Just when Liu Qi was sad and indignant for the inexplicable anger of the two women, there were also people in Luoyang who were sad and indignant because of love.

This grief-stricken man was the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, the nominal supreme ruler of the entire Han Dynasty, but he was the most powerless and the most cowardly man, and was later called Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning, in order to be able to canonize Liu Qi as the king and create hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian did not hesitate to agree to Cao Cao's request, degraded the queen Fushou as a concubine, and established Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie as the queen.

Later, Emperor Xian saw that he had a deep love with the queen of Fu, and his determination to shake the cry of "innocence" after Fuhou, and he did not mention the abolition of the establishment within a few months, Cao Cao couldn't wait, so he went to the court with his sword, and forced Emperor Xian to make an order in court, and degraded him as a concubine, and set up his daughter Cao Jie as the queen.

After being humiliated, and remembering that Dong Guiren was killed by Cao Cao, he was resentful, so he wrote a letter to his father and Tunqi Lieutenant Fu Wan, asking his father to secretly contact Liu Qi, the king of Chu, and plot against Cao Cao. He didn't dare to do that, so he hid the letter.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Fu Wan died of illness, his son Fu Dian inherited the title, but was oppressed by his uncle Cao Pi, and he was resentful, and later Fu Dian stumbled upon his sister Fu Shou's letter to his father Fu Wan, so he decided to follow what Xinzhong said, secretly contact Liu Qi and plan Cao Cao, but where did he know that the messenger he sent out had not yet gone out of the city gate, and was found by Xiahou Heng, the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding the city, and the messenger was shocked and wanted to escape, and was killed in public.

Xiahou Heng found the letter from the messenger and immediately sent it to Cao Cao in shock.

Cao Cao was also shocked when he read the letter, if Fu Dian really colluded with Liu Qi, once he had a chance, he might not be able to save his old life, and he couldn't help but shoot the case and said angrily: "Boldly Fu Shou, this king is thinking of the old love." Only then did he demote you to a noble concubine, and did not kill them all, but you were jealous, and instigated the minister to assassinate the important ministers of the court. ”

After all that is said. Immediately ordered the imperial historian Xi Xi and Shangshu to order Wang Lang to hold the edict of moderation, go straight to the palace, throw the imperial concubine Fu Shou into the violent room, and inflict the punishment of claustrophobia.

At that time, Emperor Xian was in the outer hall, and asked Xi Xi to sit down, only to see Fu Shou wholesale barefoot in front of him, crying and saying: "Your Majesty is the respect of the ninety-five, and the concubine and His Majesty have been together for many years, can't you save the life of the concubine?" ”

Emperor Xian's eyes were filled with tears. sighed softly: "I don't even know when I will die, how can I save you?" ”

After that, he looked at Xi Wei and asked softly: "Gong Xi, is there rather evil in the world?" ”

Xi Wei was silent and indifferent.

Then Emperor Xian heard the news that Fu Shou was thrown into the violent room and used claustrophobia, which was unbearable. committed suicide, and the two princes born to him were also killed. Among them was the crown prince of the dynasty.

More than 100 of Fu Shou's brothers and clans were killed, and 19 people, including his mother, sister-in-law, and younger siblings, were exiled to Youzhou.

After the incident, Sima Yi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and said to Cao Cao, who was still serving as the Prime Minister: "Although the lord has gone to a big trouble except for the queen of Fu, he must guard against Liu Qi using this as an excuse." Launching an attack on Luoyang, this person has gained a firm foothold in Yongliang and other places in recent years, plus three years of economic recovery, and is about to think about fighting against our army, and now he has such a good excuse. Never miss an opportunity. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This king naturally thought that Liu Qi Xiao'er was coming, but this king was not afraid, because in the past three years, the king's Jizhou and Youzhou and other places have also risen in strength, even the Central Plains' Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Qingzhou have also harvested millions of grains, and we are also implementing the Juntian order, there are more than 230,000 soldiers under the rule, plus the regular soldiers guarding the towns in various places, the total number is not less than 500,000, including about 100,000 Youyan and Bingzhou iron cavalry, Wuhuan cavalry 50,000 or 60,000, in the face of such a powerful force, Even if Liu Qi attacks the king, he is not afraid. What's more, even if this king doesn't execute Fu Guifei, Liu Qi'er will definitely find an excuse to deal with us, and now this king has taken the initiative to provoke trouble and made arrangements in advance, I see what Liu Qi'er can do to me? ”

Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "The king has already made arrangements, presumably there will be no mistakes and omissions, but the lower officials still have some concerns, this concern mainly comes from internal thieves like Fu Dian, although Fu Dian is ambushed, but there may not be no conspiracy to rebel, or secretly sympathize with the Han family, just like Xun Yu back then, the king is so kind to him, but he never forgets the Han family, even so, the king misses the old feelings, let him go to Hefei to supervise the army, but he shamelessly betrayed and took refuge in Liu Qi, hehe, Previously, Xun Yu publicly declared in Xiangyang that he was only living in Xiangyang and had no apostasy, but his son Xun Yun absconded to Xiangyang, which directly exposed his lies. Weichen has never understood until now, how did Xun Yun escape from the impregnable Luoyang City? ”

Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words, his face couldn't help but sink, and he said slowly: "Do you suspect that someone here is colluding with him?" ”

Sima Yi Zhengse said: "How dare Weichen doubt others at will? But the current situation is indeed undoubted, because as far as Wei Chen knows, the general who guarded the east city gate that day was named Guo Dan......"

"Guo Dan?" When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

This person he knows, is a person from Yingchuan, the word Yuanyi, and Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew are fellow villagers, and later after Xun You's recommendation, he became his general, and even once served as his supervisor, this person is a Yingchuan person, and Xun You's recommendation of the grace, and Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew have always been friends, so if this person helps Xun Yun escape, it is absolutely possible.

In history, many Ming lords will make some mistakes in their later years, Qin Shi Huang is like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Taizong, Kangxi and others are like this, the three founding monarchs of the Three Kingdoms have not been avoided, Liu Bei has a lifelong grudge because of the battle of Yiling, Sun Quan is easy to kill because of suspicion, the court is chaotic, Cao Cao's traitorous nature is also undoubtedly revealed, Xun Yu, Cui Yan, Kong Rong, Yang Xiu and others, or because of political disagreement, or because of the issue of the prince, have been degraded or killed, and if they encounter something like Fu Wan, Dong Chengzhi and other people who were conspired against him by the emperor's secret edict were killed mercilessly, and Cui Yan was suspected of being imprisoned and then given death just because of the sentence "When the time comes, when there is a change".

And now Cao Cao because of a big defeat in the battle for Guanzhong, Liu Qi's army has come to Hangu Pass, approaching Luoyang, Luoyang City is even more so-called Han loyal ministers floating in their hearts, ready to respond to Liu Qi to seize Luoyang, which naturally intensified Cao Cao's suspicion, and he gradually developed a kind of "rather kill the wrong than let go" mentality.

Even the suspicion of chasing after the wind and shadows will not be let go, and naturally he will not let go of those "rebellions" with empirical evidence, so Cao Cao decisively executed the Fushou family to put an end to future troubles, and it is also a deterrent to the courtiers, so that they no longer dare to rebel against themselves.

And Sima Yi grasped Cao Cao's psychology, so he slandered and slandered Xun Yu in front of Cao Cao.

In fact, in terms of military talent, Sima Yi is inferior to Xun You, but in terms of playing political methods, he is far more clever than Xun You, and Xun Yu's "defection" caused an unfavorable situation to Xun You, so this time the slander actually made him light.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao heard the words, he ordered the imperial historian Xi to check whether Xun You intended to let Xun Yun go, and after some verification, Guo Dan confessed that he had indeed been instructed by Xun You to let Xun Yun go, and Cao Cao ordered Xun You to be demoted to a counselor. At the same time, Sima Yi was appointed as a servant.

Xun Yu helped Xun Yun leave, originally just thinking of the brotherhood with Xun Yun, and did not have the slightest disloyalty to Cao Cao, he thought that his uncle Xun Yu had left Wei anyway, and returning his family to him may also be in exchange for his gratitude to Cao Cao in the future, and he may be able to have some help to Cao Cao at a critical moment, but he didn't expect that after Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Weinan and the rebellion of Fudian, his suspicion was unprecedentedly strict, and after Sima Yi's provocation, he became suspicious of him. As a result, he was demoted from a servant to a counselor.

Under the indignation, Xun You had a serious illness and took leave at home, completely away from Cao Cao's power center.

In this way, among Cao Cao's advisers, only Cheng Yu can be compared with Sima Yi, but Cheng Yu knows that Sima Yi is favored by Cao Cao, and he is more than seventy years old, and he has already returned the military power three years ago, and he is closed all day long.

It was precisely because Cheng Yu saw the opportunity so much that Sima Yi was very relieved of him, and did not add up slander, allowing him to spend his old age in peace.

Less than a month later, the news of Cao Cao's killing of Empress Fu's family, the killing of the crown prince and another prince reached Xiangyang.

Liu Qi was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered an army to fight against Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao, as a Han minister, actually overpowered the monarch's father, deposed the queen without authorization, and dared to execute the queen, and killed the prince.

"As a member of the Han family, the great Sima, and the prince and the prince, this king should do his best to fight the thief, reaffirm the national fortune for the Han Dynasty, and avenge the unjust death of Queen Fu and the prince, but the head of the anti-thief Cao Cao will be rewarded with 100 million yuan, and the marquis of ten thousand households ......will be crowned."

In the following time, I saw that Nanyang's Lü Meng, Yongzhou's Zhou Yu, Bingzhou's Pang De, Yangzhou's Xu Shu, Xuzhou's Wei Yan's army were all mobilized, Liangzhou's Ma Chao, Jiaozhou's Sima Zhi and Yizhou's Huang Zhong as the rear of the battle, ready sufficient materials and personnel, and were ordered to support at any time, while Liu Qi personally led 20,000 personal soldiers, 20,000 Wudang Fei Army and 50,000 government soldiers, went to Nanyang, turned around Lümeng's army, prepared to attack Yuzhou, and then used this as a springboard to attack Luoyang with Zhou Yu and Gan Ning. This time, no matter how much it costs, Luoyang must be conquered, and it will be difficult for King Qin.

As a result, after three years of brief peace, the beacon fire was once again ignited on the land of Shenzhou, and a protracted war appeared between the north and the south. (To be continued......)
