Chapter 104: Emperor Xian is still
When Zhi Yuanduo pretended to offer beautiful women to Cao Cao, he actually played a conspiracy between Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
How could Cao Cao be so easily fooled by him? The Cao clan's intelligence network is no less than that of Peng Yiyuan in Luoyang. The relationship between Ma Yunlu and Zhou Yang is naturally not concealed by Cao Cao.
So he followed the flow and not only sold his favors to Zhou Yang, but also naturally dismantled the plan of governing Yuanduo. At the same time, he was able to maintain relationships with governing Yuanduo, Yang Feng and others, and continued to use their troops, plus the royal army led by Liu Bei to attack Lu Bu.
However, even if there was no Yuan Dynasty, Ma Teng was still a political scramble for Cao Cao. Like Liu Bei, he would sooner or later be eliminated.
However, Liu Bei is not yet full of strength. In Cao Cao's eyes, Ma Teng's threat is even greater than Liu Bei.
However, in Zhou Yang's mind, Liu Bei was the biggest obstacle to Cao Cao's unification of the world. On the contrary, Ma Teng's stupid loyalty to the Han Dynasty. If he could be good at taking advantage of this, he could turn Ma Teng into another Xun Yu.
After having sex with Ma Yunlu last night, Zhou Yang not only felt refreshed, but his thinking became very clear, and he grasped the key to many troubles for a while.
The next day, Zhou Yang went to Sikong Mansion with great confidence.
But he was not as arrogant as Cao Cao. He still followed the Han Dynasty's etiquette and came to Emperor Xian's dormitory after being informed by each level.
At this time, we usually negotiated in the hall, but now Cao Cao personally conquered Lu Bu, so no one dared to preside over the court meeting except Zhou Yang.
After entering the room, Emperor Xian Liu Xie was still lying on the bed in his pajamas, with his back facing Zhou Yang, and his tone was like a lazy person who had not yet woken up and asked: "You are here, you are here, I am not feeling well, so keep lying down like this!"
Seeing that the emperor had obviously grown much taller, there was no trace of the childhood figure of the little emperor back then. At the same time, he heard that he called him Zhou Taishou in this uninhabited room, and seemed quite unfamiliar. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked tentatively: "Since your Majesty is ill, you should rest more."
"I'm going to start the matter!" Emperor Xian moved sideways and waited for a long time before he spitting out a few words.
"My dear better to leave first, and come back when His Majesty becomes better another day." Zhou Yang sighed.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Emperor Xian jumped off the bed, pointed at Zhou Yang and said angrily: "If you have anything, just say it!"
Zhou Yang was surprised. It turned out that the little emperor was still the little emperor. Only the person closest to him would be angry. However, he was quite relieved and couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty is pretending to be sick!"
Emperor Xian looked at Zhou Yang with trembling eyes, ignoring whether he had lost his composure. Finally, he couldn't help but rush up and hug him, shouting: "Brother! Why did you only come to see the couplet yet?"
Zhou Yang did not answer his question because there was no way to start. He just asked with concern: "Mr. Cao is okay to Your Majesty?"
Emperor Xian nodded and said, "The couplet is just too lonely. Apart from that, everything is pretty good. Didn't my brother say that he would bring Xiaoyao to see the couplet before? Why did he wait for the couplet for so many years?"
Zhou Yang felt ache and could not answer this question no matter what. He was about to bite the bullet and lie, but suddenly his mind moved and said, "I have sent someone to inquire everywhere. Although I haven't found Xiaoyao, I have met her fellow countryman."
Emperor Xian sat back on the bed, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said happily: "Is it Brother Zhongda?"
Zhou Yang shook and said, "It's Zhang Chunhua. I don't know if Your Majesty knows you. She is also looking for Zhongda and Xiaoyao!"
Emperor Xian said: "I often heard Xiaoyao mention it before, saying that Zhang Chunhua is the childhood sweetheart of Brother Zhongda, just like Lian and Xiaoyao's relationship. Unfortunately, I couldn't use this to convince him. As a result, I was separated from Xiaoyao for many years. I don't know how Xiaoyao is now, whether she is still so depressed, and whether she has grown up..."
When Xiaoyao was mentioned, he kept talking.
It can be seen that the little emperor's feelings for Xiaoyao are still increasing, which makes Zhou Yang feel even more guilty.
Finally, Emperor Xian realized that Zhou Yang had never had the chance to speak. He coughed embarrassedly and asked again: "Then brother will bring Sister Chunhua to play with Lian. Is it OK? Lian also wanted to ask her in person what was going on in Hanoi and why there was no news about Sima's clan."
Zhou Yang did not really send someone to inquire, but since the little emperor had spoken, he was embarrassed to push and delay again, so he had to agree.
Anyway, Sima Yi has been transferred by Fang Yuzhu, and the underground black market in Puyang should be a very hidden place.
Even if you really send someone to Hanoi to inquire, you will find talents like Sima Lang and Sima Fu, and in the end it will be used by Cao Cao, which will not be of any benefit to Emperor Xian.
When Zhou Yang asked about Liu Bei, Emperor Xian actually sneered at the emperor's uncle, saying that he kept supporting the Han Dynasty and saving the people from water and fire, wherever there was danger, he existed, and other nonsense.
As a result, when he arrived in Xudu, except for Cao Cao asking him to meet the saint once, he either asked someone to drink and have fun all day long, or went out to hunt and play, and did not take the court that was about to collapse seriously.
Zhou Yang naturally knew that Liu Bei was afraid of arousing Cao Cao's suspicion, so he pretended to be so pretentious, but he did not intend to tell it. Instead, he asked: "What did Liu Bei do that time when he met the saint?"
Emperor Xian said, "What else can I do? I don't say a word from beginning to end, and I just stood at the end like a wooden man."
Zhou Yang secretly praised in his heart that Liu Bei was indeed very good at pretending and forbearing.
Now he is under someone else's roof. Xu Du is named the capital of the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is the most central part of Cao Cao's sphere of influence. All the regimes are in his hands.
Not to mention the Liu Bei, even Yuan Shao, who was the fourth generation and the third Duke, or Ma Teng, who brought thousands of Xiliang cavalry, to Xudu, could only let others take steps.
After scolding Liu Bei, Emperor Xian began to praise Cao Cao's talents again.
Zhou Yang wondered why, as a puppet emperor, he was invincible to his powerful ministers. Seeing that he was young, he could not see any impurities in his eyes except for the innocent innocence he still retained and the flashing of his smart eyes.
After all, this emperor has almost never had his own world since he was a child, except at the mercy of Dong Zhuo, the control of Li Guo and the power of Cao Cao.
Xiao Yao, the only childhood sweetheart, was killed by Zhou Yang again.
Zhou Yang only felt that he had lost too much to him in his life, so he could only try to find opportunities to compensate him and make him live a happier life!
At the same time, I hope that the petite and cute Zhang Chunhua can replace Xiaoyao's position.
I don’t have to worry about Sima Yi’s future wife. Anyway, he won’t have the chance to appear on the historical stage at all.
So after leaving Sikong's Mansion, he sent someone to Luoyang to summon Zhang Chunhua and secretly contacted Geng Long, so that he did not need to show up, just secretly protecting the safety of Ma Teng's family.
Only after pursuing these thoughts could Zhou Yang take care of the construction of the imperial city.
Just then, Xuzhou was in war, and Wu Fang also came from news that he received the matter of his appointment as Zhou Taishou's appointment to contract the construction of the palace, he immediately rushed from Mount Tai.
It would be even better if the project of the Imperial City could be handed over to them to the Taishan merchants, and they believed that they were confident that they could complete the task.
"When this kid comes, let's see what the concept of imperial city is!" Zhou Yangsai said.
"There is news from Luoyang that Sima Lang has returned and brought a person to see you, Taishou Zhou." The humanitarian from the intelligence group said.
It seems that Sima Lang has found the talent who Xun Yu has promoted the agent of Luoyang City. I wonder if Jia Xi is really as talented as he said. If this is true, there will inevitably be a new person in history from then on.
At the same time, I also wanted to ask Sima Lang about the situation of the Sima family and find out whether he had sent someone to find his brother Sima Yi, so I asked the intelligence personnel to continue to return to Luoyang to make a notice.
A few days later, Wenlong came to report that a large group of people came to Mount Tai.
Zhou Yang immediately knew that Wu Fang could not wait to come, so he planned to send someone to greet him. When he thought about it, the contract project he had now been expanded by more than ten times, so the kid must have been so excited that he didn't know why.
Besides, I am now the highest administrative staff of Xudu, so I should put on airs to gain more bargaining chips.
So he asked Wenlong to lead the way, and he slipped to Sikong Mansion.
Emperor Xian is naturally obedient to Zhou Yang now. Not only do he have brotherly feelings for each other, Zhou Yang is also his life-saving benefactor.
If Zhou Yang hadn't sneaked into Chang'an alone and rescued him from Li Guo's clutches repeatedly, he would probably still be in dire straits and storms. How could he have lived as comfortable as his life now?
In addition, Emperor Xian had no malicious intentions towards Cao Cao himself. The Han Dynasty was originally empty talk such as supporting the Han Dynasty. It was just a dream of stupid and loyal people like Xun Yu and Ma Teng. It was not as indignant as the "Blood Edict to Fight the Thieves" written in the Romance.
A banquet was prepared in the hall, and soon Wenlong led Wu Fang and more than a dozen people to come and each had their own meals.
Zhou Yang made polite words like greeting them, while Emperor Xian hid in his dormitory.
As the king of a country, you have to put on airs no matter what.
The people who came with Wu Fang this time were obviously very different from those who went to Luoyang before.
This kid is no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, he sits in the last seat with a respectful attitude and allows other elders who are older than him to come.
After the introduction, I realized that the so-called Taishan merchants had come to Xudu.
In addition to avoiding the war in Xuzhou, the most important thing is to be attracted by the huge project to build the imperial city.
