The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 506 Volume I will take care of your wife
"Ming Gong..."

Guo Jia comforted him from the side.

"Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji are both world-renowned doctors."

"When they say this kind of treatment, it can't be a joke."

“Although it’s very risky, it’s worth a try.”

Guo Jia pursed his lips and finally expressed how he felt when the emperor forced him to take the Five-Stone Powder that day.

"I thought at that time that it would be better to just die!"

"But then I thought, if I continue to rely on Wushisan to prolong my life, I will just be a sickly person. What great things can I achieve?"

"It's the same now, my lord... Do you think that with the occasional headache, you are really capable of continuing to fight in the Western Regions?"

"Also, will the emperor really allow you to go to the Western Regions with your sick body?"

Guo Jia was also serious: "The emperor wants you to contribute to the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty and to fight for the Han Dynasty, not to take your life!"

"If you can't go to the Western Regions to fight, now that the Han Dynasty has pacified all four directions, even if there is a war with Jiangdong in the future, it will definitely not be your turn to fight. You will most likely end your life on this bed. Is this really what you want?"

"..."

"well said!"

Cao Cao was still in deep thought when a voice suddenly came from behind.

Everyone's attention was drawn over there.

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing didn't know who he was, but the others hurriedly bowed when they saw him: "Greetings to the Emperor! Greetings to Secretary Jia!"

It was Liu Xie and Jia Xu.

Upon hearing that Zhang Zhongjing had also arrived in Chang'an, Liu Xie finally came out of the palace and visited Cao Cao.

"Cao Qing, Guo Fengxiao is right."

Liu Xie immediately admitted the matter.

"If you are like this now, I will never let you go to the Western Regions and bring shame to the Han Dynasty."

"I don't want to see the Han generals who conquer the West run to the Western Regions, only to fall off their horses without even fighting a battle, or be defeated by some unknown person, thus bringing shame to the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xie did not scare Cao Cao.

The Han people today lack everything, but they don’t lack talents!
Each of the Twelve Pillars of the Han Dynasty is qualified to rule a region independently and maintain his position firmly in the Western Regions.

If Cao Cao was really troubled by illness, Liu Xie would never have entrusted such an important matter to Cao Cao!
……

At this moment, Cao Cao's mind was filled with the six words "General of the Han Dynasty's Western Expedition" that the emperor had just said.

This was the first time that the emperor promised this official position in front of Cao Cao!
General Zhengxi...

My childhood dream was just one step away, but I was unable to cross the gap due to poor health.

Cao Cao just thought it was ridiculous.

In the past, he had thought of countless factors that would hinder him from realizing his dream, but he had never thought that today he would be defeated by his own body...

Cao Cao looked outside at this moment and suddenly asked, "Has Gongtai come yet?"

Zhang Zhongjing, who was found by Chen Gong, shook his head.

"Chen Gongtai said that all he could do was to help General Cao find a doctor."

"The rest of the matter of life and death depends on General Cao's luck... If he can survive, we will meet again in the future. If not, then he will also offer sacrifices to General Cao every Qingming and Cold Food Festival at Chen Gongtai."

Cao Cao remained silent for a long time.

"what!"

But after a moment, Cao Cao laughed again.

"Between life and death, how can there be such great terror?"

"For so many years, we have come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Are you still afraid of your little medical skills?"

"Just think of it as being shot in the head on the battlefield and needing medical treatment!"

Cao Cao finally made a decision.

I would rather die than live in disgrace in this world!

I have finally made it this far, how can I fall down now?
He could have surpassed Liu Bei, could have seen Chen Gongtai again, could have gone to the Western Regions...

Even after death, Cao Cao still hoped that the four big characters "General Zheng Xi" would be engraved on his tombstone!
"it is good!"

When Liu Xie heard Cao Cao agreed to the operation, he also said something to him:

"If you are ill, I will take care of your wife and children!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked again!
Although the emperor provided generous compensation to the fallen soldiers, this was the first time I heard the emperor say, "I will take care of your wife and children!"
When Cao Cao heard the emperor's promise, he also got off the bed and fell down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I, Cao Cao, thank you!"

……

When Cao Jie saw that his father agreed to the surgery, he felt both worried and happy.

"Brother Zihuan, don't worry."

From then on, Cao Pi's brows were furrowed.

Upon seeing this, Cao Jie comforted his brother, fearing that Cao Pi would hurt himself because of his worry.

"No."

Cao Pi shook his head solemnly.

"Little sister, I am thinking about something."

"whats the matter?"

"Your Majesty just said that your Majesty will provide for my father's wife. So can I call your Majesty dad in the future?"

"..."

"Brother."

"Hmm?" "Why is it you who should be the one to have your skull opened?"

"..."

Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and Cao Jie entered preparation.

Because of the theory of fine poison, the first thing to do is to steam the utensils in boiling water, and no other outsiders are allowed to enter.

Even Emperor Liu Xie was considered an outsider at this moment and retreated obediently... When the news of such behavior spread, it caused an uproar again.

After all, since ancient times, all under heaven belongs to the king, and it has always been the common people who give way to the emperor. How could the emperor give way to the common people?
Just because of this action of the emperor, it once again caused an academic uproar, and the new theory born from "Lunheng" gradually took shape.

However, Liu Xie ignored these influences and went straight to sit next to Xun Yu.

When Xun Yu saw the emperor, he also turned his head away arrogantly...

"Xun Yu, why do you call yourself Wenruo? Just call yourself Juelu!"

Liu Xie made a few jokes but didn't care.

"Your Majesty, why can't you understand that establishing states is a matter that shakes the foundation of the country?"

"Your Majesty, do you really not care about the Han Dynasty that you revived?"

Xun Yu's tone was filled with grievance.

After all, he always felt that the emperor's behavior was not at all fair to the efforts of him and his officials.

The emperor is trying hard to destroy something that everyone is trying hard to protect... Xun Yu really cannot understand this kind of behavior!
"Wen Ruo, you are wrong."

Liu Xie corrected Xun Yu's mistakes.

"It's not the Han Dynasty that I revived."

"It's the Grand Master, it's Fengxian, it's Wenhe, it's you, it's the Emperor's uncle, it's the Chief of the Imperial Clan, it's the great Han people who are reviving the country."

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I am not that capable of reviving the Han Dynasty on my own."

Xun Yu's face turned pale, as if he was saying: Is this the time to talk about this?
Liu Xie also knew that it was not possible to gain the approval of a pragmatic man like Xun Yu with firm beliefs simply by talking.

Just like when Xun Yu came to Guanzhong.

It was not because anyone persuaded him to come, but because everyone in Guanzhong was united at that time, from the emperor to the common people, everyone was resisting the natural disaster. Even Master Dong began to promulgate benevolent policies, which made Xun Yu truly see the dawn of the Han Dynasty's revival. Only then did Xun Yu embark on the road to Guanzhong to assist the emperor and begin to support the Han Dynasty.

The same is true now.

If Xun Yu was not given a glimmer of hope and made to realize that this path was ultimately the right one, he would probably really fight the emperor to the end.

"Wen Ruo, let me ask you, if Meng De's headache is not in Chang'an, can it be cured?"

Xun Yu didn't know what the emperor meant, but as long as he didn't talk about establishing a state, Xun Yu wouldn't be so rigid.

"If Meng De is lucky, he may meet Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing outside, and they may be able to cure him."

But Liu Xie soon laughed: "Everyone says that Xun Lingjun is very good at dealing with people, but I didn't expect that he could be so one-sided."

Xun Yu was puzzled: "How can I be one-sided?"

"Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are not actually the most important factors in treating Meng De's headache."

"What really matters is Cao Jie's discovery of the method of moving qi and blood, the verification of the theory of Xi Gu, the invention of Kong Ming's mirror, and the resurrection of the doctrine of Lun Heng."

"These are not available outside of Chang'an."

Liu Xie then asked Xun Yu: "Does Wen Ruo know how the imperial court conquered Xiangping City during this expedition to Liaodong?"

"I have read the report, which says that Your Majesty summoned alchemists in Qingzhou and used the method of sulfur to reduce fire to develop gunpowder, which was used to blow up the city wall."

Xun Yu obviously did not realize the true power of gunpowder.

but it does not matter.

What Liu Xie wanted to talk about was not gunpowder.

"Wen Ruo, do you think these things will appear in the wilderness?"

Xun Yu pondered: "No."

A wild place.

He had to use all his energy to study stuttering, so how could he have the time to think about "Lun Heng", make Kongming mirror, or study fine poison and gunpowder?

"Strong trunk, weak branches."

There was a hint of disdain on Liu Xie's face when he read out these two words.

"That's true, but in every dynasty, people only care about the latter and not the former."

"Weak branches are like drinking poison to quench thirst, and they will only lead to poverty and weakness."

"Only by being strong can we not be afraid of the challenges from the branches and leaves on all sides, and allow them to grow wildly towards the four barbarians and the eight wildernesses!"

Xun Yu was dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, you can't guarantee that you will always be strong!"

"I can!"

"..."

Xun Yu didn't know what to say.

He didn't even know whether the emperor was confident or conceited.

Always stay strong... This is something that Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong failed to do!
As a last resort, starting from the time of Emperor Wu, all other schools of thought were abolished, Confucianism was the only one respected, and the practice of "weakening the branches" was also started.

Does the Son of Heaven have the confidence to surpass the combined strength of such holy emperors as Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong?
"Wen Ruo can just wait and see."

Liu Xie stopped talking about this topic for the time being and pointed at the busy Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and asked: "Wen Ruo thinks, is it better to have more or fewer doctors like this?"

"Of course more is better!"

There are always more doctors who can bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh!
"What if I could find a way to allow hundreds or even thousands of such doctors to settle here?"

"Not only doctors, but also the best talents in the world are gathered in Chang'an?"

"In that case, can't I "force" the Han Dynasty to the end?"
