With his sophisticated eyes, how could he fail to see that the letter Imperial Edict was meant to kill them? It was basically to use their lives to completely ruin Pretender Emperor's reputation, force Cao Cao to surrender, or become an enemy completely!
Overt Strategy is an unsolvable move!
"No wonder Your Majesty was able to succeed in Ye City Mutiny and drive out Yuan Shao. Such methods, such character, and such ruthlessness... are really terrifying."
Yang Biao feels very complicated.
Although he felt a little chilled by what Liu Xie did, he was more willing and admired from the bottom of his heart.
This shows that Liu Xie has grown into a qualified emperor. He will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, be decisive when necessary, and be ruthless. This is the character that a superior should have.
Back then, Emperor Gaozu, in order to escape, even his own daughter was able to push Carriage down.
To be able to solidify Han Dynasty's reputation as orthodox, everything can be sacrificed!
With Son of Heaven like this, why not worry about Great Han?
"It's a shame that Cao Cao is such a coward. If you kill me directly, my reputation will be ruined. I, Yang Clan, will definitely be reused by Son of Heaven!"
Yang Biao is not afraid of death, he would rather die in exchange for the prosperity of the Yang Clan; he understands that Son of Heaven knows his thoughts, so he and he have reached the same tacit understanding.
If Cao Cao chooses to kill him, then when Son of Heaven resurrects Great Han, he Yang Clan will be among the top three in the merit list, and will at least guarantee prosperity for the next one or two hundred years!
But Cao Cao's cowardice ruined everything.
After sighing slightly, Yang Biao simply tidied up, followed Xu You to leave Yang Residence, went to Dungeon where Fu Wan was imprisoned, and rescued Fu Wan.
Finally, go to the Imperial Palace.
Looking for Empress Fu.
Chapter 217 Emperor Xian of Han: Marquis of Wen, your emperor is here
Among Bedchamber, Empress Fu is still awake.
She knew about Military Coup's murder of Cao Cao tonight. Although Emperor Xian of Han asked her to wait for the news in the palace with peace of mind, how could she really not be worried at all?
From the beginning of the Imperial Palace, there were shouts of killing, fighting and screams everywhere, and then when Tiger Guard faded away, everything returned to silence, and her hanging heart never let go.
She didn't know what the current situation of Emperor Xian of Han was, and whether Military Coup was a success or a failure.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside Bedchamber.
Empress Fu immediately became vigilant, raised the dagger placed on his knees for self-defense, and scolded in a sweet voice, "Who!"
After the words fell, a figure walked into Bedchamber.
It is Fu Wan!
Seeing his father, Empress Fu looked in disbelief and said in surprise, "Father? Why are you here?"
Fu Wan is imprisoned in Dungeon. She just visited today. Why did she suddenly appear in the Imperial Palace?
"Shou'er, Pretender Emperor Military Coup's murder of Cao Cao was failed, and now he has been kidnapped by Dong Cheng and escaped from Xu County!"
"While the situation is chaotic, quickly leave Imperial Palace with my father, and we will go to Ye City to serve Son of Heaven!"
Fu Wan said without any nonsense, with a face full of joy.
He originally thought that he was destined to die in Xu County for the rest of his life, but he never thought that he would have a chance to survive in Ye City.
Although he is not afraid of death, it would be best if he could live.
The most important thing is to bring my daughter there!
"What?"
Hearing Fu Wan say that Emperor Xian of Han Military Coup failed, Empress Fu's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't help but take a step back, and Dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
After reacting, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going Ye City! If my father wants to go, I can go by myself. I want to stay in the palace and wait for Your Majesty to come back!"
Even though she is no longer Empress, she still does not intend to succumb to Pretender Emperor. She must keep her innocence no matter what!
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Fu Wan suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty is right next to Ye City, and the one Dong Cheng is carrying is Pretender Emperor. Why can't you tell the real thing from the fake one?"
"Could it be that I've been with this Pretender Emperor for a long time and developed feelings for him? It's just a show, Shou'er, don't get too involved in the drama!"
Empress Fu felt extremely ashamed and angry. He grabbed Dagger from the ground, put it against his tender neck and said, "Father, if you continue to humiliate and force your daughter like this, my daughter will die in front of you!"
"You, you, you! You are crazy!"
Fu Wan was so frightened that he turned pale, but he did not dare to continue to stimulate Empress Fu. He could only say in a soft tone, "Shou'er, my father asked you to go Ye City not to harm you."
"You have never met Son of Heaven of Ye City, how do you know he is not real? Can you guarantee that you have not been deceived? Is what you think is what you think?"
Fu Wan used another way to persuade Empress Fu.
When things got to this point, he finally figured out that his silly daughter probably didn't know that Son of Heaven was also a fake and was kept in the dark.
This Pretender Emperor's acting skills are really good.
Empress Fu looked firm and said decisively, "Impossible! I can tell the difference clearly!"
"No! You can't tell the difference!"
Fu Wan said with a serious face, "Shou'er, you are just deceived. When you meet the real Son of Heaven, you will know what is true and what is false."
"You don't have to worry about your experience with Xu County. No matter what happened to you or not with this Pretender Emperor, you just need to remember that you were abolished because of your chastity."
"In this way, no one in the world can criticize you, and you can still be Empress. The future of our Fu Family depends entirely on you!"
Fu Wan's tone is full of heavy meaning.
He knew clearly in his heart that if Empress Fu was unwilling to go to Ye City, then the only way was to "be forced by Pretender Emperor and commit suicide in anger to protect his chastity".
This is the result Son of Heaven wants to see.
But after all, she was his daughter, and Fu Wan couldn't bear to see her die; and if she could continue to be Empress, it would be good for the Fu Family, so he would take the trouble to persuade her.
Faced with Fu Wan's repeated admonitions, Empress Fu couldn't help but start to waver in his heart no matter how firm he was.
On the one hand is the future of the Fu Family, on the other hand is the authenticity of Son of Heaven... She doesn't understand why so many people believe that Son of Heaven of Ye City is real. Is she really deceived?
"Shou'er!"
Seeing Empress Fu's expression, Fu Wan felt happy and continued to persuade, "Then Pretender Emperor has escaped Xu County and it is impossible to come back."
"If you continue to stay at Xu County, you will definitely be poisoned by that lusty and hungry ghost Cao Cao. He won't even spare Zhang Xiu's aunt, let alone you?"
Empress Fu's face suddenly showed panic.
Cao Cao likes wives, she has heard about this for a long time. Now she is just a Deposition of the Empress, and with Cao Cao's character, she will definitely not let her go!
Thinking of this, Empress Fu became even more frightened. He dropped the Dagger in his hand and said in a panic, "I, I will go to Ye City with my father!"
Going to Ye City is better than staying.
She can also take the opportunity to meet Son of Heaven of Ye City and see which one is real compared with Son of Heaven of Xu County.
If it was false, she would rather die than obey!
If it were true, she would not be able to live in this world.
"Then let's go quickly!"
Fu Wan was very happy when he heard this. Without saying a word, he took Empress Fu and walked out of the palace to meet Yang Biao.
Minister of Works' Residence.
Xiahou Dun came to report to Cao Cao, "Lord, according to your instructions, I have let Dong Cheng and Son of Heaven leave Xu County. They left West Gate and fled all the way south."
"Is there really no need to send someone to chase him?"
He still doesn't understand why he let Dong Cheng and Son of Heaven go, when they could have stayed.
"No need! No need at all!"
Cao Cao said categorically that although he had not slept all night, he seemed to be in particularly good spirits, and his face was filled with smiles after hearing the news.
He wished Son of Heaven could run away as far away as possible!
Never come back again!
Xiahou Dun heard this and had no choice but to retreat.
Xu You then walked into Study.
Seeing him, Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask, "Ziyuan, how are things going? Is everything going well?"
He gave Xu You the task of sending away Fu Wan and others. These three burdensome people must be sent away tonight. It can be said that they escaped in the chaos and had nothing to do with him.
"Are you still worried about me doing things?"
Xu You pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Aman, I'm not talking about you, but you are too overqualified to ask me to do this little thing."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Ziyuan, this is no small matter. I only believe in you now! If the three of them don't leave, I will feel uneasy."
"Tomorrow morning I will announce to the public that Dong Cheng Holding the Son of Heaven Hostage has escaped from Xu County and put all the blame on Dong Cheng."
"From now on True and False Son of Heaven has nothing to do with me!"
False Son of Heaven was cleansed from his traitors and had a way out, not to mention how happy Cao Cao was now. He just wanted to thank Dong Cheng and Pretender Emperor.
Thanks to them for launching Military Coup.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have thought of this solution!
Although Xu You was unwilling to accept his failure to kill Pretender Emperor or persuade Cao Cao to surrender, he did not show it on his face. He moved his eyes and asked instead, "Aman, where do you think Dong Cheng will take Pretender Emperor to escape?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and then said, "Jing Province is the closest to Yu Province, and Liu Biao is Han House clansman, and he is also loyal to the Han Dynasty."
"As expected, they should vote for Liu Biao... It seems that it will be Liu Biao's turn to have a headache in the future. I want to see how he will deal with this hot potato."
Cao Cao sounded rather gloating.
As the saying goes, things turn around, he has been troubled by Pretender Emperor for so long, it's time for others to suffer.
After Dong Cheng and Emperor Xian of Han escaped from Xu County, they escaped for hundreds of miles in one breath before they dared to stop and rest for a while.
