Zhuge Liang looked very tired. He held his forehead and recalled how he was not calm just now. He felt like he was surviving a disaster.
In fact, Zhuge Liang has been in this situation more than once when facing Yi Xiaotian.
Over the years, even Pang Degong has never put such great pressure on Zhuge Liang, but now Yi Xiaotian is like a ghost floating in the sky all the time. As long as Zhuge Liang feels that he has been hindered, he will doubt the obstacle.
Is there the shadow of Yi Xiaotian behind him?
To put it bluntly, Zhuge Liang was so scared of Yi Xiaotian that he was a bit stunned.
"I don't blame you. No one who confronts such a monster many times will be able to escape unscathed. Kong Ming, you have done a good enough job."
From here we can see the difference between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Both are unparalleled geniuses. Zhuge Liang is rarely able to say such words of comfort with human warmth. He is usually a rational thinking machine, less so than Zhou Yu.
A little selfish, a little more dedicated, but in the final analysis, he is more rational than emotional. After all, in his opinion, to become a monarch's right-hand man, too much emotion will often affect his objective judgment of a thing.
But when Pang Tong spoke, he often stood from the other person's perspective and considered others.
In this regard, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng have many similarities.
Zhuge Liang didn't want to discuss his own issues too much. He shook his head, as if to throw away the distracting thoughts. After taking a deep breath, he regained his energy and continued the topic just now:
"That is to say...the emperor wanted to get rid of Ma Teng, and at the same time, he used the same method that led Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, and he did not hesitate to risk falling into the north again...not...to plunge the whole world into the hell on earth that he had more than ten years ago.
Planned a siege of Chang'an..."
"But...the crisis in the north was finally resolved by Yi Xiaotian through various means, that is to say...at this time..."
Zhuge Liang suddenly understood the information Guan Yu mentioned before - the emperor currently sitting in the palace was probably a fake emperor.
The real emperor had already been hidden by Yi Xiaotian or Cao Cao after the siege of Chang'an...
"Two years ago, the emperor was replaced by someone else... right?"
In the end, Zhuge Liang did not say the speculation that might cause turmoil in the army, but in fact many people already understood what Zhuge Liang meant.
"To say that they really put the emperor under house arrest for no reason, I believe there will definitely not be only a few voices of opposition at that time... If... if this news is confirmed, I can only say... the emperor did a very confused thing.
…Not only will it break the hearts of the ministers who have been staying by his side, but it will also give Cao Cao an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage..."
Fa Zheng was beginning to have a headache at this moment.
It's not that he has much affection for the emperor Liu Xie. As a young generation counselor, he believes that this era needs a new king to end the chaos, but... right now, Liu Xie, the one they rely on most for all their actions, now
It already exists in name only. If this news leaks out, it is not impossible that the whole world will return to the chaos of the past——
Today, there are only four families in the world who can be called the final winners. Needless to say, Cao Cao from the north, Sun Quan from Jiangdong, Liu Bei from Jingnan, and Liu Zhang from Yizhou. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, dozens of princes competed for hegemony.
A relatively clear situation has only existed for decades.
But if we really return to the chaos of the past, and the princes with different intentions rise again, it will not be a good thing for any of the four families.
No one has the energy to go through another meat grinder-like melee. Even this world may not be able to withstand another chaotic separatist regime.
"Yun Chang... have you heard how Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao turned the emperor over?"
"Is the emperor still alive? What is the situation of Empress Fu and the father-in-law? We still need more information... If we just know that the emperor planned a siege of Chang'an two years ago... it will be of no benefit to us.
No."
Zhuge Liang was extremely confused... He had already felt the embarrassment of their current situation after this intelligence blessing - it turned out that the emperor was standing behind them. Although the palace was controlled by Cao Cao, neither Xu Du nor Luoyang were still in trouble.
There are a large number of people with lofty ideals who have been risking their lives to keep Liu Xie safe.
Once Cao Cao acted rashly and did something bad to Liu Xie, the scholars in the world who were sympathetic to the Han Dynasty, including those in Jingnan and Jiangdong, would take this as an opportunity to stir up people's hearts and mobilize the masses to impeach Cao Cao's rule.
and crusade.
Back then, Yuan Shao summoned eighteen princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo. In the same way, Liu Bei and Sun Quan could also summon all the forces in the world except Cao Cao's forces to crusade against Cao Cao.
But now everything has changed.
Without evidence, no one can accuse Cao Cao of replacing the emperor. On the contrary, if someone dares to criticize Cao Cao, Cao Cao can control his own puppets, issue political orders in the tone of the emperor, and in turn attack the denouncer.
Even if someone does find evidence that can completely kill Cao Cao's act of replacing the Emperor, Cao Cao still has a trump card in his hand - he can make it known to the world that the Emperor planned the siege of Chang'an.
There is no need to think about it. Cao Cao must have collected all the evidence that Liu Xie was the main messenger in the siege of Chang'an. In this way, it would only take a short time for Liu Xie's credibility to collapse instantly, and people would doubt the emperor and the Han Dynasty.
, will question the correctness of what they have done in the past.
After all... After all, Liu Xie's behavior did not take the lives of the people into consideration at all. His selfish behavior was just to maintain his throne, and he did not learn any lessons from the disaster of Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Let me ask.
Who would believe such an emperor?
Of course, such a result is bound to be a lose-lose situation for both parties.
A large number of Cao Cao's subordinates believed that Cao Cao was the one who supported the Han Dynasty in defeating the generals. Once Cao Cao exposed his true colors, most of the princes and officials who were originally committed to Cao Cao would betray him.
It is inevitable that the North will fall into chaos.
But similarly, those who were hit were Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others who kept saying they were doing it for the Han Dynasty and wanted to save Liu Xie.
In comparison, the blow they suffered would be even more terrifying, because the people who followed Liu Bei really believed that the Han Dynasty could be revived and the emperor could regain his former glory and status.
Once this reason collapses, it's hard to imagine how frustrated this group of people will be.
How many people give up their lives just like this, I'm afraid it's just one of the common sights.
