Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao
Chapter 54 Holding the Emperor hostage
The next day.
Early in the morning, while Zhang Wu was still practicing his spear in the spacious courtyard, someone from the palace came to invite Zhang Wu to attend the court meeting.
This was the first court meeting since the capital was moved, and Zhang Wu was not impatient. After all, when he arrived in Xuchang, the emperor had no control over the court. Since the court was about to become Cao Cao's official hall, Zhang Wu was naturally happy to attend the court meeting.
He still had to build momentum for his boss. After all, strictly speaking, he was one of the most senior people in Cao's camp.
With the help of Cai Yan, Zhang Wu wore the official uniform and ribbon for the first time. Otherwise, if he wore the cumbersome official robes of Han officials, he could only wrap them around his body and use them as rags.
When passing by the palace gate, a palace man handed Zhang Wu a sword.
The sword is three feet long and one finger wide. The sword is slender and has the word "青魭" in small characters on the handle.
Cao Cao has two famous swords, one is Yitian, the sword never leaves his body and is worn by Cao Cao himself, and the other is Qingzhi. In the subsequent battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun speared Xia Houen and captured the Qingzhi sword.
However, since this sword fell into Zhang Wu's hands, it would not be captured by a Shu general.
Cao Cao ordered someone to send him a sword at this time for two reasons. One is because Zhang Wu never wore a sword before, but the sword was a symbol of status during the Han Dynasty. In the past, Zhang Wu was a reckless man and could not care less, but now what? It is said that he is also a prince of the Han Dynasty, so it is inappropriate not to carry a sword.
Secondly, the purpose of sending the sword before going to court is obvious, that is, Boss Cao hopes that Zhang Wu will go to the palace with his sword to suppress Liu Xie in terms of momentum and demonstrate his authority as prime minister.
It's not that Cao Cao can sit back and relax after the emperor receives Xuchang. The world is in chaos, but there are still a large number of people loyal to the Han Dynasty. Even Cao Cao is a little confused about which of his subordinates are completely loyal to him and which are loyal to the Han Dynasty. Towards the emperor.
At this time, Cao Cao needs someone who has weight and is completely loyal to him to hold the line, or even open this layer of window paper. Regardless of status, Zhang Wu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Zhang Wu didn't have a big plan, but Xiao Zhi didn't lack. He took the green sword and hung it directly on his waist. He walked to the front of the palace without taking off his boots or untying his sword. He kicked over the palace people who were blocking him and walked into the hall with great pride. When he reached the top position on the left side, he pulled away the Taiwei Huang Wan who was standing still and stood over on his own.
The Han Dynasty respects the right, and the person standing on the left usually has a military rank. As a Taiwei, Huang Wan should be the highest rank in the military rank.
The old lieutenant almost lost his temper. He blew his beard and glared at Zhang Wu, then scolded: "Zhang Wu, why did you go to the palace with swords and shoes? Do you want to rebel?"
At this moment, there were many people in the hall, but few of them really dared to come out and accuse Zhang Wu.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that after the capital is established in Xuchang, the prime minister will probably be greater than the emperor, and naturally he, along with the hussar generals who are more powerful than the three princes, can ride on the head of the Taiwei.
How powerful can a captain without soldiers be? Zhang Wu held 30,000 flying bears in his hands, which were the most elite cavalry left by Dong Zhuo.
"Zhang Wu! I asked you, why didn't you say anything?"
Zhang Wuchang sighed. It's not that he doesn't want to respect the old and love the young, but Huang Wan is obviously not in the right place at his age and can't see the situation clearly. It's only the first day, and it's really okay to get into such a tense situation?
There will be many places where Liu Xie will be bullied in the future.
Qingzhi turned around, took the scabbard, and sank directly into the white marble floor. Zhang Wu stood with his sword in both hands, ignoring Huang Wan, but looking at the emperor in the high position.
"What did the Emperor say?"
Liu Xie suddenly panicked, and his nervous hands had no where to place them.
The emperor was humiliated, and Xun Yu who was standing aside couldn't bear it. He wanted to speak out to save the situation, but Xun You behind him grabbed him and shook his head.
"Why did Gongda stop me?"
Xun You didn't answer, but pointed to the top position on the right side.
That position belonged to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not show up at this moment.
The prime minister failed to come to the first court meeting after the capital was moved. Instead, Zhang Wu jumped out first and gave the emperor a blow, which was unusual in itself.
"Sir, my general asked you something, why don't you answer it?"
Liu Xie said nothing, but one of His Highnesses couldn't help it: "Zhang Wu, you are so presumptuous!"
"Oh?" Zhang Wu looked at the man: "Who are you?"
"General Wei Dong Cheng!"
Yes, he is another fool with no investment vision. Another self-righteous and loyal man.
Zhang Wu never thinks that big men are bad. Strong men in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are the backbone of all Chinese people. They are indeed worthy of many people dying for them. But is the Eastern Han Dynasty considered Han?
Liu Xiu's idea of the world being ruled by aristocratic families and emperors was the root cause of the Wu Hu's chaos in China. However, the real Han Dynasty ended after Wang Mang usurped power, and what was left was just a decaying broken ship.
However, some people are attracted to this broken ship. Foolish and loyal people are the cutest and most hateful at the same time.
It's not that Zhang Wu looked down on Liu Xie, even if there was no Cao Cao, even if he was still sitting in Chang'an at this moment, if he took another 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Xie had great ambitions, would he be able to bring peace and prosperity to the world?
Is he courageous enough to overturn the oath made by his ancestors and eradicate the troubles in the family?
This is the limitation of history. His surname is Liu, so he is destined to abide by Liu Xiu's routine.
After all, the historian has extolled his ancestor so much that if he questions it at all, he will immediately be labeled as a fool, and then he will be criticized by a bunch of bitter scholars, and everyone will betray his relatives and alienate him.
Since you can no longer help him, why bother clinging to a so-called loyalty.
Or do these so-called loyal people just want to grab the dragon's tail and become a new family and continue to dominate?
Do you really have any sense of public morality? Do you have to force all the civilians in the world to death to understand?
Cao Cao was completely different. He used poor families wantonly, and an order seeking talents was like a charge to declare war on aristocratic families. Zhang Wu believed that with his help, Cao Cao's ambitions would only go more smoothly than in history, and the world would never be restored. Sima family!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wu shook his head secretly and scolded: "A little general of the Wei Dynasty actually talks to this general like this. Come here, beat this man out with a stick." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers guarding the hall started. He picked up the stick and beat Dong Cheng with the stick.
When the emperor was humiliated, these guards turned a blind eye, but Zhang Wu's words were more effective than the imperial edict. Liu Xie, who was on the throne, only felt cold.
After doing all this, Zhang Wu turned around and looked directly at Huang Wan: "The court meeting is about to begin. Please stand in your place, Taiwei."
Huang Wan pointed at Zhang Wu and was speechless for a long time: "You! You you!!!"
The green sword was slowly unsheathed inch by inch. Zhang Wu held the hilt of the sword and smiled harmlessly: "If the Taiwei really wants to disrupt the court meeting, I will treat you as a traitor and traitor."
