Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xudu.

After the careful conditioning of the imperial doctor, the four sages have improved slightly, but after all, they are old and can no longer go to the ground.

And today, it is the first time that Liu Xie has come to visit him.

Liu Xie didn't come before, not because of all the troubles, but because of ...... He didn't know what to do.

Emperor? Old friends? Or juniors.

But since the four sages have been taken over, no matter what, they will meet after all.

In the end, he came over accompanied by Cao Cao.

……

Looking at the four sages lying on the bed, Liu Xie's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When he first entered the imperial city, this old man was still very energetic, but now he ......

He sat quietly on the chair in front of the bed, and behind him, Cao Cao stood.

"Virtuous elder, are you still used to living in the palace?"

"Your Majesty's daily affairs are full of opportunities, and the ministers can't share their worries for Your Majesty, and worry about Your Majesty, and the capital crime is ......"

"Alas......" Liu Xie sighed and didn't continue to say anything.

"Your Majesty, the minister said to ...... before" The four sages only said a few words, and when they saw Liu Xie shaking his head, he didn't say any more.

"Virtuous elder, I know the matter of Concubine Dong in my heart, and I can't complain about others."

"Your Majesty needs no comfort."

"Hehe, I'm not comforting the virtuous elders. In fact, since I left Chang'an, I deeply felt that the power of those old ministers was too heavy, but I didn't want to be the same for people of Concubine Dong's age. Elder Xian, may I ask you about it? ”

"Your Majesty has asked, how dare the minister not say it."

"Who does the virtuous old man think of Meng De?"

"For selfishness, he is kind to his ministers; Yu Gong, he ...... It is a hidden danger of the Han Dynasty. The four sages did not shy away from saying as they spoke, looking at Cao Cao laboriously.

Cao Cao just smiled back.

"Why is Elder Xian so decisive?"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the military situation in the place where Xu Du sent troops now, and Your Majesty knows everything?"

"Meng De used soldiers, I don't worry, I didn't ask."

"Your Majesty thinks so, but the courtiers are not."

"Huh?" Liu Xie was a little puzzled.

"In the eyes of those old ministers, it is Meng De's dictatorship, in other words, he is no different from Dong Zhuo and Li Dao."

"When the virtuous old man said this, he was different from those old ministers, but why did he say that Meng De was a hidden danger?"

"Your Majesty's reliance on Meng De too much will only make them feel disappointed and feel that they are not being valued. Over time, resentment will arise. ”

"Alas......" Liu Xie sighed again.

The words of the four sages can no longer be understood.

Those old ministers are also human beings, and they are just ordinary people, so naturally they also have ordinary thoughts.

What the four sages said is actually just one of the most basic feelings of people - jealousy.

The more Liu Xie reused Cao Cao, the more red and annoyed those old ministers became.

When this emotion erupts, chaos is born.

Pathetic, pathetic, lamentable.

More hateful.

Liu Xie really had the intention to remove all these pedantic ministers, but he couldn't do so.

They are deeply entrenched in the DPRK and China, and naturally have their own henchmen.

One or two may be fine, but if they are all replaced, I am afraid that I will be said by them to be a faint king.

At that time, Xudu will become another Luoyang and another Chang'an.

It is the people who suffer.

Looking at the old eyes of the four sages, Liu Xie smiled helplessly.

"Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven...... The son of heaven is a prisoner of the common governor of all peoples. ”

"Your Majesty," Cao Cao didn't speak, and at this time Liu Xie sighed bitterly, and he suddenly spoke: "The old thoughts have been accumulated for a long time, but if Your Majesty has a heart, I am willing to help Your Majesty eradicate it." ”

Cao Cao's words were simple, but they calmed Liu Xie down from his helplessness.

Yes, what about those old ministers who are jealous, they are the emperor, if they have no ideas, they will not live up to the loyal people.

"Your Majesty," the four sages suddenly felt touched when they heard Cao Cao say this: "The minister thought that if Meng De was removed, he might be able to calm the grievances of those old ministers. But at this time, the minister was glad that he couldn't get his hands on it. ”

"Oh?"

"Only by being a wise man and a virtuous minister can he calm the troubled times and save the people, and the foolish views of the previous ministers were too narrow."

"The virtuous old man is also for the world." Cao Cao said to the four sages.

"The old man's life is not long, and the responsibility of protecting His Majesty depends on Meng De."

Cao Cao was still smiling and nodded at the four sages.

Liu Xie couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief - the dead knot entangled between the three of them was finally untied.

Looking at the clear sky outside the window, Liu Xie's chest was indescribably happy.
