When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 326 Our Duke of Wei Cao Cao is Stunned

Xudu, this ancient and mysterious city, ushered in a major change in the first year of Jian'an.

Cao Cao used the excuse that "Luoyang was in ruins" and resolutely moved the capital here.

The ancient city of Xudu in the Han Dynasty is divided into two layers, the inner and outer city. The inner city is where the imperial city is located and is heavily guarded; the outer city is winding and tortuous, like rolling hills, tightly surrounding the inner city to form a solid line of defense.

As a puppet emperor, Liu Xie's daily activities were basically restricted to the inner city.

There are a large number of palace maids and guards in the imperial city, but in fact most of them are spies arranged by Cao Cao to monitor Liu Xie's every move at all times.

On this seemingly peaceful day, countless figures suddenly appeared in a corner of the imperial city, appearing particularly eye-catching.

When these numerous spies saw this scene, they were horrified.

They opened their eyes wide and looked at the figures that suddenly appeared in astonishment, and were at a loss for a moment.

Because no one could explain why such a large number of people appeared in the imperial city, and judging from their equipment and momentum, they were obviously a well-trained and well-equipped elite force.

If these people were troops under Cao Cao, it would be easy to deal with;

But if they came here following Liu Xie's orders, then things would be very troublesome!

Thinking of this, these spies did not dare to delay for even a second and hurried forward to deliver this shocking news to Cao Cao.

At the same time, Liu Xie was looking around curiously.

Liu Xie could easily recognize this familiar environment at a glance.

He murmured to himself, "I'm back... I didn't expect that I would actually come back. Although I was mentally prepared, it was still hard to believe when it really happened."

Like Liu Xie, Cao Cao also recognized where he was currently.

This is where Cao Cao and Liu Xie chatted before.

It was here that the two were chatting, but who could have imagined that at that moment, they would inexplicably appear in that pitch-black, eerie and terrifying warehouse.

Then came a series of seemingly absurd things.

After traveling through thousands of years, I met the emperor who had passed away many years ago.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when Cao Cao actually returned to this place again, he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Zhu Ming beside him, with deep fear in his eyes.

From his previous experience, Cao Cao knew that the teleportation was absolutely true.

I just didn't expect that I could easily travel through different eras with tens of thousands of people.

If this happens, doesn’t it mean that Zhu Ming can dispatch large numbers of troops from other dynasties to this place at will?

This was great news for the Han Dynasty - the precarious Han Dynasty was saved;
But it is also extremely bad news - from now on, even my own words may no longer count.

After witnessing the amazing scene of Zhu Ming leading a huge army to complete the teleportation in an instant, Cao Cao's state of mind has undergone a tremendous change.

At this moment, he became more determined to be a loyal Han minister in the future.

Otherwise, when you wake up, you will find your dormitory full of emperors from past dynasties holding heavy machine guns.

Pointing at himself and shouting "traitor".

With so many people suddenly appearing in the palace, the guards responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.

As the leader of this guard army, Guo Jia rushed over anxiously to check the situation after receiving the relevant news.

When he saw the scene clearly, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and he felt cold all over. His heart sank.

I saw tens of thousands of soldiers standing densely on the opposite side, and the huge lineup was truly jaw-dropping.

There are many more guards than the ones he brought with him.

Guo Jia knew very well that no matter what the reason for the appearance of these uninvited guests, he was shouldering the responsibility of guarding the imperial city.

To put it bluntly, we must keep a close eye on Emperor Liu Xie and never let him do anything weird.

As the highest-ranking general of the imperial guard, it would be common sense that even the slightest disturbance in the imperial city would not escape Guo Jia's eagle-like sharp eyes.

However, now, such a large number of strangers suddenly appeared in this imperial city.

And before that, Guo Jia found that he had not even received any news.

When Guo Jia first heard his subordinates report this situation to him, he could hardly believe it.

You know, he has quite a few people under him who are responsible for intelligence collection and monitoring, and the imperial city is filled with both light and dark checkpoints.

If only one or two people could sneak into the imperial city quietly, then there might be a slight possibility.

But tens of thousands of strangers appearing all at once?

Unless all the soldiers on guard duty under his command were blind, how could such a thing happen!

If those men had not repeatedly sworn and guaranteed with their own lives that what they saw was true, Guo Jia probably would not have come to check it out in person.

After all, in his opinion, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.

However, when he saw the huge crowd appear before his eyes, he realized how wrong he was.

The densely packed tens of thousands of people, whether they were Liu Xie's troops or Cao Cao's troops, made Guo Jia feel deeply guilty and fearful.

Because no matter which faction these people belonged to, his failure to detect and obtain relevant intelligence in advance was undoubtedly a serious dereliction of duty.

If these people were really sent by Liu Xie, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

I'm afraid that even Cao Cao, who has always trusted him, would suspect whether he is secretly colluding with Liu Xie. By then, his life would be in danger!
Guo Jia looked at the other side with full alert, and shouted loudly: "Who are you guys? Why are you here?"

Liu Xie looked solemn and was about to step forward and ask Guo Jia to leave quickly.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Zhu Ming, who was standing by, was quick-witted and reached out to grab Liu Xie tightly.

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, what are you going to do?"

Liu Xie looked puzzled and said, "Brother Zhu, I will go and ask Guo Jia to withdraw his troops."

Zhu Ming shook his head slightly: "Xiao Liu, I think it would be more appropriate to let Lao Cao come forward. If you speak, I'm afraid no one will listen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie's body trembled violently, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind - in today's Han Dynasty, he was just a puppet emperor with only a nominal title.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhu is right."

At this time, Cao Cao, who had been silent all the time, sighed deeply and slowly walked out of the crowd.

Guo Jia caught a glimpse of Cao Cao and was delighted. He thought to himself: Judging from the situation, this group of people must have been brought by Boss Cao. In this way, his life might still be saved.

So he bowed and said respectfully, "I pay my respects to the Duke of Wei!"

Cao Cao waved his hand slightly and said in a deep voice: "General Guo, it is difficult to explain the matter here in a few words. He is a distinguished guest of our Han Dynasty, so please leave for now." Guo Jia did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly responded: "I will obey your orders!" Then he led his subordinates away in a hurry.

Witnessing this scene, Emperor Jing of Han snorted coldly and questioned with an angry face: "I never thought that Cao Cao is really something. Even the guards of the imperial city have to obey your orders. You are really majestic! If there is a rebellion, it will probably only take a moment."

Seeing this, Liu Xie took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and echoed: "That's right, let alone the imperial palace, I'm afraid even in the forbidden harem, Duke Wei's words are law and he doesn't change his mind!"

Emperor Wu of Han could not help but kick Liu Xie and said, "Don't just talk about others. You were a puppet when you were young, but you have been a puppet for more than 30 years. You can't beat them, but you still have the dignity to call them ancestors. If it weren't for Xiao Zhu, would you continue to be a puppet?"

The atmosphere in the court of the Han Dynasty was solemn and depressing.

Inside the spacious hall, two rows of ministers had already taken their seats, and the seats were all occupied.

Some people closed their eyes, as if they were taking a rest; others were whispering to each other in low voices.

Their eyes met from time to time, and they understood each other tacitly, secretly speculating what earth-shattering event would happen today.

Just yesterday, every minister present received an urgent message from Cao Cao.

The letter contained a strict order: The next morning, unless there was a sufficient and reasonable reason, everyone must be present and no mistakes should be made.

At that time, something of vital importance will be announced to the public.

If anyone dares to disobey, the consequences awaiting him will be disastrous, and he will have to bear all the responsibilities himself.

By now the Han Dynasty was already crumbling, and the government was in decline. Cao Cao held a large army and had great power, and his word was law.

Since Cao Cao had spoken so, these ministers naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest. They all arrived at the court on time, trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, and no one dared to be absent.

While the ministers were still discussing in low voices, suddenly, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps was heard from outside the hall.

When everyone heard the voice, they looked and saw Cao Cao walking into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with great dignity.

In an instant, the noisy discussions came to an abrupt end, and the entire court became silent.

Upon seeing this, the ministers present hurriedly stood up and bowed to Cao Cao respectfully.

"Greetings, Lord Wei!"

"Your humble servant greets Lord Wei."

"It's been a while since we last met. How are you, Lord Wei?"

Facing the endless greetings from his ministers, Cao Cao seemed to hear nothing. His face was as gloomy as water and his eyes did not look away. He strode quickly to a seat in the center of the hall, then sat down cross-legged without hesitation. He slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate, as if all the noise and chaos around him had nothing to do with him.

The ministers around were all dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The Cao Cao in their impression is not what he looks like now.

In the past, no matter how busy or upset Cao Cao was, he would always greet everyone present and show his versatile side.

But what about now?

Cao Cao had a look of indifference on his face, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and he exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers".

The ministers couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and their vigilance instantly rose to their throats.

He secretly wondered why Cao Cao was in such a bad mood, and at the same time prayed silently that he would not offend this powerful figure, so as not to bring disaster upon himself.

You know, on normal days, as soon as Cao Cao arrived, the court meeting could officially begin.

As for Emperor Liu Xie, whether he comes or not actually doesn't have much impact. At most, people will just shout a few more polite words like "Your Majesty, your Majesty".

Just as everyone was thinking different things, a sound of footsteps came from far away.

After a moment, several figures slowly walked into the hall.

Looking closely, one of them was the current emperor - Liu Xie.

However, none of the ministers present recognized any of the people around him.

What surprised the ministers even more was that Liu Xie was like a little follower at this moment. His every move and every word were obviously guided by the middle-aged man next to him.

As the king of a country, such a scene should never occur in this solemn and dignified court!
Even if Liu Xie was just a puppet emperor in name only, at least we still had to do our best on the surface!
Thinking of this, the ministers all cast their puzzled eyes at Cao Cao, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.

Unexpectedly, when Cao Cao saw those people, he immediately stood up with a very respectful expression.

Completely different from the heroic character of the past.

"Could it be that the Cao Cao in front of us is actually an impostor?" One of them murmured in a low voice with a look of suspicion on his face. Although the voice was soft, it seemed particularly abrupt in the hall where it was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.

The other person frowned and said thoughtfully, "Or maybe he was cast under some strange witchcraft? Otherwise, why would he be so abnormal?"

Everyone looked at each other, all of them were shocked and confused.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Cao's usually dignified and stern face, but at this moment, they actually caught a glimpse of a rare hint of respect.

"I actually saw respect on Cao Cao's face. Is this... is this still the expression that the powerful and arrogant Cao Cao could show?" Some people shook their heads in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.

Just as everyone was talking, they saw those few people walking towards the front.

Walking in front was a burly middle-aged man.

He strode with his head held high, walked straight to the dragon throne in the hall, and sat down on it without hesitation.

Looking at Emperor Liu Xie, who was supposed to be sitting on the dragon throne, he was now standing aside like a humble servant, with his head lowered, not daring to move.

From a distance, it really has some of the flavor of Xiaoxiezi.

This shocking scene was like a bolt from the blue, which instantly shocked the ministers present. They were stunned, their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"You bold lunatic! Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly and openly sit on the dragon throne that belongs to His Majesty? This is simply treason!" Finally, a minister with an upright character came to his senses first and asked angrily.

"What an ignorant fellow! He is so bold that he makes Raff so angry!" Another old minister was also so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, and his whole body was shaking.

"You bold lunatics! Even Duke Wei has never laid hands on this seat. Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to act so presumptuous here?" Another minister shouted angrily indignantly.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say thank you in his heart. Can you please shut up if you can't speak?

Many ministers did not act impulsively. Their brains worked rapidly, racking their brains to figure out what caused this incredible scene before them.

Especially considering the various changes that have taken place in Cao Cao and Liu Xie in recent days, some meticulous ministers began to feel doubtful, secretly wondering if the Han Dynasty had been defeated by other powerful forces?

And the person sitting on the dragon throne at this moment is the lord of a mysterious force who defeated the Han Dynasty?
At this moment, Cao Cao stood up.

Bowed.

"Your servant Cao Cao pays homage to the late Emperor Xiao Jing and the late Emperor Xiao Wu!" (End of this chapter)
