Due to Xun Yu's obstruction, Cao Cao's plan to claim the title of Duke of Wei has not made any progress.
The day after Cao Zhang visited Gaoshun Mansion, Hua Xin once again went to the Han Emperor to express his gratitude, saying that Cao Cao's meritorious service was unparalleled in the country and could not be commended unless he was a duke.
This time, the words used by Hua Xin were a bit more coercive.
The promulgation of justice was pending, and Cao Cao had no patience to wait any longer. Under Cao Cao's instructions, if it had been a few days ago, faced with such a rude threat from Hua Xin, Liu Xie would have been unwilling to sit on the dragon's bed helplessly.
He was at a loss on the chair. However, it was different now. Facing Hua Xin at the foot of the steps, Liu Xie looked down at him calmly. There seemed to be a trace of contempt in his eyes that seemed to have no emotion.
He didn't take the person in front of him seriously at all.
Hua Xin felt quite uncomfortable when the Han Emperor stared at him like this.
When he first heard that Cao Cao had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, Hua Xin felt that his opportunity had arrived. If he grasped it well this time, his rise to prominence would probably not be far away.
So Hua Xin recommended himself to Cao Cao and expressed his willingness to be a pawn.
Cao Cao was naturally happy to see Hua Xin's self-recommendation come to fruition. Cao Cao's ambitions were inflated, but he did not want to have a fierce conflict with Han Emperor Liu Xie personally. It would be great if there were some chess pieces that he could use for his own use.
Based on Hua Xin's original judgment, Cao Cao's power was now so huge that the Emperor could not imagine it. Although the Emperor was resentful towards Cao Cao, he was mostly just afraid of him. As long as he threatened him a few more times, he would not worry about the Emperor not submitting obediently.
Following Cao Cao's wishes, he was granted the title of Duke of Wei.
However, nine out of ten things go unsatisfactory. Just when Hua Xin thought that this mission would definitely succeed, Xun Yu stood in front of him and Cao Cao.
Xun Yu's numerous affairs put Hua Xin under tremendous pressure.
The most direct problem is that after Xun Yu stood up for the Han Dynasty, the emperor's attitude towards him can be described as indifferent. No matter how fiercely he used words to offend the authority of the royal family, the emperor always used indifference and eyes.
Look at yourself.
That extremely cold look made Hua Xin feel a little uneasy, knowing that the person he was fighting against was now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and at least in name he was still the lord of the world.
If Cao Cao really succeeds in becoming the Duke of Wei, then his future will naturally be guaranteed. But if Cao Cao fails to become Duke of Wei, then he will be the biggest criminal who stirs up trouble!
Even if Cao Cao and the Emperor were completely at odds with each other, the Emperor would still be unable to shake Cao Cao. Then, the sin of tens of thousands of deaths would naturally be placed on his own head!
Just when Hua Xin was being stared at in the back by the Han Emperor, Xun Yu stood up one day and launched the most violent attack on Hua Xin.
Hua Xin used relatively fierce words in Chen Biao today, so Xun Yu was also rude. He changed his image of a humble gentleman in the past and scolded Hua Xin one after another for causing harm to the country and treacherous ministers. He even asked the Han Emperor for an order to have Hua Xin
Execution is the standard punishment.
This time, Hua Xin was completely frightened. He really did whatever he wanted. He had just thought of the sin of ten thousand deaths, so Xun Yu asked for an order to execute him.
If someone else proposed to execute him, Hua Xin would definitely sneer at him, look down upon him, and even scold him directly. But these words came from Xun Yu's mouth, which was enough to scare Hua Xin into a cold sweat.
Even if Xun Yu and Cao Cao are estranged, they are definitely not something that I can resist now.
Although Hua Xin knew that Cao Cao would never watch him die, the momentum that Xun Yu showed in front of him at this time really made him dare not raise his waist even higher.
A gentleman is calm when he is not angry; when he is angry, he is as powerful as thunder!
When Xun Yu proposed Hua Xin's death, the expression on his face was very serious. Anyone could see that he really wanted Hua Xin to die and was not threatening him.
Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt so happy at this time. Xun Yu was on his side, which made the resistance he endured suddenly lessened a lot. Even during this period, some people who had been under his control for many years
Those who were wavering between themselves and Cao Cao also turned to his side one after another.
Xun Yu's influence and appeal really made Liu Xie very happy. Ever since he became the emperor, Liu Xie had never been as happy as he is now.
Since he came to the throne, he has been oppressed by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao. Now he finally found an opportunity that seemed to be able to fight back. Liu Xie naturally did not want to miss it. Xun Yu requested that Hua Xin be executed, and Liu Xie naturally felt a hundred thoughts in his heart.
willing.
It can be said that Liu Xie was a little carried away at this moment, and he even wanted to announce his decision to kill Hua Xinwen.
Looking at the expression on Liu Xie's face, Cao Cao knew that the other party was already looking forward to executing Hua Xin. Although the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Xie was sinister, they had been powerful ministers for so long, and they had no idea about the character of this puppet emperor.
It's still clear.
At this point, Cao Cao had to stand up. So far, although Cao Cao's ambitions have long been inflated, he has not directly collided with the Han Dynasty. Instead, he has chosen Hua Xin as his spokesperson to deal with the Han Dynasty and force the Han Dynasty.
concession.
What he never expected was that due to Xun Yu's interference, Hua Xin's life was now at stake, and he had to intervene. After all, Hua Xin was forced into this situation for his own sake.
If I continue to turn a blind eye, who will come to serve me in the future?
