Then the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
This grand award ended with Liu Bei being named Prince of Zhongshan, and then Liu Xie gave Court Officials a banquet to honor all the heroes.
It wasn't until dusk fell that Court Officials retreated.
Lü Bu and other Military Generalss were very drunk. Even Zhao Yun, who had always been steady, was drunk so much that he fell unconscious.
Liu Xie didn't drink much, so he still stayed awake.
Because he still has very important things to do.
When Liu Xie left from the Yongshou Hall, the sky had completely darkened, the lights in the palace were dim, and there was a feeling of loneliness after the hustle and bustle.
"Huh..."
Feeling the cool breeze coming towards him, Liu Xie closed his eyes slightly and exhaled a breath of turbid air that smelled of alcohol.
At this time, footsteps came from behind again. Liu Xie only glanced at it from the corner of his eye. When he saw it was Gao Lan, he withdrew his gaze again.
"Your Majesty, people have been brought to the Waterside Pavilion."
"Everyone in Imperial Garden has also been cleaned up. There are Imperial Guards guards all around. No one will break in."
Gao Lan lowered his head and said respectfully.
Liu Xie said "Hmm" softly, then turned around and walked in the direction of Imperial Garden with his hands behind his back.
Gao Lan followed closely.
Imperial Palace was extremely quiet tonight. Not even the palace maid Eunuch could be seen along the way. Only Liu Xie's unhurried footsteps echoed in the Imperial Palace.
Liu Xie came outside Imperial Garden, glanced at the candlelight Waterside Pavilion in the garden, and strode into it.
Gao Lan stopped at the door of Imperial Garden.
He stood at the entrance of Imperial Garden like a door god, holding the knife on his waist and scanning the surroundings of the garden with sharp eyes.
As long as he finds anyone who dares to come close, he will immediately draw his sword and kill them!
Liu Xie walked into the Waterside Pavilion and saw that Waterside Pavilion was empty except for a figure kneeling on the ground with his back to him.
As if he heard footsteps coming from behind him, the figure couldn't help but start to tremble, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
Even ten steps away, Liu Xie could hear the sound of his teeth chattering.
He stopped and stared at the figure for a moment, then Liu Xie slowly walked towards him, finally came to his side, and gently put his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be afraid."
As if coaxing a child, Liu Xie said softly, looking towards the pool outside the Waterside Pavilion. The calm water surface reflected the bright moon in the sky.
Just like his mood at this time.
Not only did the kneeling man not feel at ease after hearing his words, but he trembled even more, and asked in a voice that was almost about to cry, "Who... are you?"
"Who am I?"
Liu Xie looked down at his face covered by a sack, chuckled and said, "You have already guessed who I am, haven't you?"
"But, what should I call you?" "Your Majesty? Pretender Emperor?"
"Or...Liu Xie?"
Liu Xie said as he reached out and took off the sack on the other person's head, revealing a pale face that was almost exactly the same as his, but full of fear.
It is Emperor Xian of Han.
"Ah!!!"
The two looked at each other, and the moment they saw Liu Xie's appearance, Emperor Xian of Han screamed in horror, as if he had seen a ghost, and stood up to run away.
However, his body was tied up, and his hands and feet were tied up. He couldn't run away and could only squirm on the ground.
But even so, he tried his best to stay away from Liu Xie.
Liu Xie put his hands behind his back, looked at Emperor Xian of Han with a slightly pitiful look, and said, "I'm not a monster, why are you so afraid of me?"
The fear in Emperor Xian of Han's heart reached the extreme. He stared at Liu Xie and said tremblingly, "No! You are a monster, you are a monster!"
"It was you who transformed into the same appearance as me and stole my throne and my country!"
"W-what kind of monster are you!"
Before seeing this counterfeit, Emperor Xian of Han never believed how much the other person looked like him, and he never understood why so many people thought this Pretender Emperor was real.
But now he understands, he understands everything.
Under the moonlight, Liu Xie was wearing Son of Heaven's ceremonial robes and crown. There was an indescribable nobility and Imperial Majesty all over her body, and her face was just like him.
But the unruly and heroic spirit between his eyebrows was something he had never possessed before.
Another him stood before him alive.
Looking at the culprit who stole his throne, Emperor Xian of Han couldn't even feel any hatred in his heart, only a chill surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
It made him tremble all over.
Seeing Emperor Xian of Han who was so scared, Liu Xie frowned and suddenly felt a little bored.
"I said, I'm not a monster, I'm just an ordinary person who came to this era inexplicably."
"It's just a coincidence that my name is Liu Xie; it's just a coincidence that I look just like you; it's just a coincidence that I was mistaken for the emperor."
Liu Xie said in a calm tone.
This is the biggest secret hidden in his heart, and now he can finally tell it frankly.
Emperor Xian of Han was startled by what Liu Xie said. After reacting, his face changed. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by this? What are you from?"
"If you were not a monster, how could you be so similar to me, and how could you dominate the world in such a short period of time?"
"You must have defeated the enemy with sorcery and at the same time bewitched Court Officials!"
Emperor Xian of Han's tone is very determined.
In his opinion, only this reason can explain why the counterfeit in front of him can defeat Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Quan Sun Ce one by one, and why so many people are obsessed with it.
"If I can master magic, it will still take me six years to dominate the world?"
Liu Xie sneered and sat down cross-legged, face to face with Emperor Xian of Han. At this time, he took off all disguises and let go of all the airs of the emperor.
Just like an ordinary young man.
Then he sighed again and said, "To be honest, I don't know how I came to this era. Maybe there are ghosts, gods and magic in the world."
"But anyway, I don't know these things. I just did what an emperor should do and hired the right people. That's all."
"As of right now, I'm doing quite well in my position as emperor, what do you think?"
Liu Xie looked at Emperor Xian of Han.
He asked with a half-smile.
Emperor Xian of Han looked at Liu Xie's eyes and opened his mouth to retort angrily, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Although this Pretender Emperor is hateful, it is undeniable that the opponent did much better than him, and many Rebel were defeated one by one by his hands.
Great Han, which was on the verge of fragmentation, was once again unified.
No matter from any angle, this Pretender Emperor is a qualified emperor, even an emperor comparable to Guangwu and Emperor Gaozu.
"But... you are fake after all!"
Emperor Xian of Han suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart, his eyes were red, and he choked and said to Liu Xie, "I am the real Son of Heaven!"
"If I had so many capable ministers to help me, I could rebuild the country and restore Great Han to its glory. I would be no worse than you!"
Since this Pretender Emperor pretended to be Son of Heaven, he has received help from all kinds of wise ministers, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Kong Rong, Lü Bu, Liu Bei...
All because of Son of Heaven's identity!
But all this should have been his!
"You are wrong."
Liu Xie shook his head and said calmly, "I used the name Son of Heaven to successfully gather a group of capable ministers around me, but have you ever thought about why they didn't help you before I showed up?"
Emperor Xian of Han was stunned.
Liu Xie looked at him deeply and said, "This is the difference between you and me. You are not me, and I am not you."
"Except for our looks, I have nothing in common with you. Even if you were in my position, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today."
"If I hadn't appeared, you would have been held hostage by Cao Cao. In the end, your Zen position would have been given to the Cao Clan, and you would have been depressed all your life."
Emperor Xian of Han was shocked, looked at Liu Xie, and subconsciously asked, "How... how do you know this?"
He heard that the tone of the last sentence of Pretender Emperor was very different. It was elaborating, as if it was stating an established fact.
But... how does Pretender Emperor know this?
Liu Xie smiled and said, "Because this is your original future, the future without me."
"It's just that I changed everything and made Great Han glorious again, and the people were saved from war, and Han Dynasty Guo Zuo could continue for a long time."
"As for how I know it, just think that I used magic to predict it."
Liu Xie feels that time travel cannot be explained to Emperor Xian of Han.
So I'm too lazy to talk.
Emperor Xian of Han was stunned for a long time after listening.
This... can actually be his future?
After coming back to his senses, a trace of anger flashed in Emperor Xian of Han's eyes, and he said to Liu Xie, "Even if this is the case, it is better than being replaced by you!"
"I am Son of Heaven! This Great Han country belongs to me Liu Clan, how could it be stolen by you Pretender Emperor!"
If the Pretender Emperor in front of me is really Han House clansman like Liu Bei, that's all. It doesn't matter if the throne is given up. Anyway, it is Liu Clan's kingdom.
But the key point is that Pretender Emperor is just a counterfeit of unknown origin! How can he accept this?!
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie's face instantly turned cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes made Emperor Xian of Han's heart tremble, and he felt like a light on his back.
But out of Son of Heaven's dignity, he gritted his teeth and made himself look at Liu Xie without looking away.
Just when Emperor Xian of Han was about to lose his support, Liu Xie suddenly stood up and looked down at Emperor Xian of Han. At this moment, he once again regained his dignity as Son of Heaven.
