Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281 There are such loyal people in the world
In the Han Dynasty, there were many wild tigers, and it could even be regarded as a serious "tiger disaster". It was not uncommon to see more than a dozen tigers accompanying the shore when sailing along the river.

Therefore, when the convoy that originally delivered the Yuxi met a tiger on the official road in Huainan, it was forcefully described as a warning from God. Most people with some knowledge would not believe it in their hearts. As for whether they believe it or not, you need to see the "butt" .

But the subsequent "Thunder God destroying the bridge" and the "Tiangong sweeping the path" after arriving in Yuzhou are really heart-wrenching.

Looking at the place where the convoy passed, the ice and snow melted, which was really a wonderful sight, and it was not like "thunder destroying the bridge", it was just for a moment, but it could be seen clearly.

In the end, Hua Xin even ordered the "Looking Back Thirty Rod" to calm people's hearts...

It's just that in addition to the ceremonial guards and guards, there are also many people following, and people's hearts have long been disturbed by this scene of "God sweeping away the path"!

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the handful of "literate people" believe it or not. No matter how eloquent they are, they are limited by "common sense" and cannot explain the principles clearly to the people.

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the theory of interaction between heaven and man was popular, the meaning behind this scene was no longer intriguing, but it was blatantly expressing Baitu's "destiny".

Because they have entered Yuzhou, the attitude of the people of the Central Plains towards Bai Tu cannot be said to be resistance - after all, "killing a person is like killing my father" and the reputation of benevolence has been there for many years.

But under Cao Cao's long-term propaganda, Baitu will definitely not be as sacred in the hearts of the people in Yuzhou as it is in Yangzhou...

However, at this moment, countless people in the Runan area also began to doubt—is God really urging Baitu not to send the jade seal back?
Of course, in fact, Baitu didn't do anything, he just sprinkled some special "snow remover".

Later generations of snow removers mostly used industrial chlorine salts due to cost reasons, which are corrosive to road surfaces and tires, and are very harmful to soil.

A moral person like Bai Tu, since it was such a grand occasion as giving away a jade seal, he would naturally sprinkle potash and nitrogen fertilizers at any cost...!
They are all "salt" that can be used directly as fertilizer.

I believe that next spring, the weeds on this official road will be even more lush, and it will be another "good talk"...

Of course, this is purely a gift. Bai Tu is such a pure person. He just did it for the purpose of "not taking credit" and did not tell others. If someone must think in other directions, Bai Tu is not responsible for this. .

In the same way... Bai Tu originally just wanted to set off firecrackers to have fun, but who knew the bridge was so weak!
Fortunately, Bai Tu found such a weak bridge in advance and blew it up. Otherwise, what would happen if people fell into the water in the future?
As a general, a Marquis of Chu, a reincarnated Shennong, and a saint of enlightenment... Bai Tu did what he did without leaving a name for his good deeds.

In fact, this is indeed the case. If there had not been the far-fetched "group of tigers blocking the road" at the beginning, the subsequent "thunder destroying the bridge" would not necessarily be immediately associated with the direction of "blocking the road".

How could it be that some people started spreading rumors among the people, saying that Bai Tu deliberately released the tiger to make people laugh, but instead left a hook in the hearts of the people?

Without the previous foreshadowing, if the snow melted, couldn't it be said that God was rewarding Bai Tu and sending the jade seal back?
However, due to a series of coincidences, the journey back to Yuxi became "thought-provoking".

The people of the Central Plains finally understood what it means to be a loyal minister - is it considered a loyal minister to scold the rebels?No, far from it!

When God was trying to persuade him not to be a loyal minister, Mr. Bai desperately pushed away God's hand. He was tired of life and had to be a loyal minister!

Because people were specially invited to watch, the visions along the way had already spread throughout the world, and countless people were willing to testify about it.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Liu Xie himself, when he heard the news in Xudu's palace, felt sorry for himself, and was moved to tears by Bai Tu and Hua Xin.

Originally, when Cao Cao asked Bai Tu to be awarded Jiuxi, Liu Xie dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

Cao Cao would not go out of his way to take the blame for Bai Tu, so he made it very clear that if Bai Tu doesn't rebel now, he must meet his unreasonable demands...

This disappointed Liu Xie, who mistakenly believed that Bai Tu's previous virtuous reputation was all an illusion. In fact, he was just as ambitious as Cao Cao!
But now, Liu Xie knows that he was wrong...

What kind of white plan coerces the Prime Minister's Office to promote the award of Jiuxi?It must all be Cao Cao’s own idea!

Just to frame a loyal minister and virtuous man like Bai Tu, how shameless was Cao A to hide this from him?
"Your Majesty is moved again?" Liu Ai, who looked kindly in the inner hall, looked at Liu Xie, whose eyes were a little swollen and said.

"Let the emperor laugh. We will go to greet Hua Qing's family tomorrow. The honor guard will be arranged by the emperor." Liu Xie said a little tiredly.

Liu Ai is considered one of Liu Xie's trusted ministers, and he is also from a clan, and he is still the "Zongzheng" of the Liu family.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for tomorrow." Liu Ai said very maturely.

Although he is only in his 30s,... Liu Xie is already childish, and Liu Ai feels that he needs to mature.

Liu Ai also understood why Liu Xie was lack of energy - no matter how miserable Liu Xie was before, he could still fool himself and tell himself: No matter how hard life is, I am the real dragon emperor, and the man is destined by destiny...

But now... God's father slapped him on the face and told him sincerely: You are in foster care, and your whole family is in foster care!
Liu Xie felt bitter...

In the past year, the relationship between Liu Xie and Cao Cao can be said to have taken a sharp turn, cooling down rapidly from the initial honeymoon period.

After all, Liu Xie was helped up by Dong Zhuo from the time he succeeded to the throne. At that time, although the Han Dynasty was in decline, its prestige was still there. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo still behaved like a powerful minister... Deposed Li !
To abolish and establish—that is, to abolish the previous emperor and appoint a new one from among the candidates.

As long as you play well, this is not considered a rebellion. After all, the new emperor is also a member of the old Liu family. At the same time, the emperor's legitimacy is tied to himself, so that the new emperor cannot easily touch him. It can be said that it is inherent in the old school of power. Routine.

After that, from Dong Zhuo to the two thieves Li and Guo, Liu Xie has been hijacked and coerced, and he should be regarded as one of the last emperors with the least trouble...

After being "welcome" by Cao Cao at first, Liu Xie also had expectations for Cao Cao and believed that he was a Han official.

However, when Liu Xie began to want to have his own power, he began to feel the suppression from Cao Cao Group in all aspects!
Since Yang Biao was imprisoned, the relationship between the two parties has begun to turn cold.

Especially last year, Liu Xie did something that made Liu Ai smile bitterly...

After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor back to Xudu, he cared most about "etiquette". After all, only he and his subordinates took the lead in respecting the emperor, and other princes would follow suit. This emperor is valuable, otherwise the majesty of the Han Dynasty was already serious Arrears.

Therefore, Cao Cao took the lead in restoring the ceremony. When he met Liu Xie, he would imitate the ancient generals who were escorted by the emperor and put the sword on his neck to show that he had no reservations.

Of course, Liu Xie didn't dare to really kill Cao Cao, otherwise his personal guards wouldn't be enough to kill Xudu's defenders...

However, Liu Xie had more and more conflicts with Cao Cao. Once, after they met in private and Cao Cao shied away from reorganizing the imperial army, he directly said to Cao Cao: "If you can help me, I will help you. If you don't want to help me, let me go!"

Liu Xie's angry look at that time really made Cao Cao a little scared - after all, the knife was still on his neck.

At the same time, it also made Cao Cao understand something... This guy is just a little kid. Sometimes when he gets emotional, he might forget to analyze the pros and cons.

So from then on, Cao Cao no longer met alone, and at the same time, as if he had made up his mind, even Liu Xie's last "power" began to be gradually deprived of him.

The guards in the palace began to change, and Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others who were close to Liu Xie and had military power began to be forced to leave or suppressed.

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly cold!

Liu Xiecheng was so angry that he cried...

It's a pity that Liu Bang cried for Emperor Chu Yi in front of the people and won the hearts of the people. However, Liu Xie hid in bed and cried with the concubines in the harem, which could only be known to a few relatives who were not successful enough but more likely to be exposed.

Liu Xie's closest wives are Empress Fu and Dong Guiren. Empress Fu's father is Fu Wan, who has failed to achieve anything, and Dong Guiren's father is Dong Cheng, who has failed to accomplish anything...

The former was stubborn and resigned to the end, so much so that Cao Cao couldn't bear to suppress him. The latter... also fantasized about gaining more power by relying on his status as the uncle of the state. He had previously slandered Liu Bei and Bai Tu in front of Liu Xie.

When Liu Ai thought of this person, his head hurt, but Liu Xie really trusted Dong Cheng more before!
But this time...Liu Xie said frankly to Liu Ai: "It seems that Uncle Dong Guo was wrong before, but it was you, Uncle Emperor, who knew loyalty. Mr. Bai...is indeed a rare and loyal person in the world!"

Liu Ai's face froze when he heard this, and he wanted to correct Liu Xie. Before, he only said that Liu Bei was a loyal minister. As for Bai Tu... what he meant was "No matter whether he is loyal or not, he must now be treated as loyal. The Han Dynasty Only then can there be hope."

But thinking about Liu Xie's hard work to correct some positions, it was not the time to correct, so I had to take the opportunity to say one more sentence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are not only Bai Gong, but also loyal officials like Liu Xuzhou. The Han Dynasty can be rejuvenated." of."

After all, based on Liu Xie's experience, he became a puppet emperor under Dong Zhuo's coercion at the age of eight. Dong Zhuo died a few days later, and was later held hostage by Li Jue and Guo Bin... It is not easy to grow mentally and healthily. stand up.

Therefore, Liu Xie is not good at trusting other people, let alone understanding what loyalty means in the "overall situation". He only appreciates Dong Cheng's unabashed loyalty in his heart.

Instead of correcting the difference between "loyalty" and "loyalty", it is better to tell Liu Xie that Bai Tu is a loyal minister and so is Liu Bei. Don't listen to Dong Cheng's blind "beep beep"!
