Chapter 1246 Who won?

No matter how strange the farmhouse is, the suddenly collapsed imperial mausoleum has become the most terrible hell on earth. Those downed ministers can't move. They can only watch the fire slowly devour themselves, and shout and cry. The bamboo crackled in the flames, as if someone was counting the lives taken away by Zhu Rong one after another.

The whole imperial mausoleum turned into a huge torch at a speed visible to the naked eye and burned. Countless burnt black arms swayed desperately and slowly drooped. The smell of burnt human flesh permeates around with black smoke, just like the whole city is holding a cannibal feast.

No one expected that a sacrificial ceremony with a very strong political atmosphere would end in such a way. These owners who have turned into ashes may have thought that this place will be full of changes or densely covered with swords. But they never imagined that this place would suddenly become their cremation and burial place - sleeping with the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, I don't know if it is a kind of glory or a kind of Jiyue?

And, more ironically, it is less than a day before the completion of the imperial mausoleum...

The whole Xuchang was shocked by this sudden accident. Cao Cao personally drove ahead and rushed to Heliang as soon as possible. When he arrived, he happened to see the dark-faced Cao Ang and Cao Ren directing Cao Jun to fight the fire. The escaped civil and military officials also sent their own officials and servants to help. For a moment, the imperial mausoleum became a big beehive. Everyone tried to get close to the ruins, but everyone dared not take a step forward.

But the whole imperial mausoleum is an all-wooden structure, so the fire is extremely strong and burns very thoroughly. The fire brigade can only drag down the surrounding buildings to prevent the spread, and then pour buckets of well water on it, which is still useless. It was not until the next day that the fire reluctantly extinguished slowly. It was not until this time that Cao Cao, who saw Cao Ang, Xun Yu, Cao Ren and others were at peace with each other, and his personal command became very effective - anyway, there was nothing more to burn...

After the incident, there were 56 victims, most of whom were ministers who had no obvious political orientation in the court. Of course, there are also several loyal royalists, such as Zhang Xi and Zhao Yan, who knelt down and vowed to die at that time. Their loyal protector did not let Zhu Ronghuo give them much care, and even their family members could not distinguish their identity from the charred skeleton.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his imperial concubine Cao Jie, as well as the prince in Cao Jie's arms, survived the fire. When it collapsed, the middle high platform he was standing on was just a triangle with a thick wooden board that fell from the second floor. At that time, Liu Xie and Cao Jie, who were hiding in a triangle, shared difficulties like ordinary true couples, and there was no more political interest entanglement. However, after being rescued and seeing Cao Cao's figure, Liu Xie's hand holding Cao Jie was still relaxed.

When Cao Cao saw Liu Xie, his face was pale and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. According to Cao's cleverness, he saw that the fire burned all the royalists and some innocent ministers. When today, he was just slightly embarrassed and lost his body, he intuitively told him that things were not so simple. Therefore, when others did not take it, he asked Liu Xie in a low voice with a kind of anger: " Are you satisfied now?

"Of course, I'm very satisfied," Liu Xie's face was dark at that time, but he was in good mental state, and even some were even happy: "You may not know that a team of shadows of the Ma family just ran out here. Moreover, the incident here is just a blindfold. You will soon know what Cao will face next..."

"You?!" Cao Cao was obviously not so easily provoked. After a trace of anger flashed on his face, he quickly regained his minister's humility, but what he said was, "Do you think a fire and a few shadows of the Ma family can really force the whole Cao family to death?"

"It may not be so easy to deal with Ma Chao." Liu Xie's face is also a normal emperor, but at this moment, Cao Cao is obviously condescending: "But it should be enough to deal with you. The thing with the clothes and edict fell into the hands of Ma Chao. You must also know what the result is, right?

"What?!!" Cao Cao was finally moved, and the previous gentle modesty suddenly became ferocious and angry. If it hadn't been for the messy environment around him and their identities, Cao Cao seemed likely to draw his sword angrily: "What on earth is this for?"

"No, it's just that after you shift your desire to fully control the court, the foundation of our cooperation has become invalid."

"Don't think I don't know. You secretly want to kill my Cao family more than once, and occupy the magpie nest dove!"

"I'm the son of heaven!" Liu Xie's tone rose uncontrollably, attracting everyone's attention: "All under the world is mine!"

At this time, everyone noticed that Liu Xie no longer used the supreme name 'I', which could only be used by the emperor, and his originally handsome face also turned into a furious red. However, at this time, Cao Cao, who was originally angry, was not controlled by his emotions. He hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "I deserve to die, which made my emperor suffer this reckless disaster. He also asked your majesty to remove his official position and make me go home for retirement and think about it..."

These words seem to be Cao Cao's sincere fear, but in fact, no matter which dynasty, it is not an exaggerating to have such a big mistake that almost killed the emperor. But Cao Cao could say that he wanted to go home to rest, and Cao Cao also knew that Liu Xie could not really say anything to punish him.

Sure enough, Cao Cao's words had just come out, and everyone present knelt to the ground and shouted in unison, "General Cao is the pillar of the country. Your Majesty must not do anything arbitrarily and do something that makes relatives and enemies happy!"

Liu Xie suddenly turned around, raised his eyes and sadly found it. Around the ruins, both civil and military ministers and ordinary handymen knelt on the ground. The only person who still stands is his imperial concubine Cao Jie. Unfortunately, even if it was her, her face was full of hesitancy and sadness. Liu Xie only felt that his heart was full of the impulse to roar loudly. He took a step forward, stretched out his finger and resisted Cao Cao's forehead.

This is an extremely insulting gesture. The anger of the emperor kept pouring towards Cao Cao, as if to completely burn Cao Cao as the imperial mausoleum in front of him. But although Cao Cao knelt to the ground, he was never poked by this finger and did not move like a mountain. He still seemed to be guilty and unforgivable humility and panic: "I have made such an unforgivable mistake. If I get your majesty's approval, I will never go to the court forever to thank the world!" He made concessions every word, but in fact, it was full of sarcasm and malice in Liu Xie's ears.

At this point, naturally there is a remonition from all those who kneel on the ground. And Liu Xie also knew that the so-called court now has its military, human rights and financial rights on this minister who seems to be crawling at his feet. But his eyes couldn't help sweeping around Cao Cao's waist. Finally, when all the shame and anger accumulated in the chaotic exhortation to break out, he suddenly took a step forward and drew the leaning sword on Cao Cao's waist.

Cao Cao subconsciously blocked it at that time, but Liu Xie's wrist quickly and steeped, so he dodged Cao Cao's hand and pulled out the Heavenly Sword. Cao Cao's eyes were stunned. It was the first time he found that Liu Xie could still do some martial arts. But then he went down indifferently and there was no panic in his eyes.

However, at this moment, the ruins of the imperial mausoleum are not as indifferent as Cao Cao. Cao Ren stood up for the first time and pulled out the sword at his waist. And those elite Cao Jun also didn't care about the majesty of the emperor, and set up a crossbow to aim at Liu Xie. As long as Liu Xie has any slight movement, the bow and crossbow in their hand will definitely shoot Liu Xie into a hedgehog before the Yitian sword stains Cao Cao's blood.

"No!" Cao Jie could no longer be stimulated. Although she knew that the day she was worried about all day would come sooner or later, she could only faint in the face of all this. What's more pitiful is that the prince in her arms fell to the ground because of his mother's fall, and no yellow door or maid of honor came to comfort him. The loud baby's crying suddenly appeared in the solemn wilderness with only breathing, looking extremely sad and helpless.

The situation is already very tense, and the emperor's angry and sword-drawn move made everyone understand Liu Xie's true thoughts and position. But after all, Liu Xie is not a brainless person. He is very clear that any inappropriate action after him will lead to his forced death, and all his painstaking efforts and humiliation will be wiped out. He is extremely depressed at this moment, but he has to use all his remaining strength and intelligence to resolve the current crisis.

Stab!

Relying on the sky sword, he took a Xuanwu dragon robe and floated in the air.

"General Cao is a meritorious minister who helped Han. Although this imperial mausoleum was destroyed, he did not hide his flaws. Today, I will cut my robe here and swear that I will never allow General Cao to be dismissed!" Liu Xie personally handed the hilt of the sword to Cao Cao and said in a tone that he could not express, "Not only that, I also want to add General Cao as the king of Wei, which is hereditary!"

After one sentence, Liu Xie looked at the courtiers who knelt down again. For a moment, I only felt that my body had been vacated, and I no longer had any faith to stand in this backward and hard world - perhaps, the kind of life in the previous life, which is more suitable for me?

"Very good..." In a daze, Liu Xie heard Cao talking to himself again: "I had just decided to change you as an emperor, but Fortunately, you still know that you have such a little effect of making a wish."

Liu Xie was silent that he no longer wanted to participate in any politics. But Cao Cao's next sentence made Liu Xie couldn't help but feel stuffy and spit out a mouthful of blood!

"I did lose, but you should understand that you didn't beat me at all. I'm just defeated by Ma Mengqi, the king of Yong, and you are just a poor, ridiculous and arrogant decoration..."
