Chapter 553: The Han Dynasty Collapses, and the Heroes Dance (2)

Under the fence, there must be the consciousness of the fence, obviously, including the Son of Heaven, all officials and ministers do not have such thoughts. Perhaps it was because when Cao Cao "took over" from Lu Bu's hands, he was too deferential and humble, and in order to block the comparison between the world and Yuan Shao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he never restricted the actions of the Son of Heaven and the courtiers on the surface, plus Cao Cao concentrated on expansion, and he has always adopted a cold and laissez-faire attitude towards the hundred officials headed by Dong Cheng in order to avoid chaos in the camp. It made many people think that the tiger who was born in Cao Cao was a eunuch as a dog guarding the door.

I don't know that Xuchang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, even when Cao Cao originally dispatched elite troops from all over the territory to attack Hebei, he left one-third of the army to control Xuchang. Now that Cao Cao's class has returned, no less than 50,000 elite soldiers of Cao's army have gathered here. It is no exaggeration to say that under such all-weather and multi-directional monitoring, every move of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials will only be chosen by Cao Cao whether he wants to know or not. That is to say, Cao Cao always adhered to the name of Hanchen, and did not bully the king like Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, but intended to replace him. Otherwise, it would not just be a bloody night in Xuchang, it would be as simple as making the courtiers stop a lot.

Now, Cao Cao wanted to do something. There is no other reason, in Cao Cao's heart, at least for now, whether it is to control the five states or send troops to Hebei, Cao Cao believes that what he maintains is the country of the Han Dynasty, after all, the young son of heaven who lives in the palace city now is still surnamed Liu. Eat and drink for yourself. Serving respectfully, and planning to marry his daughter into the palace, why can't he still win the trust of this young king? Eat mine, use mine, live mine. I still want to send my daughter away, you don't treat me as a countryman, and in the end you even stabbed me from behind? It took so much effort in vain, and even did not hesitate to offend Lu Bu, who was on the side of the couch, and Jizhou, which had just been able to succeed, was sold away. Yes, sell it. Anyway, the cub doesn't feel sorry for Ye Tian, the world belongs to your Liu family, there is nothing to say. But you have to get some benefits to be considered not a loss! Just a few sentences from someone disrupted all the arrangements, and even the state was also buried with the bane of instability, this big man and young man. Who knows what's going on in their hearts?

Although ethically. Liu Xie and Cao Cao are monarchs and ministers, but from the perspective of family affairs, Cao Cao thinks that Weng's son-in-law is comparable to father and son, and he has this responsibility and power to teach himself, the supreme son-in-law, how to treat meritorious ministers, how to distinguish between priority and priority, and especially how to "respect the old and love the young"!

So Cao Cao found Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu was the son of the late general Cao Hong. Because of Dad's kindness at the beginning, and Cao Xiu is indeed very cautious. is also a relative of the Cao family and Cao Cao's servant, so he is trusted by Cao Cao, and has always asked him to guard his side, and occasionally help Cao Cao do some "private" things.

This time, Cao Xiu received the order to take over the defense of the palace city, and secretly investigate who the person who entered the palace with Dong Cheng that day was sacred. was able to persuade Liu Xie, who was not very old but extremely cautious because of the two thieves of Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, to issue this kind of edict that would obviously cause Cao Cao's displeasure and affect the relationship between the monarch and the future son-in-law. You must know that Cao Cao has already won Liu Xie's will, and after coming back this time, he sent his eldest daughter Cao Jie to the palace as a concubine. Once he becomes a relative of the royal family, Cao Cao will not have to be constrained everywhere as he is now in many ways. Therefore, at this joint, no one who can influence Liu Xie's mind is allowed to stay in the palace, and it must not be too blatant. There is only one trick to adjust the defense, so that Cao Xiu can take the opportunity of changing the guards everywhere in the palace to strictly investigate.

As for whether the two people who were introduced into the palace by Dong Cheng in the mouth of the chamberlain are still in the palace, Cao Cao is not worried about this. Whether it is from the time of persuading Liu Xie, or from the fact that after the palace guards found out the clues, Cao Cao was more than eighty percent sure that the two did not leave the palace before their class returned to the court. Cao Cao himself is a soldier master, if those two people are really the two of them who are the two of them who are frustrated or Tian Feng and Yuan Shang, they should naturally know that this Xuchang City, after they have aroused their own ideas, is more easy to enter and difficult to exit, and the safest place will definitely not be Dong Cheng's mansion stared at by countless pairs of eyes, but in the palace city. It's the so-called dark under the lights!

The newly built palace city in Xuchang is completely imitated from the old capital of Luoyang, with hundreds of palace houses, full of palace people and palace maids from Luoyang to Chang'an, and from Chang'an all the way to Xuchang. And if Cao Cao really wants to find someone, it will never be easy, whether it is identity, time, or manpower. It can be said that if there are really two people mentioned by the inner servant, according to Cao Cao's speculation, they must be among these people. And the excuse that the Son of Heaven will welcome the daughter of the general of the cavalry, and change the guards in the palace, and let someone clean the palace is undoubtedly the least suspicious.

Cao Cao's military orders in Xuchang are much more effective than Liu Xie, the young son of heaven, who is difficult to deal with in the government. Just after the third watch, the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Cao army who were ordered to guard the palace city had already begun to change their guards in an orderly manner. Seeing the fall of the Son of Heaven, it is inevitable that some of the soldiers of the Cao Army who have lost their sense of awe, will inevitably make a little louder, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was awakened, does not know what happened, only to see that under the night, countless armored soldiers with torches come and go in the palace forbidden, and the bright soldiers glow blue and cold under the moonlight, and they are so frightened that they don't even have time to put on their robes, so they hide in the side room, until they find that these soldiers don't seem to be very interested in him, the son of heaven. Under the shouts of the school officials and uncles headed by each of them, they only expelled the palace maids and eunuchs from the residence, and casually threw some rags and rags in one place, so they slowly put down their hearts, and did not dare to put down the shelves in anger to ask the soldiers in front of the outer gate of the palace of the guards, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not good! This group of rebels who have no kings have actually used this method to come here to find people! This breath has not yet been exhausted, but Liu Xie's pale face suddenly changed, revealing a little frightened, looking a little hideous from the side, looking at Liu Xie's side, at this moment is already a waiter with a smell of urine in the lower body, and he feels warm under his crotch again.

In fact, if it weren't for the current Han Dynasty after several generations of "superb" emperors, he would have been riddled with holes and rotten foundations, and Liu Xie, the current young son of heaven, who had suffered a lot of hardships, would be much better than those ancestors before him, both in terms of heart and temperament. Although Cao Cao's strategy seemed to take care of the face of their monarchs and ministers a little, the actions of Cao's soldiers according to the order still made Liu Xie see the clues.

"Don't be alarmed! The last general and others were just ordered to clean the palace in order to prepare for the great joy of the Son of Heaven and the concubine in the coming day! The soldiers are grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and they all strive to be the first, not wanting to disturb the holy driver, and the last will wait for ten thousand deaths! Perhaps the tiger and leopard cavalrymen who suffered a big setback in the war in Hebei and the elite soldiers of the Cao army who had no "opportunity" to fight on the front line before were quite resentful of this son of heaven who stumbled behind his lord's back, so the movement was really too big, and when Cao Xiu and Cao Chun arrived, they couldn't help but feel a little hot on their faces. The two of them are also natives of the Han Dynasty who have been "educated by Zhongjun" for decades, how can they talk about Liu Xie, the young son of heaven, behind their backs, not to mention it, they met in person, and they were still in such an embarrassing scene, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little hot on their faces. But thinking of Cao Cao's instructions, he still said stubbornly.

"Cao Aiqing and Zhongqing are really my loyal ministers!" Liu Xie, who had left a shadow in the previous Dong Zhuo and the two thieves' eras, was quite afraid of the use of troops in the palace ban, and when he saw Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, the two generals of the Cao army, saying such "respectful" nonsense, he couldn't help but show a trace of coldness at the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Since General Xiaocai is so anxious to be my father-in-law, then let it be!" It's just that you need to keep in mind that other places are tossed with you, but the Cheng'en Hall in the palace is the temple where I temporarily worship the first emperors of the past dynasties, and the Fanghua Garden is the place where Dong Guiren lived, so you must not be disturbed by these two places! Let's go! ”

"No!" Cao Chun and Cao Xiu glanced at each other, with a little smile in their eyes, and bowed their heads to Liu Xie and said. But he didn't notice that Liu Xie's eyes also flashed with the same sneer.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say a few days ago that the Cheng'en Hall urgently needs to be cleaned, don't let the tablets of the previous emperors be dusted......" has been following Liu Xie's side, at this moment the pants are cold, and I don't know whether it is the cold or the scared waiter who is shivering, carefully helped Liu Xie back to the dormitory, and seemed to ask casually.

"What do you know! Hum! Where are they cleaning the palace, have you ever seen a precedent for ordinary people to clean their houses in the middle of the night? Since Liu Xie returned to the dormitory, the sneer on the corner of his mouth has not dissipated, listening to the question of the chamberlain, he said casually, but he stopped in time, glared at the chamberlain suspiciously, and said nothing. When the chamberlain walked away, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and the hideous color on his face that did not belong to his age flashed, as if he said to himself: "Hmph! Fiction is real, reality is virtual, Cao Mengde, this is what you taught me! These two places are the places where the tablets of the previous emperors are enshrined, and the other is the place where the concubines of the inner palace live, but they are all good places for Tibetans! You two clan generals, don't go! Otherwise, how can I force you to cut off your own arms and become mortal enemies with the useless officials led by my centrifugal uncle! Cao Cao! Cao Aiqing, the two people you chose must not disappoint me to ......" (to be continued......
