Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 185 Emperor Xian of Han: Could it be that I am real or fake?
Is the emperor of Yecheng the real one?
Is the one in Xu County fake?

Did Yang Biao, Fu Wan and others replace the emperor and send him to Yecheng before Cao Cao welcomed him to Xu County?
Xun You's words opened up a whole new line of thought for Xun Yu, making him... also begin to doubt himself.

Because it is entirely possible.

"and……"

Xun You took out another letter from his sleeve, handed it to Xun Yu, and said, "This is from Uncle Youruo who sent it from Yecheng. Uncle, please take a look."

Xun Yu took the letter and read it carefully.

This letter was sent by Xun Chen. The content was very simple. He hoped that he and Xun You could go to Yecheng to serve the real emperor and move the Xun family of Yingchuan there as well.

The letter also detailed the current situation in Yecheng and how the emperor manipulated Yuan Xi to drive out Yuan Shao and occupy the entire Yecheng.

The whole article can be summed up in six words - there is a bright future ahead, come quickly.

After reading the letter, Xun Yu's eyes flickered and his expression kept changing. It was obvious that he was struggling in his heart.

Everything told him that the emperor in Yecheng was most likely the real emperor, and the emperor in Xu County was a fake, but... was it really so?

"I can't tell the difference! I can't tell the difference!"

Xun Yu crumpled the letter into a ball and closed his eyes in pain. He felt his mind was in a turmoil and he couldn't find any clue at all.

Two emperors.

Which is true? Which is false?
……

royal palace.

Fu Wan, who had just returned home, came to Empress Fu's bedroom again.

He thought Empress Fu had figured it out and decided to tell him the truth.

As soon as she saw Empress Fu, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is the emperor really a fake? Did Dong Cheng arrange for the emperor to escape when he crossed the Yellow River to Hedong that day?"

Empress Fu frowned and asked unhappily, "Why did father bring up this matter again?"

Now, not only the thief Cao, but even his own father, the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, is so disrespectful to the emperor.

This made Empress Fu feel extremely sad.

Fu Wan also frowned and murmured, "If it wasn't the day when we crossed the Yellow River, then it must have been when Hong Yang and Zhang Ji hijacked the emperor's carriage. At that time, there was chaos and many officials and palace maids were killed or injured. It was a good opportunity to secretly send the emperor away."

As he spoke, he kept nodding, affirming his own analysis.

"Father!"

Empress Fu's beautiful eyes turned red as she glared at her father angrily.

Fu Wan became more and more confused when he saw that Empress Fu did not seem to be lying to him.

He said carefully: "Is it possible that the fake emperor is so similar to the real emperor that you couldn't recognize that he was a fake?"

Empress Fu's chest rose and fell violently with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor has really not been replaced. If you mention this matter again, don't blame your daughter for disregarding the father-daughter relationship!"

Fu Wan opened his mouth, but ultimately did not mention the matter again.

If they continue talking, the father and daughter will break up.

He shook his head and sighed in his heart: After all, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Such a big thing was hidden even from me.

Fu Wan said, "I just left and you summoned me to the palace. Something must have happened."

Empress Fu nodded slightly, and said with a sad face: "That day Cao Cao entered the palace and questioned the emperor's authenticity. In a hurry, my daughter pretended to be pregnant to guarantee your majesty. Just an hour ago, Cao Cao ordered someone to enter the palace and forcefully felt my pulse."

"What!" Fu Wan slammed the table and stood up, furious. "How dare Cao the thief do this! You are the queen, how dare he be so disrespectful to you!"

He and Yang Biao were also present that day, and they saw at the time that Cao Cao wanted someone to check Empress Fu's pulse to confirm whether she was pregnant. So he deliberately stopped Cao Cao with words to make him give up this idea.

Unexpectedly, in order to confirm the authenticity of the emperor, Cao Cao finally did this.

Empress Fu said worriedly, "Father, what should we do now? Cao Cao already suspected the emperor, and now that he has discovered that I am not pregnant, he will definitely not let this go."

"Don't panic. Even if the emperor is fake, so what? Your identity as the queen cannot be fake! Lord Yang and I will take care of everything. I will leave the palace and discuss countermeasures with Lord Yang."

After Fu Wan finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and walked out.

When he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Empress Fu: "You should stay in the palace for the time being, the emperor will have Concubine Dong to serve him."

Empress Fu was angry and knew the hidden meaning of her father's words.

But her anger was useless. The emperor had been favoring Concubine Dong for a long time, and it had been a long time since he last visited her bedroom.

At the door of the bedroom, the emperor walked to the corner with a sullen face, avoiding Fu Wan who came out of the palace.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were filled with rage, and his heart was filled with deep shame.

Now not only did Cao Cao suspect that he was a fake, even the emperor's father-in-law didn't believe him.

"Could it be that I am really fake?"

Apart from this absurd reason, Emperor Xian of Han really couldn't figure out why everyone believed that the fake emperor in Yecheng was the supreme ruler.

……

That night, at the residence of General Dong Cheng.

It was a dark night and very quiet.

Outside the study, two rows of soldiers were guarding, and no one was allowed to approach within thirty steps of the study.

Dong Cheng looked at Yang Biao and Fu Wan who came to visit him late at night with complicated eyes, and felt very uneasy.

Some time ago, news came out that an auspicious sign of purple air coming from the east appeared after the emperor of Yecheng offered sacrifices to heaven, and Cao Cao began to doubt the emperor's identity.

If Empress Fu had not appeared in time and used her pregnancy as a pretext to guarantee the emperor's reputation as the empress, a disaster would have happened.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Xu You defected from Yuan Shao, which made Cao Cao suspicious again.

Today, I asked the three of them one by one.

Dong Cheng filled Yang Biao and Fu Wan's cups with tea and asked, "Is your late night visit related to what Cao Cao did today?"

"Something big has happened!" Fu Wan lowered his voice and said anxiously, "After seeing us today, Cao the thief ordered people to enter the palace and forcibly feel the Queen's pulse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Cheng's hand holding the teacup began to shake uncontrollably, and the tea spilled everywhere.

Nowadays, the rumor that the emperor of Yecheng is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor is widely spread.

Most people think that this person named Xu Xian is fake.

If Cao Cao also believed this, then Dong Cheng would become an eternal sinner who falsely established an emperor!

Yang Biao, who had already discussed this with Fu Wan, noticed Dong Cheng's panic, stared at him intently, and said:

"Mr. Dong, it's already come to this, and you still won't tell us the truth?"

Dong Cheng put down the teacup and asked in bewilderment, "What truth are you telling?"

Yang Biao was angry, and snorted heavily, saying, "Are you still going to play dumb? My Hongnong Yang family has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations. Fu Gong's wife is Princess Yang'an, and she is also the father-in-law of the current emperor! Are the two of us so unworthy of your trust, General Dong?"

Listening to Yang Biao's sarcastic words, looking at his angry expression, and then glancing at Fu Wan who also had a bad look on his face, Dong Cheng became more and more confused.

He frowned and said, "I really don't know what Mr. Yang is talking about. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. I will tell you everything."

Seeing that he was still playing dumb, Yang Biao was so angry that he almost stormed out. In the end, Fu Wan held him back by force.

Fu Wan said, "Mr. Dong, you are from Jizhou, right?"

Dong Cheng nodded, "That's right."

Fu Wan asked again: "If it is in a time of war and chaos, can Mr. Dong bring the people to Jizhou safely?"

Dong Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "My Dong family is also a big family in Jizhou, so this is not difficult to do. Lord Fu, what exactly do you want to ask? Shouldn't we discuss tonight the matter of the Queen pretending to be pregnant to guarantee Your Majesty?"

He was almost confused by Fu Wan.

Fu Wan took a deep breath and looked at Dong Cheng with burning eyes. "Mr. Dong is the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong and the father of Concubine Dong. He is the most trusted by the emperor. When you returned to Luoyang, or before moving the capital to Xu County, did you... secretly send the emperor to Yecheng?"

After hearing this, Dong Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped up from his seat, looking at Fu Wan and Yang Biao in disbelief.

"You! You actually suspected that the Emperor was fake!"

Yang Biao snorted coldly and said, "It's okay for us to doubt, but the key is that Cao the thief also doubts! He even almost believes that the emperor is fake. Mr. Dong, if you tell the truth, we can still make a plan. If you still choose to conceal it, it will really harm the emperor."

Dong Cheng's brain was working rapidly and his eyes were flickering.

He finally understood the purpose of these two people's visit.

It turned out that it was not just him, these two people also suspected that the emperor was a fake.

But this matter was definitely not done by him.

He grabbed Fu Wan's hand and asked, "Mr. Fu, the queen hasn't gotten pregnant yet. I'm afraid you've already made some arrangements. Tell me, did you secretly send His Majesty to Yecheng?"

Hearing this, Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

"No wonder... No wonder the Queen still hasn't gotten pregnant after living peacefully for so long since returning to Luoyang. It turns out that it was you, Fu Wan, who sent His Majesty away! Why did you hide such a good thing from us? Are you afraid that we will tell on you?"

Fu Wan was confused.

This matter really has nothing to do with him!

How could he know why the queen was not pregnant?

Subconsciously, he said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. Isn't Concubine Dong not pregnant?"

Dong Cheng thought about it and felt that what Fu Wan said was right.

So he looked at Yang Biao with suspicion.

"Hongnong is your hometown. Your Hongnong Yang family has been operating for many years. Even in times of chaos and turmoil, you can arrange for His Majesty to escape, right? Lord Yang, did you secretly send His Majesty to Yecheng?"

Yang Biao had never done this before. He felt that neither Fu Wan nor Dong Cheng had told him the truth and were just trying to fool him. He was so angry that he started to curse:

"You two old bastards, why are you still hiding this from me at this hour?"

Fu Wan also yelled, "Tell the truth now! If you tell us, we can discuss how to help Your Majesty revive the Han Dynasty."

Dong Cheng: "Who sent His Majesty to Yecheng? Tell me. The emperor and I share the same fate. There is no way I can leak it."

The three of them cursed at each other and finally glared at each other.

They all felt that the person who actually sent the emperor to Yecheng was on guard against them, fearing that the secret would be leaked.

No one has ever thought that perhaps the man in Xu County is the true dragon emperor.

Or maybe, they instinctively don't dare to think in that direction.

At five o'clock in the morning, Yang Biao and Fu Wan left Dong's house and went home.

Dong Cheng sat in his study, drumming on the table with his fingers. After thinking for a long time, he ordered someone to call his son Dong Xi over.

"Father!"

Dong Xi was still sleepy and rubbed his eyes while yawning.

Dong Cheng said, "Xi'er, your father has something very important that needs you to do. I don't trust anyone else except you."

Dong Xi was so sleepy when he heard this that he immediately said excitedly, "I don't know what the important matter is. Please give me some advice, father. I will definitely not let you down."

Dong Cheng considered his words and said, "You are familiar with His Majesty. I want you to disguise yourself and go to Yecheng secretly to find out whether the emperor in Yecheng is real or not."

"What!" Dong Xi was shocked and looked at Dong Cheng in disbelief. "Father, why do you say that? Isn't the emperor in Xu County? The one in Yecheng is a fake emperor established by Yuan Shao!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Dong Cheng glared at Dong Xi fiercely and said, "The real emperor might have been sent to Yecheng by Yang Biao and Fu Wan a long time ago. But I am not sure, so I asked you to go over quietly to investigate the situation."

Dong Xi's heart began to beat violently uncontrollably, and he felt as if he had heard an incredible secret.

The real emperor is actually in Yecheng!
No wonder there was an auspicious sign of purple air coming from the east in Yecheng!

"Don't worry, father. I only need to meet the emperor of Yecheng and ask a few questions, and I will know the truth."

"Yes." Dong Cheng nodded slightly, and then said with concern, "This trip must be kept secret. Remember not to let anyone find out."

"My child understands."

At the same time, Yang Biao, who had just returned home, went to Yang Xiu's room and woke him up from his sleep.

"Don't sleep any more, get up quickly! After daybreak, ride fast to Yecheng."

Yang Xiu was so smart that his eyes suddenly lit up.

His guess yesterday was indeed correct, the real emperor was the one in Yecheng!
"Father, are you asking me to assist the emperor?"

Yang Biao slapped Yang Xiu on the head and scolded him, "Whether it is true or not, it is still unknown. Your father asked you to go to Yecheng and take a good look to see if that person is the orthodox Han."

Yang Xiu rubbed his head, thinking that his father was just being stubborn.

He asked, "If the emperor of Yecheng is indeed the legitimate heir of the Han Dynasty, then the child..."

Yang Biao said without hesitation: "Then you stay in Yecheng and don't come back."

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement and said, "This is the best. I will go to assist the emperor, and I will stay in Xu County and flatter Cao. When the emperor sends troops south, I can be his internal support."

Different from Yang Biao.

Yang Biao hoped that the emperor of Yecheng was the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty, and after what happened during the day, Yang Xiu almost confirmed his guess.

The same scene also happened in Fu Wan's mansion.

Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and Fu Wan were the emperor's closest and most trusted ministers. They would always feel uneasy unless they found out whether the emperor was genuine or not.

……

The next morning, Yang Xiu, Dong Xi, Chen Qun and Fu De disguised themselves, quietly left Xu County and headed straight for Yecheng.

Cao Cao received a handwritten letter from Zhou Yu.

At this time, he was summoning his advisers and generals to discuss whether to take advantage of Yuan Shao's internal and external troubles to send troops to Yangzhou.

He even joined forces with Ma Teng to attack Yuan Shao directly.
