What if I were the emperor?

This question was so straightforward that there was no cover up at all. Not only was Cao Cao shocked, but even Cao Bao, who had been waiting quietly aside, was also shocked by Liu Xuan's words.

A cold sweat on the forehead.

The emperor was the highest ruler of the Han Dynasty, the lord of the world, and the most respected person in the world. Sitting in that position meant that he owned the world and had the supreme power to kill or seize anyone's life.

And Liu Xuan made it clear in front of the two of them: I want to be the emperor!

Cao Cao's expression changed uncertainly, and his eyes when looking at Liu Xuan were not as peaceful as before. He seemed to be a little surprised, a little curious and a little appreciative. But he didn't say anything, he just sat there for a while.

After calming down, he reached for the water bowl, took a small sip, and then sat there quietly as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Are you waiting for my next step?"

Liu Xuan muttered in his heart, while also thinking about what to say next.

In fact, it was not impulsive that he would say it so bluntly before. He thought about it carefully and felt that for a person like Cao Cao, playing tricks with him is simply asking for trouble - don't look at his cultivation.

It has been a long time, but playing tricks is not what he is good at, otherwise he would not have been tricked and almost died.

Since the other party will definitely notice it, and it may even easily cause Cao Cao's displeasure, it's better to just say it outright and look domineering.

Isn't Cao Cao very domineering? If such a person wants to be used for his own purposes, he must be more domineering than him!

It was based on this idea that Liu Xuan simply expressed his intention to become emperor. Of course, he was not unprepared. If Cao Cao not only did not want to help him, but also wanted to go against him, then he would not mind sending this man to him in advance.

The heroes are on their way.

"If these heroes cannot be used, they should be removed as soon as possible to avoid causing a lot of trouble in the future!"

Just where Cao Cao couldn't see, Liu Xuan's hands had been clenched into fists. Although there was no abnormality around his body, the smoke and clouds formed by the dragon's energy in his body were already fluctuating violently. As long as Liu Xuan wanted to, he could immediately

Exploding huge power and killing the man in front of him on the spot - this was just the last resort. Liu Xuan really didn't want to kill Cao Cao directly if it was not necessary.

Fortunately, although Cao Cao didn't speak, his expression seemed to be contemplating a decision. As long as he didn't refuse immediately, there would be a chance.

"I heard that Cao Yilang's ambition is to be the general who conquered the West? I don't know why?"

The topic suddenly changed to Cao Cao's ambitions. Although it was a bit sudden, it diluted the awkward atmosphere in the room a lot. Even Cao Bao, who was sweating on his head beside him, felt light all over and relaxed a little.

However, after relaxing, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly walked to the door, listened for a while, and made sure that no one was outside. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that if someone was eavesdropping, he might hear it.

The conversation just now was so frightening that he ran away, so it was his turn to investigate.

So from the beginning, Liu Xuan secretly released the white crane to prevent anyone from prying.

When Cao Cao heard Liu Xuan's question, he just thought for a moment and answered directly: "Eliminate the troubles of foreign tribes and open up new territories for the country!"

General Zhengxi commanded Yongliang in terms of authority, faced many foreign tribes in the northwest, and stationed in Chang'an. Moreover, due to the geographical location of the Han Dynasty, if he wanted to expand the country's territory, the most likely way was in the northwest. Therefore, Zhengxi

The general is the first-class real power position among military positions.

At the same time, from the fact that Cao Cao wanted to be a general in the Western Conquest, it can be seen that this man was more interested in military affairs at this time.

Liu Xuan also knew about Cao Cao's ambitions, and Cao Cao had talked about his ambitions when chatting with others before. Therefore, he did not find it strange that Liu Xuan knew about his ambitions. Instead, he felt that the eldest prince did not come here on impulse.

I should have checked my details carefully before coming here.

"So what does Cao Yilang think of the current situation in the world?"

As soon as this question came up, Cao Cao immediately shut up!

If others asked, he might be able to talk at length, sharing his views on the world situation and all his strategies to discuss with others. However, the identity of the person in front of him was too sensitive, not to mention that this person had previously stated that he wanted to

As the lord of the world, what he says in his stomach is not very pleasant to people in the royal family.

Liu Xuan also saw Cao Cao's concern, but he smiled softly, looking unconcerned, and said: "But it doesn't matter, just treat it as a normal conversation!"

Such a plain sentence seemed nothing unusual, but it unconsciously put him in a superior position. Cao Cao was not unaware of it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Although the royal family of the Han Dynasty was not that grand, even when the emperor saw the three princes and princes, he had to leave the table and stand up. After the other party had finished saluting, he had to return the salute in accordance with the law before he could sit back. However, this does not mean that the royal family did not have any grandeur at all.

Already.

Facing a person like Cao Cao who is not even a high-level person, it is nothing to show off.

Cao Cao thought about it, and finally felt that it was okay to say it. Anyway, in this situation... the other party couldn't do anything to him. After all, he was just a prince, the one with the least presence and the least power - if he knew what Liu Xuan was doing now

I'm ready to take his life, but I don't know what my thoughts are.

"The bandits are rampant in the world, causing people's livelihood to wither. This is a sign of great chaos!"

After Liu Xuan heard this, he knew that he still had many reservations. The situation in the world was not just as simple as gangs running rampant and people's livelihood declining. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, garrison officials in various places had the power to recruit and command troops. Then at the beginning of this year, the emperor approved Liu Yan's recruitment.

A memorial restored the state pastoral authority and gave it greater authority in the local area. The state pastoral authority was extremely powerful, almost equivalent to a local emperor. The situation of this group of powerful separatists had begun to take shape.

At the same time, Cao Cao did not mention the dirty things the old emperor had done over the years - minting coins, selling offices and titles, and other ridiculous things. As for the 'swimming pool' built in the palace specifically for his entertainment

On the contrary, it is nothing.

"Cao Yilang thinks how to solve it?"

Cao Cao thought about it. In fact, he had also thought about this problem when he had nothing to do. Even in the current situation, what should be done to bring the Han Dynasty back to its prosperous age? Unfortunately, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this problem was almost unsolvable.

After holding it in for a long time, he really couldn't think of any answer. In the end, Liu Xuan's words shocked him into a cold sweat.

"If you ask me, since it's rotten to the root, why not dig out the roots, then break them and then stand up!"

When Liu Xuan said this, it was as if he was talking about pulling out an old tree and planting a new one. I'm afraid no one who heard it would have thought that he was talking about a huge country.

“Break and then stand?”

Cao Cao was just shocked at first, and even suspected that the person in front of him was not the eldest prince, but someone else pretending to be him? Otherwise, how could he say such a thing? You must know that the so-called breaking and then building up is equivalent to destroying everything that exists.

Destroy it, but in that case, will the so-called Han Dynasty still exist?

Of course he didn't know that Liu Xuan didn't care about the Han Dynasty or orthodoxy at all, all he wanted was the position of emperor.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Liu Xuan's words made sense, especially in line with his own thoughts. Because he would often have similar thoughts in his mind when no one was around, but because he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, he would always

Everyone would suppress this thought, but now that Liu Xuan mentioned it, the thought could no longer be controlled. It popped out and grew into a towering tree in a matter of seconds.

At this time, Cao Cao felt that the Liu Xuan in front of him was very suitable for him. If he could become the emperor, the Han Dynasty would truly be revitalized and become a powerful country again.

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he began to seriously think about whether he should really stand together with Liu Xuan, and what benefits would it bring to him if they stood together?

"Undoubtedly, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, I will be a minister of the dragon for the first time, and I will probably achieve more than a general in the west in the future!"

The benefits were obvious, but there were also a lot of troubles. Cao Cao was not the kind of person who would be directly dazzled by the immediate benefits. After calming down for a while, he realized how many troubles he had to face.

"Cao Yilang, don't worry. Someone will naturally take care of all the troubles we face!"

Liu Xuan had been observing Cao Cao's expression, and at this time he already knew that Cao Cao was moved. Although he did not necessarily accept Cao Cao as his younger brother, Cao Cao did have the intention to unite with him. As long as he had this intention, he would not be able to

Let Cao Mengde go, and as long as I can always outdo him in the future, I won't be afraid of having other thoughts.

Now, properly displaying his methods can make Cao Cao more confident in himself.

"Why did the eldest prince say this?"

"The people Cao Yilang is worried about are nothing more than the general and Zhang Rang and others. However, those two parties are now on the same level. It won't be long before they will fight to the death. By then..."

Cao Cao understood what Liu Xuan meant as soon as he heard this: "When the time comes, take advantage of the situation when both sides are hurt before doing something big?" This plan sounded good, but Cao Cao felt that it would not be that simple.

Liu Xuan smiled: "Of course it won't be so easy. Nowadays, the forces in the palace are chaotic, and it will take an evil person to eradicate all the chaos!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was confused at first, but then he looked shocked: "The prince wants to lure... foreign troops into Beijing?" How could he not be surprised? Because according to normal thinking, most of the forces in Beijing are royal forces, and the royal family is the most taboo.

When foreign troops entered Beijing, who knew that the man in front of them was actually doing the opposite?

Thinking again about what he said before, it seems that this prince is going to cause a bloody storm. He is so ruthless in his heart that it is rarely seen in the world.

However, Cao Cao felt that only in this way could one achieve great things.
