—189 A.D.——

Yanzhou, Kaifeng Palace.

Princess Wannian is holding a court meeting.

After she followed Cao Cao to rescue her younger brother from Luoyang, she thought that she would return to Jinan, Qingzhou, but she didn't expect to stop just after leaving the division, and after Cao Cao discussed with a group of ministers, she finally decided to "set the capital" in Kaifeng.

Although the princess is smart enough, she can't deduce the process and reason of the incident out of thin air when the conditions are insufficient, fortunately, Yuan Shao knows everything about her, and after a few inquiries, she will know the reason.

Qingzhou can't go back, because this time, in addition to his younger brother Liu Xie, Cao Cao left with almost all the "foreign courtiers" in Luoyang, and the Yuan family may not care about going to Qingzhou, but those families whose foundation is not strong enough and will be annexed if they are not careful are naturally reluctant to go to Cao Cao's base camp.

In the same way, Yuan's Yuzhou is not good, Yanzhou has not yet been stably controlled, and Xuzhou is still a mess at all

She and Liu Xie can't just designate which city as the "capital", Dong Zhuo's "fixed capital" of the ancient capital of the former dynasty Chang'an, there are sufficient reasons, Liu Bei not to mention, where there is an emperor, it is the capital, as for the Jiangdong Sun family, they take the jade seal of the country, and they can designate where to be the capital at will, as long as they stamp it - yes, of course, it is no secret that they took away the jade seal, it can be said that the world knows about it.

And Kaifeng, as the capital of the "Xia", which was older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties, at least surpassed them in terms of year, and there were ready-made palaces.

"Royal Brother Liu Xuande was named King Yan, what do you think?"

Liu Nai was wearing a red and green princess-style palace dress, and sat with Liu Xie on a high-backed wide chair that matched the status of the princess and the prince.

Although she was trying her best to show her majesty with a strained face, the second prince sitting next to her, looking around with big black eyes, ruined most of the atmosphere.

"Oh? This is a good thing, don't I have a brother-in-law of the prince? Xiahou Yuan, who was a little fat, replied, directly destroying the serious atmosphere.

"My stupid brother!" Xiahoudun, who was standing beside him, patted Xiahou Yuan's skull, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

"Ah, oh, yes." Xiahou Yuan reacted, "Although Liu Bei is the prince, and he and Zhang Fei are brothers, Zhang Fei cannot be called a prince. ”

Although the two brothers deliberately made a fool of themselves in the court, many ministers did not react, and it was clear that this was not the first time something similar had happened.

"Hmm...... So, Prime Minister, what is your opinion? Liu Nai hesitated, looked at Cao Cao, who was standing first among the officials, and asked.

Since the emperor is still alive, she can't risk the world's disapproval to be the emperor, in comparison, the woman's body is just a trivial matter.

The official name of this "court meeting" is not "court meeting", but "parliament".

Yes, now the four states of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Yu all belong to her, the lord of the "Ten Thousand Years Country", and Cao Cao has returned to his old business to be her "Minister of State", however, ordinary people with vision will call them "Your Majesty" and "Prime Minister" respectively.

"So, the minister." Cao Cao said.

As he said this, the court was instantly quiet, and the original subtle noise disappeared in an instant, and it seemed that after Cao Cao said this sentence, the real court meeting began.

"The first emperor has died." Cao Cao said.

The words directly made the lobby that had just been quiet boil again.

"What? That's impossible! Liu Nai stood up in surprise.

"According to reliable sources," Cao Cao glanced at the roof above the hall, "the emperor's behavior pattern has changed, he used to be able to rest for two days for every five days of taking the longevity pill, but since Liu Bei was named the king of Yan, he has been busy taking that strange longevity pill every day, and he has no time to pay attention to 'state affairs'." ”

"This ......," Liu Nai sat down again.

If life and death are in the hands of others, and the time of life is nothing but eating or sleeping, can such a state really be called "living"?

"So, what are we going to do?" Princess Wannian muttered.

"The minister is brave, please ask the princess to ascend the throne and inherit the throne." It was not Cao Cao, but Xun Yu of the Xun family.

"This ...... Don't ......" Liu Nai felt that his mind was in a mess.

"Even if the princess cares about the love of her parents and children, Dong Zhuo will not," Xun Yu continued: "After learning of this, the Liangzhou army will definitely take the lead in electing the eldest prince Liu Wei to the throne. ”

"Then, brother......" Liu Nai looked at Liu Xie beside him.

"Although the second prince can also compete with him, has the princess ever thought about where his disadvantages are?" Xun Yu continued.

Yes...... Losing the support of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao - there is no need to explain in detail, Liu Nai himself can figure out the original situation, if you put aside the use or game, only the empress who "married" Yuan Shao can be supported by these "foreign courtiers", they need a "supreme ruler" who can only rely on them for several generations, after all, the situation that may lead to the circulation of eunuchs, relatives, and courtiers to control the emperor can only be repeated here in Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo...... Hey~

“…… I see. Liu Nai closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he had already changed his self-title.

————

In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Nai, the princess of Wannian, announced that Liu Bei, the king of Yan, had murdered the Son of Heaven, and called him the king, in order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han family, he ascended the throne as the twenty-third emperor of the Han Dynasty, and set up his younger brother Liu Xie as the crown prince, and changed the name of the year to Jian'an.

On the same day, he married Yuan Shao as the prince's husband, and named his brother-in-law, Cao Cao, the minister of state, Cao Mengde, as the prince of the country, and called the Duke of Qi with the fief as the title.

Qi Gong swore that he would never be king, so he was called "Heng", that is, [Qi Henggong]

————

Kaifeng, Guogong Mansion.

"Fengxiao, Zhicai, do you know what went wrong?"

Cao Cao sat on the main seat and asked Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who were replacing wine with tea and fighting with each other.

"As 'Jiangzuo Meilin' said, whoever is called an emperor must have the words of 'accompanying unicorn', but there are additional conditions?"

"Nope." Guo Jiaying said: "Although the sister doesn't like to speak, she will not leak it when she paraphrases, the emperor ascends the throne, and there will be a companion unicorn, and there are no conditions here." ”

"Hmm......" Qi Henggong Cao Cao was silent.

The matter of encouraging the princess of Wannian to ascend the throne was a decision made by these strategists after deliberation, which could not only confront Liu Bei in terms of justice and identity, but also appease the hearts of those who followed and considered themselves "Han Chen" rather than "Cao Cao's retainers", and finally, in the case of [the four elephants descended into the world, and the immortals did not come out], they first got a unicorn.

On the same day, the four elephants came, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were thrown "out of the world", and the "stand-in" and Guo Huan's little girl, as well as Cao Cao himself, successfully escaped with the combined efforts of the three parties.

After that, between the lightning and flint, the four elephants were wiped out, and the Sword Saint was nowhere to be found, followed by the "stand-in" and Guo Huan's return from the place known as the "Golden Theater" and brought back news related to the Qilin.

Because they clearly said that they saw Cai Yan being with Zhao Yun, Cai Wan, who lost his sister, didn't really lose his temper and went everywhere to find the so-called "Ranger Guild".

However, after the disappearance of the "Golden Theater", along with the disappearance of all the unconventional immortal arts, martial arts, etc., such as Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Wang Yue, Tong Yuan, etc., all disappeared, and the crown of "No. 1 in the world" naturally fell on Lu Bu's head.

It's as if the unicorn, or "Merlin", is dissatisfied: "Don't mess with me, honestly and practically use the 'Wushuang' and 'Strategist characteristics' to compete for the world." ”

According to Guo Jia's analysis, although she can't use the "strategist characteristic", but her mind is still agile, the "extraordinary power" she left to all parties in the end is the "companion unicorn", although there are many restrictions such as "limited to the emperor's use" and "the emperor must not be without way", but as long as it exists, it is a deterrent to other forces.

But now, Liu Nai has clearly ascended the throne, but there are no people or things similar to Qilin around him, which makes Cao Cao begin to wonder if something is wrong.

"Merlin" only recognizes men as emperors? No way, she herself has been transformed into a woman and has proven everything.

Other than that......

"[Yo, partner~ I'm bringing our son! Others couldn't hear it, and the energetic female voice came into Cao Cao's ears, cutting off his thoughts.

This is also one of the reasons why he judged that "Merlin" was not as serious as she appeared - the "stand-in" became a woman after coming out of the "Golden Theater"? Or is it almost the same appearance as the strange-looking "blue-eyed" of the Jiangdong Sun family?

Are you hinting at something!

Cao Cao never thought about what kind of personality he would be like when he became a woman, and what the "stand-in" did every day profoundly refreshed his perception of himself.

first wore a full set of white clothes called "wedding dress" to pester herself, and then turned to try on Ding Yi and Bian Aya's clothes, during that time "she" almost tried Qingzhou, no, all the women's clothes in the world, relying on others not to see her, sometimes even hanging a few pieces of small cloth to dare to run around, Cao Cao did not stop it, not to stop it.

Eventually, this behavior stopped, because when she tried on a piece of clothing that looked like she was wrapped up in a fluffy strip of cloth, she was discovered by Cao Ang, the only person in the world who could see her.

I have to say that his eldest son is still relatively upright, and immediately ran to Cao Cao and did his best to oppose his father's acceptance of a "that" concubine.

The "stand-in" was deeply affected and finally gave up those strange moves, so now Cao Cao didn't have much trouble except that he needed to adapt to the fact that "his other self" was a blonde and blue-eyed woman, and that she always wanted to go to Jiangdong to recognize her son.

"Oh, Ang'er, what's the matter?" Cao Cao glanced at the "stand-in" who deliberately made a dignified appearance in front of his son, smiled and asked.

"My son was busy with his studies before, and today I am here to congratulate my father on his promotion to 'Qi Henggong'." Cao Ang, who was already a half-grown teenager, saluted decently.

"Hahaha, okay, for the father-" Cao Cao's words were cut off halfway through.

I saw that with Cao Ang's bow, there was an illusory, smoke-like girl figure in front of him, she and Cao Ang "worshipped" after the completion of the "worship", only in the young man's dull gaze from the virtual to the real, forming a girl wearing a splendid blue skirt, holding a flute, although young but charming enough, she threw a wink at Cao Ang, turned to Cao Cao, curtsied.

"Zhen Mi, meet Cao Gong."
