Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

As the first day of the new year is approaching, Yecheng is bustling with activity.

There are four standing military camps in the east, west, south and north, and strong troops from all walks of life return to their respective camps.

In the court, the ministers who had been busy for a whole year were still arguing with each other and pulling their necks.

"Since it is the capital, Luoyang is naturally the best. Luoyang was originally an old capital. It is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and is protected by Xiongguan. Although it was burned down by Dong's thieves, it can be rebuilt completely in less than two years."

"That's nonsense! Since we have chosen the capital city, Chang'an in Guanzhong is the best. Chang'an's gate is strong and the city is high. From the perspective of geography, it can control Liang, Bing, Ji, Jing, and Sili."

"Xuchang, Xuchang is better."

"Why move the capital? I would say Yecheng is good!"

The courtiers debated the matter of moving the capital, but they all ignored Liu Xie on the throne.

Different from the past, Liu Xie did not show a cold face this time.

Liu Bei died in the battle of Huainan, and Cao Cao pursued him as the prince of Pingyuan County.

When the news came back to Yecheng, Liu Xie cried and laughed, but in the end he just sighed, "God will help Cao but not Liu." Sadly, he became an accomplice of Cao Cao's thieves in murdering Zhongzhen.

Without his inconsistent and disjointed bloody letter, Liu Xuande would have ended up like this.

From that day on, Liu Xie knew in his heart that all those who could save Han were dead.

At the end of the year, news came again that Liu Yan died of illness in Yizhou, and his youngest son Liu Zhang succeeded him as pastor in Yizhou.

Now Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingnan, and Liu Yao in Yangzhou themselves can't be counted on.

Normally, he could still take it as his duty to restore the inheritance of his ancestors.

But to this day, all the clan members surnamed Liu have chosen to turn a blind eye to the emperor.

Even if any of them had the guts to directly overstep the mark and proclaim himself emperor, Liu Xie would admit it.

At worst, he risked being offended by Cao Cao and secretly sent the Six Seals of the Emperor to them. It would be considered as a last-ditch contribution to the Han Dynasty.

It is sad that on the one hand they are greedy for power and want to live in peace, on the other hand they still regard themselves as clan members of the Han Dynasty.

now.

People in the world only know about the great military strength of King Wei, but they don't know that there is an emperor of the Han family in Yecheng.

What's the use of Liu Xie if he gets angry again?

Looking around the world, there is not a single soldier he can mobilize.

Could it be that he, a puppet emperor, could maintain the integrity of the Han Dynasty?

If more tricks come out, the most it will do is make Cao Cao lose some face, and what he will lose is his life.

No need.

Once you look at it, your mood will naturally be different.

He could even joke with Cao Cao sitting next to him.

"After the Prime Minister stabilizes the world, how are you going to arrange for me?" Not being worthy of the title of king is Liu Xie's last pride as the emperor, but I don't know how long this pride can last.

Cao Cao leaned forward and replied: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Since ancient times, only the emperor has arranged for his subordinates, and there is no reason for the ministers to arrange for the emperor."

Liu Xie laughed: "Oh? Could it be that after unifying the world, the Prime Minister can still return power to the Han Dynasty? If that is the case, I would not mind personally naming the Prime Minister as the King of Side by Side, and rule the country together with me."

He really knows how to hit snakes and stick them on them.

Cao Cao twitched his lips: "Your Majesty is joking."

"Prime Minister, there is no need to embarrass you. Even if you are willing to be a loyal and righteous Han minister, I am afraid that the warriors under your account will firmly disagree. At the very least, that barbarian Zhang has offended Tianyan many times. If I were still the emperor, he would be afraid He was the first one to refuse."

"."

"Three things. First, you need to ensure that the Wei Dynasty will succeed the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty and ancestral temples will continue to have incense."

Cao Cao was cautious, and it was hard to imagine that the words "Wei succeeded the Han" came from Liu Xie.

The young emperor jumped up and down frequently causing trouble for him, but today's change was a bit uncomfortable.

After thinking about the reasons, Cao Cao was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and nodded, bowing and clasping his fists: "That's natural. The Han Emperor has been benevolent and has governed the world for four hundred years. He deserves to be praised by the world."

"Secondly, Zongzheng Liu Yu, swordsman Wang Yue, imperial physician Ji Ping, those who died for me, you need to rectify their names. Although the loyalty of the Han Dynasty is lost, they should not bear the name of rebellious ministers."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth. As a result, he would have to bear some stigma, but compared with killing the master and seizing the throne, this stigma was nothing. At worst, the then Tingwei Jia Xu could bear it. Anyway, everyone in the world knows Jia Xu's reputation as a poisonous person, so he is not afraid of being stigmatized even more.

He, Cao Cao, is at most responsible for being lax in his duties.

"can."

Jia Xu was closing his eyes to rest in the hall, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and glanced at Cao Cao timidly.

"Thirdly, I checked the genealogy earlier. Pingyuan Houbei is a nobleman of the Han Dynasty. He is also my imperial uncle. I want you to posthumously title him King Zhaolie."

Liu Bei has nothing to say. Everyone is dead anyway. The title of king and marquis is only related to the reputation of future generations. Cao Cao still had some admiration for that old rival.

Furthermore, Liu Bei was only posthumously named King Zhaolie in the name of his clan, which does not mean that Cao Cao, whom he regarded as his great enemy, was rebellious.

These are completely different things.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I understand."

Liu Xie waved his hand: "That's it, I'm tired. From now on, the prime minister will supervise the country at the court, and he will inform me after the world is stable. By the way, the eyes and ears of Shangyuan Palace have been withdrawn. They can't keep an eye on me." Comfortable."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xie completely decentralized power, which was a disguised transfer of power to the emperor.

Although it is clear what he should do after the world is settled, the meaning is obvious.

--demise!

Unexpectedly, what he had been thinking about and meditating on finally came to an end when Liu Xie retreated.

Time is also destiny.

Cao Cao closed his long sleeves and bowed to the ground: "Farewell to the Emperor."

This was the first time he performed a full ceremony to worship the emperor after taking over as prime minister.

The bustling courtiers suddenly stopped quarreling when they saw Cao Cao kneeling in obeisance.

There are no die-hard loyalists in the Han Dynasty, but there are many old officials of the Han Dynasty among them.

As Liu Xie's lonely back disappeared from everyone's eyes, it meant that the fascinating dynasty had finally come to an end.

My heart is full of emotions.

Many people hid their faces in shame and retired claiming to be sick.

They should really feel guilty for eating the emperor's salary and failing to share the emperor's worries.

The direct descendants of Cao Wei were overjoyed.

Liu Xie's voluntary departure was a disguised recognition of the rationality of Cao's replacement of Liu Xing.

In the future, it will be justifiable for Cao Cao to ascend to the ninth and fifth positions!

Cao Cao stood up, opened and closed his sleeves, and sat down on the throne again.

All the courtiers in the hall knelt.

"My lord, please pay your respects to the King of Wei!"

When Zhang Wu returned to the court and resumed his duties, he saw everyone kneeling on the ground, shouting and cheering, and asked in surprise: "What happened? You are so happy? Could it be that the emperor died suddenly?"

Cao Cao, who had just benefited from Liu Xie, immediately became angry: "Martial man! It's disrespectful to make irresponsible remarks about the emperor in public! Go back to the palace and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You will be fined for three years as a warning to others!"
