Chapter 184 Cao Cao: I am not a traitor, I am just a deceived loyal minister of the Han Dynasty
Xun Yu's arrival shocked both Cao Cao and Xu You.
After all, they were discussing private matters such as the authenticity of the emperor and the way out after defeat. At this time, Xun Yu broke the news. The two of them were like a pair of adulterers who were caught in bed. They were all a little panicked.
"Wen, Wen Ruo, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..." Cao Cao was nervous and quickly got up from the couch.
But Xun Yu ignored him at all. He just stared at Xu You angrily and said sternly: "I thought you abandoned the false emperor to join the emperor, but you abandoned darkness and surrendered to the light. I didn't expect you to dare to bewitch Sikong here!"
"Say! What are your intentions!"
He came here after receiving Cao Cao's summons. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived outside the study door, he would hear Xu You's treacherous words? How could he tolerate this!
"Ha! What do I mean?"
Xu You also adjusted his mentality at this time, sneered, and said confidently: "Of course I am thinking about Ah Bao!"
"The emperor of your Xu County is totally fake! If I don't find a way out for Ah Man now, am I going to watch Ah Man being buried with this false emperor in the future?"
"Don't talk nonsense here!" Xun Yu was immediately furious. He stepped forward and grabbed Xu You's collar and said, "Your Majesty in the palace is the orthodox Emperor of the Han Dynasty! The one in Yecheng is the false emperor!"
"You have no king and no father. Do you have any respect for the great man and the emperor in your heart? A traitor like you should be cut to pieces with a thousand swords!"
How could he believe Xu You's lies?
In his opinion, Xu You told these lies and excuses just to persuade Cao Cao to tie up the emperor and surrender to the puppet emperor in Yecheng!
Xu You was not afraid of Xun Yu at all, and pushed him away, with a sarcastic expression on his face, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am a traitor, and you, Xun Yu, are the only one among the great men who are loyal, good, and virtuous ministers!"
"But have you seen the emperor of Yecheng? How can you be sure that the emperor of Xu County is the real one? I have met two emperors, and I am more qualified than you to judge who is real and who is fake!"
"If you have time to get mad at me for being incompetent here, why not go to Yecheng to see the emperor in person? Also ask your brother Xun Chen why he is loyal to the emperor!"
Xu You's words can be described as a sure blow.
Every sentence goes straight to Xun Yu's heart.
Cao Cao on the side twitched his eyes hard after hearing what Xu You said. Is this allowed to be said?
Xun Yu was very loyal to the Han Dynasty.
What if he goes to Yecheng and doesn't come back?
"I think..."
As soon as Cao Cao opened his mouth, he was interrupted.
Xun Yu, who was already a little delirious with anger, said with a livid face:
"Okay! I'm going to Yecheng to meet the false emperor!"
"When I find out what's true and what's false, I'll tell Xun Chen to abandon his secret position and turn to the bright side to rectify the Xun family's legacy! Then I'll come back and kill you!"
Leaving behind these murderous words, Xun Yu was about to leave angrily.
"Wen Ruo!"
Cao Cao was so frightened that he stepped forward to grab Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, you have to calm down! You have to calm down!"
"Ziyuan, please stop saying a few words!"
He was really afraid that Xun Yu would run to Yecheng in anger. If the emperor of Yecheng was true, then Xunyu would definitely stay in Yecheng and serve the emperor with his character. Then he would have suffered a great loss.
"Amao, you actually told me to shut up?"
Xu You looked in disbelief and glanced at Cao Cao with disappointment.
"Come on, come on! After all, I paid by mistake."
He shook his head, stood up and left the study, leaving only a lonely figure behind.
"Ziyuan!"
Cao Cao was very anxious when he saw this, but he was also afraid that Xun Yu would run away if he let go, so he could only watch Xu You leave.
Xun Yu also struggled and said: "Sikong, please let go of me and let me go to Yecheng! I want to take a closer look at how that false emperor compares to the orthodox emperor!"
"Wen Ruo!!"
Cao Cao couldn't bear it any longer. He roared loudly and forced Xun Yu down. He said sadly: "Xu You is just doing it for my own good. Why do you have to argue with him about right and wrong?"
"Besides, if Xu You comes to vote, it will also be of great benefit to the emperor's reputation. If you piss him off, what will the world think?"
Xun Yu heard this and said angrily: "Xu You is a man with evil intentions. He has no king or father, and he is not loyal to the Han Dynasty! How can Sikong listen to such treacherous villains?"
"He just wants to leave a way out and protect himself in the end. He has no loyalty or respect for the emperor! He is simply a treacherous villain!"
The more Xun Yu scolded, the more excited he got, and spittle flew everywhere.
The more Cao Cao listened, the more guilty he became.
Although Xun Yu was scolding Xu You, he had the feeling that Xun Yu was scolding him, because... he and Xu You had exactly the same idea.
It's not a bad thing to leave a way out.
Cao Cao coughed to hide his embarrassment and continued to persuade Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, please go back and calm down. I was just pretending to be with him."
"I personally welcomed the Emperor of Xu County. Others don't know whether it's true or not, but I don't know yet. Just rest assured. I will definitely not listen to Xu You's nonsense."
Seeing Cao Cao's vow, Xun Yu's expression softened slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao persuaded Xun Yu again and gave up Xun Yu's plan to go to Yecheng in person to distinguish the true and false emperor.
Fortunately, after he saw him off, Cao Cao left the study without stopping and headed to the small courtyard where he arranged for Xu You to stay.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Xu Youzheng drinking alone in the yard.
"Ziyuan!"
Cao Cao trotted over.
However, Xu You just glanced at him, put on an old face, and turned away from him, not looking at him at all.
Cao Cao was so shameless. When he saw this, he sat down next to Xu You and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, don't be angry. Xun Yu has a bad temper and is as stubborn as a donkey."
"Why do you need to be angry with him?"
Xu You sneered and said, "Am I angry with him? Did you make a mistake, Cao Amo?"
"I know, I know."
Cao Cao took Xu You's hand and said sincerely: "Xun Yu is just my adviser, and you, Ziyuan, are my close friends. I am not Yuan Benchu, how can I be indistinguishable?"
"But now I am also a prince who occupies Yanzhou and Yuzhou. There were so many people outside just now that I don't want to be too biased towards you. As soon as Xun Yu leaves, I will come to you to apologize."
As he spoke, Cao Cao began to wink at Xu You.
"Today I specially ordered someone to buy you a large house with six rooms. I also prepared ten maids and fifty boxes of goods for you. Is that enough for a brother?"
Cao Cao really cared about Xu You.
Xu You had completely betrayed Yuan Shao. He had just given him advice and found a way out after the incident was revealed. In addition, after many years of friendship, how could he not pay attention to it?
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xu You's expression became slightly better, but he still said: "That's not what I care about. If it weren't for the years of friendship with you, I wouldn't tolerate that old man at all. The goods have already been sent elsewhere."
"Yes yes yes."
Cao Cao stroked Xu You's hair and said with a smile on his face: "What Ziyuan said to me in the study before really touched my heart."
"It's just that Xun Yu is too stubborn and his heart is devoted to the emperor and loyal to the great man."
Xu You took a sip of wine and sneered: "Xun Wenruo is just a foolish and loyal person. Such people have had no good end since ancient times."
"We are different from him. The so-called gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall and always leaves a way out."
"Being die-hardly loyal to the emperor and the Han Dynasty, and being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, what else can you do besides leaving a reputation? Are you right?"
"Hey! Ziyuan, what are you talking about!" After hearing Xu You's words, Cao Cao immediately straightened his face and said seriously: "It's just that you and Xun Yu are different. When did I become different from him? "
"I am also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. I am loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor. Please don't say such nonsense in the future."
When Xu You heard this, he rolled his eyes with disdain on his face.
"Yes, yes, you, Cao Ah Man, are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, not someone like me, Xu Ziyuan."
The two were joking and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
The more Cao Cao saw Xu You acting like this, the more at ease he felt.
A good brother is a brother who is not loyal to the big man.
The two chatted while drinking, until Xu You was very drunk, and Cao Cao left with some drunkenness.
After returning to the study, Xu Chu walked in and reported: "My lord, the medical officer sent to the palace has returned."
"How?" The drunkenness in Cao Cao's eyes disappeared, and he looked at Xu Chu with some anxiety, waiting for the result.
Xu Chu said: "The medical officer said the queen is not pregnant."
After hearing this answer, Cao Cao felt extremely complicated.
He stood there in silence for a long time, and finally said lightly: "I understand, please step back."
"Yes, my lord."
Xu Chu turned around and retreated.
As soon as he left the study, Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened and he swept all the utensils on the desk to the ground.
At this time, he no longer had the easy-going attitude that he had when he was smiling with Xu Youyan during the day, and only the deepest murderous intent remained on his face.
The last time he entered the palace to question the emperor's identity, Empress Fu used her reputation as a guarantor for the emperor. At that time, he was concerned about the dignity of the royal family, and after Fu finished Yang Biao's words, he could not force someone to take Empress Fu's pulse.
The result now is a slap in the face!
Queen Fu was not pregnant at all. Everything was done to make him believe that the emperor was real, so she made up such a lie!
"Two old guys! How dare you play with me!"
Cao Cao cursed hatefully, and his heart was full of murderous intentions towards Fu Wan and Yang Biao. He didn't expect these two old dogs to hide so deeply!
Today he has his sword across their necks, yet he still has the guts to lie. This mouth is probably tougher than the strongest armor in the world!
Drunk and angry, Cao Cao grabbed his sword and wanted to take people to find Yang Biao and Fu Wan to teach the two old dogs a lesson, but he stopped after taking a few steps.
Because he remembered the conversation with Xu You during the day.
"I have fallen into a misunderstanding. In fact, there is no need for me to worry about whether the emperor is true or false. I just need this name and use this righteousness to cause trouble."
"As long as the emperor of Xu County is still there, the emperor of Yecheng will never be the real emperor. Even if I am really defeated in the end, as Ziyuan said, I can put all the responsibilities on Yang Biao and Fu Wan. And Dong Cheng."
"I'm just a loyal minister who was deceived!"
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and the murderous intention in his heart gradually disappeared. He found that the strategy Xu You gave him was really wonderful.
From now on, not only can he not take action against Fu Wan, Yang Biao, and Dong Cheng, but he must protect them well and not let any problems happen to them. As a last resort, he will take the blame.
"But I can't completely believe Ziyuan's words. Is the emperor over there in Yecheng true or false? I need to find someone to confirm."
Cao Cao had a suspicion about Xu You.
He really didn't need to worry too much about whether the emperor's identity was real or fake, but he needed to know the truth, because it would determine how he would treat the emperor in Xu County in the future.
If it was true, he would still treat it with respect.
If it was fake, there was no need to be shy about it, and he could just use it as a puppet.
But who to find to go to Yecheng was a problem.
This person had to have seen the emperor before, and he had to be someone he trusted.
Cao Cao sat down and thought.
The faces of his confidants kept flashing through his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable one. After a long time, he remembered someone.
"Yingchuan Chen, Chen Qun!"
This person was recruited by him in the name of the emperor not long ago.
He was one of the nine ministers, the son of Chen Ji, the Grand Herald, and had seen the emperor before.
Using the entire Yingchuan Chen family as a guarantee, it was undoubtedly the most appropriate to let Chen Qun go to Yecheng to verify the authenticity of the emperor.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and immediately called Xu Chu to ask him to call Chen Qun.
...
Xun Mansion.
As soon as Xun You returned home, he saw Xun Yu with a gloomy face and an unhappy look on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Faced with Xun You's question, Xun Yu did not hide anything and told him everything that happened in Cao Cao's mansion during the day.
"Xu You said that the emperor in Yecheng is the real one?"
Xun You was very surprised after hearing this. Xu You had seen the emperor in Yecheng, and now he came to Xu County to see the emperor again, but the conclusion he came to was that the emperor in Yecheng was the real one?
Xun Yu snorted coldly, "Xu You is just talking nonsense! The reason why he said this is to persuade Sikong to leave a way out. If things don't work out in the future, he will tie up the emperor and serve the fake emperor!"
"What a good calculation!"
Xun Yu hated Xu You, a selfish villain who had no loyalty to his father and no respect for his king. There was no loyalty at all.
Xun You dismissed the servants in the room, hesitated for a moment, and said to Xun Yu: "Uncle, I just got a piece of news, do you want to hear it?"
"What news?" Xun Yu frowned and looked at Xun You.
Xun You said: "Just this morning, after the Grand Marshal and Xu You came out of the palace, they personally led a team of soldiers into the Yang Mansion and captured Yang Biao and Fu Wan."
"I don't know what the Grand Marshal said to the two of them, and finally angrily led people to the mansion of General Dong Cheng... I think this matter is a bit weird."
Xun Yu was startled, squinted his eyes and looked at Xun You, and asked in a deep voice: "Gongda, what do you want to say?"
Xun You lowered his voice and said: "Uncle, have you ever thought about... Is it possible that the emperor in the palace is in our Before we went to Luoyang to welcome him, he was replaced by Yang Biao and others? "
"Kong Rong couldn't tell whether the emperor was real or fake. Lu Bu and Liu Bei also served the emperor of Yecheng, who was still a puppet of Yuan Shao at that time. Xu You now said that the emperor of Yecheng was real. "
"If the emperor of Yecheng was real or fake, why did so many people believe it? "
"Even Uncle Youruo kept writing letters asking us to go to Yecheng. "
"Uncle, don't you think it's too strange? "
Hearing Xun You's words, Xun Yu was like being struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
