Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 481 Chang'an is shocked!

As the Han army entered Changsha City, Cao Cao's base camp was completely destroyed, and all Cao's soldiers and generals surrendered.

After all, even Cao Cao was dead, so there was no point in their resistance. Besides, Cao Cao had already told them to give up resistance.

The first thing the Han army did after entering the city was to arrest the members of the Cao and Xiahou families. In addition, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other close advisers of Cao Cao were also captured.

These are all traitors who followed the bandits and must be brought back to Chang'an to be tried by the emperor and then dealt with accordingly.

Guo Jia also followed the army into the city, and among the captives, he saw Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, long time no see."

Seeing Xun Yu tied up, Guo Jia greeted him with a hint of emotion in his tone.

He and Xun Yu had known each other a long time ago.

Both of them were from Yingchuan, but at that time he was still an unknown little person, while Xun Yu had already become one of the "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family" and was famous.

Facing Guo Jia's greeting, Xun Yu's expression did not change much, still as usual, he nodded slightly and said: "Long time no see, Fengxiao."

"You look much better. I almost didn't recognize you."

Compared with his appearance as a consumptive patient in his early years, Guo Jia now looks very healthy, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and his complexion is much better than before.

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "It is all thanks to your majesty's urging that I stopped taking Wu Shi San and asked Mr. Hua Tuo to prescribe medicine to take good care of my body."

"After all, I still have to assist His Majesty for a long time, and after the unification of the Han Dynasty, there is a lot of work to be done. If I don't take good care of my body, I won't be able to show my skills."

Hearing this, a complex look flashed across Xun Yu's eyes.

When he first met Guo Jia, he knew that such a talent would definitely achieve great things in the future.

But even though he had expected this, Guo Jia's achievements far exceeded his imagination.

Guo Jia, who was once a small figure, became the emperor's most trusted confidant, ranked first in Lingyun Pavilion, stood at the pinnacle of power in the Han Dynasty, and had a bright future.

However, he, the so-called "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family", has become a prisoner, charged with the serious crime of treason, and his life or death is still unknown.

Time and life.

Guo Jia did not care about Xun Yu's identity as a prisoner and a rebel. The two of them chatted with each other like good friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Seeing this, Xun You, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The relationship between his uncle and Guo Jia is so good, and Guo Jia is the most trusted minister of the emperor. If Guo Jia is willing to plead for them, they may not be pardoned by the emperor.

After Guo Jia and Xun Yu chatted for a while, he said, "I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."

After saying this, he ordered the soldiers to take Xun Yu and others away.

He led his men into Cao Cao's mansion.

Watching Guo Jia leave, Xun You couldn't help but say to Xun Yu: "Uncle, since you are familiar with Guo Fengxiao, why don't you ask him to help us?"

"If he is willing to intercede for us in front of the emperor, given his status and position, we will definitely be exempted from the crime."

Just now, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were chatting about the past, and he never asked Guo Jia for help from beginning to end.

Do you still care so much about your face at this time?

Xun Yu shook his head and said calmly, "I know Fengxiao's character. He is a very rational person. He knows clearly between private matters and public matters."

"You and I have helped Cao Cao fight against the imperial court for so long. Whether we were deceived by Cao Cao or not, we cannot wash away this crime."

"He will not plead for us in front of the emperor just because I have a relationship with him. Doing so will only offend the emperor."

“He’s a smart guy, and that’s why he’s gotten to where he is now.”

Guo Jia just chatted with him only because they were old acquaintances, but he would not treat him specially because of this.

He understands this very well.

After Xun You heard this, his hopes were shattered, and he said in a somewhat lost voice: "If we had accepted Second Uncle's invitation to go to Jizhou, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation today..."

At the beginning, Xun Chen wrote a letter asking them to go to Jizhou for refuge, but they did not accept it at that time.

Although Xun Chen was later executed by the emperor, the Xun family branch in Jizhou was not affected and continued to develop steadily.

If they had listened to Xun Chen's advice and gone to Jizhou, everything might have been different.

……

After Changsha City was recaptured, Huang Zhong was left behind to guard it, while Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu and others took Cao Cao's head and escorted Emperor Xian of Han and a group of captives back to Chang'an.

Emperor Xian of Han was under strict supervision along the way, and three brave generals, Ju Yi, Taishi Ci, and Zhao Yun, personally followed on both sides of the carriage.

Even Lu Bu would come over to take a look from time to time.

When he first captured Emperor Xian of Han, he wanted to kill him outright, but Chen Gong persuaded him to hand him over to the emperor. As a result, the fake emperor escaped on the way to Yecheng.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many things to come.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu stared at the slowly moving carriage ahead, stroking the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and snorted coldly: "If the false emperor dares to escape this time, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Chen Gong, who was standing by, heard this and said, "Be quiet. There are 30,000 soldiers here, and General Zhao and his men are guarding. How could this fake emperor escape?"

Lu Bu glared and said, "We can't be careless! It was because of your words that the fake emperor had the opportunity to escape. This time it was only because of the order issued by His Majesty himself. Otherwise, even if you dragged me with you, I would still kill the fake emperor."

"The fake emperor is just a fake emperor, it's just fake. What twins are all bullshit!"

"This fake emperor looks like Your Majesty, but how else can he compare to Your Majesty? Letting him live would only insult Your Majesty's wisdom!"

Chen Gong was speechless for a moment. He did have to take some responsibility for that incident and he was overthinking it.

With a light cough, Chen Gong let the matter go, and then asked, "There is a piece of news recently, Fengxian, have you heard about it?"

"what news?"

"Noble Zhen gave birth to a son for your majesty. Your majesty named him 'Jue' and made him the King of Bohai."

"What?!"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Your Majesty has a son? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

He had been busy fighting during this period and had no time to take care of other things, so this was the first time he heard the news.

After being surprised, Lu Bu said with some sorrow: "Alas! Qi'er is such a disappointment. Look at her, she gave birth to a son in no time."

Although he also loves a granddaughter, he still wants to hold a grandson in his arms if possible. After all, this has always been his dream.

If I could have a grandson, I wouldn’t even trade him for a general!

Chen Gong whispered, "King of Bohai, this was the title bestowed upon His Majesty before he ascended the throne. Perhaps His Majesty is hinting at something."

"The position of crown prince... has been vacant for too long."

Like many people who heard the news, Chen Gong, after learning that the emperor had named the newly born dragon son the King of Bohai, also speculated about the deep meaning of this title.

"whatever."

Lu Bu said disapprovingly.

He thought it was nothing. Even if the emperor wanted to make this prince the crown prince, that was nothing wrong.

After all, Lu Lingqi didn't give birth to a prince, so could the emperor still make the princess the crown prince?
Perhaps his Lu family was not destined to produce a dragon.

Seeing Lü Bu's indifferent attitude, Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Never mind, it's better not to fight.

The battle for the crown prince has been the most dangerous since ancient times. Lu Lingqi did not give birth to a son, and Lu Bu was open-minded about it. Perhaps this was God's will.

With the achievements Lu Bu has made now, as long as he doesn't get involved in these matters, there will be no problem for him to prosper for generations.

This is not a bad thing for Lu Bu.

……

"Tap-ta-"

"Tap-ta-"

Outside the city of Chang'an, a soldier was riding a horse along the official road towards the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate wanted to stop him, but when they saw the Flying Dragon Rider behind the soldier, they hurriedly made way.

The flying dragon flag represents an express journey of eight hundred miles.

This is an emergency military situation!
The cavalryman galloped into Chang'an on his horse. As soon as he entered the city, he shouted loudly: "Great victory in Jingzhou! Great victory in Jingzhou——!"

"Lord Wen led his troops to capture Changsha City! The traitor Cao Cao committed suicide! The fake emperor was captured!"

"Great victory in Jingzhou! Great victory in Jingzhou——!"

The cavalryman galloped on his horse, shouting at the top of his lungs as he rushed towards the imperial palace.

Behind him, the people along the road were all stunned.

Cao Cao... is dead?
……

Imperial Palace, inside the Weiyang Palace.

Liu Xie reviewed memorials all night yesterday and finished only at dawn. Now he has just arrived at Lu Lingqi's palace and lay down to rest.

"Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, you must also pay attention to your health and not overwork yourself."

Lu Lingqi said this while massaging Liu Xie's temples. Seeing the tiredness on Liu Xie's face, her heart was filled with heartache.

Liu Xie closed his eyes and enjoyed Lu Lingqi's service. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It will only be hard for a while. When Kong Ming and the others come back, I will leave everything to them."

"They lead the troops out to fight, leaving all the state affairs to me to handle. This is really too much, don't you think, my beloved?"

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Lu Lingqi couldn't help laughing.

She knew that Liu Xie only said this. On weekdays, he seemed to be a hands-off emperor and left all state affairs to his ministers, but in fact he still intervened.

"Your Majesty is right."

Lu Lingqi said softly, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to bring Sister Zhen to Chang'an?"

"I have been separated from her for so long, I do miss her a little, and I also want to see the dragon son that Sister Zhen gave birth to."

"Sister Zhen is the most beautiful woman in the world, and Your Majesty is so heroic. The dragon child born will definitely be very cute."

Since giving birth to the child, Lu Lingqi has liked children more and more. She has a good relationship with Zhen Mi, so naturally she also wants to see Zhen Mi's child.

"Wait another month. Concubine Zhen is weak and needs to recuperate for a while. I will send someone to pick her up next month."

Liu Xie was already a little sleepy, and said after yawning.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi did not ask any more questions, but just massaged Liu Xie a little more gently.

Just when Liu Xie was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a burst of surprised shouts came from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty——!"

This was Gao Lan's voice. His voice was so loud that it woke up Liu Xie who was about to fall asleep.

Not only Liu Xie, but also Liu Ying, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle nearby, was awakened by Gao Lan's shout and started crying loudly.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi hurriedly got out of bed to coax the child.

Liu Xie was disturbed from his sweet dream and immediately became furious. He jumped out of bed and ran out of the palace, angrily saying to Gao Lan: "Why are you making so much noise? Are you going to let me sleep?"

"It's ok that you woke me up, but you even woke up the princess. Go and comfort her for me!"

Gao Lan was scolded to death. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he dared not to defend himself. He just said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, there is good news..."

"Say!"

Liu Xie said unhappily, glaring at Gao Lan fiercely, "If the victory report you mentioned doesn't satisfy me, I will punish you by sending you to the Ye Ting Palace to brush tigers!"

Huzi is the toilet in later generations.

This name originated from the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, when Li Guang shot and killed Crouching Tiger and ordered people to cast a copper urinal in the shape of a tiger for use in urination to show his contempt for the tiger.

After that, this kind of urinal became popular and was called "Tiger".

The reason why it was renamed toilet in later generations was to avoid the name of Li Hu, the grandfather of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan.

Gao Lan was horrified and said quickly, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Jingzhou, Changsha City has been recaptured!"

"The traitor Cao Cao committed suicide. Lord Wen led his troops to occupy Changsha City and captured the false emperor. Now he is escorting the false emperor to Chang'an!"

Gao Lan quickly told the complete contents of the good news.

He was afraid that if he was a little late, the emperor would punish him to brush the tiger, and he would never be able to hold his head up in front of Zhang He again.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie's anger instantly disappeared, and even his remaining sleepiness disappeared. He was instantly overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

Cao Cao is dead!
……

The news of the great victory in Jingzhou spread throughout Chang'an like the wind, shocking the entire city.

"Great! The thief Cao is finally dead!"

"I heard that this thief committed suicide. Damn, he got it easy. He should be cut into pieces!"

"Where is the fake emperor? Has the fake emperor been caught?"

"Of course he was caught. I heard that he is on his way to Chang'an, escorted by Lord Wen himself."

"I heard that Xu Ziyuan is still alive. He is a great hero who endured humiliation and hardship for many years in the enemy camp!"

"The thief Cao is dead, the world is unified, and the Yan and Han dynasties will be revived for the third time!"

"God bless me, Yanhan!"

"Long live the Han Dynasty! Long live your Majesty!"

……

From officials to ordinary people, everyone was excited and some even burst into tears after hearing the news.

For all the officials, Cao Cao's death and the unification of the country represented the third resurgence of the Han Dynasty, a great achievement that will surely go down in history!

They are not only witnesses, but also participants!
For the common people, they were happy that the world was finally unified, the rebels were finally wiped out, and the war that had lasted for many years was finally coming to an end.

They can finally live a peaceful and stable life!
After the news spread, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were filled with laughter, and every household decorated with lights and colors, making it as lively as New Year's Day.
