Chapter 164: Conspiracy

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period was a poor man, although he was born in the emperor's family, he did not enjoy the blessings that the emperor should enjoy. In addition to being displaced, it is at the mercy of others. Even though there are some ministers who are loyal to them, many of them are powerless.

Seeing that Du Chen finally agreed, Emperor Xian showed a satisfied smile. But then, Emperor Xian didn't know how to reward Du Chen. Because Du Chen was already an official lieutenant at this time, no one in the entire court, except for himself and Cao Cao, was higher than Du Chen's official position.

Seeing Emperor Xian's expression, Du Chen naturally knew what problems Emperor Xian had encountered. Then, Du Chen opened his mouth and said: "Holy Lord, the minister has nothing else to ask for, but there is one more thing I hope Your Majesty can promise me." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xian was immediately overjoyed. Du Chen has something to ask for himself, if he does this well, he will definitely make Du Chen look at him differently, and then put himself under his command, which will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"Hehe, Du Aiqing said that it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do this well." However, after saying this, Emperor Xian showed a helpless expression. He is just a puppet of Cao Cao, and if he wants to do something, he still needs Cao Cao's nod and agree.

And Du Chen is Cao Cao's henchman, if Du Chen has anything, he will definitely be the first to ask Cao Cao for help. Obviously, Cao Cao didn't have a way to help Du Chen, so Du Chen came to ask for himself.

Cao Cao didn't have a way to help Du Chen complete it, so what virtue could he have to help Du Chen?

"There is no need for the Holy One, what the minister asks for is just a small matter. The saint may not know that the minister is a native of Langxie Dongwu County under the rule of Xuzhou. Therefore, I hope that the Holy Lord will canonize Langxie County with me. Du Chen said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Emperor Xian was stunned. Obviously, Du Chen's request was unexpectedly simple. Such a simple request. Don't say it's yourself, even if Du Chen mentions it to Cao Cao, it can obviously be achieved easily.

Cao Cao is the Marquis of Du Chen, so he may not agree. Obviously, the answer to this is no. Cao Cao is the Marquis of Du Chen, and he can only agree.

Come to think of it. Emperor Xian's expression is elusive. However, in this regard, Emperor Xian can only acquiesce. Du Chen is still loyal to Cao Cao, at this time Du Chen and Cao Cao are estimated to have reached a consensus, and now Du Chen is just selling his favor.

"Okay, I canonized you as the Marquis of Lang Evil to commend you for your outstanding merits." Emperor Xian nodded. Since he knew that Du Chen was selling his favor, even if he was unwilling to offer the emperor, it could only be like this.

"Since this is the case, the minister will retire first." The emperor finished speaking. Du Chen spoke.

And Emperor Xian frowned, for Du Chen, Emperor Xian was very disappointed. Because he didn't expect that Du Chen would be so ruthless, he just talked to himself about the reward, and as soon as he agreed at this moment, Du Chen immediately retreated.

"Could it be that I am a jackal, a tiger and a leopard? Or is it a devil who eats people? Why is Taiwei Du so avoidant? Emperor Xian smiled bitterly. Even though Du Chen was like this, Emperor Xian still did not lose interest in him. After all, there really isn't anyone up and down to help you.

Xun Yu under Cao Cao. is a loyal person, but it is difficult for a single Xun Yu to achieve great things. In comparison, Xun Yu is just a civil official, and he is not in charge of the army. However, Du Chen, who has the most elite army of the Cao army in his hands, the Golden Viper Force, and the White Tiger Battalion is comparable to Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Righteous Servant. The Vermilion Bird Battalion is comparable to Sun Quan's Imperial Forest Army, and the Xuanwu Battalion is comparable to Yuan Shao's Euphorbia! In this chaotic world, soldiers are especially important.

"Your Majesty, this is where you speak, but the minister is busy with official business, and he really can't delay the time." Du Chen was stunned for a moment. Then he hurriedly explained. In fact, in essence, Du Chen is not as close as Emperor Xian, after all, Du Chen is a captain, but he and Cao Cao are the main ministers.

As the saying goes, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, Du Chen's qiē is almost all given by Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao regards himself as a brother, and he has nothing to do with himself, Cao Cao treats himself like this, how can he do something against Cao Cao.

For Du Chen's perfunctory words, Emperor Xian was naturally quite dissatisfied. Up and down Xuchang, no one knows who doesn't know, he is too lieutenant Du Chen, and he is the most leisurely person in the world. Even his puppet emperor still has to go to the court every day to discuss matters, but he Du Chen doesn't have to go to the court at all. So Du Chen said that he was busy with official business, which was nonsense.

"No matter how busy Captain Du Chen is, I'm afraid that he can spare a meal." Emperor Xian squinted at Du Chen and said.

Seeing that Emperor Xian insisted on this, Du Chen didn't say anything. It is clear that the idea of offering the emperor has been decided. That's if he comes up with any reason to shirk, he also has a reason to refute himself. And the purpose of offering the emperor is also very simple, that is, he hopes to use this to separate the relationship between Cao Cao and himself.

However, for the clumsy plan of offering the emperor, Du Chen couldn't help grinning in his heart. Who is Cao Cao, although he is suspicious by nature, he will definitely not doubt himself because of these little things. Therefore, the small conspiracy of offering the emperor will definitely not be hidden from Cao Cao.

However, this is Cao Cao's magnanimity to his subordinates, if he is replaced by a narrow-minded person like Yuan Shao, then the result is really two possibilities.

"Since the saint has such a good intention, the minister will be disrespectful." Since he knew that there was no way to make a decision, Du Chen could only nod and agree. However, while agreeing to offer the emperor, Du Chen began to calculate Liu Bei in his heart.

Emperor Xian has changed so much, and he must have an inseparable relationship with Uncle Liu. After all, Emperor Xian has been cold to himself for a long time, and today Emperor Xian is suddenly so enthusiastic, there must be a demon among them.

This Liu Bei is really a scourge, wherever he goes, he will bring bad luck wherever he goes. This became Uncle Liu Huang, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself a headache, and this revenge must not be avenged.

Seeing that Du Chen agreed, Emperor Xian was naturally very happy. Then, he summoned the little eunuch waiting outside the door, and then asked him to make arrangements.

Although the whole banquet was only Du Chen and Emperor Xian, the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very cheerful. Although Du Chen and Emperor Xian are not very mature, this does not affect the communication between the two.

Moreover, what made Du Chen excited was that the things that the emperor ate were indeed better than his own things. Even though the cook in his backyard is also first-class, he must be a little short of this imperial banquet.

After eating the banquet, Du Chen put forward the meaning of leaving here. This time, Emperor Xian did not stop Du Chen, but asked him to do his best to deal with political affairs.

After leaving the palace, Du Chen returned to the Taiwei Mansion. Of course, Du Chen did not go directly back to his Taiwei Mansion, but went to Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion. Du Chen's purpose in coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to explain to Cao Cao. Although, Du Chen believed in Cao Cao very much, thinking that he would not doubt himself. But there are some things that are best explained straightforwardly.

After all, now that he and Cao Cao have a strong brotherhood, Du Chen doesn't want the relationship between the two to be somewhat troubled because of this. And Du Chen believes that even if he doesn't say some things, Cao Cao will be clear, after all, Xuchang is Cao Cao's territory, and there is something to hide from his eyes.

When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao Cheng sat calmly in the study and looked at the bamboo slips. After Du Chen entered the study, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

Looking up at Du Chen, Cao Cao said, "Si Lang is here." Cao Cao's tone was very flat, but these only four words were true. Obviously, Cao Cao knew that Du Chen must come back to find him.

In this regard, Du Chen's table is very bland. In his opinion, it was the right thing to do. In his own nest, if there is anything else that can hide from Cao Cao's eyeballs, then Cao Cao's prime minister will really do it.

"No, no, the emperor invited me into the palace for such a big thing, if I don't tell the prime minister, I will have trouble sleeping." Du Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Du Chen's slightly scoundrel expression, Cao Cao also shook his head helplessly. However, for Du Chen's honesty, Cao Cao also likes it from the bottom of his heart. (To be continued......)
