When Xiang Ao was puzzled, Wuyuan City ushered in an old man who rushed to come against the wind and snow, this person was the former emperor's close attendant, and no one in the court dared to disobey the dark old man.

Since the burial of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, the dark elder did not interfere in the government with his prestige, and waited in front of Liu Hong's tomb all day long. The dark old man's original plan was to accompany the immortal to Liu Hong, but he wasted the rest of his life. However, Liu Hong instructed before his death that the dark old man had to drag his body and come to Wuyuan alone when it was snowing so heavily.

Even if the dark old man has seen a sense of decay, but the world is so big, no one can stop the dark old man from going to the place. No, at this time, the dark old man had easily lurked in Xiang Ao's study.

"Ao has seen the dark elder!" As soon as he entered the study, Xiang Ao was jumped by the dark old man who was kneeling on the futon like a dead corpse. If it weren't for Xiang Ao having seen the dark elder, he would have picked up the spear in the study and killed him.

The dark old man seemed to be awakened by Xiang Ao, raised his head, stared at Xiang Ao lifelessly with his eyes, and got up with great difficulty and said, "The old man has seen the Duke of Zhenguo!" ”

Xiang Ao didn't dare to accept such a big gift from the dark elder, so he quickly jumped to the side, came to the side of the dark elder, helped the dark old man sit down and said: "The dark old man is the ancestor, how can Ao receive such a big gift!" The dark old man staggered down with Xiang Ao's support, and Xiang Ao on the side felt the dark old breath, as if he felt that the dark old man might lose his breath at any time.

After the dark old man sat down, Xiang Ao knelt down next to the dark old man and sat down, and said with some doubts: "If the dark old man has any orders, just send someone to inform Ao, why do you need to come in person?" ”

"Xiang Gong!" The dark old man made a gesture again, and Xiang Ao couldn't dodge it between kneeling and sitting, so he hurriedly returned the salute. The dark old man didn't seem to care about Xiang Ao's posture, and continued: "This time, there is nothing important, but the first emperor has some instructions before his death, and he has not had time to inform Xiang Gong in the future. ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he straightened his waist and said solemnly: "Ministers Xiang Ao must do his best to die!" ”

"Why did the Han become the status quo today, and how the royal family was not popular in the world, the first emperor knew it!" The originally lifeless dark old man showed a little helplessness at this time: "The old man was favored by the royal family at a young age, so he swore lifelong allegiance to His Majesty and served the Liu family. This service is a lifetime. After old age, he has always regarded the first emperor as a relative. The first emperor ascended the throne at a young age and had no intention of being dominant. When Nai was in trouble, the first emperor has been in the whirlpool of power. ”

"The old man only hopes that the first emperor can live in peace for the rest of his life. It's just that I never thought that someone would poison the first emperor! The dark old man was indifferent, and his lifeless eyes revealed endless remorse: "It's the sin of the old decay, and I failed to find it in time, and the decay deserves to die the most!" ”

The dark old man said with a little crying: "However, without the permission of His Majesty, the old man is not allowed to take revenge without authorization." His Majesty had no evidence and no intention of fighting, so he had to try his best to mediate with him. ”

"How His Majesty, who I saw with my own eyes, went from Mingjun step by step to the so-called faint monarch of everyone, it is more helpless!" The dark elder regained some calm, and then said: "Your Majesty doesn't have much ambition, but when he was young, he hoped that the people of the world would be peaceful!" Originally, His Majesty thought that it would not be realized for life, and even the world would be destroyed in the hands of His Majesty. ”

When the dark elder said this, he turned his head and stared at it: "At this time, Zhen Guogong appeared. His Majesty also thought about supporting the prince of Zhenguo and fighting against the treacherous war between the DPRK and China, but His Majesty was weak and could not achieve it. His Majesty told the old man that he had secretly edicted the Duke of Zhenguo to entrust the orphan! ”

"Yes, too!" Xiang Ao nodded, and said with a ashamed face: "Your Majesty is serious, trust Ao, Ao is deeply ashamed!" ”

"Zhenguo Gong doesn't have to blame himself, in the current situation, Zhenguo Gong will definitely not be able to enter the court!" There was a lot of understanding between the dark elders' words: "Therefore, when Your Majesty was dying, he ordered the old man to convey it to the prince of Zhenguo!" ”

"Minister, take the edict!" Although the dark old man did not issue an edict with the respect of Emperor Liu Hong, Xiang Ao was unwilling to slack off. Seeing this, the dark old man's wrinkled face was full of relief, and said: "No matter what choice the Zhenguo Gong makes, Your Majesty only asks the Zhenguo Gong to think for the people of the world!" ”

Xiang Ao's face was shocked when he heard this! What a Liu Hong! What a Han Ling Emperor. When he was dying, he was not thinking about his own power, not about future generations, but about the people of the world! I don't want Emperor Ling to be so ambitious when he was young, and in front of power, he can still be so sober, I am ashamed of myself!

Before Xiang Ao could calm down, the dark old man said with a little pleading on his face: "But the old man has something to ask for, it is not His Majesty's intention, but a little obsession with the old man!" ”

"Dark Elder, please speak!" Looking at the dark old man at this time, Xiang Ao was extremely heartbroken in his heart, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

"The old man has been in the royal family all his life, and now that the first emperor is gone, the old man has no thoughts of life, but he can't let go of the first emperor's heirs. If it is feasible in the future, please also ask Zhenguo Gong to be able to preserve the bloodline for His Majesty! With that, the dark old man left the futon, trembled and came to Xiang Ao, knelt on his knees, and begged Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao was already distressed about the dark old man, seeing such an old man pleading so much, Xiang Ao could hardly suppress the discomfort in his eyes. Xiang Ao hurriedly got up and helped the dark old man and said: "Don't worry, as long as my Xiang Ao is alive, I will definitely try to keep the bloodline of the first emperor!" ”

"In this way, old decay is sufficient!" The dark old man stood up with Xiang Ao, his face smiling like a child, and he was overjoyed. Xiang Ao saw it, and his heart was panicked. Before Xiang Ao could persuade him, Xiang Ao suddenly felt his arms become heavier. Looking down at the dark old man again, Xiang Ao realized that the dark old man had closed his eyes with a smile and slowly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xiang Ao snorted a little choked and snorted, but the dark old man was no longer breathless. Xiang Ao slowly put the dark old man on the ground, squatted beside the dark old man, and looked at it in a daze for a long time.

"Someone!"

"Lord!" Most of Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the door, stepped into the study and was stunned when he saw the old man lying in front of Xiang Ao. Who is this person and when did he enter the room?

"Take it down, and order Zhang Cao to choose the best feng shui treasure land in the northern region of my country for a thick burial!"

"No!" Although Dian Wei was puzzled, he didn't ask much, stepped forward and carefully picked up the old man's body, turned around and walked out of the room.

The dark old man conveyed that Liu Hong's death was extremely obvious, if the world was in chaos, Liu Hong hoped that Xiang Ao could calm the world and return the people to peace, even if the Han did not exist, he didn't care. But how can Xiang Ao, who is favored by Liu Hong, choose? If the heroes rise together and compete in the Central Plains, whether they insist on revitalizing the Han Dynasty or setting up another dynasty, what are my chances of winning?

Ay... Xiang Ao sighed deeply, knelt down and sat back to the side, not knowing what to do.

Day and night change, the five elements rotate. The general trend of the world will not stop because of Xiang Ao's hesitation, and the historical car will not stop because of someone.

At this time, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City followed the historical car and slowly showed his true nature.

"Now that Ben Hou has exhausted the power of Luoyang, it is time for Mr. Jia to appear before the world!" Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Jia Xu's many strategies have made Dong Zhuo realize that he can't do without Jia Xu. With Jia Xu by his side, he only needs to have fun day and night, and he doesn't have to worry about too many things, Dong Zhuo thought in his heart. This also made Dong Zhuo more eager to tie Jia Xu to his chariot, and it would be better if Jia Xu could be made to recognize the master.

"Xiangguo really thinks Luoyang is worry-free?" Jia Xu was not in a hurry, and still asked indifferently.

"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and said uncertainly: "Now that the soldiers and horses in Luoyang are all in the hands of Ben Hou, and the regime in the DPRK and China is also controlled by Ben Hou, who else can confront Ben Hou?" ”

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "The prime minister of the country must be under one person and above ten thousand people in the court." But outside of Luoyang, what about the prime minister? ”

"Beyond Luoyang?" Dong Zhuo thought for a while: "Ben Hou adopted Mr. Jia's strategy and wantonly divided the people of the world who were against Ben Hou in the past, and I think they should be grateful to Dai Decai. ”

Jia Xu didn't want to ask any more, and directly explained Dong Zhuo's current situation and said: "Now Luoyang is stable, but there are still Qiang people in the west who are in turmoil, and there are white waves and yellow turbans in the north, all of which threaten the capital of Luoyang at all times. If Luoyang is threatened, Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and others, who have not yet completely surrendered to the prime minister, what should they do? ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was shocked, for a few days, he was too greedy for pleasure, and he didn't think about what Jia Xu said.

"Please also ask Mr. Jia to teach me!" Dong Zhuo was really frightened, and even changed his self-profess.

"It's not easy!" Li Ru saw Jia Xu being alarmist, and said with a displeased face: "There is Fufeng Commander in the west, and Han'an is guarded by General Fu Song, as for Baibo in the north, only the elite soldiers of the imperial court need to go to suppress it." As long as the west and north sides are stable, the officials who are not subordinate now will not prostrate themselves in front of the prime minister? ”

Li Ru finally mixed the power under Dong Zhuo, he didn't want Jia Xu to compete for his power, especially seeing that Dong Zhuo valued Jia Xu so much, Li Ru didn't like it even more.

Dong Zhuo, who was originally a little flustered, stared at him when he heard this, and suddenly came over. Before Dong Zhuo could be happy, Jia Xu said again.

"What Li Yilang said is true! What if we are defeated? ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Ru was furious when he heard this: "Xiangguo's soldiers and horses are all elites, how can they defeat Bai Bo!" ”

"It's not an assumption, Li Yilang doesn't need to panic!" Jia Xu didn't explain much, just smiled lightly. Seeing Jia Xu's indifferent expression, Li Ru was even more angry.

"Wait!" The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has an intention. Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and asked, "What does Mr. Jia mean?" ”

"Say it bluntly!" Jia Xu took over and said: "There are 30,000 elites of the imperial court in the west, and there are local county soldiers to cooperate, and the Qiang people who rebel in the land of Sanfu have no other way for the time being. As for Bai Bo, it is not appropriate to send troops from Luoyang. There are still many people in the world who are dissatisfied with Xiangguo, and if they send troops to attack Baibo, they will naturally not need to say much, and they will all be happy. If he loses, won't he give a group of people a chance to refute Xiangguo? ”

"Besides, a few days ago, the impeachment of Xiang Guo by the Zhen Guo Gong has been served, if it is not for the Minister of State to suppress it temporarily, Xiang Guo thinks that the court will let go of such an opportunity? If the minister of the DPRK and China uses the impeachment of Zhenguo Gong to force Zhenguo Gong to raise the flag against Xiangguo, what should Xiangguo do? ”

It's okay not to say it, thinking of this time, Dong Zhuo was even more annoyed. Ben Hou treats you so sincerely, I never thought that you would impeach Ben Hou!

"What's so hard about that!" Li Ru took over the words from the side and said fiercely: "Xiangguo is in power, since some people are not convinced, kill it!" ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. That's right, if you do more, someone resists, and you kill it. Wasn't that the case with the Dou family in the past?
