Chapter 101 Assassin's Uncle Han(1/2)
The second year of Jian'an, the first day of the first lunar month.
Under the arrangement of Cao Cao, Emperor Han Liu Xie completed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven like a puppet.
He looked like many, sitting in the hall of Xudu Imperial City. Liu Xie changed into casual clothes and read the memorials on the table.
Actually, there is no memorial.
Since Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he has ordered the princes to order the princes, and all the government orders come out from Sikong's mansion.
There were not many memorials that could be presented to the Emperor of Han, and most of them were harmless memorials.
On the surface, Liu Xie seemed to not care about this kind of thing, but in his heart, he had long been bored. Thinking about the time when Cao Cao was facing Luoyang, Liu Xie was very moved. You must know that at that time, all the princes stood by and watched, and as the emperor, they almost starved to death in Luoyang City. If Cao Cao had not come to rescue him in time, he might have become a dead person now. It would be impossible to say he was not grateful.
However, as Cao Cao moved his capital to Xu County, his attitude became increasingly strong.
Although Liu Xie was frugal, he was actually like a bird in a cage raised by Cao Cao in the palace and could not do anything at all.
This also made Liu Xie very upset!
He is sixteen years old this year and seventeen years old.
After experiencing the Ten Constables Rebellion and Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Liu Xie had already longed for power.
How to...
In this Xu capital, there are Cao Cao's followers.
Those old ministers who followed him to escape from Chang'an had no soldiers or generals and could not get any say. Although Xun Yu was in the tent of Cao Cao, he still believed that Cao Cao was the minister of the Han Dynasty who revived the Han Dynasty and was more willing to assist Cao Cao.
In this way, how could the Emperor of Han have the right to speak in the court?
Thinking back to the time when Liu Xie escaped from Chang'an, he just didn't want to be controlled by others anymore.
I thought Cao Cao was a loyal minister, but now it seems that he is no different from the former Dong Zhuo and later Li Jue and Guo Si.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie sighed quietly, threw the memorial in his hand on the table, and never looked through it again.
"Your Majesty, why do you sigh?"
A soft voice sounded in my ears.
Liu Xie did not look back and still knew who was coming.
"Zi Tong, why haven't you rested yet?"
The person who came was Liu Xie's wife, that is, the queen of the Han Dynasty, Fu Shou.
She came from a famous family, and her father Fuwan was the seventh generation grandson of the Grand Secretary Fu Zhan, and was hereditary to the marquis.
Fu Wan went to Princess Yang'an, the daughter of Emperor Huan, to be his wife, and gave birth to six sons and one daughter. Because his daughter married into the palace, he was appointed as the General of the Fuguo, and Yitong Sansi. Later, Liu Xie was held hostage by Cao Cao and moved the capital to Xu County. Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong. In order to avoid Cao Cao's suspicion, Fu Wan resigned from the General of the Fuguo, became the Chief of the Zhongsan Doctor, and was moved to the Captain of the Tunqi. In fact, his General of the Fuguo did not have much power, so it would be better to hand it over, so he had already settled Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao appointed Fu Wan as the Captain of the Tunqi, holding 800 troops, but in fact it was useless.
Liu Xie and Fu Shou were very loving. Seeing Fu Shou coming with soup, a warm smile appeared on his face.
Fu Shou glanced at the messy memorial on the table, and while serving Liu Xie, he smiled and said, "Is there any good news?"
"What good news can be found!"
Liu Xie sneered, "Last year, Yanzhou harvested a lot, and Sikong asked for contributions to Yanzhou officials.
Apart from that, it was mostly messy. Anyway, Sikong made a decision in this major event in the court, and I was just a puppet."
Speaking of which, Liu Xie has experienced many hardships and is calm.
But today is the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the New Year.
After being tossed by Cao Cao like he was fiddling with a puppet for a whole day, Liu Xie was naturally not in a good mood.
Fu Shou's face changed, and he quickly looked out, and saw that there was no one in the hall, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, be careful of your words."
"Be careful of your words, be careful of your words!"
Liu Xie suddenly became irritable, stood up and put the soup bowl, and said angrily: "Zi Tong, you say that this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty. Why, as the emperor, I know nothing about the matter outside the palace? Sikong's monopoly power is what is different from Dong Zhuo?"
"His Majesty!"
Fu Shou hurriedly reached out and pressed it on Liu Xie's mouth.
She turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall, looked out, and then she turned back and pulled Liu Xie to sit down.
Liu Xie also knew that he had just said something. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and sweated profusely.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the world is naturally the world of the Han Dynasty... But now the princes take over power, your Majesty must be even more calm and must not lose their composure."
"What Zi Tong said is that I just said nothing."
Fu Shou looked at Liu Xie's slightly pale face because of fear, and couldn't help but feel ache in his heart.
She is not much different from Liu Xie's age, but she has followed Liu Xie and experienced various verbal words.
In addition, he was born into an official family, and Fu Shou had seen too many intrigues, so at some point, he was more calm than Liu Xie.
She hesitated for a moment and took out a memorial from her sleeve.
"I want to congratulate you first."
"oh?"
Liu Xie calmed down his emotions, looked at Fu Shou in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Zi Tong, where does the joy come from?"
"After reading this memorial, your Majesty knows what I am talking about."
Liu Xie took the memorial in confusion, opened it, and glanced under the light, his face suddenly changed.
He quickly sat up straight and finished reading carefully.
"Zi Tong, what is said above, are you serious?"
"really!"
"Why haven't I gotten a little bit of news?"
Fu Shou laughed and said, "This matter is a shame for Sikong, and he is unwilling to mention it."
This memorial was not transferred from Sikong's Mansion. At noon, His Majesty took the stage to worship the sky, and his father secretly gave the memorial to me and asked me to hand it over to His Majesty. He heard that this matter had spread, and Gaomi Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng even sent someone to send me a memorial to the court, expressing his willingness to prove the matter and ask the court to restore his identity. This incident also made the famous scholars in Yingchuan quite embarrassed.
I listened to my father's words that Zhong Yuanchang broke into Sikong's Mansion for this matter and asked Sikong to forgive him...
If even Zhong Yao comes forward, it means that this matter should be true. No matter what, this person is also a member of the Han royal family and is of the same clan as Your Majesty. Since he has such ability, he can defeat powerful enemies all the way... Hehe, why don’t Your Majesty win this person over?"
Liu Xie put down his memorial and pondered without saying a word.
After a while, he whispered: "Then I will hand over the memorial to Sikong in the morning court tomorrow?"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Fu Shou panicked when he heard this and hurriedly stopped him, "If Your Majesty handed over the memorial, Sikong will definitely follow the source. At that time, not only will His Majesty be hard to say, but even those who have been secretly sending news to us will be in trouble.
In fact, Your Majesty only needs to know this.
In the morning court tomorrow, Your Majesty asked inadvertently, and Sikong had never been able to investigate."
Liu Xie thought about it, nodded, and agreed.
He picked up the memorial again, and after a glance, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Zi Tong, this is the world that will not destroy the man!"
When Fu Shou saw the smile on Liu Xie's face, he couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
The next morning court, Liu Xie listened to the court discussion like a puppet in the Golden Palace as before.
While Cao Cao was about to disperse the court, Liu Xie made an unexpected statement.
"Cao Sikong, wait."
Cao Cao had already stepped out of the threshold of the hall with one foot, but when he heard Liu Xie speak, he took it back and looked at Liu Xie in confusion.
"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
"Cao Sikong, all the dukes... I heard the eunuchs in the palace talk in private yesterday, saying that the Marquis of Zhongling had a queen but could not return home? But this is the case!"
"ah……"
Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Xiehui suddenly asked about this matter.
He never wanted to mention Liu Chuang's matter... Before, Zhong Yao and Xun Yu and others pleaded with him. Cao Cao had no energy to take care of Liu Chuang because he was about to start a war with Zhang Xiu and had no energy to take care of Liu Chuang. However, he did not intend to promote it because of this matter... what he said was too shameless. His dignified Cao Cao was actually deceived and mistakenly thought that the Han royal family and the famous scholars later became thieves, and ended up with a family that they could not return... If this kind of thing was spread, it would be a shame to Cao Cao.
According to Cao Cao's plan, it would not be too late to deal with Liu Chuang after he dealt with Zhang Xiu.
It's amazing to save him a lifetime and imprison him in Yingchuan, which can be regarded as the complete reputation of Liu Tao at that time.
But now, Liu Xie suddenly mentioned it, leaving him completely unprepared.
Before he could answer, he saw a man walk out of the court officials, "Is the Marquis of Zhongling that Your Majesty said? Is it Liu Ziqi of Yingchuan back then?"
“That’s right!”
"Ziqi is not a successor, so how can there be a saying about the descendant?"
Liu Xie said: "I also find it strange, so I want to ask if this is really the case.
Mr. Tao is a famous scholar and is upright. He was harmed by the Ten Eunuchs. Now I think about it, but I still feel a little sad. If Mr. Zi Qi really has a descendant, he must not let him wander among the people and be bullied by the little girl. I would like to ask Sikong, Liu Chuang, is he the true descendant of the Marquis of Zhongling?"
Acknowledge, or not?
Cao Cao knew very well that Liu Chuang was now stealing the Beihai and was missing a reputation.
