    At the end of his life, he still gave Liu Xie an idea.  She said: "Since Your Majesty is unable to make a decision now and is in a dilemma, why not just delay the matter for a while?" "Queen, how to delay it?" Fu Shou said: "If Your Majesty is worried about tomorrow's court meeting, Xi Zhong will wait again  If you propose to worship Chaqi as a Taiwei, then it is not a bad idea to just give up for a day. As for the reason for quitting, it is easy to find, so I told the ministers that your Majesty is ill and needs to rest for a day. "  Liu Xie thought for a while and agreed to Fu Shou's suggestion.  So the next morning, before the court meeting, he called the eunuch Zhao Yue and ordered him to immediately dispatch the eunuchs to deliver the decree to the ministers attending the court meeting. He said that Liu Xie was ill and would stay away from the court for the day.  It started to rain in the middle of the night yesterday and has not stopped yet. Although it is less rainy than last night, it is still raining heavily. The ground is muddy and there is water flowing everywhere in the palace.  Liu Xie felt that the palace was stuffy, so he climbed up to a high building and looked at the scene under the rain.  I saw a gray piece in the distance, looking at the sky, and the black clouds pressed.  Looking to the west, that is the direction of the county seat of Xu County and the location of Xunzhen Barracks.  Although it is raining, and because it is far away, it is impossible to hear the movement in the camp, but according to Xun Zhen's practice, no matter it rains or snows, daily exercises must be carried out. Liu Xie can imagine that now  The school grounds in the camp must be under the falling rain, and there are many tigers and wolves in armor and weapons.  When Xun Zhen led his warriors to welcome him to Xu County, and when not long ago, Xun Zhen still led this army to go south to fight Yuan Shu, Liu Xie thought that he had finally  He had an elite and strong army, and he was happy about it, thinking that he had hope of reviving the Han Dynasty.  However, it seems now that this army belongs to Xun Zhen after all, not to him.  But he has never been like this before. Liu Xie has such a strong desire to create and possess an army that is truly loyal to him, but he can only think about this idea, and how can he do it?  ?  First of all, he has no generals, and secondly, he has no food and salary, and no source of recruiting soldiers.  He thought sadly: "Can I just rely on others?" He was very unwilling, thinking of Yang Biao's words that he could use Yuan Shao's power to check and balance Xun Zhen, and then thought, "But if it's like Yang Biao  As he said, the chariots and riders have different intentions, but how can I rely on Yuan Shao's strength? "Xun Zhen's disobedience has not been revealed at least, but Yuan Shao's disobedience has already been exposed!"  Suddenly I remembered that Dong Cheng had returned to Xu County from Luoyang, but I heard that he did not come back with any troops.  Liu Xie didn't know why he returned alone without troops. Now that he had this idea, he thought of calling Dong Cheng and asking him.  As soon as the thought came out, he then thought that he had just told the ministers that he was ill, so the court meeting could not be held today, so if he summoned Dong Cheng to see him now, wouldn't it be self-contradictory?  Because of this thought, I can only do it.  After not standing on the tall building for long, Zhao Yue hurriedly came downstairs holding an umbrella.  Liu Xie watched him climb up the steps and disappear into the building. Soon, the sound of footsteps reached his ears, and Zhao Yue appeared upstairs.  When Liu Xie approached, Zhao Yue knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Ding Chong wants to see you." Liu Xie said, "Ding Chong wants to see you? Okay, okay, call him to see him quickly." Ding Chong has always been resourceful, and he is very resourceful.  He was not in the same party as Xun Zhen, so it was time to see if he could do anything about it.  The high building was not a place to meet with the ministers, so Liu Xie came down from the upstairs and went to the small hall dedicated to meeting the ministers.  Zhao Yue had already gone outside the palace to inform Ding Chong, who was already waiting in the palace.  Seeing Liu Xie entering the palace, Ding rushed to bow down and salute.  Liu Xie noticed that Ding Chong's hair bun and robe were stained with rainwater, and said with concern: "Why are you getting wet? Don't let it catch the wind and cold!" Ding Chong replied: "In reply to Your Majesty,  My body is still strong, so this little rain is nothing." Because the water on his clothes made the ground wet, he apologized to Liu Xie and said, "Only the palace was wet by the rain on my body.  I am being disrespectful to His Majesty. I dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Liu Xie waved his hand and said with a smile, "What does this mean?" He told Zhao Yue, "Go and get some clean clothes for Ding Qing.  " Zhao Yue accepted the order and went out to get a set of clothes.  Ding Chong could not give in, so he had to go to the side room next to the palace, change his clothes, and then come out to meet the emperor and his ministers again.  Ding Chong saluted again, paid homage to Liu Xie again, and said, "I am humble enough to thank Your Majesty for your grace."Huai, I am sincerely frightened.  Liu Xie said: "Ai Qing, please get up quickly."  He asked him, "It's raining heavily today. Why did you come to the palace in the rain?"  anything?  " Ding Chong replied: "To answer your Majesty's question, today is the day of the court meeting, but I just received an oral message from the eunuch in the palace, saying that His Majesty's dragon body is sick. I was very worried, so I hurriedly came to see Your Majesty.  "As he spoke, his words became slower. Although he didn't say anything clearly, Liu Xie could already hear Ding Chong's doubts from his tone. It was clear that Liu Xie was full of energy when he spoke, although Ding Chong never dared to speak directly.  Looking at Liu Xie's face and walking, he looked very vigorous and healthy. How could he look like he was sick? Liu Xie sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, I am indeed a little pregnant."  I'm sick, but it doesn't matter. The reason why I didn't go to court today is because I have something on my mind that I can't solve.  " Ding Chong said: "May I ask Your Majesty, why are you in trouble?  "Liu Xie said: "I was actually planning to summon Aiqing into the palace. I wanted to ask Aiqing for her opinion and see if she could help me resolve my doubts, but Aiqing happened to ask for a meeting. What a coincidence!  " After pondering for a while, he ordered Zhao Yue and other eunuchs to go out first. After he and Ding Chong were the only ones left in the palace, he continued and said to Ding Chong: "My dear, the trouble I have caused is because of my loyalty to the play.  , Xun and others went up to the table to ask their respects to the Commander-in-Chief of Chariots and Cavalry. At the same time, the Commander-in-Chief Yang Gong also wanted to submit a petition. However, it was about resigning as Commander-in-Chief and asking to pay homage to Commander-in-Chief Yuan Shao!  After a pause, he asked Ding Chong, and said, "Ai Qing must have heard about the fact that Grand Lieutenant Yang Gong wants to pay homage to Grand Lieutenant Yuan Shao in court, right?"  "There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Liu Xie didn't know that the news had reached Xun Zhen on the day Yang Biao and the others made this decision, based on common sense, he felt that Ding Chong should have already known the news.  Known. It is true that Ding Chong has learned about this matter. Not only Ding Chong knows about it, but the news has gradually spread. Ding Chongyin replied to Liu Xie:  "In reply to Your Majesty, Yang Biao plans to resign as Taiwei and invites Yuan Shao to become Taiwei. I have indeed heard about it.  "Liu Xie said: "My dear, this is the difficult thing I mentioned!  Tell me, what should I do?  Do you agree with Yang Gong's resignation and ask Yuan Shao to pay his respects, or do you agree with Xi Zhong and Xun's request to pay homage to Chaqi Captain?  Ding Chong replied calmly and unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it seems that it is best to agree to the wishes of Taiwei Yang Biao."  Liu Xie asked: "Why is this?"  " Ding Chong said: "Your Majesty, Xun Zhen is now a general of chariots and cavalry, and a minister of affairs. If he worships the Taiwei again, I will worry about him. From now on, no one in the court can control him again!  Moreover, the soldiers and horses under his tent are strong.  Your Majesty, if the minister is strong and the master is weak, this is a taboo for a ruler!  I heard that as a king, you should be good at controlling both ends to achieve balance.  Now in the sea, the general Yuan Shao can fight against chariots and cavalry with only one ear!  If you follow Yang Biao's wishes and worship Yuan Shao as Taiwei, I will think that there are Yuan Shao's elite troops in Hebei, and they will become a vassal other than His Majesty's. Even though Xun Zhen is strong, even if he is in the court, he will have to change his appearance and act as a vassal.  Your Majesty is on horseback!  Liu Xie hesitated and said: "What you said, Yang Gong also said to me, but my dear, just like you said, Yuan Shao is currently in Jizhou, but the chariot and cavalry are in the court. If it is a joke,  Zhong, Xun and others continue to insist on asking for the chariot captain, how can I refuse them?  " Ding Chong said: "Your Majesty is the Holy One. If Your Majesty does not agree, what can Xi Zhong and Xun do?  " This is simple to say. If he could withstand the pressure from Xi Zhong, Xun and others, in other words, Xun Zhen, and really reject the matter of "worshiping Taiwei Xun Zhen", Liu Xie would not  It was so difficult, but he asked Ding Chong again, and Ding Chong had no other choice, so he still had this answer. At this moment, Zhao Yue said loudly outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with you."  Report important things.  Liu Xie called him in. Zhao Yue entered the palace from outside the palace, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, General Xun Zhen of Chariots and Cavalry is now outside the palace, asking to see Your Majesty."  Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "Xun, Mr. Xun wants to see you?"  " Zhao Yue said: "Replying to Your Majesty, Mr. Xun is waiting outside the palace now.  " Here they were asking for advice, how could they not agree to pay homage to Captain Xun Zhen? Over there, Xun Zhen arrived outside the palace. Liu Xie was a little flustered and said, "Did Duke Xun say why he asked for an audience?  " Zhao Yue said: "Xun Gong said that he was worried when he heard that His Majesty was ill, so he braved the rain to see him and asked about His Majesty's condition.  " Liu Xie hesitated for a long time. This incident was beyond his expectation. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked at Ding Chong and asked: "Ai Qing,  Asking for a meeting?Do you think I have seen you or not?  " "Replying to your majesty, Xun Zhen is now in charge of the court. He heard that your majesty was ill and came to see him. It is not appropriate for your majesty to miss you."  Liu Xie had no choice but to say: "Okay then, please invite the chariots and riders into the palace."  " He said he was sick, so it would be inappropriate to meet Xun Zhen in the palace. If Xun Zhen saw him so lively in the palace, wouldn't he slap himself in the mouth? So Liu Xie changed the place where he met Xun Zhen.  When they arrived at the palace, Liu Xie hurried to the palace and lay down on the bed. After a while, Zhao Yue came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Xun Zhen has arrived.  "Liu Xie said: "Please come in."  " The sound of footsteps sounded, and Xun Zhen's figure appeared at the door of the palace. In terms of body shape, Xun Zhen's figure today is no different from the past, but Liu Xie was half lying on the bed, looking through the curtains covering the outside  , after seeing Xun Zhen's figure, he felt like the weather today, with gloomy dark clouds pressing down on his head, giving him a strong sense of oppression, like a ferocious beast slowly approaching him.
