Liu Bei has been very active recently. Ever since he was named the emperor's uncle, he has been attending banquets at the homes of Dong Cheng and others all day long. It seems that his thoughts are very wild.
"This Liu Xuande really can't make people worry at all times." Cao Cao tapped his fingers on the table, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
In fact, it's not just Liu Bei. Ever since he took office as Sikong, have there been few voices against him in the DPRK? It's just that he has great power and firmly controls the situation, so he doesn't give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it. But if he has a little chance
If any flaw is accidentally exposed, these people will definitely seize the opportunity and attack him in groups.
A few days ago, my own spy discovered that Yilang Zhao Yanyin was raising a dead soldier, and wanted to do something extraordinary to him. Fortunately, his men noticed it early, and when he was unprepared, Cao Cao had his men capture him in one fell swoop, and used a large force to kill him.
The crime of rebellion shall be punished by death.
However, not long after Zhao Yan's death, public opinion spread among the people, saying that Cao Sikong was dictatorial and hegemonic, and that Zhao Yan was loyal and upright, and repeatedly offended Cao Cao. He was regarded as an alien by Cao Cao, and he was eventually framed and eradicated.
Cao Cao was naturally very angry at these remarks. It was clearly Zhao Yan who wanted to harm him, but he was just taking advantage of him. In the end, it turned out that the other party was a loyal man of the Han Dynasty, and he was framed.
Is Zhongliang a traitor?
Angry as hell, Cao Cao really didn't have any good way to deal with such public opinions and rumors. Although he knew that this was done deliberately by someone with good intentions, after all, the rumors spread in the market, and he couldn't treat all the people in the market.
put to death.
What a worry. The ancients said that rumors stop at wise men, but the question is, how many wise men can there be in this world? Furthermore, among those wise men, many of them are originally against themselves.
Why do you bother forcing me like this? Do you have to push me to the opposite side of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible!
Cao Cao felt that his head started to hurt again. He took a sip of bitter medicine to calm down his emotions.
This medicine was prepared for him by Wu Gong, the doctor whom Gao Shun had found. Although he could not cure his headache, taking a sip of the medicine every time he had a headache could relieve his pain to some extent.
Since you are forcing me, then I will do as you wish! Don't blame me for being cruel then. After the headache was relieved a little, Cao Cao showed a sharp look.
——————————————————————————————————The next day at the court meeting, Cao Cao advised the emperor: “The ancient emperors searched for seedlings in the spring and in the summer.
, hunting in autumn and winter: going out to the countryside at four times to show martial arts to the world. Now that the world is in chaos, it is appropriate to use the fields to hunt to show martial arts."
As soon as this statement came out, all the kings and ministers were surprised.
Field hunting? What kind of field hunting are you doing?
Cao Cao's opponents began to speculate about what Cao Cao had in mind and what conspiracy he had arranged during this field hunt.
The Han Emperor also had this idea. He knew that Cao Cao's proposal to hold a field hunt was definitely not for a good rest and fun. The Han Emperor subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he looked towards Cao Cao, what he saw was
But it was the fierce look in the other person's eyes.
Emperor Han felt a chill in his heart, and he no longer dared to speak out any objections.
Although Cao Cao was a master of power in the past, his attitude towards himself was very respectful and he could be said to abide by the etiquette of a minister. It was unprecedented for him to blatantly show a fierce look at himself.
That kind of look was seen on Dong Zhuo's face and Li Jue's face. It can be said that it was the source of fear in the Han Emperor's heart. Under Cao Cao's coercion, Liu Xie could not say a word of objection.
"Since Sikong thinks that hunting in the field is feasible, then go and prepare." After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Han finally said this weakly.
Those ministers who claimed to be loyal to the Han Dynasty were panicked when they saw the emperor's promise. In their view, Cao Cao proposed that Tian Lie must have a plan, and the emperor would not easily agree. As soon as the emperor showed his intention to refute, they would immediately swarm forward and criticize him.
Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, the emperor directly agreed to Cao Cao's proposal without even thinking about it, which made them feel incredible.
Could it be that Cao Cao's control over the court was so great that even the emperor did not dare to express the slightest objection?
Everyone looked at each other.
Among the courtiers, Xun Yu sighed in an inaudible voice.
The situation that I was most worried about finally came, and it came so quickly.
——————————————————————————————Cao Cao surrounded a piece of land ten miles outside Xuchang City as a hunting ground and named it Xu
Xu Tian, he drove many wild animals into Xu Tian in advance and equipped them with good horses, handsome dogs, bows and arrows. After all preparations were completed, Cao Cao invited the emperor and all his officials to enter Xu Tian five days later and began hunting.
Cao Cao's original mount, the Jueying Horse, was stabbed to death by the dying Lu Bu outside the city of Xiaopei. Now it was replaced by the yellow flying electric horse as its new mount. At this time, Cao Cao rode his horse and kept pace with the emperor, even faintly.
The earth is half as tall as the emperor.
When the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his ministers saw that he was in such a stateless state, they all dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Gao Shun also rode a horse and followed Cao Cao and the emperor from a distance.
"Tsk, tsk, these days are quite busy. I had to attend Nao Shizi's cultural gathering a few days ago, and today I have to go hunting with my boss." Gao Shun is not good at shooting, and there is not much room for him to perform in field hunting.
, At this time, he was sitting on the horse and thinking to himself.
Everyone entered the hunting ground and the field hunting began. The generals rode their horses to chase their prey.
Although his shooting skills were not very good, he came here and just had fun. With this mentality, Gao Shun also rode his horse to find prey.
After riding his horse for dozens of steps, a sika deer jumped in front of Gao Shun. Gao Shun aimed at the deer's head, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot it.
The sika deer let out a mournful cry, and the arrow shot by Gao Shun pierced its butt hard.
"General Gao, your archery skills are great!" General Cao praised Gao Shun when he saw Gao Shun hit the deer's hip with an arrow.
Gao Shun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Alas, I aimed at the deer's head and shot at the deer's butt. How could I say such a shameful thing?
Over there, Cao Cao also began to embarrass the emperor.
"I would like to see the emperor's archery skills." Cao Cao said to the Han Emperor after he shot a hare with an arrow.
Liu Xie was very depressed. I had been in a deep palace since I was a child. After becoming the emperor, I had been bullied by Dong Zhuo and others. How could I have time to practice archery?
But if at this time, I said something like "I can't shoot" to Cao Cao, it would undoubtedly be showing weakness to Cao Cao in full view of the public, which was something the Han Emperor was not willing to see.
Now how to do?
"If my emperor will not give up, I am willing to shoot on behalf of the emperor." Liu Bei saw the Han emperor's dilemma and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over for the Han emperor.
"As my uncle, Xuande can demonstrate his archery skills on my behalf." When the Han Emperor saw Liu Bei coming forward, he hurriedly said as if grasping a life-saving straw. Since he recognized Liu Bei as his uncle, he had something to do here.
In terms of performance, it can be regarded as a favor for the royal family.
"What your Majesty said is very inappropriate! Although Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle, what does his archery skills have to do with His Majesty's? Today, Your Majesty lets him shoot for you. Will he be allowed to sit on the throne in the future?
!”
These words were extremely rude and heart-wrenching. Liu Xie and Liu Bei's faces suddenly turned purple.
What a shame! What a shame!
Behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stared at Cao Cao with wide eyes.
