Chapter 8: Crisis in Calm
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Late at night, in the Xudu Palace, Liu Xie bathed in the bath, and quietly came to Liu Xie's side, which was the only place where the two could talk.
"No courtesy, one heart, we lost again, Cao Cao won again!" Liu Xie sighed helplessly, military power is a fist in troubled times, without military power, no matter how good the wisdom is, it is forced to succumb.
"With one heart, without military power, we can't move an inch!"
"Your Majesty is wise, we really can't do anything without military power." Yixin arched his hand and replied to Liu Xie, the result of Liu Xie's failure was expected by Yixin, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to lose so badly, he originally thought that Cao Cao would compromise on the election of officials, but he didn't expect that it would strengthen Cao Cao's power.
Nine products in the positive system? It seems that I underestimate Lu Rui, who is about the same age as the second brother, and my resourcefulness is probably still above the second brother!
"Yixin, do you have a good plan to get me back from the army?" Liu Xie looked at Yixin, and his eyes showed a burning desire.
"Your Majesty, we still can't be in a hurry about the military power, with our current situation, we can only use the troops of the princes from all walks of life, if Your Majesty wants to master the military power, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." Yixin sneered in his heart, although Liu Xie is a smart emperor, he is still inexperienced, and if he controls the military power under Cao Cao's nose, isn't it a plot with the tiger?
"But if I don't have the right to fight, how can I fight against Cao Cao?" Liu Xie showed a puzzled expression, he has no military power, every time he encounters a major event, as long as Cao Cao is a soldier, he is definitely a loser.
"Your Majesty, the righteousness of the imperial court and the prestige of the Han Emperor are Your Majesty's magic weapons. Only by firmly grasping these two points can His Majesty slowly eat away at Cao Cao's strength. Finally take its place. ”
"Instead? I can really replace Cao Cao. Back in charge of the Great Han? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty can replace Cao Cao, but if Your Majesty doesn't try, Your Majesty will have no chance, and you will just be a puppet for the rest of your life."
"Good! What I say is reasonable, so what should I do next? Cao Cao has already taken the power of electing officials into his own hands, how can I fight back? Liu Xie threw the towel away and smashed it on the hanger next to him. The dragon robe snapped and fell beside the two.
"Your Majesty, this bamboo slip?" A bamboo slip rolled out of Liu Xie's dragon robe, and Liu Xie carried it with him, which must be an important bamboo slip.
"Hmph, this is Cao Cao's bamboo slips, what's there to see?" Liu Xie threw away the bamboo slips, which was a copy of the bamboo slips on Cao Cao's table, and Liu Xie accidentally brought them into the bath.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, we have to read Cao Cao's expression even more, and we have to study it carefully. I'm afraid Cao Cao's shortcomings will be in these expressions. "I picked up the money and wiped it. Read it carefully.
After Cao Cao became prime minister, his ancestors must also be stained, especially Cao Teng still has merit for the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has served many emperors, and he has the merit of supporting the tombstone, and repairing the tombstone is also a matter of common sense.
"What can this statement expose Cao Cao's shortcomings?" Liu Xie shook his head, it was just a statement of repairing the tombstone for the ancestors, could it also expose Cao Cao's shortcomings?
"Your Majesty, you are wrong, repairing the tombstone is also an opportunity!" Ichshin suddenly thought of a clumsy plan, but it might work well.
"Opportunity? What chances? Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, it was just to repair some tombstones, what chance was there?
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's repair of the tombstone for the ancestors of the court will definitely involve the repair of the underground palace, and the last entrance door of the underground palace will be closed by the grandson." Yixin smiled, this might be an opportunity.
"The door to the entrance?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, he was the emperor, and he was only familiar with folk customs, but he had no actual experience, and he couldn't think of a single-minded plan.
"Your Majesty, Cao Teng was only a eunuch when he died, the Cao family had not yet risen, and Cao Teng was personally incorruptible, so the tombstone was built very simply. is not worthy of Cao Teng's official position at all, and now, even less worthy of Cao Teng's identity, Cao Cao's expression has already requested to expand Cao Teng's underground palace, we can just push the boat down the river, so that Cao Cao has no return. Yixin arched his hand and replied to Liu Xie, with a sinister smile on his face.
"Ichishin, do you mean?" Liu Xie suddenly thought of something, and then made a posture of wiping his neck with his hands.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
When I saw this statement, I suddenly had a plan, which sounded ridiculous, but it was unexpected and had a great success rate.
The Han Dynasty attached great importance to tombs, especially luxurious tombs, as evidenced by the golden jade clothes. People with status in the Han Dynasty paid attention to the style of the tombstone, compared with each other, and showed the identity of the family. Cao Teng was a eunuch, but he was also a loyal and honest eunuch, and he had a good reputation among his ministers. Chen Fan was promoted by Cao Teng, and the party members had a lot of feelings for Cao Teng, which was also a reason why Cao Cao was able to control the government, and the ministers at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty basically received Cao Teng's favor.
Cao Teng himself is very honest and frugal in life, and his tombstone is only built according to the local households, and the scale is much worse than that of the court ministers, so Cao Cao is now in power, so he naturally has to repair his grandfather's tomb well to fulfill his filial piety.
The Han Dynasty elected officials with filial piety, and Cao Cao repaired the tomb for his grandfather and will personally close the last gate of the underground palace for his grandfather, and then there will be only Cao Cao in the secret room of the front hall of the Xuanmen or Cao Song and Cao Cao, and then it will be the best time to assassinate Cao Cao.
"Yixin, can this succeed?" Liu Xie listened to Yixin's suggestion and felt that although it was unexpected, the success rate was not very high.
"Your Majesty, judging from one mind, the success rate of this plan is quite high."
"Your Majesty, the so-called entrance door is the barrier of the tomb, it is the door of death, Cao Cao closed the door for Cao Teng, he must not carry a sharp blade, those who accompany the funeral are resentful, as long as we arrange the killer in it and close the door, even if the Cao family outside the door wants to save it, I am afraid there is no chance." Yixin didn't want to kill Cao Cao, but wanted to trap Cao Cao in the tomb.
"Your Majesty, don't forget, the first Xuanmen will place white qi, and Cao Cao will have his life when the time comes?" Yixin smiled and reminded Liu Xie.
"Good! It sounds ridiculous, but I think I can give it a try. Liu Xie finally understood that he was going to kill Cao Cao with poison gas.
"Yixin, how will this matter be implemented?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter will be handled by Yixin, and Yixin will definitely do his best to eliminate harm for His Majesty and return to the throne."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Liu Xie wiped his face with a hand towel and walked out of the bath.
On the second day, Liu Xie gave a reply to Cao Cao's expression, Cao Teng had made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty, and his tombstone and underground palace were thrifty and not worthy of his identity, and the imperial court would spend a lot of money to rebuild and repair it. Cao Cao didn't react after receiving the expression, after all, this kind of matter is just a small matter compared to the major events of the imperial court, and it is an internal matter of the Cao family. Cao Cao didn't think much about it, so he handed it over to the Ding family to deal with.
Since the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was put on the table, Lu Rui has also been busy, after all, this is what he proposed on the table, and some specific details naturally have to be perfected by himself, and the usually lazy Lu Rui can only do it hard, who called this Lu Rui himself proposed?
"Master Hou, Lord Yang Biao Yang is out asking to see you, I don't know Master Hou?" Lu Rui was dealing with the details of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, Xu Shu came to report, and Yang Biao came to his house.
Yang Biao? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, since Cao Cao took power, Yang Biao has rarely come out, especially Liu Xie's several stupid actions made Yang Biao feel that there was no hope, and he has always lived in seclusion and rarely went out.
Lu Rui has a lot of guests in the house these days, all of them are here to ask for officials, Lu Rui's nine products in the positive system has the issue of grading grades, everyone wants to figure out how to assess the grade from Lu Rui, even if the grade is set, but also to seek a good yamen, otherwise there will be no oil and water, so Lu Rui has been a lot of people these days, people come and go, and even Lu Rui's treasury can't be loaded with gifts.
"Yuan Zhi, invite the boss to the side hall, and I'll go meet the boss!" Yang Biao must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he still has to meet Yang Biao.
"Yes, Master Hou!" Xu Shu arched his hand and retreated.
"The boss is coming, Rui is far away, please forgive the boss!" Lu Rui soon came to the side hall, Yang Biao's face was still very big, and he couldn't slack off.
"Master Hou is polite, the old man has nothing to do today, just to come and see Master Hou."
"Nothing to do?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, looked at the maid serving tea next to him, and suddenly understood.
"Someone will deposit the boss's gifts in the treasury, and you all should retreat." Lu Rui waved his hand and signaled that everyone could retreat.
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"Boss, I don't know why the boss came?" As soon as the maid retreated, Lu Rui asked Yang Biao, Yang Biao's purpose was definitely not to come and see herself.
"Master Hou, in fact, the old man came today to ask for an official position for the dog."
"The boss laughed, the boss is an old minister of the court, and he has made a lot of contributions to the court, and Brother Dezu's official position will definitely not be less." This old fox is still unwilling to tell the truth, and first wants to help his son seek some benefits
"It all depends on the Hou Ye, the old man thanked the Hou Ye for the ancestors."
"Boss, you are tormenting Lu Rui, Lu Rui will definitely try his best to arrange it for Brother Dezu. Boss, are these trivial things to come here today? "Lu Rui is impatient, Yang Biao always talks around the corner, Lu Rui wants to listen to the truth.
"Hou Ye, in order to thank Hou Ye, Biao specially sent a piece of information, please Hou Ye smile."
"Intelligence?"
"Master Hou, there are masters in the palace again." Yang Biao smiled mysteriously and glanced at Lu Rui.
"Superior?" Lu Rui understood, and the master behind Liu Xie appeared again! (To be continued......)
