Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1046 Changes in the Royal Palace
The wind outside the house picked up. Xun Chen rummaged through the cabinets in the house to find drinking utensils. After working for a long time, he finally found two bowls.

He proudly picked up the bowl and put it in front of Xun Yu, "I'm telling you, how could you not drink? You don't have leisure time at ordinary times."

Xun Yu glanced at the bowl sideways, "This is what I use to season the spices."

Xun Chen just picked up the jug and poured wine into it. His face stiffened when he heard this, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You are awesome."

He looked at the bowl in front of him and suddenly laughed, "What kind of spices can drink to death?"

Then he poured a full bowl of wine, brought it to his mouth and took a big sip, and asked, "It seems to taste pretty good?"

Xun Yu saw it and said helplessly: "The fourth brother is the real one."

"Brother has been to Jizhou for a few years and has changed a lot."

After hearing this, Xun Chen's face showed a hint of disappointment, "Don't mention it."

"You can't understand the feeling of disappointment when you are almost at the top of a mountain, only to fall back to the bottom again."

Xun Yu remained silent. He naturally guessed that Cao Cao was in poor health. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been so eager to carry out a purge and eradicate the forces suspected of opposing Cao's camp. Even some neutral factions were affected. This is obvious. I don't want to leave any trouble.

Xun Yu sighed: "Liu Xuande will be defeated sooner or later."

It was said that Xun Yu thought that he was lucky that he was not dead when Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke. At that time, Cao Cao was going to fight in Jianghuai, so he did not fall out, but he would definitely liquidate them one by one in the future, so he might not be able to escape, right?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu sighed, "The emperor should not be in such a situation."

He lowered his voice and said, "Fifth brother, that person is not in good health recently."

Xun Yu looked lonely, "I haven't even reached the mountainside, so what experience can I have?"

He then sarcastically said: "Fifth brother must have experienced it now."

Xun Yu felt the heat from the brazier in the distance coming towards him, but it seemed that the chill on his body did not diminish at all. "The fourth brother has his own approach, and I also have my persistence."

"The general trend is beyond our control. Isn't it good to live with peace of mind?"

Xun Chen was so angry that he pointed his finger at Xun Yu. He was speechless for a long time, but finally let it go.

Xun Yu has nothing to do for the time being. I am afraid that Cao Cao sees him as having contributed a lot to Cao's camp, but this does not mean that Cao Cao will let him go in the future. He firmly stands on Liu Xie's side and has already blocked Cao Cao from being crowned king. obstacles, many people are waiting for him to die.

"It's a pity that you don't like it."

"You're not involved in anything!" Xun Chen was a little annoyed. "You've been stubborn since you were a child. Why do you still have such a bad temper now?"

Faced with Xun Chen's question, Xun Yu just said lightly: "It's worth it."

"But the whole world has betrayed him, and the princes all want to be self-reliant. If I don't stand by the emperor, who will?"

Xun Chen chuckled, "It's not like there's nothing there, isn't Liu Xuande the one?"

"So you're in danger now."

However, Xun Chen came closer and lowered his voice: "I know what fifth brother is thinking, so why bother?"

"I will put an end to this without involving the Xun family."

"Why do you need to be buried with that person?"

"Do you have to mess with that person?"

"Is it worth it for an empty emperor who has no hope anymore?"

Xun Chen said with a smile on his face, "That's it. Everyone in the world is a traitor now. Don't criticize anyone. I have never seen anyone who can't stand it as much as my fifth brother."

"Actually, if he really wanted to help the Han Dynasty, there was an excellent opportunity earlier, but it was missed. It was when Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to establish a new king and support Liu Yu to ascend to power."

"It's a pity that Liu Yu was unwilling, otherwise the Han Dynasty would not have fallen to such a state."

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it's actually the same."

"Did Yuan Benchu ​​not want to usurp the throne in the end?"

"Isn't he still thinking about taking over Yuan Shu's imperial title?"

Xun Chen chuckled and said, "The two of them have indeed overstepped their bounds, but they are not just creating a second emperor."

"On the contrary, this proves that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's ambitions are not big enough. They only dare to call themselves Emperor Zhong, and they are still under the emperor."

"On the other hand, it is the quiet people who have the greatest ambitions. If you don't want it now, it will be for the sake of having the biggest plans in the future."

Xun Yu replied: "Fourth brother said so, isn't the most ambitious person in the world that fierce tiger?"

"He doesn't even receive the title of Duke of Jicheng. Apparently he has a bigger plan?"

Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly, "Fifth brother is right, that man is extraordinary. Maybe he doesn't pay much attention to the position of emperor."

Xun Yu was stunned, "Is there anyone higher than the emperor?"

Xun Chen thought for a while, "That person saw something different from others."

"If you have met him, you will understand. He has a very high vision, and even I can't look down on him. He just found some very strange people." "But it was those people who successfully laid the foundation for him in just a few years. He has conquered half of the world and is still more powerful than his lord."

"If it weren't for the fierce tiger, I'm afraid my lord would have already unified the Central Plains, right?"

Xun Yu was silent for a while, "After all, we are not on the emperor's side."

Xun Chen was originally here to relieve Xun Yu. When he saw that the other party's worry had eased, he stood up and said, "I can only say this. Fifth brother, you can think about it carefully. It may not be a one-way street."

He stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped again and said, "Fifth brother, you should understand that even if you die, nothing will change."

"If you really want to be loyal to the emperor, you should accompany him until the end."

Xun Yu looked at Xun Chen's leaving figure, wondering who Cao Cao's next target would be.

His worries soon became reality. The person Cao Cao wanted to deal with appeared on the New Year's Eve of the seventh year of Jian'an.

It wasn't Xun Yu, but another person that almost no one had thought of.

Liu Xie was hosting a banquet in his palace to celebrate the New Year with Liu Xing's clan in Xudu. Most of these people were prodigies of the clan or close relatives of the emperor. Liu, Fu De and others were present.

Although everyone's situation has not been good in the past few years, after all, status is important, so on New Year's Eve, everyone was in a better mood than usual, and praised Liu Xie together.

Liu Xie sat at the top and responded one by one. After years of training, his demeanor had become much calmer. In his response to the ministers, he could not tell that he was frustrated and decadent because of Ma Teng's defeat.

However, this short-lived scene of singing and dancing was soon interrupted by the sound of armors clashing and footsteps. Everyone followed the source of the sound and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to find hundreds of fully armed soldiers wearing armors and holding swords, menacingly. The earth surged over!
When Liu Xie saw that the leading man was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's subordinate, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, but he still stood up and shouted: "What do you want?"

Xu Chu asked the soldiers to separate on both sides and make way for the passage in the middle. Then he saw Cao Cao actually walking over.

When Liu Xie saw this, he was angry in his heart. He knew that Cao Cao was always trying his best to undermine his prestige, but he did not expect that the other party would choose today!

He took a step forward and said coldly: "Who is Duke Wei coming to arrest next to me this time?"

Cao Cao Su Rong raised his hand and said, "I came here to get rid of the treacherous villain around Your Majesty. This person confuses Your Majesty with his evil words and encourages ministers who don't know the truth to do evil. He is called Your Majesty, but it is actually for his own selfish gain!"

Liu Xie heard this and sneered: "Oh?"

"Why didn't I know there was such a person around me?"

"Then Duke Wei said, who is this person?"

Cao Cao looked around and finally landed on a person, then slowly raised his hand and said: "That's the person!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Cao Cao's finger, and their expressions changed drastically, because Cao Cao was pointing to Queen Fu behind Liu Xie!

Seeing Cao Cao pointing at her, Fu Shou couldn't help but turn pale and her body trembled slightly. She mustered up the strength to stand up and shouted to Cao Cao: "Wei Gong is so powerful. When did you have the right to deal with me?"

Cao Cao sneered and nodded to Xu Chu. Seeing this, Xu Chu strode towards Fu Shou. Fu De saw him, took the golden gong beside him, stood in front of Fu Shou, and shouted sternly: "Traitor, you dare to offend. Queen, are you going to rebel? "

Xu Chu also grabbed the Changge of the guard beside him and shouted: "Wei Gongqing is on your side, except the witch, no one dares to stop him!"

When he saw Fu De's golden sword pointed at his chest, he was not polite and struck it with a spear. The two soldiers met. The golden sword was just a ceremonial tool and was not powerful enough for Xu Chu. He immediately broke off the sword's head and flew out to hit the pillar of the main hall. Then it bounced onto a palace maid next to her. Blood gushed out immediately, and the palace maid fell to the ground crying.

Fu De staggered back several steps before barely regaining his balance. He turned pale and shouted, "Are you going to regicide in public?"

Xu Chu snorted coldly: "Wei Gong protects the emperor, and eradicates the queen who is deceiving the public with her lies. If you don't get out of the way, I will kill you too!"

At this time Liu Xie finally came to his senses and shouted: "Wei Gong!"

"You want to testify against my queen, do you have any evidence?"

Fu Shou said coldly: "Why did Wei Gong need evidence when arresting people? With so many people dead, how many of them really have evidence?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, of course there is evidence."

Fu Shou's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I would like to listen carefully to what evidence Duke Wei found for me!"

Cao Cao nodded to Chen Lin behind him. Chen Lin could only stand up with an unnatural expression on her face, took out a silk book from her arms, and read it in a dry voice.

Everyone's expressions changed as they listened. It turned out to be a letter written by Fu Shou to his father Fu Wan. It said that he was being oppressed by Cao Cao and could no longer bear it. He hoped that Fu Wan would connect with the ministers and aristocratic families in Xudu who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao. They worked together to kill Cao Cao, eradicate Cao's camp, and help the Han Dynasty.

This letter was written with sincerity, highlighting Fu Shou's unwillingness to face the current predicament and his dissatisfaction with the emperor's situation. It was vivid and lifelike on the paper, and it fit Fu Shou's character so well that everyone immediately recognized that this letter was The letter must have been written by Fu Shou.

Moreover, Fu Shou also had the motive to write this letter. Everyone knew that she was beaten by Cao Pi, so she had enough reasons to hate Cao Cao, so everyone looked extremely ugly, and even Liu Xie couldn't help but turn around. Come, look at Fu Shou with a complicated expression.

Fu Shou met everyone's gaze, but she wanted to laugh in her heart, because she was the only one who understood best that this letter was naturally a fake.

She had doubted her father about the clothing edict back then, so how could she write this letter?
It's just a clumsy frame-up!

But she knew very well that Cao Cao's purpose was to eliminate herself, so she didn't care whether this method was seen by others.

Even if there are people who understand, who would dare to stand up at this time?

In other words, the authenticity of this letter is not important. What is important is that he must die.
