Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 280 Emperor Liu Xie: Persuading Zhang Sui to stay and assist

When Emperor Liu Xie heard Cao Cao say this, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui glanced at Cao Cao and laughed.

He shook his head.

Yuan Shao, ah, Yuan Shao.

If I were Yuan Shao, what would the Three Kingdoms be?

If Yuan Shao could control the emperor and his ministers today, the Han Dynasty would very likely be under Yuan's control.

Unfortunately, the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the Dragon and the Phoenix.

A good situation was handed over to someone else.

And now, I am just a general under Yuan Shao.

Even if you want to control the emperor, there is no way.

They could only watch Cao Cao take the emperor away.

Facing the emperor's gaze, Zhang Sui said, "Then let's end it!"

Emperor Liu Xie then hurriedly signaled the soldiers to sound the horn.

The melee in the distance suddenly stopped.

Xu Rong and others were still not satisfied with the killing.

Xiahou Yuan and others broke out in cold sweat.

If this continues, they are really afraid of being wiped out by Xu Rong!
Xiahou Yuan looked at the gathering cavalry from afar and swallowed.

absolute!

absolute!

He wanted to form a cavalry of his own to avenge Xu Rong's two humiliations!

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua on the side looked at Zhang Sui with green eyes.

As expected, my brother is extremely powerful.

Whether it was personal bravery or military combat, he suppressed Cao Yan's party and others so much that they could not raise their heads!

Emperor Liu Xie summoned Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan to reward them.

However, both Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan declined directly.

Emperor Liu Xie's face looked extremely ugly.

The reactions of Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan reminded him of the past years when he was held hostage by Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng and others.

Neither Zhang Sui nor Cao Cao paid any attention to Emperor Liu Xie.

Cao Cao consulted Zhang Sui's opinion, and the army marched to Hangu Pass.

Zhang Ji and Yang Feng figured it out.

This Cao Cao is definitely not a loyal minister. He is the second Li Que or Guo Si.

Therefore, both of them found an excuse that they were short of food and grass and wanted to go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to ask Liu Biao and Yuan Shu for food and grass respectively, and then withdrew with their troops.

Neither Cao Cao nor Zhang Sui tried to stop him.

Zhang Sui did not stop him because his purpose was simple: to assist the emperor to Luoyang, and then threaten Cao Cao to ask the emperor for a higher official position on Yuan Shao's behalf.

The departure of Zhang Ji and Yang Feng was like history.

It does not affect him and Yuan Shao.

There is no need to block.

Cao Cao did not stop it because he was worried that Zhang Sui would take action.

Moreover, Zhang Ji and Yang Feng also have a lot of men and horses.

If we really let them follow, they will cause trouble and it will only increase the risk.

When the emperor saw Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others leaving with their men, he became more and more nervous.

For the first time, he made a decision.

He found the father-in-law Dong Cheng!

In the current army, only Cao Cao and Zhang Sui can threaten him.

Although Dong Cheng also forced him.

However, Dong Cheng still had a thousand soldiers.

Dong Cheng's daughter, Concubine Dong, was also his concubine.

Now that he doesn’t believe Dong Cheng, he doesn’t know who to turn to!

After entering Hangu Pass, he sent people to secretly bring Dong Cheng and Zhong Yao over.

Dong Cheng is the father-in-law of the emperor and also has troops.

Zhong Yao was a descendant of the wealthy Zhong family in Yingchuan.

He was previously an aide to Li Jue and Guo Si. Later, he felt that Li Jue and Guo Si had no future, so when Li Jue and Guo Si were chasing the emperor at Hongnong Port, he decisively followed the emperor and served him as the Yellow Gate Minister.

The emperor issued two orders to all the princes to support the country, both of which were suggested by Zhong Yao.

Although there were many twists and turns, the overall goal was achieved.

The two pieces of advice that Zhong Yao gave to the emperor had only one purpose: to get rid of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, find a way to settle down, and then seek power.

At this time, Emperor Liu Xie was sitting at the first seat in the hall, sighing.

When Dong Cheng and Zhong Yao came in, they saw Emperor Liu Xie drinking alone.

Dong Cheng dismissed his attendants and asked, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Liu Xie glanced at the two and said, "I originally thought that once Cao Cao arrived, we would take back the military power, and in the future, use Luoyang as our base to slowly restore the Han Dynasty."

“But you’ve seen it all along the way.”

"Cao Cao is not as simple as we thought."

"The previous military parade was clearly meant to make me restrain myself."

"Now Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others have also left."

"Before, I was able to rely on Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and Cao Cao to resist."

"Now that I don't have it, I am just a puppet."

Dong Cheng and Zhong Yao looked at each other, both feeling a little sad.

Especially Dong Cheng.

He originally thought that as the General of Chariots and Cavalry, the father of Concubine Dong, and with troops at his disposal, he could not intimidate Zhang Sui with Yuan Shao standing behind him, but he would definitely be able to subdue Cao Cao.

He took away Cao Cao's troops and held the emperor hostage. He was also the father-in-law of the emperor. In the future, he could use the emperor to command the princes, and eventually sweep across the world and establish a new dynasty.

But I didn't expect that Cao Cao had become so powerful!

Even so, Dong Cheng still asked, "So your majesty specially summoned us here tonight. What do you want?"

Emperor Liu Xie took a few deep breaths before saying, "I want to persuade Zhang Sui."

"Zhang Sui is young and energetic."

"Besides, Yuan Shao is standing behind him."

"I have also observed that Yuan Shao seems to have a close relationship with the Queen."

"Come to think of it, the Queen's mother is the legitimate daughter of Princess Yang'an."

"Yuan Shao considered himself to be a descendant of the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, and the Yuan family was considered to be old officials."

"Therefore, I wonder if I can persuade Zhang Sui through the Queen and give him a high position and generous salary so that he will leave Yuan Shao and submit to me?"

Dong Cheng and Zhong Yao looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dong Cheng was simply speechless.

He thought that the emperor had quietly called him over late at night because he wanted to make some wise decision.

But I didn't expect that the emperor had such bizarre ideas!

He also heard from his daughter, Concubine Dong, that the Queen and Zhang Sui seemed to be too close.

But what was it about Zhang Sui that made the queen feel close to him?
It’s simply because Zhang Sui is Yuan Shao’s son-in-law.

Now, the emperor wants to use the queen to make Zhang Sui betray Yuan Shao!
What kind of brain could come up with this plan?

When Emperor Liu Xie saw that Dong Cheng did not say anything, he looked at Zhong Yao and said, "My dear Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhong Yao glanced at Emperor Liu Xie and felt quite complicated.

However, facing the clear gaze of Emperor Liu Xie, Zhong Yao also made up his mind.

He can no longer assist this emperor.

In that case——

Zhong Yao exhaled and said, "I will take the Queen over to lobby."

"If it doesn't work, your majesty shouldn't feel resentful."

Emperor Liu Xie hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, Lord Zhong? Regardless of success or failure, I will only remember your contribution!"

Zhong Yao then stood up and said, "Then please ask the Queen to come over. I will accompany her there."

Emperor Liu Xie then sent someone to call Queen Fu Shou over.

When Queen Fu Shou heard that Emperor Liu Xie actually misunderstood that she had a relationship with Yuan Shao, and wanted her to persuade Zhang Sui to stay and help him pacify the world, Fu Shou was completely stunned.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has seen the emperor's weakness.

The emperor couldn't even protect his own women, and allowed them to be abused by his ministers.

Now, he actually had the nerve to let her lobby Zhang Sui to assist him!
Fu Shou looked at Liu Xie, her heart full of mockery.

This man is really interesting.

She really has to go!
But he did not go to persuade Zhang Sui to stay and assist this man.

Instead, we should persuade Zhang Sui to stay away from this man!
