The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177

Cao Cao finally understood why Liu Xie felt comfortable living in Yecheng.

Although Yuan Xu was also using the imperial power, he gave the emperor full freedom.

Wherever he wants to go, as long as there are enough guards around him, no one will obstruct him.

Although the matters dealt with are small, there are occasional opportunities to get angry and scold those small officials.

As an emperor, if he didn't even have these things, he would feel so aggrieved that life would be worse than death.

Cao Cao used to restrain Liu Xie too much, making him feel like a puppet being pulled by strings, so he was very hostile to him.

Liu Xie categorically denied the clothing belt edict back then, but Cao Cao always felt that it must have something to do with him.

Cao Cao really wanted to ask about the clothing belt edict.

But thinking that Concubine Dong died in his hands, it was hard to ask.

If he didn't mention it, of course Liu Xie wouldn't mention it either.

After checking what was missing in the palace, Cao Cao resigned and left.

Looking at his back, Fu Hou said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I feel that Cao Mengde seems to be very different from before."

"Of course he is different." Liu Xie said: "At the beginning he was so powerful, and I was also afraid of him. Now that Yuan Xianxin has captured him and made him the master book, is it possible that he will still be as domineering as before?"

He bowed his head and nodded: "Cao Cao is indeed a little different. His majesty's recent behavior also makes my concubine unable to understand."

Liu Xie looked at her in surprise: "What does the queen mean?"

"The affairs that His Majesty handles are nothing more than trivial matters." Fuhou said, "The military and political power are all in the hands of Yuan Xianxin."

"So what?" Liu Xie replied, "I've also figured it out recently. The Great Han Dynasty has already collapsed. No matter what I do, it is impossible to raise the temple again. Yuan Xianxin is not strong enough now, and when he sweeps the world At that time, would it still be possible to hand over the country to me?"

"Does Your Majesty want to watch the Great Han Temple change hands?" Fuhou asked.

"Although Cao Mengde used to be a traitor, he taught me one thing." Liu Xie said: "What is lost is lost after all. All these years, I have always regarded myself as the son of heaven. But looking at the world, how many people really Do you take me seriously? Didn’t Dong Cheng and Liu Xuande want to take me away from Cao Mengde back then? Would it be better to fall under their hands than to be coerced by Cao Mengde?”

Fu Hou was completely dumbfounded.

Since coming to Yecheng, she found that Liu Xie was very different from before.

Today's Liu Xie has no idea of ​​revitalizing the Han Dynasty at all.

He's like a walking dead, and a walking dead enjoying his current situation!
After returning to Yecheng, Yuan Xu and Zhen Mi got tired of being together the first day.

It wasn't until the next day that he went to Sangan that he invited Guo Jia to come.

Seeing Guo Jia, Yuan Xu's first sentence was to ask: "Cheng Zhongde is willing to work?"

"At first he refused, but after he got a letter from Cao Mengde, he finally agreed." Guo Jia asked Yuan Xu, "Young master has destroyed the Cao family this time. How do you plan to settle down?"

"How do you think it should be settled?" Yuan Xu asked him.

"The Cao family was very prosperous back then." Guo Jia replied, "Now that Young Master has taken over the power of the Cao family, I think they should at least give them a happy life."

Guo Jia was also under Cao Cao's command and had some feelings for the Cao family.

Yuan Xu nodded: "What you said, I actually thought about it a long time ago."

"The young master ordered Cao Mengde to be the master book. I wonder if it is for humiliation?" Guo Jia asked.

"Feng Xiao thinks I'm humiliating him?" Yuan Xu asked back.

"Probably not." Guo Jia replied: "With your son's heart, it will definitely not happen."

"Since it will never happen, why shouldn't it be?" Yuan Xu said, "Give Cao Mengde a fortune, and he can only eat and wait to die. From then on, he is like a fellow traveler. I let him be the master book, and he doesn't have much power in his hands. But he can participate in many government affairs and military affairs. Talents can be used to the fullest, so that he can play better."

"Young master dare to use him?" Guo Jia was astonished.

Yuan Xu replied, "Why didn't you dare to use it? Was Cao Mengde worried when he used Zhang embroidery?"

Guo Jia replied, "Your Master is right."

"Nowadays in Yecheng, many people belong to his old department." Yuan Xu said: "Including you too, but I believe that you know how to make a choice."

"I followed the young master for a few days before I gave up my heart." Guo Jia replied: "The young master's ability is unprecedented, and people have to be impressed."

"Recently, I plan to take Cao Mengde to Liaodong." Yuan Xu told Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao will take me to see Cheng Zhongde first."

"He has already joined the Young Master's command, so he must be summoned." Guo Jia replied.

"It's the first time I've seen him, so it's better for me to go there." Yuan Xu stood up and greeted Guo Jia: "Let's go over."

Cheng Yu agreed to join Yuan Xu, and Guo Jia also arranged a house for him.

On the day Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng, he also accompanied Liu Xie and others out of the city to welcome them.

But at that time, Yuan Xu was in a hurry to return home and did not summon him.

To Cheng Yu's surprise, on the second day after returning to Yecheng, Yuan Xu actually visited the door in person.

Knowing Yuan Xu's arrival, Cheng Yu greeted him outside the door.

From a distance, he bowed to salute.

Yuan Xu stepped forward and said to him, "Zhongde doesn't need to be too polite."

"I don't know you're coming, but I'm far away from welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me." Cheng Yu replied.

"Although there was hostility in the past, now it's all my family." Yuan Xu said to him generously: "When there are no outsiders, it's good to be casual."

Yuan Xu showed closeness, and Cheng Yu felt uncomfortable for a while.

Not long ago, he went to Liaodong, trying to persuade Gongsun Kang to send troops to attack Yecheng.

Gongsun Kang didn't do that, instead he was tied up and sent to Hebei.

I thought it was impossible to live anymore, but what I didn't expect was that Cao Cao actually wrote a letter, urging him to join him.

With Cao Cao's letter, Cheng Yu took refuge in the Yuan family as a matter of course.

"I wonder if there is any good wine here in Zhongde." Yuan Xu suddenly asked inexplicably.

"It's not long since I settled in Yecheng." Cheng Yu replied, "There really isn't any good wine. If Young Master likes wine, I'll get some someday."

"That's not necessary, I have some." Guo Jia ordered the guards to bring up the wine he had brought.

The guard stepped forward holding two bottles of wine.

The bottle is a transparent glass bottle, which has already amazed Cheng Yu.

There was no glass at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this kind of utensil for holding wine has been sold for sky-high prices on the black market.

"Feng Xiao's wine is..." Cheng Yu couldn't help but want to ask the source of the wine.

Guo Jia replied: "Young Master gave it to you. During festivals, Young Master will make some wine and tea and give it to those who work under his command."

"Actually, I have obtained the formula for brewing wine." Yuan Xu said to Cheng Yu: "It's just that there is not enough food to be spoiled at will, so the winery has not been built for the time being, and I just occasionally brew some in the farm to give away."

"Young master, please come in." Cheng Yu let him aside: "There is no good wine, but I can buy some dishes."
