Chapter 283 The Queen
"The matter of the county marquis is very important, and we have to be cautious. The messenger came to Xu Duzhou all the way. He happened to rest for a while in Xudu. Three days later, he waited for the emperor to discuss with Sikong before making a decision. What did the messenger think? Just as Cao Cao was in a dilemma, Guo Jia suddenly stood up and bowed.
Liu Qi can't be awarded the title of Marquis of Hanzhong. Otherwise, as soon as this example is opened, more people will cove for the position of Marquis of County, and the division of the princes will only become more and more serious. No matter which prince is willing to have more opponents.
Cao Cao took a deep look at Ma Wei, took a breath and said, "Then please ask the messenger to go to the post hall to rest!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for the emperor to leave, and immediately brushed his sleeves and left.
Liu Xie above also took a look at Song Zhongzi and got up and left. Then the people on the hall also left in twos and threes.
Xun Wenruo shook his head and came to the front of Song Zhongzi and took the three to the post hall to rest, but obviously because of the things above the hall, his attitude was not as enthusiastic as when he first came.
.........................................................
In a hall, Liu Xie, the emperor who has just left the court, is frowning and looking out of the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
The footsteps sounded, and an old man in a robe came in. The old man had a long beard in his fifties. There was no old age when walking, but gave people a healthy feeling. The old man's eyes were extremely bright and sharp, but his eyebrows were frowned, as if something was annoying.
"I have met your majesty!" The old man walked into the hall and bowed in front of Liu Xie.
Liu Xie saw the old man come in and quickly stood up to help the old man up. Finally, a smile appeared on his gloomy face: "Ji Jun, here you are."
This old man is the current abbot, the general of Fuguo. Since the last time Cao Cao used his clothes and edict to kill all the officials who supported Liu Xie, the whole Xu Du is the only one left to support Liu Xie.
"All retreat!" Looking at the eunuch above the hall, she said in a low voice.
"No."
With the departure of the maid and eunuch, only Liu Xie and Fu Wan were left in the hall. Liu Xie got up and came to Fu Wan's side and whispered, "Your father-in-law, what do you think of Jingzhou?"
"Your Majesty, Jingzhou's move is just threatening Cao Cao. What Liu Qi needs is only a name. The purpose of wanting to be the Marquis of Hanzhong is to annex through Hanzhong, and the Marquis of Hanzhong is just an excuse for him to raise troops. In more than ten counties in Hanzhong, even if Liu Qi is named as a county marquis, as long as Fengyi can have an excuse to send troops in these more than ten counties, this is what Liu Qi wants most. With a calm face and sharp eyes, he pointed straight to Liu Qi's original intention.
"Oh, so Liu Qi is not going to attack Cao Cao back and forth with Yuan Shao." Liu Xie's heart sank and he asked. What he hopes most is that Cao Cao can lose both sides with Yuan Shao, and then he will have the opportunity to win part of the power, and even regain power.
"At present, Yuan Shao's military affairs are flourishing. Once Yuan Shao is allowed to defeat Cao Cao, then Yuan Shao's momentum of unifying the world is not far away. At that time, Jingzhou will not get any benefits. It is not as good as Jingzhou to expand its power at the time of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's decisive battle. There is no concealment in Liu Qi's mind." A touch of sadness flashed in his bright eyes after shaking his head. It was really unfavorable for the emperor to do so.
"In the opinion of the agarch, how many opportunities does Jingzhou have to support me?" Hearing Fu Wan's analysis, Liu Xie's face was more sad, and there was panic in his eyes. Jingzhou was his only chance. If he misses it, he may become a puppet of Cao Cao in his life.
"Well, what happened in those years was that the old minister was not considerate, which made Liu Jingsheng hold a grudge. If Liu Qi already knew that his mother was the old minister sent someone to sneak attack, he would never support your majesty with Liu Qi's strong personality. Now we can only see if Liu Jingsheng has told Liu Qi about this matter. After returning, the old minister will send someone to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Qi. As long as he can support your majesty, he will not hesitate to take the life of the old minister's family. Finally, there was a trace of fluctuation on his wrinkled face, and he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.
"Why did the abbot say this? At the beginning, I also knew about that. If I wanted to say something wrong, I didn't stop the abbot, and it was also wrong. Since Liu Jingsheng knew about it, his son Liu Qi naturally knew it. Liu Qi's must-have character, how can he live a widow to fight against Cao Cao? Liu Xie shook his head.
At that time, he was only ten years old and married Fu Wan's daughter at the behest of his father. Since then, Fu Wan has been supporting himself. After that, although there were some quarrels between the two because of Liu Biao, there was Queen Fu in the middle, but the two had never broken up.
"Your Majesty, you can't give up. There is a glimmer of hope that you should always try. After all, Liu Qi is also a relative of the Han Dynasty. How can he watch the Han Dynasty being trampled and divided?" After he finished, his face turned pale.
"Who is the state father-in-law going to send to Jingzhou?" Liu Xie exhaled and asked.
"The old minister has six sons, and the old minister intends to send the fourth son Fu Zun to Jingzhou." Fu finished thinking about it.
"No, now only the abbot will support me. The Cao thief must closely monitor the abbot. Although Fu Zun is smart, he can't hide it from Cao Cao's eyes and ears. Once he is found by Cao Cao, the abbot's situation will be dangerous." Liu Xie immediately shook his head and refused. The whole Xu was left with Fu Wan to support him. If he was caught by Cao Cao and killed Fu Wan, then he really had no two people with the first news.
"Well, this matter is very important. I really can't believe it. Fu Zun has rarely appeared over the years. Outsiders rarely know his appearance, and since he represents the emperor, how can he send an unknown pawn?" Fu Wan shook his head and said firmly.
Since the moment his daughter married Liu Xie, the fate of their family has been tied to the fate of Liu Xie. If they can't find a way, their family will be destroyed sooner or later.
"Since the abbot's heart has been decided, I won't say much, but this matter is very dangerous, and the abbot must be careful." Liu Xie was still a little worried.
The two of them were talking when they heard the footsteps outside the hall, and both of them were shocked. Although Liu Xie is closely monitored by Cao Cao, there are always a few trustworthy people around him. These people are outside. Once there is any wind blowing, they will make a sound to alert them.
But listening to the footsteps, it was clear that it had reached the door of the hall. Why didn't there be any sound coming in? However, when they saw the figure coming in, both of them were relieved.
The figure at the door of the hall shook, and a woman in a palace satin snow silk skirt came in. The woman was about 20 years old, wearing a flying phoenix golden hairpin, her hair curled up high, and the rest of her hair was scattered on her back like a waterfall, casually tied by a few bright yellow ribbons. The neck is slender, the skin is white, the figure is slim, the walking is graceful and graceful, which makes people can't help but admire it. This woman is the current queen, Fu Wan's daughter Fu Shou.
"Why is the queen here?" Seeing that it was the queen, Liu Xie was relieved, and there was some blame in his tone.
"I heard that my father came here to have a look." It is as crisp as the sound of an owl, and the light footsteps all show the beauty of women.
"You came just in time. The Lord Lord Lord asked Fu Zun to go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Qi to support the widow. You just persuade the Lord Lord." Liu Xie looked at Fu Wandao.
"What?" Empress Fu exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to Fu Wan's side, with surprise in her eyes: "Father, is what your majesty said true? Are you really going to let Fu Zun go to Jingzhou?
Fu Zun is his favorite younger brother. He has been smart and clever since he was a child. He has many similarities with the dead crown prince Liu Feng. Therefore, every once in a while, she will take Fu Zun into the palace for a period of time. Now when she hears that her father is going to send Fu Zun to Jingzhou, she can't help but feel a little anxious.
"Well, I know you love your brother, but now there are almost no people who can trust him. If you send others to Jingzhou, I really can't rest assured. Zun'er is young and smart, rarely in contact with the outside world, and it's easy to hide his whereabouts." Before Queen Fu could speak, Fu finished opening his mouth and sighed first.
He knew that Queen Fu's love for Fu Zun. If it hadn't been for no one to choose, he would never let Fu Zun go to Jingzhou.
Hearing her father's words, Queen Fu sighed and her face was gloomy. She also knew the current situation of Liu Xie. The officials who supported Liu Xie in the last edict had been killed by Cao Cao. Now no one dares to support Liu Xie.
"Then the father will arrange a few more reliable people for his brother, and he can take care of him if something happens on the way." Queen Fu thought for a moment.
"Don't worry, if I'm free these days, I'll go to the post hall to discuss with Song Zhongzi to see if Zun'er can rush to Jingzhou among them." After that, he nodded.
In fact, there is another thought in Fuwan's heart, that is, once something happens to him in Xudu, he can at least ensure the continuous inheritance of the family. Fu Zun went to Jingzhou this time. Whether he could succeed or not, he would not let Fu Zun return to Xudu. The longer the delay, the closer Cao Cao's surveillance of Liu Xie will be. He has to prepare early.
"In this way, the old minister will leave." Fu Wan bowed to Liu Xie and turned around and walked outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Liu Qi in Jingzhou is murderous and gloomy. What should I do if I kill my brother in anger?" When Fu finished leaving, Empress Fu frowned slightly and asked Liu Xie worriedly.
"No, Fu Zun's representative of this visit to Jingzhou is a widow. Even if Liu Qi looks at the Han clan, it will not be unfavorable to Fu Zun. I'm just worried that Liu Qi will not support the widow. Nowadays, only Jingzhou and Yizhou are capable among the Han clans. Although Liu Xuande can be regarded as a supporter, he is beneficial and avoids harm. He is scheming. The most important thing is that he has no disease and no power in his hand and can't play much role. Liu Xie shook his head.
