Chapter 121 What kind of majesty can a fake emperor have (25)
In less than half a stick of incense time, Guo Jia and Jia Xu arrived at the palace one after another.
After seeing the two of them, Liu Xie exchanged pleasantries for a while and then got straight to the point and asked: "Fengxiao, Wenhe, do you know that Cao Cao invited Kong Rong from Beihai to Xu County?"
Guo Jia nodded heavily and said, "This matter is now known to everyone in the world. I and Wen He just came over from Yuan Shao and were about to enter the palace to report it. I never thought that His Majesty already knew about it."
Jia Xu said with emotion: "This Cao thief is actually very good at calculating, using Kong's reputation to suppress Yuan's reputation. Although Kong Beihai is upright, I am worried that he will be deceived by Cao thief and mistake the real dragon. If so, then, then What a disaster.”
In Jia Xu's mind, he had already prepared for the worst.
If Kong Rong was really coerced, lured or deceived by Cao Cao and identified the emperor of Yecheng as a fake and the emperor of Xu County as the real one, then the situation would be really worrying.
After leaving Yuan Shao, he had been discussing with Guo Jia.
Apart from following what Tian Feng said and inviting Kong Rong to Yecheng, there was no other better way.
This feeling of placing hope on others made Jia Xu feel very awkward.
Liu Xie asked calmly: "What do you think Cao Cao had planned? Why did he dare to take the initiative to invite Kong Rong to Xu County? Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"
Faced with this matter, he couldn't act too calm, he needed to be appropriately worried, and he couldn't show his inner panic.
Otherwise, in front of Jia Xu, a talented person, it would be easy to let the clues slip.
At this point, with his acting skills, he can easily handle it.
Although Jia Xu was uneasy in his heart, he was comforting the emperor.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The reason why Cao Cao is acting like this just shows that he is desperate. Ever since Lu Bu presented Yuan Shu and the imperial seal, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is the legitimate emperor.
If Thief Cao does not take any action, he will be accused of false accusations and be despised by everyone in the world. Therefore, Kong Rong, whose reputation was more prominent than Yuan Shao, was found to endorse him. "
"As for whether Kong Rong will collude with Cao Cao... I believe that this matter is beyond our control."
Jia Xu thought that if he were Cao Cao, and if he could not deceive Kong Rong, he would use coercion and inducement.
In any case, Kong Rong must be allowed to recognize the pseudo-emperor of Xu County.
Therefore, he was uneasy and hoped that Yuan Shao would also invite Kong Rong and get Yecheng as his first stop. Then he was granted an official position and Kong Rong was not allowed to leave Yecheng for Xu County.
Guo Jiawu sighed worriedly: "I think that the reason why the thief Cao dared to ask Kong Rong to identify the emperor's authenticity is that he has obviously bribed or coerced the queen and all the emperor's ministers. If he finds someone who looks similar to your majesty, he will force him to The emperor's ministers and concubines gave false testimony, which is very likely to deceive Kong Rong. "
There are no close ministers of the emperor and concubines in the harem around him. This is Liu Xie's biggest weakness.
However, after listening to Guo Jia and Jia Xu's analysis, although the situation was very unfavorable to him, he felt relieved.
Because both Guo Jia and Jia Xu were worried that Kong Rong would be deceived and intimidated by Cao Cao, and they did not doubt his identity at all.
His status as emperor did not depend at all on whether he was a descendant of the great ancestor, but on whether his advisers and generals recognized him.
As long as enough people recognize him as the emperor, even a lie can become true.
This is good news for Liu Xie.
But... this is not enough.
He deliberately showed an expression of disbelief and roared angrily at Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "Mr. Yang and the father-in-law are loyal and upright ministers, and the queen is deeply in love with me and my husband. How could they help the tyrant Cao to perjury? ?”
"I don't believe it! They will never betray me!"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other.
The emperor still doesn't understand the unfathomable truth of human heart.
The hall was quiet for several breaths, and finally the older Jia Xu said bravely: "It is not uncommon for fathers to harm their sons, and for wives to harm their husbands. Not to mention the ministers who are in Cao Ying and can't help themselves at this time?
The thief Cao escaped from Dong Zhuo and stayed at Lu Boshe's home. Lu Boshe's five sons entertained him warmly, but he became suspicious and killed eight people during the night and escaped.
Afterwards, he even said to Chen Gong such shameless remarks as "I would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me."
With Cao Cao's ruthlessness, he will use all means to force the queen and others. "
Guo Jia nodded in agreement, "No one is perfect, even the most loyal people will eventually find weaknesses. Not to mention the vicious person Cao Cao, I want to force Yang Biao, Fu Wan and your Majesty's concubine There are dozens of means available to them to perjure themselves.”
Hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia.
He had personally experienced Guo Jia's methods, which were indeed difficult to resist.
Guo Jia, who noticed Jia Xu's gaze, couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Using family members to force Jia Xu to submit is indeed a despicable method, but it is very effective.
It was precisely because of this that both he and Jia Xu were worried, thinking that the emperor's ministers and concubines in Xu County were unreliable.
"What should we do?" Liu Xie started to panic appropriately and said anxiously: "If Kong Rong is deceived by Cao Cao, won't everyone in the world think that I am a false emperor? How should I deal with myself then? ?”
No matter what the future holds, Liu Xie cannot decide whether Kong Rong recognizes Xu County as emperor.
He could only keep hinting to Jia Xu and Guo Jia to strengthen their subconscious mind that "the emperor of Xu County is fake".
In this way, even if Kong Rong recognized the emperor of Xu County, they would only think that Kong Rong was deceived and coerced by Cao Cao.
Will not doubt the authenticity of his status as the emperor, and will not abandon him because of this.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Guo Jia could only continue to comfort Liu Xie, "Kong Rong is a straight-forward person. He dared to disobey Dong Zhuo in the past, and now he will not be coerced by Cao thieves.
Now the matter of the real and fake emperors is a hot topic. With Kong Rong's character, even if he was deceived by Cao thieves in Xu County, he would definitely come to Yecheng to meet Your Majesty."
Jia Xu nodded, "Yes, as long as Kong Rong is not coerced by Cao thieves, Your Majesty can rest assured. Fake is fake after all. How can a mere fake emperor compare with Your Majesty? Kong Rong only needs to see Your Majesty once to distinguish the true from the false."
The premise of Jia Xu's certainty is that Kong Rong can be free from coercion like a few years ago.
As long as he does not recognize the emperor of Xu County at the first time, he only needs to come to Yecheng and meet the emperor in person, and everything will come to an end.
After all, what kind of emperor's majesty can a fake emperor have?
Even if he was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he was just a monkey in a crown.
Comparing the two, the real and the fake could be distinguished in an instant.
"That being said, I am still worried..." Liu Xie knew that he was a fake. Instead of being relieved by Jia Xu's words, he became more melancholy.
He changed the subject and said, "What if Kong Rong didn't come to Yecheng and stayed in Xu County listening to Cao's one-sided words?"
At this moment, Liu Xie hoped that Kong Rong could recognize the real dragon with wisdom and recognize the emperor of Xu County on the spot, so as not to come to Yecheng.
In this way, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others could comfort Kong Rong on the grounds that he was deceived by Cao.
But if Kong Rong came to Yecheng and was really found out, it would be a disaster.
I don't know whether he will die at that time, but his life will definitely not be easy, and the dream of the emperor of the Han Dynasty will come to an abrupt end.
"What if Kong Rong doesn't come to Yecheng?" Guo Jia thought Liu Xie was really worried that Kong Rong wouldn't come, so he made a calm analysis.
"Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu. He dominates the three states of Qing, Bing and Ji, has many soldiers and generals, and is the strongest among the princes. Although the reputation of the Yuan family is not as good as that of the Kong family, it is after all a family of three officials for four generations."
"As long as Yuan Shao recognizes your majesty, it means that what Kong Rong said about the emperor of Xu County is true. Do the princes of the world dare to attack Yuan Shao and your majesty under the banner?"
This world is not a one-man show for the Kong family. Even if Kong Rong has great prestige, he cannot make a decision on his own.
However, if the roles are reversed, if Kong Rong recognizes the emperor of Yecheng, plus Yuan Shao's influence and power, Cao Cao will be finished.
Everything is ultimately determined by strength.
With Yuan Shao's strength, even if he is accused of pretending to be an emperor, who dares to easily become his enemy?
Of course, in this way, Liu Xie's reputation will be completely destroyed, and he will be labeled as a traitor and a false emperor.
Even if he finally seized Yuan Shao's foundation, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him to recruit loyal ministers and celebrities in the future.
…
After Liu Xie's edict was issued, Yuan Shao sent someone to deliver it to Beihai in an urgent manner for 800 miles, and publicized the matter as much as Cao Cao.
Cao Cao dared to ask Kong Rong to go and identify the true and false emperor. If he didn't dare, he would be guilty.
But few people know that he was really guilty.
He was also roasted on the fire and had to ask Kong Rong.
After the initial panic, Yuan Shao and Liu Xie had the same idea, and they both hoped that Kong Rong would not come.
At the same time, Xia Pi, Lu Bu's mansion.
"Huh——"
Lu Bu stopped his horse outside the mansion, threw the whip to the servant who came to greet him, and hurried into the mansion.
"General..."
Diao Chan stepped forward to greet him, but was interrupted by Lu Bu before she could greet him.
"Where are Madam and Qi'er?" Lu Bu looked around, looking for the figures of Yan and Lu Lingqi.
Diao Chan was disappointed when she heard this, and said with red eyes: "General, you are so indifferent to me... Are you tired of me?"
Although she was not a jealous woman, she couldn't help but feel upset when she saw that Lu Bu ignored her and only asked about Madam Yan and Lu Lingqi.
Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly explained: "Misunderstood! I have something important to find Madam and Qi'er."
Diao Chan knew the limit, and after complaining, she stopped being petty and replied: "Madam and Qi'er went to the Taoist temple outside the city. It is estimated that they will not be back until dark... What's the matter, General?"
"Walls have ears, it's not convenient here, let's talk inside." Lu Bu lowered his voice, pulled Diao Chan to the wing room, and closed all the doors and windows.
Seeing Lu Bu's mysterious look, Diao Chan was even more confused and couldn't help asking again: "General, what's the matter? Why are you so cautious?"
"It's a good thing! And it's a great thing!" After making sure that the doors and windows were almost closed, Lu Bu said excitedly: "Do you know what reward the emperor gave me when I went to Yecheng to meet the emperor this time?"
Diao Chan thought for a while and said: "For the merits of capturing Yuan Shu alive and presenting the imperial seal, you are promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry?"
Lu Bu was General of Fenwei before. This time he made such a great contribution, so promotion is certain;
Plus he was so excited, Diao Chan made a bold guess.
However, her guess didn't seem bold enough.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "What's the point of General of Chariots and Cavalry? His Majesty has made me General of Cavalry and Duke of County. If it weren't for the traitor Yuan Shao's obstruction, His Majesty would have made me General of General. But these are not worth mentioning compared to what I want to say."
When he said the last part, Lu Bu looked very proud.
Diao Chan's beautiful eyes widened, and her pupils almost shook.
The rank of General of Cavalry was second only to the general.
As for the Duke, it was even more appalling.
But Lu Bu actually said that these rewards were not worth mentioning.
Lu Bu, who could no longer hold back his desire to show off, said excitedly: "Abbott! Your Majesty has personally said that he will make me his father-in-law, and will make Qier his queen in the future!"
Lu Bu is really suffocating these days. No one can tell about such a happy event.
Now it's hard to find someone with whom I can share my secrets and joy, and the more I talk about it, the more excited I become.
"Qier is going to be the queen!"
"From now on, her son, my grandson, will be the prince of the Han Dynasty and the future emperor!"
Without the instructions of Liu Xie and Liu Bei, no publicity should be made to the outside world until everything is settled. Lu Bu could not wait to run out on the street and shout everywhere, letting everyone in the world know that he, Lu Fengxian, had made his mark!
After Diao Chan heard this, she was not as shocked and happy as Lu Bu expected. Instead, she reached out and touched his forehead, wondering: "The general doesn't have a fever, so why did he start talking nonsense?"
If he said he was just a hussar general, Diao Chan would definitely believe him.
After all, Lu Bu's contribution this time was really great.
But the county official? This is obviously impossible.
The Han Dynasty was founded nearly four hundred years ago, but only one Wang Mang, who usurped the throne, ever proclaimed himself Duke Anhan.
As for establishing Lu Lingqi as queen, that is even more nonsense.
Queen Fu is not dead yet.
Even if she died, it would not be Lu Bu's daughter's turn.
Diao Chan pushed Lu Bu down on the bed and sat down, and said worriedly: "General, you lie down and have a good rest. I will go and call the doctor right now."
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Lu Bu was anxious. He shared such good news with others, only to be thought to be talking nonsense. How could he bear this?
He grabbed Diao Chan who was about to go out and vowed: "Your Majesty personally promised me this! If I lie even half a word, I will have no children for the rest of my life!"
In order to make Diao Chan believe it, he even swore such a vicious oath.
Although Diao Chan still felt that it was too far-fetched, it was clear that Lu Bu didn't look like he was lying and finally believed it.
"But doesn't your majesty already have a queen? How can you talk about establishing a new queen while the queen is still here? The general may have been deceived by your majesty."
Unlike the vulgar martial artist, Diao Chan is a thoughtful woman.
In her opinion, even if what Lu Bu said was true, there was a high probability that he had been deceived.
"A woman's opinion!" When Lu Bu saw Diao Chan saying bad things about the emperor, he immediately straightened his face and said very displeased: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and he speaks the right words. He has always been close to me, how could he lie to me?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty said that Empress Fu was forced to appoint her, not his original intention. Moreover, now that the Empress is accompanying the false emperor in Xu County, His Majesty must have a grudge against her."
"Besides, I am loyal to your majesty. I have accomplished such great achievements this time. Your majesty praised me as the pillar of strength for the great man! Why can't I make Qier the queen?"
He, Lu Fengxian, was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of loyalty, ability in fighting, and contribution to the Han Dynasty, who in the world can compare with him?
Your Majesty's decision to make his daughter the queen is a sign of your trust and recognition of him!
After saying that, Lu Bu solemnly warned Diao Chan: "Now that the emperor is in trouble, it is the time for me to save the world. You must not speak ill of His Majesty anymore and destroy the friendship between our monarch and his subjects."
