Chapter 596: The Emperor Sets Fire
Xiahou Dun had something hidden in his heart and wanted to discuss it with Xun Yu.(www
So, when Xiahou Dun arrived outside Weiyang Palace where hundreds of officials were lined up, Xiahou Dun immediately found Xun Yu who was in front and approached.
"Sir, I wonder what the emperor means?"
Xiahou Dun asked in a low voice.[
"I don't know, but it must be because of Lu Su's troops coming to the city. Just wait and see what happens, and then take advantage of the situation." Xun Yu said in a low voice.
This was not pure deception, Xun Yu really did not know. After the crown prince left the city, the emperor did not summon him alone or contact him for two or three years.
But Xun Yu could guess that the emperor probably intended to cause trouble for Xia Houyuan and had no other intentions.
After all, my son has arrived outside the city, so I should put in some effort.
What's more, the identity of the emperor is there, no matter how much trouble is made, nothing will happen.
As the saying goes, father and son go into battle, and that's exactly how it should be.
Xun Yu was very happy.
Xiahou Dun was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he couldn't blame Xun Yu. He could only make up his mind and stay at his position honestly, waiting to enter Weiyang Palace.
Soon after, Chen Guang, a confidant of the emperor Liu Xie, came out and screamed:
"The Emperor summons you."
Only then did the ministers file in.
After entering the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Liu Xie had already put on his imperial robes and knelt down on the throne with his imperial crown. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face, which was very unpredictable.
"Meet Your Majesty."
Naturally, the ministers had no time to look at Liu Xie. After entering Weiyang Palace, they immediately bowed down.
"No courtesy, sit down."
Liu Xie raised his hand and said.
"promise."
The ministers agreed, walked to their seats, and sat down.
"I have summoned all my dear friends to come here today, for no other reason than to come for the troops of King Lu Suqin outside the city." After the ministers sat down, Liu Xie said.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Na Lu Su is a traitor."
As Cao Cao's confidant general, Xiahou Dun naturally changed his expression when he heard what Liu Xie said and argued.
"Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world, and when he opens his mouth, he always speaks his mind. There is no doubt that Lu Su is leading the army of King Qin. Does General Xiahou say this to question your Majesty?"
Among the ministers, someone spoke.
Xiahou Dun felt angry and looked up. He was an old official of the Han Dynasty, a captain of Yue Cavalry, a partial general and a general in the royal uniform. He was also the father of Wang Kun, the crown prince.
It's these people again.
Xiahou Dun was even more angry. These people were Liu Xie's die-hard loyalists. Cao Cao spared the lives of these people in order to deal with Yuan Shao and stabilize his internal affairs.
During this period of time, I have indeed become more at ease.
But now he jumped out without hesitation. Xiahou Dun even doubted whether what happened to Dong Cheng back then was also the result of discussions between these people.
Xiahou Dun really wanted to kill Wang Fu with one blow.
However, I remembered that Man Chong valued peace and intimidation as a supplement. He took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intention in his heart. He bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Na Lu Su's Northern Expedition is known as King Qin's army.
It's a real excuse. Your Majesty, let's not forget that Lu Su attacked the clan Liu Biao in Jingzhou, made an enemy of Wuhou Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and killed the general Zhang Lu in the west. This man was not only brave and ruthless, he was also aggressive towards the Han Dynasty.
It's quite insulting, how can it be easy to give to someone?"
What Xiahou Dun said was not unreasonable, as soon as he finished speaking.
It immediately attracted responses from Cao Cao's supporters and some neutral ministers.
