It's past midnight, but the back house of Liangzhou Taishou Mansion is still brightly lit.

In Guo Yan's study, Fang Mu and other henchmen were all present, and among them, the most surprising was none other than the eldest young master Guo Chong.

At this time, he was also in a completely different state from the others, the whole person was listless, yawning from time to time, and he didn't listen to the things that his father and the officials discussed.

"Do you think I'm on the right step or on the wrong foot?" Guo Yan didn't pay much attention to his eldest son, who was not angry, and instead focused on the present.

The most trusted mastermind by him, that is, Shi Zhuhang, the mayor of the city, already had a plan at this time, and immediately said slowly: "It depends on how ambitious you are, lord."

"If you just want to be quick for a while, and want to take advantage of the chaos in the world to occupy a side of the world in order to stand on your own, inviting the emperor like this will do more harm than good after all.

"But if the lord really has the ambition to compete for the world in the future, or even replace the Sun family, then it is much more advantageous to hold it in his hands than to let it go."

Now that the people who talk behind closed doors are their own family members, everyone no longer uses those high-sounding words to cover up, and everyone has no reaction to Guo Yan's ambition for him to speak so bluntly, but they are becoming more and more energetic.

"You should have known what my ambitions were." Guo Yan Zhengse emphasized again.

But then, he smiled bitterly: "But today's accident has given me a wake-up call." I'm afraid this matter has already leaked out, and some people don't want me to hold the emperor in my hands. ”

"This is a matter of course, Cao Cao has long coerced the Son of Heaven to order the example of the princes, who doesn't know what the lord wants to usher the emperor to Liangzhou?

"Those people may not have the courage and courage of the lord, but they will never be willing to watch the lord take this opportunity to grow step by step and obtain the righteous name they have always dreamed of.

"That's why they use such an insidious tactic to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, once they really succeed today, then they can completely put the charge of killing the monarch on the head of the lord and my Liangzhou.

"At that time, those guys around who are already ready to move will be able to jointly send troops to my Liangzhou to the Jedi!"

Fang Mu's analysis made everyone nod frequently, which was the deeper reason behind today's assassination.

However, after a pause, he said: "But today we have protected the emperor, and the situation is completely different.

"If the initiative was in them before, then the initiative is in us next.

"My lord, as long as you ask the captured assassins about their origins, you can use this as an excuse to raise an army to fight!

"And this time, we can completely raise the banner of eradicating rebellion for the emperor, we can edict the world, and list it as a rebel like the Pingtian rebel army in the north, and even let the officials of other states also send troops to attack together, and obey the orders of the lord.

"If anyone disobeys, they will be considered complicit in the rebellion, and it will be natural for them to go on a conquest at that time."

After listening to this analysis, the generals in the room nodded their heads again and again, their eyes full of excitement, this is exactly the general trend they want to see the most.

Even Guo Yan had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhu Hang opened his mouth and added: "And this is only the first step, to deter all parties in the Central Plains."

"Next, we can follow the strategy we have previously discussed, in the name of the emperor, to ask for money, food, soldiers and horses from all parties, and even to think of taking them for our own use.

"If you dare to disobey, you can also deduct the charge of colluding with the traitors and plotting against them, and then send troops to fight again, and it will also occupy the name of righteousness."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Guo Yan with a smile: "Presumably, with the wisdom of the lord, this kind of benefits has naturally been known in his heart for a long time.

"What you're worried about today is nothing more than the safety of the next emperor and whether you can really control it, right?"

"Those who know me have cliffs!" Guo Yan nodded and praised, this cliff is Zhu Han's expression.

"Today's emperor doesn't look like a mediocre and cowardly lord who can be manipulated by me at will.

"Not to mention his calm and normal performance after such a near-death assassination, even if he finally saw through our thoughts, but still dared to speak, so that I had to severely punish Han'er, it can be seen that he is also a bold and careful person, and he dares to take action."

Speaking of this, he unconsciously let out a sigh: "I really didn't expect that the current emperor would have such a change after this chaos.

"When I was in Luoyang, every time I saw him, I only felt that he was a selfish and mediocre gentleman, who never had great ambitions, and who had no brains.

"But today, it seems that he is no longer him, no wonder he can quickly rise again after the fall of Luoyang, and he also holds the vital Nanyang City in his hands.

"Fang Tongzhi is right, I really want to be Cao Cao. But the problem is that Emperor Xian of Han under Cao Cao's control is just a yellow-mouthed child, and he has no threat at all, so he can only make promises. But what about our emperor?

"Is he willing to be a puppet to help me continue to crusade against the Quartet, and replace it in the end?"

Fang Mu was silent, and then exchanged glances with Zhu Hang, and then saw the latter smile and said, "The lord is worried about this."

"I don't dare to say that this is unfounded, but I don't think these problems can be regarded as real problems.

"My lord, don't you hear about the edict?"

"Are you saying that when Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Emperor Han Xian united with many courtiers in the court to rebel and spread the will?" Guo Yan frowned.

"Exactly. This secret line ultimately failed, but there is one thing in front of everyone, that is, when Emperor Han Xian was just controlled by Cao Cao, he was not willing to be manipulated and was not willing to be just a puppet. So there was the rebellion of the edict.

But as a result, after this chaos was quelled, and the so-called loyal ministers such as Dong Cheng were killed, Emperor Han Xian was completely honest.

Since then, he has never had any other thoughts, even if he was forced by Cao Pi to abdicate many years later, he obediently cooperated.

"I think that the current emperor is just Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who has just fallen into Cao Cao's hands, maybe a little bold, but after all, it is difficult to become a climate.

"Even in terms of truth, he is not as good as Emperor Han Xian. At least Emperor Han Xian really had loyal ministers by his side at the beginning, but he was in my Liangzhou City, except for those eunuchs and a hundred and ten guards, he didn't even have half a helper.

"As long as the lord is both soft and hard, and rectifies it, aren't you afraid that he will not be the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

These words really untied Guo Yan's heart knot, making him nod frequently: "Yes, this is very true, but I am a little worried." Chong'er, you have walked with the emperor all the way, what do you think of him? ”
