Can I get to the other side?

Chapter 130 Because I——I was ordered by heaven

In the announcement room yesterday, Liu Xie had already revealed to Kong Rong his plan to revive the Han Dynasty.

Qingzhou was guarded by Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, and Kong Rong was the prime minister of Beihai County below Qingzhou.

Liu Xie wanted to take Qingzhou, but he asked Kong Rong for advice.

It's a pun.

One is to ask Kong Rong for advice.

The second is Kong Rong himself.

"His Majesty……"

Kong Rong looked troubled.

He had been in official circles for a long time, so he couldn't recognize Liu Xie's pun.

How could I not tell that Liu Xie wanted to gain his allegiance.

Slowly raising his head, Kong Rong looked at Liu Xie and paused again: "Your Majesty trusts you, and I have nothing to repay. Please give me death."

After Kong Rong revealed all his inner thoughts, he was ready to face Liu Xie's thunderous wrath.

He knew very well that if the emperor in front of him was real, he would be guilty of rebellion.

For the emperor, no matter how difficult it is for him to make a decision, he must make a decision.

Letting a false emperor share the name of emperor is intolerable for any emperor and is a recipe for death.

Now he refuses to be loyal to Liu Xie.

Only one death.

Liu Xie stared at Kong Rong for a long time, his eyes changing from expectant to angry to sharp, and finally murderous intent emerged.

But gradually, the murderous intention disappeared and returned to coldness.

"You disappoint me so much."

No anger, no rebuke.

The voice was calm, but there seemed to be sadness in the calmness.

Liu Xie turned around, his back to Kong Rong, and said in a voice without any emotion: "Go away, live a good life, and manage Beihai for me."

"I don't need you to die, and I don't want to see you die. I want you to live well."

When Kong Rong heard this, his face was filled with self-blame and guilt.

After leaving the palace and Yecheng, he would be reviled by everyone in the world. Not only would his own reputation be ruined, it would also be a disgrace to the reputation that his family had accumulated over a long period of time.

Moreover, committing such a crime is even more unforgivable for the emperor. He has no other option except to die to apologize.

But the emperor let him continue to live.

Kong Rong raised his head and looked at Liu Xie's tall back, wondering: "Why does your Majesty want to forgive me?"

"forgive?"

Liu Xie sneered, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Kong Rong from the corner of his eye, looking indifferent.

"I want you alive so that you can watch carefully! Watch how I kill the traitor Cao Cao and the false emperor, watch how I wipe out the traitors and reorganize the country!"

"I want you to know that without your approval, I can still recover the great man!"

"Because I - I was ordered by heaven!"

Liu Xie's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the announcement room, full of strong self-confidence and pride.

What he said seemed not to be an ideal, but an established future!

This is the arrogance of an emperor and the inherent confidence of an emperor.

Kong Rong was shocked. He understood that His Majesty did not want him to die as an apology, but wanted him to live and witness how, as the emperor, he swept across the world and conquered the world!

Then I will ask him again: Am I really the emperor?

He was filled with expectations and desires, hoping that the emperor in front of him was the real Han Dynasty, not a fake puppet brought by Yuan Shao.

Kong Rong's original desire to die has changed, and his cloudy eyes have regained their brilliance.

"I will dedicate myself to making the people of Beihai live and work in peace and contentment."

"Your Majesty lives in a deep palace, surrounded by wolves, and full of dangers. I hope your Majesty will be careful and consider your own safety as the top priority!"

Liu Xie, who had his back turned to Kong Rong, said nothing.

Kong Rong respectfully finished the three-kowtow and nine-bow ceremony and said, "Your Majesty, I take my leave."

After that, he stood up and left the announcement room.

After Kong Rong left for a while, the cold pride on Liu Xie's face slowly dissipated.

He finally understood the meaning of these four words: Zhengyi Death Day.

Kong Rong is indeed an old man worthy of respect.

"You should have passed this level now!"

After traveling to this era, Kong Rong encountered the second biggest crisis.

When Kong Rong left Yecheng and Jizhou, it meant that no one in the world could threaten his status as emperor.

Even the real emperor!

Even if Yuan Shao or Ju Shou suddenly went crazy and revealed his true identity to others, no one would believe them.

No matter how much people in the world discuss in the future, it can only lead to a situation - the strong one is the emperor, and the weak one is the false emperor.

And his identity credibility is higher than that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Xu County.

Don’t worry about not having talented people coming to invest in the future.

As long as he gets rid of the shackles of Yuan Shao, he will be the orthodox Han Dynasty.

"Although I have not been recognized by Kong Rong, my status as emperor has been firmly established. This is a milestone progress."

"Now we just have to bear the humiliation and wait for Guo Jia and Jia Xu to cause trouble within Yuan Shao."

Liu Xie's heart aroused great pride, and everything will develop in the established direction.

…

After leaving the palace, Kong Rong rushed directly to the posthouse outside the city.

Taishi Ci had been waiting at the door of the post house for a long time. When he saw Kong Rong coming back, he immediately went to greet him.

"Is the Prime Minister still okay?"

Seeing the wet tears on Kong Rong's face, Taishi Ci felt sad.

He knew that this famous old man would suffer endless abuse from now on.

Kong Rong said in despair: "When I return to Beihai, I will tell the world that I can't tell the authenticity of the emperor."

"well……"

Taishi Ci let out a long sigh.

He would rather sacrifice his own reputation than take the risk of admitting the wrong dragon.

He was obviously loyal to the big man, but in the end he had to end up with a disreputable reputation.

How can this not be lamentable?

"Let's go, pack up and bow, let's go back to Beihai."

"Do you want to inform Yuan Shao?"

"No need, there are just dry bones in the grave, why should I know?"

After learning Yuan Shao's true identity from Liu Xie, Kong Rong didn't have any good impression of Yuan Shao.

In his opinion, there is no essential difference between Yuan and Cao. They are both traitors who hold the emperor hostage.

Fortunately, there are differences between the two emperors.

The man in Xu County was suppressed by Cao Cao and had no power to resist, so he could only let others slaughter him.

This man from Yecheng worked hard and tried his best, secretly plotting development and getting ready to go.

At this time, Yuan Shao would definitely follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shu in Kong Rong's heart.

After packing up and saluting, before boarding the carriage and leaving, Kong Rong took a deep look at Yecheng.

Apart from the guilt and self-blame for the emperor, he had no other regrets in his heart.

"Even if your Majesty is not orthodox, you can still ensure the continuation of our great Han Dynasty Zuo."

…

Yuan Shao, who had just woken up, felt very angry when he heard the news from the spy.

"This old man doesn't even take me seriously."

Yuan Shao cursed and hurriedly dressed and got up. He wanted to take Kong Rong into the palace himself, but unexpectedly Kong Rong set off before dawn.

Now he leaves without even saying hello.

After arriving at the meeting hall, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others were already waiting here.

Yuan Shao looked at Qiong Yuchun and said, "Zhong Jian, take people to chase Kong Beihai back and ask him whether the emperor is real or fake."

Qiong Yuchun accepted the order and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Tian Feng.

"My lord, Kong Beihai left after seeing the emperor, which shows that he has made a judgment in his heart. If someone is sent to intercept him, I am afraid he will be criticized."

The judge concurred: "What Yuan Hao said is true. If this matter spreads, the world will definitely think that the Lord intercepted Kong Beihai to force him to change his decision."

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is not a fake emperor who Cao Cao found someone to pretend to be. Kong Beihai is an upright man and will never make mistakes. Why does my lord need to do this?"

Except for Jushou, the other counselors nodded in approval.

In their hearts, the emperor of Yecheng is the real dragon emperor.

As a person, Kong Rong would definitely not point out what is true or what is false.

If Yuan Shao hadn't been so nervous, they wouldn't have taken this matter to heart at all, but instead tried their best to negotiate how to deal with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.

Yuan Shao opened his mouth, but in the end he did not express his worries.

If others don't know, doesn't he know the nature of the emperor on his side?

Jushou noticed Yuan Shao's worries and said, "My Lord, it doesn't matter whether we pursue Kong Beihai or not. Why don't we go into the palace and ask His Majesty?"

No matter what Kong Rong thought, Liu Xie should know something.

Yuan Shao nodded lightly and sent an order to Chunyu Qiong: "Send a team of troops to escort Kong Beihai out of Jizhou without making any mistakes!"

…

royal palace.

Liu Xie, who had just laid down and planned to take a nap, was shouted out by Gao Lan.

Yuan Shao is here.

"What did Kong Rong tell you?"

"Has he recognized your status as emperor?"

"Why did he leave so suddenly?"

As soon as he saw Liu Xie, Yuan Shao asked questions like a barrage of questions.

Liu Xiedao: "When he entered the palace to meet the common people, he said a lot of things. Before leaving, he said that he decided to announce to the world that he could not tell whether the emperor was true or false."

Yuan Shao was surprised and happy when he heard this.

Surprised that Kong Rong dared to act like this!

Surprisingly, Liu Xie's identity has not been revealed. He, Yuan Benchu, is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and can still blackmail the emperor into disobeying him.

"But this old man, in order to preserve the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, actually went to this point, which is really admirable." Yuan Shao sighed with emotion.

He knew that by doing this, Kong Rong was destroying his own reputation and would be in a situation where everyone would shout for beatings in the future.

Now this result, although unexpected, is enough for Yuan Shao to be ecstatic.

But for Cao Cao, this result was not so easy to accept.

"Cao A'hao, Cao A'hao, you originally wanted to ask Kong Rong to rectify the emperor's name, but in the end you did it for me."

"Nowadays, between the two emperors, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, but the advantage lies with me."

At this time, Yuan Shao was very satisfied. If Cao Cao appeared in front of him, he would definitely point at Cao Cao's nose and laugh at him!

Liu Xie looked at Yuan Shao, who was beaming with joy, and said, "Ming Gong, Kong Rong asked the common people in the palace to grant him death. The common people were worried that his death in Yecheng would be detrimental to Ming Gong, so they exempted him from death."

Yuan Shao applauded: "Well done. He can die anywhere, but he cannot die in Jizhou. As long as he leaves Jizhou, whether he commits suicide to apologize or lives with infamy, it has nothing to do with me."

After that, Yuan Shao told Liu Xie a few more words and left in a hurry.

He wanted to quickly find Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others to discuss how to use this news to attack Cao Cao.

…

On the same day, the news that Kong Rong could not tell whether the emperor was true or false was quickly spread to all parts of Kyushu with Yecheng as the center, driven by Yuan Shao.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.

"That's ridiculous! That's ridiculous!"

"How could Kong Wenju say such ridiculous things!"

"There are no two days in heaven and no two masters among the people. There is only one emperor. How could Kong Wenju not tell the difference?"

"In my opinion, Kong Wenju must have been afraid of offending Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, so he did not dare to identify the authenticity of the emperor."

"Fortunately, he is still the 20th descendant of Confucius, how can he be so greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"I was deceived by his false reputation before, but now it seems that Kong Wenju is really a villain!"

"Even Kong Rong couldn't tell the difference between the true and false emperor, who else in the world can tell the difference?"

"I have always believed that the man from Yecheng is the emperor."

"The same goes for me. Lu Bu went to Yecheng to present the imperial seal and the traitor Yuan Shu. Doesn't Lu Bu still recognize the emperor?"

Half a day later, all the states and counties were in an uproar.

Kong Rong was pushed to the forefront and was reviled by countless people.

There is also a small group of people who believe in Kong Rong's character and think the news is untrue, and they want to wait until Kong Rong speaks in person.

Xu County.

Cao Cao was having dinner at his house. When he got the news, he became furious and covered the table with his rice!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How could Kong Rong do such a ridiculous thing if he couldn't tell the truth from the emperor? All of this must be Yuan Shao's lies!"

"Fake, it's all fake!"

Xun You below sighed faintly: "My lord, this news has spread throughout the states and counties at this time. You thought the news did not seem to be fake. If Kong Rong had not made such a decision, how could Yuan Shao dare to talk nonsense? That would make him Reputation in disrepute.”

"But if Kong Rong is really so decisive, isn't he destroying his own reputation! How can it be so difficult to distinguish between the true and false of the emperor!"

Cao Cao roared angrily: "Yuan Benchu ​​and Kong Wenju, how dare you deceive the people of the world like this, two traitors, traitors, and evil thieves!"

The anger in Cao Cao's heart was almost burning him. He completely did not understand how Kong Rong, a man so upright and loyal to the Han Dynasty, could make such a decision.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said: "Kong Wenju will never be coerced or bribed by Yuan Shao. If he makes such a decision, it may be difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the emperor."

"Not long after the emperor moved the capital to Xu County, Yuan Shao announced that the emperor was in trouble and fled to Yecheng. Since he found someone to pretend to be the emperor, why was he so confident? Why did Lu Bu and Liu Bei go to Yecheng to present the imperial seal?"

"Why?" Cao Cao asked very irritably.

Xun Yu said: "My lord, you might as well make a bold guess. If the false emperor in Yecheng looks the same as the emperor, and even speaks and behaves exactly the same. In this case, it can explain why Yuan Shao is so confident and not afraid of being exposed."

"It can also explain why Lu Bu and Liu Bei went to Yecheng to present the imperial seal, and it can also explain Kong Wenju's extremely absurd decision."

Xun Yu's analysis made Cao Cao fall into silence.

Everyone present knew Kong Rong's character well.

Back then, he even dared to point his nose at Dong Zhuo and scold him. There was no way he could be coerced by Yuan Shao, let alone bribed.

Cao Cao's eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice: "Kong Rong is a model for scholars in the world. For him, he would rather die than have his reputation damaged."

"The only thing that can make him make that ridiculous decision at the expense of losing his reputation is what Wen Ruo said. He really can't tell the truth about the emperor."

"Yuan Benchu ​​was able to find someone who looked the same as the Emperor. Why did God favor him so much!"

…

Royal palace, announcement room.

Guo Jia reported to Liu Xie with excitement: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Gongsun Zan to make peace with him. Gongsun Zan did not reply and instead strengthened his defense. This afternoon, Yuan Shao has decided to personally lead an army to attack Youzhou."

When Liu Xie heard this, his heart moved.

Historically, Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan in the third year of Jian'an. Now it is the autumn of the second year of Jian'an.

It seems that because of his relationship, the time has been advanced by a year.

Jia Xu also had a smile on his face, "Now that the conflict between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang has been fully aroused, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others are also in the same situation. In addition, Yuan Shao will leave Yecheng, this is God-given opportunity!”

Liu Xie was equally excited, grabbing the hands of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, one on the left and the other on the right.

"I'll leave everything to you two!"

With such a good opportunity, Guo Jia and Jia Xu's abilities will surely turn Yuan Shao's base camp upside down.

Not to mention how many corners of Yuan Shao can be poached, at least it can completely break out the unstable situation within Yuan Shao, making it easier for Liu Xie to secretly expand his power.

Moreover, Jia Xu's plan to kill his father with his son can also be put on the agenda.

The time for Liu Xie to break away from the shackles is not far away.
