Chapter 369 The plot is exposed

In the palace, Liu Xie looked gloomy, and the previous "Long live the King of Wei" was loud and clear.

But he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

He had never been supported by anyone, and even now, almost no one cared about him.

The only people he could draw as his confidants were Zongzheng Liu Yu and Yulin Lang Liu Qi.

But these two men had no soldiers, no power, and they themselves were in danger, so how could they help him?

Cao Cao has taken away too much of the Han Dynasty's right to speak, and may even take away his throne in a few years.

So, no matter what.

After showing off his merits and conferring all the titles on the generals, Cao Cao held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the merits of the Northern Patrol.

Next to the Emperor's Dragon Seat, Liu Yu noticed that Liu Xie's expression was wrong and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?"

Liu Xie put down his wine cup, glanced at Cao Cao who was drinking with his subordinates from a distance, and whispered to Liu Yu: "Uncle, why do you ask questions knowingly?"

Liu Yu was silent for a moment and then whispered: "Why don't you send your Majesty's secret edict to the south of the Yangtze River and order all the princes to raise troops to serve the king?"

"King Qin?" Liu Xie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How should the secret edict be sent out?"

It's not that he hasn't tried, it's just that everything has failed, so that almost all those who are loyal to him are dead.

"This matter is easy to hear. The New Year is approaching. I can pretend to send my dog ​​back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Cao's thieves will not be suspicious."

"That's all it can do."

In fact, Liu Xie knew very well that with Cao Cao's control over Yecheng, it would be extremely difficult for the news to get out of Yecheng.

But he still agreed.

Even though he knew that the princes south of the Yangtze River would not raise troops.

Even though he knew that even if Cao Cao was defeated and killed, he probably would not be able to become a truly powerful emperor.

Even though he knew that Liu He who brought the letter was likely to die.

But for the sake of his throne, he didn't care so much.

At least after getting along with him for these years, Liu Xie knew very well that Cao Cao would not commit regicide.

In this case, the life and death of others seemed even more insignificant to him.

Besides, it was Liu Yu who suggested it, not what he asked for.

Taking advantage of the banquet, the surrounding palace people were waiting for the achievements of the King of Wei. Liu Xie secretly took out a brocade handkerchief, bit off his index finger and wrote it in blood.

When he handed it over to Liu Yu after the incident, he specifically told him: "The emperor must remember that Liu Bei can be of great use, so he must be ordered to raise an army to attack Cao Cao."

"Your Majesty, I know."

Done.

Liu Yu asked Cao Cao to retire on the grounds that he was too old to work.

Cao Cao did not doubt that he was there and immediately agreed. Anyway, this was a celebration banquet for the Northern Patrol and it had nothing to do with Liu Yu.

But Liu Yu didn't expect that he would stop at Deyang Palace with his front foot, and Zhang Wu would follow him out using his urine escape, blocking him in front of the palace gate.

"Uncle Emperor, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Hmph, I have resigned from King Wei before. It is not the champion's turn to ask more about my personal matters, right?"

Zhang Wu grinned and showed his white teeth: "Private matters? I'm afraid he's busy hooking up with the traitors."

After that, he walked up to Liu Yu, pulled up his sleeves, touched it with his hand, and put the brocade handkerchief away.

Zhang Wu was immediately amused when he opened it and looked at its contents.

Appointed Liu Bei as the leader of the alliance against thieves, and mobilized Liu Yao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Liu Yan to raise troops.

The specific purpose is not written, but a discerning person will naturally know that if you unite so many princes, what else can you do besides crusade against Cao Cao? Can you fight mosquitoes?

It can be said that Liu Xie really praised Liu Bei enough. I am afraid that Liu Paopao was already worried in Huainan at this time.

The overall situation in the north has been decided. There are only two places left in Huainan and Jingbei.

If we don't take advantage of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, who can stop the iron hoof of Cao Wei's army?

If you don't bother them here, they will have to burn incense.

Still raising troops to serve the king? What is the difference between seeking death?

"I just said that the two of you were sneaky before, but it turned out that there was really trouble. That's fine. Now I will send you to see Man Boning and see how he treats you."

Zhang Wu was cautious here.

After Cao Cao became king and had people writing history around him, the butcher who used to be erratic began to cherish his feathers.

Of course he could kill Liu Yu with one punch and be done with it, but if he really wanted to do that, he would be blamed for killing his clan members.

Anyway, he and Man Chong didn't deal with each other and had a bad reputation, so he naturally thought of Man Chong taking the blame.

As soon as he heard the name of Man Chong, Liu Yu knew that he had no way to survive, and he was very stubborn. He opened his mouth and cursed, "You traitor and traitor! You will not die well! You will not die well!"

Zhang Wu plucked his ears and said with a look of disdain: "Okay, okay, stop howling. The first day you knew that I was a traitor? It was just that you got angry when things were revealed. Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."

After Zhang Wu summoned the palace guards to escort Liu Yu away, he turned around and entered the palace again, placing the brocade handkerchief on Cao Cao's desk.

"Father-in-law is holding on for a while, you might as well take a look at this."

Cao Cao spread out his brocade handkerchief, and his face became uglier and uglier as he looked at it. In the end, his smile was gone, his face was as black as carbon, and he was on the verge of breaking out at any time.

Xun Yu noticed something was wrong, and when he stepped forward to ask, he picked up the brocade handkerchief and looked at it, then looked deeply at the emperor.

Indeed, it is true that he gave up on the Han Dynasty.

But after all, they were people and things that I wanted to support. If possible, he hoped that the emperor would step down in a dignified way.

But it happened that at this time, the emperor actually issued some bullshit secret edict to punish the thieves.

Xun Yu would have been able to accept it at another time.

At this time, Cao Cao cleared the northern border, drove out the barbarians, and expanded the territory. This was a great thing that everyone celebrated.

No one who has accomplished such a great feat would be happy to be called a thief upon his return.

"King Wei, there is no need to make any announcement."

Cao Cao's heart immediately dropped: "Wen Ruo, you."

Xun Yu explained: "The King of Wei has surrendered to my wishes. Now I have to press the matter. With this brocade handkerchief in hand, we can use it to make a fuss about regaining Huainan and destroying Liu Bei in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Cao Cao's expression improved a lot: "What does Wen Ruo want?"

"Our emperor made a lot of mistakes when he was in a hurry. I heard that Chen Lin in Yecheng is quite talented and is a master of copying calligraphy. Why don't the King of Wei recruit her to continue writing?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good!"

The reason why this secret edict is precious is because it contains the emperor's official seal. As the emperor's personal seal, even Cao Cao cannot take this thing by force.

Now that it's over, Liu Xie not only leaked the seal, but also wrote it in blood.

The key is that Liu Xie was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he used vague words, which gave Chen Lin a lot of room for maneuver.

"Father-in-law, I ordered the palace guards to send Liu Yu to the court, or should I call someone to chase him back?"

"No need, there are so many loyal ministers around His Majesty, why do you have to send Liu Yu to deliver the message? Can't Liu Qi do it? Just put him back, and Cai Mao doesn't know how to praise him, so he just beats him."

Zhang Wu laughed loudly, 'My father-in-law is wise'

Cao Cao didn't say anything, but he almost forgot to settle the score with Cai Mao.

He dared to play tricks like borrowing a knife to kill people on Cao Cao's head.

Let's see how Liu Qi ends up after he returns to Jingzhou.
