Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 200 Your Majesty is forcing a smile!

After Cao Cao came back to his senses, the look in the eagle's eyes was as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Cheng Yu and said:
"Zhongde! Do you know what you are talking about?"

Cheng Yu didn't change his face, and said with a little indignation in his words:
"My lord! Now whether you are in the court or in the opposition, you have already made great merit and virtue, and your grace and power are equal to the sky. You shouldn't just condescend to be a prime minister!"

"Look at that Liu Bei, if you hadn't brought him back to Xuchang, he would be just a country man now, but now he has overwhelmed you and become the emperor's uncle!"

"That's why I think it's only right for you to sit in that position, my lord!"

After the words fell, Cao Cao looked away, stood up and pondered for a long time!
Then he smiled, "Hehe, thank you, Zhongde, I accept your kindness!"

"However... the matter of proclaiming the emperor, it is better not to mention it again!"

"Why? My lord, the battle between you and Yuan Shao is imminent. At this time, you should be called the emperor and the king, so that you can call on the heroes of the world. It is a good time!"

Cheng Yu was full of doubts.

Cao Cao turned his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Could it be that you didn't see that although I, Cao Cao, have power in the court, there are still many people in the court who are devoted to the Han, and many ministers are still loyal to the emperor!"

"Besides, my current military strength is not as good as Yuan Shao's. Once I become emperor, I'm afraid I will suffer the consequences!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sneered, "If others don't say it, if I become emperor, Xun Yu will probably be the first to disagree. Why should I take this risk?"

Listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Cheng Yu was speechless for a while, and sighed helplessly!

"My lord's words are very true, but even so, my lord should have found out which imperial parties are earlier, so that I can make early plans for the future!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao showed a deep smile, "I have my good brother Cao Su, why should I be afraid of these idiots?"

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him with some puzzlement, "What do you mean? Could it be... the second lord is already planning to do something to these people?"

Cao Cao just smiled deeply after hearing this, without any explanation, but said:

"With my virtuous brother by my side, any henchman who leans towards the emperor will have nowhere to hide, and will definitely show up, ha ha!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded thoughtfully, and said with emotion:

"The second lord is really an arm of your prime minister. You have just returned to Xuchang, and immediately started to help you clean up the forces of all parties. It is really admirable!"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes inwardly.

You guys really know how to make up your mind, if I tell you that this hermaphrodite is more hateful than the emperor's henchmen, I'm afraid you won't believe it!

However, he naturally would not reveal to others that he knew Cao Su's inner voice. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You go to report to the emperor tomorrow, just say that I, Cao Cao, invited him to go hunting in Xutian next week. Remember, let all the civil and military generals in the court go, understand?"

"As ordered!"

Cheng Yu bowed respectfully, and then retreated!
And Cao Cao was alone in the room, staring out the window like a torch, and the doubts in his heart made him unable to calm down for a long time!

"What exactly is a clothing belt edict? Find a time, and you must go catch a gluttonous feast!"

……

the other side!After Liu Bei returned to the mansion arranged by Cao Cao, except for the time of going to court, he almost kept the door behind closed doors. Even when he went out, he always bowed and bowed when he met dignitaries. Dare to have any slack!
After this incident reached Cao Cao's ears, he laughed three times, but his fear of Liu Bei grew deeper in his heart!
How can such a person not be valued by him Cao Cao who lives under the fence and gains power but is not arrogant?

As for the Son of Heaven, when he learned that Cao Cao was going to invite Xu Tian to hunt, the first thing he said was to ask Cao Su if he would go?If Cao Su went, he would go. If Cao Su didn't go, he wouldn't go. No matter how Cheng Yu persuaded him, he would not change his mind.

Helpless, Cheng Yu had no choice but to tell Cao Cao about the incident.

Cao Cao looked weird after hearing this!
He could see that since Cao Su came to Xuchang, the emperor in his hands almost didn't want to do anything. Every time he met him in the court, he would ask where Cao Su was, so that he didn't even bother to review the official documents. , wishing to have a detailed talk with Cao Su all night, playing tricks and tricks.

Cao Cao even thought that there was something wrong with His Majesty's sexual orientation...

But when he thought of Liu Xie's bottomless city, Cao Cao subconsciously felt that the emperor must be hiding some big move, so he chose to let Cao Su cover his eyes.

Thinking about this clearly, Cao Cao became more on guard every day...

One night, Liu Bei was waiting at the mansion to study, when suddenly there was a light knock on the back door of his mansion.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows slightly, with some confusion in his eyes.

These days, he hardly interacts with anyone other than going to court, why would anyone come to him when there is a curfew?And it's the back door!

Then he put down the scroll and opened the door. Dong Cheng rushed in cautiously, his eyes full of vigilance. Seeing no one was following him, he closed the door and bowed to Liu Bei!
"Uncle Liu! I'm Dong Cheng! Be polite!"

"Uncle Dong Guo?" After seeing the visitor clearly, Liu Bei couldn't help being startled, full of puzzlement, "It's already curfew, why are you visiting late at night?"

Dong Chen sighed, and said with grief and indignation:
"Uncle Liu Huang, to be honest, there are so many people in the daytime, I really have no choice but to disturb the emperor at this time!"

After Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked, and then he looked outside and led Dong Cheng into the room.
"Uncle Guo, can you and I go back to the room and talk about it in detail?"

"Good! Good! That's exactly what I mean!" Dong Cheng was not polite, and then walked into the room with Liu Bei...

After the two chatted for a while, Liu Bei couldn't help asking with a sullen face:
"You mean that Cao Cao is now the same as Dong Zhuo back then, hegemony governs the court, and power is in the hands of the people? Is that right or not?"

"Yes, Uncle Emperor!" Dong Cheng said with tears in his eyes at this time, seemingly extremely sad, "The old minister has followed the emperor for many years, and seeing him being coerced by villains to hold power, feels like a knife is piercing his heart. Even if the emperor doesn't say anything, The old minister also knows that he has suffered for Cao Cao for a long time!"

"Uncle! Don't look at the dragon chair that the emperor is sitting in the court, but he has nothing to rely on. Your Majesty can only look at us loyal old officials!"

However, Liu Bei frowned slightly, and asked in doubt, "But I have seen that the emperor's complexion is very good recently, especially after seeing Lord Cao Sucao, I feel that His Majesty's face is flushed, and I can't see any distress and humiliation. ?”

"Your Majesty is forcing a smile! Uncle Liu Huang!" Dong Cheng said with tears of blood and snot, "The whole Xuchang is Cao Cao's power at this time, can he show any dissatisfaction?"

"Everyone knows that thief Cao is very suspicious. The reason why Your Majesty came into contact with Cao Su must be to confuse Cao Cao's mind!"

"Did His Majesty tell you all this?" Liu Bei asked again.

"No!" Dong Cheng shook his head, "But even if His Majesty doesn't say anything, the old minister can be sure of His Majesty's thoughts!"

Liu Bei was silent. After hearing Dong Cheng's words, he couldn't help him to think about these things. Even if Dong Cheng's words were not true, they were absolutely inseparable. Tang, it was Cao Cao who asserted a long time ago that there is no such thing as the emperor. If Cao Cao did not have Dong Zhuo's heart, he would not believe it.

Now that the Son of Heaven is in dire straits, he is naturally obliged.

Dong Cheng thought he didn't believe him, then bowed his head and said to Liu Bei:

"Uncle! Tomorrow is the day when Cao Cao invites His Majesty to go hunting in Xu Tian. That night, I have already arranged the route to enter the palace. As long as you meet His Majesty, he will definitely explain it to you in person!"

When Liu Bei heard that the emperor wanted to enter the palace, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Minister! Accept the order!"
