Chapter 650 This is called the honor of ninety-five
Chapter 650: This is called the Nine-Five Lord
Three days passed quickly.
During these three days, Liu Xie was obviously more anxious than usual.
The ministers are not stupid, and Liu Xie is not stupid either... Everyone can see that this sacrifice to heaven is because Cao Cao wants to punish himself——
Liu Xie has been avoiding Cao Cao since that day... Even if someone asked to come to visit him, he would refuse them all.
I'm afraid that the other party is the "evidence" that Cao Cao calls.
Yes, Liu Xie was really afraid that Cao Cao had evidence. Because of this matter, Liu Xie could not think about food and drink and could not sleep at night.
This caused the extremely gloomy feeling before.
He was so anxious that he couldn't even think about how Cao Cao would throw the evidence in his face.
In fact, even if Cao Cao had evidence, he would have no way to torture Liu Xie.
Because no matter what, in name, Cao Cao will always be a minister of the Han Dynasty and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao would not do anything like using torture on the emperor, which would easily cause chaos among his ministers and the public's resentment. After all, if he did, it would leave traces, and there would be evidence for those ministers who were loyal to Liu Xie.
How could a cautious man like Cao Cao make such a mistake?
Therefore, Liu Xie obviously messed up his position and was even afraid that Cao Cao would take this opportunity to kill him, but he was not fully prepared to meet any other punishment that might come.
Yes... Cao Cao-Liu Xie's inertial thinking made everyone, including Liu Xie, think that the only person who would take action against him could be Cao Cao.
However, they did not notice that the name Tai Zhuling on the list before the ceremony had changed three days ago.
Or should I say, this is simply because Liu Xie was careless.
After all, the list of participants in the ceremony had been placed in front of his case anyway, but even though Fu Shou had persuaded him to take a good look at it, he had no intention of touching the list.
It was not until a few hours before the ceremony that Liu Xie learned about the changes in the ceremony through the maids who were dressing him up.
"Whhhhhhhhhh...what!!?"
Liu Xie's stunned look, coupled with his sudden roar, made the already timid palace maid cry in fear, thinking that she had done something wrong...
Liu Xie was jumping around on the spot, as if he was crazy. The palace maid fell to the ground and cried. It wasn't until Fu Shou came to her and asked her what happened. Fu Shou was so worried that he stopped her.
Liu Xie.
"His Majesty…"
"Queen! Queen! Cao Cao...Cao Cao didn't come! Cao Cao didn't come! It must be Taichang! It must be the abbot and the others..."
"Hahahahaha... God will not destroy me, God will not destroy me!"
"No, I...I need to freshen up!"
"You! Why are you crying! Come and change my clothes!"
Liu Xie laughed wildly and pointed at the palace maids who fell to the ground beside him. Several palace ladies who were hiding far away saw this and hurriedly followed him.
Only Fu Shou didn't relax at all even after hearing the news that Cao Cao would not come to the ceremony:
"Your Majesty...what is going on?"
"What's going on? Hahaha... Queen, you don't know yet... A few days ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent the documents for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. I was still anxious at first... As it turned out, Taichang and your father all started to worry.
The trustee told me..."
Liu Xie was so happy and excited now. He stepped in front of Fu Shou, shook Fu Shou's body constantly, and said while shaking:
"They must have put pressure on Cao Cao these past few days!"
"The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony honors the souls of the dead soldiers! He, Cao Cao, is clearly a sinner! He wanted to use the Heaven Sacrifice to pull me out of the palace, but he didn't want to give me the opportunity to punish him! As long as I... I'm there
At the grand ceremony, Cao Cao’s sins were detailed... He turned against the guests! Cao Cao... his reputation will definitely be damaged, and his reputation may plummet!"
"When the time comes...I...will have the opportunity to rectify the situation with the ministers! I will once again have the initiative to counterattack Cao Cao!"
"Cao Cao not coming... is already his best way to stop losses. If he doesn't want to be easily manipulated by me, he can only retreat due to illness... I think he must be very regretful now... regretting why he left such an opportunity to me...
"
"Hehehehe——"
Liu Xie laughed and sneered for a while, making Fu Shou extremely worried.
Fu Shou was definitely a very smart queen. Compared to Liu Xie, Fu Shou was far ahead of her husband in terms of calmness and thoroughness of thinking.
It was precisely because of this that she vaguely felt something was wrong...
"Your Majesty...are you...are you really sure that these are really the result of the hard work of my father and Lord Tai Chang? Prime Minister Cao...he doesn't seem like a person who would make such a mistake..."
Fu Shou said it very tactfully, but how could Liu Xie, who was so excited, care about this? On the contrary, Fu Shou was not happy for himself, and Liu Xie was very angry:
"Queen! Do you think that I, the father-in-law, and Taichang are no match for the traitor Cao Cao?"
"No...no...Your Majesty, you have misunderstood..."
Fu Shou was a little anxious, but Liu Xie was in no mood to think about it anymore.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, you must be more careful this time...I am worried..."
"Okay, please step aside...I have to change my clothes."
However, Liu Xie's words were full of impatience. He almost hit Fu Shou with a wave of his hand, causing Fu Shou to scream in surprise and retreat repeatedly.
However, even so, Liu Xie did not look at Fu Shou again... His eyes were full of desire for revenge and desire for power... How could there be any room for Fu Shou?
Fu Shou suddenly felt sad... because... Liu Xie was not like this before... If it were him before... he might have come over in panic now and apologized for his carelessness... But...
Liu Xie had changed so much that Fu Shou no longer recognized him.
She quietly stepped aside and looked at Liu Xie with sour eyes -
"May your Majesty be well..."
————
The ceremony was held as scheduled.
Today's Xudu City seems to have been favored by God. The sky is clear and cloudless. It is a good day for a few days.
Yuxiu Terrace is located in the southwest corner of Xudu. It is a landmark building built quickly after Cao Cao took Liu Xie to Xudu.
However, Liu Xie has never had any memories of Yuxiu Terrace that can be called memories... As long as he thinks back to the past where he was held hostage to worship the gods, treated as a mere ornament, and just went through the motions, Liu Xie will be itching with hatred.
.
But today is different——
After leaving the Qing Banquet Hall, Lu Bu was already waiting at the foot of the steps...all the ministers stood in front of the hall, respectfully welcoming Liu Xie's arrival.
The golden melon, the crown, the flags fluttering in the wind, the luxurious carriage frame and the musicians playing the music - everything showed the dignity of the person they were welcoming, Liu Xie.
It is no exaggeration to say that today, for the first time in his life, Liu Xie felt the dignity of the emperor, and truly realized that he should have been treated above all others.
Liu Xie was carried slowly by the palace maid through the procession of officials. In front of him were several regular attendants, that is, the eunuchs opened the way for him.
There was a warm smile on his face, which was in sharp contrast to his frail figure and appearance.
He was very excited, so he smiled and greeted the ministers. When passing Yang Biao and Fu Wan, Liu Xie praised their actions without leaving any trace:
"Taichang, the head of state... I have really worked hard on you today."
"Ah...ah...should...should..."
But they didn't notice that obviously, Yang Biao and Fu Wan were both a little confused about their thanks.
