Chapter 563 Gathering loyal ministers unwilling to be puppets
The intelligence personnel under Liu Zhang were pervasive. Rumors that Sima Yi and Cao Cao were at odds had spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Although the rumors began to subside under Cao Cao's suppression, most people knew about it. In the Shouchun Palace, those who learned about the rumors
Liu Xie was a little bit ready to make a move again, so he ordered people to recruit Yang Biao, the only remaining man, to finish the job. Of course, there will never be a shortage of people loyal to the royal family, and among these people, there was also Kong Rong, the Taizhong doctor!
"See your majesty!" Since Dong Cheng and his group were killed by Cao Cao, Liu Xie has not summoned Fu Wan and Yang Biao alone for two or three years. Because of this, the two of them survived, and Queen Fu did not step forward.
The footsteps of Concubine Dong!
"No gift, have you heard?" Liu Xie couldn't wait, but the three of them were stunned for a moment.
"What did you hear?" Fu Wan blinked his big eyes, as if he didn't understand.
"Old fox!" Liu Xie is no longer a teenager. Now that he has passed the year, he can already see other people's thoughts and government! However, he still hopes that Fu Wan and others can help, so he can only say with a smile:
"Of course it's a rumor between Sima Yi and Cao Cao. If it's true, Sima Yi can be used by me. Without Sima Yi, how can Cao Cao be my opponent?"
"Your Majesty, even if Sima Yi is at odds with Cao Cao, how do you know that he will not be another Cao Cao?" Yang Biao was scheming. He knew that he had already understood Liu Xie's current situation. If he didn't still have some feelings for Liu Xie, he would never
He will never enter the palace again! In fact, he has been away from the court for several years!
"Master Yang, that's not what you're saying. With Sima Yi's power in the court, we should be able to control it. Besides, Sima Yi was born in a noble family. How can Cao Cao, who was an eunuch, compare to him?" Seeing Yang Biao pouring cold water on Liu Xie,
Fu Wan was a little unhappy, after all, Liu Xie was still his son-in-law!
"Hmph!" Yang Biao snorted coldly: "Cao Cao is the adopted son of Cao Teng, but the Cao family is also a century-old family, the descendant of Cao Shen, a famous official in the early Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao himself comes from the Xiahou family and is a descendant of Xia Houying, a famous official in the early Han Dynasty.
Isn't Cao's participation in Xiahou Ying not a minister of the Han Dynasty? If you can't even trust the heroes of the past, how can you trust the Sima family?"
"The Sima family has been inherited for thousands of years, how can Cao Shen, Xia Houying and others be comparable?" After Fu finished tit-for-tat, before he started scheming against Cao Cao, he and Yang Biao started fighting!
"It's ridiculous! Just because it has been passed down for a long time, you dare to believe him. The Yuan family is not a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Yuan Shu still rebels! The palace where your Majesty lives was built when Yuan Shu became emperor in the past!" Yang Biao sighed.
.He really didn’t want to see Liu Xie go against Cao Cao, otherwise he couldn’t guarantee what Cao Cao would do!
"Yuan Shu is just an individual!" Fu Wan blushed. He was a supporter of the Yuan family back then and had asked the Yuan family for help several times. Unfortunately, the Yuan family didn't seem to think highly of Liu Xie!
"Extraordinary? It's this extreme that almost overthrew the Han Dynasty!" Yang Biao sighed: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has nothing to do with you now, and he is at war with Liu Zhang. If you make any changes, it will definitely lead to defeat on the front line.
.At that time, even if Cao Cao is gone, there will still be Zhang Cao and Wang Cao. If Liu Zhang is allowed to unify the world, you will not end well, so please think twice!"
"Yang Biao, I haven't seen you for a few years. I only knew that you ignored the government, but I didn't expect that you would turn to Cao Cao?" Fu Wan pointed at Yang Biao and cursed, as if Yang Biao had betrayed the emperor.
"Alas...you can forgive the evil you do by God, but you can't live if you do it yourself!" Yang Biao sighed and said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I am also a burden here. From today on, the old minister will no longer interfere with the government affairs. Please invite a few
Don't come looking for me again. Say goodbye!"
"Your Majesty, do you really want him to leave? If he tells Cao Cao about us, we will be dead!" Looking at Yang Biao striding out of the palace, Fu Wan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Forget it! Mr. Yang is old. Why do you have to argue with him? I believe he will not betray us!" Liu Xie sighed. How could he not understand what Yang Biao meant, but he wanted to let him continue to be a puppet.
Not willing to give in! In the past, Sima Yi was a mountain that weighed him down. Now Cao Cao and Sima Yi have fallen out. If he can win Sima Yi under his command, he will have a chance to become a legitimate emperor! Of course, if Cao Cao and Liu Zhang don't fight
, even if Liu Xie wins Sima Yi, he still has no confidence that he can get rid of Cao Cao!
"Your Majesty is generous, I admire you!" Kong Rong, who had been silent for a long time, was quite happy to see Liu Xie being so generous. A wise monarch must not only have outstanding abilities, but also be measured, otherwise he will never be able to become a
Lord Ming!
"Doctor Kong is so complimentary!" Liu Xie said: "Master Yang assisted the late emperor for more than ten years and served me for more than twenty years. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements. Now, he has no confidence in me, and I will not force him. After all, I
I have been trapped by Cao Cao for more than twenty years, and in the past twenty years, my power has become weaker and weaker! To tell the truth, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of losing my ancestors. Although Liu Zhang looks down on me, I cannot ignore it.
His royal bloodline. Instead of letting Cao Cao, a rebellious minister and traitor, usurp the throne, it is better to hand over the world to the emperor's uncle! Since the battle between the thief Cao Cao and the emperor's uncle is at a critical period, I will help the emperor's uncle and also give myself a try! If
If we can get rid of Cao Cao, the world will decide between me and the emperor's uncle. At that time, no matter whether we win or lose, the Han Dynasty will still belong to the Liu family!"
"Your Majesty is indeed wise!" Kong Rong saluted again: "If your Majesty can really get rid of Cao Cao, I am willing to go to Chang'an in person and tell Duke Qin to surrender! With Duke Qin's loyalty, he is by no means an ambitious person. However, I hope that your Majesty will be able to do so by then.
Listen more to Qin Gong's teachings, so that the Han Dynasty can maintain long-term peace and stability!"
"I remember what Dr. Kong said!" Looking at Kong Rong, Liu Xie sneered in his heart. When he thought about it, the biggest careerist in the world was Liu Zhang. Otherwise, he would have stopped being Cao Cao's puppet. His feelings towards Liu Zhang
Even the water of the Yellow River cannot wash away hatred! If he takes power, the first person to be killed will be Liu Zhang!
"That's great!" People's hearts are apart. Although Kong Rong has no ability, he is a humble gentleman. How could he know what Liu Xie was thinking? He thought Liu Xie really listened to his words!
"Doctor Kong, the most important thing now is how to get rid of Cao Cao, a traitor and traitor!" Seeing that Liu Xie and Kong Rong were off topic, Fu Wan immediately stood up to correct them!
"I'm confused!" Kong Rong said with a smile: "Abbott, with our power, we can't do anything to Cao Cao. If we want to help His Majesty, we have to win over Sima Yi. I still have a few friends in Shouchun who may be able to help.
I'm busy, but I still need you to handle the matter of contacting Sima Yi!"
Fu Wan sighed: "In fact, it is best for Yang Biao to contact Sima Yi. After all, the Yang family and the Sima family are both aristocratic families, and they have a long history! Although my status is noble, I can't get into the eyes of the aristocratic family.
!”
"This..." Liu Xie asked: "About Yang Biao, is there no one who can serve me?"
"Yes!" Fu finished and said, "Cui Yan and Cui Jigui are from the Cui family of Qinghe. They are upright and serious and loyal to His Majesty. With the background of the Cui family of Qinghe, if Cui Yan is willing to help contact Sima Yi, it will surely come true!"
"Cui Yan is indeed a good candidate!" Kong Rong nodded and said: "I heard that the Cui family and Qin Gong had a feud, and Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Lin also died under Qin Gong's sword. It is said that Cui Yan died because of his brother's death.
He has always been grudge. Frustrated, he moved away from Jizhou, but did not choose to become an official in the court. I don’t know if he will help us!"
"If someone else invites him, he will naturally not come. If His Majesty orders it, and because of my face, how dare he not come?" Fu Wan patted his chest confidently. Kong Rong knew that he was narrow-minded and could not help himself.
He would confront him tit for tat and remain silent.
Seeing that Kong Rong had no objection, Liu Xie smiled and said: "In that case, leave this matter to the abbot. However, the abbot must pay attention to safety and never let Cao Cao's people know about this! You should know, for
To protect you, I have even alienated the queen. Today I am still here in the name of looking after the prince, so you must be careful!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Fu Wan said: "Except for Sima Yi betraying us, we will never let you have any problems! However, please give me an edict to impress Cui Yan!"
"This..." Liu Xie said hesitantly: "Abbott, what do you think I have here to write the edict? Besides, even if I write it to you, you can't take it out! I think back then, I finally came up with the clothes.
I brought an edict, but Sima Yi saw through it and killed Wu Zilan and the others. I really don’t dare to write any more edicts!”
"If His Majesty doesn't write an edict, why should Cui Yan believe me?" Fu Wan frowned because Liu Xie gave him a difficult problem!
"Prince of the State, why don't I contact Cui Yan!" Kong Rong thought for a moment and said, "He may not believe what you say, but he should believe what I say!"
"Doctor Kong, do you even look down on me?" Fu Wan was a little angry and looked at Kong Rong with blank eyes.
"Of course not! I have a close relationship with Cui Lie, the ancestor of Cui Yan. If I tell him, Cui Yan will believe it!" Kong Rong smiled all over his face. He was the prime minister in Beihai and once said that the house is always full of guests and the cups are full.
As long as I drink wine, I will never be alone. Therefore, he made friends all over the world. In addition, as a great scholar, he talked and laughed with great scholars and never interacted with white people. At that time, many people were proud to know Kong Rong, and he and
It is very common for Cui Lie to meet each other! However, because Kong Rong knew so many people, others did not know who he knew!
"That's it!" Since Kong Rong didn't look down on him, Fu Wan wouldn't be angry. He smiled and said, "Since Doctor Kong has this connection, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Don't worry, Prince!" Kong Rong said firmly: "For the sake of the Han Dynasty and your Majesty, I will do my best!"
"With Doctor Kong's words, I feel relieved!" Liu Xie looked at Kong Rong with a smile, but there was a trace of hatred in his eyes. He already had an image of Cao Cao being stepped on by him in his mind, and he wanted to be stepped on under his feet the most.
