Chapter 58: I can't rest assured

"Your Majesty, you are drunk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

It was when there was no one in the Jiade Palace, the left and right palace maids and eunuchs were withdrawn outside the palace, and the emperor Liu Xie sat in the hall alone, and the light of the nine palace lamps was not comparable to the sunlight outside the palace.

It looks a little dim.

Liu Xie heard the sound, steady footsteps and a warm voice, he didn't need to listen to it to know that it was Prime Minister Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister Cao, what kind of majesty am I?"

Liu Xie's voice was full of magnetism, but at the moment, his tone was full of sadness.

He was just twenty-eight years old, and twenty-eight years old was just when a man was heroic, not to mention that this man was still an emperor.

The Liu family has produced many young kings, and they have already done a lot of great things at the age of twenty-eight. Emperor Xiaowu was twenty-eight years old and appointed Weiqing as a general and beheaded 30,000 Xiongnu. At the age of twenty-eight, Emperor Guangwu fought with the rebel army in all directions...... But what about the twenty-eight-year-old Liu Xie? But he could only live in his own deep palace, feeling that the emperor's authority was getting smaller and smaller. I can only watch in amazement as other people's kingdoms grow bigger and bigger.

The more Liang Guo worked hard, the more uncomfortable Liu Xie's heart became.

It was like the dragon tendon being pulled out of the dragon's body, and he felt that above his great Han, there was a fat moth sucking the flesh and blood of the Han Empire and growing, the Han Empire was getting smaller and smaller, and the moth had grown into a monster!

Where is the Han now? From the Yumen Pass to the Zhongshan Fortress, the situation of the return of the horses, the fluttering of those cities are all cool flags!

Fuck, he's the emperor!

"You...... Your Majesty, of course. ”

Cao Cao's words were full of determination and persistence, in the past few years, he has manipulated the government, tried his best to deal with those ministers in the court, and has become the only overlord of the Luoyang court from a foreign state herd, and he doesn't remember how many risks there were. But he still always remembers one thing, that is, why he chose to stand on the court after the dispute between Yuan Benchu and Ma Junhao.

The man who can gain a foothold in the previous troubled times, which one can not hide ten thousand scrolls of Tao strategy in his chest, and which one does not have the ambition of the bird in his heart?

He came to Luoyang to prevent Ma Yue from seeking power and usurping the throne in an uncontrollable situation! He also wanted to ensure that the world would not fall apart in the disputes of the princes.

Although, having such an emperor above his head made him seem constrained many times.

Although he felt that it was a very unwise choice for the emperor to crown Ma Yue as king, he also thought that if he was in Ma Yue's position, he might do the same as him...... But he must be better than Ma Yue!

Because Ma Yue didn't know how to get along with the old scholars, and he knew it very well.

Cao Cao was influenced by his background in the first half of his life, and hated his birth after being a eunuch. But in the second half of his life, Cao Cao believed very much that his background could really affect a person's fate, and he was grateful to God for giving him such a background.

Because birth determines a person's experience. And under the same experience, how to choose becomes a person's destiny.

"With that kind of teacher on your head! Where do I still look like an emperor, Prime Minister Cao! Liu Xie suddenly looked a little hysterical after getting Cao Cao's affirmation, got up and pointed to the west and scolded: "He built the capital in the west!" I didn't let him go out of Tongguan, he entered Jizhou from Jizhou, and then from Jizhou to Qingzhou, and now Xuzhou and Yuzhou are all going to enter the hands of Liangguo! Privately set up a state pastor, placed hundreds of officials, and drove troops to the north and south...... He once had the emperor in his eyes! ”

Cao Cao had been looking at Liu Xie, who was dressed in black and red imperial clothes, and gritted his teeth, he waited for Liu Xie to finish venting without saying a word, and then nodded quietly and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want?" ”

Cao Cao stopped Liu Xie, in fact, Liu Xie never had the time and experience to ask what he wanted. All he knows is that he is the emperor!

His father had cultivated him as his successor, and his most respected gentleman in the past, and now the most disgusted Liang Wang had also taught him those imperial mental techniques, and even Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others were not without surprise...... Everyone cultivates him as an emperor, and he is really an emperor, but what's the use?

The soldiers and horses of the Liang State guarded the various passes, and he could not command the surrounding princes, and even Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two princes, were limited to their own state and could only protect the territory under the offensive of the Jiangdong anti-thief Sun Jian. The talents are all in the prime minister's shogunate, and the old ministers in the entire court obey their orders, but they don't have much real power in their hands. And although Cao Cao also listened, he couldn't order him.

Even the captain of the period gate who guarded the palace ban was Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang...... What did he, the emperor, use to order Cao Cao?

Now Cao Cao came to ask himself, what did he want?

Of course, he wants the whole world to be like his ancestors, close to the Liu family, believe in the Liu family, and promote peace in the sea and peace in the country. But is this possible?

Liu Xie took a deep breath, glanced at Cao Cao twice, sat back on his couch, picked up the wine jug, raised his head and poured two sips, and did not speak.

He was just a bird imprisoned in a noble cage of golden threads.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie with soft eyes, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has had many opportunities to really take charge of the government and drive Ma Junhao to fight for you when King Liang's heart is on the court...... Don't be in a hurry to deny it, the minister doesn't know the current King Liang, but the minister knows Captain Ma, General Ma, and Ma Zhoumu, and even, the minister knows Ma Junhao, who was locked up in Huangmen Temple by the first emperor. Many of the things he went through may not be known to you, Your Majesty, but Chan has known him since he was sixteen.

Chen never thought he was a good man, and a good man in the ordinary sense would not be imprisoned in Huaili Prison at the age of sixteen.

But if it weren't for his bloody battle in Jizhou, maybe the Taiping Dao bandits would have subverted the world.

If it weren't for the fact that he braved the obstacles of the samurai of the period gate to rush into this hall when the first emperor died, you might not be alive now.

If it weren't for the fact that he assassinated His Majesty's uncle with the shouting and scolding that Qianfu pointed out, and used thunderous means to sweep away all the different voices in Luoyang, the imperial couch you are sitting on now is likely to be your brother, the King of Hongnong.

The first emperor trusted him unconditionally, and even ascended to the position of a partial general from a small life...... Later, the first emperor also had injustice and suspicion against him, so he imprisoned him in Huangmen Temple, and even in the most dangerous moment, he would not let him out, but he came out by himself...... Perhaps his distrust of the royal family is that from that moment he picked you up from the arms of the former emperor, the royal family has lost his trust.

The general Ma that the minister knew was the brightest general in the world in that era, covering everyone's light, and it seemed that as long as he wanted to do something, the whole world would come to help him. The emperor trusted him, the eunuchs helped him, and even the military eunuch Jian Shuo, who looked at the three princes with his nose, would personally praise him. Such a person does not have any family wealth, and relies on the relief of his brother, who is a merchant in Liangzhou, to ensure the life of the mansion.

At that time, he was a rare confidant in the world. ”

Cao Cao said quietly, his voice echoing in the empty hall, and the words hit Liu Xie's heart.

reminded him of the night when his father died, Ma Yue, who was covered in blood, kicked open the palace door, held himself in his arms and asked word by word, kill He Jin, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and the queen mother will supervise the country, is it okay?

How good it was at that time, Ma Yue was the sharpest steel knife in the royal family, and it was also his strongest armor, as long as he could see Ma Yue, he could feel at ease when he was young on the throne.

It's as if the whole empire is safe and sound.

But it seems that everyone doesn't like him, the imperial grandmother doesn't like him, the imperial uncle doesn't like it, the old minister doesn't like it, and the little eunuch doesn't like it...... It was as if the whole world had abandoned him.

"Later, he became a pastor in Liangzhou, cleared the rebellion of Han Sui and Song Jian, and had territory and soldiers and horses." Cao Cao shrugged his shoulders and smiled, as if he remembered Ma Yue, who was the most powerful in his memory, "He made a brotherly alliance with his ministers, to sweep the universe from east to west, and to defeat all the traitors and return the Han dynasty to peace." The minister believed that he was true, because if he had any rebellion, you ascended the throne when he was in the middle of the day, and all the generals in the court who had soldiers and horses were killed by him, and the emperor was still young and the country was old, and that was the best opportunity, but he did nothing until Yuan Benchu forced him out of Luoyang...... Even in his hand, there were Xiliang reinforcements with Dong Zhuo and Ma playing, if he wanted to counterattack Luoyang, it would be as easy as a snap.

He didn't do anything, and led the Liangzhou herd to go away like a lost dog. Afterward...... He returned to Luoyang with thousands of horses and thousands of troops and killed Ben Chu. ”

Cao Cao had a rare trace of sadness on his face, but it was also fleeting, "The time he entered Luoyang, he should have wanted to master the government, because he already had Liangzhou and sought a source of soldiers and horses for the imperial court, and he felt that he could fight with the princes who were in rebellion in various places, so he returned here...... But you banished him. He didn't rebel at any time, so I believe that even now he is not opposed, because he could have rushed into the court and pulled you down from the throne, he just didn't want to do that. ”

"But you really lost Ma Junhao, lost Liangzhou, lost Bingzhou, lost Jizhou, lost Yizhou, lost Qingzhou, and even, you will lose Yuzhou and Xuzhou. But no one can go back, even if he is only proving to the world that he is right, and those lands will not be able to return to your rule, unless ...... War with Ryokoku. ”

"Therefore, the imperial court must get rid of useless officials, cut unnecessary expenses, and recruit troops!" Cao Cao didn't look at Liu Xie again, and said with a hint of disdain hidden in his eyes: "Don't drink anymore, a drunk man can't defeat Ma Yue, if you hope that on this day when the world is calm, you can personally establish him as the king of Liangwu...... You can't drink anymore. ”

Only the dead need a nickname.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao with a shocked gaze, although he deeply hated that Liang Guo had taken away the land that belonged to him, he had never thought of killing Ma Yue...... Looking at Cao Cao, who looked as usual, he stammered a little and asked, "He, isn't he the prime minister's, confidant?" ”

"It is precisely because of the confidant that I can't rest assured." Cao Cao smiled at Liu Xie with some difficulty, and then said earnestly: "Your Majesty, grow up to be a man, although it is not now...... But that day won't be long. ”
