Chapter 114 Avoiding Disaster in Beihai

Cao Cao had not decided to welcome Liu Xie to Xu County from the beginning. Zhong Ping heard from his father that Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Zhang Xi both thought that they should stop at Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, and wait for the court to be stable before returning.

Return east to Luoyang.

However, Dong Zhao, the chief advisor, advised him that the emperor was tired from traveling and was also frightened by Li Jue's rebellion. If he did not nurse himself back to health in time, he would become depressed and yin-yang-yang-yang would be weak, and the five internal organs would be out of balance, which would be detrimental to the dragon body.

Also observe the celestial phenomena, and you will see that in the place where the earth rises in Yunxudu, where water and wood meet, and the virtue of fire is cultivated, it is the place where the five elements flourish. If the emperor can stay there for a long time, he will be able to secure his destiny.

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked for an order to change Xu County into Xudu. Taking advantage of Xudu's proximity to Luyang, the city walls, palaces, and sufficient money, food and people's goods, he formally welcomed the emperor into Xudu.

Liu Xie was worried. He heard that Zongzheng and Liu Ai said that the Han Dynasty used fire as the king, and the capital of Xu belonged to the earth. In place of the fire, the earth was replaced by earth. If the capital was moved to Xu County, could it be the end of the Han Dynasty?

However, at this time, it was in the hands of Cao Cao. This man had just recovered millions of Yellow Turbans for his own use. At a time when the army and horses were strong, the officials were afraid of his power and did not dare to say anything.

Liu Xie knew that he was weak and not at home, so he had no choice but to agree to Cao Cao's request. After Cao Cao left, he was in trouble all by himself. Dong Cheng knew that Liu Xie's problem was that he could not hold the troops and horses in his hands and lacked the strength to take power, so

Pretending to mention Zhongping casually.

"The Shaofu is in the palm of the hand and controls all things, including clothes, treasures, goods and food. It does not have the right to command the army. Since Zhongping has inherited the position of Shaofu, he cannot privately transport troops and horses, let alone live in Cao Yanzhou's house and act as subordinates.

The responsibility of officials."

Liu Xie knew that Dong Cheng's words were somewhat personal and he was deliberately targeting Zhong Ping.

However, looking back on Zhongping's past in Dongjun, he indeed failed to maintain good relations with officials and offered advice to Cao Cao many times.

For those who don’t know, they might think that Zhong Ping is Cao Cao’s counselor.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie was a little unhappy. It was not unclear to him how Zhongping treated him.

In his opinion, Zhongping should treat him wholeheartedly as before.

In this way, he turned around and offered advice to others, even if he had no intention of serving as another master, Liu Xie always felt that Zhongping seemed to be no longer pure.

Liu Xie didn't show anything strange at this time, as if he didn't take Dong Cheng's proposal to heart. However, that night he privately ordered Zhong Ji to enter the palace.

On the second day, Zhong Ping went to the court to plead guilty to Liu Xie for correcting the imperial edict and handed over all his troops. Liu Xie, perhaps to compensate, gave Zhong Ping the title of Marquis of Guannei and transferred him to Liu Xie.

The leader then placed these soldiers and horses in Dong Cheng's hands.

Zhong Ping's mood is complicated. So far, he is still working for nothing. He doesn't understand why Liu Xie can't just give him a reward. This sounds good to the Marquis of Guannei, but where is he going to receive the food?

What about collecting annual rent?

"Father……"

Zhongping has moved out of Cao's mansion, but the mansion he lives in now is still settled by Cao Cao.

After the court, Zhongping lazily followed Zhongji. Normally, he would not show his emotions like this, but this was in front of his father, and Zhongping didn't have so many scruples.

"Hu'er is reluctant to part with the soldiers and horses in his hands?" Zhongji touched Zhongping's head, "When I asked you to hold back your power, you didn't listen to a single word."

Zhong Ping felt aggrieved: "I want to hide my strength and bide my time, but the conditions don't allow it."

"Father, you don't know how worried I am about you. Have Zhang Ji and Guo Si ever made things difficult for my father in the court?"

Zhong Ping actually wanted to ask Zhong Ji if he had any conflicts with Dong Cheng or if he had a fight with someone again, but he knew that his father would not be able to save face and tell him the truth, so he made up his mind to secretly go to Xun You to ask more carefully.

.

Zhong Ping just didn't mention these two people. As soon as these two names were mentioned, Zhong Ji immediately became confused and angrily said: "It's just two Xiliang barbarians, what can I do? As a minister, I can't bully the emperor."

Go ahead, it’s really worthy of death! It’s a pity that I don’t have the sword in my hand, otherwise..."

As expected of you, dad.

Zhong Ping held his forehead, and he seemed to realize who he had inherited his recklessness from.

"Father, father, calm down."

Well, there’s no need to go to Uncle Xun. With how skilled I am in handling swords, I’m afraid I can’t compete with others... Dad, if you can live to this day, I wonder if I have to give Uncle Xun a blow.

Zhong Ji was hugged by Zhong Ping, and it took him a while to calm down. He gently stroked his beard and said quite optimistically, "Don't worry, Tiger. I am good at cultivating Haoran's righteousness. These little ones don't dare to embarrass me."

Zhongping:……

He was thinking, does his father really think that he was not sacked next time because he was upright?

It seemed that I suddenly understood why I saw Uncle Xun with patches on his clothes and dark circles around his eyes today.

"Dad, bah, father, let's just say, how much of this awe-inspiring aura have you raised?"

"Not many, only about ten a day..."

Zengji wisely closed his mouth.

The plains were split open.

Fortunately, he took the initiative to admit his crime and fought early.

Zhongping looked away, thinking that nothing could shake his strong heart anymore.

Then he found out that his father planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with Cao Cao.

Zhongping was silent.

Tanehira took a deep breath.

"Uncle, did my father suffer any stimulation after I left?"

Zhong Ping spent a lot of time convincing his father to just leave it alone, and he immediately climbed over the wall and went to Xun You's house next door, his expression extremely serious.

Xun You showed a tired smile: Ah, you just know...

no.

"Bo Heng, this morning the emperor used Cao Gong's jade to record the affairs of the minister. Does Bo Heng really not know the profound meaning of it?"

The "false festival ax" represents the emperor's travels. Any envoy who holds the festival represents the emperor's personal visit, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and can exercise corresponding powers.

If a military general uses a "false sword", he does not need to ask for instructions from the left or report to the right during wartime. He can directly kill the officers in his army who violate military orders.

"Bo Heng, I know that Duke Cao treats you kindly, but Bo Heng must not be confused about this matter."

Xun You was sitting at attention. It stands to reason that since Xun Yu was a counselor under Cao Cao, he, as a nephew, should also show his kindness to Cao Cao. Seeing Zhong Ping's wavering look, he shouldn't point it out directly.

"Your father's character is a bit rigid after all. It's not that he doesn't know how to adapt and knows the benefits of flattery, but he always accepts death. If one day he imitates Boyi Shuqi and doesn't eat Zhousu, I won't think so.

strangeness."

Zhong Ping was a little helpless. He naturally knew what kind of person his father was, and his attitude towards Liu Xie was largely influenced by Zhong Ji.

He just couldn't figure out why Cao Cao, who always seemed to be a kind uncle in front of him, suddenly showed his sharp teeth and fangs.

Could it be that the gathered yellow scarves fueled his lust for power?

Zhongping didn't know. He felt that Cao Cao had misjudged him and he didn't have the so-called ability to recognize people.

"From what I can see, Bo Heng, when Your Majesty first arrived in Xudu, you were caught between Duke Cao and His Majesty. If you make a mistake for a moment, you will be in a situation that will never be recovered. You should avoid it if you can."

Xun You sighed. In his opinion, Zhongping was really unlucky. He happened to be living in Dongjun and received favors from Cao Cao. He bore Cao Cao's brand to some extent, but Zhongping always behaved like a solitary minister in the court.

If there is a discord (jǔ yǔ) between Liu and Cao Cao, Zhongping will be the first to bear the brunt.

Today Zhongping handed over the military power to Liu Xie, which invisibly harmed Cao Cao.

This stupid kid probably didn't realize it at all.

Zhong Ping knew that Xun You had his own plans, and he thought that Cao Cao and Liu Xie should have a honeymoon period, so they wouldn't have to fight each other now, right?

"Ping knows, I heard that Kong Beihai was trapped by the Yellow Turbans. He was very worried and sent an envoy to ask for help. Is this true?"

Xun You was stunned. He was a little confused as to how Yu Zhongping got the news so quickly. He was just trying to persuade Zhongping to take the matter and avoid the limelight.

He smiled with great relief. It seemed that his nephew was not ignorant of politics.

Then came the heartache.

Zhong Ji, how can you be so virtuous and capable as to have such a good son?

The next chapter of Uncle Emperor will be out soon (˙˙)

Zhang Ji still has a role to play ()
