Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 630 So Many Jade Seals

"How did Cao Yanzhou know about this?" Liu Xie's face was very ugly, and he didn't care much about the purpose of coming here today, he just wanted to find out the whole story of the true and false jade seals.

Just now he stole Cao Cao's poems and thought he was the old king next door, but in a blink of an eye, Yuan Shao turned out to be the agent Lao Song—this kind of strong psychological gap drove Liu Xie crazy.

Cao Cao's expression has always been very calm. Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry about the whole story, he said unhurriedly: "I am ashamed to say that the reason why I was able to know this is because when the Beigong was in turmoil, Wei The minister is also the person involved. After your majesty and the young emperor were hijacked by Dong Zhuo, we began to count the losses. Although the news of Yuxi's disappearance was urgently blocked by Yuan Shao, this matter is so important. Did it work flawlessly?"

"At that time, I knew that something must have happened in the palace, but I didn't know that it was related to Yuxi. After careful investigation, I didn't want to find the bodies of two seal masters. The two eunuchs died in Zhuque Que In the pile of He Miaojun's corpses not far away, one of the corpses was still holding half of the yellow silk tightly. Anything that dared to wrap the yellow silk in the palace is the most important weapon of the country. Thinking of the identities of these two people, The humble official knew that the Chuan Guo Yuxi had disappeared."

"What happened after that?" Liu Xie remembered that the Beigong turmoil had been a long time since the warlords challenged Dong: "When the Kwantung warlords challenged Dong, Yuan Shao kept concealing the matter and never revealed anything to anyone?"

"Yuan Shao has a deep scheming heart, and he will never expose the matter of stealing national treasures." Cao Cao laughed, but with a hint of contempt in his tone, he continued, "However, compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao is only a little bit more tolerant. Later, when the Kwantung heroes attacked Dong Zhuo, I guess this minister was also responsible for this Fang Yuxi, so why didn't Yuan Benchu ​​want to make a contribution to the sky and become another Wang Mang?"

Liu Xie nodded gloomyly: Cao Cao is right, if the director is successful, Yuan Shao, the leader, will naturally be able to rebuild the Han Dynasty.Once his prestige surpasses the world, he will have the courage to take out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. At that time, he is most likely to be more qualified than Dong Zhuo to accept the abdication of the Han Dynasty.

"However, things changed later. The princes of the Kanto region each had their own plans, and none of them was really for the sake of the Han family. After a while of trouble, it dispersed. Then Thief Dong followed the plan of the poisonous man Li Ru and poisoned the young emperor. , Moving the capital to Chang'an can be said to be a drudgery from the bottom of the pot. As a result, the heroes of the Kanto region are even more unwilling to fight for thieves."

Cao Cao's first song "Xie Lu Xing" described the scene at that time, and this time I recalled it with a lot of emotion: "At that time, Yuan Shao and Han Fu used the excuse of the Son of Heaven to coerce Dong Zhuo, and they were far away from the fortress. Yes, Liu Youzhou is the head of the clan and should be established as the lord. He intends to forcibly support Liu Yu as the emperor to fight against Dong Zhuo's Chang'an court. Think about it, your majesty, after Yuan Benchu's fourth generation and third prince, he should have served the Han Dynasty in order to comply. People's hearts, why do you want to set up another court?"

Liu Xie's face became more and more ugly: "It's because of Fang Yuxi. Yuan Benchu ​​saw that he hadn't been able to command the heroes, so he naturally thought of finding another way. The next thing, I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ​​took out a jade seal to test Cao Yanzhou Do you mean it?"

Cao Cao's words were like a gust of wind, gradually blowing away some of Liu Xie's previous doubts about history, giving him a clearer understanding of this turbulent and chaotic world.Yuan Shao's performance when attacking Dong Zhuo was indeed very different from when he was fighting eunuchs wisely, but Liu Xie didn't expect that there was such a factor in it.

At that time, Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong and had no choice but to live under Yuan Shao's tent as a guest general.That incident has long been recorded in the history books. If Liu Xie is not interested, it is simply impossible.

"That's right. When I was under Yuan Benchu's tent, I was very puzzled by his various actions. But because I learned the truth about the Chuanguo Yuxi, I always kept Yuan Benchu ​​at a respectful distance. But I was helpless at that time. Then he tried to let the humble official join him in establishing another imperial court, but the humble official immediately refused."

When he said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but fell into the memory, and seemed to be quite touched by the sadness at that time, but then his eyebrows darkened, and he continued: "Then Yuan Benchu ​​saw that the humble minister was not moving, so he took out a bag from his bosom. A lacquer box, took out a jade seal from the lacquer box, smiled at Weichen, "Meng De, look at my jade seal, how is it carved?"

"When he took out the lacquer box, I was shocked. You know, Your Majesty, our family's ancestor used to walk in the palace. In his old age, he often told me about the shapes of the utensils in the palace. So As soon as Weichen saw the crescent-shaped gap on the jade seal in the lacquer box, he recognized it."

"So, that Fang Yuyin is the Chuan Guoxie?!" Liu Xie's face was serious, and compared with Cao Cao's gloomy, there was more murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and said again: "No. Qin Shihuang unified the world, so he chose beautiful jade from all over the world to make the Chuan Guoxie. Qin people's craftsmanship is rough and grand, so although the Chuan Guoxie is of excellent quality, But there is not much carving. But although the shape of the jade seal is exactly the same as that of the Chuan Guoxie, the workmanship is extremely delicate. It is obviously a craftsmanship during the reign of Emperor Xiaohe, who was full of extravagance, and it is by no means an artifact of the Chuan Guoxie."

Liu Xie was confused by Cao Cao's words, and asked with a frown, "What is the legendary artifact..."

"The Chuan Guoxie is naturally in Yuan Benchu's hands! It's just that the hidden artifact is treasonous, how dare he show it to others?" Cao Cao rudely interrupted Liu Xie: "Yuan Benchu ​​knew that I had investigated the Yuxie, so he deliberately took out Fang Xiao and the emperor's seal. Showing off the jade seal during the years is nothing more than a metaphor to test the humble minister. He just wants to know what the humble minister's attitude will be if he presumptuously proclaims himself emperor."

At this time, Cao Cao really didn't regard Liu Xie as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and said bluntly what he thought at the time: "Liu Yu, whom Yuan Benchu ​​and Han Fu planned to support, is still a member of the royal family, so there are still reasons for joining the Datong. But his Yuan family has been favored by the imperial court for generations, and he wants to claim the emperor in vain. That is the most ungrateful traitor. Support him? I will not lose my mind to do such stupid things. Zhiweichen's position will not be mentioned again in the future."

"That is to say, there are two jade seals in Cao Cao's hand?" Liu Xie's attention has always been on the jade seal. Now when he heard Cao Cao say this, he became even more puzzled: "As you said, Yuan Shao once framed Sun Wentai, while That Fang Yuxi finally came into my hands..."

"Yuan Benchu ​​forged it," Cao Cao knew what Liu Xie was thinking, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty guessed right. There are actually three jade seals in Yuan Shao's hand. One is the real Jade Seal passed down to the country, and the other is the filial piety and period that I showed to my ministers." The jade seal, the last one is the forged jade seal used to frame Sun Wentai. The minister thinks that Yuan Benchu ​​might want to use the second jade seal to blame Sun Wentai, but although that Fang Yuxi is not a national jade seal, it is also a royal treasure. However, I couldn't bear to give up, and finally forged another party..."

When these words were spoken, Liu Xie's mood was quite ugly: There are three jade seals in the world. After careful calculation, the one in Liu Xie's hands is the most crude and has no technical content. It is really depressing.

But Cao Cao seemed to think that these were not enough, and continued to give Liu Xie eye drops: "Master Liu Yu later swore to die, and Yuan Shao couldn't even get the response from his humble ministers, so he could only gradually bury his ambition in his heart. However, After all, he had two jade seals in his hand, and when he saw that His Majesty was rejuvenating Chang'an and seemed to be restoring the world, he was naturally upset, and wanted to attack His Majesty's orthodoxy, so he forged that His Majesty was not the son of the late emperor, so he took the opportunity to think of getting his own Your jade seal will see you again."

"Wishful thinking!" Liu Xie was furious when he heard the words, but then he thought of something. After taking a closer look at Cao Cao, the anger on his face slowly dissipated, and finally even smiled back to Cao Cao: "He Both seals in Yuan Benchu's hands are real, but he will never use them! Although the seal in my hand is the worst, using it on the yellow silk square paper is to proclaim the will of the world!"

Cao Cao seemed to be taken aback by Liu Xie's domineering tone in his chuckle, and after a moment of stupefaction, he responded, "Your Majesty's words are very true. Yuan Benchu ​​harbored evil intentions and caused troubles in the world, so he must be punished by the divine power of the Son of Heaven."

"Not busy." Liu Xie seemed tolerant at this time, and continued to say to Cao Cao with a smile: "Even if I attack Yuan Shao one day, I will definitely call on the loyalty and goodness of the Han Dynasty to move forward like today's generation. Cao Yanzhou has both wisdom and courage. , loyal, you won’t let others be more beautiful than you, right?”

Looking at Liu Xie's black and white eyes, Cao Cao was a bit disappointed, and finally changed the subject: "This matter has been said for a long time, but at present, I should be loyal to His Majesty and completely defeat Yuan Shu's traitor."

"Well, not bad." Liu Xie seemed very satisfied with Cao Cao's reaction at this time, but nodded meaningfully and said, "In the previous battle, Yuan Shu did indeed give me a little surprise. It's no fun to go on. Let's see what this idiot who dares to risk the world will end up with!"
