Chapter 244: The Scholars
Without any surprise, Zhang He surrendered.
Not to mention the five thousand old and weak soldiers in the city, the key Xu Tian's army has already entered the city, and there are only two roads in front of him.
Surrender or pay the price, and that price is death!
It stands to reason that Zhang He would not choose the latter, and Xu Tian would not let him choose.
Even if it is not for the love of the year, Zhang He is also a general!
Therefore, the vast majority of people were still asleep, and Xu Du fell into Xu Tian's hands.
And Xu Tian also knew that even if he took Xu Du, he would not be able to hold it at all.
Although it didn't cost a single soldier, it was taken.
But as long as Cao Cao's army returns to defense, it will be taken in less than a day.
So, early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhang He, Xu Tian came to the palace again.
This was the second time Xu Tian had come here, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he looked at the huge palace in front of him.
He vaguely remembered that when he first came, it was just an ordinary chess game played by Cao Cao.
It was because of that time that he had a grudge with Situ Wang Ling at that time.
As a result, he didn't want to think about it for the rest of his life.
It was also at this time that Xu Tian had an impulse for the first time.
Such a majestic and huge palace, the emperor can have it, Cao Sun Liu can have it, then he Xu Tian can also have it!
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Xu Tian retracted his mind and walked towards the palace.
At this time, it was the time for hundreds of officials to go to court, although the current court was just an empty shell, and there was no right at all.
But they still happily insisted on going to court.
All the etiquette and procedures are still exactly the same as before.
Even in the hearts of most people, the world today is still the country of the Han Dynasty.
They themselves are still desirable and enviable members of the DPRK and China.
It may seem ridiculous, but they are willing to indulge in this fantasy.
They always believe that one day, everything will be fine.
The Han Dynasty, which is more than 400 years old, will not collapse like this.
It is precisely with this belief that they have been able to hold on to the present day under the almost crazy rule of Cao Cao in the later period.
When Xu Tian arrived at the door of the main hall, the hundred officials were kneeling and saluting the emperor.
Sighing lightly, Xu Tian shook his head, these people didn't know whether to call them pedantic or stupid.
With his footsteps lightly, Xu Tian stepped into the main hall.
Immediately, the dozens of shadow guards behind him rushed in with indifferent faces, stood on both sides, and surrounded everyone.
This sudden change surprised everyone in the hall.
Especially Emperor Han Xian, who was sitting in the middle of the main hall, stood up violently as soon as Xu Tian stepped into the hall.
"Bold! Who are you? An official on the left immediately stood up, pointed at Xu Tian and shouted angrily.
"What kind of place is this, you dare to trespass, don't you know that the law of the country is strict?!"
For this kind of reprimand, Xu Tian didn't bother to look at it.
The footsteps did not stop at all, and walked straight towards Emperor Han Xian in the middle.
The official who was directly ignored by Xu Tian immediately turned ugly.
His gaze immediately fell on Zhang He, who entered later.
"General Zhang does this, isn't he afraid that King Wei will be angry?"
"If you talk nonsense, I'll make you never open your mouth, do you believe it?!"
Zhang He's eyes were murderous, staring at the person who spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately fell into silence.
The official who was full of righteous indignation and eloquent words just now was scolded by Zhang He like this, and stood in place with a red face, not knowing what to do for a while!
Just as Xu Tian was getting closer and closer to the emperor, and was about to approach, a figure appeared directly in front of Xu Tian.
"I remember you, your name is Xu Tian, the guy who was rude to His Majesty back then!"
Standing in front of Xu Tian was a gray-haired man.
There are already some wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are full of vicissitudes.
Xu Tian still didn't speak, just stood silently in place, looking at each other.
"In front of the emperor, please respect yourself! Get out of here with your people! ”
"Zhang Yue!"
An angry shout came from behind Xu Tian, and Zhang He strode forward and came to Xu Tian's side.
"As a royal doctor, you can do your part!
I advise you, don't get an inch! ”
Zhang He's voice was cold, echoing in the hall.
"Haha..."Zhang Yue looked up to the sky and laughed, looking at Zhang He's eyes full of disdain and disdain.
"I said a long time ago that Cao Cao will be unlucky one day!
I didn't expect this day to come so soon, he shouldn't have thought that he would raise such a white-eyed wolf as you.
took advantage of his absence to wag his tail and beg for mercy at others.
Such a person actually has the face to speak out in front of the old man.
It's ridiculous, don't you know that there is shame in this world? ”
Zhang Yue's righteous and awe-inspiring reprimand made Zhang He speechless for a while.
Enraged, he directly pulled out his saber and pointed it at the other party.
"Old horseman, I see you're getting impatient!"
"Enough!" Xu Tian frowned and glanced at Zhang He.
It wasn't until Xu Tian opened his mouth that Zhang He glanced at Zhang Yue viciously and withdrew his saber.
"A group of horsemen who only know brute force and don't know awe can't make a big deal!
There is only one fate for people like you, and that is to be killed by thousands of people of my Han Dynasty! ”
"To be honest, I admire you!" Xu Tian's eyes showed a mocking look and said lightly.
"A person's skin can be thick like this.
It seems that I am afraid that there is no shortage of oil and water at my feet! ”
"You..." Zhang Yue's face was red, and he pointed at Xu Tian with trembling hands.
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xu Tian again.
"I think most of the people in this hall are just like you.
kept proclaiming himself as the biggest loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
But if the interests of your nobles are not guaranteed, will you still be like this? ”
When he said this, Xu Tian's eyes kept staring at Emperor Han Xian, who stood up.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, not only the eyes of the people in the hall flashed, but even Emperor Han Xian's eyes flashed, and his face became ugly.
Obviously, although he is a puppet emperor, he is very clear about the thoughts of these people in the main hall.
If there is no profit, how many people will be truly loyal?
"Humph! You think everyone is just like you.
People who don't know the etiquette, don't understand the rules, and don't even look at the emperor, what qualifications do they have to question others! ”
Zhang Yue spoke a little angrily.
"Oh?" Xu Tian sneered and squinted at each other.
Immediately, he waved his big hand and said lightly to the people around him.
"Since everyone is a loyal minister, they are all willing to sacrifice everything for the emperor.
Now, then, all you need is for half of you to stand up and lay down your lives for the Emperor, and I will get out of here at once! ”
As soon as Xu Tian's words fell, the shadow guards around him drew their swords one after another, stepped forward, and made it look like they would strike at any time.
The people who did it, including Zhang Yue, fell silent.
Seeing this scene, Zhang He on the side couldn't help but show a sneer...
