164 Chapter 162

Chapter 162, confined to Kyoto to marry Yingyi, and confronted the capital to say favors

.

As soon as the half-moon passed in a hurry, although Qi Han had a certain amount of freedom and could move around, the guards watched it very closely. The Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily defended, and he had no one to trust, so he couldn't contact Zhao Yun, let alone leave Xu Du to find him.

Day after day, the thoughts grew stronger. He began to feel anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The mountains and rivers are long, so I don't know where Zhao Yun and the others have been.

Qi Han was blind, and the only news he got was that Zhao Yun and the people of the Fuyun Department were still in Xuzhou and did not enter Beijing with Liu Bei. Either to avoid suspicion of the relationship with Liu Bei, or to have other plans, but he had no way of knowing.

After returning from Xuzhou, Cao Cao's head wind attacks became more and more frequent, and his temper became extremely bad, cloudy and unpredictable. Once, Mrs. Ding quarreled with Cao Cao because of Cao Ang, which caused him to have a headache, and Cao Cao was angry, so he changed his previous tolerance and grace and sent Mrs. Ding back to his hometown in Qian County.

When Qi Han was shocked, Mrs. Ding had already packed her bags and was about to set off.

Seeing Mrs. Ding's tear-stained face, Qi Han couldn't help but feel a little sad, so he wanted to persuade Cao Cao, but was stopped by Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Ding solemnly warned him that he must never rebel against Cao Cao and touch his scales again. Ever since Qi Han let go of the assassin at the Prayer Valley Altar, Cao Cao's feelings for his eldest son seem to have been affected. What's more, he has had a headache recently, and he is even more irritable, which annoys him, and the consequences are unimaginable. Qi Han couldn't, so he had to respond one by one, let her hug him, and be relieved.

With Ding's departure, there are even fewer people available around Qi Han.

Since returning to Beijing, Cao Cao has been monitoring his personal contacts, and although he has not abolished his title as the son, he has suppressed him to the bottom. Outsiders know that Cao Ang has fallen out of favor and avoids him, lest he be implicated from being too secret. Qi Han didn't care about this, he was even more worried about not being able to leave early.

Fortunately, Sikong Liu Ye is straightforward, and he has always been good friends with Cao Ang, so he didn't think he was losing power, but he ran to the prime minister's mansion at two ends in three days, which relieved Qi Han a lot of boredom.

Liu Ye was full of thoughts, seeing that he was lonely and bored all day long, he would bring a bunch of young colleagues with him every time he came. Among them, the prince of Shilang in Beijing and Wu Zilan, the general of Zhaoxin, are the most liked by Qi Han.

The four of them are of the same age, and they are all bold and straightforward temperaments, and they are also well-read and knowledgeable. Whenever you get together, you can drink and talk about the world, and talk about some anecdotes in the sea and the sky, which is also very interesting. But Qi Han was worried in his heart, and he was restrained for a while, so he was not as happy as he looked at on his face. He made friends with Liu Ye and others, but he had a certain purpose, hoping to find a trustworthy friend from them and ask him to contact Zhao Yun and others.

Although the purpose is not pure, it is also a sincere fellowship.

Qi Han did what he liked, and gave Wu Zilan a treasure carving bow that Cao Ang loved during his lifetime, and sent someone to send three barrels of Lanling wine to the alcoholic prince's clothes. As for Liu Ye...... This one came almost uninvited and would report regularly every day - just because while talking, Liu Ye suddenly discovered that Cao Shizi had amazing creativity. Every whimsical idea is extremely fresh, and it is deeply beneficial for him to listen to it, so he introduces Qi Han as a lifelong confidant, and he can't wait to come over every day with the drawings of his own invention utensils, and discuss with Qi Han how to transform these siege and defense equipment.

Qi Han had no choice but to draw a few sketches for him, and let him ponder the classic equipment of later generations. For example, 10 characters, crossbows, step people's armor, Lu bus and so on. Liu Ye was like a treasure, his eyes lit up every time, and he rushed back with the drawings, ready to study it slowly. Once, Qi Han drank two more glasses, and even mentioned to him the power of gunpowder and the principle of its manufacture, which made Liu Ziyang dumbfounded. However, to what extent he can study these things in the end, it is not Qi Han's concern.

After another half a month, one evening at dusk, Cao Cao seemed to have finally lost some of his anger and summoned Qi Han in the council hall.

Before leaving, Qi Han took a self-portrait in the mirror for a long time, and silently put away the robes and jade clothes neatly, for fear that he would miss something.

Ethereal deep clothes, cloud soap ink, blue and gray claw belt tied around the waist, and two cloisonnΓ© coral copper buckles in the middle, tightly seamed, stretching out a slender waistline. At the end, he put on a robe on the outside, tied the ribbon around his neck, and a handsome young man with a long body and no flaws appeared in the mirror.

Qi Han looked at this face that was similar to seventy or eighty percent in his previous life, and his heart suddenly felt a little heavy. Go to see Cao Cao and say that he is not nervous, that is false. Perhaps he will soon face lengthy questioning and severe punishment - these days, he has done a lot of psychological construction for himself, and he has thought of a rhetoric, but when the time comes, he still can't help but worry.

Pressing his thoughts, Qi Han took a deep breath and followed the attendant to the council hall.

The Ming Hall is magnificent and broad, the bucket arch is strict, the eaves are towering, and the four walls are all thick fir-wood doorposts. Qi Han walked all the way to the door, and before the two Yellow Gate attendants could make a report, they heard Cao Cao's angry voice coming from inside.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xun Wenruo, you, you dare to do this!"

Qi Han's eyebrows jumped, and he thought secretly: "This is scolding Xun Yu? After a pause, he waved his hand at the yellow door at the door, signaling him to silence.

Then there was a muffled sound of bronze falling to the ground, showing that Cao Cao was angry and threw off the utensils on the desk.

"In the second year of Chuping, you were twenty-nine years old, and you came to vote for me from Yuan Benchu, and I regarded you as a guest and took you as Sima. Everyone else is suspicious of you and criticizes you, but I told them, 'Xun Wenruo is my Mr. Zifang, and whoever dares to frame him will insult me Cao Cao!'...... Over the years, I have treated you well, but I don't want you to dare to slander me in public today......"

The words slammed, and the table was slammed hard.

When this sound fell, there was silence inside, Qi Han's heart was racing, and he realized that there seemed to be only Cao Cao and Xun Yu inside.

The next moment, I heard Xun Yu say: "Lord Enwo, Yu dare not forget it one day." But every word of today's words is for the sake of the Lord. ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "You still dare to say it!"

Xun Yu said: "It is precisely because no one in the court today dares to disobey the lord and say a word about the lord's wrong, so Yu has to stand up and admonish, take the risk of rejecting it, and advise the lord." ”

Accompanied by Xun Yu's words, there was a slight sound of pacing in the hall. Qi Han secretly admired in his heart, this Xun Yu's courage is really big, if he accompanies the king and the tiger, Cao Cao is so angry that he slapped the table and roared, he still dared to speak out, he really deserved to be a good minister. But I don't know why the two of them are so unhappy.

But listening to Xun Yu's pacing, he said: "In the fourth year of the first peace, the public took care, Juling, and Xiaqiu, slaughtered the city all the way, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and where they passed, the chickens and dogs were not left, and Surabaya blocked the flow. In the second year of Xingping, the Gongda broke Zhang Miao and immediately slaughtered Yongcheng...... Now that Lu Bu is white, he has slaughtered Peng Cheng again...... Is it so cruel and cruel to heaven and earth, is it the way of the Ming Justice?"

Xun Yu recalled the tragic situation of the slaughtered city, as if he saw the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing and crying, pushing and rolling, corpses everywhere, tens of millions of houses burned by the war, snow all over the plains, stained with red blood. His voice grew more and more painful.

As soon as his words fell, he heard Cao Cao say: "If you don't accept the power of heaven against the city, you will be tired of losing my troops and generals." The thief will trap my beloved son and kill my righteous son, Ah Su, why can't he be greatly cleansed and slaughtered? Just teach them how powerful my Cao Mengde is! If you want to calm the world, you must first clear the stream and eliminate the poison. Even if the people are worried, but the aftermath is deterred, so that the people who come after will not dare to oppose me. He paused slightly, and then said, "Wen Ruo, how can I not understand your grand wish? It is nothing more than serving the Ming Lord, leveling the world's thieves, and returning the Han to a safe and stable world." But if you want the Haiyan River to be clear, you must first bleed and drift, and you must have this awareness......

Xun Yu is a loyal minister of the Han family, mainly based on Cao Cao, just because he is virtuous enough and loves talents, and he has the ability to conquer the world.

As if he didn't want to continue, Cao Cao suddenly raised his voice: "Zixuan, when are you going to hear it?"

Qi Han was startled, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly grabbed his robe and turned to the door, and stepped in.

Xun Yu didn't expect that the eldest prince still had the habit of listening to the corner, and the already frowning eyebrows picked it up. Since Cao Ang came, he just took the opportunity to get out. Xun Yu hurriedly bowed to Cao Cao and retreated silently.

Before going out, he was passing by Qi Han.

Xun Yu's mind flickered, and he suddenly whispered to Qi Han: "...... Childe, if you are free, please go and see Fengxiao. ”

Qi Han didn't know why, blinked and looked over suspiciously, but saw Xun Yu hanging his head, silent, and hurriedly exiting the hall.

"Child...... Met my father. ”

For more than a month, Qi Han had already read through Cao Ang's memory, although he didn't say that everything was detailed, but he still didn't dare to miss the key points. For example, at this moment, he made the number of rituals very thoroughly, and even the posture of the salute was exactly the same.

The waist is slightly arched, the shoulders are flat, and the arms are like drums. Two inches of leisure, the end of the face of the tassel. The posture of the Qiong tree, not shaking at all, lowered his eyes, and his face was sincere.

After such a long time, and Cao Cao didn't speak, a layer of fine sweat gradually appeared on Qi Han's forehead.

The hands of the salute also began to tremble slightly.

Cao Cao's hand caressed his chin, and he was sitting on top of the steps, looking at him casually with a smile on his face.

Just when Qi Han was about to lose his support, he spoke up.

"Sit down, Ziyu. ”

The deep voice, compared to the previous anger, showed a bit of lazy sexiness.

Qi Han lowered his head and sat down on his right hand. With this action, the robe was draped in the wind, and only then did I feel the cold sweat on my back.

Cao Cao smiled: "If you don't return for half a year, you will have such a life with me?" ”

Qi Han's heart was shocked, and his breathing was inexplicably irregular. Cao Cao's momentum was too strong, and the heavy and almost substantial coercion made him breathless.

Qi Han subconsciously stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and then raised his chin, impartially, and looked towards Cao Cao.

"The child doesn't dare. Father...... Always a father. ”

Qi Han's throat was a little dry, and he said it in a restrained manner.

Cao Cao was silent, pursed his thin lips, stared at his pair of black and white phoenix eyes, and looked at him for a long time. It's been so long that it seems to peek a flower out of it.

After a while, he sighed softly, his face slightly tired.

"Zixuan...... his voice was deep, "what have you experienced outside?" that night, you were seriously injured in the Shuhe Village, and you were ...... How was it healed?"

He had seen Zhang Xiu's swords and arrows fired at the same time, inflicted on his eldest son......

At that time, he rode the Dawanliang horse given up by Cao Ang and fled.

That scene was bloody and dazzling, and Cao Cao didn't want to remember it again in his life. Therefore, since returning to Beijing, he held back his anger, but did not immediately ask Cao Ang, not only because Cao Ang's disobedience ruthlessly punished him, but also because of that incident, he felt ashamed in his heart, as soon as he saw Cao Ang, he would feel like a coward who had fled as an outcast.

Cao Cao's heart was very conflicted. Obviously, this time he marched eastward and crusaded against Lu Bu to save Cao Ang, but when he brought people back to Xudu, he was already unwilling to see him.

Qi Han said: "When the child woke up, he was rescued by a stranger. His name is Dong Feng, he lives in Nanyang and practices medicine everywhere. ”

He didn't talk about the details of being rescued, and left Cao Cao to imagine it himself.

Cao Cao was silent, just staring into his eyes. Qi Han's heart was cold, but he had to go on to say, "I don't know why, maybe it's the influence of drugs, after the child wakes up, he only remembers that his name is Qi Han." That Dong Feng didn't know the identity of the child, and guided me to Youzhou to join Gongsun Zhan. The child went all the way to Beixincheng, where he was used by General Yan Ji to make a plan to repel the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Wu Huan. Later, he came to Xuzhou and got acquainted with Lu Bu and others...... Later, when I returned to Xudu, I heard my mother say that my father was deceived and thought that Lu Bu was under house arrest for the child......"

"Amnesia?" Cao Cao looked at him with a smile, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this later." Tell me first, why did you force me to die on that day, and let the thief go......? My son has colluded with the Assassins to murder his father?"

As soon as his words fell, a pair of slender eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he looked at Qi Han without blinking for a moment, and the whiteness of the corners of his eyes gradually turned red.

That's killing intent......

Qi Han's neck was cold, and he suddenly felt a sad emotion. His lips were pursed, and he whispered, "Father...... Father...... I didn't have ......"

That trace of sourness is the emotion that Cao Ang still has in his body...... A sincere admiration for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that his lips were pale, and his eyes flashed slightly, but then sank again.

Qi Han knew that Cao Cao was suspicious, but he didn't want his temperament to be so complicated and unpredictable.

His throat moved slightly, and he bowed his head slightly under coercion: "That person...... It is a close friend that the child made when he was in North New Town. ”

"Best friend......" Cao Cao's finger tapped lightly beside the case, and he seemed to be careless, "His surname is Zhao." The word dragon ......"

Qi Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought: This must have been told by Liu Bei again!

He gritted his teeth and continued, "Zilong once said to me, my father and Uncle Yuanrang...... Destroy his house all over the house. At that time, the child was at the altar of prayer, and he didn't know his identity at all, so my father misunderstood me and rebelled...... It wasn't until I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that I gradually remembered it. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Cao Cao snorted slightly. With his hand on his chin and stroking his beard, his body leaned back slightly, "Even if you lose your memory, but your Miaocai uncle has already informed you of your identity at that time, you still coerce me with a sword and let that Zhao Zilong leave." Ziyu-you, but my Cao Mengde's child......" His slender eyes were slightly slender, and the cold light swept coldly on Qi Han's body, "How important is that person, he can make you disobey your biological father!"

For the sake of a man, he didn't even care about his biological father's life, and he dared to force him to let go of the thief with his favor......

Cao Cao's heart was like a fire burning, his mood changed suddenly, his voice became extremely cold, and he slammed on the desk!

Qi Han raised his head in shock, and his heart skipped a beat against Cao Cao's reddened eyes. The pre-conceived wording seemed so powerless under Cao Cao's rageβ€”he knew that he couldn't make any more excuses.

Cao Cao could believe the previous experience, but he couldn't explain Zhao Yun's matter.

He disobeyed his biological father, forced him so much, and let go of the person who wanted to kill his father in public......

Cao Cao trembled with annoyance, pointed at him and said angrily: "From now on, you must not see that Zhao Zilong again! I will also issue a proclamation, go through the paperwork, draw shadows and figures, arrest this person, and once I get it, I will ......cut it with a thousand knives."

Qi Han raised his head suddenly when he heard this, his eyes were like cold stars, and he looked at him awe-inspiringly.

Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and he narrowed his eyes. Half of his lips were curled, and he looked at him with a sneer.

"Rebel, how dare you disobey me?" Cao Cao heard the roots of his teeth ringing.

Qi Han exhaled heavily in his nose, but he swallowed the words back into his throat and did not speak.

The two of them were suddenly silent and silent, and the empty hall seemed to be filled with the cold air of the three winters, shuttling through each other, cold and piercing.

Cao Cao's sharp sword eyes seemed to poke Qi Han out of a transparent hole, and he gradually lost his patience.

The warmth in his eyes was gone, but he softened his voice: "My son." When I was young, who had never indulged in presumptuousness? When I changed my name and changed my surname, I was like a lost dog, and when everyone was fighting each other, I also met a person......

Qi Han frowned and listened, knowing that he was talking about the time when he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was wanted by various states and counties.

Cao Cao seemed to drift away from his thoughts, looking up at the void, "Zhongmu County." Zhongmu County ...... There was a man who rescued me from the pitch black prison. That night, the stars were shining, the night wind was cold, I was hungry, unkempt, bruised, and my thin cloth was stained with blood. The man took off his warm cotton robe and gave it to me. He was not only born elegant and handsome, but also resourceful and brilliant. He plotted for me and got Yanzhou...... When it was pitch black before my eyes, the man was the only light. I also thought that I would love him forever and never change it in this life. ”

Qi Han clenched his fists and looked at him quietly.

Cao Cao sneered: "...... But then, the man turned away from me. also took advantage of me to lead the army south to seek my Yanzhou with others...... I was so angry that I couldn't care about anything, and I went back in anger, just wanting to catch him, put him to death, and let him taste the betrayal of me!

When the words fell, he raised his eyebrows and waited for Qi Han to answer.

saw Qi Han looking at him calmly, and said lightly: "Father, we are different from you. ”

Cao Cao laughed, picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink: "Ridiculous!" His movements were rough and indecent, causing the cloudy wine to roll down his black mustache.

"I'm not Cao Mengde, Zhao Zilong, or Chen Gongtai. Qi Han said.

Cao Cao's expression suddenly became colder, as if a storm was coming.

His eyes were no longer even a little warm, and he said in a deep voice, "My son." ”

He laughed, "My son." You're still my child. Wake up, when will you wake up, when will I make your life worthy of the name. His smile was still cold.

Qi Han was silent.

Cao Cao looked at him for a long time, and suddenly changed the subject: "Then after Liu Bei entered the palace, His Majesty checked the royal family tree and called him the imperial uncle." Then you say, what kind of official should I give him?"

Liu Bei falsely claimed that Lu Bu imprisoned Qi Han and led Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou in a big way, and he lied very well afterwards. Mi Zhu and other famous people in the East China Sea all testified together, and everyone under Lu Bu's command said that Qi Gongzi had become Lu Bu's confiner, so Liu Bei was no wonder about this matter. Cao Cao didn't go to the bottom of it, after all, Liu Bei did cooperate with him to defeat Xuzhou.

Qi Han knew that Cao Cao at this time had not yet taken Liu Bei in his eyes, let alone tried to deal with him, maybe he had the heart to test Liu Bei, but it was impossible to deal with this person because of his words.

So Qi Han said: "Father, you can raise him as Yuzhou Mu, General Zuo...... There is only one point, detention in Beijing. ”

Cao Cao glanced at him meaningfully, smiled deeply, and was noncommittal. This time, even Qi Han couldn't see what he was thinking.

But Qi Han knew one thing very clearly - the higher Liu Bei's position was raised at this time, the day he would turn his back on Cao Cao in the future, 166 Reading Network
