Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 336 Everything is under control
The post-war work in Chang'an is proceeding in an orderly manner.

All the princes in the world are also waiting to see the reaction of the Cao family.

Cao Ang protected Liu Bian very well. Except for the core members of the Cao Group around him, the rest of the people did not know that Liu Bian, who was deposed as Hongnong King, was still alive.

Because of this, some people deliberately spread rumors.

If the emperor is kidnapped, then the Cao family will definitely support a puppet emperor. At that time, the great Han Dynasty will change its surname to Cao!

As soon as this rumor came out, the newly stable situation in Chang'an City collapsed instantly.

A group of generals headed by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and a group of civil servants headed by Cai Yong and Wang Yun, gathered together to meet Cao Ang.

In Chang'an City, the Cao Family Hall.

A group of ministers gathered here, waiting for Cao Ang to return from the military camp.

Huangfusong lowered his head, his eyelids drooped slightly, and said nothing.

Zhu Jun frowned, thinking about how he should persuade Cao Ang to send troops to rescue the young emperor.

Cai Yong and Wang Yun are extremely conflicted at this time. After all, they are still in high positions, all thanks to Cao Ang.

If Cao Ang wants to establish a puppet emperor, then they really don't know whether they should support or oppose it.

The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

The leaders did not speak, but the ordinary Han ministers on the side began to chatter.

The selection mechanism of Han ministers was not perfect, which resulted in some of these ministers relying on their family background to rise to the top.

As for their abilities, they are very limited.

"Do you think Cao Ang will become emperor himself?"

"What are you thinking about? Even if Cao Ang wants to be emperor, he won't ascend the throne just like this. He must at least make a puppet emperor and then give up to Cao Cao before it's his turn!"

"That's nonsense. I have known Duke Meng De for many years, and he will never do such a treasonous thing as plotting to usurp the throne."

"Is it useful if he doesn't want to do it? Who doesn't know that the real person in charge of the Cao family now is Cao Ang! If he wants to be emperor, can Cao Mengde still stop him?"

Just as everyone was talking about it, a hearty voice came from outside the hall.

"So many people are here! It looks like my Cao family's cook will be very busy tonight!"

As the voice fell, a tall figure walked straight in from the door. It was Cao Ang who had just returned home.

When everyone saw Cao Ang coming, they stood up one by one to say hello.

Cao Ang responded with a smile, then came to sit down at the main seat, looked around and then spoke.

"Okay everyone, please sit down. You are here today. Do you have any advice?"

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke first.

In the end, it was Zhu Jun who spoke first.

"General Cao, I would like to ask, when do you plan to send troops to Xiliang to rescue His Majesty the Emperor who has been kidnapped?"

When everyone heard this question, they held their breath and waited for Cao Ang's answer.

Cao Ang smiled slightly: "Sending troops to Xiliang will happen sooner or later. Don't rush it. For now, I still have to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shu!"

In fact, Cao Ang had already planned what he would do next.

In addition to Sizhou, there are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty.

Currently, one third is in our own hands.

The journey to Xiliang is long and the environment is harsh. If you want to send troops, you have to prepare in advance and have enough food and grass as support.

As we all know, the richest place in the world is Jiangnan.If you capture Yangzhou first and increase your money and food reserves, it will be easier to attack Xiliang.

Besides, that damn place in Xiliang is full of rebels who will fight among themselves sooner or later and poses no threat to the Cao family, so why bother?

……

After hearing Cao Ang's answer, the expressions on the faces of the ministers became wonderful.

Huangfu Song, who had been silent until now, also spoke at this time.

"General Cao, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty is being kidnapped by Li Jue and Guo Bin. If they follow the example of the old thief Dong Zhuo..."

Huangfu Song did not continue, but everyone knew that if they still thought they were Han ministers, then they would have to submit to Xiliang.

These seven words of coercing the emperor to command the princes are not for nothing.

Cao Ang smiled when he saw this: "General Huangfu, you don't have to worry about this matter, I can make arrangements freely!"

Looking at Cao Ang's indifferent expression, Huangfusong's heart skipped a beat.

"This boy really has a disloyal heart!" Huangfu Song sighed in his heart, and then he could only stand up and say goodbye silently.

As for Liu Xie...

He doesn't have many soldiers and horses at his disposal, so there is nothing he can do to help. The Emperor can only ask for his own blessings.

With Huangfu Song taking the lead, everyone said goodbye and left.

Zhu Jun slapped the table angrily: "Okay, okay! Cao Zixiu, I originally thought you were loyal to the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect you to be just like that old thief Dong Zhuo!"

After saying this, Zhu Jun turned around and left.

Soon, all the ministers were gone.

As for Cao Ang, he just smiled and sent everyone away. He chose to turn a blind eye to the angry eyes of these people.

A few days later, a piece of news came out from Luoyang, shocking the world.

That is Liu Bian, who was once deposed as King Hongnong, and regained the throne in Luoyang!

Once this news was released, everyone in the world was shocked.

Especially Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who got together.

Wasn't Liu Bian killed by Dong Zhuo a long time ago? How could he ascend the throne again?
Could it be that the Cao family created a puppet to control the court?
As soon as this idea came up, it was immediately rejected.

Judging from Cao Ang's ability, if he wanted to support a puppet emperor, there was no need to use Liu Bian's name.

Just choose a young and obedient person from among the descendants of the Liu family to be the emperor. There is no need to bring the dead back to life.

And now, Liu Bian has returned to the throne, which illustrates a situation, that is, Liu Bian was really not dead at that time!

But they couldn't understand why Liu Bian was still alive when someone had seen his body.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other and said in unison: "Cao Ang!"

The two of them figured it out. When they went to find Cao Ang before, he looked confident, so he must have known about this for a long time.

Since you can't figure out why Liu Bian is still alive, then go find someone who understands and ask!
Soon, a group of ministers tacitly gathered in front of Cao's house again.

They also couldn't understand why Liu Bian came back to life.

At this time, Cao Ang did not show much surprise after receiving the news that the ministers were visiting.

All of this was within his expectations.
