Although he was in Xuchang, Dong Cheng still knew a lot of inside information about the changes of the Yuan family that almost affected the situation of the entire Han Dynasty. At least Dong Cheng knew very well about Cao Cao's real purpose of nominally sending troops to mediate the situation in Hebei by force on the order of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven is not stupid. Although Cao Cao greeted him every day when he was in Xuchang, he was bound to be present at the 357 day of the court meeting, and no matter who came before or after, he was very respectful, giving him enough face as a great man. If it was two or three years ago, if he hadn't experienced Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan's two thieves, maybe Liu Xie would really think that this was a manifestation of Cao Cao's loyalty to the country, just like Cao Cao boasted in front of Liu Xie, he was worried that the Son of Heaven was young and delayed national affairs, so he did everything himself, and the Son of Heaven only needed to work hard to learn political affairs with Cao Cao's subordinates, and it was enough to get along peacefully. But after all, the Son of Heaven has personally experienced the power of the ministers to uphold the government, and the Son of Heaven has fallen to the side, although even Liu Xie himself knows that now the decline of the Han Dynasty is fully revealed, just with his hairy child, even if it is the reincarnation of Emperor Wen and the resurrection of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to make a difference only by virtue of this group of loyal or Xu Jia's courtiers in the court. It is also an urgent need for capable ministers like Cao Cao, who can at least be loyal to the monarch on the surface, to calm down the troubled times, and then try to do anything else. In such a situation, talking about the rule of the world and the troubled times, capable ministers or loyal ministers, this is actually a false proposition, and in the end when facing Cao Cao in reality. On the one hand, under the influence of the courtiers around him, Liu Xie is indeed more and more jealous of this "talisman" Cao Cao, who was evaluated by General Xu Zi as "a capable minister who rules the world and a hero of troubled times". But on the other hand, it had to rely on the power of Cao Jun to demonstrate the prestige of the imperial court.

Fortunately, although Cao Cao's strength is stronger now, the inertia of the Han Dynasty for 400 years is still difficult for people to jump out of the shackles, which has formed a scene of the apparent balance between the "royalist" courtiers headed by Dong Cheng and the actual controller Cao Cao.

Cao Cao kept these people to protect his reputation. In order to cover up his growing dissatisfaction with being constrained in everything, how can Dong Cheng not know this? It's just that he has also experienced the chaos of the ministers, and Dong Cheng has shown kindness to Lu Bu and Yuan Shao's forces at the beginning. It is inevitable that there will be some suspicions. However, the difference is that the strength of Lu Bu's army is there, and the strength of the army is often Chen Jinan, which is far away from Xuchang. It's only a few hundred miles away. Fast horses can be here in one day and night, and people don't care what he thinks Dong Cheng will think, just like after Qin Xu sent a "repeat offender" to Xuchang last time and was attacked, people didn't care much about the court, or what Cao Cao would say, and he also had a dispensable attitude towards the "goodwill" shown by Dong Cheng at that time. But I have to admit that this kind of deterrence is sometimes more able to maintain the only remaining authority of the Son of Heaven than to "snatch away" the Son of Heaven, so I hate and hate it. On the one hand, after all, Qin Xu's agitation made Cao Cao suffer a lot of losses, but he still couldn't love Qin Xu's "ignorance of lifting".

But despite this, compared to the Yuan family, Lu Bujun is simply enough to be regarded as a model of loyalty. The old Yuan family is a family of scholars who have received the "favor" of the Han court. Those things that have been done, to be honest, Dong Cheng doesn't look at them very much. Not to mention that when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Yuan Shao's move to set up another Son of Heaven with an unclear explanation of his motives, just when Cao Cao and Lu Bu rushed to Chang'an to save the Son of Heaven in danger, it was also his Yuan Shao's troops that came belatedly in the end. In this regard, Dong Cheng's perception of Yuan Shao is very bad. What's more, the old Yuan family also came up with a traitor Yuan Shu who secretly hid the artifact of the country and became the emperor. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the beheading of the whole door can be regarded as a light punishment, and even more hateful than Dong Zhuo, who insulted hundreds of officials and defiled the court, and Li Dao and Guo Yan, who fought with each other according to courtiers and the Son of Heaven!

Fortunately, now the traitors such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who are either loyal ministers or plotting against the emperor, have all returned to dust, but what these brothers have done is difficult to follow. This is why Cao Cao wanted to invade Hebei, although the courtiers knew that this was just Cao Cao's desire to expand his territory, so he came up with a lame reconciliation of the Yuan family. The excuse for the war, but after a little resistance, the reason why Cao Cao fought smoothly in Hebei. This is also a false proposition with contradictions that are difficult to explain, but whether it is Cao Cao or the courtiers, it is rare to maintain a consistent silence.

And at this time, the visit of Yuan Shang and Yuan Shang, and because of his "family affairs", he really let them into the mansion, Dong Cheng felt a little unnatural emotions in his heart.

Judging by the current form. Although Cao Cao's actions, on the one hand, did smooth the mood of the courtiers who were disgusted by the pickled things made by the old Yuan family, Cao Cao was diametrically opposed to the courtiers in terms of each other's fundamental interests. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the intention of the two, to be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Dong Cheng is still willing to help if he can without harming himself.

But the top strategist in front of him, who was once under Yuan Shao, was the source of Dong Cheng's unease. Frustrated! That's frustrating! That once tried to persuade Yuan Shao to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes frustrated! If Yuan Shao's actions are suspected of being chaotic ministers and thieves, then this one really did not put the Han court in his eyes, and even the Son of Heaven was just a tool in his heart. Dealing with this kind of person, to be honest, Dong Cheng really doesn't have any confidence in his heart. But the problem is that because of the "upset" just now, these two people have been taken to the house, if they can't meet some of the conditions of these two people, if they get stiff, they will be unlucky in the end, and it is estimated that they will definitely not be the two people who have nothing to do and can turn around and leave. I can't say that I will even be caught in it in the end. So what's the trouble!

"What's wrong with Uncle Guo? Could it be that the cheap name has polluted the ears of the nobles? Seeing that Dong Cheng showed this expression after hearing his name and surname, he didn't understand Dong Cheng's mental fluctuations at the moment, and at first he was worried that Dong Cheng would have the idea of "not cooperating", but at this time, he already had the bottom of his heart, and a little smile appeared on his face.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yuan Sangongzi and Mr. Gonghe. After the third son of Yuan Gaomen, Mr. Gonghe is a famous person in Hebei, Dong Cheng has been famous for a long time, and he can see it today, but it is also a fortunate thing to inherit! I don't know what the two gentlemen have to say when they come here? "When Cao Cao led his troops out on the expedition, and the place of the expedition was still the former leader of the Yuan family, Dong Chengfu, who knew that he was not very good with Cao Cao, came to the Dong Cheng Mansion, which was known to the government and the opposition to deal with Cao Cao, and his intention was naturally self-evident. If it were in normal times, I can't say that Dong Cheng would really help the two people who came to the door and could add some blockage to Cao Cao, so as not to hurt himself. But now, because of his baby daughter, Dong Cheng, who thinks he has a son of heaven as a "backer", has lost his original self-confidence. If the Son of Heaven found clues to that matter, then who would believe that Dong Cheng would only know it after the fact? When the time comes, let alone help someone, it may be a luxury to be able to save your life under the wrath of the Son of Heaven and not be left to the ground by Cao Cao's family. Therefore, after knowing the identities of Fu Zhu and Yuan Shang, Dong Cheng only showed a little surprise at the beginning, and then returned to a strong and calm face.

"Uncle Guo seems to be in some trouble lately? I don't know if I can wait, can I help in any way? Frustrated, since Dong Cheng "met" him, he has been changing his face, it stands to reason that even if the sudden arrival of himself and others makes Dong Cheng suspicious, there will never be such a big mood swing. Then there is only one explanation, before the two of them came, Dong Cheng must have encountered something tricky, and in terms of Dong Cheng's identity, it is by no means a simple matter to make Dong Cheng like this, and the people involved are definitely not Riba people. Seeing Dong Cheng's current state, it was really difficult to "help" himself to achieve any vision, so he didn't care about talking deeply, so he borrowed someone's tiger skin rarely, pulled back the banner, approached Dong Cheng a little, and whispered mysteriously: "Uncle Guo must not be too careful." There are some things, even in Xuchang, Xiao Ke and others are actually helping. Uncle Guo knows that my son-in-law once almost replaced Qin Xu, the current assassin of Xuzhou, and became the son-in-law of the hussar general Lu Wenhou! In fact, I don't hide it from Uncle Guo, and now the safety of our people is also maintained by General Lu, so that we can come to Xuchang through the Mijia business road without being investigated by Cao Cao......"

"Huh? Qin Xu! The words of the frustrated professor were vague, and the voice was getting smaller and smaller, in fact, he wanted to create a very hard atmosphere in the background, even if he did not have the once strong backing of the Yuan family, it was not for everyone to bully, at least Cao Cao's only fearful Qingzhou Lu Bu now had an extraordinary relationship with himself and others. It's a pity that Dong Cheng failed to borrow the prestige of Lu Bujun from the two of them in front of him. It was Qin Xu's name, which seemed to have touched Dong Cheng's sensitive heartstrings. Almost subconsciously intuition, Qin Xu's young face flashed, making Dong Cheng's heart move, and he looked towards the backyard uncontrollably. (To be continued......)
