Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84
After Li Song returned to Bingzhou, he handed over the affairs of Bingzhou to Liu Bowen and Xu Maogong, and he played around with Cai Wenji.

"My lord! The envoy sent to Chang'an to meet the emperor has returned." Early in the morning, the guards hurriedly came to Li Song's room, and said to Li Song who was standing in front of the bronze mirror, changing clothes under the service of Cai Wenji.

"Where is he now?" Li Song turned his head and asked the guard behind him.

"Now wait in the hall." The guard said respectfully.

"Okay! I see, you go down first!" Li Song looked back at himself in the bronze mirror and said, the guard bowed his hands and retreated.

Cai Wenji put the hair crown on him and helped him tie the belt. Li Song took the opportunity to hug her, kissed her on the face, and regarded the maid standing beside her as air.

"Husband, don't mess around!" Cai Wenji said with a shy face and rolled her eyes at Li Song.

"Hahaha! We are old couples, so what's the point of embarrassment!" Li Song laughed loudly, looking at his lovely wife in his arms.

"Husband! You should go to business! Don't be gossiped!" Cai Wenji pushed Li Song and said.

"Alright! Stay at home and wait for me to come back obediently!" Li Song said, let go of Cai Wenji, and turned around to leave the house under the watchful eyes of all the maids.

"My lord!" Li Song came to the main hall with Zhou Cang, the commander of the personal guards. The envoy who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly knelt down to meet Li Song.

"No need to be too polite! Get up! Sit down and talk!" Li Song knelt on the master seat and said to his kneeling subordinates.

"Thank you, my lord!" The man got up to thank him, and knelt down beside him.

"Is there anything I can gain from going to Chang'an this time?" Li Song asked after he sat down on his knees.

"My lord! When I arrived in Chang'an, there was an incident where Li Jue ordered his nephew, Hu Feng, the riding captain, to stab Wannianhou and right general Fan Chou to death at a banquet."

"Later, Da Sima, Marquis of Chiyang Li Jue, General Hou and Marquis of Meiyang Guo Si fought with each other, and Chang'an was in chaos. If it wasn't for me being the lord's envoy, they would have been afraid to see you again."

The man told Li Song everything he had seen and heard in Chang'an.

In the second year of Xingping (AD 195), Li Jue and Guo Si, who hijacked Emperor Xian to control the government, finally fought each other because of mutual suspicion. During this year, Chang'an City, which had been silent for a few years, was once again involved in the flames of war.

At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty missed even more. He was born in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and wanted to return to the place where he stayed when he was a child. Intend.

"That is to say, the Son of Heaven was hijacked by Li Jue and taken to his barracks, while the ministers Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi and others went to make peace with Guo Si, but were instead detained by Guo Si." Li Song touched Cheek, sitting obliquely and the main seat on the way.

"Yes! My subordinates speculate that maybe because of this, the emperor's heart to return to Luoyang is more determined." The man looked at Li Song and said.

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven thinks that everything will be fine when he returns to Luoyang?" Li Song asked with a smile.

"Here, I don't dare to speculate on the thoughts of the Son of Heaven!" The man hurriedly fell down on the ground, and said with some fear, after all, the Son of Heaven is a body of gold, high above the sky, like the scorching sun above the sky, how could he be like this? People can make wild guesses.

"When did I ask you to speculate on the thoughts in the emperor's heart, get up!" Li Song said angrily, "Is there anything else besides these?"

"Also!" The man got up and knelt down, "The head of the state, Dong Cheng, suggested to the emperor to call on the princes of the world to send troops. While Li Jue and Guo Si are still fighting, go and escort the emperor back to Luoyang."

"The Son of Heaven has already agreed to the suggestion of Dong Cheng, the head of the state, and sent people out of Chang'an to spread the edict to the princes. When the subordinate returned to Bingzhou, he asked the subordinate to hand over the edict to the Lord."

The man said it!He took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Li Song. Zhou Cang stepped forward to take the yellow silk, turned around and handed it to Li Song.

Li Song didn't open it right away to read it, but played with it for a while, because he had already guessed about the content inside. He opened the yellow silk, and the content written inside was similar to what he thought.

In the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Dong Cheng drafted an edict, calling on the princes from all walks of life to escort Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and promised many official positions and titles. After all, these were the only things the emperor could do.

Among the princes who were able to meet Han Xiandi this time, I am afraid that Li Song's family is the only one. As for the other princes, they are naturally waiting and watching.

As for the attitude of the princes towards the emperor, the weak princes said that it was a blessing to be able to keep their one-acre three-point land, and there was nothing they could do to protect the emperor.

The powerful princes have already passed the days of being the boss, and suddenly they are asked to escort an emperor who only has the title of emperor. It is more practical than expanding their own territory.

"You must be tired after traveling all the way. You should go down and rest first! I still need to discuss with the military adviser about the matter of the emperor, and then make plans." Li Song said.

"Resignation, subordinate!" The man got up, came to the middle, bowed his hands and bowed out.

"Come here!" After he left, Li Song shouted towards the door, and the guard outside the door entered, bowing his hands and saluting, "You go and call the generals and all the adults here to discuss matters."

"No!" The guards took the order and left, and soon notified Liu Bowen and others. They came to the hall one after another, and Cao Cao and Xun Yu were among them.

After Li Song watched the people arrive, he first gave an impassioned speech, and then said: "Now, I plan to send troops from Bingzhou to meet the emperor, what do you think?"

"My lord! If we welcome the emperor, where should we put the emperor? Where should we welcome him? Luoyang?" Gao Shun stood up and said.

"The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, what position does he need to take? What's wrong with Luoyang?" Li Song said.

"My lord! Now Luoyang is in a mess, and there is no place for people to live. If you welcome the emperor to Luoyang, are you planning to let the emperor sleep in the ruins?"

"Nowadays, Luoyang is short of food and grass. It can't be solved in a day. What's more, the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan and Yingchuan are not weak. If they plot against Luoyang, what will be used to resist it." Xiang Yu also stood up and said. .

Li Song's generals stood up one after another and opposed Li Song's welcoming of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In their view, doing so would not do any good, but might hinder them.

Li Song looked at the quarrelsome generals sitting here, and couldn't help shaking his head. How could these people see the big picture? If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked them to discuss it. I just made a decision and finalized the matter, wouldn't it be over!

Li Song looked over these generals, only to find that besides these noisy people, there were four other people who did not speak, but sat there, watching the development of the gaffe.

These four people are Liu Bowen, who smiled without saying a word, shaking his feather fan lightly; Xu Maogong, who lowered his head but didn't know what he was thinking about; , Cao Cao sitting there drinking tea.
