Liu Ke was stunned. He didn't expect Cao Jie to ask such an explicit question.
However, he originally had no intention of doing anything to Liu Xie. After all, he is also the emperor of Han Dynasty. If he is not good for him, he will also damage his reputation. Liu Ke is not willing to do something that is not worth the gain.
Immediately, Liu Ke said sternly, "What the queen said is too much. Is it possible that in your heart, I am the kind of violent person who kills my relatives!"
Cao Jie saw Liu Ke's sullen expression, which showed that he was really angry, and he felt relieved.
Since ancient times, new emperors have not allowed the existence of another emperor. Although Liu Xie is willing to abdicate, he has been an emperor after all. She was worried that Liu Ke would kill Liu Xie secretly out of fear, so she asked this question.
It seems now that Liu is not the kind of person who burns bridges when crossing rivers.
Cao Jie's expression softened and he apologized and said, "It's not my fault. I hope the King of Chu doesn't care."
Liu Ke was not unreasonable. He nodded, considered the matter to be in the past, and said to Cao Jie.
"Queen, since you are willing to take the risk to come to Gu to deliver this imperial edict, Gu will naturally reciprocate the favor. If you want the emperor to be safe and sound, please ask the queen to persuade the emperor to abdicate the throne to Cao Cao again."
"What?" Cao Jie stared at Liu Ke, who looked serious, and couldn't believe it, and spoke quietly.
"King Chu, are you humiliating me? You clearly know that my father is Cao Cao. If you let your majesty do this, wouldn't you be trapping our Cao family into an unkind, unjust and unfaithful position?"
Liu Ke couldn't help but slandered, "Except for Cao Cao who is somewhat loyal, the rest of your Cao family are all ambitious people. As for benevolence and righteousness, it is something that cannot be beaten with eight poles."
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it with his mouth.
"The Queen's words are wrong. Maybe your father, King Cao Cao of Wei, did not have this idea, but don't any of your brothers have this idea?"
Liu Ke¡¯s question made Cao Jie fall into deep thought. As Liu Ke said, she knew her father well and would not do such arrogant things.
But none of his brothers are good people. The fourth brother, Cao Zhang, is in charge of the army outside. He doesn't look down on the big man at all in his daily behavior, and he has long wanted to replace him.
Third brother Cao Zhi is not bad, he only knows how to write and write and does not care about world affairs. What worries Cao Jie the most is his second brother Cao Pi, who is deeply scheming and may have long coveted the throne of emperor.
Thinking of this, Cao Jie looked at Liu Ke and asked, "I understand what King Chu means, but what does this have to do with the Zen status?"
Liu Ke did not speak, but looked to Zhuge Liang aside.
Zhuge Liang understood, stood up and said with a smile, "Has the Queen ever heard of the principle of losing a pawn to protect a chariot?"
"I have heard of it."
"The queen should know that the reason why the king asked the emperor to do this is to save his life. The throne is like a pawn, and life is like a car. Throw away the throne in exchange for life."
Hearing this, Cao Jie's eyes flashed, and he smiled bitterly: "But the throne is related to the country, the country, the country, how can we throw it away so easily?"
Zhuge Liang explained: "Has the queen forgotten that the emperor has abdicated the throne to the king in advance, and the Liu family still has the final say in the affairs of the Han Dynasty."
This time, Cao Jie really came to his senses. He relaxed and said with a smile, "I see, I am really stupid. I can't even figure this out. Thanks to King Chu for reminding me, otherwise your Majesty's life might be in danger."
Liu Ke waved his hand and said, "The emperor and Gu are both of the same race, so it is reasonable for Gu to do this. In addition, please ask the queen to take the emperor out of the palace immediately after persuading the emperor to abdicate, and Gu will send someone to help."
"Does King Chu really mean what he said?" Cao Jie asked in surprise.
"The emperor has suffered too much. As a descendant of a great man, he must be protected." Liu Ke looked up at the sky, looking worried about the country and the people.
Cao Jie bit his lip and said loudly, "I would like to thank King Gaoyi of Chu. I will return to Luoyang to persuade His Majesty."
After saying that, Cao Jie turned around and was about to leave. Liu Ke hurriedly ordered: "Uncle Zhi, you take five hundred soldiers to change into Cao's army uniforms and escort the queen all the way back. Remember, you must bring the emperor back to me safe and sound. !¡±
"No!" Chen Dao responded as he came out of the queue.
After Cao Jie and Chen arrived, Liu Ke showed a cheerful smile.
Guo Jia said: "Congratulations to the king, with the emperor's edict on the throne, the king can legitimately ascend the throne as emperor!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Others? also congratulated one after another.
Liu Ke quickly regained his composure and said, "It's too early to congratulate me at this time. I have to wait until the emperor arrives here before ascending the throne as emperor."
Zhuge Liang vaguely guessed Liu Ke's thoughts and asked, "Could it be that the king wants to use the emperor's arch to gain the hearts of the people in the world?"
"Kong Ming is the one who knows me!" Liu Xiaoxiao said; "With the secret help of Queen Cao Jie, as long as Liu Xie brings up the Zen throne, Cao Pi will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the throne and agree to Liu Xie's Zen throne. When the time comes, Chen Dao will Quietly bring the Emperor to Gu here."
"At that time, Gu will proclaim himself emperor again, and with the emperor as his witness, who in the world will dare to disobey? Moreover, Gu only needs to treat the Emperor well, and the people of the world will surely feel Gu's benevolence and righteousness, and all people will return to his heart, so why should the world be worried!"
After Liu Ke finished speaking, Zhuge Liang and others looked horrified. They didn't expect that Liu Ke had planned everything properly, and the arrangement was so perfect. Such a hero is the one who truly stabilizes the world!
Pang Tong suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, since the Emperor is almost under control, why not slow down the offensive on Luoyang and give them enough breathing space to discuss the Zen throne."
"That's what Shi Yuan reminds you." Liu Ke nodded and immediately ordered; "Come, please inform Taishi Ci and Dian Wei to slow down the attack. However, Lu Meng needs to continue the fierce attack and capture the Hongnong Group as soon as possible."
"Promise." After receiving the order, the ordering soldier immediately went down to convey the order.
After everything was arranged, Liu Ke stared at the map in front of him and fell into thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the position of Tongguan in Hongnong Qun, and he said worriedly: "It has been so many days since Cao Cao returned from Chang'an, but there is no news from the scouts on the front line. Could there be something unexpected?"
Guo Jia stepped forward, observed the map for a moment, and concluded.
"The fastest route from Chang'an back to Luoyang is to pass through Tongguan and go straight to Luoyang. However, General Lu Meng is leading his troops to attack Hongnong. If Cao Cao marches through Tongguan on a large scale, he will definitely be discovered. If not, there is only one possibility."
Zhuge Liang listened to Guo Jia¡¯s inference, shook his feather fan, and said slowly: ¡°Is it possible to detour from Hancheng to show filial piety?¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
