Chapter 42 I will serve the emperor and not be a minister [please seek monthly votes for reading]

Outside the Beigong Gate.

In the streets and alleys.

Cao Ang looked at the map in his hand and his expression became a little strange.

Hey, where is my jade seal?

Didn't he enter the North and South Palaces to wander around in search of the jade seal hidden in the dry well in the palace?

Good guy, I forgot all about it in the end.

I only remember arguing with the Empress Dowager He for a long time, and everything else was forgotten.

Not to mention going to various palaces to search, I didn't even go out to Fanglin Garden. It's really outrageous.

Beauty is misleading the country!

The ancients are sincere and I cannot deceive them.

The first sword coming ashore is to kill the person you want first.

There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature.

Of course, having said that, Cao Ang still only had one thought in his mind at this moment.

So delicious!!!

He decisively rolled up the map, put it in his arms, and happily headed home.

The Imperial Seal is in the deep well inside the two palaces, and it won't run away. As long as you find it before leaving Luoyang City, there will be no problem.

On the contrary, intimate communication with the Queen Mother cannot be had at any time.

Which is more important or less important, no need to say more!

What's more, Cao Ang has figured out something now.

That is, the most important political resource in the two palaces is not the imperial seal, but the emperor himself.

I had not thought of this before, because Cao Ang had not considered rescuing the emperor and the queen mother, so he naturally neglected this point.

It's different now.

The Queen Mother is one of her own, and our beloved Majesty is already half the age of Cao Ang.

After rescuing them, is there any more important political resource than the mother and son?

The jade seal of Chuan Guo certainly has a noble symbolic meaning and represents the change of imperial power.

But it's just a symbol after all.

This thing is dead, and it must be accompanied by strong support in order to play its due role.

Yuan Shu is a good example.

After obtaining the Imperial Seal, he directly expanded his ambitions and proclaimed himself emperor. Not only did he fail to realize his dream of being a loner, but he also attracted people from all over the world to attack him.

A handful of good cards were played sparsely, and everything was lost, completely confirming the title of Big Skeleton King.

But the emperor is different.

Whoever controls the emperor can obey the emperor's orders and obey the emperor's orders, lower the dimension and attack various local forces.

Especially Liu Bian, his power as the emperor was even more powerful, and he was more legitimate than Liu Xie, who was later forcibly supported by Dong Zhuo.

According to the original historical trajectory.

The Cao Wei Group welcomed back the emperor, and Liu Xie was welcomed back by Dong Zhuo. In fact, the legality was not pure. After all, he was not the successor personally selected by the late emperor.

Therefore, when implementing the strategy of serving the emperor and disobeying his ministers, it often failed because people did not recognize Liu Xie as the emperor.

On the other hand, Liu Bian is different.

No matter how ambitious and rebellious the local forces are, they must recognize Liu Bian's identity as Emperor Liu Bian, even if he is forcibly deposed by Dong Zhuo.

If Liu Bian can be restored to the position of emperor in the future and utilized, I am afraid that the resistance from various places will be much smaller.

So overall.

Cao Ang was still satisfied with his operation.

It seems like he is just obsessed with women.

For the sake of Queen Mother He, she seemed to have no hesitation.

In fact, there is another level of consideration, which is that he devoted all his energy to the world of Cao Wei.

…………

Because it was not too late at this time.

Cao Ang originally thought that his father, Cao Cao, should be in the military camp at this time, or maybe getting together with Ding Yuan's group to discuss important matters.

But as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Suddenly, he discovered that Cao Cao was standing with his hands behind his hands, standing in the yard and looking up at the sky.

The whole person seemed to be full of despair.

The vague expression on his face seemed particularly desolate in this early autumn.

"Father, what are you..."

Hearing his son's voice, Cao Cao looked away, and then showed a wry smile to Cao Ang.

"well!"

"Son, something big has happened!"

"Could it be that destiny really doesn't favor the Han Dynasty, and it has to allow a treasonous thief like Dong Zhuo to succeed before it is willing to give up?"

Cao Ang helped Cao Cao sit aside.

After thinking silently for a moment, he asked tentatively: "Ding Fujun's organization failed?"

Although now my heart is full of sadness, happiness and loneliness.

But when he smelled the extremely strong smell of powder on his son's body, Cao Cao couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.

This kid!

No wonder he was away from home all day long, it turned out that he was out fooling around.

Such a strong smell on your body will never come out unless you have close contact with a woman.

Brat, you have the style of your father!

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know who the smell of powder on Cao Ang's body came from, otherwise he would have drawn his big sword and struck at the big boy with one strike.

…

After shaking his head to clear away all the random thoughts, Cao Cao answered Cao Ang's question seriously.

"Yes, it can be described as a complete failure!"

"I thought that if we all got together and worked together, we would be able to compete with Dong Zhuo."

"Early this morning, several armies led by General He Jin's old army suddenly launched an attack on Ding Yuan's garrison."

"If Yuan Shao hadn't brought some troops to rescue him in time, Ding Yuan would have died in the rebellion."

Cao Ang was silent.

This narrative reveals a very important issue, that is, the remaining troops that originally belonged to He Jin have all rebelled and surrendered to Dong Zhuo.

I have to say that this big black bear is really quite capable.

He quietly took care of these troops, hiding them, and prepared a sneak attack on Ding Yuan.

Although the sneak attack was not successful, according to the scene described by Cao Cao, Ding Yuan's troops were probably scattered.

If there is any follow-up action, this unit will not be able to be used. I am afraid that Brother Ding Yuan will have to be a war reporter, covering the whole process.

After a moment of silence.

Cao Ang still opened his mouth to analyze: "After He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, the remaining generals of the army were already leaderless. Recently, they have been controlled by Uncle Benchu, who has a high reputation."

"But we can only control it and use our own status to coordinate. If there is no external pressure, this situation can continue."

"But it happened that Lu Bu rebelled a few days ago. Dong Zhuo probably also promised some benefits to these generals. External pressure is now coming. How can uncle Benchu ​​suppress it?"

Cao Cao nodded.

He also understands these principles.

After letting out a long sigh, Cao Cao couldn't help but slap him on the thigh.

"If that's all, that's all. But everyone else was also frightened by the changes in the situation."

"Bao Xin, the cavalry captain who had been the most determined main combatant in the past and had always insisted on striking first and killing Dong Zhuo in the city. Now that he saw that nothing could be done, he had already returned to Mount Tai with more than a thousand soldiers he had recruited.

The county has gone."

"This is true even for the staunch militant faction. The other mediators and the wait-and-see faction who stay out of the matter will probably perform even worse."

"I don't know how many people have secretly accepted Dong Zhuo's olive branch and expressed their loyalty to him privately."

"The Han Dynasty was in a difficult situation!"
