Chapter 26: Northwest Movement
A good one to calm down external troubles with internal worries, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
is worthy of being a ghost, and he can find a new entrance to break the game from a defeated situation and formulate such an excellent plan.
This is much easier and less troublesome than fighting on two fronts and calming down internal and external troubles at the same time.
Cao Cao immediately grinned.
"It's good that you are filial piety, you have such a plan, if you had said it earlier, Cao Ren would not have to suffer such a thing."
"The prime minister praised it falsely, and Feng Xiao only thought of it before he came." Guo Jia hurriedly humbled and politely, "Besides, if it weren't for General Cao Ren's risk, Feng Xiao probably wouldn't have thought of this plan for a while." ”
"In this way, Cao Ren is not in vain this time, hahaha!"
Cao Cao was in a good mood at this time, and he was directly happy.
Cao Ren, who was lying on the stretcher, was so depressed that he almost closed his breath.
He was still seriously injured here, and his chest was in severe pain, and he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, but the prime minister was already talking and laughing.
But fortunately, he heard the sentence "It's not a return in vain", which made Cao Ren breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he was injured, he did not complete the task assigned by the prime minister after all, and it is very likely that he missed the prime minister's major event, so Cao Ren actually asked his subordinates to carry him to accept the guilt.
Now that the prime minister has made it clear that he will not be held responsible, Cao Ren can't help but be greatly moved, and tears pass through the corners of his closed eyes.
Cao Cao, who was in a good mood, discussed with Guo Jia for a long time, until he drafted the transcript of tomorrow's court meeting, and then remembered that Cao Ren was still seriously injured and waiting for rescue.
Cao Cao hurriedly ordered someone to find an imperial doctor and come to treat him.
At night, in the palace, Liu Xie sat alone in the dormitory.
Xiang Yu was arranged to live temporarily in the camp of the Dragon Protector Villa, and did not stay in the palace.
Although the Dragon Guardian Villa is responsible for guarding the palace, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Wuzhi never steps into the palace after nightfall.
In the dormitory, only Leng Shouguang and other eunuchs and palace maids served closely.
So at night, in the deep courtyard of the huge palace, there is only one man, Liu Xie, which makes Liu Xie, who has crossed over from modern society, somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, at this time, his harem camp was not huge, only Queen Fu and Dong Guiren, but they also broke through the category of monogamy.
If there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, I'm afraid Liu Xie doesn't know what to do, so he really wants to rely on the flop every night to pamper him?
Shaking his head and abandoning the distracting thoughts in his mind, Liu Xie used the excuse of dealing with government affairs and sent Empress Fu and Dong Guiren to sleep, hiding in the dormitory by himself, feeling the changes in the emperor's qi in his body.
With the superposition of the emperor's way, this breath is becoming more and more abundant, and once it is used well, the effect is comparable to that of thousands of troops.
Controlling the emperor's qi to wander through the meridians in the body, walking Zhou Tian, Liu Xie gradually entered the realm.
"Your Majesty, the flying pigeon from Liangzhou has passed the book."
I don't know how long later, at the door of the dormitory, a head suddenly poked in and said softly.
It was Leng Shouguang, sweating profusely and panting.
This is the inconvenience after nightfall, there is no one available around, only Leng Shouguang.
If there is news outside the palace or something, you have to let Leng Shouguang go to investigate first, and then come back to report to Liu Xie.
In case of an assassin or something suddenly in the palace, I'm afraid it's really a bit tricky.
It would be fine if he came directly, but the palace was so big, if the assassin couldn't find his place for a while and touched the queen and concubine's bedroom, it would be troublesome.
The spring is leaking, and someone is giving a green hat for no reason, I'm afraid no normal man is willing to do it.
We have to find an opportunity to form an organization similar to the East Factory, outside the Dragon Guardian Villa, inside the East Factory, and can also supervise the every move of the civil and military officials, which has a great effect on the establishment of the majesty of the royal family.
Liu Xie thought in his heart, but he didn't delay in his mouth, put away the emperor's anger, and motioned for Leng Shouguang to come in.
When he returned to the court from Liangzhou, he handed over all matters in Liangzhou to Li Guang, and told Li Guang that if there was an emergency, he could fly pigeons to send messages, and he must not leave Liangzhou without authorization.
The northwest border is the lifeline of the Han Dynasty, blocking the Xiongnu and a chaotic minister and thief, Li Guang is here, Liangzhou is stable, if Li Guang leaves, I am afraid that Liangzhou will change hands in an instant, out of the control of the Han Dynasty.
It was only a day after I came back, and a message came from Liangzhou, indicating that something important must have happened.
In that border stopper, the situation is much more complicated than he expected, Liu Xie muttered secretly in his heart.
Leng Shouguang grabbed a pigeon in his hand, took a small letter bucket from the pigeon's leg, then released the pigeon, and handed the small letter bucket to Liu Xie with both hands.
There was a small cloth in the letter barrel, and after Liu Xie took it out, he spread it in the palm of his hand, only to see a line of small characters written on it, "Guanzhong Ma Teng Han Sui, there seems to be a change, and the emperor needs to be careful." ”
Maarten? Han Sui?
Hmph, these two old thieves are really starting to move.
These two people, since the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, have been restless, and once raised troops together against the Han, but they were recruited later, and they no longer rebelled on the surface, but in fact, they have been waiting for an opportunity to rebel.
The northwest has always been a land of war, and has been divided by many forces for a long time, originally Liangzhou had Li Dao, and the reputation of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was outside, although Ma Teng and Han Sui had the intention of getting involved in Liangzhou, but they did not dare to act rashly after all.
Now that Li Dao has surrendered and Liangzhou has returned to the control of the Han royal family, Ma Teng and Han Sui seem to have seen an opportunity from it, and feel that it is a pity that such a piece of fat has fallen into the hands of the weak Han royal family, so they secretly joined forces and began to transfer their forces to the junction of Guanzhong and Liangzhou.
Li Guang was such a person, although he had only taken over Liangzhou for one day, he still quickly noticed the actions of Ma Teng and Han Sui.
If it weren't for the emperor's order before leaving, ordering him not to leave Liangzhou without authorization, I was afraid that Li Guang would immediately send troops to Guanzhong and take advantage of the situation to sweep away Ma Teng and Han Sui.
Although the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry who surrendered was small, in his hands, it could reach 100,000 soldiers, and it would definitely make the enemy cry wolf.
Out of caution, Li Guang quickly reported the news to the emperor.
After Liu Xie saw this message, he seemed to have expected it, and his face was extremely calm.
Li Guang is in charge in the northwest, and although some warlord forces will be restless and make some small moves, they will not be able to set off much of a storm after all, but will allow Li Guang to better understand the details of the forces of all parties in the northwest.
Now Liu Xie's mind is mainly on the east and the north.
Cao Cao should be unable to bear it, if nothing else, tomorrow's court meeting should be very interesting.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie smiled slightly.
…………
The next day, in the main hall of the imperial palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, waiting for the emperor to enter the court.
Since Liu Xie's personal expedition, the prime minister has been canceled from the dynasty system, and the court meeting has been suspended in the past few days.
Today, the early dynasty was restarted, and the civil and military officials arrived early, and even Cao Cao changed his style from the past, and like the hundred officials, he waited in the court very early.
Not long after, Liu Xie entered the court from the apse under the service of Leng Shouguang.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
For some reason, the moment Liu Xie ascended to the court, the civil and military officials seemed to be shrouded by an invisible coercion, and their knees couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow.
This is the imperial qi deliberately released by Liu Xie, in order to deter the ministers and enhance the prestige of the Son of Heaven.
All the officials knelt down in unison, but Cao Cao stood and looked left and right, his face full of embarrassment.
