Lu's relatives

Chapter 547
To live under the fence, one must have the awareness to live under the fence. Obviously, all the officials, including the emperor, did not have such an idea.Perhaps it was because when Cao Cao "took over" from Lu Bu, he was too respectful and humble, and in order to prevent the world from comparing him with Yuan Shao's coercion of the emperor to order the princes, he never restricted the emperor and courtiers on the bright side. Coupled with Cao Cao's focus on expansion, he has always adopted a cold-eyed and laissez-faire attitude towards the officials headed by Dong Cheng in order to avoid chaos in the camp.This caused many people to regard the fierce tiger who was born as an eunuch of Cao Cao as a guard dog in their hearts.

I don't know that Xuchang, the accompanying capital of the great Han Dynasty, even when Cao Cao mobilized elite soldiers from all over the territory to attack Hebei, he still left enough soldiers to control Xuchang with one-third of the entire army.Now that Cao Cao's squadron is returning, no less than [-] elite soldiers of Cao's army have gathered here.And the one in charge of the defense of Miyagi is Cao Jun's one-in-a-million elite, and Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, is also in charge. It is no exaggeration to say that under such all-weather and multi-directional monitoring, every move of the emperor's hundred officials will only be controlled by Cao Cao. Choose to know or not.That is to say, Cao Cao has always abided by the name of Hanchen, and did not bully the emperor like the two thieves Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, intending to replace him.Otherwise, it would not be just a bloody night in Xuchang, but it would be as simple as making the courtiers calm down a lot.

Now, Cao Cao wants to do something.There is no other reason. In Cao Cao's mind, at least for now, whether it is controlling the five states or sending troops to Hebei, Cao Cao thinks that what he maintains is the country of the great Han. After all, the young emperor who lives in the palace is still surnamed Liu.He eats and drinks for himself, serves him respectfully, and plans to marry his own daughter into the palace, so why can't he still win the trust of the young king?Eat mine, use mine to live in mine, and you want to send your daughter away. You don't treat me like a national soldier, but in the end you stabbed me from behind?In vain, after spending so much effort, even offending Lu Bu, who was just beside the couch, Jizhou, which had just been possible to succeed, was sold.Yes, let's sell it, anyway, I don't feel sorry for the seller, the world belongs to your Liu family, there is nothing to say, but you can get some benefits anyway so that you don't lose money!With just a few words from someone like this, all the arrangements were disrupted, and even Bingzhou was planted with the root of instability. Who knows what is going on in this big man's young emperor?

Although in terms of ethics, Liu Xie and Cao Cao are monarchs and ministers, but in terms of family affairs, Cao Cao thinks that his son-in-law is comparable to father and son, and he has the responsibility and power to teach him how to treat this supreme son-in-law A meritorious minister, how can he distinguish between the primary and the secondary, especially how to "respect the old and love the young"!

So Cao Cao found Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu is the son of the late general Cao Hong, because of the kindness of his father at the beginning, and Cao Xiu was indeed very cautious, and he was also a relative of the Cao family and Cao Cao's son, so he was trusted by Cao Cao and has always been his guardian. By his side, occasionally to help Cao Cao do some "private" things.

The order Cao Xiu received this time is to take over the defense of Miyagi, and secretly find out who is the person who followed Dong Chengjin to Miyagi that day.He was able to convince him because he had experienced Dong Zhuo and Li Guo's two thieves. Liu Xie, who was young but extremely cautious, was able to issue such an edict that would obviously cause Cao Cao's displeasure and affect the relationship between the monarch and his ministers and future Weng and his son-in-law. Come.You know, Cao Cao had already obtained Liu Xie's consent. After returning this time, he sent his eldest daughter Cao Jie into the palace as his concubine.Once he became a relative of the royal family, Cao Cao would not have to be restrained in many ways as he is now.Therefore, on this joint, no one who can influence Liu Xie's mind is allowed to stay in the palace, and they must not be too blatant.The only way to do this was to adjust the defense, let Cao Xiu take advantage of the opportunity to change the guards everywhere in the palace, and strictly investigate.

As for whether the two people who were brought into the palace by Dong Cheng are still in the palace that the servant said, Cao Cao is not worried about this.Regardless of the time it took to persuade Liu Xie, or from the fact that after the guards in the palace found out the clues, Cao Cao was more than [-]% sure that the two men would be with him before his class returned to the court. Did not leave Miyagi.Cao Cao himself is a master of military affairs, if those two people are really the great counselors like Ju Shou or Tian Feng and Yuan Shang who he guessed, he will naturally know that Xuchang City is easier to enter and harder to enter after he has already aroused his own ideas. However, the safest place will definitely not be Dong Cheng's mansion where countless pairs of eyes are staring at, but in the palace city.It is the so-called black under the lamp!
Xuchang's newly built palace city is completely imitated from the old capital of Luoyang. There are hundreds of palaces and houses, filled with palace people and maids from Luoyang to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Xuchang. It was too easy to hide two people in such a big place with so many people.And if Cao Cao really wanted to find someone, it would definitely not be an easy task, no matter his identity, time, or manpower would not allow him.It can be said that if there are really two people that the servant said, according to Cao Cao's speculation, they must be among these people.And the excuse that the emperor will welcome the daughter of the great general Xiaoqi, change the guards in the palace, and have someone clean the palace is undoubtedly the least suspicious.

Cao Cao's military orders in Xuchang are much more effective than the words of the young emperor Liu Xie, who is still in trouble with his government orders.It was just after the third watch, and the more than [-] Cao soldiers who were ordered to guard Miyagi had already begun to change their defenses in an orderly manner.Cao Jun soldiers who had seen the downfall of the emperor, so they inevitably lost their awe, inevitably made a little more noise. The emperor Liu Xie who was awakened did not know what happened. He only saw countless armored soldiers holding torches under the night. Coming and going in the palace confinement, the bright weapons shone blue and cold under the moonlight, so frightened that he didn't even have time to put on his robes, so he hid in the side room until he found that these soldiers seemed to be interested in him, the big man. They didn't have much interest, and under the shouts of their leaders, the school officials and uncles, they just expelled the palace maids and eunuchs from the residence, and casually threw some rags and rags After arriving at one place, he slowly relaxed, and did not dare to put down his airs to ask the soldiers in front of the gate of Suwei Hall, but finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Not good! This group of rebels who have no eyes on the emperor have come to me to find people using this kind of tricks!" Before he could finish his breath, Liu Xie's pale face suddenly changed, revealing a little The look of panic came, and the side view turned out to be a bit ferocious. He seemed to be serving Liu Xie. At this moment, he was already a servant who smelled of urine in his lower body, and he felt warm under his crotch unconsciously.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the current big man has been tossed by several generations of "extreme" emperors, his foundation is already riddled with holes and rotten, and the current young emperor Liu Xie has suffered all kinds of hardships, no matter his heart or temperament. It is much better than those ancestors before.Although Cao Cao's strategy seemed to take a little care of the face of their monarchs and ministers, Liu Xie still saw the clues when Cao's soldiers followed orders.

"Don't be alarmed, the emperor! The last general is just ordered to clean the palace, in case the emperor will be happy with his concubine in the future! The soldiers are grateful for the emperor's kindness, and they all strive to be the first. They don't want to disturb the holy car. The last general is waiting for death!" Perhaps in Hebei The tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who suffered a big setback in the battle and the elite soldiers of the Cao army who had no "opportunity" to fight on the front line before were quite resentful towards the emperor who tripped his lord's back, so the movement was really too loud , when Cao Xiu and Cao Chun arrived, they couldn't help but feel a little hot on their faces.After all, the two are also aboriginals who have been "educated by the emperor" for decades. How can they talk about Liu Xie, the young emperor, behind their backs? They met face to face, and they were still in such an embarrassing situation. The two couldn't help but feel a little hot .But thinking of Cao Cao's order, he still said bravely.

"Cao Aiqing and all the ministers are indeed loyal ministers of my great man!" Liu Xie, who had been afraid of mobilizing troops in the palace ban because of the shadow left by Dong Zhuo and the two thieves before, met Cao Xiu and Cao Chun. The two generals of Cao Jun were so "respectful" talking nonsense, they couldn't help showing a hint of coldness at the corner of their mouths, and said in a deep voice: "Since General Xiaoqi is so anxious to be my father-in-law, then it's up to you Just keep in mind that other places are up to you, but the Chengen Hall in the palace is the temple where I temporarily worship the past emperors, and the Fanghua Garden is the residence of Dong Guiren. Don't be disturbed by waiting! Let's go!"

"No!" Cao Chun and Cao Xiu looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes, bowed their heads and said to Liu Xie.However, he did not notice the same sneer flashing across Liu Xie's eyes.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say a few days ago that the Cheng'en Hall urgently needs to be cleaned, don't let the tablets of the past emperors be covered with dust..." I have been following Liu Xie, and at this moment, the trousers are cold, and I don't know if I am shivering from the cold or from fright. The servant, carefully helping Liu Xie back to the bedroom, seemed to ask casually.

"What do you know! Hmph! They are not cleaning the palace here. Have you ever seen a precedent for ordinary people to clean the house in the middle of the night?" Liu Xie has never dissipated the sneer from the corner of his mouth since he returned to the palace. , Hearing the servant's question, he said something casually, but stopped in time, stared at the servant suspiciously, and then said nothing.When the waiter walked away, Liu Xie let out a sigh of relief, and a ferocious look that did not belong to his age flashed across his face, as if he said to himself: "Huh! What is empty is real, and what is real is empty." , Cao Mengde, this is what you taught me! These two places, one is a place where the tablets of the previous emperors are enshrined, and the other is where the concubines live in the inner palace. They are both good places for Tibetans! Those two clans of yours Lieutenant General, please don’t let go! Otherwise, how can I force you to cut off your own arms, and become a deadly enemy with the useless officials headed by my uncle who looks like a renunciation! Cao Cao! Cao Aiqing, you choose These two people must not let me down..."
