As the holder of a special status, Cao Cao actually assumed the responsibility of escorting Chen Dan. Chen Dan was mainly responsible for submitting the letter, while Cao Cao had to ensure that nothing would happen to Chen Dan.
No one knows what kind of scandal those eunuchs who have no lower limit to murder and exterminate people can do.
They really may not know how to kill people in the palace.
Therefore, Cao Cao, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, is already prepared. If the eunuch really wants to fight him to the death, then he will show off his martial arts skills and fight to the death with the eunuch.
However, compared to Cao Cao's nervousness, Chen Danduo seemed to be quite confident that the old god was there.
Seeing Cao Ca looking around nervously, Chen Dan smiled.
"Mengde, you don't have to be so nervous. This is already the palace. As long as you let me in, this matter will basically be settled."
"Mr. Chen, you should be more cautious. Eunuchs do things unscrupulously."
"Hahaha, if they dare to be violent to the current Situ in the palace for no reason, the world of this great man might really be theirs, but it is not the case now."
Chen Dan smiled and said: "If the emperor himself does not agree with something, do you think the eunuchs will be so confident in doing it?"
"this……"
Cao Cao lowered his head and thought for a while, then laughed: "What you said makes sense, I am still too nervous... If Xuande were here, I would not be so nervous."
"Xuande? You mean Liu Xuande?"
"Exactly."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "This whole thing was planned by Xuande. If Xuande were here, he would be very calm and would never be so nervous."
"oh?"
Chen Dan thought about Liu Bei who came to his house with Zhang Miao and He Yong that day but didn't say a word, and he became more concerned.
"Did he plan this whole thing?"
"Exactly, we thought a lot at the beginning and didn't know how to fight against the eunuchs. It was Xuande who made the plans and had an overview of all the affairs. We are all following Xuande's arrangements."
Cao Cao sighed: "I'm afraid I can't compare with someone as talented as Xuande. It's a very lucky thing to be friends with Xuande."
Chen Dan looked at Cao Cao.
"Mengde admires this person very much?"
Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
"That's natural. Xuande came from an ordinary background, but he has been able to persevere all the way to where he is today. What he has put in must be unimaginable hard work and effort. Not only me, but Benchu also trusts him very much."
"It's really not easy for you both to trust someone."
Chen Dan originally thought that this operation was the joint effort of Yuan Shao's team, but he did not expect that it was Liu Bei who planned, organized and controlled the overall situation.
Being able to mobilize so many people from different backgrounds under Yuan Shao to work together on one thing, Liu Bei is truly the best among men.
"Yuan Benchu has this person to plan for him. If he can always trust this person, it will not be difficult for him to become a prince and become a prime minister in the future."
Chen Dan said: "It's just that he doesn't seem to be a disciple or former official of the Yuan family, right?"
"Well, he is a disciple of Duke Lu. He was promoted as a filial and honest person by the governor of Zhuo County and came to Luoyang. He has nothing to do with the Yuan family."
"Oh, that sounds interesting."
Chen Dan narrowed his eyes and thought carefully. He felt that Liu Bei was not a disciple of the Yuan family, nor did he have any friendship with the Yuan family. He only relied on his own ability to gain Yuan Shao's favor and trust, and now he was even able to command the forces under Yuan Shao's command. Political offensive.
His evaluation of Liu Bei has reached a higher level.
Their journey went smoothly, but when he and Cao Cao were about to enter the West Garden to meet Liu Hong, they were stopped by the eunuch.
The person who stopped them was Zhao Zhong, an important figure among the famous eunuch Shi Changshi.
"Hey, isn't this Chen Situ? And you, Cao Yilang, why are you here?"
Zhao Zhong saw Cao Cao and Chen Dan appearing here from a distance and immediately stepped forward to stop them.
Seeing Zhao Zhong step forward to attack, Cao Cao immediately stepped forward to resist Zhao Zhong and protect Chen Dan.
"I have come here to see His Majesty, and I would also like to ask Da Changqiu to inform you."
Cao Cao said, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Why was Zhao Zhong blushing and panting a little, as if he had just run for a while.
What did this guy do just now?
But Cao Cao didn't really care what this guy was doing just now. They were already at the gate of the West Garden. What they have to do now is to enter the West Garden, see the emperor, hand over the petition to the emperor, open fire on Xu Kuan and Zhang Ji, and defeat eunuch.
Of course Zhao Zhong would not let them go in so easily.
They had heard about the large-scale political action planned by Liu Bei and others very early, and also sent people to investigate, trying to find some clues.
However, their intelligence capabilities are not that strong.
However, they learned that Yuan Shao had made some moves, and also heard that the party member they hated, He Yong, was active, but no trace of He Yong could be found, which made them very troubled.
So they sent people to keep a close eye on Yuan Shao's mansion, but found no clues. After all, there were always many people in Yuan Shao's mansion, and Yuan Shao had not committed any crime. They had no reason to ban Yuan Shao from interacting with other scholars.
Furthermore, the relationship between the prestigious Yuan family in Runan and the eunuchs is quite ambiguous. Not only does the Yuan family dare not break up with the eunuchs, but the eunuchs may not dare to break up with the Yuan family either.
Therefore, even though they heard that Yuan Shao had connections with some taboo party members, the eunuchs only dared to complain about Yuan Shao's misbehavior in front of Yuan's spokesperson, Yuan Wei, and did not dare to actually do anything.
Yuan Wei pretended to reprimand Yuan Shao, saying nothing serious or serious, but Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously at all and continued to go his own way.
The eunuchs had nothing to do about it. They were annoyed and could only stare.
As for this political action, the eunuchs were still unable to determine who was behind the scenes, whether it was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Chen Dan, or Yuan Wei who was hiding behind.
But when the action really started, the eunuchs were still caught off guard.
Because the momentum of this action is too great.
The eunuchs originally thought that this was a matter within the ruling class and that ministers would risk their lives to appear in court, but as long as they dealt with those who risked their lives to appear in court, the problem would be solved.
But they never expected that the offensive Liu Bei was preparing to carry out would not be that simple.
He directly amplified it.
A total of more than 800 people from nearly twenty counties marched through the streets and alleys of Luoyang, spreading unfavorable information about the eunuchs while marching.
They said that the eunuch had slandered the twenty-six county guards, that the eunuch was plotting something evil, that the eunuch had deceived His Majesty the Emperor, and so on. This incident made everyone in Luoyang famous.
Many people followed the parade to watch the excitement, which invisibly amplified the momentum of the entire parade. A huge sea of people gathered outside the palace, frightening the eunuchs until they turned pale.
In fact, these people are not many, no more than a thousand.
But Luoyang City is not that big, and the area designated as the palace and government offices is still about two-thirds full. When these teams of more than a thousand people are all in a relatively small space, , can reflect the effect of a huge crowd of people.
