Cao Cao didn't take Liu Xie in his eyes at all, and Chang Shi lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, but a touch of resentment flashed on his face in an instant.

Because he lowered his head, neither Cao Cao nor Xu Chu saw his expression.

Under the guidance of the permanent attendant, Cao Cao and Xu Chu walked to Liu Xie's dormitory.

Liu Xie personally waited outside the door.

"Gong Cao is busy with affairs, how can he have the leisure to come here?" Bowing down to Cao Cao, Liu Xie asked very humbly.

Cao Cao arched his hand very casually, and said to Liu Xie: "I have already told Your Majesty that you don't have to be so restrained when you see me, it's okay that it's all my own family here, if it spreads out, won't it make me fall into the notoriety of disrespecting the monarch?" ”

said that there was no need for Liu Xie to be too restrained, but Cao Cao's demeanor did not mean any respect.

Liu Xie bowed his head in response, and Cao Cao asked, "Is Your Majesty talking to me here?" ”

"Gong Cao, please come inside and talk." Liu Xie suddenly retreated to the side and invited Cao Cao and Xu Chu into the house.

"Your Majesty, please." Cao Cao still remembered some etiquette, and said to Liu Xie: "The monarch and the minister have a way, and you can't ask me to do something arrogant." ”

"What Cao Gong said is that I was negligent." Liu Xie agreed, although he entered the room first, he immediately stood sideways when he got into the room.

Cao Cao took Xu Chu into the house and saw two tea bowls on the table: "Your Majesty, there are guests here?" ”

"I was talking to the queen here just now, and I heard that Gong Cao was coming, so I told her to retreat first." Liu Xie replied: "Cao Gong must be talking about family and country affairs, how can she be a woman who should listen to it?" ”

"Your Majesty is much more sensible than in previous years." Cao Cao's words were like an elder facing a junior.

Poor Liu Xie, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not dare to have the slightest pride, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

The attendant who led Cao Cao and Xu Chu to the side kept standing by the bow.

Cao Cao glanced back at him, didn't care very much, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I will come here because I have an important matter to discuss with you." ”

"Please also ask Cao Gong to speak up." No matter what kind of conditions Cao Cao proposed, Liu Xie could only agree, and he respectfully asked Cao Cao to continue.

Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is the enemy of the world, trying to cause trouble to the Han, and now he is gathering strong soldiers in Xuzhou and even intends to crusade against Xu Du, Your Majesty should have heard about it." ”

"I live in the palace, and I hardly hear anything from the outside." Liu Xie replied: "If it weren't for Cao Xuan's knowledge, I still wouldn't have gotten this news. ”

"Now Your Majesty knows." Cao Cao said to Liu Xie: "I have asked people to write a document to crusade against Lu Bu, and now I have an edict from Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to issue an edict." ”

"Didn't I ever issue an edict earlier?" Liu Xie was stunned and asked Cao Cao, "Could it be that that edict is useless?" ”

"That edict was issued by His Majesty earlier." Cao Cao replied: "Now I still need to issue another edict, I can lead the army to crusade against Lu Bu!" ”

Cao ** forced Liu Xie to issue an edict to crusade against Lu Bu, Liu Xie asked two sentences, saw that his face was not good, and hurriedly replied: "As long as Cao Gong needs it, I will issue an edict." ”

"Cao Cao is a traitor, dare to blackmail Your Majesty, I will beg for the world today!" Liu Xie was about to tell Chang Shi to get pen and ink, but who knew that Chang Shi, who had been keeping his head down, actually took out a sharp knife from his arms and roared and pounced on Cao Cao.

Chang Shi suddenly attacked, and Cao Cao was taken aback.

Seeing that the sharp knife was about to stab him, Xu Chu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and twisted the hand holding the knife in Chang Shi, and twisted it to the side.

The tip of the knife almost slashed against Cao Cao's heart, and the clothes on his chest were actually cut open.

If Xu Chu had been a little slower, Cao Cao's life would have been explained here.

snatched Chang Shi's knife, Xu Chu grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Xu Chu is a fierce general in the world, and carrying the regular servant is like carrying a chicken.

was lifted by him with one hand, and Chang Shi's two legs kept kicking, and his hands grabbed his hands hard, trying to break free from Xu Chu's hands.

Xu Chu glanced back at Cao Cao, and saw that Cao Cao's face was full of anger, and his expression was still flustered, and he used some strength to pinch the hand around Chang Shi's neck.

only heard the sound of "quack", and he actually broke the neck of the regular attendant.

"How did Zhong Kang kill him?" Xu Chu killed Chang Shi, and Cao Cao paused and said, "He should be kept alive in order to find out who is behind it." ”

"I saw that Cao Gong didn't say anything just now, so I used some strength in my hands." Throwing the body of the permanent servant aside, Xu Chu bowed down and confessed.

"Forget it, if it weren't for you, I would have been poisoned by thieves today." Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie and asked in a cold tone: "The people around Your Majesty, why did you assassinate me, Your Majesty shouldn't be completely unaware, right?" ”

Cao Cao's face was not good, and his tone was very cold, Liu Xie bowed, and after listening to his words, he shivered with excitement.

"Cao Gong Mingjian." Liu Xie replied tremblingly: "This person has not been with me for a few days, if I knew that he had such a vicious mind, I would definitely not leave him behind." ”

"Earlier, Dong Cheng brought an edict, and today he often carries a knife." Cao Cao sneered: "If you say that these things have nothing to do with Your Majesty, I'm afraid that even Your Majesty himself won't believe it." ”

"Be sure to ask Cao Gong to find out about this." Liu Xie bowed down and bowed to Cao Cao, and said with a flustered expression: "I can have today, it is all up to Cao Gong's protection, otherwise I would have been killed by thieves without knowing where." Cao Gong is unlimited. How could I have murdered Cao Gong? ”

"Your Majesty, get up." Cao Cao raised his hand: "Chang Shi intends to assassinate, I will find out about this matter." I came here to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict against Lu Bu, and if Your Majesty refuses to agree, so forget it. ”

Without waiting for Liu Xie to respond, he greeted Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, let's go!" ”

"Cao Gong, please stay!" Cao Cao was leaving, and Liu Xie hurriedly said: "I'm going to give an edict!" ”

Ordered the guards outside to fetch pen and ink, Cao Cao sat aside and watched Liu Xie prepare the edict: "Your Majesty's edict is becoming more and more familiar." If you are as diligent as Your Majesty, you will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor in the future when the Han Dynasty is unified. ”

Xu Chu took the edict from Liu Xie and handed it to Cao Cao with both hands.

After reading the edict word by word, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction: "So, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

He stood up and walked to the door.

When he arrived at the door, Cao Cao turned back to Liu Xie and said, "With me, it is only a matter of time before the world is unified." I hope Your Majesty will not make any more trouble in the future. Today's matter, I hope it has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Otherwise......"

After snorting coldly, Cao Cao took Xu Chu and turned his head away.

Standing at the door, bowing down to see Cao Cao and Xu Chu go away, Liu Xie straightened up and raised his sleeves to wipe his forehead.

The two guards stepped forward, and Liu Xie glanced back at the corpses in the room and waved his hand at them: "Hurry up and carry them away!" ”

The guards entered the house and carried the body away.

After Liu Xie returned to the house, he turned around and closed the door.

Empress Fu walked out of the inner room.

Seeing Liu Xie's flustered appearance, Empress Fu asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"What just happened, didn't you hear it at all?" Liu Xie asked Empress Fu.

"The concubine heard some." Empress Fu said: "It seems that there is a regular attendant who assassinates Cao Cao, and he blames His Majesty. ”

"Where did this squire come from?" Liu Xie asked Fu Hou, "I remember that he seems to have been introduced by you." ”

"I just introduced him, but I didn't know that he actually harbored thoughts that were unfavorable to Cao Cao." Knowing that Liu Xie was cowardly and did not dare to do anything unfavorable to Cao Cao, of course Empress Fu would not say much to him: "If I had known that he would do these things, it would have been impossible for the concubine to let him come to His Majesty's side." ”

Queen Fu's words actually implied other meanings.

She was just telling Liu Xie that if she had known that Chang Shi had failed to assassinate Cao Cao, she would never have been arranged to Liu Xie's side.

But Liu Xie didn't hear anything from her words, just sighed and said, "Pity that person just now, I don't even know his name." knew that he was a loyal man, but he could only let others drag his body away, and he couldn't even bury him for him. ”

"I heard that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao have joined forces and are going to crusade against Cao Cao." Empress Fu said: "Yuan Shao didn't say it first, he opposed His Majesty's accession to the throne in his early years, even if His Majesty went to Hebei, there was no difference between him and Cao Cao in his hands." But Lü Bu was different, Wang Yun persuaded Lü Bu to rebel against Dong Zhuo, and he led the army to defend Chang'an. If it weren't for the fact that Li Dao and Guo Yan were powerful and couldn't resist with his strength, he wouldn't have abandoned His Majesty......"

"I also hope that Lu Bu can win." Liu Xie sighed: "Lu Bu is my last hope, but just now I issued another edict against him, and I don't know if he can forgive ......me if he breaks Cao Cao in the future."

"Your Majesty can't help himself, can he not know?" Empress Fu said, "It would be nice if I could send someone to send a letter to Lu Bu." ”

"When it matters, don't cause trouble again." Liu Xie replied: "When Lu Bu breaks Cao Cao, I will explain it to him." ”

Knowing that Liu Xie was unwilling to cause trouble, Queen Fu didn't say any more, and said, "The concubine understands." ”

Chang Shi assassinated Cao Cao in front of Liu Xie.

If it succeeds, Cao Cao's generals who are loyal to him are likely to kill Liu Xie on the spot, regardless of whether he is the emperor or not.

Now that he has not succeeded, Cao Cao already has a mustard for Liu Xie in his heart.

Although he gave Cao Cao an edict, after he left, Liu Xie always felt unstable.

has been married to him for many years, how could Queen Fu not be able to see his thoughts.

Knowing that he wanted to be alone and quiet, Empress Fu said: "Your Majesty is not in a very happy mood, the concubine will retire first, and wait until Your Majesty is in a good mood, and then come to talk to Your Majesty." ”

"It's fine." Liu Xie nodded: "You go first, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Empress Fu retreated, and Liu Xie sat down in the room.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is now at the mercy of others like a puppet.

At that time, his brother Liu Wei was abolished by Dong Zhuo and then killed.

Dong Zhuo helped Liu Xie to the emperor's throne, and since then, he has been in constant fear every day and has become a puppet at the mercy of others.

He also tried to break free from the shackles of fate and gather a group of forces in his hands to change the decline of the Han Dynasty.

However, the troubled times have become a reality, and the people's hearts have long since turned away from the Han Dynasty, and the heroes everywhere support the army and respect themselves, all under the banner of wanting to support the Han, but how many of them sincerely want to support the Han?

For heroes from all walks of life, he is just a bargaining chip to earn more benefits in this world.

Whoever gets him will be able to command the world.

As for the revival of the Han Dynasty......

I'm afraid not many people have really thought about it......

The decline of the Han Dynasty did not happen overnight.

Since Emperor Huan succeeded to the throne that year, he only knew how to have fun all day long, and looted the people's fat and ointment from all over the country, so that officials from all over the country took the opportunity to fill their pockets and oppress the people, and the people's suffering reached its peak for a while.

Finally, Emperor Huan died, and Emperor Ling succeeded him.

The people think that it should be good to change the emperor, but Emperor Ling is also a person who likes to have fun like Emperor Huan.

The looting of the people's fat and ointment is still continuing, the people are miserable, and then catch up with the sky to die of the Han Dynasty, and starve all over the field under the disaster for many years, the Zhang Jiao brothers took the opportunity to get up the Taiping Road and set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

If at this time, Emperor Ling can allocate officials and troops from all over the country to suppress it in time and firmly stabilize the imperial power, and he will not condone the heroic self-respect.

But he was in chaos because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he didn't know that the Yellow Turban thieves burned and looted all the way, and the people hated the Yellow Turban more than the official army, and issued an edict ordering the local conscription of righteous troops to crusade against the Yellow Turban.

The recruitment of the rebel army by the heroes of the Quartet did serve the purpose of quickly exterminating the Yellow Turbans, but it also buried endless hidden dangers for the Han Dynasty.

The heroes who hold the military power, after the Yellow Turban is suppressed, who is willing to hand over the military power?

For their own selfish interests, the heroes attacked each other, and the internal struggle of the palace continued.

Emperor Ling died, and the young emperor Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, and caught up with the general He Jin, who did not have a long brain, and despite everyone's opposition, ordered Dong Zhuo to be transferred from Xiliang to Luoyang to deal with the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants.

The ten permanent servants were originally very easy to deal with, as long as He Jin mobilized a small number of soldiers and horses, he could completely destroy them.

But He Jin just died, entered the palace alone, and was killed by the people who were secretly ambushed by the ten permanent servants.

When Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants had been pacified, but he relied on a large number of soldiers and horses to further control Luoyang City.

Later, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty, and he not only abolished Liu Wei and Liu Xie to the throne, but even wantonly killed the ministers loyal to the Han family, and because the princes of the Fourteenth Road begged for Dong, a fire was burned to Luoyang, forcing the Han family to move the capital to Chang'an.

Anything taken out alone, it is impossible to pose a mortal threat to the big man.

But the house leaked and rained, and many things were connected together, and the foundation of the Han family was finally shaken, and Liu Xie, as the emperor, finally became Cao Cao's puppet.

The imperial power is in decline, and the Han Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, but Liu Xie, as the emperor, can't do anything.

Walking to the window and looking at the scenery outside the window, Liu Xie's heart swelled with endless gloom, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks......
