Can I get to the other side?

Xu County, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xian of Han complained to Empress Fu with a sad face: "Zongzheng said he would verify my identity, why didn't he participate in the court meeting, and didn't announce to the world that I am the orthodox Han Dynasty!"

These days, he was looking forward to Liu Ai clearing his name and dispelling the doubts of the officials in the court.

But that day, after Liu Ai left the palace, he stayed at home sick.

Not to mention clearing his name, he didn't even attend the agreed court.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Empress Fu pulled Emperor Xian of Han, who was pacing back and forth, to sit down and comforted him: "Since Zongzheng is sick, wait until he recovers. Why should Your Majesty be in a hurry?"

Emperor Xian of Han seemed to wear a painful mask on his face, and said sadly: "I am worried that Liu Ai is not sick at all. The reason why he claims to be sick and can't go out is that he is unwilling to clear my name."

"But that day he clearly asked me all kinds of secrets and acknowledged my identity as the orthodox emperor in person. Why is it still like this?"

After hearing this, Empress Fu also understood where Emperor Xian of Han's worries came from.

He also said with a sad face: "Liu Ai is not a loyal man. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Emperor Xian of Han jumped up from the cushion in an instant, looking extremely panicked.

"Did Liu Ai betray me too? He saw me that day just to get some secrets from me!"

As he spoke, his face gradually became ferocious, and he roared angrily: "No, it's impossible! He is the head of the clan, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, how could he betray me! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

For a while, Emperor Xian of Han was in a state of confusion.

He felt that Liu Ai, as the head of the clan, would not betray the royal family.

But all kinds of deeds showed that Liu Ai did not stand on his side.

Empress Fu said: "Whether Liu Ai is sick, let the imperial physician go over and see."

When Emperor Xian of Han heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, if he is not sick, or refuses to see the imperial physician, then there must be a problem!"

After that, Emperor Xian of Han quickly issued an edict and sent an imperial physician to Liu Ai's house.

After waiting anxiously for nearly an incense stick of time, the imperial physician finally came back to report.

As soon as he saw the imperial physician, Emperor Xian of Han couldn't wait to ask: "What disease did Zong Zheng have? Is it serious?"

The imperial physician looked embarrassed and said: "Reporting to your majesty, Zong Zheng closed the door to visitors. I was unable to meet him and don't know how his condition is."

As soon as the voice fell, Emperor Xian of Han's face turned pale in an instant, and his worries were completely confirmed.

Liu Ai, there is indeed a problem!

After dismissing the imperial physician in despair, Emperor Xian of Han was a little lost.

He couldn't understand why Liu Ai broke his promise.

What happened after Liu Ai left the palace?

Emperor Xian of Han's mind turned rapidly, and suddenly a light bulb went off!

"That's right! That day I asked him to explain my identity to Yang Biao and Fu Wan, and that's where the problem lies!"

"It must be Yang Biao and Fu Wan who coerced Liu Ai! And Liu Ai was afraid of death, so he claimed to be sick and didn't dare to clear my name."

The more Emperor Xian of Han thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and his face became more and more ugly, and the anger in his eyes was almost about to burst out!

"Yang Biao, Fu Wan, it's you two again!"

"I trust you so much, why do you treat me like this?"

Emperor Xian of Han was so angry that he wanted to rush to Yang Biao and Fu Wan's house with a sword and kill them personally.

But unfortunately, without Cao Cao's permission, he couldn't leave the palace.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Empress Fu: "Queen, please leave, I want to be alone for a while."

Empress Fu knew that Emperor Xian of Han was full of anger at her father at this time, and she couldn't comfort him, so she had to leave.

Emperor Xian of Han stayed alone in the hall for a long time, then stood up angrily, went outside the hall, and ordered the Tiger Guards who were protecting his safety: "Go and bring Yang Biao and Fu Wan to me!"

The Tiger Guards agreed and left.

Although Emperor Xian of Han was under house arrest in the palace, there were still 800 Tiger Guards to maintain the safety of the palace.

Although Cao Cao could enter and leave the palace at will and sent soldiers to guard the palace, he could not transfer the emperor's personal army.

Otherwise, his evil intentions would be obvious.

It would definitely cause criticism from the court and the public, and would be accused by the world.

……

Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao was playing chess with Xu You in the garden.

At this time, Cao Cao's black pieces on the chessboard had a great advantage, and he had formed an encirclement of Xu You's white pieces, and he was about to win.

"Ziyuan, your chess skills have regressed. It seems that I will win this game."

Cao Cao smiled and ate several white pieces of Xu You.

Xu You glanced at him, and said nothing. He just raised his wine gourd and took a sip, then casually dropped a piece, and the situation on the chessboard was instantly reversed!

"You..."

Cao Cao's expression suddenly froze. He stared at the chessboard with wide eyes for a long time before he had to admit the fact that he had lost, but he was still unwilling: "Let's play another game!"

"Forget it, you stinky chess player." Xu You didn't want to play with Cao Cao anymore, and said, "I'm here to talk to you today."

"What's the matter?"

"What do you mean by what Liu Ai said that day?"

A few days ago, Liu Ai, the chief of the imperial clan, suddenly came to the door and said that he had verified the identity of the emperor in the palace, and the real emperor had been replaced by Yang Biao.

But what is puzzling is that as the chief of the imperial clan, why didn't he announce this to the public after discovering it? Instead, he ran to tell Cao Cao?

Cao Cao gathered the chess pieces and said disapprovingly: "It's nothing more than being greedy for life and afraid of death. If he announced to the public that the emperor of Xu County had been replaced, how could I let him go?"

"As the head of the clan, I can't let him leave Xu County. He came to tell me about this because he wanted to leave a way out for himself."

"He is smart, but he doesn't have the responsibility of a head of the clan. He is looked down upon."

Xu You frowned. He always felt that things would not be so simple.

Just when he wanted to ask further, Xu Chu hurried into the back garden.

"My lord, His Majesty sent the Tiger Guards to break into Yang's house and the prison where Fu Wan was imprisoned, wanting to take Yang Biao and Fu Wan into the palace. Now they are stopped by my soldiers."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at Xu You, and said, "Don't stop them. Let the Tiger Guards take them away."

"Yes!"

Xu Chu retreated in response.

Cao Cao said again, "The one in the palace who suddenly summoned Yang Biao and Fu Wan into the palace must be plotting something. Ziyuan, come with me to the palace, let's go and see!"

Xu You was eager for this, and nodded quickly, "Then I will go with you to see."

After that, the two went to the palace together.

…

The Imperial Palace, Xuanshi.

Yang Biao had a bandage wrapped around his head, looking like he was seriously injured and had not recovered.

Fu Wan was wearing prison clothes, looking a little haggard, obviously he had suffered a lot in prison.

Only Dong Cheng looked very decent.

Emperor Xian of Han sat in the main seat, looking at the two of them angrily, and shouted: "How dare you two rebellious ministers coerce the Zongzheng!"

Yang Biao and Fu Wan were stunned after hearing this angry scolding, and they looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Coercing the Zongzheng?

What nonsense is this fake emperor talking about!

Yang Biao said with a sullen face: "I have been under house arrest by Cao Cao these days. When have I seen Zong Zheng? When have I threatened him? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Han Xiandi's face was full of anger: "You haven't seen it? Four days ago, I summoned Zong Zheng to the palace to verify my identity. Zong Zheng confirmed my identity on the spot."

"I thought you were just confused by slander and therefore suspected me. So I asked Zong Zheng to come to my house to inform me of the results of the verification. I thought you would wake up."

"But-"

Han Xiandi's voice suddenly rose, and he stared at Yang Biao and the others with gritted teeth: "My tolerance towards you has made you more and more unscrupulous!"

"I have repeatedly given in, hoping that you can change your mind, but you are stubborn and even threaten Zong Zheng, so that Zong Zheng dare not clear my name!"

"What benefits did the fake emperor in Yecheng give you to make you so devoted!"

"Tell me!!"

Han Xiandi roared throughout the hall.

The pain of being betrayed, the pain of being stabbed in the back, and the anger of being betrayed after being forgiven many times, all roared out with this roar at this moment.

The three people in the hall were shocked by these words.

To be precise, they felt incredible.

As a fake emperor, he dared to ask the Zongzheng to come and verify his identity?

This is nonsense!

Dong Cheng and Fu Wan looked at Yang Biao at the same time.

There was a question in their eyes-who are you looking for, why are you saying such a weird thing?

But they didn't know that Yang Biao was also very confused at this time.

At this point, the identity of the fake emperor has been exposed and Cao Cao has noticed it, why is he still pretending to be the emperor here? Is it necessary?

He hasn't even seen the Zongzheng, so where is the threat?

It can be seen that the fake emperor's verification of identity is clearly fake.

"Nonsense!" Yang Biao scolded Emperor Xian of Han, frowning and saying, "Your Majesty has now taken the upper hand, and it is just around the corner to unify the world and restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Your duty as the emperor ends here! For the sake of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can commit suicide."

Now that the situation is clear, the identity of the fake emperor can no longer be concealed.

Your Majesty has escaped from the predicament, and there is no need to rely on the real or fake emperor to confuse and restrain Yuan Shao. It is time to let the world know who the real emperor is!

And the best way is for the fake emperor to commit suicide.

As long as the fake emperor of Xu County dies, Your Majesty can take back all the authority of the emperor, and command the world, and no one will disobey!

But now that things have come to this, this fake emperor is still going to play.

This really makes Yang Biao confused.

"Sure enough, it was this old man who replaced the emperor!"

Fu Wan and Dong Cheng looked at each other, and they read the same meaning from each other's eyes.

I couldn't help but scold Yang Biao in my heart for being shameless. This old man has never told the truth!

Such a great achievement, if you want to monopolize it all by yourself!

Emperor Xian of Han was furious at Yang Biao's words, and pointed at him with a sullen face and cursed:

"Yang Biao! You are a veteran minister of three dynasties! Your Yang family has been blessed by the Han Dynasty for generations, how dare you say such treasonous words!"

"I am the real emperor!"

Yang Biao heard the hysteria in Emperor Xian of Han's words, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and his heart was shaken.

Because the anger shown by Emperor Xian of Han was too real, he couldn't help but doubt again-is this really a substitute?

Just as Yang Biao was thinking silently, Fu Wan, who was standing beside him, seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Emperor Xian of Han in disbelief and said:

"I understand! I understand why you are unwilling to commit suicide! You... you are so bold!!"

Yang Biao subconsciously asked: "What does Fu Gong mean by this?"

Fu Wan's face was full of anger. He raised his hand and pointed at Emperor Xian of Han, and said sternly: "This fake emperor wants to turn the fake into the real!"

This sentence, like a thunderclap from the ground, resounded throughout the hall.

"Change the fake to the real?!"

Yang Biao and Dong Cheng's faces changed drastically, and they all looked up at Emperor Xian of Han, with deep anger and shock in their eyes.

"Change the fake to the real?!"

Cao Cao and Xu You, who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on the conversation in the Xuanshi, also changed their faces drastically, and they almost couldn't help but screamed!

Cao Cao completely understood.

At this moment, he seemed to be struck by lightning, his mind was clear, and his inside and outside were transparent!

All the questions in his heart were answered.

No wonder Zong Zheng said that the emperor of Yecheng was the orthodox Han Dynasty, and no wonder this fake emperor had always refused to admit it.

It turned out that he wanted to change from a fake emperor to a real emperor!

"What a terrible scheming, what a deep mind!"

"This kid is really terrible!"

"If I hadn't happened to overhear it today, it would be hard to believe that he would have any other tricks."

Cao Cao clenched his fists, his face was extremely solemn.

He always felt that his forbearance and scheming had surpassed most people in the world.

Xu Shao once gave him the evaluation of "a treacherous hero in troubled times", and he was always proud of it.

But compared with the pseudo-emperor in front of him, his so-called forbearance and scheming are nothing compared to the great one, and they are not on the same level at all!

"I underestimated him too much. I must never enter the palace again. Maybe one day when he gets the chance, he will order the Tiger Guards to kill me when I enter the palace!"

"Just like the Ten Eunuchs killed He Jin back then."

Cao Cao felt a sense of relief and fear after surviving a disaster. He felt that he was lucky to be able to enter the palace alive before.

He even felt that there might be an axeman ambushed near the Xuanshi!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's fear became even worse. He kept looking around and pulled Xu You and said, "Ziyuan, I think this place is not safe. Let's leave the palace quickly!"

Now in his heart, the threat index of Emperor Xian of Han has increased exponentially, surpassing Yuan Shao and becoming the number one enemy in his heart!

Xu You, who was standing aside, also had an extremely ugly face.

He did not expect that the stand-in of His Majesty would be so bold and rebellious, thinking of turning the fake into the real.

This fake emperor is really bold!

After taking a deep look at Emperor Xian of Han, Xu You said to Cao Cao with a sullen face: "Let's go, leave the palace quickly."

He also felt that the palace was full of dangers and dangers were lurking everywhere.

Cao Cao and Xu You left quietly without anyone noticing.

The confrontation in the hall continued.

Emperor Xian of Han pointed at himself. He still hadn't reacted yet. He said blankly, "I...turned the fake into the real?"

"That's right!!"

Fu Wan's face was ashen. He looked at Emperor Xian of Han with fear and anger. "You know that you will die if your identity as a fake emperor is exposed, so you decided to go all the way and make yourself the real emperor!"

"You have such a deep plan and such a courage!"

Yang Biao was also enlightened by Fu Wan's words. He finally understood why Emperor Xian of Han continued to act until now. He had a little doubt in his heart just now!

He looked at Emperor Xian of Han and said angrily: "As a shadow, it is my duty to die for my real body. How can I have such a rebellious mind!"

"Look at your appearance. Where is the emperor's aura? It's a daydream to want to pass off the fake as the real thing!"

Fu Wan stepped forward and scolded: "Traitor! It's a great grace to let you pretend to be the emperor and enjoy the emperor's life! If you still have a trace of patriotism, you should commit suicide and die!"

"Otherwise, when your majesty's army arrives one day, you will die without a burial place!"

Yang Biao and Fu Wan were amazing, and their eyes were like knives!

The way they looked at Emperor Xian of Han was like looking at a traitor.

"I am not, I didn't..."

Emperor Xian of Han was confused by what the two said, and the anger he had accumulated before was also released. He tried to open his mouth to refute, but Yang Biao and Fu Wan didn't give him a chance to refute.

Dong Cheng, who had been silent all the time, observed quietly for a long time.

Suddenly, he walked out of the palace with a stern face and shouted loudly: "Come here! Tie up the hands and gag the mouths of these two bastards, and fork them out of the palace!"

The four Tiger Guards looked at Emperor Xian of Han, who nodded for some reason.

So, they rushed into the palace and forked Yang Biao and Fu Wan out.

Fu Wan cursed: "Dong Cheng, you traitor! The fake emperor wants to turn the fake into the real, and you don't kill him, but you dare to--"

Halfway through his words, a piece of rag blocked his mouth.

Soon, Yang Biao and Fu Wan were forked out.

In the Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Xian of Han fell to the ground with sweat all over his head, and said absentmindedly: "How can they say this about me, how can they say this about me..."

"I never thought of killing them, but they asked me to commit suicide, why, why!"

Dong Cheng stepped forward, looked at Emperor Xian of Han with deep eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be alarmed, I won't let them talk nonsense outside."

Hearing this, Emperor Xian of Han barely calmed down, and said to Dong Cheng with mixed feelings: "Everyone betrayed me, only Dong Qing remained the same, you are the most loyal minister!"

Dong Cheng smiled, moved to the side of Emperor Xian of Han, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, there are no outsiders now, so there is no need to pretend. And your identity as a fake emperor has been exposed, what's the point of pretending anymore?"

Emperor Xian of Han was stunned, and then he became furious: "You also think I am a fake emperor!"

"Look, you're still being stubborn." Dong Cheng sighed and said helplessly: "I have no ill will towards you, I just want to talk to you."

"In order to protect His Majesty, you are willing to take the risk of pretending to be the emperor. I admire your courage and bravery. But Yang Biao and Fu Wan, those two guys, want to abandon you after using you. I really can't stand it."

"Little brother, do you want to be rich and powerful?"
