Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Later, when Lu Yan wanted to form a special team, Qu Chi took the initiative to sign up, and finally became the first batch of shadow guards, and was named Yanfeng by Lu Yan.

Yan Feng is capable of writing and martial arts, and he is loyal. Under the intensive training of Lu Yan later, he has now become the number one figure in the shadow guard.

The shadow camps are ranked in order of A, B, C, D, E, and A is the strongest. The leader is also the captain, and naturally he is the most outstanding figure among all the shadow guards.

The task of monitoring the emperor and certain ministers has always been in charge of the Yingzi Jiaying.

At least so far, Guo Jia and Lu Yan are very satisfied with the performance of Qu Chiying Zi Jiaying.

......

In fact, if Liu Xie'an became an emperor quietly, he might still see the day when the world returns to the great man.

But he was unwilling to be lonely, and the matter of clothes and belts finally appeared.

just one day later,

The shadow guard Jiawu, who was placed around the emperor, discovered the imperial edict written in blood by the emperor.

It was sewn into a delicate jade belt by Concubine Dong Gui, and the emperor was going to give this jade belt to Dong Cheng when he worshiped the ancestors two days later.

High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Liu Xie thought he was going to hunt Cao Cao,

Little did he know that Cao Cao, a confused little lamb, was the beast that chose to devour in the end!

167 chapter

Liu Bei has been enjoying farming at home recently, as if he almost forgot the time.

Seeing the eldest brother "not doing his job properly", this made Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others very anxious.

However, Liu Bei has already sensed the turbulent undercurrent under Xuchang's calm, so no matter who came to persuade him, he ignored him, as if he vowed to carry out the great cause of farming to the end!

Liu Bei is farming here.

On the other hand, the shadow guards had already reported to Lu Yan and Guo Jia that Liu Bei had a secret meeting with the emperor at night, and that the emperor conspired with Concubine Dong Guifei the next day.

This is a big matter, Lu Yan and Guo Jia did not dare to delay, and joined hands to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao had never encountered Guo Jia and Lu Yan at the same time before, and when he saw them, Cao Cao had a premonition, "Something big is about to happen!"

Lu Yan and Guo Jia revealed everything that Yingwei Jiaziying had discovered. Although Cao Cao had already guessed, when he got the exact answer, he still felt an unprecedented sense of loss and anger.

He even suddenly had a thought in his mind, "What is Cao's persistence for more than ten years?"

"How many times did you escape from death to get today!

I, Cao Mengde, ask myself the same loyalty to the great man, to the emperor, and to the imperial court.

But in the end, he actually got such a result of "manipulating the thief, gaining power and oppressing the father"?hehe! "

The belief and support in Cao Cao's heart collapsed at this moment!He began to doubt himself.

Historically, Cheng Yu and others persuaded Cao Cao to practice the way of kingship when his faith collapsed. It was from this moment that Cao Cao really began to become a powerful minister and a generation of traitors.

But no matter how authoritarian Cao Cao was, at least until his death, he did not cross the red line and proclaim himself emperor.

Seeing Cao Cao's blank face, Lu Yan couldn't hide the pain in his eyes...

He knew that at this moment, Lao Cao was like a drowning man, as long as someone gave him a life-saving straw, he would desperately grab it.Therefore, the best time for Cao Cao to reshape his outlook on life and values ​​has arrived!

"Cao Gong, do you still remember what Zeng Jiyan said?"

Cao Cao's eyes seemed a little empty, but fortunately, his mind was still clear, "Sir, you said a lot, and I also remember a lot... But I don't know, which sentence are you referring to?"

"Eh..." Lu Yan was a little embarrassed, and then explained: "Yan once said that the world of the Han Dynasty is the world of the people of the Han Dynasty, not the world of the Liu family."

"Yes, I remember...but the big man was established by Gaozu..."

"I always remember the merits of the great ancestors, but for hundreds of years, the prosperity and decline of the great Han Dynasty are all the result of the joint management of the people of the world."

Guo Jia sat alone in the corner, drinking some wine while listening to the conversation between Lu Yan and Cao Cao.

"Sir, what exactly do you want to say to Cao..." Cao Cao's eyes became even more bewildered.

"As long as the people still regard themselves as Han people, the great Han will be able to live forever."

"Call yourself a Han Chinese? The country is immortal?" Cao Cao finally focused his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something, and asked Lu Yan with some anticipation and timidity, "Is there anyone in the future who will call himself a Han Chinese?"

Although Guo Jia didn't look up, the still movement of his hands showed that he was also waiting for Lu Yan's answer.

Lu Yan cupped his hands, facing the world, and replied with a solemn expression: "Before the Han Dynasty, the people regarded themselves as Huaxia..."

The Huaxia nationality is the earliest and most recognized ethnic title of the Chinese nation. Huaxia is also called "Xia" and "Zhuxia".

The Han nationality we are talking about now is not actually changing the Huaxia nationality to the Han nationality, but because of the glory of the Han Dynasty, Han has become an honorary title for the Huaxia nationality, which continues to this day.

After pausing for a moment, Lu Yan continued:

"Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and the world was unified. So far, the sons and daughters of China are one family!"

"Before the Han Dynasty, our people usually called themselves the descendants of Huaxia; since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, our family has been named after this, and it will never change forever.

After the Han Dynasty, our family will use the Han Dynasty to replace Xia!

It is all because the big man has laid the foundation of the dignity of our family, giving our family the confidence to stand proudly in the future, and regard the people of the big man as glory!

From then on, a country name has become an eternal symbol! "

"Respect Han as glory?!" Cao Cao stared wide-eyed, while Guo Jia muttered to himself.

Lu Yan's words sounded like a torrent, deafening Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

Lu Yan didn't wait for Cao Cao to recover, he continued to instill ideas in Cao Cao: "If the Han people survive, the Han Zuo will not perish!"

"History is destined to usher in countless emperors and kingdoms, and countless emperors and kingdoms will eventually be buried in the dust of history.

But no matter how difficult the time is, the Han people can still rise again, and Huaxia can still return to the top! "Lu Yan didn't say this, but his eyes were firmer than ever.

"If the Han people survive, the Han Zuo will not perish..."

Guo Jia stood up, raised the wine bowl with his right hand, and said to Cao Cao and Lu Yan: "Han Zuo is immortal, Huaxia is eternal! Do it!"

Lu Yan walked over, picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Cao Cao and himself, and said, "The people are the foundation and inheritance of a country. As long as the people of the Han family are around, who is the emperor and who is the king is really so important." ?"

No matter what dynasty it will be in the future, the Han has solidified into a nation, and people will always remember that powerful era that brought them dignity and glory.

After receiving the wine that Lu Yan handed him, Cao Cao's eyes were only clear at the moment, and he was no longer confused before, "Is this why you put the people of the Han Dynasty first?"

Having said so much, Lu Yan actually wanted to instill a point of view into Cao Cao, that is, the glory of the great man is not only on Liu, but on this group of people who are tenacious and never surrender.The Great Han Tianwei has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the deepest imprint in the hearts of the people. The imprint of the nation will be passed down infinitely along with blood and knowledge.

If you, Cao Cao, are loyal to the great Han and the common people, even if you overthrow the Liu family regime, you can replace Liu Han as Cao Han.

Cao Cao slowly drank the wine in the wine bowl, his arms trembled a little...

There is a saying in Jiang Shang's "Six Secret Teachings": "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the world; those who are good at the benefits of the world will lose the world."

Xunzi said: "Heaven created people for the people, not for the ruler; Heaven established the ruler for the people. Therefore, the ancients established a country by listing lands, not just to honor the princes; ranking official positions and assigning titles and salaries, not just to respect the great officials."

Mencius said: "The people are the most important, the ruler is the least, and the community is second."

The ancient sages have already made the importance of the people very clear. It was only in order to strengthen and consolidate their own rule that the later emperors added a lot of misleading to the world.

Therefore, Lu Yan's words have a basis, and Cao Cao's self-ideological struggle also has a strong backing.

After a long time, Cao Cao sighed and said, "Sir, Cao Mou woke up like a dream! From now on, Cao Mou will be loyal to the Han people, not just the Liu family!"

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Lu Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Since Mr. Cao has already made a choice, let's talk about the clothes belt edict again!"

"..."

Chapter 168 will count

Dizziness and brain swelling, eyes swollen and sore, another night of restless sleep.

After Dong Cheng barely supported his body and got up, he couldn't help showing a wry smile, "These two days are like years!"

When will the edict of the Son of Heaven come and how will it come?This is what Dong Cheng is most worried and nervous about.

"Today the Son of Heaven pays homage to the ancestors, I should go to the Ancestral Temple as soon as possible..."

Although he was full of worries, there were still important things to do today, so Dong Cheng had to get up early and prepare to go out in his best clothes.

The emperor became increasingly jealous of Cao Cao.After Liu Bei entered Xuchang, the emperor did not hesitate to use his royal status to win over Liu Bei. His precautions against Cao Cao can almost be said to be obvious.

The emperor acted like this, in the final analysis, he was still unwilling to be a puppet again.

In his eyes, whether it was Dong Zhuo and Li Jue who were cruel to him in every possible way, or Cao Cao who was much gentler and almost obeyed, they were nothing more than a generation of powerful officials.

With Cao Cao's current situation and power, in another ten years, if he wants to, he can replace the Liu family.

In a few decades, even if they don't want to, their offspring will replace them. This is forced by the situation and the trajectory of development.

Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, whether it is Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao in the north, there is actually no essential difference between them.

But looking at the Han Dynasty, any powerful minister will not end well.

There were Huo Guang and Wang Mang before, and Dong Zhuo and Li Jue later. What happened?All of them ended up with a terrible death, or even an extermination of the whole family.So Liu Xie believes that he can still use the hands of others this time to eradicate Cao Cao, a powerful minister!

In Liu Xie's mind, the most reliable people are naturally his own family members, such as Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Yizhou, but these people don't like Liu Xie very much, after all, Liu Xie was supported by Dong Zhuo.

In fact, Liu Xie secretly wrote many letters to Liu Biao and others, but they all disappeared without a word.

In desperation, Liu Xie could only place his expectations on the people around him and Liu Bei, the "uncle emperor" who didn't know the truth or falsehood.

......

Ancestral Temple, inside the Gongchen Pavilion.

After the emperor burned incense, he summoned Dong Cheng.

After Dong Cheng entered, he found that the emperor was observing the portrait, and finally the figure in the middle was Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng bowed and saluted.

Liu Xie turned his back to Dong Zhuo, he really wanted to tell Dong Cheng some unspeakable secret...but he felt that if he really said it, Cao Cao's people might come from a corner Dali rushed out, and hacked him and Dong Cheng to death...

Dong Cheng knew what Emperor Xian wanted to say, but he also knew that the emperor had no chance to speak.

Cao Cao's people were everywhere in the palace, especially when Dong Cheng met with the emperor, there might be many people outside squatting in the corner to eavesdrop.

Emperor Xian Liu Xie has never enjoyed the treatment that matches the emperor since he came to power. Instead, he has to worry about it every day. Although he has been very smart since he was a child, he is only a 16-year-old boy until now.

Under countless tribulations, although Liu Xie has a precocious temperament and has been cultivated to a certain extent, it is really too difficult for him to do big things in the face of the scheming Cao Cao and the cheating Lu Yan.

The emperor with his back turned to Dong Cheng, after pondering for a moment, suddenly asked: "General Che Qi, let me ask you, where did Emperor Gaozu get up? How did he achieve great success?"

Although Dong Cheng was puzzled, he replied without hesitation: "Emperor Gao started from the head of the pavilion at Sishang, killed the White Snake Uprising, destroyed Qin in three years, destroyed Chu in five years, and established the foundation of the Han Dynasty forever."

The Son of Heaven nodded, and then suddenly sighed: "Back then, I fled from Chang'an to Luoyang, all the way was thanks to the escort of the General Chariot and Cavalry."

Hearing this, Dong Cheng cupped his hands and bowed, "I only hate my lack of ability, otherwise I won't trap Your Majesty..."

Dong Cheng didn't dare to say any more, and the emperor seemed to be sure of Dong Cheng's loyalty, finally turned around and said with a smile: "Gaozu has Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and I also have Dong Cheng!"

Dong Cheng panicked, leaned down and said: "I don't have an inch of merit, I dare not be praised by your majesty!"

The Son of Heaven walked towards Dong Cheng, took off the jade belt around his waist, handed it to Dong Cheng, and said: "I have nothing else on my body now... only this jade belt, I never leave it, and I love it very much. Today I So I gave it to the chariot general, and the general wears this belt, and it will be like accompanying me."

"The thing of the Son of Heaven, what can I do for you!" Dong Cheng was shocked, and quickly knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground, not daring to accept it.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand, pulled Dong Cheng up, put the jade belt in his hand, and said slowly: "After Aiqing returns, you can watch carefully, and I hope you will not disappoint me!!"

Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie's expression, and then chewed on the words that seemed to have other meanings, and suddenly he realized something in his heart.

After understanding Liu Xie's intentions, Dong Cheng pretended to evade again, and finally "reluctantly" accepted the jade belt bestowed by the emperor.

After talking a few more words, Dong Cheng got up to say goodbye and prepare to go home.

Before walking out of the gate of Taimiao, Cao Cao suddenly appeared and stopped Dong Cheng.

The moment Dong Cheng saw Cao Cao, his heart skipped half a beat due to sudden shock!

However, he quickly calmed down, bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "I have seen the prime minister!"

Cao Cao nodded, then asked with a smile, "General Cheqi, have you just met the emperor?"

"Yes... the emperor also rewarded the minister with a jade belt."

Dong Cheng confessed honestly, but it's not that he didn't know the special features of this jade belt, he just wanted to use his calmness to dispel Cao Cao's doubts.

Lao Cao looked at Dong Cheng showing the jade belt around his waist, and seeing him pretending to be calm but actually showing off to himself with a guilty conscience, he couldn't help saying happily in his heart: "This old man can memorize everything in it... .and let you continue pretending, hahaha!"
