Chapter Forty-Nine: An Edict to the World!
On this day, Ye Qing came to the palace, and happened to see the Empress Dowager He, the cuckoo and the little emperor eating, and there was a girl next to her, who was born slim and elegant, like a lotus flower waiting to be released.
"Debate, see Master!"
As soon as Ye Qing came, he immediately made the expressions of several people present different, and the little emperor looked surprised and saluted him respectfully. He called Ye Qing a master, which was asked by the Empress Dowager He to do so some time ago, and the latter did not object.
"Not bad!"
Looking at the little emperor in front of him, he was much better than before, although he was still a little cowardly, but at least he was much better. Ye Qing became more and more satisfied with his spells, and it was only after he performed an enlightenment for Liu Wei that the latter changed a lot.
When Empress Dowager He and Du Juan saw Ye Qing coming, their whole faces suddenly radiated, as if they were even more charming and moving at this moment. And next to her, the girl had a pink face, bowed her head shyly, and didn't dare to look at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I came today to temporarily go to the court to deal with some things. ”
The cuckoo next to him didn't speak, he was full of wine for Ye Qing, and the Empress Dowager He looked solemn and asked: "Is there anything serious, what do you need to do with the mourning family, you just say." ”
She knew that at this moment, her mother and son, everything was pinned on the young man in front of her. Now I heard him say that he was going to go to court temporarily, which is enough to prove that something big has happened, otherwise it would not be like this.
Ye Qing nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, Luoyang is occupied by Cao Cao, and I want to issue an edict to tell the world, so that Cao Cao had better go back, otherwise, we will meet each other." ”
"Occupy Luoyang?"
Empress Dowager He's face was shocked, very ugly, and said: "This chaotic minister and thief dares to openly occupy the imperial capital, this is absolutely not allowed, what do we need to do?" ”
If it had been before, whoever occupied it would have occupied it, because there was no position. And now it's different, Ye Qing has restored the freedom and identity of their mother and son, naturally it is still the orthodoxy of the Han royal family, and now that the emperor is occupied, is this worth it?
Next, Ye Qing began to instruct, how to announce it in the court. Moreover, he also carefully taught the little emperor what to say, what expressions to say, and what kind of reaction he would have in the future.
In fact, Ye Qing was also very helpless to do this, it was really too cowardly for this little emperor. Even if he opened his mind to this little emperor, he couldn't change his timid and fearful character, so he could only slowly and imperceptibly.
The emperor was going to the court, and such a big thing naturally alarmed the civil and military officials, who were dressed neatly one by one and began to wait in front of the palace gate. They were all civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and their faces were shocked, guessing what they were going to do this time.
Not long after, ministers and generals from all walks of life entered the main hall and began to pay homage to the little emperor on the dragon chair. At this time, no one knew that Ye Qing was behind the curtain, making love to the charming woman Empress Dowager He.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
On the dragon chair, the little emperor's face was serious, sweeping through everyone, making the ministers feel a sense of majesty. Then, I heard him say: "Recently, the news came that Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was occupied by a group of rebellious ministers and thieves. ”
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and they never thought that it would be such a thing. Many of the patriarchs were even more furious, full of angry looks, and they were obviously shocked by the news.
"Silence!"
The little emperor snorted coldly, extremely majestic, and the ministers who looked at it were strange for a while. They didn't expect that after only a few days of not seeing each other, this little emperor had changed like this, and he really had the appearance of a generation of Ming Jun.
The little emperor waved his small hand and snorted: "The bold thief openly occupies the imperial capital, this is a blasphemy against my Han and disrespect to me, and it must be punished!" ”
"Come on, proclaim the decree, and tell the world!" The little emperor was very crisp.
Then, a shrewd eunuch next to him quickly took two steps forward, took out a holy decree, and began to read it. Its content probably means to question Cao Cao's blatant occupation of the Luoyang imperial capital, what is the purpose, and whether there is a rebellious intention?
Then, he was ordered to return the imperial capital of Luoyang on the same day, otherwise he would be regarded as a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and everyone would be killed. As soon as this edict was issued, not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shaken, but even the entire world was shaken three times.
"Edict?"
At this time, with the edict, the whole world shook. In particular, those Confucian disciples who were loyal to the Han Dynasty all talked about it, and they were very indignant at Cao Cao's behavior, and they all criticized it in writing.
As soon as this edict came out, the major princes were shaken, and many princes were still a little disdainful. After all, they all think that the Han Dynasty now exists in name only, and although the edict is surprising, not many people take it seriously.
"This edict, the little emperor of Chang'an really dares to give it?"
At this moment, the news reached Xuchang, and Cao Cao's face did not change in the slightest, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In the hall, a group of civil and military people sat neatly, each looking at an edict in their hands, their faces strange.
And among these people, there is a group of people who are very strange in their dress and dress. These people also looked strange, looking at the content of the edict, which meant to condemn Cao Cao's behavior and ask him to return Luoyang.
"My lord, with this edict, the whole world will regard us as thieves." A scribe had an ugly face and kept staring at the contents of the edict.
"Zhicai, you're too worried!" Someone next to it disagreed.
This is a military general, with a burly body and an extremely strong aura, obviously a powerful general. He is one of Cao Cao's generals, Xiahou Yuan, who said disdainfully at this moment: "This little emperor of Chang'an is a false name, and now the major princes still respect him for orders, which is really ridiculous." ”
"Hugh is unreasonable!"
On the main seat, Cao Cao scolded, and then said softly: "Zhicai, tell me, how to deal with this matter, now you have taken the whole of Luoyang, but you have caused such a commotion." ”
"According to me, what are you afraid of, if he dares to come, then kill him and leave no piece of armor!" A burly general shouted, apparently disdainful.
"Never!"
Xi Zhicai was anxious for a while, and said: "Lord, this matter must not be hasty, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on the people of the world, and the name of the thief cannot be taken down, if so, everyone will have an excuse to find trouble." ”
"Zhicai is right!"
Other strategists agreed with this truth, and Cao Cao also thought about it. And at this moment, among the strangely dressed young people, a young man led by him stood up and bowed.
"Gong Cao, I think that the little emperor in Chang'an is not to be afraid, the only thing worth noting is that there is a group of outsiders like me and others out there, it should be a trick they have made." The words of this young man are surprising.
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he said indifferently: "In this case, this matter will be a little troublesome." ”
"Lord, let's order General Yu Ban to come back, this Luoyang can't be occupied now." A scribe suggested it.
Then, the discussion began, and more than half of them did not approve of the restitution, while a small number of people agreed with the restitution. After all, Chang'an is still the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and if it really doesn't pay it back, the people of the world must think that Cao Cao is a thief.
He Cao Cao is ambitious, but he definitely doesn't want to be labeled as an anti-thief on his head, no one wants to. Therefore, this heroic figure finally made a choice, an amazing choice.
"What?"
At this moment, Ye Qing, who was in the Chang'an Palace and was going through the clouds and rain with the Empress Dowager He, was interrupted by a message. His face was a little gloomy, and he was holding a book of papers, but the more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
"What a Cao Cao, good means!"
Ye Qing was speechless for a while, realizing for the first time the strength of this Cao Cao, or the terrifying nature of a group of strategists under him. This document was presented to the little emperor, and those eunuchs naturally brought it to Ye Qing, the actual person behind the scenes.
And there are a lot of things in the paperwork, and the most surprising thing about Ye Qing is that this Cao Cao actually said that he was repairing the imperial capital for the Han Dynasty. This first guess, the most improbable guess, was actually uttered by him.
Moreover, he also asked the little emperor for a title of king, and it was not himself who was sealed, but Liu Xie, who also belonged to the direct royal family of the Han Dynasty. That's right, it was this Liu Xie who had been dedicated to Cao Cao by that group of Chosen One, and he just took advantage of it.
Ye Qing pondered here, and behind him, Empress Dowager He came like a demon snake, and muttered: "Wrongdoer, why are you so angry, did Cao Cao refuse?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "This Cao Cao is really extraordinary, and it is still very simple, and he also said that he helped the Han to repair it voluntarily, but there is only one request, that is, to crown Liu Xie as the king, this is a request." ”
"Feng Liu Xie?"
Empress Dowager He was shocked, and finally heard the news of Liu Xie, and she was a little abrupt. However, she didn't say much, she was smart and knew that these things shouldn't be said, so it didn't affect Ye Qing, she just lay behind him.
"Someone, go and invite the prime minister!"
Ye Qing ordered, and a eunuch outside quickly left and went to invite Jia Xu. Then, under the service of Empress Dowager He, Du Juan and a young girl next to him, he bathed and changed his clothes, dressed neatly, and finally waited for Jia Xu's arrival.
The two met outside the hall, and as soon as they sat down, Ye Qing handed the latter a document to read. And Jia Xu looked at it, his eyes flashed with Dao essence, as if he was a little surprised.
"Sure enough, as the lord said, there are a few amazing strategists who are planning for that Cao Cao." Jia Xu was amazed for a while, and then a little excited.
If such a person exists, he will not be lonely in the future, and he will feel that he has found a kind of fun. Jia Xu felt that only at this moment could he really give full play to his talents, so that he could fight with those top strategists.
The two discussed here, and there was a big uproar in the world, and they originally guessed what Cao Cao would do, but unfortunately, the most disappointed and angry was Yuan Shao, who thought that there was an excuse to teach Cao Cao a lesson, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
