Chapter 313: Secret History
At this moment, somewhere in Jiangxia Taishou's Mansion, a person who looked like a housekeeper was scolding at a man in armor.
I saw that the butler looked arrogant, and kept scolding the general, but the general just clenched his fists and said nothing, as if he was constantly enduring it, and finally the butler scolded for a full quarter of an hour before leaving the place with a proud face, leaving only the general's face full of indignation.
And at this time in Jiangxia Taishou Mansion, I saw rows and rows of heavy soldiers waiting outside, they were just waiting for two people, those two people were Liu Biao and Cao Xing who were sitting inside and talking, of course, they were just obeying Liu Biao's orders, if Liu Biao had a little instructions, they would definitely rush in immediately and divide Cao Xing's five horses.
Liu Biao's battle is quite big, Cao Xuan seems to have only seen it once before, but Cao Biao can also see from Liu Biao's serious face, Liu Biao is definitely not Huang Zu, Huang Zu may have some difficulty in killing him Cao Xing, but he Liu Biao is different, Liu Biao is the state pastor of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is his biggest, if he really wants to kill Cao Xing, maybe just in one sentence, people outside can rush in.
And as soon as Cao Xing met Liu Biao, he felt a murderous aura coming to his face.
"Cao Xing, don't detour me here, just say what you want to do, come to my Jingzhou for a walk, and make so much trouble for me, do you have to give me an explanation, otherwise I'm afraid I can't let you go, as for saying that you still have three lives in your hands now, I want to make it clear to you, I, Liu Biao, am a relative of the Han family, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, killing people pays for their lives, even if the Son of Heaven violates the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that you are a small state pastor!"
Cao Xing's mouth opened wide when he heard this, Liu Biao showed Cao Xuan his extraordinary as soon as he came, and he had already shown Cao Xuan in his words that Cao Xuan had taken three people as hostages, like Huang Feng Caizhong, although they could all be regarded as his Liu Biao's people, but Liu Biao didn't care about the life and death of the three of them, if Cao Xuan really killed the three of them, Liu Biao happened to have an excuse to kill Cao Xing.
After all, those three people were not his relatives Liu Biao, and they killed and fought with him Liu Biao, so Liu Biao was not afraid of Cao Biao at all.
Liu Biao looked at Cao Xing with burning eyes, as if he was waiting for Cao Xing's response, as soon as he came, he blocked Cao Xing, to see what else Cao Xing could say to threaten him, if he couldn't say a reason, then the soldiers outside the door could come in.
Seeing that Cao Xing really stood there stunned for a long time, Liu Biao also stood up, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, and Zhou Mu, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my Han has always respected etiquette and law, but you come to my Jingzhou, not only make trouble but also kill people everywhere, and I, Liu Biao, have always been a fair and strict person, it seems that I need to let you go to the hall for a visit!" ”
Liu Biao's series of words, like Cao Xuan was caught off guard, in Liu Biao's opinion, Cao Xuan didn't expect that he had no power to fight back in the face of Liu Biao, although Liu Biao's performance in the Three Kingdoms was not outstanding, but think about it carefully, others have at least left a grand mark in history, and now they are still a big party, how can they be the kind of brainless people.
Liu Biao roared twice outside, and immediately came in four wolf-like sergeants, Liu Biao was just about to wave his hand at them and directly suppress Cao Xing, but at this moment, Cao Xuan waved his hand and shouted: "Slow! ”
Liu Biao looked at Cao Xuan with interest, in his opinion, Cao Xing was tantamount to a trapped beast swimming at the moment, but he was willing to play with Cao Xuan to the end, so he stopped the actions of his subordinates, and looked at Cao Xuan with a smile and said: "And Zhou Mu, what else do you have to say!" ”
When Liu Biao said this, the look on his face seemed serious, and his behavior seemed respectful, but in fact, he was already full of a smile between his eyebrows, in his opinion, Cao Xing was just a fledgling boy, where could he be compared with an old-timer like him, Cao Xing would eventually pay a painful price for his arrogance today.
I saw Cao Xuan twist his neck, and then looked at Liu Biao and said directly: "Liu Jingzhou, I admit what you just said, I, Cao Xing, did do something that I shouldn't do, and actually ran to your Jingzhou to spread wild, this is my fault!" ”
Liu Biao was stunned at first when he heard this, but soon his heart blossomed, he didn't expect Cao Xing to be so cowardly, and admit defeat to him so quickly, is it necessary for him to make good use of this opportunity to ask for some benefits from Cao Xing?
However, at this moment, Cao Xing suddenly said the next sentence: "Liu Jingzhou is indeed a law-abiding person, and he is also very familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty, but I vaguely remember that the laws of the Han Dynasty have stipulated, if the state pastor violates the law, it should all be decided by the current saint, do you say!" ”
Liu Biao was stunned again when he heard this, but before he could react, Cao Xuan added again: "Liu Jingzhou, I don't know when I am today,"
When he heard Cao Xuan say this, Liu Biao's expression can be said to have changed, completely changed, from the initial calm to a little fearful, he directly pointed at Cao Xuan and said loudly.
"What are you talking about there? How will the Son of Japan allow you to slander! ”
However, Cao Xing laughed: "What do you say?" How could I slander today, you even said just now, as a member of the Han family, then you should be very close to the Son of Heaven, I, as a courtier, am just worried about the safety of today's son, ask what's wrong, why are you so excited! ”
Seeing that Cao Xuan did not panic at all times, but showed him a hint of a playful smile, Liu Biao knew that something bad was going to happen, he looked at the four sergeants who were about to make a move, waved his hand directly to them, signaled them to go down first, and then looked at Cao Xuan with his gloomy gaze.
"And the governor, what do you want to say!"
However, Cao Xuan only took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Biao, when Liu Biao saw this letter, he could see that his eyes gradually widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
After almost ten breaths, Liu Biao suddenly crumpled the paper in his hand, stared at Cao Xuan with wide eyes, and his fingers trembled slightly at this moment.
"You, where did you get this letter!"
"Hehe, about this matter, Liu Jingzhou doesn't have to care too much, anyway, you have to know that I am just a copy, your handwritten letter should still be in the hands of my people, if you kill me, I estimate that there will be two consequences!"
"Needless to say, the first one is naturally to trouble you to go to Luoyang in person and pick up the saint, but well, since the saint has arrived in Jingzhou, according to Confucian etiquette, the ninety-five supremes are arranged one by one, I don't know you Liu Jingzhou. What sequence will it be arranged? ”
"Of course, there is a second possibility, that is, you don't have to welcome back today, but well, your identity is special, if you really refuse, it will have a great impact on your reputation, and then those Confucian scholars can drown you in the cradle with a mouthful of spit!"
Liu Biao's face seemed to be getting more and more gloomy, but Cao Xuan still didn't see it, and continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "Not only that, but my people who stayed in Bingzhou will also hype up your mistakes, saying that you have already had the intention of rebellion, so you refuse to save the Son of Heaven, you Liu Biao, will be stinking for 10,000 years!" ”
There was a snap, Liu Biao's face flushed, and he slapped the table: "Enough Cao Xing, you dare to threaten me, believe it or not, I'll kill you now!" ”
The soldiers outside the door heard the movement inside and quickly ran in, but Cao Xuan was not frightened by Liu Biao, but leaned forward, stared at Liu Biao and said, "You are not going to let me live, and I am not allowed to make a little rumor about you!" ”
Hearing this, the anger on Liu Biao's face slowly subsided, and finally sat on the ground with a very anxious expression.
Cao Xing seems to have given Liu Biao two ways, one is to arrest Cao Xing and kill him directly, and the other is to let Cao Xing go. Although Cao Xing came here because of the letter at the beginning, Cao Xing had no intention of using that letter, because as soon as Cao Xing came, he felt that the content of this letter had little to do with him.
To put it bluntly, this letter was inquired by Ren Wei using the Mo family's intelligence organization, and this is a secret history after all.
There are also many histories in history that are not known, because there are only a few people who know, and several of them are uniformly tight-lipped, so how can future generations know?
This letter is also the letter between Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Liu Biao today.
The evaluation of this Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in history is still quite high, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was born in the royal family, but he has been experiencing hardships all his life, first controlled by Dong Zhuo, and now he is being played by Li Dao Guo Yan in the applause, he is already mentally mature at a young age.
No one will be willing to put their lives in the hands of others, and Emperor Han Xian is even more so as the emperor, he wants to escape the clutches of Li and Guo Yan, but he also knows that the power in the palace is all Li and Guo Yan, and he can't escape the control of the two of them at all, and if he wants to completely defeat the two of them, he can only use external forces.
But who should borrow the power of the people, this is another question worth studying, Emperor Han Xian came to think of the people who have a clan relationship with him, at present, among the princes of all walks of life, the power of the surname Liu is also relatively large, undoubtedly Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, but also beneficial to the state Mu Liu Yan and the two, so Emperor Han Xian thought of the two of them for the first time.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty may have used his most secret means to write a letter to Liu Biao, hoping that Liu Biao would be able to send troops to help him in the face of his relatives, of course, he may have also written this secret letter to Liu Yan who was far away in Yizhou.
However, although Emperor Han Xian is gradually becoming calm now, Cao Xing can only shake his head helplessly, what is the most attractive thing in the world? It is nothing more than the word right.
Since Liu Biao and Liu Yan have been in power, they must be very greedy for his power, and regard those who have placed their power on him as the number one enemy, if they really take Emperor Han Xian to their residence, then according to the rank of the Ninety-Five Supreme, they will lose the power in their hands, so it is completely impossible for Emperor Han Xian to want the two of them to save themselves.
However, it is a pity that these two secret letters are in the hands of Ren Wei and others.
Cao Xing looked at the contents of these two letters, the first was a letter from Emperor Han Xian asking for help, but there was nothing special, but the second was Liu Biao's reply to Emperor Han Xian.
Liu Biaohao is also one of the eight sons of Jian'an, and he has been deeply educated by the patriotic thoughts of Zhongjun since he was a child, although he is definitely unwilling to take Emperor Han Xian over, but it is not good to refuse directly, so he writes very implicitly in the language. What to say, please don't be impatient, he is actively preparing, and in a short time, he will enter Chang'an and save the Son of Heaven from the dire situation.
This Liu Biao seems to be so grandiose, but Cao Xuan only smiled when he saw it, this Liu Biao was obviously playing a delaying strategy, and now he put this letter in front of Liu Biao, if Liu Biao really wanted to come, Cao Xuan did not recommend that this letter be published to the world.
In this era, it is an era that pays attention to fame, no matter what you want to be an official or what you do, you need a lot of fame support, after all, the career of an official depends on recommendation, no one knows you, and who will recommend you?
And sometimes the literati's verbal criticism will also kill people, anyway, since Liu Biao said so, if he does not do what he says, then his reputation will be greatly reduced, and even this will become a reason for others to attack him.
Liu Biao is also a man in his fifties, and he is still a dignified and famous man, how can he be so insulted, not to mention that now he is highly respected, and he must pay more attention to his words and deeds, and must not lose his reputation in his old age, which is a great humiliation for a celebrity like them who want to save face.
So at this moment, Liu Biao began to hesitate, and finally he looked at Cao Xuan and nodded: "Let your people hand over all your last things to me, and you are not allowed to have any private collections, as for you, get out!" ”
Seeing that Liu Biao was so angry, Cao Xing smiled, as if he didn't care about these things at all, and only heard him say again: "Liu Jingzhou, I don't know what kind of copy you want, is it that diverse, or what!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Biao was completely angry, this thing is very important to him, and Cao Xing's expression seemed to mean that he still has a lot of secret letters like this, is this worth it? Immediately, Liu Biao was furious.
"Cao Xing, what else do you want!"
Although Liu Biao was furious at the moment, he never said anything to kill Cao Xing here.
"Liu Jingzhou, now the two of us don't seem to be able to see each other honestly, you're afraid that I still have more copies in my hand, and I'm also afraid that you will kill me directly after you get the copy, why don't we make another deal!"
At this time, Liu Biao had already taken the initiative to attack at the beginning, and became extremely angry in his heart, but for this kind of anger, he didn't dare to attack, and finally could only snort and nod and sit down, signaling to have a good talk.
