Chapter 120: What Majesty Can a False Son of Heaven Have (2/5)
In less than half a stick of incense, Guo Jia and Jia Xu arrived at the palace one after another.
Seeing the two, Liu Xie greeted him for a while, and then asked straight to the point: "Fengxiao, Wenhe, do you know that Cao Thief invited Beihai Kong Rong to Xu County?" β
Guo Jia nodded heavily, and said: "This matter is known to everyone today, the minister and Wen He just came from Yuan Shao's side, and they were about to enter the palace to make a report, but I never thought that Your Majesty already knew." β
Jia Xu said with emotion: "This Cao thief is a good plan, using the reputation of the Kong family to suppress the reputation of the Yuan family. Although Kong Beihai was upright, Kechen was worried that he would be deceived by Cao Thief and admit that he was wrong for the real dragon. If so, it would be a disaster. β
In Jia Xu's heart, he had prepared for the worst.
If Kong Rongzhen was coerced, lured or deceived by Cao Cao, and identified the Son of Heaven of Yecheng as false and the Son of Heaven of Xu County as true, then the situation would be really worrying.
After leaving Yuan Shao's side, he has been discussing with Guo Jia.
In addition to what Tian Feng said, there is no better way to invite Kong Rong to Yecheng.
This feeling of pinning hopes on others makes Jia Xu feel very awkward.
Liu Xie asked quietly: "What do you think Cao Thief is fighting this idea, why do you dare to take the initiative to invite Kong Rong to Xu County?" Isn't he afraid of being exposed? β
In the face of this matter, he could not act too plain, he needed to be properly worried, and he could not show his inner panic.
Otherwise, in front of Jia Xu's essence, it is easy to leak out.
At this point, with his acting skills, he can easily handle it.
Although Jia Xu was uneasy in his heart, he was comforting the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the reason why Cao Thief is like this just shows that he is desperate. Since Lu Bu presented Yuan Shu and the jade seal of the country, everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is the orthodox son of heaven.
If the thief doesn't act again, then he will be convicted of pretending to be the Son of Heaven and will be spurned by the people of the world. Therefore, he found Kong Rong, who was more prestigious than Yuan Shao, to endorse him. β
"As for whether Kong Rong will be in cahoots with Cao Thief...... I don't think this matter is beyond our control. β
Jia Xu thought that if he was Cao Cao, if he couldn't deceive Kong Rong, then he would coerce and lure Qi Shang.
In any case, Kong Rong had to be made to recognize the puppet emperor of Xu County.
Therefore, he was uneasy in his heart, and only hoped that Yuan Shao would also invite Kong Rong and get Yecheng at the first stop. Subsequently, he was granted an official position, and Kong Rong was not allowed to leave Yecheng and go to Xu County.
Guo Jia sighed worriedly: "The minister thinks that the reason why Cao Thief dared to ask Kong Rong to identify the authenticity of the Son of Heaven is obviously that he has bought or coerced the queen and a group of close ministers of the Son of Heaven. If he finds a person who looks similar to His Majesty, and forces the Son of Heaven to commit perjury with his concubine, it is very likely that Kong Rong will be deceived. β
There are no close ministers of the Son of Heaven and those harem concubines around him, which is Liu Xie's biggest weakness.
However, after listening to Guo Jia and Jia Xu's analysis, although the situation was very unfavorable to him, he was relieved in his heart.
Because whether it is Guo Jia or Jia Xu, what they are worried about is that Kong Rong will be deceived and coerced by Cao Cao, and they have no doubt about his identity.
His status as the Son of Heaven does not depend on whether he is a descendant of Gaozu at all, but on whether the military generals under his command approve of him.
As long as enough people recognize him as the Son of Heaven, even the fake can come true.
This is good news for Liu Xie.
But...... This is not enough.
He deliberately showed an unbelievable look, and roared angrily at Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "Duke Yang and the prince are loyal ministers, and the queen is even more affectionate with me and his wife. How can they help the gang commit perjury and help the thief commit perjury? β
"I don't believe it! They will never betray me! β
Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other.
The truth of people's hearts is unpredictable, and the Son of Heaven still doesn't understand.
The hall was quiet for a few breaths, and finally the older Jia Xu said stubbornly: "It is not uncommon for fathers to harm their sons, and wives to harm their husbands. What's more, the courtiers who are in Cao Ying at this time are not the master?
Cao thief fled from Dong Zhuo that year and stayed at Lu Bohao's house. Lu Bohao's five sons warmly entertained him, but he became suspicious and fled by killing eight people during the night.
Afterwards, he even said to Chen Gong that he would rather teach me to bear the world's people, and Hugh asked the world's people to bear me.
With the viciousness of the Cao thief, he will definitely use all means to persecute the queen and others. β
Guo Jia nodded in agreement, "No one is perfect, no matter how loyal and unyielding a person is, he can find weaknesses after all." Not to mention the vicious person of Cao Thief, that is, the minister wants to force Yang Biao, Fu Wan and His Majesty's concubines to commit perjury, and there are dozens of methods available. β
Hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia.
He has personally experienced Guo Jia's methods, and it is indeed difficult to resist.
Guo Jia, who noticed Jia Xu's gaze, couldn't help but show embarrassment.
Using his family to force Jia Xu to submit is indeed quite despicable, but it is very effective.
It is precisely because of this that both he and Jia Xu feel worried, thinking that the close ministers and concubines of the Son of Heaven in Xu County are unreliable.
"How's that okay?" Liu Xie began to panic very appropriately, and said restlessly: "If Kong Rong is deceived by Cao Thief, won't everyone in the world think that I am a pseudo-emperor?" How will I deal with myself then? β
No matter what the future holds, whether Kong Rong recognizes the Son of Heaven in Xu County or not is not something that Liu Xie can decide.
He can only keep hinting at Jia Xu and Guo Jia to strengthen their subconscious that "the Son of Heaven in Xu County is fake".
In this way, even if Kong Rong recognized the Son of Heaven in Xu County, they would only think that Kong Rong was deceived and coerced by Cao Cao.
I will not doubt the authenticity of his Son of Heaven, and I will not abandon him because of this.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much." Guo Jia could only continue to comfort Liu Xie, "Kong Rong is upright, he dared to resentment Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and now he will not be coerced by Cao Thief."
Now that the matter of the true and false Son of Heaven is in an uproar, with Kong Rong as a person, even if he is deceived by Cao thieves in Xu County, he will definitely come to Yecheng to meet His Majesty. β
Jia Xu nodded, "Yes, as long as Kong Rong is not coerced by the Cao thief, Your Majesty can have no worries." A fake is a fake after all, how can a mere pseudo-emperor compare with Your Majesty? Kong Rong only needs to see His Majesty to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. β
Jia Xu's premise is that Kong Rongneng is the same as a few years ago, and he is not coerced.
As long as he doesn't recognize the Son of Heaven in Xu County at the first time, he only needs to come to Yecheng and meet the Son of Heaven in person, and everything will come to an end.
After all, what kind of majesty can a false son of heaven have?
is wearing a dragon robe and a crown, but it is just a monkey crown.
Compare the two, whether it is true or false, and you can tell it in an instant.
"Having said that, I still don't feel at ease......" Liu Xie knew that he was a serious fake, but instead of dispelling his worries because of Jia Xu's words, he became even more melancholy.
He changed the topic and said, "If Kong Rong doesn't come to Yecheng and listens to Cao Thief's words and stays in Xu County, what should I do?" β
At this moment, Liu Xie was extremely hopeful that Kong Rong would be able to recognize the true dragon with his eyes, recognize the Son of Heaven in Xu County on the spot, and don't come to Yecheng.
In this way, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others can still comfort him on the grounds that Kong Rong was deceived by Cao Thief.
But if Kong Rong came to Yecheng and was really seen, it would be a disaster.
I don't know if he will die at that time, but life will definitely not be easy, and the dream of the Son of Heaven of the Three Great Men will come to an abrupt end.
"What if Kong Rong doesn't come to Yecheng?" Guo Jia also thought that Liu Xie was really worried that Kong Rong would not come, so he calmly made an analysis.
"Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu, he is located in the land of Qing, He, and Hebei Prefectures, with many soldiers and generals, and his strength is the strongest among the princes. Although Yuan's reputation is not as good as that of Kong, he is the fourth and third dukes after all. β
"As long as Yuan Shao acknowledges His Majesty, it is Kong Rong who said that the Son of Heaven of Xu County is true, do the princes of the world dare to crusade against Yuan Shao and His Majesty under the banner?"
This world is not a hall of words of the Kong family, even if Kong Rong has great prestige, he can't make a decision in one word.
However, if the roles are reversed, if Kong Rong recognizes the Son of Heaven in Yecheng, plus Yuan Shao's influence and power, then Cao Cao will be finished.
After all, everything is still based on strength.
With Yuan Shao's strength, even if he is infamous as a fake son of heaven, who would dare to easily be an enemy with him?
Of course, in this way, Liu Xie's reputation will also be completely ruined, and he will be beaten as a traitor and a puppet emperor.
In the end, he took Yuan Shao's foundation, which was also extremely unfavorable for him to recruit loyal ministers and celebrities in the future.
β¦β¦
After Liu Xie's edict was issued, Yuan Shao sent people to Beihai for 800 miles as soon as possible, and publicized the matter as much as Cao Cao.
Cao Cao dared to ask Kong Rong to go over to distinguish the authenticity of the Son of Heaven, if he didn't dare, it would be a void of heart.
But few people know that he is really weak-hearted.
He was also roasted on the fire, so he had to ask Kong Rong.
After the initial panic, Yuan Shao and Liu Xie had exactly the same idea, and they both wished that Kong Rong would not come.
At the same time, Xiapi, Lu Bu's mansion.
"Phewβ"
Lu Bu stopped outside the mansion, threw the horsewhip to the little guy who came to greet him, and hurried into the mansion.
"General......
Diao Chan stepped forward to greet him, but before he could greet him, he was interrupted by Lu Bu.
"Where are Madame and Qi'er?" Lu Bu looked around, looking for the figures of Yan and Lu Lingqi.
When Diao Chan heard this, he suddenly showed a look of loss, and said with red eyes: "The general is so blind to the concubine...... Are you tired of concubines? β
Although she is not a jealous woman, it can be seen that Lu Bu ignores her, and only cares about asking Mrs. Yan and Lu Lingqi, and she inevitably cares about it in her heart.
Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly explained: "I misunderstood! I have something important to look for Madame and Qi'er. β
Diao Chan knew the measure, and after complaining, he stopped being petty, and replied: "Madam and Qi'er went to the Taoist temple outside the city, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back until dark...... What's the matter with the general? β
"The partition wall has ears, it's inconvenient here, go to the house and say." Lu Bu lowered his voice, pulled Diao Chan to the wing, and closed all the doors and windows.
Seeing Lu Bu's mysterious appearance, Diao Chan was even more puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but ask again: "General, what is it that you have to be so cautious?" β
"It's a good thing! And it's a great thing! After making sure that the doors and windows were about to close, Lu Bu said excitedly: "Do you know that I went to Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven this time, and what reward did the Son of Heaven give me?" β
Diao Chan thought for a while and said: "With the general's exploits of capturing Yuan Shu and presenting the jade seal of the country, become a general of the chariot and cavalry?" β
Lu Bu was a general of Fenwei before, and this time he has made such a great contribution, and his promotion is certain;
Coupled with the fact that he was so excited, Diao Chan made a bold guess.
However, she didn't seem to be bold enough to guess.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "What is the general of the chariot cavalry, Your Majesty has made me a hussar general and a county duke." If it weren't for Yuan Shao's traitors to stop me, Your Majesty would definitely make me a general. But these are nothing compared to what I'm about to say. β
Speaking of the back, Lu Bu had a smug look on his face.
Diao Chan's beautiful eyes widened, and her pupils almost shook.
Hussar generals are second only to generals.
As for the duke, it was even more appalling.
But Lu Bu actually said that these rewards were not worth mentioning.
Lu Bu, who couldn't hold back and wanted to show off his thoughts, said excitedly: "Guozhang! Your Majesty personally said that he would worship me as his father-in-law, and he would make Qi'er the queen in the future! β
Lu Bu is really going to suffocate to death these days, such a happy event, but no one can say anything.
Now that I finally found someone who could share my secrets and joys, the more I talked, the more excited I became.
"Qi'er is going to be a queen!"
"In the future, her son, my grandson, will be the crown prince of the Han Dynasty and the future son of heaven!"
If it weren't for Liu Xie and Liu Bei's advice, before everything settled, it must not be publicized to the outside world. Lu Bu couldn't wait to run out on the street and shout everywhere, so that everyone in the world would know that he Lu Feng had come out first!
After listening to this, Diao Chan did not have the shock and joy that Lu Bu expected, but reached out and touched his forehead, and wondered: "The general doesn't have a fever either, why did he start talking nonsense?" β
If it was just a hussar general, Diao Chan would have believed it.
After all, Lu Bu's contribution this time is really great.
Can the county princess? This is obviously impossible.
The Han Dynasty has been established for nearly 400 years, and only one usurper, Wang Mang, has ever proclaimed himself the Duke of An Han.
As for Lilu Lingqi as the queen, it is even more nonsense.
Queen Fu is not dead yet.
Even if she died, it would not be Lu Bu's daughter's turn.
Diao Chan pressed Lu Bu to the head of the bed and sat down, and said worriedly: "General, lie down and rest, and the concubine will go and ask the doctor to come over." β
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Lu Bu was anxious, sharing such good news with others, but it turned out to be considered nonsense, how could he bear it?
grabbed Diao Chan, who was about to go out, and swore an oath: "This is what Your Majesty personally promised me!" If I tell half a lie, I'll never be left behind! β
In order to make Diao Chan believe, he even made such a vicious oath.
Although Diao Chan still felt that it was too fantastical, it could be seen that Lu Bu's expression did not seem to be fake, and he finally believed it.
"But doesn't Your Majesty already have a queen? The queen is still here, how can she talk about the new future? The general was deceived by His Majesty. β
Unlike the vulgar martial arts, Diao Chan is a woman with a delicate mind.
In her opinion, even if what Lu Bu said was true, it was most likely that he had been deceived.
"A woman's opinion!" When Lu Bu saw Diao Chan saying bad things about the Son of Heaven, he immediately straightened his face, and said very unhappily: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, Jinkou Yuyan." He has always been close to me, how can he deceive me? β
"And Your Majesty said that Empress Fu was forced by him at the beginning, not his original intention. Moreover, now that the queen is accompanying the fake son of heaven in Xu County, His Majesty must be upset. β
"Besides, I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I have made such a great contribution this time, Your Majesty praises me as a great Han Optimus Jade Pillar! Why can't you make Qi'er the queen? β
He, Lu Fengxian, was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of loyalty, the ability to fight, and the credit to the Han family, who can compare with him today?
His Majesty's appointment of his daughter as Empress is a trust in him and a recognition of him!
Saying that, Lu Bu solemnly warned Diao Chan again: "If today's son is in trouble, it is the time for me to save the sky." You must not speak ill of Your Majesty again, and destroy the friendship between our monarchs and ministers. β
