Chapter 342: Silent Rebellion
"Lord, do you remember clearly, although Emperor Han Xian is a child, but we must not be equal children to look at it, there is only one reason, because he has sat in the position of emperor, and during this time, I believe he has also learned a lot of the way of the emperor from it, but then again, even if he is in how to understand the way of the emperor, but his nature still cannot be changed, he has always been a doll of more than ten years old, after Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, as well as the chaos of Li Dao and Guo Yan, What he needs most now is appeasement and respect, so the lord must do this! ”
Listening to Xi Zhicai's eloquent talk, Cao Cao smiled beside him, waved his hand to Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, could it be that I don't understand anything, just like that three-year-old doll." ”
Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately arched his hand to Cao Cao: "The lord is eloquent and strategic, and he is far-sighted, how can he be compared to my little ones, and I hope to atone for my sins!" ”
"Hey, I didn't say anything wrong with you, you're just talking about it here, what a clever man!"
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and they both laughed.
The relationship between Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's monarch and minister can also be said to be very good, anyway, there are talking and laughing along the way, and the generals next to him can't help laughing when they see this.
But as soon as he walked, Cao Cao couldn't laugh anymore, and the scout Pegasus in front reported that there was really a situation ahead, and it was still a big situation.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and they both saw an inexplicable look of shock in each other's eyes, and then the two didn't say much, and hurriedly walked forward to the place where the incident occurred, which can be described as full of corpses.
Looking at the clothes and attire of these people, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and their eyes became shocked and inexplicable, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly recruited a civil official who looked relatively old. Let the civil official quickly take someone to find the corpses in this pile, the civil official did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly did what Cao Cao ordered, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai could only stand in place and pray silently, and the thoughts in their hearts should not be confirmed.
Half an hour later, the civil official hurriedly came, the panicked expression on his face, seemed to confirm Cao Cao's guess, this time Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were dumbfounded, they were still there along the way, how it should be, Emperor Han Xian said, in order to make all this logical, everything seemed to be well planned, but I didn't expect such a mess, Cao Cao under the leadership of the civil official, came to the corpse of Emperor Han Xian, seeing this, Cao Cao's whole person had a feeling of collapse.
Killing the emperor in this era is a serious crime, and he Cao Cao can't afford this crime, but the key is that in the place where the incident happened now, he Cao Cao seems to be the first person. Doesn't that mean that when this matter is completely spread, people with absolutely bad intentions will say that he killed the person, and he Cao Cao will be fully responsible, Cao Cao killed the king, which is quite bad for Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's expression became a little flustered, but the drama next to him was quite calm, although the current situation was very unfavorable to him Cao Cao, but it was not irretrievable.
Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, squatted down, looked at the corpse of Emperor Han Xian, and then directly removed Emperor Han Xian's hand with his hand, this time there was a major discovery, everyone found that Emperor Han Xian's index finger was bitten off, and there was a small character written under his hand, everyone looked at it, this word happened to be the word Yuan. Who does this Yuan character refer to, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Cao Cao didn't react at first, but under the reminder of Xi Zhicai, he immediately woke up, now is not the time to think about this, it is better to hurry up and shirk responsibility.
Cao Cao immediately weakened his legs, and even knelt on the ground in front of everyone, without the image of the lord, and then hugged the body of Emperor Han Xian, which was wow and crying, as if it was his own father who died.
Cao Cao was still crying and was still there while blaming himself for saying something, after all, he was a step too late, so that His Majesty was brutally murdered by traitors, and Xi Zhicai and others were also very cooperative to persuade Cao Cao there and let Cao Cao not be too sad.
Cao Cao cried for a while, and he was almost finished watching the play, so he touched the tears on his face, looked at the people around him with righteous words, and said that if the son died today, they should spread this matter to the world as courtiers, let the world be silent, and mourn for the Son of Heaven.
Cao Cao's proposal was recognized by many.
But in the end, there seems to be a very crucial thing that has not been said, and Xun You next to him couldn't help but stand up and say to Cao Cao.
"Lord, the death of the Son of Heaven is sad, but we should also think about it, which one of the thieves did it, we must find it out, and kill it quickly!"
As soon as he heard this, Cao Cao suddenly realized, and then nodded to everyone: "That's true, we should tell the world and avenge Emperor Han Xian!" So who did this? ”
The words have already been said to this point, and the people who can stand by Cao Cao's side are not stupid, and everyone's head is very sober. Someone immediately stood up and said, this Yuan character is definitely related to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao also nodded, thinking that just like that, Cao Cao directly announced this matter and everything that has happened so far to the world, and in just one week, the death of Emperor Han Xian spread to the country. The world was shocked.
It can even be said that this time the people in the world are all a little dumbfounded, if it is said that the princes compete for hegemony on weekdays, it has nothing to do with the common people, after all, they just want to live their own lives, and they don't want to live the kind of days of chaos and displacement, as long as there is an acre and three points of land, they can be satisfied.
But now the people of the world are thinking about one thing, although the Han Dynasty existed in name only, everyone can still say that they are the people of the Han Dynasty, after all, the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty in name.
As a result, now, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty in the world has also died like this, so what should be the surname of this world? This is a very serious problem.
What the people think about is only limited to this question, but the thoughts between the major princes and major warlords are not so simple.
It is said that when the two of them heard that Emperor Han Xian was dead, the expressions of the two of them were extremely painful, and then they sent a message to crusade against Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao, why Emperor Han Xian died, and how much this matter had to do with him Cao Cao, as if they had now become grieving family members of the deceased, and then interrogated the suspects.
Cao Cao was very helpless about this, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these two guys. It is not false that these two people are relatives of the Han family, but what they have done is worthy of the title of the clan relatives of the Han family?
According to their titles, no matter how much they belong to a prince, but when the Han Dynasty fell into a dangerous situation, and the life of the Son of Heaven was in dire straits, all the princes of the world were moving, and only the two of them continued to nest in their own homes, guarding their own acres and threes of land, not wanting to communicate with the outside world, let alone saving the Son of Heaven.
Now that Emperor Han Xian died, they immediately showed the grief that their families should have, as if when Emperor Han Xian was alive, they were the relatives of Emperor Han Xian. There is meticulous care for Emperor Han Xian, and now that Emperor Han Xian is dead, it is a very big blow to them.
Even Liu Biao added an article, which first denounced that those who dared to kill the emperor were tantamount to madness, and they must be strictly investigated, who killed Emperor Han Xian, and they would not be tolerated.
Liu Biao still said in the first half of the article is only orderly, it is completely the duty of a courtier, but the second half of his article seems to be a little subtle, Liu Biao said that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the sky cannot be without an owner for a day. Although he also mourned the death of Emperor Han Xian, they probably couldn't just die. Although Emperor Han Xian does not have any posthumous photos and does not have any children, he should also nominate an emperor from among the Han family relatives, and this emperor must be highly respected and old enough.
When everyone saw this article, they all sneered, and everyone knew what this Liu Biao wanted to do.
Originally, when Liu Biao published this article, he was still full of confidence, but seeing that except for a group of cronies in Jingzhou who wanted to respond to him, none of the princes in the world wanted him, so Liu Biao didn't speak.
In fact, Liu Biao's mind, he doesn't want to be the emperor of the world, he just wants to guard Jingzhou's one-third of an acre, after all, it is easy to fight the country and the country, and it is not easy to keep the world, he Liu Biao is not willing to bother, the reason why there is this article is mostly due to those cronies under Liu Biao, such as Mrs. Cai and others, because if Liu Biao is the emperor, their identity will rise again.
But since no one responded, Liu Biao thought about it.
Then the world began to catch the murderer in full swing. First of all, Cao Cao was determined. Before his death, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty definitely deliberately wrote the word Yuan to tell Cao Cao that the person who killed him was none other than Yuan Shao.
This statement also seems to have a certain degree of convincing, but when Yuan Shao heard the news, his whole lungs exploded, and he directly scolded Cao Cao for being a bloody squirt, and the first scene he arrived at was obviously Cao Cao who killed Emperor Han Xian, and then wrote a word casually with the blood of Emperor Han Xian, and wanted to frame him Yuan Shao's head.
Originally, this was just the anger between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but what Cao Cao didn't expect was that Yuan Shao finally pulled his cousin Yuan Shu in, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao did not agree, but then again, this time Yuan Shu was able to sneak into the Si Li generation, and thanks to Yuan Shao opening the back door, he owed others a favor.
Moreover, even if the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not with them, they are still a family, whenever something affects their family, they will still show the unity of the family, and the two will work together to attack Cao Cao, and everyone blames each other.
In this way, a scolding war began, but then again, as long as anyone who participated in the rescue of the Son of Heaven this time was suspected.
When Sun Jian was walking halfway and heard the news of the death of Emperor Han Xian, it is said that the whole person was dizzy and almost did not take off the horse.
Seeing this, Huang Gai's people hurriedly went up to rescue the sub-chamber, Sun Jian woke up with a sad and angry expression, and kept crying there, for a while, and finally calmed down the grief in his heart.
One of Sun Jian's subordinates is called Cheng Pu, like Sun Jian's advice.
"Lord, now is not the time for us to grieve, since the Son of Heaven has died, then the world will be in turmoil again, we should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible to make plans, at least we must keep our hometown!"
As soon as Cheng Pu finished speaking, he immediately ushered in the load of the surrounding generals, and one of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, that is, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, also stood up with an excited face, clenched his fists and said to Sun Jian.
"Yes, father, in the past, it was always inconvenient for us to tiptoe at what we did, but if today's son is dead, we can return to Jiangdong immediately, and gradually become a warlord of our own power, and divide the world, wouldn't it be happy!"
When Sun Jian heard Sun Ce say this, he directly scolded Sun Ce as a bastard, he, Sun Jian, as a minister, could really do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing, Sun Ce was scolded, so naturally he didn't dare to speak.
However, the surrounding generals are all Sun Ce's meaning, at most they are just a little more subtle than Sun Ce, and the three old ministers brought to Sun Jian are all there to constantly advise Sun Jian.
"Lord, what the young master said is not wrong, we know that you are dedicated to Han, but now that Emperor Han Xian is driving east, there is no owner in the world, even if we want to turn the tide, it is impossible, you don't see that princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will definitely take advantage of the chaos, if you are a woman now, if you don't seize the opportunity, those people will definitely sweep the world in the future, and we won't even be able to keep Jiangdong at that time!"
When he heard this, a trace of change flashed in Sun Jian's eyes, although he Sun Jian was very loyal to the Han Dynasty, but there was also a limit to loyalty, and Sun Jian was not that kind of foolish loyalty, and he didn't believe that any king wanted his ministers to die, and his ministers had to die.
Whether it is his subordinates or his son, what he said is very reasonable, if he is still here at the moment, crying like a child, I am afraid that Yuan Shu and others will raise the butcher knife to his neck sooner or later, so Sun Jian finally stood up and directly let everyone march into Jiangdong.
It is based on this environment that the princes of the world have started their own actions, and Cao Xing is no exception, originally Cao Xing was going to return to Bingzhou, but Cao Xing only walked half the way, then stopped, but turned around and continued to advance in the direction of Chang'an.
This time, Cao Xing not only brought Jinyiwei, Chen Hu directly sent 40,000 troops to meet Cao Xing, and Cao Xing led the mighty army to Chang'an.
