Chapter 431: Helpless Liu Bei
Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Emperor Xian frowned slightly. Immediately, Emperor Xian thought that now that it was time for life and death, Dong Cheng did not hesitate to risk his life to enter the palace to find him, not just for his own Han court.
Others don't even care about their lives, but they care about these pains, which is really a bit undeserved. You know, how can the pain on your hands compare to the pain in your heart, you have been suppressed for a long time, and most of your heart is already dead.
Now that such an excellent opportunity is in front of me, if I don't cherish it, it will definitely be too late to regret it.
Emperor Xian glanced at Dong Cheng, then shook his head and said: "According to what the national abbot said, with blood as ink, I will write an edict." ”
"Then I will hand it over here, and I will inform the imperial uncle to enter the palace." Dong Cheng opened his mouth and said.
Dong Cheng was very happy about Emperor Xian's plan to promise him. Moreover, this plan is very beneficial to oneself, because it does not hurt oneself in the slightest. Because Zhao Fei, who passed the edict out, even if it was found, it was Liu Bei who suffered, and he had nothing to do with him.
As soon as he left the emperor's dormitory, Dong Cheng met a few soldiers. However, the treatment this time is much more miserable than last time, after all, Dong Cheng has just revealed his killing intent to a few people, and several people are naturally very dissatisfied with Dong Cheng.
In the face of such a ruffian, Dong Cheng could only bear it silently. At this time, he kept comforting himself that all of this was in the past, as long as he had real power, these people would die because of today's way to himself.
Leaving the palace in anger, Dong Cheng walked towards Liu Bei's mansion. Liu Bei is a very important link, without him, Dong Cheng doesn't know who to find to risk his life.
At this moment, Liu Bei was frowning and thinking about something in the study. Because of Zhang Fei's reminder, a lot of doubts suddenly rose in his heart. If you don't solve these doubts, I'm afraid that you will be like this in the future.
Although Zhang Fei doesn't like to use his brain, this also has this advantage, that is, Zhang Fei's words are very direct, and it is easy to say everything to the point.
Zhao Fei is resourceful and very clever. It's hard to deceive him, otherwise he won't win every battle. Such a person fell for his own scheme so easily, which Liu Bei somewhat did not believe.
If Zhao Fei was such an easily deceived person, then he would have died a long time ago, and he had such power and ability.
If Zhao Fei was not fooled, it can only show one point, that is, Zhao Fei is an ambitious person. He had already had the intention of rebelling, but he was just taking advantage of the situation to rise.
Liu Bei did not dare to agree with this. If Zhao Fei is really ambitious, why should he take refuge in Cao Cao. With his resourcefulness and the elite of the wolf pack under his command, Zhao Fei will definitely be able to achieve a prince in a short period of time. How he needed to rely on Cao Cao, there was no reason to be suppressed by him.
But this doesn't work, that doesn't work, Liu Bei can only summarize one result. And this result also made Liu Bei break out in a cold sweat and almost fall to the ground.
Since Zhao Fei has no anti-Cao heart, and he will not be easily fooled, it can only prove that Zhao Fei has already seen his plan, and the most so-called thing now is to plan and kill Dong Cheng and his people in one go.
But for this, Liu Bei is not sure. Because even if it is a plan, Zhao Fei does not need to use such a battle. You must know that now Xuchang City's endurance has reached a limit, whether it is Cao Cao or Zhao Fei, what the two of them have done is shocking.
Now that the two of them are only seeing a starting point, if someone touches this point, then Xuchang City will be a bloody storm. And Liu Bei can be sure that this bloody storm is much more dangerous than the last time, and the harm he brings is absolutely incomparable.
Moreover, even if it is really a plan, Zhao Fei's move is too risky. After all, now that the situation in Xuchang City is on the verge of collapse, if someone adds fuel to the fire, Zhao Fei will do the opposite even if he doesn't want to.
Thinking about it, Liu Bei didn't think of Zhao Fei's intentions. This made Liu Bei feel very uncomfortable, because he felt that at this time, his life was in the hands of others, and as long as someone wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of moving his mouth.
This feeling made Liu Bei extremely disgusted, but he didn't like it, so he could only endure it silently.
Just when Liu Bei was thinking a lot, someone outside the door came to report, saying that Dong Cheng, the national abbot, was here.
For Dong Cheng, Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with him at this time. Because in his opinion, Dong Cheng is a selfish and complacent villain, to put it mildly, Dong Cheng is a traitorous villain around Emperor Xian.
However, Liu Bei still chose to meet Dong Cheng, he wanted to see what Dong Cheng was looking for.
Dong Cheng came to Liu Bei's study, and after seeing Liu Bei, Dong Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Huang, the saint has sent you to the palace to discuss matters." ”
Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Liu Bei suddenly became suspicious. I don't know how suspicious Liu Bei is, but he doesn't understand why the emperor asked Dong Chenglai to inform him when he was looking for him.
"What the hell is going on, I actually let you come here in person." Liu Bei asked.
"What Your Majesty means, how can I guess." Dong Cheng said when he heard this.
The more Dong Cheng didn't tell himself, the more suspicious Liu Bei became. And at this time, Dong Cheng urged again: "Uncle Liu Huang, the Holy Lord is still waiting for you in the court, you quickly attack the Face Saint." ”
Liu Bei still said something, but Dong Cheng had already come up to pull him, so Liu Bei had no choice but to follow Dong Cheng into the palace.
Before entering the palace, Liu Bei felt that today's palace was extraordinary. The entire palace was heavily guarded, almost several times more than on normal days.
After some searching, Liu Bei entered the palace. Seeing Liu Bei, Emperor Xian was obviously overjoyed and hurriedly came to Liu Bei's side.
"I've seen Uncle Huang." Emperor Xian said.
Seeing that Emperor Xian was so polite, Liu Bei knew that Emperor Xian must have asked for himself. If this is the case, why should the emperor be like this to himself.
"Uncle Huang, now that my Han situation is dangerous, Zhao Fei and Cao Cao are confronting each other and endangering my Han." Emperor Xian said with great emotion.
"Sure enough!" Liu Bei secretly said in his heart that it was not good. Cao Cao and Zhao Fei have made it difficult for them to survive in the cracks, and now that Emperor Xian has come out to stir up the situation, it will make the situation in the entire Xuchang more and more chaotic, if one is not careful, the consequences are absolutely immeasurable.
However, looking at the appearance of the emperor, it is absolutely impossible for him not to agree. You must know that he still needs to keep the status of the emperor's uncle, because he needs this reputation to walk in the troubled times. If you lose this name for this, all your efforts will be in vain.
"But Your Majesty, I am single and weak, and my strength is low, how can I help Your Majesty?" Liu Bei said softly. For him, he didn't want to get involved in the battle between Zhao Fei and Cao Cao, especially when he was already suspicious.
Emperor Xian glanced at Liu Bei dissatisfied, and then said quite angrily: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong, I know that you have thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, as long as you mobilize military horses into Beijing, and then wait for Zhao Fei and Cao Cao to kill both defeats, Uncle Huang, you will lead the army to kill, and you will definitely win with one blow." When the time comes, Uncle Huang, you will be the hero of protecting the country. ”
"Is that hero who protects the country so easy to do!" Liu Bei said secretly. However, even if it is said psychologically, it cannot be revealed on the surface. After all, he still needs to count on the emperor, and the emperor still has some effect on himself.
Thinking of this, and seeing Emperor Xian's eyes staring at him, Liu Bei could only nod and say, "Since this is the case, it is all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
However, although Liu Bei said this verbally, he did not have the slightest awareness of doing so in his heart. I have thousands of soldiers, but those are my own capital to start with. After all, in this troubled world, military power is the most important thing.
Could it be that Emperor Xian really wants to recognize himself as an imperial uncle? It's not that he has military power in his hands, he's just using himself. But for themselves, it's just taking advantage of each other, each taking what he needs.
Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Emperor Xian nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of whether Liu Bei is truly loyal to himself or not, as long as he still has the value of use, he can continue to use it. After all, with Cao **, Liu Bei in front of him is indeed weak.
The weaker the person, the easier it is to control. Therefore, for Emperor Xian, Liu Bei is really negligible.
Subsequently, Emperor Xian took out the jade belt that had been made, came to Liu Bei and said: "The edict in this jade belt is written in blood by me personally and used to crusade against Cao Cao, so I also hope that the imperial uncle can take this edict out of the palace." ”
Emperor Xian's words gave Liu Bei a problem. Now that the palace is heavily guarded, Liu Bei knows it all just from the way in. And in such a situation, how can I bring the edict out safely?
Outside the palace were Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and the emperor's edict was set up personally for the purpose of murdering Cao Cao. Therefore, if the edict really fell into the hands of those soldiers outside the door, then the next consequences can be imagined.
Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Emperor Xian hurriedly said: "I hope that Uncle Huang will help me, otherwise I might as well be killed by a head-on." After speaking, Emperor Xian turned his head and rushed towards a pillar.
But fortunately, Dong Cheng's hands were quick, and he grabbed Emperor Xian and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't do stupid things!" ”
Dong Cheng's expression of compassion and compassion stabilized Emperor Xian's mood.
Looking at this farce, Liu Beizhi frowned. In his opinion, whether it is Emperor Xian or Dong Cheng, their acting skills are really poor.
But even so, Liu Bei could only bow down and say: "Your Majesty thinks twice, I'll take this matter next." You must know that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and Your Majesty cannot talk about life and death at all in the future. ”
Hearing that Liu Bei finally agreed to himself, Emperor Xian's mood suddenly rose. Then, he broke free from Dong Cheng's embrace and said softly to Zhao Fei: "Thank you Uncle Huang for living in the Han world, and arguing about Uncle Huang's great kindness." And Uncle Huang, you can rest assured, I will definitely not do such stupid things again. ”
