After a while, Liu Bian had arranged everything that he could. The court session ended and the officials left one after another. However, Liu Bian left one person behind. Needless to say, it was Xun Yu.
"Your Majesty, may I know why you called me?”
When he was alone with Liu Bian, Xun Yu was no longer as calm as before. He was a little nervous. After all, he was facing an emperor with the name of Zhenlong, the Son of Heaven.
"Wen Ruo, there's only you and me here now, so why be so reserved? Come, sit by zhen's side.”
Seeing Xun Yu's nervous expression, Liu Bian smiled gently and waved his hand. He walked to the steps and sat down on the steps without any dignity.
Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian's performance in astonishment. When he saw Liu Bian five days ago, Liu Bian's face was cold and stern. However, he had never seen such gentleness. He was like a brother next door.
"What? Not even giving me face?" When he saw that Xun Yu had no reaction, Liu Bian pretended to be angry.
"Ah, I don't dare, I don't dare." Xun Yu jumped in fright, his face filled with panic.
"You don't dare? Then why aren't you sitting beside me?" Liu Bian said in a bad mood, pointing at the empty space on the stairs beside him.
Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian's enthusiasm. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the reverence he felt for Liu Bian. He slowly sat down on the steps, close to Liu Bian.
"Alright, I told you not to be so nervous. Why didn't you listen?”
Alright, Xun Yu did sit down, but his face was serious and he sat upright, making Liu Bian speechless.
Seeing that Xun Yu could not be completely relaxed, Liu Bian did not force him. After all, as an emperor, the majesty on his body made people unable to approach him, let alone Liu Bian who had the Cage Clan bloodline.
After a while!
Liu Bian didn't say anything. Xun Yu didn't dare to say anything. The huge Hall of Great Strength became quiet.
After a long time, Liu Bian finally opened his mouth again. His handsome face revealed a hint of helplessness and worry."Sigh, actually, Zhen is also quite helpless!”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Xun Yu was shocked, but his expression was full of doubt.
"Wen Ruo, at this moment, are you still unwilling to treat me sincerely?”
Liu Bian turned his head and stared at Xun Yu. The light in his eyes seemed to see through his heart, making Xun Yu feel extremely depressed. It was not until Liu Bian turned his head and withdrew his gaze that Xun Yu felt the pressure disappear.
"Don't look at me as the emperor, as the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, with an incomparably dazzling identity, but?”
"I had just succeeded to the throne when I encountered Dong Zhuo's rebellion. If I hadn't endured it, I'm afraid I would have been harmed by Dong Zhuo. Sigh, in the end, it was the mess left behind by the previous emperor that harmed me.”
Facing Xun Yu alone, the peerless military advisor who was known as the mastermind in the later generations, Liu Bian seemed to want to reveal everything that he had suppressed in his heart.
"Let me put it this way. The late Emperor was fatuous and tyrannical. He favored the eunuchs and even allowed the most important official positions of the Han Dynasty to be bought and sold. As a result, very few of the vassals of the thirteen provinces and countless mayors of the cities and counties are loyal to the Han Dynasty. Countless people with evil intentions like Dong Zhuo will reveal their ambitions and stir up the world the moment the Imperial Court weakens!”
"Hey, Wenruo, do you think it's really easy to be in this position?”
After saying the words that he had suppressed in his heart, Liu Bian turned his head again and asked with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
Xun Yu stared at him with a calm expression. However, the waves in his heart were like a deep sea, boiling non-stop.
"Sigh, Your Majesty, you shouldn't have said these words to me!”Xun Yu sighed and said in a low voice.
"Why not?"
"Are you a traitor?" Liu Bian stared at Xun Yu's eyes.
"Of course not!" Xun Yu said frankly without fear.
" Hehe, this is the reason why I'm saying this to you, because " Liu Bian's handsome face flickered with an inexplicable light."Because I believe in you!"
Hearing this!
Xun Yu was stunned. His expression was completely stunned. The words " I believe you " struck him like a thunderbolt from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head straight into his mind and soul.
"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He had once thought of himself as a hot-blooded man with a brain full of wisdom. However, just as he was about to display his ambition, he realized the cruelty of the real officialdom. He fawned on the powerful, fought with the officials, and protected each other. Other than bribery and flattery, there was no chance for him to display his wisdom. Xun Yu was proud of his wisdom, so he would never do such a petty thing.
Today, he was a person whose hot blood had been doused by ice water. Finally, under the sincere words of Tian Zi in front of him, his hot blood was ignited again!
He was loyal to the Han Dynasty and knew that Cao Cao had the intention to replace the Han Dynasty.
"Wen Ruo, can zhen obtain your loyalty so that zhen can speak frankly to you without any scruples?”Liu Bian knew that the final moment to subdue this mastermind would come. The reason why he left Xun Yu alone and said so many sincere words was for this moment.
"Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, from now on, swear loyalty to Your Majesty. If you violate this matter, the heavens will strike you with lightning!”
Xun Yu used his actions to prove it. He knelt on both knees and pointed to the sky with one hand, sincerely swearing. This was the highest oath etiquette in ancient times. It could not be violated. If it was violated, it would be severely punished by the heavens.
