"Cao Mengde! What do you say-"

Someone stood up in a hurry, kicked a few cases in the missing corner, and shouted loudly at Cao Cao at the door, he waved his hands to touch the weapon on his waist, and suddenly realized that he had been invited, and stopped after walking two steps. However, he stood up alone, Dong Cheng escorted the Son of Heaven all the way, after several bloody battles, hearing the news, his figure trembled and shook.

Cao Cao went straight over and walked in front of everyone, his eyes swept over the faces that were sad or angry, "I know that some of you suspect that Your Majesty was killed by me Cao Mengde, but think about it, Yuan Benchu of the Fourth World and the Third Duke did not come, and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is the imperial prince, right?" He didn't come either, and Wang Kuang of Hanoi didn't come, right? I'm the only one who comes......" Sheng took a breath, slammed his fist against the wall, and raised his voice: "...... Did I come to kill the emperor? Who was the first to scatter the wealth of the king? Who was the one who insisted on chasing the embarrassed man who was beaten by Xu Rong when Dong Thief coerced His Majesty to move the capital to Chang'an, and almost died? ”

"Think about it, everyone......" His tone eased for a moment, and he looked at the dozens of people in the room, serving Zhongtai Chong, Shangshu Feng Shuo, Sikong Zhang Xi, Wei General Dong Cheng, and Zhi Jinwu Fuwan...... Wait a minute.

He said, "....... Why did I, Cao Cao, do such a thankless job? ”

The firelight flickered, shining on the figures of the silent ministers, and on the side of everyone, the gray-haired Taiwei Yang Biao lowered his eyes, stared at the table, and said in a slow voice: "Cao Yanzhou's self-defense is indeed reasonable, and the ministers might as well calm down first." ”

"That's Your Majesty...... How calm am I! Dong Cheng couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and the surrounding armor soldiers pulled out half of the sword body and forced him over, so he had to retreat and look at Cao Cao on the opposite side: "What about the assassin?" You say that you did not kill Your Majesty, who can testify for you? What do you mean by bringing this little doll over again? ”

After a few questions, Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the guards to retreat, "When the assassin was captured, he had committed suicide, as for who testified for me......" He clapped his hands, and Ren Hongchang, who was waiting outside the door, walked in, she was the imperial chief of the palace, and most people had seen one or two sides, so they naturally recognized it.

"Hongchang has seen you." At this time, the woman restrained her original flattery, and saluted everyone with a cold expression, "Cao Yanzhou's words are true, the assassin is mixed in the team of His Majesty's return to the east, and when he arrives in Luoyang, everyone is exhausted and guards against moving hands, and the concubine sees the man's hand with her own eyes, and the other party still wants to come over and kill me, and then was rescued by Cao Yanzhou's generals." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, let her go down, and looked at Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and the others again: "Maybe you will also think that she was forced by me, but the matter has happened, and the news of His Majesty's distress must not be allowed to spread......"

"Cao Mengde, so you want to support a Majesty who is not an emperor?" Shangshu Feng Shuo was furious, took off his steps and threw over, "What is the difference between you and rebellion." ”

The worn shoes smashed on his chest, Cao Cao's face was as usual, and he waved his sleeves to brush the dust on them, "I haven't spoken yet, can Feng Shangshu finish listening?" ”

"You also know that the world is not peaceful, and the minds of the princes from all walks of life have changed, if you hear that Your Majesty is gone...... What do you think will happen to this Han Dynasty? Let's not talk about the south, just Yuan Shao in Hebei alone dares to put up a big banner, his family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés and old officials are everywhere, and there are some of you...... If there is no owner in the world, the Han Dynasty will really be over. ”

"So that's what you think? Ridiculous! Feng Shuo interrupted loudly again. Shizhong Tai Chong also shook his head and said: "Cao Yanzhou's words are not appropriate, even if Your Majesty suffers, there are still many royal families surnamed Liu in the world, such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Xishu, why find a common child who looks a little similar to pretend to be ......"

Interrupted twice, Cao Cao looked at the two and frowned, his hand was held on the Yitian Sword, and his voice became low: "Cao is about to say this, who do you choose Liu Jingsheng and Liu Junlang?" It's hard to choose, wait for the election, and then send someone to inform the two, once they come and go, believe it or not, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will have enough reasons to rebel, and the rest of the princes with ill intentions, such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, Lu Bu who shrank in Xuzhou, and the southernmost Jiaozhou scholar will also follow suit, and then how many people will call the king and the emperor, and make Kyushu full of smoke, and it is not enough to atone for your heads——"

When he said this, Feng Shuo on the other side suddenly stepped forward, "Sophistry!" Before the two words could be spoken, Cao Cao Qiang pulled out his long sword and shouted angrily: "Do you disregard my Cao Mengde's sword as unfavorable?!" With a sword slash, blood splattered, the fire was shaken by the wind, and half of the corpse with half of its neck cut off fell backwards.

The smell of blood filled the room.

“.…… Cao Yanzhou said in the final analysis, why kill people. Yang Biao was still expressionless, he glanced at the corpse and turned his face: "The old man still wants to hear Yanzhou say how to arrange it below." ”

The silk handkerchief wiped the blood stains on the sword, Cao Cao asked the body to be carried out, and after seeing the shocked crowd, he leaned on the sky and returned to the sheath, and pushed the almost paralyzed child forward, "On the one hand, let him temporarily pretend to be His Majesty, and on the other hand, everyone discussed who to choose to ascend the throne, and when he had an eyebrow, he sent a messenger to report, which is the best solution." ”

Dozens of people present looked at each other, even if they were a little unconvinced, but after thinking about it, it was the only way to do it, otherwise once the news of His Majesty's martyrdom was made public at this time, the entire Han Dynasty would be in chaos.

"But this kid is not like Your Majesty, if he is recognized, won't we all become chaotic ministers and thieves." Dong Cheng was a little shaken after all, and glanced at the peasant child who was timid, staring at the corpse and trembling, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry.

"How many people in this world can have the opportunity to meet the holy face......" Cao Cao stretched out his hand to hold the trembling shoulders of 'Liu Xie', his eyes were fierce, leaning forward against his trembling body, and looking at everyone: "As long as I tell everyone here that he is, he is true!" ”

The palm of his hand patted 'Liu Xie's shoulder heavily, Cao Cao hugged the other party and turned around and walked towards the door, and his voice came with an irresistible voice: "Okay, Luoyang is broken and can't let His Majesty sit, and I can't let Yanzhou leave it alone, so let's go to Xuchang with Cao." ”

Striding out of the door, Cao Cao handed over the child in his arms to Ren Hongchang, who had been waiting respectfully: "Teach him the etiquette that the emperor should have, and the queen's side, you can also do it together, if something goes wrong, I will kill you." ”

"Yes."

The woman pulled the peasant child over, looked down at the drooping sight, the black robe passed, only then did she dare to raise her head, look at the distant back, and finally realized that the power is not how big an official a person has and how much power he has, but what this person has done with his gestures.

That's what power is called.

……

The long palace road, the high walls have faded in color.

Walking past the floor tiles full of wild grass in the gaps, standing still, Cao Cao looked up at the rising sky with his hands, and exhaled a breath in his chest: "Fengxiao, what do you say the world will be like in the future?" I couldn't understand it more and more. ”

"The world is impermanent." Behind him, Guo Jia, who came along, said with a smile.

Cao Cao snorted, spread out his right hand that held the sword before, and turned his face sideways: "Just killing a Shangshu is like killing a pig and slaughtering a sheep, and when you enter Xuchang, everything will be up to them." ”

"Then in the future, how should the lord deal with himself?"

"Let's clean up the world first...... Don't talk about this matter to Wen Ruo, you know his temperament. ”

"Jia naturally understands."

The voice and words sounded in fragments on the long palace road, and the words and words that were understated seemed meaningless, but they were related to the world, and in the brilliant light of the sky, the voice became longer and longer, and gradually became smaller.

In the afternoon of that day, the whole army of soldiers gathered to escort the emperor Yuluan Kai out of the city gate.

In the slightly westward sloping skylight, the corpses were forever forgotten in the dry well.

The queen kept her distance from the stranger next to her, looking back at the dilapidated city behind her, getting farther and farther away, what the future was like, she couldn't see clearly.

On the way, a scout came on a fast horse, rushed to the front team, and brought a message: "Lord Qi, Yang Feng is coming to see Your Majesty with thousands of soldiers and horses." ”

On horseback, Cao Cao looked at the content on the plain silk, raised his head, and whispered: "Zihe, Yuan Rang, Zhongkang, you bring soldiers and horses over to destroy him." ”

"That's right, Zihe." His eyes raised, Cao Chun, who was about to ride away, stopped and turned his head, Cao Cao tapped his fingers: "After the fight, you lead hundreds of horsemen to Shanggu County to bring Ziyu back, and let the white wolf come to Xuchang to lead people by the way." ”

"Good!"

They nodded, galloped away, and soon the trumpets of the army blew and killed the Baibo army named Yang Feng to the north.
