Chapter 904

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Cao Cao didn't say anything for a long time, and he felt that he was right. This was the condition for Liu Jing to avoid the Hefei Battle. He gave Luoyang to him and got the strategic land of Luoyang. He could attack Bingzhou in the north, occupy Xuchang in the east, and attack Nanyang in the south. Hefei seemed insignificant.

More importantly, getting Luoyang is equivalent to getting two capitals. Then the Han Kingdom can be immediately promoted to the Han Dynasty. The people's will, relying solely on Hebei and Bingzhou, how can it fight against the Han army?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "The Central Plains is my place of rebellion. He wants to occupy Luoyang, so go to dream."

"Father, the child heard that Liu Xie was provoking the relationship between the Southern Royal Family and Liu Jing recently. He proposed to place the ancestral temple sacrifices of the Southern Royal Family in Luoyang. This became an excuse for Liu Jing to go to Luoyang to worship the ancestral temple. He didn't even bring 50,000 troops, just bring 5,000 people. Once he creates a conflict, his army will immediately break out of Tongguan and march into Luoyang, and occupy Luoyang with justification."

Cao Cao nodded, "That's a fool who has failed and has enough trouble. I'll go see him now."

After the Fu incident, Cao Cao strictly forbidden the royal relatives and current officials to contact Emperor Liu Xie of Han. In order to control Liu Xie, he did not hesitate to marry his two daughters to Liu Xie to replace Empress Fu. However, because Cao Cao and Liu Jing had reached a compromise, Cao Cao was eventually forced to retain the name of Empress Fu, and his two daughters were Yuan Concubine and Guifei respectively.

However, in the past two years, Cao Cao gradually relaxed the restrictions on Liu Xie. On the one hand, Liu Xie, who was originally incompetent and cowardly, was completely subdued by Cao Cao and did not dare to have any unfair intentions. On the other hand, Liu Jing's aggressive rise turned the Han Dynasty into the Han Dynasty step by step. People in the world, regardless of scholars and common people, gradually forgot the heavens of Yedu and regarded Liu Jing as orthodox.

This is the contradiction between Cao Cao. Although he hoped to replace the Han Dynasty with Wei, and the people's forgetting the Han Dynasty was also his hope, he soon discovered that the people did not forget the Han Dynasty, but regarded Liu Jing's Chang'an Han Dynasty as the Han Dynasty. The limelight of the Han Dynasty had far surpassed the Wei Dynasty.

After repeated weighing, Cao Cao decided to relax his control over Liu Xie a little, allowing the demise of the Han Dynasty to show up again, reminding people that the Han and Tian still existed, not only relaxing Liu Xie's connection with the outside world, but even when the Han-Xiong War broke out, Cao Cao issued an order to prepare for the war in the name of Tian.

However, Liu Xie's performance really disappointed Cao Cao. He didn't say anything about it, but his small move was caught by Liu Jing, which gave Liu Jing an excuse to plot against Luoyang. How could Cao Cao not be angry?

Cao Cao rushed into Anyang Palace angrily. He whispered to several eunuchs in front of the hall: "Where is the sky, I will say that the minister has important things to ask for a meeting."

Cao Cao claimed to be a humble minister, but his tone was extremely harsh. Several eunuchs were so scared that they ran away.

At this time, Liu Xie was having lunch with Yuanfei Cao Jie. Liu Xie has gained a lot of weight in the past two years. He is over 40 years old. His long-term life in the deep palace made him unable to contact the outside world, and his thinking gradually became dull. He was like a bird growing up in a cage. He no longer had the dignity and bloodiness that an emperor should have. He was only satisfied with the title and title of emperor, and he only hoped to live like this forever and become the great Han sky forever.

As for the great achievements of the revival of the Han Dynasty, he had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care. His only concern for the outside world was that Liu Jing's day by day was that he was on the verge of needles and needles. He was a person who threatened his vital interests, made his throne unstable, deprived him of the name of heaven that was left. In his heart, Liu Jing's threat to him far exceeded Cao Cao.

"What is Your Majesty thinking?" Cao Jie, who was sitting opposite him, asked with a smile.

Cao Jie is only eighteen years old this year. Although he is very pretty, he is thin and has a sharp contrast with Liu Xie, who is fat. After a while, Liu Xie came to his senses and said, "I am considering the sacrifices of the ancestral temples on the morning of the morning. I don't understand why everyone says that they are in poor health and cannot participate in the temple festival."

"Did Your Majesty say that you would call all the royal family to discuss the matter two days ago?"

Liu Xie nodded, "It was agreed, but in the past two days, many royal families, especially those who are highly respected, have come to ask for leave, saying that they are not feeling well and cannot participate in the temple festival on a day. But now there are still twenty days left before the temple festival, which is clearly because they are making excuses that they do not want to participate."

"Your Majesty is right. This should be a excuse, but does Your Majesty understand why so many people have to make excuses not to participate? Is it the same in the past two years?"

"No, I basically participated in the temple festivals two years ago. This year, I didn't tell the truth no matter how I asked, I couldn't understand it."

As the two were talking, an eunuch ran in panic and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei is here. If you have any urgent matters, please see Your Majesty."

Cao Cao's arrival made Liu Xie shudder instinctively. Cao Jie quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, my father may have come for the enthronement of the world. There will be no problem. Please be relieved."

Liu Xie thought about it and there was no battle recently, so there should be no major events. He let go of his heart and said to the eunuch: "Please wait in the side palace, and I will arrive immediately after changing my clothes."

Liu Xie didn't care about the meal, so he changed into a regular dress and hurried towards the front hall.

In the side hall, Cao Cao sat alone on his sword, and dozens of golden-armored guards stood on both sides. Those were the confidant guards sent by Cao Cao, who controlled the security of the entire palace. There were also several eunuchs who served Liu Xie, who were also loyal to Cao Cao. With them, no matter what Liu Xie did or said, they could not escape Cao Cao's eyes.

At this time, footsteps came from the back hall. Liu Xie, surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs, quickly walked into the side hall. Cao Cao stood up and bowed, "I'm going to see Your Majesty."

"Donald Wei doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down."

Liu Xie asked Cao Cao to sit down, and asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know if Mr. Wei has something urgent to discuss with me."

Cao Cao said lightly: "It's not an urgent matter, I just want to discuss the temple sacrifice with Your Majesty on the Anniversary Day. I heard that Your Majesty is preparing to hold a grand ancestral temple sacrifice this year, right?"

Liu Xie didn't understand what Cao Cao meant, so he had to say carefully: "I have this plan at the moment."

"I heard that Luoyang also has to hold a temple festival, but I don't know if it's a rumor or a fact."

When Cao Cao mentioned the Luoyang temple sacrifice, Liu Xie suddenly became nervous. It was his scrupulous attitude. He wanted to disgust Liu Jing and asked the royal families in the south to go to Luoyang for sacrifice, but he did not invite Liu Jing.

Liu Xie could not deny it, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I mainly consider that it is inconvenient for the southern royal family to come to Ye, so I suggest that they hold temple sacrifices in Luoyang. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Cao Cao could no longer resist his anger and said coldly: "The southern royal family means that His Majesty is also preparing to invite the King of Han to Luoyang for sacrifice?"

Liu Xie was startled and waved his hand quickly and said, "No, I didn't invite him, Mr. Wei must have heard the rumor wrong."

"Hmph" Cao Cao snorted heavily, stood up and said, "Today, the envoy of the King of Han came. He brought news from the King of Han. Liu Jing also went to Luoyang to attend the temple festival. Not only did he want to go, he also led 50,000 troops to go. His Majesty said what should we do."

Liu Xie was stunned. He couldn't react for a long time. What did Cao Cao mean?

"Duke Wei, what does he mean?"

"Does Your Majesty really not understand?" Cao Cao stared at him with a cold look. Liu Xie felt panic in his heart and shook his head quickly, "I really don't know."

"Okay, I will tell you that His Majesty has created an opportunity for him. He will use the excuse to go to Luoyang Temple to worship, and then leave 50,000 troops in Luoyang, or he will not leave again. I said this, should Your Majesty understand?"

Liu Xie's face turned red and white. He finally realized that he had done something stupid. He held a temple festival in Luoyang, but gave Liu Jing the opportunity to seize Luoyang. He was regretful and scared in his heart. Cao Cao clearly came to raise an army to ask for guilt. What should he do?

Liu Xie stuttered his lips, and after a while, he whispered: "What should I do now? I am willing to listen to Mr. Wei's arrangements."

Cao Cao was angry, and he wanted to kill this idiot with one knife, but this man was God after all, and it was useful to him. He resisted his anger and said coldly: "Please issue an order immediately. In order to save money, all temple sacrifices on the sun will be cancelled, and all royal families will worship their ancestors at home."

Liu Xie did not want to cancel the temple sacrifice in Yedu, but he did not dare to refuse, so he nodded, "Okay, I will immediately issue an order to cancel all temple sacrifices on the day and on the day."

Cao Cao's face cleared a little, his tone became gentle, and he said, "I am actually thinking about Your Majesty. Liu Jing has decided not to hold a temple sacrifice in Chang'an on the same day. If Your Majesty insists on doing it alone, I believe that many royal families will dare to attend the temple sacrifice. Liu Jing is powerful and the royal families cannot afford him. Your Majesty, please do it yourself."

After saying that, Cao Cao bowed and turned around and left. Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this. He finally understood why so many royal families were asking for leave. It was fake to be sick, and it was true to be afraid of Liu Jing.

He felt his legs tremble, and a strong sense of fear enveloped his heart. After a long time, he said to himself: "Isn't it long?"

On the afternoon of the same day, Cao Cao summoned the officials of Wei State at Tongquetai and officially announced his decision to make Cao Pi the chief and the heir of Wei State. Cao Cao immediately ordered a general amnesty for prisoners in the world to celebrate the establishment of Wei State. The city of Yedu was full of joy, but countless people were also lost, especially Cao Zhi's supporters, who were all afraid of a disaster.

In the evening, Sima Yi was sitting in the inner hall reading a book in the VIP Hotel in Yedu. The carnival in the city in the afternoon had ended, but at this time, you could still hear the sound of firecrackers coming from afar.

Sima Yi did not expect that Cao Cao would announce the establishment of Cao Pi as the world at this time, usually after the New Year, the beginning of the new year, and Cao Cao could not wait to announce it. This was really a bit unusual.

However, Sima Yi could also guess a little reason. According to the information they received, although the signs of Cao Pi's victory were becoming more and more obvious, Cao Zhi and the forces supporting him were not willing to give up and were still preparing to make a last fight after the New Year. At this time, Cao Cao declared Cao Pi as the world must be what he felt.

In addition, Cao Cao made Cao Pi the world at this time probably to prepare for war in Hefei.

At this time, a guard hurriedly walked to the hall and bowed to Sima Yi and said, "Report to the Secretary of State, Li Ganjun asked for a meeting."

Sima Yi suddenly felt refreshed and hurriedly said, "Please invite him in."

Li Shanjun was Li Fu. He was appointed as the captain of the army and was the official contact person of the Han Dynasty in Yedu. He was a public identity. Any letters from the Han Dynasty to the Wei State or the court were generally conveyed by Li Fu.

On the other hand, Li Fu would also collect some major information from Yedu and pass it on to Chengdu. This information is not top secret, but is all public information. It is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao knew that Li Fu had done a lot of secret things, but he could not find any evidence to touch him.
