courtiers discuss matters.

The South Palace and the North Palace are connected by three main roads, which are called Fudao.

The Chongde Hall is the Chaohui Hall.

In the deepest part of the main hall is a high platform, on which there is a dragon table, and a person has already knelt on it, his appearance is slightly immature, it is Liu Bian.

And behind the high platform, there is a small room, which is covered with a curtain.

But the entire hall was empty except for the soldiers.Behind Liu Bian, only Li Xianzhong stood with his sword.

"Show loyalty? Didn't I say that the court meeting will be held today? Why hasn't the minister arrived yet?" Liu Bian said with a gloomy face.

He Jin was killed because of the chaos caused by the ten permanent servants. Yuan Shao led troops into the palace to rescue him and killed almost all the eunuchs.So Liu Bian handed over the matter of notifying the court to Li Xianzhong.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have already notified you, but the time has not yet arrived, and it is not yet the time for the court meeting. Your Majesty has come down early!" Li Xianzhong said with a strange expression on his face.

Just after a certain time, the sky was not yet bright, and Liu Bian, who was nervous and excited, naturally couldn't sleep, so he dragged Li Xianzhong to the main hall early.

Liu Bian looked resentful, rubbed his nose and said, "I've been sick for a few days, and I haven't had a court meeting for many days. I'm worried that there will be government affairs piled up in the court, so I can't wait!"

"Your Majesty cares about the country, it's truly a great man's blessing!" Li Xianzhong said respectfully.

"Hehe." Liu Bian laughed a few times, but secretly cursed in his heart that this predecessor really lived like a dog, and he didn't even know the time of the court meeting.

Not long after, the black curtain covering the earth gradually dissipated, and a ray of golden sunlight shot into the hall.

"Oh!" Liu Bian yawned, looked at Li Xianzhong behind him and said, "Xianzhong, what time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's already the hour, and the ministers are waiting outside the hall!" Li Xianzhong said in a deep voice.

"Show them in!"

"Yes!" Li Xianzhong walked towards the outside of the hall at a moderate speed.

Liu Bian bowed his body and sat upright a little. "It's really uncomfortable to kneel and sit. I must invent a chair in the future. My legs are numb!" Liu Bian squeezed his numb thigh and murmured.

Soon, the door of the palace opened wide, and a group of people entered one by one.

They each found their own seats, knelt and stood, while Li Xianzhong walked behind Liu Bian and stood up.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the ministers shouted long live!Kneel down.

Liu Bian raised his hands, and said in a vain manner, "All lovers are welcome."

"No wonder so many people want to be emperor! This taste is really good!" Liu Bian said excitedly.

Liu Bian looked around for a week. According to the memory of his predecessor, among these people were the three famous generals of the late Han Dynasty, including Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, and Zhu Jun.

Wang Yun, who killed Dong Zhuo with a series of schemes, and Yuan Kai, the head of the Yuan family who had four generations and three princes, and others.

"Xianzhong, Dong Zhuo didn't come?" Liu Bian asked softly to Li Xianzhong behind him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo said he would come, but he didn't come for some reason!" Li Xianzhong said angrily, "How dare you be late for the court meeting, this is obviously not letting Your Majesty down!"

"Hehe, Xianzhong, don't get angry, since he doesn't respect me, I'll show him off!" Liu Bian said with a smile.

Li Xianzhong asked curiously, "Oh?"

In the main hall, all the officials knelt down without saying a word.Occasionally there were a few voices of Liu Bian and Li Xianzhong discussing.It caused some ministers to shake their heads and sigh. Unexpectedly, the emperor still lacked dignity during the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, I have a statement!" A minister came out and said.

"Hold on!" Liu Bian shouted!
"Your Majesty!" The minister hesitated to speak.

"I told you to wait!" Liu Bian glared angrily.

Liu Bian's usual behavior is exaggerated and has no emperor's majesty.But today, facing Liu Bian's immature scolding, the minister was terrified.As if he was facing a real dragon, this minister faced Liu Bian directly, with a feeling of suffocation, and he didn't dare to breathe!
"Yes, I obey the order!" The minister quickly returned to his seat, too frightened to move.

Liu Bian, who was kneeling on the high platform, was caressing the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant in his hand, and said happily in his heart: "This jade pendant is really useful!"

The Nine Dragons Jade Pendant temporarily increases the power of the monarch by 100 points for half a day.Use 2/3 times.

Liu Bian glanced at the ministers, every minister's eyes met Liu Bian's gaze and involuntarily lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

The hall was eerily quiet.

"I heard that some people in Luoyang City have been restless recently, and even made their minds here?" Liu Bian patted the dragon case under him, and said solemnly.

"I dare not wait!" All the ministers said in panic.

"You don't dare, but some people dare!"

Liu Bian had checked the loyalty points of these ministers before, and he took a few extra glances at the ministers with extremely low loyalty points with ulterior motives.These ministers already had ghosts in their hearts, and they were trembling with fright for a while.

"Haha, what's so lively, I'm here to join in the fun."

The sudden laughter broke the silence of the hall.

Dong Zhuo dragged his obese body slowly into the hall, and felt strangely angry in the hall for a moment.

"Why are all the ministers kneeling? Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Although Dong Zhuo felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, he didn't expect Liu Bian to be the cause.Seeing the strangeness of the hall, Dong Zhuo laughed and said.

And treat the emperor Liu Bian as nothing, as if Liu Bian has become the meat on his chopping board and let him slaughter it.

"Who is Your Highness? How dare you be so rude? Did I ever announce you to come in? Do you regard my conference hall as your home? Why don't you step down!" Liu Bian shouted abruptly.

Dong Zhuo was startled by the sudden angry shout, he couldn't imagine that there would be people in Luoyang City who would dare to speak like this more than him.

Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at the source of the voice, "What, you, why..." Dong Zhuo was surprised and angry.

Liu Bian frowned and said, "What's wrong with me? Dong Zhuo, you really let me down!"

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback by Liu Bian's sudden change.Can't help looking at Liu Bian in astonishment, some ministers can't help but smile, His Majesty has changed, he is no longer as weak as before, it seems that the great man is hopeful.However, some ministers frowned. Was Liu Bian out of their control?
But Liu Bian didn't know what these ministers were thinking, and continued to speak out the lines he had thought up.It's rare to use the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant to pretend to be aggressive, this good opportunity can't be missed!
