"After that incident, I was assassinated for the first time in my life.
It was them who forced me to fight and finally died in my hands.
I can only say that if you don't have the brains and means, don't think about it.
After all, not everyone has the luck like the Ling Emperor."
Liu Xie's story is not over yet, but Ma Chao knows from Liu Xie's expression that it is almost over.
Because he said everything that needed to be said, and all the emotions he wanted to express most were expressed.
The rest is probably his subsequent series of brilliant methods and his realization of stepping into the abyss step by step.
"That time, I almost died.
A maid who had been taking care of me since I was five years old brought me a bowl of poison and almost poisoned me to death.
That day, I really didn’t want to drink the medicine, so I poured the medicine into the fish pond as usual, but when I saw the densely packed dead fish floating in the one-foot-wide fish pond.
My heart almost burst out of my chest No investigation is needed to know who the person who wants to kill me is.
That incident completely shattered my last vestige of fantasy that I had read in the history books.
I also know what is written in the books: when faced with the struggle for the throne, there are no words of affection.
That time, I understood and gave in blindly.
They cannot guarantee my safety.
Today they bribed my maid to poison me.
Tomorrow you might be able to bribe my guards and stab me while I'm sleeping.
I don’t want to die and want to survive, so I have no choice.
So, I did something that I still somewhat regret. " Having said this, Liu Xie smiled at Ma Chao and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
Ma Chao shook his head.
Suddenly, he remembered what Liu Xie had said before, and then asked in disbelief: "You killed Emperor Ling?"
"Yes, I killed my father," Liu Xie said ferociously.
The sentence contained a hint of regret and self-blame: "At that time, I did not understand my father's true feelings for me.
At that time, I had already relied on my grandma's power to conquer Hong Cezong and learned that the He family had joined He Jin. , the scholars conspired to make my brother the emperor, so I helped them and made my father drink a bowl of the same medicine that killed me.
As expected, his father died, and the emperor's brother got his wish and ascended to the throne.
I originally thought that this way, I could survive.
Later I discovered that all this was wishful thinking One day two months after the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, I suffered the second assassination in my life.
I am sure.
That assassin was definitely sent by the emperor's brother, because his assassination skills were really not very good.
Because he had bribed the palace guards, the assassin came to my bedroom very easily.
He threw a short knife at me while I was sleeping, and the knife hit the edge of the bed with a bang.
The result woke me up.
I didn't know where the intuition came from.
I knew someone was coming to assassinate me, and I judged that the assassin would throw the knife higher next time, so I jumped out of bed.
As expected, the second knife hit the bed, but I dodged it.
And later.
The assassin was naturally dead.
After all, the masters of Hong Ce Sect are not vegetarians.
And since then, I have arranged for people to protect me, the two people I asked them to retreat to, day and night day and night.
Meng Qi, you said, I grew up in such an environment.
How could you not become ruthless and use all means to protect my life?"
Ma Chao nodded, and he agreed: Indeed, if a child who grew up in such an environment is not abnormal, it would be called unreasonable.
"I don't want to be the emperor, I never have."
Liu Xie sighed softly: "It's just that I am in such a situation.
I find that if I want to protect myself, I have to go tit-for-tat with the emperor, and I have to ascend the throne. to that supreme position It was indeed difficult at the beginning.

But later, as I relied on Hong Cezong's power to gradually acquire all the useful people in the royal family, I suddenly realized that my opportunity had come.
The scholars made the emperor's brother the emperor just to use He Jin's troops to kill the eunuchs and return power to them.
Unfortunately, that stupid pig of He Jin is indeed a member of the He family.
Everyone has great ambitions but little talent.
He actually failed to kill the eunuchs, but was deceived into the palace by those eunuchs in the name of his sister and was mutilated by the eunuchs.
It hit my head, I really laughed so hard You also know what happened later.
When Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, I asked my confidants to have a deep talk with him.
Because he killed He Miao and annexed He Jin's tribe, he was afraid of revenge from the He family.
At the same time, in order for him to gain a foothold in the court, he made up his mind to depose the emperor.
Once things had begun, they had to go on step by step.
Naturally, the scholars were afraid of the revenge of that crazy woman He, so they acquiesced in Dong Zhuo's approach.
So, I ascended to the ninth position and became today's Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo is a vulgar warrior, and I feel at ease when he does things.
Sure enough, he then killed Queen Mother He.
At that time, I thought that I had the strength to protect myself, so I just gave up.
But then I realized something: even if I was just protecting myself.
It's useless too Because my pitiful imperial brother actually thinks that I have robbed him of the throne, and has regarded me as his mortal enemy.
In his heart, he does not think about how to take revenge on Dong Zhuo, but he only wants to get rid of my pitiful imperial brother.
He does not know , without the support of the eunuchs and the military power of the He family, he was just a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
So, when I learned that he still wanted to assassinate me, I just wrote a poem about my life in the palace, with no intention of letting Dong Zhuo see it."
After hearing this, Ma Chao sighed in his heart.
He imagined a boy in his early ten years in the palace.
There are dangers everywhere.
Liu Xie, who has walked step by step over the years like walking a tightrope on a cliff, is certainly scheming, full of strategies, and clever in doing things.
There are even often some strategies that seem a little more sinister.
But imagine a child in his early teens.
If you want to survive, how can you protect yourself without resorting to excessive means?
A ten-year-old child loses his innocence and has to fall into political struggle and the dirtiest quagmire in the world.
Only then did he create the extremely evil young emperor that he is today.
"After killing these people, I thought that my killing would be over.
But at this time, I suddenly discovered another problem.
That is, I am more and more hungry for power.
Because with enough power, I can protect myself. ; With enough power, you can have unlimited glory; with power, you can do whatever you want, and I am the one who should enjoy this kind of power.
I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that when I was immersed in the killing of that little conspiracy, I actually gave up what I deserved most.
But when I wanted to get it, I found that Dong Zhuo, that vulgar warrior, He actually got my things one step ahead of time So, he deserves to die So, I just found you today.”
And Ma Chao looked at Liu Xie, whose eyes were flashing with crazy paranoia.
He didn't know whether he should cooperate with Liu Xie: This child is really too scared:
