Shangshutai, Da Sima Mansion and Liucao are all in a hurry to deal with the matter of 'Yuan Shu becoming emperor'.

And the news was also 'not far away', and it exploded in Luoyang City in an instant.

Tea houses, restaurants, streets and alleys, everywhere is unbelievable and frightened discussions.

"Really? Then Yuan Highway is called the emperor? ”

"No, I have a nephew in the Yuan Shu army, and he sent back the news!"

"I also heard that Yuan Shu decided to ascend the throne in Shouchun, and the year name, dragon robe, and jade seal are all ready......"

"He, the fourth and third dukes of their Yuan family, how can it be......"

"I didn't believe it at first, but I asked the court, and guess what? Everyone was silent, as if they didn't know anything! ”

"That's it. The imperial court must be preparing, so Yuan Shu is really so rebellious that he wants to ascend the throne and become the emperor? ”

"Didn't he say before that the first emperor would leave an edict to support the King of Bohai?"

"You also believe this kind of nonsense, the Yuan family has done so many things, now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's all true!"

"Then there can be a fake, you look at the princes in the court, especially Yang Gong, who has in-laws with the Yuan family, can he refute more than half of the sentence?"

"Who would have thought that the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, famous in the world, would have such great ambitions!"

"Then the prestige of the Yuan family has come to an end, what else can I do if I don't usurp the throne?"

"Hey, the most difficult thing to do now is I'm afraid it's King Chen Liu."

"Shouldn't King Chen Liuwang be happy, after all, Yuan Shu rebelled before, under the banner of the edict of the first emperor......"

"Hey, in the past, the imperial court had scruples, afraid of keeping the truth, but now it'......"

"Be careful! Be careful! ”

……

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the officials of the government and the opposition could not sit still.

Not to mention that Liucao was surrounded by people, even in front of the Suzaku Gate, it was also full of willing people, shouting that Yuan Shu would be cut with a thousand knives.

And all kinds of playbooks, like snowflakes flying in the palace.

But there was no reaction from the imperial court, it was silent, no big people spoke, no orders, and no edicts were issued.

It wasn't until the third day that Dong Zhuo was found in the imperial court.

Xun Yu, the prime minister of Shangshutai, convened an enlarged meeting of the imperial court, counted the exploits of the Yuan family in public, and then reprimanded the sins of the Yuan family since Zhongping.

In the approval of the courtiers, Xun Yu personally promulgated Liu Wei's edict, ordering Zhang Wen to be the general of Zuo, leading an army of 300,000 and attacking in three ways.

At the same time, he sent a message to the whole country, asking the scholars of the whole country to distinguish between right and wrong and abide by the general righteousness.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Wen led the men and horses, in full view of everyone, from Luoyang City to the south.

What is surprising is that the imperial court's reaction to Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor ended here, without too many movements, as if nothing major had happened.

Three days after Zhang Wen's expedition, Prime Minister Xun Yu went out of Beijing to inspect Yan, Hebei, and Qingdao.

On another three days, the right servant shot Zhong Xuan and was ordered to go out of Beijing and inspect Liang and Hebei Prefectures.

At the same time, Qian County.

Cao Cao stood on a small hill and looked in the direction of Yangzhou.

His face was blue, his eyes were furious, and he said hatefully: "Yuan Shu is a traitor, so ambitious, I can't wait to lift the three-foot sword, personally cut off his head, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!" ”

Behind him stood Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Xu Zhu, Cao Ren and others, plus a Lu Yu from Luoyang.

Everyone didn't speak, and when they got the news, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

After confirming it again and again, I had to let go of the last trace of suspicion, and finally convinced that Yuan Shu was really the emperor!

After a long time, Guo Jia saw that there was still no one to talk to, so he had to pretend to sigh and said: "Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would be so demented, he is called the emperor, the world will not tolerate it, and defeat is not far away." ”

Le Jin sneered and said, "It's still the general who is right, that Yuan Shu is too selfish, and he is really a villain!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Yangzhou, holding the hilt of his sword in his left hand, and turned around slightly.

Guo Jia noticed it, his eyes moved slightly, he picked up the wine jug and took a sip, he glanced at Lu Yu and said with a smile: "Master Lu, there is no General Cao in the list of the imperial court's expedition?" ”

Lu Yu was by Cao Cao's side, more secure than in the palace, not too restrained, and nodded calmly: "Hmm." There was a lot of opposition in the court, and no one agreed with General Cao. ”

"What about Your Majesty?" Guo Jia asked casually.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them. Even Cao Cao, who was rubbing the hilt of his sword, shook his hand and pricked up his ears.

Lu Yu did not hide it, and said: "Originally, Your Majesty was willing to send troops together with General Cao and Yuan Benchu, but it was opposed, and later it was changed to Liu Xuande, who was too guarded by Langya. ”

Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully, looked at Cao Cao's back, and said pointedly: "So, the imperial court compromised and gave General Cao the right to act cheaply?" ”

Lu Yu also looked at Cao Cao and said, "General Cao, don't be discouraged, before leaving Luoyang, Your Majesty said that it is not necessary to kill Dong." ”

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes were shining, and he turned around expressionlessly and said lightly: "The court has decided to destroy it?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Duke Liu insisted on destroying it as soon as possible, but the imperial court disagreed. ”

Guo Jia drank wine and said with some sighs: "Your Majesty is caught in the middle, I'm afraid it's very difficult." ”

Lu Yu nodded sympathetically and said, "The prime minister's qualifications are too shallow, and many things need to be decided by His Majesty, and His Majesty has slept for an hour less than before." ”

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Luoyang, couldn't help touching his beard, and said indifferently: "Those faint officials and mediocre officials, they should be beheaded!" ”

Lu Yu was startled, looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he hurriedly said: "General Cao said cautiously, there have been people in the court chasing the general, I heard that there are still cases of generals in Yushitai, don't give them any more handles, otherwise it will be more difficult for Your Majesty to do it." ”

Cao Cao saw Lu Yu looking at him like this, glanced at Guo Jia, and said with a melancholy face: "I have the heart to repay the gentleman's kindness and fight to get rid of the thief, but what can I do, I can't ......help it."

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, and swallowed back.

Guo Jia saw it clearly, shook his head, and said, "General, Little Master Lu has been in the dust all the way, let's let him rest well." Since Your Majesty has made a will, we can do it. ”

Cao Cao understood, stretched out his hand to grab Lu Yu, and laughed loudly: "It's me who was negligent, Lu Yu, let's go, I'll take you to Qian County for a walk, this is my hometown, I have everything to eat and drink here." Here, don't be as restrained as Luoyang, you can do whatever you want, even if you cut off my head......"

Lu Yu saw that Cao Cao was still the same as before, and he didn't have any sense of rustiness, so he immediately smiled and said, "The general said that he was laughing." ”

"No jokes,"

Cao Cao smiled, and then said to Xu Chu and the others: "Did you hear all my words?" Lu Yu can go wherever he wants, and you can't stop me from cutting off my head with a knife, and you are not allowed to hurt him at all......"

"The last general commands!" Xu Zhu, Cao Ren and others responded without thinking.

Guo Jia drank wine and smiled without interjecting.

Seeing Cao Cao treating him like this, Lu Yu's face turned a little red, and he endured it for a long time, but still said, "General, that, you can send a letter to Liu Gong." ”

Cao Cao looked down at his expression, and instantly understood, but he didn't care at all, and said loudly: "Don't talk about this today, let's go, drink first." ”

"Okay." Lu Yu nodded, and a bright smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from the caution in the palace.

After eating and drinking, Lu Yu was drunk and unconscious, and fell asleep on Cao Cao's couch.

Cao Cao, who was also drunk, quietly got up in the second half of the night and came to the courtyard.

Guo Jia drank to the moon, heard the footsteps, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Little Master Lu is asleep?" ”

Cao Cao's mouth was dry, and when he got closer, he took a big sip of tea, and then said with a solemn face: "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia already had a draft and said: "From the current point of view, the imperial court still doesn't want to make a big move. ”

Cao Cao's narrow eyes flashed with coldness, and his tone was cold, "A group of mediocre people!" ”

"Still,"

Guo Jia then said: "Your Majesty's attitude seems to be different. ”

Cao Cao's expression shook slightly, and he said, "What do you say?" ”

Guo Jia drank wine and said leisurely with some drunkenness: "In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has almost fallen apart, and the court is extremely weak, and Your Majesty can only take it step by step and endure it. But now four or five years have passed, although the court is as difficult as before, it has also accumulated a lot, and it can completely fight a war. ”

Cao Cao was moved, and thought about it: "What does Feng Xiao mean, is it to say, Your Majesty, is it really going to destroy Dong?" ”

Guo Jia seemed to hesitate and said, "With my understanding of Your Majesty, if he makes a big fanfare, he won't." But the imperial court's reaction was too restrained, more like it was preparing something. I thought about it, maybe I only understood. ”

Cao Cao's long narrow eyes narrowed, and his breathing became a little shorter.

For Cao Cao, anything that happens in the court can be ignored, what he wants is merit!

If His Majesty in the palace is determined to destroy it, he must take this great credit!

After just a moment, Cao Cao calmed down, smiled at Guo Jia, and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think Your Majesty will arrange?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao's smile and knew that he had an idea, and said, "How to arrange it depends on the destruction of Yuan." Yuan Shu's move made people and gods angry, and the world deviated. I expect that Yuan Shu's staff and the army will definitely have a fluctuating heart and a chaotic military mind. Regardless of whether the imperial court sends troops or not, Shi Xie, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan and others will do their best to destroy Yuan, Yuan Shu, and it won't last for three months! ”

To destroy rebellion, it is not only to raise a banner, but also to justifiably grab territory and expand strength, who will miss such a good opportunity?!

Cao Cao naturally understands, but he only hates that the whip is beyond his reach, and he can't get a piece of the pie.

"Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Shi Xie......"

Cao Cao counted these names, sneered, and said: "They are all native chickens and dogs, and my Cao Cao can be destroyed with his backhand!" ”

Guo Jia drank lightly and said, "General, there are still many variables, and we need to look at them again." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "You mean, then Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu will be involved?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Now Yuan Shu has no one to help, and no one dares to help, if Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are under the banner of Wang Shi and thief, no one can say anything." The most dangerous place is Xuzhou. ”

Cao Cao carefully deduced it and said: "I have seen Liu Xuande once, but he is a benevolent person, I am afraid that he will not be able to defend Xuzhou." ”

Guo Jia changed his posture and said more leisurely: "In addition, it is Jizhou." The court held Liu Zhang, and Liu Yan couldn't hold on for long, so it would not be surprising if he did something to force the court to release Liu Zhang. ”

Cao Cao ignored Yizhou, who had been stable and unmoving, his face moved, and he said unwillingly: "Can you only wait?" ”

Guo Jia's gaze fell on the corner of Cao Cao's cold face, and his beard covered most of it, and he couldn't distinguish it clearly.

After pondering for a while, Guo Jia drank again and said, "The general can't move, but it's okay to send some people to support." ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and said, "Okay!" ”

In this way, it is actually equivalent to his participation in it!

Guo Jia really had no choice about Cao Cao's character who made up when he saw the excitement, so he could only taste the wine and shake his head secretly.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's sudden dispatch of troops and the seizure of Qian County, the current situation would not be so embarrassing.

In Qian County, Cao Cao can't advance or retreat, or even move.

Cao Cao naturally knew it, but he had his own plans, untied this knot, snatched Guo Jia's wine, poured it into his mouth, and then said with some emotion: "At the beginning, I had a good relationship with Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, and I only felt that these two brothers were righteous and heroic, and they were famous in the world, and they were willing to make friends with them. But I never thought that it had only been a few years, and Yuan Highway was actually called the emperor...... Hahaha......"

In the end, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

Guo Jia also laughed and shook his head directly.

Yuan Shu's move was really stupid to the extreme.

As long as he keeps a low profile, relying on the prestige of the family and the current complicated situation, the generals may not be able to compete for dominance in the world.

But you have to risk the world's condemnation and kill yourself!

Guo Jia saw very clearly, Yuan Shu was not far from death. The world in the future has nothing to do with Yuan Shu.

On the other side, Yangzhou, Shouchun.

Even if it is late at night, the streets are brightly lit, and the street lamps of every house are colorful, and the color of joy is overflowing.

And even at night, the movement of the construction has not stopped, Yuan Shu's 'palace' is being built, the enthronement ceremony is being prepared, and countless people are rushing for it.

In the corner of the wall is an inconspicuous courtyard, which is quiet and silent, without the slightest light.

An underground vault.

Huangfu Jian knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Huangfu Song's spiritual position, his head was bleeding, and he still didn't stop.

He cried and said something, but no one could hear him.

Behind him stood Cheng Yu and Shi A.

They were equally sad and silent.

The news of Huangfu Song's death came a little late, and today is a special death day.

Huangfu Song's spiritual position is brand new, and next to the incense burner in front of the spiritual seat, there is also a letter.

It is Huangfu Song's own handwriting, a long-lasting, belated letter to Huangfu Jianchang.

For a long time, Huang Fu Jian's face was covered with blood, he got up tremblingly, in pain, and looked at Huang Fu Song's spiritual position in a hoarse voice, and said: "Father, the unfilial son is really unfilial......

Huangfu Jian's words could hear Cheng Yu behind him, and Shi A felt uncomfortable for a while.

Huangfu Jian has always been a gentleman, reckless, I don't know how much he was taught by Huangfu Song, but he never changed.

Now, Huangfu Jian has changed, but he hasn't even been able to see the last side of Huangfu Song.
