Chapter 118: Ask Beihai Kong Rong to identify the authenticity of the Son of Heaven
Half an hour later, Jia Xu and Guo Jia also retired.
The two chatted as they walked outside the palace.
Looking at the gorgeous sunset in the distance, Jia Xu suddenly sighed: "Your Majesty has changed too much. I really didn't expect that in just a few years, I would grow from that childish child to the point where I am today. Although he has not yet weakened the crown, he already has the heart of the emperor. β
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been really difficult for him to associate the current Son of Heaven with the childish child many years ago.
Because it's not like the same person at all.
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled noncommittally.
He is not like Jia Xu, he met Liu Xie a few years ago.
But he knows very well that Liu Xie, who just came to Yecheng, is completely different from today.
"Today's blessing of Towen and Duke Wen, Jia is angry when he sees His Majesty for the first time."
As soon as Jia Xu heard it, he knew that Guo Jia was teasing himself and Lu Bu, so he scolded angrily: "Okay, you Guo Fengxiao, don't want to drink the remaining plum wine in my house!" β
"How can you do that? I'm just kidding! Guo Jia was dumbfounded, and when he saw Jia Xu walking away, he hurriedly caught up, "Brother Wenhe, you go slowly......"
The figures of the two drifted apart, blending in with the twilight.
In the shadows, Gao Ran is like a ghost, investigating all possible accidents, responsible for the security of the palace and the secrets of the Son of Heaven.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Liu Xie received news that Lu Bu and Liu Bei had embarked on the road back.
Zhen Mi also wanted to go to Wuji County with the convoy of Zhen's firm on this day.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is leaving."
Before leaving, Zhen Mi snuggled in Liu Xie's arms, full of reluctance.
It will take at least a month for her to go.
Now is the period of love with Liu Xie, and she can't help but feel sad when she thinks of not being able to be by Liu Xie's side for so long.
Liu Xie touched Zhen Mi's hair and said, "Don't be reluctant to give up your concubine, when you return to the palace in condolence, I will teach you a human body sketch." β
"Body sketches?"
Zhen Mi was a little curious, she only knew sketching, but she didn't know what a human sketch was.
Liu Xie smiled, leaned over and whispered a few words, Zhen Mi's fair cheeks turned red in an instant, and he gently slapped Liu Xie's chest, a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty knows how to bully concubines."
Just when the two of them were sweet, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, your nobleman's carriage is waiting outside the palace." β
Liu Xie nodded, and let go of the reluctant Zhen Mi: "Concubine Ai, I am waiting for you to come back in the palace." β
Zhen Mi saluted Liu Xie and left with the eunuch.
She has to go home to mourn her second brother, and she has to convince the elders in the family, no matter how reluctant she is, she can't do anything in her heart.
Just took two steps and glanced back at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie stood in place with a smile on his face, and the smile slowly dissipated until Zhen Mi's figure disappeared at the palace gate.
Rubbing his face that was a little stiff with a smile, Liu Xie sighed tiredly: "A woman in love is really terrible." β
Since the relationship with Zhen Mi has become deeper and deeper, he found that under the appearance of Zhen Mi's cold goddess, he is actually a love brain + sticky spirit!
Not to mention that he is obedient to take and take, and he has to pester him almost every day.
This kind of love brain that even the Son of Heaven is entangled in, no wonder he was killed out of jealousy in history.
"Now it's up to her to bring back the good news." Liu Xie was nervous and looking forward to it.
Although countless wealthy families in history have sacrificed everything for that supreme power, he doesn't know if the Zhen family will do the same.
After standing in place for a while, Liu Xie did not return to his dormitory, but went to another side hall.
Zhen Mi is too clingy, and he doesn't have a chance to meet the three beauties sent by Boss Yuan these days.
Now is the time to take advantage of the opportunity.
"I don't covet their beauty, I do this to keep Yuan Shao from being suspicious...... Alas, I sacrificed too much. β
"It's all to blame on Yuan Shao's old thief!"
Liu Xie sighed and quickened his pace.
β¦β¦
Yingchuan.
Since Shouchun was occupied by LΓΌ Bu, Cao Cao withdrew to Yingchuan.
The purpose of his army was to capture Shouchun and retrieve the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand by the way.
Now that his purpose has been frustrated, there is no need for him to stay.
As for the scramble for Yangzhou, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren are responsible.
There was something else that really bothered him right now.
"Lu Bu, this horseman is really stupid! How could he believe Yuan Shao's traitorous words and hand over the jade seal of the country in vain! β
"And Chen Gong! With his resourcefulness, can't he see that Yuan Shao is pretending to be the Son of Heaven? Letting Lu Bu go to Yecheng is obviously holding a grudge against me and taking the opportunity to take revenge! β
Above the lobby, Cao Cao was furious in front of a group of strategists.
During this time, he was appeasing Mrs. Ding, who was going to reconcile with him, and appeasing the major families in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which can be said to be very busy.
As a result, before he was done, he received the news that Lu Bu had met the Son of Heaven in Yecheng and presented the jade seal of the country.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him!
Because this means that Lu Bu admits that the Son of Heaven in Yecheng, the people of the world who don't know the truth will inevitably believe Yuan Shao's nonsense.
Yuan Shao IV and the third duke endorsed, coupled with Lu Bu's approval, and there was a jade seal in hand.
The fake son of heaven in Yecheng is more like the real one, but the real son of heaven here in Xu County is like a fake!
Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Yang Xiu, Cheng Yu and others at the banquet all had heavy faces, and they were also worried about the news.
"My lord, we must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the people of the world are ignorant and really think that the Lord has set up a false Son of Heaven. Xun Yu opened his mouth with a very serious expression.
The current situation is already very unfavorable for them.
If you don't find a way to prove yourself as soon as possible, not only will the Son of Heaven lose all his prestige, but Cao Cao's reputation will also be ruined, and the major families behind him will have to leave one after another.
After all, who would dare to support a rebel minister who pretended to establish the Son of Heaven?
Cao Cao scolded Yuan Shao a few words angrily before calming down a little.
"What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, you guys come up with a way as soon as possible!"
Shouchun didn't take it, and now even the Son of Heaven is about to become a fake.
Cao Cao's mentality has collapsed a little.
Even the calm demeanor of the past is difficult to maintain.
He now wants to prove that it was Yuan Shao who pretended to establish the Son of Heaven more than the Son of Heaven himself!
But Yuan Shao's reputation was originally better than him, and now he is recognized by Lu Bu, who captured Yuan Shu.
The situation is very unfavorable to him.
Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult, it's really difficult." β
Xun Yu and Xun Yu also had ugly faces and sighed.
They thought about letting the Son of Heaven's close ministers and even the queen come forward to testify.
But Yuan Shao only needed one sentence to block them - the court officials and harem concubines were all coerced by Cao Cao.
After all, Dong Zhuo's cholera court is still vivid.
Under the guidance of Yuan Shao, many people will think that Cao Cao is the second Dong Zhuo.
Yang Xiu on the side opened his mouth slightly, and seemed to have an idea.
Xun You was keenly aware of it, and immediately asked, "What good way did Dezu think of?" β
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were all focused on Yang Xiu.
"It's a bit of a superficial suggestion." Yang Xiu smiled slightly, stood up from the banquet, tilted his head and said, "Since Da Sikong's reputation is not comparable to Yuan Shao, why don't you find someone more famous than Yuan Shao to identify the authenticity of the Son of Heaven?" β
After Yang Xiu finished speaking, the entire lobby fell silent.
Everyone was secretly thinking about the feasibility of it.
"Wonderful! Great! Cao Cao slapped his thigh, looking very excited.
"Dezu's plan is wonderful!" Cheng Yu also agreed.
The reason why the Son of Heaven of Yecheng can convince the people of the world is because of the endorsement of Yuan Shao and Lu Bu, and the people of the world believe in the reputation of Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke, and believe in the exploits of Lu Bu in capturing Yuan Shu!
Then just find someone who is more famous than Yuan Shao to identify the authenticity of the Son of Heaven?
Such a simple solution is not to blame for a group of them not being able to think of it.
Instead, their minds were all on the group of important ministers of the court who came to Xu County with the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven's close ministers and the queen all said that the Son of Heaven in Xu County was real, who could question it?
Yuan Shao can!
He declared to the public that the Son of Heaven was unwilling to become a puppet and fled all the way to Yecheng.
The courtiers and the queen were all coerced.
This sentence alone can make people question Cao Cao and question the authenticity of the Son of Heaven in Xu County.
Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask everyone: "Do you think who in the world has a more prominent reputation and family background than Yuan Shao, and is willing to take on the important task of identifying the authenticity of the Son of Heaven?" β
Cheng Yu said: "How about Yang Gong and Fu Gong? β
Yang Gong and Fu Gong are talking about Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao, and Guozhang Fu Wan.
Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and he was not inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of background, and his prestige as a veteran minister of the court was extremely high.
As for Fu Wan, he is the queen's father, and he is naturally qualified to prove the authenticity of the Son of Heaven.
"No."
Xun Yu immediately shook his head and rejected Cheng Yu's proposal, "If Duke Yang and Duke Fu tell the people of the world that the Son of Heaven of Xu County is true, the people of the world will only think that it is the coercion of the lord." β
"Not only Duke Fu and Duke Yang, but all the close ministers of the Son of Heaven in Xu Du are not suitable."
Xun Yu's words directly narrowed the range of choices again.
Seeing that everyone was pondering, Yang Xiu smiled again and said, "What do you think of Beihai Kong Rong?" β
