Three Kingdoms

Is Wang Can smarter than Xun Yu, Guo Jia, or anyone else?

not necessarily.

It can only be said that Wang Can was not bad in general, but it was a bit difficult to suppress Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others militarily or strategically.

However, what happened before was not a military arrangement or a conflict of strategies, but a superficial attempt to cover up what was hidden.

Just like hiding an object or concealing a piece of information, it is relatively easy to hide it, but it is not easy to find it, such as a sock stuffed in the corner at some time...

What's more, Wang Can's behavior is very confusing.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a conspiracy.

It is obvious that Cao Cao cannot take the problem of the three Yuan brothers lightly. As soon as Wang Can throws it out, Xun Yu and others must deal with it, and it is absolutely impossible to take the lead.

Do you want to stop it? I tried it in the court, but it doesn't hold up theoretically.

There is nothing wrong with Cao Cao "stealing the emperor to win over his disobedient", but what if this "disloyal" wants to abandon the dark side and join the bright side and change his camp?

According to Wang Can's tone, the three Yuan brothers are just children. Even if they are naughty and mischievous, they are still children...

Yes, folk wisdom is so reasonable. Xun Yu was speechless in the end and could only use other methods to solve the problem of "Yuan's three naughty children".

But if this happens, there will be many follow-up things...

Everyone thinks that the three Yuan brothers will not surrender, but what if there is one?

Second, if the three Yuan brothers really surrender, they will not surrender to Cao Cao, but to Han Emperor Liu Xie. In this case, haha...

As for the third aspect, since the Yuan family can surrender to Cao Cao, they can also surrender to Fei Qian. Is it true that the court represented by Cao Cao is a big man, and Fei Qian, the general of the cavalry, is not a big man? If that situation really arises and Yuan's naughty boy changes the flag on the city wall, will Lao Cao fight or not?

In addition, Wang Can is indeed here to cause trouble. With a few words, he simply puts Cao Cao on the opposite side of morality. After all, Confucianism often talks about how knowing one's mistakes can lead to great improvements. It seems that Cao Cao is ruthless, unreasonable and does not care about anything. Until death...

When Wang Can said a lot of Yuan's naughty things, everyone's attention was naturally attracted. One thing was missed by Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others...

What was it about Wang Can that Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others missed?

That's right, it's that Guangwu statue.

Although Emperor Guangwu was already a figure a hundred or two hundred years ago, he was still the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty after all, and he at least wanted to give it to Liu Xie for a look. So it is naturally impossible that this little statue of Guangwu doesn't exist yet. Before meeting Liu Xie, or in front of everyone in the court, he dismantled the statue into pieces and reduced it to human form...

If someone really does this, I'm afraid Liu Xie will fall out no matter how much he can bear it. It's like later generations talk in private and no one cares, but if the discussion about Taizu is made public, then only the word "haha" will be left.

This is political correctness. In addition, Xun Yu and Guo Jia originally focused on Wang Can and did not pay special attention to the Guangwu statue brought by Qiao Bing until Wang Can met Liu Xie. When everyone felt that something was still a little strange, Guo Jia once again sorted out all the matters, and suddenly found that everyone seemed to have ignored the statue.

Guo Jia thought that Jiang Ji had checked all the items, but Jiang Ji only said that he had checked the tributes and personnel. Xun Yu thought that Wang Can was mainly responsible, so he made arrangements at the court meeting. Cheng Yu stared at Qiao Bing. Xiahou Dun was responsible for watching over the accompanying hussar soldiers who came this time...

When the fog dissipates, the only thing left is the most suspicious target. It is naturally easy to think about things afterwards, but it is difficult beforehand.

But the problem now is that the statue of Guangwu has been sent to the palace...

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Only Guo Jia gave Xun Yu a questioning look.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Guo Jia sighed softly and said nothing more.

……（；￣ェ￣）……

When Liu Xie returned to the harem, he could not help but feel unhappy and unhappy.

The palace maid offered honey water, Liu Xie took a sip, put it down, and waved her hand to make the attendants retreat.

At today's court meeting, Wang Can suddenly mentioned the matter of the Yuan family's third son, which surprised Liu Xie somewhat. After all, this matter...

Could it be the instructions from the hussar general?

Liu Xie couldn't help but frown, and walked around the harem twice with his hands behind his back, but he had no clue.

Liu Xie encountered some difficulties before, and he could still discuss it with Fu Wan, but now...

"Who can share my worries with me..."

Liu Xie whispered to himself.

After walking around for two more times, Liu Xie suddenly remembered the statue of Guangwu, so he called Xiaohuangmen and asked him to hold the brocade box containing the statue of Guangwu all the way to the Ancestral Temple where Guangwu's tablet was enshrined.

The original Ancestral Temple in Luoyang has been destroyed, and now the newly built Ancestral Temple in Xu County only enshrines the Guangwu lineage, without adding the lineage of Liu Bang...

Liu Xie took the statue of Guangwu from Xiaohuangmen. It was a little heavy, but it was a small model after all, so Liu Xie could hold it. He took it out of the brocade box, placed it on the sacred table, and then moved the tablet. , took a step back, looked around, then stepped forward to adjust, and finally sighed slightly.

Liu Xie looked at the brocade box containing the statue again. It was a very ordinary long box made of red lacquer. It contained nothing but a layer of brocade...

Liu Xie sighed and sat down on his knees.

Normally, a statue of Guangwu like this should first be calculated on an auspicious day, and then fast for three days and hold a series of ritual celebrations before it is placed in the Ancestral Temple.

But the question is, is Liu Xie's current state a normal emperor?

Obviously, not really.

Even this simple Ancestral Temple did not go through any special celebrations. The altar was just built like this, and then the tablets were just put in. So what big deal is the addition of a new statue of Guangwu?

Just like Liu Xie himself...

Liu Xie put on the incense, looked up at the statue, and said in a low voice: "I...I don't have the throne of emperor at all...Although I was born as an emperor, grew up in the royal family, and the bells ring and the cauldrons eat...but I don't covet the throne of emperor. Just wish you could live to the end of your life..."

"Unexpectedly..." Liu Xie let out a long sigh, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "Life in this world is like a cloud of smoke, fleeting... Although I am the emperor, I call him long live, haha, Long live, long live... who can live long? What's more, under the alchemy level, the ministers have different intentions, and they are not as good as before..."

"Being born into the royal family is a blessing, but misfortunes also depend on it..." Liu Xie murmured, "Back then I left Luoyang and went to the pass, without food or clothing... and then... …”

"Alas..." Liu Xie looked at the statue of Guangwu and sighed, "The only one who is loyal to me is Wang Situ. It's a pity that he was killed by the soldiers, and the two generals Huangfu and Zhu didn't live long... All the people who came after him... They are so domineering, they follow the positive and the negative, and even..."

"Emperor, what is the emperor?" Liu Xie smiled, but there was some bitterness in his smile.

Logically speaking, Liu Xie should be at a good age now, and he should even be fearless. He talks about the past and the present, is full of pride, and has great ambitions. However, Liu Xie encountered bad things at a good age. While forging ahead, he encountered an unlucky environment. He was homeless, frightened, and more importantly, mentally helpless...

The only good thing is that I have suffered more and experienced more things, so I understand some political methods. Compared with the confusion when I came to Luoyang Chang'an, I have made some progress.

But knowing more is not necessarily a good thing for Liu Xie.

After coming to Xu County and going through a series of lives, Liu Xie felt more and more that as time went by, as Cao Cao's achievements became greater and his reputation became higher and higher, problems would arise sooner or later. Now Cao Cao is already in charge of the power of the court, but he is still like a puppet. If this continues, the world may no longer have the surname Liu one day...

When the time comes, how will I deal with myself?

demise?

hehe……

When Wang Mang gave way, he also gave in. I think that back then, Ru Ziying had not officially enthroned Zuo, and as the crown prince, he abdicated to Wang Mang, was granted the title of Duke Anding, and lived steadily from the age of four to twenty. In the end, it was not Wang who killed him, but Liu Xuan. It's funny to say that he could survive given his last name, but he was brutally killed by his own family...

But I don’t know who the next “Guangwu” will be?

Liu Xie sighed again, stood up, looked at the Guangwu statue, and suddenly felt that the statue seemed to be slightly skewed. He moved forward and moved it, and found that it was still a little skewed. He suddenly felt unhappy, frowned and moved the statue up again. Looking at the base, my expression suddenly moved!

The base of the statue is actually loose...

Maybe it moved a lot during the transportation, or maybe it wasn't installed firmly in the first place, so there seemed to be some gaps between the statue and the base. Naturally, when it was placed on the statue, it looked a little skewed. But it was always placed in the brocade box before, so naturally no one noticed this.

This is……

Liu Xie reacted, then held the statue in his arms and tried to remove the base.

The base was stuck into the statue. Although it looked like there was a gap, it was not easy to pull it out. Liu Xie twisted and pulled it, and even almost lost his grip and dropped the statue to the ground. It took him a long time to finally pull it out. The base was removed from under the statue, revealing a hole.

Liu Xie looked at it and vaguely saw something. He reached in and hooked it, and then pulled out a piece of brocade silk from the hole of the statue little by little. His eyes couldn't help but condense!

Wang Can, Wang Zhongxuan...

Or a hussar general?

Liu Xie stretched out his head to look at the soldiers guarding the Ancestral Temple and the Xiaohuang Gate. He frowned slightly, then put the brocade silk into his arms, straightened the clothes and crown that were askew due to pulling on the statue, and then put them away again. The statue was placed back on the base, then placed back on the altar. After another bow, he left the Ancestral Temple and returned to the harem.

Outside the Ancestral Temple, silence returned.

After about an hour, four replacement soldiers came and replaced the soldiers who were originally on duty around the Ancestral Temple. After the original soldiers left, the new soldiers on duty looked at each other, and then two of them quietly entered the Ancestral Temple...

After a while, the people who entered came out with gloomy expressions and exchanged glances...

……?(￣△￣?)……

The brocade is not big and the number of words is not many.

After Liu Xie returned to the harem, he avoided the crowd and finished reading it quickly. However, after reading it, he did not look relieved, but instead fell into more thoughts.

What is written on the brocade silk is very simple, but Liu Xie thinks it is not simple.

Liu Xie remembered that when Dong Cheng was still there, he seemed to have told him that Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan were dead, but now, not only was Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan not dead, but he also sent such a message on behalf of General Fei Qian. A statue of Guangwu!

So, Dong Cheng made a mistake back then?

Or maybe Wang Can faked his death to escape?

Now Liu Xie cannot go to Dong Cheng for verification, so he can only rely on his own consideration and judgment. Wang Can seemed to have been an official in the court. If it was indeed Dong Cheng who made a mistake, why didn't Wang Can show up later? He did not follow him to Xu County, but went to General Hussar...

Therefore, Wang Can must have faked his death back then!

So the next question is that Wang Can faked his death. Was it Wang Can’s original intention or the general’s intention?

Although this brocade was written in Wang Can's tone and identity, does it also represent the instruction of General Fei Qian?

General Hussar really wants King Qin? Is he really a loyal minister with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, a rare man in the world?

Or does it have some other purpose?

Yes, General Hussar's troops are in Heluo. Yes, you can reach Xu County in the morning and evening after leaving Hangu Pass. This is also correct, but will everything go smoothly?

The most ideal result is that the hussar generals will approach the city, and then Li and Guo will come to Chang'an just like they did...

Liu Xie suddenly thought of Wang Yun, and recalled that he saw Wang Yun on the top of Chang'an City like a withered flower, falling from the top of the city, blooming with overwhelming blood, drowning Liu Xie himself...

Liu Xie closed his eyes and sighed slightly.

Although Wang Yun seemed to have some shortcomings, Wang Yun finally regarded Liu Xie as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and truly regarded him as the emperor's, rather than a puppet placed on the Dan level.

Puppet, haha, puppet...

Then, follow the Hussars General to Chang'an? Can he no longer be a puppet?

The first time I met Hussar, he was not a Hussar at that time, but a young official. In that bloody night, there was a little warmth...

That night was the closest moment, and then it seemed to be getting further and further away.

Fei Qian became General Zhonglang, then General Zhengxi, and now, General Hussar of the Han Dynasty...

And since that night of blood and fire, when I became a puppet above the Great Han Dan level, I have always been a puppet, always.

Should I trust General Hussar? Although it is said that the central court and local governments respect and support each other, which will have a very important stabilizing effect on the entire dynastic structure system, the question is, how to establish a bridge of trust between the central and local governments?

Can you believe it?

Liu Xie's questions kept rolling around, but none of them had an answer.

Liu Xie once believed that he could restore the order of the Han Dynasty when he arrived in Luoyang. However, after arriving in Luoyang, he was hungry and cold. The officials even had to suffer under the ruins of the ruins and had to go out of the city to collect firewood to survive...

Maybe Wang Can couldn't stand it any longer, so he faked his death and escaped.

Liu Xie chuckled, his eyes slightly cold.

Then Cao Cao came. After a serious discussion, Liu Xie believed in Cao Cao and felt that Cao Cao was a capable minister who could help the country, with both ability and loyalty...

Then what?

My poor son, I can't even take a look at this filthy world...

A wave of hatred surged up in Liu Xie's heart, causing Liu Xie's body to tremble slightly.

I have never harmed anyone in my life! I dare not say that I am a good emperor, but I am at least a good person, a good person!

But why are you treating me like this! Is it wrong for me to be a good person? !

Why!

At the Luoyang Ancestral Temple, Liu Xie could still wave the Sword of ZTE left by Dong Zhuo and roar to the sky, but now he can only tremble silently, swallowing the pain in his chest and abdomen, and roaring in his throat again, Press it down again.

So, what should I do this time?

There was silence all around the apse, as if even the wind had stopped.

Liu Xie seemed to have an answer in his mind, but it seemed that there was no answer at all...
