Let Tang Ji go?

It doesn't seem like it has to be!

After King Hongnong died, he also monitored Tang Ji for a period of time, and it can be determined that King Hongnong is really dead, and the jade seal of the country is not in the hands of King Hongnong. Previously, it was rumored that Sun Jian had found the heirloom jade seal in the well of the Luoyang Palace, but Dong Zhuo was suspicious. But now, looking at the actions of the princes, he has some faith in this rumor.

The heirloom jade seal, is it really in the hands of Sun Jian?

When you think about it, it seems normal.

The jade seal of the country has always been kept by the emperor's attendants.

In the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants on that day, the Han Emperor was abducted and left by Zhang Rang, how could he carry the jade seal of the country with him? In other words, the jade seal must have been kept in the hands of the female officials beside him. On that day, the rebels rushed into the palace, and the female official committed suicide by jumping into the well to avoid being humiliated...... Well, that makes sense!

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little remorseful.

In Luoyang that day, if he had searched the palace carefully, he might have been able to find the jade seal.

However, he did not think about this, but focused on King Hongnong, so that he missed the opportunity.

Hateful, really hateful!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The first year of the first peace passed quietly in the noise and noise.

When the new year comes, the city of Tobu Yang is full of joy.

Cao Cao was entrusted by Liu Dai to dispatch troops and defeat the black mountain thieves who were ravaging in Dongjun, which also made the people of Dongjun extremely happy.

Peace at last!

I hope that in the new year, there will be a new atmosphere.

And the Dongbu Yangcheng Mansion is even more colorful.

Everyone welcomed the New Year with smiles on their faces.

However, in the study of the back house, Cao Cao sat there, stunned.

At this time in previous years, Mrs. Ding would definitely be in charge of Zhang Luo, Cao Ang would run back and forth in the front and back yards non-stop, and Ding Chen would follow him with a smile. And this year, he is alone, and he is even more lonely in his heart.

"Lord, why don't you go for a walk?"

"I don't want to move."

Guo Jia, who came together with Xun Yu, saw Cao Cao's appearance, and quickly understood the distress in his heart.

It's just that Cao Cao is lying on the bed, with a look of "you don't care about me", I am very unhappy.

Xun Yu said: "Lord, why don't you send someone back and bring your family here?" ”

Cao Cao not only has a wife for Mrs. Ding, but also has two concubines in the family, Bian and Huan, as well as two children.

Xun Yu's words were also well-intentioned.

But he angered Cao Cao and said: "Let them do anything, make noise, and annoy individuals." ”

Xun Yu wanted to persuade again, but was pulled by Guo Jia.

He turned his head and saw Guo Jia shaking his head at him, which means, don't say it anymore!

"Lord, then you rest first, Wen Ruo and I will go to the public house to see if there is anything going on."

"Good!"

Cao Cao answered, and immediately stretched out his hand and put the quilt on his head.

Seeing this, Guo Jia sighed.

He pulled Xun Yu out of the door, and then said in a low voice: "Wen Ruo, you were so good just now, what did you do with your family?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Xun Yu was dazed, looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that the lord has a dead knot in his heart. ”

"What dead knot?"

"Do you know that when the world is cheap?"

"How can I not know this...... By the way, I remember that Ding Chen seems to be the lord's ......"

"The lord and his wife have a deep affection, and the relationship with Ding Chen is very deep.

At the beginning, he assassinated Dong Zhuo and fled Luoyang in a hurry, but Ding Chen and his wife were trapped in Luoyang City. Fortunately, thanks to Na Ding Chen's protection, his wife and children were safe. However, Ding Chen turned against the lord because of this, and the lord was depressed.

Come to think of it, today's lord thinks of his wife, so he is depressed. ”

Xun Yu heard this, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong with the lord abandoning his family for the sake of righteousness?

That Ding Chen does not distinguish between right and wrong, and it is really wrong to resent the lord because of this. ”

In this era, women were mostly vassals of men.

In the future, Liu Bei will say that brothers are like siblings and wives are like clothes...... In fact, not only Liu Bei, many people think so.

Even if he is as resourceful and strong as Xun Yu, he is not exempt from vulgarity.

"You don't understand...... Ding Chen is a person who has no desires and no desires, and he is not the kind of ambitious person. ”

When Guo Jia said this, when he saw Xun Yu's disdainful expression, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Actually, he understands Ding Chen quite well.

It's just that he also knows that this kind of thing can't be explained clearly to Xun Yu.

"Let's go, let's go to the public house and see if there's anything going on...... If nothing happens, why don't we go to yesterday's wine shop and have a drink.

The lord is very human, although the interest is not high for a while, but it can be adjusted after a while. ”

Xun Yu heard this and nodded in agreement.

The two went to the public housing together, but found that a lot of affairs had piled up.

The two of them sat down and looked through the official documents.

Suddenly, Xun Yu took the case and exclaimed: "This is a true righteous person!" ”

"What?"

Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Xun Yu suspiciously.

saw Xun Yu coming over and handed Guo Jia an official document in his hand.

It was a piece of information from Chang'an, and what was written on it was the conversation between Ding Chen and Dong Zhuo on Bailiang Terrace that day.

Guo Jia couldn't help but be moved by it.

He said softly: "A promise of a thousand gold, with the style of the ancients."

No wonder the lord is full of praise for him, even if he has been defeated by Ding Ziyang repeatedly, he has no resentment...... This is not without reason. ”

"yes!"

Xun Yu was suddenly a little entangled, "Such a righteous man, why is he involved in the love of that child and the lord and the lord?" ”

Guo Jia smiled.

"Wen Ruo, no matter what, Ding Ziyang is the wife and brother of the lord.

Maybe he's an enemy of the lord now, but he'll come back sooner or later. I would like to warn you, don't say those words in front of him. Otherwise, if he really starts a fire, even if he is the lord, he will not dare to come forward to intercede for you. ”

Xun Yu listened, although he was a little dissatisfied, but surprisingly did not open his mouth to defend.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

"The lord is happy, the lord is happy!"

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly ran in, and when he saw that there were only Guo Jia and Xun Yu, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Where is the lord?" Where is it now? ”

"Haven't gotten up yet."

"Miaocai, what kind of happy event makes you so out of shape?"

"The imperial court sent a messenger to worship the lord as the Taishou of Dongjun and the Marquis of Fei Ting.

The messenger is almost outside the city, and I have come to inform the lord. ”

"The Imperial Court?"

Xun Yu's eyes froze, glanced at Guo Jia, and then said, "Could it be Dong Zhuo?" ”

"Oh, exactly!"

To be honest, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also hope that Cao Cao can have an official identity as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the stronger he is, the more embarrassed he will be to stay in Dongjun, and he may even be suspicious of Liu Dai.

At that time, Cao Cao wanted to continue to stay in Dongjun, but he was afraid that there would be some trouble.

Therefore, the appointment of the East County Taishou came very timely.

But the problem is that if this appointment comes from Yuan Shao, it may not be justified, but with the background of Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, the princes will not object. But this appointment comes from Dong Zhuo, so it's a big problem!

To answer, or not to answer?

Xun Yu hesitated.

He thought a lot, not only about Cao Cao's interests in the land of Dongjun, but also about the relationship between Cao Cao and various forces outside Dongjun.

If Cao Cao had taken over this appointment, would he have angered the other princes?

Or did it give the other princes the illusion that Cao Cao had surrendered to Dong Zhuo?

If this is the case, Cao Cao will definitely struggle in the future.

But if you don't accept this appointment, it will also be very troublesome.

When will Yuan Shao give Cao Cao this appointment? You must know that Yuan Shao has now returned to Bohai and has a gap with Jizhou Mu Hanfu. He didn't have the energy to take care of Cao Cao at all, and he probably wouldn't take the initiative to come over to help Cao Cao.

In this way......

If you miss it, Cao Cao wants to take over Dongjun again, but it will be difficult!

After all, the Black Mountain thieves have been expelled, and once they are completely calmed down, will Liu Dai really be kind enough to hand over Dongjun to Cao Cao?

Anyway, in Xun Yu's opinion, this possibility is almost none.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?"

What Xun Yu thought of, Guo Jia also thought of.

He smiled bitterly: "In my opinion, this matter is still up to the lord to decide...... You and I might as well inform the lord of this matter first. ”

"Tell me what?"

After Guo Jiafang finished speaking, Cao Cao's voice came from outside the house.

Everyone hurriedly turned around to look, and saw Cao Cao walking into the room.

"Bonghyo, what did you just say, what did you want to tell me?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, stepped forward, and told the envoy sent by Dong Zhuo to appoint Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun. Then, he explained his concerns to Cao Cao in detail, and finally said: "This matter, the pros and cons are half, and the lord still needs to make a decision." ”

"Dong Zhuo, this is what you want me to be the target of the public."

Cao Cao was such a smart person, he saw through Dong Zhuo's intentions at once.

He sat down, his eyes slightly closed, deep in thought.

After a while, Cao Cao sat up straight, and a gleam flashed in his slender eyes.

"Dongjun, among the millions, across the banks of the big river, the land is fertile, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

I'm often worried about the murder of the Duke of Imahashi and the killing of Wang Qiu, making it a borderless land. Dong Zhuo is also a national thief, but he represents the orthodoxy of the imperial court after all. What I am serving is not Dong Zhuo's appointment, but the gift of the Son of Heaven, so why be afraid of rumors?

As for the princes......"

When Cao Cao said this, he sneered.

"I was determined to revive the Han family, and it was inevitable to conquer.

If the princes cut me down, they will rebel against the Son of Heaven, and if I cut down the princes, it will be in accordance with the will of heaven. If you don't even dare to bear this little danger, how can you revive the Han family? Miaocai, pass my order, go out of the city ten miles, and line up to welcome the arrival of the angels.

Wen Ruo, I want you to plan immediately, create momentum, and help me sit firmly in the position of the Taishou of Dongjun.

On the second of February, the dragon raised its head...... I'm going to enter Puyang on that day and become the lord of Dongjun, I wonder if you can do it? ”

The spirit of looking at the world made Xun Yu's heart broken.

Husband, this is the only way to build a meritorious career!

He no longer cared about what the princes thought, but bowed down to Cao Cao and said: "The lord has this ambition, Xun Yu will serve his life!" ”
