Chapter 44: The Heart of the Emperor

After many arguments, everyone turned their eyes to me who was standing in the middle of the hall. At this time, I completely lost my calmness and my mind was almost blank. In the past, Cao Cao was in the middle of the country and I said a few words when I wanted to speak, and shut up and stirred up my fan if I didn't want to speak.

But now that he has become the backbone of everyone, I can't help but stop talking. I tried to make myself confident and hold everything in my hands and said, "Everyone, listen to my orders now. Wen Ruo and General Miaocai stayed to take care of the lord, Mr. Wenhe, General Yuan Rang and General Wen Qian followed me to the palace to save the two young masters."

I took Jia Xu and Xiahou Dun, Le Jin and the five hundred Cao soldiers hurried to the palace. Halfway through the journey, I said to Jia Xu, "I heard that Wen He had kindness to His Majesty when he was in Xidu?"

Jia Xu replied: "That's just the duty of a minister, and I dare not say that there is any kindness."

I said, "I don't know what Wenhe feels after seeing this thing?" As he said that, he took out a bloody edict from his arms and handed it to him.

After looking at it, Jia Xu returned it to me, just said, "Some people don't know the current affairs!" Then he stopped talking.

The palace was right in front of me, and I saw a large group of people in front of the palace gate from afar. I turned my head and said, "Let's go in through the side door."

Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han in the palace, heard the chaos outside early in the morning, so he sent someone to check it out. Not long after, the confidant eunuch returned with a bruised nose and swollen face and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Sikong's subordinates surrounded the palace and refused to go out... They beat the ministers... Long live to make a decision for the young!"

Emperor Xian Liu Xie was already in a mess at this time, but he still comforted him. Empress Fu and Concubine Dong came to the emperor one after another. Liu Xie said to them: "You go and make some arrangements immediately, maybe I will move the capital again!"

Suddenly, he heard the noise outside. Liu Xie, who was suffering from chaos, walked out of the inner room and said, "Who is trespassing the palace!"

I looked at this young emperor who was unwilling to accept the demise of the Han Dynasty and had the ambition to revive it, and couldn't help but feel sympathy and regretful. I sympathized with him that he couldn't see the situation clearly, and regretful that he could see it too clearly! I coughed and walked up to him and said, "My teacher Guo Jia has seen Your Majesty."

Liu Xie knew me. When he saw that it was Cao Cao's capable subordinates coming, he didn't bother to blame me for not kneeling down and said, "It turned out to be Guo Aiqing. I heard that my aunt returned to her hometown to recuperate..."

"Your Majesty!" I interrupted Liu Xie's polite words without hesitation and went straight to the point and said, "A minister was deceived and the two young masters who had taken Lord Sikong Cao hostage to cause trouble in front of the palace. Please follow me."

Several Cao soldiers went to set up the emperor like wolves and tigers. Empress Fu and Concubine Dong screamed. I gritted my teeth and said to Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe, let's take care of the two empresses!"

The poisonous soldier Jia Xu nodded indifferently and asked someone to pick up two pieces of white silk.

Politics is cruel, and I have become more and more cruel. Looking at Liu Xie’s helpless eyes, I have no sympathy for the past. I brought the emperor to the palace gate. After Wei Yan came to the greeting, he said, “The two young men were held hostage by Wu Zilan, Zhong Ji and Wu Shuo. They said that if they didn’t open the door, they would kill the second young men first.”

I said to Liu Xie: "I asked Your Majesty to announce the imperial edict, and I said that they were deceived and asked them to release the two young masters immediately."

Emperor Xian Liu Xie solemnly tidied up the messed-up imperial robe, and walked up the steps and came to the palace gate.

Wu Zilan, Zhong Ji, when Wu Shuo saw the emperor coming, he knelt down before the palace gate after a burst of cheers and shouted loudly: "I am hereby ordered to kill the thief and protect the robbers."

Emperor Xian Liu Xie said calmly: "Whose three beloved ministers have received the edict?"

Wu Zilan shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! I have followed the blood edict you have delivered to Dong Guojiu. Now Cao's thief is still poisoned, and his two sons are in my hands. Please open the palace gate and follow me..."

"Stop!" Emperor Xian Liu Xie pointed to the three people kneeling in front of the door and shouted: "What blood edict is there? Sikong Cao Cao is my arm and a good minister of the Han Dynasty. How could I pass on an edict to harm him? Dong Cheng was the uncle of the country, but he actually forged an edict to deceive the ministers. He announced his edict to immediately remove Dong Cheng's title, and his whole family was executed, and the three clans were killed!"

The Cao soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's wise!"

"And the three beloved ministers are just blinded," Emperor Xian Liu Xie continued: "As long as the three beloved ministers release Cao's two young masters, I will make excuses for the three beloved ministers in front of Cao's love."

After hearing the emperor's words, the three ministers seemed to be struck by lightning. They were stunned at first and then cried loudly, looking at the emperor pointing at their hands in a daze. A scar on one finger that had not yet healed was in their eyes. The three of them stood up in tears. People always had to make excuses for their behavior. Sometimes they knew it was just a lie to deceive themselves. Wu Zilan said in pain: "Cao's thief must have threatened His Majesty with the safety of their lives. You and I are loyal ministers in the court. You and I cannot ignore the emperor's danger and let Cao's thief go..."

Emperor Xian Liu Xie, who was above the palace gate, urged impatiently: "Why don't you release someone quickly!"

Zhong Ji stomped his feet hard and said, "My heart is dead, I will take the first step, two sirs!" After that, he was about to hold his sword and commit suicide.

The gate of the palace was creaking and opened at this time. The three of them were stunned and looked up and saw a person coming out of it. It was not someone else but me - Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!

As early as the emperor climbed to the palace gate, I expected this ending. The emperor betrayed one or two ministers, and this was not the first time Emperor Xian of Han did such a thing. So when I heard the emperor urged the three ministers below to release them, I asked someone to open the palace gate.

Xiahou Dun, Wei Yan, and Le Jin led the soldiers behind me to guard me. After I walked out of the palace gate, I looked up at the high emperor and looked at the three ministers who were crying and said, "Three sirs, don't commit suicide!"

Zhong Ji said in a state of silence: "Can you leave a life for you to insult you wantonly!"

I smiled and said, "The emperor was blinded by his young and ignorant person, but the three adults were loyal people. If he left like this, he would not let the court down, but... he would not let the emperor down?"

After hearing my words, the three of them looked up at the emperor on the gate tower, and suddenly realized that the person standing above was not the emperor who gave the heavens, but just a person wearing the emperor's clothes!

I continued, "The three lords are not only innocent, but also have great achievements. I would suggest that Lord Sikong let the three be with His Majesty to accompany and teach, so as not to do such a hurtful thing because of his youth and ignorance. I wonder what the three lords think? "

If people have hope, they will survive, and I believe the three of them will be no exception.
