Chapter 604
With such subjective assumptions, Diao Chan could only determine that Sun Quan chose the Bu family because of Bu Lianshi, otherwise she would not be able to find any other reason.
When Diao Chan discovered this fact, she felt very complicated, and she couldn't tell what kind of thought she was. She wanted to ask Sun Quan clearly, but what is her identity Diao Chan and what qualifications are she?
Then he warned Sun Quan not to be nepotist? Just kidding, since the Bu family can appear on this list, it means that Diao Chan also recognized the Bu family's ability to enter the selection department. So, why do you say that Sun Quan is nepotist?
So Diao Chan had no choice but to do it as Sun Quan ordered.
But it would be fine if Diao Chan didn't think about anything, but she thought so much. Therefore, when making some arrangements, Diao Chan almost subconsciously considered Sun Quan and made some self-righteous and unnecessary actions.
Since ancient times, the officialdom has been a gathering place for smart people. Diao Chan can figure out Sun Quan’s intentions, and the people below can figure out Diao Chan’s intentions. As a result, Diao Chan obviously did not do too much, but after passing it down one by one, Diao Chan’s intentions, or Sun Quan’s intentions, have become quite obvious.
For a time, everyone agreed that Bu Lianshi was Sun Quan’s woman, but he was just missing a title for the time being.
At the same time, Xu Du and Emperor Xian worshipped their ancestors and prayed for peace and prosperity in the country. Liu Bei was able to travel with him because he was a relative of the Han Dynasty.
When he reached a place where no one was left, Emperor Xian whispered to Liu Bei,
"Uncle Emperor, how are you prepared?"
Liu Bei's face froze, and he naturally knew what Emperor Xian said.
Although Emperor Xian was the emperor, he had always been inferior to others and lived a very cowardly life. He used to be Dong Zhuo, but later Li Guosi. He finally escaped from the sea of suffering and thought Cao Cao was a loyal minister, but he never thought that in the years he came to Xudu, Emperor Xian was still a puppet without real power.
Although Emperor Xian had to admit that Cao Cao was much better than Dong Zhuo and others, at least on Xu Du's side, the conditions were very good. Cao Cao gave him enough respect. It can be said that from a material and spiritual perspective, Emperor Xian was already a true king.
Unfortunately, Emperor Xian, who was in troubled times, had ambitious ambitions. Emperor Xian was different from Sun Quan. He didn't want to be a prince of Xiaoyao. He wanted to make trouble right! He wanted to unify the world! He wanted to revitalize the power of the Han Dynasty! He wanted to rule in charge!
Everyone is used to thinking from their own perspective. Therefore, even though Cao Cao has countless reasons to support himself as a loyal minister, in the eyes of Emperor Xian, if you do not hand over power, you will treat me as a puppet and you will be a treacherous minister!
Not long ago, while Cao Cao was experiencing Xuzhou in the east, Emperor Xian secretly issued a Taoist edict to his father-in-law Dong Cheng, asking Dong Cheng to secretly contact the aspiring people and get rid of Cao Cao. The Han clan relative Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu were naturally one of these aspiring people.
"Cao Cao is suspicious and cautious, especially in recent times, with strict defense around him, and it may be difficult to perform assassination." Liu Bei replied after thinking about it.
Emperor Xian's face changed slightly,
"What should I do according to the emperor's opinion?"
"The people Cao Cao is worried about now are nothing more than Yuan Shao and the Sun family. They contact all the princes and defeat Cao Cao from outside. They will probably have a greater chance of success." Liu Bei said, "I am afraid that now I am afraid that Cao Cao will use His Majesty's name to let other princes suck each other in the middle, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Once Cao Cao's treacherous plan succeeds, no one will be able to stop him in the end!"
Emperor Xian nodded,
"I have heard of this. I heard that Cao Cao was trying to contact Yuan Shao to fight against the Sun family together. This shows that Cao Cao was not only afraid of Yuan Shao, but also afraid of the Sun family. On the other hand, as long as we can unite the Sun brothers and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated, right!" Emperor Xian said excitedly. Only at this moment can he feel like he is instructing the country and controlling the whole world.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Bei quickly bowed and bowed.
However, Emperor Xian is not an innocent person after all, and his experience from childhood to adulthood cannot tolerate him being innocent. After simple excitement, Emperor Xian also returned to reality.
"How much does the emperor know about Yuan Shao and the Sun brothers? In your opinion, who is more reliable and who is more loyal?"
Emperor Xian asked with a narrowed eyes. This was his most concerned and practical question. After Dong Zhuo left, Cao Cao came. If Cao Cao left, another similar one came, then what's the point of getting rid of Cao Cao!
"As a descendant of the famous family, Yuan Shao had four generations and three masters, and was famous outside. Logically speaking, he would not be incompatible with people like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. But looking at what Yuan Shu did, it would be impossible to say just that he was born." Liu Bei replied after thinking, "In contrast, Sun Ce may not know etiquette and was too obsessed with military power, but the military family members were like this, and Sun Jian was almost the same back then. Seeing that Sun Ce was in Jiangdong and ignored the slightest, he should know that this person should only have ambition but no ambition."
However... Liu Bei had a half sentence in his heart at this time. Sun Ce might not have ambition, but Sun Ce is more than Sun Ce! Compared to Sun Ce's determination to fight, Sun Quan established a selection department, cultivated his confidants, rectified the gentry, and joined forces with Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism. Every step seemed not so simple.
Of course, as long as Sun Ce has the final say in one day, Liu Bei will naturally not have any mistakes in his words. Speaking the second half of the sentence will only make Emperor Xian feel troubled, and it would be better not to say it.
"Uncle Emperor, would you like to take me a secret decree to contact the Sun family? We will definitely succeed if we do a two-pronged approach!" Emperor Xian decided immediately.
"Abide by the imperial edict!" Liu Bei bowed quickly.
"This trip is dangerous, you must be mentally prepared, Uncle Emperor." Emperor Xian grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said heavily. Once it is exposed, Emperor Xian may be fine, but Cao Cao will never let Liu Bei and others go.
"I just want to live up to your Majesty's entrustedness and die without regrets!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.
"Okay! If all the famous scholars in the world are like emperors, why worry about the great man's prosperity!"
Xu Du, another place,
"As expected, Yuan Shao came to us to ask for the emperor." Xun You said, holding the document.
"What should I do now? Listen to Yuan Shao's tone, if we don't agree, he will not send troops to Xuzhou." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
"Yuan Shao is really confident. If the Sun family is allowed to grow up, he will not be afraid of raising a tiger at all?"
"No, Yuan Shao is not arrogant. He is just sure that we dare not refuse to agree to him."
"It doesn't matter why Yuan Shao thinks, what we should do now is the key." Cao Cao interrupted everyone's argument, "Otherwise, even if Yuan Shao still starts a war with the Sun family, he probably doesn't mind practicing with us first. I know Yuan Shao, he is such a person!"
Yuan Shao is very proud of his face, and the ownership of Emperor Xian may not be the key. Yuan Shao mainly wanted Cao Cao to lower his posture and express his opinion.
"What if Yuan Shao can retreat when he sees the difficulties and give up this condition voluntarily?" Xun You said suddenly.
"Oh? How can I retreat when I see the difficulties?" Cao Cao asked quickly.
"I heard that the emperor took advantage of the opportunity to worship his ancestors and had a private meeting with Liu Bei." Xun You turned to something that seemed irrelevant.
