Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 207 It's my turn to follow the dragon, Emperor Xian of Han deposed the empress

When Dong Cheng heard Fu Wan say that the fake emperor in front of him was planning to turn the fake into the real one, he was really shocked, but he also suddenly realized.

He never expected that a mere substitute would have such courage and ambition to replace the real body and become the true emperor. How audacious!

At the same time, he also had other thoughts.

"Now my daughter has been taken in by this fake emperor, and Yang Biao and Fu Wan won't take me ashore. It's clear that they want me to be a scapegoat for supporting the fake emperor and become their stepping stone. Now, I have no other choice."

"Although the real emperor of Yecheng is powerful, he has not been recognized by everyone in the world. There are still people who believe that this fake emperor is real. Cao Cao will not recognize the emperor of Yecheng for the sake of his own reputation, and will only support the fake emperor."

"And this fake emperor pretending to be the Son of Heaven is just like the real one. I didn't notice it for several years. He has been hiding for so long, his scheming and cunning are frightening... He may become the real Son of Heaven!"

"Yang Biao and Fu Wan both wanted to be his loyal subjects but they abandoned me. Now, it's my turn to be his loyal subject!"

Dong Cheng's ambition grew. He was not a relative of the Han royal family and had no obsession with the orthodox bloodline of the emperor.

In his opinion, as long as there are enough princes supporting the fake emperor, why can't the fake become true?
As long as it's good for him!

Dong Cheng suppressed his anger and looked at Emperor Xian of Han with sharp eyes. He asked, "Little brother, may I ask what your real name is and what is your name?"

"As long as you and I join forces, I will help you turn the fake into the real, how about it?"

Emperor Xian of Han was so angry that he was shaking all over. He opened his eyes angrily and said word by word: "My surname is Liu! My given name is Xie! I am the true Son of Heaven!"

"very good!"

Dong Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "We need to maintain this state. Your answer is correct. You will be called this name from now on!"

This sentence made Emperor Xian of Han unable to bear it any longer. He raised his foot and kicked Dong Cheng hard in the chest, shouting hysterically:

"roll!!!"

The force of Emperor Xian of Han's kick was incredibly strong. Dong Cheng rolled on the ground for several times, grimacing in pain.

He got up from the ground, looked up and cursed at Emperor Xian of Han: "What are you crazy about, you dog-footed man? Do you really think you are the Son of Heaven?"

"Without me, you will be killed by the emperor sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xian of Han drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist and chopped at Dong Cheng with a ferocious look on his face: "I will chop you, the traitor!"

Dong Cheng was so frightened by Emperor Xian of Han's crazy behavior that he ran out of the palace, cursing, "You dog-footed emperor! If you don't join forces with me, you will die!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

……

Sikong Mansion.

After Cao Cao and Xu You escaped from the palace, they were still frightened and drank several bowls of wine to calm themselves down before they recovered.

"It's just terrible."

Cao Cao put down the wine jar in his hand and said with a complicated expression: "When I first knew that he was the fake emperor, I just thought that he had extraordinary acting skills and acted timidly in front of me. At that time, I saw him as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. I was just surprised."

"Now that I know his true intentions, seeing him again is like a mayfly seeing the sky. I am left with only admiration and fear."

"I, Cao Mengde, am really ashamed of myself for being so cunning and scheming. I am still too naive."

Cao Cao rarely admired and feared someone so sincerely. Yuan Shao, who was full of vigor and ambition and pointed his sword at Dong Zhuo, was one of them; and Emperor Xian of Han, who now endures humiliation and wants to turn the fake into the real, is also one of them.

This was the first time he met an opponent in the field of forbearance.

Xu You said solemnly, "The false emperor has great ambitions and even wants to use A'man as a stepping stone. A'man must be more careful in the future and must not let him find an opportunity to usurp the throne... eh?"

Xu You stopped talking.

Why, so familiar?

It seems that Your Majesty endured humiliation and secretly won over the forces under Yuan Shao, and finally broke free from his control and gained his freedom. Does this false emperor have the same plan?
Could it be that he has secretly won over a group of advisers or generals under Cao Cao and has his own power?
Thinking of this, Xu You became even more fearful.

"You bold false emperor! You actually want to imitate Your Majesty. Now that I know your plan, how can I let you succeed?"

Xu You was angry and thought secretly.

He knew clearly how Liu Xie gained power step by step under Yuan Shao's control, relying on his forbearance and Yuan Shao's carelessness, and in the end he almost killed Yuan Shao!
Although this pseudo-emperor does not have the great talent and strategy of Your Majesty, he is no worse than Your Majesty in terms of forbearance and means, and is definitely a formidable enemy!
Although Xu You didn't finish his words, Cao Cao understood what he meant. He was shocked and began to have doubts in his heart - could it be that someone under his command had already rebelled?
Who is it?
Just as Xu You and Cao Cao were lost in thought, Xun Yu walked into the hall. They both looked at him, causing Xun Yu to frown.

Why are you all staring at me?

Although he was puzzled, Xun Yu did not ask any more questions and said, "Sikong, I heard that His Majesty ordered the Tiger Guards to bring Yang Gong and Fu Wan into the palace today. Sikong, do you know what this is for?"

"I don't know."

Cao Cao and Xu You said in unison.

Xun Yu glanced at Xu You and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He didn't ask Xu You, what did this guy answer? Even Sikong Jinri was a little strange. Were they discussing something private? Did he come at the wrong time?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu said, "Then I will go and find out. Bye."

After saying that, he turned and left the lobby.

After he left, Cao Cao and Xu You looked at each other, their eyes sparkling, and said at the same time: "It's Xun Yu!"

They both realized something.

Although Xun Yu never stood firm, he was always loyal to the emperor in his heart. In fact, in the eyes of most people, Xun Yu was a Han minister loyal to the emperor.

In this situation, if the false emperor showed a side that was completely different from his usual cowardly side and took the opportunity to win over Xun Yu, there was a possibility that Xun Yu would join him!

"Ah Man, I told you that Xun Yu is a crooked guy. You can't trust him too much. You have to be on your guard against him in the future!"

"Who knows, one day when you are leading your troops on a campaign, he might rebel and support that fake emperor to seize power. You will be in danger then!"

Xu You said in an anxious tone.

He couldn't let Cao Cao repeat Yuan Shao's mistake, because his carelessness allowed this false emperor to seize power. He would never allow this to happen!
Cao Cao's face was gloomy and he remained silent.

In his heart, he didn't believe that Xun Yu would betray him, nor was it likely that he would be secretly lured by the false emperor, but he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

After all, only a few people knew the identity of the fake emperor, and Xun Yu was not aware of it. What if he really betrayed him?
After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao slowly nodded and said, "I will be on guard against Xun Yu in the future and will never be as careless as Yuan Shao."

"That's good."

Only then did Xu You feel relieved. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and he would definitely take it to heart after being reminded by Xu You.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble that fake emperor could stir up!
After talking about this, Xu You also hurriedly said goodbye.

He wanted to find Yang Biao and ask him where this old man found a substitute. How could he dare to do such a rebellious thing without even the slightest awareness of being a death warrior. ...

royal palace.

Empress Fu waited in the bedroom for a long time, but Emperor Xian of Han still did not return until dark. She couldn't help feeling worried, so she set off for the Xuanshi Hall.

However, as soon as she entered the Xuanshi Hall, she saw Emperor Xian of Han sitting on the ground in disheveled clothes, looking dispirited, with an unsheathed sword in his hand. Her face changed.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Fu quickly stepped forward to the side of Emperor Xian of Han and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Could it be that Cao the thief has entered the palace again to force Your Majesty?"

The last time Emperor Xian of Han drew his sword was when Cao Cao led his soldiers into the palace, so she couldn't help but associate the two things together.

Hearing Empress Fu's words, Emperor Xian of Han shed two lines of tears, his eyes full of humiliation, and said in a trembling voice: "I summoned Yang Biao and Fu Wan today to ask if they threatened Zongzheng."

"As a result, they spoke nonsense in front of me, accusing me of being a fake emperor. Fu Wan also accused me of trying to turn the fake into the real, and told me to commit suicide as soon as possible!"

"I don't understand! I don't comprehend. I don't know how I have wronged them. Why do they keep humiliating me?"

"Queen, why do you think this is happening?"

Emperor Xian of Han cried incessantly, tears streaming down like rain.

When Empress Fu heard this, a look of shock and anger suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She said in disbelief, "How could father say such a treasonous thing?!"

She couldn't believe that these were words Fu Wan could say.

Even the thief Dong wouldn't dare to be so disobedient!
When did my father become like this?
"And Dong Cheng..."

Emperor Xian of Han choked up and said in a hateful tone: "If Yang Biao and Fu Wan said this because they were deceived, I can still understand."

"But Dong Cheng! Dong Cheng, the traitor!"

Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help but tremble with anger, and gnashed his teeth and said, "Not only did he say that I was a fake emperor, he also said that he was going to help me turn the fake into the real one and let me join forces with him!"

"He is more hateful than Yang Biao and Fu Wan!"

If Dong Cheng just thought that he was a fake emperor like Yang Biao and Fu Wan, although he was angry, he would not hate him so much. He would just think that they were all deceived.

But Dong Cheng planned to help this "fake emperor" turn the fake into the real, steal the Han Dynasty, and seek his own glory and wealth!
This is complete betrayal!
Empress Fu was shocked. She finally understood why Emperor Xian of Han was so angry. This was more than just a humiliation. It was a complete act of treason, which showed that Dong Cheng had no good intentions at all!
"I am a coward as the emperor. Cao Cao bullies me, my subjects do not believe me, I have lost the Han Dynasty, I feel sorry for the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty, I wish I could depose myself!"

"I... am ashamed to face my ancestors!"

Emperor Xian of Han slowly and sorrowfully raised the sharp blade in his hand. The smooth blade reflected his tear-stained and extremely embarrassed face.

Maybe he should really listen to Fu Wan and commit suicide to make amends?

"His Majesty!"

Empress Fu was shocked and snatched the sharp blade from Emperor Xian of Han without hesitation, angrily scolding: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the supreme ruler! Now that we are not at the end of our rope, how can you give up so easily?"

"Hasn't reached the end of the road yet?"

Emperor Xian of Han laughed bitterly and said, "Yang Biao, Fu Wan, and Dong Cheng all don't believe that I am the Son of Heaven. The head of the imperial clan is afraid of death and dare not clear my name. Now the court is in a panic. Everyone in the world thinks that the fake emperor who can attract the purple air from the east is the real Son of Heaven."

"I have reached the end of my rope, Queen."

Empress Fu shook her head and said in a soft but resolute voice: "I have a plan that can save your majesty from danger and restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty!"

Although Emperor Xian of Han was already in despair, he still had a glimmer of hope after hearing this and asked, "What is the Queen's plan?"

Empress Fu said: "Although Dong Cheng is ambitious, he can be used. Doesn't he want to make your Majesty's falsehood true? Then your Majesty should follow his wishes."

"Although this is somewhat humiliating, we can use his power to help Your Majesty win over various forces."

"It won't be too late to kill him when Your Majesty regains power in the future."

Emperor Xian of Han was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Empress Fu meant.

Dong Cheng was indeed a traitor with a rebellious heart, even worse than Dong Zhuo, but such a person could also be used.

As long as he joins forces with Dong Cheng and implements his strategy of "turning the false into the true", he will be able to get his full support.

"I am a legitimate emperor, but I have to admit that I am a fake emperor. I, I..."

Emperor Xian of Han pursed his lips, feeling extremely humiliated.

He knew that Empress Fu had no ill intentions and that the plan she proposed was brilliant, but he found this humiliation unbearable.

Seeing the look on Emperor Xian's face, Empress Fu advised: "Your Majesty, a real man can bend and stretch. Why should you care about the gains and losses of the moment?"

"Back then, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, suffered the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch, and Gou Jian, the King of Yue, tasted feces to ask about his illness. These were things that ordinary people could not endure, so they eventually achieved great things."

As she spoke, Empress Fu stood up, took a step back, and bowed to Emperor Xian of Han.

"I ask Your Majesty to depose the Queen and make Concubine Dong the Queen, so that you can gain Dong Cheng's trust and let him serve Your Majesty."

Emperor Xian of Han never expected Empress Fu to make such a request. He said in disbelief, "Empress...why did you do that?"

He and Empress Fu had a deep love and a harmonious relationship. Empress Fu also always supported and believed in him, which was something that Yang Biao and Fu Wan could not do!!
How could he depose the queen just to win over Dong Cheng?
Empress Fu said gloomily, "My father committed such a rebellious act. As his daughter, I have no face to remain as empress."

"And Your Majesty also needs to win over Dong Cheng. Making Concubine Dong the Queen is undoubtedly the best way. Your Majesty, please grant my request."

Emperor Xian of Han opened his mouth, but no words came out.

I just felt deeply moved!
"As a woman, the Queen is willing to make such a great sacrifice to help me. As the Son of Heaven, how can I be less than the Queen?"

After a period of intense hesitation and struggle, Emperor Xian of Han finally made a decision.

He must seize this opportunity and make one last effort!
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Xian of Han reached out to help Empress Fu up, and said with a firm look: "Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely not let you down."

"When I regain power in the future, I will definitely exterminate the entire Dong family. Then I will make you my queen again and give you an honor that no other woman in the world can achieve!"

This is the promise that Emperor Xian of Han made to Empress Fu, and even more so a promise to himself!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Empress Fu smiled sadly and left the hall.

Half an hour later, an eunuch left the palace with the emperor's edict and went to the General of Chariots and Cavalry's residence to summon Dong Cheng to the palace for an audience.
