Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 205 One Country Two Emperors

The old man brought Cao Xiu and Qin Zhen to the gatehouse. After a while, Cao Xiu suddenly covered his stomach and said, "I'm feeling unwell, let's go out for a while!"

The old man nodded, knowing that the young man wanted to make things easier.It was already raining heavily outside at this time, so the owner probably wouldn't come out at this time, presumably he wouldn't see a stranger coming to the house.

Cao Xiu went to the gatehouse, but instead of looking for a convenient place in the dark, he went straight to the main house of the family.Cao Xiu is not weak in martial arts, and he is regarded as the best among the young people under Cao Cao's command, so when Cao Xiu came to the window of the main house, he was not noticed by the owner.

Cao Xiu quietly looked into the room and saw two men in brocade robes sitting inside.Sitting in the upper hand is a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, he is rather handsome, sitting in the room and reading a book at this time; the lower hand is a man with gray hair, what Cao Xiu wonders is, this; the old man's face is bald Yes, there is no beard.

At this time, the boy said: "Mum, I'm tired!"

"Since master is tired, go back to your room and rest!" The old man spoke, but his voice was a little shrill.

No beard on face, high-pitched voice?Cao Xiu immediately thought that this person might be an eunuch.The success of the Cao family was entirely dependent on the great eunuch Cao Teng. As a member of the Cao family, Cao Xiu did not reject eunuchs in his heart, and he even had a close relationship with them.

Cao Xiu stayed for a while, but seeing that there was nothing interesting, he turned and left.

After the rain stopped, Cao Xiu and Qin Zhen left the family. Cao Xiu told Qin Zhen what he had seen and heard.Speaking of which, Qin Zhen's mind is more flexible than Cao Xiu's. When he heard the young man call the old man "Aunt", a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

After Qin Zhen finished listening, he didn't say a word, but began to think quietly.Cao Xiu saw Qin Zhen like this, so he shouted: "Hey, what are you thinking, so engrossed in thinking?"

Qin Zhen came back to his senses: "Wen Lie, I heard that the former emperor often called Zhang Rang his father and Zhao Zhong his mother. Later, when the eunuchs killed He Jin, Yuan Shao took advantage of this to attack the palace. Later, Zhang Rang jumped into the Yellow River. Most of the ten permanent attendants died, only the eldest prince and Zhao Zhong are missing, you can see if it is..."

At this time, a group of cavalry came running in the distance, and the banners were soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's command.At this time, the team also saw Cao Xiu and Qin Zhen.The leader immediately shouted: "There are two young masters Cao Xiu and Qin Zhen in front of you?"

In a blink of an eye, the visitors approached, seeing that it was Cao Xiu and Qin Zhen, they hurriedly dismounted, and the leader said: "Mr. Qin Zhen, something serious happened to your family, you should go back to the city!"

……

Qin Zhen returned home in a hurry, seeing his family members all dressed in mourning, Qin Zhen immediately stayed at the door.

Qin Zhen's father Qin Shao and uncle Qin Nan both worked under Cao Cao.After Cao Cao entered Xuchang, the territory was already connected with Yuan Shu's territory.Yuan Shu was not someone to be easily provoked, but Yuan Shu's army was still near Shouchun at this time, so he was powerless to use troops against Cao Cao.Therefore, Yuan Shu had to make some small moves against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was named the Inspector of Yuzhou by the imperial court, while Huang Wan, the original Inspector of Yuzhou, lost his position. For this, Huang Wan hated Cao Cao very much, and Yuan Shu took advantage of this, so Yuan Shu and the two hit it off and prepared to deal with Cao Cao.

However, the news leaked from Yuan Shu. The news happened to be learned by Qin Zhen's uncle, Qin Nan. Then Qin Nan passed the news to Qin Zhen's father, Qin Shao, and Qin Shao immediately notified Cao Cao in secret.

After Huang Wan learned of the leak, he immediately killed Qin Shao, and at the same time, Yuan Shu also killed Qin Nan.

Because Qin Shao and Qin Nan thought Cao Cao died, Cao Cao decided to accept Qin Zhen as his son.From then on, Qin Zhen changed his name to Cao Zhen.

After Qin Shao's funeral was over, Cao Zhen immediately thought of the family he had encountered in sheltering from the rain last time, so Cao Zhen immediately told Cao Cao.

Others don't know Zhao Zhong, but many of Cao Cao's subordinates do, such as Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew, and Cao Cao himself have also met Zhao Zhong.

Cao Cao immediately sent someone to monitor the family in secret, and then secretly went to check it out himself. Although Zhao Zhong was a little older, he had a pretty good life these past few years. When he escaped from the palace, Zhao Zhong took a lot of people with him. It was a valuable thing, so Zhao Zhong and the young emperor didn't suffer any hardships these years, so Cao Cao recognized the gray-haired old man as Zhao Zhong at a glance.

……

"Feng Xiao, what should we do at this time? That old man is actually Zhao Zhong! Doesn't that mean that young man is..." Cao Cao didn't finish his sentence, he expected Guo Jia to give him an answer.

Cao Cao is very embarrassed at this time, Liu Bian's identity is too special!When Emperor Ling passed away, He Jin supported Liu Bian to ascend the throne, but within a month, the eunuch staged a coup and Liu Bian disappeared.Later, when Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, he took out a copy of the imperial edict of the Lingdi that he did not know where to get, and made Liu Xie the emperor, who is now the Emperor Xian of Chang'an.

But there is a problem here, that is how to arrange Liu Bian.At that time, Liu Bian disappeared, but he didn't see the body. It can be said that there is no one who is alive but no dead body. It is also because of this reason that Liu Bian does not have a temple name. Just imagine how people who are not dead can give him a temple name.

Dong Zhuo originally wanted to abolish Liu Bian, but Liu Bian had only been on the throne for only one month, and he had no faults. If he made up his mind, I am afraid that people in the world would not accept it. In this world, Liu Bian was not a big threat to Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo didn't take care of Liu Bian's affairs.It is also because of this that Liu Bian still has the title of emperor in name.

However, the heavens did not follow people's wishes, and the princes united to overthrow Dong. The reason was that Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the harem and did "disrespectful things" to Queen Mother He.

But now Emperor Xian has been on the throne for many years, and all the civil and military officials are in Chang'an, which makes Liu Bian's status now embarrassing.As the saying goes, there are no two masters in a country. Once Liu Bian's identity is revealed, it will make people in the world in a dilemma.

At this time, Guo Jia had already made up his mind, and he only heard Guo Jia say with a smile: "My lord, this is a great opportunity. My lord should make preparations immediately to welcome His Majesty back to Luoyang!"

"Following filial piety is asking me to support the eldest prince as emperor?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

"Not bad!"

"But Chang'an..."

"The one in Chang'an was established by Dong Zhuo! And Your Majesty is the eldest son of the first emperor!" Guo Jia explained the key point.

Liu Bian is the eldest son of the direct line, so Liu Bian should take the throne after the death of Emperor Ling.And Liu Xie was supported by Dong Zhuo. Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, all the princes of the world think Dong Zhuo is a traitor. The authenticity is doubtful, so the legitimacy of Emperor Xian supported by Dong Zhuo is indeed a problem.

After a long time, Cao Cao finally made a decision.
