Xun Mansion.
Xun Yu had already lived in seclusion and no longer interfered with the affairs of the court.
Now he has long understood that there are many talents under Ming Gong's command, and he does not need the advice of the king's assistant.
Maybe at first, he would feel a little lonely.
But his current life makes him extremely satisfied.
Once people get older, they have to think about many things.
Xun Yu always thought that he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Mang's letter obviously woke him up.
Cao Cao did many things that violated the Han Dynasty, but he, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, ignored them.
At the end, Cao Cao called Wei Gong and Wei King, and Xun Yu discovered that the Yingchuan nobles were no longer Cao Cao's core team.
He is anxious!
The final result was that Liu Mang was ruthlessly ridiculed, and Cao Cao also gradually stopped asking him for advice.
"Wen Ruo, you are so elegant."
"You play the piano and water the flowers at home every day. You have been free for too long."
Hearing the familiar voice of the visitor, Xun Yu was a little moved.
"Ming Gong!"
Xun Yu came to his senses, knelt down again and said, "My lord, I have met the King of Wei!"
Among the monarchs and ministers who once swore together to support the Han Dynasty, one was still Xun Lingjun of the Han Dynasty, and the other became the King of Wei who was second only to the emperor.
"Wen Ruo doesn't need to be polite."
Xu Chu always stood by Cao Cao's side, and Xun Yu could not forget the day Xu You was killed.
It was this man known as the "Tiger Marquis" who cut through the mess with a sharp sword and killed those who had made great achievements in the Battle of Guandu.
"Gu, I came here today to ask Yu Wenruo about his plans."
Cao Cao smiled calmly: "Wen Ruo thinks, can I replace the Han Dynasty?"
When Xun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.
What is supposed to come will come!
He had tried his best to delay, but King Wei was still interested.
"King Wei..."
Xun Yu took a deep breath: "Do you want to accept temporary infamy or eternal infamy?"
Cao Cao heard this and replied, "What's the difference between the two?"
"If the Cao family does not replace the Han Dynasty, although Ming Gong will be infamous for a while, he will become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty through the ages and be praised by future generations."
"If future generations commit treason and are crowned emperors for Ming Gong, Ming Gong will replace those rebellious sons and grandsons and be reviled by thousands of people for eternity!"
Xun Yu bluntly expressed his thoughts. Even though Cao Cao was a traitor, he still cared about his own affairs.
"Gu, how can you not know?"
"As their ancestors, we should also protect them from wind and rain."
Cao Cao sighed: "Wen Ruo, when did you and I drift apart?"
"Are you an orphan, a loyal member of the Han Dynasty, or a hero who protects the family?"
Xun Yu stood up and bowed again, saying respectfully: "Ming Gong is determined to help the world and revive the Han Dynasty. I am the son of Ming Gong!"
"Ming Gong has taken advantage of the emperor to disobey his subjects. I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, mediating the conflicts between Ming Gong and the Han Dynasty!"
"Ming Gong wants to usurp things now, and I am the hero who protects the family! The Xun family will also assist Ming Gong, but Wen Ruo is no longer a fellow traveler with Ming Gong."
Uh-huh!
Xu Chu had already drawn his saber, but Xun Yu did not show the fear that Xu You had that day.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Zhongkang, do you think Wen Ruo is a rat like Xu You? Your sword cannot scare him!"
Xu Chuweng said angrily: "Your Majesty! I only know that as long as you are a human being, you will be afraid of death!"
Xun Yu looked at Xu Chu mockingly. In the past, he had to put up with the stupid guy in front of him just for the sake of Cao Cao.
Now, there is no need at all, and there is no need!
"Wen Ruo, I am very satisfied today. I finally know what you are thinking."
Cao Cao stood up and left. Xun Yu bowed and bowed again.
Soon after, his son Xun Yun came over in a hurry.
"Father! King Wei left you a cake! This is a great favor!"
"I know that in my heart, I will always have you and our Xun family!"
"Hurry up and eat some while you're at it!"
Xun Yu smiled helplessly, looking at his son in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, the Xun family had a great business and had intermarriage with aristocratic families.
There is no relationship like a solid political alliance.
Xun Yu gently opened the brocade box, only to see that there was nothing in the box.
"This...did King Wei make a mistake?"
Xun Yun was a little confused, but Xun Yu smiled knowingly.
"It should be so, no need to be surprised."
Xun Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is my father's destiny! Remember, no matter when in the future, you must not bear grudges against King Wei!"
"In addition, Mr. Cao can help you, don't be a loyal minister and righteous man!"
Xun Yun still didn't understand, Xun Yu shouted angrily: "Remember?"
Xun Yun nodded quickly, wondering why his father was so angry.
"Why, I always feel like there is an invisible hand controlling everything secretly."
Xun Yu already understood what the empty brocade box represented.
That was King Wei secretly telling him that he could go and die.
"As soon as I die...the veterans of the Han Dynasty will definitely take action."
"In order to stabilize the situation of the government, Duke Ming must not engage in sword fighting again..."
"At that time, Liu Bei can naturally go north to Liangzhou without any obstacles!"
Xun Yu laughed loudly at this time: "I didn't expect that all your hard work ended up just making a wedding dress for Liu Bei!"
That night, Xun Yu committed suicide by taking poison. Cao Cao was filled with emotion and ordered him to be buried well.
The old officials of the Han Dynasty were leaderless, and some people had no choice but to assassinate Cao Cao.
Cao Cao finally saw the enemy showing his tail, and the final purge of Han Dynasty officials finally arrived!
In a rage, Cao Cao killed Yecheng until a river of blood flowed out!
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in Xuchang, burst into tears after hearing this.
"Xun Lingjun is dead...Why are the old officials of the Han Dynasty so anxious..."
"I now have no relatives and no one I can trust!"
Cao Cao quickly quelled the hidden dangers left by Xun Yu's death, but he had to personally take charge to avoid panic.
The losses caused by the Battle of Hanzhong will now take two to three years to make up for.
The Central Plains was recovering, and Cao Cao understood the difficulty of using troops.
But he never expected that Liu Bei and his son would be so shameless.
"King of Wei! Liu Bei sent one hundred thousand troops out of Hanzhong to attack Liangzhou!"
"What? How dare Big Er bully Gu Gu like this!"
Cao Cao was furious, but he no longer had the energy to harass Liu Bei and seize Liangzhou!
"Go and write a letter to Ke Bineng!"
"If he can resist Liu Bei, give him food if he wants, and money if he wants money!"
After Cao Cao gave the order, his men immediately went to do it.
"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate? Xianbei's ambition has already invaded our border with Youzhou."
"If you have money and food, I'm afraid..."
Man Chong was afraid that Cao Cao's actions of capitalizing on the enemy would eventually come back to bite him.
"Bo Ren, I just said I would give it to you, but I didn't say when I would give it to you!"
"Sometimes, we have to give those barbarians hope!"
"Qianghu, Xianbei, Western Regions! These barbarians are enough to drink a pot!"
