Can I get to the other side?

Yuan Mansion, study room.

"Bang--!"

Yuan Shao slapped the desk hard, looked at Ju Shou with a gloomy look, and angrily scolded: "Ju Shou! How brave are you! How dare you find someone to pretend to be the emperor?!"

Just now, he heard news that shocked him.

This emperor is actually a fake!

It was just a random refugee Ju Shou pulled over from the roadside, and he actually believed it to be true!

In fact, he felt something was wrong from the beginning, but the "Emperor"'s acting skills were so good that he believed it.

But if you think about it carefully, what the "Emperor" said cannot stand up to scrutiny at all.

The first is the issue of escape, not to mention how Cao Cao could let the emperor escape. Even if he escaped, the emperor would not be able to run so far because he had been pampered since he was a child.

The most important thing is that as long as the emperor reaches the border of Jizhou and shows his identity as emperor, he will go there to greet him in person early. Why does he need to go to Yecheng specially?

Facing Yuan Shao's rebuke, Ju Shou looked calm and said, "My lord, actually now I also have some doubts about his identity."

"But what does it matter if it is true or false? As long as the Lord says he is true, he is true."

"But he is not real after all!" Yuan Shao looked angry and gritted his teeth: "If someone pretends to be the emperor, if he is discovered, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

"I will break my trust with everyone in the world and be reviled by thousands of people!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao was extremely angry. Jushou did not discuss with him, so he brought the false emperor back and showed himself in front of so many people.

Now everyone thinks that the "Emperor" is in Yecheng, and he is riding a tiger with difficulty.

Jushou heard this and replied: "My lord, now the only people who know the identity of the false emperor are you and me, besides him."

"This man looks exactly like the emperor. Even the lord didn't notice that he was fake, right?"

"With the same appearance, coupled with your reputation, my lord, we can definitely declare to the outside world that this emperor is real, and the one in Cao Cao's hands is fake."

"Tell me, will the world believe in you or Cao Cao?"

After seeing Liu Xie's superb acting skills and deceiving everyone, including Yuan Shao, he was full of confidence.

This plan is really feasible!

"Do you think everyone in the world is a fool?"

Yuan Shao said impatiently: "Now that the city of Luoyang has been destroyed and the news that the Emperor was taken to Xu County by Cao Cao has spread throughout the world, now I say that the Emperor is in my hands, who will believe it?"

"What's more, there is a difference between the real and the fake emperor. Familiar attendants and concubines will definitely be able to tell the difference. There is no way to hide it!"

Ju Shou smiled slightly: "My lord, you think too much. In fact, we don't need to prove that the emperor is real. We just need to let the world know that the emperor in Cao Cao's hands may be fake."

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Shao frowned and turned his gaze to Ju Shou.

Jushou smiled and said: "Cao Cao has the emperor in his hands, so he can reorganize the court, use the name of the emperor to order the princes of the world, and recruit talents."

"But now that two emperors have appeared, even if Cao Cao has the real emperor, people in the world will still have doubts."

"In this way, the effectiveness of the Emperor in Cao Cao's hands will be greatly reduced, and so many people will no longer be convinced. We will have the right to send troops to conquer him in the future."

"By leaving this emperor behind, the lord will have great justice in his hands!"

Although this plan was an impromptu idea by Jushou, he had carefully considered all the pros and cons.

As he said, it is difficult for them to make the world believe that their emperor is real, but why must they make the world believe it?

Just having this title is enough, and at the same time it makes people doubt the authenticity of the emperor's identity in Cao Cao's hands.

True and false, fishing in troubled waters.

After hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shao frowned and paced back and forth in the study, thinking carefully.

"Do you know the identity of this person?"

Finally, Yuan Shao looked up at Ju Shou and asked in a deep voice.

Naturally, he asked about Liu Xie's identity.

Jushuo already had great doubts about Liu Xie's identity. Whether it was his speech, behavior or shouting out the names of himself and Yuan Shao, coupled with his pampered appearance, it was impossible for him to be a refugee from the countryside.

But he knew what Yuan Shao was worried about, and he could not let Yuan Shao give up the great opportunity to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes.

Then he said: "Reporting to my lord, I have already asked clearly. He is just an ordinary refugee. If he had not met me today, he would have starved to death in a few days."

"This man is quite smart and a smart man, and we know his identity as the false emperor. It will be easy to kill him."

After Jushou finished speaking, seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating, he said sincerely: "My lord, you missed the opportunity to welcome the emperor last time. You can't miss it again this time."

"The reason why I act without consulting my lord is because I am worried that your lord will not agree."

"Now that Cao Cao has gained the upper hand, we can no longer sit back and wait for death."

Yuan Shao held the desk with one hand, frowning, thinking for a long time, and finally sighed.

"That's all, just do as you say."

Now there is no other better way than adopting Jushou's plan, because the news of the emperor's coming to Yecheng has now spread.

You can't say that this emperor is fake now, right?

Then he really became a joke.

In addition, the plan proposed by Ju Shou does have great benefits and can be used to counter Cao Cao.

"My lord is wise!"

Jushou was overjoyed and bowed deeply.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "It's okay if you act without permission this time. You won't do it next time!"

As a superior, what he hates the most is when his subordinates take matters into his own hands, even if it is for his own consideration.

Jushou said yes again and again and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ready to be punished.

After finalizing the plan, Yuan Shao said: "Regarding this fake emperor, you have to do more about him, and be sure not to let others see that he is a fake."

Jushu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will find some evidence and witnesses right away when I get back to prove that the emperor escaped."

"In addition, special personnel will be arranged to train his etiquette and demeanor, and he must be the same as the real emperor."

These things are small things and easy to arrange.

"I'll leave it all to you."

Yuan Shao didn't care much about such minutiae, so he turned and walked out of the study, "Now come with me to see our Majesty."

He was still a little worried about this fake emperor.

You need to get in touch and see for yourself.

…

Deep in the Yuan Mansion, there is a secluded courtyard.

This was originally Yuan Shao's residence and the best place in the house, so Liu Xie was taken here to rest.

Under the service of a group of maids, Liu Xie took a bath and burned incense, washed away the dirt on his body, put on clean clothes, and then rested in the room.

"It's so cool..."

Lying on the soft three-layer Shu brocade quilt, Liu Xie was filled with emotion as he looked at the antique and elegant decoration in the room and the faint scent of ambergris lingering on his nose.

Yesterday he was sleeping in a ruined temple, and today he stayed in this high-end VIP presidential king-size bed room. I have to say that fate is really changeable.

Just when Liu Xie was about to fall asleep comfortably, he suddenly heard the door being pushed open.
