Chapter 3524: Two Dilemmas (additional update)(2/2)
Why are there no loyal and brave people standing up and showing off their arms and shouting?
Didn’t it be agreed that Cao Cao would step down? Aren’t they all criticizing Cao Cao’s crimes like this?
Why did these people really feel so unbearable when Cao Cao appears, like frightened birds, just thinking about escaping, and never thought of fighting to the death with Cao Cao?!
Why?!
Liu Xie couldn't understand.
It is precisely because he can't understand that he thought things too simple before.
He thought that a white silk, a pot of poisonous wine, and a short blade could lead to the lives of some people. An edict, a seal, and a gossip could determine the future of some people...
All of this is indeed the embodiment of imperial power, the embodiment of the supreme authority and majesty that the king wants his minister to die and his minister has to die!
However, this has a prerequisite...
Liu Xie also thought that since he was the emperor and the emperor, he naturally gained this authority, but he had always forgotten, ignored, and avoided. Where did his authority and such majesty come from?
Once the imperial power is gone, it is nothing better than the people!
The imperial power supported by the people is the real imperial power, and once the people lose confidence in the dynasty and abandoned by the people, the imperial power will naturally become a joke!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Shi Sun Rui whispered from the side, "Cao thief... Prime Minister Cao's momentum... Your Majesty should first appease it and wait and see what the change will be the best strategy..."
Liu Xie gritted his teeth and remained silent.
He didn't want to pay attention to Sun Rui.
Who said in advance that Cao thief was dead this time, but now he changed his words to call him Prime Minister Cao?
Shi Sun Rui seemed to have noticed the resentment in Liu Xie's heart, and whispered from the side: "Your Majesty... Prime Minister Cao's behavior is becoming more and more violent, just like the past... What's more, this Guanzhong... If the situation in the world has not been decided..."
Liu Xie turned his gaze slightly and glanced at him, "Love... how did you know that if the cavalry had come here... wouldn't show off so much power?!"
"This..." Shi Sun Rui lowered his head and was silent for a while, and finally whispered, "Your Majesty... Two harms are the least... Fortunately, your Majesty has not given the order yet...
Liu Xie turned his head again and looked at Qianmen Street.
Hundreds of people, from the beginning, developed slowly on Qianmen Street, and later they went to the palace to write a letter to dismiss Cao Cao. It took five or six days, but within a quarter of an hour, they were driven away by the cavalry of the Cao army and trampled and killed!
What is this?!
This is also considered to be the least of two evils?!
Liu Xie felt that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.
"No order has been issued yet..." Liu Xie repeated in a low voice.
Yes, he "luckily" has not ordered the removal of Cao Cao, otherwise he would be dead now!
Liu Xie climbed the city gate tower today just to watch the fun?
Obviously not. He originally planned to issue an edict today to "comply with the will of the people"!
But he didn't expect that Cao Cao would come at this time!
Liu Xie wondered if Cao Cao was waiting for him to come forward and immediately showed up when he received the signal?
Although Liu Xie has not issued an edict, it is not a complete turn of confrontation, but in fact it is almost the same. Even so, it is still very embarrassing. Liu Xie even felt that Cao Cao was deliberately slapping himself in the face!
This was the case last time, but this time it was still the case!
Liu Xie couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he had been more impulsive today, no, yesterday he impulsively ordered to send an angel to take the edict and take these people from Qianmen Street to the Prime Minister's Mansion to read out the edict to dismiss Cao Cao?
Did Cao Cao become a stray dog?
But the next moment, Liu Xie realized that even if he made this decision yesterday, it might not be useful. Maybe he had just made the decision and Cao Cao appeared...
This is……
Liu Xie looked around and looked around.
Above the high walls of the palace, there were a row of imperial guards standing.
These guards are bright and stand upright, facing the palace, and they seem to be the conscientious guardians of the palace, guarding him, the emperor...
『…』 Liu Xie's eyes swept over these guards one by one.
As soon as he climbed the gate tower of the palace, there were probably people who sent messages directly to the outside world, right?
What are these guards?
Should I protect him or monitor him, was it the imperial guards of the Han Palace, or the minions under Cao Cao?
Liu Xie originally thought that Cao Cao had really fallen, so the guards arranged by Cao Cao should consider moving closer to him. But now he realized that even if Cao Cao fell, these guys would not listen to him...
So what about the edicts he thought he was clever before?
No, it was not just his edict, but everything he had now, including the palace in front of him, and everything inside and outside the palace. Liu Xie suddenly realized that these things did not belong to him!
There is no one around him!
Cao Cao, Fei Qian.
There were other princes, other ministers, and even Shi Sun Rui who stood in front of him were his opponents and enemies!
And the people running on Qianmen Street in front of you are like the collapsed Han Dynasty!
A complete defeat!
"My dear, please meet Cao for me...Prime Minister!"
Liu Xie took a deep breath, shook his sleeves, and left the city gate tower. He didn't want to see Cao Cao's proud face, at least not at this time.
"This... I obey the order..."
Shi Sun Rui was a little panicked. Although his name was the Three Olds and was respected every day, respect was not a golden robe. If Cao Cao really wanted to settle the score...
However, Cao Cao could not listen to Liu Xie's orders, but Shi Sun Rui was not qualified to not listen.
"Cough cough..." Shi Sun Rui coughed a few times. After all, he had been ups and downs among officials for many years. He was the first course to practice. He quickly adjusted his mindset and smiled at the Prime Minister. "The Prime Minister rescued the Lord in time to quell the thieves and chaos, and welcomed him with a ceremonial guard! Go and prepare!"
Happy New Year!
May the country be prosperous and the people be safe!
May you be healthy!
