Chapter 165: Poor performance, impatient emperor Liu Xie
While drinking and drinking, the host and the guest enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
After the banquet, Liu Bei was carried to a small house temporarily arranged by Cao Cao to rest.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dragged out from under the table and sent away with Liu Bei.
According to research, distilled liquor may have existed in the Han Dynasty.
But at that time, only a very small amount of wine-making equipment existed, and it had not spread among the people at all.
At present, from a comprehensive perspective, the conclusion that distilled liquor was produced in the Yuan Dynasty is more convincing.
Four pounds of 67-degree high-purity Laobaigan was consumed in the end, but less than three pounds were consumed. The "lethal power" of high-purity liquor to the ancients of this era is still very huge.
Guo Jia now knows how to take care of his body. In the end, he only drank about three taels, but now he feels that his brain has become sluggish and the surrounding scenery seems to be spinning.
After watching Liu Bei and others being sent away, he rubbed his temples and asked Lu Yan: "Although Liu Bei's men don't have many talents, they are all devoted to him... If you try to divide them and win them over, it probably won't work.
.”
Lu Yan also drank a lot and looked a little tipsy at the moment, but his senses and consciousness were still very clear.
After hearing Guo Jia's question, he smiled and replied: "Actually, the key still lies with Liu Bei."
"Liu Bei is determined and may not give in so easily."
"There's no rush, we can take it slow and set the trap slowly..."
...
Because Liu Bei and his men were "annihilated" during the banquet, they were basically hungover even the next day.
Therefore, the emperor's summons to Liu Bei was scheduled for the third day after Liu Bei entered Xuchang. Even a blind person could see the emperor's eagerness to summon Liu Bei.
Take a day off.
On the third day, before dawn, Liu Bei dressed neatly and followed Cao Cao into the palace to meet the emperor.
Liu Bei followed Cao Cao and went to court to pay homage to the emperor.
"Liu Bei bows to your majesty, long live your majesty!" Liu Bei's tone was sonorous and his etiquette was meticulous.
"Liu Aiqing, please come back quickly!" After Liu Xie saw Liu Bei, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes. He pretended not to know and asked, "May I ask where Liu Aiqing is from?"
Liu Bei was stunned when he was asked. Although he felt a little guilty, he still stated his identity as he always insisted on, "Return to your majesty! I am the king of Zhongshan Jing after Sheng, and his hometown is Zhuoxian."
Liu Xie pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Oh? I didn't expect Aiqing to be the queen of the royal family! Come on, get the genealogy quickly!"
After a person of unknown origin claimed that he was from the royal family, your emperor actually believed it, and even went so far as to conduct a serious genealogy search and even conduct a family recognition program???
Cao Cao and the civil and military officials never expected that Emperor Xian Liu Xie could not wait to win over Liu Bei in front of everyone.
"How anxious are you?" Cao Cao felt a hint of bitterness in his heart, "I, Mr. Cao, consider myself to be almost always accommodating to your request, Liu Xie, and I always choose the most expensive royal supply.
.And it seems that I, Cao Cao, have never been disrespectful to you at all...but why...why...you...treat me like this?"
Cao Cao's heart was broken, his heart was very painful!
This feeling is like a man who has been treating the girl he loves wholeheartedly, and suddenly one day discovers that the girl he loves actually regards him as a bad guy with evil intentions, and is looking for other men everywhere to help get rid of him.
Cao Cao resisted the subconscious desire to cover his chest. In his mind, a sentence written by Lu Yan in his diary emerged in his mind: "Lick a dog, lick it until there is nothing left."
Historically, Cao Cao's mentality probably changed fundamentally at this moment.
However, now Cao Cao has long known from Lu Yan that Liu Xie is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, but his innocence still allows him to retain a trace of hope and longing.
But unfortunately, what Liu Xie did completely shattered Cao Cao's innocence, and even stepped on it and rubbed it under his feet in front of all the civil and military officials...
As the Prime Minister, Cao Cao was sitting on the stool next to the dragon chair. He silently watched the emperor's figure running back and forth in the hall, with a cold smile always on his lips.
The chamberlain quickly came to Liu Xie with a plate of bamboo slips, which was the family tree of the royal family.
However, only the grandfather Liu Xiong mentioned by Liu Bei was found in the genealogy. As for the subsequent records, I am afraid it cannot be verified at all.
Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, is not famous in history. The only thing that can be praised is that he gave birth to more than 120 sons in his life, and his bloodline was extremely widespread.
Liu Bei claims to be a descendant of Liu Sheng. There is no way to verify this, and he is not afraid of anyone verifying it!
Although there was a slight glitch in the process of "recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan", Liu Xie seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and refused to let go.
"Liu Aiqing, it turns out you are my imperial uncle!"
Liu Bei originally wanted to explain something, but Liu Xie simply collected the genealogy one volume at a time and forcibly assigned Liu Bei the identity of an imperial uncle!
The smile on Cao Cao's lips disappeared. He knew that Mr. Lu Da's words would come true again.
Cao Cao's heart became cold, but he still remembered Lu Yan's words, so he thought to himself: "I have completely lost confidence in Liu Han... But I, Cao Cao, am still loyal to the Han and the people of the Han!"
Since Liu Bei came in, he has been a little uncomfortable with Liu Xie's attentiveness.
What puzzled him even more was, when did such a big event as the royal family's family recognition become so careless?
Not to mention investigating and collecting evidence, he even assigned himself the identity of an imperial uncle without even matching the genealogy. If the emperor is so urgent, there must be a reason for everything!
Liu Bei and the emperor hugged each other, pretending to cry, but he quietly glanced at Cao Cao, who was sitting upright above him, and said, "Cao Cao's momentum is calm, and there is no change on his face...it's unfathomable!"
At this moment, Liu Bei had calmed down.
The emperor's eagerness to win over him was nothing more than looking for foreign aid.
He now lives a prosperous and prosperous life, but as an emperor, he is always ready to take back his rights.
The Han Dynasty has a four-hundred-year foundation. When anyone realizes that it is likely to be ruined in their own hands, they will rise up and make a final struggle to resist... However, now the Han Dynasty has long become an empty shell. Without Cao Cao's efforts to maintain it, it
I'm afraid it has long since disappeared in the wind and rain.
Liu Xie is unwilling to give in!
He has to make a final struggle!
As long as Cao Cao is eliminated and all Cao Cao's power is taken over, the Han Dynasty can be reborn from the ashes under Liu Xie's wise leadership!
The emperor actually recognized Liu Bei, a relative who did not know whether he was real or not, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials! There was silence in both the government and the public.
Before the storm is about to come, it always seems extraordinarily peaceful.
Today, the emperor took the initiative to pierce the last layer of window paper in front of all civil and military officials.
What's ridiculous is that Liu Xie thought he had done it perfectly. At this moment, he had recruited a powerful foreign aid for himself, and he was excitedly sharing his results with Queen Fu.
