Can I get to the other side?

The emperor in Yecheng is the real one?

The one in Xu County is fake?

Did Yang Biao, Fu Wan and others replace the emperor and send him to Yecheng before Cao Cao welcomed him to Xu County?

Xun You's words opened up a new way of thinking for Xun Yu, making him... doubt himself a little.

Because this is entirely possible.

"And..."

Xun You took out another letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xun Yu, saying, "This is from Uncle Youruo in Yecheng, Uncle, take a look."

Xun Yu took the letter and read it carefully.

This letter was sent by Xun Chen, and the content was very simple, hoping that he and Xun You could go to Yecheng to serve the real emperor, and move the Xun family of Yingchuan there as well.

And in the letter, he also described in detail the current situation in Yecheng, and how the emperor manipulated Yuan Xi to drive away Yuan Shao and occupy the entire Yecheng.

The whole article can be summed up in six words - a promising future, come quickly.

After reading the letter, Xun Yu's eyes flickered and his expression kept changing. It was obvious that he was struggling in his heart.

Everything told him that the emperor in Yecheng was very likely to be real, and the emperor in Xu County was fake, but... was it really so?

"I can't tell, I can't tell!"

Xun Yu crumpled the letter into a ball and closed his eyes painfully. He felt that his heart was in a mess and he couldn't find any clues.

Two emperors.

Which one is real? Which one is fake?

...

The palace.

Fu Wan, who had just returned home, came to Empress Fu's bedroom again.

He thought Empress Fu had figured it out and decided to tell him the truth.

As soon as he saw Empress Fu, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is the emperor really fake? Did Dong Cheng arrange for the emperor to escape when he crossed the Yellow River to Hedong that day?"

Empress Fu frowned and said with an unhappy face: "Why did father mention this again?"

Now it's not just Cao the thief, even his biological father, the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, is so disrespectful to the emperor.

This made Empress Fu feel extremely resentful.

Fu Wan also frowned and murmured: "If it wasn't the day of crossing the Yellow River, it must have been when Hong Yang and Zhang Ji hijacked the emperor. At that time, there was chaos and countless officials and palace maids were killed and injured. It was a good opportunity to secretly send the emperor away."

As he spoke, he kept nodding, affirming his analysis.

"Father!"

Empress Fu's beautiful eyes were red, and she stared at her father angrily.

Fu Wan saw that Empress Fu didn't look like she was lying to him, and he became more and more confused.

He said carefully: "Is there a possibility that the fake emperor and the real emperor are so similar that you can't recognize him as a fake?"

Empress Fu's chest rose and fell violently with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The emperor has really not been replaced. If you mention this matter again, don't blame your daughter for not caring about the father-daughter relationship!"

Fu Wan opened his mouth, but didn't mention it again.

If he continued to talk about it, the father and daughter would break up.

Shaking his head, he sighed in his heart: After all, a daughter who is married is like water spilled out. Such a big thing was hidden from me.

Fu Wan said, "I just left and you called me into the palace. Something must have happened."

Empress Fu nodded slightly and said with a sad face, "That day Cao Cao entered the palace and questioned the authenticity of the emperor. In a hurry, my daughter pretended to be pregnant to guarantee your majesty. Just an hour ago, Cao Cao ordered someone to enter the palace and forcefully felt my pulse."

"What!" Fu Wan slammed the table and stood up, furious, "How dare Cao the thief do this! You are the queen, how dare he be so disrespectful to you!"

He and Yang Biao were also present that day, and they saw that Cao Cao wanted someone to feel Empress Fu's pulse to confirm whether Empress Fu was pregnant. So he deliberately used words to stop Cao Cao and let him give up this idea.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao finally did this step in order to confirm the authenticity of the emperor.

Empress Fu said worriedly, "Father, what should we do now? Cao Cao already suspected the emperor, and now that he found out that I'm not pregnant, he will definitely not let it go."

"Don't panic. Even if the emperor is fake, so what? Your identity as the queen can't be fake! Everything depends on me and Lord Yang. I'll leave the palace and discuss countermeasures with Lord Yang."

After saying this, Fu Wan hurriedly got up and walked out.

When he was halfway there, he suddenly stopped and turned to Empress Fu and said, "You can stay in the bedroom for the time being. The emperor will have Concubine Dong to serve you."

Empress Fu was angry, and she knew what her father meant by that.

But her anger was useless. The emperor had favored Concubine Dong for a long time, and he hadn't been to her bedroom for a long time.

At the door of the bedroom, the emperor walked to the corner with a sullen face, avoiding Fu Wan who came out of the palace.

He gritted his teeth tightly, with rage in his eyes and a deep shame in his heart.

Now not only Cao Cao suspected that he was fake, even the father-in-law did not believe him.

"Is it possible that I am fake?"

Apart from this absurd reason, Emperor Xian of Han could not think of why everyone believed that the fake emperor in Yecheng was the supreme ruler.

...

That night, at the residence of General Dong Cheng.

It was a dark night, and it was silent.

Outside the study, two rows of armored soldiers were guarding, and no one was allowed to approach the study within thirty steps.

Dong Cheng looked at Yang Biao and Fu Wan who came late at night with complicated eyes, and his heart was very uneasy.

A few days ago, it was reported that the auspicious sign of purple air coming from the east appeared after the emperor of Yecheng offered sacrifices to the sky, and Cao Cao began to doubt the identity of the emperor.

If Empress Fu had not appeared in time, pretending to be pregnant, and using her own reputation as the queen to guarantee the emperor, something big would have happened at that time.

Unexpectedly, Xu You defected from Yuan Shao just a few days ago, which made Cao Cao suspicious again.

Today, I even asked the three of them one by one.

Dong Cheng poured tea for Yang Biao and Fu Wan and said, "You two came to visit late at night, but is it related to what Cao Cao did today?"

"Something big has happened!" Fu Wan lowered his voice and said anxiously: "After Cao Cao met with us today, he ordered people to enter the palace and forcefully took the queen's pulse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Cheng's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help shaking, and the tea spilled everywhere.

Nowadays, the rumor that the emperor in Yecheng is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei is spreading a lot.

Most people think that Xu County is fake.

If Cao Cao believed so, wouldn't Dong Cheng become the eternal sinner who falsely established himself as emperor?

Yang Biao, who had already discussed with Fu Wan, saw Dong Cheng's panic, stared at him fixedly, and said:

"Mr. Dong, it's already reached this point, and you're still not willing to tell us the truth?"

Dong Cheng put down the tea cup and said with a confused look on his face: "What's the truth?"

Yang Biao got angry and snorted loudly, saying: "You still have to pretend to be stupid! I, the Yang family of Hongnong, have been loyal to the Han Dynasty for generations. The wife of Duke Fu is the eldest princess of Yang'an, and is the current father-in-law of the country. ! Are we so unworthy of your trust, General Dong?"

Listening to Yang Biao's strange words, looking at his angry expression, he then glanced at Fu Wan, who had the same unkind expression. Dong Cheng became more and more confused.

He frowned and said, "I really don't know what Mr. Yang is talking about. If Mr. Yang has something to say, you might as well say it directly. I know that there is nothing I can't say without saying anything."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Yang Biao was so angry that he almost walked away.

In the end, Fu Wan grabbed him by force.

Fu finished and said: "Dong Gong, you are from Jizhou, right?"

Dong Cheng nodded, "Exactly."

Fu finished and said again: "If we are in a time of war and chaos, can Mr. Dong bring people safely to Jizhou?"

Dong Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "My Dong family is also a big family in Jizhou, so it is not difficult to do this. Mr. Fu, what exactly do you want to ask? What we are discussing tonight should not be about the Queen pretending to be pregnant to act as guarantee for His Majesty. ”

He was almost knocked out by Fu Wan.

Fu Wan took a deep breath and looked at Dong Cheng with burning eyes, "Dong Gong is the nephew of Queen Mother Dong, the father of Dong Guiren, and the most trusted by the emperor. When you return to Luoyang from the east, or before you move the capital to Xu County, you... Did he secretly send the emperor to Yecheng?"

After hearing this, Dong Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he jumped up from his seat, looking at Fu Wan and Yang Biao in disbelief.

"You! You actually suspect that the emperor is fake!"

Yang Biao snorted coldly and said: "It's okay for us to be suspicious. The key is that Cao Cao is also suspicious! In his heart, he almost believes that the emperor is a fake. Dong Gong, if you tell the truth, we can still make some plans. . If you still choose to hide it, you will really harm the emperor."

Dong Cheng's brain was working rapidly and his eyes were flashing.

He finally knew the purpose of these two people.

It turned out that it was not just him, but these two people also suspected that the emperor was fake.

But this matter was indeed not his doing.

He grabbed Fu Wan's hand and asked: "Mr. Fu, the Queen is not pregnant for a long time. I'm afraid you have already made an explanation, right? Tell me, did you secretly send His Majesty to Yecheng?"

Hearing this, Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"No wonder... no wonder that after returning to Luoyang, the queen has been stable for so long, but she has never been pregnant. It turns out that it was you who sent His Majesty away after Fu! Why did you hide such a good thing from me? Could it be that you were afraid that we might tell the truth! "

Fu Wan was stunned.

This matter really has nothing to do with him!

How could he know why the queen was not pregnant?

He subconsciously said: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. Isn't Dong Guiren pregnant too?"

Dong Cheng thought about it and realized that Fu Wan was right.

So he looked at Yang Biao suspiciously.

"Hongnong is your hometown. Under the Yang family's management of Hongnong for many years, you can arrange for His Majesty to escape even when the war is in chaos, right? Mr. Yang, you secretly sent His Majesty to Yecheng, right?"

Yang Biao had never done this at all. He just felt that neither Fu Wan nor Dong Cheng had told him the truth and were just perfunctory. He yelled angrily:

"You two old guys, how long have you been hiding this from me?"

Fu Wan also cursed: "Hurry up and tell the truth! We can discuss how to assist Your Majesty in reviving the Han Dynasty."

Dong Cheng: "Just tell me who sent your majesty to Yecheng. The emperor and I will both prosper and suffer. There is absolutely no possibility of leaking it."

The three exchanged insults and ended up glaring at each other.

They all felt that the person who really sent the emperor to Yecheng was wary of them, for fear that the secret would be leaked.

No one thought about it, maybe Xu County was the real Dragon Emperor.

Or, they instinctively dare not think about it in that direction.

At five o'clock in the morning, Yang Biao and Fu Wan left Dong's Mansion and went home.

Dong Cheng sat in the study, tapping his fingers on the desk. After thinking for a long time, he ordered someone to call his son Dong Xi.

"Father!"

Dong Xi has not yet woken up, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Dong Cheng said: "Xi'er, as a father, there is something very important that you need to do. I don't trust anyone except you about this matter."

When Dong Xi heard this, most of his sleepiness disappeared, and he quickly said excitedly: "I don't know what the important matter is. Please tell me from my father. The child will definitely not disappoint his father."

Dong Cheng considered his words and said: "You are familiar with His Majesty. I want you to disguise yourself and go to Yecheng secretly to find out whether the emperor of Yecheng is real or fake."

"What!" Dong Xi was startled and looked at Dong Cheng in disbelief, "Why did father say this? Isn't the emperor in Xu County? The man in Yecheng is the false emperor created by Yuan Shao!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Dong Cheng glared at Dong Xi fiercely and said: "The real emperor may have been ambushed by Yang Biao and sent to Yecheng long ago. But my father is not sure, so he asked you to go quietly to find out the situation. ”

Dong Xi's heart beat violently uncontrollably, and he felt that he had heard an incredible secret.

The real emperor is actually in Yecheng!

No wonder Yecheng has the auspiciousness of purple energy coming from the east!

"Father, don't worry. The child only needs to see the emperor of Yecheng and ask a few questions to know the truth."

"Yes." Dong Cheng nodded slightly and said uneasily, "This trip must be kept secret. Remember not to let anyone find out."

"My child understands."

At the same time, Yang Biao, who had just returned home, immediately came to Yang Xiu's wing and called him out of his sleep.

"Don't sleep, get up quickly! After dawn, we will quickly go to Yecheng."

Yang Xiu was so smart, his eyes suddenly lit up.

His guess yesterday was indeed correct. The real emperor is the one from Yecheng!

"Does the father want his children to assist the emperor?"

Yang Biao slapped Yang Xiu on the head and scolded: "Whether it is true or false, we still don't know yet. My father asked you to go to Yecheng and take a good look to see if that person is a Han orthodoxy."

Yang Xiu rubbed his head, thinking that his father was just being tough.

Asked: "If the emperor of Yecheng is indeed the Han Dynasty's orthodox, then the child..."

Yang Biao said without hesitation: "Then you stay in Yecheng and don't have to come back."

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement and said: "This is best. The child will go to assist the emperor, and the father will stay in Xu County to deal with the thief Cao. When the emperor sends troops south, the father can also be an internal correspondent."

Different from Yang Biao.

Yang Biao hoped that the emperor of Yecheng would be the Han Dynasty's orthodox, and Yang Xiu almost confirmed his suspicion after what happened during the day.

The same scene also happened in Fu Wan's house.

Dong Cheng, Yang Biao, and Fu Wan, as the emperor's closest and most trusted ministers, would always feel uneasy unless they knew whether the emperor was true or false.

…

Early the next morning, Yang Xiu, Dong Xi, Chen Qun and Fude each disguised themselves and quietly left Xu County and headed straight for Yecheng.

Cao Cao received a personal letter from Zhou Yu.

At this time, the advisers and generals under his command were being summoned to discuss whether to take advantage of Yuan Shao's great opportunity of internal and external troubles to send troops to Yangzhou.

They even joined forces with Ma Teng to attack Yuan Shao directly.
