Chapter 109 The whole of Chang'an turned into a mess(1/3)

 There is not much contact between Xi Yu and Liu Bei.

He just heard that Liu Bei had planted seedlings in the yard, and he felt a little curious, so he couldn't help but go and take a look.

Sure enough, Liu Bei actually grew peppers.

You know, in this era of Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as chili pepper.

I don’t know how many years it would take for this thing to be truly introduced to China. It wasn’t until the early Ming Dynasty that large-scale peppers were produced.

But now, Liu Bei actually planted it by accident.

Xiyu knew the function of chili pepper, so he was naturally not polite at all.

And come to think of it, in the original history, even if Liu Bei grew this thing, he probably didn't know the specific use of peppers.

Perhaps, it has been forgotten in the long river of history.

This is normal.

After getting some peppers from Liu Bei, Xiyu did not take the initiative to visit him again.

And Cao Cao was somewhat aware of this matter.

Cao Cao trusted Xi Yu very much and did not ask too many questions.

He only knew that Xi Yu got something from Liu Bei. It was not until Xi Yu promoted the addition of chili pepper that Cao Cao felt more relieved.

Of course this is a story for later!

After leaving Liu Bei, until the end of the year, the entire Yanzhou was peaceful.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.

A new round of spring plowing has begun in full swing!

And just at the beginning of the year, the eyes of the princes from all over the Han Dynasty were unanimously fixed on the Guanzhong area.

I don’t know why.

A gap began to appear between Guo Si and Li Jue, who were stationed in the Sili area.

As the gap grew larger, huge conflicts gradually emerged between the two.

Both of them wanted to take the Emperor of Han as their own.

Perhaps because the princes' eyes have not fallen on the emperor in recent years, the two people began to relax a lot.

The original alliance began to fall apart in an instant.

Now, over a period of time, the conflicts between the two have begun to become more and more serious.

Within the Juancheng Yamen Office.

Not long after the New Year, due to matters between Guo and Li, Xiyu and he could only go to the government office to discuss matters.

These two people had the same hatred before. The Emperor of Han was under the control of these two people, and it was difficult for other princes to intervene.

But now, as the rift between the two began to arise, Cao Cao and others saw a lot of opportunities.

Inside the government office, Xun Yu was the first to speak.

"My lord, Guo Si and Li Jue are fighting among themselves. This is our chance to please the emperor!"

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Xi Zhicai also smiled.

"I heard that the Emperor is about to return east at this time. It is just the right time for us to welcome the Emperor!"

Cao Cao was also a little moved.

Back then, Xun Yu and Xi Yu both talked about the benefits of flattering the emperor.

Cao Cao naturally understood that if the emperor could be close to him, he would be able to do things much more smoothly.

Even using the name of the emperor to conquer other states is a very good thing.

Li Jue and Guo Si are having internal strife!

Xiyu is somewhat clear about this matter.

If I remember correctly, it was probably just after the New Year, when Li Jue's subordinate Fan Chou planned to lead his army eastward, and Li Jue was a little worried about Fan Chou becoming bigger.

After all, compared to Li Jue himself, Fan Chou's character in the entire Xiliang army is much better than him.

Fan Chou is more popular.

In addition, last year, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others led an army to attack. Li Jue realized that Fan Chou intended to let Han Sui and others go, and he had already become somewhat resentful of Fan Chou.

Afterwards, Li Jue and his nephew invited Fan Chou and Li Meng to attend the banquet.

As a result, Fan Chou and others had no idea that Li Jue was hosting the so-called Hongmen Banquet.

At this banquet, Li Jue's nephew killed Fan Chou and others without hesitation.

After this incident, all the generals under Li Jue began to feel a little frightened.

But Li Jue didn't care much about it.

He and Guo Bang are still the same as usual.

It's a pity that Guo Si's wife is jealous and hates Li Jue for giving her to Guo Si's concubine.

Then he began to sow discord between the two.

This gap appeared because of this, and because of Li Jue's previous killing of Fan Chou and others, Guo Si was afraid that Li Jue wanted to kill him.

Therefore, the two started fighting.

The fight between these two people naturally attracted the attention of all the princes in the world.

"I think it's not time yet!"

Hearing that everyone in the government office was already planning to please the emperor, Xi Yu couldn't help but say something out loud.

As soon as he said these words, the entire government office lobby fell silent for an instant.

"What do you mean by Fengyi's words?"

Cao Cao quickly asked Xi Yu.

"Everyone, although Li Jue and Guo Si started fighting this time, they did not appear to be losing both sides!"

"If we have the intention to please the emperor this time, it is inevitable that we will not reunite these two people!"

"After all, compared with the emperor's interests, some misunderstandings are nothing!"

Xi Yu put it extremely simply. Generally speaking, the problem between the two people is not a big deal.

The two of them had some kind of friendship before.

If other external forces appear now, the two people are likely to stand together again.

When these two people stand together, the entire Sili area is controlled, making it even more difficult for others to interfere in the emperor's affairs!

For Xi Yu, the emperor himself will return east sooner or later.

Rather than intervening now, it is better to just wait and wait for the emperor to walk out of Chang'an City.

"What Fengyi said does make some sense!"

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded.

The truth is correct. If others take action, it will be easy for Li Jue and Guo Si, who were already fighting, to reunite.

It's just that the opportunity to serve the emperor is hard to let go!

"The Emperor also wants to return eastward, but today's Luoyang is no longer the imperial capital it was back then!"

"Now that the Emperor is in Chang'an, it is difficult for our army to enter Chang'an. We might as well wait for the Emperor to come out on his own!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Xi Yu explained casually.

"That's right, the emperor will return eastward sooner or later. Since he wants to return eastward, he must leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang!"

"When he leaves Chang'an, the real opportunity will be to please the emperor!"

……

Sili, in Chang'an City!

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was only fourteen years old, was in Chang'an Palace.

With the severe drought in Guanzhong, the daily food supply of the entire Chang'an Palace has been reduced a lot.

Li Jue and Guo Si's attitude toward him became more and more like Dong Zhuo's back then.

Liu Xie, who is getting older, knows that if he wants to get rid of the control of these two people, he can no longer stay in Chang'an.

He wants to return to Luoyang and return to the original imperial capital.

If you want to rebuild the entire Han Dynasty, you must have someone you can truly rely on.
