Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 629 Is my jade seal from a counterfeit?

After reciting this poem, Liu Xie seemed to be moved by his true feelings suddenly. He sat on the ground opposite Cao Cao and shed tears in a daze: "Cao Yanzhou, the hero of the world, I always think that I can't stand up to me and the envoy... the heights have always been invincible." Han, the hero has been lonely since ancient times, if he can get drunk with Cao Yanzhou tonight, even in the troubled times of the Han Dynasty, I will find the answer and heal my heart..."

After saying this, Liu Xie obviously drank too much, first laughed and then cried, laughed again after crying, and finally let out a cry of grief after laughing.But Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded at this time. He really didn't know whether Liu Xie's poem just now was written by him or not? ...

But before Cao Cao could think of this, Liu Xie suddenly stood up again, stopped crying, but couldn't help but mourn, and sang again: "There are righteous men in the Kanto, and they raised troops to fight against the gangsters. At the beginning of the alliance, the heart is in Xianyang. The army will work together Unevenness, hesitation and wild geese. Snobbery makes people fight, and the heirs kill each other. The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north. The armor is full of lice, and the surnames die. To leave one behind is to break one's heart."

The ups and downs of the sad song poured into Cao Cao's ears, making Cao Cao's satisfaction dissipate in an instant.He is also a poet, so he can naturally hear the first four sentences of this poem, which are impassioned, straight and hearty.But in the middle of the song, it suddenly turned sharply and gloomy, and the tone was high but full of contempt.When the last four lines were sung, the singing gradually became weaker, full of sorrow and pity.

There is no doubt that this is another good poem.But the problem is, this poem is also his Cao Cao's!
Moreover, compared to the poem just now, this one makes Cao Cao more thrilling: the previous one is okay, after all, it is Cao Cao's early work.But this one is completely new by Cao Cao yesterday!The phrase "the title of Huainan brother" is clearly referring to the fact that Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor!
Cao Cao looked cautious and shocked, tried to keep his tone calm, and broke the silence: "Your Majesty, I don't know what song you sang just now."

Under the light of the fire, two lines of tears flowed down Liu Xie's cheeks.He didn't bother to wipe it, and when the jug was empty, he picked up a copper spoon and poured another bowl of wine from Cao Cao's wine cauldron, and said in a hoarse voice, "This song was originally sung by a strong man under Tian Hengmen in the early Han Dynasty. During the time of Emperor Wu, Li Yannian divided this piece into two pieces. The first half is "Xielu", which means that people's lives are dying suddenly, like dew on a scallion, which is easy to destroy, and it is specially given to princes and nobles; the second half is "Haoli". It means that the soul of a person returns to Taishan Artemisia after death, and it is specially sent to the scholar-bureaucrats and ordinary people. They are all sung for the coffin bearers, and they are mourning elegy. Although the song is an old song, the lyrics are new lyrics."

Seeing that Liu Xie still didn't tell who wrote the poem, Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.But he didn't dare to ask directly, so he asked again in a roundabout way: "Since it's an elegy, who is Your Majesty singing for?"

Cao Cao thought that Liu Xie would give the answer this time, but Liu Xie was still full of sorrow. He put the wine bowl heavily on the ground, and laughed loudly: "For whom? The decline of the Han Dynasty, the collapse of governance... this elegy If you don’t sing for the present, who else can you sing for?”

After finishing speaking, Liu Xie suddenly laughed again.This time, he really didn't pretend, but laughed from the bottom of his heart: As a time traveler, how could he not know that these two poems belonged to Cao Cao?But he just used Cao Cao's poems to fool Cao Cao in this way. This feeling is even darker than the old king next door who stole Cao Cao's wife!
If Cao Cao thought that these two poems were written by Liu Xie, he would definitely look at Liu Xie with admiration, and maybe he would believe that there is a definite number in the dark;

However, this possibility is very small, Cao Cao's tough mind must think that Liu Xie got these two poems from Jin Yiwei.

But Cao Cao has never published these two poems in public, especially the second one. Although Liu Xie didn't know that it was written by Cao Cao yesterday, he knew that it was Cao Cao's recent work.This means that the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty has a panoramic view of Cao Cao's every move. This level of deterrence is much more shocking than letting Zhao Yun hit the bull's-eye with three hundred steps.

After all, the eyes can be so powerful, and it is only a thought to take a person's head.No matter what Cao Cao is human, he would never like a sword hanging above his head all the time.

In this way, not only Liu Xie's intention to come to demonstrate tonight has been fulfilled.If Cao Cao's suspicion was accidentally aroused, causing him to lose his position, then for Liu Xie, it was really a stroke of luck.

But when Liu Xie laughed more and more happily, and almost let Cao Cao see the clue, Cao Cao's face gradually became serious, and suddenly he asked again: "So, Your Majesty knows that Fang Yuxi is a fake... "

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie's face, which was still laughing out loud, suddenly looked like chrysanthemums frozen and messy in the cold snow: What?You, old Cao, say it again, I have always been careful about the treasured jade seal of the country, you said it is a counterfeit product?

Fortunately, after all, Liu Xie has been traveling for more than three years, and he has practiced the ability to keep his face unchanged before the collapse of a mountain.Although he was extremely shocked at that moment, his face was only slightly stunned, and then he recovered calm and dignified.Before Cao Cao raised his head to realize it, Liu Xie said a word in an unusually cautious tone: "Yes."

Accompanied by this word, there is also Liu Xie's insightful eyes, making it look like he really knows the inside story.Moreover, that word is concise and concise, and it expresses too many meanings. Cao Cao really couldn't distinguish it for a while, so he continued: "Yuan Benchu ​​has now defeated Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and is pressing hard against the Heishan bandits in Bingzhou. The time is just around the corner, I am afraid that at this moment, I am confident that I am No.1 in the world..."

"That's right, Yuan Benchu ​​was arrogant and rebellious, and he was on the same level as his younger brother Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu declared himself emperor in Huainan, so why didn't Yuan Benchu ​​have the heart to overstep?" Liu Xie had a deep expression, and every word seemed to be well thought out.But in fact, as long as Cao Cao distinguishes carefully, he can find that Liu Xie is just following his words.

But it was such a hidden conversation, which not only completely disguised Liu Xie, but also made Cao Cao feel that Liu Xie was in his hands.As a result, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "Actually, Yuan Benchu ​​is also considered a man of self-denial and courtesy. He is also profound and magnanimous, and he is deeply supported by celebrities in the country. When the disaster of the party's imprisonment happened, most of the scholars and bureaucrats in the world escaped from it. He relied on his family background to help the impoverished and impoverished among the party members, and he lived countless members of the party, and was once praised as a "hero of the world" by domestic celebrities."

"At that time, Cao thought that Yuan Benchu ​​would be the one who would rule the emperor, but he didn't expect that he had other deep meanings in doing all this." Cao Cao stirred the wooden stick with hares on the bonfire, and the oil dripped into the dancing flames below. , the barbecue was sizzling, and the aroma was overflowing: "If it weren't for the jade seal, Cao would really not know that Yuan Shao had no respect for the Han Dynasty!"

Listening to Cao Cao's topic gradually lead to Yuan Shao, Liu Xie's face was a little impatient.Liu Xie, who is a time traveler, knows much more about Yuan Shao's virtues than Cao Cao.What he cares more is whether the jade seal in his hand is a fake or not: "Yuan Shao is ambitious, and I have been prepared for it. It's just that about the jade seal, although I know something about it, but what happened, I have been investigating for many years , but it is always difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture..."

Cao Cao's face was extremely calm, as if everything was right, he replied: "Your Majesty has not yet succeeded to the throne, so of course he knows very little about this matter. Back then, I broke into the palace to kill the eunuchs, and made a fuss until dawn. Knowing that Your Majesty and the Young Emperor have been kidnapped by Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and others to Xiaopingjin, we hurriedly mobilized our troops to chase north, but unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo took the lead. We had no choice but to go back to the palace to check the utensils in the palace, only to find the Jade Seal that has been handed down to this day disappeared."

Liu Xie nodded, but still had a face that didn't think enough: "I also know about this, but what does it have to do with Yuan Shao? Isn't it rumored by everyone in the world that the jade seal was acquired by Sun Jian?"

"This is Yuan Benchu's brilliance!" Cao Cao sneered, and said in a low voice: "It is rumored that the thief shouted to catch the thief, and it was Yuan Benchu ​​who planted it to frame the blame. The real Jade Seal of the Kingdom has long been in Yuan Shao's hands!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's tone became more gloomy: "The disappearance of the Chuanguo Yuxi is a huge matter. I will be considered a disorderly person at that time, so how dare I speak up?"

"But then the Kwantung heroes attacked Dong Zhuo, and all the forces were drinking and singing every day, and did not move forward. Only Sun Jian and Sun Wentai on the South Road went north from Luyang, killing Huaxiong, Hu Zhen and other Xiliang warriors all the way, and entered Luoyang. Sweeping the ancestral temple, the ancestral hall was too prison, and the limelight was indistinguishable for a while, setting off Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong alliance, like a bag of wine and rice. But then there were rumors that Sun Jian had obtained the Chuan Guoxie, and suddenly it became more and more popular, and Sun Jian immediately became the target of public criticism—— Your Majesty carefully analyzed the cause and effect, don't you think this matter is strange?"

Liu Xie suddenly took a deep breath. As a man who often plays tricks and tricks, how can he not hear Cao Cao's subtext?Just for a moment, his mood was still extremely lost: It seems that the little girl in my hands is indeed a counterfeit product...
