Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1496 Xu Du's Morning

In Xudu City, this was a night of turmoil. There were flames everywhere, and the deafening shouts of killing really frightened the people of Xudu. All the streets and workshops were closed.

But the night will always pass, and the light will always come.

When the warm sunshine covered the earth, many people were surprised to find that the shouts and killings that had filled the whole night suddenly disappeared.

Xu all quieted down.

It felt as peaceful as ever.

Some more courageous people began to quietly open the door of the house, holding their own curiosity, and went out to have a look.

At this time, the streets have returned to calm, let alone corpses, not even blood left.

All they saw was a row of soldiers of the Wei Army patrolling. These were armored soldiers, and they could be seen at a glance as elites on the battlefield.

This puts a lot of people at ease.

They started to walk out of the house one after another, wanting to see what happened last night. After all, curiosity is the nature of everyone's existence. As long as it does not threaten their lives, they will all want to find out.

"King Wei is back!"

Soon, some people saw the court's conclusion about what happened last night from some notices, but these people paid more attention to the subsequent signing.

King Wei's signing made countless people feel at ease.

"It turns out that King Wei is back!"

"It was the king of Wei who brought troops back from the front to quell the chaos!"

"No wonder it was just a night of turmoil, today it is quiet and peaceful!"

"It's still King Wei who can protect our people!"

"With King Wei here, we can rest assured, at least we don't have to worry about them rushing in!"

"..."

The people of Xudu trusted Cao Cao more.

Cao Cao had a lot of choices when he coerced the emperor to order the princes, but in the end he chose to make Xu County the capital. Even though the Central Plains court was less deterrent than before, it was still the seat of the court and the capital.

This time, the establishment of the capital made Xu County skyrocket, and countless people in Xu County made their lives better because of this. Naturally speaking, for the people, they relied more on Cao Cao.

The principle of the common people is very simple, we will trust whoever makes us live a good life, we will support whoever can protect us, and whoever makes us unable to make money, the emperor and I will turn against him.

These are simple people.

The best people to use are also the easiest people.

"It turned out that the turmoil last night was caused by the cavalry general Dong Cheng colluding with the servants around the emperor, and the ruler of the dynasty, Fu Wan, who joined forces to put His Majesty under house arrest. The Wang family is forcing the king of Wei to fight on the front line!"

"hateful!"

"A mere chariot general is so bold!"

"There is also the head of the country, His Majesty trusts him so much, he actually wants to usurp the throne, and even hurt the empress because of it!"

"I heard that the Queen Mother died to protect His Majesty!"

"This Dong Guiren is too hateful, holding His Majesty's favor, wanting the Phoenix throne, and helping his father rebel, he deserves to be beheaded!"

"Your Majesty is the most pitiful!"

"If it wasn't for King Wei's insight into the opportunity, I am afraid that His Majesty would have died at the hands of thieves, and the Han court would be in jeopardy!"

"..."

The turmoil last night, in the clearly pasted announcement, seems to have had a result, the matter of the clothes and belts was buried, and the role of the emperor in this matter was also understated.

It seems that everything is on Dong Chenghe and Fu Wan's body. Their names will be written in the history of the world, and they will become rebellious officials and thieves.

........................

The people are the best to be fooled. In order to appease Xu Du, Cao Cao asked Wei Wangfu to make up a story. Of course, this story can only deceive the ignorant people.

In fact, what happened last night, not to mention everyone in the capital city, most people with a little vision can see it.

Who is in unrest.

Who is setting the trap.

They all know it.

But since ancient times, winners and losers, winners always represent justice, while losers can only bear the consequences of failure.

"Go up!"

Early in the morning, the imperial edict had already been issued from the palace.

Just after the turmoil, when he suddenly wanted to go to court, everyone knew that it represented someone's will. At this time, no one dared to rebel against Cao Cao, and countless ministers began to rush to the palace.

When they walked into the court hall, they would subconsciously look around, and naturally found that many figures were missing.

What happened last night involved a lot, and it was the biggest turmoil since Xudu was established.

In the entire court, at least one-third of the courtiers have already fallen into it. Those who followed Dong Chengfu to make trouble were either beheaded or sent to prison.

This time, Cao Cao didn't intend to appease, and went to war, combing through the names of the belts, as well as some lists provided by Yang Biao and others.

The royalists were almost wiped out by him.

The house ransacked before dawn, and before the court, more than a dozen ministers were sent to prison after their houses were ransacked.

"Looks like the Son of Heaven lost a bit miserably last night!"

"If he is his puppet, he can live longer, but he insists on fighting against the King of Wei, let alone losing the fight, even if he wins the fight, he will not be able to fight against the King of Wei. In the end, he can only be let The king of Wei really turned his back on him, and the soldiers surrounded Xudu, so that our days of peace will never come back!"

"If you say that the king of Wei has a deep plan!"

"He just lost to the Ming army on the front line, and now he has returned to Xudu. Isn't he afraid that the Ming army will raid the border and come in?"

"There's a fire in the backyard, and he can't do it if he doesn't come back!"

"Let's live with our tails tightly in the future, otherwise we will really anger King Wei. We might have the head that was cut off in the market this morning!"

Officials from the previous dynasty had already arrived one after another, but the most important figures had not yet arrived, such as the Son of Heaven, such as the King of Wei, so above the main hall, the courtiers gathered in twos and threes and began to chat.

They can stand here, naturally they are not royalists, but they are not necessarily from the line of King Wei. Cao Wei's foundation in the court is very weak.

They serve the imperial court, stabilize the imperial court, and perform their own duties, but they are not considered to be of that faction. For the dramas of fighting for power and profit, they are more watching the drama.

"I heard that what happened yesterday was caused by the empress having an affair with Prince Wei's son!"

"That's what I said, but who would believe it!"

"I think it's all the emperor's strategy!"

"The Son of Heaven is ruthless enough to throw out the empress as bait. This bloody edict has come out. King Wei and the others want to cover it up, but they can't cover it up!"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's true. The prince of Wei is full of blood. His majesty loves Dong Guiren and neglects the empress empress. Then maybe the empress empress also wants to choose a camp to stand in!"

"That's hard to explain!"

"The emperor has issued a blood edict, and this can be explained clearly!"

The words of these ministers are more and more inclined to gossip. They always want to find out the secrets of the palace.

Their voices fell into the ears of Xun Yu, Yang Biao and others who were standing straight in front, but they didn't show any expressions, and they didn't even try to stop them.

The emperor's ruthlessness is only on the bright side, but Cao Cao is even more ruthless. If you want to talk about this matter, Cao Cao didn't notice anything. It's impossible. When the clothes belt came out, Cao Cao should have been alert.

But the reason for his indulgence, nowadays, many people can't tell, including Xun Yu and Yang Biao, they all know Cao Cao, but they have no way to guess Cao Cao.

"His Royal Highness King Wei is here!"

There was a sharp voice outside the door, and the ministers suddenly became silent.

Cao Cao, king of Wei, didn't even change his official robes, but directly put on his armor and went to the hall. Such awe-inspiring aura immediately made all the civil and military officials feel a chill.

When he walked up to the courtiers, the golden rooster was independent, quiet but seemed overwhelmed.

"His Majesty is here!"

The Son of Heaven also came, and with the support of a very strange servant, wearing a flat sky crown and a brocade dragon robe, he walked up and knelt down in front of all the officials.

His face was pale and his eyes were dull.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the ministers knelt down and worshiped.

Including Cao Cao, they all showed a very respectful attitude, as if what happened last night had never existed, as if there was no gap between them and the emperor, and they looked like all the officials.

"You Aiqings are flat!"

The Son of Heaven spoke first: "Last night there were rebellious ministers and thieves who committed rebellion and almost hurt me. I feel dangerous. From today onwards, I need to rest and recuperate my body. I entrust the affairs of state affairs to the King of Wei. Matter, from today onwards, pardon will be the regent and lead the government, as if I were here in person!"

All the ministers were a little surprised when they heard the words, they looked left and right with their eyes, but peeked at each other.

Judging from the situation, they had expected the emperor to lose.

But they didn't expect that the emperor lost so simply, and gave up the final struggle so simply, and called out the court directly, which surprised them a bit.

"Your majesty's respect is so high, you should do your best for the great man, and die!"

Cao Cao took the order safely.

Killing hearts.

He killed the emperor's heart, and it will be difficult for the emperor to recover for a while. This state is more appropriate, and this is what he wants to see.

He did so much more for once and for all.

In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, he needs [-]% of his energy. In the future, he will not have so much energy to fight wits and courage with the emperor. It is best to let him settle down.

"Your Majesty, I have a request!"

"The regent is welcome, please speak!" The emperor was kind and expressionless, like a walking dead, and he didn't have a big reaction to anything.

"The Queen's Empress died, Dong Guiren was killed, and the harem withered, which is really not conducive to the succession of the Han family. Although the minister's daughter is not beautiful, she also has a little literary talent. I invite her to enter the palace and serve the emperor!"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and said.

"The regent has a heart, and I agree!"

The Son of Heaven sighed, what Cao Cao was worried about, he was no longer willing to guess, anyway, it was like this, there was a spy by his side, nothing more.

But the more Cao Cao talked about this, the more depressed the emperor felt. He thought of Fushou, the clever woman who had experienced wind and rain by his side, and ended up miserable.

What have you done in your life.

....................................

The early court was a bit simple, the emperor just issued some simple edicts, on the one hand to enhance the power of Cao Wei's party, on the other hand to directly draw a conclusion on what happened last night.

After the morning court, they went back to their respective government offices to digest the events of the day and night. After all, these events were enough for them to digest for a while.

Wei Wangfu.

Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the seat and was warming the wine. The jug was placed on the hot charcoal. Gradually, the wine became warm. He took a long cloth, picked up the jug, and poured the wine directly.

"Drink a glass of wine, suppress the shock!"

Cao Cao poured tea for Xun Yu himself.

"Yes!"

Xun Yu calmly held up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Your Majesty's wine is not pure enough!"

"No idea!"

Cao Cao grinned, and the smile was so calm: "This wine has been mixed with water!"

Grain is the plight of every prince. The grain in the Central Plains is also a big problem. There is not much grain that can be used to make wine. Even Wei Wangfu does not have much wine, and it can be drunk for a long time by mixing water.

"Would it taste better with some water?" Xun Yu asked while playing with the wine cup.

"Who knows!"

Cao Cao shrugged and said, "You have to drink it to understand, don't you!"

"Your Majesty seems to have lost a lot in this battle!" Xun Yu narrowed his eyes.

It depends on people's qi, Cao Cao's qi is actually so stable, it is not because he was taught too much on the battlefield, he would not have such a magnanimity.

Only when people go through difficulties can they become better, including their temper.

If it was Cao Cao in the past, Xun Yu felt that it would not be impossible for him to receive some warnings, or go to jail directly.

After all, last night, his position was problematic, and he couldn't escape if he pursued it.

"Let Mulongtu teach me a lesson!" Cao Cao is a very frank person. For example, when he killed Lu Boshe's family back then, he dared to say what he did. There is nothing to hide. You must admit: "It is true that the loss is quite miserable!"

"New weapons?"

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Not only!" Cao Cao shook his head: "The fortune of heaven and earth, all lost!"

Perhaps on the battlefield, he was defeated only because of the Ming army's new weapons, but in fact, he lost from the very beginning, and he lost because of his impatience. The more anxious he was, the more he was led away by the Ming army.

"Then what is your Majesty going to do?" Xun Yu asked.

"If you fight against the outside world, you must settle down inside!" Cao Cao said calmly.

"Take power!"

Xun Yu spat out two words.

"You say yes!" Cao Cao did not deny that from now on, he would gather all the authority in the Central Plains and never allow the fire in the backyard to affect the great cause.

"A certain has always believed that the revitalization of the Han Dynasty is only for the King of Wei!" Xun Yu looked very calm: "Even now, a certain thinks so, but..."

He looked at Cao Cao and said, "King Wei, I am Han Chen. I used to be, I am now, and I will be in the future. I will not be Wei Chen!"

This is the bottom line.

"So?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with calm eyes. Xun Yu has always been his most effective Minister of the Interior and the hero who stabilized the four states.

"The day the king proclaims himself emperor is the time when the ministers go into exile!" Xun Yu showed his loyalty, and he also showed it very special. He undoubtedly told Cao Cao, as long as you are still a Han minister, I will be loyal to you, but you want to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Room, that is our team, it must be his death, not Cao Cao's death.

"Wen Ruo, if you have something to say, don't keep it in your heart, say it, hello, Gu is fine, and you keep saying that you are a Hanchen, but Gu also said that Gu is also a Hanchen!"

After confiding his heart, Cao Cao became much more relaxed. In the past, he didn't dare to trust Xun Yu completely, and he always had a layer of thought, but from now on, he can trust Xun Yu even more.
