Cao Cao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is no longer what the minister wants, but what the emperor wants! I wonder if Your Majesty was forced to suffer from the troubles of Li and Guo in Guanzhong, did the cavalry offer half a hu of rice?"

Liu Xie's hand shook, and he tightly clamped his hand into a fist, and a few blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.

Compared to the Dong Zhuo period, Liu Xie during the Li Guo period was more miserable.

On the one hand, when Dong Zhuo was young, Liu Xie was still young, and there were many things that didn’t understand. During the Li Guo period, Liu Xie was older. On the other hand, when he was in Luoyang, he was not too declining at that time, at least he had no problem with eating and drinking. After arriving in Chang'an, after chaos and war, there was a shortage of supplies, which happened to happen to be a big deal for Liu Xie to eat to death. It was a very edible period, but he just didn’t even have a stutter!

Teenagers who lived in peaceful times in later generations may rarely have any special obsession with eating, and eating meat is even more common, and sometimes they are picky. If the taste is slightly worse, they will be thrown away directly. However, for Liu Xie, hunger and death are the deepest scars left by Liu Xie during that time in Guanzhong.

Liu Xie took a breath and said slowly, "Prime Minister, haven't you offered me the same?"

Cao Cao looked up and met Liu Xie's gaze. "Your Majesty knows what the minister ate at that time?"

Liu Xie did not ask what it was, because Liu Xie generally guessed what it was.

Cao Cao had a hard time at the beginning, especially after being caught in Yanzhou, his butt was bleeding from his chrysanthemums. It was really panic that day...

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "At least I know the taste of hunger better than those beautiful articles."

The two of them fell silent, as if they were stalemate or pulling something.

Liu Xie looked up slightly, and through the door of the hall, he saw that it was still gloomy, as if he had blocked the door of the hall tightly.

"Prime Minister, if you have any words, please speak directly."

Liu Xie sighed.

Cao Cao bowed and said, "In the past, Yuan Benchu ​​raised an army to attack his ministers, and Chen Kongzhang wrote an edict for him, saying that he was just a "broken eunuch"... Now, the cavalry army has left Wu Pass and is fighting the name of "Fengtian Jingnan"..."

When Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly felt a little chilled. He heard too much about the so-called "Fengtian Jingnan". When Yuan Shao beat Gongsun Zan, he used the same banner. Even Li Guo was acting in a reckless manner in Guanzhong, he also held the so-called "Fengtian Jingnan".

He suddenly remembered the white bone Jingguan he had seen when he was held hostage by Li Jue. There was even a three or four-year-old child in the head on Jingguan.

"The cavalry... maybe not..." Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "I have heard that the people of Guanzhong live and work in peace and prosperity in commerce..."

『Haha.』 Cao Cao smiled slightly, 『Your Majesty, this Han Dynasty has been in the past three or four hundred years. If it is about living and working in peace and business, I don’t know if it is more Guanzhong or more Henan and Hebei? What’s more... When Dong thief entered Beijing, he also said that Dong thief was loyal and righteous, and had a good military management... Later, Dong thief was ordered to depose the emperor and established the emperor. The ministers in the hall called him a "noble eunuch" and had some courage?!"

『…』 Liu Xie held the armrest on the dragon chaise tightly and gritted his teeth.

Who can guarantee that Fei Qian is not the next Dong Zhuo, and who can be sure that Liu Xie is not the next Liu Bian?

And what would those Shandong gentry and the Central Plains surname say or do when Liu Xie was driven off the throne?

Obviously impossible.

Otherwise, Liu Xie would not have been on the throne back then!

When Cao Cao saw Liu Xie's expression, he added another weight, "I have heard that those who poisoned the young emperors in the past had changed their names and surnames, and were appointed as the chief minister of the cavalry, and they were trusted..."

Liu Xie leaned forward and stared at Cao Cao and asked, "This is true?"

Cao Cao nodded slowly, "There is no false at all."

Liu Xie's face suddenly became gloomy.

In fact, Liu Xie knew a little bit about this.

However, Li Ru had already left Chang'an at that time, and as a pioneer in the development of the Western Regions, to some extent, it was considered "making up for the mistakes", so no one specifically discussed this matter. Is it not good to hold the braid in his hand as a cavalry? If it is necessary, then it can be used? Just like now, Cao Cao shook the braid and immediately caught Liu Xie's weakness.

So even if other ministers knew about it, they would not tell Liu Xieming before. Liu Xie was sealed in the palace, so many things could only be understood in half, and they could not understand them specifically.

This is true in most things in China. If you don’t say it out loud, it doesn’t matter if you are light and fluent, but once you put on the scale, it will weigh more than a thousand pounds.

As Cao Cao increased his strength little by little, the balance in Liu Xie's heart tilted again.

Cao Cao took Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao as an example, and was actually warning Liu Xie, saying that even if Liu Xie did nothing, nothing was wrong. However, after Fei Qian defeated Cao Cao, he would still be like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, "establish a new clan"!

Liu Xie stared at Cao Cao and remained silent for a long time.

Cao Cao faced Liu Xie's gaze calmly.

"Like today, who can tell the thieves of Yihuo?" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao said proudly, "I have been serving as prime minister for three hundred years and was a relative of the outside world. How many people have been there in the Western Jing Shangshu?

Liu Xie stroked the carvings of the dragon head and horns on the armrest of the dragon chair, looked up at the painting of the "Twenty-Eight Constellations" in the caisson on the top of the hall, and his eyes wandered between the "Purple Wall" and the "Tianshi Wall".

Cao Cao said again, "Your Majesty, Fei Ziyuan is respectful and has repeatedly resisted the king's orders. I heard that there is a nursery rhyme in Guanzhong saying, "The green dragon is not the dragon, and Guanzhong is not the Han Dynasty."... Such rebellious words are probably not suitable for the ministers...

"The Prime Minister was devoted to the Han Dynasty, and he worked hard and made great contributions. I was very relieved." Liu Xie withdrew his eyes to the caisson on the top of the palace and fell on Cao Cao again. "Huang Shi Gong said, "Soft can control hardness, weak can control strongness." Soft is virtue, hard is thief, weak is kind and helps him, and strong is resentful to him... I hope the Prime Minister is good at understanding this."

Cao Cao bowed, "I should remember what Your Majesty said."

It's been dark for a long time.

A gust of wind through the hall suddenly came, raising the crimson gauze in the hall, which was shocked by the copper bells at the eaves, like a collision between swords and halberds.

Liu Xie sat high on the elixir steps. Although the pattern of the "Shanlonghua Insect" behind the imperial seat was large and the patterns were complex, they were somewhat dull.

Cao Cao, who was bowing down under the steps, was because the light in the hall was dim and only the light from the hall gate was cast in, so he magnified and projected Cao Cao's shadow onto the wall, like a shadow covering him.

『Love…』 Liu Xie asked in a low voice in the shadow, 『Where should I come out now?』

Cao Cao bowed again, "Now that spring plowing is thirsty, I ask Your Majesty to climb to the altar to ask for rain!"

"Please rain?" Liu Xie repeated.

Liu Xie was a little confused, that's all?

If you can't ask for rain...

Liu Xie looked up outside the hall and saw dark clouds stacked up, and he knew it in his heart.

If there are no clouds and clear sky, there is a risk of not raining, but in such weather, how can there be no rain?

But, is this useful?

Can you kill the Cavalry after the rain?
