Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 120 Worldwide Attention, Crisis of Fake Emperor's Identity Leaked (15)

There are not many families in the world that can compare with the Yuan family.

But the Kong family is definitely among them.

Kong Rong is the 20th generation grandson of Confucius. In terms of family origin and heritage, there is probably no family in the world that can compare with his.

The mere title of being a descendant of Confucius is enough to crush everyone!

Kong Rong was known as a child prodigy when he was young. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he was appointed to the office of Minister of the Interior Yang Ci. At the beginning of the Zhongping period, he ranked high and became Imperial Censor. Later, he was appointed to the office of the Minister of Works as an official, and was appointed as the General of the Central Army. He was later promoted to the rank of General of the Huben Army.

In the first year of Chuping, because he offended Dong Zhuo, he was transferred to be a counselor and sent to Beihai County, where the Yellow Turban Army was most powerful, to serve as prime minister. He was known as Kong Beihai.

Whether in terms of background, morals or qualifications, Kong Rong was impeccable. Coupled with the halo of being a descendant of Confucius, he was even better than Yuan Shao!

"it is good!"

"Kong Beihai is totally suitable!"

"good!"

"Excellent!"

Yang Xiu's proposal was immediately unanimously agreed upon by Xun Yu and others.

At this point, there was no one in the entire Han Dynasty more suitable than Kong Rong.

Cao Cao also thought Kong Rong was suitable. Seeing that all his trusted advisers had no objection, Cao Cao was very excited and said, "I will go to see the emperor and ask him to issue an edict to order Kong Rong to come to Xu County to meet him!"

As long as he gets Kong Rong's recognition, Yuan Shao will not be a concern at all.

Four generations of three dukes and Lu Bu’s recognition combined cannot compare to the weight of Confucius’ descendants!

……

Without any surprise, the imperial edict that Cao Cao requested from the emperor was issued on the spot, and this time even Yang Biao did not object.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the emperor.

Even though Yang Biao did not like Cao Cao, he had to admit that if he did not find a way to prove himself, the emperor would really be replaced by someone else.

The best solution at the moment is to let Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius with great prestige, confirm the emperor's identity to the people of the world!

On the same day, the imperial edict was issued from Xudu and sent to Beihai.

At the same time, Cao Cao also cooperated to build momentum.

He ordered people to spread the news that Kong Rong was coming to Xu County and spread it to all states and counties.

For a time, it attracted worldwide attention.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had been arguing for a long time over the issue of the real and fake emperor, and this was known to everyone in the world.

But no one dared to conclude which of the two emperors was real and which was fake.

The princes in each state who had their own troops all cursed when they heard the news.

Originally, he could have used the excuse that there were two emperors and he didn't know whose orders to obey, in order to avoid Cao Cao and Yuan Shao using the emperor to control the princes.

But once Kong Rong identified the authenticity of the emperor and spread it to the world, they would lose this excellent shield.

Compared with the various princes, the common people did not have their worries and were discussing the matter in private.

"What is Cao Cao planning to do? He invited Kong Beihai to Xu County to meet the fake emperor. Isn't he afraid of being exposed on the spot?"

"Aren't you trying to win over Kong Beihai to help deceive me?"

"Kong Beihai is a descendant of Confucius, he has great prestige and he is upright, how could he help deceive others?"

"I also believe in Kong Beihai's character."

"Cao Cao is so confident, could it be that the Emperor of Xu County is real?"

"The imperial seal is in Yecheng, the emperor of Xu County must be a fake!"

“Originally, I also thought that the emperor in Yecheng was real, but now… let’s see whether Kong Beihai goes to Xu County.

Kong Rong's influence is still enormous.

After the news spread, many people who originally believed that the emperor was in Yecheng began to waver.

When Yuan Shao learned the news, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.

"Did Cao Aman really go to invite Kong Rong from Beihai?"

Shen Pei nodded and said, "The news from Qingzhou says that Cao Cao submitted a petition to the emperor, ordering Kong Rong to go to Xu County. The news has spread."

"However, Cao Cao pretended to be the emperor and dared to let Kong Beihai go. I don't know where he got the confidence from... Why is the lord so panicked?"

Shen Pei noticed the panic on Yuan Shao's face and was very confused.

The emperor of Xu County is a fake. Isn’t it a good opportunity for Kong Rong to expose Cao Cao’s lies by going there?
Why is my lord so flustered?

In addition to Shen Pei, Tian Feng, Xu You and others also looked at Yuan Shao with some confusion.

Yuan Shao realized that he had lost his composure and was so panicked that he didn't know how to explain it.

Ju Su came out to rescue them in time and said solemnly, "Although the emperor of Xu County is a fake, since Cao Cao dared to invite Kong Rong to meet him, he must have prepared some hidden means."

"If he uses coercion, inducement or other despicable means to make Kong Rong willing to deceive the world for him, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous to the lord?"

"My lord, you must be worried about this... right?"

Yuan Shao had been through a lot, and after a moment of loss of composure, he forced himself to calm down. He immediately took over Ju Shou's words and said with a serious face, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

"Kong Rong is famous all over the world. If he is coerced or deceived by Cao Cao and endorses the fake emperor of Xu County, I am afraid that people in the world will not believe me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Pei's face became serious: "My Lord, what you said makes sense. Cao Cao must have something to rely on to do this."

Tian Feng disagreed and said, "You worry too much. Kong Beihai is a man of integrity and high aspirations. He dared to disobey Dong Zhuo in the past, so why would he be afraid of Cao Cao now? I am worried that Cao Cao will find a substitute who looks like the emperor to deceive him."

"My lord, you may as well ask the emperor to order Kong Rong to come to Yecheng. By comparing the two, the truth will be immediately revealed."

Everything Tian Feng said made sense.

If Cao Cao could invite Kong Rong, why couldn’t they?

This is a good opportunity for Kong Rong to identify who is the emperor and to completely expose Cao Cao's crime of falsely establishing an emperor!
Some advisers who did not get along well with Tian Feng also nodded in agreement.

But they didn't notice that when Tian Feng said the word "substitute", Yuan Shao's eyes twitched violently.

Hearing that all the counselors wanted to request an imperial decree to summon Kong Rong, Yuan Shao pretended to be tired and said, "Let me discuss this matter with the emperor... Let's stop here for today. I'm a little tired."

As he spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired.

Although everyone was puzzled, they did not think much about it and left.

After all, they never dared to think that the person who pretended to be the emperor was not Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao!

After all the counselors left, Yuan Shao came to the study alone and sat behind the desk in silence.

"My lord." Soon, Ju Su pushed the door open and walked in.

Yuan Shao opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and he cursed with gnashing teeth:
"Cao A Man! What a Cao A Man!"

"I can actually think of using this method to reverse the situation!"

Every word Yuan Shao spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with anger.

Kong Rong of Beihai, a descendant of Confucius, was well-known for his virtue.

There is a saying that goes, "There is Lu Bu in military affairs and Kong Rong in literature, but the rest are mediocre and not worth mentioning."

As the leading figure in today's literary world, Kong Rong's reputation in the hearts of those scholars who control the discourse power of public opinion is simply incomparable to his!
Once Kong Rong determined that the emperor of Xu County was the real one, he would be branded as a false emperor!
It just so happened that Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

People in the world would think that the two brothers were birds of a feather. By then, not only would the reputation of the Yuan family be ruined, but Yuan Shao's foundation would not even be safe.

Ju Su sighed heavily. The reason why he dared to let Yuan Shao pretend to be the emperor was because he relied on Yuan Shao's reputation as three officials of the four generations.

But no one would have thought that Cao Cao could find a way to fight back even though his reputation was at his most disadvantageous position.

Moreover, this counterattack made them completely unable to defend themselves.

After calming down for a while, Ju Su said, "My lord, we are not at the end of our rope yet. Cao Cao invited Kong Rong, so we must invite him too.

The two emperors look exactly the same, even Lü Bu, Liu Bei, and Jia Xu could not find the flaw, and Kong Rong might not be able to see through it either."

During this period of time, Liu Xie's role as the emperor was becoming more and more like that of the emperor, and Ju Shou was not worried that he would be discovered.

Yuan Shao shook his head and said solemnly: "But here, after all, we don't have the emperor's close ministers, let alone the queen."

It’s not that he didn’t believe in Liu Xie’s appearance and acting skills, but he was worried that it was fake after all.

In Xu County, there were a group of the emperor's close ministers and the queen who provided testimony to Kong Rong, but he relied entirely on his own reputation to support himself.

Fame is his greatest amulet, but also his greatest flaw.

Once this amulet becomes ineffective, he will have nothing to prove his identity as the emperor.

And Kong Rong was obviously not intimidated by his fame.

"Now we can only pin our hopes on that refugee." Ju Su couldn't think of a good solution for the time being and urged Yuan Shao again.

"My Lord, the most urgent task is to send the imperial edict to Beihai as soon as possible."

"If Kong Rong came to Yecheng first and recognized the emperor's identity, he would not go to Xu County anymore. In this way, our emperor in Yecheng can completely replace the real one with the fake one, and no matter who questions it later, it will be useless."

"I'll leave this matter to you, do it quickly!" Yuan Shao was extremely annoyed and said impatiently.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was in a very bad mood, Ju Su bowed, turned around and left the study silently.

Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the study room anxiously, his face expressionless and murderous intent lurking in his eyes.

He was considering whether to send someone to assassinate Kong Rong.

"No! If I assassinate Kong Rong at this critical moment, it would be like I am confessing myself, and everyone in the world will suspect me..."

Yuan Shao thought and hesitated in his heart, and finally gave up the bad idea of ​​assassinating Kong Rong.

If Kong Rong was killed, Cao Cao would definitely put the blame on him.

If Kong Rong is not killed, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Considering the worst case scenario, even if Kong Rong determined that the emperor of Xu County was real, he could still make some excuses.

Anyway, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated in the end, he will have the real and fake emperor in his hands by then, and he will have the final say on who is the real and who is the fake.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt a little more at ease.

……

After leaving Yuan's mansion, Ju Su went directly to the palace.

He told Liu Xie exactly what had happened: Cao Cao had invited Kong Rong to Xu County to identify the emperor.

"If Kong Rong arrives in Yecheng, you must be careful and cautious, and never reveal any flaws in front of him."

Looking at Ju Su's serious face, Liu Xie also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since Kong Rong said he was genuine, no one could question his authenticity from then on.

If Kong Rong said he was lying, his good days would basically be over, and he might even die.

Seeing that Liu Xie was not at all frightened, Ju Shou could not help but ask, "Aren't you afraid at all?"

Liu Xie turned his back to Ju Shou and said calmly, "Now that things have come to this, what's the use of me being panicked and afraid? Everything is just to do our best and leave the rest to fate. After all, since I chose to cooperate with you, I am ready to die at any time."

Ju Shou stared at Liu Xie in a daze, with a complicated expression.

He then gave a final introduction to Kong Rong's life and turned and left.

Not long after, Gao Lan came over.

"Your Majesty, Ju Su has already left the palace."

"Well...you go down, I will stay alone for a while."

After Gao Lan received the order and withdrew,

Liu Xie's face suddenly turned very ugly.

When facing Ju Shou just now, his reaction was not calm, but he was really shocked by the news.

Kong Rong gave up his pears, no egg is left unbroken when the nest is overturned, the Seven Sages of the Jian'an Period...

Liu Xie knew Kong Rong very well before traveling through time.

If he decides that he is fake, then everything will be ruined.

"Damn thief Cao!"

Liu Xie wanted to cry but had no tears, and cursed Cao Cao in anger and helplessness.
His plan to replace the real with the fake, his idea to secretly encroach on Yuan Shao's foundation, will all come to nothing!
His status as emperor is his only reliance.

Once exposed, Guo Jia, Gao Lan, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and even Zhen Mi will leave him.

There is even a possibility that he will be killed by Lu Bu to vent his anger!

"What should we do now?"

Liu Xie was even more anxious than Yuan Shao at this time. He wanted to come up with a solution, but his mind was a mess and he couldn't think of any solution at all.

From the time he traveled through time until now, he has relied on this fake identity bit by bit to win over people's hearts and minds and gather a group of his own forces.

To be honest, Liu Xie was very proud inside and felt that he was very awesome.

Look, smart people like Guo Jia and Jia Xu were fooled by him; overlords like Yuan Shao were also deceived by him; Lu Bu and Zhen Mi were even more confused by him.

These days he thinks he is the real protagonist of destiny!

The Three Kingdoms?

They are just a group of NPCs.

They were all stepping stones and tools for Liu Xie to achieve his hegemony!

As a result, within a few days, his pride was shattered.

The news brought by Ju Shou gave him a hard slap in the face, making him wake up completely.

He has all this not because he is awesome, nor because he comes from the future.

But because of his identity.

Once he loses the halo brought by his status as “Son of Heaven”, what will he count for?
No one would even look at him!
In essence, as long as he does not become a true emperor, he will still be a refugee who is worried about his future and is about to starve to death!

After a while, Liu Xie took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and then called Gao Lan in.

"Invite Guo Jia and Jia Xu to the palace immediately. I have something important to discuss with them!"

Hearing the solemnity in Liu Xie's tone, Gao Lan was startled and left in a hurry after taking the order.
