"Hua Qing has been tired all the way!" Liu Xie helped Hua Xin up with emotion.

At this time, it was outside the gate of Xudu that Liu Xiehe and hundreds of civil and military officials, including Cao Cao, were here to greet Hua Xin, who had returned the jade seal.

Of course, in theory, it is to welcome the "heirloom jade seal", not to welcome Huaxin.

"Your Majesty was ordered by the general to come here to give me the artifact of the Han Dynasty, how can it be so glorious." Hua Xin said with full feelings.

"Hahaha, Hua Daren's unmeritorious temperament is very similar to your general."

I saw the man walking beside the Son of Heaven, but the man with his back who was faintly estranged, said with a smile at this time.

"The prime minister laughed, my father-in-law is really meritorious, and I ......" Although Hua Xin is the first time to see him, he can also see the identity of this person.

Without waiting for Hua Xin to finish speaking, he saw a middle-aged man with a round face and a mustache sway out behind Liu Xie, and interrupted: "Hua Daren's words are wrong, the whole world, it is not the king's land, there is only one lord in the world, that is, Your Majesty today, we are the Han family, I don't know which family your family is?" ”

Hua Xin was stunned when he heard this, and specially looked at his neck, and said secretly in his heart: Your neck is not long, huh?

"Uncle Guo! Don't be rude. Liu Xie scolded.

Hua Xin's mind turned and he understood that this person should be Dong Cheng - Hua Xin also did his homework along the way, although there was still an uncle Fu Guo in the court, but in terms of temperament, it was obviously not so public.

Dong Cheng was originally Niu Fu's general, and Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, that is...... Dong Cheng was originally from the Liangzhou warlord line.

Originally, this was the most difficult identity to be accepted by Liu Xie, but Dong Cheng also had another identity, that is, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong - the Empress Dowager Dong refers to Emperor Ling's mother, that is, Liu Xie's grandmother, and Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong.

Dong Cheng's relationship with the royal family at this level made him more acceptable to Liu Xie, and it was precisely for this reason that when Jia Xu planned for Liu Xie, he chose Dong Cheng to rebel.

Sure enough, Dong Cheng finally became the key figure in Liu Xie's escape from the predicament, and won Liu Xie's trust even more, and Dong Cheng's daughter was also married to Liu Xie.

However, Dong Cheng can hardly be said to be loyal to Liu Xie, but it cannot be said to be disloyal......

If it is said to be disloyal, Dong Cheng does not have two hearts, but ...... Dong Cheng's loyalty is not to hope that Liu Xie and the Han family will get better and better, but that he will get better and better!

When they were obviously embattled, Dong Cheng still wished that he would be a loyal minister in the whole world, and Liu Xie had better trust only one of himself, and then he could make a big difference......

Now that he heard Liu Xie actually reprimanding himself, Dong Cheng suddenly felt anxious in his heart - could it be that someone entered my slander?

Immediately, Dong Cheng looked at Liu Ai accurately, and Liu Ai ...... continued to look at Liu Xie and Hua Xin, ignoring him at all.

"Yes, on the day of the big day, what is Uncle Dong so nervous about? Let alone...... I don't know what Uncle Guo called Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo at the beginning? Cao Cao laughed.

Ignoring Liu Xie and Dong Cheng, his face was already bruised.

Liu Ai doesn't understand why there are such things as "Lei Gong Breaking Bridge" and "Heavenly Gong Sweeping Path", but deep down in Liu Ai's heart, he doesn't believe in the so-called celestial phenomena, or doesn't believe that this vision can really represent celestial phenomena!

He was not the only one present who had this idea, after all, among the top strategists and wise men, there were only a few who would believe in celestial phenomena without brains, but they were just ...... It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, the important thing is that they can't explain it to anyone else.

"A banquet has been prepared in the palace, Hua Qing should go with me." Liu Xie said a little coldly because of Cao Cao's interruption.

"Wait...... Your Majesty, now that you have seen Your Majesty's face, there is no reason why the artifact of the country is left in the hands of your subordinates, please take back the artifact first, and your Majesty will dare to go to the banquet with Your Majesty. Hua Xin said and fetched the jade seal.

Originally, Hua Xin refused, and Liu Xie thought that he was going to retreat and advance, asking for some benefits for himself or for Bai Tu, but after hearing Hua Xin's words, Liu Xie's tears of emotion were about to fall.

"There is no need to be in a hurry, and then there will be a natural opportunity to present the jade seal." Cao Cao interjected directly again, completely ignoring that Hua Xin was talking to Liu Xie now, and deliberately called Hua Xin's subordinate official position in the General's Mansion.

Even took a step to the side, faintly blocking Liu Xie, and for a while, the surrounding ministers and guards seemed to feel the stagnation of the scene and became a little nervous.

Especially standing on the periphery, Liu Bei, who was faintly estranged from the hundreds of officials in the court and the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stared at Cao Cao with burning eyes at this time, and then immediately lost his eyes.

What is prepared in the palace is indeed not only a banquet, but also the etiquette of handing over the jade seal of the country - this kind of thing, in fact, there is no fixed etiquette, after all, the jade seal has always been passed down from generation to generation, and the local princes intercepted the jade seal and presented it to the Son of Heaven, which was an accident.

It's just that Cao Cao still prepared a play, which in itself made Liu Xie extremely unhappy.

Naturally, he didn't know that this was Guo Jia's suggestion, the purpose was to "intercept" the luck of the Han family as much as possible after the return of the jade seal, and ...... And count it all in one fell swoop.

"The prime minister doesn't know, when the general came, he instructed his subordinates that if he saw His Majesty, he would definitely present the jade seal as soon as possible." Hua Xin said and directly held the jade seal in his hand, raised it high above his head, and made a big gift to Liu Xie.

At this time, Hua Xin put on a posture that the Son of Heaven must take over, but Cao Cao's arrangement was in vain - if the person who came was just the one who happened to get the jade seal, Cao Cao even dared to take the jade seal directly on behalf of Liu Xie.

Although he will definitely turn his head to Liu Xie again in the end, this time can further suppress Liu Xie's prestige and deter the ministers, and at the same time observe who is the hidden Han diehards among the courtiers and who can coerce and lure.

For Guo Jia, this "ritual" helped Cao Cao "digest" the luck of the Han family.

In the romance, Cao Cao even deliberately borrowed the bow and arrow of the Son of Heaven to shoot a deer when he was hunting in Xu Tian...... This incident also happened in the fourth year of Jian'an.

At that time, in the romance, the three Liu Bei brothers were the doormen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing this scene, Guan Yu wanted to directly split Cao Cao, but was stopped by Liu Bei, on the grounds that Cao Cao was too close to the Son of Heaven at that time, and he was surrounded by Cao Cao's henchmen, so he made a rash move, afraid that Cao Cao would kill them on the charge of shock.

The ministers were even more afraid of Cao Cao, although they were "all shocked", but they had no substantive reaction, just made Cao Cao show off his might.

And now...... In the world of Chengji, the hunt of Xu Tian in the romance did not happen, and Cao Cao was ready to accept the seal on behalf of the sky, but he also failed to make the trip under Hua Xin's firmness.

Although Liu Xie hated and feared Cao Cao, when he saw Cao Cao deflated at this time, he also understood that Cao Cao would definitely not dare to forcibly take the jade seal in front of the people and ministers, after all, ...... Now the jade seal is still in Hua Xin's hands, and behind Hua Xin is a white picture.

Cao Cao is indeed jealous of the people in the General's Mansion, if Hua Xin sees him coming to pick him up, he directly lets go, then it is Cao Cao himself who is ashamed, and ...... He didn't dare to do anything to the messenger of the Great General's Mansion!

Just thinking about it like this, Liu Xie felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

So Liu Xie had the courage to step forward and take the jade seal, and indeed Cao Cao did not stop it, and then ...... Liu Xie once again praised Hua Xin's loyalty.

If it weren't for Liu Ai's subtle stopping, Liu Xie would even want to ridicule a certain unnamed Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

Liu Xie held the jade seal, looked at Cao Cao's unhappy appearance, felt that he had reached the peak, greeted Hua Xin more enthusiastically, handed over the jade seal to Liu Ai for safekeeping, and took Hua Xin's arm to walk with him.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was even more "invisible", walking beside the emperor without the emperor's arm.

As for the guard of honor and the escort team, 500 of them were naturally not allowed to enter the city, and together with the 100 generals who were fully matched, they were stationed in the city under the arrangement of the "imperial court".

In addition, there are a hundred guards who will enter the city to protect Hua Xin - all of them are drawn from Bai Tu's guards.

This scale will neither worry Cao Cao, nor will Hua Xin be "bullied".

During the banquet, Hua Xin also put himself in his shoes more and felt the atmosphere of Xudu today.

Although Cao Cao is not as rude as Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, he has also openly oppressed or attacked the authority of the Son of Heaven.

And most of the people in the court are mediocre or wise and self-protective-they really have backbone, and they have been killed by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan a long time ago.

They are all named Han Chen, but the way to express "loyalty" is to bow their heads and make a look of concern when Cao Cao is rude, and they don't know who to show it to.

Anyway, for most courtiers, it is impossible to resist, and they are embarrassed to be thieves, and they may not be able to look down on others, so they can only make a living without a smile......

As for the few who really want to protect the emperor, Hua Xin has only been in Xudu for half a day, and he can already take a look, and at the same time...... He also began to understand why Liu Bei's sense of existence was not as strong as he imagined.

If it is a werewolf killing now, then ...... The rules are too inclined to werewolves and don't say anything, and the prophet (Liu Xie) has been blocked skills; A Jinshui mob (Dong Cheng) is chaotic with rhythm, with a posture of "God will kneel down for me, otherwise I will be beaten as a wolf"; A few gods who still want to win, hang up to the open card; One by one, the other civilians were either expecting to be planted, or paddling wildly...... Replaced by Hua Xin is Liu Bei, and now he can only compete with the Wolves.

However, for Hua Xin, the current situation is not very bad, after all, he is not Liu Xie's side, and he is ...... Liu Xie still trusts him very much, which is very comfortable.

Although Dong Cheng is stupid and violent, his questioning of Hua Xin is not painful at all in Hua Xin's opinion, but Liu Ai...... On the surface, he has been speaking for himself, but Hua Xin always feels that he doesn't really trust himself.

After that, Hua Xin also had to stay in Xudu for a period of time, at least on behalf of the General's Mansion, to participate in the New Year's Day Festival.

According to Bai Tu's instructions before leaving, if Hua Xin feels that he is "promising" in Xudu, he can follow Liu Xie's retention to continue to stay in Xudu, and if he feels that there is no chance or danger, he will come back after the New Year's Day meeting.

Looking at Hua Xin, who was cordially greeted by Liu Xie at the banquet, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of what happened when he first arrived in Xudu more than half a year ago......
