Song-Ming -> Romance of the Three Kingdoms -> Li Jue and Guo Si Duel In Changan; The Emperor Establishes Anyi The New Capital -> 12

郭汜李傕退使李暹使:「?」:「!」:「。」Guo Si's army arrived, and Li Jue went out to give battle. Guo Si's troops had no success and retired. Then Li Jue removed the imperial captives to Meiwu with his nephew Li Xian as gaoler. Supplies were reduced, and famine showed itself on the faces of the eunuchs. The Emperor sent to Li Jue to request five carts of rice and five sets of bullock bones for his attendants. Li Jue angrily replied, "The court gets food morning and evening. Why do they ask for more?" He sent putrid meat and rotten grain. The Emperor was very vexed at the new insult, uttering, "How dare the rebels do that to me?" Court Counselor Yang Qi advised patience, saying, "Li Jue is a base creature but, under the present circumstances, Your Majesty must put up with it. You may not provoke him." The Emperor bowed and was silent, but the tears fell on his garments.
