Good morning! Three Kingdoms Workers Section 372
Yuan Shao's army has begun to besiege the city, for Zang Ziyuan, what is it like to be trapped in a lonely city?
In what mood did he give this order?
"Zang Ziyuan has never abandoned the city and left, his good intentions, Your Majesty should be aware of it."
Liu Ye waited under the Danqi for a long time, but he did not show any arrogant, angry, or impatient looks.
The Son of Heaven announced that he had entered the palace, and after saluting, he immediately lowered his head to the proper position, like any courtier who came to enter the palace, like any clan that was sincerely afraid.
Therefore, the Son of Heaven's dissatisfaction with Cao Cao gradually disappeared when he saw his cold red hands, ears, and clear and gentle face.
"His good intentions, didn't he tell the world about Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions?"
"This is one of them."
The Son of Heaven frowned puzzled, "What about the second one?" β
"Zang Hong guards the main road of Dongjun County, and the idea of Yuan Shao going south to attack the capital is the second one."
The Son of Heaven's pupils contracted for a moment.
"How dare he do such a rebellious thing?!"
Liu Ye bowed and saluted, but did not speak.
He didn't need to speak, the Son of Heaven thought for himself.
There was a brief sound of a charcoal fire bursting open in the hall, but it was quickly overshadowed by the sound of the Son of Heaven's robe swinging.
The Son of Heaven did begin to think for himself, and he was a little impetuous.
Liu Ye's eyes were always fixed on the ground, but it was as if he had eyes on the top of his head, and even the expression of the Son of Heaven at this time was nine out of ten.
must have already had a guess in his heart, and he wanted to say it but was afraid that the courtiers would guess his thoughts, so he pretended to be unfathomable and said plainly:
"What does Yuan Shao want?"
"There are only a few thousand soldiers in Zang Ziyuan City, but Yuan Shao has requisitioned 50,000 troops," Liu Ye said calmly, "I am afraid that I want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes." β
"Humph! Luoyang City is tall and thick, there are my Han clan relatives outside, and Wen Hou guards inside, Yuan Shao is really a wolf with ambition, how can I be afraid of him! β
Liu Ye was not surprised by this reaction at all, "Which clan member is Your Majesty afraid of?" β
"Liu Zhang in Shu-"
"Liu Zhang's road out of Shu has been cut off by Zhang Lu, and they have attacked each other in the past few years, with heavy casualties."
"Jingzhou Liu Biao-"
"Liu Biao's suburbs worship the world, and imitate the ritual of the society."
The Emperor stood up at the top and took a few anxious steps back and forth.
"Xuzhou Liu Bei, what about him?!"
Liu Ye raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If it is Liu Bei, the general of Zuo, I heard that there was a mulberry tree growing in his home when he was young, more than five zhang high, and he looked at Tong Tong like a car cover from afarββ"
The Emperor was stunned.
"Therefore when he was young, he said, 'I will ride in this chariot.' β
"Nonsense!" The Son of Heaven said angrily, "It's just a naughty boy's joke, and your heart can be punished!" β
Liu Ye lowered his head again and stopped talking.
Jokes are naturally jokes, but if they have the strength to covet the Jade Throne, nonsense will become terrifying.
The Son of Heaven began to pace slowly in the hall again.
"Puyang may not fall, the matter of the eastern tour ......"
"If Puyang falls, everything will be late," Liu Ye immediately said, "Your Majesty knows that the Jizhou cavalry light cavalry is three hundred miles in one day and one night!" β
"Even so, Cao Caoβ"
He didn't continue, but Liu Ye immediately sensed the weakness and vacillation in the words of the Son of Heaven.
"Although Duke Cao and Liu Bei and Dong Cheng have attacked each other, he has also received the grace of the country, and he dare not or forget, Your Majesty does not miss him for his loyalty, but also for his hard work when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo," Liu Ye took a step forward, his eyes flushed, "Your Majesty, he has never lived up to Your Majesty!" β
"But he went against his fate......"
"Dong Cheng is tyrannical and arrogant, and the world has heard of it," Liu Ye immediately said, "Could it be that Cao Gong's sincerity can't compare to him as a Xiliang person?" β
Once again, the Son of Heaven fell into hesitation.
"Your Majesty, Zang Ziyuan is loyal," Liu Ye said with tears in his eyes, and his voice choked, "Your Majesty must not let it down!" β
The young Son of Heaven frowned and thought for a while.
He really wanted to make a wise judgment, but the person in front of him was so sincere, swearing, the logic was so clear, and the reason was so clear, it seemed that this path should only go in the direction he pointed.
The Son of Heaven finally made up his mind.
"This is a big matter, and I should consult with my ministers before making a decision."
Regarding the matter of whether to tour the east, the Son of Heaven finally announced that a court meeting would be convened to discuss it, so the Deyang Hall on this day immediately fell into chaos.
The ministers had their own opinions, some felt that Cao Cao was okay, some were more optimistic about Liu Bei, and some felt that they could eat the 50,000 stone grain.
At the court meeting, they began to talk and argue endlessly.
On the way to the Deyang Palace, a minister turned his head to look at the scribe standing at the foot of the steps, waiting to be summoned, and then exchanged glances, wanting to assess what kind of thoughts the envoy from Yanzhou had.
But Yang Biao didn't look at him.
He walked up to the temple with a blank face, and remained silent throughout the quarrel.
In his opinion, the fact that the Son of Heaven had privately summoned Cao Cao's envoy was in itself a dangerous signal.
But at this time, it was not his turn to speak, he thought, since Dezu had already persuaded Lu Bu, at least let this reckless guy stand up first.
The Son of Heaven coughed, and the ministers below gradually regained their solemn faces.
He looked left and right, as if he felt that no matter who he asked, he would not be able to get a satisfactory answer, and finally set his eyes on Lu Bu, who was also the leader of the last army and horse in Luoyang City, and was also his father-in-law.
This person has an honest temperament, and he will definitely not deceive him, the Son of Heaven thought.
"Wen Hou, what do you want?"
Lu Bu, who was wearing a martial crown and a red official robe, didn't seem to expect the Son of Heaven to ask him here, his body suddenly moved, and then he walked out of the team carefully.
"Your Majesty instead of going to Yanzhou, it is better to go to Xiapi, except for Zang Hong, only Liu Bei has done his best to prepare grain and grass, and ordered the ministers to travel thousands of miles to bring Luoyang to worship Your Majesty."
The ministers who supported Cao Cao glanced at each other.
Dong Zhao spoke in a rather calm tone, "Your Majesty, at this time, at that time, Zang Hong was still there, and now Xuzhou and Luoyang are separated by more than 1,000 miles, and the road is impassable, how can the royal car reach it?" β
Lu Bu seemed to have been thinking about this question for a long time, and when he heard this rhetorical question, he immediately showed a smug look on his face.
"Since Cao Cao sent an envoy to show his loyalty, why didn't Your Majesty ask the envoy?" Lu Bu said quite complacently, "If he is really a loyal minister, send troops to escort the Son of Heaven to Xiapi!" β
Yang Biao turned his head violently and looked at this brave general with a look of surprise!
Such a stupid idea! How could he figure it out!
After Liu Ye went to the palace, he listened to Lu Bu's idea, and did not refuse in a panic as this Wen Hou imagined.
He immediately kowtowed excitedly, indicating that wherever the Son of Heaven wanted to go, Duke Cao would send troops to escort the Son of Heaven to wherever he went!
Pack to eat! Wrap up! Package escort!
"Cao Gong's heart to serve the country with his fist, and he wants to welcome His Majesty in person! I only hate the villain to isolate the inside and outside, and even to this day! Liu Ye's voice trembled slightly, "If Your Majesty wants to tour Xuzhou eastward, Duke Cao will escort him in person, and he will not dare to slack off for a moment!" β
Lu Bu froze.
The Son of Heaven was also stunned.
Leaving Yang'an, Jia Xu, who was heading to Luoyang, was also very surprised when he heard the news.
"How could Cao Cao really escort the Son of Heaven to Xiapi?" The eldest son, Jia Mu, who had been following his father's side, scolded, "Lu Bu's move is as stupid as a pig!" β
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled secretly, "Although he is stupid, he just did us a great favor." β
Chapter 341
At that day's court meeting, after the initial sluggishness, the reaction of the crowd was different.
A hesitant look appeared on the face of the Son of Heaven, a joy that could not be concealed appeared on Dong Zhao's face, and Yang Biao frowned.
And Lu Bu still maintained a stunned expression.
Why did Cao Cao agree to escort the Son of Heaven to Xiapi?
Aren't Cao Cao and Liu Bei enemies attacking each other?
He made such a suggestion, originally wanting Cao Cao's envoy to flatly refuse, and then fall into a moral dilemma!
β¦β¦ Lu Bu's eyes were full of great doubts, and he looked at Liu Ye in a daze.
But it was just a moment of silence, and Yang Biao had already spoken out.
"Your Majesty, it's a cold year, the road is icy, and it is expected that Yuan Shao will not be able to break through Dongjun, so why don't you order Fei Tinghou to arrange the general affairs on the road, and then go on the eastern tour when the spring warms up."
When Yang Biao said this, Liu Ye's eyes did not look in the direction of this old minister of the Han family for a moment, his expression was very stable, it seemed that His Majesty's eastward tour was the same for him a day earlier or a day later.
Such a suggestion was very gentle and to the point, and this Son of Heaven obviously trusted Yang Biao very much, and after listening to his words, he nodded and agreed.
The pilgrimage ends.
Yang Biao is in a high position, standing in the front row during the court, and going out first when he leaves the hall, his steps are not slow, and his expression has not changed at all.
But he didn't even look at Lu Bu, who proposed.
This subtle move was seen by the courtiersβthe road was very dangerous, and after they looked at each other, they also followed the worry and rushed out.
In the entire Deyang Palace, only Lu Bu couldn't figure it out.
β¦β¦ Not only did I lose my head, but I didn't feel like I had made any mistakes.
β¦β¦ But he still had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
