Chapter 649 The minister can only do so much

Cao Cao didn't know what happened to Liu Xie summoning him to the palace, but Liu Xie is now the emperor, and no matter how autocratic Cao Cao was, he would not dare not accept Liu Xie's call in front of everyone.

"Please reply to Your Majesty, I will arrive soon!" Cao Cao said.

Before the little eunuch came, he guessed that Cao Cao would refuse, but who would have thought that Cao Cao would agree so happily? This made the little eunuch overjoyed and said gratefully: "The villain will go back and report to His Majesty!"

The little eunuch left with satisfaction.

"It's all gone! I'm going to go to the palace." Cao Cao also had an excuse to drive all his subordinates back. After all, he wanted to attack and meet Liu Xie, so he couldn't let these people stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that even though he ordered Guo Jia and the others to go back, Guo Jia and others insisted on waiting for Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"If you want to stay here, stay! Gu will not change his mind!" Cao Cao knew that these people would not give up, and he did not be vague and went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and left Guo Jia and the others aside.

Before entering the palace, Cao Cao was thinking about what would happen to Liu Xie today. He thought it should be related to Xiaopei's affairs.

Not long after, Cao Cao came to Liu Xie's bedroom.

The guards of the Shouchun Palace were completely controlled by Wang Yue and his disciples. The palace was Liu Xie's world. As long as Liu Xie gave his order, Cao Cao would not be able to leave the palace alive.

Cao Cao had the right to praise him and worship him, and his swords and shoes were not called to the palace, and the guards of the palace did not stop him from advancing.

Liu Xie waited in the bedroom for a long time.

"My minister Cao Mengde greets Your Majesty!" Cao Cao saluted respectfully.

"The Prime Minister doesn't have to be too polite, I'll give you a seat." Liu Xie had no expression and pointed to a position in his lower head and let Cao Cao sit.

After Cao Cao sat down, he asked, "I wonder what instructions did Your Majesty have to call me?"

"Prime Minister, I heard that Xiao Pei has been trapped." Liu Xie asked.

"I have just been discussing with my subordinates." Cao Cao answered Liu Xie's question from the side.

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked all the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.

All the servants left, and Liu Xie said lightly: "Prime Minister, can I ask you something?"

Cao Cao did not expect Liu Xiehui to speak like this and said in surprise: "I dare not!"

"Prime Minister, I know your loyalty to the Han Dynasty. I have been protected by you since I left Luoyang. I want to ask you something today. I now have a son and a daughter. They are all ignorant children. If there is any reason, I hope the Prime Minister can protect them well and give them a stable life, and not be in the royal family anymore." Liu Xie said something that made Cao Cao worry.

There are many disciples of Wang Yue around Liu Xie, so he can naturally find out about Xiaopei's loss. Liu Xie can understand the chain reaction after Xiaopei's loss, and Yanzhou is no longer under Cao Cao's control. Once Yanzhou is captured by Liu Yu, he will have no way to go south. By then, Liu Xie will have no way out. He dare not expect Sun Ce and Liu Biao to accept him. Because these people's loyalty is not as high as Cao Cao.

Once Liu Yu's army came to Shouchun, Liu Xie had no other way. As the only two emperors of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Yu did not kill him, Liu Yu's men would also eliminate hidden dangers for their Majesty.

Liu Xie no longer cares about life and death, but his bloodline is innocent, so Liu Xie can only ask Cao Cao. Only Cao Cao can take care of Liu Xie's wife and children.

Cao Cao didn't dare to agree, shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty arrives at that time, I'm afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, and I really cannot take this burden."

"I know this is a forceful situation. The emperor's brother may not be unfavorable to them. But his subordinates will not worry. I don't want my children to become others' meat." Liu Xie begged.

"Your Majesty, the situation has not reached that point yet, so it's too early to say this." Cao Cao told the truth.

"I live in the palace, but I also know the situation in the world. I, the emperor, have reached the last period of time." Liu Xie sighed.

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will say goodbye first!"

"The Prime Minister is busy with state affairs, please give yourself a favor." Liu Xie would not force Cao Cao to stay.

Cao Cao walked out of the bedroom and made a decision in his heart.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao's back from afar and sighed: "If I hadn't left Luoyang, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"But I also know that only you, Cao Mengde and the emperor, care about my life and death. I know this." Liu Xie turned around and walked towards other places.

Cao Cao returned to his prime minister's mansion, and his subordinates were still waiting for him in the conference hall.

Cao Cao returned to his seat without saying a word, sitting there, closing his eyes without saying a word.

Guo Jia and others looked at each other. This attitude was a bit abnormal. They didn't know why Cao Cao was like this.

Just as they were about to come forward to speak, Cao Cao spoke, "I agreed to your proposal just now."

Guo Jia and others were overjoyed, but they didn't expect that Cao Cao changed his mind after going to the palace.

Xun Yu felt nervous. It must be Liu Xie who said something to Cao Cao in the palace, otherwise Cao Cao would not have made such a happy decision.

"Lord is wise!" Everyone knelt down and bowed.

"What should I do, Feng Xiaozhongde and others will be responsible for everything in Yanzhou. I will only ask. But one thing is that if something goes wrong, I will never let you go!" Cao Cao shouted with a fierce look on his face.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu left sweat on their heads. As the main person designated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's domineering arrogance made them a little unable to withstand it.

"Okay! Let's all be separated!" Cao Cao waved to drive people away.

This time, without Cao Cao's instructions, Guo Jia and others immediately fled. They all knew that Cao Cao was in a very unhappy mood now and must not be missed by Cao Cao.

Only Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with a little pity, and it happened that Cao Cao looked at him.

Cao Cao felt Xun Yu's eyes and nodded to indicate that he was fine.

Xun Yu sighed, he knew that Cao Cao made this decision for Liu Xie.

After everyone left, Cao Cao held his forehead and pondered.

"Is it right or wrong to do this?" Cao Cao kept thinking in his heart.

"Your Majesty, although I am a powerful minister, I will always be a Han minister. Perhaps this time it was a decision I made because of you. I can only do so much." Cao Cao said silently to Liu Xie in his heart.

Liu Xie in the palace seemed to feel Cao Cao's intentions, and felt sad for no reason.
