Chapter 175: Civil Strife (1)
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 troops and horses into Beijing, and then wait for Du Chen and Cao Cao to kill both defeats, Uncle Huang, you will lead the army to kill again, 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 consciousness to do 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, compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei in front of him is indeed weak.
The weaker the person, the easier it is to control. Therefore, for the dedication of the emperor, 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 contained in this jade belt was written in blood by me and used to crusade against Cao Cao, so I also hope that the imperial uncle can take this edict out of the palace." ”
These words of the emperor. But it gave Liu Bei a problem. Now that the palace is heavily guarded, Liu Bei knows it all from the way in alone. 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, the consequences of the next can be imagined.
Seeing Liu Bei hesitate. Emperor Xian hurriedly said: "I hope that Uncle Huang will help me, otherwise I might as well be killed by a head-butt." After speaking, Emperor Xian turned his head and rushed towards a pillar.
But fortunately, Dong Cheng's hand was quick, and he grabbed Emperor Xian and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't do stupid things!" ”
Dong Cheng's expression of compassion made Emperor Xian's feelings steady.
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 and say: "Your Majesty think twice before acting, this matter will be taken over by Weichen." You must know that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and Your Majesty will not be able to mention life and death at all in the future. ”
Hearing that Liu Bei finally agreed to himself, the love of the emperor suddenly rose. Then, he broke free from Dong Cheng's embrace and said softly to Liu Bei: "Thank you Uncle Huang for living in the Han world, and remember Uncle Huang's great kindness." And Uncle Huang, you can rest assured. I will never do such a stupid thing again. Seeing Emperor Xian say this, Liu Bei could only frown helplessly. But I'm already on a thief ship. Then we have to let it go on like this. Otherwise, you will definitely be accused of treachery.
He has nothing to use, and the only reputation he has, Liu Bei will definitely not make people stink it. Therefore, for the maintenance of his reputation, Liu Bei must definitely do his best. No one will notice anything.
Taking the jade belt in Emperor Xian's hand, Liu Bei untied the original Jade Emperor, and then buckled the jade belt handed to him by Emperor Xian on his waist.
"This matter needs to be as soon as possible, otherwise if Cao Cao finds out, then we may lose our lives." Seeing that Liu Bei finally took the bait. Dong Cheng hurriedly spoke. He was very afraid to mention himself again, so now he had to cut through the mess quickly.
Liu Bei glanced at Dong Cheng, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. But soon, Liu Bei restrained his disgust. For changing his face, Liu Bei is perfect, as long as he wants to, he can instantly change the appearance to match the scene.
After Dong Cheng finished speaking, Emperor Xian on the side also spoke: "What the national lord said is not bad at all, now that the palace is so tightly guarded, this is suspicious, so the emperor still leaves the palace first." As long as you leave the palace, Uncle Huang, it will be a bird that has broken out of the cage, and the world is at your disposal. ”
Liu Bei also felt that what the two of them said was good, so he waved his hand and said to Emperor Xian: "What the Holy Lord said is true, since this is the case, then Bei will retire first." After speaking, Liu Bei turned around and walked out.
Looking at Liu Bei's back, Dong Cheng showed a relieved smile. Now that there is Liu Bei, a substitute for the dead, then this matter will definitely not have any inevitable connection with him, after all, Liu Bei is not only the emperor's uncle, but also the minister of the court.
Liu Bei left the emperor's dormitory, and suddenly became a little cautious. Wiping his belt slightly, Liu Bei showed a calm expression.
This is a crucial time. If there is really anything wrong, then my little life will be explained here.
Seeing Liu Bei coming out of Emperor Xian's bedroom, several soldiers walked towards Liu Bei.
Looking at the few soldiers walking towards him, Liu Bei paused. Then, he took a deep breath, and then strode towards a few soldiers.
Not to mention, this jade belt dedicated to the emperor is still very effective. Several soldiers inspected Liu Bei in such detail, but they were stunned that they did not find the edict sandwiched in the jade belt. Of course, Liu Bei is the happiest about this, after all, he doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore.
But before Liu Bei's happy mood passed, Liu Bei saw a person he didn't want to see the most, and that person was Cao Cao, who was surrounded by people in the center.
After Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, he immediately showed a kind smile, and then heard Cao Cao speak: "Xuande, I didn't expect to meet you here today, why did you enter the palace to face the saint today?" ”
looked at Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's heart that had just been put down was lifted again. Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, he can not deceive the past easily. If Cao Cao was really deceived, how powerful would this person's ability be.
"It's just a little personal matter, but it's you, the prime minister, why didn't you sit in the prime minister's mansion. You know, Taiwei Du is accumulating strength and preparing for bad intentions. Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said. The reason why he said Du Chen was that he hoped that Cao Cao would draw attention to Du Chen, and at the same time, he could also use this to observe whether the relationship between Du Chen and Cao Cao was really irreconcilable.
Liu Bei stared at Cao Cao tightly, and just when he said that he had bad intentions, Cao Cao's expression revealed a faint killing intent. Although this trace of killing intent was very light, Liu Bei was still very keenly aware of it.
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Liu Bei overturned his previous inference. Seeing that Du Chen was mentioned, Cao Cao naturally revealed his murderous intent, which shows that Cao Cao really had murderous intentions towards Du Chen, and this matter would never be a conspiracy between Du Chen and Cao Cao.
But what Liu Bei didn't know was that he was observing Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was not observing him. After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei lead the topic to Du Chen, Cao Cao knew what Liu Bei's idea was, so he naturally wanted to act for Liu Bei.
"Du Chen is just a villain who can't do anything, and this prime minister has his own way to deal with him." Cao Cao said with a sinister face. Subsequently, Cao Cao restrained the evil aura on his face, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, your jade belt is so beautiful, you really envy others!" ”
Hearing the word jade belt, Liu Bei suddenly trembled. Cao Cao said that it was not good, but he only wanted to praise his jade belt, but he knew what was contained in this jade belt. If Cao Cao knew, then what should he do.
Liu Bei's heart kept tumbling, because he didn't know why Cao Cao suddenly said this. After all, there are things related to life hidden in the jade belt, so any wind and grass will make Liu Bei worried.
However, this time Liu Bei had some misunderstandings, and Cao Cao's original intention was to praise Liu Bei's jade belt. But when Cao Cao saw Liu Bei showing such a huge reaction because of this jade belt, Cao Cao knew that there must be a mystery in this jade belt. There must be an ulterior secret hidden in this.
Cao Cao was somewhat glad about this, but he laughed at Liu Bei's ignorance in his heart. You must know that Liu Bei doesn't have anything outstanding on his body, but the jade belt on his body is very eye-catching.
This is definitely the negligence of Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng, Liu Bei is dressed plainly, and the jade belt prepared by Emperor Xian is a royal item, which is naturally very luxurious. Such a luxurious item is used on Liu Bei's unpretentious body, which is naturally very eye-catching.
When Liu Bei was still thinking about how to solve the problem of the jade belt, Cao Cao said: "As soon as I look at the craftsmanship of the jade belt around Xuande's waist, I know that this jade belt is a royal item, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, so it must be a gift from the Holy Lord." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei was cold at first, and then hurriedly nodded and said, "Let the prime minister smile, this jade belt is exactly what His Majesty has rewarded." After speaking, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Cao said this, obviously he didn't know that the jade belt contained the edict.
"Xuande's jade belt is very fond of it, I don't know if Xuande can cut his love and give this jade belt to Cao?" Cao Cao said with a smile. Since he knew the mystery of the jade belt, Cao Cao naturally couldn't let the jade belt flow out. (To be continued......)
