Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 206 Emperor Xian of Han: I turned the false into the true? I am truly the Son of Heaven!
Xu County, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xian of Han complained to Empress Fu with a sad face: "The Zongzheng said he would verify my identity, so why didn't he participate in the court meeting and announce to the world that I am the orthodox Han Dynasty!"

These days, he was looking forward to Liu Ai clearing his name and dispelling the doubts in the hearts of the officials in the court.

But after Liu Ai left the palace that day, he stayed at home sick.

Not to mention clearing his name, he didn't even attend the agreed court meeting.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious." Empress Fu pulled the pacing Emperor Xian of Han to sit down and comforted him, "Since Zongzheng is ill, just wait until he recovers. Why should Your Majesty be anxious?"

Emperor Xian of Han seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, and said sadly: "I am worried that Liu Ai is not sick at all, and the reason why he claims to be sick and does not go out is that he is unwilling to clear my name."

"But he clearly asked me about all kinds of secrets that day, and acknowledged my status as the legitimate emperor to my face. Why would he still do this?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Fu understood where Emperor Xian of Han's worries came from.

He also said with a worried look on his face: "Liu Ai is not a loyal and righteous man. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Emperor Xian of Han instantly jumped up from the cushion, looking extremely frightened.

"Could it be that Liu Ai has also betrayed me? He came to see me that day just to get some secrets out of me!"

As he spoke, his face gradually became ferocious, and he roared angrily: "No, it's impossible! He is the head of the clan, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, how could he betray me! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

For a time, Emperor Xian of Han was in a state of confusion.

He felt that Liu Ai, as the chief of the imperial clan, would not betray the royal family.

But all these events showed that Liu Ai did not stand on his side.

Empress Fu said, "Let the imperial physician take a look to see if Liu Ai is ill."

When Emperor Xian of Han heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, if he is not sick, or refuses to see the doctor, then there must be something wrong!"

After saying this, Emperor Xian of Han immediately issued an edict and sent a royal physician to Liu Ai's mansion.

After anxiously waiting for nearly an incense stick of time, the imperial physician finally came back to report.

As soon as he saw the imperial physician, Emperor Xian of Han couldn't wait to ask, "What disease does Zongzheng have? Is it serious?"

The imperial physician looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, the Zongzheng is closed to visitors. I was unable to see him and do not know the extent of his condition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xian of Han's face turned pale instantly, and his worries were completely confirmed.

Liu Ai, there is indeed a problem!

After dismissing the imperial physician in despair, Emperor Xian of Han was somewhat distraught.

He couldn't understand why Liu Ai went back on his word.

What happened after Liu Ai left the palace?
Emperor Xian of Han's mind raced, and suddenly an idea came to him!
"That's right! That day I asked him to explain my identity to Yang Biao and Fu Wan. That's where the problem lies!"

"It must be Yang Biao and Fu Wan who coerced Liu Ai! Liu Ai was afraid of death, so he claimed to be ill and did not dare to clear my name."

The more Emperor Xian of Han thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. His expression became more and more unsightly, and the anger in his eyes was almost about to burst out!

"Yang Biao, Fu Wan, it's you two again!"

"I trust you so much, why do you treat me like this?"

Emperor Xian of Han was so angry that he wanted to rush to Yang Biao and Fu Wan's house with sword and kill them with his own hands.

But unfortunately, he could not leave the palace without Cao Cao's permission.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Empress Fu: "Queen, please leave now. I want to be alone for a while."

Empress Fu knew that Emperor Xian of Han was furious with her father at the moment, and she was unable to comfort him, so she could only leave.

Emperor Xian of Han stayed alone in the hall for a long time, then stood up angrily, walked outside the hall, and ordered the Tiger Guards who were protecting his safety: "Go and bring Yang Biao and Fu Wan to me!"

The Huben guards agreed and left.

Although Emperor Xian of Han was under house arrest in the palace, there were still eight hundred Tiger Guards to maintain the security of the palace.

Although Cao Cao could enter and leave the palace at will and also stationed soldiers to guard the palace, he could not transfer the emperor's personal troops.

Otherwise, the evil intention will be obvious.

It will definitely cause criticism from both the government and the public, and will be blamed by people all over the world.

……

Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao was playing chess with Xu You in the garden.

At this time, Cao Cao's black pieces had a great advantage on the chessboard, and had already surrounded Xu You's white pieces, and were on the verge of victory.

"Ziyuan, your chess skills have declined. It looks like I'm going to win this game."

Cao Cao, with a smile on his face, captured several of Xu You's white pieces.

Xu You glanced at him without saying anything. He just raised the wine gourd and took a sip, then casually placed a piece, and the situation on the chessboard instantly reversed!
"you……"

Cao Cao's expression suddenly froze. He stared at the chessboard with wide eyes for a long time before he had to admit the fact that he had lost. However, he was still unwilling to give up: "Let's play another game!"

"Forget it, you lousy chess player." Xu You didn't want to play with Cao Cao anymore, so he said, "I want to talk to you today."

"What's the matter?"

"What do you think Liu Ai meant by what she said that day?"

A few days ago, the Chief of Imperial Clan Liu Ai suddenly came to the door and said that he had verified the identity of the emperor in the palace and that the real emperor had been replaced by Yang Biao.

But what is puzzling is that as the chief minister, why didn't he announce this to the public after discovering it? Instead, he came to tell Cao Cao?

Cao Cao gathered up his chess pieces and said disapprovingly, "He is just afraid of death. If he announces to the public that the emperor of Xu County has been replaced, how can I let him go?"

"As the head of the clan, I can't let him leave Xu County. He came to tell me this because he wanted to leave a way out for himself."

"You are smart, but you don't have the responsibility of a clan leader. You are looked down upon."

Xu You frowned. He always felt that things would not be that simple.

Just when he wanted to ask further questions, Xu Chu hurried into the back garden.

"My lord, His Majesty sent the Tiger Guards to break into the Yang Mansion and the prison where Fu Wan was imprisoned, intending to take Yang Biao and Fu Wan into the palace. They were stopped by my soldiers now."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, exchanged glances with Xu You, and said, "Don't stop them. Let the Tiger Guards take the man away."

"promise!"

Xu Chu retreated in response.

Cao Cao said again: "The one in the palace suddenly summoned Yang Biao and Fu Wan to the palace. He must be plotting something. Ziyuan, come with me to the palace and let's go and take a look!"

Xu You was eager for this and nodded quickly: "Then I will go with you to have a look."

After that, the two of them went to the palace together.

……

Imperial Palace, Xuanshi.

Yang Biao had gauze wrapped around his head, looking like he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

Fu Wan was wearing prison clothes and looked a little haggard, obviously having suffered a lot in prison.

Only Dong Cheng looked decent.

Emperor Xian of Han sat in the main seat, looking at the two of them angrily, and shouted angrily: "How dare you two rebellious ministers threaten the Zongzheng!"

Yang Biao and Fu Wan were stunned after hearing the angry scolding. They looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Threaten Zongzheng?

What nonsense is this fake emperor talking about!
Yang Biao said with a sullen face, "I have been under house arrest by Cao Cao these past few days. When have I ever met Zong Zheng? And when have I ever threatened him? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Emperor Xian of Han was filled with anger. "You haven't seen it? Four days ago, I summoned Zong Zheng to the palace to verify my identity. Zong Zheng confirmed my identity on the spot."

"I thought you were just misled by slander and therefore suspected me. So I asked the chief of clan to come to your house to inform you of the results of the identity verification. I thought you would come to your senses."

"However--"

Emperor Xian of Han suddenly raised his voice, glaring at Yang Biao and the other man with gritted teeth: "My tolerance towards you has made you more and more unscrupulous!"

"I have repeatedly made concessions, hoping that you would change your mind, but you have been stubborn and even threatened the Zongzheng, making him afraid to defend me!"

"What benefits did that fake emperor in Yecheng give you to make you so devoted to him?"

"Tell me!!"

The roar of Emperor Xian of Han echoed throughout the hall.

The pain of being betrayed, the pain of being stabbed in the back, and the anger of being forgiven but betrayed, all roared out at this moment along with this roar. The three people in the hall were shocked by these words.

To be precise, it feels unbelievable.

As a fake emperor, he actually dared to ask the chief of clan to verify his identity?

Isn't this nonsense!

Dong Cheng and Fu Wan both looked at Yang Biao.

There was a questioning look in his eyes - who are you looking for and why are you saying such strange things?
But they didn't know that Yang Biao was also feeling extremely confused at this time.

At this point, the fake emperor's identity has been exposed and Cao Cao has noticed it, so why is he still pretending to be the emperor? Is this necessary?
He has never even seen Zong Zheng, so how can he be a threat?

It can be seen that the verification of identity mentioned by this fake emperor is clearly false.

"Nonsense!" Yang Biao scolded Emperor Xian of Han, frowning and saying, "Your Majesty has already gained the upper hand, and it is just around the corner for you to unify the world and restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Your duty as the emperor ends here! For the sake of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can commit suicide."

Now that the situation is clear, the identity of the false emperor can no longer be concealed.

Your Majesty has escaped from trouble and there is no need to rely on the real or fake emperor to confuse and restrain Yuan Shao. It is time to let the world know who the real emperor is!
The best way is for the fake emperor to commit suicide.

As long as the false emperor of Xu County dies, Your Majesty will be able to take back all the authority of the emperor, issue orders to the whole world, and no one will disobey!

But even after things have come to this, this fake emperor still wants to continue acting.

This really made Yang Biao confused.

"It turns out that this old man is the one who replaced the emperor!"

Fu Wan and Dong Cheng looked at each other and read the same meaning from each other's eyes.

I couldn't help but curse Yang Biao in my heart for being shameless. This old man never told the truth!

Such a tremendous achievement must be monopolized by one person!

Emperor Xian of Han was so angry at Yang Biao's words that he pointed at him with a sullen face and cursed:

"Yang Biao! You are a veteran of three dynasties! Your Yang family has been blessed by the Han Dynasty for generations, how dare you say such treasonous words!"

"I am the true Son of Heaven!"

Yang Biao heard the hysteria in Emperor Xian of Han's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and his heart was shaken.

Because the anger displayed by Emperor Xian of Han was so real, he couldn't help but doubt again - was this really a stand-in?
While Yang Biao was thinking silently, Fu Wan beside him seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his head abruptly, looked at Emperor Xian of Han in disbelief and said:

"I understand! I understand why you refuse to commit suicide! You... you are so bold!!"

Yang Biao subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by this, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Wan's face was filled with rage. He pointed at Emperor Xian of Han and said sternly, "This fake emperor wants to turn the fake into the real!"

These words, like thunder from a clear sky, resounded throughout the entire hall.

"Turning fake into real?!"

Yang Biao and Dong Cheng's faces changed drastically. They looked up at Emperor Xian of Han with deep anger and shock in their eyes.

"Turning fake into real?!"

Cao Cao and Xu You, who were hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on the conversation in the Xuanshi Hall, also had a changed look on their faces and almost couldn't help screaming out loud!
Cao Cao finally understood.

At this moment, he seemed to be struck by lightning, his mind was clear and everything inside and out was transparent!
All the questions in my mind have been answered.

No wonder the Zong Zheng said that the emperor of Yecheng was the orthodox Han Dynasty, and no wonder this false emperor kept refusing to admit it.

It turns out that he actually wanted to change from a fake emperor to a real emperor!
"What a terrifying scheming mansion, what a deep mind!"

"This kid is really scary!"

"If I hadn't happened to overhear him today, I would have found it hard to believe that he would have any other tricks to use."

Cao Cao clenched his fists, his face looking extremely solemn.

He always felt that his tolerance and scheming surpassed most people in the world.

Xu Shao once described him as a "villain in troubled times", and he has always been proud of this.

However, compared with the pseudo-emperor in front of him, his so-called forbearance and scheming is nothing compared to this. They are not on the same level at all!

"I underestimated him. You must never enter the palace again. Maybe one day he will get the chance and order the Tiger Guards to kill me when I enter the palace!"

"Just like the Ten Eunuchs who killed He Jin."

Cao Cao felt a sense of relief and fear for surviving a calamity. He felt that he was lucky to have been able to enter the palace alive.

He even felt that there might be assassins lying in ambush near the Xuanshi Hall!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao became even more frightened. He kept looking around and pulled Xu You, saying, "Ziyuan, I don't think this place is safe. Let's get out of the palace quickly!"

Now in his heart, the threat index of Emperor Xian of Han has increased exponentially, surpassing Yuan Shao and becoming the number one enemy in his heart!

Xu You, who was standing aside, also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

He had not expected that his Majesty's stand-in would be so audacious as to commit such a rebellious act, thinking of turning the false into the true.

This fake emperor is really brave!

After taking a deep look at Emperor Xian of Han, Xu You said to Cao Cao with a sullen face, "Let's go, leave the palace quickly."

He also felt that the current palace was full of crises and dangers lurking everywhere.

Cao Cao and Xu You left quietly without anyone noticing.

The confrontation in the hall continued.

Emperor Xian of Han pointed at himself. He still hadn't reacted yet. He said blankly, "I...turn the false into the true?"

"That's right!!"

Fu Wan's face turned ashen, and he looked at Emperor Xian of Han with a look full of fear and anger. "You knew that you would die if your identity as a fake emperor was exposed, so you decided to go all the way and make yourself the real Son of Heaven!"

"You have such a deep plan, and you are so brave!"

Yang Biao was also enlightened by Fu Wan's words and finally understood why Emperor Xian of Han continued to act until now. It was a pity that he had a trace of doubt in his heart just now!
He looked at Emperor Xian of Han and said angrily: "As a shadow, it is my duty to die for my real body. How can I have such a rebellious thought!"

"Look at yourself. How can you look like an emperor? You are just daydreaming if you want to pass it off as real!"

Fu Wan stepped forward and cursed: "Traitor! It is a great grace for you to pretend to be the emperor and enjoy the life of an emperor! If you still have a trace of heart to serve your country, you should commit suicide immediately!"

"Otherwise, when His Majesty's army arrives one day, you will be killed without a burial place!"

Yang Biao and Fu Wan were extremely powerful and their eyes were as sharp as knives!

The way he looked at Emperor Xian of Han was as if he was a traitor.

"I'm not, I didn't..."

Emperor Xian of Han was so confused by what the two said that all the anger he had accumulated was released. He tried hard to open his mouth to refute, but Yang Biao and Fu Wan did not give him a chance to refute.

Dong Cheng, who had been silent all this time, observed quietly for a long time.

Suddenly, he walked outside the palace with a stern face and shouted, "Come here! Tie up the hands and gag the mouths of these two bastards who are talking nonsense, and drive them out of the palace!"

The four Tiger Guards looked at Emperor Xian of Han, and Emperor Xian of Han nodded as if possessed by a ghost.

So they rushed into the hall and carried Yang Biao and Fu Wan out.

Fu Wan cursed, "Dong Cheng, you traitor! The fake emperor wanted to turn the fake into the real, and you didn't kill him, but you actually dared to--"

Halfway through his words, a piece of rag blocked his mouth.

Soon, Yang Biao and Fu Wan were forked out.

In the Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Xian of Han sat on the ground with sweat all over his forehead, and said absentmindedly: "How can they say this about me, how can they say this about me..."

"I never thought of killing them, but they asked me to commit suicide. Why, why!"

Dong Cheng stepped forward, looked at Emperor Xian of Han with deep eyes, and said, "Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty. I won't let them talk nonsense outside."

After hearing this, Emperor Xian of Han managed to calm down. With mixed feelings, he said to Dong Cheng: "Everyone has betrayed me, only Dong Qing remains the same. You are the most loyal minister!"

Dong Cheng smiled, moved closer to Emperor Xian of Han, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, there are no outsiders here now, so there is no need to pretend anymore. Besides, your identity as the fake emperor has been exposed, so what's the point of pretending anymore?"

Emperor Xian of Han was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "You also think I am a fake emperor!"

"Look, you're still being stubborn." Dong Cheng sighed and said helplessly, "I have no ill will towards you, I just want to have a chat with you."

"In order to protect His Majesty, you were willing to take the risk of pretending to be the emperor. I admire your courage and bravery. But those two guys, Yang Biao and Fu Wan, wanted to abandon you after using you. I really can't stand it."

"Little brother, do you want to be extremely rich?"
