Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 218 Emperor Xian of Han: Wenhou, Your Emperor is Here

In the bedroom, Empress Fu was still awake.

She knew about the mutiny and assassination plan tonight. Although Emperor Xian of Han asked her to wait for news in the palace, how could she really not be worried at all?

From the beginning when the palace was filled with shouts, sounds of fighting and screams, to the end when the Tiger Guards went away and everything returned to silence, her heart was always hanging in the air.

She didn't know what the current situation of Emperor Xian of Han was, or whether the mutiny was a success or a failure.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps was heard from outside the bedroom.

Empress Fu immediately became alert, raised the short dagger on her knees for self-defense, and shouted in a delicate voice, "Who!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure walked into the bedroom.

It’s Fu Wan!

Seeing her father, Empress Fu showed an expression of disbelief and asked in surprise: "Father? Why are you here?"

Fu Wan was imprisoned in the dungeon, and she just went to visit him today. Why did he suddenly appear in the palace?
"Shou'er, the fake emperor's coup to assassinate Cao Cao failed, and he has now been forced by Dong Cheng to flee from Xu County!"

"While the situation is in chaos, you should quickly follow your father out of the palace. Together we will go to Yecheng to serve the emperor!"

Fu Wan said without any nonsense, with a happy face.

He thought he was destined to die in Xu County for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to go to Yecheng alive.

Although he is not afraid of death, it would be best if he could live.

The most important thing is to bring my daughter over!
"what?"

When Empress Fu heard Fu Wan say that Emperor Xian of Han's military rebellion had failed, her pretty face turned pale. She couldn't help but take a step back, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

After she realized what was happening, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going to Yecheng! If my father wants to go, he can go by himself. I want to stay in the palace and wait for His Majesty to come back!"

Even though she is no longer the queen, she still does not intend to submit to the false emperor. She must maintain her innocence at all costs!

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fu Wan suddenly became anxious and could not help but ask, "Your Majesty is in Yecheng. The one Dong Cheng brought with him is a fake emperor. How come you can't tell the real from the fake?"

"Could it be that you have been with this fake emperor for so long that you have developed feelings for him? It's just a show, Shou'er, don't get too caught up in the show!"

Empress Fu was filled with shame and indignation. She picked up the dagger on the ground, put it to her fair neck and said, "Father, if you continue to humiliate and persecute me, I will die in front of you!"

"You, you, you! Are you crazy?"

Fu Wan was horrified, but he did not dare to continue to provoke Empress Fu, so he could only soften his tone and say, "Shou'er, I am not harming you by letting you go to Yecheng."

"You haven't even seen the emperor of Yecheng, how do you know he's not real? Can you guarantee that you haven't been deceived? Is what you think is what you think?"

Fu Wan tried a different way to persuade Empress Fu.

When things got to this point, he finally realized that his silly daughter might really not know that the emperor was also a fake and was kept in the dark.

This fake emperor's acting skills are really good.

Empress Fu looked determined and said decisively: "Impossible! I can tell the difference!"

"No! You can't tell the difference!"

Fu Wan said seriously, "Shou'er, you have just been deceived. When you meet the real emperor, you will know which is true and which is false."

"You don't have to worry about your experience in Xu County. Regardless of whether you had any experience with this fake emperor, you just need to remember that you were deposed for maintaining your chastity."

"In this way, no one in the world can criticize you, and you can still be the queen. The future of our Fu family depends on you!"

Fu Wan's tone was filled with heavy meaning.

He knew clearly in his heart that if Empress Fu was unwilling to go to Yecheng, then she would have no choice but to "be forced by the false emperor and commit suicide in anger to preserve her chastity."

This is the result that the emperor wants to see.

But after all, she was his own daughter, and Fu Wan couldn't bear to see her die; and if she could continue to be the queen, it would also be good for the Fu family, so he would never tire of persuading her.

Faced with Fu Wan's repeated exhortations, no matter how determined Empress Fu was, she couldn't help but begin to waver in her heart.

On the one hand, it was the future of the Fu family, on the other hand, it was the authenticity of the emperor… She didn’t understand why so many people believed that the emperor of Yecheng was real. Was she really deceived?
"Shou'er!"

Fu Wan was delighted when he saw Empress Fu's expression, and continued to persuade her, "The fake emperor has already fled Xu County, and it is impossible for him to come back."

"If you continue to stay in Xu County, you will definitely fall prey to the murderous hands of Cao Cao, the lustful and hungry devil. He even didn't let go of Zhang Xiu's aunt, let alone you."

A look of horror suddenly appeared on Empress Fu's face.

She had heard that Cao Cao liked married women. Now she was just an abandoned queen, and Cao Cao would definitely not let her go given his character!
Thinking of this, Empress Fu became even more frightened. She dropped the dagger in her hand and said in a panic, "I, I will go to Yecheng with my father!"

Going to Yecheng is better than staying here.

She could also take the opportunity to meet the emperor of Yecheng and see who was real compared to the emperor of Xu County.

If it's fake, she would rather die than obey!

If it were true, she would have no face to live in this world.

"Then let's go!"

Fu Wan was very happy when he heard this. Without saying a word, he took Empress Fu and walked out of the palace to meet Yang Biao.

……

Sikong Mansion.

Xiahou Dun came to report to Cao Cao: "My lord, according to your instructions, I have let Dong Cheng and the emperor leave Xu County. They left through the west gate and fled all the way south."

"Is it really not necessary to send someone to chase after them?"

He still doesn't understand why Dong Cheng and the emperor were let go, since they could have stayed.

"No need! Absolutely not!"

Cao Cao said in a decisive tone that although he had not slept all night, he looked particularly energetic, and his face was full of smiles after hearing the news.

He wished the emperor could escape as far away as possible!

Don't ever come back again!

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun had no choice but to retreat.

Xu You then walked into the study.

When Cao Cao saw him, he couldn't wait to ask, "Ziyuan, how is the matter going? Is everything going well?"

He gave the task of sending Fu Wan and others away to Xu You. These three burdens must be sent away tonight. It could be said that they escaped during the chaos and it had nothing to do with him.

"Are you still worried about me doing things?"

Xu You pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Ah Man, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're wasting your talent by asking me to do such a small thing."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Ziyuan, this is no small matter. I only trust you now! I will be worried if the three of them don't leave."

"Tomorrow morning I will announce to the public that Dong Cheng kidnapped the emperor and fled Xu County, and put all the blame on Dong Cheng."

"From now on, the real or fake emperor has nothing to do with me!"

Cao Cao was not only cleared of the treasonous act of pretending to be the emperor, but also had his retreat secured. Needless to say, he was very happy. He simply wanted to thank Dong Cheng and the fake emperor.

It was all thanks to them for launching the mutiny. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have thought of this solution!

Although Xu You was unwilling to fail to kill the false emperor or persuade Cao Cao to surrender, he did not show it on his face. His eyes moved and he asked, "Aman, where do you think Dong Cheng will take the false emperor to escape?"

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then said: "Jingzhou is closest to Yuzhou, Liu Biao is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he is also loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will go to Liu Biao... It seems that it will be Liu Biao's turn to have a headache in the future. I want to see how he will deal with this hot potato."

There was a hint of gloating in Cao Cao's tone.

As the saying goes, things change over time. He has been troubled by the false emperor for so long, it is time for others to suffer.

……

After Dong Cheng and Emperor Xian of Han escaped from Xu County, they ran hundreds of miles in one breath before they dared to stop and rest for a while.

Under a hillside.

Emperor Xian of Han was resting under a big locust tree. He was panting and looked weak. He said in a hoarse voice, "Water, water... Do you have honey water?"

Because he ran too fast, the dragon chariot he was riding broke down halfway. He had no choice but to ride a horse, but this was simply a death sentence for him.

As the Son of Heaven, he usually lived in the deep palace for a long time and traveled in a dragon chariot. When had he ever traveled long distances on horseback?

After all this journey, Emperor Xian of Han felt as if his whole body was about to be torn apart. Now his body ached all over and his throat was so dry that it was about to smoke.

"you……"

These words made Dong Cheng extremely angry.

Brother, run for your life!
Still want to drink honey water?
Although he wanted to scold this false emperor who could not understand the situation, he could not be disrespectful because he was surrounded by the Tiger Guards and there were so many people and eyes, so he had to hold his breath and said:
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to rest. We are not completely out of danger yet."

"When it's really safe, you'll have honey water to drink."

The mutiny failed and Emperor Xian of Han was completely disheartened at this moment. After hearing Dong Cheng's words, he couldn't help but laugh miserably.

"Safe? Where is safe now?"

"I am a great emperor, but I am fleeing from Xu County like a stray dog. This is the second time I have run for my life."

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

"This world is so big, but there is no place for me! Although there are many Han officials, there is no loyal minister who can protect me!"

"Even drinking honey water is a luxury for me!"

Emperor Xian of Han was filled with grief and indignation. He felt that he was the most failed emperor in history and had no face to face the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty!
"This kid is acting again..."

Dong Cheng's eyes twitched, he pressed down his hardened fist, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, you are not without a place to go. This great man still has loyal subjects to you."

"Going straight west for 300 miles from here is the border of Jingzhou. We just need to go to Jingzhou and find Liu Biao. He will definitely help Your Majesty to restore the Han Dynasty."

"That person is a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Biao was a descendant of Liu Yu, King Gong of Lu in the Han Dynasty, a genuine relative of the Han royal family. He controlled Jingzhou and had enormous power. In terms of strength, he was even stronger than Cao Cao.

Now going to Liu Biao is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Liu Biao?"

When Emperor Xian of Han heard the name, his face suddenly changed. He immediately shook his head like a rattle and flatly refused, "No! I will never go to Jingzhou!"

He now trusts no one, including Liu Biao.

Because being loyal to the Han Dynasty does not mean being loyal to the emperor!

Not to mention whether Liu Biao would recognize him, even if he did, who could guarantee that Liu Biao had no ambitions? You know, if Liu Biao held him hostage, it would be much more legitimate than Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and the like!
It is even possible that he will be forced to abdicate!
He has the identity of a relative of the Han royal family, an excellent reputation, strong strength, and has been rooted in Jingzhou for many years.

There must have been a lot of people who wanted to support Liu Biao as emperor.

If he went to Jingzhou, it would probably not be a question of whether Liu Biao wanted to become emperor, but whether the officials of the Jingzhou faction under his command wanted to become meritorious officials who followed him.

As an emperor, Emperor Xian of Han had this political sense.

Yuan Shao once wanted to support Liu Yu, which made him extremely vigilant against the Han royal family.

As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Dong Cheng.

The fear in my heart grew stronger.

Dong Cheng had absolutely no good intentions in asking him to go to Jingzhou. He probably wanted to surrender to Liu Biao and support Liu Biao as emperor.

In fact, Dong Cheng did have such thoughts.

This was also the thought that came to his mind while he was on the run.

Although he knew that Emperor Xian of Han was a fake emperor, the title of Son of Heaven was not completely fake. It just depended on who the title was given and how it was used.

If Emperor Xian of Han abdicated the throne to Liu Biao, I believe many people in the world would support Liu Biao as emperor.

Because Liu Biao's bloodline is undeniably orthodox, and the Han Dynasty is now in danger, Liu Biao, as a powerful prince who controls a certain area, may indeed be able to rebuild the Yan Han Dynasty as long as he has a legitimate title.

Abdication is the best name.

Even if the throne was abdicated by a fake emperor whose true or false status was unknown, so what? Liu Biao was of Han bloodline, and he was powerful, which was enough.

"Could it be that he has discovered it?"

Dong Cheng did not expect that Emperor Xian of Han would actually reject his proposal. He was quite surprised and asked calmly:

"Then where do you think you can go now, Your Majesty? Apart from Liu Biao, there seems to be no better place to go."

Emperor Xian of Han opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

What Dong Cheng said was indeed correct.

Among all the princes in the world today, is there anyone who is loyal to him as the emperor, does not want to replace him, and has the ability to protect him?
"Wait... there's somewhere else to go!"

Emperor Xian of Han suddenly thought of someone and became excited. He said excitedly, "Let's go to Yangzhou! Let's go to Yangzhou to find Wen Hou!"

"Marquis Wen is loyal to me. He was just deceived by the fake emperor. As long as Marquis Wen sees me, he will definitely turn against me!"

Emperor Xian of Han was extremely excited at this time.

How could he forget about Lu Bu!
He was extremely sure that Lu Bu was loyal to him and had no ambitions. Moreover, Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and half of Yangzhou, and was very powerful, so he was fully capable of protecting him!

"Marquis Wen is too naive. The fake emperor is very scheming and looks similar to me, so he deceived Marquis Wen."

"As long as I meet Lord Wen in person, he will definitely recognize who the true emperor is!"

The more Emperor Xian of Han thought about it, the more excited he became. Suddenly, he felt full of strength, and his waist and legs no longer hurt.

He stood up with the help of a tree and ordered the many Tiger Guards around him: "Pass on my order, set off immediately and head to Shou County!"

"promise!"

The Tiger Guards all obeyed the order.

Emperor Xian of Han glanced at Dong Cheng's dazed face, sneered in his heart, and walked towards the horse not far away with a flick of his sleeves.

His steps gradually became firmer, his back straightened, his eyes were bright, and his expression was extremely confident.

"Wen Hou, your emperor is here!"
