Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 201. Sima Zhao Proclaims Emperor

The Sima family was definitely one of the best big families in the Cao Wei Cao Wei camp in the late Three Kingdoms period.

In the early days, Cao Cao was a meritocracy and recruited many famous scholars, most of whom were children of aristocratic families. In the later period, due to system reasons, the wings of these people have become full.

Sima Zhao overthrew Cao Wei for that position. Now that the Cao camp has fallen, how could Sima Zhao let Liu Xie go?

In the imperial palace in Xuchang City, Liu Xie sat alone on the dragon chair, watching the empty hall with no one there, couldn't help but sighed.

"The ancestors of the Liu family are here, the unworthy descendants Liu Xie are sorry..."

The imperial edict on the desk has been drawn up. It is an imperial edict to enshrine Zen. Liu Xie has no way out. Regardless of whether he issues the edict or not, there is no way to stop Sima Zhao from proclaiming himself emperor.

Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and everyone in Xuchang City already knows it. Tomorrow is the day when Sima Zhao succeeds to the throne. The 400-year history of the Han Dynasty will come to an end tomorrow.

"Liu Xie, are you ready for the imperial decree?"

A royal soldier wearing stomach armor straddled his sword and rushed straight into the hall. He didn't bow down when he saw Liu Xie, but stood in the center of the hall and scolded Liu Xie.

Since when did Liu Xie, the puppet emperor, become so slaughtered by others, and who pushed him to this step?
Now that even a royal guard dares to scold him with a knife, where is the majesty of the royal family?
Liu Xie: "The imperial edict has been prepared. I hope you can keep your promise!"

Liu Xie really didn't want much, all he needed was a decent way to die, a funeral that belonged to an emperor, that's all.

It was impossible for Sima Zhao to keep him. Although Liu Xie's existence could no longer threaten Sima Zhao's Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhao would never allow Liu Xie to live, and Liu Xie would definitely die.

Liu Xie stamped the imperial decree, left the dragon chair alone, and walked to the harem step by step. There was not even a eunuch in the palace.

The once splendid palace is now like a ghost land on earth. The remaining female relatives are all old and beautiful concubines, as well as an unexpected figure.

That is Empress Cao. When Cao Cao was in power, Empress Cao not only monopolized the power of the harem, but also hijacked all movements of Liu Xie.

Now he is like a lunatic, going crazy in his own palace. When Liu Xie passed by Empress Cao's residence, Empress Cao rushed out to pull Liu Xie.

Empress Cao: "You are so bold and cunning, why don't you kneel down when you see this empress?"

Liu Xie: "Queen, do you think you are still a queen now?"

Liu Xie looked up at Cao Shi, and couldn't help but sarcastically said that even he, the emperor, had fallen into such a state of despair, Cao Shi was still dreaming of being a queen.

Empress Cao: "Bold, I am the queen of the Han Dynasty and the legitimate daughter of the King of Wei. You, a cunning person, actually want to murder me...Help...Help..."

Liu Xie: "Madman, just take your time and play by yourself!"

Liu Xie pushed Empress Cao away, and now the Cao family has lost her mind. She was pushed to the ground by Liu Xieyi, the jade phoenix crown fell, and her disheveled hair rushed towards Liu Xie again.

Empress Liu: "Boldly make trouble! Boldly..."

Liu Xie: "Open your dog eyes wide, who am I?"

Snapped!
Mrs. Cao held on to Liu Xie's sleeve, and Liu Xie was angry at being pestered by Mrs. Cao, and slapped Mrs. Cao backhanded.

Every time Liu Xie thinks that the reason why he has fallen to this point is that he has completely defeated Cao Cao, a treacherous official, the deeper his hatred for the Cao family grows in his heart.

Now that Liu Xie has accepted the reality, he doesn't want to fantasize about the emperor's dream anymore, but when he sees Cao's Liu Xie, there will always be an unknown fire.

Empress Cao: "Liu Xie, are you so brave that you dare to attack me?"

Perhaps it was Liu Xie who slapped Cao soberly, or perhaps Cao had been pretending to be crazy all along.

After being slapped by Liu Xie, Mrs. Cao got up from the ground, pointed at Liu Xie and scolded him, and it was definitely not the behavior of a lunatic.

Liu Xie: "What's wrong with beating you? Do you think your Cao clan is still in control now? Haha...haha..."

Liu Xie tossed his sleeves and strode away. No matter whether Cao was pretending to be crazy or not, he could not escape the fact that the Han Dynasty's 400-year-old foundation was over, and Cao Wei's dream of usurping the country was shattered.

Just when Liu Xie left, the palace was surrounded by a formation. The hazy formation surrounded the palace and the outside world. At this time, Sima Zhao was also alarmed.

Sima Zhao: "What do you guys think of the comparison?"

Sima Zhao had already obtained the imperial decree of Fengchan, but the Xuchang Palace was suddenly enveloped by formations. Sima Zhao always felt restless, feeling that something big was about to happen.

In the past few years, this kind of formation has appeared frequently, first during the Xiliang War, and in the following years, formations frequently appeared in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

Although this inexplicable formation helped the Jin Dynasty a lot, it was precisely because of this formation that Sima Zhao became emperor so quickly.

The formation will not attack people, but it can make people disappear out of thin air, saving the Sima family from many troubles. For example, those princes are all planted on the formation.
The first to disappear was Wang Hao of Jingzhou, and then the princes from all walks of life disappeared. It seemed that someone was secretly helping the Sima family.

But Sima Zhao always felt that these disappeared people hadn't died, they had been squatting somewhere, staring at him quietly.

The heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were chopped off and sent to Xuchang. This was witnessed by Sima Zhao with his own eyes. The Yuan family was definitely destroyed.

As for Liu Bei's death in Shu, when the Jin army attacked Shu Han Adou, Sima Zhao ordered people to dig up Liu Bei's grave to prove that Liu Bei was indeed dead.

Only Cao Cao, since he was rescued from Xuchang by Xu Zhu, has never heard from him, and Sima Zhao is not sure whether Cao Cao is dead.

Even if Cao Cao is not dead, Sima Zhao is not afraid of Cao Cao's comeback. The only thing that keeps Sima Zhao awake at night is Wang Hao, the strongest overlord in the past.

The south was constantly eroded by the Jin Dynasty, which was about to rule the world, but Wang Hao never appeared. Sima Zhao always suspected that Wang Hao was not dead.

Deng Ai: "My lord, Sima Zhao will become the emperor in Luoyang tomorrow, shouldn't it be time for us to act?"

Cao Cao: "Don't worry, that one hasn't moved yet, so we don't need to worry!"

Xu Zhu: "The lord is so sure, Wang Hao must be alive?"

Cao Cao: "I can't guarantee others, but Wang Hao is definitely alive!"

In the logging camp in the western suburbs of Wuling County, more than a dozen men gathered together, and the person sitting in the middle was Cao Cao Cao Mengde, who had disappeared for a long time.

Not only is Xu Zhu beside him, but also Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the generals of the Xiahou clan are still there.

No one thought that Cao Mengde, who was on the verge of dying, survived, and he seemed to be alive and well.

At the same time, on the top of the vast snow mountain outside the region, there is a huge hot spring lake, and countless houses are built beside the lake.

There is also a school field behind the house, where several fierce generals are training soldiers, and seeing that the military flag turned out to be Sun, is it possible that Sun Quan is also alive?
