Chapter 4 The Emperor has arrived!

Chapter 4 The Emperor has arrived!

Yecheng, Yuan Mansion.

In the meeting hall, counselors and generals gathered together.

Yuan Shao sat on the main seat at the top, looking at the secret report in his hand with a gloomy and iron-green expression.

This is the news that just came back this morning.

Luoyang had been captured by Cao Cao, and the emperor was welcomed to Xu County; not only that, Cao Cao also announced to the public that he would re-establish the court!

"Cao Mengde, what a Cao Mengde!"

Yuan Shao slammed the secret report on the table and said with gritted teeth.

Cao Cao has the emperor in his hands, and if he sets up a court, it means he has occupied the orthodoxy, which will inevitably attract talented people from all over the world to join him. What's more important is that he has the right to speak!

He had not taken it seriously before, but it was not until now that he truly realized what kind of opportunity he had missed.

Cao Cao got this huge benefit for nothing!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the depression in his heart, Yuan Shao cast his eyes on the many ministers in the hall and said, "I believe you have all read the secret report sent this morning."

"If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Although it was an irreversible fact that Cao Cao had held the emperor hostage, he still felt somewhat unwilling, as he always felt that he could not let Cao Cao get away with it so easily.

So now I can only place my hopes on these advisers under my command.

See if you can find a way to turn the situation around.

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, a scholar with a pointed face and monkey cheeks stepped forward and said, "My lord, I think this is not a bad thing."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Gongze?"

Yuan Shao frowned, feeling a little confused.

The scholar was Guo Tu. Seeing Yuan Shao's gaze, he calmly bowed and said, "My lord, although Cao Cao has the emperor, he can use the emperor's name to act and recruit talents; but with Dong Zhuo in front of him, if he makes a mistake, he will become the target of public criticism."

"My lord, you control three states, have millions of soldiers, and countless talented generals. It doesn't matter whether you have an emperor or not. On the contrary, it can help you avoid being constrained."

"So I say that letting Cao Cao become the emperor is not a bad thing for you, my lord."

Guo Tu spoke eloquently and his remarks sounded reasonable and well-founded.

But just as he finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly sounded.

"That's complete nonsense!"

A scholar with a resolute face stepped forward and said to Guo Tu in a cold voice: "Wherever the emperor is, there is legitimacy! If the emperor is in Jizhou, my lord will be able to occupy the righteous position!"

"When Ju Shou proposed that the lord should welcome the emperor to Jizhou, if you and Chunyu Qiong had not strongly opposed it, the lord would have been bewitched. How could Cao Cao have succeeded?"

"You still want to deceive my lord now?"

Being scolded, Guo Tu felt a little embarrassed, but he did not shut up. Instead, he said sharply: "Welcoming the emperor to Jizhou is not a wise move!"

"If the emperor comes to Jizhou, should we listen to the lord or the emperor? Tian Feng, what are you thinking?"

"I think you are the real fool!"

Seeing that Tian Feng and Guo Tu were arguing more and more fiercely, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke.

"Stop arguing!"

Yuan Shao frowned and spoke. Listening to the two people arguing, he just felt upset.

He glanced at the ministers in the hall and suddenly found that a familiar figure seemed to be missing.

"What about Gong Yu? Where did he go?"

At this time, all the ministers gathered in the hall, except Ju Su.

Ju Shou had originally strongly suggested to him that the emperor be welcomed to Jizhou, but he did not adopt the idea. Now it seems that Ju Shou might have been right.

He wanted to hear what Ju Shou had to say. "My Lord, early this morning, Gongyou went out of the city to go fishing."

A scholar in Confucian robes spoke up. He was also one of Yuan Shao's trusted advisers. His surname was Shen Pei, his given name was Zhengnan.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao ordered his guards, "Come here, quickly invite the Duke to come to the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes, my lord!"

The guards took the order and retreated.

Then Yuan Shao comforted Tian Feng and Guo Tu, saying, "Now that things have come to this, stop arguing and wait for Gong Yu to come before discussing it."

Although the two were still resentful, since Yuan Shao had said so, they could only bow their heads and agree.

But what was unexpected was that the guard came back in a hurry not long after he left.

“My lord! My lord! Something bad has happened to my lord——!”

The guard ran into the hall in a panic.

Yuan Shao said in annoyance: "How can you be so loud and shouting? Why are you so panicked?"

The guard's face was full of tension, and he stammered, "It's the military supervisor! The military supervisor..."

"What happened to Gong Yu?!"

Yuan Shao suddenly became nervous.

Did something happen to Ju Su?
The guard gritted his teeth and said, "The military supervisor, he brought the emperor back! He is outside the palace now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion.

They wondered if they were hallucinating.

Ju Shou... brought the emperor back?
Are they still asleep, or is this guard crazy?
Yuan Shao was the first to come to his senses. His eyes instantly became fierce and he shouted, "Nonsense! The emperor has been taken to Xu County by Cao Cao. How could he come here?"

"My lord, it's true!"

The guard blushed and stammered, "The military supervisor is now outside the palace with the emperor. He told you and everyone present to go out to greet him!"

He also found it outrageous.

But it is true.

Yuan Shao frowned. If this guard had not followed him for many years and had not been so steady and trustworthy, he would have really thought that this guy had gone crazy.

But if this guard is not crazy, then there is only one possibility left, that is, Ju Shou is up to something.

After some thought, Yuan Shao made up his mind and stood up and said, "Come on, follow me out of the palace!"

He wanted to see how Ju Su could conjure up an emperor for him!
Yuan Shao strode out of the mansion. Tian Feng, Shen Pei and other civil and military officials looked at each other and followed him.

They were also very curious about what Ju Su was up to.

The group soon arrived at the main gate of Yuan's mansion.

At the main entrance, Ju Su was standing respectfully beside a ragged young man, saying something.

The young man was dressed in tattered clothes, had a pale face and thin body, and looked like a beggar; but upon closer inspection, he was handsome and had an air of nobility between his brows.

When Yuan Shao's eyes fell on the face of the beggar-like boy, his eyes almost popped out!
“Your Majesty?!”

Yuan Shao screamed in shock, and for a moment he thought he was hallucinating.

But the person standing in front of him at this moment.

Who else could it be if not the great Han emperor!
