Chapter 45

Emperor Liu Xie returned to his bedroom accompanied by the yellow gate of the inner palace. What awaited him was not the gentle and considerate empress and imperial concubine who used to be. There were only two two hanging high on the beam of the house and warm corpses.

Cao Ang came to me in shame and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

At this time, Jia Xu walked out of the shadow, and came to me and said, "Empress Fu and Concubine Dong were involved in this chaos. Seeing the incident, they were afraid of the crime. It is better for Mr. Fu to send someone to see it."

He nodded and said, "Then let me work harder for Mr. Lao Wen and I." Jia Xu took the order and took Le in to capture the father-in-law's family.

I rode on the horse before calling Cao Ang to the front and said, "The lord doesn't know his life or death, so go back to the house quickly."

When we returned to Sikong Mansion, the sun had risen to the sky. When Xun Yu saw me, he brought Cao Ang and Cao Pi in, he was comfortable with me to speak in private. After I asked Cao Ang to take Cao Pi to visit Cao Cao, he followed Xun Yu to a place where no one was. Xun Yu said: "The poison in Jiping has been cured. The imperial physician said that the lord is not seriously injured at the moment, but..."

When I heard that Cao Cao had no life, my heart was raised in my throat and returned to my original position, but after hearing the latter half of Xun Yu, I became nervous again.

Xun Yu whispered: "The Imperial Doctor said that the poison has penetrated into the five internal organs of Ming Gong. If you can rest assured, you can maintain your health for ten years, but if you continue to work hard, you may only last three or five years..."

After hearing this, I almost didn't feel angry at that time. I took a deep breath and said, "Do you know your situation?"

Xun Yu said: "My Duke Ming himself asked the imperial physician."

I asked, "Who was there at that time?"

"I have only ordered the Imperial Doctors to destroy the three clans if I dare to spread the word again." Xun Yu said as he pulled me inside: "My Duke told you to see him immediately after you come back."

"I almost forgot." I wanted to go inward after hearing this, but was stopped by him and said, "Your Majesty isn't it difficult for Fengxiao to make things difficult for Your Majesty?"

I suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty went to the palace gate to persuade Wu Zilan and the other two to let go of two young masters. I am not too late to thank you as a minister, so why would you make things difficult for Your Majesty!"

Xun Yu asked again, "Where is Concubine Dong?" A lonely goose was flying through the sky. I looked up at the geese in the clouds and said, "Empress Fu and Concubine Dong forged an edict on his back and forged a letter from his Majesty and his uncle Dong Cheng. He heard that the matter was defeated and he had committed suicide by hanging himself."

"Empress Fu?" Xun Yu's eyebrows stood up at that time, but immediately returned to his usual expression and said, "Mr. Ming has three daughters serving Your Majesty in the palace." These words seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be talking to me.

When I arrived in the bedroom, I saw Cao Cao's eyes sinking, his face turned blue and leaning against the bed. Although his expression was haggard, it was much stronger than in the morning. When Cao Cao saw me coming in, he raised his finger and pointed to the bed.

I walked a few steps to Cao Cao, and my eyes were blurred. Cao Cao smiled hard and said, "Bong Xiaoxiu is going to be a child, and Meng De also wants to thank you for saving you again."

"Master!" I knelt down in front of the couch and blamed myself: "Jia is too careless and has caused this disaster. Please punish me."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Zi Xiu, why don't you help your master up quickly."

With Cao Ang's support, I sat next to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao signaled Xun Yu to sit down near and said, "You did a good job, and did not cause any major turmoil in Xu Du. Cough... Please take a look at the people who murdered me, cough..."

I hurriedly said, "It's better to deal with these people when the lord recovers."

Xun Yu also said: "Fengxiao said it well, so it is better for Ming Gong to interrogate him and then deal with it.

Cao Cao said: "Don't shirk it anymore, cough..., cough..."

After a severe cough, Cao Cao continued: "Meng De was just a foolish man, and he began to be a filial and honest man. Later, he was in chaos in the world and built a temple in Qiaodong. He thought about studying in spring and summer, hunting in autumn and winter, and was originally planning to wait until the world was peaceful before he became an official in the court. Unexpectedly, the court conquered me as the lieutenant of the military school. Since then, my ambition was to fight for the country and make meritorious contributions. After death, I was asked to write a tomb passage saying: "The tomb of Cao, the former general of the Han Dynasty, who conquered the Western Army." Cough...

, But I didn't give it to me at the time, and the general He Jin was incompetent, which led to the old thief Dong Zhuo's chaos. From Chenliuxing Yi soldiers to now welcoming the emperor to Xudu, for several years, I asked myself that he is worthy of heaven, kings and country, and people of the land. Now he is misunderstood by the people of the world. The court regards me as Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang, cough... Some people even say that I am the prime minister of Han, but I am actually a thief of Han, but... I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than to betray me. Cough..."

When I heard this, I cannot help but admire Lao Luo, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The word "negative" in Cao Cao's famous saying should be used as a burden and a burden. Because Lao Luo cleverly put this sentence out of Cao Cao's mouth after killing, the taste completely changed. As far as I think, let's not talk about Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others. Before the decisive battle with his biggest enemy, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao would never say such a heartless word, right?

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Cao Cao continued, "When today is falling apart, my ambition is 'Six Kings, one in the four seas'. Although this time, I am still powerless, and I hope both of my ambitions can bear it in the future!"

This sentence scared Xun Yu and I and knelt down and said, "We are so proud of ours, I dare not take on this important task. Lord (Ming) should choose someone else!"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Ruo and Fengxiao are both well aware of the way to protect their subordinates, but this is not what Meng De tests the two gentlemen. Don't be suspicious, get up and speak quickly!"

After we sat down, Cao Cao continued, "I am young and enjoyed traveling. I am also an official in the Eastern Capital. From the top to the nobles, from the poor people, I have countless people. Only two gentlemen can not understand. Wen Ruo's talent is not much more than Zifang, and his nature is humble and stable. Therefore, I always leave you in the fundamental place whenever I go to the expedition, but the place where Wen Ruo cannot see clearly is above the 'human' and 'stability'. When Wen Ruo was in power, the princes were everywhere, and Cao was a small army among the princes, and Yanzhou was also a place for four battles. Wen Ruo abandoned Yuan Shao and surrendered to me, which made me always suspicious."

"And it is even more unpredictable to filial piety. The plan you made seems dull and absurd. However, after careful observation, it is unpredictable to gods and ghosts. Even if Sun Wu is born again, it is just like this."

"Wenruo recruited many famous and famous scholars for my use, and was regarded as a stone of advancement by wealthy families; Fengxiao would place the soldiers of the army all over the army, and even the personal soldiers who guarded me were mostly soldiers of Fengxiao. Wenruo had deep relationships with the royal family; Fengxiao would spread far and wide between the poor and the people."

"You two are good at attacking, one is good at defending, one is good at attracting the great surname, and one is conquering the people. If you have one person to assist, you can pacify the world and become the emperor's hegemony."

"It is precisely because of the two who have applied for me that I have the ambition to 'sweep the world'. But because of the two gentlemen, Meng De was happy and often worried, and he was full of doubts about the two gentlemen, but he had to use them. Therefore, I dare not slack off in the political affairs, for fear that I would be plotted against by the two of them if I was not careful. Cough..."

"For several years! With my guardianship everywhere, Wen Ruo and Fengxiao gave me advice without any desire or demand, and repeatedly saved Cao Mengde from danger. Someone can have a place that owns a state today and uses the emperor to command the princes, and both of them have made great contributions."

Xun Yu and I looked at each other, wondering why Cao Cao said these words to both of us after he was poisoned by the huge poison.

Cao Cao supported his body with both hands and said, "After today's major changes, I am already powerless. Wen Ruo should have told Feng Xiao about the words of the imperial physician. So I want to entrust the major affairs of the military and political affairs to both of you. I hope Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao should not refuse!" I was dizzy! How could I listen to it? It seems that I want to take the lives of Xun Wenruo and me! I looked at Cao Ang standing next to me and wanted to say... But first, Cao Cao has not passed away, and second, I am Cao Ang's master, so it's better not to say this.

When Xun Yu saw my embarrassed expression, he said, "Ming Gong, it is better for the eldest son to preside over the situation in Yanzhou before his health is good."

After hearing this, I nodded in a hurry and said, "Wenruo said it well, I can wait and help."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "If the world is settled, it is impossible to let Zixiu sit in my seat. But now Yanzhou is surrounded by enemies, and the princes are even more obsessed with the emperor. Cao Ang was young and not enough to shock the world. Only two dukes, one with wealthy families and the other with the help of the people, and at the same time, the soldiers under his command were convinced by the two dukes. Only two dukes can deal with the current situation and the conquest of Xuzhou must not be stopped because of me. Yuan Rang, Zi Lian, Zi Xiao, and Miaocai are my relatives, but it is okay to charge forward. If they are one prince, they will sooner or later die. So please ask the two dukes to agree to this matter!"

My mind was turning urgently: "God made a joke with me. It is already the limit to be an assistant with my ability. Now Cao Cao actually proposed that Xun Yu and I take charge of all military and political affairs together. Moreover, although Cao Cao has been rescued, his health is not good. Although the imperial physician said that he would have ten years to survive, who knows whether the imperial physician had to deal with the murder in front of him in order to save his life and said such a thing. Maybe in two years, Cao Cao would... So is Cao Cao's words now heartfelt words, or is it a temptation to worry that he could not handle the government affairs and was usurped by the throne and seize power after we were afraid that he would not be able to handle the government affairs?"

"If it's true, then I really cannot help but admire Cao Cao. He is not only cruel to the enemy, but also to himself. After years of hard work, the favorable situation has finally been achieved. If the attack on Lu Bu was stopped because of his physical condition. Then, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and Sun Ce will attack from all directions, and Cao Cao will definitely face a dilemma of waiting for death. So at this critical moment, he will risk the two most strategic advisers under his command to take the risk of taking over the power."

"But if this is not the truth! I'm afraid that someone would come from outside and kill us both on the spot just after we nodded!"

Xun Yu probably had the same idea as me, and he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing that neither of us spoke, Cao Cao took out his Sikong seal from his arms and said, "Meng De asked the two men to take the seal."

A light suddenly flashed in my mind. I stood up and stood in front of the couch and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "I can't accept this seal or ribbon. Jia has a plan to allow the lord to still control Yanzhou during rest."

After hearing this, Cao Cao opened his eyes wide and asked, "What are the plans for filial piety?"

I said: "The lord can set up a house of silence while resting! The House of Representatives is divided into two houses. Ten or fifteen people in the House of Representatives are joined by the person designated by the lord, named ‘members of the House of Representatives’, and sixty or ninety-five people in the House of Representatives. The ‘members of Representatives’ in the House of Representatives are selected from the officials of various places, and they are called ‘members of the House of Representatives’. Each ‘members of Representatives’ can nominate six or nine people. After obtaining the consent of the majority of ‘members of Representatives’, they can become ‘members of the House of Representatives’. The upper and lower houses are responsible for handling daily government affairs, but the members of the House of Representatives have no real power.”

Xun Yu asked: "How can we deal with government affairs without real power?"

I said: "Although there is no real power, it has the right to draft and decide. All things of all sizes must be discussed and drafted by the House of Commons and voted by the House of Commons first and then sent to the House of Commons for voting. Most members of the House of Commons can agree to the agreement before they can be implemented. However, it is not necessary to be implemented after passing the vote. Anyone who is a member of the House of Commons feels that there is something wrong with the House of Commons, they can ask the lord for instructions after the decree is passed. At the same time, the lord can also jointly draft the lord by more than three people and more than one person can first be passed by the House of Commons, and then reported to the Lord for recognition before they can be implemented. And if the lord finds that the House of Commons cannot draft and vote well, the lord can dissolve the lord. Similarly, if the lord is not satisfied with the House of Commons, it can also be dissolved. Does the lord think it is feasible?"

Cao Cao looked at me in surprise after hearing this and said for a while: "The 'Upper and Lower Houses' were the 'Parliament' written by Feng Xiao in the early years?"

I said, "Although it is not exactly the same, it is not much different."

Xun Yu asked, "With Xiaoyan, this House of Representatives can preside over government affairs, so how should military affairs be handled?"

I said: "You can set up another 'Military Commission' by imitating the 'District House', but there are not many people. The participants call it 'Committee', and the lord is the head of the MC, so he is called 'Chairman'."

Speaking of this, I almost spoke the three words Chiang Kai-shek with my mouth.
