As soon as the sky was bright, Lu Rui got up from the bed, this is the first time that Lu Rui has a strong sense of getting up since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the vigilance in his heart has been reminding himself that today is a battle of life and death.

"Husband, be careful!" Cao Jie alone helped Lu Rui put on armor in the room, and today Lu Rui wants to go to court with a sword.

"Yes!" Lu Rui nodded, took his sword, and left the bedroom. Coming to the door, Dian Wei and Dian Man were already ready to go, waiting for Lu Rui with three hundred guards.

"Yuan Zhi?"

"Master Hou!"

"Are General Cao and General Gao ready?" Just in case, Lu Rui asked Cao Xing and Gao Shun to prepare for the evacuation of Xudu with the old department and some of Lu Rui's guards, and as long as there was a change in the imperial court, he would immediately lead the elite to rush out of Xudu and retreat to Qiaoxian.

"Back to the Hou Ye, everything is ready. If the situation changes, we will immediately go to the south gate to join Zhang Gongzi's troops and break through from the south gate. ”

"Okay, Xu Shu, the house will be handed over to you." Handing over his family to Xu Shu, Lu Rui was very relieved.

"Please rest assured, I will ensure the safety of Hou Ye's family in the future."

Lu Rui nodded, and took Dian Wei and Dian Man to the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Cao Ren also took his guards to wait for Lu Rui here early.

"Uncle!"

"Extraordinary?"

"Uncle, everything in the mansion is settled, and you and I will meet Your Majesty today." The Taishou who supported Liu Xie besieged the city, Lu Rui and Cao Ren discussed, and today the two entered the palace to meet Liu Xie, and the rest of the Cao family's generals stayed in the city to resist foreign troops to prevent the Cao family's generals from killing Liu Xie because of their emotions. After all, the charge of killing the monarch cannot be borne by the Cao family.

"Good. Today we will go to see Your Majesty. Let's see if he remembers the kindness of our Cao family! Cao Ren waved his long sleeves, held the sword and entered the palace with Lu Rui.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that many Taishou stationed in various places have gathered in Xudu with troops recently, is it really true?" As soon as Liu Xie came to the court, he began to observe the courtiers, and Cao Cao's diehards all wore armor, and it seemed that they had decided to fight to the death with the army that supported him. As for most of the officials who supported Cao Cao, they did not go to court and decided to maintain a neutral attitude.

"Back to Your Majesty. These Taishou did not bring troops to Xudu for no reason, but for the sake of my Han foundation. Wang Yushi was the first to stand up and echo Liu Xie.

"Oh? Wang Yushi, those Taishou are for my big man? ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty's Taishou heard that the Prime Minister was assassinated, the pillar of the court has been lost, Your Majesty has been in power for many years, and now the Prime Minister is recuperating in the palace, and there is no decisive person in the court. I want to ask Your Majesty to depose the prime minister and personally lead the government! "Wang Yushi said it soundingly. There is no shyness at all.

Hey, mistaken country, Your Majesty misled the country! As soon as Yang Biao heard the words of Wang Yushi, he knew that it was instructed by Liu Xie, and the only people of the Cao family today who were Lu Rui and Cao Ren went to court was a good signal, and the Cao family did not want to leave a bad reputation, but Liu Xie was aggressive, if it was spread out, the generals of the Cao army in the city?

"Your Majesty, the words of the king's imperial history are inappropriate, although the prime minister was assassinated and cannot ignore the dynasty, but the prime minister is the pillar of the imperial court, how can he be abolished lightly? In the past, the Lu family was in turmoil, and it all relied on Prime Minister Chen Ping to strategize to support my Han foundation, didn't Wang Yushi know about this? Yang Biao immediately stood up against Wang Yushi, even if he offended Liu Xie, he had to do it himself, which was the responsibility of a loyal minister of the Liu family.

"What Lord Yang said is biased, and the lower officials think." Then Yang Biao and Wang Yushi fought in the court, Liu Xie and the ministers listened to the argument between the two and did not make any statement, Liu Xie and Cao both were waiting for news outside the city.

On the tower of Xudu City, Cao Ang took Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhen to guard the city gate, and now there are several military horses under Xudu City, and they are ready to attack the city at any time.

"Big brother, it looks like they have tens of thousands of people." Cao Zhen looked at the bottom of the city tower, and glanced at Cao Ang worriedly, the defenders in the city of Xu Capital were more than 10,000, and there were no defensive weapons, except for bows and arrows, as the capital, although the Cao clan had a garrison, it was not like the border city defense.

"Brother Pi, Brother Zhang, True Brother, we each bring a thousand soldiers to guard the four gates, if one of them is broken, quickly notify the uncle, and at the same time cover the evacuation of the Cao family." Seeing that the situation was critical, Cao Ang hurriedly gave an order to the three of them, if Xu Du was broken, most of the Cao family's foundation would be ruined, and he would never retreat as a last resort.

"Yes, brother!"

"Wang Taishou, it seems that the army of Xu Du wants to defend the city to the death, hmph, it's just looking for death!" Seeing the layout on the upper floor of Xudu City, Zhao Taishou, who rushed from Yuzhou, knew that Xudu had insufficient bows and arrows, and there were no heavy weapons for defense.

"Zhao Taishou, Cao Cao was suddenly attacked, if the princes from all walks of life got the news, they would definitely send troops, now the Cao family wants to send a large number of soldiers to guard the border, of course Xu Du's defense is empty, today is the time for you and me to make contributions, enter the city, we are the people who support the Han Dynasty, glory and wealth, and enjoy inexhaustible!" Wang Taishou smiled, he had been suppressed by Cao Cao for a long time, and today he finally had a bright day.

"Wang Taishou, let's attack the city!"

"Good! Don't give Cao Jun a chance to breathe, attack! ”

"Report! Your Majesty, the Taishou outside the city shouted that the prime minister had been abolished and the defenders of Xu Du had been fighting, and General Cao Ang was leading people to resist. Yang Biao and Wang Yushi were still arguing, and a captain came to report that the two armies outside the city had already started a war.

"Ahh As soon as the news reached the court, the ministers began to talk about it, and the army pressed the border, which was something that had not been encountered for a long time.

"Your Majesty's military situation is urgent, please allow Your Majesty to speak outside the city." Most of the people in the court supported Liu Xie, and when they saw that there was an army attacking, they became even more ambitious, and they began to make suggestions to Liu Xie. The ministers who supported the Cao family also stood up to fight back, and for a while, the imperial court was like a vegetable market, chirping and noisy.

Cao Ren and Lu Rui have always remained silent, the chirping of the ministers is nothing to the Cao family, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Xu Du Cao's is often discussed by others, as long as Liu Xie does not express his position, Cao and Liu Xie still have room for negotiation.

"Enough! Don't make any noise, do you still take me seriously? Liu Xie suddenly roared and threw a piece of Xiyu on the ground. It's really enjoyable, this is the authority of the real emperor, Liu Xie roared, his heart suddenly relaxed, he hadn't roared like this for a long time, usually when Cao Cao was in the court, he was like a marionette, Cao Cao said a word, he answered a word, and even anger was the prime minister rather than his own power.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Wang Yushi took the lead in pleading with Liu Xie, and most of the rest of the ministers also pleaded with Liu Xie.

"The prime minister is the pillar of the country, and it cannot be easily abolished, Prime Minister Cao can't handle the government now, I decided to take back the power of the prime minister, and the position of prime minister will remain until Prime Minister Cao wakes up." Liu Xie finally said his decision, the position of prime minister was retained, and the honor of the Cao family was also retained, but he wanted to take back the power of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Yushi saw that Liu Xie had made a decision, and hurriedly agreed, and Liu Xie was finally going to oppose the Cao family.

"Your Majesty?" Yang Biao didn't expect Liu Association to make such a decision, and shook his head, Liu Xie is showing that he is opposed to the Cao family, and the Han is afraid that he will fall into turmoil again.

"Your Majesty, the minister is unwell and wants to go back to the house to rest!" Cao Ren and Lu Rui saw that Liu Xie had made a decision, and the two glanced at each other, since Liu Xie insisted on this, the Cao family had to make the final preparations, and if they could hold Xu Capital, they would put Liu Xie under house arrest, and if they couldn't keep it, they would withdraw to Qian County.

"Oh? Since the two of them are unwell, I will play it, and the two of them will go back to their homes to rest. Liu Xie smiled in his heart, and sure enough, as expected, if he said that he was opposed to the Cao family, Cao Ren and Lu Rui would definitely leave the court to prepare for the next step.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Ren and Lu Rui glanced at each other and left the court.

"Bastard!" Cao Chang pulled out a long arrow that had hit his left arm, tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped the wound, and came to Cao Ang's east gate.

"Brother, we can't stop it, the enemy's attack is too fierce." Cao Zhang retreated to the south gate with his pro-army, and his north gate was almost unstoppable.

Cao Zhen and Cao Pi also brought the Cao family's family to the south gate, the east gate had been breached, and part of the Cao army was engaged in street battles with the enemy.

"Come on, go and inform your uncle and brother Rui, Xu can't hold on, we have to retreat to Qian County." Cao Ang waved his hand helplessly, is the foundation of the Cao family really over like this? (To be continued......)
