The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 349 I Don't Want to Issue This Edict

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Liu Xie at all, Chang Shi lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, but a look of displeasure flashed across his face instantly.

Because his head was lowered, neither Cao Cao nor Xu Chu saw his expression.

Under the guidance of Chang Shi, Cao Cao and Xu Chu walked to Liu Xie's bedroom.

Liu Xie personally waited outside the door.

"Mr. Cao is busy with business, why do you have time to come here?" Liu Xie asked very humbly, bowing to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao cupped his hands casually, and said to Liu Xie, "I told Your Majesty a long time ago that you don't have to be so cautious when you see me. It's okay that we are all from my own family here. If it spreads out, wouldn't it make me disrespectful to the monarch?" notoriety?"

He said that Liu Xie should not be too cautious, but Cao Cao's demeanor did not show the slightest respect.

Liu Xie bowed his head in response, and Cao Cao asked, "Is Your Majesty talking to me right here?"

"Cao Gong, please come inside and talk." Liu Xie suddenly retreated to the side and invited Cao Cao and Xu Chu into the room.

"Your Majesty, please first." Cao Cao still remembered some etiquette, and said to Liu Xie: "The emperor and his ministers have the right way, so you can't ask me to do some presumptuous things."

"What Cao Gong said is that I was negligent." Liu Xie agreed, even though he entered the room first, he immediately stood sideways when he arrived in the room.

Cao Cao brought Xu Chu into the room and saw two teacups on the table: "Your Majesty, are there any guests here?"

"Just now I was talking to the Queen here, and I heard that Duke Cao is here, so I ordered her to step down first." Liu Xie replied, "Mr. Cao must be talking about family and country affairs. Is she a woman who should listen?"

"Your Majesty is much more sensible than previous years." Cao Cao's words were like an elder facing a younger generation.

Poor Liu Xie, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he didn't dare to have the slightest arrogance, so he could only keep his head down and say yes.

Chang Shi, who led Cao Cao and Xu Chu, stood beside him bowing all the time.

Cao Cao looked back at him, but didn't pay much attention, and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, I'm here because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"Please speak frankly, Mr. Cao." No matter what conditions Cao Cao proposed, Liu Xie could only agree, and he respectfully asked Cao Cao to continue speaking.

Cao Cao said: "Lv Bu is an enemy of the world, trying to bring chaos to the great Han, and now he is gathering a strong army in Xuzhou and even planning to attack Xudu. Your Majesty should have heard about it."

"I live in the palace, and I hardly hear any news from outside." Liu Xie replied: "If Cao Gong didn't inform me, I still wouldn't get these news."

"Your Majesty knows now." Cao Cao said to Liu Xie, "I have ordered someone to write a call to action against Lu Bu, and now I have issued an imperial edict, Your Majesty, please issue an edict."

"Didn't I issue an edict earlier?" Liu Xie asked Cao Cao in astonishment, "Could it be that the edict is useless?"

"That edict was issued by His Majesty earlier." Cao Cao replied, "Now we need to issue another edict so that I can lead the army to attack Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao forced Liu Xie to issue an edict to crusade against Lu Bu. Liu Xie asked a few words, and seeing that his face was not good, he quickly replied: "As long as Cao Gong needs it, I will issue an edict."

"Cao Cao is a traitor, dare to threaten His Majesty, I will beg for the thief for the world today!" Liu Xie was about to order the servant to get the pen and ink, but the servant who had kept his head down pulled out a sharp knife from his arms and roared. To Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was taken aback by Chang Shi's sudden attack.

Seeing that the sharp knife was about to stab him, Xu Chu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand that was holding the knife, and twisted it aside forcefully.

The tip of the knife almost cut Cao Cao's heart, and the clothes on his chest were cut open.

If Xu Chu had been a little slower, Cao Cao's life would have been given here.

Seizing Chang Shi's knife, Xu Chu grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Xu Chu is a powerful general in the world, and carrying the servant is like carrying a chicken.

Lifted by him with one hand, Chang Attendant kicked his legs non-stop, grasping his hand with both hands, trying to break free from Xu Chu's grasp.

Xu Chu turned his head to look at Cao Cao, seeing Cao Cao's face was full of anger, and his expression was still flustered, and he used some strength to pinch Chang Shi's neck.

He only heard the sound of "Gaba", and he actually cut off the servant's neck abruptly.

"How did Zhongkang kill him?" Xu Chu killed Chang Shi, Cao Cao said with a stampede, "We should let him live so that we can find out who is behind the scenes."

"I saw Mr. Cao didn't say anything just now, so I used some strength with my hands." Throwing the body of Chang Shi aside, Xu Chu bowed and confessed.

"Forget it, if it weren't for you, I would have been murdered by a thief today." Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie, and asked in a cold tone: "Your Majesty wouldn't be completely ignorant of why the people around His Majesty wanted to assassinate me." love?"

Cao Cao's complexion was not good, and his tone was very cold. Liu Xie bowed his body, and after listening to his words, he shivered tremblingly.

"Cao Gong Mingjian." Liu Xie replied tremblingly: "This person has not been with me for a few days. If I knew that he had such vicious thoughts, I would definitely not keep him."

"Earlier, Dong Chengyi carried an edict, but today he often carries a knife." Cao Cao sneered, "If you say that these things have nothing to do with Your Majesty, I'm afraid even Your Majesty will not believe it."

"Be sure to ask Mr. Cao to find out about this matter." Liu Xie bowed to Cao Cao and said in a flustered expression: "I can only be here today because of Mr. Cao's protection, otherwise I would have been killed by thieves without knowing where. Cao Cao The Duke has unlimited kindness to the big man and to me. How could I murder Duke Cao?"

"Your Majesty, get up." Cao Cao raised his hand, "Chang Shi intends to assassinate, I will investigate this matter clearly. I came here to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to crusade against Lu Bu. If Your Majesty refuses to agree, then forget it." .”

Before Liu Xie could respond, he greeted Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, let's go!"

"Dr. Cao, please stay!" Cao Cao was about to leave, Liu Xie hurriedly said: "I will issue an edict!"

Ordering the guards outside to fetch pens and ink, Cao Cao sat aside and watched Liu Xie draw up the edict: "Your Majesty's edict is becoming more and more familiar. If you are as diligent and diligent as your majesty, in the future the great Han will be unified, and you will be able to sit firmly as the emperor. throne."

Xu Chu took the edict from Liu Xie and handed it to Cao Cao with both hands.

After reading the edict word by word, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction: "So, thank you, Your Majesty!"

He stood up and walked to the door.

At the door, Cao Cao turned around and said to Liu Xie: "With me here, the world will be unified sooner or later. I hope Your Majesty will not cause any troubles that should not happen in the future. I hope this matter today has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Otherwise ..."

After snorting twice, Cao Cao turned and left with Xu Chu.

Standing at the door, bowing to watch Cao Cao and Xu Chu go away, Liu Xie straightened up and raised his sleeve to wipe his forehead.

Two guards stepped forward, Liu Xie glanced back at the corpse in the room, and waved at them: "Hurry up and take it away!"

The guard entered the house and left with the corpse.

After Liu Xie returned to the house, he turned around and closed the door.

Empress Fu came out of the inner room.

Seeing Liu Xie's flustered appearance, Empress Fu asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"What happened just now, did you not hear anything?" Liu Xie asked Empress Fu.

"The concubine has heard a little bit." Empress Fu said, "It seems that a servant failed to assassinate Cao Cao, and he blamed it on His Majesty."

"Where did this regular attendant come from?" Liu Xie asked Fuhou, "I remember he was recommended by you."

"I just recommended him, but I didn't know that he actually had thoughts that would be unfavorable to Cao Cao." Knowing that Liu Xie was cowardly and did not dare to do anything that would be unfavorable to Cao Cao, Empress Fu certainly would not say too much to him: "If If I had known that he would do these things, my concubine would not have allowed him to come to His Majesty's side."

There are actually other meanings hidden in Queen Fu's words.

She was nothing more than telling Liu Xie that if she had known that Chang Shi had failed to assassinate Cao Cao, she would never have arranged for Liu Xie.

However, Liu Xie didn't hear anything from her words, and just sighed and said: "Poor man just now, I don't even know his name. I know he is a loyal man, but I can only let others put his body to death." Drag it away, and there is no way to do it for him even a burial."

"I heard that Lü Bu and Yuan Shao are uniting to attack Cao Cao." Empress Fu said, "Yuan Shao will not say anything. He opposed His Majesty's ascension to the throne in his early years. Even if His Majesty went to Hebei, there is no difference between him and Cao Cao. But Lu Bu But it is different, when Wang Yun persuaded Lv Bu to resist Dong Zhuo, he led the army to defend Chang'an. If Li Jue and Guo Si were not powerful and could not resist with his strength, he would not have given up on His Majesty..."

"I also hope that Lu Bu can win." Liu Xie sighed: "Lu Bu is my last hope, but just now I issued another edict to attack him, and I don't know if he will defeat Cao Cao in the future, will he forgive me..."

"Your Majesty can't help himself, can he not know?" Empress Fu said, "It would be great if someone could send a letter to Lu Bu."

"When it's urgent, don't cause trouble again." Liu Xie replied, "When Lu Bu breaks Cao Cao, I will explain to him."

Knowing that Liu Xie was unwilling to cause trouble, Empress Fu didn't say anything anymore, she leaned forward and said, "My concubine understands."

Chang Shi assassinated Cao Cao in front of Liu Xie.

If it happened, Cao Cao's generals who were loyal to him would probably kill Liu Xie on the spot regardless of whether Liu Xie was the emperor.

Now that there is no success, Cao Cao already has a grudge against Liu Xie in his heart.

Although he gave Cao Cao an edict, after he left, Liu Xie always felt uneasy.

After being married to him for many years, Empress Fu couldn't see what he was thinking.

Knowing that he wanted to be alone, Empress Fu said: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood, I will leave first, and I will come to talk with Your Majesty when I am in a better mood."

"Alright." Liu Xie nodded: "You go first, I want to be alone for a while."

Empress Fu resigned and left, and Liu Xie sat down in the room.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is now at the mercy of others like a puppet.

At that time, his elder brother Liu Bian was abolished by Dong Zhuo and then killed.

Dong Zhuo helped Liu Xie to the throne of the emperor. Since then, he has been in panic all day long and has become a puppet at the mercy of others.

He also tried to break free from the shackles of fate and gather a group of forces in his hands to change the decline of the Han Dynasty.

However, the troubled times have come, and the hearts of the people have long turned their backs on the big man. Heroes from all over the country support themselves, and they all use the banner of helping the big man, but how many of them really want to support the big man?

For heroes from all walks of life, he is just a bargaining chip to earn more benefits in this world.

Whoever gets him can command the world.

As for revitalizing the heroism of the great man...

I'm afraid not many people have really thought about it...

The decline of the big man did not happen overnight.

Ever since Emperor Huan succeeded to the throne, he only knew how to play all day long, searching for the people's fat and anointing from all over the place, so that officials from all over the place took the opportunity to enrich their own pockets and squeeze the people, and the suffering of the people reached its peak for a while.

Finally, Emperor Huan died, and Emperor Ling succeeded him.

The common people thought it would be better to change the emperor, but Emperor Ling was just as fun-loving as Emperor Huan.

The search for people's fat and people's anointment is still going on, the people are miserable, and if they catch up with the heavens, they will perish the big man. Under the years of disasters, people are starving and dying. The Zhang Jiao brothers took the opportunity to start the Taiping Road and set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

If at this time, Emperor Ling could dispatch officials and troops from all over the country to suppress it in time, so as to firmly stabilize the imperial power, and he would not allow heroes to support themselves.

But he was confused because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He didn't realize that the Yellow Turbans burned, killed and looted all the way. The people hated the Yellow Turbans more than the officers and soldiers.

The recruiting of rebels by the heroes of the Quartet did serve the purpose of quickly destroying the Yellow Turbans, but it also planted endless hidden dangers for the Han Dynasty.

The hero who holds the military power in his hand, after the Yellow Turban is suppressed, who will surrender his military power?

For their own selfish interests, heroes and heroes attacked each other, and there were constant struggles within the palace.

Emperor Ling passed away, the young emperor Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, and the great general He Jin, who did not grow his brains, ordered Dong Zhuo to be transferred from Xiliang to Luoyang in order to deal with the rebellion of the ten permanent attendants.

The ten permanent attendants are easy to deal with, as long as He Jin can mobilize a small number of soldiers and horses, they can be completely wiped out.

But He Jin chose to die, entered the palace alone, and was killed by the men who were ambushing secretly by the ten permanent servants.

When Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, the Shichang Shi Rebellion had been put down, but he further controlled Luoyang City by relying on his large number of soldiers and horses.

Later, Dong Zhuo disrupted the court and abolished the establishment with his good words. Not only did he abolish Liu Bian and Liu Xie helped him to the throne, but he even wanted to kill the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty. He forced the Han Dynasty to move its capital to Chang'an.

If any one thing is taken out alone, it is impossible to pose a fatal threat to the big man.

However, the house leaked and rained continuously, and many things came together in series. The foundation of the Han Dynasty was finally shaken, and Liu Xie, who was the emperor, was finally reduced to Cao Cao's puppet.

The imperial power has declined, and the great man has reached the critical point of life and death, but Liu Xie, who is the emperor, can't do anything.

Walking to the window and looking at the scenery outside the window, Liu Xie felt endless sadness in his heart, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks...
