Chapter 6 Mountains and Rivers 6. Monarchs and Ministers Talk at Night
Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xudu.
"Your Majesty......" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie in front of him, and was indeed a little surprised.
It's late at night now, and Cao Cao is still surprised who would come to visit so late, but he didn't expect it to be Emperor Han himself.
He has been back for a few days, and even if he mourned Cao Ang before, Liu Xie only sent the four sages to express his condolences.
"I didn't come to condolence before, Aiqing won't blame me." Although it was a very relaxed tone, that sad feeling was revealed from Liu Xie's eyes.
He had met Cao Ang and admired this smiling, straightforward and brave young man.
Although it is inevitable that casualties will be used in battlefield battles, Liu Xie never thought that Cao Ang would die.
Of course, not to mention the fierce general Dian Wei.
Today, Liu Xie is here in secret, in fact, the emperor also has the emperor's hardships.
After arriving in Xudu, he became more and more aware of the pressure of being a ruler.
The DPRK and China were clearly divided into one faction that supported Cao Cao and another faction that opposed him.
This courtier, who has a meritorious escort, has become the target of public criticism.
But Liu Xie couldn't say a word for Cao Cao, because doing so would only make this contradiction more and more intense.
Even if he came here today, it wasn't just to comfort Cao Cao.
"Aiqing's eldest son sacrificed his life for the country, I shouldn't have been so unkind at this time, but there are some things, but I can't delay it any longer."
Of course, Cao Cao knew what he was talking about, so he restrained his emotions and respectfully bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, but you have a life, and the minister will not give up." ”
"Never give up...... If you go, who else can I rely on? ”
This...... It should be the emperor's highest praise, but Cao Cao is really not happy at the moment.
"Your Majesty knows what you are worried about. The minister has ordered Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban to command 50,000 troops to go to the conquest, and the generals of the Qingzhou Army Nie Hong and other generals will also move accordingly. As for Zhang Xiu...... When the minister withdrew, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu led 10,000 elite soldiers to stay behind, and they should be able to fight against them. It's just that now the minister still has a concern, and he will help His Majesty. ”
"Aiqing just speaks."
Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, although they did not show their anti-attitude, they always raised their flags and watched. The minister is worried that this time the troops will be used on all sides, and they will take the opportunity to raise troops. ”
"Then how does Aiqing want me to help you?"
"The ministers asked Your Majesty to issue a reward to appease the generals of Xiliang, and ordered Zhong Xuan to hold the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong, the governor of the festival, to stabilize them temporarily."
"The edict can be drafted by Aiqing."
“…… It's better for Your Majesty to draft it. ”
When Liu Xie heard Cao Cao say this, he sighed and said, "It's okay." ”
Cao Cao is right, although this is Liu Xie's trust in him, but this kind of thing should not be done by Cao Cao.
If someone with a heart hears it, it is not impossible to frame him for being an edict.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is always good to pay attention to everything.
Liu Xie smiled bitterly, "Aiqing, I now feel that I am the biggest prisoner in the world, and people all over the world are watching me. ”
Cao Cao also smiled bitterly, "This is the helplessness of being the Son of Heaven." ”
The monarch looked at each other and smiled again.
"Aiqing, there is something I didn't want to say."
"If it's inconvenient, Your Majesty won't say it."
"If it were someone else, maybe I would really keep my mouth shut."
Cao Cao's expression was serious again, because he knew that what Liu Xie was going to say next would not be easy.
"Aiqing," Liu Xie still hesitated, but finally spoke, "Beware of the four sages and Concubine Dong." ”
Liu Xie's words stunned Cao Cao.
I can't go into too much detail, but Liu Xie can say this to him, and he is already benevolent enough.
"The only thing I can help you with is a verbal will—if there is a change in the palace, Aiqing can make her own decision."
This is something that Concubine Dong and the four sages don't know, and after Liu Xie arrived in Xudu, he had established his own intelligence network with the support of Cao Cao.
Concubine Dong secretly summoned the four sages, and he already knew about it.
It's just that he still wants to pretend that he doesn't know, after all, he really doesn't want to see the rebirth of the Han Ting that has just stabilized.
At this moment when external troubles are everywhere, internal worries are also exposed......
……
After sending Liu Xie away, Cao Cao couldn't sleep anymore.
In fact, the dispatch of soldiers and horses, as well as the arrangements for Ma Teng and others, were all done by Xun Yu.
It's just that Guo Jia told him.
Since his return, Guo Jia has not seen Cao Cao again.
After all, Cao Ang and Dian Wei's deaths have some of his reasons.
It's just that at this moment, those children's personal affairs have to be put aside for the time being.
Although he was already a child, Cao Cao still ordered people to prepare horses, took Xu Chu and other personal guards, and ran towards Guo Jia's residence overnight.
Some things, after all, still need to be supported by "wizards of troubled times".
