"Okay, okay, then I'll get straight to the point." After Cao Cao finished speaking, his eyes shot directly at Dong Guifei, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

I only listened to Cao Cao's words and said: "In the past, King Zhao and His Majesty had secret talks and discussed ulterior secrets, but in fact, King Zhao pretended to be His Majesty's power to gather power for himself, and now King Zhao is always threatening the authority of my Han Dynasty. And Your Majesty turned a deaf ear to this, and if it goes on like this, the country of the Han family will change hands for hundreds of years, and I want Concubine Dong to move Your Majesty, get rid of the selfishness of King Zhao, and stand on the side of my Cao family. Otherwise, I promise Concubine Dong that you will never want to see your precious son in your life. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he got up and left, without looking at Dong Guifei, leaving Dong Guifei Mu Ran sitting there, recalling what Cao Cao said just now: "Otherwise, I promise that you will never see your son again." ”

In fact, Dong Guifei is an understanding person, and the survival of herself and Liu Li depends on the strategy of Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao at the beginning, and it is precisely because of the existence of Zhao Yu that her family of three has lived a quiet life in the past few years.

But as the relationship between Zhao Yu and Cao Cao gradually cracked in recent days, and the situation between the two sides became increasingly tense, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to use the chess piece of the Son of Heaven. Whether it is for Concubine Dong herself or for His Majesty, Zhao Yu can be said to be the only hope.

But Cao Cao put his family under house arrest in the palace all day long, and married his three daughters Cao Hua, Cao Xian, and Cao Jie into the palace gate respectively, and his life with Liu Li was gradually threatened. If you refuse, you will die, and if you agree, you can still live for a few days, and it is better to die than to live.

Listening to the hearty laughter of her children playing in the backyard, Concubine Dong took a deep breath, seemed to have made a heavy decision, and finally stood up and looked up to the sky and sighed: "King Zhao, the great kindness of the past, Concubine Dong has nothing to repay, but for the sake of my child, Concubine Dong has no choice but to be sorry, I hope King Zhao can forgive." ”

As soon as the early dynasty ended, Liu Xie retreated to the back garden, and saw Dong Guifei looking at the sky and pondering, "Why is Concubine Ai depressed today, what about our children?" ”

Hearing this voice, Concubine Dong Guifei hurriedly woke up from her contemplation, walked over to greet Liu Xie, and said, "Your Majesty seems to be going to court a little earlier than in the past, and it is rare for Your Majesty to be so happy after going to court, isn't there something good that can't be done?" ”

"Concubine, listen carefully to me, listen to you, King Zhao, my eldest brother has built a naval army in the land of Liangzhou, and it is said that its troops are strong, and for a while Cao Cao and Jiangdong Sun were panicked. You don't know that in the imperial court, I felt amused when I saw the powerful indignation of the Cao clan against the eldest brother. I really hope that the eldest brother can quickly raise troops to fight Cao Cao, and then our family of three can be completely liberated. After Liu Xie finished speaking, he couldn't help but fantasize.

Seeing this scene, Dong Guifei's heart was like a knife cut, the most authoritative son of heaven in today's Han Dynasty actually fantasized about being free, which is simply a kind of irony and a big joke. Although he also fantasized about freedom as His Majesty, the words Cao Cao said kept floating in his ears like a wild ghost talisman, and he endured the grief and helplessness in his heart, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, will King Zhao really save us from this place of captivity?" ”

How do you know that after Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly said solemnly: "Ai Concubine, what do you mean by this, King Zhao is my sworn brother, and we have depended on each other since we were children, like brothers." I have been with my eldest brother since I was a child, and my eldest brother has always protected me from being bullied by anyone, and my eldest brother will never break his promise to me. ”

Concubine Dong Guifei continued: "Your Majesty, do you know about our Han Gaozu. ”

Liu Xie immediately patted his chest and said: "Han Gaozu is the founder of my Han Dynasty, and he has performed feats such as beheading the White Snake and revolting against Qin, who doesn't know the people of the Han family?" ”

Concubine Dong Guifei asked, "Then does Your Majesty remember the matter of Gaozu and Xiang Yu?" ”

Liu Xie replied: "Of course I remember that Gaozu endured humiliation and finally defeated the overlord Xiang Yu and established the foundation of my Han family. ”

"In Concubine Dong's eyes, His Majesty at this time is just like the overlord Xiang Yu back then, and King Zhao is on the road of Gaozu, I'm worried about ......" Concubine Dong secretly squinted at Liu Xie's face after speaking, only to see that Liu Xie's originally ruddy face with excitement instantly turned pale and cold.

It was not that Cao Cao's people had not said these words by Liu Xie's side before, but in Liu Xie's eyes, it was Cao Cao's people after all, and he had enough reason to believe that those people deliberately set up a ruse to separate his relationship and feelings with his eldest brother Zhao Yu. But now that even his beloved concubine Dong Guifei said this, Liu Xie had to have some wonderful fantasies in his heart, "Even you think so, the eldest brother will really covet my throne of the Han River?" ”

Regarding Liu Xie's words, Dong Guifei felt a lot of unbearable feelings, but still said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, there is a man who doesn't like power today, not to mention that King Zhao has won the support of many people in the world in his life. Just ask Your Majesty who is trapped in the palace all day long, how many people in the world have seen Your Majesty's dignity, and how many people have enjoyed Your Majesty's grace. Although this is the world of the Han family, His Majesty is the Majesty of the Han family, and the people are the people of the Han family, presumably the people of this world know far more about King Zhao than His Majesty. But if King Zhao is given a chance, I am afraid that King Zhao will overthrow His Majesty's dynasty and establish himself as the king. ”

Seeing the color and forgetting the situation, doesn't Liu Xie know, "The eldest brother wants to be the king and the hegemon?" Concubine Dong, what do you think I should do? ”

"Although Your Majesty and I are trapped in the land of Cao Cao in Xuchang, Cao Cao still serves His Majesty as His Majesty, if Cao Cao wants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, I am afraid that he will already do it as early as when he rescues His Majesty into Xuchang, or Cao Cao can also set up a new monarch like Dong Zhuo to be a loyal puppet. In addition, I have also heard that many of the sons under Cao Cao's knees want Cao Cao to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, but they were all blocked by Cao Cao, and they continue to develop and create, and strengthen the prestige of our Han Dynasty. In my opinion, Cao Cao is more like His Royal Highness's mentor, and he does not hesitate to be the enemy of the princes of the world in order to protect His Majesty's country, which is really admirable. After Dong Guifei finished speaking, she turned her face away, didn't look at Liu Xie's face, and left Liu Xie alone to think quietly.

Yes, Liu Xie is not a fool, he also traveled from the 21st century to possess the puppet emperor of the late Han Dynasty, and he is also familiar with part of the history of the Three Kingdoms in the 21st century. Although Liu Xie was imprisoned as a puppet by Cao Cao, Cao Cao has always served the emperor of the Han Dynasty well, and married his three daughters to Liu Xie. But if it is true as everyone said, his eldest brother Zhao Yu wants to overthrow the Han dynasty and establish himself as the king, so that his imperial position will not be guaranteed, and his life will also face a serious threat.

Liu Xie suddenly seemed to understand something, and immediately ordered the subordinates outside: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person." ”

"Your Majesty, are you going to..."

I saw Liu Xie expressionless and said: "For the sake of my Han emperor, there are some things, and it's time to confess to the prime minister." ”

In the Xuchang Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers, the Cao family, Xun You, Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others were all in the seats, and they seemed to be discussing something important when they got together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hebei Zhao Yu's side is growing stronger and stronger, if we continue to insist on development, I am afraid that in a few years we will be unable to resist the other party's sharp edge, what solution do you have?" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stared at Chong Wenchen, as if expecting the answer he wanted.

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Cheng Yu continued: "Back to the lord, the minister thinks that Zhao Yu's rapid development is not something that our army can do alone, and he can use the power of other princes to join forces to break it." ”

Liu Ye also echoed: "Zhao Yu is cunning, and his training strategy is also quite strange, and the soldiers cast are all bears and tigers, and if you want to break it, you must use the strength of the whole country to fight with it." Despite this, there may not be much chance of victory, the stalemate will only drag down our army, the minister thinks that we should tie up the foreign fan in the north, hand over the Jiangdong Sun clan in the south, divide the troops to surround it together, and have a slight chance of winning by encroaching on the army. ”

Seeing that several Wenchen were so cautious about the affairs of the enemy soldier Zhao Yu, Cao Jiang and the others, who were born as military generals, suddenly became unhappy and said: "Hmph, why should Zhao Yu be so bothered, the lord only needs to send 10,000 elite soldiers to each of us, and we will definitely be able to take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack in one fell swoop." ”

Cao Cao's confidant Sima Yi came out and said: "General, don't be so impatient, Zhao Yu is different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Ma Teng, and it is absolutely undesirable to attack in a hurry." ”

"Lord, someone is coming to see..."Just as the ministers were discussing, suddenly a soldier outside came to report.

Cao Cao suddenly said with a displeased face: "We are waiting for an important military plane to be held, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb it, don't you want to know the law and break the law?" ”

When the sergeant heard this, he hurriedly reported nervously: "The lord forgives the sin, but the person who came outside is the Son of Heaven, the small... The little one didn't dare to delay, so he violated the lord's order? ”

"The Son of Heaven is coming?" As soon as the sergeant's voice fell, everyone all hung up a look of surprise, since the Son of Heaven welcomed Xuchang for several years, the Son of Heaven has always lived in peace with the army on the surface, but in private he hated Cao Cao and hated the entire Cao army. This time, the Son of Heaven was able to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion in person for the first time, which can be said to be unexpected.

Even Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard that the Son of Heaven was coming, and then laughed, "Haha, I have been at a loss to think about the strategy of winning Zhao Yu for a long time, but this time the decisive strategy took the initiative to come to my Cao family's mansion, it seems that God wants to help my Cao family destroy Zhao." ”

"What do you mean by this?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wait for you to step back first, let me see what the Son of Heaven is doing this time?" Seeing Cao Cao's order, everyone retreated and left, Cao Cao reorganized his mind, smiled and walked towards the room where the Son of Heaven was resting, and saw Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, sitting quietly and waiting.

"The prime minister has seen Your Majesty." Cao Cao said as he greeted him.
