Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 208 If you can’t be an emperor, learn from the one in Yecheng (extra chapter for leader Yu Y
General of Chariots and Cavalry Mansion.
Dong Cheng lay on the bed with his upper body naked, with several black and blue bruises on his body - it was because he fell down the stairs after being kicked by Emperor Xian of Han today.
"This damn fake emperor, he really doesn't know the current situation!"
"I don't believe you can keep being tough. The fake emperor's identity has been exposed. Who can help you except me? Who dares to help you!"
"If it weren't for Yang Biao and Fu Wan not taking me ashore, I wouldn't bother to take such a big risk to support you, this dog-foot emperor."
Dong Cheng applied bruises medicine to the wound while cursing indignantly. He had never seen such a stupid guy.
It's already been exposed, and he's still pretending to be your mother!
Do you really think everyone is a fool?
Of course, although he was annoyed, Dong Cheng didn't intend to give up, because in his opinion, the fake emperor was just because his identity and ambition were exposed, and he was angry and forced to be tough. When he calmed down and thought clearly, he would definitely compromise with him.
Because he was the only one who was willing to help after knowing the identity of the false emperor, and he had a high status and military power in his hands. Any smart person would know how to choose.
Just as Dong Cheng was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door and heard the voice of the housekeeper.
"General, someone from the palace has come."
"His Majesty summoned you to the palace for an audience."
Dong Cheng was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha! I knew it! He is a smart man. If he was a fool, he wouldn't have been able to hide it from me for so many years."
After laughing, Dong Cheng grabbed his clothes and put them on and went out directly.
Not long after, he arrived at the palace.
At this time, Emperor Xian of Han was waiting in the Xuan Room. When he saw Dong Cheng enter the hall, his expression did not fluctuate much, and he said lightly: "Sit down."
"Ha."
Dong Cheng sneered, and did not bother to be polite with him. He sat down with a big horse and a golden sword, and then looked at Emperor Xian of Han with a sneer on his face:
"I thought you would think about it for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to think it through so quickly. It turns out that people who can pretend to be the emperor are not stupid."
Faced with Dong Cheng's frivolous and disdainful words, Emperor Xian of Han flashed a trace of humiliation in his eyes, but he still endured it.
"I can agree to cooperate with you, but you have to tell me how you plan to help me first, and why should I believe you."
He still had a deep fear of Dong Cheng.
After knowing his identity as a "fake emperor", Yang Biao and Fu Wan chose to defect and support the emperor of Yecheng, but Dong Cheng was completely different.
What is this treacherous minister plotting?
Dong Cheng said calmly: "I am just like you, an abandoned child. Yang Biao and Fu Wan want me to be a scapegoat for supporting the fake emperor, so I need to find a way to survive and fight for the prosperity of the Dong family."
"As for how to help you, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own ideas. As long as you cooperate with me wholeheartedly and listen to me, everything will be fine."
"I have only one condition after the matter is done."
Speaking of this, Dong Cheng paused slightly, raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Xian of Han, and said in a deep voice: "I want the position of general and general!"
Since he has risked his life, Dong Cheng's request is naturally not small.
What he wants is the highest position among the ministers!
He wants to be Huo Guang, he wants to be Yi Yin!
"I promise you."
Emperor Xian of Han was not surprised by his condition and agreed without hesitation. He said, "To show my sincerity, I will announce the abolition of the queen at the morning court tomorrow. After the storm has passed, I will appoint Concubine Dong as the queen."
"When I regain power and unify the world in the future, the son born by Concubine Dong will be the crown prince. I will let him inherit the throne."
Dong Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had this idea for a long time and was thinking about how to bring it up. He didn't expect that this fake emperor was so sensible and took the initiative to mention this matter.
Isn't this too sensible?
No wonder he was chosen by that old man Yang Biao to be the substitute of the emperor.
Dong Cheng was very satisfied, and the resentment of being kicked by Emperor Xian of Han also dissipated. He stepped forward, patted his shoulder and smiled, "Not bad, not bad, you are a talented boy, very good!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
"From now on, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing honor and disgrace!"
Now, he did this not only for himself, but also for his grandson, for the future of his Dong family!
Even if this emperor is fake, as long as the child born with his daughter can inherit the throne, then half of this country will belong to his Dong family!
Thinking of this, Dong Cheng became more and more excited.
His aunt became the queen, queen mother, and grand empress dowager successively.
The traitor Dong Zhuo was also a high-ranking official, with great power, and could do things like abolishing and enthroning.
Now it is his turn, Dong Cheng.
The destiny is in Dong, the destiny is in Dong!
While looking at Emperor Xian of Han with satisfaction, Dong Cheng suddenly remembered something, so he suppressed his excitement and said, "Although your role as the emperor is acceptable, there is still a huge gap compared to the real emperor. Many flaws are easy to be seen and need to be improved one by one."
"?"
A question mark appeared on Emperor Xian of Han's face.
He is not like himself?
Although he felt insulted, Emperor Xian of Han still suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and forced a smile and asked:
"What is the gap?"
Dong Cheng said seriously: "Momentum, majesty!"
Emperor Xian of Han became more confused after hearing this.
Before he could ask, Dong Cheng's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he said with emotion: "I remember that year when I followed the traitor Dong Zhuo into Luoyang, I met the young emperor and the emperor who were kidnapped out of the city by the Ten Eunuchs. The emperor was still the Prince of Chenliu at that time, and he followed the young emperor."
"At that time, the young emperor and his entourage saw Dong Zhuo leading the Xiliang army, and they all trembled with fear, their legs trembling."
"Only the eight-year-old emperor stood up and scolded Dong Zhuo in public why he did not bow when he saw the emperor's carriage. That kind of spirit and style is really amazing."
"This is also one of the reasons why the traitor Dong Zhuo made your majesty the emperor. Your majesty has had the appearance of an emperor since he was a child... I have to say that Dong Zhuo's vision is really good. Your majesty has been enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. When he went to Yuan Shao, he no longer hid his shortcomings and showed the demeanor of an emperor."
Dong Cheng sighed. In his opinion, the cowardice shown by the emperor when Dong Zhuo was in chaos was all a false appearance, deceiving everyone.
What he did after going to Yecheng was like the Prince of Chenliu who dared to scold Dong Zhuo in person!
"So, look at you again."
Dong Cheng collected his thoughts from the memories and looked at Emperor Xian of Han with contempt, "You only learned three-tenths of the appearance of the emperor, but not the essence."
"When encountering things, you only cry and yell at every turn. Where is the emperor's demeanor? Where is the emperor's majesty?"
Emperor Xian of Han opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
At this time, his mood was very complicated.
Yes, when did he start to change?
Where did the courage to scold Dong Zhuo go?
When did he become like this?
Is it because of this reason that Yang Biao, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others think that he is not a real emperor?
But... this is his original appearance.
Seeing that Emperor Xian of Han didn't speak, Dong Cheng knew that his words had deeply touched his soul, so he slowed down his tone and said with a smile:
"Boy, if you don't know, practice more."
"It's not that easy to be an emperor."
If it were before, Emperor Xian of Han would definitely be furious, but now he felt a different taste in his heart after hearing Dong Cheng's words.
Prejudices in people's hearts are like a mountain.
Everyone wants him to be like what he was like when he grew up, and they are unwilling to accept the fact that he has become mediocre.
Perhaps the fake emperor in Yecheng is the emperor that everyone expects and yearns for in their hearts. He must learn from the fake emperor and make changes in the future.
Since the fake emperor can turn the fake into the real, then he can... No, he turns the real into the real, making the real more real!
Try to become a real emperor!
...
The next morning court.
Emperor Xian of Han issued an edict, dismissing all official positions and titles of Yang Biao and Fu Wan on the charge of rebellion against the emperor; at the same time, the queen was said to have behaved improperly and offended the emperor, so she was deposed.
For a moment, the court and the public were shocked.
…
Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao did not enter the palace to attend court today, not because he had something to do, but because he did not dare.
He had made up his mind that he would never step into the palace again.
He was afraid that he would be chopped by the axemen if he entered the palace one day.
However, he still knew the edict issued by Emperor Xian of Han at the court meeting, and felt quite strange while being alert in his heart.
"Why did this fake emperor suddenly depose the queen?"
"This move must have a deep meaning!"
In Cao Cao's eyes, every move of the fake emperor became unfathomable, and this move must be not simple.
Empress Fu must have known the identity of the fake emperor. Last time, she even used her own reputation to guarantee the fake emperor. Why was she suddenly deposed now?
Cao Cao frowned and thought over and over again in his heart.
After a long time, he slammed the table and stood up, finally figuring out the reason.
"Sure enough, these guys are all old foxes, their schemes are too scary, compared to them, I am still too naive!"
"It must be that Empress Fu knew that the fake emperor's affair was exposed, so she deliberately angered the fake emperor and made him depose her, wanting to take this opportunity to escape!"
"The Fu family is really inseparable from the matter of replacing the emperor!"
Cao Cao sneered in his heart, thinking that he had seen through everything.
However, the more Fu Wan wanted to die to show his loyalty, the less he would kill Fu Wan, and he must let this old man live well.
This man, like Yang Biao, is also his trump card for retreat.
...
Yang Mansion.
Xu You walked into Yang Biao's wing room, closed the doors and windows, and asked unhappily: "Where did you find the substitute, and how dare you be so bold?"
"As a fake emperor, he actually had the idea of turning the fake into the real. How did you teach him at that time?"
Han Xiandi's behavior yesterday made him very angry. This was clearly a betrayal of His Majesty!
Yang Biao looked at Xu You in astonishment and asked, "How do you know about this? You were not there yesterday!"
Xu You snorted coldly and said, "Cao Cao and I have been watching secretly. We heard all the conversations between you and the fake emperor... Yang Gong, why would you find such a person to be your Majesty's substitute? The emperor's substitute cannot just be like someone, it must be absolutely loyal! Otherwise, it will easily go wrong."
"I..."
Yang Biao's face was ugly, and he had a lot of bitterness in his heart.
How could he know that this fake emperor dared to do this? This person was not found by him, but by the mysterious person behind the scenes!
But he certainly couldn't say this to Xu You, so he could only change the subject with a gloomy face.
"Now that the incident has happened, let's think about how to deal with it. Do we really have to watch this fake emperor turn fake into real?"
Xu You said: "I plan to write a letter to report this to your majesty and see what your majesty will say... What I am worried about now is whether this fake emperor is secretly winning over forces by using the name of the emperor."
"When your majesty was held hostage by Yuan Shao, he endured and hid his shortcomings, secretly accumulated strength, and finally drove Yuan Shao away and regained power. I am worried that this fake emperor will follow suit."
"At present, the most suspicious person is Xun Yu, who is very likely to have been won over by the fake emperor."
Xu You made a simple analysis, and Yang Biao nodded repeatedly: "You must be more careful about Xun Yu in the future."
Xu You then informed Yang Biao of the imperial edict issued by Emperor Xian of Han in the court today.
"The fake emperor has removed all the titles and official positions of Yang Gong and Fu Wan, and abolished the position of Empress Fu."
Abolish the queen!
Yang Biao raised his eyebrows, and after a simple thought, he came to his senses and cursed in his heart: "I knew it! Fu Wan is closely related to the substitution of the emperor! My Yang family has been the fourth-generation Taiwei, how can this old man not trust me so much!"
Empress Fu had helped this fake emperor to conceal it before, but now she was deposed immediately after discovering that the fake emperor wanted to turn the fake into the real. What does this mean?
It means that Fu Wan knew the identity of the fake emperor from beginning to end.
But this old man has been pretending with him from beginning to end!
After cursing Fu Wan several times in his heart, Yang Biao asked calmly: "How is Fu Gong now?"
Xu You replied: "He was put in jail... Lord Yang, is Fu Wan also an insider? Why haven't I heard you say that before. I was really shocked when he cursed Cao Cao in the palace that day."
Xu You still remembers the scene of Fu Wan pointing at Cao Cao's nose and cursing that day. If he hadn't stopped him desperately that day, Cao Cao would definitely have killed Fu Wan.
But he felt puzzled, Yang Biao did not tell him that Fu Wan was his own.
"Ahem... Ziyuan, why don't you go ask it yourself."
"I can't say much about this matter."
Yang Biao coughed lightly and said vaguely.
Xu You just thought it was inconvenient to say, so he nodded, told Yang Biao to take good care of his body, and then turned and left.
...
Prison.
"Shou'er... was deposed?"
After Fu Wan learned from Xu You that Empress Fu was deposed, he was shocked at first, and then ecstatic!
"Well done! You are worthy of being my daughter. You can think of this way to get out and show your loyalty to His Majesty!"
"It seems that you have always known the identity of this fake emperor... But when did you conspire with Yang Biao? You even kept it a secret from me, your father. It's really hard for me to hide it!"
"If you had told me earlier, how could I risk my life to scold Cao Cao? Alas! This girl is really..."
Since learning the identity of the fake emperor, Fu Wan has never understood why Empress Fu never believed it and even helped the fake emperor to conceal it.
Now I know that Empress Fu has known the identity of the fake emperor for a long time, but she just kept it secret.
Until now, she found out that the fake emperor wanted to turn the fake into the real.
So she got out of it by deposing the queen!
Really smart!
"So Shou'er was also part of your majesty's plan. He endured humiliation like this, which really makes me, as a father, ashamed. But with this contribution, why should my Fu family not prosper?"
Xu You kept watching the changes in Fu Wan's expression. After pondering for a moment, he asked expressionlessly: "Did you do the thing of replacing the emperor?"
Fu Wan came back to his senses, his eyes rolled, thinking about how Empress Fu had endured humiliation for so many years, how could he back down?
Anyway, his daughter was related to this matter, so it was related to him and the Fu family.
So he resolutely admitted this matter!
He looked at Xu You coldly, and said loudly and righteously: "That's right! It was me who did it! You, Cao thief's lackey, what do you want?!"
"If you want to kill me, just kill me! If I frown, it's your father!"
Hearing this, and seeing Fu Wan's heroic death, Xu You understood in his heart.
Fu Wan is indeed one of your own, and is also your Majesty's internal supporter!
There are so many loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty, how can they not be revived?
Due to the large number of people in the prison, Xu You did not dare to reveal his identity, snorted coldly, and left.
…
At the same time, a memorial from Liu Bei was delivered to Yecheng from Yizhou, thousands of miles away.
