Chapter 312: Emperor Liu Xie

Huang Quan continued to coerce and lure in Xun Yu's mansion, but Xun Yu was unmoved! But Xu Zhu kept sending people to urge, but Xun Yu was a little upset. Cao Cao had just sent an empty food box, and it was obvious that it was impossible for a reckless man like Xu Zhu, who was simple-minded and had developed limbs, to know Cao Cao's intentions. He only knew that Xun Yu had stayed behind in the past, and Xu Yun was also full of economic wealth, and he must have a way to retreat from the enemy!

And Cao Cao did not explain to Xu Zhu and others before leaving, and he wanted to closely monitor Xun Yu. In Cao Cao's opinion, getting rid of Xun Yu in this way is to let Xun Yu die a dignified death, with his understanding of Xun Yu, Xun Yu will definitely not resist! Of course, Cao Cao would never have dreamed that Liu Cong, who had just captured Yizhou and was sleepy and lacking people, would actually attack Xuchang!

After a period of careful consideration, Xun Yu stood up and said to Huang Quan: "General Huang, Xun thank you for your kindness. It's just that Cao Gong doesn't allow me anymore, and it's meaningless for me to live in the world! You can take my token to meet the Son of Heaven, as for whether the Son of Heaven is willing to go with you, whether you can escape from Xuchang City depends on General Huang's ability.

After General Huang walked out of this gate, Xun was about to go up to the city wall to arrange defenses......"

Huang Quan took Xun Yu's token, held it in his hand and asked, "Sir, what are you...... Won't Mr. Quan meet the Son of Heaven with Quan? Huang Quan was a little dazed, this Xun Yu wanted to say that he wouldn't help himself, but he took out the token, and now Cao Cao is out on the expedition, in this Xuchang City, Xun Yu's token is afraid that it can be unimpeded.

But if he wants to say that he intends to help, he will go to arrange defenses later, and he is afraid that his every move is under his control, so how can he escape? Do you want to run away with the emperor Lao'er?

"General Huang, if you can escape, I hope the general will tell General Zhengnan, I hope he won't embarrass my Xun clansmen, after all, they are innocent! It's that Xun has no relationship with the general, and Yu once again thanks General Zhengnan for his love......"

Xun Yu spoke in a low tone, and his speed was crowded, and in Huang Quan's opinion, it seemed like parting. However, Xun Yu has also made it clear enough that the Xun clan is in the hands of Liu Cong, he Xun Yu will not embarrass Huang Quan, whether he can escape depends on Huang Quan's own creation! This is already the biggest compromise for Yi Xunyu! If it weren't for Cao Cao's desire to force him to death, Xun Yu would definitely not be so open-minded.

Huang Quan listened, he knew that it was not good to stay for a long time, if this scholar identified one thing, he was afraid that it would be difficult to change it, right now, he must meet the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, if Xun Yu can't take it away, he can rescue the Son of Heaven, and it can be regarded as completing more than half of the task of this trip! At that moment, Huang Quan gave a big gift to Xun Yu: "Thank you Mr. for your care, if Quan can escape today, he will definitely persuade my lord to treat Mr. and his clan well!" Good bye! ”

Huang Quan walked out of Xun Yu's mansion, and the Jinyi guard who answered the door was already waiting very anxiously, and when he saw Huang Quan coming out safely, he immediately surrounded him: "Head, how is it?" ”

"Let's go to the palace!" Huang Quan was in a very unhappy mood at the moment, he knew that maybe Xun Yu would choose to commit suicide soon after he left! With his little contact with Xun Yu, coupled with the respect of his lord Liu Cong, Huang Quan also admired Xun Yu very much, but when he thought that he couldn't convince Xun Yu, and Xun Yu had to stubbornly obey Cao Cao's orders, Huang Quan felt that such a good capable person was a pity!

However, Huang Quan saw that Xun Yu was determined, and he was not easy to disturb, he knew that scholars still had to be respected, so he now hoped to be able to successfully rescue the Son of Heaven, in this way, the sneak attack on Xuchang deployed by the lord this time, in addition to persuading Xun Yu, the other two purposes are also good as long as they are achieved, especially to rescue the Son of Heaven, which is the main purpose of Liu Cong's attack. After coming out of Xun Yu's mansion, Huang Quan did not stop for a moment, and led his subordinates straight to the palace.

Let's talk about this emperor Liu Xie, he was born on April 2, 181 A.D. His ancestral home was Pei County (now Pei County, Jiangsu), and he was born in Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan). The second son of Emperor Ling of Han, he ascended the throne in 189 AD. At first, he was named the King of Bohai, and later changed to the King of Chenliu; In 189 AD, Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Wei and established Liu Xie as the emperor. After Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's troops attacked Li Dao and others into Chang'an, held him hostage again, and later escaped from Chang'an. In 196 AD, Cao Cao took control of Liu Xie and moved the capital to Xu County, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, named Wang Rong (later posthumously known as "Queen Linghuai"), is the granddaughter of Wang Bao, the former general of the five facial features, and the daughter of Wang Zhang.

At that time, it was Empress He who dominated the harem of Emperor Ling, who was born in a butcher's family, and was elected to the palace and became the queen by bribing the eunuchs, and was very jealous of Wang Meiren. Therefore, when Wang Meiren was pregnant with Liu Xie, she was afraid of provoking Queen He's deeper jealousy, so she didn't tell Emperor Ling, but secretly had an abortion. But taking the abortion pill did not work, and the child was born. Queen He was really jealous, afraid that Wang Meiren would further threaten her status if she had a son, so she instructed someone to secretly put the poison in the decoction that Wang Meiren took after giving birth, and Wang Meiren died immediately after drinking it.

When Emperor Ling heard the news, he went to the harem to inspect it, and saw that Wang Meiren's limbs were blue and black, and he knew that he was poisoned and died, so he urgently ordered the murderer to be traced, and soon found out that it was Queen He. Emperor Ling couldn't help but be furious, intending to depose Empress He immediately. Empress He had used a huge amount of money to buy off the eunuch Cao Jie and others who were trusted by Emperor Ling, and the eunuchs knelt down together, why did the queen intercede, and Emperor Ling actually pardoned Queen He. Liu Xie was not yet full-term at this time, and Emperor Ling was afraid that Liu Xie would be assassinated again if he left Liu Xie in the harem, so he took him to Yongle Palace and asked Empress Dowager Dong to raise him. Since then, Liu Xie has relied on the Dong family as a foreigner.

In his later years, Emperor Ling was faced with the problem of choosing a prince. Empress He was born to a prince Liu Bian, who was fostered in the home of a Taoist surnamed Shi since she was a child. Liu Bian is older than Liu Xie, and he was born to the queen, so the position of the prince is the only one. But Liu Bian's demeanor was frivolous and did not have the majestic temperament that a monarch should have. Liu Xie grew up in Yongle Palace since he was a child, and was carefully raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, with dignified manners and was deeply loved by Emperor Ling. In addition, his mother Wang Meiren died unexpectedly, and Emperor Ling inevitably had a heart of compassion, so he was inclined to make Liu Xie the crown prince in his heart. However, this is contrary to the royal tradition of putting the heir first, so he can't make up his mind for a long time.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and his widow entrusted Liu Xie to the eunuch Captain Jian Shuo. In April, Emperor Ling died, and Liu was appointed as the emperor, which was the young emperor. Empress He also changed her name to Empress Dowager He and handled government affairs in the court. But the power of the state has actually been grasped. Liu Xie was named the king of Bohai, and later changed the title to Chen Liuwang. Since then, the eunuchs of the inner palace and the important ministers of the court have launched a struggle for power and profit.

First He Jin hunted and killed Jian Shuo, then the eunuchs Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others killed He Jin, and Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili School, and Hu Ben Zhonglang led Yuan Shu and He Jin's generals to counterattack, and killed 2,000 eunuchs at once. Zhang Rang, Duan Jue and others were powerless to fight back, and kidnapped the young emperor and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, and fled. After Shangshu Lu Zhi led the army to chase after him, he killed Zhang Rang and Duan Gui, and welcomed the young emperor and Liu Xie back to the palace. Dong Zhuo thought that he was of the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, who adopted Liu Xie, and Liu Xie himself was more talented than Liu Xian, so from this moment on, Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the young emperor and set up Liu Xie as the emperor.

After returning to the capital, Dong Zhuo's army took full control of the situation. So Dong Zhuo forced the young emperor to dismiss Sikong Liu Hong and put himself in his position. Then, Dong Zhuo convened a meeting of hundreds of officials in the capacity of Sikong, and proposed to change the appointment of Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor. The officials were shocked, but because of Dong Zhuo's obscenity, no one dared to object. The next day, Dong Zhuo announced the abolition of the young emperor Liu Bi, and set up Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, in order to present the emperor, at the age of 9. From then on, Liu Xie began his long career as a puppet emperor.

To say that the puppet career of this little emperor is really a long road...... First Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo was killed, and then he was kidnapped to Chang'an, so he couldn't escape, and Xuchang, who was greeted by Cao Cao, thought that Cao Cao was a loyal minister, and the result can be imagined...... In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's monopoly on power, and was unwilling to be a puppet, so he secretly issued an edict to order Dong Guiren's father, Dong Cheng, a chariot general, to try to kill Cao Cao.

Dong Chengsui conspired with General Liu Bei, Captain Changshui, General Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, etc., but the matter was revealed, Dong Cheng and others were all killed by Cao Cao, and the pregnant Dong Guiren was also hanged. Empress Fu was afraid of Cao Cao, so she wrote to her father Fu Wan, recounting Cao Cao's cruel and unkind things, hoping that Fu Wan could follow Dong Cheng and eradicate the ministers, but Fu Wan never dared to act.

And the cunning Liu Bei even said yes and fled. Therefore, Liu Xie fell into despair for a while, and gradually quieted down. It wasn't until the sudden appearance of Liu Cong in the tenth year of Jian'an that Liu Xie ignited a glimmer of hope. However, a few years later, seeing that Liu Cong had not acted for a long time, Liu Xie thought that Liu Cong was just like Liu Bei, who wanted his title of Qinfeng, and they had no time to care about his own life and death!

And Cao Cao, in order to control and stabilize Liu Xie, also made a bloody investment, and recruited a large number of Chinese beauties for Liu Xie to enjoy, and even posted several of his daughters into it. Of course, Cao Cao and Song Shang's own daughter was not simply a plaything for Liu Xie, he was coveting the position of the queen while closely monitoring Liu Xie, who was gradually maturing in his mind.

Liu Xie also felt Cao Cao's increasingly powerful oppression, but when Huang Quan and others appeared in front of him, he was still taken aback, he didn't expect that a similar joke was remembered by Liu Cong. Liu Cong really thinks he is the emperor? Do you still think you're an older brother? When he learned of Huang Quan's intention, Liu Xie rejected Huang Quan: "If you don't go, I won't leave!" ”

Huang Quan was anxious when he heard this, what kind of trouble is this master going to make? I couldn't get into Xuchang, and I got Xun Yu's warrant with all my might. This master actually refuses to leave?
