Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Some people are more useful alive than dead, and some people are worse off alive than dead.  Obviously, Huang Zu belonged to the latter, and the shock caused by his head was far greater than the shock caused by his being alive.  At least, that's the case among the two families with the surname Liu.

    Xuchang City, Imperial Palace.

    Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was sitting on a high step, and his ministers were divided on both sides.  The morning sunlight poured in through the carved windows, illuminating the entire hall warmly.  Emperor Xian looked at it from a high position and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.  After moving the capital to Xuchang, Emperor Xian thought he could work hard to govern and be the master of ZTE, but in the end he became a puppet in the hands of powerful ministers.  Speaking of the courtiers standing in the court, except for a few stooped and white-haired veterans and some so-called loyal ministers who had served well in their protection, the emperor could not even name the others.  Compared with the previous days, Emperor Xian felt that there seemed to be a few more new faces. Needless to say, they must be the party members that Cao Cao had carefully recruited.  [bsp; Emperor Xian pressed his forehead, raised his hand and said, "Read it."

    The eunuch beside him cleared his throat, opened the thin silk in his hand, and read: "I am the Marquis of Wu and Sun Ce, the rebellious general, come to the table: Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, does not respect the royal family's rules and regulations, and always harbors the intention of usurping the world. I am in charge of the world."  Well, how dare you not think about repaying me, so I risked my life to fight against Huang Zu at the gate of Jiangxia City. Thanks to the power of God, I defeated the rebel ministers. Afterwards, I killed Huang Zu and spread the news to all directions to establish his majesty. Due to the rush of the matter, I did not report to your majesty in time.  I hereby apologize for my sins and hope that your majesty will forgive me. I wish your majesty good health."

    "The watch and seal were sent to the palace yesterday. I think the prime minister has already seen it." Emperor Xian said helplessly. Now that envoys from all over the world have entered Xuchang City, they all send the watch and seal directly to the minister and prime minister's house. They will wait until Emperor Xian sees it.  When the seal is issued, basically the envoy who replied to the above list is already on his way.

    "I wonder what your minister thinks?" Emperor Xian's voice was slow and lazy, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

    "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is ill today and is unable to go to court. The Prime Minister has entrusted me to give advice to Your Majesty. How Sun Ce responds to this statement depends on His Majesty's decision." Xun Yu left the class and announced.

    "Rely on my decision?" Emperor Xian hesitated.  After so long, he finally had something he could make up his mind about. Emperor Xian was at a loss and could only ask, "What do you think, dear friends?"

    Cao Cao was not in the court, and the ministers also had a chance to speak. His uncle Dong Cheng came out and said: "Your Majesty previously issued an order to Sun Ce and Liu Biao to stop fighting and reconcile. Now Sun Ce not only does not obey your Majesty's order,  , and also killed Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. Your Majesty, although Huang Zu was a subordinate of Liu Biao, he was still a prefect appointed by the imperial court. Once the war breaks out in Jingzhou and all life is devastated, the people will not care who is a loyal minister and who is a rebel.  It¡¯s just that the princes can disobey His Majesty¡¯s will, which is detrimental to the royal family¡¯s reputation!¡±

    Emperor Xian was silent and felt a sharp pain in the tip of his right index finger. Although he was coerced by Cao Cao, the blood edict was indeed issued by him. The promise of allowing Sun Ce to attack Liu Biao was also made by him, but in front of these courtiers  , how can you say it?

    "Your Majesty!" An old minister came out of work tremblingly, his grief and anger palpable, "Sun Ce is arrogant and domineering. He is complacent in not following His Majesty's will. He simply doesn't take His Majesty seriously! I thought that Sun Ce  This move is indistinguishable from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and other traitors. Your Majesty should warn him. If Sun Ce refuses to obey and still acts arbitrarily, your Majesty should send the king's troops to attack him!"

    "I think this move is not advisable." Another veteran minister came forward and said, "In recent years, the princes from all sides have been fighting continuously. I would like to say something disrespectful. Your Majesty's mediation really does not play a big role. If you don't want to fight, just go with it.  After getting off the donkey, those who want to fight will continue to fight. The princes can still maintain respect for the royal family, but it is because they still have their own enemies and greater greed. If they do not use the name of the royal family, the princes are afraid that they cannot  The conquest is justifiable. I believe that if you give a stern warning at this time, it will only intensify the conflict between your Majesty and the princes. If the princes don't even follow the rules in the future, the majesty of the royal family will truly be gone!"

    "What do you mean?" the previous veteran minister was furious, "When they truly become the overlord of one party, will they still have His Majesty and us, a group of ministers loyal to the royal family, in their eyes?"

    "I am only thinking about His Majesty. I don't want someone to step into Xuchang tomorrow and turn this place into the second Eastern Capital and Western Capital!"

    Emperor Xian looked at the noisy old ministers below and frowned slightly. When Cao Cao was here, these old men were all silent, but today they have lost their staleness and everyone is lively and energetic.  In Emperor Xian's view, no matter what, the last fig leaf of the royal family - the majesty he tried his best to maintain in front of the world - had been torn apart by this noise.  The power of the princes in various places is getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor has no military power or financial power in his hands, and has completely become a decoration in the court.  The Han family's empire is now like a Shuanglu chessboard, and I am just a chess piece on it that can be snatched away.?They won¡¯t eat you because they are not hungry enough to choose food.

    With sneers on their faces, Cao Cao's right-hand men quietly listened to the red-faced veterans arguing with each other in the court, just like watching a farce, which made Emperor Xian feel even more shameless.  Emperor Xian listened to the impassioned speeches of these old men, but did not get even a little bit of substantive suggestions. He gradually became anxious and felt a fire in his heart.  Seeing that several old ministers were still quarreling, Emperor Xian couldn't bear it anymore. He patted down the cases in front of him, stood up and wanted to walk away.

    "Your Majesty, please be patient!" A low voice came from down the hall.  Although the voice was not loud, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on it, which instantly extinguished Emperor Xian's anger.  The old ministers who were arguing in the hall also stopped talking, and each of them returned to their previous state of being unable to straighten their waists, and retreated to the back of the crowd.  Emperor Xian stammered: "Cao, Cao, Prime Minister."

    I saw Cao Cao slowly walking up from the hall, holding the hilt of his sword.  Cao Cao glanced around, then bowed slightly to Emperor Xian and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao."

    Emperor Xian tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and pretended to be very calm and said: "I will excuse you. I must have read Sun Ce's seal. How should I reply? I ask you to decide for me."

    Cao Cao laughed softly: "Your Majesty, as ministers, we can only give you advice. The final decision depends on your Majesty. I think there is nothing wrong with Sun Ce's seal."

    Emperor Xian nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and all the ministers in the hall also applauded. They were quite united at this time.

    "Sun Ce's seal did not mean to take credit, but to apologize to His Majesty, which is enough to show his respect and loyalty to Your Majesty. Now that Sun Ce has conquered Jiangxia and his troops are in full swing, Your Majesty might as well issue an edict to commend him and allow him to continue his crusade.  Liu Biao, avenge Sun Wentai. Only in this way can we attract people's hearts. Otherwise, who else will your Majesty have to rely on in the future? Moreover, attacking each other among the princes should be the situation that your Majesty most wants to see. Only in this way can they restrain each other.  , cannot shake His Majesty¡¯s foundation.¡±

    Emperor Xian said: "Yes, yes, what the minister said is extremely reasonable."

    Cao Cao took a few steps forward, took out the imperial edict that had already been written from his sleeve, placed it in front of Emperor Xian, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty will not bother you to do the imperial edict yourself. I have already drafted it for your Majesty. Please stamp it with the emperor's stamp."  Just the seal will do.¡±

    Emperor Xian was stunned for a moment, with a trace of resentment in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.  Emperor Xian pursed his lips: "Where is Fu Baolang? Get my jade seal."
