Chapter 93 The Crisis of Trust in the Son of Heaven
Chapter 93: The Emperor’s Crisis of Confidence
"It's not easy for the little emperor!"
Yi Xiaotian finally spoke, and he said with emotion. "Since he came to the throne, our young emperor has been wandering around. He has never truly lived like an emperor, and the utensils around him are all stuff."
It's a piece of hammer and a stick, a broken pot, but it doesn't have any trace of the appearance and dignity of an emperor."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused.
"So, what our little emperor wants most is to live like an emperor!"
Hmm...what an emperor should look like!
Cao Cao carefully considered Yi Xiaotian's words.
Not to mention, if you put yourself in the emperor's shoes, think and analyze it, this is really the truth.
Why did the emperor insist on returning to his hometown, Luoyang?
Maybe it was because of nostalgia, but on the other hand, it must be that he wanted to regain the appearance that a great Han emperor should have.
After thinking through this section, Cao Cao realized what he had ignored before!
"Brother Yi, do you mean that Cao Cao should help the emperor and live like an emperor?"
"That's right!"
Facing Cao Cao's question, Yi Xiaotian replied without hesitation.
"Only when the emperor behaves like an emperor, will the court behave like a court, and Cao Cao, who welcomes the emperor to command the world, will be more confident! Only then will the emperor trust him!"
"Taking a step back, only when the young emperor truly feels that he is a real emperor and not a puppet manipulated by others, will he let go of all his wariness and trust Cao Cao and the people around Cao Cao, including those who hide their secrets.
Brother you!"
seem…
That makes sense!
Who is willing to be a puppet again and again? Not to mention the current emperor of Han Dynasty...
Even if the real power is declining, after all, the false name is still there.
After thinking through this section, Cao Cao nodded and was about to speak.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because what he immediately thought of was a new question - how to make the emperor feel that he is a real emperor?
This is a dilemma!
If you use too much force and return the power of the court to him, Cao Cao's authority will be weakened;
If the force is too light, it seems that it cannot change the status quo and cannot influence the emperor's attitude...
Huo Yingtianzi, behind this wise decision, there are so many difficulties hidden. If it is not handled well, it may even fall into catastrophe...
When Cao Cao thought of this, cold sweat ran down his back. He was actually a little terrified and panicked.
Yi Xiaotian noticed Cao Cao's expression.
He immediately asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your expression? Why do you feel so cold all over your body? How about we stop drinking and drink two bowls of cold-dispelling jiaoer soup?"
"No, no..." Cao Cao waved his hands repeatedly. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... I just thought about serving the emperor. Brother Yi, you just said you wanted to make the emperor feel that he is a real emperor! But, this... said
It sounds easy, but it’s much harder to do!”
At this point, Cao Cao frowned tightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he was asking for help!
"Is it difficult?" Yi Xiaotian's expression was a little surprised, and he spread his hands. "Isn't it difficult? Is there anything simpler than this?"
"So? How to do it?" Cao Cao followed Yi Xiaotian's words and asked.
"This is not easy!" Yi Xiaotian shook his head and then patted Cao Cao on the shoulder. "Brother Hide, just tell Cao Cao and let Cao Cao raise the emperor Liu Xie as his own son. Our emperor has nothing to do since he was a child.
There is no fatherly love, and there is no motherly love. He lacks love all over his body!"
Lack of love?
Cao Cao scratched his head, why is it that Brother Yi's words today are so concise and clear, but he always feels a little bit unfathomable?
The emperor lacks love? Raise the little emperor as his own son? This...
Without waiting for Cao Cao to think carefully, Yi Xiaotian's words came out.
"Brother Hi, please let me tell you slowly..."
"The first step to make the emperor let down his guard is to make him feel that he is not a puppet, but a real emperor. And the basis of all this is actually the handling of some trivial matters. To be more detailed, it is to rely on some royal items
…”
Hmm? A royal item?
Cao Cao was startled...
He never considered the royal objects from the beginning to the end, or in other words, he never considered them from the standpoint of the emperor.
Can this mere royal item change the emperor's mentality?
"Brother Yi..."
"Brother Hi, please listen to what I have to say first!"
Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand to stop Cao Cao's words, and his tone became higher.
"Brother Hide, think about it, if you open your eyes and see the items used by the emperor in the former palace, whether it is a dragon bed, a dragon chair, a dragon case, or an inkstone used by the emperor, a top hat, even a small one
With an imperial pillow and an imperial mirror laid out in front of you, wouldn’t you have the feeling that you are a true emperor?”
ah…
All of a sudden, Cao Cao woke up from a dream.
Yes, that's right. Although it is impossible for Cao Cao to return the military power and the power of government to the emperor, but through these royal objects, the young emperor can have the real senses and mentality of the emperor of Han Dynasty. Isn't this easy to do?
Besides, the little emperor loves his family.
Missing the old capital is just missing the people after seeing things, missing every plant and tree in the Luoyang Palace, and missing every tiny object in it.
If all these royal objects from the old capital were gathered together, the little emperor would definitely be filled with joy, crying and feeling deeply at the same time, and even the tense emotions would collapse in an instant.
They would even regard Cao Cao as a relative. In this case, the situation would be much more optimistic.
This trick of "borrowing fairy peaches to offer to Your Majesty" is so wonderful that it cannot be described in words.
etc…
Cao Cao suddenly thought of another question.
The imperial objects can indeed stabilize the emperor's mood and gain the trust of the young emperor, but where did these imperial objects come from? The Luoyang Palace had been burned down long ago, and you can't look for the old objects in the palace from the ruins.
, even if you find it, a tattered thing used by the emperor? How can you donate it to the emperor?
When he thought of this, Cao Cao frowned, and the joy that he had finally felt suddenly disappeared.
"Brother Yi, what you said makes sense and is correct. But in these troubled times, when the old capital of Luoyang is in ruins and desolate, how can we find these royal objects? I'm afraid I have to spend a lot of money to go to the black market.
You can’t buy it online, right?”
Cao Cao expressed his concerns together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this question came out, Yi Xiaotian laughed heartily "hahahaha". This laughter was very magical, as if he was laughing at Cao Cao for being stupid and naive!
"Brother Hide, brother Hide, why don't your heads spin in circles!"
Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand and knocked on Cao Cao's forehead, as if he was telling a little fool!
His words continued to spread.
"You have followed Cao Cao for so long? Why didn't you think of it? What was the identity of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song? What was the identity of Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng?"
"One of these two is the Great Sinong personally appointed by the late emperor, who is in charge of the financial power of the entire Han Dynasty; the other is Fei Tinghou, who is highly valued by the late emperor of the late emperor. He has made great achievements in Changqiu and is respected by thousands of people!"
"The late emperor and the late emperor's late emperor? Didn't they give some imperial objects to Cao Cao's grandfather and father? In other words, the imperial objects that Brother Hao couldn't find despite all his efforts were exactly in Cao Cao's hometown.
, it’s being enshrined! It’s like trying to catch a turtle in a jar—it’s easy to catch!”
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused.
"These royal objects were given to the Cao family by the emperor back then, and now Cao Cao has given them back to the emperor. The cycle of cause and effect, isn't this the destiny of God?"
call out…
Cao Cao took a breath of cold air.
I went there and found no place after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get there. The key to having the courage to love, serve the emperor, and gain the emperor's trust is enshrined in the old house of the Cao family?
Be good... Damn, the situation turned around a bit unprepared!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao really recalled that it seemed that his father Cao Song had really told him that our Cao family was not only rich, but also had gifts from generations of emperors.
At that time, the young Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, and he never thought that today he would take it seriously!
Huo...this...
"Crack!" All of a sudden.
Cao Cao burst into laughter, his expression became both excited and ecstatic...
The biggest problem that troubled him was solved, and the emperor's trust problem was solved all at once!
