Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 22 The Dragon Slayer, Eventually Becomes a Dragon
It was not until evening that the imperial edict of Emperor Han arrived.

But what surprised Yuan Xi was that it was not an imperial decree to confer rewards, but an imperial edict to invite him to face the imperial palace.

During this period, Zhang Nan took people and sent all the males over ten years old from Cao Cao's nine clans to prison.

There are more than 2000 people.

On the way to the palace, Yuan Xi thought about those 2000 people.

Thinking about it, his scalp felt a little numb.

It's a pity that this is ancient times, either you die or I live.

Kindness does not survive.

Yuan Xi said with emotion: "There are more than 2000 people."

Chun Yuqiong also sighed: "The second son is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, but Cao thief is too cunning. It is really helpless."

"You said the emperor's son, what kind of official position will you give me?"

Chunyu Qiong shook his head, "The last general doesn't know, so he shouldn't be higher than the general."

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes and said: "But no matter what you give me, after returning home, the elder brother and the third younger brother are afraid that the sky will be turned upside down."

Chun Yuqiong replied: "At that time, the emperor was already in the hands of the Yuan family, and they would give them any official position they wanted."

The little eunuch led the crowd to the door of a study.

Looking back at the crowd of people behind him, he wondered: "The emperor is inside, General Yuan, they can't get in."

"Good talk, good talk."

Yuan Xi pointed at Han Meng and said, "Just follow me in."

Han Meng took two steps forward with his chest straight, his eyes fierce.

The little eunuch opened his mouth and said with a dry smile, "Please, both."

Han Meng took the lead to open the way, walked to the door of the study, and pushed open the door of the study.

Yuan Xi glanced inside, and found that the little emperor was sitting inside.

At this time, the little emperor was looking at them in horror.

Yuan Xi kicked Han Meng in the back, and said a lesson: "Who told you to open the door like that, apologize to the emperor."

Han Meng hurriedly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

Liu Xie forced a smile on his young cheeks, and said with a forced smile: "The general is innocent, please hurry up."

Deliberately looking for two words of defense for Han Meng, after thinking about it for a long time, I found that none of them were suitable.

This guy made it clear and didn't take him seriously.

He could only smile dryly and look at the people outside the door.

"Just stay outside."

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he ignored the people behind him and closed the door after entering.

"General Yuan is here."

The little emperor greeted with a smile.

Yuan Xi looked at the emperor in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a long time, I found that I hadn't saluted yet, so I saluted and said: "I pay homage to the emperor."

Liu Xie's face turned red, and he smiled and said, "Ai Qing is alive."

After finishing speaking, he said quite familiarly: "I bestow upon you that in the future, you will not go to the court, you will not be famous in praise, and you will go to the palace with your sword."

After all, he looked at him ingratiatingly.

Yuan Xi walked over and patted the shoulder of the emperor who seemed to be about the same age as himself, "You are also a poor man."

Liu Xie stared at him blankly.

Yuan Xi's voice was calm: "Your Majesty, do you know why the Liu family fell into such a state?"

Liu Xie lowered his head and shook his head again.

Yuan Xi looked at him and asked: "When Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake and rebelled, did you think he did it right?"

"There is no way to tyranny the Qin Dynasty, Gao Zu followed the way of heaven."

Yuan Xi smiled, "After Emperor Gaozu entered the Qin Palace, he did not kill Ziying. He was a benevolent monarch. But when Xiang Yu killed him, the emperor said that Xiang Yu was wrong, or Ziying was wrong?"

Liu Xie was stunned, speechless.

Yuan Xi sighed: "Your Majesty, I just want to say these things. In fact, the Liu family has come to this stage. In fact, no one can be blamed. It is purely because the Liu family has taken the blame. It is like the death of Qin II, who is to blame?"

"For such a great person as Qin Shihuang, the Qin Dynasty lasted only 15 years. Your Liu family has been treating you well for so many years. God has given you opportunities again and again. Look at what your Liu family has done?"

"Your father and his predecessor, which one is not worse than Qin Ershi?"

Liu Xie's face turned blue and he bit his lip tightly.

Yuan Xi said expressionlessly: "I know you are full of grievances, but think about it, what's wrong with Ziying? He surrendered and was killed."

"Think about what's wrong with those innocent people? They only want food and clothing, and they have the same wish as Emperor Gaozu did! It's a pity that you, the Liu family, forgot your original intention and asked for the dragon slayer for the people, and eventually became a dragon."

pat.

Liu Xie bent his knees and sat on the ground directly, his face pale.

Yuan Xi said softly: "Your Liu family is hopeless, and gods can't save you. You should know Cao Cao's attitude. I will give you a chance tomorrow to destroy his nine clans."

Liu Xie raised his head slowly, his eyes blank.

Yuan Xi knelt down and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, you are a smart man, so I want to save you. But with my father's character, I really don't know what he will do."

"I, what should I do?"

Liu Xie was in a daze. He thought about the rhetoric for a day, but he couldn't use it at all.

Yuan Xi said calmly: "Don't take chances, Zen position. Father is soft-hearted and will pity you. You must still have a way to survive, and you will live a very good life. Otherwise, I really don't know what his gang will do. .”

Liu Xie suddenly burst into tears.

Yuan Xi looked at Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he thought of Cao Cao in his heart.

If you are in the position of Cao Cao, how many people can really do better than Cao Cao?

At least Yuan Xi has no confidence in Yuan Shao.

Regarding the old bastard who poked his nose and scolded him, Yuan Xi felt that he was far inferior to Cao Cao.

"Okay, stop crying."

Yuan Xi went to help him: "At any rate, you have been well-clothed and well-fed all your life, and many ordinary people have never enjoyed your blessing in their entire lives."

Liu Xie suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "General Yuan, I don't want to be emperor anymore, I really don't want to be, can you tell your father? Let him be, I really don't want to be. Please."

Liu Xie whimpered.

Yuan Xi couldn't get up, so he simply sat on the ground, and said softly: "I know you are helpless and miserable, but in fact we are pretty much the same. You beg for mercy anyway. With your status as the emperor, as long as you are in the Zen position, anyone will be fine." I dare not kill you. Guess what happened to me?"

Liu Xie wiped away his tears and said blankly, "What's the matter?"

"I have an elder brother above me, and a third younger brother who is the most beloved by my father. They have been fighting for the position for many years. I suddenly made the greatest contribution. Who do you think can tolerate me?"

Liu Xie nodded and said: "Since ancient times, those who fight in the same room have all come here to fight for power and profit. General Yuan has made great military achievements. Even if he is willing to let someone else, he may not be retained by others."

He sighed, "Every man is innocent and he is guilty. You and I are both involved."

Yuan Xi laughed, "You really don't want to be emperor?"

Liu Xie shook his head, "I don't want to be."

Yuan Xi's eyes were burning, "You really don't want to?"

Liu Xie pursed his lips, and said unnaturally: "I want to be a good emperor, but I don't want to be a king of subjugation. As you said, the big man is rotten to the root, and there is no cure. I am just a puppet. This emperor, Inappropriate."

Yuan Xi stood up and said with a smile, "The emperor is looking for me?"

Liu Xie looked down at the black dragon robe on his body, and said, "They asked me to confer a title on General Yuan."
