Chapter 159: Cao Cao in the Eyes of Emperor Han Xian
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was lucky, because God gave him a shrewd mind, which was an innate capital that many emperors wanted but could not get; With this, he can better rule the country and govern the world; Emperor Han Xian was precocious, because he was raised by his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong, and he witnessed countless intrigues in the depths of the palace, which also made him know how to fight early! How to fight! With the experience of living; But all this Emperor Han Xian couldn't use, because at the same time, Emperor Han Xian was also tragic, because he was taken hostage before he could display his ambitions and talents, a person who was a hostage all his life; From Dong Zhuo to Li Dao, Guo Yan, and then perhaps... Cao Cao, he has always been struggling and confused; He seems to be a canary in a cage, he can't fly high or fly... Long before his accession to the throne, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty may have heard of Cao Cao; As a young man, he may have thought that Cao Cao was just the grandson of Cao Teng, a domestic slave and eunuch. And this grandson was also reborn by Cao Song after Cao Teng succeeded Cao Song, the son of the Xiahou family, as his son.
Cao Cao's background is very despised by the world; Liu Xie, who is the king of Chen Liu, is no exception. After that, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was inexplicably supported as the emperor by the great warlord Xiliang Assassin Shi Dong Feifei and began his puppet career.
This kind of life made Emperor Han Xian suffer for a long time, and he always fantasized that someone could come to rescue him, and then restore the majesty of the imperial family, unify the country, and restore the society... The princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for Dong, and Emperor Han Xian's heart ignited the flame of hope, but the ending was a failure; Dong Zhuo was expelled and Wang Yun was unwise, which made him fall into the cage again, he was not a person who was willing to accept the status quo, so he issued a holy decree to call on people from all walks of life to come to the rescue; It's a pity that except for Zhang Yang, who sent troops to rescue him, no one else sent troops, and they seemed to be more concerned about sharing Cao Cao's Yanzhou at that time; Over time, the flame of hope of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to be about to be extinguished in the long river of history, and in the trance of the flames, a little "lamp oil" made him ignite a stronger hope, which was the tripartite alliance led by Cao Cao outside the city; It's a pity that the person he fantasized about was here to save him - not Jizhou's "loyal minister" Yuan Shao! It's the traitorous eunuch who has always been looked down on by him - Cao Cao!
At this time, Emperor Han Xian finally woke up from his illusions, and he understood that some people needed him, and some people didn't want him to get out of the cage of Chang'an... Thinking of the previous bits and pieces, Emperor Han Xian was amazed, he almost chilled the heart of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
Cao Cao, who succumbed to the thief and Dong Zhuo, then took the opportunity to assassinate him, fled to Chenliu alone, and called on the rebels to join the alliance, he was the first and most active person to save him; Cao Cao, when the princes did not dare to enter the army with ghosts in their hearts, it was Cao Cao who made suggestions over and over again, hoping that the princes could save him, just when Dong Zhuo jumped into the ranks of the most powerful relocated households in the Han Dynasty, it was also Cao Cao who sent troops to rescue him desperately, but the others were always indifferent, and they fought for a jade seal; And when Dong Zhuo sent an army to ambush Cao Cao, he was beside Dong Zhuo, and at that time he still didn't think that Cao Cao was a great character, he just thought that these were all things that Cao Cao should do, but! Now he realized that Cao Cao didn't do that right, because many people didn't do it, but no one condemned them... This is the argument of the majority, and it is right to obey the will of the majority... I heard that after Cao Cao escaped in Xingyang, he began to show his strength in the Kanto region, first took Chen Liu, and then suppressed the Qingzhou Million Yellow Turban Uprising, and then was greeted as the Yanzhou Assassin History, these exploits were expressed to the imperial court, and the people in power in the Xiliang Army had changed from Dong Zhuo to Li Dao and Guo Yan at this time, and Li and Guo, who wanted to befriend Cao Cao, asked the court to crown him as the Assassin Shi and the general of Zhendong.
The edict was signed by Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and his impression of Cao Cao may have changed at this time, but it was still far from reaching the same standard as his "fantasy hero" until this time......... Dividing line
Master Cao is here, and the day is coming! Master Cao is here, and the blue sky is there! Why do you want to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan? Because they offend the face of heaven! Because they deprived an emperor of his freedom! Who is the Emperor? Really! Kill them!
Li Dao and Guo Yan's increasingly panicked and irritable actions made Emperor Han Xian happy in his eyes, because he knew that Li and Guo knew that they might not be the opponents of the coalition forces outside the city, so they showed such impatient behavior, and if they were in their chests, they would not be like this; With his chin on his hand, Emperor Han Xian looked up at the birds flying happily outside the window, life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is freedom, both can be thrown; Emperor Han Xian didn't know this sentence, but his state of mind at this time undoubtedly coincided with it; "Your Majesty! Your Majesty? Sikong Zhao Wen helped his brother Situ Zhao Qian carefully interrupted Emperor Han Xian's thoughts outside the world; Time has passed, and now Emperor Xian of Han is eleven years old, coupled with his mature mentality, he doesn't look like a young man at all, but a young man who has passed the years of playing; Stopping the worship of the elderly Zhao brothers, Emperor Han Xian: "What is the important matter for the two Aiqing to come?" ”
Zhao Wen cautiously observed the surroundings, suggesting that Emperor Han Xian dismiss the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and Emperor Han Xian waved his hand clearly: "Let's all step down!" ”
Many of these eunuchs and palace maids are the eyeliners planted by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they were told not to leave Emperor Han Xian half a step no matter what, and they must watch him and not allow him to contact the important ministers of the court outside, at this time they are in a dilemma, on the one hand, it is the order of the Son of Heaven who is high, and on the other hand, it is the matter explained by their master... What can I do?
The indifference of a few little eunuchs and palace maids made Emperor Han Xian angry, and he angrily reprimanded: "The Han is not dead yet!" Do you still have me in your eyes? Don't think I can't cure you! Li Dao, Guo Yan, I can't move! But killing a few of you is like crushing an ant! Don't get out of here yet! ”
Not everyone is afraid of death, especially this kind of eunuch who is not a complete man, they are all some who came to the depths of the palace because they couldn't eat, generally they are single without worry, they have nothing, some are just a small life, so they cherish it extraordinarily... The momentary majesty of Emperor Han Xian actually scared off these people, and he also cheered up his heavenly prestige once; After the eunuchs and palace maids all walked out, Emperor Han Xian smiled self-deprecatingly: "What this emperor did is really a wretch!" ”
The brothers of the Zhao family hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty the Emperor must not be arrogant!" This big Han is still ..."
Hearing a long speech, Emperor Han Xian's heart was even more impatient: "Do you have anything to say about the two Aiqing?" Go ahead! Maybe Li and Guo are already here! ”
Sikong Zhao Wen struggled to get up from the ground, then handed a piece of silk cloth in his hand to Emperor Han Xian, and whispered in Emperor Han Xian's ear: "This is sent by Cao Cao outside the city!" …”
Li Yu sent a total of three letters to He Man, one to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, stating the current situation of some coalition forces, with the purpose of appeasing the emotions of Emperor Han Xian, and at the same time making Emperor Han Xian feel close to Cao Cao, and move closer to Cao Cao's side; One was given to Sikong Zhao Wen, asking him to find a way to keep the emperor safe, and another was given to Taiwei Yang Biao, who asked him to protect Liu Xie, the son of heaven, like Sikong Zhao Wen, the difference is that Li Yu also told him a message hoping that he could provoke the conflict between Li and Guo according to the plan... Emperor Han Xian tightly grasped the silk silk in his hand, almost tears rained down, and the Zhao brothers were also choked with grief: "This is really a poor family and a filial piety country, showing loyalty to the country!" Your Majesty! After moving out from here, you must reward Cao Mengde again! ”
Emperor Han Xian: "Definitely! Certain! …”
Li Dao got the news of the secret meeting between Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Sikong Zhao Wen and Situ Zhao Qian, and soon rushed to meet the Zhao brothers who had returned; Li Dao stared at the two of them gloomily, and said meaningfully: "Lord Situ! Sikong-sama! What not to do, what not to do! You two elders also understand this! Don't mess around! ”
The Zhao brothers bowed in fear, silent and relative;
Li Dao laughed loudly, the submission of the Zhao family brothers seemed to make him feel a lot more happy in his heart, and turned around and walked outside the palace, because Li Dao knew that there was no point in going now... The Zhao brothers looked at Li Dao's distant back and glanced at each other...
