When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Cao Cao slowly straightened his clothes, and every movement seemed particularly solemn and dignified.

He straightened his body, his face showing an expression of great respect, then took a deep breath and shouted in a loud and clear voice: "Your servant Cao Cao pays homage to the late Emperor Xiaojing, and pays homage to the late Emperor Xiaowu!"

In an instant, the shout exploded in the court like thunder, and the originally noisy atmosphere instantly became silent.

The ministers around all turned their eyes to where Cao Cao was, and their gazes were focused on him like spotlights.

Of course, these looks were not filled with respect or admiration, but rather astonishment, confusion, and even panic, as if they were watching a madman or a fool performing an absurd farce.

The ministers were secretly wondering in their hearts, what on earth did they just hear?
Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu?
As officials of the Han Dynasty, they were naturally familiar with the names of these two former emperors.

Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu were both monarchs of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. They both made extraordinary achievements during their reigns, each created their own glorious era, and became role models admired and emulated by many emperors in later generations.

At this moment, various speculations began to emerge in the minds of many ministers.

Some people thought: "Could it be that Duke Wei suddenly lost his mind and became a fool?"

Some people also whispered to themselves: "Am I still in a dream? Otherwise, how could I see such a bizarre thing?"

Some even speculated secretly: "Could this Duke Wei in front of us be someone else in disguise? Although there is nothing wrong with his appearance, his words and actions are really unbelievable. Why not find an opportunity to introduce him to a married woman later? I heard that Duke Wei has always had a special liking for such women."

Of course, there were also some thoughtful people who thought of Zhao Gao of the previous dynasty and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the Duke of Wei wanted to imitate Zhao Gao's act of calling a deer a horse in order to test the degree of obedience of the people to his authority?"

For a moment, the entire court fell into an eerie silence, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Cao Cao's next move.

"hiss……"

A series of gasps were heard, and everyone looked at each other, with expressions of shock that were difficult to conceal.

"Duke Wei is actually rebelling. He actually wants to be the emperor himself! He even resorts to trickery like calling a horse a deer. What should we do?" Some people were shaking with cold sweat, shouting in their hearts that this was too crazy.

Cao Pi stood in the crowd with his mouth slightly open, and was about to ask his father if he had a headache.

At this moment, the story of Zhao Gao during the Qin Dynasty calling a deer a horse suddenly flashed through his mind.

Instantly, he was delighted and thought to himself: "Haha, it seems that my father has finally come to his senses! This is clearly to overthrow the current Han Dynasty and establish the Cao Wei Empire that belongs to our Cao family!"

Thinking of this, Cao Pi became more and more excited. He swore in his heart: "Don't worry, father. I will keep a close eye on them for you. If anyone dares to disobey your wishes, I will definitely write them down one by one and will not let any of them go!"

At the same time, many ministers present also used their brains to think about countermeasures quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, most people had made a decision in their hearts.

You know, although Boss Cao still holds the title of court minister on the surface, in fact the power he holds is comparable to that of the emperor.

Whether it was military and national affairs concerning the life and death of the country, or other complicated matters, almost all decision-making power was in the hands of Cao Cao alone.

What about the extremely miserable little emperor Liu Xie?
He is nothing more than a puppet with only a nominal title but no real power.

He could only watch helplessly as his throne was usurped by others.

As the saying goes, "He who knows the current situation is a hero!" Everyone in the court knew clearly that only by following Boss Cao closely and obeying his orders wholeheartedly could they enjoy a happy and carefree life.

Suddenly, these ministers had an idea in their minds.

We must cooperate with Boss Cao to perform this play well.

Then, several loud and deafening shouts were heard: "I pay my respects to Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu!"

The shout was like thunder that pierced the sky, and its echo lingered in the air for a long time.

Along with the shouts, most of the court officials who had been standing upright suddenly bent down in unison, as if they had rehearsed countless times beforehand, and bowed deeply and respectfully toward where Emperor Jing of Han was.

For these ministers, it no longer matters who sits on the throne that symbolizes supreme power.

In their eyes, as long as Boss Cao determines that someone can be the emperor, then this person is worthy of the title of emperor.

Although the middle-aged man on the stage is now sitting on the dragon throne.

It's nothing more than a temporary transitional role.

Perhaps one day when the time is ripe, Boss Cao will personally ascend the coveted throne and become the ruler of the world.

Such uniform, loud and pleasant sounds of worship made Cao Cao, who was performing the ceremony, tremble all over and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Others can think of it.

Cao Cao could also think of it.

This guy thinks he is Zhao Gao.

Does Zhao Gao like married women?
The main features are all different, how can they be connected together?

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Fuck, why didn't you guys be so smart before? If you want me to die soon, just say so. Can't you see how respectful and pious my expression is.

Emperor Jing of Han, sitting on the magnificent and exquisitely carved dragon throne, had a face as cold as ice. His deep and sharp eyes stared expressionlessly at the farce that was taking place in the audience.

Emperor Jing of Han frowned more and more, and the anger in his heart continued to rise. His blood pressure, which was already a little high, soared rapidly at this moment.

Before, the emperor held a party.

Zheng Ge of the Qin Dynasty would often show his famous "pointing to a deer and calling it a horse" trick to everyone in a unique way, and there were even many unexpected derivative versions.

However, what Emperor Jing of Han never expected was that today he had the honor of witnessing a Han version of "calling a deer a horse"!
Time flies, spanning hundreds of years, from his own dynasty to the turbulent era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Emperor Jing of Han didn't think that anyone would recognize him.

Why did these people kneel down and worship me without even asking any questions?
There is no doubt that all this must be related to Cao Cao, who was omnipotent in the court!
If Cao Cao had not saluted, I'm afraid those high-ranking ministers in the audience would have shouted in unison, "Come on! Drag this lunatic out and behead him in public!"

Emperor Wu of Han narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like two cold rays of light, coldly scanning the court in front of him which seemed calm but was actually undercurrents.

I knew very well in my heart what caused such a strange scene.

An indescribable feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.

The Han Dynasty, which was once so powerful, gradually declined and ended in such a chaotic situation...

The only thing that can make people feel a little comforted is at this moment.

There were still a few people standing straight in their original places, like wooden sculptures and clay statues, without moving an inch. They did not follow the crowd and pay homage to Emperor Jing of Han with Cao Cao, but stared at Cao Cao with righteous indignation, and kept scolding him: "Cao thief, are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne?"

"I never thought that the Duke of Wei, who always claimed to be a loyal minister, would dare to stage a farce of calling a horse a deer today!"

"Cao thief, I swear that I will never coexist with you in this life!"

"Humph, Cao thief, even if you only want to ascend the throne yourself, you shouldn't fool everyone like this. You should know that Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu have passed away many years ago. Even if you find someone to pretend to be you, you should make it more realistic! Aren't you treating everyone in the world as fools when you have so many flaws like this?"

Faced with this situation, Cao Cao felt extremely depressed.

Originally, he just came to pay a visit to Emperor Jing of Han with sincerity, but he never expected that it would lead to the current situation.

Everything was completely beyond his expectations and was definitely not his intention, but now he has to bear the blame no matter what.

In a panic, Cao Cao hurriedly bowed to Emperor Jing of Han and eagerly explained: "Your Majesty is very perceptive. I am really wronged! I am loyal to the Han Dynasty. This heart is witnessed by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth!"

Just as everyone was talking, Liu Xie, who had been silent all the time, slowly stood up.

With a solemn expression, he shouted loudly to the ministers in the hall: "My dear ministers! What Duke Wei said just now is true. These two are indeed the late Emperor Xiaojing and the late Emperor Xiaowu of our Han Dynasty!"

Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

He thought to himself, "What kind of tricks did Cao Cao use to manipulate the little emperor to this extent? Could it be that he has really turned him into a fool as the rumors say? If so, then changing the dynasty will probably become even easier."

Liu Xie looked at the ministers who were all showing doubt, and his face suddenly turned red with anxiety, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He pointed at Zhu Ming and shouted, "If you still don't believe me, you can ask this elder brother Zhu. He has special skills and can travel freely between dynasties! These two ancestors were brought back by elder brother Zhu from two or three hundred years ago!"

Liu Xie's words, eager to prove himself, not only failed to dispel everyone's doubts, but made them feel that the matter was even more absurd.

In the eyes of these ministers, the so-called free travel between dynasties was simply like a fairy tale, complete nonsense and something that would never happen.

Zhu Ming smiled slightly: "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this place will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes in the near future."

Although Emperor Jing of Han was angry, he also understood that it would be futile to make these people believe that his true identity was Emperor Jing of Han with just a few words, unless they experienced it themselves.

"Forget it, Cao Cao, you should tell me the situation here first."

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Han Dynasty is not very good now. There are several rebel groups around us who harass us from time to time."

Cao Cao hurriedly explained the situation here.

After listening to this, Emperor Jing of Han had a general idea in his mind.

"Xiao Zhu, I'll have to trouble you to go and bring some soldiers to cover the map. Otherwise, if we attack bit by bit, we may not be able to stay that long. The baggage consumption on the road is also a huge gold-eating beast."

"No problem, just leave it to me!" Zhu Ming said confidently, waving his arms violently.

In an instant, the void was torn apart like a fragile piece of paper.

Then, a deep and dark passage slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

This mysterious scene left the ministers around dumbfounded, and they all showed panic on their faces.

They stared at the passage with their eyes wide open, pointed at it with trembling fingers, opened their mouths wide, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

A shocking scene happened - Zhu Ming's figure flashed and disappeared in the court in an instant, as if he had never appeared.

This sudden change made the ministers present look at each other in confusion, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

Some people even began to wonder if they had accidentally ingested some strange substance that could cause hallucinations.

At the same time, Zhu Di of Wan Dynasty was training his soldiers.

He had an upright posture, a dignified bearing, and commanded with confidence, and he trained the soldiers in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, he saw Zhu Ming hurrying over from the corner of his eye. A bright smile immediately broke out on his face, and he quickly walked forward to greet him: "Xiao Zhu, why are you in such a hurry to come here today?"

Zhu Ming smiled slightly and responded softly: "It's not urgent, I just heard that someone from the Han side came to visit."

"Oh? If this is true, it's really a good thing." Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

However, Zhu Ming's next words made his expression change slightly: "The person who came this time is Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie."

"What? It's him! The last emperor of the Han Dynasty who was a puppet for decades..." Zhu Di had a deep understanding of emperors of all dynasties and naturally knew the life and experience of Liu Xie.

Hearing this name at this moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Yes, it's him. As you know, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was quite chaotic, and many heroes emerged. It's enough to write a book about him."

Zhu Di immediately perked up: "Haha, you are here to borrow troops, right?"

Zhu Ming said: "Yes, we are short of some soldiers who can run around the map. After all, running around the map to fight can save a lot of time and money."

"It's easy to talk about."

Zhu Di made arrangements immediately.

An hour passed.

Tens of thousands of scouts gathered together.

These are all good at running maps.

The map has been used by more than a dozen emperors in several dynasties.

Zhu Di would never miss a chance to fight a war.

The space-time channel is opened.

The imperial city of Xudu.

It’s still the same place as before.

Zhu Ming arrived here with tens of thousands of soldiers. (End of this chapter)
