Chapter 581: Emperor Xian's Double Kill
"Okay, Chen Qun later, you can go and find out Chen Deng's tone, and be sure to ask a reason." Cao Cao commanded.
"Subordinates receive orders." Chen Qun replied.
"Actually, the incident in Puyang last time can be regarded as a great reminder to us, we can take the initiative to ask Chen Deng to close the city gate to prevent Lu Bu from returning to the city after we lure Lu Bu out, as we did when Puyang finally won the victory; We must not easily agree to Chen Deng's proposal to help us secretly open the city gate and let us enter. In this way, the risk can be minimized, and even there is no risk at all! Guo Jia added.
Xun Yu nodded beside him,
"Feng Xiao is right, when Lu Bu is not in the city, Chen Dengcai is easier to get. If Chen Deng really wanted to help us, there would be no reason for him to refuse such a plan. ”
Cheng Yu also followed up and said,
"And this kind of thing, I think it's better to negotiate it directly now, and if there is no major event in the future, don't exchange letters and communicate secretly, so as not to be discovered by Lu Bu, don't say anything, and it will hurt Chen Deng's father and son."
"That makes sense, then Chen Qun, you can express this idea together in the future. Let Chen Deng prepare early, Lu Bu is arrogant and belligerent, as long as the war starts, Chen Deng has more opportunities. Cao Cao commanded again.
"Yes!" Chen Qun replied
The Imperial Palace, the residence of Princess Hongnong,
"I think, I'm ready." The little fool said to Tang Ji formally.
Tang Ji, who was personally watering the flowers, shook his hand slightly, stopped and said,
"So fast?!"
"Hmm. I've done it with a lot of heart. The little fool nodded seriously.
Tang Ji turned around, looked at the little fool and asked.
"Are you sure you're really ready? Are you sure you're really working hard? Are you sure it's not an impatient thought that you are looking forward to too much? ”
"I ...... I ......"
The little fool, who was still very convinced, listened to Tang Ji's words. All of a sudden, my heart was bottomless, this is definitely the normal state of people, of course, it is easier to be guided by little fools.
"I think it's better to be cautious about such an important matter, after so many years, you don't lack such a little time, right? After all, even if it's me, I don't know if I have a chance to do it all over again if I fail. Tang Ji said softly.
"I, I think. I seem to be a little bit close. No, I'll do it all over again! "The little fool who has never been confident in himself changed his mind immediately.
"It's okay, take your time, don't rush, really, don't rush......" Tang Ji muttered.
After the little fool left, a palace maid came up and said,
". Summoned by the Holy Lord. ”
Tang Ji's body trembled,
"Well, I'll go right away."
Subsequently, Tang Ji followed the palace maid to the imperial garden. In addition to offering the emperor, there are also Queen Fu and Dong Guiren. Emperor Xian summoned Tang Ji. It is impossible to be as formal as summoning ministers, and it is impossible to be as casual as meeting harem concubines. And, in order not to be suspicious. It is usually in the form of a banquet with other people present.
However, whether it is Empress Fu or Dong Guiren, they are obviously their own people who offer the emperor.
"See Your Majesty." Tang Ji said.
"No need to be polite. Imperial sister-in-law, I was drinking and enjoying flowers in the backyard with the two concubines today, and I accidentally remembered that the imperial sister-in-law was just a person, and I sent someone to invite her, and the imperial sister-in-law would not feel abrupt. Emperor Xian asked politely, of course, now these polite words are just to deal with Cao Cao's eyeliner.
When the family was "harmonious" and composing poems, Emperor Xian asked in a low voice,
"How's the preparation?"
Tang Ji's eyelids jumped slightly, and he lowered his head and replied,
"Hu Tu has always been a girl who has no self-confidence, she has always said that she is not ready, I think it may take a while."
"Don't be in a hurry, it's okay to take your time in this matter, you must be stable, after all, we may only have one chance, and we must not make any mistakes temporarily." Emperor Xian said.
Tang Ji was silent. Emperor Xian looked at Tang Ji's face and couldn't help but say,
"I know you're in a difficult situation, but now I can't do anything else. Cao Cao's wolf ambition is definitely more dangerous than Dong Zhuo back then, and Cao Cao is extremely cunning and does a good job on the surface, and people with lofty ideals in the world can't understand my true thoughts at all! The longer this kind of thing drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to me. And even if Cao Cao dies, as long as Guo Jia is still there, then Guo Jia will immediately become the second Cao Cao, and even surpass it. You are now for the whole world, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, if you succeed, then for thousands of generations, future generations will not forget your merits! ”
Tang Ji was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice,
"What if Guo Jia died, but Cao Cao didn't? Don't your Majesty feel that this may bring danger to yourself? ”
"Haha! Even if Cao Cao didn't die, as long as Guo Jia died, it would directly cut off Cao Cao's arm! As for the danger, Cao Cao, would he dare to kill me?! Emperor Xian sneered.
That's right, now Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the dedication of the emperor is the key, if Cao Cao does what happens to the emperor, or chooses another emperor to come out, then Cao Cao will instantly fall into Dong Zhuo and the like, at that time, those princes will not take care of Cao Cao at all, and they can even oppose Cao Cao in a bright and bright way, so what else will Cao Cao take to order the princes? !
It is precisely because of this that in history, when was the incident of Dong Guifei and Queen Fu not behind Emperor Xian's ghost? As a result, in the end, the dead died, the killed killed, and the emperor himself had a problem? It is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to move him Liu Xie! This is a matter of principle. Emperor Xian saw this point, the previous conspiracy had just failed, and Emperor Xian dared to immediately design a new conspiracy.
As for why he killed Guo Jia directly, and no longer won over Guo Jia like before, it was because Emperor Xian decided in his heart that there was no longer any possibility of winning over Guo Jia. In that case, Guo Jia did not oppose Cao Cao, and Cao Cao did not suspect Guo Jia, why did he waste time and energy on Guo Jia and do useless work.
Since Guo Jia is Cao Cao's die-hard faction, and he is so powerful, just like Emperor Xian said, once Cao Cao dies, then Guo Jia will immediately become the second Cao Cao, therefore, Emperor Xian must take a two-pronged approach, and he can't let go of Cao Cao or Guo Jia. And because of the card Tang Ji, it is obviously easier to deal with Guo Jia than against Cao Cao.
Of course, it has been made clear above that Emperor Xian is not only dealing with Guo Jia this time, he is also dealing with Cao Cao. Tang Ji was used to deal with Guo Jia, and as for Cao Cao, it was Ji Ping, the imperial doctor! Although Emperor Xian's actions are now very restricted, Tang Ji himself is in the palace, and Ji Ping, as a physician, always goes in and out of the palace, and can easily contact Emperor Xian. These two people are already one of the few cards that can be used in the hands of Emperor Xian. Although there are not many of them, it is clear that they still have the flavor of trump cards.
