Chapter 121 It’s time to find someone to take the blame
Xu County, temporary palace.
Upon hearing the emperor's summons, Xi Yu followed the attendants and arrived at the palace in a hurry.
Regarding Liu Xie’s closeness in recent times.
Xi Yu had some instinctive resistance. No matter what purpose Liu Xie had in using the name of a relative, it was not a good thing for Xi Yu.
Being close to the emperor seemed to be an extremely honorable thing.
However, people with a discerning eye can eventually see the complexity involved.
What's more, Xi Yu himself is extremely clear.
Sixteen-year-old Liu Xie looked like just a boy on the surface, but Xi Yu had never underestimated him.
Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all.
As Cao Cao finished speaking, several new names for Xu County were mentioned in the main hall in an instant.
Seeing Liu Bei's sad face, Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak again.
It seems that after flattering the emperor, some things gradually began to change.
After all, this is the emperor, and the significance of allowing the emperor to respond proactively is self-evident.
Today's Liu Bei's reputation in the entire Han world is still a bit shallow after all.
Cao Cao raised his voice.
As Xiyu opened his mouth.
The fire in the house was very bright, and Xi Yu felt drowsy after listening to it.
After he placed Liu Bei in Juancheng before, he never took care of him again.
"If you have any suggestions, you might as well tell them and listen!"
"Brother, it seems that Liu Bei is still in Juancheng now. Your Majesty is young and has no relatives, so you might as well recruit him!"
No matter how Liu Xie and Liu Bei recognized their relatives, or whatever.
In his opinion, whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei were born at this time, sometimes, some things were not their choice.
If it can be endorsed by the emperor, the benefits to Liu Bei will naturally be self-evident.
Xi Yu didn't say much, and Cao Cao next to him subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace.
Thinking of Liu Xie's obvious intention to win over, a figure could not help but appear in Xi Yu's mind.
The growth of Liu Bei's status means that his future prospects will inevitably be broader.
But when it comes down to it, Cao Cao is not the kind of person who loves killing.
The title of Yuzhou Governor is insignificant to all the princes in the world.
This is something that cannot be refused.
Liu Xie got close to him just because he wanted to find someone to rely on!
It’s just that he chose the wrong person!
Although Xi Yu was somewhat resistant to Liu Xie's wooing, in fact, Xi Yu didn't have much opinion about him as a person.
Hearing this, Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at the other party: "Brother, are you also planning to see His Majesty?"
Cao Cao's temperament is, after all, somewhat suspicious. Although it is not as obvious as it was in the later period, it is still somewhat evident now.
Others are some trivial matters in the new capital, as well as the issue of how to resettle the people since the winter.
…
The two of them walked together. Xi Yu didn't care whether Cao Cao took Xi Yu's reminder to heart.
He knew that Cao Cao would not target him at will, but his personal life would definitely be restricted.
He didn't want to bear the name of this relative.
What's more, a person who experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion, moved the capital all the way, and was later treated as a puppet by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
Cao Cao was sitting in the first place, and Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao.
Xi Yu shook his head and chuckled.
Whether it's Liu Bang, Liu Bei, or even Liu Xie now.
At the same time, Cao Cao also issued an edict for Liu Bei to enter Xu County to meet the emperor.
As the center of Cao's camp moved to Xu County, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others gradually came into contact with Liu Bei.
"Brother, Liu Bei has some abilities after all. Since he has been recruited to Xu County this time, brother cannot let him leave this place easily."
Perhaps because I felt too uneasy after arriving in Xu County, the role of Yang Biao and others now seems a bit weak after all.
Yuan Shao's matter in the north has been temporarily resolved.
"We might as well change our name to Xuchang!"
Cao Cao muttered the word "Xuchang" at the corner of his mouth and felt that the name Xi Yu mentioned was not bad.
Hearing Xi Yu suddenly mention Liu Bei, Cao Cao took a moment to remember that there was such a person.
It's just the position of a general. Xi Yu's advice is correct.
However, Dong Cheng and others only focused on fighting for power and gain, without paying any attention to the current situation in the world.
There was no concealment in Cao Cao's tone, and his words were extremely candid.
Where is Cao Cao!
Some people say that he was cruel and would massacre cities at every turn, causing a lot of killings.
The people of the old Liu family are instinctive in winning people's hearts.
Like a bird in a cage.
When people around heard this name, they didn't have much opinion.
Moreover, Cao Cao and others would definitely not let him go easily.
The ideal of their group is to help the Han Dynasty, but now that the emperor calls them, how can they refuse?
The names that we were originally arguing over are no longer in dispute.
Now that Liu is under Cao Cao's control and he is on Cao Cao's side, there are some things that should be reminded.
Once in Xu County, Liu Bei could not leave if he wanted to.
It’s time to remind you that what choice Cao Cao will make is his own subjective decision.
What's more, Yuzhou is not under Liu Bei's control at all.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the favor order, the number of descendants of the old Liu family has naturally increased from generation to generation.
But there are also disadvantages to this matter.
"Fengyi has found a relative for His Majesty?"
"Brother is joking!"
Tao Qian reported that he was the governor of Yuzhou, but he had no title.
Perhaps, only he himself knows.
Liu Bei?
Although Liu Bei was previously known as Xuzhou Mu, this title was never recognized by the emperor or the court.
When it comes to relatives, the relationship between Mr. Liu's own relatives is naturally closer than his.
In the end, we came to two opposite sides.
As of today, it is not a big name.
In the main hall, Xun Yu was sitting at the desk at the side, flipping through the memorial. When he saw the two people coming in, he took the initiative to say hello.
Seeing Xi Yu, Cao Cao took the initiative to come over and ask.
Let Liu Bei come over?
As for whether Liu Bei was a descendant of the Empress of the Han Dynasty, although there was much debate in later generations, Xi Yu felt that Liu Bei was not pretending to be so.
And what he can rely on is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others.
But in the final analysis, he is just a young man, and some of his methods are too immature.
It is the choice of the background of the times and the steel torrent of the general trend of the times that pulls the two people forward.
Liu Bei's mood was a little complicated at this time.
Xiyu sighed inwardly.
If the emperor summons him, Liu Bei's status will inevitably rise with the tide.
The bamboo slips that originally recorded the text have been completely replaced.
This name is almost gone out of fashion nowadays.
"I don't plan to take you two with me to Xu County this time. This time, brother will definitely be a bird in a cage and a fish in a pond!"
"Fengyi just came out from His Majesty's place!"
Juancheng, within the residence of Liu Bei.
"Brother, let me see. There is no need to accept this edict. Let's just rush out of Juancheng and go all the way south!"
Have you really made no progress in your heart over the years?
Shi Shu can only see that the other party is controlled like a puppet, but ultimately, he just doesn't have the corresponding opportunity!
Now that the capital has been moved to Xu County, how does Liu Xie view Cao Cao and his own situation?
Speaking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu couldn't help but remind Cao Cao.
Sun Qian remonstrated, and Mi Zhu who came up also nodded.
"Brother, as long as you don't care!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
Everyone wanted Liu Bei to leave Juancheng, but it was a bit troublesome to do it.
The most immediate problem now is Yuan Shu in the south. In this regard, Cao Cao has sent Cao Ren and others to fight against Yuan Shu.
After the title of the imperial capital was decided, Xiyu just listened to the rest.
That sounds pretty good!
What's more, the place where the Emperor is located is itself a complex whirlpool.
Even Liu Xiu of Guangwu Zhongxing did not have much higher status at the beginning.
Xi Yu listened to these names, but did not hear the name Xuchang.
The play is clear.
Cao Cao took the initiative to explain, but Xi Yu just waved his hand.
Liu Bei was a little silent, but Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others who came up were in a different mood.
“I originally planned to go and see it, but now I don’t want to go!”
Entering the side hall, Xi Yu bowed and bowed to Liu Xie.
The boy in front of me was too deliberate after all.
It's like, waiting for him specially.
"How about grievance?"
That is, once Liu Bei enters Xu County, he may be in a dilemma than before when he stayed in Juancheng.
After a pause, he continued.
The word Xuchang then appeared in everyone's ears.
"Ming Gong, Fengyi, you are here!"
He didn't leave the palace until noon.
"Yu has never taken it to heart. When it comes to this matter, I feel a little wronged brother after all!"
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at the Xu County Government Office.
After all, Cao and Liu will be their biggest rivals in the future.
But now, in this short period of time, there are not a few people who have held Liu Xie hostage and proclaimed himself a general.
"Okay, let's call him Xuchang!"
However, the emperor has already summoned him, and if he doesn't go, he will naturally fall into the trap of others.
The word Xu is taken from the original name of Xu County.
As if he was dealing with an errand, Xi Yu smiled on the outside, but dealt with Liu Xie reluctantly in his heart.
Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little relieved, but then he thought of the situation of Cao Hong and others, and couldn't help but explain to Xi Yu.
When the latter saw Xi Yu coming in, he took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face. This move showed a very obvious intention of getting close to him.
Seeing Cao Cao looking in the direction of the palace, Xi Yu's eyes also turned there.
However, before the plan could be implemented, the emperor's edict was now ushered in!
Xi Yu's impression of Liu Bei is not bad.
Liu Bei looked at his two brothers seriously, his expression at this moment was particularly solemn, and he felt a bit entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
"Yun Chang, Yide!"
"I heard that Liu Bei was very stable a while ago, since I brought him up for justice."
It was only after the rise of power that the status of this descendant of the Han Dynasty queen was regarded more highly by others.
Xi Yu was a little helpless because Liu Xie was allowed to get involved with him at every turn.
Since he knew that going to Xu County was not a good choice, how could he be willing to let Guan and Zhang follow him.
The voices nearby who were discussing things also stopped.
Boss Cao would not recruit Liu Bei to come to Xu County if he was not sure. Instead, he would send 500 axemen to attack Liu Bei's head overnight.
He didn't hide anything at all, he directly spoke out the reason why the emperor summoned him just now.
When such an idea came to mind, Xi Yu felt more and more feasible.
…
Thinking like this, Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Cao Cao in front of him.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was carefree.
For Cao Cao.
Nowadays, the scale of paper has reached mass production.
Of course, he did not bluntly say that Liu Bei would be Cao Cao's biggest enemy in the future.
He was currently under Cao Cao's control, and it wouldn't be too long, but under such circumstances, he couldn't do anything.
Not long after leaving the palace, Xi Yu met Cao Cao coming from the other side.
Cao Cao opened his mouth and directly decided to call him Xuchang.
"Your Majesty, you have a lot on your mind. It seems that Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others are always giving advice to your Majesty!"
or?
Seeing Cao Cao and Xi Yu coming in, the people in the corridor consciously stood aside.
If you recruit Liu Bei to Xu County and let Liu Bei deal with Liu Xie, then he will naturally have a lot less trouble.
The existence of Xi Yu made Cao Cao even more concerned.
After seeing the edict, Zhang Fei shouted directly.
Chang means prosperity and vigorous development.
"Xuchang is not bad!" Xun Yu nodded, somewhat agreeing with the name.
That’s right!
Now I suddenly heard Xi Yu say this.
He subconsciously glanced at Xiyu.
The imperial edict summoned by the Emperor of Xu County had already arrived in front of Liu Bei.
Even if the other party has great abilities, he can't make the slightest splash.
"If the eldest brother decides to go, even if Xu County is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, no matter what, my second brother and I will accompany you. If there is any danger, we will be by your side."
If Xi Yu didn't side with him, for Cao Cao, he had no way of knowing what would happen in the future.
When Xi Yu and Cao Cao arrived at the government office, the clerks passing by the door quickly greeted them.
Zhang Fei's meaning was clear, and Liu Bei was helpless when he heard this.
This is the emperor's edict. Although he knows that this may be Cao Cao's intention, there is no way to refuse such an edict.
After all, Cao Cao didn't care much about a sixteen-year-old emperor.
Now Liu Xie is eager to get help.
Beside Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, they stared directly at Liu Bei.
Now because of the emperor, Cao Cao has placed his political focus on Xu County, and the original Juancheng has become a remote place.
Bringing Liu Bei to Xu County was considered under his nose.
"Your Majesty has summoned me?"
"Then bring him to Xu County!"
And he, Xi Yu, seems to be a good candidate in Liu Xie's mind.
Not much different.
"Fengyi, I have already reprimanded Zilian and others for what they have done before. I hope Fengyi will not take it seriously!"
The two passed through the corridor and soon arrived at the main hall of the government office.
In Cao Cao's view, Liu Bei is still a capable guy after all.
Xun Yu took the initiative to speak. Hearing that they were discussing the name of the imperial capital, Cao Cao nodded subconsciously.
In Liujia Village, where Liu Bei's hometown lives, if a brick is thrown down, no one will be a descendant of the Han Dynasty Empress.
However, we didn’t wait until the plan was discussed.
When thinking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu then thought of Liu Xie taking the name of his relative.
It's not a big problem.
Guan Yu did not speak.
"Ming Gong, we were just discussing the renaming of Xu County. Now that the emperor has moved the capital, the name of Xu County is no longer appropriate!"
There are too many descendants of the Liu family.
After the emperor summons him and meets Liu Bei, he will definitely be rewarded.
After hearing the names suggested by others, Xi Yu also spoke up and gave advice.
"I've seen Sikong, I've seen Da Sinong!"
Or maybe there is any kind of clothing and belt edict, but he has no interest in it.
Now, he only needs to enshrine Liu Xie, the emperor.
The two of them nodded, looking at the pile of letters in front of Xun Yu that were now completely replaced by paper, and raised the corners of their mouths slightly.
But the title kept dropping again and again.
Furthermore, Cao Cao has now figured it out, what position does he need when the emperor is in his hands?
His current position as Sikong is enough for him to do many things.
Originally, Liu Bei had already planned with Sun Qian and others how to leave Juancheng.
Liu Xie wanted to help the Han Dynasty, but the ability of a young emperor was limited after all.
Today's Cao army is not suitable for fighting Yuan Shao and others, and the so-called general is just a name in the final analysis!
If this title had been placed decades ago, Cao Cao might still be a little reluctant to give it up.
"Brother, why are you so hesitant? If you don't plan to go, my second brother and I will follow you out of Juancheng. By then, the world will be so big that there will be no place for us to stay?"
After the emperor decided to move the capital, the original government offices in Xu County also expanded a lot.
"Xuchang?"
After receiving the emperor's edict, Liu Bei was somewhat caught off guard.
Liu Bei’s Han clan identity.
On the surface, this seems to have more advantages than disadvantages.
He will do the rest!
You must really say this.
He knew that once he left, he would become a caged bird, and it was still unclear when he would be able to escape from the cage.
Originally, the name of Xu County had to wait until Cao Pi took charge.
Cao Cao did not have any objection to Xi Yu's idea of ​​recruiting Liu Bei to Xu County. On the contrary, he fully approved of it.
However, the Fengyi in front of him seemed to be the same as he had seen it before.
After all, it’s just the time!
"Your Majesty seems to be trying to win over me. I think he just moved the capital to Xu County and feels a little uneasy in his heart!"
Entering the government office is a long winding corridor, and there are not a few officials walking in the corridor at this time.
Did Liu Bei do anything wrong?
Not really!
Regardless of whether the benevolence and righteousness shown by the other party is true or false, what is recorded in the history books is that the other party has practiced these two words throughout his life.
"My lord, this is not too bad. Since the emperor has called me, I am afraid that my lord cannot refuse. Moreover, this time the emperor calls me, my lord's reputation will definitely increase!"
"You two can leave Juancheng here and go south. If I get out of trouble in the future, I will definitely rely on you two!"
After saying this, Zhang Fei was about to refute, but Guan Yu reached out and pulled him.
Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian again.
"Gongyou, you will be following Yun Chang and Yide this time. They both need to take care of you!"
Chapter completed!
