Chapter 417 The Emperor Dies

Cao Cao rushed back to the palace immediately, but when he saw Liu Bian's body was covered with a white cloth, he suddenly lifted it.

"Cao Mengde! How dare you be so rude to His Majesty! Liu Zhang and I are both relatives of the Han family, how can you insult His Majesty's corpse!" Liu Biao and Liu Zhang dared to come immediately after hearing the news, angrily accusing Cao Cao.

Xun Yu hurriedly took a step forward, blocked the way of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang with his back, and bowed to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister! There is something strange about this matter. Murdering Your Majesty is a crime of treason. The Prime Minister must find out the murderer and return justice to the world. Xu Chu General, where is the queen?"

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao, who originally wanted to kill Liu Biao and Liu Zhang directly, calmed down again.

Xu Chu quickly turned to the lord, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Empress Fu is missing, and Mrs. Dong Gui is pregnant, so she just knelt there."

After hearing Xu Chu's words, Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he hurried up to Dong Guiren, and shouted, "Chuan Tai Physician! Please give the best of the twenty Chengdu ones, and make sure to hug Longzi! Order Cao Pi and Cao Zhang to take him with you." The entire city is under martial law, and the assassin must be found! Yes, let the matter of the assassin be put aside first, and find Queen Fu first!"

Cao Cao gradually calmed down, he seemed to understand many things.

"Cao Mengde, today I heard that you captured Dong Guozhang outside the city. Now that His Majesty is being murdered, is it because of you!" Liu Biao sternly scolded Cao Cao, wishing he could rush before Cao Cao and bring him to justice.

"Xu Chu, send the two of you back home, and don't allow them to see any officials." Not wanting to discuss with Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, he turned around and took a deep breath to calm down.

Xun Yu was dizzy and dizzy, he almost vomited blood when he heard the news, but fortunately, Dong Guiren had dragon seeds in his stomach, and the dragon veins were not broken.

"Tell Yuan Shao, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Yang Xiu!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and he calmed down completely, guessing that the matter must have something to do with Han Wu.

Half an hour later, Yang Xiu, Jia Xu, Yuan Shao, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Li Ru all arrived at the prime minister's residence. The courtyard was heavily guarded to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The entire city of Chengdu is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Li Ru took off the mask, Xun Yu recognized him, and his heart was even more shocked.In the past, he only saw a masked entourage beside the prime minister, but Xun Yu didn't know that this person was Li Ru.

But now recalling the reason why the prime minister went south, and many strategies, he also understood it all.

"This matter is no small matter. Your Majesty died, and the world is in chaos. Han Wu just withdrew his troops, and I am afraid that he will bring chaos to the Central Plains. Fortunately, Dong Gui still has dragon sons in his belly, so he can take care of them, and the Han Dynasty will continue." Cao Cao's head ached a little. , His head wind made a mistake again.

Li Ru smiled darkly, and said: "It's just a dragon son, who hasn't been born yet, how do you know a man and a woman? Empress Fu is an orthodox harem, and I heard that she also has a son in her womb, and now she is missing... I am afraid that this matter has something to do with Han Wu. The world is not Liu We will be crowned as the king, and we will fight together. When your majesty dies, Han Wu will be crowned king."

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, but he was shocked by Li Ru's resourcefulness.

Yang Xiu shouldn't have spoken, but he spoke bluntly, saying: "Prime Minister, Dong Cheng assassinated the Prime Minister today, but this person must not be killed. Dong Cheng is Dong Guiren's father, no matter whether the dragon child in Dong Guiren's belly is male or female...but If Dong Cheng is killed, the prime minister will not be able to argue."

"Prime Minister, I have already found out who the assassin is. The assassin is a soldier under Han Wu's command. It was Han Wu's people who murdered His Majesty! Han Wu wanted to become king, so he conspired against him. He is a traitor from the rebellious party!" Yang Xiuyi said righteously, for Cao Cao opened up a way out.

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu kept silent, but they all admired Yang Xiu's intelligence and courage.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and said: "Meng De, you and I grew up, and now in times of crisis, I won't talk nonsense with you. What Mr. Yang said is very true. I think Mr. Yang must have a plan, right?"

Squinting his eyes, Yuan Shao and even Cao Cao have a temper.

Cao Cao also bowed his head slightly, and said, "Okay! There is a side room next to it, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Yang Xiu and Zhicai stay here, and the others sit in the side room, let me calm down."

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes. He is not in a good condition now, and he really needs to rest.

After everyone else had left, Cao Cao covered his forehead and asked eagerly, "Master Yang, don't go around in circles, just say what you think."

Yang Xiu nodded, panicking in his heart, but there was no ink stain.

"Returning to Prime Minister, it is not a problem whether Mrs. Dong Gui is pregnant with a dragon child. Even if she is a princess, a man can be exchanged for a woman. It does not matter whether Queen Fu has a dragon child in her belly. She has a woman in her belly. Assassinating the emperor is treason. Han Fu didn't have the guts, but Han Wu did. Han Wu was nothing more than to become king, he would send someone to rescue Empress Fu, and then announce to the world that Empress Fu had given birth to a dragon son."

"However, the prime minister can tell the world that Empress Fu's birth is a princess, and it is clearly stated that Han Wu sent someone to assassinate your majesty! I have another plan, but it is too insidious, and it is not done by a gentleman." Yang Xiu's forehead was full of sweat, no matter what. Dare to go on.

Cao Cao kept nodding, he thought that Yang Xiu's thoughts were really fast and accurate.

Li Ru sighed, and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare to say it? This plan is nothing more than slandering Han Wu for robbing Empress Fu, filling her inner room, and fornicating the empress. Once the two serious crimes of rebellion and fornicating the empress are committed, it is considered a crime." Lu Bu will also temporarily attack Han Wu. The prime minister lost the advantage of coercing the emperor to command the princes, but in exchange for the disadvantage of Han Wu's rebellion, hehe!"

Li Ru couldn't help shaking his head, obviously congratulating Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was puzzled, and asked instead: "Such a conspiracy is indeed cruel, but... Han Wu becomes king, and this prime minister will... No! I can make Dong Guiren's heir the son of heaven. Canonize Liu Bei as the king of Chu, and Sun Quan as the king of Wu King, Lu Bu is the king of Qi. In this way, the world will be in chaos, Han Wumin's heart will be scattered, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go south in 20 years!"

Jia Xu sighed, interjected rarely, and said, "Prime Minister and Master Yang are too optimistic. Han Wu has a counselor Guo Jia under his command, how could he not have thought of such a plan? I'm afraid Han Wu already has a countermeasure, but Even if it is to resolve the disadvantages brought by this conspiracy, it will indeed take ten years. But after ten years, Han Wuke can secure the throne. Within ten years, the prime minister will join forces with Liu Bei and Sun Quan to attack Han Wu and destroy his vitality. "

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement, he thought Jia Xu thought the most thoughtful way.

It is impossible for Han Wu to have no way to deal with the latter, but it will indeed take a few years to resolve the conspiracy.

"Prime Minister, this matter is not trivial, and needs to be considered in the long term. However, the matter of becoming king can be adopted, but only after Han Fu becomes king." Xi Zhicai summed it up.

Less than a day after the emperor passed away, rumors began to circulate in Yongliang, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Sili, and Yangzhou that Cao Cao assassinated His Majesty the Emperor in order to rebel and proclaim himself emperor.Empress Fu escaped from Yizhou with the dragon child in her belly and went to Jizhou to seek refuge.And the news has spread that Cao Cao is about to issue an edict to frame Hussar General Han Fu and Jingzhou Inspector Liu Bei.Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu helped Zhou to abuse him and supported Cao Cao in proclaiming himself emperor.

These news were all plotted by Han Wu and Guo Jia, and they were ready to spread three months ago.

Moreover, Guo Jia also conspired for a long time, thinking of all Cao Cao's strategies to frame the lord, and prepared in advance.

Han Wu said a novel word to Guo Jia about this: "Public opinion war!"
