Chapter 100 by the Son of Heaven

"Report, report, Your Majesty is not good." A little eunuch ran over in a panic.

Emperor Xian, who was eating cakes with Dong Cheng, felt cold. Did Li Wei and Guo Yan chase him? If you want to be arrested this time, you have to die. Thinking of this, Emperor Xian was not in the mood to worry about the cake in his hand. He hurriedly put down the cake and asked the little eunuch, "What happened?"

Although the little eunuch was panicked, his etiquette was still not lost. In the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism first flourished in the Central Plains, the hierarchical concept of "kings, ministers, father and son" was deeply rooted in people's hearts. The little eunuch knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, a large number of cavalry were found 20 miles outside the city."

As soon as Dong Cheng heard this, the cold sweat suddenly stayed. He secretly said that it was not good. Did Li Jing and Guo Yan really chase all the way from Chang'an to Luoyang?

"Your Majesty, gather General Yang to fight against the enemy!"

"Fight against the enemy?" Emperor Xian mocked himself and said to himself, "With Yang Feng's 200 big soldiers, how can he beat the elite of the Xiliang Army?"

"Your Majesty, it's not the Xiliang Army." The little eunuch carefully interrupted.

"Isn't it Xiliang Army? Then why are you in a panic? Emperor Xian said dissatisfiedly.

When he heard that it was not Xi Liangjun, Dong Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Wei and Guo Yan were offended to death. When he went back, he either made a car crack or a five-horse split. Now no matter which way it falls into the hands of the princes, it is ten thousand times better than being brought back by the two thieves.

When the little eunuch saw that the emperor was blamed, he was even more panicked, and his arched arms trembled slightly.

At a glance at the little eunuch who was scolded and scared by himself, Emperor Xian was a little unbearable, and at the same time, he still had a very happy feeling in his heart. It's like the power of life killing in front of him is completely in his own hands, which is the emperor's feeling. Emperor Xian rarely feels that when he is not controlled by that prince, he is like his grandson. Holding this contradictory heart, Emperor Xian slowly said, "Oc's it, it's not the Xiliang Army, which soldier and horse is it?"

"Your Majesty, there is a word 'Cao' on the flag, and I don't know which way it is." The little eunuch answered truthfully.

"Is 'Cao' written on the flag? Whose soldier is this? Emperor Xian frowned tightly and said to himself. Emperor Xian went through all the 18 princes in his heart, but he didn't know who it was.

However, Dong Cheng is still a little familiar with Cao Cao. Last year, I remember that when Yuan Shao put on the table, he elected a man named Cao Cao as the governor of the East County, and the imperial edict was sent to Dong Zhuo's mansion through his hand. So more or less, he still has some impression.

"Your Majesty, is it Cao Cao, the governor of the Eastern County?"

"Cao Cao?" Emperor Xian looked at Dong Cheng doubtfully.

Dong Cheng was also intelligent and immediately understood the meaning in Emperor Xian's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the man who entered the prime minister's mansion alone and stabbed Dong Zhuo with Wang Situ's ancestral seven-star knife a few years ago?"

Emperor Xian thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"When you said that, I remembered something. The person who went to assassinate Dong Zhuo was Cao Cao. It seems that this man is still a loyal minister! If he enters Beijing this time, there is hope for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should reward him well then. However, I estimate that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in Jizhou are about to arrive. At that time, your majesty might as well go to Jizhou. After all, Yuan Shao's power is much more prosperous than Cao Cao now. If he assists your majesty, it will be easier to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

"Hum, Yuan Shao!" Emperor Xian's face was cold, and his tone was also full of disdain, " Jizhou is only more than 300 miles away from Luoyang. If Yuan Shao is willing to come, day and night, he will arrive in one day. And what about Yanzhou? It's thousands of miles away from Luoyang. Cao Cao is loyal*, but Yuan Shao is definitely a two-hearted and treacherous minister. Even if I go to Jizhou, I guess he is the second Dong Zhuo.

......

Outside Luoyang City, Cao Cao's army is slowly walking. After all, in the capital, foreign ministers need to walk from the gate to the gate to the gate of the palace. Then he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times until the Jinluan Hall.

"Lord, when you meet the emperor, you must follow the etiquette and reassure the emperor and the officials. Only in this way can the emperor and all officials be convinced and follow us to Xu County. Xun Yu said.

"Ouch, I know. You have said this three times in a while. Usually, you are not this character!" Cao Cao said with a wry smile.

Xun Yu scratched his head and thought about his behavior just now. It was indeed a little too ink. It's really not in line with his appearance as a clever counselor who 'is in the strategy and wins thousands of miles away'.

"I'm also too excited. Lord, don't mind!" Xun Yu said this to be true, just when he received the emperor escape from the sky and was in Luoyang. Xun Yu was so excited that he offered a plan to Cao Cao overnight - "Blessed by the emperor."

In fact, in later generations, many people said that Cao Cao was 'taking the emperor to order the princes', which is true. Cao Cao's later behavior was indeed coercive. However, Cao Cao was not the first to say this sentence. While Xu County received the news that the emperor was in Luoyang, Yuan Shao of Jizhou also received the same news.

Yuan Shao's confidant Xu You came up with a plan for him, which was the later famous 'taking the emperor to order the princes'.

Although these two sentences seem to be the same, they are indeed thousands of miles apart in essence. Serving, coercion is coercion, and to help the emperor eliminate the opposing forces. It is to safeguard the power of the Han Dynasty, and 'to make the princes' is to seek personal gain in the name of the emperor.

From this, it can be seen that Yuan Shao's camp is beneficial, while Cao Cao's camp is righteous. The values of a camp are determined by the ruler. Therefore, it can be seen that Yuan Shao is profit-seeking, and Cao Cao is benevolent and righteous. Although this value is constantly changing with the environment, it can at least be seen that Cao Cao still attaches importance to 'righteousness' at this stage. I really want to support the Han Dynasty.

"Bear by the way, Xun Yu, I really remember one thing when you said etiquette. According to the court etiquette, foreign ministers need to contribute gifts when they see the emperor. I'm in a hurry. Where can I get gifts for the emperor now? Cao Cao said with a little embarrassment.

Xun Yu smiled, then brushed his beard and asked with deep meaning, "Lord, the emperor has been running all the way. Presumably life will not be better. Do you remember what you said you wanted to eat most when you were chased by Lv Bu in Yanzhou?

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "What do I want to eat most?" I remember what I said at that time that as long as there was a mouthful of broth, drinking was enough. Then Cao Cao understood. He patted Xun Yu as if he was appreciating his wit, "Cao Ren, come here. You go down immediately, go to the farmer to get a chicken, and then tell the Firehead Army to make some chicken soup.

Cao Ren, who was in the whole army, only heard the lord call him and said chicken soup or something. The rest was not heard clearly, but Cao Ren quickly put down his work and trotted over.

"Lord, what do you want the last general to do?"

"I asked you to bring me back a pot of chicken soup." Cao Cao saw that Cao Ren didn't hear it clearly and could only repeat it.

After hearing this, Cao Ren immediately became anxious. Cao Cao is very suspicious, and it is generally difficult to believe a person. Therefore, Cao Ren couldn't help but be busy with his work in the army and was also responsible for Cao Cao's diet and living. A few days ago, Cao Cao's head wind just broke out, and the doctor specifically told Cao Cao to eat less greasy food in recent days. Cao Ren is very loyal to Cao Cao.

"Lord, you can't eat greasy food now. Chicken soup is still..." Although Cao Ren did not continue to say it vaguely, as long as the people present understood the meaning of the words, after all, many times a sentence does not need to be finished, as long as everyone understands the meaning.

Cao Ren's heart still moved Cao Cao. Cao said with a smile, "Why do you care so much? I don't drink this chicken soup. I'm useless. Just go down and prepare." Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao will not explain everything he does, even if his subordinates doubt it, as long as he does it according to his own instructions. However, Cao Cao treated Cao Ren in a mood, so he rarely explained his purpose of letting him make chicken soup.

The purpose of Cao Cao this time is very clear. He wants to bring Emperor Xian back to Xu County. Along the way, he was afraid of being preempted by Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao traveled day and night.

Yuan Shao is actually a little moved by the matter of welcoming the emperor. However, according to Yuan Shao's personality, he had to hesitate for a few days, and then summon counselors to discuss it for a few days. Therefore, he, who was closest to Luoyang, missed this opportunity and let Cao Cao take the lead.

When Emperor Xian learned of Cao's arrival, Emperor Xian held a complicated heart. He was not only afraid of Cao Cao but also a Dong Zhuo. But I don't want to stay in Luoyang so poor. However, soon his complicated heart was interrupted by the little eunuch. At this time, Cao Cao had arrived at the gate of the palace.

Although the palace has been burned to ashes by Dong Zhuo, it is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty and the foundation of the country. Therefore, the emperor ordered someone to simply clean the Jinluan Hall, which symbolizes the emperor's authority, and prepare to meet his foreign minister Cao Cao here.

The ministers who have been idle for many days have also been busy. Emperor Xian also put on the long-lost dragon robe and looked at the ruined and ruined palace. Emperor Xian secretly prayed in his heart.

"I hope this is an opportunity and an opportunity to revitalize the big man..."
